"Father, I am a serious cleanliness patient who has to take a bath once a day, drink only boiled water, and must wash my hands before eating. I promise not to let the family die. Lyle, who was despised by his little sister because of his frequent bathing, came to probe on a whim.

Incidentally, due to the high level of loyalty of their maids and their relatively tight tone, the news that this piece would be normal in later generations, but in this era when 'not bathing is a healthy way of life', has had an adverse effect on Lyle, has not yet been spread.

"I'm crazy to grant you such a request............ So, which maid in the family did you fall in love with? "Knowing the son is more than the father, this is also the reason why Lyle's attitude towards the maid is too friendly on weekdays.

"You should ask, 'which maids'~" Excluding the part that is married, has no intention of being a mistress, is not pretty, and is not likable, there are still about a dozen candidates.

Of course, this is a record on the premise that Lyle has not ruined his innocent record so far, and if Lyle starts to attack the maid, there may be many girls who choose to refuse.

The father nodded, if Lyle really said the name of a certain maid, he might have to find a way to send her away, and this undisciplined answer was acceptable: "I don't care how many mistresses you have in the future, but you must marry the daughter of a noble family, it is your duty." ”

Political marriages have brought about countless unhappy marriages, but they have undoubtedly strengthened the family's ability to survive, and there is nothing to say, all Lyle can do is to mix in social circles and choose a pleasing relationship among the 'suitable political marriage partners'.

"Well, that's all I'll say." There are a lot of deviant aristocrats, not to mention having an intimate relationship with a maid, even marrying a maid as a wife, but those are all 'nobles who no one cares', Lyle doesn't think Daddy will be enlightened to this extent, "But...... I thought your reaction would have been harsher and more violent, father. ”

The father snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Although when I was your age, your grandfather had not yet been knighted, but our family was also considered wealthy, do you think there will be no maids?" ”

"Hard, do you say!?" Lyle's eyes widened in surprise.

When he was studying in a public school, Lyle knew that he was definitely not the only man who had a soft spot for maids, but he didn't find out that his father was also a fellow believer on weekdays.

"As someone who has come over, I can give you a little reminder." "The loveliness of a maid is not so much in the person she is, but in her position," the father continued, "and if a maid becomes a mistress, especially a mistress who no longer needs to work and has plenty of money, you will find that she is not much different from other noble ladies." ”

"Woo......!" Okay, Lyle may not listen to other teachings, but this one should be a 'lesson from the past', and Lyle listens with respect.

The father, who didn't want to talk too much about this topic, turned to say, "Compared to this, is it really okay for you to take a bath every day?" ”

"Father, don't you see those little things too? I'm more inclined to make people sick than sick things; I'm more worried about my nose and mouth than about pores. Changing to this topic, Lyle is not happy to be a junior, and replied in a deep voice.

Due to the lack of medical level in this era, doctors believed that diseases were transmitted through the air, and that the pores of the human body would open after bathing, and then the sick qi would enter the body from the pores, and people naturally followed the advice of professionals.

The practice of 'bathing' still exists, and the rich nobles bathe more often than the poor poor, but the absolute frequency is still very low, as can be seen in the fact that Elizabeth I bathed once a month and was considered clean.

"Nose?" The father was stunned.

"So, you should take the time to come out and look at my paper." Lyle rolled his eyes, obviously he had written it all, "No one will lick the Black Death patient with their tongue, and that little thing doesn't fly with the air, so how did the infected get infected?" I think it's the saliva they squirt out when they cough and the snot they sneeze when they sneeze that contain little things that may fly farther than we think and suck in from our noses. ”

"Isn't that still airborne?" Father said stupidly.

"No, no, that's different." Lyle narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "If my guess is the truth, then the spread of the Black Death may be under control. ”

》》》》》》》

In conjunction with the publication of his paper on disease-causing microscopic organisms, Lyle patented an improved microscope and launched it to the market, on the one hand, so that more medical workers could see the existence of "tiny things" with their own eyes, and on the other hand, it was to block the mouths of their parents, even if the money from selling microscopes was a drop in the bucket compared to the profits of the East India Company, it was still making money, and he was still working.

Because Lyle did not have the slightest fame in the academic field, this paper was silent for a while, but the truth was there, and after all, it still alarmed the entire medical circle.

What followed were letters from scholars, visits from scholars, newspaper interviews, domestic awards and other vulgar things, the details do not need to be detailed, Lyle went to London to get an award, and on the way to have an academic exchange with the scholar ABCDEFG or something, it was both verbose and meaningless...... All in all, Lyle has become famous in medical circles and aristocratic circles, and his parents have gradually recognized Lyle's choice of a way out.

Even if there is evidence of what is seen under the microscope, there are still old stubborn people who are stubborn in their 'sickness theory' to refute it, and Lyle, as the discoverer and naming of 'cells' and 'bacteria', often becomes the target of their verbal wars. Fortunately, the 'sickness' is not a minefield of religious belief in the church, and Lyle will not be the next persecuted scientist, and everything will remain in the realm of academic discussion.

Even if more and more medical practitioners agree with Lyle's findings and ideas, it is still extremely difficult to change the lifestyle of people in an era, as evidenced by the frequency of bathing in Lyle's family.

But that didn't stop Lyle's enthusiasm for research, and like other inspired medical workers, he discovered a variety of bacteria through a microscope, tried to create a chemical that was harmless to humans but could kill bacteria, and tried to make a drug that could treat diseases.

…… However, he kept his promise to his father and did not take the initiative to seek a solution to the Black Death, and found that rats and fleas were the source of transmission.
