Chapter 2: Crossing 2

The emperor did not pay much attention, and coupled with the misfortunes of his ancestors, who were all short-lived and wasteful, by the time it reached his grandfather, he had already been stripped of his title. His father was the only son of the Prince of Zhijiang, who lost his title under unclear circumstances, which also caused quite a stir. In Huguang, where the emperor is far removed, his father was a well-known and respected heir to the Prince of Zhijiang. While the emperor may not have cared, the local officials were quite troubled. They simply returned the already dilapidated and remote prince's residence, which they had no means to manage, to his family, allowing them to continue living there.

They simply returned the already dilapidated and remote prince's residence, which they had no means to manage, to his family, allowing them to continue living there.

However, here at Zhu Youzi, Wang Shuhui has come to understand the basic situation. It is now the winter of the 47th year of the Wanli era, and the location they are in is Zhijiang County under Jingzhou Prefecture in Hubei Province, specifically in the Zhijiang Wang Ruins outside the city of Zhijiang.

Zhu Youzi's father went through considerable turmoil to restore his noble title. However, lacking both money and connections, after decades of struggle, the psychological pressure and economic difficulties led to his death in his early forties. He left behind an only son, Zhu Youzi. When Zhu Youzi was nine years old, his mother also passed away, leaving him a true orphan. Fortunately, a loyal family elder took care of him as he grew up, and he married the granddaughter of this elder. After the birth of his only daughter, his wife fell ill after childbirth and passed away. In the vast Wang residence of Zhijiang, only he and his daughter were left to rely on each other.

During the process of mutual understanding, Wang Shuhui discovered that he was quite fortunate. The person he saved was a descendant of the Zhi River Wang family, named Zhu Youzi. The Zhi River Wang lineage is descended from the Liao Wang Zhu Zhi, and originally, they were not considered very close relatives of the Chengzu Emperor. When the Shizong Emperor ascended the throne through a collateral branch, the relationship between the Zhi River Wang lineage and the imperial family became even more distant.

He thought to himself, fine, I will consider it as support for the remote mountainous areas, and taking advantage of the night, he passed through the light gate and went to make another purchase in the modern era.

The thinking of modern individuals tends to be rather scattered. After understanding the situation, the first thing that Wang Shuhui thought of was actually this.

In the morning, the complexion had noticeably improved. By noon, the cough had completely resolved. By evening, all symptoms of fever and heat had disappeared.

Additionally, there is the issue of clothing. On the surface, these two appear acceptable; Zhu Youzi is wearing a somewhat worn Daoist robe, while Zhu Weiwen is dressed in a Daoist robe that has clearly been altered to fit her by her father. The problem is that it is the middle of winter, and neither father nor daughter has a single thread of cotton on them, leaving them shivering for an extended period, which is heart-wrenching for Wang Shuhui to witness

Wang Shuhui pondered that this year should be 1619. Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty should live no longer than next year. Then, the unfortunate Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo will ascend the throne. This individual spent his entire life as the crown prince, and as emperor, he reigned for less than a year before he met his demise. Following him will be the renowned carpenter emperor. Seven years after the ascension of Ming Xizong Zhu Youjiao, the hanged emperor Chongzhen will take the throne. This individual also spent his entire life as the crown prince, and as emperor, he reigned for less than a year before he met his demise. In other words, within a span of no more than ten years, the world will descend into chaos.

Ancient people certainly did not have antibiotic resistance. This conclusion was reached by Wang Shuhui after consulting a doctor friend. According to his friend, antibiotics are effective for those who have never used them before. Of course, one must be cautious about the issue of allergies

Without close relatives and lacking a source of income, the authorities, in order to avoid suspicion, would do their utmost to distance themselves from this illegitimate royal family, wishing to keep a distance of eight hundred zhang. In order to support his daughter, he tried every possible means, and the items in the royal residence had been sold off completely by the two generations of father and son. A few days ago, to catch some fish for his daughter, Zhu Youzi went to the riverbank to fish in the dead of winter. He did not catch any fish, but instead caught a cold, which developed into pneumonia, and he was on the brink of death when he was saved by Wang Shuhui, who had traveled through time.

Wang Shuhui bought quite a few items at the supermarket, including several bags of white rice, half a pig of pork, various types of ham, noodles, steamed buns, and pastries, all packed into a large sack. He also purchased a good amount of cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other condiments. When it came to buying clothes, it was easier for adults; he bought three or four sets of cotton jackets, cotton pants, duck down coats, and cotton shoes and socks. However, he had no experience buying for a little girl, and with the help of the sales assistant, he managed to buy a few sets.

In ancient society, the profession of a doctor was considered on par with that of a monk, neither being particularly prestigious. Although Wang Runmin had been caring for middle-aged individuals and was unaware of the current era, he consistently emphasized during the treatment process that he had grown up in a monastery after losing both parents. However, now that his master had passed away, he had come down from the mountain to return to secular life. When faced with this situation, he took the initiative to help due to a family recipe specifically for treating lung diseases, although he was not well-versed in medical theory and practice. Throughout the treatment process, he reiterated that he had grown up in a monastery after losing both parents, and now, following his master's death, he had come down from the mountain to return to secular life. He only offered his assistance because of the family recipe for lung diseases, and he was not proficient in medical theory and practice.

Wang Shuhui carefully observed the light gate, which had originally been nearly 3 meters high and 3 meters wide, and it was clearly shrinking a bit more. Wang Shuhui felt that the light gate itself consumed energy; with each traversal, the gate would shrink a little. However, judging by the scale of the gate's reduction, it was sufficient for him to traverse hundreds of times. Therefore, he did not think much of it and pushed the cart into the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shuhui looked at Zhu Youzi, who had just been revived, and couldn't help but think that if this young man had not encountered him, he would have simply died. Now he has come back to life. At only thirty-three years old this year, if he could live for another ten years, he would have seen almost everything worth seeing. It is uncertain whether he would die at the hands of the peasant army.

Wang Shuhui crushed the antibiotics and placed them into a small bottle of cough syrup. He removed all the packaging instructions from the cough syrup bottle. He then took the cough syrup, now containing antibiotics, and gave it to the middle-aged man to drink

Wang Shuhui felt a strong urge to laugh. It is true that Zhu Youzi belongs to the royal family, but he is undoubtedly a down-and-out member of the nobility, a true fallen aristocrat. He understands why the authorities turn a blind eye to them. In the Ming Dynasty, the identity of being royal was a significant taboo. Emperor Chengzu, Zhu Di, seized the throne as a member of the royal family, and Emperor Shenzong, Zhu Houzong, also ascended to the throne as a royal. For the royal family, officials dared not get involved in any way, except to keep a watchful eye on them.

For the royal family, officials dared not get involved in any way, except to keep a watchful eye on them.

Royal family members like Zhu Youzi, who are mere figureheads, have suffered greatly without anyone intervening; historically, they would have likely perished on their own. This is probably a subconscious policy of the Ming dynasty government. After all, over the past two hundred years, the Zhu family has proliferated excessively, becoming a significant economic burden on the government. Those distant branches of the family that can fend for themselves will naturally see a reduction in numbers, which might be something that the emperor and his ministers secretly welcome.

After this, the sympathy for Zhu Youzi and his daughter on hetushu.com became the main emotion of Wang Shuhui. Having stayed here for a day, Wang Shuhui discovered that this young man from Zhijiang was living in quite a destitute condition. Firstly, there was the issue of not having enough to eat; for an entire day, Wang Shuhui had not seen these two eat even a little. Instead, the glucose solution he brought was consumed by the father and daughter, each drinking a large bottle to quench their thirst. Wang Shuhui did ask the little girl named Zhu Huiwan if there was any food at home, which led to the child wailing again, leaving Wang Shuhui feeling quite depressed.

Wang Shuhui looked at the father and daughter, both appearing emaciated and haggard. They lived in a large mansion, yet it was in a state of disrepair. Their lives were marked by irregular meals, and they had to go fishing by the river just to eat, which was truly pitiful

The middle-aged man is quite fortunate; his severe pneumonia encountered an antibiotic that had never been seen before. After taking Wang Runmin's enhanced cough syrup three times, he also consumed glucose powder and saline supplements under Wang Runmin's modern care

Wang Shuhui thought that their living environment was quite acceptable, although the house was in a state of leaking rain and wind. He took the opportunity to buy a large number of household heating appliances, purchasing several sets of quilts and bedding, as well as a white iron stove and flue, along with a substantial amount of honeycomb coal. He haphazardly loaded everything into a full cart and, taking advantage of the darkness, pushed it into the courtyard.
