Chapter 308 - Fluttering (6K Two Shifts in One for a Monthly Pass)
"The plague?" Ying Sleeve and Shen Yule glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise and puzzlement in each other's eyes.
Ying Sleeve frowned, remembering that at this time in the previous life, he had never heard of the plague?
In the last life, after she was married, she began to walk outside to help the Situ family do business, and she heard a lot about things outside, and there was no such thing as plague at all.
"What is the disease? Mother, do you know? Ying Sleeve took Shen Yule's hand, carefully bypassed the place where the beggar was lying just now, and walked into the cyclamen.
Shen Yongjie led the two sisters to the second floor of the cyclamen.
The three of them sat by the window, looking at the bustling crowd on the street below, but the pace of the people was a little more hurried and flustered than usual.
Shen Yongjie frowned and said, "I heard that it is a pox diagnosis, and there is also chickenpox." ā
"Huh?!" Yingsleeve and Shen Yule gasped together.
On the mainland of Zhongzhou, everyone knows that pox diagnosis is pox, also known as smallpox, which is very contagious and has a high fatality rate.
Chickenpox is milder than pox and is often diagnosed in children, especially in late spring and early fall, when these two diseases are more likely to appear.
"Chickenpox is just that." Shen Yule looked at Ying Sleeve, "I had it when I was a child, and I won't get it again after I hear about it." Cousin, have you ever had it? ā
There are many people who have chickenpox, but not many people who have had a pox diagnosis, and even if they survive, most people will leave pitted pockmarked scars on their faces.
Before Ying Sleeve could speak, Shen Yongjie had already smiled and said, "Chickenpox is different from pox diagnosis." People who have had a pox diagnosis will not get it again, but people who have had chickenpox can still get it. I've seen it. ā
Ying Sleeve listened attentively, shook his head and said, "I don't seem to have had it, whether it's pox diagnosis or chickenpox." ā
She has been in good health since she was a child. Rarely get sick.
In the previous life, she lost her younger brother on the way to Beijing, so she couldn't afford to get sick, but at that time she was sick with her heart.
Shen Yongjie remembered what happened ten years ago and said: "There were also several plagues in Jinling City, including chickenpox and pox diagnosis. Although this chickenpox is not as good as the pox diagnosis, it is also dangerous. If a child has it. It should also be raised in a special place, and it should not be in contact with others, otherwise the whole family will be infected. Chickenpox can also cause other diseases. Some people will also get acne diagnosis again as a result. ā
Because after getting chickenpox, the resistance of the whole body decreases, and the pox virus can take advantage of the opportunity to enter.
āā¦ā¦ At that time, the eldest son of your uncle's family contracted chickenpox. Shen Yongjie was very emotional and pulled her forehead for Ying's sleeves. Mama Shen had chickenpox before. So at that time, I asked Mama Shen to go to your uncle's house to help us visit your lobby brother, so that no one else in our family would be infected. Fortunately, the government quickly issued a notice to move those who were infected to a temporary infirmary built by the government, so it did not spread. ā
"That's good." Ying Sleeve and Shen Yule breathed a sigh of relief.
They just heard what Shen Yongjie said, and all the districts in the capital began to distribute medicinal herbs, as well as temporary infirmaries, to send infected people in. It shouldn't be worse than the one in Jinling City.
Shen Yongjie frowned and said, "You better go back earlier." Don't come out again these days. Wait until the plague is over. If the situation continues to deteriorate. I'll send you out of the city and hide in another village outside the city. ā
While speaking, there were horse bells from the street downstairs, and the voices of people urging constantly: "Quick! Hurry up! Get out of town early! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ā
They took a look and saw that it was the rich families in the city who began to send their families out of the city, just like what Shen Yongjie said just now.
āā¦ā¦ Someone is out of town now? Shen Yongjie's brows furrowed a little deeper, "I'll go back with you." Your brother is still in the school these days, and I want him not to go. ā
Yingsleeve hurriedly got up and said, "Let's pick up my brother first, and then go home." ā
Shen Yongjie nodded, and said to Shen Yule: "Yule, I'll send you back first." ā
Shen Yule nodded, no longer stubborn, and followed them downstairs.
Coming out of the cyclamen, they got into their respective carriages and headed for the exit of the market.
When I was about to reach the exit, I saw a medicine shed set up on both sides of the exit, and a large iron pot was set up inside, and there was a firewood under the pot, which was burning, and the pot was gurgling and steaming, and the smell of medicine was wafting all over the street.
"Lord Lan has given medicine! The Lord of the Blue County has given away medicine! Big guy, go drink the medicine that doesn't need silver! ā
Someone shouted in the street, and countless people rushed out of their homes with bowls and surrounded the medicine shed.
The carriage of Shen Yongjie, Yingsleeve and Shen Yule was pushed by the crowd and stopped on the street, unable to move an inch.
Ying Sleeve looked out of the car window and saw that Yuan Yinglan was wearing a white handkerchief wrapped around his head, wearing a moon-white tunic and tight-sleeved robe, holding a large spoon and stirring in the pot.
When the medicine was ready, she personally picked up a small soup spoon and scooped the soup into the bowls of the people who were queuing up to ask for medicine.
She was very focused and serious, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose and forehead, but she didn't wipe it herself, but didn't overdo it, and let the maid next to her wipe her sweat with a snow-white handkerchief.
Although Yingsleeve has a disagreement with her, she has to admit that this kind deed has countless people, and it is really a great merit.
Shen Yongjie looked coldly at Yuan Yinglan talking amiably to those ordinary people over there, giving medicine, and sighed softly.
Although they knew that the previous idea that the person who was still the lord could not hold an official position with real power was Yuan Yinglan's idea, they couldn't say whether Yuan Yinglan was there or not.
Because of this kind of thing, others are wrong when they say it, so Yuan Yinglan can say it, because she is the county lord.
She has fought for her own marriage, how much can you blame her?
Moreover, she is still playing the brand of serving the righteousness of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and whoever accuses her will leave an impression of ill-intentioned intentions in Emperor Yuan Hong's heart.
āā¦ā¦ This blue county lord is getting more and more powerful. Shen Yongjie sighed lightly and looked at Ying Sleeve, "You have to be very careful of her in the future." ā
Yingsleeve nodded.
There is no need for Shen Yongjie to remind her, she also knows that Yuan Yinglan is a hard corner.
"As long as she doesn't mess with me, I naturally won't mess with her." Ying Sleeve pursed his lips. The implication is that if she provokes her, you're welcome.
"You can't afford to mess with her right now." Shen Yongjie calmly pointed out the identity gap between Ying Sleeve and Yuan Yinglan. "She is an official, you are the people, just this one, you have to retreat from her."
Yingsleeve raised his eyebrows and said, "When I get married, I won't be a citizen." ā
When she marries Xie Dongli, she will be the deputy prime minister's wife.
The prime minister is a genuine product.
The sub-phase is from the first product. The deputy prime minister's wife is also from the first product's fate. It happens to be the same grade as the county lord.
This is one of the reasons why she dared to ask to be removed from the position of county lord.
Shen Yongjie pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said, "It's pretty much the same." Remember, endure the more than half a month before getting married. Don't be afraid of her being a demon moth again. ā
It is now September 23, and the wedding date of Ying Sleeve and Xie Dongli is the eighth day of October, which is exactly half a month away.
The three of them waited quietly in the car, just waiting for the medicine to be distributed. There are fewer people in line.
Yuan Yinglan finished giving away the medicine. Hearing that Mrs. Zhongzhenguo's carriage was coming, he walked out of the medicine shed and saluted Shen Yongjie and Yingsleeve on the carriage: "Mrs. Shen, sister Yingsleeve." ā
Shen Yongjie had no choice but to lift the curtain of the car, and praised with a smile on her face: "Lord Lan really has a heart, at the beginning of the plague, he gave medicine to the doctor, which is really a great merit." ā
Yuan Yinglan smiled. said: "I just learned from Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen had already set up medicine sheds in the south and north cities to give away medicines, and she should be followed by Lan Dong. I hope Mrs. Shen won't laugh. As he spoke, he bowed down to Shen Yongjie in the car.
Shen Yongjie hurriedly said, "Lord Lan is polite. Now that the epidemic is everywhere, everyone will help them, and it is impossible to say who comes first and who comes last. ā
Yuan Yinglan smiled and nodded, his eyes turned to Ying Sleeve, who was sitting next to Shen Yongjie, and said, "Sister Ying Sleeve, do you want to go to the temporary infirmary with me to have a look?" I've heard that the situation over there is more serious than here......"
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid beside her hurriedly persuaded: "County Lord, although you have had chickenpox, don't go to the temporary infirmary, I heard that there are too many patients there, and I am afraid that there are other diseases." ā
Yuan Yinglan shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll go and see, I won't come into contact with those patients." ā
Shen Yongjie said: "We haven't had chickenpox in our sleeves, so we won't go with Lord Lan." Lord Blue takes care. As he spoke, he lowered the curtain and ordered someone to drive the car to the school to pick up Xiao Lei home.
Shen Yule was sent back to Shen's house by Shen Yule in another big car, Shen Yongjie and Ying Sleeve sat in the same car, quickly picked up Xiao Lei, asked Mr. for leave, and went back to Mrs. Zhongzhenguo's house, closed the door, and did not contact the outside.
The next day, Ying Sleeve went to the Yanbo Pavilion where Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei lived for dinner, and heard that a housekeeper was reporting to Shen Yongjie, "Madam, the slave maid just heard that half of the more than forty patients who had just been admitted to a temporary infirmary outside the city died overnight, and everyone said that this time the plague was different from previous years. Do you want to take the eldest lady and the little prince to hide in the Zhuangzi outside the city? ā
Shen Yongjie was taken aback, thought about it, shook her head and said, "I'm not going." Something happened to the makeshift infirmary outside the city, what use could those Zhuangzi do? It's better to be in the city, with the four doors closed, maybe better. ā
Ying Sleeve looked around, and saw that Xiao Lei was not in the house, so he asked, "Mother, where is Xiao Lei?" Didn't you ask him for leave yesterday and not go to school? ā
Shen Yongjie said: "He got up in the morning and went to the outer courtyard to run a horse, and he went to practice riding and shooting. ā
Yingsleeve nodded, "It's almost breakfast, let him come back." ā
She had just sat down at the table when she suddenly felt as if something was pulling her skirt from under the table.
When I looked down, it was actually a little meow!
Her dark and smooth fur, her big blue-green eyes, opened her mouth and pulled at the corners of her skirt, pulling her out.
"What's wrong?" Yingsleeve's heart moved, "Haven't you always followed Xiao Lei?" What about Xiao Lei? ā
Little Meow opened her mouth, meowed, turned around and raised her long tail, and walked out the door, looking back at Ying Sleeve as she went, as if to tell her to follow.
Yingsleeve hurriedly got up and said, "Mother, I'll go see what's going on with Xiao Meow." As he spoke, he had gone on his way out.
Seeing that she was following, Xiao Meow did not look back, but quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Yingsleeve followed Xiao Meow and followed all the way to the outer courtyard horse farm where Xiao Lei practiced riding and archery.
"Little prince, do you want to drink some water?" A maid asked, standing on the edge of the horse farm with tea.
Xiao Lei threw the reins of the horse to the little maid, walked over and took a sip of the tea served by the maid.
Little Meow screamed. jumped up violently and knocked the teacup in Xiao Lei's hand to the ground.
"Little Meow!" Xiao Lei was startled, "You're naughty again!" ā
He rode every day after shooting. There will be Xiao Xing to serve and drink a glass of light salt water, which is ordered by Yingsleeve.
Ying Sleeve knew that this was Xiao Lei's maid Xiao Xing, and followed them all the way from Jiangnan to the capital, and served Xiao Lei very dedicatedly, and Ying Sleeve was also very satisfied with her.
But Xiao Meow stared at Xiao Xing's silhouette, and her back arched. There was a grunting sound in his throat, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Ying Sleeve looked very strange and walked over slowly. came behind Xiao Xing and Xiao Lei, and shouted: "Xiao Lei." ā
Xiao Lei and Xiao Xing turned back together.
"Sister!" Xiao Lei ran to her side with a smile and looked up at her.
Xiao Lei is eleven years old and has grown a little taller. However, it is still a head shorter than Yingsleeve.
Yingsleeve saw that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Xiao Xing curttied to Ying Sleeve, then squatted down and picked up the teacup that Xiao Meow had overturned.
Ying Sleeve glanced at Xiao Xing, and suddenly saw her outstretched arm revealing her slender white wrist, hurriedly walked over, grabbed her arm, lowered her face and asked, "What is on your wrist?" ā
She could see it clearly, on Xiao Xing's wrist. There are dots of red rashes!
Xiao Xing pulled her arm back and took a step back with the tea tray. Hurriedly shook his head and said, "Nothing!" Nothing! As he spoke, he turned around and was about to run.
"Catch her!" Yingsleeve commanded sharply.
The two mothers-in-law who followed her quickly grabbed Xiao Xing left and right.
"Lift her sleeves." Ying Sleeve commanded.
A mother-in-law lifted Xiao Xing's sleeves and saw a small red rash on one of her arms!
Ying Sleeve looked carefully and found that these red rashes were not the same as the red rashes on Xie Dongli's body, but small red spots, unlike Xie Dongli, which were large bumps.
"What is this?" Ying Sleeve pointed to the red dot on Xiao Xing's arm and asked.
The two mothers-in-law who grabbed Xiao Xing hurriedly said: "Miss, this is chickenpox!" The little apricot girl has chickenpox! ā
"That's it! The slave and the maid have been out before, and the son of the slave and the maid has also been out, and this is what it looks like! ā
Xiao Xing collapsed at this time, and cried and said to Ying Sleeve: "Miss, please don't send Xiao Xing to the temporary medical room!" Xiao Xing can hold on! Xiao Xing can still work! ā
Only then did Ying Sleeve find that Xiao Xing's face was flushed, and her eyes were full of red bloodshots, obviously she was having a high fever!
"Bold!" Yingsleeve was really annoyed, "Don't you know that if you have chickenpox, you will give it to others?" You still have to serve Xiao Lei?! ā
I also sent water to Xiao Lei to drink just now!
Ying Sleeve was a little flustered when she thought about it, and hurriedly reached out to probe Xiao Lei's forehead, and saw that there was no fever, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "There is a boiled medicine over there, you go and drink a bowl first, just in case." ā
Xiao Lei saw that Xiao Xing's arms were full of red spots, and he was also a little scared, but he didn't want Xiao Xing to be sent to a temporary infirmary outside the city, so he couldn't help but help her intercede: "Sister, let her live in Zirongzhai in the backyard." It's the most remote of the place, and it won't be overlooked. ā
"I can't be the master of this, I have to ask my mother what she means." Ying sleeves pulled Xiao Lei and hurriedly returned to Yanbo Pavilion.
The two mothers-in-law had chickenpox, but they were not afraid of being infected, and one of them was waiting on the second door while pulling Xiaoxing.
Yingsleeve returned to Yanbo Pavilion and whispered to Shen Yongjie: "Mother, someone in our family also has chickenpox." ā
"Who?" Shen Yongjie was shocked, "Why did it come in so quickly?" ā
"I don't know. Xiao Xing obviously hasn't been out of the house, so I don't know how to get it. Yingsleeve shook her head, "She seems to have been having it for a few days, but she has been serving Xiao Lei and doesn't tell anyone." ā
Shen Yongjie's pupils shrank suddenly, "What?!" She turned her head to look at Xiao Lei, "Xiao Lei, do you know that Xiao Xing is sick?" ā
Xiao Lei thought about it, shook his head and said, "No, mother, I don't know at all." Xiao Xing usually spends most of her time doing needlework, and I haven't paid attention to it. ā
Only in the morning, when he practiced riding and archery, Xiao Xing and Xiao Tao took turns to do the errand of delivering light salt water.
Because these two maids have been with him for the longest time, and they are also the most reliable.
"I think something is wrong." Shen Yongjie said slowly, "Xiao Lei, you are reading and practicing at home today, don't go out." I'll have to get a doctor back and give you a consultation, just in case. ā
Yingsleeve hurriedly gave Xiao Lei the medicine boiled at home, and then had breakfast together. Let him go back to his room and rest.
Shen Yongjie ordered someone to take her post and go to the hospital to ask for a doctor.
As a result, the person who went came back and said, "Madam, the doctors of the Tai Hospital have all been invited away. Especially the Qi Palace. I invited more than a dozen imperial doctors to come over in one go. ā
"Huh? Why are so many people invited? Shen Yongjie and Ying Sleeve glanced at each other, both surprised.
"I heard that the Lord of Lan County went to the temporary infirmary outside the city yesterday and came back with an illness. King Jiajun knew that Lord Lan was sick in the morning, so he rushed to the Tai Hospital and invited all the imperial doctors on duty to the Qi Palace. ā
Shen Yongjie and Ying Sleeve both knew that Yuan Yinglan was going to a temporary infirmary outside the city yesterday, and Yuan Yinglan also invited Ying Sleeve to go with him at that time.
Shen Yongjie rejected Yuan Yinglan's proposal on the grounds that Yingsleeve had not had chickenpox.
āā¦ā¦ But I obviously heard the lady-in-waiting of the Lord of the Blue County say that she had chickenpox before. Not to say. If you have chickenpox, is it unlikely that you will get it again? Yingsleeve asked suspiciously.
"It's unlikely that you'll get it again, but it's definitely possible that you'll get it again." Shen Yongjie said very uneasily. "Didn't I say that? I've seen it before. However, this disease, which is much more dangerous for adults than for children. ā
Ying Sleeve silently lit a piece of wax for Yuan Yinglan in his heart, and said, "Then wait a minute." Those imperial doctors can't just live in the Qi Palace's mansion and not go back. ā
Shen Yongjie sighed: "It can only be like this." It's good that we're just worried that your brother will get it. May the Bodhisattva bless him, and he will be safe. As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and prayed in the direction of the west.
But the Bodhisattva apparently did not hear their prayers.
In the evening, Xiao Lei said that he had a headache, he didn't eat dinner, and went to sleep in the back room.
Shen Yongjie was in a hurry at that time, and immediately ordered someone to send Xiaoxing to a temporary infirmary outside the city. I personally took a car into the palace and asked Emperor Yuanhong for advice. I hope to assign the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Xiao Lei.
When Emperor Yuan Hong knew that the Qi Wangfu had invited all the imperial doctors on duty to the palace to treat Yuan Yinglan, he didn't say anything, but just sent a decree to the Tai Hospital doctor who was resting at home, asking him to go to the Lady of Zhongzhenguo's Mansion to treat Xiao Lei.
The doctor followed Shen Yongjie to Mrs. Guo's mansion, gave Xiao Lei a wrist pulse, and said, "It's indeed a rash." However, whether it is chickenpox or pox diagnosis, we still have to see the situation that comes out in two days. ā
"Huh? How can it be a pox diagnosis? Yingsleeve was very anxious, "There was just a chickenpox in our house, and he had been sent away. It can't be a pox diagnosis, right? ā
"Recently, the epidemic has been menacing, so I can't be sure." The doctor of Tai Hospital sighed, "I won't leave tonight, watching the situation of the little prince." ā
Of course, Shen Yongjie and Ying Sleeve couldn't ask for it, so they waited together in the outhouse.
The next day, I heard that Xiao Lei was really sick, and Emperor Yuan Hong sent five or six doctors to help diagnose the diagnosis.
Soon, the rash on Xiao Lei's body came out.
"It's chickenpox, not a pox diagnosis." The doctors finally made a diagnosis, and they were all relieved.
Yingsleeve and Shen Yongjie hurriedly got up to thank these doctors who worked hard day and night.
Shen Yongjie just opened her mouth and didn't say a word, and suddenly collapsed.
"Mother! Mother! Ying Sleeve hurriedly helped Shen Yongjie up.
There is a ready-made imperial doctor here, and he will immediately diagnose Shen Yongjie's pulse.
As a result, as soon as I rolled up my sleeves, I didn't need to be diagnosed, and the chickenpox had already come out.
Ying Sleeve was suddenly stupid.
"Don't be busy, send me and Xiao Lei away." Shen Yongjie said in a weak voice.
In order to facilitate diagnosis and treatment and isolation, Xiao Lei originally moved to the most remote Zirongzhai in the inner courtyard.
The doctors are also sitting in the wing room here.
Now that Shen Yongjie is also sick, Yingsleeve has no choice but to be the head of the family.
After the diagnosis, he will be sent to a temporary medical unit.
The temporary infirmary outside the city has a separate small courtyard specially prepared for dignitaries.
When Yingsleeve personally sent Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei over, she found that there were already people living next door to the courtyard where they lived.
"Whose patient is next door?" Ying Sleeve ordered his maid Caiyin to inquire.
After a while, Cai Yin came back and said, "Miss, the one who lives next door is the Lan County Lord. ā
"Oh, it looks like she's having chickenpox too." Ying Sleeve nodded, remembering the matter of the Qi Wangfu and his own palace robbing the imperial doctor that day, and shook his head, "I hope everyone is okay." ā
Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei lived in a temporary infirmary, although Ying Sleeve was not at ease, but she couldn't stay here to watch them.
Because she hasn't had any of these diseases, there's a good chance she'd contracted them if she stayed here.
Luckily, she had been in contact with two infected patients, but so far, she had not been infected.
Yingsleeve left Shen Yongjie's kung fu mother-in-law here as the leader, and took care of those who stayed to serve.
Because Xiao Lei moved in, Emperor Yuan Hong sent some more guards to guard the courtyard before and after, which looked safer than in the capital.
Yingsleeve was slightly relieved, and said to Shen Yongjie through the window: "Mother, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you and my brother tomorrow." ā
Shen Yongjie said in the house: "You don't need it." This disease will be cured in four or five days. The day of your marriage is approaching, and my mother must rush back to accompany you before you get married. ā
Yingsleeve counted the days, and there were eleven days left until the eighth day of October.
