Chapter 397: Growing Pains (1)
In the middle of the night, in the Xiyuan compartment, Zhou Zhun came out with the warrant of the prince and hurried into the palace with a horse. The originally quiet West Mountain dwells in the upper room, and the bright candles are lit.
One of the two maidservants on duty under the porch clasped his hands and paced anxiously in front of the window, looking into the room frequently through the curtain. The other person also had a sad face, and was shaken by the headless flies in front of him. Changing his shy temperament, he pulled the maid who was half a year older than himself back to his side, pressed her arm, and stopped her back and forth.
The two girls are of the same age, and they were both just assigned to Xishan Curie to serve the eldest son in shifts not long ago. Now that Tao's mother was left in the house by the princess, she had already been questioned by the princess herself, and then she was kicked out of the door.
The eldest son, who slept so well in the middle of the night, suddenly started crying. This crying can't be contained, and no one can coax it.
The two of them were already on an errand to take care of their eldest son, but now that they are on a business trip, where can they not be in a hurry. It's a pity that no matter how the two of them think about it, today's daytime, the little master should eat and wear, and they are all in order, just like in the past.
Although at night, Tao's mother was by the side of the shaking bed, and set up a soft couch, resting beside the little master for a moment. The two of them were bunks on the ground through the screen. If the little master has a bad one, the punishment should also be carried by Tao's mother. But just guarding the door, listening to the little master's high and low sobs, the two maids also felt like a string in their hearts, ding ding dong, afraid and worried.
"Oh no, I'm getting a little hot."
The seven girls in the house touched Brother Xu'er's forehead, her eyes were full of urgency, and she raised her eyes to look at him.
He skillfully held Xiao'er in his arms, sat upright, patted Brother Xu'er's vest gently, and saw that she was slightly panicked on the side, he sighed in his heart, grabbed her shoulder like a comfort, and shouted in a deep voice, "Let someone urge again!" ”
Outside, Zhongqing was killed, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran away without a shadow.
The seventh girl saw that her brother's white and tender little face was crying red, and she was so uncomfortable that she opened her little mouth and twitched her nose, as if she was so sad that she couldn't breathe. It is said that mother and son are connected, and she is also uncomfortable.
"Didn't you catch a cold?" Although she is a little familiar with medical science, she is not a doctor in the end, and she cannot cut her pulse and cut off the diagnosis. The matter of seeing a doctor cannot be sloppy at all, and it is a child.
Seeing that Brother Xu'er was crying and crying, he actually started a fever, and it happened that Guan Xu was not in the house tonight, so he couldn't just watch it dryly and do nothing.
The seventh girl was anxious to discuss with him, "Brother Xu'er is still young, if you use soju to heat up, I'm afraid that the heat will go too violently, and it will be inappropriate for him." If you change the ice cubes, you are afraid that the scale will not be well grasped and you will accidentally get infected with wind and cold. Or you can use warm water to wring the veil and try to wipe his body, this method is gentle. ”
At this time, although the seven girls were anxious, their brains were not messed up. Along with medical science, she also knew that he was inferior to her. So he seemed to discuss with him, but his tone was resolute.
In front of him, she rarely showed such a decisive side.
He brushed away his brother's dark and shiny, dense but sweaty and wet hair, and hugged the child in his arms, but his posture was firm and resolute. Those who are familiar with him know that he is far from being as calm as he is at this time.
It's about the eldest son, and he can't help but care. I'm afraid that if I just care, I will be chaotic, and I will make mistakes in my busyness.
Facing her anxious but faintly familiar gaze, he was in a trance for a moment, and he couldn't help but think of the first period of time, when she treated him with nightmares. If so, it seems that the whole person is small and weak, but she looks at you seriously, and the calmness and neatness in her eyes that does not match her age make her medical advice also have some convincing power.
He can trust her skills. So he nodded in agreement, and for a while the room was busy. Just as the seventh girl and Tao's mother undressed Brother Xu'er, Dong Teng hurriedly came to report outside the door, saying that Lord Guogong and his wife heard that there was a movement in Xiyuan, and they came overnight, and the small sedan chair had arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
Sure enough, Dong Teng's words just fell, and Xu couldn't wait to rush in front of Zhao Guogong, and dropped the bamboo curtain and entered the house.
"How's Brother Xu'er?" The person hasn't arrived yet, and the words are full of anxiety for Brother Xu.
The seventh girl might as well have alarmed the Xu family, and seeing that the Duchess of Guo no longer cares about the number of courtesies, she rushed straight in, and hurriedly stood up to meet her.
At this moment, where does the Duchess still have the heart to pay attention to her. When he entered the house, his heart was full of eyes, and he was the only one left.
With a wave of his hand, she stepped back and squeezed herself in front of Shizi. Shaking his hand to try Brother Xu'er's cheeks, he was panicked, and he saw that the little guy was soft and glutinous, crying so much that he couldn't catch his breath, and he was clearly still feverish.
Such a pitiful appearance for a moment, tilting his head listlessly leaning on the chest of the prince, his eyes closed, his eyelashes trembling. Even the usual dark and shiny eyes can't be seen at this time, only as he sobs, squinting slightly.
Xu's heart ached, only to feel that this room full of servants and maids was useless, causing her golden grandson to suffer such a big sin, and immediately lost his temper.
"What is the pestle doing here? Why don't you go and get the jar of soju and wipe your body for Brother Xu? How do you behave as a mother? Do you not know what to think of to make him feel better? ”
Xu was so angry that the more he looked at Brother Xu, the more distressed he became. The last sentence is to turn around and complain to the seventh girl, blaming her for not only not taking care of Brother Xu'er, but Brother Xu'er is not good at this time, such a big person is alive, but she only knows how to watch from the sidelines?
The seventh girl was really taken aback by the anger of the Duchess of the Kingdom like this. Although I feel aggrieved, I can also understand Xu's care. Knowing that it was useless to defend at this time, he couldn't follow it and misused shochu.
was about to say something good about it, but was stopped by the man and relieved her.
Some words came from her mouth, and from his mouth, and they were heard in Xu's ears, which was very different.
"Mother sit, late at night, don't be angry. The son has ordered Zhou Zhun to enter the palace quickly and ask the imperial doctor to come over. This pediatric fever, according to the medical book, is strong, and the child is delicate and weak, and he is afraid that he will be unbearable. If you don't use warm water to slowly draw it, the princess has already ordered someone to prepare water. ”
Just as Chunying came in with the warm water, he took advantage of the situation to gently put Brother Xu'er into the shaker, and turned around to roll up his cuffs.
When the seventh girl saw it, she was smart enough to hurry up and take a hand. He held a towel and carefully wiped the sweat for Brother Xu'er, and she cooperated with him on the side, carefully turning Brother Xu'er's body.
Neither of them spoke, but there was a tacit understanding that had been cultivated for a long time.
Xu Shi watched from the sidelines, and the anger that was in a hurry before was explained by the prince of the world, and it was slightly reduced. I really thought that it was contained in the book, warm and cold water was better, and with her habit of relying on the prince, she didn't say much, and then got up and walked to the shaking bed, stretching her neck and only looking at Brother Xu'er wholeheartedly, hoping that the imperial doctor would come early.
Outside, Zhao Guogong hindered the rules, and heard that the prince and the princess took care of Brother Xu'er in person, maybe the hot water wiped the body and had an effect, or he was tired of crying and lost his strength, and the child's crying was no longer the previous relative. Zhao Guogong stroked his beard and sat back to wait for the imperial doctor to come.
It was day and night, because of the well-behaved Brother Xu'er crying inexplicably, the Zhao Guogong Mansion was worried up and down. The old imperial doctor arrived in a hurry and looked at it carefully, but the result made everyone feel at ease, and they couldn't laugh or cry.
It turned out that Brother Xu'er's crying was not a big deal, but it was a baby tooth. I didn't get used to it for a while, and then I got hot. The heat is not tight, wipe the sweat, change into a breathable and light clothes, and then take a pair of heat-dissipating and soothing medicines, and wake up tomorrow, and allow the heat to go down.
The seventh girl glanced at his gradually soothing eyebrows, raised her hand to take the handkerchief in his hand, and listened to him behind his back to ask the imperial doctor about the matters that should be paid attention to when children have baby teeth.
After everything was done, the seventh girl stayed in the house to accompany her brother, and the Xu family followed Zhao Guogong and the prince to send the old imperial doctor out.
The old imperial doctor with a boy with a medicine box did not forget to compliment politely before leaving, "The world praises the adults for their extensive reading, and they don't want to include even the medical scriptures." The method of warming water to relieve fever in adults is just right, and it is most useful for children. ”
The old imperial doctor was quite appreciative of this, although he did not say what would happen if he hastily changed the ordinary method, but in and out of the words, he looked "fortunately so", as if he had relieved the burden on his shoulders, and he looked a little relaxed. All of them made Xu understand that the previous call of the prince was really reasonable, not to excuse the princess.
So the trace of unhappiness left in the bottom of my heart before, as Brother Xu'er took the medicine, Nu'er spit out a bubble, turned around and fell asleep, and was relieved. took people to follow Zhao Guogong, and after worrying about half a night, he finally returned to Dongyuan.
