Chapter 23: Smallpox Strikes

Lan Xiaoyou followed Mrs. Lan back to the Lan Mansion early the next morning, without saying goodbye to Master Juehui, and confirmed to Mrs. Lan with actions that he had absolutely no idea of escaping into the empty door.

After returning to the Lan Mansion, Lan Xiaoyou did not immediately write Buddhist scriptures to Master Juehui, lest Mrs. Lan worry after she found out. Although a "Sutra of the Forty-two Chapters of the Buddha's Sayings" is not long, it is enough for Master Juehui to study for a long time. This sutra is a collection of 42 quotations from the Buddha on matters such as keeping vows, forbearance, abstaining from desires, perseverance, and contemplating emptiness, covering all the teachings of the Mahayana and the Dharma, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of keeping vows, and telling Buddhist disciples how to practice. It is a very important scripture for Buddhist disciples. And things were exactly as Lan Xiaoyou expected, Master Juehui's mind was completely attracted by the "Buddha Says Forty-two Chapters Sutra", and he threw himself on studying the scriptures, ignoring the rest of the things. Not to mention, Master Juehui is worthy of the deep roots of wisdom, from the "Buddha Says Forty-two Chapters Sutra", Master Juehui comprehended a new method of cultivation, the realm that had not grown for ten years suddenly loosened, broke through the late stage of qi refining, and entered the peak of the qi refining period.

Lan Xiaoyou lived the same life as usual, only taking an hour out of his cultivation in the space every night to write Buddhist scriptures. She is leisurely here, and the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion is extremely busy. The day after returning from Yunyin Temple, the eldest princess sent a matchmaker to the door to propose marriage, Mrs. Lan and Marquis Lan couldn't be more satisfied with such a marriage, and agreed to this family affair after pretending to make some excuses. Next, Nacai, Najib, Najib...... Mrs. Lan was extremely busy, and Li followed suit, and only then did she successfully finish the first three ceremonies.

"Why is the eldest princess in such a hurry? Before the fourth sister was ready, the eldest princess let her pass the door? Li was puzzled. Other families are married, and it will take at least one or two years during the period, and there will be no hurry after the six ceremonies, and there is plenty of time, but what about the eldest princess's mansion? I was in such a hurry, I just sent a matchmaker to the door to determine the marriage date, and I want to marry my daughter-in-law into the door within half a year.

Madame Lan knew well what the Eldest Princess's Mansion was doing, and she also wanted to drive Lan Xiaoyu out of the Hou Mansion as soon as possible, and cooperated very much with the actions of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. She and Li were so busy that they couldn't help but neglect to take care of the children, and when Li heard that his son was sick and had a fever, Li was going crazy.

Mrs. Lan is also anxious and worried, Cong'er is her eldest grandson, she is her heart's meat, and she cares about Cong'er no less than the Li family.

"Why don't you go and get a doctor." After Mrs. Lan finished instructing her subordinates, she hurriedly followed Li and rushed to the Zhiwen Academy. Qingxue followed behind Madame Lan, her eyelids drooping, and she walked briskly, so that people couldn't see her expression clearly.

Mrs. Lan and Li rushed to Zhiwen Academy, and saw Xiao Baozi lying on the bed, her little face was already burned red, and the two of them were distressed and angry. Li scolded the nurse and maid who took care of the little bun: "Why is Cong'er burned so badly? How did you take care of him? Why didn't you tell me about Cong'er sooner? Why didn't you get a doctor sooner? ”

"Brother Cong has a sudden fever, and there is no sign of illness before......" The nurse hurriedly defended, but neither Madame Lan nor the Li family believed her words. Suddenly burned so badly? Are they fools? There is a process of onset, how can it be possible to suddenly have a fever and have such a serious fever? It must be the negligence of the person who cares for it.

"The eldest daughter-in-law, why do you need to tell them so much. These subordinates are unforgivable in neglecting their masters, and they must no longer stay with my grandson. Madame Blue said with a dark face.

"Yes." Li Shi took a deep breath, his face showed a fierce face, and ordered: "Drag these people down, each of them will play ten boards, and then send them to Zhuangzi." ”

"Young lady, don't."

"Young lady, spare us this time."

The nurses and maids shouted for mercy, but both Madame Lan and the Li family were furious, and no one dared to beg for mercy for them, and these people were dragged down by a few stout mothers-in-law.

Li sat in front of his son's bed, took his son's little hand, and watched his son have spasms all over his body in discomfort, his eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to replace him. Mrs. Lan looked at this scene, and she was also uncomfortable, and urged people to go outside the second gate to see if the imperial doctor had arrived.

Lan Xiaoyou walked into the house and saw Li standing beside his son crying, La's wife stood anxiously at the door and twisted a handkerchief to look, the two of them were concerned and confused, panicked, and did not take any useful measures. She hurriedly instructed her subordinates: "Luxiu, you have someone go to the well to fetch a basin of cold water, soak the veil, and put it on Cong'er's head; Xinghong, you wipe the sweat on Cong'er's body with a dry handkerchief, and be sure to keep Cong'er's body dry and ......"

"Yes." The maids hurriedly did as Lan Xiaoyu instructed, and the effect was not bad, at least the little buns were not as uncomfortable as before.

"Ahh

"Xinghong, what's your name?" Lan Xiaoyou reprimanded.

Xinghong raised her head in horror and said to Lan Xiaoyou: "Third Miss, Brother Cong has a lot of chickenpox, he, he is likely to have smallpox." ”

"What?" All the people in the room were frightened, many maids and women unconsciously stepped back, and even Mrs. Lan was so frightened that she took a step back.

What is smallpox? In ancient times, a contagious disease was almost equivalent to a terminal illness under the medical conditions of the time, and those who got it would definitely die if they couldn't get through it.

"How do you know it's smallpox?" Lan Xiaoyou frowned and asked. She wasn't afraid of smallpox, and with her current cultivation at the second level of Qi cultivation, the smallpox virus couldn't help her at all. What's more, she also has spiritual spring water to detoxify.

Xinghong said: "I once had smallpox, and Cong'er's symptoms were the same as when I had smallpox before. ”

"Is that so? Then you can stay and take care of Brother Cong. Lan Xiaoyou glanced at the other maids who were far away from the bed, and handed over the task of taking care of the little bun to Xinghong.

"Nonsense!" Li suddenly shouted, "My Cong'er is not suffering from smallpox, he just has chickenpox, and he will be fine in two days." ”

Lee screamed, unwilling to believe that her son had a terminal illness like smallpox.

"Sister-in-law......" Lan Xiaoyou stepped forward to comfort Li, "Don't worry, Cong'er Ji has his own blessing, whether he has smallpox or chickenpox, he can survive safely." You haven't had smallpox, so stay away from Cong'er. ”

"Xiaoyou, you haven't had smallpox either, don't get too close." Madame Lan anxiously stopped her daughter from stepping forward.

Lan Xiaoyou gave Mrs. Lan a reassuring smile: "Mother rest assured, her daughter is in good health and will not be easily infected." ”
