Chapter 111 Collective Sickness

The ground is covered with thick hoarfrost, and a few withered and yellow leaves fall from the trees from time to time, which makes people feel that winter is coming.

After Yuxi's morning exercise, she memorized medical books in the study. The current study room is more than double the size of the study room in the Rose Garden. Even in November, the light is particularly good. She didn't sit in the study, she just stood by the window.

After breakfast, Yuxi took her maid to the upper courtyard. Today is the first day of junior high school, and it is a day to greet the old lady and the Wu family.

Yuchen was already there when Yuxi arrived, and she stepped forward to give her a blessing: "Grandmother is well."

The old lady's attitude towards Yuxi is much more kind than before, she waved her hand to let Yuxi sit down, and asked: "The weather has been cold recently, and the charcoal fire over there has been burning."

Yuxi smiled and said: "The charcoal fire has already started, and the earth dragon will burn later, and it's not so cold now." Yuxi's bedroom has not yet burned a charcoal fire, only a pot of charcoal fire was burned in the study.

Now Yu Xi's body is already very good. Like in her previous life at this time, she had already burnt the earth dragon. If she went out without wearing a thick cloak and wrapped it into rice dumplings, she would definitely catch a cold. But now, she only needs to wear a small jacket.

The old lady never worried about the shortage of things on Yuxi's side. In the past, Qiu's housekeeper would not be short of her things. Now Yuxi herself will help Qiu's with housework. He will only loosen the best for her, and how dare he withhold her things: "The clothes are too thin, wear two more when you go out, or you will catch cold easily."

Yu Xi responded with a smile.

After coming out of the courtyard, Yuxi and Yuchen went to the Biteng courtyard again. On the way, Yuchen asked, "Fourth Sister, how is your flute learning going?" The two of them hadn't spoken for several days since their conversation broke down last time. Well, exactly one piece was not touched.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "I can already play several pieces of music, and Zisu said that I can play pretty well now." The servant girl doesn't understand music theory, but it is easy to tell whether the voice is good or not. When Zisu and the maids around her say it's nice, Yuxi will learn the next song.

Yuchen still wants Yuxi to learn Guzheng.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "I don't want to learn anymore, I don't have time." She doesn't have enough time every day now, so she might as well not sleep at night when she learns Guzheng again.

Yuchen frowned and said: "Yuxi, don't spend too much time reading history books in your spare time." You can read history books and even military books, but they always tell them that they are reading books for leisure, not for flowers like Yuxi. So much time to study.

Yuxi said with a smile: "I'm not reading history books, I'm reading medical books. Other times I just embroider, or learn cooking skills from the cook."

Yuchen couldn't say anything more now.

When they arrived at Biteng Courtyard, the maids inside treated the two of them respectfully, even Wu's personal maid did not dare to neglect them.

Wu Shi was lying on the bed, and when he saw the two of them, he started coughing. Mrs. Chen came in with a bowl of black things from outside and handed it to Mrs. Wu.

Yuxi is okay, she often deals with medicinal materials, and occasionally cooks herbal medicine by herself. But Yuchen frowned, obviously, the smell of medicine made her feel very uncomfortable.

After Wu finished drinking, he stopped coughing, lay down again, and said to the two of them: "The weather is getting colder, you should also pay attention, don't catch a cold."

Yuxi smiled and said: "Thank you mother for your concern, but my third sister and I have always been in good health, and we won't get sick so easily."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu started coughing again, coughing so piercingly that the people standing next to her couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Chen stepped forward and patted Mrs. Wu on the back, then looked at Yuxi's not worried at all, and sighed slightly. The wife was sick, and the fourth girl did not forget to stab her, it was too much. It's just that there is no place for her to speak here.

People can't talk too much, or they will suffer. No, because Yu Xi said in front of Wu Shi that she would not get sick, she felt a little uncomfortable that night. The next morning, she woke up and found that she had a fever. Not only that, but she also had body pain and fatigue, a stuffy nose and difficulty breathing, and her voice was hoarse.

Yuxi said: "I made a prescription, and people caught it and boiled it. Everyone in the yard will drink a bowl for prevention."

Zisu didn't hesitate because Yuxi had prescribed such a prescription before, so she had nothing to be afraid of. Then he ordered someone to take the prescription to get the medicine, then went to the kitchen, and said, "When the medicine comes back, cook it, and everyone who waits in the yard will drink it."

After a while, a little maid came over and had a word with Zisu. Zisu's complexion was not very good-looking, and she walked into the room and said to Yuxi: "I just got the news that the third girl is also sick. The symptoms are the same as the girl."

Yuxi yelled: "This is because I have troubled the third sister." At that time, Yuxi should not have been dragged in, maybe Yuchen would not get sick. Thinking of this, Yuxi felt a little guilty.

Zisu said: "What is implicated? I think it's 100% that Madam got sick and gave it to you." You were fine yesterday, but you fell ill after going to the Biteng Courtyard. It is very likely that you were infected by Wu of.

The one who thinks like Zisu is Mammy. When Mammy Gui heard that Yuxi was also sick, she said, "Girl, I'm afraid I got sick because I went to see my wife yesterday." It is also very clear that it is much stronger than Yuchen's. Even Yuxi was infected, which shows the lethality of this disease.

Yuchen felt that it was very possible: "When will the doctor come?" The doctor will come earlier, and he will suffer less.

Yuxi waited here for a long time before the doctor came, and couldn't help muttering: "Why did the doctor come so slowly today." Generally speaking, the doctor arrives in less than an hour. It's almost noon, and the doctor hasn't come yet. If she didn't come again, she would want to prescribe her own prescription, it was too uncomfortable.

Zisu said: "The imperial physician has come and is seeing Miss San in Tingyun Pavilion. I'll be here later." Afraid that Yuxi would feel uncomfortable, Zisu said: "The imperial physician's medical skills are better than Doctor Bai's. It’s okay to wait a while.”

Yuxi really didn't have the energy to complain. Who said that the medical skills of imperial physicians must be higher than those of folk doctors? Some doctors have better medical skills than the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, but these people don't like to be restrained, so they don't want to go to the imperial hospital.

By the time of lunch, the imperial physician hadn't come yet. Yuxi couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered Bingmei to say: "Go and see what's going on?"

Bingmei came back soon, and said: "The imperial physician was supposed to come over after seeing Miss San. But Mrs. Chen went to Tingyun Pavilion and invited the doctor to Biteng Courtyard."

After hearing this, Yu Xi didn't know how to complain: "You actually robbed me of the doctor? Really..." Wu Shi was not afraid of being ashamed of even robbing her of the doctor.

Zi Su was a little annoyed: "Third Madam saw the doctor yesterday and prescribed a prescription. Even if the imperial doctor wants to help her see it, she should wait until the young lady reads it. What's the matter?"

Yuxi smiled lightly: "Maybe my mother is really uncomfortable and doesn't want to wait any longer. Well, I'm also uncomfortable, and I don't want to wait anymore. I'll write the prescription, and you write it."

Zi Su looked at Yu Xi in horror and said, "Girl, this is absolutely impossible."

No matter what Yuxi said, Zisu didn't want to live or die, and Yuxi herself was too weak to move, so she couldn't help Zisu, so she could only wait for the imperial doctor in torment.

It was not until the end of noon that the imperial physician came. As soon as he walked into Tao Ranju, the imperial doctor smelled a smell of medicine, and said with an uneasy expression: "Since you have invited the doctor, why do you want the old man to come?"

Bingmei, who was leading the way, said doubtfully: "Doctor Zhang, our girl has been waiting for you, so we didn't invite another doctor!"

Physician Zhang's expression became even more wrong after hearing this, and he said, "Since no doctor was invited, why is there a smell of medicine in the yard?"

Hearing this, Bingmei smiled and said: "We drink this medicine to prevent us from getting infected." Speaking of this, Bingmei quickly explained: "This medicine was prescribed by my girl. Mama learned medicine. So when she got sick today, someone got medicine and boiled it for us to drink."

Doctor Zhang's complexion is getting worse, how can he drink this medicine casually: "You just let her mess around, what if someone dies after taking it?"

Bingmei smiled and said: "We asked the doctor at the pharmacy, and the doctor at the pharmacy said that the prescription was okay, so we caught it." Zisu was also afraid that there was something wrong with Yuxi's prescription, so in order to prevent any problem, she would ask the doctor to read it Catch again.

Doctor Zhang did not speak. After entering the room, looking at Yuxi's immature face lying on the bed, her heart sank again. If it wasn't for what Bingmei said later, he would have taught Yuxi a lesson.

Yuxi looked at the imperial doctor with a straight face, and looked at Zisu and Bingmei strangely. Seeing Bingmei shaking her head at her with a bitter face, Yuxi also kept her words to herself tactfully.

When Physician Zhang got up, he looked at Yu Xi and said, "After reading a few medical books, I thought that I could just change the prescription if I understood the medical skills. Do you know that this will kill people?"

Now Yuxi knew why Doctor Zhang would straighten her face as if she owed him a debt, and she didn't argue with Doctor Zhang, which would leave a bad impression on people. Yuxi just said weakly: "This prescription is left by my mother, and I have used it before. If the imperial physician thinks it is not good, then please ask the imperial physician to take a look." Chinese medicine has this benefit, even if it cannot cure the disease , and will not eat dead people. Of course, if there are poisonous medicinal materials, it's another matter.

Doctor Zhang really took the prescription and read it. After reading it, he looked at Mrs. Yuxi with complicated eyes. Putting down the prescription, nodded lightly and said: "This prescription is fine." After finishing speaking, he went out and prescribed the prescription outside.

What Yuxi didn't expect was that the eldest aunt was also sick, and the symptoms were the same as Yuxi's. Yuxi said depressedly: "I told my aunt not to come near me, but I still got infected." Fortunately, this is just ordinary typhoid fever, and it will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine. Like her now, she feels much lighter after taking a dose of medicine, and she can recover within a few days, so she doesn't worry about it.

If it is in modern times, everyone knows that this situation is the flu. Yuxi didn't know it was flu, but she told Tao Ranju's maid to drink a bowl of medicinal soup every morning and evening. Of course, the effect is also very obvious, more or less people in other yards are sick, but everyone in Tao Ranju is fine except for Yuxi.

ps: I remember in August, when I happily said that I hadn’t had a cold for a year, which was great. As a result, I caught a cold the next day, o(╯□╰)o (to be continued)
