Chapter 395: Trying the Medicine
Xia Qiu took a bath by herself, blew out the lights, put down the curtains and went to sleep. Seeing that he was sleeping deeply, she snuggled up and hugged him to sleep.
In the second half of the night, Lu Tingxiu woke up and hurriedly repaired the cave room.
Xia Qiu was woken up by him, and he went with him in a daze.
Xiao Jingyu didn't have much leave, so after eating in the morning, he rode back to the north, and asked Lu Tingxiu to work hard before leaving, striving to let his grandmother hug his great-grandson as soon as possible.
After discussion, Wu Ze and his wife planned to stay in Liangzhou for development.
Xia Qiu was very happy, afraid that they would feel inconvenient in the house, so he took the Lin family to see the house. The yard is not big, but it is quiet, the important thing is that it is not far from the Lu Mansion, and it will pass by raising your feet, and you can go back to your parents' house at any time to eat.
Old man Tu didn't go with him, so Xia Qiu asked him to stay in the house and preside over the opening of the medical hall. As for the need for manpower for preparation, it just happened to let the Jin family take the lead.
Lin is a smart person, he quickly saw the clues, and also guessed the sister-in-law's thoughts, seeing that Jin was hesitant, he persuaded: "Mother, I am not too old to take care of myself." ”
The Jin family had no scruples and agreed to help the old man Tu.
The Lin family is a sensible person with a long-term vision, Xia Qiu doesn't want to treat his brother badly, so the grain store directly gives him a share, which is considered a joint venture between the brothers and sisters.
By the time the business was on the right track, it was late spring, and Lin's father and mother also came to Liangzhou to make a living, Lin's father found a private school to continue teaching, and Lin's mother took care of her pot-bellied daughter.
Summer is approaching, the Lin family gave birth to a daughter, and the Jin family helped deliver the baby, which made the family very happy. The family has plenty of money and no shortage of food and clothing, when she is a baby.
Inherited from generation to generation, the little niece inherited the appearance of the Jin family, and she is a delicate and transparent jade doll, which can make the Lin family happy. If the girl is beautiful and well-bred, she will definitely be able to find a good in-law in the future.
With a granddaughter, the Jin family wanted to take a break to come back to take the child, but the Lin family pushed it tactfully, saying that he could let Lin's mother help take it. Bringing children is the most tiring, Jin's heart disease can't be overworked, and Lin is really worried about making her mother-in-law tired.
The Lin family had no dissenting intentions, but the Jin family thought that she disliked herself, so she was depressed for a while.
"Mother, I said that you are just worrying, isn't it good to treat diseases and save people? With the help of your own mother to watch the children, you should have fun. ”
In anger, Jin felt that his daughter was not intimate, "You have been married to Lord Lu for almost half a year, why hasn't your stomach moved?" ”
Xia Qiule hehe, "Fate hasn't arrived, it doesn't matter if I was born a few years later than Lord Lu, now he is busy." ”
"In the future, won't you let me bring your child?" The granddaughter didn't bring it, and the Jin family was sullen, feeling that the child couldn't help it, and all the ideas were very big.
"Mother, if you want to take care of a child so much, you can give birth to one yourself."
Jin was so angry that he turned around and went back to the Hanging Pot Pavilion for a consultation.
Xiao Shao looked at the Jin family leaving, and said worriedly: "Sister, aren't you afraid that Aunt Jin will be really angry?" ”
Xia Qiu is really not afraid, my mother now has the skills to support herself, she can make her own ideas when she speaks and does things, and her personality has gradually become prominent, and she is no longer like before.
She is slowly turning back into herself, the former nylon cotton.
Xia Qiu likes her little niece Wu Yu very much, and sometimes she will take her back to the house to play, and say to Lu Ting: "In the future, I will also give birth to a girl, as beautiful as Yu'er." ”
It's strange to say, Lu Tingxiu has a casual and approachable temperament, but he doesn't seem to like children, and he doesn't look at Wu Yu much, listening to Xia Qiu's praise non-stop, and occasionally responding coldly.
Xia Qiu thought that he remembered his childhood misfortunes, and slowly stopped holding his niece in front of him to show off.
Just after Wu Yu's 100-day banquet, the plague broke out in Hexian County, and the epidemic spread quickly, Lu Tingxiu took the government to Hexian County to take command, not only blockading Hexian, but also quarantining several towns where the epidemic occurred.
As soon as the county was blocked, the people panicked, and prices rose wildly. Xia Qiu contacted Boss Lei's dart team and took the risk to transport grain and vegetables, especially medicines, to Hexian County, selling them at a conscience price, and also donated a large number of them.
Even so, the people of Hexian County are still overstretched, more and more people are dying, and every day people in the epidemic area are rushing out for their lives, and even fighting with officers and soldiers.
In the name of the prefect's wife, Xia and Autumn organized charity activities in Liangzhou, and all the funds raised were used to help the people in the epidemic area.
Old man Tu had treated the plague earlier, and although the epidemic in Hexian County this time was different from the previous ones, he was the most experienced.
The doctor's parents were concerned, and he went to River County without telling the Jin family and entered the town where the epidemic was most severe.
Unexpectedly, the Jin woman disguised herself as a man and followed into the epidemic area.
Old man Tu scolded for the first time, and scolded Jin's head and face, "Are you in the water in your brain?" I'm alone, and I don't have anything to worry about. If you have an accident, how can I explain it to the girl? ”
Jin has his own insistence, "You taught me so much, it is used to treat diseases and save people, now is the time when you need help the most, how can I not come?" ”
According to the government's order, once you enter the epidemic, you can no longer get out.
Xia Qiu was about to go crazy when she found out, and followed closely to Laihe County. There are many levels, even if she is the prefect's wife, she has no privileges, this is still a death order from the prefect.
Old man Tu and Jin's visited the epidemic area, prescribing medicine over and over again, and Xia and Qiu were trying to find a way to get the needed medicinal materials to Hexian County.
In the most difficult month, Xia Qiu went to the checkpoint almost every day and met the Jin family from afar, but who knew that she didn't show up for several days.
The bad news came, Tu Lao Mad, a dead madman, in order to study the epidemic, actually tried the epidemic himself.
Xia Qiu was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations. If he wants to die, he will die by himself, and A-Niang is also inside.
According to A-Niang's character, she will never abandon the old man.
Jin never appeared again, there was another doctor, and when he needed new medicine, he would come from afar.
Xia Qiu was crazy, and even had the impulse to find Lu Tingxiu, and went through the back door to get the two out.
She hesitated for a long time, but still didn't speak.
After suffering for half a month, just when Xia Qiu was looking through the autumn water, the Jin family appeared again.
She lost a lot of weight, but she was still in good spirits from a distance, and the most important thing was that the dead madman survived and gave the latest prescription.
I really don't know if he's lucky, or if God doesn't even accept such abuse.
There are a few flavors of medicine that are new, and Xia Qiu didn't have time to scold him, so he immediately organized people to go to other counties to adjust the medicine.
However, she soon encountered a thorny problem, medicinal materials were in short supply, high prices were hard to find, and black-hearted pharmacists hoarded and did not sell.
To deal with this kind of person, Xia Qiu's words don't work, but the man who sleeps next to her works.
Relying on the plague to make a windfall, the government is absolutely not allowed, let alone under Lu Tingxiu's nose.
The two medicinal herb dealers are local natives, relying on their century-old families, ignoring the repeated persuasions of the government, and frequently speaking outrageously.
Lu Tingxiu's temper also came up, and he was directly punished for the crime, and he was pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut it.
