Chapter 212: no matter how expensive life is

Chapter 212 No matter how expensive, life is not expensive

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the sun was shining brightly, the temperature rose slightly, and the snow finally began to melt, which seemed to indicate that the haze over Taizhou Prefecture began to dissipate.

Many houses are still closed, and so is the Xiaowei Mansion.

But the Wei family also received good news, it was Wei Mingting who sent someone to bring the news back.

In his letter, he told his family that everything was fine, and that there were no sick people in the army, so he reassured his wife and children.

And the Japanese pirates have not changed in the past few days, which is good news among the many bad news in Taizhou Prefecture.

Finally received the news that her husband was safe and sound, Yun Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and temporarily let down her hanging heart.

"God bless, your father is fine, everything is fine." After dinner, Yun's happily told Wei Yichen, Wei Qingwan and the others the news.

Wei Yichen was very happy, and then asked about Wei Ruo's news: "Does mother have any news about the eldest sister?"

Yun's face darkened slightly, and the joy on his face faded a little: "There is no news, I guess I am already too happy to leave, and those who don't know think she and Mrs. Yuan are a family."

There is annoyance and bitterness in the tone.

After all, it is my daughter, a piece of flesh that fell off from my body, how can I not make her, a mother, sad.

Feeling Yun's anger, Wei Yichen didn't know how to comfort him.

From New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the New Year, if you don't go home all the time, it's really unreasonable.

Father wrote letters to his family no matter how busy he was, but the eldest sister didn't even bring any news to her family while she was in the Yuan Mansion.

"Mother, I plan to go to the magistrate's mansion 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 severe outside, and it will be dangerous for you to go out rashly now."

Yun also didn't approve of Wei Yichen's move: "Your sister is right, even if you have to do this, let the servants from the mansion go, and you can stay at home and study to prepare for this year's provincial examination."

Wei Yichen said: "The magistrate's yamen is well controlled, and it would not be so serious. Besides, I don't stay on the road when I go out, and go directly to the magistrate's mansion. There shouldn't be a big problem."

"If elder brother insists on going, then let me go instead of elder brother." Wei Qingwan volunteered, "It doesn't matter if I'm sick, but elder brother is different. Eldest brother is going to take the township examination this year, so there can't be any mistakes .”

Looking at Wei Qingwan's worried eyes, Wei Yichen hesitated.

He didn't think it was a big deal, but it's really not good to make his mother and sister 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 the eldest sister to stay in the prefect's house now."

This matter will be left for the time being.

In the small courtyard, Wei Ruo found Wei Jinyi after working for a while.

"Second Brother, I need your help with something, can you go back to the Colonel's Mansion and get me some wine." Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also said.

"What do you want wine for?" Wei Jin also asked.

"Washing with spirits is a way to prevent infection. I still have six jars of liquor in the warehouse in the mansion. It is spirits, and the effect is particularly good." Wei Ruo explained.

Although the alcohol content of those wines does not reach 75%, they are still 40 to 50 percent. It is better to use than useless.

So Wei Ruo can only ask Wei Jinyi to help with this.

"Okay." Wei Jin also agreed.

Then Wei Ruo gave Wei Jinyi the key to her small warehouse: "This is the key. The wine is placed in the corner on the right hand side after entering the door, and the jar has red paper on it. In addition, when you go home Try not to come into contact with people."

Wei Jin also stared at the key in his hand for two seconds, then nodded: "Got it."

Wei Jin also took the key and set off to help Wei Ruo fetch wine.

Wei Jin also climbed over the wall when he left the mansion, without letting the people in the mansion know, and he also overturned the wall when he returned to the mansion, and still did not alarm the guards in the mansion.

Seeing Wei Jin also come back, Xiaobei greeted him very excitedly: "Master, you are back. You haven't been here for the past few days. I'm really worried that your secrets will be exposed."

Fortunately, their wives didn't want to see the young master, and the master didn't come back. As a result, no one specially came to find their young master during the Chinese New Year, so they were able to get away with it.

However, Wei Jin also avoided him, keeping a distance of more than six or seven feet from him.

"I'll take my things and leave. You stay in the mansion. Cover if you can. It doesn't matter if you can't cover up." Wei Jin is not worried that the people in the mansion will find out that he sneaked out of the mansion.

If he is not discovered, it will be one less thing, and if he is discovered, it will not be a big problem for him.

After finishing speaking, Wei Jin also turned over and crossed the three walls to Tingsongyuan.

"Master..." Xiaobei only had time to call "Master" before he disappeared.

Xiaobei sighed helplessly: "Hey, I want to say, since you are not afraid of being discovered, why not take me with you, and you can help Miss Xiumei."

Wei Jin also moved all six jars of wine from Wei Ruo next door out of the warehouse.

It is bound to be difficult to hold six jars of wine with your hands. Wei Jin also found a straw rope, and after some weaving, tied several jars together, so that he could lift the 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 noticed by the guards in the palace.

Wei Jin also successfully transported the wine to the small courtyard where Wei Ruo and the others lived and worked. Wei Ruo told Dr. Cheng and others to wash their hands and spray the wine all over their bodies when they came back every day.

The method of disinfecting with alcohol has a long history, and doctors all know it.

It’s just that cloudy rice wine is usually used. Seeing that the wine sent by Wei Ruo is not only clear, but also has a rich aroma, it looks like expensive white wine.

"Master Xu, this wine of yours will sell for a lot of money, so it's not appropriate to just take it out and wash our hands?" Dr. Cheng couldn't help but say.

"The stronger the wine, the better the effect. Although the wine is valuable, our lives are even more valuable." Wei Ruo replied.

No matter how much Wei Ruo loves money, he will not equate money with life.

She is very clear about which is more important.

"This is indeed the truth. Spirits are the best way to disinfect. But Mr. Xu's generosity really admires us." Doctor Cheng said with emotion.

"Don't worry about these, as long as you can save your life now, whether it's money or wine, there will be more in the future." Wei Ruo said.

Everyone nodded.

Over the past few days, they have been amazed by Wei Ruo's words and deeds more than once.

Everyone has nothing to say, they can only hide their gratitude and admiration in their hearts, and thank you again when they have the opportunity.
