Chapter 101: Dedication
Shunfeng Express is located in the delivery shop of Chuzhou, at the head of Beishen Town, Shanyang County, Shanyang Prefecture.
Around noon, Nie Pozi drove the car and stopped at the door of the delivery shop.
Hu Laohan, who was in charge of the delivery shop, was squatting at the door of the delivery shop, carefully cleaning up a basket of grass, shaking it out and spreading it on the broken mat to dry the dew, and when he saw Nie Pozi, he hurriedly stood up, trotted up, and led the horse to unload the horse.
"It's the shopkeeper Nie, where are you from? Have you eaten it? The shopkeeper Zou Da just passed by us the day before yesterday. Hu Laohan unloaded his horse neatly, and talked to Nie Pozi with a smile.
"Come over to Shanyang Mansion, you haven't eaten yet, have you eaten? I didn't eat it, but I was just thinking about eating a bowl of mixed noodles.
Let the dog and his grandmother have more bowls of noodles, you go buy a few catties of braised pork, and let's add a dish. Nie Pozi said, took out a string of forty or fifty big coins from the car, and handed it to Hu Laohan.
Hu Laohan hurriedly took the money, first shouted at the dog and his grandmother, then unloaded the horse, hugged the grass and fed it, and then went to the town to buy braised meat.
It's already a little hot, and in the yard of the shop, Hu Laohan's wife, dog and grandmother have moved outside to cook.
In the yard, a shed was built next to the kitchen, and the dog's grandmother was bending down and noodles under the shed.
Nie Pozi entered the yard, talked to Grandma Dog, watched her add a scoop of noodles and reconcile, rolled the noodles together, sat down in front of the stove, and lit the fire.
As soon as the water boiled, the dog's grandmother was shaking the noodles into the pot, and at the gate of the courtyard, a timid female voice came in:
"Auntie, do you want eggs?"
"Yo! I was about to buy eggs...... "The dog's grandmother, who was shaking the noodles into the pot, sighed, and Nie Pozi smiled busily: "You're busy with you, I'll take a look." Want! It's all there, here it is! ”
As she spoke, Nie Pozi stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove and walked to the gate of the courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, a young woman, sweating hotly and pale, carrying a child on her back and a basket full of eggs in her hand, heard the sound, put the basket on the ground, squatted on the threshold, untied the child, and held it in her arms.
"Is this kid sick?" Nie Pozi went to see the child first.
The child's cheeks were red, his eyes were squinting, he seemed to be crying instead of crying, and he looked groggy.
"Yes, I sold the eggs, and I went to the county to find a doctor." The woman held the child in her arms and pulled her sleeve to wipe the child's snot from her mouth.
"Let me see." Nie Pozi reached out and touched the child's forehead.
The forehead was very hot, and Nie Pozi looked carefully at the child's tearful, seemingly closed eyes, as well as the red flush on the cheeks around her mouth, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that it was not very good, and she couldn't help frowning and asked, "This child, do you have diarrhea?" Looking at this, I don't want to open it, is it afraid of the light? ”
"It's a little diarrhea, it seems to be a little afraid of the light, I open my eyes in the house, and as soon as I go out, I've been sick for four or five days, and I don't get better." The woman saw that Nie Pozi was obviously knowledgeable, so she hurriedly sent the child to Nie Pozi.
Nie Pozi stared at the red dots that spread out from the child's mouth to her cheeks, twisted her eyebrows, and reached out to press on the child's pulse.
After a moment, Nie Pozi motioned to the woman, "You let him open his mouth and stick out his tongue so that I can see." ”
The woman hurriedly opened the child's mouth, and Nie Pozi looked at it carefully, and her expression became solemn.
"What's wrong?" Grandma Dog had already cooked the meal, wiped her hands with her apron, and came over to ask.
"Don't come here, you have a child at home, this child is sick, I'm afraid it's too much." Nie Pozi stopped the dog's grandmother.
"What village are you from? You Murakami, is he the only one who is sick, or is there anyone else who is sick like him? Nie Pozi looked at the woman and asked.
The woman's face turned even paler, "It's not me Nier, all the babies in the village are like this, I'm sick very badly, it's all like this, coughing, it's all like I'm like Nier, tears and snot, I'm the most powerful, aunt?" ”
"What's wrong?" Grandma Gou listened to Nie Pozi's words very much, Nie Pozi didn't let her get close, she didn't dare to get close, she only stretched her neck and asked anxiously.
"You serve a bowl of noodles and give them two to eat.
It just so happened that the old beard was back.
Old beard, you hurry up and put the car on it, load me some hay and put it in the back of the car, all of which are fine.
After a while, I opened a prescription, and in this town, I remember that there is a pharmacy, you go and buy a few more medicines.
Also, buy some more food, buy more. Nie Pozi commanded neatly, wrapped her hands in a handkerchief, and took a small piece of broken silver to Hu Laohan.
Hu Laohan responded repeatedly, stuffed a large bag of braised pork he had just bought back to his wife, and hurriedly loaded the car with forage to buy things.
"Don't worry, it's okay, I'm just too hot, don't be afraid."
Nie Pozi looked at the frightened woman who was about to cry, and hurriedly relieved: "Your Nier's illness is outstanding, it's not serious, it's not a big deal, it's definitely okay, don't be afraid, ah!"
Here, you hold Nier, get in the car first, sit here, you eat something, and feed Nier something.
Wait until we get the medicine and buy good things, I'll eat a bowl of noodles again, and when it's all right, I'll send you back, don't worry, I'll see that your Nier is well before leaving.
This is the fate of our mother, don't be afraid. ”
Nie Pozi said, carrying the basket of eggs, put them on the car first, hung up the curtain, let the woman get in the car and sit down first, and then took a large bowl of noodles from the dog's grandmother and handed it to the woman.
"There are eggs lying in the noodles, you eat two, give your baby one, don't give the braised meat to the baby, she is sick and can't hold it." The dog's grandmother raised her voice to the woman.
"Thank you, auntie." The woman took the bowl and thanked her, and the tears fell.
"Hot water in the kettle, put more salt, I'll wash it." Nie Pozi motioned to Grandma Dog.
The dog's grandmother responded and hurried to boil water.
Nie Pozi carefully washed her hands and face, took a pen and paper from the back of the car, wrote a letter, sealed the letter with her own small seal, and tied the black filament rope that represented the most urgent inside the downwind outside the letter.
When Hu Laohan came back from his busy work, he saw the 100,000 urgent letter, and quickly called the rider who was resting in the backyard of the delivery shop, led two healthy horses, and hurriedly rushed to Jianle City to deliver the letter.
Nie Pozi wrote the prescription again, and Hu Laohan hurriedly went to grab the medicine again, and bought a bunch of dry baked cakes, bacon meat, pickles, etc.
Nie Pozi ate a bowl of rice, cleaned up, sat in front of the car, and drove out of the town.
"Auntie, my Nizi's illness is not serious, right?" The woman sitting behind Nie Pozi couldn't help but ask.
"Our Nier must be fine, don't worry. What's your last name? What about your man? Nie Pozi diverted from the conversation.
"My mother's surname is Sun, my mother-in-law's surname is Zhang, there is little work in the field at this time, and Nier went to work in Shanyang Mansion.
He has no skills, so he has the strength to do it, and I am a bricklayer in the lobby of my mother's house, and I will take him to the construction site to make a lot of money. ”
Nierniang hugged Nier and talked to Nie Pozi, "Auntie, what are you doing?" Why do you say that if you go home with me, you really go home with me? What about your home? ”
"Did you see that downwind delivery shop just now? I'm the shopkeeper of the Shunfeng family. In the past, she was a medicine woman, and she treated women and children for 20 years. Nie Pozi said with a smile.
"You are a woman, can a woman still be a shopkeeper?" Nierle was amazed.
"Why not? We are in charge of the wind, just a woman, only in her early twenties, good-looking and capable, very powerful. Nie Pozi said that they were in charge, with a proud face.
They're in charge, that's amazing!
"In your early twenties? Is it really that powerful? Nierniang listened to the words, looked at the car, and then looked at the two big green mules, envious.
Niel snorted uncomfortably, trying to move but couldn't.
Nier's mother was busy hugging Nier, moving her more comfortably, bowing her head and sticking it on Nier's face, looking at Nie Pozi and saying, "Auntie, what is Nier's disease?" Nier's face and body are very hot, and the heat can't go away. ”
"Her illness is just to be sent out, don't be afraid, in another day or two, the fever will go down.
You feed her a few sips of water, and there it is, with warm water in the conference and cups there.
When we got home, we decocted the medicine and gave it to Nier, and it will get better slowly.
Don't worry, you haven't listened to the saying, illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, if you can't wait, you will get better slowly. ”
Nie Pozi comforted Nierniang gently.
Lady Nier was obviously much more relieved, took the pot from the warm pot, poured half a glass of water, and slowly fed it to Nier.
……………………
Nie Pozi's 100,000 urgent letter was handed to Li Sangrou in the early morning of the next day.
The guy on duty at the Shunfeng General Number was slapped open by the rider, and when he saw the letter, he immediately went straight to Fried Rice Lane, slapped the door open, and delivered the letter to Li Sangrou.
Li Sangrou glanced at it a few times, turned around and entered the house, grabbed a coat, and while wearing it, she raised her voice to call the golden retriever, and hurriedly followed her to Prince Rui's mansion.
Li Sangrou took the golden retriever and rushed to the side door of Prince Rui's mansion, slapped the door open, and the porter saw that it was a golden retriever, and immediately reported inside.
For a while, the emperor was not in good health, there were few early dynasties, and today is not an early dynasty, Gu Xi was still practicing, and he heard the porter say that he was in charge of Li Da, and he said that he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly came out with Wen Shunyi.
Li Sangrou waited in the side door, saw Gu Xi come out, and said bluntly: "It's an urgent letter from Nie Steward, saying that in the delivery shop outside Shanyang County, she saw a sick child, she felt that it must be a sore, as for measles or smallpox, her medical skills are limited, and she can't tell the difference."
She had already followed the sick child's home, and she said that she had smallpox and was not afraid, but there was only a limit to what she could do. ”
Gu Xi's face changed slightly, "This is a big deal, you wait for me in the concierge for a while, I'll change my clothes, let's enter the palace now." ”
Gu Xi confessed, turned around and hurriedly entered, and came out in a moment, the little guys had already led the horses out, Li Sangrou and the golden retriever had a horse for each person, got on the horse and went straight to Chenhui Gate.
Gu Jin hadn't gotten up yet, he was pushed awake by the breeze, and when he heard Gu Xi's invitation to see, he suddenly stood up, "Please!" ”
Gu Xi followed Li Sangrou, and when he hurriedly entered the ear house, Gu Jin's clothes were not yet dressed.
Gu Jin was inexplicably relieved when she saw Li Sangrou following behind Gu Xi.
If something happens to this, it's definitely not what he thinks, so that's good.
Gu Jin stretched out his arm, waited for the waiter to get dressed, looked at Gu Xi and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Shanyang Prefecture seems to have a plague, either measles or smallpox, you say." Gu Xi briefly explained and motioned to Li Sangrou.
"One of my stewards, Nie Pozi, was a medicine woman before me.
I have seen her medical skills, if she were a man, she would have been a famous doctor a long time ago.
It is also because the medical skills are very good, the little concubine of Di Xiucai's family, the doctor in Huaiyang Mansion refused to treat her, so she dared to come forward and tried to save people's lives.
She thinks it's sores, I don't think it's wrong, if it's measles, it's a little better, if it's smallpox, it's not a matter of medical skills.
When the letter came out, it was noon the day before yesterday, and it had been two nights and a half days. ”
Li Sangrou only carefully introduced Nie Pozi's medical skills, she said that it was a sore, and she trusted her.
Gu Jin's expression became cold, he watched the little waiter wait for his clothes, raised his hand to signal Gu Xi, Gu Xi stepped forward and carried him to the wheelchair and pushed the wheelchair out.
Gu Jin instructed Qingfeng: "Go and invite Wu Xiang and Du Xiang, ask the imperial doctor, and come to Ming'an Palace immediately." ”
Qingfeng agreed and trotted out.
Gu Xi pushed Gu Jin towards the side hall.
"You stay for a while, and for a while, maybe there's something to ask." Gu Jin looked at Li Sangrou and said with a smile.
Li Sangrou owed, followed behind, and entered the side hall.
Xiao Nei served a few snacks such as cheese and milk cake, and after the three of them finished eating, the tea just came up, and the nearest imperial doctor Zheng had already rushed outside the Ming'an Palace.
Wu Xiang and Du Xiang have always gotten up very early and arrived soon.
Gu Jin ordered three bowls of crisp cheese, watched the three of them eat, and only said a few simple words about Shanyang Mansion.
"How many doctors went to Huainan East Road? Where's the patrol? Gu Jin looked at the Imperial Doctor first and asked.
"Back to the prince, I went to three, two Hanlin medical officers, and one imperial doctor.
As usual, it should be two. Du Xiang was treated, and the two Huai were the most important places in the country, and they were the top priority, so the lower officials sent an additional Hanlin medical officer.
The line in Chuzhou, Huang Hanlin, has already passed Yangzhou, and in the fold handed over yesterday, it was said that everything was fine. ”
In the end, the Imperial Doctor couldn't help but hear his voice falling.
There is a sores in Sanyang House, it's not all good, it's all bad!
"How did you get the fold in? The official post that walked? Gu Xi asked.
"Yes. It was an excerpt written ten days ago and handed over from Yangzhou. The Imperial Doctor hurriedly bowed over to answer.
"The excerpt sent from Yangzhou ten days ago, then when he passed through Chuzhou, he was afraid that it would be twenty days ago, and twenty days ago, maybe it hadn't come out yet." Wu Xiang owes himself.
"The Nie Pozi who handed over the letter is a medicine woman and has been a medicine woman for nearly 20 years." Gu Jin pointed to the letter that the three of them had read, "Miss Li has seen Nie Pozi's medical skills and thinks her medical skills are very good.
Now, let's talk about it, how to deal with this matter best? ”
"Measles is only transmitted from child to child, and two or three out of ten people die, if it is measles, it is slightly better, if it is smallpox, it is a big deal." Du Xiang looked at Gu Jin and said.
He is in charge of the Tai Hospital, and he has to answer Gu Jin's question first.
"The wheat harvest is about to be harvested, and if rumors of the plague spread, it is a great disaster.
Most of the medicine women are witches, even if they have medical skills, they are limited, and they must be cautious about whether they are sores or not.
The meaning of the lower officials should not be fanfare, so as not to cause trouble due to rumors. "Wu Xiang owes himself.
"If it really is smallpox, it will be an even greater disaster. But it is indeed not appropriate to make a big show, even if it is smallpox, it should not be too public. Gu Xi looked at Gu Jin and said.
"That's the case, it should be dealt with quickly, but it should not be quiet." Wu Xiang nodded.
"If smallpox, at the beginning of the disease, one day earlier and one day later, it is very different, and the person who goes to deal with it must be able to mobilize the local officials and order the ban, or else, go down to the officials and take a trip, right?" Du Xiang looked at Gu Jin and said.
"If you go, it's too much movement. Let's take a trip. Gu Jin made up his mind very quickly, and first looked at Gu Xi and said: "Take your customs defense, if it is really smallpox, immediately in the name of the Ministry of War, block all the places, and lead the dispatch." If it is measles, whether it is blocked, let Zhihe listen to the will of the imperial doctor and arrange the scheduling. ”
"Okay." Gu Xi said simply.
"You pick a few Hanlin medical officers who are good at sores and are good at epidemic prevention, and immediately set off and rush to Shanyang Mansion.
Remember, pick the one that is fit. Gu Jin turned his head and ordered the imperial doctor, and then looked at Wu Xiang and Du Xiang and said: "All kinds of details in the middle are troublesome to the two ministers." I'll go into the palace and report to the emperor. ”
They agreed, and got up to take their leave.
Li Sangrou followed Gu Xi out of Ming'an Palace, and the golden retriever came out of the gatehouse and trotted to follow Li Sangrou.
"To the other side, I have to hurry up and make arrangements, if you have time in the evening, I will invite you? Where do you want to eat? Think about it first, around noon, I'll ask Ruyi to ask you. Gu Xi looked at Li Sangrou and smiled.
"Okay." Li Sangrou simply smiled.
