Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 255
The people in the pharmacy moved quickly.

After checking that the medicinal materials are correct, let the pharmacist start to carry them.

quickly,

A few cars were filled up in a short while, and then everyone went to Hou's mansion. During the period, the shopkeeper kept talking nicely by his side, and when no one was around, the big shopkeeper suddenly said something in his ear, Lao Gu! The reason why the imperial doctor is the imperial doctor is to treat the Tian family, but some people don't want you to practice medicine, there must be a lot of reasons behind it, Hou's mansion is a good place, stay well.

Doctor Gu is getting old now, so naturally he doesn't think about those useless things any more. It's the most important thing to settle down with his two sons and daughters that he finally got. As for the imperial doctor's orders, let him go.

Arrived at the Hou Mansion,

The steward inspected the herbs in the medicine store in the mansion, and after giving money to the steward of the medicine store, he asked the guards of the Hou's mansion to transport the medicinal materials to the pier for loading.

The accompanying guards were going to report to Lord Hou after seeing that the medicinal materials were purchased, but Doctor Gu grabbed his arm and said;
"Wait a minute, the old man will go with you."

"Success, keep up."

The personal guard brought Doctor Gu to the backyard and entered Dongyun Building.

In fact, the Hou Mansion was ready last night. Zhang Jinyu was only at the mansion. After the purchased medicinal materials were in place, he could set off. When he saw the guards and the doctor coming in, he asked anxiously;
"What's the matter, are the medicinal materials ready?"

"Going back to the Marquis' Mansion, I've already bought it at the pier, and Marquis, Gu Langzhong is the former imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Center in Beijing, and the medicine bought at the medicine store contains several poisonous plants."

The personal guard told out everything he knew about Gu Yuyi's behavior in the medicine shop.

Zhang Jinyu also turned her head to look over, and sure enough, the old doctor was so experienced in practicing medicine that day, he must be not an ordinary person, imperial doctor, that's clear.

"Doctor Gu is hiding his secrets."

Gu Xingren immediately knelt on the ground and said;

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for taking care of you. This old man has nothing to repay him. He only has his medical skills. I will repay you to Lord Hou. I also hope that Lord Hou will take care of the old man and his sons and daughters."

When Zhang Jinyu saw the old man kneeling on the ground, he also felt compassion. If he was alone, he would not dare to take him in. It would be better if there were more families and houses. But why did he buy poison?

"Get up. This Marquis won't ask any more questions. I'll accept you, just put your heart into it. As for your sons and daughters, they should also serve as medical officers in the mansion. There are many female relatives in the mansion, so they are still needed. This Marquis asks you, just now the personal guard said You bought poison, why?"

Doctor Gu stood up and replied respectfully;

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your great kindness. The old man and his sons and daughters are also inheriting the mantle of Xinglin. The blue is better than the blue, and they will definitely serve them carefully. As for the poisons bought, there are many hot and humid miasmas in the south of Lord Hou. Some poisonous diseases need to fight poison with poison. Most of them are used to treat diarrhea and remove moisture."

This is true, although some medicinal materials are poisonous, but a few of them can be the antidote when combined, so he nodded,

"Understood, what about you, from now on you will go to the Qin Mansion more often to take care of my father-in-law. Now, let your son and daughter know that they are ready to go."

"Yes, Lord Hou, this old man will go now."

When Zhang Jinyu saw the doctor walking away, he said to the guard;

"Tell General Ning that we can go."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Soon,
Zhang Jinyu and his party arrived at the Anhu Wharf in the capital, and all the buildings and ships have been debugged. Mr. Zhao and Eunuch Zhao have been waiting for a long time.

After finally seeing the convoy of the Hou's Mansion, he hurriedly brought the Imperial City Secretary Niu Baihu to welcome it.

"Oh, Lord Hou, you are here."

Zhang Jinyu was riding on the horse, and saw an old eunuch with white temples approaching from afar, knowing that this person was Zhao Si, who was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, and didn't hold back, so she got off the horse and walked over to say;
"It turned out to be Brother Zhao. It's a sin for the Marquis to delay."

Zhao Si was like a spring breeze when he heard it, and he was also happy in his heart. As expected, Luo Yunhou had no aversion to the handicapped people in the big house, and smiled happily;

"Master Hou was joking, it's just in time, just in time, the sky is bright and the breeze is gentle, it's a good time to sail."

"Then, Brother Zhao, let's not wait any longer, get on the boat and rest first, and then we'll set off."

Zhang Jinyu saw that there was no one on the pier for a long time. Except for his personal guards, everyone else had already boarded the ship, so he said directly without delay.

"Okay, hurry up, Lord Hou, the miscellaneous family will board the boat first."

After being polite, Zhao Si boarded the boat with the people from the Imperial City Department around him.

Zhang Jinyu came to the side of the carriage, helped Mrs. Wang, Qin Keqing and others get out of the carriage, boarded the building boat that had been prepared, and shouted to Ning Bian when everything was in order;

"Ningbian, inform the navy to set off."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Yongbyon signaled his departure with a semaphore at the bow, and then a horn sounded on the leading ship,

"Ohh Ohh ohh."

Immediately, the entire navy fleet slowly left the pier and sailed towards Anhu, preparing to sail along the lake into Anshui and enter the canal.

"Quick, quick, pull up the sails, the towers on the rear deck, the flag soldiers will be there one by one, and give new numbers to the ships behind."

"Yes, my lord Commander."

On the leading ship, Commander Lu also used his housekeeping skills to constantly lead the fleet to adjust the course. Fortunately, the weather was sunny today, and the guards on board were also veterans on the water, so everything went well.

Now above Anhu Lake, riding the wind, the blue waves are rippling, sparkling under the sunshine, full of vitality.

This scene,
The second daughter, Yueshu, who was beside Mrs. Wang, was very surprised to see it, but Yang Hanyu was a little afraid of the water, so she went back to the cabin to rest after watching it for a while.

Qin Keqing stood on the deck, looked down at the lake and felt a little dizzy, so she said;
"Lang Jun, I feel a little dizzy looking at the lake water."

Zhang Jinyu hurried over and said worriedly;
"Don't look, go, go back to the room and rest."

Without waiting for Qin Keqing to speak, she helped her into the cabin. The cabin of the building is obviously the same as the house in the house, spacious and bright, the decoration inside is extremely luxurious, with beds, tables and chairs.

Even the partition screens were erected there, which made Zhang Jinyu a novelty, and he was not afraid of the boat shaking and falling down.

Helping Qin Keqing to lie on the bed, she asked Baozhu to call Gu Zixiang, the female medical officer on board the ship.

Baozhu responded and went out. Seeing this, Qin Keqing said;
"My family is fine. It is inevitable that I will feel uncomfortable when I board the ship for the first time. What kind of medical officer are you called?"

"It's better to let her take a look. After all, they are all from the family, which is convenient."

How could Zhang Jinyu be willing to make Qin Keqing feel so uncomfortable, besides, he still needs to try that little girl, Doctor Gu has a lot to say, and he doesn't know if it's true or not.

After a while,
She saw a small girl named Gu Zixiang walking in with a big medicine box on her back, wearing bright yellow clothes, bouncing all the way into the hatch, before reaching the bed, she yelled;
"Who wants to see a doctor?"

Zhang Jinyu and Qin Keqing looked at the little girl in a daze. This is the medical officer in the family. Whether it is reliable or not, Qin Keqing stared at Zhang Jinyu on the bed.

Knowing what Keqing meant, Zhang Jinyu smiled awkwardly, and said to the little girl;
"Wait a minute, you are Gu Zixiang, the daughter of Imperial Physician Gu?"

"Yeah, if it's fake, what's the matter?"

The little girl was still a little puzzled, didn't she come to see a doctor, and asked why.

asked impatiently;
"I don't want to see a doctor anymore."

Zhang Jinyu was impatient seeing the little girl, and was a little speechless, let's try it first, and said;

"Look, madam is a little dizzy."

Before she finished speaking, she was squeezed by the little girl and got up from the stool. When Baozhu saw her, she wanted to scold her, but was stopped by Zhang Jinyu.
"Shut up, it's important to let her see a doctor."

Baozhu just stood there with her mouth pursed in disbelief.

The little girl reached out her hand directly, touched Qin Keqing's wrist to feel the pulse, then touched Qin Keqing's forehead, finally took out the silver needle, and stabbed it on Qin Keqing's arm smoothly.

Seeing Zhang Jinyu was terrified, but seeing Qin Keqing's complexion visibly improved, he thought to himself, the little girl has real talents and practical learning, and it's okay to be good at medicine if she has a bad temper.

"Hey, it's really comfortable, thank you Zixiang."

Qin Keqing obviously felt much more comfortable, so she opened her eyes and thanked the little girl.

"You're welcome, madam was last night, she must have suffered from the wind and cold, cold sweat, now on board the boat, the wind blows, she must be dizzy, I'll make madam a bowl of heat-clearing and calming medicine to drink for a day and see better immediately."

The little girl explained from the side with high spirits.

When Zhang Jinyu heard the little girl say that Qin Keqing had a cold last night, her face turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed when she thought of the absurd things last night, so she said;
"Then madam just take a break and go out to have a look for her husband."

"Lang Jun, be careful, Baozhu puts the cloak on Lord Hou."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qin Keqing told Baozhu to take the cloak and put it on Lord Hou.

After Zhang Jinyu dressed and saw that nothing was wrong, she opened the door and went out of the cabin, and came to the deck.

Mrs. Wang and her party had long since disappeared on the deck, and they were all brothers from the Pioneer Battalion patrolling and watching.

Also, the wind on the deck has obviously become stronger, and the cold air is still very heavy, especially on the lake, which is basically the same, so it must be boring to watch for a while.

Zhang Jinyu wrapped her cloak around her and continued walking to the bow of the boat.

Seeing that Yongbyon was still standing on the bow cabin and commanding,

just asked;
"Ningbian, what's the matter?"

"Master Hou, it's going well. The fleet has entered Anshui and will be able to reach the pier in Fuling County at night."

Yongbyon also replied with a tired look on his face.

Seeing Ningbian like this, Zhang Jinyu also complained, so she said anxiously;
"You leave the command of the ship to Duan Hong to watch over. You go back and get a good sleep. This section of the waterway is fine. I'm worried about entering the border of Jiangbei."

"What Hou Ye means is that there may be changes in the south of the Yangtze River? They will ambush us on the river."

Seeing Lord Hou's worry, Ning Bian asked tentatively.

"It's just a guess, Master Ben doesn't know, but be careful."

Zhang Jinyu stood on the deck and looked towards the south. She didn't know what would happen to those people if they got the news. No matter what, if they provoke Lao Tzu, they would definitely not let them go.

"Yes, Lord Hou, the general will know."

Ning Bian didn't insist anymore, he asked his personal guards to tell General Duan, and then he clasped his fists and retreated to rest.

the other side,
Duan Hong received the order from his personal guards, and even brought the soldiers himself, and began to patrol from the stern of the building. The reason why he was so careful was that Duan Hong himself was an infantry general and knew nothing about the navy, so he had to be careful.

And Zhang Jinyu, who was at the bow of the boat, was also heartbroken watching the huge navy sailing on the river, when suddenly a thunder sounded from the front.
