Chapter 39: News

Zhen Shi Niang returned to the ancestral house, Qiu Ju and the magpie were standing at the door uneasily, and when they saw her, Qiu Ju flew up and asked a series of questions, "...... I heard that Liu Ergui has a plague? Is it true? Will Miss get infected? Will there be an outbreak here, and we don't have to move? ”

However, for most of the day, the news that Liu Ergui had the plague had spread throughout Wutong Town, scaring the magpie and Qiu Ju or something, not hindering Zhen Shi Niang's identity, Qiu Ju had already gone to pick up people.

In this way, the magpie still sent Qiu Ju to the pharmacy to take a sneak look twice.

"Something...... Zhen Shi Niang's face was serious, "Clean up tonight, we will move early tomorrow morning." ”

“…… It's true! Qiu Ju stood still.

"You......" Zhen Siniang patted her on the head, "Listening to the wind is rain, you still don't believe in my medical skills?" There was a hint of banter in his tone.

After standing there for a long time, Qiu Ju came back to her senses and touched the back of her head dissatisfiedly, "Miss will bully people, and the slaves and maids will be stupid by you." The mood fluctuated, and Qiu Ju forgot to continue to ask.

Seeing that Zhen Siniang's face was calm, and there was a rare smile between her eyebrows, the magpie's heart that had been hanging for a day was also relaxed, knowing that Zhen Siniang had never been willing to talk about the visit, so she didn't ask again.

Although it was not physical work, but after a day of tossing, Zhen Shi Niang still felt very tired, and after dinner, she fell asleep after telling half of the story to Jian Wen and Jian Wu.

After saying nothing all night, he woke up early the next morning, thinking about Liu Ergui's condition, so he sent Qiu Ju to Ruixiang Pharmacy.

Qiu Ju quickly returned, "...... Sister-in-law Li said that you left for a while yesterday, and Liu Mazi's family left, so you can rest assured that the consultation fee and room fee have been paid. Thinking of something, he smiled again, "I heard that you left a prescription, and last night there were people who went to buy medicine, and as soon as Ruixiang opened the door today, two miles of land were discharged outside, and they were all afraid of contracting the plague to buy medicine for prevention, and the shopkeeper Li went out early in the morning to buy medicinal materials...... The slave and maid stood there for a while, and heard that someone had asked you where you lived, and wanted to pay a high price for your illness. Looking at Zhen Shi Niang happily, "This time, Miss's reputation has spread completely!" Thinking that Zhen Shi Niang's body couldn't stand the hard work at all, and seeing that Bai Huahua's silver couldn't be earned, Qiu Ju's voice stopped abruptly.

didn't pay attention to Qiu Ju's different color, Zhen Siniang was a little absent-minded.

Although they also understand medicine, and they also hope that those who go to Ruixiang for medical treatment can be cured with medicine, but after all, Li Qi and his wife are pure businessmen, and for them, as long as they earn money, everything will be fine, as for whether the illness is cured or not, and what will happen next, it has nothing to do with them.

Unless you are approached by a patient.

But this time is different, Liu Ergui has a plague, although she is confident in front of people, this disease will not break out on a large scale in the late autumn, but this is ancient times, health and medical conditions are limited, many things are not under her control, and she does not dare to guarantee that there will be no case.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, once there is an accident, Wutong Town will face a catastrophe.

Then she will be a sinner for the ages!

After hesitating for a long time, Zhen Shiniang had the heart to ask Qiu Ju to deliver a message, asking Li Qi to go to Liu Mazi's house to see Liu Ergui's condition, and then remembered the stalemate between the two families yesterday, and held back the words, this is not modern after all, the hospital has a system of tracking and returning visits to patients, in ancient times, as long as the patient does not come to the door, the medicine hall will never take the initiative to inquire, if she asks Li Qi to see Liu Ergui, he will definitely see her as an outlier.

It's not good, and I thought she had a spring heart.

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, Liu Ergui is a big man of her age after all, and if she shows a little concern, she will be misunderstood and rumors will spread.

The old society of all evils!

In the past five years, Zhen Siniang has also integrated into this era, but every time she encounters this kind of powerless thing, she still curses in her heart, sighs faintly, Zhen Siniang instructed Qiu Juqin to inquire about the wind outside, and pay attention to whether there are similar cases.

Seeing that it was almost winter and there was no big work, Zhen Siniang felt lazy again, so she found a medical book and leaned on the kang to look.

A day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning of the third day, Zhen Siniang was hesitating whether to let Qiu Ju go to Ruixiang Pharmacy again, and Li Qi's daughter-in-law happily took two pairs of deer antler velvets and walked in.

was dozing, so she brought a pillow, and seeing that it was her, Zhen Siniang was extremely excited, but her face did not move, "...... My sister-in-law came. She put down the book, looked up and instructed Qiu Ju, "Quickly pour water for Sister-in-law Li." ”

“…… Ah Wei is really blessed. Seeing Zhen Siniang lying on the kang leisurely reading a book, Li Qi's daughter-in-law glanced enviously at the book she had just put down.

This person who can read and hyphenate is just different.

Looking at Zhen Siniang's calm and quiet demeanor, thinking that in the past two days, the people in the town couldn't dig three feet into the ground to find out her, a miracle doctor who has no end in sight, Li Qi's daughter-in-law looked even more envious.

"How can there be Qingfu, but the body and bones are not good, and I can't move it...... Zhen Siniang shook her head with a wry smile, "There is a lot of work waiting at home, no, Qiu Ju bought the cabbage back before, I just don't want to move, and I haven't pickled it in the yard......"

Zhen Siniang was a northerner in her previous life, she liked to eat sauerkraut, and she had to pickle two large vats every winter, she used to have magpies to help, but this year the magpie was pregnant, Zhen Siniang was so soft that she couldn't even hold a needle, and she kept looking at the pile of cabbage in the yard and worried.

"It's time for your body and bones to take care of it, look at this pale face, it's almost like a dead man!" Li Qi's daughter-in-law is a straightforward person, and she nodded when she heard it, "I know it's not easy for you to take two children alone, you want to save more money for your children, but no matter how much you want, you have to have a life to enjoy, so ah, this body is the most important thing!" "Pointing to the pile of cabbage in the courtyard," ...... Don't worry about that, I'll pour out my efforts to help you pickle it tomorrow. "Smacking his lips," don't say it, the sauerkraut you pickled is so delicious, our family just can't eat enough, and as soon as autumn comes, they buy cabbage for me to pickle, how can I?" Hehe smiled, "It just so happens that Ming'er came to learn from you......"

Every year when the sauerkraut is pickled, Zhen Siniang will send some to each family, and Li Qi's daughter-in-law will bring a big pot to ask for it every time she finishes eating.

"I'm worried that the magpie's body is getting heavier and heavier, and I can't do this kind of work anymore......" Seeing that she was telling the truth, Zhen Siniang smiled and nodded, "Then let's talk about it first, I don't have any salary for you." ”

"How?" Li Qi's daughter-in-law quipped, "If you lose my salary, I will bring a big pot of sauerkraut to eat here during the Chinese New Year." ”

Qiu Ju covered her mouth and smiled.

Everyone laughed for a while, thinking about Liu Ergui's condition, Zhen Siniang asked, "...... Early in the morning, the pharmacy is gone, and you come here to fight the autumn breeze? His eyes fell on the deer antler that Li Qi's daughter-in-law had just put down, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Thanks to you, how can you not work?" Li Qi smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "In the past two days, the pharmacy has been so busy that he hit the back of his head with his heel." Reaching out and picking up a deer antler, "No, I came to give you tonic medicine at the behest of others." ”

"Tonics?" Zhen Shi Niang frowned, stretched out her hand to take the antler velvet, "I'm not an official, I have no power or power, who bribed me?" ”

"It's Liu Mazi's daughter-in-law, take Liu Ergui to the pharmacy to find you early this morning......

Zhen Shi Niang sat up straight, "How ......?"
