Shen Huaifu took the teacup and just brought it to his mouth, before he had time to drink it.

Hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't do anything, it was all your mother's idea." ”

Shen Lanxin glanced at Luo Zhi again, and Luo Zhi hurriedly avoided her gaze and pretended to be fine. ”

"Then you can't take care of your wife? Secretly give me a media all day long! Shen Lanxin said with a frown.

"How dare I!" When Shen Huaifu said this, he deliberately approached her and lowered his voice.

Shen Lan held his forehead in his heart, and said helplessly: "Dad, when will you be able to cheer up your husband and be the master for me, you can't let your mother suppress you for the rest of your life." ”

"Aren't you able to make decisions for yourself? What else do you need me for? Besides, it's not like you don't know my status in this family. ”

"But you're the head of the family, you don't remember how I taught you before, you have to resist."

"What can the head of the family do, it's not your mother who has the final say."

The two of you whispered to me.

"You are really my father, I will obey you." Shen Lanxin stretched out his thumb. She knew that it was not strange for such spineless words to come out of Shen Huaifu's mouth.

Seeing the two of them muttering with their heads down, Roche asked curiously, "What are you two talking about?"

Both looked up at the same time.

"It's nothing, I'm trying to persuade Xin'er not to be angry with you." Shen Huaifu hurriedly explained.

Shen Lanxin flattened his mouth, "Forget it, I'm so tired, I'm going to go back to the room to sleep first, I won't tell you, after saying that, Shen Lanxin yawned and returned to the room with a tired body!" ”

"Hey...... You're not eating? Roche suddenly shouted at her.

"Okay, leave her alone, she must be tired along the way, let her have a good rest." Shen Huaifu said.

Luo Shi stared at Shen Huaifu at this time and asked, "What did you say to Xin'er just now, don't think that I don't know that you are talking bad about me." ”

Shen Huaifu said with a smile: "Madam, look at what you said, how dare I say bad things about you!" It's just that what you're doing is really inappropriate, even though your intentions are good.

"I know what I don't know." Roche Road.

"What's more, what do you think, although our Shen Family Medical Center is not a wealthy family in Fengcheng, it is also a household name, if this matter spreads today, let alone the heart, even our whole family will have no face."

Shen Huaifu's words woke her up, and Luo was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

In case this matchmaker went around to publicize this matter with a grudge and deliberately smeared her heart, wouldn't that heart be harmed by her, and she realized that she almost did something bad with good intentions, and almost caused the Shen family to become the laughing stock of Fengcheng. ”

In a blink of an eye, in June, the weather began to be very hot, and many people in Fengcheng had suffered from heat stroke, and it appeared one after another, at this time, the Shen Family Medical Center was even busier than usual, whether it was to grab medicine or come to see a doctor, there was an endless stream.

There were two queues in the medical hall, one for medical treatment and the other for medicine.

There are not many people in line to see a doctor, but there are only ten on the left.

But there were too many people grabbing medicine, from the counter to the door, Shen Lanxin was so busy that he was sweating profusely.

From time to time, there were people who came in with prescriptions to buy medicine, but when they saw so many people lined up, they shook their heads and went to other houses.

Shen Huaifu has been frowning since the morning.

Although most of them have symptoms of headache and weakness in their limbs, their pulse is obviously weak, and people who suffer from heat stroke generally take medicine and will be cured in two or three days, and now those who have taken the medicine have become more serious instead of getting better, which is not like heat stroke, but more like a plague.

Knowing that there was a plague in Fengcheng, the people were extremely frightened, and the government also set up a checkpoint at the city gate, which could only enter but not exit, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, and posted a notice ordering each household to use wormwood to drive away the plague, and the people in Fengcheng were panicked for a while.

And the imperial court also launched emergency treatment, but it was also a drop in the bucket, and it could not solve the urgent need, and more and more people were infected by the plague.

And Shen Huaifu also looked through medical books overnight, hoping to find a solution from them.

"Sir, have a cup of tea!" At this time, Roche brought a cup of hot ginseng tea and placed it next to him.

Shen Huaifu didn't seem to hear it, and still looked at the classics tirelessly.

Seeing that Shen Huaifu did not respond, Luo picked up a cloak and gently draped it on his body.

Shen Huaifu realized this, so he put down the medical book and sighed softly.

"The plague is so ferocious that it infects hundreds of people in just one day, and if we don't find a solution, I'm afraid it will infect even more people." Shen Huaifu's words were full of worry.

"Yes, why did this epidemic happen so suddenly? There was no warning beforehand. ”

In fact, this epidemic should have happened half a month ago, but the spread was slow at that time, and they all thought that the disease of summer fever was not paid too much attention.

"But you've been looking at it every day and night, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it." Roche was a little worried.

Shen Huaifu yawned and said, "Time waits for no one, if you are sleepy, go to sleep first, I'm watching." ”

Shen Huaifu couldn't help but blame himself a little, if he had been more careful, maybe the plague would not have broken out so out of control, so he must find a way to treat the plague as soon as possible.

At this time, the moonlight obscured by the smoke gradually became invisible, and the entire Fengcheng was filled with the smell of burning wormwood.

In the blink of an eye, the plague has lasted for twenty days, and everyone in Fengcheng is in danger.

Before dawn, the door of the Shen Family Medical Hall was full of people, all of whom had come to buy wormwood and firewood.

Shen Lanxin has always had the habit of getting up early, she picked up the medicinal materials prepared yesterday and prepared to go to Lijia Village, this Lijia Village is not far away, but it is not close to it, but the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it takes two hours to go back and forth.

In addition, during the plague period, the number of patients increased, and the hospital was understaffed, so Shen Lan wanted to go and return as soon as possible.

Although Shen Lan is naughty, he is very serious and unambiguous.

The shops in Fengcheng gradually opened their doors and started to do business, and the Shen family medical hall also opened its doors, and before the door was opened, a group of people flocked in, and they were stunned to hug the guy to make a fortune.

"Oh my god, so many people?" Fortune sighed in a cold sweat.

At the same time, the door of Yaoshan Hall was also crowded with people, and everyone held out their long hands with prescriptions and waited for the shopkeeper to grab the medicine.

"Give me wormwood, I want honeysuckle, and I want Bupleurum." Everyone, you and I are fighting for each other.

"Everybody take your time, take your time." The shopkeepers are on the side to maintain order.

"Isn't it? Why is this honeysuckle so expensive? It's fifty taels for just such a point? It's sky-high. At this time, the man at the front of the line said indignantly.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, with a mustache and a look of disdain: "Expensive? Is it expensive or is your life expensive? ”

"Then you can't ask for such a price, isn't this forcing us to a dead end?"

"That's it, you sell it so expensive, how can we buy it, my mother is still waiting to go back and drink medicine." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"That's right." Others followed.

The shopkeeper saw that the crowd was in a commotion, so he hurriedly said: "Calm down, don't be impatient, I also do things for people, the boss said that it will go up, and I can't help it, so you can buy it while there is still one, and it will not be this price later." ”

"How so? Isn't this taking advantage of the fire? ”

"You profiteers, when you see how much we buy, you will immediately raise the price, and once you raise it, it will be three times, do you still have a conscience?"

At this time, several people rushed to the front and got into an argument with him.

Yaoshantang completely aroused the anger of the public, and everyone criticized them one after another, believing that Yaoshantang was a profiteer, taking advantage of the plague to seek huge profits and oppress the people.

"Yes, it's just a profiteer, let's stop patronizing Yaoshantang, let's buy it elsewhere, Fengcheng is so big and he is not the only one who sells it."

At this time, Shen Lanxin, who had already returned, saw the scene just now, and his heart began to get nervous.

Inside the Shen Family Medical Center.

"Follow this recipe to grab the medicine, and within ten days, the rash on your body will subside, remember not to eat spicy things." Shen Huaifu admonished.

"Thank you, Dr. Shen."

"Next."

"Oh no, Dad, something is wrong!" Before anyone arrived, Shen Lan's panting voice came.

Shen Huaifu lifted his eyelids and glanced out of the door, and saw Shen Lan running in sweating profusely.

"I'm tired, Dad, do you know it's a mess outside."

Shen Huaifu turned a deaf ear to her words and concentrated on taking the patient's pulse.

"The tongue sticks out."

After reading his tongue, Shen Huaifu lowered his head and wrote something.

"Doctor Shen, what's wrong with me, do I have the plague?" The man asked with his hands on his stomach and worried.

Shen Huaifu lowered his head and said, "You're fine, it's just diarrhea." ”

"Diarrhoea?"

"It's just eating bad things." Shen Lanxin, who was standing behind Shen Huaifu, interjected.

"Then how do I feel weak now? Doctor, don't lie to me? The man was still uneasy.

Shen Huaifu stopped his pen, raised his eyes and asked, "How many times have you pulled it today?" ”

The man thought for a moment, "Like seven times." ”

"Seven times? Do you have the strength to pull seven times? Shen Lan couldn't help but interject again.

"Okay, take this recipe and grab the medicine, once a day in the morning, noon and evening, and you will be fine after drinking it for three days." Shen Huaifu handed the prescription to the man.

Knowing that he was fine, the man's tense nerves relaxed.

"Great, thank you, doctor." After speaking, the man covered his stomach and went to grab the medicine.

Shen Huaifu suddenly remembered what Shen Lanxin had just said, and asked, "What did you want to tell me just now?" ”

He didn't remind him, Shen Lanxin almost forgot about this stubble.

"Oh, I was on the way back just now, and I saw that the price of wormwood and honeysuckle in every pharmacy has already risen, and that medicine hall is even more outrageous, honeysuckle has actually risen three times, not to mention those medical halls, so everyone will come to our house to buy honeysuckle, even if we have more honeysuckle, it will not be enough to sell."
