Nalan Mingzhu's complexion was not good-looking, Yinzuo comforted him and said, "Your Majesty Nalan, don't worry too much, pink eye disease is indeed ugly, but as long as you cooperate with the treatment, generally you won't go blind."

Nalan Pearl: "... blind?"

Yinzuo nodded earnestly: "Pink eye disease is prone to complications if it is not cured for a long time, and there will be a risk of blindness at that time, but don't worry, as long as you cooperate with the treatment, keep calm, and don't get angry, usually it will improve after a few days of medication."

Nalan Mingzhu who just got angry: "..."

Don't worry anymore, okay?

After "comforting" Nalan Mingzhu, Yin Zuo swept his eyes and wrists, but he still didn't dare to touch his pulse directly, thought for a while and said: "I'll go get something."

As he said that, he turned and walked to his own palace, Nalan Mingzhu stepped up to follow, Yin Zuo hesitated for a moment, and declined politely: "Master Nalan, please stay here for a while, I am afraid that the pink eye disease is contagious."

Nalan Pearl: "..."

Nalan Mingzhu really wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave, but he was really afraid of going blind, Yinzuo's medical skills were trustworthy, apart from anything else.

He could only wait for Yinzuo on the spot, and after a while Yinzuo came back with the medicine box, took out a porcelain bottle and opened it, and the pungent smell rushed out.

The elder brother sniffed: "It smells like wine!"

"It's not wine, it's alcohol, for disinfection." Yinzuo said to Nalan Mingzhu, "reach out."

Nalan Mingzhu only felt that the word "disinfection" was particularly harsh, as if he was poisoned, but under Yin Zuo's gaze, he could only stretch out his hand.Yinzuo soaked the handkerchief with alcohol and wiped it on Nalan Mingzhu's hand, heaved a long sigh of relief: "Okay, now you can feel the pulse."

Nalan Pearl: "..."

Yinzuo took Nalan Mingzhu's pulse: "It's not serious, I'll give you a prescription, take it for a few days and see."

He took out a pen and paper from the box, and used the medicine box as a desk pad to write the prescription. When the elder brother saw the last "five bottles of alcohol" in the prescription, he wondered, "Do you still need to prescribe alcohol?"

"Yes, pink eye disease is highly contagious. It's best not to have direct or indirect contact with other people, so as not to infect others. Then it will be difficult to control human-to-human transmission. In fact, it is best to isolate Master Nalan alone, but Nalan I don’t know if I can do it, so I’ll prescribe a few bottles of alcohol for you first, and in the future, if someone else touches something you’ve touched, wipe it with alcohol to avoid infection to the greatest extent.”

Yinzuo also told him to eat a light diet and pay attention to personal hygiene, etc. In the end, Nalan Mingzhu left with a dark face.

Yin Zuo sighed: "I said to keep calm, how can I get angry so easily?"

Big brother: "..."

The elder brother smiled and glanced at him: "What are you mad at him for?"

Yin Zuo looked confused and innocent: "Brother, what are you talking about? Why am I angry with him? What I said is the truth. Is Master Nalan angry at me? Why? I am obviously kind enough to treat him , I’m really kind enough to treat him like a donkey’s liver and lungs!”

The elder brother tapped his head lightly with his fingers: "Okay, if you say it's not, then it's not."

Yinzuo chuckled, and suddenly remembered something, his face froze: "Brother, your hands haven't been disinfected yet, have you? Have you had physical contact with Nalan Mingzhu?"

Big brother: "!!!"

According to elder brother's recollection, Nalan Mingzhu also came to him a few days ago, so Yinzuo gave him a few more bottles of alcohol, and in the next few days, the smell of alcohol was wafting in Gandongtou.

Yinzuo told Kangxi that Nalan Mingzhu had pink eye disease.

The disease is highly contagious, one person is infected and the whole family is infected. Although the symptoms are not serious, if a large-scale outbreak occurs, it will cause a lot of trouble to the palace and outside the palace.They had to investigate and treat in advance. Yinzuo and the imperial physicians took the students from the teaching hall and the military medical academy to conduct investigations on everyone in the palace. Anyone who was found to have pink eye disease would be quarantined and put back after being cured. Dozens of cases were really found, but fortunately they were discovered early and the scope of infection was not large.

However, Yinzuo later heard that Nalan Mingzhu had been quarantined. Without him, Suo'etu confronted Suo'etu, and the court stopped for a while.

Busy days always go by very fast, and when Yinzuo finally relaxes, it is already the middle of May.

This afternoon, Yinzuo and the fourth elder brother went to the Yonghe Palace to pay their respects. They walked in the shadow of the wall, but they still felt hot.

Yin Zuo looked towards the sky, it was getting late, the sun was still so strong, it was not like the sky in May at all, it seemed that it had already entered the dog days.

"What's going on this year, it's hot so early?" Yin Zuo complained.

"I don't know what Qin Tianjian is talking about," the fourth elder brother frowned, "It's just hot, it hasn't rained for more than ten days, if it doesn't rain, I'm afraid there will be disasters this year."

Yinzuo is silent, it's not impossible.May is the time for wheat filling. If there is enough rain, it will be fine. Even if the people are tired, they have some hope. If there is no rain, the wheat will not be filled, and the harvest will be affected.

"Fortunately, golden potatoes are planted everywhere now, so it won't be too tragic." Yinzuo said.

The golden potato has low requirements on the growing environment, and the other crops cannot grow, but the golden potato may still be harvested, and it is unlikely that there will be no harvest.

The fourth elder brother nodded worriedly: "Forget it, Khan Ama and the prince are always worried."

They haven't entered the dynasty yet, so they can't control that much.

The two of them went to Yonghe Palace to pay respects to Concubine De, and now the fourth elder brother came more often, and became much closer to Concubine De, not as restrained as before.Concubine De prepared tea and snacks for them, but the weather was so hot that no one had any appetite, so they only drank some herbal tea.

After the mother and son said a few words, Concubine De took them to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

The five princesses born out of Concubine De were raised under the empress dowager's knees, so she often went to Ningshou Palace to talk with the empress dowager, and the empress dowager was also willing to show her face, and she rarely refused to meet her.

It was the same this time, Concubine De went to Ningshou Palace to ask for an interview, and was invited in soon after the announcement, Yin Zuo and Fourth Elder Brother followed in, and sure enough, the Fifth Princess was already there.

Yinzuo greeted the queen mother, and quietly sat beside the fifth princess to talk to her.

It is not a bad thing for the fifth princess to be raised under the empress dowager's lap, but as a mother, Concubine De must miss her daughter.But she is inconvenient and can't ask too much about the fifth princess, otherwise she seems worried about the queen mother. If others know about it, the queen mother will feel uncomfortable, and it will be even worse for the fifth princess.

On the contrary, Yinzuo is the elder brother. When he met the fifth princess and asked her about her diet and daily life, others only said that he loved his sister.It is also possible to tell Concubine De later and talk to comfort her missing daughter.

This time Yinzuo asked about the fifth princess's daily life as usual, and the fifth princess smiled and said: "Mama loves the younger generation, and always clings to me first, and there is nothing wrong with it."

This Yin Zuo believed that their mama had always been a good-natured person, and she was the most indifferent and honest person, just look at the fifth elder brother and fifth princess she taught.The fifth princess has never been wronged in the past.

It's just that the fifth princess' complexion is not good today, her eyes are a little black, she seems to have not had a good night's rest.

After Yinzuo asked, the fifth princess hesitated and said, "I have been afraid of heat since I was a child. The weather is hot these days, so I can't sleep at night."

Yinzuo saw that her face and lips were indeed pale, and she felt the pulse was weak, and she had faint signs of heat stroke.

Yin Zuo frowned: "Didn't you ask someone to play the fan? Don't talk about extravagance now, it's not possible to be unable to sleep all night like this."

"I fanned it, but it was useless," the fifth princess said in a low voice, "Sixth brother, don't worry, after half a month, it will be fine when the ice comes down."

Yin Zuo sighed: "You are about to suffer from heatstroke now, how can you survive for half a month? Why don't you tell Khan Ama to turn on the ice in advance to use it."

"No! How can the ancestors' rules be lightly discarded? It would be bad if it provokes the opinions of all officials. Besides, it doesn't matter to others, but I want ice. If people know, I won't talk about it. That's all, I'll just bear it."

"People are different. You were born intolerable to heat. Could it be your fault?" Yinzuo frowned, "You're only afraid to bother Mama and Han Ama, and you don't think about how much they should worry if they are sick. !"

The fifth princess smiled calmly: "Then please ask Brother Six to prescribe some medicine for me, so don't make me sick."

Yinzuo: "Do you think that the sixth brother is a god, and you can do whatever you want?"

The fifth princess smiled and asked: "Then can the sixth brother do it?"

"Yes, it is possible," Yinzuo looked at her helplessly, "it's just that it's not a long-term solution, it's better to have ice."

He propped his head and thought for a while: "...Since you don't want to work hard for Ama Khan and Mamo, then we can just make ice ourselves."

It happened that the fifth elder brother passed by him, and he was very surprised when he heard Yinzuo's words: "You can also make ice?"

He has always had a loud voice, but this sentence did not hold back at all, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Yinzuo: "..."

The queen mother became interested: "Isn't ice stored in winter, and ice can be made in this hot day?"

"Grandson is just hearsay," Yinzuo explained to the queen mother with a smile, "There is a medicinal material called saltpeter, which will lower the temperature of water and freeze when dissolved in water. Suner heard that this method was used to make cold drinks in the Tang and Song Dynasties. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I just talked about it with Fifth Sister, thinking that we’ll try to play with it ourselves, if it becomes a ice guide for Mama, it can be regarded as a kindness from our grandson and Fifth Sister.”

Bingjian is similar to a refrigerator. Ice is placed in a container and food is placed in it to keep the food cool and fresh. It is cold and delicious in summer.

The Empress Dowager grew up in the grasslands, she couldn't speak Chinese, she hadn't read many books, and she had never heard of the so-called method of making ice with saltpeter, but she was very interested in what Yin Zuo said: " You just go and play, tell people what you want, the Ai family also wants to see if ice can be made in this summer."

"Mama, let's just watch!" Yinzuo smiled and resigned, and the fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother and fifth princess also followed him.

The fifth elder brother rubbed his stomach and asked Yin Zuo: "Can you really make ice?"

"In theory, it is possible, but I don't know if it will be successful." Yinzuo said.

The fifth elder brother sighed: "I hope it will come true. The weather is too hot these days, and I don't even have an appetite."

"..." Yin Zuo was annoyed, "So you only ate two plates of snacks, two bowls of cheese, one cup of milk tea and one plate of beef jerky?"

Fifth elder brother: "..."

Everyone burst out laughing, the fifth elder brother blushed, and argued: "I really don't eat much, you can see that I've lost weight!"

Everyone looked at his slightly protruding belly and remained silent.

In the midst of talking and laughing, the fifth princess tugged Yinzuo's sleeve lightly, frowned and said, "Brother Six has already boasted in front of Mama, what should I do if it doesn't work?"

"If you don't make it, what's the matter?" Yin Zuo looked at her worried face and said helplessly, "Why are you so cautious at such a young age? The Queen Mother is our mama, who loves us the most, even if it doesn't work, she won't." How, what are you so nervous about?"

The fifth princess froze for a moment, grabbed the handkerchief and stopped talking.

Yin Zuo teased her: "Brother Liu teaches you, if you fail, you can fake cry with Mama with your handkerchief, maybe she will coax you to reward you, as long as you get half of the reward points, Brother Six will be fine! "

Fifth Princess: "..."

The fifth princess didn't bother to talk to him.

Everyone found a cool and ventilated gazebo to sit down, and Yinzuo didn't need any complicated things, only two basins, one big and one small, were filled with water, and the small basin was boiled spring water. Put the small pot into the big pot, then put the saltpeter just brought from the imperial pharmacy into the big pot and stir evenly.

Everyone looked at it helplessly for a while: "... nothing has changed."

"Why hasn't it changed? Feel it, has the water cooled?" Yinzuo said.

The fifth elder brother touched it immediately: "It's true!"

Yinzuo explained: "That's it. The dissolution of saltpeter will absorb the heat in the water, so the water temperature will become lower. When the temperature drops to a certain level, it will naturally freeze when it is as low as winter. Let's wait a little longer." Bar."

Everyone half understands, but whether they can do it will be clear after a while, so they sit down and talk patiently. The fifth brother said while eating snacks: "Sixth brother knows a lot!"

Yin Zuo said modestly: "It's average, the Qing Dynasty is the third."

Everyone: "..."

The fourth elder brother was surprised: "Who are the first and the second?"

Yinzuo was more surprised than him: "I'm just talking nonsense for rhyme, why do you take it seriously again, fourth brother?"

Fourth elder brother: "..."

The fourth elder brother gave Yin Zuo a hard look, turned his head and stopped talking to him.

Yinzuo: Hehe, the fourth brother who loves to be true is really fun!

After everyone talked for a while, the fifth princess gradually felt less uncomfortable. She was always sensitive to temperature, so she hesitated and said, "It seems that it's not as hot as before."

The fifth elder brother subconsciously looked towards the sky: "The sun hasn't set yet, it's still so big."

"It's not cold, it's ice cold," the fourth elder brother pointed to the basin next to him. There were already a lot of ice cubes in the small basin, and the cool air came out gradually, refreshing the whole gazebo.

Everyone was surprised: "Can it really make ice?"

But after all, it was just crushed ice. After everyone waited for a while, the ice cubes were bigger, but there was still some water.

The fifth elder brother scratched his head: "Is this a success or a failure?"

"Of course it is," said the fourth elder brother calmly, "I think there is not enough saltpeter, so it cannot be completely frozen, just add more saltpeter."

Yinzuo nodded: "fourth brother is right." Then he asked someone to bring the saltpeter again.

The fifth elder brother rolled his eyes and told the little eunuch: "Bring more!"

He smiled naively at the puzzled crowd: "I see that there is a lot of ice here, let's make an ice bowl and eat it first."

He couldn't wait.

Everyone: "..." As expected of you!

Brother Fifth asked someone to take the ice to the small kitchen, and the palace servant came back with an ice bowl after a while.The royal chef shaved the ice into sand, mixed it with milk and rose dew, spread thick cream and syrup on top, and supplemented with fruit pieces, it was appetizing and refreshing.

The Empress Dowager and Concubine De have already delivered it, so everyone began to taste it with confidence. This ice bowl looks good, and it's also delicious to eat. It's sweet and refreshing. Taking a bite on this hot day makes you feel refreshed from the inside out.

After taking a bite, several people in the pavilion let out a sigh of relief.Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the fifth princess's complexion, which had turned pale from the heat, also improved a lot.

A bowl of ice bowl was finished in a short while, and the fifth elder brother was still a little unsatisfied, and urged Yin Zuo to make more ice.

The saltpeter has been brought back, and Yinzuo was about to start, the queen mother came over with concubine De and many palace people, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be done, I heard that you still have to make ice, Aijia and Concubine De came over to see It's a novelty, Aijia has never seen such a novelty."

Yinzuo smiled and said, "Why don't Mama try it by herself?"

The queen mother was surprised: "Can you?"

Of course you can, nothing complicated.Yinzuo gave some guidance, and the queen mother made a basin of ice with her own hands.

The Empress Dowager touched the basin of ice with wonder, and said with a smile: "Half of it will be given to the emperor and the prince, and the rest will be distributed to these little ones!"

Yinzuo and the others thanked, and the fifth princess said softly, "Let's also make some ice for Mama and Ama Erniang."

Everyone agreed, so they made a lot of ice that day, except for sending to the palaces, the five princesses shared enough for her to use for two days.

Yinzuo gave her the rest of the saltpeter again: "Just now you have tried it yourself, and you know how to make ice. If you feel hot in the future, you can make it yourself. You can ask someone to go to the imperial pharmacy to get the saltpeter. Send me a message to make ice." You can also bring it to you. If you still think it’s troublesome, just put the big basin of water in the sun to expose it to the sun, and the saltpeter will be re-precipitated when the water dries up, and it can be reused.”

He also gave her the prescription for relieving heatstroke: "You eat it first, and then I will think of a way to develop some medicines for relieving heatstroke. At any rate, you can eat it as soon as you take it, lest you suffer more for nothing and drink this hot and bitter concoction." son."

The five princesses thanked each other with blessings.

Yin Zuo quickly helped her up, and said with a smile: "You are fine everywhere, but you are too formal. I am the elder brother of your mother and compatriots, and Khan Ama is also your biological father. We should take care of you. Why bother?" Always be so careful."

The fifth princess nodded slightly, her eyes were reddened.

……

Everyone in Ningshou Palace had fun, but the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was extremely depressing.

This year's weather is abnormal, and there are already signs of drought in Shaanxi. After several discussions between the court and the central government, they can't come up with a good solution.

The matter was discussed again today, but there was still no progress. Kangxi was so angry that he lost his temper. All the ministers in the meeting trembled and dared not say a word.

At this time, a little eunuch came in from outside with a food box, bowing his head tremblingly: "Your Majesty..."

"Say something quickly!" Kangxi said coldly, "Who brought the things here again?"

He thought it was another concubine who washed her hands and made soup, but now he has no appetite at all, and he doesn't feel happy at all. He just thinks that the person who delivered the things was so ungrateful, and when he was about to let someone lift the things down, the little eunuch trembled Said: "It was sent by the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the sixth elder brother and the fifth princess."

Kangxi: "...?"

It's rare for children to give him something, but what does it mean for several people to send it together.

He paused: "What?"

"It's an ice bowl," the little eunuch took a few steps forward and opened the lid of the food box, revealing the slightly melted ice bowl inside, with a cool breath blowing over his face, Kangxi only felt that the dryness and heat had disappeared a lot.

The little eunuch said: "It is said that several young masters learned the method of making ice from ancient books. They made ice by themselves and made ice bowls. Please have a taste. They also sent many ice cubes. I heard that there are ice made by the queen mother herself." Well, do you think it will be useful?"

Kangxi was served to take a bite of the ice bowl, and his face was relieved: "I remember the method of 'making ice in Xia' is recorded in "Huainan Wanbishu": take boiling soup and put it in an urn, and use new rice balls for dense, and it will be completed in three days. Bing. I don’t seem to have heard that Xiaosi and Xiaoliu went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager three days ago.”

The little eunuch bowed his waist and said: "It turned out to be another method found by the sixth elder brother. I heard that you can get it in two quarters of an hour by putting saltpeter in water."

Kangxi nodded: "I knew it was his idea."

He looked at the sweat on the foreheads of all the ministers, waved his hand and said: "Since I have sent you ice, let's use it, and let you Aiqing cool down."

All the ministers thanked him again and again, and couldn't help showing gratitude on their faces.

Is really grateful!I am grateful to the Empress Dowager and the princes and daughters for saving the siege, the emperor's appearance just now is really terrible, if there is no interruption, I don't know how much he will lose his temper.

Fortunately, there was an interruption, and Kangxi felt a little more comfortable. After that, he calmed down, and the discussion went much smoother.

……

At Gandongtou, the elder brother also received the ice sent by Yinzuo. He looked at the white ice and snorted softly: "So he still remembers me as an elder brother?"

Da Fujin rolled his eyes at him: "Sixth brother has such a good temper, if you didn't give him a good face when you meet again, would he be able to avoid you?"

Big Brother: "Who told him to always be lazy in training!"

Da Fujin: "I was just about to say, you gave him too much training, I was afraid he would get hurt."

Big brother: "He is a doctor, can he hurt himself?"

Da Fujin spread his hands: "It's not like he started avoiding you in order not to hurt himself."

Big brother: "..."

"You just favor him, you are closer to him than to me!" The elder brother made troubles unreasonably, causing Da Fujin to roll his eyes.

Eldest Brother asked someone to put an ice basin and brought it up. Thinking that Da Fujin was always talking about the heat recently, he asked someone to make an ice bowl. Da Fujin ate it with a smile. Unexpectedly, after taking a few mouthfuls, his face changed and he pushed it away. The ice bowl retched.

The elder brother's face changed: "What's the matter, did you catch a cold after taking a few bites?"

Then he asked someone to invite Yinzuo.

The two live really close, Da Fujin has not slowed down this wave, Yinzuo has already rushed over, Da Fujin smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, please trouble the sixth brother."

Yinzuo waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, you're being polite. I heard that you started to feel uncomfortable after eating an ice bowl? It's my fault."

"You were kind, how could it be your fault?"

Yin Zuo didn't say much, he got Da Fujin's pulse, and his slightly apologetic expression suddenly changed.

The elder brother asked anxiously, "How?"

Yin Zuo: "... Congratulations, you are more than one month pregnant!"
