Chapter 212 No matter how expensive it is, life is not as precious.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the sun shines brightly, the temperature rises slightly, and the snow finally begins to melt, as if indicating that the haze hanging over Taizhou Prefecture is beginning to dissipate.
Many people's doors are still closed, and the same is true for Xiaowei's Mansion.
But the Wei family also received good news. Wei Mingting sent someone to deliver the news.
In the letter, he told his wife that everything was fine at home and that no one in the army was sick, so that his wife and children could rest assured.
Moreover, the Japanese pirates have not moved in the past few days, which is good news among the many bad news in Taizhou Prefecture.
After finally receiving the news that her husband was safe and sound, Yun breathed a huge sigh of relief, and her anxious heart temporarily dropped.
"God bless, your father is fine and everything is fine." After dinner, Yun happily told Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan the news.
Wei Yichen was very happy, and then asked about Wei Ruo's news: "Mom, is there any news about my eldest sister?"
Yun's face darkened slightly, and the joy on her face faded slightly: "There is no news, I guess I am already too happy to miss Shu. Those who don't know think that She and Mrs. Yuan are the same family."
There was anger and bitterness in his tone.
After all, she is her own daughter, a piece of flesh that has fallen off her body. How can she not make her, a mother, sad when she treats her like this during the Chinese New Year?
Feeling Yun's anger, Wei Yichen didn't know how to comfort him.
It would really be unreasonable to stay away from home from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day.
No matter how busy his father was, he wrote letters to his family, but the eldest sister was in the Yuan Mansion and didn't even bring any news to his family.
"Mom, I plan to go to the prefect's house soon to pick up my eldest sister," Wei Yichen said.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan hurriedly said worriedly: "Brother, I heard that the plague is still very serious outside. It will be dangerous for you to go out rashly now."
Mrs. Yun didn't agree with Wei Yichen's move either: "Your sister is right. Even if this matter needs to be done, it is better to let the servants of the government do it. You can just stay at home and study to prepare for this year's provincial examination." Wei Yichen said: "
Prefect The Yamen's control is pretty good, so I guess it won't be so serious. Besides, I don't stay on the road when I go out. I go directly to the prefect's house, so there shouldn't be much of a problem." "
If the eldest brother insists on going, then let me go in his stead. Well." Wei Qingwan volunteered, "It doesn't matter even if I'm sick, but my eldest brother is different. He will take the provincial examination this year, so there can't be any mistakes." Looking at Wei Qingwan's worried eyes, Wei Yichen hesitated a little
. .
He didn't think it mattered, but it was really not good for his mother and sister to worry about him so much.
After thinking about it, Wei Yichen gave up the idea of picking up Wei Ruo: "Well, I won't go for the time being. I think it's safe for my eldest sister to stay in the prefect's house now." He gave up the matter for the time being
.

In the small courtyard, Wei Ruo found Wei Jinyi after finishing his work for a while.
"Second brother, I need your help with something. Can you go back to the captain's house and help me get some wine?" Wei Ruo said to Wei Jin.
"What do you want wine for?" Wei Jin also asked.
"Cleaning with strong alcohol is a way to prevent infection. I also have six jars of white wine in the warehouse in the house. It is strong alcohol and is particularly effective." Wei Ruo explained.
Although the alcohol content of those wines does not reach 75%, it is still in the 40s and 50s. Used ones are better than useless.
Xiumei knows where the things are stored, but Xiumei is a maid. It will be troublesome for her to come out after returning home, and she may be stopped.
So Wei Ruo could only ask Wei Jinyi for help. "Okay." Wei Jin also agreed.
Then Wei Ruo gave the key to her small warehouse to Wei Jinyi: "This is the key. The wine is placed in the corner on the right after entering the door. The jar has red paper on it. In addition, when you go home, Try not to have contact with people.”
Wei Jinyi stared at the key in his hand for two seconds, then nodded: "I know."
Wei Jinyi took the key and set off to help Wei Ruo get the wine.
Wei Jin also climbed over the wall when he left the mansion without letting anyone in the mansion know. He also climbed over the wall when he returned to the mansion without alerting the guards in the mansion.
Seeing Wei Jin also come back, Xiaobei went up to him excitedly: "Master, you're back. You haven't been here for the past few days. I'm really worried that my secret has been exposed." Fortunately, their wife didn't want to see the young master, and he didn't come back
. , as a result, no one came specifically to see their young master during the Chinese New Year, so they were able to get away with it.
However, Wei Jin also avoided him and kept a distance of more than six or seven feet from him.
"I'll take the things and leave. You continue to stay in the house. If you can, you can cover up. If you can't, it doesn't matter if you reveal your secret." Wei Jinyi was not worried about being discovered by the people in the house when he sneaked out of the house.
If it wasn't discovered, it would be one less thing to worry about, and if it was discovered, it wouldn't be a big problem for him.
After saying that, Wei Jin turned over and crossed the three walls to listen to Songyuan.
"Master..." Xiaobei only had time to call out "Master" before he disappeared.
Xiaobei sighed helplessly: "Hey, I want to say that since you are not afraid of being discovered, you might as well take me with you, and I can also help Miss Xiumei."
Wei Jin also removed all the six jars of wine from Wei Ruo next door. Moved out of the warehouse.
It would be difficult to hold six jars of wine directly with your hands. Wei Jin also found straw ropes and after some weaving, tied several jars together so that he could lift six jars of wine at once. .
Even with the weight of six jars of wine on his body, Wei Jin was still able to leave quietly without being discovered by the guards in the mansion.
Wei Jin also successfully transported the wine to the small courtyard where Wei Ruo and the others worked and lived. Wei Ruo told Doctor Cheng and others to use the wine to wash their hands and spray all over their bodies every day when they came back.
The method of disinfecting with wine has been around for a long time, and doctors all know it.
However, the generally used rice wine is turbid rice wine. Seeing that the wine Wei Ruo sent was not only clear, but also had a strong aroma. It looked like expensive white wine.
"Young Master Xu, this wine of yours costs a lot of money. Isn't it appropriate to just take it out for us to wash our hands with?" Doctor Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"The stronger the wine, the better the effect. Although the wine is valuable, our lives are more valuable." Wei Ruo replied.
If Wei loves money no matter how much he loves money, he will never equate money with life.
Which one is light and which one is serious, she knows very clearly.
"It is true that strong alcohol is the best way to disinfect. But Mr. Xu is so generous that we really admire him." Dr. Cheng said with emotion.
"Don't worry about it. As long as you can save your life now, whether it's money or wine, you will have it in the future." Wei Ruodao.
Everyone nodded.
In the past few days, they have been amazed by Wei Ruo's words and deeds more than once.
Everyone had nothing to say, they could only hide their gratitude and admiration in their hearts, and thank you later when they have the opportunity.
