Chapter 526 Xiaoman is sick
The Qiongya Trading Company was suppressed and in decline, but Xiao Yan's business was thriving.
Half a year after arriving in Qiongzhou, Xiao Yan has become the new leader in Qiongzhou.
And the time came to August 13th.
Today is Xiaoman’s birthday.
Lu Qiniang had always hoped that he could be reborn on the 15th and have the same birthday as Xiao Yan.
But the situation was urgent and he had to come out two days earlier.
Everyone in the family was silent that day.
Even San Ya, who was always chattering, shut up quietly.
Xiaoman is the pain that cannot be mentioned in this family, and it is the same for everyone.
Meanwhile, in Beijing, Xiaoman encountered the biggest challenge since his birth.
He was ill, very ill.
Zhang Heyao has taken three days off and is accompanying him at his private residence.
When Xiaoman was sick, she would not let anyone else stay with her except him, not even the wet nurse.
The night was as dark as ink, and the hustle and bustle of the house during the day had long since sunk into dead silence. Only a few plain gauze lanterns under the corridor struggled in the night wind that passed through the hall.
Xiaoman lay in Zhang Heyao's arms, clutching his clothes with both hands, her face flushed red, she coughed weakly, and there seemed to be phlegm in her throat that she couldn't cough out.
"Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he been invited here yet?" Zhang Heyao's forehead and nose were covered in sweat. He paced around the room and shouted angrily.
Sun Shun hurriedly said, "Sir, I've sent someone to invite them. I've sent someone to invite them."
I just don’t know if I can invite anyone.
It's not that Zhang Heyao's reputation has declined and he can't even invite the imperial physician, but——
But I have basically invited all the imperial physicians that can be hired.
They all said they were helpless and if we invited them again, I'm afraid they wouldn't be willing to come.
"Go and urge them, go and urge them immediately!" Zhang Heyao shouted out of control.
After more than ten years of working outside, he has long developed the ability to keep his emotions hidden.
But now, he was in a state of panic.
He is scared.
He felt a fragile little life that seemed to be leaving him irretrievably.
No, you can’t, Xiaoman, you can’t get into trouble.
Dad can't bear to leave you, and your mother is thousands of miles away and is worried about you.
If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to explain to your mother?
Half an hour later, Sun Shun went there in person and invited the last imperial physician who had never been to the hospital.
This Imperial Physician Zheng was practically dragged in by Sun Shun.
"Doctor Zheng!" Zhang Heyao's eyes were red and full of tears.
Doctor Zheng was frightened by his appearance.
To be honest, I have seen it before.
This newly appointed Minister of Revenue is the youngest Minister in the history of this dynasty. He is full of vigor and has an imposing bearing.
Wherever he goes, who doesn’t look at him?
But now, it has become like this.
"Master Zhang, please be patient and wait for me to come and see you. Please put the child down first."
"No, my son cries as soon as he leaves my arms. Doctor Zheng, please check on him."
"Alright—"
Doctor Zheng has been practicing medicine for many years and is accustomed to seeing life and death.
Although it is human nature for parents to love their children.
But this was the first time he had seen a father express such passionate and explicit love for his child.
The others are basically women who are so close to hysterical.
This Lord Shangshu, turns out to be such a person.
Xiaoman's condition is obviously very bad.
Doctor Zheng did not dare to delay and examined him immediately.
But soon, Doctor Zheng frowned.
"Doctor, how is my son? Whatever medicine he needs, just tell me, please. Even if there are risks, I am willing to try."
At this point, even if he continued to deceive himself, Zhang Heyao understood that Xiaoman was in imminent danger.
"Wait a moment."
Doctor Zheng took out a bamboo tube from the medicine box. It was about the thickness of a little finger and was polished to an extremely smooth surface.
"Use this! Hold his head still, pinch his mouth open, and have the servants use this to suck out the filth."
"Someone come and help!" Zhang Heyao took the bamboo tube from Doctor Zheng.
Sun Shun and the maid in the house came forward.
"Come, help hold Xiaoman down." Zhang Heyao's voice was trembling as he directed everyone.
The next moment, Doctor Zheng was shocked to see that Zhang Heyao actually did it himself. He carefully inserted the bamboo tube into Xiaoman's mouth and sucked out the filth for him.
this--
Imperial Physician Zheng never expected that Zhang Heyao, the most powerful official in the court, would actually do such a thing.
Such a sincere love for his son is really touching.
It is also said that Zhang Heyao is a father who adopted the son of a prostitute.
Doctor Zheng really wanted to ask the person who said this to come and see him.
What man in a high position can do this for his children!
Not to mention those who are not biological children, even among biological children, few can do it.
It's his biological child, definitely his biological child, Doctor Zheng thought firmly.
Zhang Heyao sucked out a lot of phlegm for Xiaoman, rinsed his mouth, and didn't even have time to wipe the water droplets from the corners of his mouth before asking anxiously, "What should we do next?"
"Your son is too young to use medicine," said Doctor Zheng. "I'll try acupuncture and scraping. But after that, he still needs to be kept by someone. Wipe his throat with cold water. If there's still phlegm blocking his throat, do the same..."
In fact, he somewhat understood why his colleagues were unwilling to help him.
Because it is too dangerous.
You can directly say that it cannot be cured, but if there is no effect after treating it for a long time, it will easily be criticized.
If Doctor Zheng had not been moved by Zhang Heyao's love for his son, he would probably have refused today as well.
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Zheng."
During the Xiaoman period, I was sick for seven days.
The newly appointed chancellor, who was the focus of everyone's attention in the court, took a ten-day leave.
After Xiaoman recovered from her illness, Zhang Heyao also fell ill.
However, even lying in bed, Zhang Heyao still felt fortunate seeing that Xiaoman, although weak, had survived the dangerous disaster.
"Sun Shun, send someone to the White Horse Temple to add one hundred taels of silver worth of incense oil." He ordered in a hoarse voice.
With weakness comes awe.
It’s better to believe it.
"yes."
Zhang Heyao was afraid that she would pass her illness on to Xiaoman, so she didn't let the wet nurse bring him to her room.
But Xiaoman can't do that, she always has to look for him.
If you don't let me, I'll cry outside.
How could Zhang Heyao bear to see him cry?
What should I do if I get sick again after crying just after recovering from a serious illness?
He thought for a moment and said to Old Lady Sun, "Take your wet nurse, the maidservants, and Xiaoman with you to visit some relatives."
"Visiting?" Old Mrs. Sun didn't understand.
"Doesn't Qi Niang have an adopted eldest daughter left in the capital?" Zhang Heyao said calmly, "You can take Xiao Man to visit her."
Zhang Heyao was worried about letting Xiaoman go to someone else's house.
But that Daya was thoughtful and careful in her work, and she was extremely smart and good at dealing with people.
She also has deep feelings for Lu Qiniang, so naturally she will only protect her brother.
Zhang Heyao doesn't have much possessiveness towards Xiaoman.
He hopes that his son can be cared for and loved by many people.
Old Lady Sun also missed Daya, so after hearing what he said, she took Xiaoman to see Daya.
After her first birthday, Xiaoman walked out of the house for the first time and met her older sister for the first time.
