Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

At this critical juncture of smallpox inspection, Aunt Zhao couldn't step out of the courtyard even if she tried her best.Jiang Jiang only took two steps before she was stopped, and before she was even given a hard blow by someone, she staggered and fell to the ground.

What made Jia Xiaohuan cry again was that he clearly heard the muffled sound of his mother falling, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.Even at such a time, the mother still protected him tightly and did not let him get hurt in the slightest.

"Aunt Zhao, you'd better stay inside and wait for the imperial doctors to check whether you have smallpox. You have to think about it, it's a fatal symptom, and it will spread everywhere. If you run around and get killed Masters, it's not something you can afford with your life."

The speaker was dressed as a butler, with his face covered tightly by a cloth scarf, only a pair of slender and gloomy eyes were exposed.This is no one else, but the celebrity next to Mrs. Wang—the butler Zhou Rui, who is also the husband of Zhou Rui's family.He also hated Aunt Zhao's mother and son at the moment, and he kicked Aunt Zhao just now when she fell down.

Smallpox, who wants to be involved in such a terrible thing?If his mother-in-law hadn't already been involved, this unlucky job would not have happened to him.Of course, his wife is hateful, but what is even more hateful is this hapless mother and son!

Someone close to me was infected with smallpox, but he didn't know to report it in time. Isn't this a big death.Now it is even worse that he has to get a little bit of it, who knows if it will be unlucky to get it.He had heard about it, and it might be possible for a young person to be cured if he contracted smallpox, but if an older person were infected, most of them would die.He, Zhou Rui, is in his forties now, how can he afford it.

The few imperial doctors thought that they were used to seeing the affairs of the family's inner house, or they were preoccupied by smallpox and didn't care about other things, they all acted as if they hadn't noticed this situation.One of them asked where the patient was, and carefully checked his attire. After making sure that everything was wrapped tightly, he went into the ear room to check Xiao Que's pulse.

The other two imperial physicians gave Zhou Rui a wink, and signaled him to lift up the two people on the ground so that they could check.These two are said to be in contact with patients all day long, so the chance of infection is very high. If you can avoid touching them, it is better not to touch them.

Jia Xiaohuan was so tightly hugged by Aunt Zhao that she couldn't get away, so she lay in her arms and gently stroked her mother's back, trying to make her relax first.Now things are going very smoothly, but he has already begun to regret it in his heart.Mother was frightened like this because she was worried about his safety.

Zhou Rui didn't want to touch the mother and the child, but unfortunately even if he was the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, he was just a slave.Since the imperial physician above was appointed, he never dared to be negligent, so he had to suppress the disgust and timidity in his heart, moved a step forward, and said loudly: "Aunt Zhao, why don't you hurry up and see the imperial physicians? My wife specially invited me here."

"Emperor, imperial doctor!" Aunt Zhao was holding her son in a daze, but she was startled by Zhou Rui's voice.In fact, she didn't hear the other words, only the word 'Emperor Doctor', as if it was deafening, made her suddenly come back to her senses, and looked at the two people in official robes.

So, before Jia Xiaohuan could react, his mother knelt down on the ground, and her mother's pleading voice sounded beside her ear, "My lord, please show me, he's just so little." Big, you can't get the smallpox that kills thousands of swords..." Accompanied by this pleading, was the heavy kowtow.

Jia Xiaohuan really wanted to stop his mother, but Aunt Zhao's strength was really strong, even after practicing kung fu for a month, it was still difficult for him to move.Fortunately, the two imperial physicians came here to check the pulse, and they didn't want to delay in this small courtyard, so Aunt Zhao agreed without asking too much, and they immediately checked Jia Xiaohuan's pulse.

The two imperial physicians checked Jia Xiaohuan's pulse respectively, and then carefully checked his neck, arms, etc., and asked Aunt Zhao to check the pulse, and then they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.The good news is that neither of them showed signs of smallpox.

However, one should not be too careless, after all, after smallpox is infected, there will be an incubation period of about ten days before the outbreak occurs.Before the attack, even if it is infected, it is not easy to diagnose.

At this moment, the imperial physician who went to give Xiao Que a pulse came out with a serious expression on his face, which surprised everyone in the hospital.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Li, come over and have a look."

The imperial doctor called the two colleagues over, and the three gathered together and whispered.Although their voices were low, Jia Xiaohuan had sharp ears and eyes, so she still got a general idea.But it turned out that the imperial doctor could not confirm whether Xiao Que was infected with smallpox after taking the pulse of Xiao Que and examining it.This made him very puzzled, and he needed a consultation with his colleagues.

Jia Xiaohuan lay in the arms of Aunt Zhao who was weeping with joy, and twitched the corners of her mouth unknowingly.Although there are imperial doctors who are dawdling in the imperial hospital, he doesn't believe that they can't even tell the difference between smallpox and cowpox, so before infecting the little magpie, they tampered with the cowpox, in order to let these imperial doctors Plausible, not easy to diagnose.

But Aunt Zhao didn't care about these things, after making sure that their mother and child hadn't contracted smallpox, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart that was hanging on her forehead was put back to its original place.After holding his son and crying bitterly for a while, venting out the fear and joy in his heart, he just regained his mind.

She picked up her son again, rushed to Zhou Rui, rolled around, and tried to leave the yard.Although he hasn't contracted smallpox yet, if he stays any longer, who can guarantee that he won't contract it.She must take her son out today!

But Zhou Rui didn't let them out so easily.For one thing, Zhou Rui was deeply angry at his misfortune, and if he couldn't target the person who gave the order, he could only vent his anger on others.Now that he hasn't been able to leave the yard, how can he take advantage of the mother and son who are being angered by him.Second, how to deal with the people in the yard is not something that a young housekeeper can decide, it has to be done by Rongxitang and Rongqingtang.

In the Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang had her pulse checked by the imperial physician, who confirmed that she was not infected with smallpox, and heard the rumor from the Rongqing Hall that Jia Baoyu was not infected, so she felt relieved.After she stopped worrying about her health, her heart was full of anger, especially hating Mother Jia for not allowing her to go to Rongqingtang.But she and Zhou Rui share the same disease, and she has nothing to do with the ancestor in Rongqing Hall, so she has no choice but to vent her anger along with her.

After all, what kind of slaves there are... Uh, no, what kind of masters should be, and what kind of slaves should be trained!

Although she can't go to Rongqing Hall right now, it's still okay to inquire about the news inside, or send a message inside.then……

In Jiamu's upper room, there are not so many maids and wives. Except Jiamu, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng's sister-in-law, there are only her personal maids standing beside her.However, all three of them had gloomy faces, as if they were all infected with smallpox.

Just now, Imperial Physician Wang checked the pulses of the masters of Rongqing Hall one by one, but none of them found any symptoms of smallpox infection.When he was about to go to the small courtyard, he was stopped by a timid little maid, crying and begging him for a pulse diagnosis.It was also at that time that the masters of the room in Rongqing Hall realized how capable the maid named Xiao Que was. She almost ran all over the Rongguo Mansion.

Because of this, Jia's mother was furious, even disregarding the kindness and kindness she had maintained for nearly 20 years, and ordered those maids who loved to play with the little magpies to be arrested one by one in the firewood room and locked up, waiting for things to happen. After that, deal with it.Even among the eight maidservants around her, there are two who love to be flattered.As for what they ended up with in the end, I don't think it will be good.

When Doctor Wang returned to the upper room again, Mother Jia ignored him, stared at him eagerly, and asked anxiously, "How, are you sure if you are happy?" She had symptoms, which made Jia's mother hopeful. Maybe the doctor before was a quack doctor and misdiagnosed her.

After all, if someone in Rongguo Mansion was diagnosed with smallpox, it would be no small matter.Even if only one person in the entire family was infected, her huge Rongguo Mansion would have to be quarantined.Maybe even the Ningguo Mansion next door, or even the entire Rongning Street will be affected.At that time, aside from other things, wouldn't it be delaying Zheng'er's business.

Her question made Imperial Physician Wang a little embarrassed.After all, he also went to see the patient just now, and several of their imperial physicians also examined it, but they still couldn't confirm whether it was smallpox or not.

The sick girl had a high fever, red rashes on her body, sore limbs and other symptoms, all symptoms of smallpox.However, judging from the pulse condition, they, the imperial physicians, were uncertain.Some thought it could be diagnosed, while others said they needed to have another look. After all, smallpox is not a trivial matter, and it should be done with caution.

But in fact, according to Dr. Wang, such symptoms are already obvious. Even if the diagnosis cannot be confirmed, they should be treated as smallpox.It's still the same sentence, after all smallpox is not a trivial matter, it should be solemn and foolproof.Otherwise, if something happens, none of them can afford it.

"Old madam, it is basically confirmed." Doctor Wang only briefly mentioned the condition, and then said: "I will report it to the lower officials. After all, this disease is extremely contagious, so it cannot be ignored at all. In addition, your government should also It is best to isolate the infected person and those who have close contact with her as soon as possible, so as to prevent the disease from spreading and causing a major epidemic. As for how to deal with it later, you should listen to the orders from above."

Although Jia's mother was a little older, her mind was very clear, and she immediately heard Wang Taiyi's cryptic words.What is basically confirmed, that is, not yet confirmed.However, she didn't intend to make any further distinctions with Doctor Wang, she just gave a wink and ordered the two granddaughters-in-law to avoid it.

"Doctor Wang, the old man will send all the people in the courtyard and the whole family who had contact with the servant to the remote Zhuangzi outside the city. Doesn't this matter need to be so serious? After all, you have just had your pulse checked, and no one in this old man's house is infected with that thing. What do you think?" While speaking, Mother Jia looked at Imperial Physician Wang with burning eyes.
