Chapter 263 will also hurt

Qiu Chen turned back from Erkui's house, and Old Man Mu had already caught seven or eight big fish. Qiu Chen personally cooked and made a whole fish feast, pearl fish balls, boiled fish, fish head tofu pot, fish meat cakes...... Not only did Old Man Mu feast on his mouth, but the family also liked it.

After lunch, Qiu Chen sat with Tang Wenyong and Old Man Mu in the front yard and discussed the 'cowpox' matter. From the source, extraction, and maturation of vaccinia vaccinia, to various precautions for vaccination, we are prepared for possible illnesses and reactions......

While discussing, Qiu Chen took a goose feather to record. She practiced shorthand especially for her lectures at university, and now she was able to write down quickly and unmistakably no matter how fast she spoke, but what she recorded could not be understood by anyone but her, and she used many alternative characters to speed it up......

After the discussion, it was almost dinner time, Qiu Chen took the record and went back to the house to sort it out, this time Qiu Chen used a brush, the speed was much slower, and he couldn't rush it.

There are no two pages in the record, and it was rumored that Erkui rushed back, and reported at the gate that Erkui had rushed back, and he came to see it.

"Why is he still here like that...... Qiu Chen said halfway, but he paused again and sent Qingxing out, "Go ahead and tell Zhao Jiu, send someone to follow Erkui over, and arrange something first." ”

Qingxing agreed.

Qiu Chen sighed, continued to take the pen to tidy up, Fu'er Man'er came back, Qiu Chen didn't care about it, and hurried to make a draft at the end of the unitary time, directly asked for the cloak to wear, took the draft and hurried forward. Tang Wenyong's schedule was tight, and he could only delay it for one day, and they had to sort out the 'cowpox rules' that night.

In the front yard, Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong accompanied Old Man Mu to drink two glasses of wine, Old Man Mu was too drunk to go back to the house to rest, only Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong sat opposite each other.

"...... the 'pox' thing comes out again, it's a bit too much......" Tang Wenyong groaned with a teacup.

Qin Zheng bowed his jaw, "First put on an excerpt, and try it out in the Tai Hospital...... It's going to take a year and a half to ......."

"That's pretty much it." Tang Wenyong smiled, pointed to the crooked glass vase on the windowsill and said, "Where did you get this?" You put something like this here......"

Qin Zheng glanced at him and said lightly: "It was burned by the Yang family." ”

Tang Wenyong, who was about to say a few words, suddenly got stuck, and then the door curtain was picked up from outside, and Qin Yi returned: "Madame is here!" ”

Tang Wenyong nodded at Qin Zheng and leaned over quickly: "You hurt me!" ”

Qin Zheng's kung fu is very good, and his ear power is naturally much stronger than him, maybe the woman heard it before she entered the house, and she didn't even remind her! It must have been on purpose!

Qin Zheng raised his eyes to look at him and did not refute.

Qiu Chen lowered his head slightly and walked in, and saw Qin and Tang sitting opposite each other, his eyes falling on her in unison...... It's just that there is a slight difference in the eyes of both of them?!

Blinking, Qiu Chen smiled and handed the stack of paper in his hand to Tang Wenyong: "I've sorted it out, you see, there is anything that needs to be changed and added." ”

Qin Yi quickly brought Qiu Chen a cup of tea, looked at Qin Zheng, lowered his eyes and replied rigidly: "The Yufeng girl next to Madame came over and asked, when will Madame set the meal." ”

Qiu Chen was about to answer, but Qin Zheng was already frowning: "Haven't had dinner yet?" ”

Seeing that his face was serious, and the compelling momentum naturally exuded, Qiu Chen nodded subconsciously, and was about to say that he would go back to the backyard for a while, but he heard Qin Zheng already instruct: "Let them send Madame's food here, and use it here." ”

Qin Yi did not hesitate to retreat and pass the word.

"Actually, there's no need to bother......" In this room, Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong had obviously already finished eating, and then put the meal here, several pairs of eyes stared at her own food, it was really awkward, Qiu Chen opened his mouth to stop Qin Yi.

Tang Wenyong turned his gaze away from the paper and stopped: "Send the food here, we can discuss it slowly if we have anything to say." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qiu Chen couldn't object. After all, the 'cowpox' thing is important!

"It's good!" The opposition was invalid, and Qiu Chen casually agreed.

Tang Wenyong blinked an eye, and saw Qin Zheng's face softened suddenly, raised his eyebrows slightly, grinned silently, and then completely ignored Qin Zheng's angry eyes, lowered his eyes with a smile and continued to look at the information compiled by Qiu Chen.

Yufeng got Qin Yi's message, and although she agreed, she couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Although the two masters who lived in the front yard had never emphasized it, the specifications of their daily lives were much higher than those of the serious masters, and they were also speculating about Qiu Chen's meaning everywhere, and they were all very careless. Now, it is rumored that Jean will put his wife's dinner here...... But you can't let those two masters just do it, right?

Although she felt embarrassed in her heart and wondered how her wife could give such an order, Yufeng didn't dare to hesitate for half a minute, so she hurried to the big kitchen in the backyard to spread the word.

When she arrived at the big kitchen, Yufeng whispered to Daxing's house and told her what was going on, and she was embarrassed: "Mother, look at this ......"

The Daxing family was much calmer, patted Yufeng's hand and said, "It's okay to prepare a night snack for those two, but it's just to send it over a little earlier." Don't think about it, since you can pass the word out, it must be with the consent of the lady. ”

Yufeng heard that what her mother said was reasonable, so she put her mind at ease, carried the food box by herself, and the mother-in-law in the kitchen held a small copper hot pot and went to the front yard together.

When he arrived at the front yard, there was no need to wait, Qin Yi directly lifted the door curtain and reported inside: "Madame's dinner has been delivered." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at the room, and got up straight to go to the armchair under the kang.

Qin Zheng moved in, and commanded, "Put it up!" ”

Qiu Chen was stunned halfway, turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, who had moved to the kang, and Tang Wenyong, who was looking at him expectantly with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "You guys...... Let's have some more to eat! ”

"Hehe, we are not outsiders, how can you be so polite." Tang Wenyong smiled and put the paper in his hand on the kang, lit the kang table and said, "Put it here...... Oh, and hot pot...... Fish soup again? It's so fresh! ”

Qiu Chen smiled helplessly, turned around and instructed Yufeng to put dinner on the table, while looking at the soup base that was pouring into the copper hot pot, and said with a smile: "It's not fish soup, it's clear soup...... Wen Yong likes fish soup, do you want to ask in the kitchen? ”

Tang Wenyong waved his hand very well, came up, and looked at the soup in the pot that was as light as water and yellowish as tea with a smile, "No, no, I just said it, I'm not an outsider, uh, he's not an outsider either, you don't have to be so polite, we can just eat this, it's excellent!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at Tang Wenyong who smiled and fished out a fish ball and threw it into his mouth, he had just eaten dinner for a while, as for being hungry like this? He's wonderful, they're all wonderful, she's not good! Looking at it like this, I'm afraid the dinner for one person sent is not much for her!

With the food delivered, Qiu Chen's face was less depressed, but Tang Wenyong was even more happy. The Lin family usually looks unruly, but the food delivered tonight is extremely suitable - not to mention that the amount of food is enough, and three sets of utensils are specially sent up, obviously counting him and Qin Zheng.

Tang and Qin all adhered to the principle of 'eating without words', and Qiu Chen also ate a dinner silently. Because I was a little too hungry, I didn't feel too hungry, so I just drank a bowl of clear soup, ate a few fish balls, and two palm-sized vegetable pancakes, and put down my chopsticks.

Looking at Qiu Chen putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Qin Zheng raised his eyes and looked at it, raised his hand and handed the bowl of chicken bean curd in front of him to Qiu Chen: "This is smooth and easy to melt, and it won't accumulate food...... When you miss a meal, you don't feel hungry at this time, but if you don't eat well, it hurts your spleen and stomach. ”

Qiu Chen looked at the chicken bean flower placed in front of him, and was stunned and couldn't react. Tang Wenyong looked at Qin Zheng with bright eyes, and then at Qiu Chen, who was obviously at a loss, opened his mouth, didn't say anything after all, lowered his eyes and continued to eat his own things.

"Eat it, I'll eat something else, and I'll eat more." Qin Zheng has never cared about anyone who is considerate, let alone serving food to others, the first time he did this, but he still couldn't get a reaction from the person concerned, he was really a little shocked, and subconsciously explained, but even he didn't notice the apprehension and nervousness in his tone.

Tang Wenyong didn't even raise his eyes this time, pursed his lips, shook his head silently, lowered his eyes and continued to eat.

After Qin Zheng's explanation, Qiu Chen finally reacted. This one cares about her! Although this concern is really surprising and unexpected...... However, Qiu Chen accurately grasped the stiffness and awkwardness in Qin Zheng's words...... Well, although she has lost her mother since she was a child, she has really grown up surrounded and served by countless people, and I am afraid that she has never cared about anyone, and she may be able to get this care, she may be ...... Infinite joy and gratitude?

Well, she can't do that!

But no matter how you say that people are also kind, it would be too rude for her to refuse or be too cold!

Raising his eyes, he looked at Qin Zheng, who was pursing his lips and frowning, and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome." As he spoke, he unceremoniously picked up a small bowl and ate it slowly. What she didn't see, Qin Zheng's stiff face obviously relaxed, and her frowning brows also stretched.

After eating, Yufeng and Qingxing came up to remove the leftovers, Qin Yi immediately re-brewed tea and sent it up, Qiu Chen, Tang Wenyong, and Qin Zheng drank tea to discuss the issue of information. There was nothing Qin Zheng did in this regard, but Qiu Chen didn't plan to hide anything from him, so he didn't think of going elsewhere. She didn't say anything, and Tang Wenyong wouldn't shy away from Qin Zheng.

Tang Wenyong and Qiu Chen discussed most of the technical issues of 'planting cowpox', but they didn't pay much attention to operability.

When the two of them had almost discussed, Qin Zheng said lightly: "Someone has to do this kind of cowpox, so it will cost money...... But if the price is too high, I am afraid that many people are reluctant to plant, or have no money to plant...... If you want to really spread out this thing, you have to think about the money thing, and try to keep the cost as low as possible! ”

At the mention of silver money, the joy on Tang Wenyong's face froze, and he lowered his eyes to hide all kinds of complicated emotions. In the past few years, northern Xinjiang has not been peaceful, and there have been wars every year. Last year, the northern Xinjiang was finally pacified, but the southwest Yi rebelled again...... There are also disasters in various places that will not be less every year, and taxes must be reduced...... There is no time when the household department does not cry poor. The matter of planting cowpox is really good governance that benefits the country and the people, and is harmless, but what Qin Zheng mentioned is also the truth, if the money spent on pox is a little more, many people may not be able to afford it, or they are reluctant to plant pox; If there is a subsidy from the national treasury...... Not to mention free, even if the price is lowered, this subsidy is also indispensable...... Looking at it this way, it was originally a good governance act for the benefit of the country and the people, but it has become chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is reluctant to abandon it......

Qiu Chen obviously didn't expect this, and subconsciously said: "With such a measure, it is best to vaccinate the children for free...... As long as it is promoted, in a few years, this dynasty can eliminate the ravages of 'smallpox' and 'pox'! ”

As soon as these words came out, the sadness on Tang Wenyong's face deepened, he raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chen, and then looked at Qin Zheng, who still looked indifferent, and snorted: "It is best to reduce the cost of vaccination, or even free vaccination, I also know it...... It's just that the money is on the ...... Alas, where did I get so much silver two subsidies, and the vaccination was popularized, and the amount of silver needed was not a small amount. ”

Qiu Chen's eyes widened, his gaze turned a few times on Tang and Qin, and he could only be silent. One city and one place, maybe she can come up with some way, but the vaccination matter is concerned about the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is related to millions or tens of millions of children...... She didn't have anything to think about...... Oh, no, vaccination is not a one-time thing, and at the same time, large-scale promotion can't be done, so let's start with people who can afford it and have a strong sense of epidemic prevention. When these people have been vaccinated with cowpox and the effect is confirmed, the number of people who will follow up will definitely increase...... The last ones that fall are really useless, and then they will be subsidized for free...... At the very least, the financial pressure is much less.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "You guys are thinking too much, this cowpox vaccination is not a one-time thing......"

After saying what she was thinking, Qin Zheng's expression was fine, although his expression was a little more relaxed, and his expression did not change much. Tang Wenyong threw away the distress on his face and laughed easily: "You really can't be in a hurry...... It's best to take it step by step. ”

After discussing this, Qiu Chen and Tang Wenyong checked the 'cowpox rules' again, even if Qiu Chen completed the task, the rest of the work was just copying, and Qiu Chen's word would not be used.

After saying goodbye to the two and turning back to the backyard, Qiu Chen washed up in a relaxed mood, went to the kang with Afu Aman, told stories and slept.

Erkuiniang didn't go over after all, Erkui came back in the evening, Erkuiniang has been unconscious, and she swallowed her breath when it was dawn the next day.

Early in the morning, when Qiu Chen got the news, he instructed Zhao Jiu, and listened to the arrangement of the village elders in the village, when he needed the Lin family to do something, he did his best.

Tang Wenyong ate breakfast early, and left with his escort servant. Qin Zheng didn't seem to have anything to do, and continued to stay in the Lin family.

On the same day, after the discussion of the elders of the village, a carriage was sent to Anyang Mansion, and when the Erkui's family and the bolts, stones, and October were all brought back, it was already the evening of the next day. Qiu Chen went to see Erkui's family in the past, took Xiao October, who had just turned one year old, to the Lin family, and asked Lan Ying and the Qingshan family to take care of Erkui's family and the two children......

No matter what the character of Erkui Niang was during her lifetime, death is great, and filial piety is most respected at this time, and it is necessary for Erkui's family to cry and mourn her mother-in-law, and this is the only thing she can do.

Erkui's family saved some silver taels, and Erkui's funeral was also beautiful. In view of the actual situation, the spirit was suspended for four days, and every day on time and according to the routine of crying, worshipping, and sending the temple door...... Countless rules, etiquette and customs made Qiu Chen, who had not yet arrived at the scene, feel a headache just by listening to it.

Four days later, on the day of the funeral, the family of Erkui Niang and relatives and neighbors came to pay their respects, and then they fell to the ground.

When the Erkui family was infinitely troubled, Xiao October didn't understand what was going on at all. The little girl didn't recognize anyone, she was fed with all kinds of exquisite food arranged by Qiu Chen, but she didn't even look for her mother, and she just chirped a few times on Liu's clothes when she slept at night, and she fell asleep peacefully, so that the rest assured Erkui's family, who came to see the child, didn't know whether to cry or laugh. I only patted Xiao October's little buttocks with tears and laughter, and scolded hatefully 'Little conscienceless'!

Over there, Erkuiniang finally settled in the ground, and here Qiu Chen also received the news from Daxing and Qin Li at the same time. The third prince, Yang Jingyu, is about to come to Nanzhili, responsible for pacifying and supervising river workers after floods and plagues.

After receiving this news, Qiu Chen faintly thought of something, but the thought was fleeting, and she was not allowed to grasp it clearly.

Then, Old Man Mu finally took office, and selected Junyan and Aman to teach in person, and the other children still followed Qin Li, Qin Yong and others to exercise. Qiu Chen was very curious about how this legendary master taught martial arts, so he put aside the slightest hint of nonsensical thoughts.

It's just that her plan to see Old Man Mu's apprenticeship failed, and Old Man Mu didn't let Ah Man and Junyan practice martial arts at all, but directly didn't know what kind of medicinal powder he took to soak the two children in a medicinal bath...... Qiu Chen is also going to see the medicinal powder in his hand, but unfortunately, the fine medicinal powder like flour can't tell anything at all...... There are no modern composition analyzers here.

turned back tastelessly, and the two of them also came to thank him.

Qiu Chen pulled the two Kui who were about to kneel down and kowtow as soon as they entered the door, and let them sit and talk in the small flower hall. As soon as they heard it, they realized that Erkui and his family planned to take Erkui's father to Anyang City to serve, so that they could ask for medical treatment.

At the beginning, the two of them signed the deed, originally because the two of them were too scoundrel's helpless move, but now although both of them are working in the Lin family, Qiu Chen has never treated them as servants. Hearing that they took the old man to treat his illness and fulfill his filial piety, Qiu Chen naturally would not object, so he readily agreed, and specially arranged two carriages to send them back.

The two of them naturally went with great gratitude. It turned out that Erkui's family had a large population, and Dakui's family didn't even come back to Erkui's funeral. Erkui took Erkui's father away again, and no one lived in this courtyard, so he had to clean up everywhere.

After sending away Erkui here, Qiu Chen went to the backyard, and when he walked to the second entrance, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "Tang Wenyong's sudden return to Beijing, will it have something to do with the third prince Yang Jingyu?" ”

------Off topic------

There is something very important and I couldn't update it in time, sorry, bow!
