Blessed Daughter

The twentieth of the first month.

In a flash, more than half of the first month has passed.

And this plague has finally come to an end.

Because of timely control and effective measures, the disease was well controlled, it did not spread from the Taizhou government, and the number of casualties was also controlled.

With the recovery of the last patient, Wei Ruo and others can finally rest.

But they can't go home right away, and they need to stay in the small courtyard for two days to make sure none of them catches the disease.

When he had free time, the first thing Wei Ruo did was to sleep in. He didn't get up until the morning when his stomach was growling with hunger.

Today's meal was not delivered by Madam Yuan from the house, but cooked by Xiumei.

"I cooked some home-cooked dishes for the young master and several doctors, and prepared good wine." Xiumei said.

Nobody drank the first few days, all the alcohol was used to wash hands.

"Is it the good wine brought by your young master?" Dr. Cheng asked hastily.

The wine was really fragrant, but no one thought about it at the time. They all poured the wine on their hands, clothes, and didn't drink a drop.

"Yes. When my young master's wine was used up to the last half of the jar, sister Qingyi knew that we needed baijiu, so she shipped a lot of wine from the magistrate's house, so my young master's half jar was given to me. It's left." Xiumei explained.

"Come, come, let me taste the good wine that your young master treasured!" Dr. Cheng said with a smile, he couldn't wait.

The rest also joined in.

It's not that everyone loves to drink, but it's that after more than 20 days of busy work, the clouds have finally opened and the moon is shining. We need to celebrate, and drinking is to add to the fun.

Everyone sat together with good food and wine, Wei Ruo naturally drank some, but of course he didn't drink too much, he only tasted a few glasses, and was happy with everyone.

Wei Jinyi still hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, and was the only one among the crowd who hadn't touched it.

But he was also infected by the joyful atmosphere of everyone, especially Wei Ruo's, he could feel her smile from the bottom of her heart, that kind of relaxed and joyful.

The appearance of laughing heartily is different from when she faces her family at home.

###

On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, everyone can finally leave the courtyard.

Mr. Yuan sent someone to take the doctors home, while Mrs. Yuan took Wei Ruo to the mansion first, and sent him back to the Colonel's Mansion after grooming and changing clothes.

When sending Wei Ruo to the car, Madam Yuan told Wei Ruo: "I told your family members that you have been helping me arrange all the plague-related affairs at my house these days."

Hearing this, Wei Ruo's heart warmed up. Madam Yuan was helping her. She not only provided a reasonable explanation for her disappearance these days, but also gave Wei Qingruo a credit for her identity.

"Thank you ma'am."

"There is no need to thank you. This is your credit. I just put it another way, and there is no false exaggeration." Madam Yuan said.

Wei Ruo and Mrs. Yuan looked at each other and smiled, Mrs. Yuan said: "Okay, let's go back quickly, I have a few days to recuperate, you see you are tired and thin."

After finishing speaking, Madam Yuan asked the coachman and guards to send Wei Ruo back to Xiaowei's mansion.

Wei Jin also walked with Wei Ruo, but he was not in the open, but followed Wei Ruo's carriage in the dark, and left after the carriage arrived at the gate of Xiaowei's Mansion.

Getting off the carriage, Wei Ruo was a little surprised to see Wei Mingting, Yunshi, Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan standing at the side door.

"Father?" Wei Ruo looked suspiciously at Wei Mingting who came up to him with a smile on his face.

In my impression, Wei Mingting didn't smile often, but today he was smiling.

"Ruo'er, well done! Father is proud of you!" Wei Mingting looked happy, not hiding his pride at all.

Wei Ruo realized that the Yuan family had notified them in advance.

He said, "This is what I should do."

"It's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. To be able to put aside personal life and death in this kind of matter, and give up the small self for the big self, is a show of fearlessness! He is a good boy of my Wei family!" Wei Mingting couldn't hide his joy and pride.

Wei Ruodao: "It's not as exaggerated as what my father said."

Wei Mingting was still smiling, looking at the smile on Wei Ruo's face, he couldn't stop it.

It was Wei Yichen who reminded: "Father, it's cold outside, let the eldest sister come in."

"Yes, go first." Wei Mingting finally came to his senses.

Then everyone went to Cangyun Garden together.

The stove in the room was burning hot. After entering the room, Xiumei took off Wei Ruo's cloak.

After sitting down, several people talked about what happened outside recently.

Under the influence of snow disasters, plagues, food shortages, and multiple disasters, the lives of the people are very miserable.

An official family like the Wei family lived very comfortably during this period, with food and clothing, and even if there were some problems, it was just a small problem like the lack of charcoal fire.

But the people at the bottom face the problem that they can't even eat, or the family is squeezed into the same bed and cannot go out.

Wei Mingting sighed: "This time, tens of thousands of people died in the entire Taizhou Prefecture. Some died of starvation, freezing to death, and some died of illness. The exact number is not available yet. But even so, Taizhou Prefecture may be the capital of several nearby states. The situation in the house is the best."

"Why? Should there be no plague in other state capitals?" Wei Ruo asked.

"There is no plague, but some died of freezing, starvation, and disease. What they got was not the contagious plague like Taizhou Prefecture, but ordinary typhoid fever. If they were not treated in time, they could kill people. On the contrary It is the Taizhou Prefecture, with Master Yuan and Princess Jingmin contributing money and efforts to avoid more casualties, and even those who cannot afford the medicine have been healed."

It is very important to have a good official, and it is good for ordinary officials to serve the people wholeheartedly. Yuan Zhifu also has a wife with strong financial resources. Mrs. Yuan's generosity has benefited the people a lot.

Wei Ruo nodded, so it is understandable.

"The only good news during this period is that the Japanese pirates have not made any moves, allowing our soldiers to recuperate. If they take advantage of this time to attack, there will be internal and external troubles in Taizhou Prefecture, and the consequences are unthinkable." Wei Mingting said.

When Wei Mingting said this, Yun Shi also had lingering fears. In those days, she was always worried that there would be a fight, and she really didn't know what kind of chaos it would be.

Wei Yichen said: "God bless Taizhou Prefecture."

"There is another piece of good news. The Seventh Prince has been found. He is alive and in good health." Wei Mingting said.

The ones who were most surprised by the words were Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan, they didn't even know when the Seventh Prince disappeared.

"Father, what's going on? When did the Seventh Prince disappear? Why hasn't my daughter heard of this before?" Wei Qingwan asked several questions in succession.
