The world is heavy and late

Chapter 291

Xu Zhong said he was going to visit Mr. Guo, but he never thought of taking Xia Qing with him, and Xia Qing didn't insist on following him, but he firmly got Xu Zhong two pieces of cotton cloth to cover his mouth and nose.

"You and Mr. Shen also talk about it. If you are in charge of entering and leaving the epidemic area on a daily basis, it is better to wear this."

Xu Zhong obediently sat on the stool and let Xia Qing toss: "Is this useful?"

Xia Qing smiled and said: "I don't know, but talking is better than nothing. I know that these cottons and linens may be lacking now, but after using the face towel once, boil it in boiling water for an hour, and it should be able to be used again. This should be called comfort. "

Xu Zhong nodded, stood up and looked at Xia Qing and said, "I may come back later today, and ask Mr. Shen to prepare a room for me in the nearby yard, so I won't come in."

Xia Qing shook his head and said: "Don't let Hou San and Cheng Dalang come in, you come back, even if you are really infected with the epidemic, I will definitely be by your side, why do you bother with this?"

Xu Zhong was about to speak again, Xia Qing stepped forward and took Xu Zhong's hand, tiptoeing and kissed Xu Zhong's forehead lightly, softly, with the ability to comfort people's hearts.

"Anyone in this world can continue to live without me, but you can't, right?"

Xu Zhong felt the temperature on his forehead. The heat on his face and the restless heart kept reminding him that he didn't say right or wrong, but just put his forehead close to Xia Qing's and said, "Go to bed early."

Xia Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry about anything, I'll write a letter to Gu Weiyun, Mr. Gu's business has grown a lot with the help of his younger brother and son over the years, there is a medicinal material business, I can find a way, you guys Prepare to send someone to respond."

Xu Zhong nodded, stroked Xia Qing's cheek for the last time, and turned to leave. Xia Qing watched Xu Zhong's back go away before going back to write the letter.

Shen Changfeng's medicinal materials have been unable to get through because the wealthy households in Xuzhou City want to earn a fortune, but there are no outlets in other places for a while, and you can't squeeze into this circle at all.

Shen Changfeng led troops all the year round, and he knew too little about merchants, so he was always at a loss for what to do.

But Mr. Gu can do it. Mr. Gu has traveled all over the world for many years. He has plenty of roads and goods. As long as he can ensure that they are delivered here safely, although it is impossible to make money completely, the money broadcast by the Ministry of Households is enough for Mr. Gu to not lose too much. .

Although there is no profit, there will be fame, which is also what Gu Weiyun needs.

After Xia Qing finished writing the letter, he asked Hou San to rush it back to Beijing. Hou San shyly looked at the letter in his hand and then at Xia Qing, not knowing what to choose for a while.

Xia Qinghu frightened him: "If you don't go quickly, the epidemic will spread throughout Xuzhou, let alone me, even if you don't even have a chance to ask for help, why don't you go quickly."

Hou San was immediately intimidated by Xia Qing. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was the reason, so he obediently ran back to deliver the letter.

As for Xia Qing glanced at Cheng Dalang, who was standing blankly by the side, not knowing what to do, and said, "You go back today and copy the Spring and Autumn Period five times, and don't go out every day, do you understand?"

Cheng Dalang was dumbfounded, but due to Xia Qing's lust, he could only agree aggrievedly in the end.

Xia Qing made sure of the matter here, looked up at the starry sky in the yard, took a deep breath, and prayed in her heart that this epidemic could really be brought under control as soon as possible.

Here, when Xu Zhong came to visit his doctor, Guo Shilang only had high fever and vomiting and diarrhea, so he was not completely confused.

So after Xu Zhong came to the door, he was able to talk for a few words.

It's just that Guo Shilang didn't let Xu Zhong come forward, and even ordered someone to pull a screen and put it between the two of them.Xu Zhongyuan thought that it was rude for him to come to the door like this, but Guo Shilang was even more frightened.

"Master Xu, have you come to Xuzhou too?"

Although Xu Zhong couldn't see anyone, he bowed his hands to Guo Shilang according to his official position and said: "Your Majesty wrote to me, saying that the situation in Xuzhou is in danger, and I specially ordered an official to come to help."

"Ahem, Mr. Xu is being polite, you, you, you have to be careful of those wolf-hearted troublemakers. Don't come close to me either."

"I, if I spread the disease to you, I will be a real sinner."

Xu Zhongzhong felt a little tired, and he said slowly, "Your Excellency, you are worrying too much. It is only right for the lower officials to share your worries. Besides, the doctor also said that your condition is improving."

Maybe Guo Shilang really thinks that he is like this, between life and death, just like the people who have seen the epidemic in the past few days, let’s get through it, people will die after these ten days, some even don’t need it, It went so quietly for a few days, and Guo Shilang was always very excited, such excitement was even a little abnormal.

"Ahem, Mr. Xu, what I said is true, cough."

Xu Zhong: ... "My lord, take care of yourself and don't get excited."

"Listen to me, although I usually look down on you coldly and indifferently, I always know that you are very capable, and even His Majesty trusts you very much. No one except Mr. Zhang has this trust. , cough cough cough."

Maybe it was because he was too excited to say it, and he was choked and coughed for a while. Xu Zhong really wanted to persuade Guo Shilang to take a good rest, but he also knew that Guo Shilang might not be able to calm down for a while.

Ever since he learned that he was infected with the epidemic, Guo Shilang ordered himself to be confined in this small courtyard, surrounded by sick people from the families of some wealthy and powerful people in Xuzhou City.

As long as there is no question of whether to confine him or not, once he was discovered, Shen Changfeng directly led his troops to drag him out. Although many people were dissatisfied, there is one thing to say, Shen Changfeng can be called a local snake in the boundary of Xuzhou.

No one can suppress it, firstly, the Shen family has been accumulated in Xuzhou for generations, and it is a well-known old family, and secondly, Shen Changfeng has killed as many people as anyone in these years, although most of them are foreigners who came to disturb the border.

After Guo Shilang ordered him to be imprisoned, Shen Changfeng came two or three times, but because of a lot of business, he came and went in a hurry every time, and he didn't say a few words to Guo Shilang. There was only one servant in front of him.

Probably sick people are extremely fragile. Seeing the people crying and shouting in the yard next door, the whole family can't wait to come and watch, but he himself is only miserable. I'm afraid it's really the end of the day, and I'm going to die in another country.

His heart was full of grievances, regrets and resentment. He died before he could leave the school. He was the right servant of the household department, and the next secretary of the household department was defeated by a group of vicious people.

Guo Shilang coughed more and more as he thought about it, and when he finally stopped, it had been a while, Mr. Guo was about to cough up tears, he stretched out his hand to wipe it off and said, "It's good to say a person is about to die, Mr. Xu, in fact, although I Most of them are envious and jealous, but I also admire your talents and skills, and of course I also look down on your status as a servant."

"We are more or less from famous families, and it is so difficult to climb up. You are a servant, although you are a small official, but you are the most trusted by the emperor. You think we don't know, if your majesty is not concerned about your identity. , You have entered the province early, and you are also used as a small official who copied documents in the Ministry of Education."

Xu Zhong: ... "Master Guo, thank you for your compliment, but..."

Guo Shilang didn't listen to Xu Zhong's words at all, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that flowed out for unknown reasons: "I'm going to die now, my wife, children, parents and everyone are still waiting for me in the capital, Mr. Xu, you Help me take care of them, I died in the line of duty."

"Actually, I really envy you, Mr. Xu, how can you do what we have worked hard for 20 years in such a short period of time."

"Why does such a person still come from the Chamberlain Court? Does this make us lose face?"

"Have you been astute since childhood? That's why you're so wise now?"

"Master Xu, you must help me take good care of my wife and children, and those who harm me must not be let go."

Xu Zhong: ...Very well, I didn't ask a single question I wanted to ask.

Guo Shilang, who had no one to talk with for a long time, did not give others a chance to intervene.
