Three hundred and three chapters change evil to good (three)
After Shen Rui had dinner in the main courtyard, he went to Songbai Courtyard for a tour and then returned to Jiuruju.
Apart from Shen Jue's bedroom, there is only one couch in the Songbai Courtyard, which is really not a place to place people in winter.
There were other people working shifts last night, but Shen Rui had no place to stay, and he was still worried about Shen Jue, so he just leaned on the couch. After another day of work today, he was already exhausted.
Here in Songbaiyuan, after Mao's mother and Zhou's mother discussed it, Zhou's mother would take Chunhe to look after the first half of the night, Mao's mother would take Chunhe to watch in the second half of the night, and several maids would also be divided into two shifts to help.
Before the second watch, Shen Jue slept peacefully and nothing happened; when the second watch came, she started to have a fever.
The liquor was all ready, so Zhou's mother and Chunhe put towels on Shen Jue's hands to wipe them with.
As a result, the high fever subsided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the third watch, Mother Mao and Chun Ying came to take over the handover, and Mother Zhou and Chun He went down to rest.
Taking care of patients is not something that happens every day. Zhou’s mother is getting older, and she wouldn’t be able to endure it if it weren’t for someone taking shifts.
As a result, Shen Jue became hot again just after the handover.
This time, even after wiping the wine, Shen Jue's body turned red and she started talking nonsense.
"Master...Master, where is the pony..."
"Dad, let's eat rock sugar elbow tonight..."
"Aniang, the flower vase was broken by Brother Dong... Aniang, my leg hurts..."
As she spoke, Shen Jue started to cry: "Oh, oh, I want to go home...Master, I want to go home..."
Big tears rolled down his face, and his hands and feet were restless, kicking the quilt again and again.
Seeing that his fever did not go away, Chunying wanted to discuss with Mao's mother whether to report to Mrs. Xu so that she could invite a doctor over overnight. But she was shocked when she heard Shen Jue's nonsense.
She quickly glanced at Mao Mao, and saw Mao Mao looking at Shen Jue with pity on her face, but not surprised or unhappy.
"Mom, the third brother's fever hasn't gone away yet, why don't you go and invite the second brother?" Chun Ying said.
Shen Rui told them before he left that if anything happened to Shen Jue, he could go to Jiuruyuan to call someone, no matter how early or late it was. It's just that Shen Rui looked like an adult, but he really had to go pick up the doctor in the middle of the night, and Xu's Speaking, so the first thing Chunying thought of just now was the Xu family.
But after listening to Shen Jue's nonsense and thinking about his own relatives, Chunying was afraid that Mrs. Xu would be unhappy if she came over and heard it, so she thought it would be better to invite Shen Rui first.
Mother Mao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, let's invite my second brother over... I'll be there right away...
Shen Ruiyin didn't get a good rest last night and went to bed early tonight.
When Mao's mother came to greet her, although Shen Rui rested, she didn't sleep well.
Before he went to bed, he had told Liu Ya and Chun Yan to wake him up if anyone came from Songbai Courtyard. Hearing some movement outside, Shen Rui put on his clothes and stood up without the need for anyone to wake him up.
After hearing Mao Mao and hearing the whole story, he immediately followed Mao Mao out.
"Third brother, the fever won't go away, and rubbing it with soju doesn't help." Mao's mother looked worried, but she wasn't pretending.
Shen Jue is the second-in-law’s heir. If it continues like this, who knows what the consequences will be.
This kid is not one of two cases where he has a high fever and becomes a fool.
After hearing this, Shen Rui felt quite heavy. Although fever is the body's self-protection mechanism and can burn out cold viruses, no one can guarantee the consequences of sustained high fever.
When they arrived at the Songbai Courtyard bedroom, Shen Rui felt something was wrong and frowned: "Why is it so hot?"
Mother Mao said: "Because the third brother is ill, Mother Zhou asked people to add two more charcoal basins at night."
Although there is no thermometer at the moment, compared with the usual room temperature, the temperature in this room is more than five or six degrees higher.
Shen Rui frowned and said: "The inner room should not be too hot, take it quickly."
Mao's mother hesitated for a moment and then went ahead.
Chunying was sitting by the kang, wiping Shen Jue's armpits with a towel. Seeing Shen Rui coming, she quickly got up.
Shen Jue's face was red and turned into a prawn from the heat. He was mumbling words in his mouth, sometimes "Master", "Auntie", sometimes "Honey Cake", "Woshu Candy".
Shen Rui reached out and wanted to wipe the temperature of Shen Jue's forehead, but he reached out and grabbed it.
His hands were hot but weak.
Shen Rui didn't break away. The patient needed the comfort of his relatives most, so he just wanted to show sympathy.
Shen Rui turned around and asked Chunying: "Where is the ice? Can it be used immediately?"
"There is floating ice in the water tank in the water room." Spring Parrot thought for a while and said.
"Here, get some more towels." Shen Rui said.
The spring parrot responded, but Shen Jue took Shen Rui's hand and brought it to his mouth, biting it all at once.
He was so burned that he didn't have enough strength, otherwise he might have bitten his skin.
Shen Rui didn't feel any pain, but the sticky feeling of the saliva was also uncomfortable. Just as he was about to pull out his hand, Shen Jue had already let go, pushed it aside, and muttered: "I don't want crystal legs and feet, I want roast duck."
Shen Rui's mouth twitched, he stood up, took out a towel, and wiped his hands hard.
Spring Ying came back with ice cubes, and Mao's mother also came back from moving the charcoal basin. Shen Rui asked them to take off Shen Jue's quilt and expose her hands and feet.
The towel was packed with ice cubes, covering every five parts of my hands, feet and forehead.
Just like this, he used ice to cool down and tossed it back and forth for half an hour before Shen Jue's body temperature dropped.
During this period, Shen Rui also asked someone to help Shen Jue up and gave him a bowl of warm water.
Zhou's mother, Chunhe and others had already heard the noise and got up, and Shen Rui ordered them to prepare hot water.
When Shen Jue removed the ice and his body temperature rose again, the hot water was already ready.
Shen Rui asked someone to carry the bathtub, mixed it with warm water, and helped Shen Jue in.
After soaking for two-quarters of an hour, when Shen Jue was carried out, there was fine sweat on his forehead, but his body temperature had stopped rising.
The bedding was damp due to sweating before. Chunying took a replacement and tidied it up with ease.
The sound of clappers could be heard in the distance, it was already the fifth watch.
Shen Jue was in a daze, and was ordered by Shen Rui to drink another bowl of warm water before lying down.
This time he no longer had a high fever, but slept soundly.
No one dared to sleep and stayed with him until dawn.
When Mrs. Xu came to the upper room, she got the news. She knew that Shen Jue had a fever last night and Shen Rui went to guard him. She could not rest assured and hurried to Songbai Courtyard.
After seeing Shen Jue with her own eyes, Mrs. Xu was still worried and ordered someone to call for a doctor.
The doctor came over to check her pulse, looked at Shen Jue's face, and said it was fine.
Mrs. Xu felt relieved and rewarded Zhou's mother and others, and then asked Shen Rui to go back to the upper room with her.
Although Shen Cang didn't go there in person, his expression was heavy.
Seeing this, Shen Rui said: "Don't worry, sir. When Brother Jue is young and strong, he will be fine after just two days of rest... The doctor said so too..."
Shen Cang's expression softened slightly, and he looked at Shen Rui and nodded: "That's good. Although you take care of your brother, you should also take good care of yourself and don't let your mother worry..."
Shen Rui agreed, and Mrs. Xu asked someone to prepare food, which the family of three cooked.
Seeing Mrs. Xu looking at Shen Rui from time to time, moving his two favorite side dishes over to show his kindness, Shen Cang's heart moved slightly, and the sadness caused by the third master's calculation was relieved a bit.
After breakfast, Shen Cang went to the Yamen, while Shen Rui returned to Jiuruju, changed clothes, and went to Fuxue.
By the time Shen Rui came back from school, Shen Jue had already woken up, with his mouth full of all kinds of food, but he could only drink porridge at the moment.
By the time Shen Jue fully recovered and her dietary restrictions were lifted, it was already past Laba.
As the New Year was approaching, Mrs. Xu was in low spirits, so she called the third wife over and asked her to help manage the house and teach Sister Yu.
Although the third wife had helped with the housekeeping before, this was the first time she had taken over the housekeeping completely, so she was in a hurry.
However, Mrs. Xu was getting older and Sister Yu was watching from behind, so the third wife could only grit her teeth and hold on.
Seeing that his wife was too busy, the third master sighed: "The daughter-in-law chosen by my second brother is too young. It would be better if she were a few years older and could have entered the house earlier... Other people's sisters-in-law are at this age and have granddaughter-in-law tea. Where can I find it?" Why bother with housekeeping duties..."
The third wife sighed and said: "There have been a lot of things in the family in the past few years, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law are getting old... If nothing had happened to the eldest brother, Sister Ying would have married in and taken over..."
The couple had no complaints, but although the third wife had learned housekeeping before leaving the court, she had only enjoyed more than ten years of leisure and had forgotten about it. In addition, the Shen family is now the minister's mansion, and the things inside and outside the place are enough to embarrass her. .
Mrs. Xu didn't ignore it at all. She invited the third wife and Sister Yu over every day and gave them advice from time to time.
The third wife was so ashamed that she became more diligent in learning how to handle housework.
As a matter of fact, and with the concerted efforts of the third wife, Sister Yu, aunt and nephew, after the initial chaos, things were managed in a decent way, and the Shen family spent the New Year peacefully. As for the "recuperation" in the West Hospital " Mr. Qiao never showed up because he had not recovered from his illness.
At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed.
Emperor Hongzhi found that the prince was one year older and had become much calmer. He was no longer awkward when greeting the queen every day, and he was much calmer when talking about the Zhang family. However, the emperor was also worried, fearing that someone would teach the prince behind his back. If anything was wrong, he called the eunuch to carefully question the prince's surroundings.
The result is that the prince is no longer bored with class these days. Not only can he listen to the teacher on duty from beginning to end, but he has also started to do the homework assigned by the teacher.
Emperor Hongzhi was not surprised when he heard this.
Although the prince is smart, he does not like to study. In his early years, Emperor Hongzhi was not willing to restrain his son. In the past two years, as he grew older and began to indulge in martial arts, he still did not like to study, so he became a little anxious.
The reason why Emperor Hongzhi had no objection to the prince leaving the palace and making new friends, Shen Rui and others, was because he had a small thought, thinking that "those who approach Zhuge Liang will be red" and hoped that the prince would no longer be so repulsive after getting close to scholars of similar age. read.
Now that his wish has come true, Emperor Hongzhi is not only happy but also inexplicably sad. As a father, he hopes that his son can grow up carefree and innocently; but as an emperor, he needs to educate a qualified prince for the country. .
In any case, Emperor Hongzhi was still very satisfied with the several teachers of the prince, so he took advantage of the Lantern Festival to give rewards to several teachers who taught the prince.
Yang Tinghe, a bachelor of Zuo Chunfang, is one of several teachers.
He received the reward without showing it on his face, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Even though there are many people in the East Palace, it is not difficult for Yang Tinghe, as one of the prince's teachers, to talk to the prince alone. No one knows that the prince's transformation is due to his guidance behind the scenes, and he has no intention of showing off his merits to anyone.
It is undeniable that after the two of them had a little secret of being a teacher and a student, their relationship with the prince became much closer...
