Chapter 213 They all misunderstood.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the medicinal materials were finally found. The people sent by Mrs. Yuan finally brought back three large carts of medicinal materials.
After getting the medicine, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then the whole courtyard was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
No one finds this smell pungent and unpleasant, because it represents hope.
Pot after pot of medicine was delivered from the small hospital to each patient's home.
At the same time, Wei Ruo also sent someone to send a letter to Mrs. Yuan again, asking the government to send people to conduct door-to-door surveys and statistics on the patients to ensure that no patient was missed.
Because this disease is contagious, if one person is missed, there may be endless consequences later.
Fortunately, due to the heavy snow and road closures and everyone's fear of the plague, most people in the city chose to stay behind closed doors, thus largely avoiding the large-scale spread of the plague during this period.
In addition, the government office must send people to handle all dead patients in a unified manner. The bodies, as well as the clothes and personal belongings worn by the patients during their lifetime, need to be burned in time, and the ashes after burning can be returned to their families.
After receiving Wei Ruo's letter, Mrs. Yuan immediately informed her husband Yuan Zhengqin to arrange the matter.
###
The tenth day of the first lunar month.
Wei Ruo still hasn't returned to the captain's mansion.
Yun couldn't tolerate it anymore at this moment. There was a limit to everything. Even if you were invited by a noble person to celebrate the New Year at home, you should have a sense of proportion. How could you stay there from before the New Year until the tenth day of the first lunar month without any news.
So Yun planned to send Jing Hu to the Yuan family to inquire about the situation.
After learning about this, Wei Yichen once again asked for orders to personally take Wei Ruo back to his home.
"Mom, the Yuan Mansion is no better than other families. To be cautious, it is better for the child to go there in person." It would be
bad to send someone to the door to ask for someone. If the matter is not handled well, it will leave a bad impression on the Yuan family.
The other party is in a high position, and they, the Wei family, are in a low position. Even in a special period, the due respect must still be shown and etiquette must not be lost.
Yun thought about it for a while and thought about it, and then thought that the situation outside has improved in the past few days, and many people have begun to go out.
He said: "Then you go straight back, don't stop on the way, and take a carriage when you go out. Don't ride a horse or walk, so as not to come into contact with people." "I understand, kid." Wei Yichen immediately went out and followed Yun's
wishes
. , a carriage ride.
The boy driving the car in front also covered half of his face with a scarf. This is a method passed down from the government office. It is said that it can avoid being infected with the plague. Everyone doesn't know the reason for this, but they follow it. There is certainly nothing wrong with that.
The carriage arrived at the side gate of Yuan Mansion. After Wei Yichen explained his intention to the guard guarding the gate, the guard asked Wei Jin to wait.
After a while, the guard came back with a message from Mrs. Yuan.
"Master Wei, I'm sorry. My wife said she was negligent. She was so busy that she forgot to notify the people in the house. In fact, Miss Wei has been helping my wife deal with the plague at the government office these days. Now because of the epidemic, she has not recovered yet. , The people of Taizhou Prefecture can't live without Miss Wei, so they can't go back with Master Wei yet." "
You mean, my eldest sister is helping deal with the plague in the house these days?" Wei Yichen looked surprised.
"Yes, Miss Wei is responsible for arranging all matters related to the plague in the city. Now the plague can be controlled so quickly. Miss Wei takes a lot of credit." Listening to the guard's words, Wei Yichen couldn't help but be shocked.
He never expected that this was the reason why his eldest sister had been away from home these days! They all misunderstood the eldest sister!
Wei Yichen was still in shock. The guard continued: "My wife also asked me to send a message to Master Wei. I hope Master Wei will not misunderstand. It is my wife's negligence that I have not informed the Wei family in the past few days, and Miss Wei is very busy. I don’t touch the ground, and I don’t even have much time to sleep. I really can’t take care of these things, and I didn’t mean not to inform the people in the Wei Mansion.”
"It is not convenient for my wife and Miss Wei to come out to see Master Wei today, especially Miss Wei. In order to better arrange her work these days, she has been in contact with many patients and may be infected at any time. Therefore She can no longer have contact with outsiders until the plague is completely eliminated."
Wei Yichen was deeply touched and said: "I understand. If it is convenient, please send a message to my eldest sister to reassure her that everything is fine at home. Please also take care of her. Take care of yourself."
"The young one will bring Master Wei's words to Madam." the guard replied.
After Wei Yichen returned to Xiaowei's Mansion, he went to see Yun.
At this time, Wei Qingwan was also with the Yun family. Wei Ruolian had not returned home during the New Year, but Wei Qingwan was always with her. For the Yun family, the difference between the two daughters was even greater.
"Did Ruo'er bring it back?" Yun asked quickly when she saw Wei Yichen.
"No." Wei Yichen replied.
"What? She doesn't plan to come back yet? Does she really think that Yuan Mansion is her home?" Yun's anger suddenly rose.
Wei Qingwan hurriedly comforted her: "Mom, don't be angry. You have worked too hard these days and are already in poor health. It's not good for you to be angry." Mrs. Yun said angrily: "If you were half as considerate as me, I wouldn't be so angry.
" Angry!"
Wei Yichen hurriedly explained: "Mom, the eldest sister is not a guest in the Yuan family, but is busy with the plague! Now the eldest sister is responsible for all arrangements related to the plague in the city. In order to help everyone, the eldest sister even We inevitably come into contact with patients, so we can't go home!"
"What did you say?" Yun's eyes widened in surprise.
Wei Qingwan on the side also showed an expression of disbelief.
"A servant of the Yuan Mansion told me on behalf of Mrs. Yuan that my eldest sister has been busy with the plague since New Year's Eve. In order to save people, my eldest sister barely slept well." Wei Yichen told the truth.
Yun still couldn't believe it: "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Ruo'er is actually busy with such a big thing? The plague is a big deal! She is a girl..."
"This is what Mrs. Yuan sent someone to pass on. There is no mistake. If not, how could Mrs. Yuan attribute such a great contribution to the eldest sister?" Wei Yichen said.
Controlling the plague is no small matter, even if it falls on Master Yuan, it is a great achievement.
Hearing this, Yun's anger immediately dissipated and was replaced by worry: "Then Ruo'er, will she be infected?" "It is possible.
Mom also knows that this is a plague, and it will be transmitted through contact. The eldest sister is risking her life to do something." Wei Yichen replied.
"Why did this child run away to do such a dangerous thing without saying a word!" Yun was a little angry, but more worried.
Wei Qingwan was stunned for a while and then asked Wei Yichen: "But why hasn't my sister contacted us for so many days?"
