Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 166: The eldest lady is under house arrest? (page 12)



Plague is a severe infectious disease mainly transmitted by Yersinia pestis through rat fleas. It is a natural epidemic disease widely prevalent among wild rodents. Clinical manifestations include fever, severe toxemia symptoms, lymphadenopathy, pneumonia, bleeding tendency, etc. Plague has caused many pandemics in world history, with tens of millions of people dying and a very high fatality rate.

However, the plague is an infectious disease that is mainly transmitted due to unhygienic food. Ye Qingmo, as the eldest daughter of Taixiang, would also contract this disease, which made He Yuzhu very strange.

Chen Xueru was very sad and said, "Don't scare me. With the blessing of Bodhisattva, Sister Qingmo will definitely be able to survive."

The two said a few words, and then the man came out and invited the two of them in.

He Yuzhu followed him into the office and finally met the eldest young master Ye Qingxian. After being polite, Chen Xueru first asked about Qing Mo's condition.

I learned from the eldest young master that Ye Qingmo's symptoms were relatively mild and there was no danger to his life. However, it was an infectious disease and Chen Xueru could not be allowed to visit.

Chen Xueru felt very sorry and said, "Then when Sister Qingmo is well, I will come to visit again."

"You're welcome. I'm very happy that my sister has such a good friend."

"You're welcome."

After chatting about Qingmo, Chen Xueru took out the list. This time there was a lot of goods coming in, and most of them had to be sent to Maozi Country in the north. She seriously warned that there must be no problems with the goods.

"Don't worry, you are also a regular customer for many years. There will definitely be no problems with the goods this time. It's just that the quantity you want is relatively large. It will take three days to prepare the goods for you. I can only bother you and wait for three days. "

"sure no problem."

The two discussed it, confirmed the order, placed a deposit, and paid the balance after the goods were on the train.

He Yuzhu was not familiar with the cloth and silk business. He almost didn't speak during the whole process, just observing the so-called eldest young master.

I always felt that this young master didn't seem to know how to do business. He made mistakes several times when talking about business, and it took Chen Xueru's reminder to correct him.

I feel like a layman who still doesn’t understand some details. Some of them need to go out and ask people before coming back to confirm.

After the business was settled, He Yuzhu walked out of the Taixiang shop and asked, "Didn't this young master take charge of business before?"

"Did you see it too?" Chen Xueru asked.

"What's so difficult about this? I've seen a lot of people doing business, but I've never seen anyone doing business like this."

Chen Xueru did not answer, but turned around and walked towards a teahouse, asked for a pot of Biluochun, and then said to He Yuzhu:

"I didn't tell you about this young master before, mainly because he is not in charge of business."

He Yuzhu didn't speak, just sipped the fragrant tea and listened carefully.

It turns out that this young master Ye Qingxian is a playboy, he knows nothing about business, and he lives a sensual life every day.

Her sister Ye Qingmo is a business genius. She studied in a shop since she was a child and became the shopkeeper when she became an adult.

Later, not long after the marriage, her husband died, and Ye Qingmo focused on business. Chen Xueru only knew her brother Ye Qingxian and had never interacted with him before.

"If this is the case, it makes sense. Qing Mo was infected with the plague, and Ye Qingxian had to step forward to take charge of the business. It is normal to be unfamiliar with him."

This time, He Yuzhu no longer had any doubts. Before, he was just being careful and making no big mistakes, feeling like everyone was in danger.

But this is just a normal purchase, it's just that there are a lot of needed goods, so what's the surprise?

"That's what you said. There are still three days left. Let's have a good time in Gusu City and wait for the Taixiang to prepare the cargo."

Then he said with some worry: "It's a pity that I can't see Sister Qingmo this time."

He Yuzhu comforted him: "Didn't the eldest son of the Ye family say that it's not life-threatening? Just rest for a while and wait until the condition gets better, then I'll come with you again, okay?"

"Well, let's make an agreement, you must come with me when the time comes."

He Yuzhu nodded and agreed.

In the following time, He Yuzhu was the most relaxed. It was like a honeymoon. He and Chen Xueru visited the scenic spots in the ancient city of Suzhou, although they were not as brightly lit and beautiful as in later generations.

However, the current attractions are all authentic and have more local characteristics. However, they mainly focus on sweets, which is very unaccustomed to eating. Moreover, outsiders cannot understand what ordinary people speak, making communication very difficult.

Only two days had passed when Ye Qingxian suddenly sent someone to invite Chen Xueru to dinner, saying that he had something to discuss, and stated that he was only inviting Chen Xueru to him, which surprised He Yuzhu.

Chen Xueru said: "Our two families are family friends. Maybe we want to connect with each other. Besides, you still want to treat me to dinner at Songhe Tower. What are you worried about?"

After saying this, He Yuzhu relaxed and just warned: "Yes, then you should be careful."

After that, Chen Xueru went to change clothes, and He Yuzhu suddenly had a bad feeling. This time going south to purchase goods was always not going well. He didn't even see the real owner, but a dandy came to host it.

He stood up and said to her, "I'm going out for a walk."

"Well, come back soon."

Chen Xueru cherishes every minute she spends with He Yuzhu. She is very charming. After He Yuzhu developed this, she became more proactive and wanted to spend all her time making love. After all, if they return to the capital, the two of them will The time spent together is pitiful.

"I'm just going for a walk."

He Yuzhu has always been very strange in his heart. There is something that has been bothering him. It is just right for him to ask about it and solve his doubts.

Chen Xueru thought that she had been working very hard in the past two days, which was a bit overwhelming for He Yuzhu and needed to go out to relax. She felt a little happy, so she stood up and gave him a kiss, and after giving He Yuzhu careful instructions, she sent He Yuzhu out.

If you want to inquire about the news, of course you have to go to the teahouse, order a pot of Biluochun and a few side dishes, then look around the crowd, find an occupied seat and walk up to him:

"Sorry to excuse you, can we share a seat?"

"Hey, we are a distinguished guest from the capital. Please take a seat." The old man said with a smile.

"Thank you." He Yuzhu apologized politely, then sat down and started chatting casually.

After a while, he asked: "I heard that there was a plague in Gusu City recently. I wonder if it is serious?"

"Plague? Who did you hear about it? Where is it?" The old man was very confused, and then said: "How come I haven't heard of it? Don't spread it!"

"There's none?"

"Of course not. I have never heard of anyone having the plague. You are just misleading the public with your lies."

The old man became more and more angry as he spoke, and his last words were very harsh.

Now He Yuzhu finally knew what was wrong. Plague was not an ordinary infectious disease. It was extremely contagious. As long as there was an epidemic, it would infect large areas, making people fearful and frightened.

But only Qingmo in the Ye family had the plague, and no one in Gusu knew about the spread of the plague. At this time, He Yuzhu became even more suspicious.

Didn't Ye Qingmo get the plague?
