Yuan Chaochang had just been scolded by his old father, and could only leave with a reluctant heart and a grumble.
The marriage process of Prince Rong and Mur Yunrong went very quickly. All the procedures were completed in three months, and the wedding day arrived.
All the Yuan'an nobles can understand this. After all, Prince Rong is already quite old, and it is normal for him to be anxious to have a son.
Prince Rong's wedding was held in a particularly grand manner. On that day, the emperor, empress, and queen mother all came to Prince Rong's mansion, and all the emperor's princes who were in school were also present.
Of course, the noble ministers of Yuan'an could not be absent. Zhou Qiongyue and her family of four went. In addition to the obvious gifts, there was also an extra box, which was held by Yuan Chaokang throughout the whole process.
After the wedding was over and Prince Rong was personally seeing the guests off, Zhou Qiongyue took the box from Yuan Chaokang's hand, handed it to Prince Rong, and instructed:
"Cousin, this contains the farm you asked your cousin to look after. Take a look at it when you have time! Your cousin and your brother-in-law wish you a happy wedding and a son soon."
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she left with Yuan Bohua without waiting for Prince Rong to refuse. Yuan Chaochang also hurriedly followed.
Yuan Chaokang saluted Prince Rong and said encouragingly, "Fifth uncle, your nephew also wishes you a son soon."
After saying this, Yuan Chaokang ran away quickly.
"This child..." Prince Rong looked at the box in his hand, feeling warm in his heart, all because of his cousin's kindness to him.
At this time, Prince Rong was also thinking that it would be nice if he and the princess could have two legitimate sons as cute as Chang'er and Kang'er.
The confidant around Prince Rong was about to take it, but Prince Rong did not give it to him and went straight to the study with the box.
As for personally seeing off the guests, the Queen Mother, the Emperor's brother, and his cousin were all gone, so who else needed Prince Rong to see them off personally?
Prince Rong put the box away personally before heading to the main courtyard.
Finally, she got back all the other people's properties that she was in charge of, and the cousin who was so good to her finally got married. Zhou Qiongyue felt extremely relaxed.
When Zhou Qiongyue relaxed, she thought of a problem. De Ge'er from her eldest brother's family and Yan Ge'er from her fifth brother's family were both ten years old and had reached the age to be vaccinated against cowpox.
When will Doctor Zhao prepare to present the credit for curing cowpox to the emperor?
Now Zhou Qiongyue didn't know where Doctor Zhao had gone. Zhou Qiongyue wanted to take a back door, but there was no other doctor in the mansion who could help her.
Since she thought of this, Zhou Qiongyue asked about this topic when she and Yuan Bohua were lying in bed at night.
"Do you know which army Doctor Zhao went to?" Although Zhou Qiongyue asked this, she felt in her heart that Yuan Bohua knew.
Because everything that happened afterwards was arranged by Yuan Bohua, Zhou Qiongyue actually wanted to ask Doctor Zhao if something had happened. Why hadn't it been reported even after so many years?
When Zhou Qiongyue asked him, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Yue'er about what happened next with Doctor Zhao.
No one in the mansion has been sick recently, and his father-in-law and brother-in-law are also quite healthy. He was curious about why Yue'er suddenly thought of asking Doctor Zhao, "Why did Yue'er think of asking Doctor Zhao?"
"Early brother De and fifth brother Yan are old enough to be vaccinated against smallpox. It would be more reassuring if they were vaccinated."
Although the fifth sister-in-law, Yu, is not likable, Zhou Qiongyue also feels sorry for Yan'er. He is the fifth brother's eldest son. If anything happens to him, the fifth brother will be sad.
Yuan Bohua had personally experienced the benefits of cowpox vaccination. At that time, he was in close contact with the eldest prince every day, but he was not infected.
The eldest brother and the fifth brother have always been very kind to Yue'er and the two children. Yuan Bohua also thinks that the two children should be vaccinated against smallpox.
“In fact, Doctor Zhao did not choose to join the army, but returned to his hometown and worked as a doctor there.
Doctor Zhao vaccinated people in the surrounding area against cowpox. Later, his vaccination became popular and he took in more than a dozen apprentices.
Starting from Doctor Zhao's hometown, the news spread outward, and many places among the people had already privately vaccinated against cowpox. However, the local gentry did not believe it, and the people called Doctor Zhao a "god".
After hearing what Yuan Bohua said, Zhou Qiongyue sat up suddenly and looked at Yuan Bohua in confusion, "Then why didn't anyone report it?"
Yuan Bohua immediately hugged him and covered him with a blanket. "Just talk, why are you sitting up? It's so cold outside!"
Zhou Qiongyue felt cold as soon as she sat up, but she still excused herself by saying, "I'm just a little curious."
Yuan Bohua hugged Yue'er and said slowly, "Maybe there hasn't been an outbreak of smallpox in Tianyuan Country in recent years, so the local officials don't know whether it's true or not, so they're probably just waiting and watching!
Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime, but if it is true, it is a great achievement.
But they may not believe it in their hearts. Smallpox has always been a terrible disease, so how can it be prevented so easily? "
"What should we do now?" Zhou Qiongyue said while playing with Yuan Bohua's hair.
Yuan Bohua patted Zhou Qiongyue on the back and said, "Go to sleep first! Tomorrow I will go to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to ask my father-in-law and elder brother."
Yuan Bohua thought that since his father-in-law and elder brother knew about this matter, he might as well ask them tomorrow if they had any plans!
Zhou Qiongyue was already very sleepy, and now someone took over the follow-up matters of the meeting. Zhou Qiongyue relaxed and fell asleep immediately.
Yuan Bohua was about to say something when he heard Yue'er snoring in his arms. He smiled softly and fell asleep too.
It was not until the afternoon of the second day that Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua took Yuan Chaokang to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion. As for why they did not bring Yuan Chaochang, it was because Yuan Chaochang had to study hard in the mansion.
Yuan Chaochang wanted to try next year, but he definitely needed to work hard. There were always people better than him, and Yuan Chaochang felt it would be embarrassing if he couldn't even pass the imperial examination.
When Jin heard that her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson had arrived, she remained calm. She simply instructed her attendants to prepare a few more dishes that her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson would like for dinner. Then she stood up and went out to greet them.
It wasn't Jin's fault for not being excited. She had just met her daughter yesterday at Prince Rong's wedding banquet, and her daughter had been by her side the entire time.
Moreover, Jin had not heard from the Marquis that anything major had happened in Yuan'an recently.
Jin thought that her daughter must be bringing her son-in-law back for dinner again, so she certainly had nothing to be excited about.
Just as Jin had imagined, Zhou Qiongyue spent the entire afternoon chatting with Jin and her sister-in-law.
However, Jin couldn't help but worry about her daughter and asked, "What happened today?"
Zhou Qiongyue sat and spoke casually in front of her mother and sister-in-law. "The prince wants to talk to my father and elder brother. I also want to ask about the two noble ladies I mentioned earlier."
