Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

The maid took Jiang Nan and walked anxiously towards the house.

Jiang Nan followed the maid. Zhang's house was not very big, with three courtyards. The green plants in the courtyard were well maintained, and the rockery and flowing water gave people a unique sense of elegance.

Finally, the maid brought Jiang Nan into the room.

As soon as Jiang Nan stepped in, he smelled the scent of Chinese medicine in the room.

"Doctor Jiang, you are here. You must save my son."

"Mrs. Zhang, don't worry. Let me take a look."

The person who spoke was the woman who was holding the child last time. Since this was Zhang's residence, judging from the woman's dress, which did not look like that of a maid, she must be the hostess here. Women take their husband's surname after marriage, so it should be correct to call her Madam Zhang.

After Jiang Nan finished speaking, he hurried forward to check on the child.

The child looked to be about the same age as Jiang Shuang. The last time I saw him, he was still chubby. Now, his body was covered with red rashes. He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking lifeless.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan hurriedly took the child's pulse and checked the rash on his body.

The more he examined Jiang Nan, the more his brows furrowed.

"How many days has this child been ill?" Jiang Nan asked with a grim look on his face.

"Since I met you last time, I started having a high fever and a rash the day after I came back."

"That means it's been five or six days."

"So where have you been before?"

"That day I took my children to give porridge to refugees. Xiaobao seemed to have come into contact with the children there."

"I hope he hasn't been infected with any disease!" Mrs. Zhang thought of something and tears started to fall.

"I suspect it's a plague and it might be contagious," Jiang Nan looked at Mrs. Zhang and finally expressed his guess.

"What, the plague?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she couldn't bear the blow and took a few steps back, swaying.

Fortunately, the maid behind him supported him and he did not fall.

"I will prescribe some medicine for the young master to try first, and at the same time, isolate all the people he has come into contact with these days to prevent infection."

"Okay, I'll find someone to take care of it."

"Xiao Lan, go to the county government office and find the master. By the way, let someone else go. Now that you have come into contact with Xiao Bao, don't run around."

"Yes."

Mrs. Zhang looked so weak before, but I didn't expect that she could be calm and composed now.

This made Jiang Nan look at her with a new respect.

"Please Madam Zhang, please prepare some clean white cloth to cover your mouth and nose. This will also reduce the chance of infection to a certain extent."

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it right away. Doctor Jiang, now that you've had contact with Xiaobao, you shouldn't go home yet. There's a vacant room next door, so you can stay here first."

"Okay, then please ask Madam to send someone to tell my parents so that they don't worry."

Jiang Nan never thought that he would never be able to go back after this trip.

Jiang Nan covered his mouth and nose with a white cloth and simply took care of Xiaobao.

Dilute it with white wine and wipe his body to cool him down quickly.

There was no particularly good way to cool down in ancient times.

"Madam, what's going on with Xiaobao?" a deep middle-aged male voice suddenly came from outside.

"Master, Doctor Song said that Xiaobao might have the plague and is contagious. You should not come in. You should also ask the people from the county government to go to the refugees to see if there are any patients with the disease. If they are contagious, they need to be isolated," Mrs. Zhang said crying through the door.

"Okay, I know. Xiaobao is a lucky person. He will be fine. Madam, don't worry too much. I will send someone to find Doctor Song to take a look."

"Well, sir, you should pay more attention to yourself."

"I know."

After everyone left, Jiang Nan listened to the conversation between Madam Zhang and Mr. Zhang outside, who was from the government office.

"Madam, Mr. Zhang is working in the government office!"

"He is the county magistrate here."

It was pretty much as she guessed. An ordinary official couldn't live in such a big house.

Since he is the county magistrate, he should take action if he discovers symptoms suspected of plague.

There should not be a large-scale infection in the county now, because she has not encountered such patients during her consultation in the past few days.

Jiang Nan was busy all day, and fortunately Xiaobao's fever subsided.

Jiang Nan asked Mrs. Gu to send someone to find some medicinal herbs, intending to make some ointment for Xiaobao in the evening.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhang dismissed the servants outside and asked Xiaolan to take Jiang Nan to the empty room next door.

After finishing his work at night, Jiang Nan lay on the bed, thinking about Xiaobao's illness.

These symptoms are similar to the symptoms he guessed, but also somewhat different, so much so that Jiang Nan is not sure what disease Xiaobao has, but these symptoms are consistent with the characteristics of an infectious disease.

Jiang Nan was a little worried, hoping that the disease would not spread.

Jiang Nan got up at night and went out of the room. It was pitch dark outside and he couldn't see anything.

The servants have also gone to rest.

I could only see a rough outline in the moonlight.

Jiang Nan really couldn't hold it in any longer, she couldn't even urinate or defecate anywhere.

I can only find the toilet based on my memory from the day.

The place where Jiang Nan is living now is not the inner courtyard where Xiaobao lives, but a guest room.

Jiang Nan remembered that the toilet seemed to be just around the corner of the corridor.

Because he couldn't see clearly, Jiang Nan could only grope his way forward along the corridor carefully.

"Ouch," Jiang Nan couldn't see around the corner and bumped into the person who came.

"Sorry, please stay away from me," Jiang Nan thought about his own situation, and quickly took a few steps back to apologize and distance himself from the other person.

"Jiang Nan," a cold and familiar voice came from the darkness, with a tone of affirmation.

"Gu Yanzhou," Jiang Na asked uncertainly after hearing the voice.

"it's me."

"Go away quickly and stay away from me," Jiang Nan heard Gu Yanzhou's voice and took a few steps back.

"It's you, Doctor Jiang, who is here to treat Young Master Song."

"Yes, stay away from me, so that I won't pass it on to you later." Jiang Nan now only wanted Gu Yanzhou to stay away from him.

"I'm not afraid," Gu Yanzhou said firmly in the dark, looking in the direction of Jiang Nan. If you listen carefully, you can hear the worry in his tone.

"That won't work either. Xiaobao's condition is still unclear, and we don't know why you are here. You'd better not come to Zhang's house recently."

"I was sent by the current emperor to provide disaster relief, and I'm staying here temporarily," Jiang Nan didn't ask, but Gu Yanzhou took the initiative to reveal his identity.

Magistrate Zhang was afraid that Gu Yanzhou would make another mistake and punish him again, so he let Gu Yanzhou live in his own house.

"You are the person who disappeared at that time." Gu Yanzhou was rescued by me at that time, so everything can be explained.

"Yes, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid that you would know too much and it would put you in danger," Gu Yanzhou explained to Jiang Nan.

Gu Yanzhou didn't want to do the same as last time, so after meeting Jiang Nan he just said hello and left in a hurry.

I told her all this just as an excuse to hear her voice more and have more interactions with her.
