1150, Epidemic
"Your aunt said so, so she won't care about the dowry. But if Brother Wen really did get it like this, the Chang family didn't know how to boast about it!"
As for the Chang family's style, Mrs. Zheng really looked down on her. Thinking of Chen's in-laws, Mrs. Zheng felt a headache for Chen.
"Since my aunt has decided on this marriage, she will naturally have a way to deal with it. Mom doesn't have to worry!"
"That's all!" Mrs. Zheng Si took a breath, and she was tired today. "Brother Wen'er's marriage was in a hurry, and there were not many guests, but she was still busy all day without touching the ground! By then, Brother Cheng'er's marriage will only be even busier!"
"Brother Qi has already started preparing for his marriage, and there will be aunts and sisters-in-law helping him, so mom doesn't have to worry!"
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, "You can help me when the time comes, so it will be easier!"
"Well..." Xu Shu nodded, and her hand couldn't help but hold her chest. It would be fine if she didn't cause trouble by that time.
"It's so late, you should go back and rest! Brother Wen's wife is coming to pay her respects early tomorrow morning, and she has to get up early!"
"good!"
When he came out, Xu Shu saw the small movements of Yuzhu and Luhe, but he was unable to think too much, so he just didn't know. When he came back, Yuzhu obviously felt less nervous and uneasy, but Luhe's face was still worried. It seemed that Yuzhu had told Luhe, but Xu Shu didn't ask, and they would say it when they should.
Early the next morning, Yuzhu was about to speak, but Jin Ling came to inform Xu Shu to go to the room. Today, the new wife was coming to serve tea, and the whole family had to go, so Yuzhu had to hold back.
When Xu Shu came back, it was almost noon. Yuzhu was about to say it again, and Yuanyuan suddenly came again, "Miss, Grandma Qi's letter!"
Xu Shu took the letter and saw that Yuzhu wanted to speak but stopped. She stuffed the letter into her arms and asked with a smile, "What do you want to say? You have to say it when you wake up early in the morning. You're so suffocating until now!"
Yuzhu blushed slightly, "I had something hidden from me yesterday!"
"you say!"
"Grandma Zhang Si's eldest son, Brother Zheng, is sick. It seems to be a very difficult disease. I have been sick for some days, and it will be useless to hire many doctors!"
Xu Shu was shocked and stood up immediately. No wonder Xu Ru hasn't come to the Zheng family recently. He knew that Yuzhu didn't know how many questions asked, so he ordered, "Go to the Zhang family! Luhe, go with me!"
Luhe is proficient in medical skills, and bringing it with her may help!
Xu Shu hurried to the Zhang family and handed over the famous post. Seeing that it was a member of the Zheng family, the Zhang family did not dare to neglect it, so they hurriedly invited it in. It was Zhang Ruiming who rushed to welcome the guests, not Xu Ru. Xu Shu became anxious, "Where is the fourth sister?"
Zhang Ruiming said, "She is taking care of Brother Zheng'er and has no time..."
Seeing Zhang Ruiming's painful expression, Xu Shu's heart tightened, "What's wrong with Brother Zheng?"
"The water and rice are no longer in..." Zhang Ruiming turned his head and hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes. When he turned around, his eyes turned red.
Xu Shu murmured in disbelief, "How could this happen?" A child who is only two or three years old, how long can he last if he doesn't get in?
"At first, he just had a little cough and thought he was caught cold. He was relieved after taking medicine. He started to get fever again, which was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Later, when the fever became longer and longer, it was useless after taking medicine. Until now, he can't even take medicine..."
"What do you say about the imperial physician?"
"It's an epidemic..."
"Epidemic?" Xu Shu was stunned, "Why are there still epidemics at this time?"
Epidemics are often present in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and now it is deep winter, so why are there still epidemics?
Zhang Ruiming hesitated for a moment before saying, "Before, the prince quelled the rebellion of the southern tribes, and all tribes offered beauty offerings. This epidemic began to occur from those beauties. It was originally just that it was not suitable for the local environment and did not attract attention. Later, it turned into an epidemic. It spread and several of them were already dead. Because it was related to the situation in the south, this matter was not announced!"
No wonder the queen didn’t mention it when Xu Shu entered the palace yesterday!
"But those beauties are all in the palace forbidden courtyard. No matter how contagious it is, they should be in the palace. How could Brother Zheng get the epidemic?"
Zhang Ruiming shook his head, "Xiaoru and I can't understand this either. We have never had any contact with those beauties, whether it is me, her, or Zheng Ge'er!"
"Then can there be a cure for this epidemic?"
Zhang Ruiming shook his head again, "The prince invited a paradise to develop a prescription for curing the epidemic. However, Brother Zheng'er is still a child and his body is not stronger than adults. It is unknown whether he can last until then..."
While speaking, he had already arrived at Xu Ru's residence, but the gate of the courtyard was closed. The maid guarding the door covered her mouth and nose with white cloth, and her hands were wrapped with white cloth, revealing only her eyes. When she approached, the strong smell of mugwort came to her nose.
Zhang Ruiming stopped when he walked to the door, "The epidemic is easy to spread. Ninth sister is weak, so don't go in!" Zhang Ruiming said as he smoked his whole body with mugwort, and his mouth and nose were covered with white cloth, "I'll call Xiaoru out!" Zhang Ruiming pushed the door open a gap and went in, and soon closed the door again.
After a while, the hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xu Ru opened the door a little bit, and looked at Xu Shu, both surprised and anxious, "Why are you here, Jiu Mei?"
"Let me see the fourth sister!" Through the crack in the door, Xu Shu saw Xu Ru's face was haggard, with a large area of bruises under her eyes, just like Zhang Ruiming.
"Did the eldest sister tell you? Or the tenth sister?" Xu Ru asked through the crack of the door, not daring to lean out, for fear of getting sick to Xu Shu.
"The fourth sister knows that she can't hide it from me, so why should she hide it from me? Both the eldest sister and the tenth sister knew it, but they refused to let me know!"
Xu Ru sighed, "I know your personality. If you know that Brother Zheng is sick, you will definitely find ways to seek medical treatment for him. I don't want to implicate you anymore! If my elder sister hadn't happened to know, I wouldn't even tell her!"
"Sister Four shouldn't hide it from me! If Sister Four had told me earlier, Brother Zheng wouldn't have been delayed to this point!"
Xu Ru showed surprise on her face, "Does Ninth Sister have a way to save Brother Zheng?"
Xu Shu shook her head, "Although I understand some pharmacology, I can't cure the epidemic. However, I recognize a doctor with excellent medical skills, and he may have a solution!"
"Then can this doctor be in the capital now?"
Xu Shu nodded, "Here!" The master Zhang Ruiming just said that the prince invited should be Mr. Qin.
"Where is the doctor? I'll go and invite him now!" Xu Ru was filled with tears of excitement, and her child was finally saved.
"Sister Four, don't worry, I'll just go and invite that doctor, Lu He, stay and help Sister Four take care of Brother Zheng!"
"yes!"
Mr. Qin...
