Chapter 281 Is Shen Pingwan here too?
When we arrived at the straw hut, the doctor was giving medicine to someone.
Shen Nankui did not disturb him and stood quietly outside waiting. When the doctor finished his work, he looked up and found her coming, and hurriedly saluted.
"Madam Zhou Zun, you are here."
Shen Nankui smiled and nodded, "Well, come and take a look, Doctor Zhao, how are you doing today?"
Doctor Zhao said, "Two of the patients were seriously injured, but they have recovered. The rest are not in any danger."
While he helped the injured man up, he reminded him, "Go back and rest. Change the dressing in two days. Be careful not to let the wound get wet."
At the same time, he brought out a chair and asked Shen Nankui to sit down.
The injured man limped to the door, glanced at Shen Nankui secretly, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to her.
The doctor hurriedly helped him up and scolded him, "You have a wound on your leg, what are you doing?"
The injured man scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled, "Zhou Zun and his wife have been very kind to us, I am just grateful in my heart..."
Yongzhou clearly has a geographical advantage and will not be affected by the flood, but the governor of Yongzhou is always thinking about the people. Not only has he been running around to make contacts for flood prevention matters, but he is now willing to take in refugees like them. How can one not respect him?
Shen Nankui said gently: "Recovering from your injuries is the most important thing. Go back and rest."
The wounded man said a lot of words of gratitude before leaving the shed.
After Shen Nankui sat down, he asked, "Doctor Zhao, there is one thing I would like to ask you to pay attention to."
Doctor Zhao asked, "Are you worried about the plague?"
Xingwen Temple had predicted this long ago, so he was not surprised.
Shen Nankui nodded and said, "Now that the flood has occurred, we have to prevent the plague. Otherwise, it will be more serious than the Biliu River bursting its banks."
There is still no news from the people sent to Yizhou to find Zhou Tongji, so now we can only take precautions early.
Doctor Zhao's face became more serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "Madam Zhou Zun is always thinking about the people. I will do my best to complete your instructions. Don't worry, I have carefully observed the entire shed area in the past few days, and there is no sign of an epidemic."
Shen Nankui nodded, "That's good. More and more people are fleeing to Yongzhou. I'll have to trouble Doctor Zhao to take care of everything. If you don't have enough manpower, just ask me. I can discuss the remuneration."
"Mrs. Zhou is so polite. I will do my best."
After saying that, Shen Nankui went for a walk around the shantytown outside the city before returning to Deshui Lane.
A Nao is more than eight months old. When she is placed on the bed, she can crawl back and forth several times by herself. When Shen Nankui returned, the two wet nurses were playing with A Nao. They put a rag doll at the other end of the bed and coaxed her to crawl over to get it.
After she gets it, put her favorite toy on the other side and encourage her to reach for it again.
Ah Nao's fair and tender face was full of smiles, and he giggled from time to time. For some reason, hearing the sound of a baby's laughter seemed to make people forget all their worries. Shen Nankui and He Hua couldn't help but smile.
Ah Nao was having fun, but when he looked up and saw Shen Nankui beside the bed, he stopped immediately and opened his short arms to her.
Shen Nankui smiled and hugged her.
Hehua picked up the tiger stuffed doll on the bed and said with a smile, "Our young lady loves the Madam the most. As long as the Madam is around, she won't want any toy she likes any more."
Shen Nankui put his face against his daughter's warm little face, with an unconcealable smile on the corner of his lips.
"Of course, otherwise how can mother and daughter be connected by heart?"
The nurse at the side was very good at joining in the fun. She smiled and taught Ah Nao how to speak, "Ah Nao, call me mother, this is mother---"
Ah Nao listened attentively, and his little mouth opened and closed along with the conversation, but only made "ah ah" sounds.
The nurse shook her head, "No, it's mother, dear."
Shen Nankui smiled, "Anao is still young, how can he learn to speak?"
He Hua reached out and gently pinched Ah Nao's cheek, and said with a smile: "Madam, what are you talking about? I think that you and the young master are both outstanding people, and your child must be extremely smart. Maybe he is really a child prodigy and can speak at an early age."
"What's so good about being a child prodigy?"
Shen Nankui looked at her daughter's face, her eyes full of love.
"I just want her to live a peaceful and happy life."
He Hua knew how difficult his wife's life was. Hearing this, he sighed softly, "Madam, don't worry. With you and the young master here, our Ah Nao will surely have a smooth life."
After playing for a while, Shen Nankui saw Ah Nao yawning, so she asked the nanny to carry her back to sleep.
When it was dark, Zheng Hui came forward to reply.
"Madam, I have heard that many of the people who fled outside the city are from the same town. It is said that they came to Yongzhou because they were guided by a goddess."
Shen Nankui asked: "What is the origin of this female fairy?"
The Biliu River burst its banks and the disaster occurred ahead of schedule. She had anticipated that victims would flock to Yongzhou, but she did not expect those people who came with food and their families to seek refuge.
Even if they wanted to seek refuge, they had many options, and they didn't necessarily have to come to Yongzhou. Especially with the rumors about the goddess fairy, she couldn't help but wonder if someone was pushing these things behind the scenes?
Zheng Hui said, "I heard from the people outside the city that this goddess seemed to be very accurate in predicting some things that were about to happen, so she said that coming to Yongzhou would ensure safety, and everyone listened to her."
"Divination?" Shen Nankui frowned, "Where did this goddess appear?"
Zheng Hui said, "It was in Liushan Town. Oh, by the way, someone said that he had seen her once at the post station where the Imperial Envoy, Marquis Jianning, stayed. Perhaps, Marquis Jianning had also heard of the reputation of this goddess, so he wanted to ask her some questions?"
Shen Nankui waved his hand, "I understand, you go down first."
The goddess who can predict the future and Marquis Jianning, when these two key words are put together, it is hard not to think of one person.
Could it be that Shen Pingwan is here too?
Marquis Jianning came all the way from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River as an imperial envoy, and he was willing to take her with him?
When Gu Yichuan entered the room, he saw that she was in deep thought and didn't even notice him approaching her, so he couldn't help but call her softly.
"Nan Kui?"
Shen Nankui said "hmm" and turned to look at him, "Are you back?"
Gu Yichuan sat down next to her, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
Shen Nankui asked: "When Marquis Jianning went south to serve as an imperial envoy, who else did he bring with him?"
Gu Yichuan said: "Some officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue, I am not sure."
Shen Nankui shook his head. "No, I mean, did he bring any family members with him, such as women?"
"Female family members?"
Gu Yichuan frowned slightly, then shook his head, "I have no way of knowing that, but I heard that when Marquis Jianning came to Jiangnan this time, he brought the prince with him and gave him a sinecure, supposedly to train him."
