Red makeup against the world

Chapter 497

501
In Ronghui Hall, Xu Wanzhen was talking to Mrs. Xu, "Grandmother, do you think it's appropriate for me to send gifts like this?"

After coming to Beijing, she was in charge of the family, and she was in charge of the Xu family's daily dealings.It's just that the nature of this time is different from the past, it's safer to ask Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu smiled: "Young people are a bit aggressive, there's nothing wrong with that. Just let Nanny Tian in my room go to Songzhou."

The He family and the Xu family are friendships left by Mrs. Xu when he was alive, and they mainly cooperate in the silk business.

This time the acquisition of the Xu family's property in Jiangnan Road, regardless of the He family's initiative to give up the profits, it actually got a big bargain, and neither of the two companies owed the business to the other.To be honest, the He family only made up for the old master Xu's kindness.

She and Mrs. He have never met face to face, so it is not such a deep friendship.

Tu Fangyan married in the name of the Tu family. If she was bullied in the He family, the Xu family would also lose face.Of course, there is a better way to deal with this matter, but since her granddaughter wants to support Tu Fangyan, she should support her, and there is nothing to worry about.

Nanny Tian used to be the nanny in charge in Mrs. Xu's room, but now she has been half-raised.She doesn't care about things on weekdays, and only helps her with some important things.Letting Nanny Tian go is Mrs. Xu's greatest affirmation and support. Xu Wanzhen smiled.

Yulu opened the curtain and came in: "Master Su has brought a letter."

These few days, Su Liangzhi was very busy. He proposed the epidemic prevention strategy. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the emperor ordered Zhao Yuan to preside over the fight against the epidemic, and he was his deputy.

The prevention and control work of the whole city, the condition of the patients in the hospital, and the search for the source of the infection all require him to do it himself.

Every day when I went home, it was late at night, Xu Wanzhen hadn't looked at him for several days, so I had to tell the waiter to be more diligent.Starch all the clothes he changed to ensure that Su Liangzhi can go out fresh every day.

At this time, he had a letter, and it was estimated that there had been some progress.

Mrs. Xu opened the letter, laughed after reading it, handed it to Xu Wanzhen and said, "Your little uncle really deserves to be Su Xiao's miracle doctor, and he found a cure so quickly."

Xu Wanzhen took it over and took a closer look. It was very clear in the letter that Su Liangzhi, Zhao Yuanshi, and doctors from the city worked together to diagnose and treat the patients in the hospital.After discussing the prescription, after using it for two consecutive days, some patients' symptoms have begun to alleviate.

I came back from writing this letter because there is a key medicine in it - Qingnen Yinchen Artemisia, and the reserves in Beijing are running out.And the origin of this herb is in Lingnan Road, and the emperor has already asked Lingnan Road to quickly adjust the medicine.

The He family has already brought several carts of anti-epidemic medicinal herbs and sold them to Jingzhao Mansion.Therefore, he wrote a letter and asked the Xu family to ask the He family if there was such a herbal medicine.

The He family runs a north-south goods store, with caravans all over Gaomang, and selling medicinal materials is also a big business for the He family.

Mrs. Xu thought for a while, and said: "This is a favor. I will write a letter to shopkeeper Ao Da, and ask them to search for medicinal materials by themselves."

Xu Wanzhen continued to read the letter and wrote on the last page that they already had preliminary suspicions about the source of the outbreak.In two days, we will know whether it is right or not.

……

Two days later, Tang Bocai, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, led a team of yamen servants, followed by Zhao Yuanshi, Su Liangzhi and others, all wearing double-layered face scarves soaked in medicinal juice, and came to Luoshui River Bend.

The water flow here is slow, and the rushing river made a bend here before continuing to flow forward.

The floating objects washed down from the upstream all float on the water.

As he got closer, he could smell a stench of corruption coming along with the river wind.Looking closely, there were not only dead branches and rotten leaves floating on the bend of the river, but also dead poultry and fish.No one has been fishing these days, and it has been exposed to the sun for several days, and it is soaked in the water surface, with blowflies biting it, and there are some thin and black eggs on the water surface.

A yamen servant is guarding here to prevent idlers from approaching.

Seeing that Tang Bai had just arrived, he saluted and replied: "Master Tang, this is here. We asked the residents around here, and they said that a few days ago, they often saw beggars and idlers fishing here, catching all the dead fish and rotten shrimps. Go back and eat."

"Have you found those people?" Court Envoy Zhao asked.

"My subordinates found a few beggars' shacks. As Mr. Zhao expected, several people died inside. The rest, it seems, cannot be rescued."

Tang Bocai remembered that one of the epidemic prevention strategies was not to eat rotten, spoiled, or expired food.The animal drowned due to the torrential rain upstream had drifted here for at least two days, and when they picked it up and cooked it, something went wrong.

It appears that the source of the outbreak has been identified.

Thinking of this, Tang Bai turned around and asked, "Doctor Su, how should we deal with this place?"

Su Liangzhi has no official position, but he proposed the epidemic prevention strategy. These days, it has been implemented and the spread of the epidemic has been strictly controlled.Except for those who had just started getting sick, and those who came into contact with them and caused them to get sick, there was not a single new patient in the city.

This made Tang Baicai deeply grateful.This epidemic is well controlled, not only has he done nothing wrong, but he has made contributions.He is even more convinced of this young Dr. Su.

"Salvage all these dead animals, and bury them on the spot three feet away from the river bank. The burial pit is three feet deep and five feet wide. Sulfur is first sprinkled on the bottom of the pit, and one layer is filled and then another layer is sprinkled." Su Liangzhi reckoned Take a look at the quantity of this batch of landfill.

Tang Baicai ordered to go down and let the accompanying yamen servants start digging holes according to what Su Liangzhi said.

He led the crowd to the next location.

Landfilling all these rotting animals is tantamount to eliminating the source, so that the other party can be assured of the epidemic.

After a whole day of busy work, Tang Bai returned to the government office, feeling that his whole body was about to fall apart, and he couldn't lift a bit of strength.

It's just that I can't rest at the moment, so I called Master Shuqi over and said: "Do you know the source of the epidemic? Draw up an Anmin notice to report the progress of the epidemic, and warn again, don't eat rotten things. After eating, we must go to Qianbingfang for diagnosis and treatment."

Master Shuqi responded and drew up a notice to Anmin.Tang Bai just looked over, stamped the official seal, and sent it to the hands of the squares tomorrow, and the squares will post the notices on the streets and alleys.

……

The next day, Prince Qi's Mansion.

Shu Changshi danced with excitement, rushed into King Qi's study, and said, "My lord! Look."

The king of Qi took the invitation and asked in surprise, "Who is Fang?"

Shu Changshi nodded affirmatively, and said: "It's Fang Shuyu. He has resigned from the Imperial Academy and sent a letter to Zhan Shifu, willing to serve King Qi."

"Really?" King Qi's face was full of joy, this is really good news that fell from the sky. "Where is he?"

"In Zhan Shi's mansion under construction."

"Quick, quick! Take me to see him." Then he walked out the door.

Shu Changshi hurriedly chased after him, shouting: "My lord, my lord! You haven't changed your clothes yet!"

King Qi always wore simple clothes in his own mansion, only a green cloth Taoist robe, and a bamboo knotted wooden hairpin to tie his hair.Going out like this will inevitably damage the majesty of the prince.
