Jinyi champion

Chapter 134 The situation is serious

Zhu Jia's manor outside Changshou County, Zhu Jiashi was meeting a special guest that day... Zhu Fang, the daughter of Ke's family who was married to Jingshan County, Anlu Prefecture.

After Zhu Fang received a letter from her family, she specially went back to her natal home. As soon as she arrived, she went straight to the meditation room and saw her mother who was worshiping the Buddha.

"I don't know what's the important thing that my mother asked me to come back? The letter refused to say, and the Ke family was wondering if something serious happened, but it must not be the elder brother of the capital who asked me to wait for the little trouble..."

Strictly speaking, Zhu Fang's marriage is not from the Zhu family, and she rarely has contact with her natal family.

Zhu Jiashi put the beads on the altar, turned around and looked at her daughter, with a stern look on her brows: "I'm looking for you back for my mother, don't you know why?"

Zhu Fang is only about [-] years old, and because she is the youngest daughter, she has the shadow of her mother Zhu Jia's from her appearance to her temper.

Zhu Fang frowned: "Mother, what do you mean by that? I feel that I am married outside, what did I do to the Zhu family's ancestors? If there is nothing else, I will go to see my father."

"and many more."

Zhu Jia called her daughter back, her tone softened slightly, and she asked, "My mother asked you, do you know about the third bedroom?"

Zhu Fang was a little helpless when she heard that the "three houses" were involved: "Mother is partial to the elder brother and the second brother, I know this, but mother also knows that I had the best relationship with the third brother and the third sister-in-law before I got married. How difficult is it to get up the lintel? Why can't mother put her heart in order?"

Zhu Jiashi asked coldly: "So, is the third daughter-in-law with you?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Fang became anxious when she heard this: "What does mother mean? How could the third sister-in-law be with me? Isn't she running a shop in the city?

"No, my mother asked me this way. Could it be that the third sister-in-law's family moved away? Why did my mother doubt me? After all, the Ke family is also a scholarly family, a big family in Jingshan, and the grandpa is also in charge of Confucianism in the county. Even if the third sister-in-law wants to defect to whomever Will not go to my daughter.

"The third sister-in-law is a chaste woman bestowed by the court, do you think the Ke family can take her in?"

Zhu Fang is a smart person, she heard that maybe Zhu Niang was overwhelmed by the oppression, and fled with her family. Now that Zhu's family can't find Zhu Niang's whereabouts, they called her back to ask for clarification.

Zhu Jiashi thought about her daughter's words seriously, and felt that they made sense.

If Zhu Niang "runs away privately" and takes her son to avoid being chased by the family, but runs to Aunt Zhu Hao's house, no matter how good the relationship between the two families was in the past, the Zhu family will still be able to find out the news easily.

"Then you don't have any information about her whereabouts? When she left, she never wrote to you, or asked you to help her drive horses and horses?" Zhu Jiashi asked.

Zhu Fang laughed suddenly, and said: "Mother, you really forced the third sister-in-law to leave? She must have taken Xiaohao with her, right? She walked so cleanly, they must have given all the fields and houses in the city to Zhu Fang. Home...Since that's the case, why is mother chasing her? No matter how she lives outside, she will never treat Xiaohao badly..."

Zhu Jia said angrily: "Ask you, you can answer directly, don't talk so much nonsense!"

Zhu Fang shook her head: "No, I once heard that mother asked the second brother to embarrass his mother and son. I wrote a letter and wanted to invite them to Jingshan County, but the third sister-in-law didn't reply, and there was no news after that...Mother doesn't believe it. You can go and investigate, if you find that the child is lying, the child is willing to be punished!"

Seeing that Zhu Fang denied having anything to do with Zhu Niang's departure, Zhu Jiashi completely cut off the clues.

Before, Zhu Wanjian slandered and said that he had something to do with Su Xigui, but who is Su Xigui?It is not easy for the Zhu family to get in touch with such people, especially Zhu Niang has a reputation as a chaste woman, and it is even more impossible for Su Xigui to maintain an unclear relationship with her... Besides, it seems that this is all hearsay.

"Mother, my daughter is just a daughter-in-law in the Ke family. What will the Ke family think when you write to ask her to leave everything behind and go back to her natal family? Besides, plagues broke out in many villages and towns along the way, so it is inconvenient to come and go... At this time, Zhu Shouldn't the family thank guests behind closed doors? What's the matter with my little sister-in-law? It's really... Sigh!"

Zhu Jiashi rolled her eyes at Zhu Fang's words. She waved her hands and said coldly, "Go see your father. If you really don't want to stay at home for a long time, you can leave tomorrow! If you have any information about the third family, please send it back as soon as possible! "

Zhu Fang shrugged: "Mother has the final say."

Xingwangfu.

Gongsunyi went home to rest for a day on February [-], and when he came back to class, he found that Zhu San and Zhu Si hadn't come, and only Lu Bing was sitting there waiting for class.

Gongsun Yi frowned: "Did the two princes skip class?"

Lu Bingdao: "My father asked me to tell my husband that the two princes have contracted a cold, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come to class for the next two days... If Mr. Yuan said that my husband wants to give a lecture, just tell me."

Gongsun Yi was a little discouraged.

It has been less than half a month since he entered the palace to attend classes two years later.

The place where the class was first taught was in the inner house of the palace, but now it is back in the academy. This can only be regarded as the transition zone between the outer house and the inner house, and the emphasis is very different... Now the two princes simply say that they are sick. I am a scholar. Even if I'm just a scholar, the palace can't make fun of me, right?

Lecture to Lu Bing?He is only five years old after the new year, and he can understand a fart.

Gongsunyi asked patiently, "Is it serious because of the wind and cold? Did you invite a doctor?" This is to trick Lu Bing. This disciple is young and has no plans, so he shouldn't lie, right?

Lu Bing is an honest and good boy, and he answered straightforwardly: "Stuffy nose, sneezing, it seems that the condition is not serious, but I heard that I am afraid of the cold, and I am wearing thick clothes, but I still keep saying that I am cold. Please ask the doctor to come and see that there is nothing wrong with it." Seriously, just rest for a few days...Sir, don't we start the lecture yet?"

"Let's study by ourselves!"

After hearing what Lu Bing said, Gongsun Yi felt that this was not something that Lu Bing should know. Perhaps someone taught Lu Bing to say this, and the answer was too deliberate.

Thinking of being kicked out a year ago and being invited back a year later, and still being left out in the cold, Gongsunyi felt bad and was not in the mood to teach Lu Bing.

The teacher and the student each found a place to sit, relatively dazed.

As far as Gongsunyi is concerned, unless the palace publicly drives me away, I will just hang on here. I can’t neglect the matter of raising a family. After all, there is an old mother and a pregnant wife. The winter clothes don’t need to be patched anymore, so I can walk by myself without persuasion?
Don't even think about it!

……

Tang Yin's life in the farm was very dull for several days. Zhu Hao spent every day in his "laboratory" tinkering with some bottles and cans. Several stoves were set up in the yard, and something was being fired inside. The pungent smell leaked out, and he covered his face and ran away after a short while.

In the past few days, Uncle Gen often went to the market town and bought Zhu Hao a lot of baby lumps.

Zhu Hao conducted a primary selection among the twenty-two children, and selected fourteen to stay with him to study.

First teach three hundred thousand, that is, "San Zi Jing", "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Characters". Tang Yin does not need to condescend to teach, Zhu Hao can do it by himself.

The classroom is the large yard outside the laboratory, and fourteen tables, chairs and benches have been placed at this time.

Tang Yin listened to a few lessons and observed silently.

Zhu Hao asked someone to make a large blackboard and hang it on the outer wall. He usually writes on the blackboard with talc, and let the children read along. After learning, they start to write. Without pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they write on the table with willow branches dipped in water. There are many untidy things. Zhu Hao will correct it.

And then recite...

Tang Yin thinks this kind of teaching is very interesting. In the past few days, he has read all the stories and dramas given by Zhu Hao. Modify the plot according to some of my own ideas...

Just a few days passed.

On the fourth day of February, Zhu Niang came to the farm in a carriage.

Zhu Hao took Tang Yin out of the village to meet him.

Zhu Niang looked haggard and looked exhausted. When she saw Tang Yin, she gave a deep salute and called her sir.

In front of him is the famous Tang Bohu, even a woman like Zhu Niang who has not read many books knows the name of Jiangnan Tang Jieyuan.

When they arrived at the yard that had been cleaned up in advance, Zhu Niang explained the situation.

"A few days ago, we actually arrived in Anlu. It's just that your aunt and Xiaoting are both sick. I heard that there are plagues in the northern and eastern parts of Jiangxi, the western part of Nanzhili, and the southern part of Huguang..."

After thinking calmly, Zhu Hao asked, "You mean, you came by land and passed through the epidemic area?"

Zhu Niang nodded helplessly: "Yeah, I heard that the epidemic broke out. We didn't disembark after we crossed Jiujiang. We had to go ashore in Hanyang for supplies on the way. Who wants to stay in an inn near the pier and get sick? I don't know what kind of unclean thing was provoked, your aunt is fine, it's just Xiaoting..."

"I've heard people say that this disease doesn't affect adults very much, but the elderly and children are like being possessed by demons when they get sick. Some have high fevers that don't go away, and some cough and bleed for a long time. Some people can't breathe, and their faces turn red. Rough... the condition is getting worse and worse, and in the end it is almost out of control, and many people, young and old, have died because of it..."

"These days your aunt is taking care of Xiao Ting, basically she doesn't have clothes... stay in front of the sick bed, I came here just to tell you, and I have to go back to the town later, if it doesn't work, I can only go to the city to find a doctor..."

Tang Yin was afraid after listening for a while.

If he hadn't followed Zhu Hao by water, or had gone his own way and insisted on returning to Suzhou, maybe he would have become that unlucky "old and weak" person who died alone in a foreign land after contracting an illness...

Wouldn't it be self-defeating?
Zhu Hao hurriedly asked: "Mother, what stage has my sister's condition developed? What are the symptoms now? Tell me quickly."

Zhu Niang glanced at Tang Yin, she seemed to feel that Tang Yin was listening, and it was inconvenient to talk about many things, because there were taboos when speaking earlier.

Tang Yin was very sensible, so he hurriedly said goodbye and walked out of the yard.

After Tang Yin left, Zhu Niang said: "We didn't take it seriously at first. Back on the boat in Anlu, Xiaoting coughed continuously, and then she started to have a fever. Later, the cough stopped, but the fever got worse. It's even worse these two days. Save manpower... I found a doctor in the town, but I could only prescribe some medicine to treat the wind and cold. Your aunt's condition improved after taking it, but Xiaoting's side...has not been effective for a long time."

Zhu Hao probably understood what was going on.

Sounds like an upper respiratory infection.

The plague of Ming Dynasty happened from time to time, and it was also because of the large population and poor sanitation, especially the water sources could not be guaranteed to be clean. People's awareness of epidemic prevention is backward, as for medical conditions...

In short, it is the sorrow of the times, the elderly and children with low immunity are the most vulnerable to diseases.

Just like a child getting sick, a common flu is nothing more than a few doses of antibiotics for future generations. There are no antibiotics in this era, and hygiene conditions cannot be guaranteed after illness. Without antipyretics, fainting and even death after high fever are not uncommon, which is why the mortality rate of infants in ancient times remained high.

It is common for babies in later generations to get sick, and the fatality rate is extremely low, but in this era, it is even a threshold for the emperor to give birth to a child at five years old, let alone an ordinary family?
The continuation of human beings in this era depends more on crowd tactics. If there are too many births, there will always be some who can escape God's cleanup.

After learning that it was just a respiratory infectious disease, not the plague, Zhu Hao felt a little more at ease.

There is always a way, but it is also a great challenge for him.
