Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 576
"Sickness comes like a mountain", just when Cao Yong tried his best to figure out how to use the existing resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to earn military expenses for the Northwest, he fell ill.

The condition was fierce, from falling off the horse in front of the door, to inviting the imperial physician to come over, but more than half an hour, Cao Yong was already in a daze with fever, and his personnel was unknown.

In Wutong Garden, Chuyu and Zijing are looking after Cao Yong in the back room.

The imperial doctor came and was led into the back room to check the pulse. Mr. Zhuang and Cao Yin were waiting in the middle hall.Because she was afraid that Mrs. Li would be worried and couldn't bear it, she kept hiding it.

Cao Yin's face was solemn, and Mr. Zhuang's brows also revealed worry.

Thinking of his son's eyes closed just now, Cao Yin felt regretful in his heart.

Although he knew that his son was injured in Mongolia, but after asking, he didn't care about it anymore after he knew he was "healed".

In the past few days, he has been busy with his youngest son's "three washes", his nephew's "full moon", his wife's "birthday", and collecting information on several houses of the House of Internal Affairs, so that his son knows what to expect.

But Dudu didn't think about his son's body, whether the previous injury was really healed, or fake healed...

*
In the back room, Cao Yong was lying on the kang with his eyes closed.

Doctor Chen sat on the edge of the kang, examined the pulse carefully, then looked at Cao Yong's complexion, stretched out his hand to roll down his eyelids, and looked at the fundus of his eyes.

Since she was the usual imperial physician of the Cao family, the female family members did not need to avoid her. Chu Yu stood aside, looked at her husband, and tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.Amethyst stood behind her, her face also full of worry.

Doctor Chen went out of the inner room after checking the pulse, Chu Yu followed, Zi Jing stayed behind with a little girl, threw a handkerchief, and wiped the cold sweat from Cao Yong's forehead.

Seeing Imperial Physician Chen come out, Cao Yin hurriedly asked: "Imperial Physician Chen, what is this..."

Doctor Chen mentioned some symptoms, which were nothing more than "thinking more and sleeping less", "stagnation of liver qi", "disharmony of qi and blood", "red tongue with yellow coating" and so on.

Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang listened carefully, and were relieved to see that there was no serious illness.

However, the imperial physician's next few words made everyone feel relieved and tightened up again.

After Chen Taiyi finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chu Yu, pondered for a moment, and said to Cao Yin: "My lord, everything else is trivial. Liver qi stagnation is often caused by emotional failure or the intrusion of disease. Whether it is good or body medicine, it is easy to recuperate. Qi and blood are not adjusted, liver and kidney are insufficient. The liver stores blood, the kidney stores essence, and the main essence and blood are insufficient. In addition, fatigue and internal injury, external evils enter the interior, prolonged illness and depletion, making The eldest son has spleen and kidney yang deficiency. Long-term diarrhea and long-term benefit, long-term water evil, internal yin and cold, and imbalance of viscera and organs throughout the body, this... not only hinders the housework and heirs, it may be life expectancy..."

Chu Yu's eye circles were already red, and she covered her lips with a handkerchief, unable to speak; Cao Yin held the handle of the chair, his face was already pale, and his body was trembling slightly.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes also turned black when he heard it, and he almost passed out.

Seeing the appearance of Chu Yu and Cao Yin, both of them lost their composure, Mr. Zhuang had no choice but to calm down, and said to Imperial Physician Chen, "Although there are internal injuries due to fatigue, it is only a matter of these two months. Don't be 'long-term sick'. Since it seems inappropriate now, does the imperial physician have any prescriptions for recuperating?"

Physician Chen just followed the symptoms and didn't think much about it before.

After hearing Mr. Zhuang's words, he realized that he had frightened Cao Yin and Chu Yu, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty and the Princess don't need to worry too much, the Eldest Young Master is young after all, so he can take care of him for three or two years. It's okay."

If so, how did Cao Yin and Chu Yu reduce their worries?

Still Cao Yin nodded, and said: "That's all right, then ask Imperial Physician Chen to prescribe a prescription."

After a while, Imperial Physician Chen prescribed a prescription.

Some medicine houses have them in the warehouse, but some medicine materials are not. Cao Yin asked Chu Yu to send the imperial physician back and prepare the medicine.He himself, together with Mr. Zhuang, went into the back room to see Cao Yong.

There is a room between the middle hall and the inner room, but there is only a wall between the outer room and the inner room; the hollow Baibao Pavilion is between the outer room and the inner room, which is not soundproof.

In this way, when he heard the words of Imperial Physician Chen, his expression changed drastically, and there was also Zijing.

When Amethyst first came to Cao's house, Cao Yong was only four or five years old, and now it is 20 years old.

Speaking of it, she not only watched Cao Yong grow up, but also had a strong relationship between the two.Cao Yong treats her no less than several relatives and sisters; she treats Cao Yong as a little master and protects her fiercely.

Hearing good people, but adding these problems, how can we not make Zijing feel like a knife.

Her tears fell down, and she was afraid of crying out loud, disturbing Cao Yong, but she was able to cry without words.

When Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang entered the back room, they saw the picture of Zijing sitting on the bed beside the Kang and weeping.

Amethyst and Cao Yong are half-nanny.

Although she is young, she was the one that the old matriarch had to use during her lifetime, and she had taken care of Cao Yong for several years, and her treatment was that of a nanny, and no one dared to neglect her.

When Zijing heard the movement, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, got up and blessed the two of them.

Mr. Zhuang nodded in return, Cao Yinben felt a little uncomfortable when he saw a woman sitting on the edge of the kang wiping her tears, and thought she was a maid in his son's room.

Afraid that his son would be young and foolish, and ruin his body.

He was also afraid that his son would be soft-hearted and favor the concubine, and offend Chuyu, the royal daughter-in-law.

After seeing Zijing, Cao Yin knew that he was thinking too much.

Zijing comes from a scholarly family, her family is very good, and she has been taken care of by the old lady for several years, so she looks very good.

If it wasn't for her getting older, Cao Yin would really like his son to have such a concubine.

Seeing Cao Yong who was unconscious on the bed, both Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang were speechless.

There was silence in the house, only to hear hasty footsteps coming from the yard.

Everyone looked towards the door, but it was Mr. Gao who got the news and rushed over.

"Brother Yong..." The old lady walked hurriedly, with a bit of worry on her face.

Afraid of disturbing Cao Yong, Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang hurriedly invited Gao Taijun to the hall for tea.

Gao Taijun said to Cao Yin with a bit of censure: "It looks good at noon, why do you say that you are sick, you are sick, a good child, how tired is he?"

Cao Yin chose a few plain words from the imperial physician's words, and said them to Gao Taijun.

After Gao Taijun heard that there was nothing serious, his expression eased...

*
It was not until the next day that Cao Yong opened his eyes.

Although he didn't have a fever anymore, his throat hurt so badly that he was struggling to speak.

Cao Yong opened his eyes and wanted to sit up, but he was powerless.

During this struggle, he was sweating profusely, and his body felt wet and uncomfortable.

Chu Yu was holding a piece of needlework in her hand, sitting on the edge of the kang and guarding. Seeing Cao Yong like this, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your son-in-law is awake? Thank God."

Cao Yong felt the pain in his throat like smoke, and said: "Water!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu went down to the ground and poured half a cup of warm tea, and personally fed it to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong leaned on Chuyu's arm to sit up, listened to the chime of the clock in the outer room, and hurriedly looked out the window.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs... Yamen?" Cao Yong asked in a hoarse voice.

"Don't worry, my son-in-law, the master has already asked someone to ask for leave. My son-in-law needs to spend less time trying to raise her child." Chu Yu replied.

Cao Yong only felt that his throat was sore and itchy, and he lowered his head and "coughed" a few times.

"I'm... feel... cold..." Cao Yong asked.

Chu Yu recalled what Imperial Physician Chen said yesterday that he was afraid of people, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Cao Yong's arm, and said with a bit of worry: "My son-in-law, can you push this job from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ask them to choose another talented person. My son-in-law... ...It's been really hard these years, so let's take a two-year break!"

Cao Yong looked at his wife, but was speechless.

If it was another errand, it might be possible for him to resign; if it were another time, it wouldn't be so urgent.

Unexpectedly, it was the turmoil in the northwest, the treasury was empty, and Cao Yong fell into the eyes of the emperor again. It was really inevitable...

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.

Kangxi was still waiting for Cao Yong's first meeting after taking office, but at noon, Cao Yong did not see him handing over the sign.

He sent someone to ask, and only then did he know about Cao Yong's "sick leave".

The emperor is suspicious, this sentence is indeed true.

Kangxi frowned when he heard Cao Yong's "sick leave", wondering if Cao Yong was hiding any selfishness.

After entering the false note reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and recognizing that it was Cao Yin's handwriting, Kangxi lost his suspicion.

Cao Yong is a lazy guy, but also a bit clever.If it is for the new official to take office three times, or something else, it is not a big deal to use a "sick leave" to leave room for getting acquainted with the old people over there.

If there is Cao Yin in it, then Cao Yong is really sick.

Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

It took too long to return to the capital from Uliasutai.

Not to mention that Cao Yong is a sick person, even if he has a strong body, he will lose five or eight catties of meat after traveling all the way.

However, after seeing the imperial case, the minister of the Ministry of Officials Fu Ning'an's sparse report, and thinking about the situation in the northwest, the little bit of guilt in Kangxi's heart disappeared.

He raised his head and said to Wei Zhu who was standing by the side: "Go and find Elder Sixteen, ask him to get some recuperating tonic from the imperial pharmacy, go to Cao Yong's house to visit Cao Yong, and see how his condition is. If it is serious, call There are a few more imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, and you can also use the imperial pharmacy for medicine."

"Hey!" Wei Zhu bowed in response and stepped back.

Kangxi took Funing'an's report, and now the army is stationed in Balkur, which is thousands of miles away from Suzhou.The food sent before was only half a year's worth.

Among other things, the money and rice will be prepared now.

By the first month, next year's half-year rations will be shipped to the northwest.Otherwise, if the logistics supply is insufficient, how can we fight and kill the enemy?
Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't wait to look forward to Cao Yong getting better soon.

*
The sixteenth elder brother has received the letter and knows that Cao Yong did not go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs due to illness.He was still thinking about whether to visit him in the past two days.

Wei Zhu hurriedly came to proclaim the decree, but it was exactly what Brother Sixteen wanted.

With his guards, he galloped back to the capital, and swept away all kinds of precious nourishing herbs in the pharmacy of the Supreme Hospital.

It wasn't until the guards had no time to carry their bags, and the storehouse on the side of the pharmacy turned pale with fright at Brother Sixteen's feat, that Brother Sixteen waved his hand and led everyone away...
