Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Jia Jing was in a trance when he heard a commotion outside.

When Jia Jing came back to his senses, he heard someone knock on the door, "Master, something is wrong!"

Jia Jing frowned, "Come in and report back."

"Yes!"

Steward Luo walked in quickly, "Master, before we entered the city, we ran into people from Wucheng Bingmasi. They told us that the plague was in the generation of Hebei, and the local officials did not report it. After killing those who were infected with the plague, many people ran out and came to the capital. The news has been heard in the capital, and people are panicking now, and the higher-ups have ordered that the city gates be closed!"

"What plague?"

Guanshi Luo's eyes flickered, "I heard it's... smallpox."

Jia Jing closed his eyes.

smallpox.

Since ancient times, if there is a plague, it will be empty in ten rooms, but only this smallpox is in ten rooms and ten empty rooms.

Jia Jing opened his eyes and immediately made a decision, "Take the carriage and go down the mountain!"

Luo Guanshi was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted, "Yes!"

Jia Jing was about to go down the mountain and go back to his residence. Although everyone was surprised, they quickly prepared their chariots and horses.

Jiang's mother wrapped Xichun in a quilt and walked out. She just got into the carriage and ran away before she could sit in the carriage. Jiang's mother almost fell out.

Mama Jiang raised the car curtain a little, and someone came over, "Mama can bear it? Something happened in the city, we have to go back as soon as possible."

Mother Jiang asked: "Please ask me, what happened in the city? I'm afraid Fourth Miss can't stand such a bumpy ride."

The man said: "There is a plague in Hebei. People infected with the plague want to enter the city. The gates of the city will be closed!"

Jiang's mother's expression changed in an instant. Looking at Xichun who was thrown upside down in the car, she gritted her teeth, sat back, bit the thread off the hem of her clothes and tore them apart, tied herself and Xichun together, and tied her clothes again. He tied himself to the window, opened the curtain and said, "Can it be faster? Don't worry about us."

The people outside the car were startled, obviously seeing what was going on inside the car, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in their eyes, "Mom, wait a minute." After speaking, he stepped forward with a slight effort.

Mother Jiang just looked forward like this, and after a while, the man came back on the horse again, "Mom, sit still!"

Then, the man curled his fingers and stuffed them into his mouth, a loud whistle resounded through the sky, and the next moment, the speed of the carriage became even faster.

Jiang's mother hugged Xichun tightly with one hand, and the window frame with the other. She closed her eyes and endured the turbulence.

Jia Jing was also riding a horse, and he saw the city gate being closed from a distance, "Jia Yi!"

"Yes!" A man riding a horse rushed out from behind and ran towards the city gate.

Before Jia Yi reached the city gate, he was blocked by the crying crowd.

Suddenly hearing the bad news, many people couldn't react. Once the city gate was closed, they would not be able to go home!Who knows what will become of the family when they pass by again?

All of a sudden, those who wanted to go out of the city and those who wanted to enter the city blocked the gate of the city, even when they saw Jia Yi riding a horse, they did not hide.

Jia Yi didn't hesitate, he just abandoned his horse, and a few falcons arrived at the gate of the city.

The guards at the city gate are also sweating profusely, these people are crazy!Even if they took out their spears and knives, they rushed forward!

"I can't hold it anymore! When will the people from the camp come?!"

"almost!"

As soon as Jia figured out who the captain was, he saw the captain and took out the token of Ningguo Mansion, "Master Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion wants to go back to the mansion, please make it easier for me."

The man was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized who he was talking about. Looking outside the city, he saw a group of people coming towards the city gate. The leader was indeed wearing Taoist robes.

The man wiped his face, "Now we are short of manpower, we are powerless!"

Jia Yi didn't care, "As long as you are willing to help."

After a few jumps, Jia Yi arrived outside the crowd at the city gate, and made several gestures towards Jia Jing and his party.

Jia Jing saw Jia Yi's gesticulation, and two groups of people rushed out again, dismounting one after another when they came to the gate of the city. They didn't know how they did it, and instantly opened a road in the crowd that was big enough for the carriage to pass through. .

Jia Jing and the others entered the city from the crowd with a carriage, and the two groups of people also entered the city, and the gate of the city returned to the previous crowded and noisy.

A young guard looked shocked at Jia Jing and others who were going away, and was pushed by the veteran next to him, "Come back to God!"

The young guard came back to his senses, and then helped stop the people and closed the city gate.

After the city gate was closed and the people were driven away, the young guard sat down on the ground, and the other guards also sat on the ground.

One touched his arm, "Can't bear it?"

The people of the Gyeonggi Guard Camp are building armor, and there are still many people in the distance who refuse to leave, so they just stand there and look at this place, their eyes are full of fear and resentment.

The young guard pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, "I can't bear it, but I can bear it when I think it's smallpox."

The person next to him smiled, "Yeah, I can bear it when I think it's smallpox."

The tone was ethereal, so low that it was almost inaudible.

The young guard cheered up again, "Where is that team from before?"

The person next to him said: "That's right, you're young, I haven't seen it before, it's from the Jia family."

The young guard was full of doubts, "The Jia family? The Jia family of Rongning and Ningxia? They are not..."

The people next to him narrowed their eyes and looked in the direction of Ningguo Mansion, "They? They are not the real Jia family? The current Jia family, hehe..."

Nan'an Palace

Princess Nan'an stood by Jin Han's bed, "Han'er, if you hold back, the doctor will be here soon!"

Jin Han only felt that his body was hot and cold, and his mother was crying, but he couldn't hear clearly. He wanted to comfort his mother and tell her that he was fine, but his mouth was like cast iron, and he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

Princess Nan'an saw Jin Han's lips parted, and immediately leaned forward, "Han'er, what do you want to say? The concubine mother is here!"

After a few breaths, I looked up again, only to see that Jin Han had passed out.

Princess Nan'an was horrified, "Han'er?!"

Princess Nan'an turned her head and shouted outside the door: "Doctor! Where is the doctor?! Where is the doctor?!"

A servant girl hurried in, "Princess, it's not good!"

The servant girl fell to the ground, got up again and threw herself at the feet of Princess Nan'an, "Princess, smallpox broke out in Hebei, and some refugees came to the capital, and the gates of the city have been closed now!"

Princess Nan'an swayed and was about to fall, and the surrounding maidservants rushed to support her.

"What about the doctor? Did the doctor invite you?!"

The servant girl shook her head, "Now the city is in chaos, doctor... the doctor refuses to come..."

"Mother Liu has been to the imperial hospital, and all the imperial doctors have been detained, saying that the higher-ups want them to find a way to suppress smallpox."

"Mother Liu asked me to come back and tell her first, and she will go to other houses to ask."

The tears in Princess Nan'an's eyes finally fell down, she went to other houses to ask again, at this critical juncture, even if there are doctors in other houses, how could they let the doctor come? !

Her Haner...

Princess Nan'an tightly closed her eyes, the anger in her heart almost completely burned her out.

What a king of Nan'an County!What a side concubine Liu!

She, Liu Jiao, remembered this grudge!

Princess Nan'an opened her eyes and tried to calm herself down, "Go, call Mother Qin and the others."

Then he turned his head and ordered: "Bring more warm water, and wash Brother Han's body."

Qin's mother and others came soon, Nan'an Princess looked at Jinhan without raising her head, "From now on, Qingfengyuan can't enter or leave, and I will guard it! If anyone violates the rules, they will be closed directly." Get up, you must pay attention to eating utensils, sister Yue also brought them here."

Princess Nan'an said again: "If something happens to Brother Han and Sister Yue, I won't ask anything else. You and your family will make amends first."

Qin's mother and the others were shocked, bowed their heads and said yes in unison.

Jin Yue was quickly brought over, and was very surprised to see her mother and elder brother. She wanted to run over, but was stopped by Princess Nan'an.

"Sister Yue is good, brother is sick, can sister Yue stay in the next room obediently?"

Jin Yue nodded obediently, took her mother's hand and walked out, and turned around when she reached the door and asked, "Mother Concubine, when will brother get well?"

Princess Nan'an's eyes became hot, and she almost burst into tears again, "Sister Yue, be good, brother will be fine soon, when the doctor comes, take medicine, brother will be fine."

Seeing her daughter leave, Princess Nan'an couldn't help but pray to God that a doctor would come to see her brother Han.

I don't know if her prayer was heard by the heavens. The next moment, the servant girl ran in, "Princess! The doctor is here! Mother Liu is here!"

Ningguo Mansion

Jia Jing sat in the hall, and a group of people knelt below, "Didn't you say that the mansion has hired a doctor who is good at pediatrics?"

Jia Zhen and the others didn't answer. Too many things happened today, and they haven't recovered yet.

Qin Keqing regained her composure, and said softly: "Grandfather, Rong Zhi, did invite a doctor who is good at pediatrics back then, but..."

Jia Jing interrupted her, "Who are you?"

Qin Keqing's words came to an abrupt end, and Jia Rong hurriedly said, "Grandfather, she is my wife, her surname is Qin..."

Jia Jing said again: "It's your turn to speak?"

Now Jia Rong also shut up, and Youshi said in an embarrassing way: "Father..."

Jia Jing didn't even lift his eyelids, "I've never drunk the tea you respect."

Jia Zhen said with a cold face: "Father has become an outsider, but mother drank tea."

Jia Jing snorted, "Is that on the family tree?"

At this point, the room suddenly became quiet, You Shi's face flushed, and Qin Keqing was also stunned.

Are you on the family tree?

Could it be that they didn't have the Jia family's genealogy? !

Youshi and Qin Keqing really didn't have a genealogy, not only them, but even Jia Baoyu and the others didn't have it.

Jia Jing is the patriarch of the Jia clan, and he is responsible for opening the ancestral hall on New Year's Eve every year. At this time every year, the clan will report the newborn population and the dead population, and Jia Jing will record them.

When Jia Jing went to the mountains to become a Taoist priest, he pushed away the title he inherited and passed it directly to Jia Zhen, so he did not have any title or official position.

But the responsibility of Jia Jing's patriarch is still there!

Jia Jing also hesitated to pass it on to Jia Zhen back then, but the clan refused, so Jia Jing had no choice but to give up, thinking that in a few years he would insist on ignoring the matter, and then it would be all right to give the position of patriarch to Jia Zhen. will be better.

Jia Yi walked in, and didn't seem to see the group of people kneeling on the ground, "Master, the seventh lady has already seen the fourth lady, and the fourth lady has taken the medicine, and the fever has subsided."

Jia Jing hummed, got up and walked out, "Ask some maidservants to go to Rongguo Mansion and bring back Miss Fourth's usual clothes."

Jia Jing left, but he didn't say anything, but Jia Zhen and the others still knelt on the ground and dared not get up. They didn't dare to get up until someone told them to get up.

But they couldn't get up anymore, their knees were injured, and finally the servants carried them back or carried them back.

They couldn't figure out why Jia Jing returned home suddenly!

On the other side, Jia Jing looked at the two boxes brought back from the Rongguo Mansion and remained silent. The maid beside her wanted to disappear immediately, but she still bit the bullet and said: "Miss Four's things... are all here. "
