Chapter 21

Beijing.【26nbsp;】

In the palace.

The morning court had just ended, and the imperial study room was enveloped in a depressing and cold atmosphere. The great eunuch Wan Dafu used a sharp look to scare away the little palace maid who was serving tea. He personally picked up the small tea tray carved from red sandalwood and thought about the possibility of asking for it back.

After going through it, he quietly entered the study.

The emperor, who was wearing a bright yellow Yishan crown and a black gauze folded turban, had his eyes slightly closed as if he was taking a nap, but the father-in-law did not dare to neglect, standing aside with a tea tray and not daring to make a sound.

The emperor was not asleep. He opened his eyes when he heard someone coming in. Eunuch Wan carefully put down the gold-glazed red tea cup and said with a smile: "This is this year's new tea, the best Dahongpao. Please drink some to moisten your throat, the emperor."

Bar."

Seeing the emperor take the tea cup, Wan Eunuch's fat round face suddenly beamed with joy, but then he heard the crisp sound of the emperor fidgeting with the lid of the tea cup. He couldn't help but swallowed and began to pray to the Bodhisattva to bless him as he went back today.

It was still complete at the time.

"Pa--" The cup was placed heavily on the table. With a clever move, he bent down even lower.

"Huh, everyone is forcing me. You really think I am easy to bully." A deep and hoarse murmur came from above, containing endless anger.

The emperor was so angry that he laid his body thousands of miles away.

Eunuch Wan knew that he would definitely not be able to answer the call now. He lowered his head and rolled his eyes, trying to think of a way to divert the emperor's attention. His mind quickly thought of the masters of the palaces who had come to deliver the message today. After selecting for a while, he spoke with confidence: "

Your Majesty, today the Concubine Liang personally cooked Bainiao Soup. I hope Your Majesty will try it and see if it tastes authentic. Do you think it tastes good?"

When he heard the word "good concubine", the emperor's mood turned from cloudy to clear. He stood up and held his belt. After walking two steps, he paused as if he remembered something. The atmosphere around him became condensed again. Eunuch Wan screamed in his heart.

, what’s going on, our family can’t afford to be frightened.

"The person who was sent to Qingzhou to convey the order is back?" His voice was extremely calm. He turned around and sat down again. Eunuch Wan was not sure what he meant, so he could only reply truthfully: "I haven't returned to the emperor yet. I'm leaving this time."

The inn will probably arrive in the afternoon at the earliest."

He only heard a faint "hmm", and he didn't know why the emperor became cold again. Eunuch Wan felt uneasy, wondering whether the unlucky Mr. Lin was very important to the emperor, otherwise how could his mood change so drastically.

However, distant Qingzhou has ushered in an excellent weather. The autumn mood has finally driven away the summer heat. The cool autumn wind flows through the streets and alleys, conveying the miracle of the "Bodhisattva Apparition" last night. When the city

When the first ray of warm sunshine shone in, everyone knew that the new Mr. Lin had a method passed down from the Bodhisattva and could solve the problem in Qingzhou.

Now who could stay longer, they all rushed to the government office to wait. Lin Yuanzhi did not keep them waiting, and soon came with more than a dozen followers, holding various boxes in their hands.

According to yesterday's order, someone quickly set up the pot, added water and firewood, and quickly boiled a pot of water.

Looking at the people around him with shabby clothes, dusty faces, but endless hope in their eyes, Lin Yuanzhi felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, his little daughter happened to have read a prescription for this epidemic in a medical book, and remembered it at the critical moment.

, although some people advise themselves not to put all their bets on this recipe, after all, it has never appeared before, and there is no precedent for a cure. If the patient cannot be cured, it will be self-defeating, lose the trust of the people, and cause greater turmoil.

.

It's not that Lin Yuanzhi didn't know the powerful connection here, but he had a hunch that this recipe would work... He smiled bitterly and rubbed his brow, there was no other choice anyway...

Bupleurum, Huangling, Codonopsis pilosula, tangerine peel, Pinellia ternata, licorice, Artemisia annua... Various medicinal materials were carefully weighed and put into the pot in order. After the fire was boiled, the air was filled with a strong medicinal smell, because

The liquid was large and concentrated, so the smell was very strong. People who were stirring and adding firewood could not help but cover their heads with towels, but the common people felt like they were smelling the fairy spirit, and everyone stared at the mouthful with bright eyes.

Pot, his body leaned forward involuntarily, his hands trembling slightly in a grasping shape, as if he was trying to grasp the hope of his loved one's life.

Two big men in servant uniforms shouted slogans and worked together to bring a vat of water. Another servant poured the concoction from the pot into the vat and put a thick wooden stick in to stir it up. It became a life-saving vat.

medicine.

After arranging the manpower to distribute the concoction, Lin Yuanzhi followed Yu Zhu's instructions and arranged errands.

Although I don’t understand why we have to fill up stagnant rivers, burn mugwort regularly, clean dirty corners, kill mosquitoes and flies... (Yuzhu is crazy, I can’t tell you about malaria parasites. After the female mosquito sucks blood, the blood will be in the mosquito’s stomach.

The speed of internal digestion and the length of the proliferation period of Plasmodium spores are amazing), but I still followed it faithfully.

In the Lin family's back house, Yu Zhu didn't have to worry too much. He went around asking Mother Liu and Cui Wei: he bought light and soft Gebu to make a mosquito net, and filled up a small stagnant pond in the backyard that was particularly suitable for mosquitoes to breed.

There are several pots of nine-leaf clover that mosquitoes particularly hate, placed in each room.

Looking at the refreshing results with satisfaction, Yu Zhu nodded with satisfaction. As long as the weather gets colder in a while, there is no need to worry about mosquito transmission. In addition, with the medicine, people who are infected will

Gradually reduce, and individual repetitions will not take much time.

She has done everything she can, and the future will depend on her father. However, she believes in her father's ability and believes that things will be done properly.

After the last time when mobs besieged the house, Ms. Cui was very pleased with her little girl's intelligence, so this time Yu Zhu's actions received strong support from Ms. Cui. Ms. Yu Zhu was very helpless, as Ms. Cui now regarded her as a porcelain doll.

After standing for a while, he let her rest. The deep love in his eyes was almost too much for her to bear. She was glad that this little body in her early ten years contained the soul of an adult. Otherwise, she would be as doting as Mrs. Cui.

Sooner or later, she will grow into a lawless and arrogant woman. That would be the classic image of a vicious female supporting role.

There was no concubine in the back house, so it seemed extremely peaceful and warm. Although Lin Yuanzhi had to work until late every day and was so tired that he could fall asleep even after eating, things were done smoothly. What made him most happy was not Si.

Li's luck in escaping was not due to the gratitude and praise of the people, but because Cui would leave a small lamp every day and lean on the big red pillow while sewing while waiting for him to come back. The warm light, his wife's gentle face and the

The warm midnight snack instantly relieved him from the fatigue of the day, leaving him with only comfort and comfort.

Half asleep and half awake, he felt his wife's hands tucked under the quilt cover shyly on the back of his hands. He actually longed to live like this forever, forever.
