Wen Fei had an injury on his face, he was recuperating in the guest hospital with an excuse, and he didn't go out for a few days.

But Chu Xi is different, she has hardly been idle these days.Whether it is to appease the angry and awkward elder brother, or to speculate on Wen Fei's secrets and consider the future of the two, or to accompany the second sister-in-law Xu to go out on errands... After all, she has never rested for a moment, which is why she does not seem to be heard. Fei Na, immersed in sadness for a long time.

This day, Mrs. Xu went out with Chu Xi again, but before going out, she ran into Wen Fei at the gate.Chu Xi could tell at a glance that she was preoccupied and wanted to have a conversation with the other party, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The carriage rattled and carried Chu Xi away from Chu's mansion. After traveling a long way, she quietly opened the curtain and took a look back.

Mrs. Xu on the side saw her actions. As the mistress of the house, she knew better about the situation of the two of them in the mansion these days.Seeing that there was no outsider in the car, and seeing Chu Xi's hesitant and cautious attitude, she finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Little sister, what did you and Marquis Wuwei talk about that day?"

The carriage had gone far away, and through the window, Chu Xi could only see a thin figure standing outside the gate of the mansion, facing the direction the carriage was leaving for a long time.The emotions in her heart were extremely complicated for a moment, Xu's words also drifted past her ears but failed to enter her heart.

Xu was probably the first to see through, but her relationship with Chu Xi can only be regarded as ordinary, and she doesn't really care much about each other's emotional issues.It's just that the various relationships in the aristocratic family are inextricably linked, and they often affect the whole body. If Chu Xi and Wen Fei get married, many things will be involved.She'd better know ahead of time and be able to make some preparations ahead of time.

Of course Chu Xi understands this, but she and Wen Fei's affairs are constantly being cut and messed up, so it's hard to talk about it and I don't want to talk about it.As for Yudong's outrageous guess, she couldn't even mention it to others.

So after a brief silence, Chu Xi simply changed the topic: "Second sister-in-law, do you know what happened today?"

Wen Fei has been locked up in the guest courtyard for a few days, if there is nothing else to do, he would not appear at the gate of the mansion at this time, but returned from the outside with a worried face.While Chu Xi changed the subject, she was also concerned about the other party, wondering why she looked like that.

Mrs. Xu is not a ignorant person, so she didn't ask too many questions when she saw this, and then changed the subject: "If you want to talk about a big event, there is really one today. The city gate of Jiangzhou was closed again, and it was said that the epidemic outside the city was difficult to control. There are not enough medicinal materials, so we can only lock those sick refugees outside the city." She said with a sigh: "I don't know how many people will die in this encounter."

This topic is serious enough, not to mention Xu, even Chu Xi, who was still full of worries before, can't care about her little affection.She frowned, and the corners of her lips twitched: "Did the people in the government office just close the city gate?!"

Mrs. Xu looked at her, and sighed again: "It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. Your brother hasn't been back to the house for the past few days, so he tried his best. The most important thing now is myrrh. Thousands of patients outside the city , It’s not something that can be cured with just one sentence. Now that the city gate is closed, at least the epidemic can be kept outside the city and the people of this city can be kept.

Chu Xi actually understands this reason. She was favored and read with her elder brothers since she was a child, and she is wiser, and her views on major issues are actually even better than Xu's.It's just that her daughter's family is always soft-hearted. Seeing the pity of the victims with her own eyes, she always feels more unbearable.

Of course, at the moment she can only suppress her own unbearable, and instead ask Xu: "Then Second Sister-in-law, since the gates of the city have been closed, do we still have to go to the banquet today?"

That's right, the two of them came out for a banquet, and it's like this these days!

People say that "the wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the road is frozen to death", although this sentence does not completely match at this moment, but it is not inappropriate when you think about it carefully...

Ever since Wen Fei stepped forward to take over the garrison, the people of Jiangzhou knew that a great person had come to the city.A general of the first rank, a marquis for military merit, is even more simple in the emperor's heart.This kind of Wen Feimo said that he was in Jiangzhou, even in Chang'an, the capital, he was also very popular.

When the local wealthy businessman and country gentry in Jiangzhou learned of her identity, they undoubtedly became fawning.It's just that they didn't have friendship with Wen Fei at first, so they couldn't get close to him rashly.Secondly, Wen Fei was accompanied by her fiancée, a girl from the Chu family in the south of the Yangtze River. No one dared to offend, so the way of sending a beauty to curry favor was impossible.

However, since the girl from the Chu family is here, there is no way to send off the beauties, but the wives of each family can come forward and get in through Mrs. Biejia.So from the second day after Wen Fei revealed his identity, all kinds of invitations came in one after another, almost filling the concierge of Chu's house.

Chu Xi naturally didn't pay attention at first, and Xu Shi just mentioned to her that neither of them had any plans to go to the banquet.It was only later that Chu Min disclosed the lack of food in the government to Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu told Chu Xi about the matter, and the two sisters and sisters began to go to the banquet—these gentry and rich men who are all about fawning, they certainly don’t like them , but they are really rich and well-fed in the local area!

Chu Xi has never been short of money, and the Chu family has accumulated enough wealth from generation to generation, but the family is not in the local area.So she came up with the idea of ​​borrowing food to turn around. She wanted to borrow food from those gentry and rich people first, and then return it when the disaster relief food from the imperial court arrived in the future.

At that time, no one would dare to refuse to repay the loan of grain in the name of the Chu family, and they would just pay the squires a favor afterwards.

The aunt and sister-in-law made plans, and they went to a lot of banquets these days, but they didn't know that the gate of the city was closed as soon as something happened.Now that the government does not provide disaster relief, there is no shortage of food. What reason do the two of them have to socialize?

Mrs. Xu had already thought about this when she got the news. She sighed and said, "I have already made an appointment, so naturally I still have to go to the appointment. Now that the government is not going to provide disaster relief, let's just go and play together. Future posts will be fine." pushed."

Chu Xi nodded in agreement, but her heart was heavy, so why would she want to have fun?

***************************************************************************

The gentry and rich men in Jiangzhou took turns to invite Chu Xi and the two, and today it happened to be the turn of the Li family in the east of the city, and the two aunts and sisters agreed to go to the appointment and naturally went on time.After having a small banquet, admiring the lotus for a while, chatting and laughing with the female relatives, I said goodbye and went back.

Chu Xi had experienced many kinds of banquets in Chang'an before, and he was already very comfortable with attending banquets.But after a small banquet today, she still felt tired, not physically, but psychologically.

The lotus flowers of the Li family are very beautiful, and the food they prepare is exquisite enough, even no worse than some banquets in Chang'an, which clearly shows the wealth and importance of the Li family.It's just that it's not normal now, Jiangzhou has just experienced a flood in less than a month, and the lotus in the lotus pond has to be rearranged to perfection, and the food prepared has to be exquisite and luxurious. One can imagine the manpower and material resources required.

Chu Xi usually doesn't think there is anything extravagant and wasteful, because that's the environment she grew up in, and the rules of the aristocratic family will only be more decent than the Li family.However, today's banquet really didn't make her happy, so much so that she didn't bother to pay attention to the hints of borrowing food from the people at the banquet a few days ago, and now they don't need to borrow food anymore.

On the carriage back, Mrs. Xu saw that Chu Xi was listless, so she said with concern, "What's the matter? If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me. If you get sick, you won't be delayed."

Chu Xi was just a little bored in his heart, and he didn't feel physically uncomfortable, so he shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a little bored."

Having said that, Chu Xi also wanted to breathe, so she lifted the curtain of the car and looked out—the flood had not yet passed, and the epidemic had recurred. Even though the city gate was not opened this morning, the atmosphere in the city was much more depressing than before.There were almost no pedestrians on the street, and nine out of ten shops on both sides were closed. Occasionally, one or two doors were open, most of which were forcibly knocked open by customers who came to buy things.

The horseshoes were treading on the quiet street, and the scenery outside the car window receded unhurriedly.Xu Shi saw a lot of closed shop doors on the side of the street, and when a shop with its door wide open broke into his eyes, Chu Xi couldn't help but linger on it for a moment longer.

It was a medical center, behind the counter facing the main door, the guy was arranging medicinal materials.The famous medical clinic in the past is now deserted, and the doctor with a gray beard is also idle, standing in front of the medicinal material cabinet to check the remaining amount of medicinal materials in the shop, and occasionally turning around to talk to the clerk, asking something.

The carriage quickly passed by the hospital, but Chu Xi suddenly remembered something - in order to prevent the epidemic a few days ago, almost all the doctors in the city were ordered by the government to go outside the city to see the victims of the disaster, so that they found After Chu Xi became dizzy, Wen Fei wanted to find a doctor to help her, but she couldn't find anyone.But now that the city gate is closed, these doctors seem to have returned to the city...

Thinking of this, Chu Xi suddenly turned around and said to Xu: "Second sister-in-law, I feel a little unwell, maybe it's because the weather is too hot and I have sunstroke. By the way, the doctor in the mansion is back. If he comes back, I want him to help Prescribe medicine to relieve summer heat."

When Xu heard this, she immediately became nervous, and hurriedly raised her hand to test the temperature on Chu Xi's forehead.As a result, she naturally didn't have a fever, but Chu Xi's listless look made her dare not ignore it, so she said: "The city gates are closed, so Doctor Wu naturally won't go. Since my little sister is unwell, you should ask the doctor to diagnose your pulse." Take a look, how can you just prescribe medicine to deal with it?!"

After saying this, without waiting for Chu Xi to say anything, Xu ordered the driver to drive the carriage faster.

Feeling the sudden acceleration of the carriage, Chu Xi lowered her eyes slightly, and naturally did not refuse.In fact, her original intention was to meet the doctor in the mansion, and she just didn't want to cause people to speculate.

I still remember the night when I first entered Jiangzhou, when my brother and second sister-in-law saw that she looked sick, they ordered the doctor in the mansion to take her and Wen Fei's pulse.At that time, the doctor diagnosed her physical impairment and prescribed a remedy for her body.She has been taking that medicine these days, and while suffering unspeakably, her complexion has indeed improved a lot after conditioning, and her body has gradually recovered.

But the doctor didn't say anything about Wen Fei's health.In fact, Wen Fei was born as a military general, and she was young and strong. No one would doubt that she was strong.But in Chu Xi's heart, there were some doubts about inadequacy and inhumanity, so he naturally wanted to ask questions again.

What if the doctor just concealed it for her because of Marquis Wuwei's face?

Or maybe Wen Fei's body is really fine, then she should think about other possibilities...

The author has something to say: Chu Xi (worried): If Ah Fei is really sick, how can I persuade her not to shy away from medical treatment?

Wen Fei (...): Thank you, there is no need.

PS: It's not too early or too late today, so I'm hesitant to add more updates?It will be too late to add more. . .
