Chapter 299: Infatuated Gongsun Helan
Chapter 299: The infatuated Gongsun Helan
Many people came inside and outside the Liu Family Manor today.
Starting from noon, there are nearly ten waves, both openly and secretly.
Fang Yiai, Feng Xiaoyi, Cheng Chumo, Li Jihe, and some other waves who were unwilling to come forward. For these people, Liu Yi's attitude was to welcome them openly and not obstruct or interfere in secret. No matter what, it was not a bad thing for these people to come in the rain to their Liu Mansion.
Now, Liu Yi hopes that the old man Hou Junji will come to him stupidly to take revenge. He took him aside earlier so that there would be no more troubles. Otherwise, he would have to worry all day long and would not have a hard time living.
Let Liu Wuchen come to the mansion, the young master and the soldiers and servants they brought, arrange the rooms and prepare the meals. They pass by the door and are guests. When they come from afar, they can't neglect them.
In Liu Yi's opinion, among these four people, only Feng Xiaoyi and Li Jihe have the right to be in charge of official duties, arrest the imperial offenders in the court, and by the way, they will ensure the safety of Liu Yi's family. It's very good.
Cheng Chumo came here purely for personal grudges and did not want to let Hou Junji go. He was here to take revenge. This can be seen from the archers he brought.
As for Fang Yiai, he came here to report to Liu Yi's message, but seeing his appearance, he was mostly thinking about the excitement. Liu Yi didn't believe it. With Fang Xuanling's ability, he would not be able to see if Hou Jun gathered here.
However, no matter what their purpose was, Liu Yi didn't care much. Among the four, except Fang Yiai, a half-literary and half-martial fake scholar, the others were all serious generals, so Liu Yi handed them over to Gongsun Helan, the kid to entertain him.
They are all acquaintances. They have never met or fought in Chang'an City, so the few people soon got to chat. After they had enough food and meals, they all gathered together and discussed how to arrange a trap and ambush Hou Junji.
Liu Yiu was not interested in this kind of thing. He did not participate in it on the grounds that he did not understand and was busy with family affairs. Whenever he had time, he would come to Chuchu and accompany his wife.
My father-in-law's family was taken to the mansion by Ma Cheng yesterday. After several days of heavy rain, the entire village of Xiaoxinzhuang was filled with ditches and wells, and the turbid and odor-like rain had already spread to some low-lying houses. Unfortunately, their Zhang family was in these low-lying places.
So, when Ma Cheng drove the carriage to pick them up, Zhang Boliang thought for a moment, agreed, sorted out the food and wardrobe at home, and led his family all the way to Liu's house in Gutian Village.
The land of Liu House is towering, and it can be said to be the highest land among the nearby villages. There is no need to worry about rainfall that can overflow here. In this kind of weather, staying here is the safest.
Today is the fourth day of heavy rain, and the rain is still there. The small ditches and rivers near the village have already risen to the shore. I heard that even the water of the Jing River and Wei River is almost full. If it falls for a few more days, the river water will inevitably flood. Villagers from all over the country are beginning to panic. In some places, large-scale migration has occurred, transporting grain and furniture to high places such as hills to avoid floods.
At noon yesterday, the Gongsun County Magistrate of Sanyuan County issued a document on disaster prevention and control to all the villages under his jurisdiction. The village chiefs and lime chiefs of each village are notified from door to door that they should drink boiled water, sprinkle lime, eat garlic, and report it in time if they are sick.
The rest are easy to say, lime, garlic, and the county has special buying and selling locations in each village and every li, but this boiled water is a bit difficult.
The weather is wet and heavy rain, and the dry firewood stored in each household is not enough to last for half a month. In just four days, some households are almost unable to get the fire and cannot cook. In this case, where can I get the water?
This is probably the fundamental reason why the epidemic in the disaster area is difficult to control. Gongsun Hannan feels a little headache. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. There is no firewood or fire. Even if you want to drink, you can't find it.
"Are you still worried about the current disaster?" Nangong Ziyan asked her husband softly as she waited for Gongsun Hannan to take off her official uniform.
"Yes, as the rain accumulates more and more, the disaster is getting worse. I am worried about my husband that these three Yuans will be like the black wounds that year, and the epidemic will spread." Sitting down on the bed lightly, Gongsun Hannan glanced at Nangong Ziyan and said, "Although my husband has the epidemic prevention method given by Brother Liu, I am always unable to feel at ease."
"Brother Liu is a miraculous doctor. His prescription will definitely help his husband overcome difficulties. You don't have to worry too much." Put your official uniforms on the wardrobe next to you. Nangong Ziyan walked to Gongsun Hannan and comforted her softly: "Besides, although the heavy rain is severe, as long as the flood does not come, Sanyuan will not have too much disaster. Your husband just needs to do his best."
"Well, my wife is right," Gongsun Hannan nodded slightly, bent down and took off his boots, then turned over to the bed. He didn't want his wife to worry about official business matters.
"This afternoon, after my husband left, my second uncle came and brought some daily supplies. Seeing that my husband was away, I chatted with me for a while and then left again. I haven't seen my second uncle for a few years. My second uncle has grown much older and my hair is almost white." After lifting the quilt, Nangong Ziyan also came in lightly, turned over, and said to Gongsun Hannan: "I used to be far away, but there is no way. Now I'm close. If I have time, we should go to my second uncle's mansion to sit more and spend more time with him."
"Wait for this period of time," Gongsun Hannan felt his eyelids heavy, yawned, and said softly to Nangong Ziyan: "When the flood is over and I have free time, let's go to pay my respects to my second uncle and second aunt. Well, there is also that boy Xiaolan'er. Didn't he run here often a few days ago? Why didn't he see him today?"
"I heard from the second uncle that he went to Gutian Village to find his eldest brother Liu." Nangong Ziyan said softly: "Honey, have you heard of it? Hou Junji escaped from the Ministry of Justice last night. Xiao Lan'er was worried that Hou Junji would come to find Mr. Liu to revenge, so she led a few people to run away early in the morning."
"What, Hou Junji escaped from prison?" Gongsun Hannan suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly lost his sleepiness. This news was too shocking for him.
"Honey, haven't you read today's official documents? The second uncle said that Chang'an should issue documents to arrest Hou Junji." Nangong Ziyan said softly to Gongsun Hannan: "Last night, not only Hou Junji escaped, but even the Crown Princess drank poisonous wine and was intoxicated. I heard that Chang'an City is almost in chaos."
"Is that right? I've been collecting substances outside this day, and I've handed over all the official documents from the county to the county board to take care of. Why did so many things happen in just one day?" Gongsun Hannan sat up from the bed and said, "No, I have to send someone to Gutian Village to check it out. If Hou Junji really comes, Xiaolan'er and the others will probably not be able to fight. Now is the disaster period, and Sanyuan is bound to be the miracle doctor Liu Xiandi."
"Don't worry, husband," Nangong Ziyan also sat up from the couch and looked at Gongsun Hannan and said, "If the Liu Mansion is really in danger, the second uncle will not send Xiaolan'er easily. The second uncle said that Hou Junji will not go, and Mr. Liu will not be in danger. Husband, please feel at ease."
"Uh," Gongsun Hannan lowered his head and thought for a while, then he understood. Even when he heard that Hou Junji had escaped, he could immediately think of Hou Junji coming to ask for trouble for Liu. How could others not meet? How could Hou Junji not have thought of it?
The Liu Mansion is now full of people? With the troubles that Hou Junji has caused in the court in recent years, there are probably many people who want to arrest him.
Concern is a mess. Gongsun Hannan chuckled, then lay down gently, and said, "I didn't expect that I haven't seen my second uncle for a few years, and my second uncle is still as smart as before."
"Yes, not only the second uncle, but Xiao Lan'er, has grown up, too." Nangong Ziyan responded softly and said, "A few days ago, I went to the second uncle's mansion to chat with the second aunt. Judging from the second aunt's meaning, Xiao Lan'er seemed to have a crush on someone, but I don't know when he will get married."
"Haha, I know a little about this husband," Gongsun Hannan said with a chuckle: "That boy likes Princess Yuzhang under Queen Changsun's knees. It started three years ago, but it was unrequited love. Well, do you know why Xiao Lan'er always likes to cause trouble in the 'Qingfeng Pavilion' when she was in Chang'an?"
Before Nangong's Yan could answer, Gongsun Hannan asked and answered: "That's because the 'Qingfeng Pavilion' was opened by Princess Yuzhang. Moreover, every half a month, Princess Yuzhang would dress up as a man and appear in the 'Qingfeng Pavilion' to make friends through literature. Although Princess Yuzhang is a woman, her talent is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
"Oh? No wonder," Nangong Ziyan said suddenly: "No wonder Xiaolan'er is obviously very martial, but she always dresses like a literati. I originally thought he was influenced by you, haha, I didn't expect that it was because Princess Yuzhang likes literati. Speaking of which, Xiaolan'er is also quite infatuated."
