The Mansion of the Minister of Civil Affairs is not far from the Prince of Jin's Mansion, both within the imperial city. It takes less than two-quarters of an hour to get there by horse carriage. The reason it takes so long is because we deliberately went around to the back door.

The third prince's personal servant opened the back door as soon as he heard the commotion, "Master."

"How is my grandfather?" the third prince asked in a hurry.

"I pulled it twice more, and there was blood."

"Sister-in-law." The third prince looked at Chen Xiuyan, who was a few steps behind.

"The medicine is ready." Chen Xiuyan reassured the third prince with one word. When they arrived at the main courtyard, Chen Xiuyan poured water from the water bag she brought and brewed the medicine powder. The servants served the Minister of Civil Affairs and drank the medicine first.

Although Chen Xiuyan has never dealt with Mr. Cui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, she has seen both sides from afar. She was so majestic before, but now she is so embarrassed. She has lost weight and her face has turned pale.

Master Cui fell asleep soon after taking the medicine.

"When you wake up, eat some light liquid food. In recent days, your diet has been mainly light. Drink more water." Chen Xiuyan explained, "I may still have diarrhea a few times, but it will stop gradually. I will take this medicine three times a day.

, take it after meals, just soak it in the way I just did."

Chen Xiuyan told the waiter, and then took out a pile of small oil paper seals, all containing medicine, and the servants gave them to the masters one after another.

"If you have young children who also have diarrhea, take this medicine." Chen Xiuyan took out another oil paper seal. The color of the powder inside was not white but yellow.

"My eldest cousin's youngest son is only seven months old. Can he take this medicine?" the third prince asked.

"Seven months?" Chen Xiuyan thought of her family at home, which was about the same age as her own family, "I'll go take a look first."

The eldest son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Sun Shan, is good at martial arts. One of his ancestors is a civil servant and the other is a martial artist. He is the hotly debated tiger father in the capital. If both his ancestors and his grandson are civil servants, only one of them will be able to stay in the capital. But it is different if he joins the military service. He is still with the emperor.

The Jingwu Guards held an important position among them. They were royal soldiers, not under the control of the Governor's Palace, and close ministers of the emperor.

The eldest son of the Cui family did not contract the disease because he was on duty, but his wife and children were all infected. When Chen Xiuyan went to see her, she was the only one who was allowed in. The wet nurse was breastfeeding the child, but the child was crying and could not be fed at all. Grandma Cui dragged her

The weak body was anxiously comforted at the side, holding a bowl of brown concoction in his hand.

Chen Xiuyan could tell at a glance that they wanted to feed their children medicine with one sip of concoction and one sip of milk.

"Nanny, squeeze the milk into the bowl."

After Chen Xiuyan came in, Grandma Cui called someone, "Why is the Crown Princess here?"

"My child is about the same age as my grandma's child, so I took the medicine and came here to have a look." Chen Xiuyan explained.

The waiter beside Grandma Cui whispered a few words in her ear, and her attitude towards Chen Xiuyan became more and more friendly. The person brought by the third prince was also the princess of the Jin Dynasty, so it was naturally unusual.

Soak the medicinal powder in breast milk and feed it to the child one bite at a time with a small spoon. Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine has a smaller taste and is not too bitter. The child drank half a bowl of milk in a short time.

After softly comforting her for a while, she fell asleep. Grandma Cui breathed a long sigh of relief. The child who was originally fat and fat was now a lot thinner. She looked very distressed. It would be great if she could fall asleep.

"In addition to milk, give the baby some water." Chen Xiuyan checked the baby's pulse and looked at the tongue, "Is the baby taking complementary food again?"...

"Complementary food?" Grandma Cui was very unfamiliar with this word and asked repeatedly in doubt.

"For example, rice cereal." Chen Xiuyan said, "Use a stone mill to grind the rice and whole grains, add water and cook them before feeding them to the children."

"There are also noodles, which are boiled soft and brittle, and fruits and vegetables that can be mashed to make juice. These can be given to children." Chen Xiuyan introduced, "Of course, children cannot add seasonings, salt, soy sauce, etc., just

You want the original flavor of the ingredients themselves.”

"When the child wakes up, you can start adding more milk to him." When Chen Xiuyan saw the child who was about the same age as Mr. Gui, she inevitably wanted to share her parenting experience. "My family is about the same age as Mr. Gui. I started to add milk to him after he turned half a year old.

With complementary food, it tastes delicious and is better than simply taking breast milk.”

"No, no more breastfeeding?" Grandma Cui said in surprise.

"I'm still feeding, but the amount can be reduced." Chen Xiuyan plans to feed the child until he is one year old and then wean him.

Sister Cui heard about such a thing, and of course she couldn't do it. But after all, the person she was talking about was Chen Xiuyan, the Crown Princess of Prince Jin's Palace. She still smiled and nodded and said that she had taken note of it. It was true that she heard it, but she could

Don't do it.

Grandma Cui couldn't help but wonder if the food in the countryside was not good and there was no milk, so she started to feed such a young child. It was probably like this.

Chen Xiuyan didn't know. If she knew, she would really be a fool.

After everyone in the Ministry of Official Affairs had drunk the medicine, Chen Xiuyan had a hot New Year's Eve supper, which was cooked by the Third Prince's people. All of them had washed themselves and changed into clean clothes before cooking.

The prince had all eaten, and of course Chen Xiuyan followed suit without hesitation.

"Master, you woke up and had a bowl of rice porridge." After the third prince finished eating, a servant came to report, with a smile on his face. Hearing this, the third prince also became happy and hurried to see it with his own eyes. Today, these two days

This is when Cui Shangshu is in the best spirits. He is not clutching his stomach and feeling uncomfortable. Although he is weak, there is a smile on his face.

"The third prince is worried." Cui Shangshu looked at the third prince lovingly. He already knew that it was the Crown Princess of Jin who came to treat him overnight.

Others may not know that Chen Xiuyan knows medical skills, but Cui Shangshu knows it. He is the grandfather of the third prince and a person whom he trusts very much. When the third prince was in danger and injured, Chen Xiuyan came to the rescue when he suffered from anaphylactic shock.

"The Crown Princess of Jin is indeed as the third prince said. Her medical skills are even better than those of the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital." The patient has the most say in whether the results will be quick or not. Cui Shangshu can now clearly feel the changes in his body, and his diarrhea has stopped.

Can people adjust slowly?

"Grandpa, there is a problem over there in Shanxi." The third prince also told the story of Yan An from Shouan County coming to Beijing as a New Year's gift. Looking at the situation, there must be many people infected with the disease. "But no one in Shanxi has reported this."

thing."

"Has the Crown Prince sent a letter to King Jin?" Cui Shangshu asked.

"I sent a letter yesterday," the third prince said, "but there was too long a gap between the floods and the epidemic in Shanxi. Grandfather thought it might be man-made. You should still remember the tuberculosis incident in Taiyuan Prefecture two years ago. At that time, it was King Lu's

Handwriting."

"Prince Lu left Beijing before, and someone fell ill on the way. I heard that he was buried on the spot." Things that I didn't think were problematic before now seem to be foreshadowing now.

"After we leave the capital, our people no longer follow us secretly, and we don't care if there are a few insignificant others in the team." The third prince regretted it now, so he should have kept a closer eye.

"I'll ask someone to inquire about it." Cui Shangshu thought too much. Princess Lu left Beijing at the same time as the foreign envoys. Now it's unclear whose handiwork it was.
