Chapter 213 They all misunderstood
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the medicinal materials were finally available, and the people sent by Mrs. Yuan finally brought back three cartloads of medicinal materials.
After getting the medicine, everyone couldn't help being overjoyed, and then the whole small courtyard wafted a strong smell of medicine.
No one finds the smell pungent and unpleasant, because it represents hope.
Pot after pot of medicine is sent 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 investigate and count the patients from door to door, so as to ensure that no patient was missed.
Because the disease is contagious, if one is missed, there may be endless troubles in the future.
Fortunately, due to heavy snow blocking roads and everyone's fear of the plague, most of the 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, all the dead patients, the government should also send people to deal with them in a unified manner. The corpses, clothes and some personal items worn by the patients before death need to be incinerated in time, and the ashes can be returned to the family members after incineration.
After receiving Wei Ruo's letter, Madam Yuan immediately informed her husband Yuan Zhengqin to arrange the matter.
###
The tenth day of the first month.
Wei Ruo still did not return to Xiaowei's Mansion.
Yun can't bear it any longer at this moment. There is a limit to everything. Even if you are invited by a nobleman to your home for the New Year, you should have a measure. There is no one who stays from before the New Year to the tenth day of the first month without news.
So the Yun family 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 pick Wei Ruo back to his residence in person.
"Mother, the Yuan Mansion is no better than other families. To be prudent, it's better for the child to go there in person."
Send someone to the door to ask for someone. If the matter is not handled properly, it will not be good to leave a bad impression on the Yuan family.
The other party is in a high position, and their Wei family is in a low position. Even in a special period, there is still some respect that should be given, and etiquette must not be lost.
Yun thought about it for a while, and it made sense, but also thought that the situation outside has improved in the past few days, and many people have also started to go out.
said: "Then go straight back, don't stop on the way, take a carriage when you go out, don't ride a horse or walk, so as not to contact people."
"The child knows."
Wei Yichen went out immediately, taking a carriage according to Yun's intention.
And the boy driving in the front also covered half of his face with a face scarf. This is a method spread by 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. Certainly not wrong.
The carriage arrived at the side gate of Yuan Mansion. After Wei Yichen and the guard guarding the gate explained his purpose, the guard asked Wei Jinyi to wait.
After a while, the guard came back with Mrs. Yuan's message.
"You mean, my eldest sister is helping to deal with the plague in the house these days?" Wei Yichen looked surprised.
"Yes, Ms. Wei is making arrangements for all matters related to the plague in the city. It is a big credit for the plague to be contained so quickly now."
Listening to the guard's words, Wei Yichen couldn't help being shocked.
He never imagined that the eldest sister was absent from home these few days because of this! They all misunderstood the eldest sister!
Wei Yichen was still in shock, and the guard continued: "My wife asked me to send a message to Young Master Wei, I hope Young Master Wei will not misunderstand, it was my wife's negligence that I failed to notify the Wei family these few days, and Miss Wei is too busy He doesn't touch the ground, and doesn't even have time to sleep, so he really doesn't care about these things, so he didn't intentionally not notify the people in the Wei Mansion."
"It's not convenient for my wife and Ms. Wei to come out to see Master Wei today, especially Ms. Wei. In order to better arrange her work these days, she has had 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 moved, and said: "I see, if it is convenient, please send a message to my eldest sister, so that she can rest assured that everything is fine at home. Please also take care of herself and take care of herself."
"The little one will bring what Master Wei said to Madam." The guard replied.
Wei Yichen went to see Yun after returning to Xiaowei's Mansion.
At this time, Wei Qingwan was also at Yun's side. Wei Ruo didn't even return home during the Chinese New Year, but Wei Qingwan was always by his side. For Yun, the difference between the two daughters was even greater.
"Did Ruo'er bring it back?" Seeing Wei Yichen, Yun asked hurriedly.
"No." Wei Yichen replied.
"What? She doesn't plan to come back yet? Do you really think Yuan Mansion is her home?" Yun's anger suddenly rose.
Wei Qingwan hurriedly comforted her: "Mother, don't be angry, you have been overworked these days, and your body is already losing money. Getting angry is not good for you."
Yun said angrily: "If Ruo'er is half as caring as you, I won't be angry!"
Wei Yichen hurriedly explained: "Mother, the eldest sister is not a guest at Yuan's house, but is running around about the plague! Nowadays, the elder sister is responsible for all the arrangements related to the plague in the city. In order to help everyone, the eldest sister even unavoidable If you come into contact with a sick person, you will not be able to go home!"
"What did you say?" Yun's eyes widened in surprise.
Wei Qingwan on the side also showed an expression of disbelief.
"The servants of the Yuan family told me on behalf of Mrs. Yuan that the eldest sister has been busy with the plague since the age of 30. In order to save people, the eldest sister hardly slept well." Wei Yichen told the truth.
Yun still couldn't believe it: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Ruo'er is busy with such a big deal? Plague is a big deal! She's a girl..."
"This is what Mrs. Yuan sent someone to pass on. There is no mistake. If not, how could Mrs. Yuan attribute such great credit to the elder sister?" Wei Yichen said.
Controlling the plague is no small matter, even if it falls on Mr. Yuan, it is a great achievement.
Hearing this, Yun's anger dissipated immediately, and was replaced by worry: "Will she be infected?"
"It's possible. Mother knows it's a plague, and it's contagious if you touch it. The eldest sister is risking her life to do something." Wei Yichen replied.
"This child, why did he run 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?"
