Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

Not to mention how Aunt Zhao was banging on the door in the small courtyard, howling, begging, and cursing at the top of her voice, but just talking about the people in Rongguo Mansion who were shocked by the smallpox incident.

Mrs. Wang was the first master to know about this matter, but she didn't even bother to speak to Jia Mu and others in person, and only sent a few maids to report the news everywhere.Especially with his son Baoyu, he was ordered to only pass messages through the door, and absolutely not to contact people inside.

Baoyu, that is her lifeblood, if she gets smallpox, it will kill her.

As for Mrs. Wang herself, she ordered someone to prepare hot water, took a good bath, and changed into new clothes that she had never worn.As for the things that Aunt Zhao touched, they ordered people to take them out while she was taking a bath.In addition, all those maidservants who often share the same room with Aunt Zhao all stood aside temporarily, waiting for the imperial physician to check the pulse.

Because Aunt Zhao often set foot in the daily living yard, Mrs. Wang didn't stay there at all, and moved to the main room of Rongxi Hall, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise for her.After all, she lives in the main house of Rongxi Hall, and it is always not right, otherwise she would not feel wronged to nest in the east courtyard.

The upper room of Jia Mu in Rongqing Hall was already full of people, old and young, from the old lady Jia Mu to the great-grandson Jia Lan, the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion and Jia Baoyu. , except Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Xing lived in a remote place, and she was not valued by Jia Mu, so no one went to tell her. As for Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu specially ordered her to stay in her own room until she was sure she was all right.

After hearing such an order, Mrs. Wang was so angry that her teeth were itchy, and she didn't know how many handkerchiefs she tore.That old godmother despises her, for fear that she will also be infected with such a disease, and then it will be spread to Rongqingtang.While hating Mother Jia, she also hated Aunt Zhao to the bone.If it wasn't for that bitch, how could she be so shocked, so afraid, and so disgusted.

Mrs. Wang asked someone to take the post to invite Dr. Wang. As soon as she entered the gate of the mansion, she was invited to the Rongqing Hall. Everyone in the room was waiting for him to check the pulse.There are so many people in the room, but there is no sound, no matter the master or the servants, they all have serious faces and dare not move easily.

Holding Jia Baoyu in her arms with a bewildered face, Jia Mu was still carefully checking whether he had acne, even though she had seen it countless times.This is her precious pimple, if something goes wrong, then she doesn't have to live anymore.Fortunately, her precious jade is protected by that baby, so it must be all right.Well, it will be fine!

On the other hand, Li Wan hugged his son Jia Lan tightly, with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't help lamenting his own fate, no matter what kind of bad luck could happen to him.Pity her, Li Wan and Li Gongcai, as soon as Fang married, she lost her father, and as soon as Fang became pregnant, she lost her husband. Now, don't you even leave her a posthumous child? !God, you have pity on this miserable man!

Wang Xifeng, who is the most talkative to please Jiamu, is silent today, and has to look at the door from time to time, her red phoenix eyes are almost red.Not to mention how regretful she is now, she always goes to her wife's place on weekdays, and often sees Aunt Zhao face to face, who knows if that whore has contracted smallpox and then passed it on to her.

In addition, there are Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun who are also fidgeting, and all of them have pale faces.Although they are still young, they have heard from the nannies or nuns that the day flower is a contagious disease, and if they get infected, even if they don't die, they will still have pockmarks on their faces.If a family of daughters like theirs had a pockmarked face, they might as well be dead.Even Jia Xichun, who was the youngest and naive, was terribly frightened when she saw her sisters were scared.

And the person in this room who suffers the most is probably the third girl, Jia Tanchun, who is only six years old.Although she is not very old, but because she was raised by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang since she was a child, she has suffered so much under the fence, and she cannot be allowed to grow up early.Now, someone close to her biological mother and aunt has smallpox, which can be regarded as embarrassing for her.

Maybe, she doesn't know who to blame for this matter, so she can only bear the "culprit" in her heart.There are thousands of people in the entire family, and there are countless maids, big and small. Why does no one else have smallpox, but only hers?It can be seen that it was her master's fault, who offended some god, and punished the people around her.

Pity her, Jia Tanchun, a little girl who earns her living under the hands of her grandmother and aunt every day. She has to find ways to please them. , as if he couldn't see her well.She, what crime did she do, why did she have such an aunt!

In the upper room, the masters are fine, but some of the maidservants look even worse.There is no other reason, the smallpox-stricken maid, Xiao Que, loves to run around and play around on weekdays, because she is always sweet and flattering, these decent maids like to listen to her gossip and flattery.Just two or three days ago, some of them played with Xiao Que.

They have also heard of Tianhua, and it doesn't happen immediately after being infected, at least ten days before the symptoms appear.However, as long as it is infected, the disease will be contagious.According to the way Xiao Que's hoof ran a few days ago, there might be countless people among them infected by her.This is really... really terrible!

It was precisely because of hearing about this that Mother Jia and the others paid so much attention to it, for fear that the smallpox would spread throughout the entire family.

In the imperial hospital, Wang imperial physician who followed Xin'er did not dare to neglect. When he heard that someone in Rongguo mansion had smallpox, he not only came by himself, but also brought several colleagues with him.After all, the disease of smallpox is no small matter. If one person inadvertently infects it and becomes an epidemic, the whole capital may suffer.

Moreover, since the founding of this dynasty, there have been several smallpox epidemics in the capital, and many people died each time.What's more, even the masters in the palace were not spared.I think back then, the majestic founding father of the country, such a man of unparalleled heroism and illustrious martial arts, didn't he fall under the smallpox.Even today's Holy Majesty, hey, that also has a pockmarked face.

Nowadays, not to mention ordinary nobles, even the palace dignitaries, once they hear the word "heaven" flower, they will immediately become jittery.

The imperial physicians who came in a hurry, except for two people who stayed in Rongqing Hall to check the pulse of Jiamu Shi Taijun and others, the rest all went to Aunt Zhao's small courtyard, and they still had to diagnose the patient's condition.If he was really infected with smallpox, he would have to report to the empress, for fear that the entire Rongguo Mansion would be quarantined for a while.

In the small courtyard, Aunt Zhao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she kept beating on the door, even her hands were already bleeding.It's not that she doesn't want to call out, but she used too much force just now and hurt her throat, so she couldn't make any sound.But she didn't dare to stop, she decided to let the mother and son out.If it doesn't work, I have to get her ring out.

Unfortunately, after the big iron chain locked the door, no one wanted to approach their yard anymore.God, there is a person with smallpox in there. Just passing through the door, they are afraid of contracting the disease, let alone letting out the one who may be infected.Brother Huan's illness these days may be due to smallpox.

Jia Xiaohuan was terrified by his mother's behavior, hopping along beside her, persuading her non-stop, wanting her to rest assured that he's fine.Ke'er is mother's darling, he is in danger now, how can Aunt Zhao feel relieved.At this moment, she was also furious. Seeing that it was useless to knock on the door, she thought about finding a place to set up tables and chairs to climb over the wall.

Seeing her mother pulling the table and bench with disheveled hair, Jia Xiaohuan was grateful, and was even more afraid that his mother would accidentally hurt herself again, so she was about to tell her the truth when she heard a movement on the door over there.Jia Xiaohuan hurriedly hugged his mother's leg, and shouted loudly: "Mother, mother, listen, there is a sound at the door, they, they opened the door."

Aunt Zhao suddenly looked at the door, and saw that the chained courtyard door was opened, and a group of people came in from the outside.These people were all fully armed, with several layers of cloth scarves covering their mouths and noses, and white cloth strips wrapped around their hands, covering their entire palms.

The person in front didn't seem to like the scene in the hospital, so he gave Aunt Zhao a disgusted look, frowned and asked, "Where is the patient?"

Aunt Zhao didn't care about these things, as soon as she saw the courtyard door opened, the two of them had a way to survive, so she immediately carried Jia Xiaohuan on her shoulders, and rushed out of the courtyard with her head depressed.

Jia Xiaohuan lay on his mother's shoulders, wrapped her hands around her shoulders, buried her face in her mother's neck, and couldn't hold back her tears.Ever since he was reborn, he has been suppressing himself, unwilling to be a crying child anymore, but he couldn't help it now.

Mother, this is his mother!

Although she is just an aunt who gave birth to a child, although she has a hot temper and vulgar words, she loves him, loves him, and is willing to sacrifice everything for him, mother!

It's a pity that in his last life, he didn't really understand his mother's kindness and love for him until his mother was about to die in his previous life, so he wanted to repay his mother well; it's a pity that he understood it too late in his previous life. He didn't have the opportunity to be filial to his mother; unfortunately, until the end of his life, he just fulfilled a small wish for his mother...
