My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1760 Crying
There is no funeral for children who die young.

Not to mention the smallpox epidemic nowadays, dead children have to be cremated directly.

Since the Ninth Prince's Mansion is a sealed mansion, there is no need to arrange for people to go out to pay their respects.

The Ninth Prince had heard many news reports about children dying, and he felt uneasy.

However, in front of Shushu, he kept it a secret for fear of scaring her.

After several days of tossing and turning, I finally recovered in the past two days. If I had to endure it for a few more days, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it.

Akdan's symptoms lasted for two days longer than his brother and sister, and by the morning of the eighth day, his fever had subsided.

The Ninth Prince breathed a sigh of relief.

If Akdan continues to be in poor condition, he will probably go back on his word.

Seeing that the Ninth Prince was like a frightened bird, Shu Shu was a little confused and said, "My Lord, really, not to mention the imperial physicians on standby at Ning'an Hall, doesn't the Tenth Prince also have an imperial physician on duty?"

So the imperial physician in their family is still very wealthy.

It doesn’t mean that if you treat the prince’s illness, you can’t treat the emperor’s grandson.

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "Don't we have three children in our family? When the scab forms, we'll have to do it again!"

The second process is the same as the first.

But according to the smallpox doctor, if the first vaccination is successful, the reaction the second time will be very weak.

This repetition is to test whether the vaccination is successful or not.

Shushu felt much more at ease.

According to the smallpox doctor, the current situation is that the virus has been inoculated.

If the implant is not successful, there will be no rash on the wound, just a scar.

When a rash appears, the scars look like flowers, so it is called "planting flowers".

Others don’t know the reliability of cowpox, but Shushu does.

As long as you control it and don't develop a high fever, the danger is very low.

What I am most worried about is pneumonia and meningitis caused by high fever.

Now that the fever of all three children has subsided, there is nothing to worry about.

She was in the mood to ask about what was happening outside, so she said to the Ninth Prince, "Master, you go to the front every day. Have you heard any news from outside? Isn't it said that every time there is a smallpox epidemic, hundreds or even thousands of people are killed in the capital? How is the situation outside this time?"

The Ninth Prince picked and said, "It's not so bad in the inner city. The captains checked every household and sent all the families with smallpox patients forty miles away. It was quickly checked out. The population in the south city is dense, so it took two days and several alleys were closed..."

Shu Shu asked curiously, "So how many patients have been reported?"

The Ninth Prince said, "There are about 10,000 people in the inner city, and the number in the south city is estimated to be double that."

Shu Shu: "..."

She swallowed.

When she was young, there was a smallpox epidemic in the capital.

When I was a little older, I heard my parents talk about the horror of smallpox.

Among the people who got smallpox, basically one out of three died.

It was because of such a high mortality rate that the people in the capital were so terrified of smallpox that Emperor Kangxi promoted the smallpox vaccine from top to bottom.

Dong E's family had many children and they did not dare to take any chances, so when their siblings and brothers reached a certain age, they were all vaccinated.

If the smallpox epidemic is under control and the number of patients is 30,000, then according to the previous mortality rate, 10,000 people will die.

There are more than 400,000 people in the inner city of Beijing, more than 200,000 people in the south city, and the total population is only more than 600,000!
This 1.5 percent ratio is also scary.

Seeing Shushu's reaction, the Ninth Prince said, "This is already good. Vaccination has been promoted in the capital for more than ten years. Young and middle-aged people are often vaccinated against smallpox. The patients are either old or young children."

Shu Shu said: "It's scary. From now on, don't arrange for living people to work in the mansion. Arrange them to work outside the mansion!"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Well, that's good. This way, more and more people will get vaccinated."

Today was the day for the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince to be vaccinated, so Shushu and the Ninth Prince bathed, changed their clothes, and went to Ning'an Hall.

A few days ago, the couple were accompanying their children and couldn't come over, so they always stayed at the gate of the yard and talked inside.

However, Baiguo, Xiaotang and others were there, and they understood the situation of the two children.

Because Princess Seventeen had added complementary foods, she reduced her milk intake from twice a day to once a day, but she didn't cry and seemed to have adapted.

As for the Nineteenth Prince, because he has started eating complementary foods, he has stopped drinking milk at night and can sleep for three full hours at night, and his little face has become rounder.

Both the sister and the brother look well.

As long as a child can eat and sleep, there is nothing that cannot be raised.

Shushu saw that the Seventeenth Princess looked a little better, and her worries were relieved a little.

Among the children, this one has the weakest constitution.

This is a congenital deficiency. No matter how carefully he is taken care of, he does not look as strong as other children.

If there is an accident, it will most likely happen to this child.

Not only will lives be lost, but Ninth Prince and Shushu will also be blamed.

The Seventeenth Princess was only five years old and could understand what was said, so Shushu slowly and calmly told her about vaccination.

"All children need to plant it. Gege should have planted it last year, but because she was too thin, it was delayed until this year. She planted it together with the Nineteenth Prince. Don't worry, your nephews and nieces planted it a few days ago, and they are all healed..."

Although the wound hurts on the first day, it is actually not deep. It just itches afterwards.

The Seventeenth Princess knew that this was her sister-in-law, and whispered, "Do I need to avoid certain foods?"

Shushu thought for a moment and said, "Just avoid a few things. Don't eat irritating foods or soy sauce for half a month, and stop eating meat for two days. Eggs and milk are fine."

The Seventeenth Princess said nothing more.

It was only when she saw the smallpox doctor's knife that the little girl began to get scared. Tears came out of her eyes and she clung to Shushu tightly, like a little chick seeking shelter.

Shushu hugged her and comforted her, saying, "The sooner the better. We can't delay it, otherwise the older child will have a high fever and suffer even more."

Princess Seventeen was a very well-behaved girl and didn't dare to cry or make a fuss.

When it hurt, she just sobbed quietly.

Shushu handed her a box of crystal orange candies and said, "Eat a piece of candy. After a good night's sleep, the pain will go away tomorrow."

Princess Seventeen carefully took the candy box and gradually stopped sobbing.

Compared with the obedience of the Seventeenth Princess, the Nineteenth Prince’s crying was deafening.

The Ninth Prince's head ached from crying, and he complained to Shushu, "This is catching up with the noise of our eldest princess..."

No matter how much the baby girl cries, she is still our sweetheart; but when this naughty brother cries, it makes people angry and want to hit him.

Seeing that she had been crying for half a minute and her throat was almost hoarse, the Ninth Prince could not help it and said with a stern face, "Don't cry anymore, hold it back!"

The Nineteenth Prince was startled and then cried even louder.

Shu Shu hurriedly said, "Sir, this kid is really crying because he is suffering. Isn't it normal?"

If the Nineteenth Prince continues to cry like this, he might get angry.

Shushu stroked the back of the Nineteenth Prince and said, "Good boy, your Ninth Brother is a bad guy, let's beat him..."

The Nineteenth Prince was still crying, but there was a small gap between his fingers covering his eyes.

The child, who is only one year and two months old, is already quite clever.

The Ninth Prince and Shushu looked at each other.

Shu Shu slapped Ninth Prince on the arm twice and said, "Don't say that about Little Nineteen..."

"Ouch, ouch..."

The Ninth Prince grimaced and looked in pain.

The Nineteenth Prince then became quieter, looked at Shushu, and said aggrievedly: "Wow, it hurts..."

Shushu held him in her arms and soothed him, "It won't hurt after a good night's sleep. Let's continue eating steamed eggs tomorrow."

She was somewhat thankful that the Nineteenth Prince had just come out of Zhaoxiang House and was used to being taken care of by a wet nurse and a nanny. He had not yet developed a relationship with his biological mother, Concubine Wang.

Otherwise, it would be worrying if a child of this age, who is at the age of recognizing people, cried and looked for his mother.

The couple was in charge of Ning'an Hall, and everyone in the hall was on high alert.

At night, when the brother and sister slept well and did not have a high fever, the couple returned to the main courtyard.

Thinking of the well-behaved Seventeenth Princess, Shushu said to the Ninth Prince, "Girls from the Eight Banners are precious, so why are princesses from the royal family the exception?"

Although they both cried in pain, the Seventeenth Princess did not dare to cry loudly and could only sob quietly; the Nineteenth Prince, on the other hand, had no restraints and the nanny beside him was more attentive.

The Ninth Prince said, "It's an overcorrection. In the early years, many royal ladies caused trouble, some even rebelled. Now when they come to their husband's family, they act like a big shot and cause the noble ministers of their husband's family to sue them in front of the emperor!"

In addition, since Emperor Taizu had been promoting etiquette, the upbringing of this princess also included many rules in order to prevent people from gossiping about her.

Shushu said: "Anyway, Niguzhu can't be taught like this, he will become a fool."

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Of course. As a princess, we can only bully others, but we cannot be bullied. We cannot have someone who is ignorant and ignorant like Little Nine..."

The Ninth Prince had also heard about the affairs of the Princess's Mansion and the Tong Family.

The Ninth Prince said that the rules were not established well.

The hierarchy has been established from the beginning, who dares to take advantage of it?
When mentioning this, the Ninth Prince praised: "The rules of my father-in-law's family are good. A daughter of the clan is a daughter of the clan. She must be respected."

Shushu nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. After looking at the princesses in the capital, Amu and Enie can live a worry-free life."

Although the uncle was confused during his lifetime, he never embarrassed his wife. Xizhu and his mother were all curled up.

Not to mention Qi Xi, he is extremely good to his wife.

The couple washed up and went to bed early.

When the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince developed a high fever, they still had to watch over them...

*
The Eighth Prince's Mansion, west wing.

The Eighth Lady tossed and turned.

The faint sound of her child crying in the morning made her very anxious.

Smallpox in Beijing...

The Chengjun Prince's Mansion lost a daughter, and the Gong Prince lost a granddaughter...

After hearing the news outside, the Eighth Lady became even more uneasy.

Why are all the dead little princesses?
She was looking forward to going out more and more.

There was a noise outside the door. It was the Eighth Prince coming in under the moonlight.

The Eighth Lady exhaled twice and stood up to greet him.

The Eighth Prince looked at the Eighth Lady and said, "Baozhu, the smallpox epidemic is very severe this time. Do you want to leave the city to avoid it?"

The Eighth Lady's eyelids twitched, and she said, "Didn't Master say before that the mansion was safer?"

She was her father's only daughter, and a posthumous child. Even though the palace began to promote smallpox vaccination when she was a child, the old Prince An had already passed away, and none of her uncles and aunts dared to take the initiative to vaccinate her, so the process was delayed.

Therefore, the Eighth Concubine is a biological one.

The Eighth Prince had a guilty look on his face, and said, "It was the steward's negligence. He didn't check the servants carefully. Two babies were born in the kitchen, and now there's a baby..."

The Eighth Lady was furious, but still shook her head and said, "No more trouble. Let's just stay in the mansion. I feel at ease."

If she really had to go out to avoid acne, the Eighth Lady felt that she would never come back.

The Eighth Prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Then... one of the two new little girls by your side is a biological..."

The Eighth Lady lowered her eyes and said after a while: "There is no need to go out. There is no place to live in this yard. Let's do this for now..."

Kowtow, this is yesterday’s. I will resume the double update tomorrow.
