Chapter 31 Butterfly Fretting
The New Year is coming soon, and Dong's belly is getting bigger, but the baby in the belly is very obedient and well-behaved, not like his own mother at all.Prenatal education is very important in modern times. All parents don't want their children to lose at the starting line. A friend of Qi Luo's before was specialized in prenatal education guidance, so although Qi Luo is not very professional, she still knows the general common sense.When Qi Luo was free, she would talk with Dong Shi, play the zither and tell stories to the baby in her belly, and take her mother to exercise. In short, Qi Luo did everything imaginable. Qi Luo was very pleased, who could not love her with such a daughter?

Due to Dong's pregnancy, Qi Luo is basically in charge of the family affairs, and the Chinese New Year is the busiest time. In addition, Teacher Yu Duo has to go home to celebrate the New Year, so Qi Luo's class is suspended, but Yu Duo is reserved for Qi Luo. Some homework is said to be checked after the Chinese New Year meeting.Yu Duo is always very strict in front of Qi Luo, but when facing Ling Zhu in private, she always praises Qi Luo. Although Qi Luo's performance is not as good as Qi Luo's, her calligraphy, painting and Guzheng have really improved a lot. Quick, at the same time, Qi Luo's modesty of work is also appreciated by him. The most important thing is that Qi Luo's literary accomplishment is very high, and he can understand almost everything. I was so surprised, and even had some novel understandings. In short, I really like my student very much.Ling Zhu also admired Yu Duo very much, he was neither pedantic nor rigid, so sometimes Ling Zhu often went to talk to him when he was free.In addition to giving Yu Duo a monthly repair fee of 20 taels, Ling Zhu also gave 100 taels and a lot of new year goods as bonuses.

In addition to the original small Zhuangzi, Lingzhu’s family bought two Zhuangzi near the original Zhuangzi when they got rich. So this year’s Chinese New Year, Ling Zhu’s family’s income from the Zhuangzi alone is 5000 taels, and there are many others. Agricultural and sideline products.The steward of the foreign village came to report the account. Qi Luo held the account book and studied it all day long. Qi Luo was afraid that he would be cheated, so he asked someone to inquire about the prices of grain and agricultural by-products outside. No falsification, the accounts are completely correct.Qi Luo was very happy, and immediately took out 500 taels as a red envelope and gave it to the steward, and two horses of Suzhou embroidery to the steward.Everyone in the mansion has heard about it, and everyone envies it. Qi Luo just wants to tell them that as long as they do things well, he will not treat them badly.Then Qi Luo held a meeting of all the servants. In front of all the servants, 10 outstanding servants were selected according to their performance. Each person was rewarded with 20 taels of silver on the spot, and the wages for the next year The increase is 50%, and at the same time, 5 people who are passive and sabotage are also selected, and the wages of the next year will be reduced by 50%. If the selection is still the last in the next year, then they will be dismissed directly.For servants who do not have any rewards and punishments, an extra three months of monthly money will be given as red envelopes for the festival.Qi Luo's actions had a great impact on these people, and the servants talked a lot, but everyone hoped that they would also win the award next year, so the servants in Ling Zhu's house were full of enthusiasm.This made Ling Zhu's family very satisfied. It seems that the modern reward and punishment system is still very useful.

Qi Luo's New Year gift to Ling Cheng's mansion has already been given away. Most of the presents are mainly agricultural and sideline products, and some exquisite furs are also given.Judging from the tone of the person who gave the gift when he came back, Ling Cheng was not very satisfied with the gift, and the artificiality was not refined enough.But Dong E's is very satisfied, because she can see from the annual ceremony that Ling Zhu's family is not very good, and her own family can be steadily higher than them.In order to show the wealth of Ling Cheng's family, Dong E's gift to Ling Zhu was very expensive, including jewelry, silk, precious prey, and even two pieces of precious porcelain.Ling Zhu didn't feel ugly in the slightest, and secretly said to Qi Luo, he really picked it up, there are too few people with such big heads, they are simply synonymous with stupid people and rich money.As for the relatives of the mother Dong's side, it has been a long time since they have not seen each other, so there is no New Year's gift.According to the rules, Ling Zhu also gave some gifts to his superiors and colleagues, many of them were Western products bought from Boss Qian, which were exquisite and unique, because of the friendly relationship with Boss Qian, these gifts did not cost a lot of money.Boss Qian's business is very good. He knew that Ling Zhu was a cautious person and would not take his things, so he gave Qi Luo an exquisite pronunciation box and tools for painting western paintings as New Year's gifts.

Officials in ancient times also had annual leave, and Ling Zhu basically stayed at home with Mrs. Dong, rarely going out except when necessary.There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. Unexpectedly, it snowed heavily and the temperature dropped a lot.Qi Luo got up in the morning and saw that he couldn't run because of the snow, so he started radio gymnastics in his room.Hongying knew that Qi Luo didn't like to drink tea, and she would drink a large glass of boiled water after exercising every day, so she prepared it early.After finishing the gymnastics, Qi Luo was thinking about today's arrangements while drinking water. There was a little noise outside, "Ziyun, go and see what happened? Why are you so unruly?" Hongying said.

After a while, Ziyun came back and reported, "Girl, I found a frozen young man at the gate of our house this morning. The master is kind. I just bring him into the house and ask the doctor. It's the Chinese New Year. If that person It's unlucky if there's something wrong."

Qi Luo said with interest, "Really? I'll go and see, where is that man now?" "The master arranged it in the wing!"

Qi Luo brought Hongying and Ziyun to the wing room, saw Ling Zhu and Mrs. Dong were there, Qi Luo asked, "Ama, how is this man? Is there any help?"

"I don't know. I have already invited a doctor. I am looking at it. I think this person should be a student. He is quite handsome. He just arrived at our door somehow." After a while, the doctor came out and saw Ling Zhu shook his head and said, "The cold wind enters the body, severe typhoid fever, it is hopeless, good thing, let's arrange the funeral early!" After finishing speaking, he left.

Qi Luo was very curious about this person, plus he had read a few medical books and wanted to practice it, so he came to the bed.The young man on the bed was about 18 years old, with delicate features and handsome features, the most handsome one Qi Luo had ever seen, but his face was pale due to his serious illness.Suddenly someone patted Qi Luo, which made her jump, and turned around to see that it was her father.

Ling Zhu said, "What's the matter, I'm so absorbed in watching this. This young man still has some troubles in modern times, but here, hey, I should ask the butler to prepare the coffin. Now that we have caught up, let's do something good to put him in bed." Bury it."

"Ama, there's really nothing we can do? It's pitiful to look at him."

"It's not cured, won't the doctor say it? I also want him to recover. After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, but the lifespan of a person is not up to me."

Qi Luo knew that typhoid fever was a severe cold, so he might be running a fever.There is no western medicine for this, and traditional Chinese medicine is too slow to work.Qi Luo thought about it, and suddenly thought that Qi Huan found a dilapidated medical book a few days ago. It looked a bit old, and it was very difficult to read the handwriting on it. Qi Huan knew that he liked reading medical books, so he gave it to himself.There are cures for typhoid in some vague writing on it.Qi Luo carefully thought about the prescriptions he saw at that time, picked up a pen and ink and started to write, which filled the whole paper in a short while. "Ama, anyway, the doctor said he's not going to get better, why don't you try this prescription, maybe a miracle will happen?"

Ling Zhu said seriously, "Qi Luo is not joking. Although he is hopeless, if you take the wrong medicine, you will be under heavy pressure for the rest of your life. We have reached the end of our humanity, and you are not proficient in it." Medical skills, just understand a little bit of superficiality, so don't mess around."

Qi Luo is right when he thinks about Ling Zhu, but what if this prescription works?That proves that the old medical book is a treasure, and it may be helpful in the future to study it carefully. "Ama, what you said is also reasonable, but there are bad things and good things. What if I can cure him?"

Dong looked at the stubborn father and daughter and said, "Husband, let Qi Luo try, if it doesn't work, she will give up. Wouldn't it be better if I could be saved? I think this young man is pretty good, shouldn't he?" Then it's gone."

Ling Zhu looked at the persistent Qi Luo and then at the boy on the bed, and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll let you try, and I hope it can be saved. If you can't save yourself, don't be too sad and blame yourself. His life."

Qi Luo asked Butler Qin to find medicine according to this prescription, and then arranged for a boy named Xiao Yi to wipe his body with spirits, because the boy had a fever, and Qi Luo didn't want to burn out his body functions and cause complications.When it was about to finish, Qi Luo also asked Xiao Yi to pour it in for him. Although there were some difficulties, he still swallowed it.Qi Luo also ordered Xiao Yi to feed him a large glass of warm water every half an hour, Qi Luo did everything he could, and the rest was up to God.After drinking the medicine for three days, the boy's body temperature gradually became normal and his breathing gradually stabilized. Ling Zhu's family was very happy, especially Qi Luo, who now treats that book like a treasure.Two days later, Qi Luo went to check on the boy's condition as usual, and when he walked to the bed, he saw the boy's hand move and slowly opened his eyes.

Qi Luo said excitedly, "Are you awake? Do you want to drink water?" The young man hummed weakly, and Qi Luo quickly poured a glass of water for him to drink.Ling Zhu and Mrs. Dong rushed over when they heard the news. The young man said hoarsely, "Where is this? Did you save me?"

Ling Zhu said, "This is my home. My name is Ling Zhu. It was my daughter who saved you. I really didn't expect that she, who knows a little about medicine, would actually bring your life back."

The young man looked at Qi Luo gently and said, "Thank you, little girl, I will repay you in the future."

Qi Luo hurriedly said humbly, "No, no, I just happened to happen. You shouldn't be rejected."

Ling Zhu said, "You are just right, but you are still very weak, it is better not to talk, you rest, we will talk when you are better."

The young man nodded slowly, took a look at Qi Luo, and then closed his eyes.His body is really too weak, and he can't bear it just by saying a few words.Ling Zhu told Xiao Yi to take good care of the boy, and then helped his wife and Qi Luo to go out together.

Thank you for your support, I will never give up, and I will add another chapter in the afternoon.
