Lady of the Lord From the East

With the help of the slaves, the herbs collected will soon be enough, but Wei Wei is worried that there will be other patients, so it is natural to prepare as many herbs as possible.

And these herbs are not only for the treatment of chickenpox, they are effective for many diseases, especially the herbs that can treat fever and cold, there are not too many.

She gave a few slaves a task to stay outside to collect herbs, and she would come in the next few days to find some of the rarer herbs, while she herself returned with the picked herbs deal with.

A slave curtly flattered: "Miss, why don't I carry the things back for you."

"No, I can still carry it on my back." Wei Wei put the rattan basket on her back and weighed it, making sure she could handle the weight herself, and refused his help.

They came out to collect herbs. They walked all the way to collect them, and even entered the forest. Wei Wei didn't ride a horse, so the only way to go back was to walk back.

Fortunately, Wei Wei was not weak, and she carried a basket of herbs with ease, and it took some time to return to the castle.

Seeing that she was the only one who came back, the soldier guarding the gate quickly stepped forward to help Wei Wei send the basket into the castle.

She instructed the servants wearing masks to dispose of the herbs, put them on the open space to dry, took some of them to the kitchen to make an antipruritic medicinal soup, and carried them to Dolores and Caroline's rooms.

If you have chickenpox, you can't touch the water. If you want to stop the itching, you can only use a cotton swab to stick the medicine soup and wipe it a little bit. Wei Wei doesn't have a cotton swab at hand, but she left a lot of cotton when she made Dolores' dolls, and boiled it with boiling water to disinfect Barely usable.

The two children with chickenpox are in good condition at this time. Dolores' chickenpox has all been cured. Although it is itchy, she bears in mind that Dolores does not dare to scratch it, so she can only pat it lightly. She asked the maid to help her wherever she was. Wei Wei asked the maid to give her medicine at the moment, and she was very cooperative, not making any noise.

Caroline is different. This child is not yet old enough to communicate, and Mrs. Nancy, who is in charge of taking care of her, is almost responsive to her. , but her cry was low, and Mrs. Nancy's heart ached when she heard it.

Then, the more doted he loved, the more he loved to cry. If he didn't correct it, he was afraid he would turn into a bear child.

So now I don't have a fever, and the itchy little baby kept crying aggrievedly. While crying, he scratched with his little hand. It didn't make any sense. Mrs. Nancy could only hold her little hand and prevent her from letting her Touching, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with Caroline, and there was no way to make her quiet. At this moment, I had a headache and distressed, and I almost didn't cry together.

When Wei Wei came over, she looked at Wei Wei as if she had seen a savior.

Compared with Dolores, Caroline's acne breakout rate is naturally slower. Fortunately, there are no complications such as encephalitis and pneumonia when it was discovered early. As long as she takes a good rest, it will have little effect on her body after recovery.

It was because Caroline struggled all the time, and scratched a few times when the adults were not paying attention. Several of the chickenpox on her body were scratched. Fortunately, it was not the face that was scratched, but the arm, even if there was a scar. Cover with clothing.

Mrs. Nancy remembered Wei Wei's instructions. She didn't clean it up directly. Instead, she used cotton **** to clean up the pus that came out after the chickenpox broke. The used cotton **** were immediately thrown into the brazier and burned.

The work of rubbing the medicinal soup is also done by the maid. The medicinal soup prepared by Wei Wei is very effective in relieving itching, and it immediately feels refreshing when rubbed on the body. Soon Caroline’s crying stopped slowly, although it was still there. She was sobbing, but at least she didn't have to worry about her crying.

Mrs. Nancy breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help saying to Wei Wei, "Little Miss never stops crying. We don't know what she wants, and we can't comfort her. We're all worried that she'll make herself cry."

"Can't she speak yet?"

"Only speak a few words."

Nancy told her that Caroline would simply express her meaning, such as being hungry and sleepy, she could explain it clearly, but it was limited to that, and a longer sentence would not do.

And because both of her parents have passed away, the servants dared not call her someone, so Daddy and Mommy wouldn't call her that. The first thing she would call was "Nancy", so it's no wonder Mrs. Nancy hurts so much. she is.

In addition, Caroline, who is almost two years old, can't walk, and her standing is not very stable. It's not that there is a problem with her development, but that the child has hardly left the arms of adults due to excessive protection, and has no chance to learn to walk at all. .

And the people who take care of her don't think there is anything special about not being able to walk at the age of two. Isn't that the case with the children of noble families when they are young, even Felix, who is tall and big now, was also carried around by adults when he was a child. I started to practice walking when I was two years old.

The death rate of children is too high. If the servants are not careful, who can be responsible for something wrong?

At this point, the rich and powerful nobles of the East and the West during this period may have a lot of experience to exchange with each other.

"Children still need to exercise more for the body, especially when they are growing bones at this time, and the bones will grow well when they are exposed to the sun every day, otherwise they are prone to rickets."

Mrs. Nancy doesn't know what rickets are, but it doesn't sound good. This is what Wei Wei, who can even treat chickenpox, said, and the weight of the words is even heavier, so she still listened to it. He said that when Caroline's illness is cured, she will take her out to the sun more.

"Can I trouble Miss Weiwei to go for a walk with you then?"

With Wei Wei by her side, even if there is any problem, she can deal with it as soon as possible, so that Caroline should not get sick again because of going out.

"sure."

Wei Wei was worried that other people in the castle were infected with chickenpox, but the situation was much better than she expected, except for an eight-year-old maid who had just been brought to the castle by her family and would be with Caroline in the future. No one else got sick.

And this little maid was also diagnosed and treated by Wei Wei, and she also recovered well without lack of medicine.

A week later, the isolated servants can also leave the isolation room. Although it is not completely impossible to get sick, the chance is very small.

And the atmosphere in the castle also improved as the little masters recovered day by day, unlike the first two days when everyone was in danger.

The five slaves who were in charge of collecting medicine no longer had to continue collecting medicine. The four slaves except Kama went back to continue their previous work. Only Kama was left behind by Wei Wei.

Karma is in her early twenties this year, but she looks like she is in her thirties or even older, but she has not been a slave girl for a long time. Wei Wei only found out after asking Patton's housekeeper that it was because her husband hadn't treated the sick Eric William well. Moss, afraid of being beheaded by the old earl, packed up and fled overnight, leaving only Karma and her five-year-old daughter.

Probably no one thought that the doctor with good medical skills who seemed honest and honest would suddenly run away, and Eric's condition deteriorated the day after he escaped.

The old earl, who had lost his beloved son, fainted on the spot. After waking up, he immediately sent someone to arrest him. The soldiers who were dispatched found that the man had run away and brought his wife and daughter back.

Fortunately, the old earl was not a cruel person. Although he finally sent troops to capture the escaped doctor and executed him, Kama and her daughter survived, but changed from free people to slaves.

- This is probably another reason why the doctor I hired before knew that Dolores had chickenpox and didn't dare to treat it. Not only was she afraid of being infected, but she might be beheaded if she couldn't cure it.

Also because she was married to a doctor, Karma knows many medicinal herbs and has considerable experience in collecting them. Of course, knowing them does not mean she understands their usefulness. Her selfish husband is not generous enough to teach him the guy who eats. 's wife.

After knowing her experience, Wei Wei couldn't help but ask her, "Do you hate your husband?"

"hatred."

When Kama said the word, her face was calm, but Wei Wei noticed that there was a flame burning in her eyes, and it was indeed a flame called hatred.

Kama thought that she and her husband had feelings, maybe they did, but it was obviously not as important as his life.

But what she hated most was that in order to escape smoothly, the man didn't even think about notifying his wife from beginning to end, let alone taking them with him. Instead, he used her and his daughter as cover to confuse others so that he could leave smoothly.

Did he ever think that if he ran like this, what would happen to his wife and daughter?

Fortunately, he was caught in the end, otherwise the angry old count would definitely kill them to vent his anger.

So Karma hated him so much that he didn't even shed a tear when he was beheaded.

Wei Wei asked Kama to go. She was still a slave girl, living in the barn with her daughter and others, but her work was no longer heavy work, but she took her daughter to collect all kinds of plants and bring Come back to Wei Wei to check if there is anything available, and more often, she will help Wei Wei deal with those medicinal materials.

This kind of work is easy, and because of Wei Wei's appreciation, she often gets some small rewards, perhaps a small piece of bread or an old blanket, and the steward who manages the slaves will deliberately distribute more food For them, the daughter who can't work finally has the chance to have a full stomach.

Kama is very satisfied with this. Although she is still a slave, she can support her children and even prepare a thick winter clothes for her.

The chickenpox on the three small patients with chickenpox began to scab in the second week after the pox appeared. Wei Wei paid special attention to it at this time. They have to be fumigated with vinegar and disinfected, and no one can enter except the maid who takes care of them. Food and medicine are brought to the door and waited for people to leave before the maid brings them in. After eating, put the tableware into the hot water on the fireplace. After it has been boiled in a water pot, it will be taken out and handed over to the kitchen for cleaning. The maid must also do a good job of cleaning when entering and leaving, because the infection is the strongest during the scabbed period, so Wei Wei has to be more cautious.

In exchange for such caution, until the three children recovered smoothly, there were no more patients in the castle.

Everyone is very happy, this is the first time they know, and they have experienced firsthand that someone has chickenpox around them, but there is no large-scale infection and no one has unfortunately passed away. This feeling is as thrilling as escaping from the hands of the devil , and it was Wei Wei who saved everyone.

If everyone respected Wei Wei in the past just because she was the one Felix liked, the future countess, then now everyone is more because of her own ability, a future countess who masters magical medicine. A sense of security.

After all the patients recovered, the martial law in the castle was lifted, and the people who were free to enter and exit quickly spread the word about Wei Wei's ability to cure chickenpox, and the people in the territory knew about it, and even Other nobles also heard the news.

However, because the news has spread beyond recognition, it has become "Wei Wei is a beautiful fairy (Western fairy), with magical powers, with a light wave of her hand, she can heal chickenpox patients", it sounds like it's fake Yes, so apart from the fact that the people in the Fort Sardinson Manor knew the inside story, even the surrounding villages and towns didn't believe the rumor, let alone the other nobles.

So the rumors have been heard, and no one really cares.

Dolores, who had been locked up for two weeks, could finally come out of the room, but the little girl didn't want to go out. The scabs on her body had all fallen off, leaving light acne marks, although Wei Wei assured them that they would grow. Okay, but the beauty-loving little girl said she didn't want to be seen as ugly, so she wouldn't leave the room until all the pimples disappeared.

In this regard, Felix also agreed with her rare willfulness, but the room could not be left without leaving, but the class still had to be attended.

But another teacher resigned.

When Dolores had chickenpox, Mrs. Bates resigned after receiving the news. She probably didn't think the little girl would survive, and she was worried that she would be infected when she went to the castle. She resigned very hastily, only to Felix He wrote a letter, didn't even ask for the rest of his salary, and quickly found a new job.

Felix didn't embarrass her, and agreed that when she resigned, she had the rest of her salary sent over, but after Dolores was still ill, she didn't look for a new teacher.

Now the little girl is going to resume her studies, but she can't find a suitable teacher.

Wei Wei took Dolores to math and embroidery classes for a few days, and found that Felix didn't seem to have any plans to find a new teacher, so she had to come to him.

"I plan to go to the capital to find a good teacher for her." Felix stated his plan.

He has already sent someone to send a letter to someone he knows in the capital, asking them to help find a suitable tutor. Considering the distance between the two places, it will take time for the other party to help find someone, so Dolores and Wei Wei couldn't take the etiquette class anymore.

Of course, the little girl is happy about this. She is a little tired of the courses she doesn't like. It's a good thing for her to not have to attend classes. She can spend more time on the things she likes.

Wei Wei thought about it and felt that the little girl couldn't be so mourned, so she took over her music class.

Only then did everyone know that Wei Wei can play the harp, and her level is very high, absolutely professional. Felix compared the performances of those noble ladies he had heard before, and it was very impressive that she was still at a higher level.

And the music she played was very special. It was completely different from the music they usually listened to, but it was very beautiful.

However, everyone was still a little dumbfounded when they saw Wei Wei bring out a Konghou that was very similar to a harp from her room, especially the two maids who didn't expect Wei Wei to hide this musical instrument under the bed.

But no one doubted anything. Everyone knew that Wei Wei brought a lot of things back, and they all thought they were brought back when they were not paying attention.

Wei Wei's konghou is a vertical konghou, which is very similar in size and shape to a harp, but the shape of the phoenix head with black background and gilt makes it more domineering and luxurious than the harp. Princess Contrast.

Wei Wei took the Konghou out just to prove that she could play, and she was worried that it would break if it was always placed under the bed, so the instrument was later placed in the instrument room and kept with the harp. She taught Dolores When the silk is playing the harp, he will not touch the Konghou, but will play an ensemble with Dolores when he is in the mood.

With the guidance of professionals, Dolores' harp level has improved a lot, but the little girl did not like music because of this. Her favorite is still embroidery, oh, now she has to add a tailoring.

It was only when she saw the real thing that Wei Wei realized that Dolores had secretly made herself a dress with the drawings of the baby clothes.

And her aesthetic is very in line with the development of European clothing hundreds of years later. Wei Wei painted so many small skirts for her, but what she finally made was one of the most gorgeous Rococo style court skirts.

The waisted bodice, the large skirt, the lace, ribbons, embroidered patterns and intricate and complicated folds covered the whole skirt, garish but beautiful and rich.

In other words, Dolores dressed herself up as a moving gift box.

When Dolores wearing a dress made by herself came to ask Wei Wei for advice, Wei Wei was almost not surprised.

Should it be said that fortunately she did not turn the drawings into low-cut models but ordinary round necks?

Fortunately, there are not many types of fabrics that the little girl can use. She chooses white cotton as the base, with pink ribbons and laces. Even the embroidery on the skirt is only a circle of pink roses on the skirt, so the overall color All are elegant.

However, the original style of this skirt required skirts to hold up, and when it was made into a baby clothes, the hardness of the fabric itself and the folds could make the skirt hold up, so Wei Wei did not draw skirts, so it was too much. On Loris, the large skirt turned into a long one that dragged the floor, so she had to carry the skirt to walk without saying, and the carefully embroidered roses were also dragged to the ground.

Dolores looked at Wei Wei at a loss: "I made it according to the scale on the drawing, but why doesn't it look as good as Amy's? Her skirts are all big, like blooming flowers. Same."

That's why Dolores wears the skirt that isn't fully finished yet.

"This kind of skirt needs to be put on the skirt to hold it up."

The drawings that Wei Wei drew for her were not very formal, and the skirts of the Rococo style court skirts were not too big. If Dolores was not allowed to wear them, they would only drag on longer, like wearing adult clothes.

Dolores asked her, "So how am I supposed to hold it up?"

Wei Wei: "You're stumbling me." Although she likes this kind of beautiful skirt very much - I am afraid that every girl in the future will have a period of liking gorgeous court skirts - but she has never studied whether the skirt is how to do it.

Dolores has already mastered the skill of acting like a spoiled child, she threw herself into Wei Wei's arms and hugged her waist: "But you must know how to do it right, it was drawn by you, please , dear Vivi."

"Dear Weiwei?" A voice suddenly came from the side.

The two girls turned their heads at the same time, and saw Felix raising his eyebrows at them.

"It's not a habit that a lady should have."

Still afraid of Felix, Dolores immediately sat upright and moved away from Weiwei's embrace: "Yes, brother, I'm sorry Sister Weiwei, I shouldn't be willful."

Wei Wei glanced at Felix with a headache, no need to think that the man must be jealous again.

"It doesn't matter, you go back first, and I will help you find a way."

"Thank you, Sister Weiwei." Dolores immediately stood up obediently and walked towards the door with her skirt on.

"etc."

Standing at the door, Felix stopped his sister and looked suspiciously at the skirt on her body: "What are you wearing?"

He is not blind, although he usually doesn't study women's clothing, but the dress on Dolores's body is so "different", he found at a glance that Dolores's dress today is not at all women's today clothing style.

Look at the decoration on that dress, he'd never seen a woman get so many ribbons and bows on her body, it looks like...

"What do you think of the new dress I taught her to make."

Since this sentence was asked by Wei Wei, Felix had no choice but to say, "...It's beautiful." It's not good-looking because his sister's craftsmanship is not good, it's not that Wei Wei didn't design it well!

Wei Wei knew at a glance that he was lying, and she didn't take it apart, she motioned Dolores to go back to change her clothes and said to Felix: "The skirt is not ready yet, so it doesn't fit well, I'll wait until it's all done. Not bad."

Felix didn't pursue this issue too much, but he also reminded: "The church has been advocating that women should dress modestly, and her skirt may not be suitable."

Hearing him talking about the church, Wei Wei couldn't help but snorted, her face full of disdain: "It's a dress for prom, it should be more gorgeous, and what Dolores does is not gorgeous, she just isn't sure about it. That's it." There is still some difference between the clothes worn by the dolls and those worn by real people, anyway, Wei Wei would not hang so many odds and ends on her skirts, so the little girl's aesthetics can like that.

If Felix can see the court dress hundreds of years later, he will know what is gorgeous. At that time, the skirts were not all made of silk, and the decorations of feathers, flowers and gems were more like a flower basket.

Felix was acutely aware: "You don't like the church."

"Of course." Wei Wei nodded: "My motherland has its own myths and legends. I only heard about your gods after I came to Europe. I have no disrespect for gods, but some of the church's actions have really made I hate it."

It was only after she arrived in this world that she found out that the church in the Middle Ages actually opened! prostitute! hospital!
