Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 113

Lin Yuan was still concentrating on thinking, when suddenly she heard a loud noise outside, and seemed to hear Gu's mother's voice, thinking that it was a matter of the inner courtyard, she had already finished asking Mingyan and Mingxing, so she dismissed it They went back and asked Bisha to see what was going on outside.

Bisha came back after a while, Lin Yuan heard correctly, Mama Gu was indeed outside, so she will come back with Bisha.Behind Bisha and Gu's mother, a little girl was being escorted.

The little girl is not very old, she looks about thirteen or fourteen years old.Dressed as a servant, there was no trace of cowardice on his face, but his face was full of dissatisfaction, and his face was also a little red.

"What's going on?" Lin Yuan frowned and asked Mother Gu.

Mother Gu stood with her head bowed respectfully, and answered Lin Yuan's words, "The little girl's hands and feet are not very clean, she stole something, and was caught straight away. I thought it was not a big deal, and the things were found, so I went to the police station to find her." As long as you deal with it and then tell the young lady, there is nothing wrong with it, so I didn't report to the young lady first, but prepared to take him down to deal with it first."

The little girl jumped up immediately when she heard Gu's mother's words, "I didn't steal! I didn't steal anything!" The voice was quite loud, and her little face was flushed because of yelling, and she looked even more serious than before. Not angry.

Lin Yuan took a look at the little girl. She looked pretty and delicate. Although she was not sallow and emaciated, she was not very fair.The body looks a little too thin, but it seems that there is a lot of strength. When struggling, the two big maids can't hold back.She looked at the little girl for a while, then looked away, and asked Mother Gu, "What is it?"

Mother Gu showed Lin Yuan a red gold bracelet and a white magnolia hairpin, and said, "The little girl is just a maid who cleans outside. There is no reason to have these things. I saw a red gold hairpin sticking out of her wrist. The bracelet felt wrong, and she couldn't answer when she asked her, but after a search, she found this hairpin again, if you say it wasn't stolen, I don't know where it came from."

"What's more, if it's really my own, this hairpin can either be worn on the head, or put away properly, and it doesn't seem to be warm in the bosom."

The little girl who jumped earlier only blushed more and more, but she no longer defended herself.

Lin Yuan looked familiar at the white jade orchid hairpin, as if it was given to Bisha by her earlier.

She called Bisha to come over to recognize her. Bisha also looked like her, and went back to her room to search, but couldn't find the hairpin that Lin Yuan gave her earlier.

In this way, things become more and more obvious.

"Are you short of money?" Lin Yuan looked at the little girl and asked her.The little girl didn't speak, and Lin Yuan asked again, "What's your name? Whose girl is it?"

The little girl still didn't answer, so Mama Gu said, "I found out that she is a girl from Chef Liu's family in the kitchen, and her name is Lvya. Chef Liu went out to buy with her a while ago, and she fell ill when she came back. It seems that they haven't come back to work yet."

"Stealing is wrong. There is nothing to argue about. If you don't have the money to treat your mother, you can pay for the treatment first. Since you have made a mistake, you have to follow the rules. You Is there any objection? If you have no objection, after receiving this punishment, I will have someone invite a doctor to give your mother another look."

The little girl lowered her head and said nothing.

Lin Yuan didn't say anything, and turned to ask Mama Gu, "Aside from this cook, is there anyone else who is sick?"

Mother Gu shook her head, said no, and then said after a long while, "There is also a servant girl who is sick. It is the servant girl who burns firewood in the kitchen. She is usually very close to Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu also takes care of her. This Chef Liu fell ill this time, and she often went to take care of her when she was free, but she seemed to be sick yesterday and didn't go to work."

"Did the doctor see it? What did you say? Is anyone else sick? Is there anyone else in Mrs. Liu's house?" Lin Yuan asked the question, and then looked at the little girl, seeing that her expression was still the same. Honghong ordered again, "Try this little girl's head to see if it's hot."

Gu's mother was shocked when she heard that, she hurriedly turned around and touched the little girl's forehead.The little girl hurriedly dodged, but she couldn't really dodge because she was restrained. In the end, she was touched by Gu's mother on the forehead.

This made Gu's mother even more frightened, and hurriedly said to Lin Yuan, "It's hot."

Lin Yuan frowned all of a sudden. It is autumn and winter is approaching, and it is not the humid climate like spring. There are many people who get sick. It is rare for several people to get sick at the same time like this. It cannot be ignored.

"Take her back, don't be in a hurry to punish her. Go and invite the doctor to come and take a look for them, and then see if there are other people in the house who are sick like others. Let's take a look together. What's the matter, hurry up Come back and say."

Lin Yuan repeatedly ordered, and Mama Gu hurriedly asked to take Lv Ya down, and then said to Bi Yi, "Go talk to Ming Yan and Ming Xing, and ask them to check if there are more girls in the capital than usual. The situation that many people get sick together, and whether many people have more contact with each other, such as family members, people who work together, etc., let them check it faster."

Bi Yi responded and hurried away.

Lin Yuan looked at the things put down by Gu's mother, and then told Bisha, "Wrap things in cloth and throw them into boiling water to boil for a quarter of an hour, then pick them up and wrap them in cloth, don't put them in disorder, don't put them aside first." Messed up."

Bisha hurriedly responded, and Lin Yuan went back to her room temporarily, thinking that she would wait for more news before going to tell Zhu Bicong.

Lin Yuan had never encountered it before, but she had read in books that there was an epidemic in the previous dynasty.

Although it was not in the capital city but in other places, but because the discovery was too slow, almost all the people in the city were dead.The imperial court sent a large number of imperial physicians, doctors, and even imperial physicians, but they almost never returned, and very few survived.

It was such a tragic history. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, birth, old age, sickness and death are all irresistible things for ordinary people.

If it happened now, or here, Lin Yuan would hardly dare to think about it.

For a while, the matter of Pingyang Palace was completely ignored by Lin Yuan.

About two quarters of an hour later, Mother Gu came back first, saying that there were still a few people in the house who also had some fevers, but they were not too serious, and they all had more contact with Cook Liu or another sick maid. .

When she replied, she was also afraid in her heart. If she encountered some kind of epidemic disease, it would be really terrifying.

Lin Yuan looked at Mama Gu's restlessness, and she was even more worried, but it was useless to worry, she had to deal with the matter, so she said to Mama Gu, "Let the doctor watch it first, and open it up." The medicine is convenient to take. People who are seriously ill are arranged not to let other people come into contact with them again. Some feverish people are also asked to stay in their own rooms to see the situation, and let the doctor take a look together. Also, do not Others contacted them again."

"Go, it's not necessarily what's going on, and it may not be the worst situation. I'll go and talk to my mother first, so I can prepare in advance."

Gu's mother repeatedly said yes, and felt that this old woman in her forties was not as calm as her young lady in her teens. Thinking about it, he secretly signaled himself to stabilize his mind first, and then quit to work on the following things.

Lin Yuan went to An Rongyuan to talk about the matter with her mother-in-law Zhu Bicong. Zhu Bicong knew more about the horror of the epidemic than Lin Yuan, and immediately took it seriously.She wrote down a lot of things on paper, handed them over to her maid to buy them back, and then said to Lin Yuan, "Don't panic, check the situation first. If you feel uncomfortable in your body, go to the hospital earlier Say, it’s better to call the doctor sooner.”

"Have you made contact with that little girl?"

Lin Yuan shook her head, "I just said a few words at a distance."

Zhu Bicong nodded, and said, "Go back and take a shower, change all the clothes on your body, and drink some medicine to prevent fever. Don't worry, everything will be fine. When the situation outside is clear, let people come I'm here to say something."

Lin Yuan nodded at Zhu Bicong, then went back to Nanxi Courtyard, followed her mother-in-law's advice to get hot water for a bath, changed her clothes, and asked the maids around her to do the same. Especially Gu's mother and those two maids who had touched Lvya.

Due to the incident, Lin Yuan didn't eat much at lunch because of her poor appetite.Usually at this time I have to take a lunch break, but I am not in the mood, and have been anxiously waiting for Mingyan and Mingxing to come back and report the situation.

Two quarters before Shen, Mingyan and Mingxing finally came back, and told Lin Yuan what they had found.

"We asked the doctors in various medical clinics in the city recently, and it is true that more people are sick than at this time of the year. Because Cook Liu got sick after going out to buy, we checked in this direction and found that There are quite a few civilians in the vegetable farm who are sick. Some are serious, some are just ordinary fever, but two of them have already lost their lives. Other people in these two families are very sick."

Lin Yuan's heart sank when she heard this, and after she figured out the situation, she told them to inform Qi Haoran of the situation, and then went to her mother-in-law's place to explain the situation again.Almost certainly something is going on, but it feels worse than no certainty.

The only thing that can be thankful is that the weather will soon cool down, and the spread of the disease will be hindered to some extent.
