Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 254 Who Can Predict Today
Just when there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the capital.

The Hou Mansion was still busy and busy as usual.

Zhang Jinyu even slept in and hadn't woken up yet. After picking up Qin Keqing last night, she was gentle again and slept soundly.

But in Hou Mansion, the mansion is brightly lit up and down the night, and the servants and servants carry luggage and supplies overnight.

The big camp outside the Dongcheng Pass was packed up early, and the soldiers arrived at the pier one after another. After allocating the various buildings and ships, they boarded the ships directly together with the horses. Waiting for Lord Hou.

Zhao Si came to the pier early to prepare with a guard from the Imperial City Department, and directly assigned a building boat.

Looking at such a majestic navy, I was also relieved. This trip to the south of the Yangtze River must be bloody. If there is no navy escort, this waterway miscellaneous family will not leave even if they are killed. Those noble families in the south of the Yangtze River are not Winner of cannibalism without spitting out bones.

Zhao Si immediately ordered all the people from Huangcheng Division to board the ship, and then said to Li Yunqianhu behind him;

"Li Qianhu must take someone to carefully inspect the ship, this journey is not smooth."

Li Qianhu also clasped his fist at Eunuch Zhao,

"Don't worry, Grand Duke, the humble official will definitely check carefully."

Then they boarded the building boat with a guard of the Imperial City Division and began to search.

Eunuch Zhao was watching from the bank with the little yellow gate, and then looked back at the bank again, and saw that there were many guard soldiers sitting there listlessly, group after group, like defeated soldiers.

At first glance, they are the people of the guards, who are neglected to discipline them. What can these people do?

Eunuch Zhao stood on the shore and looked at the deck. The forest on the deck was in a mess, and there were many unknown things. There were even soldiers' clothes hanging on it, which was simply unsightly.

There are messy things everywhere, just like those dirty little eunuchs in the palace, it is disgusting.

Zhao Si couldn't help but asked suspiciously,
"Niu Baihu, go and ask what's going on with the guards over there? Why are they all gathered there, what's it like?"

"Yes, Grand Duke."

Hundreds of cattle and tigers ran to the guards standing guard at the pier to inquire about what happened to the guard soldiers on the shore.

After a while,
Niu Hu ran back, a little anxious;
"I would like to report to the Grand Duke, these guards on the shore came here yesterday. The people who transported the Jinling Guards by water were all left by Luo Yunhou as soon as they arrived yesterday. They were replaced by the guards of the capital wharf. These soldiers are under the temporary control of General Lu, but the tents are not yet ready so we have to stay here."

Hearing the words, Zhao Si was also determined. Luo Yunhou was indeed a meticulous and cautious person, and his actions were decisive, and he immediately saw something wrong.

This trip to Jiangnan, Zajia still has to rely a lot on Luo Yunhou, those damn guys in Jiangnan, who provoke Tianjia so much, trouble Zajia to go to Jiangnan in person, hmph, Zajia's trip is not in vain.

Inside the Anhu camp in Beijing, there was also a hustle and bustle of people and horses.

The soldiers of the frontier army also got up early, packed up their supplies early, and went their separate ways after eating the last meal in the Beijing camp.

Niu Jizong and others also rushed back to Beijing camp last night. Although they drank a lot of wine, they didn't have a good rest all night, and they felt a little bit reluctant.

Jia Lian and Wang Ren from the Beijing camp also came with their personal guards to see them off. Seeing the four former brothers rushing to the border, Jia Lian felt a sense of happiness in his heart. He really couldn't do without Beijing Flower World.

On the other hand, Wang Ren sent him off sincerely. I don't know when we will see each other after this farewell.

Then everyone bid farewell at the Yuanmen of Jingying one by one.

After leaving the camp, the soldiers and horses of all ministries began to speed up and go northward.

"Drive, drive!"

Zhang Jinyu, on the other hand, was not in a hurry and slept until he woke up naturally.

Woke up early in the morning, changed clothes frantically, and finished washing under the service of Qin Keqing.

Then he went to Dongyun Building, ate breakfast slowly in the hall, humming a little song from time to time, which made Qin Keqing beside him a little puzzled, why he was so happy.

Yesterday in the Qin Mansion, Qin Ye went to the pharmacy to get the medicine after being diagnosed and treated by the doctor. He decocted the medicine and drank a bowl.

After a short break,
Qin Ye's complexion is bright, and he is much more energetic, and he can get up by himself.

Only then did Qin Keqing feel relieved, and finally told Madam Wu not to drink alcohol to her father, but to eat some light liquid food.

Grandma Wu promised again and again, it was getting late, and Qin Ye urged her again and again, so Qin Keqing reluctantly returned to Hou's Mansion.

It's just that as soon as he returned to the Hou's mansion, he saw that the mansion began to move supplies. After asking, it turned out that he was going to Jiangnan.

Qin Keqing was still vaguely worried about her father's body, but the emperor ordered him to do nothing, so she had to clean up briefly.

Now seeing Lang Jun like this, I asked;
"Lang Jun, why are you so happy."

"Well, I'm ready to go to Jiangnan to play. I can't be happy. The place in Jiangnan is good. I haven't been to the place in Jiangnan, so let's take it as good."

Zhang Jinyu just wanted to tease Qin Keqing, who would have thought that when Qin Keqing's eyes turned red, she would shed tears of grievance;

"Lang Jun, the slave family is still worried about my father's health."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I've made arrangements for you as a husband. The old man is now a member of the Hou family. This time, I will keep him at the house to be watched by the father-in-law at any time, and his son and daughter are all masters of Xinglin. To get his mantle, I will take the two of them to the south together."

Zhang Jinyu really thought of this point, the old doctor Zhong Gu Xingren is a veteran of Xinglin, and the medicine is accurate and the ingredients are right.

"Come on,"

"Report, what's the matter with Lord Hou?"

The guard outside the door hurried in.

"You go and tell the new Lang Zhong Gu Xingren in the house to ask him to take the stewards of the house to accompany him to buy medicinal materials, and you follow, and tell him by the way, let his son and daughter go south together, remember that there are more medicinal materials. Buy some and take them with you on the boat, in case you don’t get used to the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River, let the medicine store directly record it on the account of the Hou Mansion."

"Yes, Lord Hou, I will do it myself."

Zhang Jinyu specifically reminded that the south of the Yangtze River is humid and hot, so there must be people who are not acclimated to the water and soil, and it will be troublesome if they fall ill.

Qin Keqing stared at herself with bright eyes, and said with a smile;
"It's still the gentleman who is thoughtful, the servants thought the gentleman had forgotten."

"Look at what you said, eat quickly, you have to leave today."

"Ah."

Qin Keqing lowered her head obediently, and continued to take small bites.

The guards beside Zhang Jinyu walked towards a small courtyard in the Hou's Mansion. The courtyard in the southwest corner of the Hou's Mansion is where Gu Langzhong's family of three lived. The furnishings and bedding in the house were all new.

There are four houses and a small courtyard, seeing Gu Xingren and his sons and daughters are full of joy.

"Father, is this where we will live in the future? What a beautiful house."

Gu Xingren's daughter Gu Zixiang asked excitedly.

"Of course, father, are we considered medical officers of the Hou Mansion now?"

His son Gu Yunshi also asked beside him.

"Forget it, forget it, if anyone in the house is not feeling well in the future, they should be more careful when looking at it, Zixiang, there are many female relatives in the house, remember to pay attention to the dosage when taking medicine."

"I know, I know, my medical skills are much better than my brother's."

Hearing his daughter's impatient voice, Gu Xingren's heart also warmed up, and now he has settled down.

Gu Xingren saw that the Hou Mansion treated him very generously, and he was grateful from the bottom of his heart. In terms of medical skills, he was never submissive when he was young, and he had offended many senior Xinglin. A certain future and future, now it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the wish.

Outside the courtyard, the guard knocked on the door and walked in.
Seeing Lang Zhong Gu Xingren sitting in the yard, he said;

"Gu Langzhong, Lord Hou ordered that this time you go to the south of the Yangtze River, you need to accompany the doctor, and your two sons and daughters need to accompany the ship, and you need to buy a lot of medicinal materials to ship the ship now, in case the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are not acclimatized."

"Okay, the old man almost forgot about it,"

Gu Xingren slapped his thigh, then asked the boss to explain,
"Yunshi, you follow me to buy medicinal materials, Zixiang packs up and salutes, you and your eldest brother are going to Jiangnan with the boat."

"Understood, father, go to the medicine store and buy more Cangzhu, Bupleurum, Notopterygium, Fangfeng, Baizhi, Chuanxiong, Patchouli, etc. The humidity and heat in the south of the Yangtze River must be unacceptable."

A clear and bright voice came, and Gu Yunshi followed his father out of the courtyard, so he could only shout back;
"understood."

When they arrived at the front yard, the steward prepared the carriage and waited. After getting on the carriage, the personal guards drove the carriage to the medicine store in Dongchengfang City.

Entering the pharmacy, the pharmacy is full of various herbal medicines, and the medicine cabinets are full of various finished Chinese medicines.

On the other side of the pharmacy lobby, the herbal medicine collectors and the herbal medicine sellers are always coming and going, and the business is considered to be booming.

Gu Xingren got out of the car, walked in familiarly, and walked directly to the big shopkeeper. Chai Ren, the big shopkeeper of the medicine shop, felt someone coming, so he looked up.

As soon as I looked up, I saw that it was an old acquaintance Gu Yuyi, and it was wrong, now it is Gu Langzhong, so I asked;

"Why does Gu Langzhong have the time to come to me today? Didn't you leave Beijing? The Imperial Medical Order has sealed you tightly."

"Look at what you said, the old man still has a pair of children to arrange, how can he just leave."

Gu Xingren's old face was also dim, and he answered in a somewhat embarrassing manner.

"Then you should go. You can't open a medical center in the capital, and you can't buy medicinal materials. What are you doing here?"

"Well, who said that you can't buy medicinal materials?"

The guards of the Hou Mansion behind him didn't hear clearly, only heard the big shopkeeper say that he couldn't buy the medicinal materials, so he sternly reprimanded him.

"This, this, it's not about you."

Chai Rencai, the big shopkeeper of the medicine shop, was so frightened that he stood up and apologized.
"Okay, shopkeeper Chai, the herb, Bupleurum, Notopterygium, Fangfeng, Angelica dahurica, Chuanxiong, patchouli, Peucedanum, forsythia, tangerine peel, hawthorn, citrus aurantium, malt, licorice, platycodon, etc. Yes, now this old man is working as a medical officer in Luoyunhou's mansion. We still need to deal with him more in the future."

As soon as the words fell, Chai Ren didn't know whether he was surprised or didn't react, so Chai Ren didn't speak until Gu Langzhong patted the table, which woke up the shopkeeper.

"Doctor Gu, the old man has taken it, it really is a road that never ends,"

Shopkeeper Chai even called out the imperial doctor, and unconsciously lowered his head. The guard behind him also took another look at Gu Langzhong, and kept the shopkeeper's words in his heart, and he wanted to report it to Lord Hou when he went back.

"Okay, don't be sloppy, quickly prepare the medicinal materials that the old man needs, and send them directly to the Hou Mansion, where someone will pay for you."

Gu Xingren urged there,

"Yes, this old man will go right away. Doctor Gu needs so much to use up. There are a lot of medicinal materials in the warehouse."

The shopkeeper asked again worriedly.

"Everything, nothing less, and a few older plants of Qianjinzi, Chuanwu, Jiulixiang and other special medicinal materials."

"This is poisonous medicine,"

"go."

"Yes Yes."

The big shopkeeper took his staff to the warehouse to inspect and load the trucks, while Doctor Gu asked his son to go with him to inspect the goods.

Instead, he came to the counter of the pharmacy, took some poisonous herbs and packed them in wooden boxes, and took some good Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos by the way.

Then he gave up, and the purchased medicinal materials were seen by the guards behind him, but the guards did not intervene and only waited to report to Lord Hou after returning home.
