Chapter 197: Smallpox
The relocation of Tianhuazhuang went smoothly, and the main resources of this era were concentrated in the hands of powerful people such as gentry and nobles rather than yamen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Under Fan Jin's campaign, most of the nobles, eunuchs, and gentry in Jiangning City are contributing to the relocation of the village, especially with Fan Jin's efforts, many people realize that doing charity is not only a merit but also a career, and the participation is higher, and the resources invested are more.
A large number of wealthy merchants participated, and with financial resources to cooperate with forces, the execution power was far stronger than that of the yamen. After four days, the entire flower village has been moved. Although a small number of patients die or flee in the process of moving to the village, for most patients, there are still more joys and sorrows than misfortunes.
In the vicinity of Huazhuang, workshops are also being built. It is extremely easy to do some business or get involved in a certain industry in the Wei State Mansion in Jiangning. Xu Weizhi just revealed his intentions in this regard, and someone will naturally handle it below.
The quality of the new Huazhuang houses is far better than that of the previous Zhuangzi, and a special Langzhong is hired to be responsible for regular inspections. The two supervise each other and check and balance each other, no one can dominate the family, and the nobles' mansions inevitably send people to inspect, such as Liu Mazi's random female patients, which is basically impossible to happen.
Patients no longer have to worry about a snowfall that will crush their houses and kill them, and they don't have to worry about not being able to go home when they get well. Female patients do not need to be bullied by the public, and they are grateful to the nobles of the village. Yu Fan Jin and Zhang are grateful to Dade. Some patients have already offered a simple immortal position in the room and kowtowed to Zhang Qianjin.
Miss Six's illness has improved a little compared to when she was first sent to the village, pearl pox is the lightest of all flowers, plus the environment of the new flower village is good, and this move to the village incident has made her feel very comfortable, and she feels that she has not been abandoned by her family. Fan Jin gave some opinions on nursing, and if nothing else, his life can definitely be saved.
Drinking water and thinking about the source, the first thing the Duke of Wei Mansion wants to thank must be the Zhang family, and Mrs. Mu specially posted a post to invite the Zhang family to come over for a banquet. But at this time, Zhang himself was already bedridden, and he couldn't participate in any activities.
Fan Jin grabbed the medicine himself, and now he doesn't dare to give it to the woman anymore. At this point in the current condition, ordinary Lang Zhong does not dare to take medicine at will, and Fan Jin's half-hung is even more difficult to use.
The disease of cold was not too serious in Fan Jin's previous life, although it would also lead to death because of complications and other conditions, but psychologically, few people would really be afraid of colds. It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that Fan Jin is not too worried about Zhang's condition, and always thinks that even if he doesn't take any medicine, he can be cured.
But the medical level of the Ming Dynasty is far from being compared with later generations, and wind chill is actually a disease with a very high mortality rate at the moment. The probability of death and disability caused by untimely medical treatment or lack of suitable medicine is not low, until the girl's condition suddenly deteriorated, and Lang Zhong, who was originally very sure, spoke vaguely, and even the medicine was very conservative, that Fan Jin realized that the situation did not seem to be optimistic.
He went to visit the girl once, and the girl was no longer energetic, and spoke to him in a low voice. His consciousness was a little blurred, and he took Fan Jin's hand and called Brother Liu, but he actually took him for Liu Kanzhi. Haruka cried like a tearful person, tears kept flowing, and she said helplessly: "What can I do about this? How is this good? Second master, they will definitely blame me, what can I do? ”
"There's nothing wrong with you here, you don't have to blame yourself. The second son is a reasonable person, and he will not be angry with others casually. Let me ask you, did Liu Gongzi get the letter? ”
Chunxiang nodded, "The letter was delivered, and Liu Gongzi also sent someone to deliver the medicine, but people still don't have time." I heard that there was a group of the most powerful dumping who were targeted by Liu Gongzi, and the nest of these people was knocked down by Liu Gongzi, and the money and food were all confiscated by the officers and soldiers. Without food and clothing, they became very vicious, and they did everything to eat. Liu Gongzi said that if he didn't catch them, these people didn't know how many people they would kill and how many evils they would do, and they couldn't come back at a critical juncture. ”
Fan Jin said: "So that's the case...... Well, how is Miss's body? ”
"Not good. Lang Zhong came to see it a few times, but he couldn't say why, the Wei Guogong Mansion invited the senior judge of the Tai Hospital, asked for the pulse twice, and didn't say anything, just asked the young lady if it hurt. The other thing is...... It's ......"
"What's it?" Fan Jin's voice was a little anxious.
"It's the situation of Miss, it seems to be a bit similar to Miss Six......"
The teacup fell to the ground, and the fine porcelain that the official kiln had set to fire was smashed and shattered. Zhang Sixiu's handsome face became a little distorted because of anger, and his eyes stared at the old man in front of him, "You...... What nonsense are you talking about? You dare to curse my sister, believe it or not, I am a famous thorn now, and I will send you to the yamen first! ”
The old man in the age of the sixtieth year had long expected Zhang Sixiu's anger, and he made amends again and again, and said slowly: "The mood of the second son is very clear. On that day, Grandpa Xu almost dismantled the old bones, compared to the little grandfather, the second son is already a Sven. If it is for self-preservation, the old man can casually talk about any illness, fool things over, and never come out again in the future. However, Gangneung Xiangguo is the world's virtuous minister, and the eldest lady's move to Tianpox Village is also a great merit. Just for the sake of those who are saved, the old man cannot talk nonsense, there must be a sentence to say. Miss has seen the pulse case before, although the illness is serious, but the old man can still deal with it. But this time...... The illness on the young lady's body is very much like ...... Flowers. The old decay did not dare to take drugs at will. ”
Zhang Sixiu gritted his teeth and said, "Lao'er, don't think that the prime minister's son won't beat people." If you dare to curse my sister, believe it or not, I can tear your bones apart. She is so dignified, how can she blossom? ”
"The eldest lady has been to the flower house, right...... After he came back, he didn't burn the clothes on his body, maybe the plague was in the clothes. Or in the wind...... Water ...... In short, it's hard to say, no one can say where it will be. Of course, old decay does not mean that it must be smallpox, but it can only be said that the second son should prepare early. ”
"Prepare what? Old thing, you make it clearer, you say this now, do you want us to prepare the coffin? ”
"No, the second son misunderstood, the old man definitely didn't mean this. Old decay means that it is best to take precautions, if it is not smallpox, but if it is smallpox...... The second son and the third son must be cautious. The two are both the sons of the prime minister and the talents of the world, and they both have heavy responsibilities, so they must cherish their bodies, retain useful bodies, and contribute to the country. You can't have a long relationship with your children, and you can't mistake others. ”
"What kind of dumb riddle are you talking about?"
"Whether it is smallpox or not, it is not clear now, in addition to the pulse, it also has to be judged according to the condition. But if smallpox is discovered, both of you and the people in this hospital are in danger of contracting the disease. It is explained by the old decay and courage, in order to keep the safety of the second son and the third son. From now on, please pay attention to food and clothing, and the maids around the lady should not be changed at will, nor should they come into contact with people casually. It is better to find some servants who have had smallpox to serve the young lady, and as for the others, do not come into contact with the young lady, lest the plague spread......"
Zhang Sixiu said: "Didn't you mean to treat my little sister as a smallpox patient first?" ”
"The art of war is a cloud before thinking about victory, and the people also have a saying that there is no big mistake in being careful. The second son is a scholar, so he naturally knows the truth here, and he doesn't need to be old and old. If the eldest lady had not contracted smallpox, it would have been too late for all to recover. If...... The son of a daughter can't sit down, and the second son shouldn't take risks in this kind of thing. ”
Zhang Sixiu's face was cloudy, and after a long time, he said, "Are you dividing our brother and sister?" ”
"Don't dare. In the eyes of doctors, patients are equal. Brother and sister, father and son, there is nothing special. Smallpox is not contagious because the second son is the younger brother of the young lady. Therefore, the old man's proposition is only to consider how to control the disease and how to avoid infection, and the others are not considered by the doctor, and I hope that the second son will understand. Second son, please think about it, Miss is sick, and it all depends on you to take care of it. If anything happens to the second son, who will take care of the young lady? ”
"That'...... Is it too late to leave Jiangning now? ”
The old man shook his head, "The eldest lady's condition is not conducive to action, if it is not ......, it will be better to rest for ten days and a half months." If one day is not blessed, it will be more than a month before it can be seen. The old man will prescribe some antidotes, so that the toxicity in the eldest lady's body can be dispersed as much as possible, so that the symptoms can be seen earlier. Just hopefully...... The second son made a preparation. ”
Zhang Sixiu sat back in his chair dejectedly, leaning his head on the back of the chair, looking desperate. Although Imperial Doctor Gao was not sure what he said, he already had a final decision in his heart when he said such a thing, and if he was not more than half sure, the old man would not dare to speak. Smallpox...... This terminal illness really appeared on the head of his family, and he was also his closest little sister.
After the smallpox outbreak, Zhang Sixiu Xinli was a little scared at most, worried that he would be infected, and as for how sympathetic he was to the patient, he couldn't say how much he could. He is not a saint, and he cannot feel sorry for strangers. It wasn't until his relatives were also infected that he really understood Xu Weizhi's mood that day and understood what it was like to feel the pain in his heart.
Fear was far less than sadness, at least at this point in time, he didn't think he would be infected or even lose his life. All I thought was that my little sister was still so young, why did she get this disease, if she couldn't save her, would she have to leave herself?
After a long while, Zhang Sixiu stood up and respectfully bowed to the old lady. "Old man, no matter what the cost, I want my sister to be okay. As long as she can recover, Zhang Mou will be promoted in front of the family strictly, and your old man will be escorted to the capital and judged by the hospital! ”
The old man shook his head, "I'm old, I can't walk anymore." People are lazy as soon as they get older, and it is kind to let me go to the capital, but I don't want to move. The second son can rest assured, the heart of the doctor's parents, no matter who is sick, the doctor will go all out, and he can't wait to replace him, without this heart, he is not worthy of practicing medicine. But you and the third son, you must be careful, you can't go to see the eldest lady again, otherwise...... It's too late to regret. If a loved one gets this disease, he will definitely be sad, but the second son is a scholar, and he should know that at this time, it is not much use to be sad, so it is still necessary to keep a useful body and not let the plague spread. Also, it is necessary to find someone as soon as possible, and the wages paid by the people hired there are high, and many people have been hired there, and it is a bit difficult to find a woman who has smallpox in the city now. ”
Zhang Sixiu sent the old man away, and walked around the room by himself, sometimes wanting to take his sister away from Jiangning to the north regardless of everything, and sometimes thinking of his sister's current body, even if it was just a cold wind, he couldn't stand the fatigue of the boat. After more than an hour, Zhang Maoxiu hurriedly rushed in from the outside, and shouted when he entered the door:
"Second brother, what's going on? Zhang Zhong is too disagreeable, I want to see my sister, he said that he is guarding the door on your orders, and no one is allowed to go. Why, I see that my sister wants him to nod too? Isn't this a slave? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, he's kind." Zhang Sixiu waved his hand, called the third brother over, and whispered something in his ear. Zhang Maoxiu's face changed a few times, and he took two steps back and said, "This is impossible!" I don't believe in Lao Er's nonsense! I'm going to see my sister, our family, how could I get that kind of disease! Wind chill, it must just be wind chill. ”
Zhang Sixiu's hand grabbed his brother's arm and pulled him to the seat with force, his eyes almost spewing fire, and he stared at his siblings.
"Third brother, now is not the time to lose your temper! Listen to me, it's not your sister arguing with someone, it's not causing any trouble, it's smallpox! Smallpox heard no! This thing is damning! Elder Gao is right, if you can keep one now, I will arrange a boat in the near future, and you will go north to Beijing first to leave this place. ”
"I'm not leaving! I'm going to stay here with my sister. ”
"It's up to you!" Zhang Sixiu scolded, the men of the Zhang family are orderly, the elder brother is angry, and the brothers dare not contradict each other, but they are still not convinced. Zhang Si cultivated:
"Listen to me! It's not good that people are going to die here, it's not just those peddlers and pawns outside who are dying, it may also be our Zhang family! In the face of smallpox, power and wealth are useless, and who dies or lives depends on God's face. At this time, you can walk one by one, understand? You go with our friends first, I'll wait here, if it weren't for smallpox, it would be better." Also, don't you have a good match? Since she is a woman in Qinglou, she must have made many friends, let her help hire a mother-in-law who has spent flowers to come back, don't be afraid to spend money, as long as the person is reliable. ”
Zhang Maoxiu's tears had already flowed out, and he shook his head and said, "No...... I'm not going...... Isn't there a maid in my sister's room, and there are so many servants at home. To serve a cold patient, you don't need a mother-in-law who has ever had flowers...... Sister is not smallpox...... No! I'm not going anywhere! ”
Zhang Sixiu sighed, "I also hope that she is not smallpox, but this world is not as good as it would be, so there is no harm in preparing early." I also want to go out to find Liu Kanzhi, Uncle Liu is in the Criminal Department, I know a lot of people, and the people I am looking for are more reliable. He had to know about it, after all, it had something to do with him. Don't be stupid, go find someone, lest you ...... It's too late. ”
Zhang Sixiu, who covered his face with the sleeves of his robe while talking, stumbled under his feet, and almost fell out of the threshold, but finally held on to the door frame and stood firm. Zhang Maoxiu hurriedly ran out to support his brother, but Zhang Sixiu shook his head and said:
"What are you helping me do, your second brother is not so easy to fall. Remember, don't cry after going out, our Zhang family's face can't be lost at any time. Straighten up your waist, Jiren has his own natural appearance. And also...... Buy some red silk to hang at home so that people can get ready to change clothes. If you want to ask the reason, you will say that I will do a happy event for you......"
"Huh? What kind of happy event? My sister is still sick......"
"Haven't you heard of Chongxi? That's three slow, let's hold a ceremony first, I'm in charge of this matter. ”
Although Zhang Maoxiu refused to admit that his sister might have smallpox, several pock-faced women who had flowers were still invited from outside. The courtyard where the Zhang family lived was blocked, and no one else was allowed to enter except for these mothers-in-law and Chunxiang, and the people inside were not allowed to come out at will.
Zhang Maoxiu was in the room with a sad face, without the joy of having his wish fulfilled, but fortunately, in addition to having the ability to serve people in the pillow seat, he also had the means to serve people, and his kind words comforted Zhang Maoxiu so that he would not make trouble.
The courtyard fell into an unprecedented quiet atmosphere, no one proposed a party anymore, and even the daily walk, they would unconsciously light their steps, and everyone's attention was focused on the red-hung courtyard. More than once, the Zhang brothers went to several of the most famous temples in Jiangning City to burn incense and make wishes for their sister's safety.
Two days later.
A scream spread from the courtyard, and Haruka ran out of the room in a panic and shouted, "Someone! Hurry up and invite Langzhong, the young lady has a lot of marks on her body, and there are also on her face! ”
