Showered, changed clothes, freshened up, and was busy all afternoon.

Yunling held two hairpins in her hand, feeling a little distressed.

When she came out in a hurry, she randomly chose two simple styles, but now she felt that the matching clothes were a bit monotonous.

Yuliu couldn't help but smile and said: "Miss, there's still some time before dinner, why don't I go out and see if the jewelry shop is closed? Let's buy a set of nice-looking headdresses now."

Yunling then made up her mind and chose a silver hairpin inlaid with purple jade.

"That's it. Don't buy it. The current situation is special. Those shops should not be open. Even if they are open, we don't want to go out and attract people's attention."

When he raised his eyes, he saw two girls looking at him with suppressed smiles. Only then did he realize that he had been made fun of.

Yunling was not annoyed, "You two, just laugh at me. When we get home, I will find a match for you two and marry you off sooner or later."

Yuliu and Yuqi are now eighteen years old. They are already considered grown-ups. According to the rules of getting married early in the south, they should get engaged and start a family.

Generally speaking, the girls next to the young lady should be paired with servants, but Yunling was reluctant to let them be relegated to low status in the future, so she still let the two of them have their household registration in the farmer's household on the village, even though they were landless tenant farmers. , after all, they are ordinary people.

The two looked at each other and said, "If you don't get married, what's the point of getting married? It's better to stay with the lady and serve her."

Life is much better now than in Zhuangzi.

Moreover, they have also seen those married women in the village living around their husband-in-law, parents-in-law, and children all their lives. What fun is there in this?

It's not as fun as following the eldest lady busy with business or medical skills.

"This slave wants to do business with the eldest lady." Yu Liu said.

Yu Qi also said, "I like to study medicine with the old lady."

Speaking of this, Yunling couldn't help but laugh, "None of my grandfather's four sons can inherit his mantle. Even me, he always feels that I have too many things to do and can't concentrate. But after you came, Grandfather was very happy and only said that you have a pure mind and are best suited to learn from him."

Yu Qi was a little shy after being praised, and nodded, "I will definitely study hard."

Yunling smiled and said, "Okay, then remember to learn more about gynecology. If something goes wrong when I give birth in the future, you have to save my life!"

Medical conditions were difficult at this time in ancient times, and giving birth to a child was like going to hell, so she had to prepare for a rainy day.

Yuliu and Yuqi said in unison: "Children's words are not forbidden, children's words are not forbidden. No matter what you do in the future, the eldest lady will be safe and sound. You don't want to talk nonsense."

A few people were laughing and joking, and soon it was time for dinner.

Although Zhou Qiong was talking about after dinner, Mr. Tang felt that Zhou Qiong might show up during dinner, so he left a seat for him.

But when it got dark, Zhou Qiong never showed up.

They were all engaged, and Mr. Tang regarded Zhou Qiong as his grandson. He immediately asked, "Is the prince busy? How is the epidemic situation in the city? But do you need me to find him?"

Although he had a rough guess in his mind after listening to Ling'er's words, he still felt a little uneasy when he didn't hear Zhou Qiong explain it clearly in person.

Besides, it was still so busy, how could he not worry?

Guan Yi shook his head, "Don't worry, old man. The prince will definitely come if he says he will come. I guess the group of people we caught on the way have some origins. The prince wants to stay there to interrogate them personally, which is why we have been delayed until now."

Mrs. Tang put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Okay, when the prince comes, come to my room no matter how late it is. I have something to ask."

"Yes."

Mr. Tang turned to Yun Ling and said, "Eat more. The road is bumpy. I see you have lost weight along the way."

Yunling started to lose weight last year, and now she is starting to look slim.

It just grows too fast and looks a little thin.

The old man thought that he had to take good care of Ling'er's health before getting married. The task of growing the Zhou family was very heavy.

Yunling ate slowly, and when the old man left, her appetite was completely gone.

"Remove it, let's go to the yard to eat."

Yunling walked around the yard three times with Yuliu and Yuqi, but still didn't find anyone.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark and the moon was rising, he finally said with regret: "Go back to the room!"

After returning to the room, I was still a little unwilling, so I simply leaned against the window and read a book.

After all, I’ve been dressing up all afternoon. It would be a shame if I had to freshen up without seeing anyone!

Zhou Qiong didn't arrive at the other courtyard until the moon was at its peak.

Guan Yi, who was guarding the Moon Gate, immediately told him what the old man said.

Zhou Qiong looked at the sky and knew that she had arrived too late, so she nodded and said: "Then go to the old man's house first. If you don't have a rest, I will talk to him."

When they arrived at Mrs. Tang's room, they actually lit the lamp.

"Grandpa." Zhou Qiong called as he entered the door.

Mr. Tang was playing Baduanjin because he felt like lighting up a lamp and reading at night to keep his eyes open.

I was suffocated in the carriage all the way and had no time to move my hands and feet.

Seeing him coming, he immediately said: "Why so late?"

"Something came out of the review, so the delay was a little longer."

Zhou Qiong also knew that the old man was impatient to hear these things in court, so he didn't say much.

The old man nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "What is going on with the epidemic in Xuerong City? I think the city is closed, and everything in the city is still as usual, except that the residents don't go out much."

Zhou Qiong did not hide it from him, "In fact, most of the people who are sick are people from the Western Region and Xijue. Only a few Dongrui people were unfortunately infected. I placed them in a house."

"As for the people in the city...the county magistrate is one of our own. He cooperated with me to inform the residents in the city that there were people who had the epidemic who were unwilling to come out for treatment or feared infecting the whole city. They were afraid, so they naturally cooperated with the closure of the city. .”

Mrs. Tang's eyes widened.

"You are getting more and more courageous. This is bullying..."

Zhou Qiong shook his head, "Grandpa, I discovered it and took precautions in advance. If not, not to mention Xuerong City, the entire Qingzhou would have been shrouded in the haze of the plague."

"I just used this opportunity to come to Qingzhou openly and get back the things that belong to my Zhenxihou Mansion."

Mrs. Tang was speechless.

After being silent for a long time, he finally said: "As long as you know what you are doing, I'm old and I don't understand your disputes... Take me to see those patients tomorrow and find a way to treat them as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Yanzhou starts to cause trouble, the people of Dongrui will suffer."

Zhou Qiong nodded, "Grandpa, don't worry."

Mrs. Tang patted him on the shoulder, "This world belongs to you young people after all. I just do what I should do. You don't need to tell me anything else."

"Yes."

"Go ahead and go back and rest early." Mr. Tang smiled and waited for him to leave.

But Zhou Qiong stayed where he was.
