Chapter 83: This cup of tea doesn’t taste good to me
Qin Wenyuan snorted coldly and ran out.
Outside the door, the Dog was waiting for him.
Seeing Qin Wenyuan coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, something happened outside."
Qin Wenyuan seemed to have anticipated this. As he walked, he said calmly, "Let me guess. Has the news of my wife's smallpox been completely leaked?"
Xu Gou was stunned. What he was about to say was indeed this matter.
He couldn't have imagined that Qin Wenyuan would actually know it in advance!
"Yes, during the few hours you were with the young lady, the news outside was spreading like crazy."
"Many people in Chang'an now know that our young lady has contracted the terrible disease of smallpox, and have already stayed away from her."
"Of course, if it was just gossip, they wouldn't believe it all. The main reason is that the guards who confronted us before have already surrounded our Qin Mansion."
"Now we can only leave the Qin Mansion and the surrounding areas, but we can't enter!"
"It was the actions of the guards that convinced the people that our young lady was really infected with smallpox."
"The whole city has issued a decree now. The imperial guards have told the people not to get close to the Qin Mansion. Our Qin Mansion will be completely isolated in three days. By then, the people in our Qin Mansion won't even be able to leave!"
The words fell.
Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment.
The guards treated them the same way as ordinary smallpox patients and isolated them.
The only difference is that this time his Qin Mansion will be used as an isolation location, and the relaxation period given is not five days, but only three days.
This is a very good move. After all, it is Chang'an, and it is reasonable for them to be so cautious.
Qin Wenyuan was not opposed to this approach, so he did not intend to ask Wei Zheng for help again.
Moreover, even if Wei Zheng was willing to help, he felt that it would be impossible to ease the situation again.
After all, smallpox was such a terrible thing. In the face of such a situation, Wei Zheng had done his best by asking the imperial guards not to take Changle away by force.
The implementation of this isolation does not give Qin Wenyuan much optimism.
This would cause great damage to Qin's reputation, and many people would point at his spine and curse...
Because of you, the whole city is in turmoil!!
Because of your wife's smallpox, the whole city is in turmoil and worried all day long! !
It was also because of you, Qin Wenyuan, that for the sake of a dying lady, the imperial guards had to isolate the streets around the Qin Mansion in Chang'an, putting the entire Chang'an in danger! !
Qin Wenyuan has now expected to receive a lot of criticism.
After all, most smallpox patients were taken outside the city for isolation by the imperial guards and it was impossible for them to be in the city.
But does Qin care about these insults?
In Qin Wenyuan's opinion, the so-called reputation is not as important as his wife's life.
Qin Wenyuan accepted all the insults, bad reputation, and even being branded as an eternal sinner!
Qin Wenyuan snorted and said, "Xu Gou, let's not worry about this for now. The most urgent thing is for you to help me do two things first."
Upon hearing this, Xu Gou half-knelt and bowed, saying, "Master, please give me your orders!"
His action stunned Qin Wenyuan. Qin Wenyuan didn't understand why Xu Gou would kneel down to him!
Maybe, now is a crisis moment, and this is the dog's subconscious action.
A person's subconscious actions do not go through the brain and are extremely honest. They reflect a person's mental state and are also equivalent to a person's conditioned reflex actions.
Qin Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, but without thinking too much, he immediately ordered: "Wei Yang is still outside. Send a message to Wei Yang and ask him to get at least ten cows for me as quickly as possible."
"The second thing..."
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Please ask Mr. Liu Wenliu to come over for me. I need to see him for something."
"It's the early stages of quarantine now. Even though you can only go in but not out, you must... do everything you can to bring him to me!"
"I have something to ask him for help."
Xu Gou was shocked when he heard this. This was the first time he saw Qin Wenyuan give such a mandatory order.
"I understand, young master!" said Xu Gou.
"Um."
Qin Wenyuan nodded and said, "Go ahead, Dog. If you are not strong enough, Ox will help you secretly."
…
An hour later.
Liu Wen arrived at Qin's house.
When Liu Wenyi heard that Qin Wenyuan wanted to ask him for help, he cooperated very well and went to Qin's house with Xu Gou.
They took advantage of the early stage of quarantine when the guards outside were not yet large enough and returned to the Qin Mansion.
Qin Mansion, lobby.
As soon as Liu Wen saw Qin Wenyuan, he asked seriously, "Mr. Qin, why are you looking for me?"
"If there is anything you need my help with, I will definitely help you without further ado."
Qin Wenyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and stood up and made a "please" gesture, saying: "Master Liu, there is no hurry, please sit down first."
"After a long journey, I also specially prepared the best tea from ."
Liu Wen nodded and sat shoulder to shoulder with Qin Wenyuan across the tea tray.
In the tea tray, the finest Changyuan tea leaves have a faint fragrance, and the smell of tea alone makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"Master Liu, please drink."
Qin Wenyuan chuckled and took a sip of tea.
Liu Wen was surprised and said, "Mr. Qin, I have heard about the Qin Mansion. At this critical moment, you asked me to come here just to have tea and chat with me?"
Qin Wenyuan still said calmly: "There is no rush for that matter. After all, as the old saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
The corner of Liu Wen's mouth twitched. He couldn't have imagined that even when such a disaster was imminent, Qin Wenyuan could still remain so calm.
" Forget it, since Master Qin is not afraid, then as an outsider, I have nothing to worry about."
After saying that, Liu Wen also took a sip of tea.
"Lord Liu, what do you think of my tea?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
Liu Wen was amazed, "Good tea, good tea!"
"Let alone the taste, the other three tea shops in Chang'an can't even compare to the tea from your shop, Young Master Qin."
“This tastes so good!”
Qin Wenyuan shook his head and said, "I don't think it tastes good."
Liu Wen raised his eyebrows, "Master Qin, why is this?"
Qin Wenyuan sighed, "Perhaps, it's not a problem with the tea, but a problem with the people."
"After all, if I drink tea with my wife, even if I use unboiled water to make tea, I will find it sweet to my heart."
"But, if I drink tea with you, Lord Liu, even if it is the best tea, I will find it extremely unpalatable."
"So, Lord Liu, why is this happening?"
"Tell me, does this have anything to do with you leaking my imperial examination information to Yuheng?"
