Chapter 134: The Past Past
Shuyun looked at Sister-in-law Osmanthus in confusion and said, "Auntie, you wait a minute, I'll be fine for a while." β
Sister-in-law Osmanthus looked embarrassed, and whispered, "What, Niangniang, that's okay" After speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Shuyun was stunned for a moment and looked at the back of Sister-in-law Osmanthus. Shuyun felt that she must have something important to ask for herself, for so many years, this Osmanthus sister-in-law's family has never asked for anything for herself, just for herself. Thinking of this, Shuyun turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone wait for me, I'll come when I go." β
"Go, go, the Hu family is not an unmeasured person, there must be something difficult." Old Man Xu stroked his snow-white beard and said.
Seeing that Shuyun was about to get up, Ruxue, who was standing behind Shuyun, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, carried Shuyun out of the reception room, and when she came out, she happened to see Sister-in-law Osmanthus at the door with her head down, walking around, and muttering something in her mouth.
"Auntie," Shuyun called.
Seeing that it was Shuyun, Sister-in-law Osmanthus hurriedly greeted her, "You're done, Niangniang"
"Auntie, stop, how many times have I said it, don't always be a mother in private, such a foreigner than a mother. No matter how my identity changes, it's still the same Shuyun that you brought up, right? "Although the royal palace rules are strict, there are also rules and customizations in terms of titles. But Shuyun didn't want to do this to the people she was close to. The friendship between people will slowly fade in such a distance of communication. And she herself will become more and more lonely, Shuyun doesn't want to be old when she is old, there is nothing left but loneliness. Of course, you have to show it in public, but you don't have to do it in private.
"Good. Listen to you. Sister-in-law Osmanthus said, and glanced at Ruxue in embarrassment. Some want to say and stop.
Shuyun immediately understood what she meant, and said with a smile, "Ruxue is your own person." Say whatever you want. β
"My wife shouldn't have bothered you at this time, but this matter is really a bit fatal, and it has something to do with your medical school. That's why I hastily interrupted your discussion of business, and my aunt will compensate you first. β
"Auntie, where is this, you have never been that person who does not know how to measure. There must be something important, and I won't mind. If there's anything you want, just tell me. β
"Well, that's what happened. In the early years, it was still when Shunzhi was the master. Our family got acquainted with a person, and you actually met that person, but you were still young at that time, and I don't know if you can still remember it. His surname is Sun, and he is a wandering Langzhong, who specializes in giving people pox. Later, he was invited by the Tai Hospital to see Shunzhiye, but he didn't want to make a big mistake and was wanted by the Yamen. After the last two boxes, they disappeared. β
"I remember. The box was sent to Tom for safekeeping. β
"Yes, yes, that's him. I saw him yesterday, and he happened to come to the shop to buy snacks. I invited him to my house, but at first he said nothing. I'm afraid of causing us trouble, but you said that he is not more dangerous outside. Afterward. Your uncle also came forward, so he persuaded him to go home. He told us. This time he ventured to the capital to hear about the reputation of the Royal Academy of Medicine. Can't help but want to come and see. It's just that his identity is a problem, and he is wandering around the capital. You say, he is too bold, how can he be recognized by the people of the yamen? No, your uncle asked me to come to you quickly to discuss a countermeasure. That man is very good, if you can help, just help. After Sister-in-law Osmanthus finished speaking, she looked at Shuyun worriedly.
Shuyun pondered for a moment and said, "This matter shouldn't be a big problem, in fact, Sun Lang's traditional Chinese medicine skills are still very clever, and his pox method is also effective." Shunzhiye's death should have nothing to do with him. He just didn't catch up with the good time and was angry. Speaking of which, he and I also have a master-apprentice relationship. Well, my aunt, go back and let him stay with you for a few more days. I tried to ask him for a favor in front of the emperor. When the time comes, I will send for him. Look, is that okay? β
"Okay, then I'll go back quickly, your uncle is still waiting for the letter at home." Sister-in-law Osmanthus turned around and wanted to go out.
"Wait, auntie, I'll send someone back with you, take him now, you don't have to worry about the rest, whoever wants to ask in the future, you can say that it's my friend, your family is not familiar with him." Shuyun originally thought that she would wait for Kangxi to report before bringing Sun Langzhong over, so that she would save people from leaving a handle. But then I thought about it, if someone went to trouble Sister-in-law Osmanthus's family because of this matter, it would be better to take this matter into your pocket.
"Shuyun, this, is there something to say? Won't it cause you trouble? Or let him stay with his aunt first. Due to Shuyun's change, Sister-in-law Osmanthus also sensed that it was not appropriate.
"It's okay, I can be in trouble. You can rest assured. Without waiting for Sister-in-law Osmanthus to say more, Shuyun instructed Ruxue, "You go and let Xiao Guizi and Bayan go with your aunt, and by the way, let Xiao Guizi enter the palace to invite the emperor." β
In fact, Sun Langzhong is here, it is also very beneficial, he is not only superb in medical skills, but also good at pox, and now Shuyun has just put forward the plan to develop a vaccine, he will be a big help. I believe that with these conditions, Kangxi will open up. Besides, Shunzhi was not really killed by Sun Langzhong.
Sun Langzhong and Kangxi arrived on the front and back feet, and Sun Langzhong had just been arranged. Kangxi entered the door.
"Yunyun, what's the matter? In such a hurry to call me? β
"Amma, Amma, Dragon Egg (Tuan Tuan) miss you so much, why haven't you come for several days? Do you want to think about the little ones? Before Shuyun could speak, the two little buns shook off the little fat feet, ran over on their feet, and hugged Kangxi's thighs left and right. Lao Kang picked up the two little guys with a smile and shook them hard, "Heh! I've gained weight again, and if I continue to grow like this, Amma shouldn't be able to hold it. As he spoke, he used the sparse stubble under his chin to prick the tender and fat faces of the two small buns.
Provoked a burst of laughter from the little ones.
"Okay, you two little fat pigs come down quickly, don't pester Amma here, let's play." Shuyun was afraid that once Kangxi was entangled by two small buns, it would be endless, so she hurriedly spoke out to send them away.
The children were very obedient, and although they were a little reluctant, they still followed Shuyun's instructions and went to the side to read the storybook.
Lao Kang walked over and helped Shuyun sit down on the sofa. "If there's anything, just say it."
"There's something I want to beg of. Well, if it doesn't work, I haven't said it, and you pretend you don't know the way, okay? β
"What's the matter? Still so mysterious? Let's talk about it first. β
Shuyun thought about it for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that it's not a big deal, but that matter was a little sensitive back then." Do you know about acne? β
"Pox?" As soon as he heard these two words, Kangxi's expression was a little trance, and after a while, he said leisurely, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I vaguely heard of it when the imperial examination was alive, and it seemed to be very popular in the capital for a while, and I heard that it worked very well, but later with the death of the imperial examination, the acne Langzhong was also missing." Alas! It's a pity, huh? Isn't that right? Why do you mention pox for no reason? Is something wrong? Kangxi's expression suddenly became nervous.
Shuyun hurriedly patted Lao Kang's hand, "It's okay, it's okay." Don't be foolish. It's just that what I'm asking you to do has to do with this. That was about 20 years ago, and I can only vaguely remember that at that time, acne broke out in the capital, everyone panicked, and the huge capital was a sad scene. β
"Yes, I heard from the Queen Mother that when I was born, it was in the midst of a pox epidemic. had to be carried out of the Forbidden City by the nurse, and lived in a mansion outside the Xihua Gate to "avoid pox", and he couldn't see Huang Ama and Huang Eniang for a long time. When I was two years old, I also contracted it. If it weren't for the careful care of the nurse Sun, I might have gone, it's really dangerous! But I didn't expect that when I escaped the catastrophe of acne and entered the Forbidden City, the pox followed me like a shadow and never left for a moment. The years of "avoiding acne" in the palace are like a nightmare. In the huge deep palace, there are often three shocks overnight. If someone in the palace has acne, the imperial examination and others will go out of the palace to "avoid acne". If there were acne patients in the city, they had to be fenced off with ropes, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the city. These dark memories of horror and turmoil filled my childhood dreams. I escaped with my life, and I got the throne because of it. But the imperial examination went because of this. Alas! Kangxi's eyes were confused, and he said with sadness.
Kangxi was able to inherit the throne because of smallpox, and Shuyun also saw relevant records in the history books - when Emperor Shunzhi died of a sudden illness, he was less than twenty-four years old. He didn't have much psychological preparation for the succession issue before, and it wasn't until he was sick and bedridden that he began to seriously consider the successor. For a long time, Emperor Shunzhi has been optimistic about his second son Fuquan and wants to be the crown prince, while the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is more inclined to establish the third son Xuanye. The parties were at loggerheads and had no choice but to resort to third-party arbitration. This third person was John Tong, a Western missionary who was on an errand in the palace. John Tang has served in the Qing Palace for many years, and he is a first-class official. He maintained a long-term intimate relationship with the Shunzhi Emperor and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the Shunzhi Emperor once honored him as "Marfa", which translates to "grandfather" in Manchu. The sensible Western missionary John Tang soon helped the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Shunzhi Emperor to make up their minds - to make the emperor's third son, Xuan Ye, the crown prince. The reason is simple and sufficientβXuan Ye has had smallpox and has lifelong immunity to this terrible disease.
- It can really be said that smallpox is a success, and smallpox is also a failure.
Shuyun gently grabbed Kangxi's arm and waited for him to slowly calm down.
After a long while, Kangxi patted Shuyun's hand on his arm, looked at Shuyun with a smile and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." You go on to say. β
"Well, you don't have to be upset, okay?"
"Okay, okay, don't be sad. Say it. β
"Well, first of all, based on what I know about acne, I found that it is completely preventable"
"What? What do you say that can be prevented? Is this true? Kangxi interrupted Shuyun and looked at Shuyun in shock and asked.
