Qing Dynasty: I Rely on Games To Fight For Favor - Chapter 126
After Liang Jiugong left, Minzhu sat there for a long time, as if in a dream. After finally regaining consciousness, her body is still light and fluttering.
“Madam?” At the gate of the Forbidden City, Lao Chen watched Minzhu come out and floated past him. He hurriedly shouted in confusion.
“Huh?” Minzhu saw Lao Chen now.
“Madam, what are you?” Old Chen was worried, how come to the palace, Madam seemed to be lost.
As soon as the cold wind blew outside, Minzhu gave a sharp spirit and finally returned to her body. She was a fateful wife, she was still a fifth-grade, and she was of the same rank as Sarchat. She had never thought about it before.
“Go home!” She sighed with excitement.
“Okay, sit firmly.” Old Chen slapped his whip, and the **** horse ran forward happily with Ming’er.
Back in the house on Chess Board Street, Minzhu hadn’t told everyone the good news, and the gatekeeper Yan Yongxian greeted him. As long as Minzhu entered the palace, many caring people in Jing learned about her coming to Beijing and sent out posts inviting her to visit the palace.
“Those people are so grandiose.” Yan Yong is a rough man, and can only describe those who post in this way.
Min-joo saw the hot-stamped post and knew that the identity of the person who posted it must be unusual. Steady mind, she took the post to check it, but was still suppressed.
Prince Yu Fujin, Prince Kang Fujin, Prince Gong Fujin, and the wife of General Li Da…These people picked up one of them at random. They are all amazing people. Now they are posting to her together?
Minzhu can’t believe that she, a newly released fifth-rank pleasant or Satat’s fifth-rank side lieutenant, can have this honor, and it is not because of her daughter! It seems that Xia Mian is more capable than she thought, otherwise, how could the emperor of Jingren Palace live alone for her.
The more she thought about it, the more prosperous she became. She thought about it in the middle of the night and went to the palace again the next day to see Xia Mian.
Xia Mian was raising her fetus with peace of mind now, and as she had nothing to do, she immediately let her in.
Minzhu immediately told about the greetings and asked Xia Mian’s opinion.
Xia Mian thought for a while and asked Minzhu, “What do you think?”
Minzhu told her what she thought. These people invited her to save her face. If she doesn’t go all the way, she will inevitably lose her reputation for being aloof, and it will definitely hurt Xia Mian and Sarchat.
She is definitely going to go, but remember your identity, don’t have a deep friendship, don’t ask for more!
Xia Mian smiled, and she thought of going with her. The people like Prince Gong Fujin actually represented Prince Gong and others. They were all relatives of the emperor, relatives of the emperor, and nobles in the court. It would definitely be beneficial to befriend them.
But this kind of benefit is mutual. If Xia Mian hasn’t helped them and won’t be spoiled, would they still look at her?
The most important thing is to be strong. However, this kind of friendship is also very useful at critical times. This is also a very deep knowledge. Xia Mian was originally afraid that Minzhu would not be able to cope with it, but now she can feel relieved.
“Emam, don’t think too much, don’t worry, just go and see if you like it, and it’s okay to pretend to be sick at home if you don’t like it.” You have to make three turns in your stomach every time you say a word. In modern times, Xia Mian hates dealing with this kind of relationship, so she said this to Min Joo.
Min Joo chuckled and pretended to be sick, but she couldn’t figure it out. However, with Xia Mian’s words, she has a lot of confidence. Isn’t it just the Fujin and Madam of the princes and generals, can they still eat her?
Min Joo immediately decided to go back for the appointment.
“My mother is happy,” Xia Mian said with a smile.
Min Joo was happy, she might finally be able to help Xia Mian a little bit, instead of looking at her from afar and anxious as before.
Not to mention, Minzhu took the sincereness and heartiness of the mountains and forests, and easily won the favor of these Fujin and his wife. Even if it was not for Xia Mian, they liked to talk to her.
Min-joo can be said to be like a fish in water, having a busy and happy life every day.
When Xia Mian heard this, she felt more relieved and made Minzhu live in the capital with peace of mind. She made friends with all Fujin, but it was actually much better than Sachat or her to make friends with others, and would not make the big boss jealous. Otherwise, it’s not easy for everyone in Beijing to Fujin!
On this day, Gong Zhe, who Xia Mian was thinking of, finally returned to Beijing.
The first person Gong Zhe saw was Wang Ji. When he learned that Xia Mian was pregnant, he felt guilty and blamed himself, so he hurried to see Xia Mian.
After checking Xia Mian’s pulse, he was relieved to find that everything was fine with her.
“What about cowpox?” Xia Mian asked urgently.
Gong Zhe took out a small porcelain bottle with the scab of vaccinia inside. Moreover, he had personally tested it. The vaccinia did have a curative effect on smallpox, he said excitedly.
“Have you tried?” When did Xia Mian surprise.
On the way back to Beijing, Gong Zhe came back early. On the way, he often encountered situations where no store was opened in Baishili. After walking for two days, he simply rented a small courtyard in an inn and tried cowpox first.
He is the only guest in the inn, which is convenient.
Smallpox is an infectious disease. As a doctor, he really made various preparations.
Then, as Xia Mian said, he was infected with cowpox.
Very slight reaction, almost negligible, which makes it even more doubtful whether this method works.
Not daring to directly infect smallpox, he tried the existing human pox again.
Normally, people who are infected with human pox will have fever for a few days, and many people even died of smallpox directly. Gong Zhe dared to do this alone and took a great risk.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t respond to human pox at all.
Does that mean that vaccinia really prevents smallpox?
This time he stopped hesitating and tried to infect smallpox directly.
Sure enough, he did nothing. Cowpox can indeed prevent smallpox!
When he came back this time, he was going to find some people to try it out in large quantities. If it succeeds, he can promote it.
Speaking of this, Gong Zhe’s eyes lit up, but Xia Mian squeezed a sweat for him. His courage was really big enough. Just in an unknown inn, he dared to do this experiment. Fortunately, he succeeded, otherwise he would be sick. Falling down there, it’s hard for her to help him!
“Don’t do this next time.” Xia Mian stared.
Gong Zhe smiled embarrassedly, isn’t he anxious? Besides, he believed in Xia Mian, she said yes, she should be able to do it.
The rest is easy to handle, Gong Zhe hurried back to find someone for a large-scale experiment, and tried to confirm it quickly and promote it nationwide.
This year is just a spend year, and time waits for no one.
Gong Zhe was about to go back immediately. Xia Mian remembered one more thing. Wang Ji helped her with the rumors last time. Gong Zhe trusted him so much. Xia Mian felt that perhaps she should try to trust Wang Ji.
“Let him study western medicine with you first, the strange pill matter, then slow down.” Xia Mian said.
Gong Zhe nodded, very happy.
In the twinkling of an eye, February, the air already has a spring mood, and the good things in Chaoli are one after another.
First, it was about western medicine. After several months of trials and scrutiny, the Taiyuan Hospital finally determined that these kinds of western medicines that Gong Zhe said are indeed fast and good, and the key is that they are cheap.
Xia Mian listened and wanted to hum. It has been a few months before they are sure? But she also knew that medicine should of course be cautious. Like Hyundai, it’s not too slow for anyone who has done clinical trials for at least two or three years before daring to go public.
Kangxi was overjoyed and immediately decided to promote these western medicines.
At this time, the imperial merchants came in handy. They bought these western medicines in large quantities from abroad and sold them to various pharmacies at low prices.
Because of their status as royal merchants, pharmacy owners and doctors dare not neglect, and most of the time they would recommend these types of western medicine to patients with these diseases.
Western medicine? Most people have heard of it for the first time and don’t really believe it. But Western medicine is cheap, and some people who are shy in their pockets or like to try new things bought some to try.
This test was really easy to use. One passed ten, ten passed one hundred, and western medicine soon became popular.
How many people were there in the Qing Dynasty? Even if only one percent of people use this medicine, the amount is huge.
Almost every day there are ships sailing overseas, loaded with all kinds of exquisite porcelain and silk, and when they come back, they will be filled with western medicine, western specialties, and white flowers.
Various places along the coast prospered rapidly, and the lives of the people were much better. This was an unexpected joy that Xia Mian did not expect.
Therefore, Qianlong’s policy of shutting down and shutting the country is really bad, Xia Mian sighed, and really hoped that this little butterfly could also fan it out. But the time span is really too big, so she just thinks about it.
The second good thing, the eighth day of February, is Xiaozhuang’s birthday, which is the holy birthday. This year, Xiaozhuang’s body is much better than last year, and he is also energetic, so he is naturally very happy when he looks inside and out.
Kangxi grandly celebrated the Holy Birthday, and the palace went lively for several days.
The third good thing is naturally Xia Mian’s concubine. Of course, this is not a good thing for some people, but at least Xia Mian is full of expectations and joy.
To show the grandeur, Kangxi specially ordered Wu Zhengzhi, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, to be Xia Mian’s ceremonial officer.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.
