The governor's mansion is much larger than the county government, and the mansion behind it is naturally larger than the county government's backyard.
Previously, it was more than enough for so many members of Niu's family to live in the Governor's Mansion, but it was more affluent when Yang Heshu moved in.
Brother Qi is still young, so he lives in the main courtyard with his parents. In such a large Governor's Mansion, only the main courtyard lives in the master, and the other courtyards are empty.
This time when Zhou Man and the others came, Cui simply arranged two courtyards for Bai Shan and the others to live in, while Man Bao and Zhou Liru lived in a small courtyard on the other side, separate from their two courtyards.
Their personal belongings were in the carriage, and the luggage cart was sent to the post station.
Cui Shi also prepared a lot of things for them. As soon as Man Bao arrived in the room, a girl brought clean clothes and water for bathing.
So Man Bao took a good shower and took a shower. When she came out of the bathtub yawning and sleepy, Cui made arrangements to sit and wait in the outer room.
She came out with only her underwear and her hair wet, Cui quickly said to the girl: "Quickly wipe her hair dry."
Immediately, a girl came forward to serve her, and another girl took a coat and put it on her.
Man Bao sat cross-legged on the couch and asked them to do it. He yawned and tears were about to come out, "Why is the sister-in-law here?"
Cui smiled and said: "Come here to see how you are doing. I was worried that you lost weight on the way, but who knows, it seems that you have regained some weight."
Previously, Zhou Man had been in Xiazhou for almost four months, and she had lost a lot of weight, and most of the baby fat on her face had gone, but after two months, she regained weight again.
Man Bao touched his waist subconsciously, it's okay, it's okay, although it's still fleshy, it's still a waist.
She said: "After I went back, I lived outside the palace for a while, and I could eat meals cooked by my sister-in-law every day. She made me a lot of soup."
Soup is very nourishing.
Cui reached out and pinched her cheek and said, "It's better to be fatter, but I was too thin before." Looking at it made her feel distressed.
Cui Shi is closer to Zhou Man than before, and Man Bao can feel it naturally, she smiled, and was about to fall asleep with drooping eyelids.
Cui saw her sleepiness and guessed that she must have been fumigated by hot water.
On the way, even if they don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, it’s inconvenient to wash. It took them nineteen days to arrive from the capital city to Xiazhou after an eight-day journey, so they probably didn’t wash up properly.
So Cui looked at the girls and gave them a wink.
Soon a girl came up with a quilt, spread a layer on the wooden couch, and let Man Bao lean on the soft pillow.
As soon as Man Bao leaned down, his eyelids drooped directly.
Cui sat for a while, and when she heard her long breathing, she knew she was asleep, so she got up and left.
Like her, there are many people who go to bed after taking a comfortable bath, and only Mr. Zhuang is in good spirits. After taking a bath, he sits in the yard and basks in the sun, waiting for Yang and Shu by the way.
Yang and Shu were busy until noon before finishing the urgent matters at hand. When they returned to the backyard, Man Bao and the others had already slept for more than half an hour.
Cui Shi poured him a cup of tea and said, "I see that they are all very sleepy, so they didn't let the kitchen do anything, and wait until they wake up to eat."
Yang Heshu nodded, "Alright."
Cui: "But Mr. Zhuang didn't fall asleep, he is basking in the sun in the yard now."
Yang Heshu got up and said, "Bring some lunch over. I'll eat with my husband and talk by the way."
Cui Shi agreed and asked someone to make some favorite food for them and send it over.
Mr. Zhuang wanted to know about the grassland situation with Yang Heshu.
Even a small broken station knows that life in the grassland is difficult this year, and Xiazhou, which has half of the grassland under its jurisdiction, naturally knows it better.
Yang Heshu said: "Smallpox is the most serious in Xiazhou City, but some people have also spread it to the grasslands. The land there is sparsely populated, so it is not easy to infect, but it is even more difficult to control the disease."
He said: "Some tribes are infected with the whole tribe once they are infected. There are not many medicines, and it is basically a disaster of extermination of the tribe. Therefore, life in the grassland this year is also a bit difficult."
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help asking: "Did the disease spread from Xiazhou?"
Yang Heshu nodded, "I've investigated, and the first case was indeed that orchid. She didn't get sick until she entered Xiazhou City, but..."
He raised his eyebrows and said: "I started to control the outflow of people after I knew there was smallpox, because there was a lack of medical care and medicine in the north, and fewer people went there. The reason why the disease was contagious was because some herdsmen came to Xiazhou City. Accidentally caught the disease and went back to spread the word, but I heard from a businessman from the Western Regions who came over from Yizhou recently that someone on the grassland over there also suffered from smallpox."
Mr. Zhuang learned more from Man Bao, he said: "Someone reported this to the Imperial Hospital, and Man Bao suspected that smallpox broke out in the two places at about the same time."
After a pause, Mr. Zhuang asked, "I don't know what the people on the grassland think about this at this time? To the Han people here in Xiazhou..."
Yang Heshu said: "They think smallpox is a punishment from heaven, a punishment for doing bad things."
He frowned tightly and said, "Although I didn't hate the Han people, several people died on the grassland for offering sacrifices."
Mr. Zhuang didn't speak for a while, and asked after a long time, "How is the situation now?"
"It's all over. The imperial court sent medicinal materials to the tribes and scattered people on the grassland three times before, all of which were formulated according to the prescriptions of the Tai Hospital. However, there are few doctors there, and the smallpox on the grassland seems to be more vicious. The survival rate Only 30%."
Yang Heshu said: "The most important thing on the grassland now is not the smallpox, but the snowstorm."
He said: "Xiazhou is fine, Yizhou, including Suzhou area, has snowed again some time ago."
Mr. Zhuang counted the time, "How come?"
Yang Heshu nodded, "This year's weather is not good, so the herdsmen on the grassland have a harder time, and because of this, they believe that this is God's punishment."
Mr. Zhuang stopped talking.
Yang Heshu could only remind, "Sir, you should be more careful this time. Bai Shan and the others are young after all, so they must be restrained so that no misfortunes come out of their mouths."
Yang Heshu doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas. He knows that Bai Shan is a few sectarians, but he doesn't believe in sacrifices.
A few young people are young and impulsive, and they are going to the grassland. If they accidentally encounter such a thing, they will not stand still, and it will be bad if something happens.
The grassland is different from the Central Plains. The imperial court basically has no control over the areas north of Fengzhou and west of Liangzhou. These places belong to the border towns. Officials basically only control the Han people in the city, and it is difficult to manage the herdsmen on the grassland.
If they had a conflict with the herdsmen, the officials on the imperial court's side would actually not have that much face.
Herdsmen still listen to the tribe more, and the tribe basically does not listen to court officials.
Mr. Zhuang nodded sternly, and he understood with a sullen face.
When Man Bao and the others woke up, it was already mid-afternoon, and Yang and Shu returned to the front to deal with official business, and even Mr. Zhuang took a rest to sit on the porch to read.
The six teenagers rubbed their stomachs and went out, feeling very hungry. The charming girl farms, the housewife is a pretty husband
