Chapter 067: Honghui died of illness, and Qian Gege lay down
As I expected, it was calm, and I don't know if Degege didn't tell Yinzhen about it at all, or if Yinzhen really didn't take it seriously. Anyway, I continued to live a peaceful little life until June.
The June day was stuffy. Even if the ice cubes are divided, it has no effect.
Early in the morning on the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, as soon as I got up to freshen up, Xiao Shunzi came in and said that Honghui was not very good. I was shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Xiao Shunzi said: "Last night, Xiao Brother suddenly had a rash all over his body, and he had a high fever all the time, and he vomited whatever he ate. I asked the doctor to come over overnight for diagnosis and treatment, and said it was ......"
"What is the disease?" I heard Xiao Shunzi talk about the rash at the beginning, and the fever did not go away, thinking it was smallpox, and then I heard him say what to eat and vomit, I had a particularly bad premonition, and hurriedly grabbed his words and asked.
"The imperial doctor said that the little brother got a rotten throat" Xiao Shunzi's tone was a little heavy when he said this, which showed that the situation was not good.
Rotten throat sha is a Chinese medicine term for scarlet fever. It usually occurs in children between the ages of 2 and 15. The incubation period can reach 12 days, the onset is abrupt, generally accompanied by symptoms such as high fever, chills and sore throat, vomiting, anorexia and irritability, and rash generally appears within 12 to 24 hours of onset.
If Honghui is just ordinary scarlet fever, it can still be saved with traditional Chinese medicine. But if you follow the final fate of Honghui in history, I am afraid it will be a very dangerous one.
I didn't have time to delay any longer, so I hurriedly asked Xiaoshunzi to send a message to the front yard, and asked the steward to tell Yinzhen to go to see Honghui when he returned home. I'm worried that Yinzhen won't go again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the child for the last time. Then he took Wanqing and rushed to the courtyard of the Ulanala clan, wanting to see what he could do to help.
As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Wulanala clan, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, so he didn't care about the etiquette and walked straight to Honghui's house. When I entered the back room, I saw that the Wulanala clan was crying, and the imperial doctor knelt next to him and tried to feed the decoction, but every time he fed it, Honghui mostly vomited out.
"Can you bring me the recipe? I hurriedly saluted the Ulanala clan and turned to ask Mama Xu.
Mama Xu glanced at the Ulanala clan, saw that she was silent with tears in her eyes, and hesitated for a while whether to give it to me.
I didn't care about anything, I walked directly to Honghui's bed, looked at his rash, and then, regardless of whether the Ulanala clan objected or not, I opened Honghui's mouth and looked at his tongue, soft palate and throat.
After a simple look at it like this, my heart sank, and I turned around and walked to the Ulanala clan, who had already stood up nervously and looked at me, bowed to my knees, and said, "Little Brother's illness must be found by a foreign doctor as soon as possible, and I am afraid it will be too late if it drags on any longer." ”
Wulanala didn't speak, but the old lady next to him preemptively said: "Who are you, full of nonsense, the old man has been practicing medicine in the palace for many years, and he has never been on a business trip, and he is still somewhat sure of the little brother's illness, how can he ask those uncivilized foreigners for treatment." ”
When I heard this Tai Doctor say this, I was a little angry, and I retorted: "If you have never been on a business trip, why didn't you find out that Little Brother was infected with this disease before?"
The old lady was dumbfounded by my words, and turned to Wulanala and said, "Fujin Mingjian, the little brother did suffer from wind and cold before. Rotten throat sha is always an emergency, and it is extremely difficult to foresee it in advance. Where do we know how to treat the sick foreigners, if Fu Jin will listen to this woman's invitation to foreigners to treat the little brother, then I have to forgive the slave for this responsibility, and if there is any mistake in the future, don't blame the slave. ”
After the old lady doctor finished speaking, she pretended to leave, and the Wulanala clan suddenly became anxious, and scolded me urgently: "What is the identity of you, a dog minion, who dares to point fingers here, and if you want to make trouble, you will not retreat." Someone, blast her out for me. ”
I didn't expect to be kicked by a donkey, my heart was cold, I looked back at the sick inhuman child on the bed regretfully, and secretly said: "I'm sorry, I want to do my best, but I still can't save you."
Suppressing the desolation in his heart, he said to the Ulanala clan when he got up to leave: "If you can believe me once, hurry up and invite the foreign doctor to come, don't regret it until it's too late." ”
"I think you're just trying to curse little brother!" said Jiao Xing, who had never been at odds with me, beside her.
I glanced at the Ulanala clan and knew that it would be useless to say more, so I left the house without looking back.
All night long, I prayed that the Ulanala clan could come to the end like in the dog blood drama, and when I woke up and found a foreign doctor to treat Honghui, it is a pity that the dog blood plot does not appear often.
The next day, it happened to be the time when the last newcomer entered the house, because Honghui was not in good health, Xin Gege was directly exempted from etiquette when he entered the house, and he was placed first.
Near noon, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly entered the house, and said in a heavy tone, "Little brother - dead." “
Although I knew that this was the inevitable result, when I first heard the news, I couldn't hold back my tears and fell, remembering the first time I saw him, and his childish appearance when he read the Analects and the smile when he called me Aunt Geng rang in my ears.
That's it, life and death are fate, I wiped away my tears and said to Wanqing: "I want to copy some copy of the mantra for that child, you go and help me prepare pen and ink." “
was copying, and suddenly saw Xiao Shunzi enter the house again, and said: "Fujin sent someone to seal the courtyard of Xin Gege, saying that as soon as Xin Gege entered the mansion, he killed the little elder brother, and he was a disaster star in the Baylor Mansion. “
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me, but I felt that the Ulanala clan had done too unkindly. The Qian family, who had just entered the mansion, was given by Kangxi, and the time to enter the mansion was also a good day after the Ministry of Rites reported to Kangxi. These are not for the Qian family to decide, what does it have to do with her. The Wulanala clan himself didn't listen to my advice, and as a result, his son died, and now he doesn't deal with the quack doctor, or Zhang Luo Honghui's funeral, but instead angers a Gege who has just entered the mansion, if Kangxi knows, what will he think of Yinzhen and the people in his mansion, and if outsiders know, how will he arrange the affairs in Baylor's mansion.
I don't care what will happen to that Gege, but I care more about what the consequences will be for Yinzhen and Baylor Mansion.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly said to Xiao Shunzi: "Go to the front yard and tell the master, just say that I will keep this Gege, so that if he still cares about my thoughts, he must not agree to Fujin's request." Now I'm going to go to Qian Gege's courtyard in person, but I want to see what kind of calamity this disaster star Fu Jin is talking about. (To be continued.) )
