The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 92 The epidemic broke out, hoarding food and medicine? (2)
The Chu family is not that big, and there is only a small garden between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard.Ordinarily, during the time she was talking with Jiujiu, that little girl should have been back long ago.

Finally, Mingliu's figure appeared in the rainstorm.

Jiujiu immediately went up to greet her, as she did when she came back, untied Mingliu's coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and wiped the wet hair falling on her forehead with a dry handkerchief.

"How?" Chu Qing asked.

Mingliu shook his head: "Brother Duandao hasn't come back yet, I told Fusu to pay attention, if he comes back, I will inform him to come and see Miss."

Chu Qing nodded slightly, seeing that most of Ming Liu's body was not covered by rain except for his shoes, he turned his eyes away.

"Jiujiu, tell me what you saw outside." Since we can't wait for Duan Dao to bring news from outside the city, we can only see what we can get from Jiujiu.

"Yes, miss." Jiujiu leaned over.Let me tell you about the scenes I saw outside: "There are many roads in the city that are knee-deep in water, and it is difficult for ordinary people to walk. The shops are closed, and there are no merchants. Things have been poured into the city."

Hearing this, Chu Qing stood up suddenly, her quiet eyes were full of seriousness.

Although the rain is pouring down, the weather is hot. If you stay indoors, as long as you don't get wet from the rain, you will feel hot and sweaty.In such weather, if the sewage is poured into the city, if it affects the drinking water of the residents, then...

"Miss, where are you going?" Ming Liu, who had just returned from changing his shoes, saw Chu Qing rushing out without anything, and hurriedly grabbed her.

"Miss!" Jiujiu was also surprised.I don't understand what I said in my words that made my lady react like this.

Chu Qing stopped, knowing that she was in a hurry.She looked at Ming Liu: "Ming Liu, go get me a coir raincoat and cloak, I want to go out."

"Miss, it's raining so much outside, why are you going out?" Ming Liu stopped.

Chu Qing shook her head: "I just went to the main room to find my father."

Hearing that Chu Qing was not leaving the mansion, Ming Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Master has ordered, if you want to find him, you just need to report to him, he will come to see you, lest you get sick in the rain .”

"How can I be so delicate?" Chu Qing was speechless. "Hurry up and get me something to cover the rain, don't resist."

Mingliu had no choice but to go back to the house to get the rain gear, and together with Jiujiu, they wrapped Chuqing tightly.The latter felt helpless, this thick rain cover really made her sweat again.

After the preparations were made, Chu Qing left the wine, and if the knife came back, she would be notified immediately.Taking the famous willow is like leaving the main house where Chu Zhengyang lives.

Passing through the small garden that had been washed and changed by the rain, and feeling the mud under her feet, Chu Qing experienced for herself how difficult it is to walk in the rain.

Soon, the two arrived outside Chu Zhengyang's main room.After the housekeeper reported, Chu Zhengyang rushed out of the room, and said with a face of reproach: "Why are you so disobedient, kid? Didn't you just say that, if you need something to ask me, just send someone to report it, and don't come in person. "

After finishing speaking, he glared at Ming Liu again: "You girl doesn't take good care of Miss, if Miss is injured at all, you have to be careful with your own skin."

"Ming Liu knows his mistake, and I hope the master will not blame him." Ming Liu was a maid of the Chu family, and the deed of prostitution was in the hands of the Li family.Under Chu Zhengyang's scolding, he naturally became afraid.

"Father, don't blame Ming Liu, I'm just impatient and can't wait for my father to come." After removing the rain gear from her body, Chu Qing held onto Chu Zhengyang's arm, brought him back to the house, and gave Ming Liu a wink, and the latter understood , retreated.

"You are so anxious, but what is the rush?" Chu Zhengyang is not a violent person, since Chu Qing is fine, he will not insist on punishing Mingliu.So, he smoothly brought the topic to Chu Qing's intention of coming.

After sitting down with his father, Chu Qing said to his father with a solemn face: "Father knows that the sewage ditch in the city is blocked by silt, and all the sewage is poured into the city. Although Master Liu has sent someone to clear it in time, I am afraid that some of the water has been polluted."

"True words!" Chu Zhengyang was also trapped in the mansion these days, the news at this moment is not as good as Chu Qing who has two masters by his side.

So, after Chu Qing said these words, his expression also changed, and he immediately called the housekeeper.

"Master, Miss." As soon as the butler entered the door, he respectfully saluted the two masters.

Chu Zhengyang was very anxious at this moment, he waved his hand to avoid his salute, and ordered sternly: "From now on, all the water used in the house needs to be boiled before use. If anyone feels unwell, report it immediately."

"Yes, master!" Although he didn't know the reason, the loyal old butler still obeyed.

"Daddy, I'm not only worried about our family's problems. If an epidemic really breaks out in the city, no matter how careful we are, I'm afraid we will be implicated." Chu Qing stood up, walked to his father and said.

Chu Zhengyang's heart shuddered, and he came to his senses.

After such a catastrophe, the possibility of a large-scale plague outbreak is extremely high, and there may be famine along with it.Among them, the most terrible thing is the epidemic. If it cannot be effectively controlled, the imperial court ordered the massacre of the city and burned everything.

Thinking back to when he was young, he once heard that several villages with severe epidemics were burned down by the imperial court. Chu Zhengyang's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his face became pale and blue.

"No, I have to find a way to send your mother and daughter out of the city." Chu Zhengyang grabbed Chu Qing's hand and said eagerly.

"Daddy!" Chu Qing reprimanded lightly, trying to calm down Chu Zhengyang.

This Confucian businessman, even if the Chu family's business is in danger, he is so anxious that he is confused. Why is he so nervous that he can't judge when it comes to the safety of his wife and daughter?
There seemed to be a calming magic power in the clear voice.After she lightly reprimanded him, Chu Zhengyang finally calmed down, but his furrowed brows still showed his anxiety and uneasiness.

"Father, what we are thinking about is not how to leave here. Now that the road is blocked by heavy rain outside, even if we want to leave, it is very difficult. The only thing we can do is to prevent the disaster from coming." Chu Qing said word by word.

Chu Zhengyang looked at her, and heard a general idea from the meaning of her words: "You mean hoarding medicine?"

Chu Qing nodded: "We must hold the hope of surviving in our hands before everyone realizes that the disaster is coming, so that we can have enough initiative, otherwise..."

She didn't say anything later, but the seriousness in her eyes had already reminded Chu Zhengyang.Their Chu family had enemies in Anning, if they were on the passive side, maybe they would be put to death by the Hu family this time.

Chu Zhengyang nodded slowly: "I immediately called the stewards and told them to go to various pharmacies to collect the medicines."
