Chapter 651: The Poorest House of Officials in the Capital
"My little girl Wei Wan Ning, my younger brother is in urgent need of medical attention. Please lend a helping hand to Mr. Xiao Su." Wei Wan Ning said, her body shook and she was about to fall off the horse.
Su Qianxiu stood up and supported the person. Seeing that Wei Wan Ning's face was unusually red, and the child in her arms was even more so, he said in a deep voice, "I'll go ahead and pick him up from the Jinyi Guardhouse."
"Thank you, thank you." Wei Wan Ning thanked her vigorously.
Su Qianxiu took out a medicine bottle from his arms and put it in Wei Wanning's hand: "Eat something first. You have a high fever. Stay awake and go to the health center. I'll ask someone to come over."
Before Wei Wan Ning had time to speak, she watched Su Qianxiu wrap his little brother in a big cloak and ride away. She rolled off the horse. She turned her head to look at the dark green medicine bottle, opened it, took out one and put it in her mouth. She looked at it from the side.
I grabbed a handful of snow in the palm of my hand and rubbed my face vigorously. After getting up several times and getting on my horse, I sat down directly on the snow and looked at the string of horse hoof marks with tears in my eyes. My eyes became increasingly blurry.
He finally fell down.
Su Qianxiu went to the city gate and took off his waist tag. He ordered the guard guarding the gate to find the woman in red along the way and asked her to be sent to the guard house. Then he went to the guard house. When he arrived at the guard house, he put the child in his room and entered the palace.
Going to pick up grandma, he knew that things at home were stable and the emperor would definitely take grandma into the palace.
Chen Yu, who was chatting with Xiao Qiyu in the royal study room, got the news and quickly left the palace and went straight to the guard station.
"Grandma, don't worry." Su Qianxiu said softly.
Chen Yu shook his head: "Human life is at stake. You are the one who picked me up half way through. If there are any shortcomings, I can't tell you."
When they arrived at the health center, Chen Yu saw the little boy's appearance, looked at his hands and feet, and unbuttoned his clothes: "It's chickenpox. Go get a basin of hot water and some soft cloth."
"Yes." Su Qianxiu went out to prepare.
Chen Yu checked carefully and found that the child's chickenpox had not yet reached his face, but high fever was too dangerous. After giving him antipyretic medicine, he took out calamine lotion and antibiotic ointment, and the two medicines were replaced in the space.
Using pots and pottery bottles as cover, I took water from the Tianlai Spring and put it in a kettle.
The child's clothes were neat inside and out, but he didn't look wealthy at all. Chen Yu was most afraid of someone harming his family, so he was very careful when dealing with it.
Calamine lotion can relieve itching. Apply it to unbroken blisters and ink ointment to broken blisters. Then wrap the child's two little hands with soft cloth to avoid scratching and causing infection. Soak the soft cloth in hot water.
Used for physical cooling.
Just as things were done here, someone outside reported: "Sir, the girl was found, but she is unconscious."
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, but she could handle even the most serious things, so when Su Qianxiu asked the two rough sweepers in the yard to carry the girl in red, Chen Yu immediately went over to check her pulse. The little boy
She looked to be only five or six years old, and this girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She also had a high fever caused by chickenpox.
This was in ancient times. If you didn't meet yourself, this disease would be very dangerous and the infection would be very fast.
He asked two rough ladies to help take care of it, and Chen Yu cleaned it up for the girl in red.
I prescribed Shuanghuang Powder decoction and asked Su Qianxiu to get the medicine.
After all these matters were taken care of, Chen Yu had time to ask Su Qianxiu.
"They should be Mr. Wei's family members. I'm not sure. I'll ask the girl when she wakes up so that I can go over and inform her before taking her back." Su Qianxiu told the story of the encounter and made arrangements.
Chen Yu nodded: "Is it Mr. Wei, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who spent all his money to donate money to the country?"
"Yes, that girl said her name is Wei Wan Ning." Su Qianxiu said.
Chen Yu felt a little relieved.
Wei Wan Ning woke up soon. She was still dizzy when she woke up. When she saw Chen Yu sitting by the bed, she quickly got up and was about to get out of bed to salute. Chen Yu pressed her shoulders: "It's okay, Miss Wei needs it."
Lie down for a while and your body will be weak for a few days after the fever subsides."
"Mrs. Su, I have no choice but to alarm you. Is my brother in danger?" Wei Wan Ning asked.
Chen Yu shook his head: "It doesn't matter. I don't have a high fever tonight. Don't get cold later. I'll be fine in a few days."
Hearing this, Wei Wanning breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her repeatedly.
Chen Yu asked: "Does Miss Wei live in the capital?"
"Yes, my grandfather is the Minister of Household Affairs. We originally planned to meet in Beijing in a few days to celebrate the New Year, but my little brother suddenly developed a high fever and developed a lot of watery rashes. I was so scared that I came back to Beijing for help."
Wei Wan Ning said.
Chen Yu said softly: "Thanks to Miss Wei for coming back quickly, don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Master Xiao Su and the old lady are life-savers." Wei Wan Ning said softly: "If I had not been able to bear it anymore, I would not have stopped Master Xiao Su on the road."
Chen Yu slightly raised the corners of his lips: "It's okay, it's okay. Just lie down quickly. I'll let someone come over to let you know. I'll come back to pick you up. You have to be careful not to catch the cold."
"Well, thank you, Madam Su." Wei Wan Ning was indeed weak and weak, so she stopped struggling.
After the Wei Mansion knew the news, Mrs. Wei personally came to pick them up. She also expressed her gratitude and politeness and took the two children back.
This whole ordeal lasted two days and one night. Chen Yu took the opportunity to ask Su Qianxiu to go to the palace to complain and not go back to the palace. The excuse was ready. Chickenpox is easily infected and he cannot get over the illness.
She was not in a hurry to go back to Su Silang, but stayed in the guardhouse.
Su Qianxiu invited his grandma to stay in the house at the back. In the front was his guardhouse where he handled official duties, and in the back was his resting place.
The place is spacious enough and everything is well taken care of.
Chen Yu was worried that her children at home would be infected with such a disease if they were young.
That night, the Wei family came to the health center again and said that both children had high fever again.
Su Qianxiu accompanied Chen Yu to Wei Mansion.
Entering the gate of the Wei Mansion, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. The official of the Minister of Household Affairs is not young and has great power, but is the Wei family too shabby? There are only two lamps hanging in the huge courtyard.
Not to mention the lantern, it is not worthy to follow the official name indifferently.
Go inside and look again, oh!
Mrs. Wei personally takes care of her granddaughter and grandson. She doesn’t even have a mother-in-law by her side. Does this mean she has no servants?!
He taught Mrs. Wei the physical cooling method, and left enough calamine and ointment. After the two children's fevers had subsided, Chen Yu left.
On the way back, Chen Yu couldn't help but get curious: "Qianxiu, is the Wei family so poor?"
"Not really, but he has suffered a lot before. Mr. Wei is a diligent and frugal person, and this applies to everyone in the Wei family. Except for Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei who are in the capital, the rest of the Wei family is with Zhuangzi."
Su Qianxiu said: "It is also to prevent the world from being suspicious. After all, everyone in the capital has long known that the Wei family is poor."
When starting a business, you can slowly nod: "It's rare to have such a pure and upright family tradition."
