The history of fighting smallpox in China is quite long, and the technology of planting pox has appeared since the Tang and Song dynasties, but it is human pox, that is, smallpox virus. This method is not small, and some people will lose their lives in the process of pox, but it has also been the main method of human resistance to smallpox for hundreds of years.

Cowpox is also an updated and iterative method developed by Westerners on the basis of human pox, which is much safer than direct smallpox virus and almost not life-threatening. But it will be at least a few decades before this approach reaches China.

Nanyin decided to speak out because of this method, which can save many people's lives.

Listening to Nanyin's words, not only the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was very surprised, but Kangxi was even more shocked and stood up directly: "What did you say?" What you planted...... Cowpox? ”

Nanyin said in a firm tone: "Back to the saint, yes." Not only did the slave and maid plant it, but also the slave's younger brothers and sisters, and since then, no one in the slave family has ever been infected with smallpox. ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was so excited that her voice trembled slightly: "Good boy, tell me about your pox." ”

The Qing royal family had already died because of the smallpox epidemic, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was of course very excited to hear that there was a safer way to prevent and control it.

Nanyin said clearly: "When I was eleven years old, Ama and Eniang found an old man to plant pox. Lao Langzhong said that he planted cowpox, which was just as effective, and Lao Langzhong had a good reputation in the local area, so Ama and Eniang believed him. Lao Langzhong clicked a drop of pox pulp on the slave's upper arm, and then pricked the pox pulp and the slave's arm with an iron needle, and it didn't take long for the slave and maid to have a slight fever and no other discomfort. However, the slave's younger brothers and sisters all had pox, and in the days when the pox appeared, they were as lively as usual, and they were not at all as uncomfortable as smallpox. After a few days of not seeing the wind and not getting cold at home, when the pox was gone, Lao Langzhong said that he was planted, and he was not afraid of smallpox in his life. ”

"The slave maid did not have pox, and the slave maid was still worried that the slave and maid were not planted, but Lao Langzhong said that people are not the same, some people will have acne and high fever, and some people have no reaction, and the slave and maid belong to the kind of lucky people. Originally, the slave maid was still a little worried about whether it was useful to plant cowpox, but this time the slave and maid served the prince, contacted the prince many times, and also cleaned up the broken pox with her hands, but she was not infected with smallpox, and the slave maid thought that this could prove that planting cowpox was useful! ”

In fact, this method was proposed by Nanyin on his own initiative, and then he found an old man to operate and execute it. Originally, the family didn't believe it, but after trying some people, Lao Langzhong was sure that it was really useful. Later, Lao Langzhong also relied on this method of planting pox and made a lot of pension money.

Everyone held their breath and listened intently to Nanyin's story about her pox.

After Nanyin finished speaking, he looked at Kangxi, whether the matter of planting cowpox can be promoted depends on Kangxi's thoughts.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang nodded: "It sounds very useful, what does the emperor think?" ”

Kangxi replied: "Mama, my grandson will try this matter." ”

"This matter must be done as soon as possible, and if it is true, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the people of the whole world." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang advised.

"Yes! Mama. ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang turned to Nanyin again: "You girl is also a sincere person, you can hide this matter, and you don't have to worry about being guilty of bullying the king, but you have said it, it is different from those who are greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Nanyin showed a relieved look: "Thank you for the praise of the Empress Dowager, the slave maid only wishes that there will be fewer people in the world who are tortured by smallpox." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang nodded with a smile.

The system was so excited that it broke its voice: "Absolutely good!" You have actually won the absolute favor of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang! Why are you so powerful! ”

Nanyin asked suspiciously, "What is absolute favorability?" ”

"Absolute affection is generally generated in family affection, for example, your parents will naturally love you, and they feel very good and right about what you do, this is absolute favorability. And a person like the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, although she is not your blood relative, as long as you don't do anything that touches her bottom line in the future, such as making a rebellion, plotting a rebellion, or killing her grandson's great-grandson, etc., she will maintain a good impression of you, she will help you when you encounter difficulties, and she will believe more and stand on your side when you have disputes with others! ”

Sounds remarkable.

I didn't expect to contribute the method of planting cowpox, so that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who had just met the second side, had an absolute good impression of her, which was really an unexpected surprise, even Kangxi and Yinzhen Yinren did not reach this level!

The method of planting cowpox to resist smallpox can indeed be regarded as benefiting all mankind, but Kangxi's favorability does not seem to have improved much?

On the contrary, the system was very content, and happily comforted Nanyin: "Kangxi is the king of a country after all, and you can only believe in your method after verification, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, as a woman in the deep palace, can better understand your situation, so I understand your courage and righteousness to take the initiative to speak." ”

Over there, Kangxi really said: "This method does sound very remarkable, wait for me to order someone to test it, if it is really as effective as you say, I will reward you heavily!" ”

Nanyin didn't look forward to any heavy rewards, the focus was to promote this method as soon as possible and save more people's lives, so she saluted calmly and calmly: "Thank you, Holy Lord." ”

For Nanyin's performance of not seeking merit or quick profit, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is more and more satisfied, and she is more relieved to hand over her great-grandchildren and grandchildren into her hands.

When leaving Cining Palace, the prince and Yinchu followed Nanyin left and right, especially Yinchu, as if they were afraid that the prince would snatch Nanyin to Qianqing Palace again.

Back in Qianqing Palace, Nanyin asked Kangxi to resign and pack her things, but the two little ancestors refused to let her go.

In the end, Nanyin said helplessly: "Then I can only work hard Ah Rong for you, and go to clean up your things alone." ”

Ah Rong smiled all over his face: "How can it be hard? It's my business. ”

After Ah Rong bowed and retreated, he went to the apse alone.

The prince asked Kangxi: "Huang Ama, where are you going to arrange Nanyin?" We can live in the Qianqing Palace. ”

The implication is obvious, that is, I want Nanyin to live in the Qianqing Palace.

But where would Yinfu be happy? He also immediately said: "There is no one in the other courtyards of the five schools in Qiandong, and my son is afraid to live alone." ”

Everyone wants Nanyin to live near them, even if it's not their own person in name, it's always good to be closer.

Seeing that the two sons were about to fight again, Kangxi felt a little difficult, so he simply threw the problem to Nanyin: "What does Nanyin think?" ”

Nanyin: ...... I?

The Forbidden City, which is more than 700,000 square meters, is not up to him, and Kangxi's ability to kick leather ball is really not good. But Nanyin couldn't just kick the problem back.

So Nanyin pondered for a while, and then suggested: "The slave and maid have no right to choose a place to live, why don't you bring the map of the Forbidden City to the Holy Lord, and let the prince and the eldest brother discuss it on the map?" ”

Liang Jiugong said worriedly: "But, can the two little masters understand the map?" ”

Nanyin smiled slightly: "There is a saint, so naturally I am not afraid." ”

Kangxi felt that Nanyin seemed to have kicked the problem to himself again, but he had no evidence.

But there seems to be no other better way, so Kangxi ordered someone to get the map of the Forbidden City, and Nanyin stood a little farther away, the map is in ancient times, but it is easy to get involved in secrets.

After the map was rolled out, Kangxi patiently told his two sons where the Qianqing Palace was, where the Qiandong Five Institutes were, and where the Cining Palace was.

The two of them fought over all the palaces in the east, but either they had a concubine to move in, or the prince felt that it was too close to the five palaces in Qiandong in Yinchu, and it was cheaper than himself.

After fighting for nearly two quarters of an hour (1), the two discussed and compromised and reached an agreement in Chuxiu Palace.

Chuxiu Palace is located in the northwest corner of Qianqing Palace, the prince passes from the Longfu Gate of Qianqing Palace, and needs to walk a while, Yinchu passes from the five places in Qiandong, and also has to pass through the imperial garden.

The two of them finally discussed a result, which also relieved Kangxi, who had been being dragged as a referee: "In this case, then let Nanyin live in Chuxiu Palace." ”

Nanyin asked: "Shengshang, this Chuxiu Palace is one of the six palaces in the west, according to the rules, it is the place of the concubine, and the slave and maid occupy the Chuxiu Palace, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

And Kangxi's harem will expand in the future, won't he have to make room for land when the time comes? What a hassle.

Kangxi seemed to hesitate for a while, and said: "It's naturally not suitable for you to live in the main hall, let's live in the Yanghe Hall of the East Side Hall first!" After all, even if it is a catering place for them, there must be a place to start a fire and eat. If you're not satisfied, do you have a better proposal? ”

Nanyin shook her head hurriedly, joking, this kind of master is not something she can do.

After discussing the location, the map was put away, and the prince was still happy, and heard Yinzhen say: "Huang Ama, since the location has been decided, then you have to give Nanyin an identity, right?" It is also more convenient to walk in the palace in the future. ”

The prince immediately helped: "Huang Ama, you have to let Nanyin be a palace maid!" ”

Damn, this time he was robbed by Yinchu again, and the prince immediately wanted to help Nanyin get a higher identity, anyway, he couldn't be robbed of the limelight and credit by Yinchu.

Kangxi skillfully threw the question to Liang Jiugong again: "Liang Jiugong, you are the chief eunuch, what identity do you think is appropriate for Nanyin?" ”

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace also have a strict hierarchical distinction, and some of the palace maids who are favored by the masters have more say than the low-level promises.

Liang Jiugong is a good person, knowing that his proposed identity is high, and the emperor will not be angry, but if it is low, the two little masters will be able to let him drink a pot, so after thinking about it, he said: "Back to the saint, now Chuxiu Palace is empty, and there is no serious master above, so the slave thinks that it is most appropriate to let Nanyin Gege be recorded on the list of Qianqing Palace first, and walk outside as the big palace maid of Qianqing Palace." ”
