Chapter 462 Plague

Chapter 462 Plague

As soon as Wang Jin left, Zhou Qing pulled Zhao Xi into the room, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Xi waved his hand, "I won't go in, I just stopped by to run an errand."

"Run an errand?"

Zhao Xi did not enter the house, and Zhou Qing did not force him. The two of them walked away while talking, and stood in the shadow under the flower stand in the courtyard.

"Just now Shi Yuexin and Princess Minghe from the eldest princess's mansion were obedient in Yao'er's shop.

Princess Minghe wanted to visit your farmhouse. Shi Yuexin asked Yaoer to send a message so that you could go to the farmhouse to find them when you are free.

I happened to be home, so I stopped by to let you know. "

So that's it.

Ever since the princeling rebellion, Princess Minghe had been depressed, and Shi Yuexin thought of ways to make her happy every day.

It's good to go out and relax.

Zhou Qing smiled and said: "This matter is worthy of your special trip. You can just send a little maid over."

Zhao Xi said mysteriously: "That's different. I came here for my own reason."

Zhou Qing didn't understand what her expression of love meant, so he joked: "What, are you getting married?"

Zhao Xi didn't hide it, "I'm not married yet, it's early, I'm chasing someone."

Zhou Qing

I was stunned for a while before I realized what she meant by chasing someone.

Is it so direct?

However, what does the fact that you are chasing someone have to do with the fact that you came here to deliver a message?

Does it mean that the person you are chasing also lives here?

Or did you and him just happen to be walking along the way?

Putting aside the gossip in his mind, Zhou Qing said with a smile: "You have only been in Kyoto for a few days and you have developed such a feeling? Love at first sight? Which young master is so lucky that you actively pursue him? Do you want my help?"

There was a smile in Zhao Xi's eyes, "It was love at first sight, tsk, I just got interested. I won't tell you who it is, and I don't need to help you. Anyway, you don't need it now. You will know when I catch you. I won't tell you anymore. I I'm leaving."

Zhou Qing asked his maid to bring two boxes of snacks made at the farmhouse to Zhao Xi, and then personally sent her out.

After seeing Zhao Xi off, Zhou Qing had nothing to do. He left a message for the steward and then drove straight to the farmhouse to find Shi Yuexin and the others.

The farmhouse is already on track. Zhou Huailin only goes there three times a month to learn about the specific situation there.

The rest are taken care of by the stewards over there.

When Zhou Qing arrived, it was already mid-afternoon. As soon as she got off the carriage, she was invited over by the maid in front of Shi Yuexin.

Shi Yuexin and Princess Minghe were having a barbecue in the shadow of an old poplar tree, with a shelf full of food on the shelf next to them.

Seeing Zhou Qing coming, Shi Yuexin raised her voice and shouted, "Finally you are here, we haven't seen you for days!"

Zhou Qing walked over with a smile and greeted Minghe and the princess. Minghe curled his lips and waved his hands away. In just three days, Zhou Qing only felt that Minghe had lost ten pounds.

Zhou Qing couldn't answer Shi Yuexin's words. He could only point out the pain points with the princess.

Sitting down next to Shi Yuexin, she said disgustedly: "Are you having a barbecue? What kind of thing are you grilling? Your Highness, how can you eat at this level?"

Minghe smiled and said, "Just call me Minghe."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Shi Yuexin and said, "It's indeed not very tasty."

Shi Yuexin immediately handed the work in her hand to Zhou Qing, "Who doesn't know how to talk? You can do it!"

After saying that, he turned around and poked Princess Minghe on the forehead.

"Heartless, who just said that my roasted leeks were delicious?"

Zhou Qing glanced at the plate aside, which contained a bunch of black things, "Are those leeks? Have you tasted them yourself?"

Shi Yuexin rolled her eyes, "I know it won't taste bad even if you try it. I asked Shen Xin for the secret barbecue recipe!"

As she spoke, Shi Yuexin picked up a handful of leeks with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

"Bah! It's bitter!"

After chewing it for a while, he spit it out. He puffed several times before spitting out the residue in his mouth, and drank some tea to rinse his mouth.

"Idiot, you still ate half of the plate, you"

Shi Yuexin turned around to blame Minghe, but stopped abruptly before she could finish her words.

It tastes so bad, even Minghe ate it, what could be the reason?

Of course, it was because Minghe didn't feel it tasted bad at all.

These days, Minghe's state can be described in four words: in a trance.

Shi Yuexin's eyes were a little sour and she opened her mouth. She didn't know how to finish her words without irritating Minghe.

Minghe, on the other hand, smiled and took Shi Yuexin's hand, "It's your first barbecue, I always have to give you face, and the bit I ate wasn't that bitter."

Zhou Qing sat aside. Although she didn't have a deep relationship with Minghe, her empathy was high at the moment and she felt astringent in her heart.

"You two ladies, wait and eat my Zhou's secret barbecue!"

Zhou Qing took the call, and Shi Yuexin immediately said: "By the way, I told you, how about introducing a blind date to your father?"

Zhou Qing turned over the mutton skewers in his hand, watched the sizzling mutton fat drip onto the coals and caused a small flame, and said, "My father doesn't want to."

"Don't want to? Why? I heard my grandmother say that the woman is not the kind to divorce. She is a serious young lady with a high status. Why aren't you willing? Could it be that your father is I thought my grandmother was going to introduce him to someone who would make peace with her."

Zhou Qing shook his head.

"My father doesn't think about whether to reconcile or not. He is not a young man getting married for the first time. Besides, a young man getting married for the first time doesn't care whether he reconciles or not when he meets true love.

This is not the point.

Anyway, my dad just doesn’t want to get married. "

Zhou Qing didn't say what she said to Wang Jin.

Just as Shi Yuexin was about to say something else, the housekeeper of the farmhouse strode over with a serious look on her face. This attitude made Shi Yuexin shut up temporarily.

Zhou Qing handed the roasted mutton skewers to Shi Yuexin, "You two eat first."

After saying that, he wiped his hands and stood up, just as the woman walked forward.

"What's wrong?"

"Madam, I'm sorry, Yingzi told me just now that there are more than a dozen people in Zhuangzi who have fever and cough.

The slave girl went to take a look and found that several of them had red rashes on their bodies. "

As soon as the stewardess finished speaking, the mutton skewers Shi Yuexin was holding and about to hand to Minghe fell to the ground with a clatter.

Minghe's already haggard face turned pale, and his lips trembled, "Could it be the plague?"

The housekeeper didn't dare to look at Ming He, and just said to Zhou Qing: "Madam, I am afraid of accidents, so I have locked up those dozen people and sent for a doctor.

But if it’s really a plague”

If it were really a plague, the consequences would be disastrous.

Although the business of this farmhouse is not booming, there is an endless stream of guests, including many distinguished guests from Kyoto. People from nearby places like Zhending also come here.

If there really is a plague.

Zhou Qing's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of the epidemic that made it impossible for people across the country to celebrate the New Year.
