Chapter 50 Smallpox ([-])

"Prince, you just reset, it's better to do things down-to-earth!"

"My lord knows, this must be something you suggested to me, the prince will definitely follow the instructions." After the prince finished speaking, he cupped his hands and bowed.

Shu Yi raised his forehead, okay, okay, just be a witch, at least you won't be convicted, and you won't get Yinti's head down.

I don't want the prince to really ask her to be a staff officer: "I have a little matter I want to ask my younger siblings. Someone in the court proposed to make the third and fourth princes, but Huang Ama is still hesitating, what do you think?"

"Are you afraid that they will threaten your status, the crown prince?"

She told the truth, but the prince didn't look good on his face. Seeing his acquiescence, Shu Yi asked again: "But they are all meritorious ministers who helped you escape the crime. The two masters should have a good relationship with you. Why bother?" So afraid?"

The prince waved his hand: "The only reason for helping me get rid of the crime is that they want to make meritorious service in front of Huang Ama. Now they are going to be named princes. Is it possible to guarantee the future?"

Shu Yi chuckled, she really looked down on people like Yinfeng, so she gave him a good idea: "The emperor has so many princes, why don't you appoint more princes and county kings, they check and balance each other, It won't affect your status, and I will remember your kindness and help you well, not to mention that the emperor likes to see his brothers respecting him most, and this move can also win the favor of his old man."

After hearing these words, the prince smiled happily: "It's really a good idea, I will go to play tomorrow! If this can be done, I will give you any rewards you want!"

"It's just a reward, the prince will take care of our fourteenth master in the future!" Shu Yifu said with a smile.

The end of the year is approaching, there are a lot of things to welcome and send in the mansion, Shu Yi feels dizzy looking at the thick gift curtains, she really doesn't understand what is the meaning of sending them back and forth from each mansion, sometimes after a few hands, send them out The gift returned to the mansion again, and he couldn't help sighing, it's all a face-saving project!

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, I finally had time to take a rest. Just as I picked up my scriptbook to read, Hongtun's nurse, Nanny Li, ran into the house in a hurry.

Almost knocked over the tea set in Ting Lan's hand: "Nurse Li, why are you in such a hurry, be careful to bump into Fujin and pull you out to play the board!"

Nanny Li said in a panic, "Miss Tinglan, it's terrible, little elder brother seems, seems..."

"What about little brother?"

Shu Yi heard the conversation between the two, and felt uneasy: "Madam Li, come in and answer, what's wrong with Hong Huang?"

Nanny Li knelt on the ground, her face was pale, and she was so anxious that she was sweating for nine days. She tremblingly said: "Little elder brother got up with a fever in the morning. I just saw two rashes on his forehead. I'm afraid, I'm afraid. smallpox……"

When Shu Yi heard the word "smallpox", her mind buzzed!He didn't even bother to wear the cotton-padded jacket, so he staggered to the west wing.She was vaccinated when she was a child, but in her century, smallpox and chickenpox had already become things in books.

Now it is the Qing Dynasty, smallpox can kill people, not to mention it is contagious.

She leaned beside the rocking car, Hong Tun's little face was flushed, and she had several herpes. When she lifted the quilt to see, there were also many red pimples on her arms and neck.It must have been too itchy, she kept moaning and stretched out her little hand to scratch her face, she quickly tied his little hand up again with the strap of the rocking car.

"Ting Lan, go and order Lang Changshi to close the gate of the mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and then send two doctors to come in!"

She sorted out her thoughts, paused, and said, "Go to the palace to find the Fourteenth Master, and ask him to bring back an imperial doctor who has experience in treating smallpox! In addition, there are many children in the West Court, so tell the big side Fujin, the big brother Hongchun today After school, they will be sent to Empress Defei, and the other children will be kept behind closed doors by the wet nurse! Except for the doctor and the imperial physician, no one is allowed in or out of our yard, even if the master is back, don't let him in!"

"Fu Jin, what about you?" Ting Lan was so worried about Shu Yi and Hong Tun that she burst into tears.

"Don't cry, it's useless to cry now, hurry up and do what I ordered! Tell Madam Liu to see if Hong Ming is okay!"

Ting Lan wiped away her tears, and returned: "Second Elder Brother has been vaccinated, so there shouldn't be any serious problems. I will take care of other things right away!"

It was only then that Shu Yishi remembered that Lord Kangxi had already implemented the vaccination method, but Hongyun was still too young to be vaccinated.

Hongyun's crying made her go back to the rocking car. She hadn't coaxed the baby much, but she was at a loss when she saw the crying baby, so she had to announce that Hongtun's wet nurse, Nanny Li, came in again!
Shu Yi sat on the head of the bed, clasped her hands uneasily, if it was said that she often had a lot of contact with outsiders, it would be herself and Yinti, but both of them were fine, how could Hongyun be infected with smallpox all of a sudden?

"Mother Li, have any outsiders come to Hongyu's place these days?"

"These are the only people in our yard, and there are no outsiders here!"

"What about the other yards?"

"You're asking this, servant, but I remember that yesterday, the wet nurse of Little Gege from the West Court came over to deliver a bowl of milk soup. At that time, she even wiped our little elder brother's face with a handkerchief!"

Shu Yi's heart was shocked, and she hurried to the door and ordered: "Tell Lang Changshi, go to the west courtyard to check carefully, is there anyone who has smallpox or has been in contact with someone who has smallpox!"

As soon as the Langzhong recruited by Chang Shi left, Yinti rushed back with the imperial physician.

Ting Lan blocked the door: "Master, Fujin said that smallpox will spread to others, so only the imperial physician is allowed in."

How could Yinti care about this: "You Fujin are all inside, why can't I, a big man, get in?"

"My lord, if this servant can't stop you, I'm afraid you will be punished."

"Get out of the way, I am really punished to bear it for you!"

In the West Wing Room, the imperial doctor just showed it to Hong Yun, and it was the same as the doctor's diagnosis: "Back to the Fourteenth Lord, back to Fujin, the little elder brother is indeed infected with smallpox. It is very dangerous at present, and I can only do the same as the doctor. Some antipyretics...the rest may depend on fate."

Knowing that the treatment conditions are limited, Shu Yi didn't want to make it difficult for him, so he just asked him to prescribe medicine and stay in the mansion for emergency.

Yinti stood by the rocking cart and looked at Hongtun, Shu Yi walked over and pulled him by the sleeve and pulled him into the small hall.

"The imperial doctor was here just now and I didn't want to talk about you. Didn't I let you in? I don't know that smallpox is contagious!" She cried anxiously: "There are so many things in the mansion, and I'm overwhelmed. You still want to make trouble!"

Yinti hugged her into his arms and comforted her: "Don't worry, I've already asked Huang Ama for leave, and I'll take care of it with you until Hongyun recovers."

"What if you get sick too!" She looked up, with tears in her eyes, and sucked her nose.

"When I was young, Huang Ama ordered the imperial physician to vaccinate me with the pox. Besides, you are a strong man, so even if you get infected, you won't have any major problems. It's you, who are weak in winter, which makes me feel worse. Worry."

Shu Yi looked at Hong Tun, who was not sleeping peacefully in the swaddling baby, and felt distressed: "I am also his mother-in-law, how can he not be by his side when he is sick!"

After dinner, the head of the mansion, Shi Langming, knelt at the door through a thick curtain and replied: "The servant checked all afternoon, and there is no one in the mansion who has smallpox except the little elder brother, but..."

 About the vaccination method during the Kangxi period:
  Remove the scabs from smallpox patients, dry them out, grind them into fine powder, add some borneol substances to them, grind these substances, and blow these substances into the nostrils of the vaccinated people.

  Kangxi first vaccinated his own children, and they all passed the dangerous period of vaccination; Kangxi then vaccinated ministers and their families with a very high success rate; after that, Kangxi promoted vaccination throughout the country, benefiting tens of millions of people.
