Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 586

"Grandmother's health has been dying for a long time, but she doesn't worry about us. Every time she sends a message to say yes, she is actually lingering sick. Hearing the news of Guoguo's birth, she relaxes her mind and leaves within two days. Before she leaves, she closes her eyes and tells... The full moon gift prepared by Mother Jiang for Guoguo..."

Guan Yuanhe said that his voice was choked with sobs. He just received a full moon gift for Guoguo from Jiangyang the day before yesterday. The old lady gave a set of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, a set of jade longevity locks, bracelets, necklaces, and bells. The sets were all brought by Guan Yuanhe when he was a child. At that time, Hui'an also said that when he returned from the border, he would take Guoguo and Guan Yuanhe to see his grandmother, but he didn't want Mrs. Dingguo to be gone by then...

There was a burst of sadness, with only two lines of tears remaining, she could not comfort Guan Yuanhe, she could only hug him and absorb the warmth from each other, without saying a word all night.After such a thing happened, Guan Yuanhe would have Ding You keep the rules, so Guan Yuanhe didn't say that he would go back to the border. The next day he set off for Jiangyang, but all the affairs of the capital were handed over to Hui'an.

Huian was busy dealing with loss just after she was confinement, a mourning hall was set up in the Guan Mansion, Mrs. Dingguo was of great status, she was the emperor's aunt, and even the emperor had to fast and bathe for three days to see her off, so the officials didn't need to say anything In the past few days, the gates of Guanfu were full of horse-drawn carriages from various prefectures who came to express their condolences.

Thinking that the house was full of jubilation the day before, and the next day it was full of cries, everyone sighed that the world is impermanent, but in the Dahui custom, it is a good thing for the elderly to celebrate and mourn, of course, if it is not happy If there is a funeral, the child will inevitably be killed by suspicion.

Mrs. Dingguo was old and passed away from illness, so it was a joyous funeral, and those who came to express their condolences could not help comforting Hui'an with a few words.

Since Mrs. Dingguo's coffin was not in the capital, nor was the funeral held here, the mourning hall was closed after seven days, but it was nearly a month after Guan Yuanhe returned to Beijing.

At that time, the capital was already hot in summer, and the horse plague at the Border Pass also spread rapidly as the weather got warmer. In the last month, more than 1 war horses died of illness. The Border Pass had never had a shortage of commanders, and it was already popular. Floating and wanting to plague, there was almost a riot, and Qiabeihu Khan Erlun raided the pass when the morale of the army was unstable, burned and killed them, and walked away.When he entered the court, Emperor Xiankang was furious, and the ministers had been trembling for many days, not daring to take a wrong step.

On the day Guan Yuanhe returned to Beijing, he was announced to enter the palace overnight. The next day, the emperor's decree was sent to Dongtinghou's mansion. Fight against Beihu.

This time Guan Yuanhe left in a hurry, and when he received the order, he told Hui'an to pack up his luggage, and just took a group of relatives and went straight out of the north gate, and Hui'an thought about going out of Beijing immediately, so he didn't feel any sadness of parting. Hurriedly sent Guan Yuanhe away, Hui'an didn't delay any longer, and explained everything in the mansion. The next day, he put on his official uniform and went straight to Taipu Temple.

The atmosphere in the Taipu Temple was much more depressing than last time. Last time Hui An came, the elders were still discussing whether to delay the horse transport to the south because of the border horse disease. Now the border horse disease has not improved, but has turned into a It is unknown how many war horses will die, and whether it will spread to adult plague. The emperor has been angry with the ministers of the Taipu Temple many times, accusing the Taipu Temple of not doing anything.The adults harbored grievances in their hearts, but they had nowhere to vent their frustration.God knows that as early as a month ago, Master Yun had led some of the most outstanding veterinarians from Taipu Temple to the border. Who knows why the horse plague did not recur.

In this year and month, no matter the people or the officials, the fear of the plague is common, which cannot be described in words.As soon as the plague came, ten houses were empty, starvation was everywhere, and families were destroyed. This is not a joke, let alone an exaggeration. The plague is not only for the poor, but also merciless for the rich. The entire ruling and opposition parties, and even the entire Dahui were cast in a layer of gloom.These days, the capital has already seen a lot of big refugees coming from the north, people are in panic, and Hui'an knows that the Taipu Temple is so quiet and oppressive.

There were no more chattering officials at the gate of the mansion, so Hui An entered the official office by himself, and when he opened the door, he saw Lord Gou staying alone in the room with the windows closed, and he was burying his head in the papers and flipping through something desolately.

Hearing the movement, he didn't lift his head, but said in a deep voice, "I'll look for it again, but if there is a book that mentions the plague, I will bring it here."

Hui An raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and took two steps forward to lift the kettle on the charcoal stove, and quietly stepped forward to add water to Mr. Gou's teacup, and Mr. Gou looked up in surprise.

Hui'an hurriedly smiled and said, "Your officer has disturbed your lord."

Mr. Gou was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Seeing that it was Hui An, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Shen is here to say something about the horse plague?"

Hui'an is a junior official of the seventh rank. According to the Dahui calendar, only officials of the fifth rank and above can directly hand over the papers to the holy hearing. It's like Taipu Temple.

Master Gou spoke out, but felt that his emotions were too revealing, which would damage his image and the face of the officials of the Taipu Temple, so he coughed lightly, picked up the teacup and lifted the lid.

Hui'an smiled, without going around in circles, directly took out the written booklet from his sleeve, offered it with both hands, and said: "This is the ten measures written by the lower official to control the spread of horse plague. Please give me your instructions."

Lord Gou has seen Hui An's ability twice, and has placed high hopes on her. Now he is devastated, and seeing Hui An's arrival is like nectar. Hearing this, he hastily opened the memorabilia, read it carefully, and without saying much, got up and said: "Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. A delay of one day in this horse plague will be a catastrophe. I will now enter the palace and present the papers to the emperor for reading. Mr. Shen waits for his summons."

He left in a hurry without waiting for Hui'an to say more, and now he is a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If he can recommend someone, no matter whether Hui'an has the ability to stop the spread of horse plague, this meeting can temporarily calm the anger of the emperor.

Hui An didn't wait long, and Emperor Xian Kang summoned her in the Hall of Mental Cultivation an hour later. She had been here three times, but this was the first time she had an audience with the emperor in the name of an official.I don't know that Hui'an looked up at the high steps of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but Hui'an felt a sense of solemn awe, which was a feeling that he hadn't noticed the last few times.
