Chapter 225
However, now is the time when the fire is imminent, Jiang She finally put away his thoughts of just in case, went downstairs to meet Jiang Yong, and invited Shang Zhizi and his disciples to the General's Mansion, and when the two of them were settled properly, they Immediately set off for the palace.
To show his honor and favor, Emperor Zhaoning once allowed her to come in and out at will, but when she entered the palace this time, she was stopped by the guards in front of the Yanhua Gate.Jiang She was not very surprised, he only said that there was an urgent matter to report, and it was really urgent, and there was absolutely no delay.The guards recognized her and knew that the little general from the Palace of the General Protecting the Country would not enter the palace any time soon, so he was afraid of delaying things, so he asked her to wait outside and sent someone in to pass the news.
Jiang She thanked them, but he couldn't see Xu Su's shadow when he looked around, he couldn't help being slightly surprised—could it be that he retreated in spite of the difficulties?That's not quite his nature.But it's okay, such things as standing up and begging for orders are still incomplete after all.
She waited for a while, but she did not wait for the news that she was ordered to enter the palace, but she waited for Zheng Wenqin to come.
The big red man next to Emperor Zhaoning had always been quiet, and managed everything steadily and thoughtfully, quite easily, but today his face showed some exhaustion, and his eyes were bloodshot.But it's no wonder, it's an auspicious day for New Year's Eve, busyness should be a joy, but even the piles and piles of the sky make people feel uneasy, even today, Yong Wang and Xu Su came to add to the trouble.Zheng Fan didn't rush to get angry, how could it be possible?
But even so, he suppressed his voice softly, "Young general, the emperor will not see anyone today, if you have anything to say, please speak to this old slave first."
Jiang She had expected it a long time ago, and only sighed slightly in his heart, and told the truth about her "meeting" the miracle doctor.
When Zheng Wen heard that Xiaozhulin was here, his face was filled with joy, and he blurted out without thinking: "Really?" He simply gave himself a mouthful.
Jiang She couldn't stop him, so he had to say something nice, and then said: "Eunuch Zheng, I couldn't believe such a good thing at first, but later I found out that his master and apprentice went to Yunzhou to collect medicine and returned in the future. Maybe that’s why the sent talents failed to find him.”
"This is a great happy event." Zheng Yan couldn't help nodding, his long and narrow eyes were full of light, "This old slave is going to report to the emperor, it's just..."
He hesitated to speak just right, and Jiang She followed his voice and said, "Please tell my father-in-law if you have something to say."
Zheng Yan hesitated, "I would like to ask the Major General to learn from you. This old servant is not saying that he cannot trust the Major General, but His Royal Highness is a rich man after all, so there is nothing wrong with it..."
"Eunuch Zheng makes sense." Jiang She knew he was concerned, "Actually, that gentleman didn't see a doctor today, and Eunuch also knows that there is a rule that Xiaozhulin is under three years old. Even so, I want to talk about medicine with my colleagues. But it shouldn't be a problem, maybe my father-in-law can invite a few imperial physicians to discuss with each other, and it will be beneficial to each other, so it is also a good thing."
Zheng Wen nodded repeatedly, and praised her for being thoughtful, so he followed her to the general's mansion first, and at the same time ordered people to go separately to invite the imperial physician.
Jiang She was worried after all, and told Shang Zhizi that he had his own eccentricities, and that Zheng knew everything he could do to save money, and he would pick those with a stable temper.
Although it was New Year's Eve, it was a matter of national importance, and no one dared to resign. After a while, the General's Mansion almost turned into an imperial hospital, and the hall was filled with a group of old scholars.
Although Zheng Fan said that the people he invited were prudent people, but since he had to be admitted to the imperial hospital, after all, his medical skills were outstanding, so he was unavoidably arrogant.Fortunately, Shang Zhizi has a gentle temper and is very talkative, and he explained the medical principles clearly and logically, and he talked about some folk remedies that were not recorded in the classics. At first, the imperial physicians dismissed it and refuted it one after another, but after careful consideration, they were really useful. I feel completely convinced.
Zheng Yan was sitting on the side watching, although he didn't know much about medicine, he was getting more and more happy when he heard the compliments from the imperial physicians.In the end, he sent all the imperial physicians out of the house one by one, thanked Jiang She again and again, then left in a hurry, and rushed back to congratulate him.
Jiang She also felt relieved, it's not like she has never seen the temper of the old man in the Imperial Hospital.If even they are convinced, it can be seen that Shang Zhizi really has something unique.
After all this rush, it was too late.Hearing Jiang Yuan's reply, he realized that Xu Su and his colleagues had only stayed for more than half an hour before being taken back by General Cheng Yao under the pretext of leaving his post without authorization.As for King Yong, he still stayed at the Ministry of Punishment, beat gongs and drums, and complained in the street, but no one dared to act against him.
From this point of view, this year has been a new one.
Jiang She couldn't help sighing, in fact, she didn't even feel that today was New Year's Eve; although there was no curfew, there were only sporadic firecrackers, probably because the people in Beijing were concerned about the wishes of the Tian family and did not dare to be too presumptuous.But the red light in front of the mansion, the more sumptuous dinner than in the past, and the little smile on the servant's face, all clearly showed that today is different.
Maybe there was one more Shang Zhizi during the dinner, Jiang Dushi was more enthusiastic than usual, the two talked about some medicine matters, but the host and guest had a good time.When Jiang She invited Shang Zhizi back to his residence, he also meant to ask him to visit Jiang Dushi, but due to Jiang Dushi's indifference, he didn't dare to express this meaning clearly. I didn't hesitate to talk more about the methods of recuperation, and I really got rid of a concern, and I have a lot of gratitude to him.
After eating, Jiang Dushi still excused his fatigue, and went back to the yard accompanied by Aunt Ye; Shang Zhizi also said that he had to make some preparations for tomorrow, so he bid farewell to her; Speaking of the letter from Liangzhou arriving today, I can't wait to see it quickly.
On the way, she opened the letter in a hurry, and first saw the words "all is well" in the head, then took a breath, glanced at it twice, then folded the letter again, intending to go back and read it carefully, and entered the door Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected visitor in the courtyard.
The girl was dressed in red and wore a fiery red cloak, and she was not afraid of the cold. She sat cross-legged on the stone bench, resting her chin on one hand, and turning the wine jar on the table with the other, perhaps listening to the sound and looking up. , suddenly smiled, "After all, I was in a hurry to speak in the morning. The world is unpredictable. I never thought that I could spend this year with the two of you. Why don't you drink two more glasses?"
Jiang She was slightly startled at first, and then couldn't help laughing, "Miss Qin is really elusive."
"That's the only skill I have." Qin Caisang jumped down nonchalantly, and raised the wine jar in his hand, but there seemed to be a little provocation in his eyes, "You two haven't answered me yet, what happened?"
Jiang She smiled slightly: "It's hard to turn down the kindness." She asked someone to light up the fire in the small hall, and prepared snacks to accompany the wine.
Qin Caisang never refuses, and eats according to the case unceremoniously. When she asked if the things to be done have been arranged properly, she just nodded, but she was a little vague.
Jiang She didn't ask any further questions, she still had another doubt in her heart, and she almost couldn't help but want to ask the previous question: Asked her to invite Shang Zhizi into the palace, but did she plan to see a doctor with her?
In fact, she knew that this might not be a big deal, it might be a matter of little effort to Qin Caisang, as long as she opened her mouth, Qin Caisang would definitely answer readily, but she was always hesitant, and she didn't know what she was hesitating about, in the end Just raise your glass and be silent.
Qin Caisang probably noticed something strange, so he looked at her with some confusion: "Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"
Jiang She thought that the girl was really more sensitive than she thought, so he just smiled, raised the cup and said, "I toast Miss Qin, thank you for your help."
Qin Caisang blinked, smiled helplessly, and raised his wine glass, "Brother Jiang, why did you say that again? Are we friends? Besides, didn't you say it yesterday? For Brother Jiang. What's more, Mr. Shang Zhi... Let me tell you something, don't worry about Brother Jiang, if His Royal Highness is really suffering from a strange disease, he would like to have this opportunity."
Jiang She nodded lightly, "Mr. Shang Zhi also said that in the morning."
"That's it." Qin Caisang nodded, "So don't worry about Brother Jiang."
"But I just want to thank the girl." Jiang She suddenly smiled, "The girl deserves it."
Qin Caisang was startled for a moment, then smiled, raised his glass and touched her lightly, "That doesn't need to be said."
Jiang She drank the wine with a smile, and suddenly felt that even though tomorrow was going to be difficult, he could only move around one by one, so he stopped thinking about all the troublesome things, and started talking about the Huazi he saw at the inn.
"Brother Jiang is saying that he is called Huazi?" Qin Caisang frowned slightly, and then smiled, "He is also a strange person, Brother Jiang must not have imagined that, just like him, he was originally from a wealthy family... No, not from a family In the middle of the road, it was he who scattered all his family wealth and collected money from beggars. I couldn't figure it out, and he refused to say why...Brother Jiang thinks it's weird? I think so too. It’s kind of weird.” She laughed again as she spoke, “Brother Jiang might think I’m weird too, doesn’t he?”
When she looked up, Jiang She felt that she was in an inexplicable mess, and hurriedly looked away, "Miss Qin was joking..."
Qin Caisang obviously didn't believe it, she was still looking at her, and said with a smile, "Really?"
Jiang She met her smiling eyes, finally nodded and admitted: "Yes."
Qin Caisang stared at her for a while, then burst out laughing, Jiang She was silent, and couldn't help laughing along with her.The two chatted about some anecdotes along the way, but mostly it was Qin Caisang who was talking and Jiang She was listening. Sometimes Jiang Yuan was asked by Qin Caisang and had to answer a few sentences, but later he could occasionally or take the initiative. After a few words, the three of them were talking about sex, unaware of the passage of time, but when they heard the big bell in the palace city ringing twelve times, they suddenly realized that this year had already passed.
"I'm really sorry for bothering you for a few days... Ah, I'm being polite, aren't you? It's really dark, isn't it?" Qin Caisang stood up with a smile, took the cloak and put it on, "Yes Don't worry, brother Jiang, don't worry, this time it will be safe. I'll leave first, and I'll come back to trouble you later."
She was talking to herself, although Jiang She was a little puzzled about the "this time", but he still couldn't get in his mouth, so he could only stand up with her, Qin Caisang waved her hand not to send her out, and said goodbye, Then he went on his own.
Jiang She turned around and faced Jiang Yuan speechlessly, only to realize that the small hall was so silent, she sighed slightly, "It's one year old again." She took out the letter from her bosom, and handed it to Jiang Yuan. Yuan, "A Yan's letter said that the snow in Liangzhou this year is heavier than in previous years."
Jiang Yuan took the letter silently, but didn't open it immediately, but still looked at Jiang She.Jiang She shook his head slightly, "A Yuan, how long have we been in Beijing?"
Jiang Yuan said: "Five years."
"It's been six years now." Jiang She chuckled, "I thought I'd have to go back soon, but I didn't expect it to be delayed year after year."
Jiang Yuan called out worriedly: "Young General..."
"What are you worried about?" Jiang She smiled at her, "I'm fine, I'm just thinking that the overall situation in Mobei has been settled, and once this matter is settled, I will ask His Majesty for permission to take my father back to Beijing."
The worry in Jiang Yuan's eyes remained undiminished, and he said cautiously: "I'm afraid...the old general doesn't want to come back."
Jiang She glanced at her, and Jiang Yuan immediately wanted to say something, but Jiang She just shook his head, "Ah Yuan is right, why is father willing to come back?"
Liangzhou is their bones and blood. It is the desert wind and sand and August snow that they are used to. It is the only place that can be called "home" on New Year's Eve, when the stars and rivers are silent.She was born and raised here, and she wishes to die here and be buried here, but this prosperous town with drizzle and spring breeze...is not her hometown.
"It's just me...heh." She smiled softly again, and raised her hand to stop Jiang Yuan who was about to speak, "But I have to at least try, this time, I don't want to go with the flow nature."
