Chapter 549: The Magic of High Wine
There was a sound of footsteps at the door in the distance, and everyone finally saw someone walking slowly.
It was a middle-aged man in ragged clothes, tall and burly, walking soundly, this man was eight feet tall, and he was a strong man in this era.
However, his face was obviously timid and restrained, and his body was a little thin and frightening. The first impression of this scene is that this person has not eaten enough for a long, long time.
But everyone's attention is not on the man, but on the weak woman he carries behind his back.
The woman's face was sallow, sallow and pale, and she was lying on her husband's back and hung her head and did not dare to look at anyone, wrapped in a shabby and blackened quilt.
It was the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and the weather was not warm but it was never cold, so she was still shivering wrapped in the quilt, obviously having been sick for a long time, so she was weak and intolerant of the cold.
It was this woman who was judged to have tuberculosis by the Hundred Horsemen at the door.
She was carried all the way by her husband, and the crowd rushed away wherever she passed, and every time the woman coughed lightly, the crowd suddenly panicked.
Han Yue watched from afar, and a sadness rose in his heart.
It's not that the people of Datang are not benevolent enough, but that the people are poor and don't dare to get sick. Everyone avoids women not because they hate her and hate her, but because they are afraid that they will contract tuberculosis and harm their families.
For example, this woman's husband is eight feet tall, but he is thin and thin, why he can't eat enough, the biggest reason is definitely not money.
The reason for not having money is also very simple, obviously not because the man is lazy, but because he bought all the money to buy medicinal herbs for his wife's treatment.
The money is used for treatment, so naturally he can't buy enough food, and even if he has food, he will let his wife eat it first, so the man will be hungry and skinny.
Han Yue suddenly let out a sigh and said softly: "In the past, I joked about poor things, but now I am in front of me. The clothes have been exhausted, and the cash box is still open. I can't bear to give up my old feelings, and I look forward to money every time I am sick. I sincerely know that everyone has this hatred, and poor couples mourn everything......"
"Good poetry!"
A few Confucian students around blurted out, couldn't help shaking their heads and repeating a few times, and suddenly felt that this poem was a little sad, and suddenly their faces turned pale and stopped talking.
The big Ru Cen Wenwen, who was originally hiding from the mutton steamed bun shop, sighed softly, and suddenly bowed to Li Shimin from afar, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty has a son like a saint, and his heart is merciful to heaven and man. Weichen wants to write a book to spread it to the world and teach the world to follow the example of King Zhao of Xifu. The poem just now contains a strong heart of compassion. ”
Li Shimin exhaled, his face was a little unnatural, the emperor was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "His compassionate heart is my difficult responsibility. It is already difficult to keep the people fed and clothed, and the Holy Emperor cannot afford to see the sick. ”
Cen Wenwen nodded his head and said gloomily: "What Your Majesty said is that illness is a demon in the world, it can hurt people, it can break the family, even if you have a lot of money, you are likely to fall ill." ”
Between the dialogue between the monarch and the minister, the ragged man had already approached slowly with his wife on his back.
He originally wanted to go forward again, but the woman on his back suddenly hugged his neck hard, and said softly and eagerly: "Xianggong, stop quickly, we can't hurt the nobles." It's already satisfying for the concubine to come in and take a look, so let's go home quickly with my husband behind my back......"
These words made everyone present feel sad for a while, and there was a bit of admiration and sympathy in the sadness.
The woman was so sick that she might die of tuberculosis one day, but her first thought was that she was afraid of infecting others, and she had to stop her husband from taking a few more steps.
Empress Eldest Sun had a soft heart, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but want to step forward to care for the woman, but suddenly a big hand stretched out next to her to hold her, but it was Li Shimin who shook his head at her.
Although he sympathized with the couple, the woman was sick after all, and the emperor was not ruthless when he stopped the eldest grandson, he was afraid that his wife would be infected with tuberculosis.
Han Yue smiled, suddenly beckoned to the man, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, even if you come here, although tuberculosis is contagious, just be careful." I see that your wife has a handkerchief tied around her mouth, and it is evident that you have been instructed by superior people to know that tuberculosis cannot cough at people......"
The man nodded again and again, and said in a low voice: "This noble man is right, the villain is instructed by others, so he covers his wife with a handkerchief at all times, and it is said that as long as the saliva does not fly in the air, even if it comes into contact with the patient, it will not be infected." ”
His tone suddenly darkened, and he said cowardly: "It's a pity that most of the neighbors don't believe us, and every time they see us, they stay away." Ah Xiu herself is also soft-hearted, for fear that she will bring disaster to others. Since the diagnosis of tuberculosis, Ah Xiu has not been out of the house for more than half a year......"
The man spoke in a cowardly tone, and with great restraint and timidity, but he spoke in a coherent manner, and did not seem to be the kind of uninformed earthman.
Such diametrically opposed performances can only be explained by one circumstance, that is, this man was not like this before, he was suppressed and tortured by a long difficult life, and finally developed a timid and cautious character.
His wife was even more timid on her back, and her thin hands stopped her husband vigorously, and whispered: "Xianggong, don't talk nonsense, we can't go over again." Even if you cover a handkerchief, you can't do it, and when the concubine can't hold it back, she will always cough......"
The man nodded again and again, and stood in place with his wife on his back.
Han Yue sighed and said softly, "Don't hide so far, if I say it's okay, it's okay." ”
He suddenly turned his head and drank lightly, and said loudly to the high liquor workshop not far away: "Is the Cheng family sister here?" Please bring a few jars of high wine ......"
There was a crisp yes, but seeing Cheng Wanwan coming over with a few little guys, this girl looked so happy that she didn't even care about tuberculosis, and said to Han Yue with a red face: "Your Highness called the little sister, oh oh oh yes, this is the high grade wine you want, and the six-year-old wine specially picked up by the little sister is the first batch to be brewed." ”
Han Yue smiled and said, "For disinfection wine, the difference between the year and the year is not big. But this king still wants to thank my sister, you have always been more generous than your father. ”
Cheng Wanwan smiled, and her little hand gently rubbed the corners of her clothes.
Han Yue stretched out his hand to take the wine jar from her hand, and then snorted lightly at Li Chengqian and Li Tai who were hiding in the distance, and said, "Don't hide so far, the more afraid you are, the more likely you are to die early." Now come over to me and spray wine everywhere with a jar. ”
"Spray wine, what are you doing?" The two named goods were a little dazed.
Li Chengqian shook his head weakly, and cautiously made excuses: "Big brother, the younger brother is free and kidney is deficient, and his health is very poor, I am not shirking your orders, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear tuberculosis." ”
Li Tai next to him hurriedly nodded his head and said: "The little brother is not in good health, you see that I am fat like this when I don't eat, some people say that this is also a disease, fat disease!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, come over to me!"
Han Yue was laughed at angrily by the two fools, and roared while carrying the wine jar, and said with angry eyes: "If you dare to push again, be careful to slap and serve." ”
His slap is not something that ordinary people can receive, Li Chengqian and Li Tai shuddered at the same time, remembering the incident of being beaten by Han Yue not long ago.
The two of them were sad and bitter, and suddenly they wept bitterly, knelt on the ground and wagged their tails to the eldest grandson and begged for mercy, and whimpered: "Queen Mother, look at the eldest brother, he wants us to get sick and die." ”
This time, the eldest grandson did not support Han Yue, but instead pleaded for the two sons, saying, "Yue'er, don't mess around, tuberculosis is not a joke after all." You have your own internal strength and are not afraid, but your two younger brothers are pampered. Even if you're looking for someone to spray wine, there are a lot of hidden horsemen here......"
Han Yue shook his head slowly, and said with a solemn face: "The world talks about tuberculosis and discoloration, why let the Baiqi Division do it." Erchen wants his two younger brothers to be with me today, and the royal family can't take the lead, how can I appease the fear of the people? ”
These words left the eldest grandson speechless.
Li Shimin next to him was thoughtful, and suddenly said: "Could it be that this wine spray can eliminate tuberculosis?" ”
Han Yue glanced at the emperor, shook his head with a smile and said, "No." ”
Li Shimin was stunned, and said a little angrily: "Since you can't, then why did you let your younger brothers get into danger?" There's something else to do about it, and I know you're not a purposeless character......"
Han Yue smiled and nodded: "What my father said is right, Erchen is indeed not untargeted. Let's tell you the truth, tuberculosis is contagious because there is a virus in the patient's saliva, which is difficult to see with the naked eye, but strong alcohol can kill it. ”
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "So you want to spray wine here to kill the virus that infects tuberculosis?" ”
The emperor stepped forward suddenly, stretched out his hand and took the jar of wine from the hand of a small servant, and said solemnly: "This matter is my share, the stinky boy is right, if you want to eliminate the fear of the world, the royal family must no longer be afraid, and I will do it with you to spray wine, so that the hundred horsemen will not achieve the propaganda effect." ”
Li Jiancheng strode out of the mutton steamed bun shop, stretched out his hand to a small guy holding wine and said, "Give the old man a jar too." Although I am the hidden prince, after all, I am also a royal person, if I can break the fear of the people, the old man will die without regrets......"
The emperor and Li Jiancheng stood up, and everyone present didn't dare to hide even if they were afraid, Li Chengqian and Li Tai gritted their teeth and stepped forward.
A moment later, all the royal family had a wine jar in their hands.
After all, there are few people in the imperial family, and doing this thing represents more significance than practical significance, and the real people who do things are the spies hidden in the crowd by the Baiqi Division, as well as those courtiers and officials who want to curry favor with the emperor.
No matter what, in short, hundreds of people gathered in the field in a short period of time, and the wine jar of the Cheng family's high wine shop was all empty, and everyone was waiting for Han Yue's instructions.
Han Yue suddenly gave an order and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone can disinfect ...... by spraying wine."
He threw his head back and poured his wine, then slammed it into the air.
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng next to him laughed, and at the same time picked up the wine jar and poured the spirits, and then spit into the air everywhere.
This scene slowly unfolded, and gradually turned into a massive operation.
The ragged man was full of tears, and suddenly turned his head to his wife and choked up, and said: "Ah Xiu, have you seen it, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty doesn't hide from you, the prince of the Tang Dynasty doesn't hide from you, we just fight the small people, and if we die before, we will die, but look at the ...... now."
He choked up and couldn't say any more, tears rolling down his face.
After years of suffering and suffering, I was already bent down by life, and suddenly enjoyed the feeling of being valued, and suddenly felt really good.
……
…… Today's fourth update, 11,000 words, I can't imagine that the landscape can also be ten thousand changes, and I suddenly feel that life is full of strength. The big guy gives me some support, even if it's a compliment.
