The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 68 Xiao Qin's Illness

Xiao Qinzhi is ill.

When Chen Yunzhi and Chen Yunzhi went back to Fenglin Ferry early in the morning, they choked on the slightly cold lake wind on the ferry, and when they went back to the boat and lay down, they felt weak in their limbs. Xiao Qinzhi thought it was because he was tired these days, so he didn't care. Then fell asleep in a daze.

It wasn't until around noon that Fat Lao Ba returned to the ferry with Diao Cheng, Yan Lin, Dai Zong and others, and came to talk to Xiao Qinzhi, only to find that Xiao Qinzhi was unconscious, hot all over, dull complexion, and white lips , His forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he couldn't wake up.

The sixth uncle felt that Xiao Qinzhi was seriously ill, so he immediately ordered people to go to the city to find a doctor, and stood in front of the collapse and waited anxiously. The illness was washed away.

Xu Miao and Zhao Yunfei originally came to talk to Xiao Qin, but they suddenly learned that Xiao Qin was seriously ill, and the illness was almost the same as Xu Miao's father's illness last winter, so they immediately said: "Brother Qin's illness is serious. It should be due to the cold air entering the body, my father also suffered from this disease last year, at that time he invited Langzhong Li from Wu County to administer acupuncture and medicine together, and it will be cured within half a day."

Fat old Baxi said: "Brother Xianmin, where is Li Langzhong's residence? I'll send someone to invite him right away."

"At the foot of Huqiu Mountain, seven or eight miles northwest of Changmen in Wu County, there is a medicine hall. It takes about sixty miles to go back and forth. Let's start now, and we can come back at night with a light boat." Xu Miao estimated the time. And the distance, and said: "Brother Qin is very ill, he should be treated quickly, otherwise, Mr. Balang, you send someone to come with me to Wu Jun to invite Li Langzhong, he knows me, so he can talk."

The sixth uncle made up his mind and said: "Thank you, Mr. Xu Xiaolang, for letting me know, and trouble to lead my nephew to Wu County to invite Li Langzhong." He also ordered the seventh uncle to say: "Seventh brother, you rent a fast boat and bring a few troops with you. Qu and Xi Jing, let's go together, hurry back."

Xu Miao was afraid that he would be delayed on the road, so he thought carefully: "To go here, we need to take the Bodu River, starting from the Qingshui Bridge at the South Gate, passing Fangqian, Meicun, Hongshan, Chaohu and Wujun all the way, it is faster than taking the Dantu Waterway. Quite a few, but I have to ask the doctor in Wuxi City to take a look first, in case we can’t return in time and get delayed on the way, I’m afraid it will delay our illness.”

The Sixth Uncle thanked Xu Miao for his thoughtful consideration again. While ordering the Ninth Uncle to take the banquet, he also attracted the staring Xiao Shu. It won't be all right in a while, your eighth brother is going to Wu Jun to invite Li Langzhong, I have something to do, and you have to do it yourself."

Xiao Shu naturally understood, his face was dignified and serious, and he said in a low voice, "Sixth Uncle just give orders."

The sixth uncle pondered: "When the 2 million compensation paid by Fahrenheit is delivered, you can take over it, but you have to find Mr. Dai's young man first, so remember to invite him out in private, and promise to give the 2 million money to him. They are used as a reward."

Xiao Shu didn't understand why, in this way, the wound on Xiao Qinzhi's face was not in vain.

Uncle Six patiently said: "You just follow my instructions. First, go find Mr. Dai's young gentleman to explain. I will explain to you when I come back. There is not much time. I am afraid that Fahrenheit will deliver it in the afternoon. Hurry up."

Although Xiao Shu didn't understand Sixth Uncle's intentions, he thought there was no mistake, and immediately went to look for Mr. Dai's young man, that is, fat old eighth's cousin Dai Zong. He made great efforts in the morning. It should be arranged to go to the fat old man to find his cousin, but the fat old man is more familiar with Xu Miao, after all Xiao Qinzhi's illness is the top priority.

Seventh Uncle quickly rented a boat, took a few steps, and escorted the fat old eight, Xu Miao and Zhao Yunfei all the way, and immediately set off to Wu County to invite Li Langzhong.

On the other side, the person who ordered people to look for a doctor in the city also came back, and invited a doctor named Zhang, who was said to be well-known in Wuxi City, with a medicine box on his back. Goatee with a tail, after asking some things, checked it carefully, and made a conclusion that it was caused by evil spirits entering his body. He wrote a prescription and asked people to go back with him to get the medicine.

Xiao Yunzhi let Kong Qing and Dan Lu take care of Xiao Rong'er, while he himself took care of Adi, holding the wash water, and wiped his forehead and body tirelessly, watching Adi's red and swollen face gradually become a little swollen, he couldn't help but shed tears , I am happy for my brother to grow up, but also feel sad for my brother to grow up.

Reminiscent of brother toiling away for his own affairs, Xiao Yun felt even more guilty, and gradually formed a trace of uneasiness, and the growing uneasiness made him feel distressed in every possible way, so he got up suddenly and summoned Kong Qing , trembling her thin lips, said: "Kong Qing, you go and serve Xiao Lang, I—I'm inconvenient"

Kong Qing didn't understand, and said: "Big lady, what's wrong?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just go if you're told." Rather than saying that Xiao Yunzhi was angry at Kong Qing, it was better to say that it was Xiao Yunzhi who was angry at himself, and he didn't even dare to take another look, enduring the torment in his heart , hurried out of the cabin door, went to another place, slumped on the futon, wept miserably, and prayed devoutly for brother.

The worldly rumors and gossips made Xiao Yunzhi have an illusion, thinking that this is her fate, so she locked herself in the confinement room constructed by the gossips. She is confessing, begging for forgiveness, and only hopes that brother can recover safely. Don't be like Hua Yanzhi.

But she is just a woman, she has not done anything wrong, what repentance did she make?What forgiveness do you ask for?

The news of Xiao Qinzhi's illness spread like wildfire. Outsiders only said that the disease was caused by Fahrenheit, and the saliva and saliva were inevitable. Such a handsome and handsome young man, but he was born to be harmed by Fahrenheit, and he couldn't help but cast his hat on Xiao Qinzhi. Have some sympathy.

After Diao Cheng, Yan Lin and Dai Zong learned about it, they sent a lot of supplements, saying that if they need help, they can come to find it.

Zhang Xuanzhi condemned people to send a letter of worship, which can also be called a letter of war, saying that when Xiao Qin recovered from his illness, he invited him to play chess and talk, but later felt that it was inappropriate, how could he send a letter of war while he was sick, which was out of style , Special reprimand sent supplements.

Gu Kaizhi was originally quite annoyed that Xiao Qinzhi didn't write poems for his elder sister Gu Yini, but after hearing about Xiao Qin's illness, he sent some supplements as a token of his affection, and a poem as a gift: " The spring breeze enters the maple forest, bringing with it thousands of pieces of green. In August, it is warmed up at the house, and it is given to Hu Luyin."

"Hulu" is the ancient name of gourd, homonymous with "Fu, Lu", which has auspicious symbolic meaning. This is obviously a poem wishing Xiao Qinzhi a speedy recovery.

When Xie Xuan heard the news from Henry Zhang, he couldn’t help feeling disappointed in his heart. He couldn’t wait for this game, so he simply went back to the small boat. Seeing that sister was resting, he didn’t bother, and only ordered the boatman to set off for Kuaiji.

Xie Daoyun slept until sunset and only woke up. Recalling the boating on Taihu Lake last night, he still had a lingering aftertaste. Turning to one side, he saw Xie Xuanzheng staring at him with resentment in his eyes, but he made it clear without saying a word.

Xie Daoyun didn't care, and took off the small crown casually, her blue hair fell down one after another, draped to her shoulders, and she looked at herself in the mirror, there was still a trace of sleepiness on her face, like a rising cloud, her red lips were a little rosy, and her black eyebrows were horizontal Slanted, less heroic, more charming.

Xie Xuan rubbed his cheeks, complaining: "Sister, don't you want to say something?"

Xie Daoyun's brows and eyes were slanted, and he stared sideways, and suddenly became severe, and said: "Last night, I had a chat with Mr. Xiao Lang, but I haven't seen you for dozens of days. Mr. Xiao Lang has improved a lot. On the other hand, brother, you have made no progress. You complain about yourself all day long, you don’t think about making progress, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you are the third one, if the uncle of the teacher finds out, he will be reprimanded."

Xie Xuan's alarm sounded loudly, his heart jumped in fright, and he flattered him: "Sister, don't tell uncle that I—I promise to study hard when I get back."

Xie Daoyun continued to reprimand: "One journey of mountains, one journey of water, mountains and rivers take turns, nothing is eternal. From the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period to the survivors of Qin Fen VI, the great cause of King Qin sweeping Liuhe, Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang The Great Han Dynasty was first established, and Emperor Guangwu continued his life in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Did they ever think that Qin II would die, the Western Han Dynasty would be destroyed by Wang Mang, and the Eastern Han Dynasty would be destroyed by the Three Kingdoms. Even emperors for thousands of years cannot guarantee the prosperity of a family, not to mention our aristocratic family. Duckweed in the rain, ups and downs, drifting, how can you not think about making progress, and then lie flat?"

Xie Xuan wondered, "What is lying down?"

"Lie down straight, eat and wait to die, that's called lying flat." Xie Daoyun said lightly, and finally dismissed brother after a lecture, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and walked out of the cabin door, wanting to get some toilet water to wash .

Suddenly, Xie Daoyun was stunned, and her beautiful eyes turned cold, because the outside world changed its appearance, with oblique shadows, dark light and heavy wind, Qiaozhi Wucheng at dusk, Wu Jun was right in front of her eyes.

Xie Daoyun felt some inexplicable loss in his heart, and the two sides kept retreating, trying to hide this layer of loss in his heart, and left, and he didn't know when the next encounter would be.

Xie Daoyun tucked her hair behind her ears, sniffed the dusk, it was a little moist, then looked back at Adi, and said calmly:

"Brother, let's talk about Xuan."

Xie Xuan shook his head without thinking about it.

"Play chess."

Xie Xuan still shook his head.

"Then write a poem."

Xie Xuan thought for a while, then shook his head again.

Xie Daoyun glanced angrily, feeling helpless, and muttered to herself: "It's a pity that I am a daughter."

Xie Xuanru was struck by lightning, his face flushed suddenly, the embroidered fist in his hand was clenched tightly, and he swore in his heart: "Xiao Qinzhi, I will definitely beat you."

Xie Daoyun lay on the soft bed, stared at the cabin roof, and asked, "How did you solve the Fahrenheit matter in the morning?"

Xie Xuan slowed down, and replied flatly: "What else can I do, make an apology, plus compensate Xiao's 2 million, this is the end of this matter."

"Well! In this way, I can accept it. Fahrenheit lost half his life, and Xiao Langjun got justice. I think Xiao Langjun got his wish, and he should return to Wujin at this moment." Xiao Qinzhi said when he was boating last night. As soon as the matter is resolved today, I will return to Wujin immediately. Xie Daoyun thought about it, and it is not a pity to say goodbye.

Xie Xuan thought for a while, but he still didn't hide anything, and said, "He can't go back."

Xie Daoyun looked sideways: "Huh? What happened?"

"He is sick, and he is asking a doctor to treat him in the morning."

Xie Daoyun closed her eyes, suddenly fell silent, she was speechless for a long time, the silence left no trace on her face, and worry climbed into her heart again.
