Chapter 669: The girl who washes her feet wants to take the top position (12)
"Your daughter is suffering from measles, which is contagious." Ma Jingyang washed his hands and face with the herbs prepared by the waiter, and then began to speak to everyone.
The result of measles has been diagnosed by Western doctors. What the Zong family is concerned about now is whether this disease can be cured. The eldest wife asked first.
"Expose the patient's clothes in the sun, isolate the patient, let the patient rest in bed, and ventilate the room frequently to keep the air fresh. If there are symptoms of photophobia, the light in the room should be soft; give easy-to-digest nutritious food and replenish sufficient water; keep the skin and mucous membranes clean, and keep the mouth moist and clean. Rinse the mouth with salt water, and repeat several times a day." Ma Jingyang gave the waiter a look, and the waiter ran out from nowhere. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were laid out. Ma Jingyang wrote quickly, and everyone could only see the traces of his wrist movement. "Once you find rashes on the palms and soles of the hands and feet, it means that the rash has completely appeared and the patient has entered the recovery period."
"I'll have my clerk bring the prepared Chinese medicine over later. Take it three times a day, and it will be cured in two weeks." Ma Jingyang stuffed the prescription into the clerk's hand, looked at the little girl and the old nanny who were showing signs of illness in the room, and said casually, "Boil a few more doses, and give them to everyone who has come into contact with the young lady and the two people in the room."
Zong Ying didn't expect that Ma Jingyang had a solution to a problem that even Western doctors had difficulty with. She really admired him and quickly signaled Wu'er to prepare the money.
In the room, Shi Yi felt that her head was beginning to get heavy. She picked up the paper list written by Nanny Zhang and flew out, "It's just that the names of the people that Nanny Zhang had contact with today are all on it. I didn't take the initiative to contact anyone except Sister Sui'er today. I suggest that if there is a preventive medicine, give a few prescriptions to everyone in the mansion."
Ma Jingyang's eyes moved slightly. He actually missed some key information just now. Measles is transmitted from person to person, and the transmission speed is very fast. If it is not prevented in place, then the spread will be very terrible. In this city, more than a hundred years ago, there was a measles epidemic, and many people died at that time. It was his ancestors who risked their lives to test the medicine and found this prescription. He hurriedly gave a remedy and wrote a prescription for his clerk, "This is a preventive herbal medicine, and each person should drink it three times a day. Everyone in the mansion must drink it. You have to drink it too."
The clerk nodded hurriedly.
As an apprentice, when can he feel the day of success? That must be now-when the master handed the most important prescription to him without hiding it. He was confident that he would be able to complete the task entrusted by the master.
Zong Ying knew that the doctor's prescriptions were all private, so he didn't ask some stupid questions. He took the heavy bag from Wu'er's hand and put it in front of Ma Jingyang, saying sincerely, "Anyway, thanks to Doctor Ma's help, this is a little gift from our Zong family. I hope you won't refuse it."
Ma Jingyang's medical practice was to save the world and save people. He opened the bag and took out the smallest piece of silver as the consultation fee, and left here with his hands behind his back.
After he left, everyone regained their spirits. Especially the second wife, who had more strength to push the door open. Her soft voice kept shouting at her daughter lying on the bed, "Good girl Yuanyuan, be patient, your mother is always outside to watch over you."
When Yuanyuan heard her mother's voice, for the first time, she was not happy or excited, but afraid. She shrank into the corner.
Shi Yi looked at Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang looked at the second wife outside the door, sighed deeply, and said, "What a sin, what a sin."
What sin? Shi Yi didn't understand, and of course he couldn't ask this question in front of so many people.
"Since the second wife loves her daughter so much, set up a tent for the second wife in the courtyard." Zong Ying looked at the old housekeeper and said dignifiedly, "As long as the eldest lady's illness is not cured, the second wife will not leave here."
"Master~" The second wife cried out sadly, but only caught a silhouette of him when he left. Is it appropriate for her, a wife, to live in this courtyard? If the news got out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to her reputation and the reputation of the clan? She didn't have time to say the words she had prepared.
"Since the eldest lady's illness has been cured. As a woman, I have to take care of the young master. There is no point in staying here, so I'll go back first." After the third wife asked the first wife for instructions, her eyes fell on the second wife, thinking, it's what she deserves. It's really stupid to compete for favor at this time. Giving this sister a sympathetic look, she hugged her son and returned to her Qiu Garden.
She noticed that Ma Jingyang washed his hands with a medicine bag when he came out. The medicine bag should be very useful. She had to find an opportunity to get it.
"Others, go too. Those who have not had contact with people in the East Courtyard should not approach the East Courtyard in the future." The first wife stared sharply at the maids who were peeking out from behind the corridor. If she remembered correctly, these maids were all from the second wife Lan Maner's room. Lan Maner was a casual and undisciplined person. She couldn't teach her children well, and the servants couldn't teach her well either. It seems that as the eldest wife, she has to find time to discipline the people in Xiayuan.
"Miss, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want to eat something delicious? Do you want to drink water?" Shi Yi patiently coaxed the little girl who was curled up in the corner. An adult often can't stand the discomfort of measles, let alone a child under seven years old.
"No, no." Yuanyuan's voice was very sharp, and it can be heard that she inherited her mother's good voice.
The second wife outside the door heard her daughter's voice, and her face was worried and impatient. She shook her handkerchief in annoyance and walked to the most remote corner.
The eldest wife looked at her thin figure who left like a demon, and then looked at the room with a small gap, and her heart became more calculating.
"Miss, except for the bowl of porridge before, you haven't eaten anything all day." Aunt Zhang came to her side with red eyes.
Yuanyuan hugged her and began to cry silently. In front of the nanny who loved her the most, she didn't have to pretend.
"Miss, the second wife loves you in her heart. Don't hate her." Aunt Zhang wiped her tears and held down her hand that wanted to scratch. Her voice was broken. "If it hurts or if you feel uncomfortable, you can scratch me or bite me. I am thick-skinned and not afraid of pain. I am just afraid that you will feel uncomfortable."
"Aunt, why are you not my mother? She is my mother." Yuanyuan grabbed her hand and bit it hard. All the pain was swallowed into her stomach with this sob.
