Chapter 3 Smallpox
In the early morning, all sounds were silent, and the eastern horizon shone with a trace of light, soaking the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved in from afar.
"Girl, girl, girl, wake up, girl, please wake up...".
Oak-hee opened her eyes and saw a round-faced woman in her mid-thirties sitting next to her, wearing a round bun and blue clothes.
When the woman saw Yuxi open her eyes, she was very surprised and called out, "Miss, you're awake, ma'am, you're finally awake."
Oak-hee looked at the person in front of her for a moment, and Mother Fang was here to pick her up. Fortunately, Fang's mother can come to pick her up, which means that she will be able to see her mother soon. She has grown so big and has never seen her mother!
Fang's mother touched her head and exclaimed happily, "Girl, your fever has subsided." As long as the fever subsides, it means that the dangerous period is over.
Oak-hee wanted to ask where this was, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that her throat was burning hot, and she could still speak.
Although Mama Fang didn't think much of it when she saw Yuxi's dumbfounded appearance, the girl just woke up after a few days in a coma, and it's normal for her to react a few beats slowly: "Girl, are you hungry? I'll serve you a bowl of porridge. ."
Yuxi nodded, divided two by three, and finished a bowl of millet porridge: "Another bowl?" She was so hungry that she hadn't eaten a full meal during her escape.
Fang's mother smiled when she saw that Oak-hee had eaten a bowl of white rice porridge in the blink of an eye. Hearing that Oak-hee was even more happy, such a good appetite meant that his illness was almost healed.
Oak-hee asked after eating the porridge, "Mom, where is this?"
Mother Fang's expression stiffened, and after a while, she said, "Girl, this is Qingzhu Xiaozhu." Seeing Yuxi's blank face, Fang's mother explained, "Girl, although Qingzhu Xiaozhu's position is a little bit off, but in the end It's still in the Duke's Mansion, so girls don't have to be afraid."
Yuxi said to himself, "Qingzhu Xiaozhu?" It seemed that he had heard this name before.
Fang's mother looked at Yuxi with a sour nose: "Miss, don't you remember? You got smallpox, and the eldest lady moved you here. Don't worry ma'am, your fever is gone now, and your illness will be cured soon. We are very happy. I'll be able to move back to the Rose Garden soon." The old lady wanted to move the girl to the village in the countryside, but luckily she was stopped by the eldest lady.
Oak-hee finally knew why he was familiar with this place. When she came out of smallpox, she lived in Qingzhu Xiaozhu for more than a month.
Fang's mother didn't know what Yuxi was thinking, she only thought that Yuxi was sad: "Girl, I know you are sad, but the top priority now is to take care of your illness."
Oak Hee's brain short-circuited, and she responded unconsciously.
Fang's mother said, "Miss, if you stay for a while, I'll make medicine for you. If you feel uncomfortable, call me, girl, and I'll be outside."
Oak-hee nodded, "Okay."
Sunlight came in through the window and shone on Oak-hee. Oak-hee looked at her shrunken hands and said in a low voice, "Am I alive again?"
Fang's mother came in with the medicine and said, "Girl, come, drink the medicine, and you will be well soon after drinking the medicine."
In the past, Oak-hee had to let Mama Fang coax and deceive her when she took medicine, but this time Oak-hee drank a large bowl of medicine without frowning.
The medicine was filled with soothing herbs, and Oak Hee fell asleep after drinking the medicine for a while. I slept well into the afternoon this night. After waking up, I looked around, pinched myself again, and it hurt a lot: "I really came back to life." And I went back to my childhood.
When Mommy Fang saw Oak-hee awake, she immediately served the cooked millet porridge.
Ok-hee looked at the millet porridge in the bowl and suddenly remembered something. The location of Qingzhu Xiaozhu is remote, and since she has a smallpox, after moving to Qingzhu Xiaozhu, Fang's mother cooks, and the big kitchen only delivers things once a day in the morning. But in the middle of the kitchen, there was no delivery for two consecutive days. When Fang's mother went to ask for something, she was framed by those who wanted to spread the smallpox virus to the rest of the mansion.
If it wasn't for Fang's mother who had been let go by her mother, she would have been beaten to death on the spot. After the incident, Fang's mother was expelled from the Guogong Mansion. Because of this incident, Fang's mother has been unhappy and died not long after.
Oak-hee asked, "Did the kitchen not deliver anything for the past two days?"
Fang's mother was very surprised. She didn't tell the girl about this at all, and she didn't know how the girl knew about it: "Girl, there may be a delay in the kitchen, and it is estimated that something will be delivered later."
Sure enough, Yuxi sneered, "Mom, use the kitchen things tightly!" The aunt is the mistress of the house, and there must be something tricky about anyone who has the aunt's photo of the Buddha's kitchen.
Yuxi's mother, Ning's, saved his life to the second young master, Han Jianye. Mrs. Qiu's wife was a person with clear grievances. Ning's rescued her son, so she returned the kindness to Oak Xi. In the last life, it was because of Qiu's illuminating Buddha that Oak-hee was able to grow up in a safe and stable manner. Later, if Jiang Hongjin hadn't suddenly appeared, she would have married into the Qiu family, and married the third young master of the Qiu family. She would definitely not have a wealthy life, but she would definitely live a peaceful and happy life.
Fang's mother forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will use it closely." It was a trivial matter that the thing was not delivered. What worries Fang's mother is that the doctor has not come yet.
Oak-hee thought that Fang's mother didn't take her words to heart, and directly said what she was thinking: "Mom, there must be someone instructed to bring something from the kitchen. You must not go out, you can go out if you want. The way of people, you can't stay by my side in the future." Speaking of which, Yuxi's tears fell: "Mom, mother is gone, I have only you by my side. What do you want me to do in the future?" Have
Mother Fang hugged Yuxi and said, "Don't worry, girl, I won't go out, and I will always be by her side."
Oak Xi nodded and said, "Did the doctor not come today?"
Smallpox ravaged the capital this year, and many people were infected with smallpox, especially many children. There were also two children in the Guogongfu who were infected with smallpox, one was her and the other was her half-brother Han Jianhui. On her third brother's side, there was an imperial physician invited by the old lady from the palace for diagnosis and treatment, and the one who treated her was a doctor invited by her aunt outside. Rao is so, the old lady heard that the doctor who saw her was good in medicine, so she called the doctor away. Don't care about her life or death.
Fang's mother's expression changed, but she didn't expect the girl to become so sharp after being ill: "Don't worry, girl, if the doctor hasn't come at night, I'll go and ask the eldest lady."
Yuxi shook her head and said, "No, my fever has subsided, and I'll be fine." If she could survive in her last life, this life will certainly be no exception.
In the evening, it was millet porridge again.
Mother Fang was a little sad. Originally, the girl needed to eat some good supplements after recovering from a serious illness, but now she can only eat these: "Girl, let's eat some soon!" Fortunately, there is still a bag of rice left in the kitchen, or even millet I can't even eat porridge.
Yuxi smiled lightly: "It's okay." It's good to have millet porridge to drink. Only after being hungry can you know how happy it is to be not hungry.
After drinking the porridge, Yuxi said, "Don't worry, Mom. Auntie will know about it soon. Tomorrow morning, the things should be delivered." It's amazing that the people behind the scenes can hide the news for two days. There have been too many things in these days, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago.
Fang's mother moved her lips a little, for fear that Yuxi would not dare to say anything: "Well, people from the kitchen will definitely come over tomorrow." I just hope that the doctor will come over tomorrow.
Mrs. Qiu's wife has been very busy these days, with a lot of things inside and out. There are two children in the family who are infected with smallpox, and she has to serve the old lady. She is almost tired.
Qiu's escort, Mother Wang, saw that her face was wrong, and asked, "Madam, what's wrong? Is the third young master bad?"
Qiu Shi didn't answer, but just asked, "I asked you to go outside to ask for a doctor, why is there no news yet?" It was also thanks to the old lady that she did it, and when she heard that Doctor Bai's medical skills were good, she even called the person away, no matter what. Oak Hee was still in a coma.
Wang's mother shook her head and said, "Madam, you also know what's going on outside. Now go and find a doctor, where can you find it!"
Qiu Shi's face was gloomy: "The child is afraid that the evil is more fortunate?" The third young master has not woken up after the imperial doctor's treatment here, and Yuxi probably won't be able to survive it.
Wang's mother relieved: "Madam has done enough." Originally, the old lady meant to send the four girls out of the mansion. It was her master who kept the four girls in the mansion, and she went to great lengths to invite the famous doctor Bai Doctor. Treat her. Without a master of her own, the four girls would be gone long ago, so how could they hold on till now.
Qiu's expression was heavy. She had promised Ning that she would take good care of Yuxi and raise her as an adult, but now she has to break her promise.
At this moment, the maid Liu Yue walked in and said, "Madam, the big kitchen hasn't delivered anything to Qingzhu Xiaozhu for two days."
Qiu Shi was annoyed. Hearing this, she slapped her face on the table and said angrily, "Who is so bold? Dare to deduct the things of the Fourth Young Lady?"
Liu Yue said in a low voice, "The servant asked the woman who sent the things. The woman said that the fourth girl had been in a coma for three days. She felt that it was a waste to send the things, so she stole it."
Qiu Shi didn't believe this: "Tie people up and interrogate them well."
Wang's mother hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, it is a troubled time in the house now. If the old lady knows, she will definitely be dissatisfied with you. Madam, it is not appropriate to make a big deal about this." The kitchen steward is the old lady's housekeeper. To give three faces. If the woman is caught and the wife in charge is involved, then her own wife will not get better.
Qiu Shi was silent for a while, and then asked, "Why has this matter been discovered until now?" For two days, it was concealed for two days? What does this represent? It means that someone can easily deceive her. This time it was Oak-hee's business, what would happen next time. Thinking of this, Qiu Shi was not going to reveal it so easily.
Mother Wang's expression changed: "It's the old slave's dereliction of duty." In fact, it was mainly because Mother Wang didn't pay attention to Yuxi and paid less attention, so she was taken advantage of.
Wang's mother is Qiu's housemate, but not a confidant. Qiu's confidant is Li's mother. But a few days ago, Li's mother caught a cold and had a fever. It happened that during this period of time, the Qiu family asked Li's mother to rest at home. If Mother Li was here, there would never be such a mistake.
Qiu stood up and said, "Go to Qingzhu Xiaozhu."
