Chapter 397: Smallpox

These days in the capital, people are panicking because of the plague in Jiangzhou, for fear that refugees from Jiangzhou will come and bring the plague to the capital.

Later, the news came out of nowhere, saying that Jiangzhou County had closed the city gate and did not release a single person out of Jiangzhou, and many people were relieved.

But then came the scolding, the pestilence, but the gates of the city were closed and not allowed to enter or exit, and it did not take long, only a day or two, and the plague would soon spread like the inexhaustible weeds.

The people are talking a lot, but the officials don't dare to speak, this time the matter is serious, anyone can see the greasy, dare not touch the mold of Emperor Qian, the six departments are even more unusually cooperative, the six princes will give food if they want food, and they will allocate silver to silver, not to mention the words of the military department, Su Zhiyuan is a staunch royalist, Emperor Qiandi has opened his mouth, and he has never had to cooperate.

Fortunately, it is already July, and the weather is not cold, except for the silver and food for disaster relief, and the medicinal materials used to treat the plague, there is no need to prepare clothes.

Plague was a very difficult disease in ancient times, what is the situation in Jiangzhou, and now no one knows that when the three princes leave, in addition to food, silver, and medicinal materials, they must bring some doctors over.

It's just that this is a plague, not another disease, so dangerous, not to mention the folk doctors, even the doctors of the Tai Hospital are reluctant to go, and when the three princes are about to set off, they have thought of ways to see how to avoid this disaster.

The three princes have long expected this, these days they are busy getting rid of Nanyu and going to the Lan family to find a prescription for treating the plague, and it didn't take much effort to find several prescriptions, so they didn't ask Emperor Qiandi for help, and went to the Lu Yuan to judge, and took the apprentice Bi Chun of the Lu Yuan and the palace doctor in the Three Princes' Mansion, waved his sleeves, and set off to Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is also a month's journey from the capital, the third prince took the waterway, but it was much faster than usual, and it took less than a month to arrive in Jiangzhou, and it took a lot of effort to finally open the city gate and enter the city.

"The third prince has already arrived in Jiangzhou?" Xiao Jiu touched her belly, the fetal movements have become more and more frequent recently, which also makes her miserable, and there is an illusion that the child is about to burst his stomach and run out by himself at any time.

"Well, the letter sent yesterday quickly, the death toll in Jiangzhou alone this time has reached one-third, and there are many infected with the plague, if it weren't for the urgency of the three princes, I'm afraid that half of the population of Jiangzhou would die in this plague. ”

The situation is much more serious than Yan Xi imagined, especially since all the officials in Jiangzhou were killed in this incident, so it will be a little troublesome to investigate in the future.

Xiao Jiu was only forced by his family to drink traditional Chinese medicine once or twice when he was in SARS, and he had never seen this kind of large-scale death due to disease, which always sounded a little frightened.

"The plague has been controlled, but the situation is still a little troublesome, and in two or three months, the third prince is afraid that he will not be able to come back. ”

"I can't come back in two or three months? next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the three princes can't come back, and if something like this happens, the palace is afraid that it won't be in the mood for the Mid-Autumn Festival." Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, so she didn't need to go to the palace to attend the banquet with a big belly that was about to give birth.

The belly is getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Jiu is getting harder and harder, although she also cares about the affairs of Jiangzhou, but in fact, she is not in much mood to pay attention to these, recently, her legs are swollen very much, she is a person who is afraid of pain, she often feels aggrieved because of unwarranted trivial things, and her eyes are full of tears, not to mention that Yan Xi is distressed, that is, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Chen both look at her very pitifully.

"Is my sister still in pain?" Xiao Chen seems to have grown up a lot overnight since Xiao Jiu became pregnant, and he knows that he cares about his sister, and he often shushes Xiao Jiu and asks for warmth, as if he is also a little warm man, which also makes Xiao Jiu moved to tears.

"It doesn't hurt too much. Xiao Jiu couldn't be aggrieved by Xiao Chen, so he pretended to be strong and touched his stomach and smiled: "When the baby is born, my sister won't hurt." ”

Xiao Chen didn't understand why it took so long to give birth to a baby, and it hurt so much, but seeing that his sister's legs hurt and she couldn't walk, Xiao Chen also felt so distressed, and her nose was itchy and wanted to cry.

Mrs. Xiao has only given birth to one child, and she was pregnant at the time, and her reaction was not as serious as Xiao Jiu's, her granddaughter was delicate and delicate, and sometimes the old lady felt that no matter how big her granddaughter's belly was, she could break her waist.

"Bear with me a little longer, it's been more than eight months, and there isn't much time left. ”

The old lady is also distressed, but women give birth to children like this, and they can't bear it, what else can they do?

"I know. Xiao Jiu said slowly: "Fortunately, it's not two, otherwise such a big belly, I guess it's too painful than now." ”

"You are the first child, the second child is fine, I don't know what your mother's situation was at the time, she is a woman who has given birth to three children, she has rich experience, your mother is here another day, you also ask, if it is so hard to get pregnant again, then how can you get it?"

The old lady is also helpless about this, after all, it is a woman's duty to give birth to an heir, and everyone comes over like this, there is no way to avoid it.

"My body is much stronger than my mother's, but this reaction is too big. Xiao Jiu thought that her physique should not be too hard, but the result was completely opposite, but it made her suffer a lot.

The two grandparents talked about getting pregnant, and somehow talked about the plague in Jiangzhou, and the old lady sighed: "How terrible this plague is, in Peach Blossom Village, if anyone gets smallpox, it is a fatal thing, not to mention the plague." ”

"Grandma, have I ever had smallpox?" Xiao Jiu had been vaccinated all his life, and he didn't know what chickenpox was like.

"I don't know if you ever had smallpox before, but when you came to the village, like Ah Chen, you didn't have smallpox. ”

"Then isn't it possible for me to have smallpox in the future?" Xiao Jiu was suddenly shocked, knowing that chickenpox in adults is much more dangerous than in children.

"Some people don't have smallpox all their lives, and you're scaring yourself. The old lady glared at Xiao Jiu angrily.

"Yes. Xiao Jiu doesn't know this, after all, modern people have dozens of vaccines to be vaccinated alone.

"You're almost born, and you don't know what you're thinking all day long. ”

Xiao Jiu was very aggrieved, "Isn't this a casual chat, or did you mention smallpox yourself, why is it my fault?"

"Then I won't talk about it later. The old lady was quick to change her tune.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, the Lan family has so many medical books, I'll go another day to see if there is any treatment for smallpox, so I'm not afraid." Xiao Jiu thought happily.
