Chapter 52: A Mere Woman
The next day, Chen Ge went to Puji Hall as usual, but found that Puji Hall was not open.
She couldn't help frowning, she had known Wu Yan for so long, this was the first time she saw Puji Hall closed, after thinking about it, she went straight to Wu's house.
As soon as he came to Wu's house, before he could knock on the door, the door snapped open, and a thin man in gray walked out of it angrily, as if he didn't notice her existence, and ran quickly past her.
"Wu Chengqian! You bastard! You give me back! ”
At the same time, an angry woman's voice sounded, and a slightly chubby woman chased after her with a spatula, but where could she catch up with Wu Chengqian's pace as fast as a rabbit, she couldn't help jumping up and down in anger, and scolded on the street, but it was Wu Yan's mother Qian Shujing.
Chen Ge was confused, and just at this time, Wu Yan also ran out, and hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "What's wrong with Master?" ”
"Madame!" Wu Yan was a little surprised when she saw her, bit her lip and said anxiously: "Madam, please help persuade my father, how can he go to Changzhou at his age!" That day the plague of flowers was infected, but it would kill people! ”
Smallpox plague?!
Chen Ge's eyes sharpened, and he said, "What the hell is going on, you can tell me in detail." ”
After listening to Wu Yan's words, Chen Ge was a little stunned.
It turned out that Wei Yuan left in a hurry last night because of the smallpox epidemic in Changzhou!
This matter has not yet spread among the people, but last night, someone from the government knocked on the door of the Jizhou doctor's house overnight, hoping that they could go to Changzhou with the team of the prince.
The outbreak of the epidemic in Changzhou was caught off guard, smallpox was an absolute death plague in ancient times, with a high mortality rate and strong contagion, it is conceivable that Changzhou must be a hell on earth now, and it is the time when there is the greatest shortage of people.
If the spread of the epidemic cannot be controlled in time, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Two years ago, my brother was infected with the smallpox plague and died," Wu Yan has always been strong, and at this time he couldn't help choking up: "After my brother died, my father was decadent for a year and a half, and the Puji Hall was not opened, and he borrowed wine at home every day to burn his sorrows.
But I didn't expect that the abominable plague came again! As soon as my father heard that the plague that broke out in Changzhou was smallpox, he packed up his things overnight, and my mother and I didn't listen to any persuasion.
Daddy, this is not ...... Isn't this going to die? I know that Changzhou is very short of doctors now, and I shouldn't be so selfish, but madam, I don't want to lose my brother and my father again! ”
Chen Ge was originally thinking about things, but when he heard Wu Yan's painful words, he looked at her and said with a slight increase in the corners of his mouth: "Don't worry, I promise you, your father will be fine, and everyone will be fine." ”
Wu Yan was stunned and looked at her with some astonishment.
Chen Ge didn't say anything more, stood up and turned to Zhong Niang and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the Hou Mansion." ”
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Chen Ge asked Zhong Niang to wait at the gate, and as soon as the Marquis came back, he told her, and then called Lan Yi and said: "You go to the nearby village to observe the ploughing cattle there, and if you see a pus-filled cow on its body, you will find a way to squeeze out the juice in the pus-filled bag and put it in this silver box."
Pus pockets on cows generally grow on the cow's **, and you can focus on that place. ”
Lan Yi took the silver box handed to her by Chen Ge with some confusion, this is a more hands-on thing in Madame's dowry, it was originally a jewelry box, and Madame now asked her to use it to hold the juice of the pus on the cow's body?!
That's really ...... Tyrannical creatures!
"Madam, the slave maid can just take a bowl and put it in, there is no need for such a precious thing!"
Blue frowned in confusion.
"This is the only way to do it."
Chen Ge said lightly.
Silverware has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, and can also keep fresh, which is simply a natural treasure in ancient times when medical equipment was missing.
Seeing Chen Ge's resolute attitude, although Lan Yi was still confused, he still cautiously held the silver box to do things.
Anyway, what Madame said, there must be no mistake!
Even if the lady said that she wanted to use this silver box to hold cow dung, she must have a reason!
Not long after Lan Yi left, Zhong Niang came back and said, "Madam, the prince has just returned to the house, and the slave looks at the direction where he went to the study." ”
Chen Ge was slightly stunned and looked up at the sky.
I came back early today.
But he didn't think much about it, stood up and said, "Then let's go over." ”
It wasn't until he arrived in the study that Chen Ge knew the reason why Wei Yuan had come back so early.
In addition to him, there were also Lu Wen, Xiao Changfeng and a man she had never seen before.
The man looked to be forty or fifty years old, with a goatee, and seemed to be quite gentle, but as long as he saw the fierce light in his eyes, and the majesty he exuded throughout his body, no one would mistake him for a weak scholar.
Sensing that she had entered, the man immediately looked at her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his brows tightened, faintly with a hint of dissatisfaction.
The moment Chen Ge stepped into the study, his footsteps paused, and then his eyes were half-closed, and he walked to the middle of the room and saluted Wei Yuan, saying, "I've seen the prince." ”
She had come to Wei Yuan's courtyard on the night she fell off the cliff with Wei Yuan, so the guards guarding the door recognized her, and when they saw her, they immediately went in very diligently to help her report, plus the rhetoric she used was that she had a very important matter to discuss with the prince, so Wei Yuan would let her in in this case.
Wei Yuan frowned slightly, intuitively disliking the woman's distant and polite attitude, but he couldn't say anything in this situation, stood up, walked up to the slender woman, and said, "What's the urgency you have to find me?" ”
Those who are familiar with Wei Yuan can naturally see at a glance that when he looks at the woman in front of him, the lines of his face will unconsciously relax, and his tone is also gentle that he usually does not have.
Han Dong glanced at Wei Yuan on the main seat with some surprise, his brows furrowed even deeper, and the corners of his mouth pursed into an arc of majesty and dissatisfaction.
The lord was actually bewitched by that woman? What shame can such a woman who will elope with her lover be?!
The lord is still too young, and he has lacked the teachings of the big family since he was a child, and he doesn't understand the power of women! Sometimes the more beautiful and weak a woman is, the more insidious and vicious she is!
Such a woman is placed in the back house, or as their housewife, thinking about it, I feel that there is a hidden disaster!
Chen Ge naturally also noticed the fierce eyes full of oppression, but at this time, the situation was urgent, the smallpox virus was extremely contagious, and if it was delayed for a long time, one more person might die.
She raised her eyes and looked directly at Wei Yuandao: "Junhou, I heard that there is an outbreak of smallpox in Changzhou, and I hope to know the specific situation." ”
"Presumptuous!"
A deep and hoarse voice immediately sounded, Han Dong glared at the woman, and said, "As a woman in the back house, you have not done a good job in managing the family house and serving the lord, so you want to meddle in the lord's affairs, I really don't know what to do!" ”
What does a backhouse woman who only has a man in her heart know? Does she understand the common people? Do you understand the people? Do you know the art of battlefield governance? Or does she want to learn from those ancient demons who calamitized the country, and bewitched the lord to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain?
Because Chen Ge's words made everyone a little surprised, no one had time to stop Han Dong's words for a while.
The disdain in Han Dong's words made Chen Ge frown, and he couldn't help but sneer secretly, and said, "General, I haven't finished speaking, you know what I'm doing and I don't know what to do?" ”
"You!" Han Dong didn't expect this woman to be so bold and sharp-toothed, and directly bumped into him, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"General Han!" Lu Wen reacted first, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly glanced at the lord, and sure enough, seeing that his face had completely sunk, there was a kind of dark cloud covering the top, and hurriedly said: "Madame will not interfere in the lord's affairs at will on weekdays, she must have something urgent to tell the lord when she came over this time!" ”
Because General Han served by the old lord's side, he always unconsciously put on the shelf of the elders, and the lord also had a lot of respect for him on weekdays because of his relationship with the old lord, however, although he knew that he was dedicated to the lord, but that was their wife! Is that the attitude towards Madame?!
However, in General Han's heart, he may not have recognized Mrs. Chen as their wife at all!
"What urgent thing can a woman in the house have, I am afraid that she does not know the horror of smallpox."
If you knew, I'm afraid that you would be scared a long time ago!
Han Dong pursed his lips and snorted lightly.
Chen Ge suddenly, the corners of his mouth raised higher, looked at Han Dong, and said lightly: "General Han's wife must be a very virtuous woman, able to serve her in-laws, manage the back house, and teach her husband and children, General Han is indeed a blessed person."
It's a pity that Chen Ge can't meet General Han's standards. Chen Ge is not good at anything else, the only thing he is good at is to practice medicine to save people. ”
Everyone was stunned, even Han Dong was a little stunned, and couldn't help but look at her absurdly, and said, "The little girl doesn't know how thick the sky is!" In the face of the smallpox epidemic, he dared to say the words "go to the doctor to save people"! is the reincarnation of Bian Que, but I am afraid and dare not blow down such a big cowhide! ”
What is the smallpox epidemic, does she really know? It was a terrible deathly disease! Once it erupts, they can't do anything but watch that place become hell on earth!
The only thing that can be done may be to gather all the people and things that may be infected with that disease and set it on fire! Even so, the loss they will endure is unimaginable, and how many innocent people will lose their lives, or lose their loved ones and their homes, and be displaced?
In the face of such a plague that made doctors of all dynasties helpless, she was just a woman, and she dared to say the words "travel to the doctor to save people" so lightly?!
