Chapter 2133

The assassin's mansion is much larger than the county government, and the official residence behind it is naturally larger than the backyard of the county government.

It was more than enough for so many people in the Niu family to live in the assassin's residence. When they came to Yang Heshu, they were naturally more affluent.

Qi Ge'er is still young, so he lives in the main courtyard with his parents. Only the main courtyard of the assassin's mansion is occupied by the master, and the other courtyards are empty.

This time when Zhou man and his family came, Cui simply picked up two yards for Bai Shan and his family, while man Bao and Zhou Liru lived in a small yard on the other side and were separated from their two yards.

There were personal belongings on their carriages, and the luggage carts were sent to the post station.

Cui Shi also prepared a lot of things for them. As soon as man Bao arrived in the room, a girl brought clean clothes and bath water.

So man Bao took a good shower. When she yawned and came out of the bath bucket sleepily, Cui arranged to sit and wait in the outer room.

She came out wet with only her inner clothes and hair. Cui quickly said to the girl, "wipe her hair dry."

Immediately a girl came forward to serve, and a girl took a coat and put it on her.

Man Bao sat cross legged on the couch and let them do it. He yawned and tears were coming out. "How did sister-in-law Xue come here?"

Cui Shi said with a smile, "come and see how you are. I was worried that you would lose weight on the road. Who knows, it seems that you have brought back some."

Zhou man had been in xiazhou for nearly four months before. She lost a lot of weight and lost most of the baby fat on her face. But after two months, she became fat again.

Man Bao subconsciously touched his waist. Fortunately, fortunately, although it was still meat, it was still his waist.

She said, "after I went back, I lived outside the palace for some time. I could eat the food cooked by my sister-in-law every day. She stewed a lot of soup for me."

Soup is very nourishing.

Cui reached out and pinched her cheek and said, "it's better to be fat. I was too thin before." It hurts to look at it.

Cui Shi is closer to Zhou man than before. Man Bao naturally feels it. She smiles and droops her eyelids to sleep.

Cui Shi saw that she was sleepy and guessed that she should be smoked by hot water.

On the road, even if they don't worry about eating and drinking, it won't be convenient for them to wash and gargle. Cheng Leng had walked for 19 days from the capital to xiazhou. I'm afraid they didn't wash and gargle well.

So Cui looked at the girls and winked at them.

Soon a girl took the quilt up, spread a layer on the wooden couch and let man Bao lean on the soft pillow.

Man Bao's eyelids drooped as soon as he leaned down.

Cui sat for a while. Hearing her long breathing, he knew she was asleep, so he got up and left.

Like her, many people slept after a comfortable bath. Mr. Zhuang was in good spirits. After the bath, he sat in the yard in the sun and waited for Yang Heshu.

Yang Heshu was busy until noon. When he returned to the backyard, man Bao and they had been sleeping for more than half an hour.

Cui poured him a cup of tea and said, "I think they are very sleepy, so they didn't let the kitchen do it until they wake up."

Yang Heshu nodded, "OK."

Cui Shi: "but Mr. Zhuang didn't sleep. He is now basking in the sun in the yard."

Yang Heshu got up, "send some lunch. I'll go to dinner with my husband and talk by the way."

Cui answered and asked someone to make them something they liked to eat and send it to them.

Mr. Zhuang is trying to find out about the grassland with Yang Heshu.

Even a small broken station knows that it is difficult to live on the grassland this year. Xiazhou, where half of the jurisdiction is grassland, naturally knows better.

Yang Heshu said: "smallpox is the most serious in xiazhou City, but some people spread it to the grassland. There is a vast and sparsely populated area, which is not easy to infect, but it is even harder to control the disease."

He said: "once some tribes are infected, the whole tribe is infected. There is not much medicine. It is basically a disaster of extermination. Therefore, the days on the grassland this year are also a little difficult."

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help asking, "did the disease pass from xiazhou?"

Yang Heshu nodded, "I investigated. The first case was indeed Hu Ji. She got sick after she entered xiazhou City, but..."

He gathered his eyebrows and said, "after I knew there was smallpox, I began to control the outflow of people, because there were few doctors and medicine in the north, and fewer people ran there. The reason why the disease spread was because some herdsmen came to xiazhou city and accidentally got sick. However, I heard from western merchants who came from Yizhou recently that there were also people suffering from smallpox on the grassland there."

Mr. Zhuang learned more from man Bao. He said, "someone reported the matter to Tai hospital. Man Bao suspected that smallpox occurred in both places at the same time."

After a pause, Mr. Zhuang asked, "I don't know what people on the grassland think about this at this time? To the Han people in xiazhou... "

Yang Heshu said: "they think smallpox is the punishment of heaven, the punishment for their bad deeds."

He frowned and said, "although he didn't hate the Han people, several people died on the grassland for sacrifice."

Mr. Zhuang didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he asked, "what's the situation now?"

"It's all over. The imperial court previously sent medicinal materials to all tribes and scattered people on the grassland three times, all of which were prepared according to the prescriptions of the Tai hospital, but there are few doctors there, and the smallpox on the grassland seems more vicious, and the survival rate is only 30%

Yang Heshu said: "now the most important thing on the grassland is not smallpox, but snow disaster."

He said: "xiazhou is fine. Yizhou, including Suzhou, had another snow some time ago."

Mr. Zhuang calculated the time, "how?"

Yang Heshu nodded. "The weather is bad this year, so the herdsmen on the grassland are more difficult. Therefore, they believe that this is heaven's punishment."

Mr. Zhuang stopped talking.

Yang Heshu can only remind, "Sir, be careful this trip. Bai Shan, they are young in the end. They should be well restrained so as not to bring disaster out of the mouth."

Yang Heshu doesn't believe in God and Buddha. He knows that Bai Shan believes in Taoism, but he doesn't believe in sacrifice.

Several young people are young and impulsive. They go to the grassland. If they encounter such a thing carelessly, they are afraid they will not stand aside. It will be bad if there is an accident at that time.

The grassland is different from the Central Plains. The imperial court basically has little control over the places north of Fengzhou and west of Liangzhou. These places belong to border towns. Officials basically only care about the Han people in the city, and it is difficult to govern the herdsmen on the grassland.

If they had a conflict with the herdsmen, the officials on the side of the imperial court would not have so much face.

Herdsmen mostly listen to the tribes, and the tribes basically don't listen to the officials of the imperial court.

Mr. Zhuang nodded seriously, and his calm face understood.

When man Bao woke up, it was already half an afternoon. Yang Heshu returned to the front to deal with his business. Even Mr. Zhuang had a rest and sat down on the porch to read.

Six teenagers went out feeling their stomachs and felt so hungry.
