Chapter 180: Collective Illness
The ground was covered with thick hoarfrost, and a few yellow leaves fell from the trees from time to time, all of which made people feel that winter was coming.
After Yu Xichen finished practicing, he memorized medical books in the study. The current study room is more than twice as large as the one in the Rose Courtyard, and even now in November, the light is very good. She didn't sit in the study, she stood directly at the window.
After breakfast, Yuxi took the maid to the upper courtyard. Today is the first day of the new year, and it is a day to say goodbye to the old lady and the Wu family.
When Yuxi arrived, Yuchen was already there, and stepped forward to give a blessing: "Grandmother is well." โ
The old lady's attitude towards Yuxi is much kinder than before, and she waved her hand to let Yuxi sit down, and asked, "The weather has been cold recently, and the charcoal fire over there is burning." โ
Yuxi said with a smile: "The charcoal fire has already burned, and if the earth dragon burns later, it won't be so cold now." "Yuxi's bedroom has not burned charcoal, only a pot of charcoal fire in the study.
Now Yuxi's body is already very good, like at this time in her previous life, she has already burned the earth dragon, and if she doesn't wear a thick coat to wrap it in a dumpling when she goes out, she will definitely freeze and catch a cold. But now, all she needs to do is wear a little jacket.
The old lady never worried that there would be a shortage of things on Yuxi's side, in the past, the Qiu family's housekeeper would not be short of her things, and now Yuxi herself will help the Qiu family with housework, those old women and housekeepers will be obedient to her, and will only give her the best loose, where do you dare to deduct her things: "Wear too thin clothes, wear two more pieces when you go out, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold." โ
Yuxi smiled and agreed.
Out of the courtyard, Yuxi and Yuchen went to Bitengyuan again. On the way, Yuchen asked, "Fourth sister, how is the flute learning?" After the last time the conversation between the two broke down, the two had not spoken for several days. Well, not touching a piece exactly.
Yuxi said with a smile: "I can already play several tunes, and Zi Su said that I am not bad at playing now." "The maid doesn't understand music theory, but it's easy to tell if the sound is good or not. When Zi Su and a few maids around him say that it is good, Yuxi will learn the next tune.
Yuchen still wants Yuxi to learn Guzheng.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "If you don't study, you don't have time." "She doesn't have enough time every day now, so she won't sleep at night when she learns guzheng again.
Yuchen frowned and said, "Yuxi, read the history books in your spare time, don't spend too much time on them." "You can read history books and even military books, but they always say that they should read them as idle books, instead of spending so much time studying like Yuxi.
Yuxi said with a smile: "I'm not reading history books, I'm reading medical books." The rest of the time, I embroider or learn how to cook from the chef. โ
Yuchen couldn't say anything more now.
When they arrived at Biteng Courtyard, the maids inside were respectful to the two of them, and even the personal maids of the Wu family did not dare to snub the two.
Wu Shi was lying on the bed, and when he saw the two of them, he began to cough. Mrs. Chen came in with a bowl of black stuff from outside and handed it to Wu.
Yuxi is okay, he often deals with medicinal herbs, and occasionally boils medicine by himself. But Yuchen frowned, it was obvious that the smell of medicine made her very uncomfortable.
After Wu finished drinking, he stopped coughing, lay down again, and said to the two: "The weather is getting colder, you should also be careful, don't catch a cold." โ
Yuxi said with a smile: "Thank you mother for your concern, but my third sister and I have always been in good health, and we won't get sick so easily." โ
When Wu heard this, he began to cough again, and the cough was heartbreaking, making the people standing next to him a little unbearable.
Mrs. Chen stepped forward and patted Wu on the back, and then looked at Yuxi's unworried appearance and sighed slightly. The lady was sick, and the four girls didn't forget to stab her, which was too much. It's just that there's no place for her to speak here.
One must not be overly full of words, or else he will suffer. No, Yuxi was a little uncomfortable that night because he said that he would not get sick in front of the Wu family. When she woke up the next morning, she found that she had a fever, and not only that, but she also had pain all over her body, and her nose was stuffed, and she had difficulty breathing, and her voice was hoarse.
Yuxi said: "I prescribe a recipe for people to catch and boil, and the people in the courtyard drink a bowl for each person to prevent it." โ
Zisu didn't hesitate, because Yuxi had prescribed such a prescription before, so she had nothing to be afraid of. Then he ordered someone to take the medicine and go to the kitchen, and said, "When the medicine is caught, boil it, and everyone in the courtyard must drink it." โ
After a while, a little maid came over and said a few words to Shiso. Zisu's face was not very good-looking, and he walked into the house and said to Yuxi: "I just got the news, and the third girl is also sick." The symptoms are the same as those of the girl. โ
Yuxi snorted: "This is my third sister." "At that time, Yuxi shouldn't have been dragged in, maybe Yuchen wouldn't have gotten sick. Thinking of this, Yuxi felt a little guilty.
Zi Su said: "What do you mean by Lian Lian, I think it is 100% that Madame is sick to you." "I was fine yesterday, but I got sick after a trip to Biteng Temple, and nine times out of ten I was infected by the Wu family.
There is also Mama who thinks like Zisu, and Mama Gui heard that Yuxi was also sick, and said, "Girl, I'm afraid I went to see Madame yesterday and got sick." "Yuxi's body, Mama Gui is also very clear, much stronger than Yuchen's. Even Yuxi was infected, which shows the lethality of this disease.
Yuchen felt that it was very possible: "When will the doctor come?" The doctor came earlier, and he would suffer less.
Yuxi waited for a long time and didn't wait for the doctor, so he couldn't help muttering, "Why is the doctor so slow today." "Normally, the doctor arrives in less than an hour. It's almost noon, and the doctor hasn't even come yet. If she doesn't come again, she wants to prescribe her own prescription, which is really uncomfortable.
Zi Su said: "The imperial doctor has already arrived, and he is treating the third girl in Tingyun Pavilion. I'll be here later. Afraid that Yuxi would feel uncomfortable, Zisu said: "The imperial doctor's medical skills are stronger than Doctor Bai's, we can wait a little longer." โ
Yuxi really didn't have the strength to complain. Who said that the medical skills of the imperial doctors must be higher than that of the folk doctors? Some doctors are more skilled than the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, but these people do not like to be constrained, so they are not willing to go to the Tai Hospital.
By the time we had lunchtime, the doctor hadn't come yet. Yuxi couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered Bingmei: "Go and see what's going on?"
Bingmei came back soon and said, "The imperial doctor saw the third girl, and she was originally going to come over. But Mrs. Chen went to Tingyun Pavilion and invited the doctor to Biteng Courtyard. โ
When Yuxi heard this, she didn't know how to complain: "It's really ...... to rob the doctor with me?"
Shisu was a little annoyed: "The third lady saw the doctor yesterday and prescribed medicine. Even if she wants to ask the imperial doctor to help her see it, she should wait for the girl to read it. That's what's going on. โ
Yuxi chuckled: "Maybe my mother is really uncomfortable and doesn't want to wait for a moment." Well, I'm also uncomfortable and don't want to wait. I'll make a prescription, and you will write it. โ
Zi Su looked at Yuxi in horror and said, "Girl, this is absolutely unacceptable. โ
No matter what Yuxi says or not, Zisu is unwilling to live or die, and Yuxi himself is powerless and can't move his hands, so he can't help Zisu, so he can only wait for the imperial doctor as if he is suffering.
It wasn't until the end of noon that the Imperial Doctor came. As soon as he walked into Tao Ranju, the imperial doctor smelled a smell of medicine, and said with a bad face at the moment: "Since you have invited a doctor, why do you want the old man to come over?"
Bingmei, who led the way, said suspiciously: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, our girl has been waiting for you, and we haven't asked for another doctor!"
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang's expression became more and more wrong, and he said, "Since you haven't invited a doctor, why is there a smell of medicine in the courtyard?"
Bingmei said with a smile when she heard this: "This medicine is what we drank to prevent us from getting infected." Speaking of this, Bingmei hurriedly explained: "This prescription was prescribed by my girl, and my girl used to learn pharmacology from my grandmother. So as soon as she got sick today, she asked people to grab medicine and boil it for us to drink. โ
Doctor Zhang's expression became worse and worse, how could he drink this medicine casually: "You just let her mess around, what if you eat someone to death?"
Bingmei said with a smile: "We asked the doctor at the pharmacy, and the doctor at the pharmacy said that there was no problem with the prescription, and we only caught it." "Shisu is also afraid that there is a problem with Yuxi's prescription, and in order to prevent problems, he will ask the doctor to see it and then arrest it.
Imperial Physician Zhang didn't speak. When I entered the house, I looked at the immature face of Yuxi lying on the bed, and my heart sank again. If it weren't for what Bingmei said later, he would have taught Yuxi a lesson.
Yuxi looked at the Imperial Doctor with a straight face, and looked at Zi Su and Bing Mei a little strangely. Seeing that Bingmei shook her head at her with a bitter face, Yuxi didn't say much with interest.
When Imperial Physician Zhang got up, he looked at Yuxi and said, "After reading a few medical books, I thought that if I understood medical skills, I would be able to change the prescription indiscriminately, do you know that this will kill people." โ
Yuxi now knew why Imperial Physician Zhang would straighten his face as if he owed him a debt, and she would not argue with Imperial Physician Zhang, which would leave a very bad impression. Yuxi just said weakly: "This recipe was left by Mama, and I have used it before." If the doctor thinks it is not good, then ask the doctor to help take a look. "Traditional Chinese medicine has this benefit, even if it can't cure the disease, it won't eat the dead. Of course, if there are poisonous herbs, that's a different matter.
Imperial Doctor Zhang really took the prescription and read it, and after reading it, he looked at Mrs. Yuxi's eyes a little complicated. Putting down the prescription, he nodded lightly and said, "This prescription is fine." With that, he walked out and made a prescription outside.
What Yuxi didn't expect was that the eldest aunt was also sick, and the symptoms were the same as Yuxi's. Yuxi said depressedly: "I told my aunt not to come near me, but I was still infected." "Fortunately, this is just an ordinary typhoid fever, just take a few pills. Like her now, after taking a piece of medicine, her body is much lighter, and she can be cured in a few days, so she is not worried.
In modern times, this condition is known to everyone as the flu. Yuxi didn't know that it was the flu, but she instructed Tao Ranju's maid to drink a bowl of medicinal soup every morning and evening. Of course, the effect is also very significant, there are more or less people sick in the other courtyards, and everyone else in Tao Ranju is very good except for Yuxi.
PS: I remember in August, I was happy to say that I hadn't had a cold for a year, which was great. As a result, I caught a cold the next day, o(โฏโกโฐ)o
