Chapter 2362 The sick student in the Imperial College
It had been quiet for only two days. When Jiacheng and Jiayun came back that day, they looked miserable.

After asking, I found out that he was a student from the Imperial College, and several of them had fallen ill these days.

Fu Ling asked: "But the weather is hot and young masters and ladies are delicate, so they get sick?"

Xin Rui: "It's also possible that I'm greedy for cold food and have a bad stomach."

Jiacheng said: "It's both. These days, there are a few stalls in front of the Imperial College, specializing in selling some iced juice. The weather is really hot, so a few students will send someone to buy some."

After hearing this, Rong Yi raised her head, frowned slightly, and said, "Although it's not easy to sell things at the stalls outside, you are children, so you should eat less of the food outside. Mother was not so expensive when she was young, and the road If you have eaten the food here, you will not get sick, but you are different. You have been raised like a noble person since you were a child, and the things you eat are only allowed to be eaten after you have tried them again and again."

Jiayun hurriedly explained: "Chengcheng and I didn't buy food outside. We have national water prepared at home and pastries to fill our stomachs when we are hungry. There is no need to buy outside."

Hearing this, Rong Yi felt relieved, took a long breath, looked at their wilted faces, and said: "Don't worry too much, you guys. After these children go back, someone will naturally treat them. If they have food, If something goes wrong, it's just a stomach upset at most, but as long as it's not poisoning, everything will be fine."

Jiacheng said: "Mom didn't see their appearance. She said she ate bad food. But when she got sick, she felt like she was going crazy and had convulsions. She said everything hurt, talked nonsense, and rolled her eyes. This afternoon, the master just came in. , one person suddenly fell down and kept twitching. I sat next to him and looked at him like that, and I was very scared."

Rong Yi said: "Don't be afraid, good boy. Some of the sick people are really scary when they get sick, but it's not what people want. It's just... the symptoms you mentioned are really strange. You can go to school tomorrow. When the time comes, pay more attention to those sick children and see if they are feeling better?"

Rong Yi explained calmly, appearing very calm about this matter. After dinner, she would go to the study to look at the accounts, some shops, farm operations, and farm management. During the day, something seemed wrong.

But before that, Rong Yi went to the kitchen. The cook was so frightened that she put down the bowl, quickly wiped her mouth and came to obey.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I came here tonight just to see what kind of food you are preparing for the two young masters tomorrow."

Now that the children have gone to the Imperial College, eating is not as convenient as at home. The Imperial College also has a canteen, but Rong Yi loves her children and usually has her own kitchen prepare the food and deliver it to them when the time comes.

The meals are prepared the night before and delivered directly the next day.

"Madam, please see, these are all fresh ingredients. I'm going to make fish breasts, shredded duck and cold eggplant for the young master tomorrow. I heard that the cold eggplant sent two days ago was very popular with the two masters, so I plan to make it tomorrow. Do it again."

The palace's golden branches and jade leaves should be considered easy to serve. When it comes to food, they don't make it difficult for the servants. They don't ask for eighteen dishes a day, and nothing is the same.

Rong Yi also feels that as long as children like it, it doesn't have to be new every day. Therefore, these many ingredients are affordable for ordinary people.

Rong Yi looked at the still fresh fish and various ingredients, and said: "You are all old cooks. You must be careful about what the children eat. The weather is hot, and although they like to eat cold dishes, You should also cook more hot food, as you are afraid that eating too much cold food will spoil your stomach."

The cooks hurriedly took note of it, and Rong Yi looked at it a few more times and added: "Today, the young master and the young lady came back and said that some students in the Imperial College have had bad stomachs these days, so I can't help but nag a little bit about the food. , please be considerate of me, the children are delicate and precious, and I can’t bear for them to eat badly and suffer.” The cook naturally responded: “My lady’s love for her children is known to all the slaves. I am in charge of my lady’s kitchen, The slaves are naturally very cautious and will never dare to do anything useless to fool the young masters."

Rong Yi nodded and said, "Maybe it will be better when the weather gets cooler. You guys can eat, I'll be back."

After explaining the kitchen, Rong Yi gave Fu Ling a few more instructions on the way back: "Tomorrow, take out the children's bedding and bedding to dry them, and wash the things they have used in the house. , dry it in the sun to remove the smell."

"Yes."

"They are young after all. I'm afraid they are inexperienced. You should also ask around. What have the children from sick homes these days eaten or done? We have to find out the external cause. They are outside. I feel a thousand thoughts. 1 I’m worried, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

"Don't worry, madam. From the time you go out in the morning to the time you come back in the evening, the two young masters are surrounded by people. They enter the Imperial College and are protected by royal guards. They are safe inside. You said before that you wanted my boy to be given to the eldest young master. As a companion, I thought about it. This is also feasible. If the slave's children can stay with the eldest master, they can watch and serve them no matter what happens. The young master and the young lady are busy with their studies, and it is difficult for them to remember trivial things. As a companion, You can remember it.”

Rong Yi turned back and glanced at her: "I asked your child to accompany them, not because they want him to serve others. First, having someone who knows everything about them makes me feel at ease. Second, we can learn together. If you are knowledgeable in literature and science, it is easy to establish friendship, and you will have many options to choose from in the future."

Hearing this, Fuling was extremely grateful and hurriedly said: "If you say this, then what else can you be dissatisfied with? I guarantee that once I go back and talk about this, the children in the family will be very happy."

While he was talking, he had already reached the study room. Rong Yi stopped talking and went in to take charge of the affairs.

……

She was looking at the account books for most of last night, and suddenly a few bad debts appeared. The accounts were not clear, and the flow of funds was not clear. She had a headache all night long.

I slept for a long time today. When I woke up, the children had already gone out. Rong Yi rubbed her forehead and sat in front of the window for a while. After she woke up completely, she called someone to come and dress up.

Breakfast was extremely simple, with one and a half steamed buns and one tea egg. I couldn't eat it after just two sips of water.

In such hot weather, I don’t have much appetite in the morning, so these light and simple morning meals are better.

After breakfast, Rong Yi called Shu Yong and asked him to send a few people to several shops in the west of the capital to take a look. The account books presented in recent days are really annoying.

Shu Yong worked very quickly and came back soon, saying: "The shopkeeper of the drug store in the west of the city said that there are more patients with strange diseases these days, and the medicinal materials they need are relatively expensive. Many people can't afford them at the moment, so they just We can only take it on credit first, so the account becomes a bit confusing."
