Chapter 159 Teaching Doctors to Treat Smallpox
Qi Yanzhou trusted Ye Chutang very much, so naturally he would not be on guard against her.
He nodded, "Of course, I will give you the list when I go to the Shangshu Mansion to send the wild geese tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow, but don't go too early, around 9:00 p.m."
She had to go to Xinglin Hall at 11:00 am tomorrow morning to talk to the doctors about how to prevent smallpox.
I also have to talk to Shopkeeper Lin about buying medicinal herbs, which will take almost an hour.
"Okay, see you at 9 o'clock."
After Ye Chutang left the teahouse, he found an empty corner and changed his clothes.
She went underground to the warehouses of various cloth shops and stored the kapok and reed fluff needed for the winter into her space.
When she saw animal furs, she accepted them and gave just the right amount of silver.
After finishing the work, it was already curfew time.
Ye Chutang went to the carpentry shop.
The shelves, cabinets and boxes she had previously ordered have all been completed.
Not only was the warehouse full, but there were also a lot of things piled up in the yard.
She put them all into the space and returned to the Shangshu Mansion.
Ningchu Courtyard is brightly lit.
Ye Jingchuan sat on a chair in the main room, dozing off little by little.
Because he was the head of the family, Shan'er served him by the side.
When she saw Ye Chutang coming back, she said loudly, "Miss, you're back."
The sudden sound startled Ye Jingchuan and he almost fell off his chair.
He stood up and looked at Ye Chutang unhappily.
Just as he was about to give her a lecture, Ye Chutang said first, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm very sleepy and don't feel like listening."
“…”
Ye Jingchuan knew that he couldn't win the argument with Ye Chutang, so he swallowed his scolding.
"I have divorced Kong Ru. This is an explanation to your mother."
Ye Chutang had already experienced Ye Jingchuan's shamelessness and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Get to the point."
"Chu'er, can you please talk to King Chen and ask him to spare Zhi'er? Although Zhi'er is stupid and bad, his crime does not deserve the death penalty."
The Ye family has few members, so he wants to save the eldest son and expand the Ye family.
Ye Chutang chuckled mockingly.
"Dad, are you getting old and confused? The Dali Temple belongs to the royal family. You should ask the emperor for help. Prince Chen is just a junior minister. He has no right to release a scum who killed his mother."
Beichen Kingdom places great emphasis on filial piety, and Ye Jingchuan dared not bring bad luck upon the emperor with this matter.
"Chu'er, as long as Prince Chen can convince the two officials who saw the truth, he can prove that Zhi'er was forced to kill his mother."
In this way, Zhier could be beaten with thirty sticks at most and the matter would be settled.
Ye Chutang poked Ye Jingchuan on the forehead.
"Is this filled with shit? Why would King Chen sacrifice his reputation to help a scumbag?"
Ye Jingchuan rubbed his painful forehead and said shamelessly: "As long as you ask, King Chen will definitely agree."
"I want Ye Anzhi to die. It's impossible to save him. If you want to save him, there is a way."
"What is the solution?"
Ye Chutang approached Ye Jingchuan and said in a low voice: "Kill the emperor, and the new emperor will ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world."
Ye Jingchuan: “…”
What a freak of a thing he had fathered!
"I've told you the solution, you can go now."
Ye Jingchuan was so angry that his heart ached and he pointed at the tray on the table.
On the tray was a plain silk red veil and finest embroidery thread.
"Don't be away from home all day, hurry up and embroider the veil."
"Got it, go now."
After Ye Jingchuan left, Ye Chutang asked Shan'er to help her get water for a bath.
While Shan'er was adjusting the water temperature, he asked nervously, "Miss, if you marry Prince Chen, will you take us to the palace?"
Both she and Jinzhi were unclean and could not be dowry maids.
Ye Chutang put her hair up and said, "I won't take you to the palace. I have other plans for you."
Those who were exiled were officials and their families.
Maids were usually made into military prostitutes, while servants were sent to do hard labor.
Naturally, she would not let Shan'er and Jinzhi suffer like this.
Although Shan'er felt a little regretful that she couldn't go to the palace to serve Ye Chutang, she was fine as long as the eldest lady didn't give up on them.
"I will obey the young lady."
"You should go and rest. The next few days will definitely be very busy."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Shan'er closed the door of her boudoir and went back to the left room to rest.
After taking a bath, Ye Chutang also went to sleep.
The next day.
Half past the Mao hour.
Ye Chutang woke up and forced himself to get up.
After packing up, she had a simple breakfast and went out to Xinglin Hall.
Xinglintang is closed this morning and does not sell medicinal materials.
The lobby was full of doctors, at least fifty of them.
Even Xue Dong rushed over from the palace.
Ye Chutang arrived at Xinglin Hall a quarter of an hour early and found that everyone had already arrived and was waiting for her.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Doctor Xue said, "Miss Ye's medical skills are amazing, and I should wait for you."
Shopkeeper Lin brought in a comfortable armchair and asked the medicine boy to place ice basins on both sides to cool off.
"Miss Ye, do you want to start now or take a break?"
"Let's start now. The wedding is coming up soon, so I'm a bit busy."
Hearing this, everyone congratulated him.
Ye Chutang didn't want to waste time, so he interrupted and said, "Let's talk business."
She first talked about the origin, transmission routes, symptoms, and treatment methods of smallpox.
It was so detailed that all the doctors were amazed.
Shopkeeper Lin was very glad that he had the foresight to arrange for a servant to copy down Ye Chutang's words in advance.
He asked, "Miss Ye, how can we prevent smallpox?"
"Vaccination."
Ye Chutang explained in detail the method of using cowpox vaccination to prevent and treat smallpox.
The doctors frowned when they heard this and looked at Xue Dong.
"Dr. Xue, what do you think?"
Although Xue Dong understood what Ye Chutang said, he was somewhat skeptical about the use of cowpox vaccination to prevent and treat smallpox.
"Sounds like fighting fire with fire."
Ye Chutang shook his head, "It's prevention, not treatment."
She had long guessed that her opinion would not be accepted by the doctors.
Because cowpox is smallpox in cows.
It is horrifying to think about planting cow smallpox in a normal person's body.
"You must think I'm talking nonsense, so why not try this method when smallpox breaks out? What if it works?"
After that, she stood up and said, "Everyone can go now."
Shopkeeper Lin knew that Ye Chutang wanted to talk to him about medicinal materials, so he immediately asked the medicine boy to send the doctors away.
The doctors felt that the trip was in vain and returned disappointed.
Xue Dong felt that Ye Chutang was not the kind of person who would act without purpose, so he decided to find an opportunity to give it a try.
