Mu Huagui

Chapter 39 The Plague
It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.Chen Jiao'er knew early on that these rough envoys were the best at inquiring gossip, and if something happened to someone's family, they would wish their eyes would shine and they would slap their mouths to death.

That's why they sent Yingying to listen to their chats from time to time. Since she is in charge of Zhou's mother now, Yingying is her personal servant girl. If they show interest in something, they have to tell everything.

What's more, chatting doesn't cost money, so it's no wonder they don't know how to do this kind of favor.Cherry is also smart, except for Li Dafeng, who asked about the names of his son's and daughter-in-law's errands one by one. Li Dafeng's son Li Lu is in charge of grooming horses in the stable, and his daughter-in-law Chunhua does laundry in the laundry room.

Just think of a way to meet this Li Dafeng, but it's difficult for a lady from the inner house to meet a porter in the outer courtyard.And in what capacity to meet, how can he tell what happened back then.

In the end, the new regulations settled down steadily, and many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who did heavy work got high wages, and they were grateful to Chen Jiaoer.As for those who received less wages, it was inevitable to stab a few words in the back, but Zhou's mother just let it go, and went to her to change first-class jobs if she thought it was too little, and there were more things to do.As a result, those who think that the wages are low also shut up.

On this day, Chen Jiao'er took Cherry to patrol around habitually. During this period of time, everyone was used to Miss Biao's behavior and didn't take it seriously.

When they got to the laundry room, there was a lot of people's voices inside. Before the two left, they saw a group of people gathered together, some shouting to carry people, and some shouting to invite Zhou's mother.

It was the steward of the laundry workshop who saw Cherry and Chen Jiao'er standing behind him, and then loudly suppressed the noise of the crowd.She went forward and reported, "Miss Jiao'er, it was Chunhua who had an emergency and fainted, and she is sending someone to ask Mother Zhou to make the decision."

"If you're sick, you should bring him home first. What can you do with Zhou's mother?" Cherry wondered, there were so many people in the house, and no one had a headache that day, so it would be okay if they all went to ask the steward.

"This..." The steward hesitated to speak, and was so anxious that his brow was sweating, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou's mother had entered the courtyard gate, and shouted, "Boss Zhou...look..."

Mother Zhou went to Chen Jiao'er first, blessed her body and saluted, then went to see Chun Hua who was unconscious, and then said to Chen Jiao'er, "Miss Jiao'er, Chun Hua may not be suffering from an ordinary disease."

"Oh..." Chen Jiao'er followed Zhou's mother's eyes, and walked to the side, and the steward of the laundry room also dismissed the onlookers.

"It's like this... There is a son in Chunhua's family. Two days ago, he suddenly developed an emergency. He had a fever and was talking nonsense. He didn't expect a doctor to come. It's only two days since Chunhua fell ill..." Zhou's mother was embarrassed He glanced at Chen Jiao'er.

"Mom is suspicious, it's the plague..." Chen Jiao'er opened her eyes wide.

"Not necessarily, but after all, both of them had the same emergency, so..." Mother Zhou was also sweating. If it's true, then...

"It's no wonder that Zhou's mother has been in charge of the handyman for so many years, and she has never made a mistake. She is indeed as careful as a hair. However, I was sick. I saw a neighbor post it when I was young. The consequences should not be serious." Chen Jiao'er can't let Zhou's mother report this matter to the public. , things are out of control, and I don't know what will happen.

"It's true." Zhou's mother naturally didn't want the matter to be so serious, seeing Chen Jiao'er's confident appearance, she was overjoyed.

"Why don't you take me to Chunhua to see if it's really the same as the one I've seen."

Chunhua has been carried to a separate room, her cheeks are flushed, her lips are blue, and she is talking nonsense, at first glance, she looks like a fever.

But every fever has a process. There is no such thing as a sudden collapse of a person who is well and straight, and then begins to pass out and talk nonsense.Chen Jiao'er stepped forward, observed carefully, then turned around and said, "Cherry, go to the kitchen to scrape some ash from the bottom of the pot, flush the water and bring it to her to pour it down."

"Wake up, wake up, really wake up." A woman pried Chun Hua's mouth, and poured the bowl of black ash soaked in water into it.After watching for a while, Chunhua woke up slowly. Although her whole body was hot, she stopped talking nonsense.

His eyes gradually cleared up, he held the old woman's hand and asked, "I, what's wrong with me."

When the mother-in-law told her what happened one by one, Chunhua immediately became excited, struggled to get up, knelt down in front of Chen Jiao'er, and said, "Miss Jiao'er, you have a bodhisattva heart, save Xiang'er from the servant's family. Please, Please..."

Since Xiang'er became ill, the family invited doctors several times, but none of them could see what the disease was, and most of them asked them to hire another doctor without leaving a prescription.Most of the prescriptions left were antipyretic prescriptions, and even after drinking for a few days, they had no effect at all.

Chen Jiao'er hurriedly asked the mother-in-law to help Chunhua up, and said gently, "I've only seen such cases before, and I'm just following the example. You should go home and try it. If... well, if it doesn't work, then think of other ways."

After Chunhua got the prescription, she was a little confused, and couldn't believe that such a simple prescription could cure the disease, but the facts were in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but not believe it.Thanks a lot, he asked for leave, and was going to give Xiang'er a drink right away when he went back.

On the way back, Cherry hesitated to speak several times, then held back by herself.Seeing that Chen Jiao'er couldn't stop laughing, she smiled and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, just ask, why bother to put on such a naive look."

Cherry giggled and said, "I really can't hide anything from Miss. Why are you so concerned about Lin Da's affairs? Although Miss Chen's family died tragically, ten years have passed, and it has nothing to do with us. Yes, there is nothing the doctor can do about Chunhua's disease, how did you cure it." The so-called neighbor, Cherry, who has been serving the young lady since she was a child, naturally knows that it is a non-existent thing.

Chen Jiao'er repeated what she said to Mother Su at Wuhua Temple before, and said to Cherry again, "Although mother has already done the ritual ceremony for her, if you just let go of what you promised, I don't know what will happen in the future. .At least, let’s find out the whole story first, and then talk about it. As for the illness, the folk remedies I learned in the book were used conveniently, and somehow it worked.”

Cherry is illiterate, has an instinctive awe of books, and does not suspect him. As for dreaming about ghosts and gods, Cherry is much calmer than Su's mother.Instead, he denounced Lin Da with righteous indignation, "Such a person should be reported to the government, and his body should be divided into five horses."

"In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no longer five horses to divide the body, only beheading and hanging." Chen Jiao'er laughed. The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also a horse emperor who killed and cut decisively. Taxes were reduced, otherwise the Great Zhou Dynasty would not recover so quickly after the war continued.

"The weather is so nice. The second lady took the fourth lady out again. We didn't know until we went out every time, and made it clear that I didn't want to take you with me." Cherry was a little depressed, the lady was already thirteen, although this There is no need to be too anxious about age, but it is always hidden at home. With a suitable family, no one will think of Miss.

However, Chen Jiao'er knew very well that Chen Qishan's marriage proposal had reached a critical moment, wouldn't it be more troublesome if she followed her out.Although my identity is very different from Chen Qishan, but a comparison of appearance will always cause people to gossip. If this makes the marriage go wrong, it will not be self-destruction of the Great Wall.

Once Chen Qishan and Najib pass by, with the personality of the second wife, she will definitely bring herself to the market to flaunt the benevolence and righteousness of the Chen family.

These are not her worries. She heard from Yingying that Chunhua's child followed her method and drank the water from the bottom of the pot, and she also came to her senses.It's just that, these days, I'm afraid I'm going to visit the door again.Looking at the fine weather outside, Chen Jiao'er also put down her book and prepared to bask in the sun in the yard.

After walking into the yard, I heard Cherry's consolation and a woman's mournful cry.Soon I saw Cherry leading Chunhua into the yard, Miss Wang was sitting under the tree, before Cherry opened her mouth, Chunhua knelt down and licked her head, saying, "Miss Biao, Miss Biao, I beg you, everyone says you are a Bodhisattva!" Heart, save this servant, Xiang'er from the servant's family..."

"What's wrong with Xiang'er..." Chen Jiao'er asked knowingly.

"Originally, according to your method that day, it was already cured, but... But yesterday, he suddenly passed out again, and then poured two big bowls, but it didn't work... Until now, he is still talking nonsense, and the doctors can't do anything about it. "Chunhua looked haggard, with snot and tears mixed together, how embarrassing she was.

Chen Jiao'er couldn't bear it, but let the children bear the adult's fault, but this is the only way she can think of, and now she can only harden her heart, "I can't help it, the situation at that time was the opposite. Repeatedly, but...but..." A look of embarrassment.

When Chunhua saw it, she nodded her head repeatedly, "The Numai family has no other choice but to count on you, no matter how difficult it is, for the sake of the three generations of the Numai family working as servants in the mansion, I beg you... "

"Since you insist on listening, then...follow me into the room." Hinting that Cherry stood guard outside the door, Chen Jiao'er entered the main room where guests were entertained, sat down and said, "You must want to know, I I can only talk about what happened at the neighbor’s house at that time, but I really don’t know if it’s right or not, so go back and think about it yourself.”

Chunhua knelt in front of the hall and said tremblingly, "Miss Cousin, no matter what, the whole family of slaves and servants will thank you for your great kindness."

"I also heard from my mother later that at the beginning, this family ran a very good business shop, and there was only one only child in the family. Suddenly, one day, he passed out suddenly. Their family invited the best of our local The doctor, who changed countless prescriptions, did not wake up the child, and was about to prepare for the funeral. One day, a monk who begged for alms came and said that his house was covered in dark clouds, and there were ghosts seeking his life."
