She turned to look at him, and he said seriously, "Silly girl, you only know how to work hard and don't think too much. For such a big matter, even the imperial physician from the palace has come. You take up this title yourself, aren't you afraid of being tabooed?"
Tang Shiyue scratched her hair embarrassedly: "I haven't had time to think about it! Things keep pushing me forward, there's no time to stop and think!"
"I know," Young Master Meng was a little proud, with the corners of his mouth raised, "I know you only want to do things with a clear conscience, and you didn't save these people for fame. But you also need to understand the ways of the world. Many things are not as simple as you think! But don't worry, haven't I considered everything for you? Pat the emperor's ass, and the emperor will naturally not be angry with you, and everyone will be happy."
On the surface, he appears to be very "romantic and cool", but his puppy eyes, which seem to beg for compliments and pats on the head, reveal what he is thinking.
Why didn’t I realize before that Young Master Meng was so cute?
Although Tang Shiyue had never seen Ding Jiu, in this situation, Ding Jiu must be watching her somewhere.
But on the surface, the two of them were standing quite far away from everyone, so it was safe for them to chat about gossip.
Tang Shiyue's expression was flawless, and she continued to whisper to Meng Yiqiu: "Hey, come to think of it, have you ever seen the emperor?"
"I have seen her!" Meng Yiqiu, who had only seen her from a distance, said shamelessly, "My cousin is the emperor's concubine, of course I have seen her!"
She asked, "What does the emperor look like?"
...
...
Meng Yiqiu coughed and said, "Very...very handsome and extraordinary." He rolled his eyes and said, "Haven't you seen that 'Yan Dong'? He looks quite similar to the emperor."
Tang Shiyue was "startled" and her eyes widened: "Yandong looks like the emperor? Then... then who is he?"
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone," Meng Yiqiu said seriously, "He is the prince."
Tang Shiyue was really surprised this time: "Prince?"
Meng Yiqiu nodded mysteriously, and Tang Shiyue was surprised and said, "But he is not arrogant at all. He can chat with everyone in my family. I even asked him to help me stretch the thread when I was knitting a sweater."
Meng Yiqiu was also a little surprised: "Really?" He immediately changed the subject: "Then I'll help you stretch it next time."
Tang Shiyue laughed secretly in his heart.
Although I had to say a few taboo words deliberately, I couldn't go too far. Fortunately, Young Master Meng's thoughts were as jumping as usual.
In fact, the two of them didn't get to talk for much, as Qing Weilai stepped forward to interrupt them, so they continued to be busy.
Tang Shiyue also found dozens of eloquent people among those who had been vaccinated and went around preaching knowledge about smallpox to everyone.
After several days, dozens of doctors were exhausted.
Dongfeng County is not big, and the entire county is estimated to have only a few thousand people, but people from neighboring counties also heard the news and moved, and the total number of people may be as high as 20,000 to 30,000.
But for those who were farther away, their impression of Lady Fu was limited to the incident of being struck by lightning, and many people thought it was a false rumor. When they heard about the smallpox epidemic, of course they stayed as far away from her as possible.
But even so, this incident was considered one of the most sensational events in the Ming Dynasty.
This matter has already spread to the capital.
Impeachment memorials were piled up in the court, and some censors even directly impeached the emperor. But Emperor Ming Yandi kept all of them in his palace and did not send them out.
It's a matter of concept.
You know, human pox had gone through a long road in the past, and cowpox had also gone through countless doubts. At this time, Tang Shiyue directly skipped the process and took one step to the result. Cowpox was like a sudden appearance, and it was fighting against smallpox, which everyone was afraid of...
It was an earthquake and a tsunami.
Finally, the prince took the initiative to ask for permission to go to Qinzhou, and Emperor Mingyan actually agreed.
It shocked the government and the public.
After all, the crown prince is in danger and the impact of this matter is too great.
Many people believed that this was because Emperor Ming Yan was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince.
But the truly smart people remained silent.
Even if Emperor Mingyan was really dissatisfied with the crown prince, as a king and father, he would not let him go to his death. Therefore, this just shows that Emperor Mingyan had enough confidence in this.
This may be to give credit to the prince.
Could it be that this unbelievable and unheard-of "cowpox" could actually happen?
Who will be able to surpass this tremendous achievement in the future?
There are no stupid people in high positions. So after the bigwigs in the court calmed down, the court became strangely quiet.
Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the moment when the answer would be revealed.
At this time, on Changshou Slope, the first group of people went over to continue to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. Finally, the number of people gradually decreased, and everyone could take turns to go back and rest. Not to mention the delicate ones like Tang Shiyue and Meng Yiqiu, even Qing Weilai, who was good at kung fu, was exhausted.
Counting the days, it has been twelve days since the smallpox vaccination in Jubao Village.
In the past two days, brown scabs have formed on everyone's wounds.
According to Tang Shiyue, this is already a success.
Observe for another two days until the scabs fall off and scars remain, which means it is completely successful. Then you need to blow acne powder into the nostrils to confirm again.
Tang Shiyue was the second one to be vaccinated, and it was Su Ji who did it.
Because the vaccination was done on the left upper arm, the woman couldn't pull her clothes up so high, so the incision was made through the clothes. The old man was quite rude and left a long line on her arm, which was more than two inches long.
Tang Shiyue was just lifting up her clothes to take a closer look when Meng Yiqiu came in.
Meng Yiqiu was a young man from a wealthy family. He felt it was disrespectful when he saw the woman's arm. To ease the embarrassment, he mocked her: "Your wound is so ugly, mine is much better!" He rolled up his clothes to show her.
Unexpectedly, Tang Shiyue got angry immediately, "Yours is ugly! You are the ugliest! You are an ugly freak!"
She pushed him out.
Meng Yiqiu was a little confused. He wanted to go in but didn't dare to. After thinking about it, he ran out to find Qiao Sangyu and asked her to come over to see her.
When Qiao Sangyu went in to see, Tang Shiyue was leaning on the table, her shoulders twitching and she was crying silently. Qiao Sangyu was startled when she saw her: "Master?" She hugged her with both hands: "Are you okay?"
Tang Shiyue cried, "It's ugly, so ugly."
Qiao Sangyu coaxed her softly, "She's not ugly, not ugly at all. She will grow up soon. Master, don't listen to what Master Meng says. She's really not ugly at all."
People who cry are most afraid of being comforted.
Tang Shiyue would have been fine if she just cried a little, but after her gentle coaxing, she burst into tears and was out of breath for a while.
Qiao Sangyu had never seen her like this before, and her heart ached. She hugged her and patted her back.
She cried, "Ayu, I miss Ajing, I miss him... I want Ajing to come back, please ask him to come back, I want him to be by my side all the time..."
Meng Yiqiu who was outside, Qing Weile who had just arrived, and Ren Dong and Xia Yuhui, a few grown men, just stood outside, quietly listening to the crying inside.
In fact, she was just a young girl.
Such a terrible epidemic, tens of thousands of lives and deaths, they are trembling with fear every day and can't sleep at night... What about her? Is she really as calm as she appears? Is she confident?
But she is a blessed lady, she is placed on a high pedestal, everyone looks at her, believes in her, and depends on her... She has to be strong, has to hold up everything, and has to appear fearless.
But the person who can stand by her side to support her and tolerate her anxiety is not here.
Qing Weiliao suddenly said to Meng Yiqiu, "Knowing that she is already engaged, you still want to interfere. This is not a gentleman's behavior."
Meng Yiqiu snorted, "I am a villain."
