Chapter 44 The Goddess Doctor

At the end of September, the crazy plague gradually subsided.

Plague broke out in Lingnan, Fujian and Zhejiang, and there were serious casualties. The court was shocked, and even Emperor Hongzhi was alarmed. He was ordered to conduct a visit to Fujian with the Nanjing Imperial College Priest, and the epidemic situation in Zhejiang and Lingnan was reported.

Xie Duo visited Fujian, Zhejiang and Lingnan for more than ten cities, and in October he compiled books with Emperor Hongzhi, who was in the capital.

"The epidemic broke out in the northeast coast of Guangdong in early summer and lasted four times in October. Four or five people died of illness in various places. Only Tingzhou Prefecture has a method of germinating acne, but not many people have been ill. The plague circulated Tingzhou Prefecture northward. In October, it has reached the river coast, and there are many people suffering from illness around Nanjing."

Only then did the court know the specific situation of the plague.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered the Ministry of Revenue to "select subordinates and prefectures and prefectures and counties to assist those with wind power" to provide disaster relief, and also visited Tingzhou Prefecture to visit the specific details of acne injections.

In Ninghua County, this round of plague has basically passed.

There was an official who came forward, and the locals were the first to suck acne. The plague lasted only two months in Ninghua County. By mid-October, those who had previously contracted the disease in Ninghua County had either died or recovered. Although many people had acne scars on their faces, they had at least left their lives.

Although the plague in Ninghua County has become a thing of the past, gentry from surrounding prefectures and counties still come to Ninghua and make special trips to Huiniang's medicine shop to catch acne.

These people from other places are either rich or noble. I heard that a "ghost doctor" has appeared in Ninghua County. These people worked tirelessly and came to "seek medical treatment" with their families.

You should know that the plagues are not just a joke these days. Even if the royal relatives are infected with the plague, they will be helpless. Thinking about the later Qing emperor Xuanye was a marijuana, you will know how worthy of being able to avoid being infected with smallpox.

Originally, Hui Niang didn't want to receive these people because the government explicitly ordered the city residents not to contact the outside world, but after all, she was compassionate and fed acne for these high-ranking officials and their families.

Although the pharmacy has not received many people during this period, the money earned is quite large.

When these people came, they all brought generous gifts and paid enough money. The big red seal was not gold or silver.

Until the end of October, even the prefectures and counties around Tingzhou Prefecture learned how to consume acne, and the number of people coming to Ninghua County to consume acne gradually decreased, and disappeared completely in ten months.

Or elsewhere are afraid of the plague, but in Ninghua County, the lives of the people returned to normal in mid-October. Every day, people come to give gifts to Hui Niang, thanking her for saving the people in the city.

Hui Niang could not resist the enthusiasm of everyone. Although the precious gifts were returned, some valuable symbolic things were left behind to express her appreciation.

On October 29th, the county government sent a plaque with the "Miscellaneous Hands to Rejuvenate the Spring", which was brought by the county magistrate Han Xie himself, followed by three yamen runners, beating drums and drums on the way.

Hui Niang was able to avoid this disaster. She made great contributions to Ninghua County. The people spontaneously followed the people from the government and gathered together to deliver the plaque.

Hui Niang was very happy. Three months ago, she was stabbed by someone for her birth dispute. Now she is respected by the people in the city. Finally, she feels that she is looking up. With mixed feelings, her face is filled with tears of happiness.

County Magistrate Han personally delivered the plaque to the door of the medicine shop and asked the yamen runners to hang the lintel. At this time, Han Xie's face was full of pride.

Because Xie Duo, the priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing, mentioned the achievements of local officials in Tingzhou Prefecture in his memorial to the court for disaster relief, and even mentioned the Korean Association. According to Xie Duo's letter, the court would soon send people to learn the experience of preventing and controlling plagues.

However, since the outbreak of the plague, County Magistrate Han has been hiding in the inner hall of the yamen, and he has not even known what happened outside. He has no way to deal with the people from the court.

"Lu Sun, look at the people in the whole city who are grateful for your kindness. I am very grateful to you. I am proud of my Ninghuan's creation of a goddess doctor like you."

Han Xie said these words, but in fact he paved the way for the later reception of imperial envoys in the court.

Now everyone in Tingzhou Prefecture knows that the reason why the fourth round of the biggest plague was able to "bypass" Tingzhou Prefecture was entirely because there was a goddess doctor in Ninghua County.

When the imperial envoy comes, he will definitely visit Ninghua. At that time, as long as Hui Niang can bring Han Xie’s name to him, there will definitely be a chance of Han Xie’s promotion.

Hui Niang was a little flattered.

If Chen Xi had not helped her in the previous case of the birth dispute, County Magistrate Han would not have helped her in the slightest. But Hui Niang didn't know this. She only knew that the government ruled her to win the lawsuit, so she was entertained from beginning to end. When Han Xie left, Hui Niang was sent to the street entrance before returning to the shop.

When the government officials left, the people outside still did not disperse. Many people knelt down to Hui Niang and expressed their gratitude for her kind behavior in saving people.

"I know the warmth and coldness of human feelings."

Chen Xi stood at the door of the medicine shop, watching Hui Niang go up to help the villagers, and couldn't help but shook her head with emotion.

These same people used to sarcastically mock Sun Huiniang. Even if Huiniang told the story of acne, these people still thought she was a harm to others.

People are terrifying. Hui Niang was under tremendous pressure when she first gave birth to acne. If the Han County Magistrate was not afraid of death, she might have been imprisoned when someone sued the official.

When the people dispersed, Hui Niang returned with relief. Chen Xi looked up at her and said, "Auntie, these people are all ungrateful wolves, and they are not worthy of your treatment of them like this."

Hui Niang touched Chen Xi's head with a little pity and smiled, but she had no complaints.

Chen Xi shook her head again. Hui Niang was a beautiful, kind, gentle and virtuous woman. She was well-educated and kind to repay her grievances with kindness. Now the villagers are grateful for her goodness and laughed at her past grievances. She never thought about revenge or demanding.

Chen Xi only regretted that he had been here a few years later and had not met a good woman like Hui Niang earlier. Otherwise, if she would marry her back, she would be a good wife and mother. Unfortunately, Hui Niang only has her dead husband in her heart.

What Chen Xi can do now is to use the knowledge in his mind to help Hui Niang and her daughter and make them live a better life.

The government sent plaques and generous gifts of condolences.

Hui Niang invited the Shen family to dinner that night.

Shen Mingjun did not come back from the Wang family. Only Zhou, Shen Xi and Lin Dai could come here. The two families gathered in a busy and lively manner.

Hui Niang and Zhou Shi started cooking, while the three little guys were playing in the room. Xier was still a little sick, but now she was like nothing happened, making me laugh like silver bells from time to time.

Chen Xi is almost thirty years old after all, and he and two little girls are getting along with each other, and they are more of the kind father pampering his daughter. It is impossible to say how much investment he is. For example, now he has found nothing and lying on the door frame of the kitchen to see the two women busy by the pot inside.

At this moment, Zhou was burning the fire. After Hui Niang put the filtered rice into the steamer, she finally got free of hands. She cleaned her hands in the wooden basin beside the stove, took out a purse from her arms, and stuffed it into Zhou's hand.

"What's the matter with my sister?"

Zhou was not sure, so he opened his wallet and saw that in addition to the silver ingots, there were also several gold leaves made of gold foil.

Chen Xi knew that gold was not circulated as currency in the mid-Ming Dynasty, and the golden leaves Hui Niang gave to Zhou were red envelopes given to those gentry from other places when they came to fuck acne.

Hui Niang looked very firm: "My sister's family helped her sister too much. If Xiaolang hadn't eaten acne for me, she might have lost her life. Now, the villagers have been loving her. These days, my sister and Xiaolang have also been taking care of her in the pharmacy. I'm afraid that my sister would think her sister is so ugly that she would feel at ease to ask her to accept me."

Zhou refused to accept it at first, but in the end he couldn't twist it. Although Hui Niang looked weak, she was very persistent in the matter of principle, so Zhou had to put the thank-you gift in her arms.

These days, although Chen Xi is young, she is halfway up in the medicine shop. All the men who come to eat acne are putting needles through the curtains. Zhou is also busy receiving and serving tea and water to deliver medicine. Now that he has to pay such a lot of money, Zhou is happy.

"That guy just has many ideas." Zhou said insidiously, his face full of pride.
