Chapter 589: The Clinic is Full
Jiang Siyin, who was sitting opposite, seemed to have thought of it as well.
Unlike the expectation on Zhang Yanzi's face, he actually had a gloomy face and looked like he was about to cry.
He thought to himself, it would be nice if his daughter never got married.
Qingdai Lane is only one alley away from Qulian Lane where the Jiang family lives.
Jiang Fubao just chatted with his mother for a few words before the team arrived.
As soon as he got off the carriage, a big red carpet appeared in Jiang Fubao's sight.
It is laid from the front door all the way to the main room.
Jiang Fubao asked someone to buy this red cloth, and she was the one who arranged it.
The family is not short of this little money, so even if the red cloth is expensive, she has to give her elder sister a sense of ceremony.
Jiang Wangyou covered her face with a round fan in both hands, but did not cover her head with a red veil.
The guests who had been waiting for a long time praised her appearance.
Kong Mingxue came here before dawn.
The same goes for Wan Xian and his wife. The banquet at Jiang's house was organized by Kong's Restaurant. Kong Yuanbao decided on the dishes, and Wan Xian was responsible for entertaining the guests.
Everyone waited in the main hall until the auspicious time.
Kong Mingxue, who has always been carefree, was extremely excited when he saw Jiang Wangyou coming over.
His lips and hands were shaking all the time.
His eyes were full of amazement.
"Worship the heavens and the earth-"
"Second worship high hall-"
"Husband and wife pay homage——"
"The banquet begins—"
Finished worshiping.
There was no ceremony of escorting the bride to the bridal chamber. Jiang Wangyou and Kong Mingxue toasted each table together.
The process is similar to a modern marriage.
Jiang Fubao, who was in charge of the planning, kept his achievements and fame to himself.
Each table was served by a maid or servant.
Once the dishes on the table became cold, the servants would immediately remove them and replace them with new hot dishes. The Kong family was very generous.
The banquet lasted until dark.
All the leftovers that could be eaten clean were donated. There were so many poor people that no one would despise the leftovers. There was fish and meat, as well as refined rice and flour, and even sweet soups, which some people had never eaten in their entire lives.
As for the inedible and dirty food, they are all poured into buckets and used to feed pigs. The main goal is to avoid waste.
The guests left one by one, and the Jiang and Kong families were the last to leave.
The young couple stood at the door and saw their families off, then closed the door and went back home.
On the wedding night, the newlyweds both had red faces. The maid served them and helped them drink the wedding wine. Their figures were reflected on the window by the red candles. The maid who was waiting outside walked into the yard with red cheeks, waiting for her master to call for water.
The next day, neither of them went out and stayed at home.
On the third day, Kong Mingxue accompanied Jiang Wangyou back home first. After lunch, Jiang Wangyou accompanied Kong Mingxue back home again.
After having dinner at Kong’s house, the couple returned to their own home.
On the fourth day, Youran Embroidery Shop opened and Kong Mingxue returned to school.
Everything is on track.
Soon, the New Year arrived, and before New Year’s Eve, heavy snow began to fall in Qixi County, and the snow continued until the fifth day of the New Year.
So much so that the Jiang family didn’t even go to pay New Year’s greetings.
The snow was so thick that even a grown man couldn't walk.
Many thatched houses, earthen houses, or houses that had been in disrepair for a long time and had no one to clear the snow on them collapsed under the weight of the thick snow.
Many people in the county were left homeless and had no houses to live in. Many people huddled in temples, shivering with cold.
Meng Zhili started to get busy dealing with this matter before the end of the year.
The Jiang family took the lead in donating five hundred taels to help these homeless people rebuild their houses.
It was not until early February that Qixi County regained its vitality.
However, before the arrival of spring, Jiang Fubao's clinic was suddenly full.
All the patients who came to see the doctor had caught a cold, and coughing sounds could be heard from time to time in the clinic.
Men, women, young and old, some were standing, some were sitting, and some were being held in arms.
Everyone had an anxious look on their face.
Those who couldn't wait to queue went to other clinics. However, there were also many people in other clinics, and those doctors were not as fast as Jiang Fubao in taking pulses. These people ran back and had to queue again, which was really a loss.
For the first time, Wuji Street was crowded with people.
Some people were even squeezed to the point of almost suffocating.
Jiang Fubao smelled something bad.
"Auntie, besides coughing, what else is ailing you?" Jiang Fubao asked, wondering if the woman in front of him simply had a cold.
"Ahem, I'm very cold and have a headache. Ahem, I keep coughing up phlegm and can't breathe at night. What's wrong with me, my little doctor? Ahem, could it be that the heavy snow during the New Year, ahem, made me cold?"
The woman's face was red and she had a fever. She coughed at least four times every time she spoke a sentence, and her voice was weak and hoarse.
"When did you start coughing?" Jiang Fubao continued to ask with a frown.
"It was the day before yesterday when I suddenly started to have a headache. Cough cough. I was so cold when I slept at night that I kept shivering. The maid gave me two hot water bottles but it didn't help. Cough cough. I only felt better after putting a stove in the room. After I woke up, I started coughing. My throat was really uncomfortable. Cough cough."
The woman's lips were pale and a little chapped, so Jiang Fubao asked the maid to bring her a cup of hot water.
"Have a drink of water first. Tell me what you did the day before yesterday, no, what you did in the past ten days, where you went, who you met. It's extremely important." Jiang Fubao vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she asked about the woman's activities.
"I didn't do anything, ahem. I was at home these past few days and didn't see many people. They were all my family. No, on the 25th of last month, ahem, my sister-in-law came back from Enxin Province to visit her relatives, and I took her family for a walk around town."
The woman was a little surprised why Jiang Fubao asked this, but she still told the truth.
Jiang Fubao thought to herself that this was not good, and she then asked other patients in the clinic.
Without exception, they have all come into contact with outsiders or have been to other places.
Jiang Fubao hurriedly asked the maids and servants to wear the masks she had made herself.
Then she ran straight to Sanshan School.
My godfather and godmother came back yesterday, I don’t know if they left today.
She used all her strength to run as fast as she could, fearing that she would be late and her godfather and godmother would have already returned to Chang'an Town.
I didn't dare stop on the road.
"Godfather, it's bad, something happened." Seeing that his godfather's carriage was still at the door, Jiang Fubao rushed in and shouted.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Meng Zhili, who was playing chess with his father-in-law, was startled by his goddaughter's voice, and the black piece in his hand fell to the ground.
Dong Wei and Dong Qingyuan looked at each other, then hurriedly stood up and went out to greet them.
"No, it's bad, something big happened," Jiang Fubao panted, his face flushed from running.
"Fubao, come in and have a drink of water, take a rest, and talk slowly." Dong Qingyuan took her hand and walked into the main room. She held a cup of water and fed Jiang Fubao some water, then gently stroked her back.
Jiang Fubao finally caught his breath.
"Godfather, I suspect there's a plague in this town!"
