pamper you, make you bad

On the way back home, a few people stopped when they passed the pharmacy.

Xiao He took the lead and said: "Miss, the sun is a bit fierce these days, you'd better rest in the carriage, and the servants can get down."

Xi Yutong was really upset and irritable because of the heat, and it was nothing serious to buy some medicine, so he nodded.Seeing Xiaotao's restless eyes rolling back and forth, he also waved his hand, "You can go too."

Xiaotao stuck out her tongue, feeling embarrassed on the contrary, said with a smile: "Young maidservant should stay here and take care of Miss." As she spoke, she continued to fan her.

Xi Yutong didn't force her, she closed her eyes and rested after saying "um".

Xiaotao is a fast talker, seeing her sullen appearance, she thought of something interesting to say, thought for a while, and then laughed.

The carriage was very quiet, and the crisp laughter was very conspicuous.Xi Yutong looked up at her: "What are you laughing at?"

"Your maidservant recalled what I heard yesterday, it was about the Liu Mansion." Xiaotao kept a secret, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear the person on the other side ask what was going on, so she couldn't help flattening her mouth, "Miss!"

Xi Yutong said "hmm" before asking lazily, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Tao didn't care that she was forced out, she immediately smiled and continued, "I heard that Miss Liu was frightened when she returned home the night before."

Xi Yutong straightened up and became interested: "Why are you so scared?"

"It seems that a lot of rats and cockroaches died at the gate of Liu's mansion." Xiaotao muttered, "The weather is so hot now, it must have died from the sun. But the servants of Liu's mansion are really lazy, and the dead mice are not dealt with in time. , and scare my young lady." Speaking of this, she hastily expressed her heartfelt heart, "Miss, don't worry, the servant girl told the cleaners to pay attention to clean up yesterday."

Xi Yutong frowned: "Is it so hot these days?"

The place where she strode was covered by bamboo forests, and there was a breeze blowing, so she didn't really feel that hot, and it was only today that she noticed the change in the weather.

"Miss, I didn't lie to you." Xiaotao said as she opened the curtains, and there was a sudden heat in the carriage, "Miss, look, it's so hot that there are not many people on the street."

Xi Yutong saw that there were not many people in sight, and there were a lot fewer people setting up stalls on the street, only a few small vendors with umbrellas left, but even so, they were still sweating.

It wasn't long before they came out of Prince Yi's Mansion, and it was still in a busy market, so there were so few people, it was really unusual.

Xi Yutong put down the curtains, something flashed through his mind, and asked: "We were also so hot the past two days? How long has it been hot?"

Xiaotao shook her head: "It's only these two days that it suddenly became hot."

Xi Yutong asked again: "Is this year hotter than ever?"

"It seems to be a little hotter than before." Xiaotao nodded her chin, thinking about the past years, "I remember, it was a bit cold in early October last year, and even my servant caught a cold. In order not to infect the young lady, you invited two Holiday." Because of illness, she took two days off and went back home, so she knew it very well.

Xi Yutong waved her hand to make her quiet, and closed her eyes to reread what Xiaotao said.

The mice in the Liu Mansion were sunburned to death, and the weather was hotter than ever.

Hotter than ever.

hot……

She remembered that the days before the locust plague were also unusually hot, even hotter than in previous years, and then there was another heavy rain.On the second day after the rain stopped, there was news of a plague of locusts in Huafu.

Xi Yutong opened her eyes suddenly, and grabbed the people around her in a panic: "Xiao Tao, let's go home immediately."

Xiaotao was startled: "Don't wait for Xiaohe to buy the medicine before going back?"

Xi Yutong couldn't sit still, but Xiao He was probably too tired to walk back in such a hot weather, so he said, "Go and ask how long it will take, try to hurry up."

Xiaotao noticed her anxiety, nodded, bent over and opened the curtain to go out.

Watching Xiaotao's back leave, Xi Yutong let out a sigh of relief.

She remembered that the locust plague in the last life was in the middle of the month, and it would take more than a dozen days at the earliest.However, she also remembered that before the locust disaster, there were five consecutive days of hot weather, and many people in the capital suffered from heat stroke at that time.It's just that no one thought that this was a sign before the locust plague came. It was not until the locust plague happened that these two things were connected.

Although it is only three days now, the weather has already heated up, and it must be earlier than before.

Xi Yutong was a little flustered, wondering if it was his own fault that caused the time of the locust plague to change, and he was even more worried that it would indirectly change other things.

Because there were a lot of medicinal materials, it took a full cup of tea before Xiaotao and Xiaohe got into the carriage with two big bags of things.

Xi Yutong helped to take it and put it aside, the originally spacious carriage suddenly became narrow: "Why are there so many?"

"My servant thought that Miss could take it today, so I bought it three times, and let the store deliver the rest to my home." After Xiaohe explained, she said, "Miss, this medicinal material...is indeed a bit expensive."

Xi Yutong looked at her suspiciously, "How much is a piece of silver?"

Xiaohe raised a finger.

Xi Yutong raised her eyebrows: "Ten taels?"

Xiao He shook her head and put down her hand: "100 taels."

Xiaotao just helped with the things, and didn't pay attention to how much money she gave, so she gasped when she heard this: "So expensive?"

You must know that ordinary people only spend a few taels of silver for food and clothing in a month, and this 100 taels of silver can make them eat and drink without worry for several years.

Xiaohe knew some medical principles, so she knew that the price was not exaggerated, and explained: "Some medicinal materials here are aged, such as the hundred-year-old Shouwu, etc., so it is indeed the price."

Xi Yutong didn't expect it to be so expensive.This time 100 taels, two days a day is 200 taels.If you can realize it in three days, that's okay, if you can't realize it all the time, then the money is a bottomless pit.

If he said before that he didn't want to lose to the six-year-old Feng Yuyi, now he just wanted to save some money.Drinking twice a day is 200 taels, who doesn't feel bad?

"It's fine, just buy it." Although Xi Yutong's flesh hurts, in order to learn lightness kung fu and internal kung fu, he had to be ruthless.The most important thing is that now the two porcelain workshops can earn hundreds or thousands of taels a day, and she can still support this little pain.

Seeing her changing expression, Xiaotao asked, "Miss, are you going home?"

Xi Yutong came back to her senses, remembered what she was anxious about just now, and nodded quickly.

The carriage gradually returned to Taishi's mansion in Xi Yutong's anxious mood.

When Xi Yutong got out of the carriage, he saw that the horse looked dispirited even after exhaling, then he looked up at the fierce sunlight, and told the driver to feed the horse more water, and then hurried into the mansion.

Back in the courtyard, Xi Yutong's anxious heart gradually calmed down, and he ordered the two of them: "Xiaohe, prepare a pen and ink for me. Xiaotao, go and see Daddy..." Thinking about it, it's hard to explain it, but the locust plague is really serious. Important, she gritted her teeth, "If Daddy is here, please invite Daddy to come over."

The big deal is to just find an excuse to fool the past. Even if the other party doesn't believe it, if she doesn't say that she was reborn, who can guess?Even if he told him, no one would believe him.

After ordering the two of them, Xi Yutong asked the other maids to take care of her and simply wash up before starting to write.

If it goes well, Feng Yuyi will already be in charge of prevention at Huafu by this time.She told the other party before that it was in the middle of the month. If the locust plague really came early and the other party didn't know, it would be bad.

She briefly explained the situation, but she was finally worried and wrote "Remember to be careful" before putting down the pen.Put the paper in the envelope and hand it to Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, you send this letter to Prince Yi's Mansion, and ask Mr. Xin to arrange for someone to deliver it to the prince quickly. The sooner the better, it must be delivered within two days." .”

Now the weather has changed for two days. If it is really as hot as the five days before the locust plague in the previous life, then there are only two or three days left before the locust plague arrives.

She knew that it was a long way from Huafu to the capital, but it only took two days for Feng Yuyi to send her a letter, so there must be a special method to deliver it quickly within two days.Right now, we can only hope that the people in Yiwang's Mansion can really deliver this letter to Feng Yuyi within two days, so as to speed up the time and take precautions.

Seeing her anxious expression, Xiaohe didn't know what was written in it, but she knew it was extremely important, so she took it, said it, and left quickly.

Not a while after Xiaohe left, Xiaotao came back, "Miss, your lord is here."

Xi Yutong got up and walked out from behind the desk, "I'm talking to Daddy, Xiaotao, you go out first."

"Yes, Miss." Knowing that the two of them had something to talk about, Xiaotao hurriedly backed out and closed the door behind her.

Xi Yutong took a look, pulled her father to sit down beside her, poured him a cup of tea, sat down, and then said: "Daddy, do you think it's been hot these two days?"

Xi Hongbo didn't know why she brought this up, but he nodded anyway, "This year is hotter than usual, and today His Majesty has come down earlier than usual because of this."

Xi Yutong had already thought up his words just now, so he said it: "Father, could this be a sign before the locust plague comes?"

Xi Hongbo shook his hand holding the teacup and spilled some tea, but he didn't care about it, and asked, "You mean... the drought will cause locust plagues?"

Xi Yutong hesitated and said: "It is recorded in the book that there was a heavy rain before the locust plague came, and before that there was a big sun that lasted for several days. Do you still remember?"

Xi Hongbo recalled, his face darkened.

"Father, I'd rather believe it than nothing." She said, "The weather was abnormal yesterday, and today is the second day. I don't know when it will rain, and then..."

Needless to say, Xi Hongbo can also imagine the picture, the locusts are overwhelming, and the crops are not spared.Without food, it is naturally difficult for the people to survive.

Xi Hongbo couldn't sit still, he put down his teacup tremblingly and got up: "My father is entering the palace to face the Holy Father, so we must be prepared no matter what."

Xi Yutong nodded, got up and sent him out, seeing that the sun was so vicious, he ordered Xiao Tao to give him an umbrella, and then let him leave.

On the other side, Xiaohe sent the letter to Prince Yi's mansion, and then handed it over to the old doctor, "Mr. Xin, Miss said that this letter is very important, and I told you to send it to the prince as soon as possible."

The old doctor took the letter and called out: "Anqi, hurry up and send this business to Lord Huafu immediately."

A black figure quietly appeared next to them, took the letter, and nodded at Xiaohe.

Xiao He looked calm, and nodded to greet the other party, "Excuse me, this letter is very important, remember to rush to deliver it to the prince."

Dark Seven nodded.

Xiao He had nothing else to do with entrusting the letter, and left after having a conversation with Mr. Xin.
