Chen Ge was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Wei Yuan, and seeing that he looked as usual, he picked up the cup of tea and took a shallow sip.

The tea was slightly hot, but it was just enough to eat, and the tea rolled down her throat, instantly warming her body from the inside out.

Indeed, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting colder and colder.

It wasn't until she left the study that Chen Ge suddenly remembered that Wei Yuan's expression seemed to be a little strange, which made her blush and heartbeat a little when she thought about it now.

She walked to her yard in a bit of a trance, but she didn't expect to meet Han Dong who turned back on the way.

Han Dong seemed to be very surprised when he saw her, and his brows were already subconsciously locked.

Chen Ge stopped and nodded slightly at him, "General Han." ”

Only then did Han Dong remember that he seemed to be saluting her, no matter what he thought in his heart, he couldn't help but listen to what the lord said, so he clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a slightly deep voice: "I've seen Madame." ”

Chen Ge naturally saw the reluctance on his face, but he didn't bother to care, his thoughts were just the thoughts of most men in this era, thinking that women should stay in the backyard to teach their husbands and children, and daring to meddle in their husband's affairs at will is a big rebellion, and maybe there are some prejudices against her as a person.

This kind of self-righteous and stubborn person, it is useless to reason with him, he can only wait for him to turn the corner, or there will be no time in this life.

She nodded again, and was about to pass him away, but suddenly, she heard Han Dong say in a deep voice: "I heard that Madame is still living in the courtyard with the Lord, I don't know if this is Madame's wishes?" ”

After he left, he realized that there was still something to tell the lord, so he turned back, but he didn't expect to hear a few sweeping boys in the middle of the way, and he couldn't help but stop and listen to a few more words.

What they said surprised him, the woman still lives alone in another courtyard, and according to them, she never slept in the same room with her lord when she was in the mansion!

He also thought that looking at the lord's protective and conniving attitude towards her, she must have already caught the lord's heart, and no matter how bad it was, there would be a wind blowing on the pillow every night.

This information made him a little confused, although he didn't want to admit it, but according to Fang Cai's situation, the matter of living in a separate house was definitely not brought up by the lord.

is also a man, he knows too well that if a man likes a woman, although he will not worry about it day and night, he must be unable to help but think of her in his free time and want to be with her all the time.

Chen Ge didn't expect him to ask this, he subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable, looked at the sky silently, and then said with a smile: "This is a matter between me and the prince and his wife, but it is not good to tell General Han." ”

It's almost like you're an outsider, why should you care about the affairs of the two of them.

Han Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the woman in front of him scrutinically for a while before he said, "It's abrupt."

Madame's knowledge made Zai Xia admire, and Madame, as a woman, actually stood up at such a juncture, which also surprised Zaixia. ”

Although he changed the subject, this thing sounded sarcastic.

Chen Ge couldn't help laughing, looked at him and said, "I know that General Han has a prejudice against me because of the previous incident in Laiyang, and I don't care what General Han thinks of me, but General Han, as the general who commands the army, has no evidence just because of the speculation in his heart, so he casually concludes on one thing, which still surprises Chen Ge." ”

Han Dong looked at her in surprise, couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "You ......"

How could he have been hit by a junior like this, and he was still a woman!

"As for General Han's question, why I have to come forward at such a juncture, it is naturally because I happen to know how to prevent smallpox."

Chen Ge didn't seem to see his round eyes, and said lightly: "Although I am not a prince and don't need to worry about the people of Changzhou, but I am not such a cold-blooded and ruthless person, I can't watch innocent people die, I don't know what General Han thinks, but my reason is so simple." ”

"Hmph, that's easy!" Han Dong's face was still unkind, he shook his hand suddenly, and put his hand behind his back, "What if your method doesn't work, and even causes a more serious illness because of it!" When the time comes, who will bear this responsibility? ”

He still thinks it's hopelessly ridiculous to prevent smallpox by infecting people with animal diseases!

"No, even if General Han wants to hold me accountable, it seems too early."

Chen Ge just looked at him calmly, and his determined and confident expression made Han Dong stunned for a moment.

After Chen Ge finished speaking, he didn't explain anything, nodded to Han Dong again, and walked without stopping.

Han Dong couldn't help but stand in place for a long time, until the woman's figure was no longer visible, and he didn't take a single step, with a hint of surprise and contemplation on his face.

Isn't it, is it true that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

However, what kind of identity is the lord, the position of the lord's wife, naturally not everyone can sit, whether it is a person with bad intentions or a stupid and arrogant person, sitting in this position is a huge hidden danger for the lord!

If she wasn't the lord's wife today, just a concubine or a roommate, he wouldn't be so critical of her.

Han Dong pursed the corners of his lips, and there was a solemnity in his tightly knit brows, before he turned around and strode towards Wei Yuan's study.

……

When Chen Ge returned to the room, Lan Yi had already returned, and when she saw Chen Ge, she immediately handed the small silver box in her hand to Chen Ge and said, "Madam, the slave maid just went to the village outside the city, and she met a sick cow with blisters on her body.

When the slave and maid heard this, this ...... It is a plague among cattle, and although it is not fatal, it is often a headache for farmers, because the cattle with this disease will have an increased body temperature, lose their appetite, and will not be able to work.

Madame, what exactly do you want to do when you collect these pox pulps? ”

After listening to the farmer's words, she couldn't help but think of the smallpox epidemic in Changzhou that Wu Niangzi said, and she was always a little uneasy in her heart.

Isn't there any correlation between the two?

Chen Ge took the silver box and said with a smile: "You will know soon, help me prepare a knife, a spoon, a piece of clean gauze, a bowl of boiling water and the small bottle of alcohol I refined a few days ago, I will go take a shower first." ”

Lan Yi was slightly stunned and looked at the sky.

It's not dark yet, and Madame is taking a shower so early?

Although he was getting more and more confused, he still prepared everything according to what Chen Ge said.

Chen Ge came out of the shower, changed into clean and loose clothes, wiped the knife and spoon with alcohol, and then soaked it in boiling water for a while before taking it out and putting it on a piece of clean gauze.

Then he lifted his sleeve, picked up the knife, and made a cut on the white and delicate skin.

"Madame!"

Although Zhong Niang and Lan Yi had a bad premonition as early as when Chen Ge picked up the knife, it was still too late, seeing the extremely conspicuous and dazzling wound on the flawless skin, Zhong Niang hurriedly stood up and was about to find a healing ointment.

"Don't panic."

Chen Ge let out a low sigh, then opened the small silver box, picked up the spoon, scooped up the thick slurry with the handle of the spoon, and carefully applied it to the wound.

"Madame, what are you doing!" Zhong Niang was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she wanted to go up, but she was stopped by Chen Ge's eyes, and she was anxious and at a loss for a while.

That...... That's the slurry in the bovine pus! Such a dirty thing, how can Madame smear it on herself!

"It's fine."

Chen Ge couldn't explain too much, so he could only comfort Zhong Niang like this, until he felt that the slurry on his arm was naturally drying, and then he lowered his sleeves.

Although Wei Yuan stopped her from doing experiments on herself, she knew the safety of cowpox cultivation, as long as she paid attention not to be infected by bacteria in the process, there would be no big problem.

Anyway, it will be planted sooner or later, so it is better to do it now, and cowpox planting may not be successful at one time.

Although she knew about cowpox cultivation, she had not experienced it herself, because smallpox was almost extinct in her time, and her knowledge of cowpox cultivation came from the older generation and books, and she could better understand it by trying it herself.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he asked Lan Yi to put away these things, walked to the study, took out a pile of paper full of images painted on it, and took out a new piece of paper, carefully wrote down the methods and precautions for refining medical alcohol, folded them and put them in an envelope, called Lan Yi and said: "Send it to the prince, and say that if there is anything unclear in the process of building the utensils, you can come and ask me." ”

Lan Yi accepted the envelope and looked at Chen Ge with unconcealed concern before saying, "The slave will go over." ”
