She must have gone to find Song Yu.
Without thinking, Xihe figured out the cause and effect.
She felt a little disappointed in her heart, but smiled the next second, then turned around and devoted herself to treating Song Mo's legs.
But now...
Xihe raised his head: "Song Mo, the war will definitely happen, you must be prepared."
Song Mo Congshan Ruliu said: "Okay."
When he got home in the evening, Mr. Jiang was teasing the little bird out of boredom. When he saw her coming in, he scolded her: "Don't care what time it is? You haven't been home all day. Look at whose daughter is like you."
"By the way, there is news from the Song Mansion, asking you to come into the house tomorrow."
Xihe said "oh".
In the evening, the family had dinner and then went back to the room to rest.
A dreamless night,
The next day she dressed up and went to Song Mansion. The maid came to greet her and said, "Miss Yue'er, are you here? Madam is already waiting." She led Xihe into the main courtyard.
As soon as Xihe entered, Mrs. Song handed her the booklet in her hand.
When the long and wide book was opened, it revealed a handsome young master inside. The same was true after opening two pages. Xihe glanced at it twice, put it down, and then looked at Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song took a sip of tea and put it down: "The family background, talent and appearance have all been marked. Take a look and see if there is anything you like?"
Xihe shook his head: "No."
Mrs. Song: "..."
He couldn't help but raise his head, stared at her for a long time, and frowned: "But you dislike their family background? But you also have to look at your current status. You are no longer the young lady of the Song family. Even if we protect you, we think you are thousands of It’s all good, but the husband’s family is not willing to do it, Yue’er, you…”
Xihe interrupted her: "Madam, I don't want to get married yet."
Mrs. Song felt that she was being unreasonable: "In one month, you will be sixteen and you still haven't engaged? Do you want your grandpa to be blamed?"
In today's dynasty, if a girl fails to get married after reaching the age of sixteen, her parents will be scolded by the government, ranging from a fine to a heavy stick. If Xihe does not marry, the only one who will suffer is Mr. Jiang.
Xihe's eyebrows were calm: "I will pay the money and I won't let Grandpa be blamed."
Mrs. Song was furious: "Is this a matter of money? Your heart is as high as the sky and your life is as thin as paper, yet you still think you are..."
Xihe stood up, turned around and left: "If nothing happens from now on, madam, you don't have to call me again."
Lord Song returned home from court that day. As soon as he entered the house, Mrs. Song pulled him to the main courtyard. She complained to him that Xihe's wings were stiff, that he didn't take her seriously, and so on. She was very angry.
Master Song didn't take it seriously: "She's still young, just wait two more years."
Mrs. Song exploded: "Little? She will be eighteen in two years! She has no life experience and no support. It is not easy for me to talk to others. In two years, she can only marry a trafficker and a lackey." Got it!"
I made up my mind to talk to that girl again and finalize the marriage.
However, after waiting and waiting, the maid sent out eight times out of ten came to nothing. Each time she said that the person had gone out, and in the end she simply said that she had gone far away.
Traveling far away? Where could she go if she had no relatives or reasons in the Jiang family?
Mrs. Song was so angry that she felt that Xihe was completely unruly and completely lawless.
However, Xihe did leave the capital and got on a boat heading to the south of the Yangtze River. The river was surging, and the scenery on both sides of the river gradually changed from the light yellow of autumn to dark green.
Xiao Wu came up with his cloak: "Sir, it's windy at night, please go into the cabin."
Xihe gathered his clothes and turned around: "Yeah."
The bright moon was hanging high, the night wind was blowing from all directions, and the lanterns were swaying. At this time, most people had fallen into a deep sleep. Those who were not sleeping were either seasick or looking at the moon in deep thought.
Xihe entered the cabin, and the chambermaid stood up: "Miss Yue'er."
Xihe nodded and asked how long they had left. The chamberlain replied that there were still two days and added: "Don't worry, Miss Yue'er, we will definitely arrive before the 15th."
Xihe nodded: "I'm just worried about the situation over there. I hope the plague won't spread too fast."
Since the beginning of summer this year, there has been continuous rain in Jiangnan, and many places have been flooded. This is basically the case in previous years. In addition, Jiangnan has always done a good job in water conservancy, so no one paid attention at first.
Who knew that the situation would become more and more serious, and by the time we reacted, many places would be flooded.
The people were homeless, the crops were not harvested, and what was even more frightening was the various diseases that followed. Officials reported it immediately. However, transportation was originally inconvenient in ancient times. When the news was received, the court would discuss countermeasures. Here we directly A plague broke out.
At this time, Jiangnan has completely become a hot potato.
The emperor was now on his sick bed and the prince was in power. He immediately sent his imperial doctor to the south of the Yangtze River, along with tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the capital. Remembering Xihe's medical skills, he approached her again.
Without saying a word, Xihe packed his bags that day, told Mr. Jiang and got on the boat.
The situation was urgent. The imperial doctors did not join the army, but took the first step to control the condition and prevent the situation from getting worse. The Xihe woman disguised herself as a man and mingled among them, while Xiao Wu was sent by Song Mo to protect her.
Xiao Wu comforted: "Don't worry, miss, everything will be fine."
Xihe nodded optionally.
The ship kept moving and arrived in Lin'an two days later.
But the ship encountered trouble as soon as it stopped. The turbid river water, the scorching sun, and the floating corpses of various animals in the water. Many wooden buildings couldn't bear the impact and all collapsed, and the ship was forced to dock halfway.
"The imperial court! It's the imperial court!"
"The people from the court are here, sir, please save me, save my mother——"
Someone heard the sound and came with a look of surprise on his face. Then he threw himself into the water and swam towards the boat.
But the river was still very deep, mixed with a stench, which made people on the boat frightened. There were many people on the river bank who wanted to jump down. The guards rushed up: "Don't jump, don't jump! We are here to save you." of!"
The refugees didn't listen at all and continued to jump down one after another. When they got to the front of the boat, they climbed up as hard as they could.
They just think that whoever runs faster and reaches the front first has a greater chance of survival.
The guards had no choice but to go down to rescue some of them, and others quickly built ladders to get off the boat. Xiao Wu went to help, and the servant sent by the prince stayed by Xihe's side, fearing that she would be squeezed and trampled by the refugees.
However, due to the impact of the river water, the ladder could not be stabilized at all, and the guards staggered and fell into the water.
Xihe frowned at the sight, pushed the chamberlain away, walked quickly to the side of the boat, grabbed the hemp rope from the guard's hand, turned it tightly in his hand a few times, sprinted, and jumped directly to the other side of the river.
The chamberlain's heart almost jumped out of his throat: "Young Master!"
Xihe held on to the rope tightly, and the powerful impact almost dragged her into the river. Her hands were bleeding instantly. She gritted her teeth and shouted at the stupid guard: "Look for a stake!"
The guard responded: "Yes!"
