Chapter 454: Antidote
Lu Qingjin's illness was menacing, and the bitter and unpleasant decoction was continuously sent into her yard, but her condition still did not improve.
Because Lu Qingjin couldn't afford to be ill, Qin Zhao was also greatly affected.
He was always concerned about the situation on her side, but he was entangled in busy official business, and he couldn't accompany her and take care of her.
Later, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent someone to move his office to Lu Qingjin's room, so that he could be with her.
But then he realized a new problem, he flipped through the books in a loud voice, which would affect her rest, but she was considerate of him, so she never said anything.
And if he is here, he will also have a lot of inconvenience when he meets those local officials, after all, it is a place for women to rest.
In the end, he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, and he ordered someone to open up a new room next to Lu Qingjin's room, which was temporarily used as his study, where he usually worked and met with officials.
The small study has no problems except that the space is a little cramped.
Qin Zhao's study and Lu Qingjin's room were only separated by a wall, and once she coughed in a low voice over there, Qin Zhao threw down the official business in her hand and ran over without saying a word.
Lu Qingjin didn't want to drag him down, so he covered himself in the quilt every time he coughed, and Qin Zhao found out and was scolded by a bloody dog.
Under Qin Zhaohe's careful care of the maids, Lu Qingjin's condition gradually improved, but I don't know why, his condition has been going back and forth, so that Qin Zhao doesn't dare to take it lightly.
The illness dragged on for nearly half a month, and Qin Zhao was so panicked that he couldn't stand any official duties, so he sent someone to invite the most famous doctor in the Jiangnan area.
"Doctor, my wife has been sick for several days, why hasn't she recovered for a long time?" Qin Zhao frowned.
"Master Qin, Madame is like this because her body is too weak. I heard that the two of them came from the capital, maybe the lady is not used to the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River, so the body feels unwell. Wait for the old man to open a pharmacy to recuperate his body, and he can get better after drinking it for three or five days. The doctor stroked his beard from his chin.
"I'm tired of the doctor, Binglan, you send the doctor out of the house first." With that, he threw himself on the side of the bed again and probed Lu Qingjin's forehead.
"Doctor, please come here." Binglan respectfully led the doctor out.
"Your lord and wife are really in love." The doctor smiled and said, "I have practiced medicine for decades, and such couples are really rare, and your lord and wife are blessed people." ”
"Doctor Xie, you have a good word." Binglan smiled slightly, and took out a silver ingot from her cuff, which Qin Zhao had ordered her before.
"No, no, no, it's too expensive." The doctor hurriedly waved his hand.
"Doctor, you don't need to be polite, if you cure my wife, you will be our great benefactor." Binglan couldn't help but stuff the silver ingot into the doctor's arms.
The doctor had no choice but to hand the silver ingot, "After I finish writing the prescription, I will send my apprentice to send it over." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you."
Facts have proved that this doctor really lives up to his reputation, Lu Qingjin only drank four patches according to the prescription, and he was able to get out of bed and walk, and his legs would not tremble and weaken.
As soon as she recovered from her illness, the whole person began to make a fuss, and she kept shouting to go out for a walk, "Qin Zhao! I've been locked in my room for so long, I'm about to get sick, so let me go out for a walk! ”
"No, your illness has just recovered, you can't take it lightly, just wait a few more days." Qin Zhao rejected her without thinking about it.
"The doctors said that my illness has been cured, and you are not a doctor, I want to listen to the doctor!" Lu Qingjin stomped his feet dissatisfied, "And I have all the strength in my body now, I can run and jump, where is I like a sick person?" ”
"The doctor did say that your illness has been cured, but you still need to recuperate, it is windy outside, what should you do if you go out and blow when you get sick again?" Qin Zhao looked at her helplessly.
She's bigger than that stack of official duties.
"The doctor is talking about recuperation, not confinement! Rest requires the patient to have a good mood, I am locked in the room, what good mood can I have! Besides, I'm afraid that the wind will be strong, so I'll just wear a few more clothes, I'll just walk around, just in the house, and don't go anywhere else. Lu Qingjin hugged Qin Zhao's arm and was coquettish.
Qin Zhao looked down at her, and saw her pouting with an aggrieved look, and his heart softened for a moment.
Seeing this, Lu Qingjin realized that he was about to succeed, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued, "You don't know, I can only lie in bed these days, and I can't do anything except drink that bitter decoction...... Depressed to death. ”
"Okay, you ask Binglan and the others to add two more clothes for you, you are only allowed to be in the mansion, and you must come back within half an hour!" Qin Zhao finally compromised.
Lu Qingjin was satisfied, "Yes! It's the best to be a husband! ”
With Binglan's fuss and Jing Shu's support, Lu Qingjin leisurely wandered around the mansion.
"What a lie down someone! It's so unlucky! ”
"Drag her away! Too unlucky! ”
"I don't dare go, what if she gets the plague?"
Lu Qingjin heard a commotion from the door of the Liang Mansion from a distance.
"Binglan, go take a look." Lu Qingjin commanded.
Binglan nodded and trotted over to inquire about the situation.
"Ma'am." She trotted back again, "There is a little girl lying at the door of the Liang Mansion, the little girl is delirious, and she is muttering some unintelligible words, and the people of the Liang Mansion think that she has the plague, and say that they want to throw her away. ”
"The plague?" Lu Qingjin frowned, "Let's go over and take a look." ”
"No, ma'am, your illness is just right, what if she really gets the plague and you are infected?" Jing Shu hurriedly spoke out to stop her.
Lu Qingjin pondered for a moment, "If I am allowed to watch my life die, I will be really uncomfortable." ”
Lu Qingjin approached the little girl, only to see that her lips trembled slightly, and there were no red bumps on her face, not like a person who had the plague, "She didn't contract the plague, so take her to my yard." ”
"Madame!" Jingshu shouted anxiously.
Plague is too dangerous, especially when encountering unknown people, so you need to be even more cautious.
"Listen to me!" Lu Qingjin glared at Jing Shu.
Now the subordinates of the Liang Mansion thought that she was a good doctor, and she believed that she was not infected with the plague, so they helped her take the little girl back to the courtyard.
"Jingshu, go and ask for a doctor."
"Binglan, you go get a basin of hot water."
Lu Qingjin threw the towel in the hot water, wrung it out and wiped it for the little girl himself.
The little girl woke up slowly, "Madame! Are you Madame Qin? ”
"I am, what's wrong?" Lu Qingjin didn't know why.
"Madam Qin, I'm here to find you, I have the antidote to the plague here." The little girl handed her a piece of paper.
