Chapter 164 Huai Ci's Identity
Fortunately, the pimples on Mai Xiang's arm did not spread, and within two days they began to grow into blisters. At this time, Huai Ci also had fever symptoms. Unlike Mai Xiang, he had a high fever.

This really frightened Mai Xiang, and she stayed at Huaici for two days in her clothes, until Huaici also developed pimples on her left arm, and the fever did not last.

Huai Ci, like Mai Xiang, had a few small chicken pox on the scratches on his left arm, and it didn't spread to any part of his body. Moreover, both of them had a short-term fever before the pimples appeared, and there was basically nothing after that. discomfort reaction.After living in the small courtyard for half a month, the scab on Huaici's left arm also fell off. Except for a small scar on the left arm, the two of them could hardly tell that they had had acne.

A month later, Mai Xiang and Huai Ci walked into the courtyard again. This time the real test came, because the two doctors were going to inoculate Mai Xiang and Huai Ci with human pox, and they had just taken it from the patient. For the pus that came down, at Mai Xiang's request, the acne patient was allowed to stay with Mai Xiang and Huai Ci for a few days.

This time, the two had no symptoms at all, and the two doctors recorded all this with trembling hands.

Half a month later, Mai Xiang and Huai Ci walked out of the small courtyard intact again.Yong En and Hong Rong came to pick up the person in person. Only then did Mai Xiang know that A Muxin was married, and she actually missed the wedding ceremony for her. Mai Xiang felt a little sorry.

Hong Rong watched Mai Xiang and Huai Ci both walk out, with complicated expressions on his face.Originally, he intended to keep Mai Xiang by his side, but Mai Xiang is still young, so he thought about it in a few years.

Who knew that a vaccination experiment would bring these two people together.Up to now, he still doesn't understand Yong En's intentions. After all, Mai Xiang is only 11 years old. Isn't this decision too hasty?

Of course, he didn't know that Huai Ci had saved Mai Xiang, Yong En just said vaguely that the two had known each other for a long time, and had always had a good relationship, Huai Ci agreed to vaccinate specially to accompany Mai Xiang.It's hard to meet a man who treats each other so wholeheartedly, since you do, don't miss it.

Hong Rong was quite disappointed when he heard this, but only for a while.

"Mai Xiang, what should my brother-in-law reward you?" Yong En asked with a smile when he saw Mai Xiang.He finally let go of this burden, and finally achieved a great event, the emperor is still waiting for him to report the result.

"Brother-in-law, let's not talk about rewards or not, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to promote this matter." Hong Rong poured cold water on Yong En.

The promotion and use of any new thing is not smooth sailing. After all, this is the first time that something is taken from a cow and planted on a human. Many people will misunderstand and think that people will become cows from then on. Otherwise, Yong En will not In order to find some experimental products, he entered the palace and begged the emperor.

Mai Xiang also saw a kind of fear from the maid who served her, so she understood what Hong Rong meant, but this was not something she could worry about.

"Brother-in-law, I have already made an agreement with the doctor. Tomorrow, I will bring all the people in my family who have not had acne to vaccinate. This time, I don't need to stay here." Mai Xiang said.There is only so much she can do.

"Mai Xiang, why are you so bold?" Hong Rong has always felt that this matter is a bit strange. Yong En has always been a person who doesn't like to ask about mundane affairs. Apart from liking calligraphy and painting and books, he rarely cares about other things. How did you know that cowpox can be planted in humans?Moreover, why is Mai Xiang taking the risk in this matter?

Hong Rong still had some understanding of Mai Xiang's cleverness. Thinking of Mai Xiang, Hong Rong flashed a thought, could it be Mai Xiang's idea?

Mai Xiang often has fantastic ideas.At least, he, the Lord Baylor, borrowed Mai Xiang's light, and not only that, he was able to marry Amusin, which was also inseparable from Mai Xiang's hints, so he wanted to repay Mai Xiang.And he thinks the best reward is to keep Mai Xiang by his side and give Mai Xiang a good life.

He thought this was the best, but he never thought that Mai Xiang would be unwilling.

The more Hong Rong thought about it, the more he felt that this idea came from Mai Xiang. Hong Rong was not stupid. The imperial physicians had all entered the Baylor Mansion, so Hong Rong said that his children would not be vaccinated. At that time, there was only one in Yong En’s Baylor Mansion. Mai Xiang is an outsider.

Hong Rong has a lot to ask Mai Xiang, but it's hard for him to ask at the moment.

"I'm not being bold, I just trust the elder brother-in-law. If the second brother-in-law wants to try something new next time, he can also ask Mai Xiang." Mai Xiang smiled.

"Second brother-in-law is still waiting for you to find something novel for second brother-in-law to try." Hong Rong made a pun.

"Okay, let's go home first, the two sisters are still waiting to wash you off." Yongen smoothed things over.

Mai Xiang glanced at Huai Ci, Huai Ci said: "I'm going home first, the shop has been closed for such a long time, if I don't go, people will think I've closed and ran away."

"Okay." Mai Xiang didn't force him.

"Let's go together, Mai Xiang's two sisters are still waiting to meet you." Yong En said.

"That's fine." Huai Ci didn't hold back, from what Mai Xiang said these days, he already knew how much the two sisters Mai Xiang cared for her.

As soon as the carriage entered the side gate, Uladomin and Amusin already knew the news, and stood at the second gate to greet them, especially Amusin, who wanted to rush over when he saw Mai Xiang.

"Stop, Second Sister, I'm still sweaty all over, let me wash up first."

"Okay, it's still that stinky look, which made me worry about you in vain."

Mai Xiang rolled her eyes and said, "What are you talking about? Could it be that Ge Gefei didn't worry in vain when he saw me being carried out?"

"Bah, childish talk, nonsense." Uladomin spit out hastily.

At this time, two little maids had already come forward and brought Mai Xiang into the clean room, and waited for Mai Xiang to take a comfortable bath.

Because Huai Ci was a foreigner, and Uradomin and Amusin wanted to see Huai Ci, so the reception banquet was arranged in the side hall of Baylor Mansion, and Yong En specially ordered that outsiders not be disturbed.

A Muxin once met Huaici in Liulichang, so after seeing Huaici, he exclaimed: "It's you? Aren't you the one who sells New Year pictures at Liulichang?"

She had a deep memory of Huai Ci's face, and she had teased Mai Xiang at that time.

"If you go back to Gege, it's Xiaomin."

"Setting up a stall? Selling New Year pictures?" Uladomin still doesn't quite know what Huai Ci does, which is why she is eager to see Huai Ci. For this reason, she complains a lot about Yong En, who just treats her sister so confusedly. Lost in.

"Back to Fujin, now I have rented a shop, selling books, and my sister's handiwork." Huai Ci said.

"Madam, don't be impatient. It's a good thing for young people to be aggressive. They can support themselves without relying on their parents. In time, they will definitely become famous and rich."

Yong En has been in contact with Huai Ci a few times, and he feels that although he is young, he is not impetuous, knows what he wants, and has a relatively firm will, while Mai Xiang is smart and he has learned it long ago. These two people are together , Is it not a matter of time before you want to succeed?
"Brother-in-law, you are also a young man, and you say that you are seventy or eighty years old." Seeing his old-fashioned tone, Mai Xiang couldn't help but make a joke.

"Me? I can't do it anymore. I don't have any big plans. From now on, it's up to the two of them." Yong En smiled and pointed to Hong Rong and Huai Ci.

"Brother, your contribution this time is not small, the emperor will not let you idle, but I, until now, still don't know what I should do?" Hong Rong said.

"You are only 16 years old, don't worry, just think about it slowly."

"Ah, the second brother-in-law is only 16 years old?" Only then did Mai Xiang know how early the ancients married early, and she was still a child, what would she do?
"That's right, listen to Mai Xiang, you are still so young, learn more from your father first, and it's not too late to figure out what you are suitable for, anyway, you now have a salary to support you." Yong En Persuade.

"By the way, speaking of the breadwinner, my young master, I want to know how your income is for a year? Who else is there in the family? What do your parents do?" Uladomin asked.

Just as Huai Ci was about to speak, Wan Yun came over and said that there were people from the palace outside who wanted to see Lord Belle.

Yongen patted himself on the head after hearing this, and said with a smile, "Damn it, you just thought about taking care of Mai Xiang, but you forgot that the palace is still waiting."

After Yong En went out, he came in after a while, and called out Mai Xiang and Huai Ci. It turned out that the father-in-law and imperial physician from the palace had come and wanted to see Mai Xiang and Huai Ci.

Huaici took off his coat and let the imperial physicians see the scar on his left arm, and the two answered some questions from the imperial physicians, such as how many days the chickenpox had been present, what symptoms did they have, whether they felt uncomfortable when it broke out, etc. , Mai Xiang and Huai Ci answered carefully.

Returning to the side hall again, Uladomin had already forgotten what he was asking, but Yong En suddenly said: "Huaici, I want to know, when do you plan to notify your parents to propose marriage to the Ye family?"

Knowing that he was kicked out by his parents, Mai Xiang hurriedly said, "What are you doing, brother-in-law? How old am I?"

"It's not like I was married at the age of 11 in the Qing Dynasty. The two of you have lived in the same room for such a long time. Could it be that he doesn't want to be responsible? Or does his family look down on you?" Seeing that Huai Ci didn't speak, Yong En felt a little unhappy .

"By the way, what exactly does your family do?" Uladomin remembered that Huaici hadn't answered his own question yet.

"My family is in Changhe Town outside the capital city. My father is now the head of the Ministry of Industry, and the family is still well off. It's just that I'm a concubine. I'm afraid the money in the family has nothing to do with me, but I can support myself and support myself. Sister." Huai Ci's last two words were very firm.

"It's not the same as raising a living." Amu Xin interjected unhappily, and relying on Huai Ci to set up a stall to sell New Year pictures on Liulichang Street, the economic situation is not much better.

At this time, Mai Xiang was not focused on this, but was knocked out by the words Changhezhen said by the other party.
