Chapter 178: Sick

First drinking, then dancing in the snow, it is normal to have a cold and cold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiang Ning is not short of Lang Chinese medicinal materials at the moment, and it is not too difficult to treat this disease. But there is a background of smallpox, it is inevitable to talk about the tiger's discoloration, and when he heard the onset of the disease, people were startled first, and when he asked the reason, Zhang Sixiu had to scold a few words.

In the past, girls were favored at home, and they liked to be coquettish to their brothers, even if they did something wrong, they would find flaws when they were scolded. She is both smart and well-read, and her arguing talents are not hindered, and she is also used to her sister's quibbles when she is an elder brother, and she only thinks of it as a love affair between brother and sister.

But this time, for the first time, the girl did not make any excuses, but only admitted her mistake in a hoarse voice. This attitude made Zhang Sixiu very satisfied at first, but when he got out of the room, he was a little strange and muttered, "It's not right...... How does my little sister feel weird......"

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and an unexpected snowstorm actually hit Jiangning. Three days passed, and the snow outside was more than a foot deep, and every day people carried out the corpses of frozen beggars.

Zhang's entourage didn't care much about this kind of thing, just waited for the snow to stop, and then prepared to invite Xu Weizhi back, everyone had dinner, and then went to Xu's house to visit, they should contact Liu Kanzhi and prepare to enter Beijing to prepare for the exam.

Zhang Maoxiu's reaction in the past few days is also a little strange, and he even wanted to sneak out in the snow, but he was caught by the second brother and refused to say where he went. As for going to see Xu Weizhi, he twisted and didn't want to go, so Zhang Sixiu couldn't help but wonder if his brother had something awkward with Xu Weizhi. But think about it again, Xu Weizhi's temperament, normal people know that he will not be as knowledgeable as him, and his brother has always been kind, how could he turn his face with him and deadlift his brother away.

When it was time to hold the lamp, the Zhang brothers returned from the Xu family, and their faces were not very good-looking. Seeing Zhang's family, he lowered his voice and said an astonishing news: Miss Xu Liu had smallpox.

Zhang's body is actually still very poor, the fever has just subsided, but her body is still weak, her physical fitness is good, so she will not be put down so easily. But this time the illness seems to be particularly severe, even if the most famous Lang Zhong in Jiangning is invited, the illness does not improve much. But as soon as the news came, she still dragged the sick body out of the maid's arms and asked her brother.

"Smallpox? It's only been three days, how do you know you have smallpox? ”

Her voice is still very hoarse, her speech is weak, her breath is insufficient, and the eldest lady who used to be high in the past looks sick and delicate. Zhang Sixiu said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, be quiet...... The Xu family still wants to suppress this matter, and it is not good to make a noise. I hope I'm mistaken, but it's said that the situation is a little bit unpleasant, and the symptoms look a little like flowers. ”

"Maybe it's just the wind chill or not, this disease can't be seen at first, most likely it's wrong. She's fine, how did she get smallpox? ”

"Girl, who can say anything about this plague? After all, it was the pox spilled by the plague emperor, and I don't know who it fell on. The grandfather hung Xu Weizhi up and beat him, saying that if he didn't have a good banquet, Miss Six would not have smallpox. ”

Zhang said: "Then you are actually blaming me......

"No, no, it doesn't mean that. Today, Xu Qiansui specially told me about this, saying that it is none of our business. It was Xu Weizhi who didn't like it, not only did he hold a banquet, but also invited so many women from Qinglou to come. These people have the most mixed contacts, and who knows which guest is infected with the plague and brings it out to infect people......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Sixiu paused and looked at the girl a few times, "Sister, what is wrong with you?" For example, the limbs hurt, or something is wrong with the body? ”

"Ahem...... Second brother, where did you think of going...... Ahem......" As she spoke, she coughed again. Zhang Sixiu sighed, "It's okay, it's okay." To be honest, even I'm a little scared now, smallpox, whoever wants to say that this thing is not afraid, it must be bragging. I knew that I would only invite Xue Wu that day, she had a flower, and she looked good, and she could dance, just look for her. No other woman has ever produced flowers, anyone can be sick, these six young ladies are also unlucky, they were about to get married, and they actually caught up with such a thing. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe she's not a flower ...... at all" Zhang coughed violently again, and Zhang Maoxiu didn't speak, only lowered his head. Zhang Sixiu said: "Okay, I hope it's not a flower, such a good girl, if there is smallpox, it's a pity." According to me, we'd better leave as soon as possible, if the smallpox in Jiangning City makes trouble, it won't be able to live there. But your body ...... I still can't leave now, so hurry up and take a few pills to cure the disease first. ”

Zhang was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Liu Shibo...... Did the second brother go? ”

"I went and gave the gift in, and Liu Shibo also gave something back, but you know that person, he is always an iron skin, as if everyone owes him a lot of silver. said that he had a lot of business and it was inconvenient to entertain him too much, so after saying a few words, he sent off the guests. As for Brother Kanzhi, I heard that he was studying hard in the room, so he didn't let him come out to meet. ”

"Bitter reading?"

"Yes, I heard Liu Shibo say that Brother Kanzhi was looking through the medical books and pharmacopoeias at home, trying to find a cure for smallpox and save the people in the city. There is also a desire to hold a literary meeting with several officials and gentry in the city, raise a sum of money, build a porridge field for the beggars in the city, and give up some cotton clothes, which will always kill fewer people. ”

Zhang nodded and said: "This seems to be the person of Brother Kanzhi, Shibo's family has a lot of books, among which there are several ancient medical classics, most of which are now lost, and the real doctor does not know the formula." May he find something useful to cure this plague. The illness of the little sister has dragged down the two brothers' trips, which is really ......"

Zhang Sixiu said: "What are you talking about, my brother and sister, why do you say so politely." It's just that everyone has been paying attention to it recently, don't go out if you have nothing to do, especially you, third brother! What are you going to do sneaking out the night before yesterday? And he brought so much silver. ”

"I didn't ...... Nothing, want to buy...... Buy books. ”

"It's good to buy books and let the little guy go, it's dangerous for you to go out with so much silver, and now there are more and more displaced people from outside the city who have fled into the city, and you have so much money with you, be careful that you will be robbed. Little sister, hurry up and rest, take care of your body early, and let's leave early. I really didn't expect that the good ones actually made a smallpox, but really! ”

Helped back to the room by the maid, the girl only felt that her head was dizzy, her hands and feet had no strength, and her thinking was not as agile as usual. After gasping for a while, she asked the maid, "Chunxiang...... Fan Jin Fan Gongzi, what is he doing? ”

"Huh? Fan Gongzi? This slave doesn't know. ”

"If you don't know, just ask and see what he's doing. Ask Fan Gongzi if he has time tomorrow, and if so, invite him to come and sit here. ”

"This ...... Not okay? There is a difference between men and women, and the young lady is sick again......"

Zhang's face was cold, "Brother Fan and I are glorious and beautiful, are you afraid that ignorance and foolishness will be short-lived?" If you refuse to go, do you think there is something shady between us? ”

The maid had always been afraid of her, but when she saw that the young lady was annoyed, she had to go out to ask, and after a short time, she came back to report: "Fan Gongzi said that he was writing something, and he has been hiding himself in the house for the past two days, and he has not gone anywhere." I don't know exactly what to write. However, he also wrote something for the young lady, but he couldn't find anyone to send it. The slave maid just met Fan Gongzi's companion and asked for that thing, do you want to take a look? ”

Do you want to check it out? This question made the girl also momentarily confused, should she watch it, or shouldn't she watch it? originally thought that Fan Jin must be visiting Yan in the snow in the past two days, either to see Wang Xuexiao or Xue Wu. If that's the case, you may feel a little disappointed, but you will also be a little relieved. I didn't expect him to lock himself in his room and write something for himself, what is this writing? After reading it, how should I respond, and in what direction should the relationship between the two go in the future?

The thinking of the sick person is not as sensitive as usual, and a series of questions have caused her heart to be confused, all kinds of thoughts come to her, and her face has become red. The maid hurriedly touched the young lady's forehead with her hand, "Huh? Don't have a fever? ”

"Idiot, what do you know? Bring that thing and show it to me. ”

It was a folded piece of rice paper, and there was a lot of content written in it, but there was nothing that the girl imagined, which made her blush and heartbeat, or didn't know how to deal with herself. I can't say whether it's relief or disappointment. If you look closely, you can see that the text on it is actually a number of entries, like a doctor's order. These include having to drink boiling water, boiling vinegar in the room, and keeping the air clear. The way smallpox was transmitted, and then according to these arguments, the girl only had a cold, and could not have been smallpox. And then there's some little remedies for colds and the like.

At this time, there is a saying that if you are not a good person, you are a good doctor, and the reader will more or less order medical skills, and generally do not grab food with Langzhong, but they can understand it if they have to take a prescription. Fan Jin's prescription is not very clever, but it is very serious.

The latter is a lot of precautions, such as preventing the cold symptoms from worsening and metastasizing, turning into other symptoms, and what to see after what reactions, or what to do to prevent. The writing is not big, a piece of paper is all written, and it will be finished.

After reading it, the girl pouted and said, "It's more annoying than my mother...... Really, a big man's mother-in-law's, it's a trivial matter......"

"Then go and burn it."

"Shut up! There's no place for you to talk here, so don't tell anyone about this, remember? Also, if you go to Liu's Mansion tomorrow, aren't the two servants beside Brother Liu very familiar with you? You ask them to bring a message to Brother Liu, Miss Xu Liu may or may not have smallpox, please be sure to read the medicine book, find out the cure for smallpox as soon as possible, in case it is really smallpox, count on him to save his life. There is also this matter that must be kept secret, and Brother Liu is reminded not to leak the news. ”

scolded the maid away, and the girl did not throw away the paper, but held it in front of her eyes and looked at it again. In the four corners of the paper, a few smiling faces were drawn with pencils, this kind of painting style and pattern, no one except Fan Jin did it at the moment. Looking at those paintings, the girl couldn't help but show a wry smile on her face...... Confidants are rare, and a good brother may be more rare than a good father-in-law.

When people are sick, they are not more energetic than usual, and they are actually very lazy in looking at things, but she took this piece of paper in her hand and looked at it many times before she carefully folded it and put it in a small sachet close to her body. Her head was a little dizzy, she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep, pulled the quilt, and Fan Jin's voice sounded in her mind subconsciously. "Don't cover the quilt too tightly......"

"Annoying, mother-in-law...... will become a relative in the future, and his wife will be annoyed to death by him. The girl muttered, the quilt loosened slightly, and fell into a deep sleep, and the girl in her sleep showed a beautiful smile, which has rarely appeared since that day of dance.

When the next day passed, Fan Jin arrived as promised, Chunxiang had already gone to Liu Kanzhi's house to deliver a letter, and there was no one in the room to serve, so everything could only be done by Fan Jin himself. He poured himself water, poured another cup for the woman, and stepped forward to serve her to drink.

Sending the maid to deliver the letter, she was carrying Zhang Sixiu behind her back, so naturally no one knew that there was no one in the girl's room, and before the maid came back, she had to be thirsty, and when she drank water, her lips were already a little dry. Fan Jin muttered,

"Didn't I tell you that you must drink plenty of water. In fact, to be honest, what medicine has how effective it is, Lang Zhong himself may not be clear, I know that the best medicine to use is actually water. The premise must be boiling water, you love to drink raw water, this problem must be changed, raw water must not be drunk...... And what snow water, what snow water on plum blossoms collected for a year, that thing can't be ......"

"Alright...... You're a brother and not a sister-in-law, don't be so annoying. The girl had a rare snort, and Fan Jin closed her mouth. Zhang Shi looked at Fan Jin, "I heard that Brother Fan has been writing hard in the room for the past two days, could it be that he is writing some article?" ”

"There is no article, just write something, in fact, it may not be very useful when it comes to it." As he spoke, Fan Jin had already taken out a self-bound notebook from his body, which was bound by himself with bamboo paper, and the quality was acceptable. There are both text and graphics in it, and it is difficult to see clearly for a while.

Fan Jin said: "This is the disaster relief note I wrote, which is basically based on the disaster situation in our Guangdong region, as well as some situations in the countryside, and sorted out the precautions by myself. I thought about offering it, but after thinking about it, I still forgot it, after all, I wrote it for two days, and it was a pity to let Ying Tianfu take it directly to light the fire when the time came. These pro-people officials have been in office for so long, and they are more familiar with the local situation than I am, and people must have thought of what I can think of. What I can't think of, people can think of, so I won't be ugly. ”

"Brother Fan is too modest, can I let my little sister see this thing?"

"Of course, but what you need now is rest, don't look at this fatigue. Actually, I can send it to Brother Kanzhi, I heard that he is going to mobilize some gentry and government forces in the city to help him recently, and it would be best if he could provide him with some help. ”

The girl smiled and did not speak. Fan Jin poured another glass of boiling water and waited for her to drink it. The woman said: "Brother Fan, even if it is the scholars around my brother, I will not serve my brother to drink water, this kind of thing is done by people, how can a scholar be condescending." What's more, you are a man, and you are very shameless when you serve a woman to drink water. Unless it is an elder, even if it is a husband...... I mean, no matter how close a person is, a man feels embarrassed to do this. ”

"They are them, I am me, and I never feel awkward about men serving women. If this is all awkward, what will my wife do in the future? ”

The woman sneered, "Brother Fan should get to know Qi Nantang another day, you two must have something to say." Having said that, Brother Fan wrote a lot about how smallpox spreads and how it spreads, you know that? ”

"I just know a little bit about it."

The girl said: "If it is according to what Brother Fan said, the sister of the Xu family should not be infected with smallpox, she doesn't have this opportunity." ”

"Yes, so I said, Miss Six is most likely a wind chill, of course, it's not wrong to beat Xu Weizhi, who let him not prepare a warm sedan chair for his sister. Miss, don't worry, the auspicious person, Miss Six has a good character, naturally there is a good reward, this disease will not be smallpox. ”

"I hope so...... But the simple wind and cold, the Xu family will not make such a big fuss, I always feel unstable in my heart, and I want to go to see her, but I am sick ......"

"If you go now, you may not see anyone, just wait until the condition is decided, and then it's not too late to leave. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, wind and cold can be big or small, if it turns into other diseases, it will be very serious. This gang of Langzhong, it's okay to see a doctor, but the medicine is worse, knowing your identity, I don't dare to use the medicine indiscriminately, only use the Taiping, how can this cure the good people? I had to drink more water and rest more, hoping to rely on my own immunity to survive the disease. ”

The girl smiled, "It's wordy, it's getting more and more like a sister-in-law." You can play a game of chess with me, I've been really bored lately. ”

Five days have passed, and Zhang's illness has been good and bad, repeating several times, but on the whole, it is still developing in a good direction. At this time, news came from the Wei State Mansion that Miss Xu Liu's body had been found in the red class, which could be diagnosed, that is, smallpox!
