The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Chapter 73 Jia Min Poisoning

The Ningguo Mansion quickly calmed down under Little Jiang's thunderous means. Except for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, who were paralyzed in bed all day, the others still lived their lives step by step.

Of course, the Youshi sisters don't count.

According to Xiao Jiang, in view of the fact that the two of them have "more love than gold" for Jia Zhen, she made a suggestion to You: "It is not easy for the two aunts. They are so affectionate and loyal to the master. We juniors I saw it, and I was really moved. Now that the master unfortunately injured his leg, he can't take care of the two aunts, and they feel sad when they think about it."

Youshi was disgusted to death by these words, but he could only bite the bullet and listen, and asked with a smile: "Then according to your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Mrs. Jiang also laughed, and said in a lukewarm manner: "Daughter-in-law thought, it would be better to fulfill their friendship. One thing, the master also needs someone to take care of it. Madam, you have a lot of things in your daily life, and I was caught by Ye My brother has his legs tied, and he is too busy. Second, the two aunts are loyal, and they will definitely serve the master well, and will not be treated poorly by his servants. Come on, the master also values ​​the two aunts, We will be happy to meet each other, and it will be beneficial to the recovery of the injury. Madam, do you think this is the case?"

On the one hand, You Shi was afraid of Xiao Jiang's cruel suggestion, and on the other hand, he felt angry.

When his stepmother and step-sister caused such an incident, You Shi hated everyone more than anyone else, and their You family's face was completely humiliated.I am a pure and innocent person, and I have lived in the Jia family for decades without a day without trembling. It is so easy to get a foothold, but now it is all ruined by these three shameless people.

Anyone who knows the inside story, now who doesn't say that he is a stick!

Not to mention in front of Wang Xifeng and others in the West Mansion, even in front of Xiao Jiang's daughter-in-law, he didn't have the confidence to speak loudly, but instead he had to support her.

These days are so boring, Youshi sometimes thinks about it, and wants to stab those three sluts to death with a knife.

You Shi vomited blood with hatred, and had to agree with Xiao Jiang's statement.

She ordered someone to stay in Jia Zhen's yard that day, tidy up two rooms and come out, and arranged shifts for Second Sister You and Third Sister You.In the future, these two people will take care of Jia Zhen's side, and You Shi himself will save a lot of worry and effort, at least he won't need to look at Jia Zhen's overly indulgent old face.

Little Jiang got his wish and watched Jia Zhen and You's sisters fall in love and kill each other. The biggest pastime every day is to listen to people's reports of interesting things in the yard, and even eat half a bowl of rice.

Regarding the affairs in the East Mansion, Wang Xifeng just listened to it for fun and never interjected.

However, she admired Xiao Jiang's way of dealing with the world very much. The friendship between the two has always been good, and they often get together to discuss the issue of raising children.Brother Mao is more than three years old now, and brother Ye is also more than one year old. The two uncles and nephews are very harmonious when they gather together and talk to each other.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, Wang Xifeng received a letter from Yangzhou, saying that Jia Min was injured by protecting Lin Ruhai from poison, and now he is bedridden. I hope Rongguo Mansion can find some doctors with good medical skills to save Jia Min's life. .

When the news came, Jia Shishi fainted immediately. She had only two sons and a daughter in her life, and the two sons were useless. She only hoped that her daughter would get better.But now her daughter is also in danger. The poison Wang gave in the past has already destroyed Jia Min's body. If it weren't for Sun Taiyi's constant help in recuperation and treatment, Jia Min might have passed away long ago.

But even so, everyone knows that Jia Min's body is like a water tank with leaks, it's better to fill in than to leak out.Every time when Jia Shishi offered incense, he would pray to God, asking God to bless Jia Min to live a few more years and suffer less from illness.

But luckily now, Jia Min has been poisoned again. Her formerly tattered body spent several months of the year shutting up to recuperate, and now I am afraid that time is really numbered.Otherwise, Lin Ruhai would not rush to the doctor in a hurry, and send the distress letter to Jia's family in Beijing. It should be known that Sun Taiyi's medical skills are not bad, and he knows many famous doctors. If there is a way, he will never bother Jia's family.

Thinking of the sensitive and frail younger sister Lin who shed tears in the wind in her previous life, Wang Xifeng couldn't help feeling worried. Could it be that in this life, younger sister Lin still couldn't get rid of the life of her biological mother's early death?

Wang Xifeng's worries could not be put into words. All she could do was to post a notice seeking a famous doctor in the capital and spend a lot of money to seek medical treatment.It's just that the capital city and Yangzhou are far apart after all. Many doctors don't know what kind of poison Jia Min has been poisoned with.

In the end, it was Jia Lian who had the cheek to go to the palace to ask His Majesty to see the current majesty, and asked him to call two imperial physicians to come and take them to Yangzhou.

It is very refreshing to give the imperial doctor now, but when he heard that Jia Lian was going to Yangzhou with him, his expression was a little ugly.Gein, because the railway from the capital city to the Mountain Resort is about to enter the stage of completion, and now he has been looking forward to it for two years, and when Jia Lian wants to leave Beijing, he is naturally unwilling in his heart.

Jia Lian peeped at his face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the remaining tracks of the railway are still tens of miles away. According to the current progress, it will take at least three months to complete. After the laying of another track , We still need to wait for half a year, during this period, we have to check and test the operation many times to ensure that there are no potential safety hazards before we can officially pass.”

"As for these things, I have handed over all these things to the people in the Ministry of Industry, and they are all competent. After all, the power of one person is limited, and we should let them all experience and practice. If we want to start full-scale construction in the future, we can also be alone."

"But this minister is different. My grandmother is over 80 years old. Hearing that my aunt was injured and restless all night, she has been lying in bed for several days." Jia Lian raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears that did not exist, and choked up. Said, "My minister is incompetent. In order to appease my grandmother's heart, the only thing I can do is to go to Yangzhou in person and do my best to be a nephew."

These remarks are well-founded, reasonable and reasonable, and Jia Lian has indeed worked hard and diligently in the past few years, and has never slacked off.Now that the family's aunt is in danger, she was still hurting to protect the important officials of the court, maybe one of her sons was responsible for it. Now that she thinks about it, she changed her mind and agreed generously.

Not only that, but now with a big wave of his hand, he rewarded a lot of rare medicinal materials, just hoping that Jia Min will get better soon and let Jia Lian continue to work for him.

In fact, Jia Lian didn't really want to go, and the relationship between him and Jia Min was just average. When Jia Min got married, he was only five years old and didn't understand anything.Moreover, Jia Min and Jia Zheng have a good relationship, and they are closer to Jia Zhu, a nephew who can read, than to Jia Lian, a noisy nephew. Children are sensitive, so Jia Lian seldom goes to Jia Min's side.

Another one, Wang Xifeng, is now pregnant. Although the fetal phase is stable and there are many people around her, Jia Lian is still not at ease.

However, in the previous life, the good things that the Lin family had accumulated in several lifetimes were all filled in the Jia family's bottomless pit. The only daughter, Lin Daiyu, also died in the Grand View Garden, and her fate was miserable.

So even for the sake of Cousin Lin, Jia Lian couldn't ignore the Lin family, and Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu had a good deal in the past.Since the news came, Wang Xifeng had to say something about Sister Lin from time to time, and she seemed extremely worried.

Also, I have been in the limelight in the past few years in Beijing, blocking the way of many people, hiding out for half a year and a few months, it is also good to avoid the limelight.

After all these concerns, Jia Lian made up his mind to go to Yangzhou. After all, he won't lose money.

Because Jia Min's situation was really critical, Jia Lian did not choose the water route, but took the imperial physicians by land.Moreover, he is bold and bold, and he has a thick skin. He even drove away the four-wheeled car that is currently stored in the warehouse.

Of course, Jia Lian's words are sweet, but he is fooling around today: "Your Majesty, you work day and night in the palace. Those cars have been kept in the warehouse for a long time, and the parts inside are prone to aging. Since this car was built, except for the newly built It was opened in the palace at the time, and I have never traveled a long distance. I don’t know how the battery life is. Now I just take this opportunity to let the minister try it for you. If there is anything wrong, I will wait until I come back. It’s better to improve one or two.”

Now he laughed angrily at what he said, but after thinking about it, it is true. Jia Lian is the designer, and he is most familiar with the performance of the car.

For this big iron guy, I still have some concerns in my heart now. I don't rely on horses or manpower, and I can travel thousands of miles a day just by adding some fuel.This is really beyond people's cognition today. If it weren't for Jia Lian and the coachmen he taught, they could really drive away the iron lump, and they would only think it was a bigger toy when they were put in.

However, due to the large number of people in the capital and the fact that people traveled in horse-drawn carriages at that time, today it is only when the car is brought in and presented, they just sit on it and walk around, then put this thing on the shelf and never use it again.If Jia Lian hadn't mentioned it this time, he might have forgotten that there is still such an iron lump in his private treasury.

Therefore, adhering to the idea of ​​letting Jia Lian test the car, he generously gave him a car: "I remember that you had five cars at the beginning? I am in the palace all day long, and I don't need that many cars. Since Ai Qing If you need it urgently now, I will reward you with one, so that you can travel and reunite with your family.”

What Jia Lian could say was, of course, he could only thank the emperor for his kindness, and then he drove back to Rongguo Mansion in the car he just got.

The speed of the four-wheeled car is naturally very fast, but the road conditions at this time are really bad. Even the official roads are full of potholes, and there are few very smooth road sections.So although the speed has increased, the two imperial doctors who have never been in a car, every time they get out of the car, they have to squat on the ground and vomit, half of their lives are lost.

Doctor Ma who accompanied him asked tremblingly, "Master Hou, how long will it take for us to arrive in Yangzhou?"

Doctor Ma's medical skills can be ranked among the top three in the Taiyuan Hospital, and he knows a lot about the poisons in the world. Jia Lian specially asked for a master.When he and another doctor Wang received the imperial decree, they heard Jia Lian say that the journey was by car, and the two old men happily stroked their beards, saying that this time it might be a new experience.

It should be noted that it has been almost a year since the four-wheeled vehicle was developed. Apart from the empress dowager, empress and a few powerful princes in Beijing, even the designer Jia Lian did not have it.In the eyes of outsiders, it is not a new thing. Counting the people in the capital, no more than a thousand people have seen this thing, and only two people have sat on it.

It's a pity that their enthusiasm was wiped out by the bumpy dirt road. They almost vomited out their gall these days, and now they finally couldn't help asking.

Jia Lian was fueling the car, and when he heard Ma Taiyi's words, he smiled and replied, "Hurry up, according to the current speed, we will be able to reach Yangzhou City tomorrow morning."

Physician Ma was very happy when he heard the words, and Physician Wang next to him was also very happy, because this car is rare, but motion sickness is really suffering.

When they were in a good mood, their minds turned around, and they said in surprise: "The capital is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, and we only took four days to get there? This car is really fast and more convenient than that Maxima. In addition to making people dizzy, there are indeed many benefits."

Immediately, Doctor Wang looked at Jia Lian and praised: "Master Hou is really amazing, we two old bones can hardly stand it anymore, you are not dizzy, and you can still drive this car for more than 1000 miles a day. It's really great."

"The two elders have praised me, but it's just because of my youth. I have ridden in this car before, and I am more experienced than the two elders." Jia Lian showed a smirk, and then changed the subject. "The two elders are tired from running around for the past few days. Let's rest in this inn today and set off again at Mao tomorrow."

The two imperial physicians nodded repeatedly, each carrying a small burden, and quickly stepped into the post house, and went to find someone to prepare the room for hot water to wash without mentioning it.

Jia Lian waited until the car was refueled and told the guards at the post house to keep a close watch on him, then Shi Shiran entered the post house: "Prepare three meals, all of which should be light and clean, and the two adults will summon you later." At that time, I sent someone to send it in. In addition, prepare a bucket of hot water for me, and send it to the house half an hour after the meal, and I am not allowed to go up to disturb without summons."

After all, Jia Lian threw a silver ingot over there, and by visual inspection there was five taels of silver.

When the Yicheng of the posthouse saw the car, he knew that someone was coming, and just now he heard the two imperial physicians who came in first say that the person who came was the famous Marquis Zhaoming from the Dagan Kingdom, and he was already full of excitement.

It should be noted that after various high-yielding grains were introduced to the people, Jia Lian's reputation became very good, and was praised by the people as a contemporary Shennong.This Yicheng was also born in the common people. The village of his hometown relied on the two crops of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and finally every household could have enough food. How could he not worship Jia Lian.

Therefore, he took the silver ingot and was about to return it to Jia Lian immediately: "Master Hou, you are the great benefactor of our people, this little old man can't accept the silver. The little old man will order people to send hot water and food. , you should take back the silver."

Jia Lian glanced at him, and replied with a smile: "Old man, you can accept this money with peace of mind. Benhou's family still has some savings, so you don't have to worry about this money. But if you don't take it today, you will pay for it tomorrow." You have to put the money on the pad yourself, there is no need to do that."

After finishing speaking, he no longer exchanged greetings with Yicheng, nodded slightly and said: "I have been running all the way, it is really unbearable to see others, so I went to wash up first."

The postman saw the wind blowing under his feet, but he entered the backyard in the blink of an eye, and didn't even have time to stop him, so he had to.However, Yi Cheng specially ordered the cooks to prepare the best things for Jia Lian and the three of them, and the service was very considerate and thoughtful.

Before dawn the next day, the three of them set off again.

Perhaps it was because of the resistance after three days of driving, or perhaps because of the excitement of arriving at the destination, Taiyi Wang and Taiyi Ma did not suffer from motion sickness today.Through the glass windows along the way, the two stared at the scenery outside with great interest, and they couldn't stop commenting, talking very lively for a while.

While driving, Jia Lian listened to the two old men say something like "pleasant spring scenery and rural scenery", and felt that his brain was blown, and he could talk a little bit better than the bad-mouthed woman in Rongguo Mansion.

However, Yangzhou City did arrive very quickly. They set off at the right time, except for a convenient stop along the way, there was no delay for half a quarter of an hour, so they saw the city wall of Yangzhou City in the second quarter.

As soon as the rare iron lump merged into the main road into the city, the people along the way hurriedly avoided it when they heard the chug sound.People who were officials in the court still knew about cars and railways from the newspapers in the court, but these ordinary people who were digging in the fields thought that some big monster had come, and they were frightened.

The soldiers guarding the gate hesitated at the gate for a long time, and then they took the courage to walk over with guns: "Who is coming, stop!"

Jia Lian obediently stopped the car, took out his waist badge and flashed it: "Jia Lian, the Marquis of Zhaoming in the capital city, came to Yangzhou to visit his aunt Jia Lin, who is the wife of the Lin family who patrols salt in the city. Please do me a favor. "

When these soldiers saw the badge, they hurriedly saluted and said hello: "I have seen Zhao Minghou, but he is too young to see Mount Tai. Please don't blame him."

Naturally, Jia Lian would not blame him, he smiled and said: "Those who don't know don't blame, this is the first time for this Marquis to come to Yangzhou, where is the Xunyan Yushi Mansion, I don't know how many little brothers, maybe they can help us guide the way?"

Jia Lian had been to the Lin family in his previous life to send Lin Daiyu back for a funeral, so he naturally knew the location of Xunyan Yushi's Mansion.But in this life, it is indeed impossible to come to Yangzhou. In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, it is indeed necessary to find someone to lead the way.

And those soldiers looked at each other, they were all eager to try, and finally the squad leader came out: "Marquis Zhaoming, you are polite. Next, Li Daniu, is the inspector at the gate of the city, willing to work for Marquis Zhaoming."

Jia Lian opened the car door and asked him to sit in the co-pilot's seat. After nodding to the other people, he drove the car into the city of Yangzhou following the space they vacated.

The roads in Yangzhou City are paved with bluestone slabs, which are much smoother than the dirt roads outside the city.Wang Taiyi and Ma Taiyi didn't say anything, Li Daniu saw the iron bump moving by itself, his eyes were full of surprise, but he didn't dare to cry out because of Jia Lian's identity, he just led the way in a low voice without mentioning it.

The people inside the city are the same as those outside. When they heard the rumbling sound of the engine from a distance, they hurriedly scattered to avoid it. Therefore, the journey along the way was quite smooth. They didn't dare to have a cup of tea, and they arrived at Xunyan Yushi's Mansion the door.

The gatekeeper saw the car from a distance, and felt amazed, and finally saw the iron lump stopped at the door of his house, and they all put their feet on their feet to look around, only one who was more courageous, rushed forward.

Jia Lian stopped the car and got out of the car first, followed by the two imperial physicians and the gatekeeper named Li Daniu.

The doorman of the Lin family took a breath, and asked boldly: "I wonder who this lord is? Is there something to do at the Lin family?"

Jia Lian smiled slightly, then raised his voice and said: "Jia Lian, the eldest son of the Jia family in the capital city, has received a letter from my uncle and has come to visit my aunt. You go in and report."

Hearing this, the gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then saluted Jia Lian with a smile on his face: "It was the Marquis Zhaoming who came to visit, please come in quickly, our master and wife are looking forward to you day and night. The two imperial physicians also hurry up." Please come in quickly, I don’t know where your luggage is, so I’ll find someone to move it in.”

Hearing this, Jia Lian opened the trunk, and there were only the personal items of the three of them in it. As for the other things, the Lin family has a big business, so they probably won't be able to afford it.

The door that came out first took a look, turned around and waved his hands, and three or four clever young men ran over, carrying things in twos and sending them inside.

Jia Lian looked at Li Daniu, took out a purse and handed it over with a smile: "Thank you brother Li for sending us this way, there are some loose coins here, please don't dislike them, take them back and have a drink with the brothers at the gate of the city Water and wine can be regarded as the fate of our meeting today."

Li Daniu was not willing to accept it, but Jia Lian's mouth was so good that he was dizzy after just a few words, so he took the purse and stuffed it into his arms in a daze.

The doorman looked at Li Daniu from the side, he was wearing the clothes of a gatekeeper, so he knew the identity of the visitor, and said immediately: "This place is far away from the city gate, so it's not easy for you to run back. It just so happens that our mansion The carriage you got on is at the door, and the coachman is also there, at least let us take you back."

Li Daniu waved his hands again and again, but it was no match for the methods of the Lin family's family, and was finally dragged and dragged to the carriage.Seeing that the door was clear, Jia Lian was also worried about Jia Min's injury, and the two imperial physicians followed, so it was not good to stay at the door, so he nodded goodbye and led the two imperial physicians Ma Wang into the gate of Lin's house.

As early as when Jia Lian revealed his identity, the guard at the door went in to report the news. Lin Ruhai was stunned when he heard that Jia Lian had arrived with two imperial physicians: "The Marquis Zhaoming of the Jia family in the capital has arrived? It’s so fast, even if we set out after receiving the letter, it should take ten days to arrive.”

The boy who answered was surprised and said: "Master, you didn't see it. The Marquis came here in an iron lump. I have never seen such a thing before. But it is definitely the Marquis of Zhaoming. Lin Fu saw it." His badge."

Lin Ruhai didn't care about thinking any more, so he got up quickly to meet him, and ordered: "Send someone to the backyard quickly, and tell your wife and eldest girl that the second master Lian of the Jia family is here, and now he has arrived at the gate of the house." Let them get ready."
