Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Mo Chenxi quickly sealed off the farm, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. Fortunately, there was food, vegetables, and some poultry in the farm, enough to eat for two months.

Every courtyard in the manor was sealed off, and people were sent to deliver food. Mrs. Mo lived here with her son, and the child was young, so she had to be more careful.

She now thought of cowpox, but she didn't know if it would be too late to get vaccinated if it really was smallpox.

Another question is, why send someone to write a letter to my father to find the cow infected with cowpox? Wouldn't this allow the people in the village to come into contact with people outside?

For the first time, Mo Chenxi knelt down devoutly every day and prayed to the Buddha to bless his granddaughter with chickenpox instead of smallpox.

She didn't know whether her original body had had chickenpox, but fortunately there was a servant in the farm who had had chickenpox, and Cao Yue'e had also had it, so she took care of her daughter personally.

Mo Chenxi went through ten agonizing days. When she heard Mother Wang say that Huizhen's chickenpox had scabs and was beginning to fall off, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, she went to her daughter-in-law's yard, but her daughter-in-law didn't let her come over, saying that her mother-in-law was weak and she would be unable to take care of her if she got infected.

Mo Chenxi did not try to show off because she really didn't know whether she had had chickenpox or not. The most important thing was that she was worried about smallpox.

If Huizhen gets smallpox, she has a lot of things to do. She has to find a way to contact her father and find the cow with cowpox.

When Huizhen was almost recovered, Mo Chenxi went to see his granddaughter and saw Cao Yue'e holding Huizhen. Huizhen was listless and whining.

He Huizhen has lost a lot of weight. She used to be chubby, but now her chin is pointed. Even Cao Yue'e has become so thin that she is unrecognizable.

She has been in ancient times for more than three years and discovered a phenomenon: no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, chubby people are popular.

Now think about it, it's like what people say in modern times: a fatter person goes into the ICU and comes out as a thin person, and a thin person goes in and comes out as a box.

In ancient times, medical technology was poor and colds could be fatal. Only fat people could withstand it.

There are obvious scars on He Huizhen's face. Mo Chenxi reached out to hug her granddaughter, but He Huizhen hugged her mother's neck and refused to let go.

Cao Yue'e said apologetically: "I am the only one who holds my baby every day because of the pox."

Mo Chenxi sat down and said, "She's still not feeling well right now. In her heart, her mother is the closest to her and the one who makes her feel most at ease."

Cao Yue'e burst into tears, thinking of her own mother who had never hugged her. He Huizhen saw her mother crying and pouted her lips, trying to cry too. Cao Yue'e hurriedly held back her tears.

She hugged her daughter and explained to her mother-in-law, "I saw the scars on Huizhen's face. If they can't be removed, it would be fine if it was a boy, but it would be disfigured if it was a girl."

Mo Chenxi said, "It's just scabbed over. It will be gone in a year or two. Huizhen is still young and can't apply anything. When she's a few years older, I'll buy her the best pearl powder. What does grandma earn money for? It's for Huizhen to spend. In the future, I'll also prepare a beautiful dowry for her."

Cao Yue'e knew that her mother-in-law was comforting her, and she was very grateful. Her mother-in-law said that all granddaughters and grandsons are the same, and she not only said it, but also did it.

Last time, the court awarded her 10,000 taels, 5,000 taels to her and 5,000 taels to her sister-in-law as a dowry. She didn't feel resentful, because she was already married. If her mother-in-law gave her sister-in-law a dowry and didn't give her any, no one would say anything.

At the end of September, Mo Chenxi brought her people back to the capital, and she entered the palace two days after she returned.

She couldn't do the cowpox test on her own, nor could she ask Dr. Zhang for cooperation. Would Dr. Zhang trust her? Who would she ask for the test?

When the Queen Mother saw that Lady Xiaojie had taken the initiative to come to the palace to see her, she thought that something must be wrong. She had previously asked her to come to the palace more often to chat with her, but Lady Xiaojie had agreed very well, but she rarely came to the palace.

She missed Mrs. Mo very much who insisted on sending her chickens in the farm.

After completing the ceremony, Mo Chenxi looked at the maids in the hall. The Queen Mother gave a wink and the maids withdrew.

The Queen Mother said, "Madam Xiaojie, please sit down first. What we say here won't be heard outside."

She was curious and didn't know what Madam Xiaojie was going to say.

Mo Chenxi sat down and said, "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, my granddaughter had smallpox. Fortunately, she recovered safely and smoothly."

"That's good. Your granddaughter is over one year old, right? The most feared thing is that children under one year old will get chickenpox."

The Queen Mother knew that Lady Xiaojie would not come to the palace to talk about her granddaughter having chickenpox, but why did she use this as an introduction?

"My granddaughter's birthday is on New Year's Eve, and she's almost two. I've been kowtowed to the Goddess of Smallpox day and night for her. One day, I had a dream in which the Goddess of Smallpox told me a method. She said that cows also get smallpox, which is called cowpox. If you grind the cowpox scabs into powder and blow it into your nose, or prick your arm to get infected with cowpox, you'll have fever, nausea, and vomiting, but even if you develop smallpox later, there's an 80 to 90 percent chance you won't get it."

She is not a medical student, so she cannot say anything for sure.

The Queen Mother's hand was on the armrest, and when she heard what Mo Chenxi said, she held the armrest tightly.

Smallpox, like snowflakes falling from the sky covering the earth.

It's like a plague, and people turn pale when talking about it.

Madam Xiaojie said there is a way to prevent it?

Or 80% or 90%?

Queen Mother Wang did not doubt what Madam Xiaojie said, because Madam Xiaojie was not an ordinary person, and what Empress Dowager Xiaojie told her was true.

She even thought that Madam Xiaojie might be a bodhisattva who had descended to earth to save all living beings. The eldest princess brought back two things, one to feed the dog and the other as flowers and plants, both of which made Madam Xiaojie think of edible things.

Food is the most important thing for people. If you can have the heart to ensure that the people have enough to eat, you are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.

"Who else knows about this?"

"My family and relatives all know that my granddaughter has smallpox, but I will only tell the Empress Dowager about my dream. I can be the first to conduct experiments after the cowpox virus is produced."

The Queen Mother said, "We'll talk about this later. Go back and rest for a while. I'll let Doctor An come with you later."

After Mo Chenxi left the palace, she really wanted to go see her youngest son, but then she thought forget it and there was no need to make any fuss.

She herself was thin because of her original body, so starting today she would try to gain weight and have a midnight snack in the evening.

Make wontons, dumpling soup, anyway, they are all high in carbohydrates.

The tomatoes have been planted this year. First, she made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and tomato dumpling soup. The variety is probably the oldest one. Although it is small, a few of them have a strong tomato flavor.

After she had eaten several meals without any problems, she told her father that this could be used for cooking. Her father was shocked and blamed her for not being able to experiment by herself even if she could cook.

After that, Mo Chenxi didn't care anymore and asked his father to submit the planting method to the court. The credit should be given to his father, but the credit should also go to Princess Hanshan, as it was she who brought it back.

Mo Chenxi cooked for the family herself. The three women in the family, she, Cao Yue'e, and little Mrs. Mo, all needed to be nourished, so they had supper together every night.

Cao Yue'e was grateful and felt that her mother-in-law was doing this for her. Little Mo was very nervous and terrified. She was still breastfeeding, and her mother-in-law wanted her to have enough milk so she let her eat more.
