After Su Xiang returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was to temporarily close Tiantianju and Liushang Qushui Building.

Of course, during the closure period, all employees will receive a large gift package, which contains not only various grains, oils, dry goods, but most importantly, a large package of prepared medicinal materials.

Su Xiang sent people to buy those medicine kits in advance and then prepared them according to the prescriptions. They were all useful prescriptions for preventing the plague.

After all, these herbs are truly life-saving.

Today's Cang Country is really in a state of turmoil, with one wave rising after another. The drought problem had just been solved, but we didn't expect that a bigger disaster would come.

Although the number of deaths this time was much lower than in previous years due to the imperial court's intervention, countless refugees still starved to death on the road, and their bones lay on the road without anyone to collect them.

As the scorching sun bakes those highly decomposed corpses, invisible viruses and bacteria are flying rapidly in the air, mutating constantly. Just wait for an opportunity and it will explode completely.

Su wanted to remember that the plague broke out completely around June. For this reason, she deliberately told everyone in the Su mansion in advance to let everyone know the importance of this matter.

Su Xiangguo frowned and stared at Su Xiang solemnly.

"The plague is not a joke. Think about it, can you guarantee what you said?"

Su Xiang nodded, "This is a reasonable guess, father. Throughout ancient times and modern times, plagues will always occur after major disasters. I am not making nonsense. In addition, my cousin also believes in my guess."

When Fang Muxi was mentioned, Su Xiangguo's expression became more serious, "Muxi also knows?"

"Yes. He has already sent people to investigate the situation. He said he wanted to see if there were any signs of the early stages of the plague in other places. I think this matter is not trivial, so I specially tell you. In any case, we'd better make preparations in advance. .”

Su Xiangguo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stood up, "I'm going out to do some things, ancestors, I think I'll leave the family affairs to you."

After saying that, Su Xiang Guofeng left, leaving Su Xiang and others behind.

The ancestor frowned and thought for a while, then said: "In this case, we have to get ready. I think you will check the warehouse at home later, and quickly let people go out to buy more food and medicinal materials. We will be fine in the future. Don’t go out. In addition, the servants at home have also told me that if anyone wants to go out of the city to visit relatives, they are not allowed to do so. There are not so many dead people in Kyoto, so just be wary of those outside the city."

Su thought: "Okay, I understand. In addition, ancestors, I have a prescription that should be able to prevent epidemics. Later I will ask someone to prepare some medicine according to the prescription and give it to the family."

The ancestor smiled happily and said, "I'm thinking about it now."

Su Qing rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything to refute.

Now that the Su Mansion is Su Xiang's voice, Su Xiangguo and his ancestors all listen to Su Xiang, and Su Qing knows that nothing he says is of any use.

He is much more at peace now.

Since Su Wan got married and Su Qing took Qing He as a side wife, with Qing He as a considerate beauty as her companion, Su Qing couldn't think of looking for Su Wan for a while.

Especially when Qing He became pregnant, Su Qing slowly shifted her attention from Su Wan to Qing He, focusing on Qing He, looking forward to the birth of her child.

With this responsibility, Su Qing plans to study hard, obtain academic honors, become a good official for the country and the people like his father, and be a role model for his children.

However, Aunt Liu had been uneasy since she heard Su Xiang's words, and now she was even more panicked.

"Old ancestor, but... but my mother still lives in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Kyoto! I, I can't leave her behind..."

The ancestor looked worried, "Don't your mother live in her hometown in the countryside? When did she go to your village?"

Aunt Liu shrank her head and said, "She was in poor health some time ago... so I took her to Zhuangzi..."

"Then how could you leave your mother alone in Zhuangzi and return to Kyoto?!"

The ancestor had never had a good impression of Aunt Liu. Seeing her timid appearance, he became even more angry and subconsciously spoke louder.

Back then, this woman was so bold that she secretly climbed into Su Xiangguo's bed while he was drunk, and then entered the house by pretending to be pregnant. If it weren't for the childish innocence, Su Xiangguo would never marry her as his aunt!

That's why our ancestors always looked down on Aunt Liu and felt very guilty about Su Xiang's mother. That's why after Su Xiang's mother passed away, she devoted herself to pampering the girl who lost her mother early.

Aunt Liu quickly explained: "I, I have a cousin who came with my mother, so I feel relieved to have him take care of my mother... That's why I came back!"

Su Xiang's eyebrows moved and he glanced at Aunt Liu casually.

Cousin? It seems that Aunt Liu’s cousin has never appeared in the novel...

Moreover, Su Xiang remembered that Aunt Liu's mother was a rude woman like an alcoholic. Aunt Liu hated her very much. In order to get rid of her mother, she designed to get rid of Su Xiangguo while he was drunk and climbed into his bed, in exchange for a life of glory and wealth. .

Aunt Liu is such a nice person, she wishes she had to recognize that woman. Now she is worried about her mother? And he took her to his own village?

I always feel like something is weird.

In the end, the ancestor relented and asked Aunt Liu to send someone to bring her mother and cousin to the Su Mansion to stay temporarily until the plague passed.

The next day, a carriage brought an old woman and a sturdy middle-aged uncle.

After the doctor arranged by Su Xiang checked that there was nothing wrong with the two of them, Aunt Liu rushed up with tears in her eyes and hugged the woman.

"Mother! Fortunately, nothing happened to you..."

Aunt Liu's mother, Zhang Cuiping, patted her shoulder and comforted Aunt Liu with a motherly expression.

"Liu Niang, don't cry. As long as your cousin takes care of me, what will happen to me?"

After comforting Aunt Liu, Zhang Cuiping pushed her away, bowed to her ancestor in a flattering manner, and greeted her affectionately.

"Oh! You are the most distinguished old lady in the Su family, right? This is the first time I have seen such a noble person like you!"

The ancestor nodded coldly, not wanting to exchange more pleasantries with her, "Come into the mansion, your accommodation has been arranged. If you need anything in the future, just ask my servants at any time. I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, the ancestor turned around and went back with the help of Hongye.

Zhang Cuiping immediately put away the flattering smile on her face and curled her lips.

Aunt Liu glanced at Su Xiang awkwardly, fearing that her mother would do something else, and quickly dragged Zhang Cuiping into the mansion.

Su wanted to take this scene into his eyes, and inadvertently turned his eyes to glance at the cousin, only to see him staring intently at Aunt Liu's swaying back, following behind.

Su Xiangdeng narrowed his eyes and raised a faint arc at the corner of his mouth.

Suspicious, too suspicious...

She had to have someone check it out.
