Chapter 284 The Plague
Sheng Jiaojiao choked up and said: "Big cousin, I know you don't like me, but you can't humiliate me like this! Our Sheng family is also a famous figure in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Queen Mother in the palace is also my aunt. You say that Do I take her old man seriously again?"

Yang Mu was about to speak, but Lin Xiao couldn't stand it any longer, walked down the steps, stood beside Yang Mu, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao's crying, and said in disgust, "If I'm not mistaken, you and the Empress Dowager are about to give five clothes. ? Even if it is the niece of the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid she can't be unreasonable!"

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to grab Yang Mu's hand, and said, "Why waste your words with her? If she keeps pretending, you can just use your identity as princess to punish her. Even if the Queen Mother knows about it, I'm afraid she is also a helper." Don't help me!"

Seeing Lin Xiao helping Yang Mu in disbelief, Sheng Jiaojiao was so angry that her chest heaved, her nose was almost crooked, she stomped her feet, and ran away crying.

Unexpectedly, before I ran far, I was slid by the snow, and fell into the snow with a sound of "ouch".

Yang Mu watched Sheng Jiaojiao being supported by the maid to stand up, and fell down again after walking a few steps, she couldn't help laughing so much that she bent down.

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Muming's charming smile and said, "I haven't seen you smile like this for a long time."

Yang Mu smiled and waved his hands, and said, "You don't understand, women will feel inexplicably happy when they see green tea is unlucky!"

Although Lin Xiao didn't know what green tea was, but seeing Sheng Jiaojiao who had finally got up, she had a little understanding.

He bent down and grabbed a handful of snow, squeezed it casually, and a small snow ball appeared in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The snowball flew out of Lin Xiao's hand suddenly, hitting Sheng Jiaojiao's ankle.

After finally walking a few steps, Sheng Jiaojiao fell down again, sprawled on all fours, and ate a mouthful of snow.

"Hahaha!"

Yang Mu laughed even louder.

Lin Xiao looked like a student who had been praised by the teacher, with a face full of excitement, he squeezed another small snow ball and shot it with a "swish".

"Ouch!"

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was lying on the ground, was shot in the back of the head, and it hurt so much.

Lin Xiao seemed to be addicted, and kept shooting snow balls, attacking Sheng Jiaojiao in all directions.

Yang Mu was so happy that he couldn't die, it turned out that it was okay!

The snow ball with internal strength is not a snow ball at all, but a hidden weapon!

Tang Jiaojiao was beaten so badly that she couldn't maintain her character any longer, so she couldn't help crying out.

A maid noticed the situation here and came to check, and Lin Xiao stopped his movements.

Yang Mu turned his head to look, and found that Lin Xiao's face was full of pity, as if he hadn't beaten enough.

Lin Xiao looked at Sheng Jiaojiao who was being helped away by the maid in the distance, and said regretfully, "If I had known it, I would have hit her stupid first."

He was regretting that the snow ball hit the back of the head with too little force.

Yang Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "She can't make any waves."

Do you really think she is a soft persimmon, pinching it at will?She just doesn't care about it, she is not a good person to be bullied!
If you make her anxious, let Tang Jiaojiao feel what it means to "look for teeth all over the floor"!
Lin Xiao originally delivered oranges today, and when the oranges were delivered, he explained what should be explained, so naturally nothing happened.

But he didn't want to leave, he dawdled for more than two hours, seeing that the sun was about to set, he reluctantly left.

Yang Mu personally sent Lin Xiao out, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw Yang Zhen standing at the gate with a dark face and a court dress.

Yang Mu asked in surprise, "Where is father going?"

Didn't you say you were banned for a month?
Yang Zhen said with a bad expression: "The palace summons!"

He glanced at Lin Xiao who was greeting him with his hands together, and said, "Let's enter the palace together, there is a plague in the south."

Lin Xiao's expression changed, "Plague?"

Yang Zhen said: "The local officials did not report it. If it weren't for a few people risking their lives to come to Beijing to report, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, a young servant came over with a horse.

Yang Zhen stopped talking and got on his horse.

Lin Xiao immediately chased after him on horseback.

It wasn't until Yang Zhen returned home late at night that Yang Mu knew what was going on.

After Yang Zhen returned to the mansion, he sent an order to the mansion that there was no need to go out.

Yang Mu went to see Yang Zhen, and Yang Zhen told her about the affairs in the palace.

It turned out that after the floods in the south, plague broke out in some villages. After a private doctor reported it, the county magistrate was afraid of affecting his political performance, so he suppressed the report and asked the doctor to treat it.

Unexpectedly, the epidemic was so dangerous that it expanded rapidly.

The local officials simply sealed off several villages, leaving the villagers to fend for themselves.

It was originally kept secret, but a few villagers ran out and went to the government office to file a complaint.

The government office and the county magistrate were protecting each other. Not only did they not hold the county magistrate accountable, they even imprisoned the villagers who complained.

Unexpectedly, these villagers carried the plague and infected other prisoners and guards, and the plague spread throughout the government office.

Then this incident got out, and three scholars risked their lives to come to the capital to sue the imperial court and beat the Dengwen drum, which alarmed the palace.

Yang Mu asked: "Is there something different in the capital?"

Yang Zhen said: "Not yet, and I don't know whether these three scholars are carrying the plague, so it is the best way not to go out for the time being."

Yang Mu asked again: "Do you know how it got infected?"

Yang Zhen recalled what the imperial physician said, "It seems to be passed down through mouth and nose."

Yang Mu was startled, this is the most terrifying way of spreading!

After returning to Furong Island from Duobaoyuan, Yang Mu drew the appearance of the mask, and then asked a few handy maids to make masks out of fine cotton cloth.

After the finished product was finished, Yang Mu asked someone to send it to the embroidery room, and asked the embroiderers to watch it and hurry up to make it.

When Tang heard about this, he hurriedly ordered that all the girls in the Yang family who knew how to sew must make masks by hand, making sure to make one for each of them.

Yang Mu corrected, "Mother, you can only wear it once."

Tang is a little embarrassed, this is a thirteen-layer muslin mask, and it takes two or three hours to make one!

But when she saw the firmness in Yang Mu's eyes, she could only sigh and follow her daughter's advice.

A batch of masks was quickly produced, and everyone in the Yang family got one.

Yang Mu also ordered someone to give some to Lin Xiao, explaining how to use it.

Cao Mudan and Wu Dawan in the front yard originally didn't like to wear them because they felt airtight.

But Yang Mu repeated his orders, and the two had no choice but to put on masks.

But some people are not so obedient.

When Tang went to Jingfuyuan to deliver masks, Chen was chatting with Sheng's family, Chen Yuhe, and Sheng Jiaojiao.

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the autumn-colored mask, and rolled her eyes, what kind of crap, it doesn't even embroider a single flower, so you have the nerve to give it away?

She threw it away casually and handed it to the maid.

Chen didn't even glance at it, and didn't even bother to reach out to take it.

Several people from the second room took it over and said a few sour words, obviously not planning to wear it.

Chen Yuhe also refused at first, but after thinking of something, she obediently put it on in the end.

Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at Chen Yuhe, feeling even more disdainful towards him.
