On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Yan An and Luo Wense sent people to give New Year's gifts finally arrived in the capital, but the people who gave New Year's gifts did not come to ask to see Chen Xiuyan, but a small servant tied his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, came to tell the news, and hoped that the doctor of the Jin Palace's mansion could go to the residence to help diagnose and treat the people who gave the New Year's gifts.

Yan An has his own house in the capital, and when he comes to give gifts, he asks the steward to live in the house, so that there is no need to go to the inn or the capital Yan Mansion to live.

"The old slave followed, but the mourning of the people inside could be heard outside the house, and the one who came to ask the doctor did not let the old slave in, saying that many people were infected with the same disease."

Chen Xiuyan got up when she heard this, "The same illness, what symptoms?" ”

"Vomiting and diarrhea." Mama Mu said seriously, her expression was a little serious, "It's the same as when I was in the hot spring Zhuangzi and the princess of Goryeo." ”

"Are there any deaths among the people from Shouyang County?" Chen Xiuyan asked with a calm brow.

"There's one." Mama Mu said with a serious expression, "Madame also suspects that it is the plague?" Shanxi had been hit by floods before, and plagues were prone to occur after the catastrophe. ”

"Did you have symptoms on the way here, or did you have symptoms before you set off from Shou'an County? Have you been exposed to anyone with such symptoms along the way? How long did the person who died, and what did it look like? Chen Xiuyan asked one after another.

Mama Mu replied one by one, "The first person to get sick was his own child who had diarrhea before setting off from Shouyang County, he didn't care at first, and he also started on the way to the departure, but he had a big life, and he ate some herbs for a few days, and he was infected by the largest of the grade for ten days, and the person died, and the rest survived." ”

"The second aunt who came to the house yesterday to report the news was a little maid in the house in Beijing, he had no contact with him, and he came to us fully armed for safety." Mama Mu replied.

Chen Xiuyan sat down when she heard this, "The mortality rate is not high, and it can't be called a plague." ”

"But it can be contagious, and those with poor physique, old or young, are prone to death." Chen Xiuyan now suspects that it was dysentery, and if it was cholera, he would have died early.

"I'll prepare some medicine, and Mama will help deliver it."

"Yes."

Chen Xiuyan prepared Western medicine, quinolone fungicides, and Mama Mu sent it with a small oily paper bag, and together with it was a note and disinfection method.

Western medicine works quickly, and many people's diarrhea stops at once, but it is not so easy to relieve the strength after so many days, and the government doctor prescribes a lot of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the body.

According to Chen Xiuyan's precautions and disinfection methods, the clothes they wear are disinfected by boiling them with hot water every day, and the house and outside are cleaned cleanly, and the most constrained point is that they can't go out, obviously it is about to celebrate the New Year, but the house is deserted and deserted, and there is no dress.

Fortunately, on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, I received two truckloads of things sent by Chen Xiuyan, one car is food, the other car is daily necessities, and new clothes, how can there be no new clothes to wear in the New Year.

Chen Xiuyan found that since she came to ancient times, almost every New Year she has been treating people, and this year is no exception, although she did not go to the person with dysentery, but the medicine was prepared, I thought that I could have a good Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the third prince came. …

"Sister-in-law, please come with me to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials." The third prince was dressed in a dark robe, and although his expression was quite indifferent, Chen Xiuyan could see the anxiety in his eyes.

Chen Xiuyan didn't ask much, put the medicine box on her back, accompanied by Chu Wenqian, and the husband and wife followed the three princes alone.

"Which one is sick?" got into the carriage, because Chu Wenqian was with him, and the three princes did not avoid suspicion, and the three of them took the same car, Chen Xiuyan asked.

"My grandfather's family." The third prince's expression was a little grim.

Chen Xiuyan was stunned, "Poisoned? ”

"I doubt it too." The third prince said coldly, "But after reading it, the doctor said that there was no poisoning." ”

"What are the symptoms?" Chen Xiuyan frowned and asked.

"Diarrhea." The third prince asked, "I heard that Princess Goryeo vomited and diarrhea when she was in the hot spring Zhuangzi in Wumeng Mountain, and her sister-in-law cured her, and I thought I would wait for Chinese New Year's Eve, but my grandfather was old and had the most serious symptoms, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I came to invite my sister-in-law overnight." ”

"How many days have you had diarrhea?"

"Today is the second day, but yesterday my grandfather made ten trips in one day, and he could barely eat, only drink water." The third prince said worriedly.

Chen Xiuyan frowned, it stands to reason that no one in the Yan Mansion will go out, he made it clear, and he also sent people to watch around, except for the little guy who found the Jin Wangfu at the beginning, no one came out today and yesterday, and it is impossible to spread the dysentery.

It is possible to pass it on to anyone, but there is no intersection between the Ministry of Shangshu and the Mansion.

"Is there anyone from Shanxi in the Ministry of Shangshu?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

The third prince's eyes shot at Chen Xiuyan in an instant, with a trace of shock in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, but Chen Xiuyan had already felt that moment, it seemed that there was.

"Why would my sister-in-law ask that?" The third prince asked.

"My second sister is married to Yan An, the eldest son of the Yin Yan family in Shuntian Mansion, and the second brother-in-law is now the county magistrate of Shouyang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi, and the third prince should know about this."

The third prince nodded when he heard this.

"The second sister and the second brother-in-law wrote to me two months ago that the prepared New Year's gift was going to be delivered, but I only received this New Year's gift yesterday." Chen Xiuyan explained, "The person who gave the New Year's gift was infected, all of them were symptoms of diarrhea, although it was not as serious as the plague, but one person died on the way. ”

The third prince was shocked, "You mean that there is a contagious disease in Shanxi." ”

Chu Wenqian's brows also furrowed, Chen Xiuyan told him about dysentery, the letter to King Jin and the medicine sent to him were sent by the secret guard overnight yesterday, but this was just a precaution, there was no movement before, and the flood had been several months, and if there was a real epidemic, it shouldn't have taken so long to break out, so I thought it was only a small area, but now......

"It used to be tuberculosis, but now it's an epidemic, Shanxi ......" The third prince looked at Chu Wenqian, and the two looked at each other, each understanding in their hearts.

"Yesterday I wrote a letter to my father, and I also sent the medicine for treatment, I hope it is only a small area." Chu Wenqian replied.

Chen Xiuyan is now a little worried about her family in Taiyuan Mansion, and the most worried person at the moment is Luo Wense, after all, people in Yan'an have such a disease.

"My grandfather sent news back a few days ago from the dark pile in Shanxi, and he was the first to get sick." The third prince didn't hide it anymore, "Can my sister-in-law prepare some medicine for treatment?" ”

"Yes." Chen Xiuyan responded, no matter how you say it, they are all people in the same boat.
