Section 061 Purdue
In the middle of November, Yanling Mansion is already late autumn, the wind is cold and the rain is cold, and the residual fragrance is fine.
On the thirteenth day, the rain fell, the tender cold invaded the body, the courtyard scenery was decayed, and the light flowers and thin jade were all gone.
Two months have passed since the plague in Liujiazhuang.
Gu Jinzhi was in a very calm mood, adjusted the inkstone, and sat in front of the window to write.
A few maids and Zhu's mother were afraid that she would freeze, so a warm cage was burned in the house.
Gu Jinzhi was sitting at the desk and writing, Wei Rui and Zhilei sat on the side doing needlework and accompanied her; I wish my mother to keep accounts with Youhe and Nishang today, put the summer things into the warehouse, record them, and send the accounts to Mrs. later.
The curtain is half-opened, and you can see the yard clearly.
On the wet bluestone path in the courtyard, a maid wearing embroidered shoes and clogs walked cautiously with an umbrella, for fear of slipping.
Zhu Mother and the others saw it, so they sent Youhe to meet a few steps.
The person who came was the peony girl next to Mrs., one of the eight big girls next to Mrs., whose status was only below Begonia, and she was most liked by Mrs.
"Madame, let me ask, has the things on Miss Seven's side been sorted out, let my mother take the account, Madame will enter the account today." Peony patted the wetness of her shirt and smiled to convey her mission.
Zhu mother and others hurriedly invited her to sit down, and took a handkerchief to wipe her face.
"It's all in order." Mother Zhu smiled and said, "Tired all the way, right?" Sit down first. I'm going to call back to Madame. β
Peony didn't excuse herself, and sat down: "I'm tired of my mother." Madame is not busy today, and Madame allowed her to go to Miss Seven's place to shop.
She wanted to come and see the dress.
Ni Shang is her aunt and cousin.
It was Ni Shang who brought her tea.
At this moment, the neon dress has a light veil on her face.
"Is your face all right? Show me again. Peony took the tea, put it away and didn't drink it, so she pulled Ni Shang to sit down and wanted to see Ni Shang's face.
The neon dress wore a veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful almond eyes.
Smallpox ravaged Liujiazhuang, killing many of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Nishang was young and healthy, so she survived.
It's just that this face is no longer the same.
It's been a month since she returned.
When she first returned, Madame wanted to send her to Zhuangzi, but Miss Seven left her.
Nishang remembered that Miss Seven said to Madame, "...... It is difficult to smooth out the scars on the face, but you can use medicine to reduce them, and after three or five months, it looks like freckles. Although it is not pretty, it will not hinder the view, and it will not be scary. I can't live without this girl in my yard......"
That's why Madame let her stay.
"Where's the go?" Nishang smiled, but still unveiled her cousin Peony, "Miss Seven prescribed the medicine and made some ointment herself. Take medicine during the day and apply some ointment at night......"
Peony was a little startled.
Ni Shang's face is even more ugly than when he came back a month ago, dark and hideous, I don't know if it is Yan zhΓ²ng, or is it recovering?
She didn't have a good time telling the truth, so she said: "Miss Seven's medical skills are filled with living immortals, you can relax!" β
Nishang smiled, nodded, and put the veil back on: "I am the most trustworthy Miss Seven!" If it weren't for Miss Seven, I don't know how many people would have died in that plague! β
With that, her eyes darkened slightly.
In that plague, with Miss Seven's pox planting method, the other Zhuangzi did not have many deaths, but the Liu Jiazhuang of the Nishang family, because it was the first to strike, so there were countless casualties.
Her second niece, sister-in-law, and father, who had just turned one year old, did not resist and passed away one after another.
The original family is now left with only the eldest brother, the three-year-old eldest nephew and Nishang.
The eldest brother also comforted Ni Shang: "There are hundreds of people in our Zhuangzi, and there are less than fifty left." Some families are gone, and some have only one left. There are still three of us, so we finally have something to rely on. Don't be sad, think of the good. If the master's family refuses to ask you, come back and farm with the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will feed you! β
Thinking about it, her eyes were a little astringent, and Nishang hurriedly turned her thoughts back.
Peony sat for a while, gossiped with Nishang for a long time, said hello to Youhe, and then came in to salute Gu Jinzhi, and when she saw that the rain outside gradually stopped, she got up and went back to Mrs.
Nishang sent her to the gate of the courtyard.
The bluestone pavement is slippery, and the peony walks very slowly. When they returned to the courtyard on Madame's side, Madame and Mother Song had already settled the accounts of each room.
Madame was talking to Miss Seven's nurse Zhu Mama: "...... Persuade more, go to bed early at night, don't write until the middle of the night, and don't want to take the exam. β
I wish my mother a respectful yes.
Mrs. smiled and asked Mother Zhu to go back first.
"How's the dress?" When the lady saw the peony coming in, she asked her with a smile.
Madame is in a good mood today.
"The face is better, it's all hard Miss Seven!" Peony said, "It's the grace of the lady, reward her with a bite to eat." β
Song Pan'er waved her hand and smiled.
Gu Jinzhi likes neon clothes, so Song Paner left her.
As long as Gu Jinzhi is willing, Song Paner has never been stubborn.
remembered that when smallpox was raging, Gu Jinzhi persuaded Song Pan'er to have pox, why didn't Song Pan'er take a tight breath?
ββ¦β¦ I've made powder from the squeezed acne pulp and acne scabs, and I've picked some of them and put them under my nose to get pox. You will have a fever after a few days. "The head of what Gu Jinzhi said is the Tao,
"When the heat subsides, I will never be afraid of smallpox in my life. It's a lifesaver. If we don't try, the people outside won't believe us, and it will be difficult for Zhuangzi near Yanling Mansion to be saved, but I am afraid that thousands of people will die. Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, mother, our ordinary virtue, this time is a great credit. β
The daughter patted her chest and said, "I promise it's okay, it's a lifesaver for them, and she can guarantee that all the pox will be successful."
She needs Song Paner's support.
For Song Paner, this is a great test.
In case the child is arrogant and can't succeed in planting pox, the whole house will accompany the funeral, not to mention, and add illness to Yanling Mansion and become a sinner.
Don't you agree, is the support for my daughter in the past all fake?
Gu Jinzhi told the cases of Mrs. Song, Hu Jie and the princess she cured again.
Song Pan'er didn't sleep all night, and after thinking about it, she finally hid it from Gu Yanzhen and agreed to Gu Jinzhi's words.
She saw with her own eyes how dangerous Mrs. Song and Hu Jie were, and their lives were saved by Gu Jinzhi.
They planted pox first, closed the house when they had a fever, and revealed the news to Hu Zeyu, so that Hu Zeyu could testify that Gu Jinzhi's pox planting technology was reliable.
Gu Jinzhi is not only to save the people of Manchu, but also to contribute to the plague.
Song Paner was frightened and used Manchu's life to support Gu Jinzhi.
Now that she thinks about it, why isn't she afraid?
Gu Jinzhi finally succeeded. Her pox planting method, because of the personal witness of Hu Zeyu, Zhao Daoyuan, and Old Man Zhou, has won the trust of Hu Zeyu and the princess.
So, Hu Zeyu ordered all the people of Yanling to be forcibly inoculated with pox.
At first, everyone was suspicious, some cried, some fled, and felt that Hu Taishou was going to kill them, even more than the fear of the plague.
But Hu Zeyu was unrelenting.
Mrs. Hu didn't dare to plant, she was forced by Hu Zeyu.
In that half a month, no one knows how much pressure Hu Zeyu was under. He hadn't slept a day's restful night's sleep. If he fails, he will never recover; In case of success, his political achievements will be remarkable, and his transfer back to Beijing will be just around the corner.
Song Paner had to admit that Hu Zeyu was a particularly ruthless person.
For the sake of the future, he dared to take risks.
Of course, in the end, Gu Jinzhi saved Hu Zeyu's future.
Thinking of these, Song Paner is already convinced of her daughter's medical skills.
Whether it's a vision or a demon, Song Paner is not afraid. Her daughter is definitely a kind and kind-hearted person.
Maybe Gu Jinzhi is not a demon, but the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, right?
Song Pan'er had a satisfied smile on the corner of her lips.
In the evening, Gu Xuanzhi and Gu Xiuzhi got out of school and came to Song Pan'er for dinner.
Song Paner felt that Gu Xiuzhi was also quite pleasing to the eye today.
When it was time to start the meal, the little servant next to Gu Yanzhen said: "Mrs. Hu stayed with the third master to eat, they had a meal in Dingxiang Building, and the third master asked Mrs. Sue SΓΉ not to wait for him." β
Song Pan'er frowned and asked, "Why did Taishou entertain?" β
"Liu Jiazhuang took the lead, and more than a dozen Zhuangzi, large and small, gave Taishou an umbrella for the people!" The little guy said with a smile.
Song Pan'er burst out laughing.
This is indeed something to celebrate.
Hu Zeyu made a great contribution this time.
He will be transferred next year, but I am afraid that it will be a better future.
Then, Song Paner's heart was sour again.
Gu Jinzhi took such a big risk, and the Gu family spared no effort to support her, but in the end, it was Hu Zeyu and Qin Shensi who were in the limelight.
Gu Jinzhi only taught Qin Shensi how to grow pox and how to reduce fever, and none of the others came forward.
Now the only ones who have achieved fame are Hu Zeyu and Qin Shensi.
Gu Jinzhi didn't get anything.
Song Paner didn't know where Gu Jinzhi's indifferent state of mind for fame and fortune came from......
Anyway, Song Paner can't do it.
After eating, Song Paner sent the two children back to the room, and she was ready to rest.
Suddenly, the steward outside said, "The old lady has sent a letter back from the capital, and it is urgent." β
Song Paner hurriedly got up and asked Haitang to bring the letter in.
