Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 66

In the next few days, Qiuhuhu was in full bloom, Youran only ran around the town at home and at two o'clock, but didn't go to the clinic again.

Recently, for some reason, it seems that there is a flu, and more people come to the town to see a doctor.

Symptoms are mostly cough, sore throat, and general weakness. They should be wind-heat and cold, and the medical center must be very busy.

As for how Youran knew, of course it was the customers who came to the stall to buy herbal tea. After many sick people came to buy herbal tea, they all said that their throat felt better after drinking their herbal tea.

Coupled with the hotter weather recently, the business at their stall is not so good. Now they can sell three boxes of herbal tea and two boxes of grass jelly a day.

Worried about getting infected, Leisurely washed all the used bowls, chopsticks and bamboo tubes with hot water, borrowed the stove from the bun shop next door, and paid for some firewood.

"Hey, I didn't say that, why are there more and more people coming to rest in our town? There were not so many people at this time in previous years." Liu Shi walked to Youran with a stack of washed dishes in his hands and said.

Leisurely listened to Liu Shi's words, but her eyes fell on the tall and mighty horses. There are indeed a lot more people in the town recently, and I don't know why.

"I'll find out if I go and ask." Lin Li raised his eyebrows and motioned them to look at a young boy coming here.

Mrs. Liu saw that the man was just a boy who came here frequently these days, and he was also the servant of one of these nobles, because he also caught a cold, so he came here diligently, and he was more or less familiar, so it happened to be from him. To explore the situation, Liu Shi nodded to Lin Li.

You Ran also thought it was feasible, and suddenly a guest came first and asked for a bowl of grass jelly, she quickly filled a bowl of grass jelly from the wooden box and handed it to Liu Shi, and made a mouth to Lin Li Tell him to be careful.

Liu quickly sent it to the table.

Lin Li nodded to show that he understood, and immediately went to meet the boy: "Hey, brother is here? Come on, please come inside."

"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."

"Oh, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Li greeted him with a smile on his face, the man wanted to reply, but he coughed non-stop before he could speak, so he could only wave his hands to give up.

"I see you've been sick for three or four days, right? Why didn't you get better?" Lin Li continued to ask with concern.

"Cough cough..." The man coughed a few more times, and finally calmed down, but he rubbed his chest and said with a sad face: "Isn't it? It's not just three or four days, cough... I fell ill when I was in Yichuan. I've also seen the doctor, but it didn't get better, but it got worse...cough cough..."

"Come on, don't be in a hurry, drink tea to moisten your throat first." After greeting the other guests, Mrs. Liu hurriedly came over with herbal tea and handed it to this young man.

Leisurely was scooping herbal tea and Shengxian grass jelly for the new guests, while paying attention to the movement here.

"Cough...thank you, sister-in-law." The boy thanked her with a moved face, and then took a sip of herbal tea, feeling that his throat was much more comfortable.

"Well, let me tell you, your medical skills are really good. Although I still have a cough now, after the doctor's treatment, I feel much better. I even feel comfortable drinking the tea from the tea stand on the street. "

"Look at what you said, our small place can't compare to the one in your city." Liu Shi deliberately joked, and silently brought the topic to this side.

"In the city? Hehe." The boy suddenly remembered something, and laughed mockingly: "If I can't help myself, I would rather live an ordinary life in the countryside."

"Why do you think so, little brother?" Seeing something interesting, Lin Li hurriedly asked.

But the boy kept silent.

"I just saw my brother talking about Yanchuan, but it's a long way from here. I don't know where I come from? Where are you going?" Seeing that he didn't mention it, Mrs. Liu asked impatiently.

Leisurely heard that the secret passage was terrible!The two of them were too impatient, and were about to open their mouths to make a rescue, but unexpectedly the young man went to speak first.

"Cough...I know what you want to ask? I must be coughing...You are also wondering why there are more and more pedestrians these days, right." The boy raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them and smiled.

After all, he was in the big family, and how could those devious ways be able to hide it from him who is so smart.

"This..." After being told, Liu Shi looked embarrassed, and Lin Li also looked embarrassed.

"Yes, if my brother knows, can you tell me one or two?" You Ran scooped up another cup of herbal tea, walked over, placed it in front of the servant and said calmly.

"It's better for people to be confused sometimes," the boy said with a smile, "But it won't take long, and you will know more or less, but it doesn't hurt to know in advance..."

The boy paused for a moment, took another sip of tea to suppress his cough, and then spoke slowly.

"If we want to talk about this, we have to start with the floods in Luocheng. There are big rivers around Luozhou, and the imperial court ordered people to build dams a few years ago.

However, because the officials in charge of this matter were greedy for money, the materials used for the dam were unclear. It rained heavily some time ago, and the water level in the river rose sharply, which broke the dam and flooded into the villages.

But the official knew that he had committed a felony, but actually covered up the facts and blocked the news.

The villagers who narrowly escaped from the dead were displaced, not to mention that there was no food left, and the officials did nothing. People were furious and planned to sue. Unexpectedly, the officials found out and beat many people to death.

Only the boy slipped out, intending to go all the way to Beijing to sue the imperial court, but he was exhausted and just passed out in front of the prince's carriage.

When the prince by mistake learned of this, he hurried to Luozhou. After confirming the incident, he collected evidence of the crime and returned to Beijing to report to the Holy Majesty. Only then was the viciousness of this official exposed.

Today's holy majesty was furious when he learned about it, and ordered the prince to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Unexpectedly, a faction of the dark party was implicated, intending to rebel. Fortunately, the power has not yet formed, otherwise Huaguo would be in jeopardy.

The Holy Majesty was furious when he heard the words, and ordered that all those involved with the dark party be punished!

In those days in the capital, the blood on the execution ground could not be washed clean, and the smell of blood was wafting all over the capital, and everyone was in danger.

Then they broke up all the officials' powers and redistributed the official positions. No, they dragged their families and rushed to the new place before winter, didn't they? "

After the little servant stumbled and finished speaking, he saw Lin Li's stiff face and Liu Shi's pale face when he heard that the bloodbath on the execution ground could not be washed clean, and he couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, these things won't implicate you guys. It’s good for common people.”

"What's the benefit?" You Ran came back to her senses and asked, but found that her palms were already covered with cold sweat. It was the first time she really felt the power of the emperor and the dangers of the officialdom. Fortunately, they were just common people... Fortunately...

You Ran doesn't expect any glory, wealth, good food and clothing, she just hopes that Lin Fansheng and herself can support each other and live this life safely.

"Of course it is beneficial. Think about it, after this big reshuffle, those people will definitely live in peace for a long time, and your life should be easier." People, you must attach great importance to next year's scientific examination. If you have relatives who are preparing for the examination, if you pass the examination and enter the officialdom, isn't it like a fish in water? If you are selected by the Holy One again, your future is boundless!"

"Our ordinary farmers can't afford to support scholars, we just have food and clothing." Liu Shi finally recovered, and reluctantly said with a pale face.

This officialdom is so complicated, one wrong step, one wrong step, and the nine clans will be implicated, she will not dare to let her children go down this road in the future.

Youran suddenly thought of Shen Xia's child, Liang Kuan, isn't he just preparing for the exam?This news still needs to be told to Aunt Shen.
