Chapter 251: Minor Illness

Zhang sneezed several times on the way home, and Zhao Xiu had a bad premonition. When she got home, she immediately stuffed her grandmother into the quilt and added several stoves and hand stoves, for fear that she would really freeze. Zhao Wei was still not at ease, so he repeatedly asked someone to bring the charcoal basin over and put it in front of the bed.

Zhang was so hot that he was sweating: "Where is it so cold?" I just blew the wind and caught a little cold, and after drinking a bowl of ginger soup and sweating, it was fine. ”

Zhao Xiu said: "Serious illnesses are all from small illnesses, and my grandmother's body is not very healthy, so she must not be neglected." He discussed with Zhao Wei again: "Do you want to invite a doctor to come back and have a look?" ”

Zhao Wei nodded: "It's okay to ask a doctor to take a look." Nowadays, most of the people in the Tai Hospital are newly recruited, and we don't know what they are good at. The old doctor used in the Guangping Palace's previous medical skills were trustworthy. I know where he is running a clinic now, and I went over and invited him personally. ”

Zhang hurriedly said: "No need, I'm much better now, let's drink a bowl of ginger soup first and get a good night's sleep." If Ming'er doesn't get better in the morning, it's not too late to ask a doctor to come. ”

Zhao Xiu looked at Zhao Wei hesitantly, the key was that she didn't know what Cheng DΓΉ was so uncomfortable that Zhang's family, if it was really just a good sleep, it seemed that there was really no need to ask a doctor. It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and it can get better naturally, so of course it's the best.

But Zhao Wei insisted: "That old doctor is very clever, if he says that his grandmother's condition can be cured without taking medicine, then of course it is the best, if he must take medicine, he will take medicine today, and it is better than Ming'er only to find that his condition has worsened." It will take more time to heal in the future. ”

Zhao Wei made a decision, Zhao Xiu naturally supported it, and the Zhang family could only watch his grandson go out without changing his clothes. She sighed, "You two kids just like to make a fuss. I've had a good winter every year. Even a few sneezes are fine, so why bother getting a doctor? ”

Zhao Xiu said disapprovingly: "Grandmother doesn't want to think about it, where did you spend the winter in previous years?" Jiangnan is naturally much warmer than the capital. Don't compare the situation when you lived in the capital before you returned to Jiangnan, how old were you at that time? It's just right. ”

Zhang was also a little embarrassed when he heard it: "Sure enough, he is older, and his body is much weaker." Once upon a time, when your grandfather was still around, I really wasn't so weak. The wind blew and fell. I've been staying in Jiangnan all these years, and I'm used to the climate there, and I feel a little unaccustomed when I return to the capital. Not only is it much colder in winter, but it is also dry and prone to sore throat. ”

When Zhao Xiu heard this, he asked people to invite Lu's mother. Wait for Lu's mother to arrive. She told Zhang about the situation. Asked: "What should I do in my grandmother's situation?" Even if you take medicine and get better, this dry throat is inevitable. I'll do the same, but I'll just get by drinking more water. ”

Mother Lu hurriedly said: "Then drink more water, and then I will tell the kitchen to prepare some honey water for the old lady, the little marquis and the girl to moisten their throats." On weekdays, burn a charcoal pot in the house, as long as it is warm enough, don't burn too much. If it's too hot, not only will you not be able to wear thick clothes, but you will also be uncomfortable. If you sweat. Or if you can't stay up and take off your winter clothes, if you accidentally blow the cold wind outside, you will also get sick. ”

Zhao Xiu listened, remembered that Zhang's had just said that the stove was too hot, so he asked her what she meant, removed three, and left only a hand stove in her hand, and the charcoal basin in front of the bed, but asked the girl to pour two more soup women and stuff them into Zhang's quilt, which was as warm, but there was no need to worry about fireworks.

Zhao Wei quickly invited the old doctor in a carriage, he diagnosed Zhang's pulse, it was indeed a wind chill, because he found it early and drove away the cold in time, there is no major problem now. He prescribed Zhang Fangzi, whether Zhang likes to eat or not, and after giving some instructions, he left, promising to come back tomorrow for a follow-up visit.

Zhao Xiu took the prescription and looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "This recipe is full of mild medicinal materials, and the medicine boiled out will not be too bitter, so my grandmother still eats one dose a day, and treats it as tea." Saying that, he handed the prescription to Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wei went to send someone to take the prescription and go to the familiar pharmacy to grab the medicine.

Zhang coughed twice in a low voice, and said indispensably: "Then take two doses and try it." Princess Guangping was a doctor who believed in her before her death, and her medical skills must be extraordinary. If I can get better sooner, you brothers and sisters will be less concerned about me. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and tucked the quilt corner for her: "Grandmother, go to sleep, when you wake up, the medicine will be boiled." ”

Zhang didn't feel sleepy, but asked her, "What kind of poems did you write at the poetry meeting today?" Write it out and show me. ”

Zhao Xiu had no choice but to write according to her words and show it to her: "I think I am particularly inspired by today's topic, so it didn't take much effort to write it, but it was faster than several girls." When commenting, they forgot that there was a me at first, but then Miss Fang Wu reminded them, and Miss Fang took my poems to comment, saying that my poems were better than hers, and asked me to do Tanhua. I thought to myself, Tanhua was originally hers, and her poetry was better than mine, so the two of them should be equal, so I said that we should do Tanhua together. Before the words were finished, the people of the Fang family came to report the news, and there was no follow-up to the matter. ”

Zhang Shi looked at Zhao Xiu's poem and nodded slightly: "That's okay, it's really well written, and among the poems you wrote this year, it can be regarded as a superior work." You said that you and Miss Fang were exploring flowers together? Do you remember other people's poems? Let's take a look. ”

Zhao Xiu's face was embarrassed: "Where do I remember so much?" Grandmother, you can sleep well, if you really want to know, I will send someone to ask Sister Cao for the poem. How can I memorize all nine of them? ”

Zhang said angrily: "I can carry it on my back if I change it, but it's just nine poems, what is it?" Having said that, she did not force her granddaughter to recite those poems, and fell asleep obediently. When the family came back after buying the medicine, Lu's mother personally took someone to boil the medicine, Zhao Wei stayed in his grandmother's room while reading and taking care of it, Zhao Xiu freed up his hands to take care of a few housework, and at the same time sent someone to the Zhuguo General's Mansion to ask Cao Luo for a poem manuscript, and asked the kitchen to prepare dinner, and the three grandparents and grandchildren ate in Zhang's house in the evening.

Zhang slept for a few hours and sweated. I wiped myself with a towel soaked in hot water, changed into clean clothes, and changed into a futon. Changing the hot water for the soup woman, etc., the whole person was much more energetic, and his face was ruddy. She ate a bowl of porridge first, drank medicine after resting for two quarters of an hour, and began to ask Zhao Xiu to read the poem.

The three grandparents sat in the warm pavilion and commented on the nine poems one by one. Zhang's level is stronger than most of the little girls, and the allusions used to them. There are also deviations in the wording of the poem, which are very clear, and also point out a few words in Zhao Xiu's poem that can be replaced with other better words. Zhao Xiu listened to her. I just feel like I've learned a lot more.

Zhao Wei's perspective is a little different. He is a person who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and he is also devoted to the imperial examination, poetry and the like, and he is not very interested in it on weekdays. But I will also do a few songs when needed. Nine people's poems. What he admires most is Fang Huizhu's poems, which are stable enough to be easy to travel, no matter the scriptures are quoted or the sentences are very standard, if you don't know in advance that it is the writing in the boudoir, and if you take it out and say that it is a poem for the exam, it is also believed by some people.

Zhang said: "If you change it, it will be an exam-taking move." This poem is naturally stable enough, but Miss Fang is not. Girls learn poetry at home. After learning this routine, no matter how much aura there is, it will be gone, which is sad. But he opened his mouth and drove his grandson out of the house. She was really sick and fainted, and she commented on the poems of these ladies with her granddaughter, how did she leave her grandson behind? He shouldn't have seen the poems.

Zhao Wei gave his sister a look helplessly, got up with a smile and said goodbye. Zhao Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, continued to discuss the poems with Zhang, and mentioned that when Fang Huizhu commented on Fang Renzhu's poems, she mentioned that her "Liuli" was written very well, and later Fang Er's girl also echoed, but said that Zhao Xiu, who also used these two words, was a picker, but was robbed of white by Fang Renzhu, who was praised by her.

Zhang smiled and said: "Using the word 'glass' to describe the moon is not a novelty. Chen Tao of the Tang Dynasty had the sentence "There is no sound of axes in the glazed palace", and Shen Qingbox also wrote 'the night moon glazed water, the spring breeze and the egg-colored sky'. However, Miss Fang Wu's poem is indeed well written, and she deserves to be praised by her sister. As for Miss Fang's words, you don't have to take it to heart. Your Aunt Cao's maiden family was originally a side of the Fang family, and there were no high-ranking officials in the family. The second girl and the fourth girl of the Fang family are her nieces, you see that they seem to be on an equal footing with other Fang family girls, in fact, their family background is not as good as that of the Yan branch, especially the long house of the Yan branch, so there are many flattery on weekdays, and what they say is naturally biased. For example, in our clan, our second room is the most prominent, except for the third room, which is a family of people who study the imperial examination, the people in the other rooms are also careful when talking to us. If the girls in their rooms go out with you, they must be similar to the second girl Fang. You just have to get used to it. ”

Zhao Xiu understood when he thought about it, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, in the past, you always hit me, saying that my poems are not good, and my talent is too bad. I went to Cao's house to participate in the poetry meeting today, but in fact, my heart was full of ups and downs, and I was worried that if I couldn't write poems, I would make a fool of myself. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the poetry meeting, I realized that I was not so bad. Those rumored talented women are not much better than me. Miss Fang Wu and Miss Liu, at most one more Miss Fang, these people may be stronger than me, but the rest may not be. Miss Fang Si was proud in front of Sister Cao, and her poems were so poorly written, which also surprised me very much. If it were me, I would never dare to shout in front of others. ”

Zhang laughed when he heard this, and couldn't help glaring at his granddaughter: "What do you compare to someone worse than you?" Naturally, it is better than good. Miss Fang Wu is only one year older than you, so she writes such good poems. Will you be able to match her this time next year? Just think about it, and you don't dare to be complacent. Grandmother is not famous in the capital, but you can't even compare to your grandmother in poetry, let alone compare with the talented girls in the capital? There's still a lot to learn, so don't be complacent. ”

Zhao Xiu lowered his head and agreed honestly.

Zhang was much better the next day, and he was completely cured in less than two days. However, she may really not be used to the winter in the capital, she often sneezes, coughs a few times by the charcoal fire, and within ten days, she has another cold. Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Zhao Xiu was a little worried that his grandmother's body would not be able to stand it, so he discussed with Zhao Wei whether to find a place around the capital to escape the cold and send his grandmother to recuperate for a while?

Zhao Wei pondered for a moment: "Our family has a small village that raises flowers, which is in the area of Xiaotangshan, where there are hot springs, but they are not suitable for people." Or...... I heard that King Guangping has a hot spring Zhuangzi, how about we borrow it for a few days? But I don't know if the prince plans to go over to escape the cold this year? (To be continued......)
