My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 159 Letter from Tongguan
Baoyu was taken back by the attackers, but Jia Mu and others looked at Qingwen, with many people's eyes shining.

I can't help but shine, Qingwen's hand is really amazing.

Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, colds and fevers are too common. If you are too lazy to go to the hospital, you can just go to the pharmacy and buy some cold medicine and antipyretic medicine, which will only last a week at best.

But for people in this era, cold and fever are not a minor illness, they can kill people.

And this guy won't look at you differently just because you have a noble status. Don't you see that in another historical time and space, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were still very few princes and princesses who died of colds and fevers?
Therefore, the more wealthy people are, they basically turn a blind eye to colds and fevers.

Now they actually witnessed a miracle with their own eyes. They only took a small packet of white powder mixed with warm water, and the high fever went away in less than half an hour.

In their eyes, this is simply a miracle medicine, and Qingwen, who only has one hand and cannot even count as a three-legged cat, has become a miracle doctor in their eyes.

"Qingwen... Brother Yu gave you this medicine?" Jia Mu was the first to ask, but she completely lost her usual composure, and even her voice became a little trembling.

"Yes!" Qingwen nodded.

"Are there more of this medicine?" This time it was Mrs. Wang's turn to ask.

Qingwen opened the medicine box and looked at it, shook her head and said: "It's not a lot, there are probably more than ten packs left.

When I gave it to my maid, I told her to save some money and not to let it go out.

If it hadn't been for the lady's order today, the maid wouldn't have taken it out. "

"That's right... Brother Yu is right. This magical medicine is for life-saving purposes, so of course it must be used sparingly."

Jia Mu nodded repeatedly, and then sternly said to everyone in the room: "You guys, listen to me, no one is allowed to say anything about this today.

If the old woman hears anyone who dares to gossip, don't blame the old woman for being rude. "

Seeing Mrs. Jia's rare serious expression, everyone in the room nodded quickly.

We are not children, and we all understand that the fewer people who know the secret, the better.

Didn't you hear what Qingwen said? There are only more than ten packs of this magical medicine.

Once this matter is leaked to the whole world, it won't take long before there will be an endless stream of people asking for medicine, and they will not be able to take care of them.

Looking at everyone who was nodding their heads, Jia Mu sighed secretly in her heart.

As a person who has lived for most of her life, she certainly knows that trying to keep the secret secret from those present is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Apart from anything else, she couldn't force the doctor Wang to keep secrets just by being present. What's more, there were so many maids and women inside and outside the house. Trying to ask these people to keep secrets was like asking a brothel to keep secrets. It is equally difficult for a woman to maintain her virginity.

The only thing she could do was to suppress the heat of the matter as much as possible so that it would not spread to the whole city so quickly.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu held Yuan Chun's little hand apologetically, "Big girl...it's the old lady who has caused trouble for you this time.

I'm afraid there won't be fewer people coming to see you in the future. "

Unexpectedly, Yuanchun was not anxious at all, but comforted: "What did the ancestor say? Sister Lin is my grandson's cousin, there is no reason to refuse to save him.

Besides, ancestor, do you really think this matter will bring trouble to your grandson? "

"Isn't it?" Jia Mu looked at her in shock.

"Girl, don't underestimate this magical medicine. Do you know that once word of what happened today is spread, I'm afraid General Zhaoyong's Mansion will become the target of public criticism, and there will be an endless stream of people coming to ask for medicine every day.

Ignore those ordinary people, they can't enter the gate of General Zhaoyong's mansion, but how can you refuse those who are also members of the noble family?

Or what about those royal homes?Those are not the people we are qualified to reject! "

Seeing Jia Mu's anxious expression, Yuan Chun chuckled: "Ancestor, you might as well change your mind.

Those who come to ask for medicine must have the nerve to come empty-handed. It would be better if they really dare to come empty-handed. It means that they owe us a big favor.

What debt is the hardest to repay these days?A debt of gratitude!

Even if there are too many people asking for medicine, we can’t refuse them.

The worst case scenario is that my grandson immediately goes to the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen and offers all the medicine to His Majesty and the Queen. If my grandson doesn’t believe it, those people still dare to chase her into the palace and force her to do it? "

"hiss……"

When Jia Mu and Yuan Chun were talking, Baochai, Tanchun and the other girls were listening.

When Jia Mu first expressed her worries, they all felt the same way. If they were to put themselves in their shoes, once they had to face the pressure from the entire Daxia powerful class, just thinking about it would make people collapse.

But looking back at Yuanchun, he easily turned the pressure into help.

Yuanchun is right, you can come to your door to ask for medicine.

But you can't go to someone's house empty-handed and go whore for free. Once this kind of thing gets out, you should stop being a human being.

Everyone hangs out in the same circle. Once you get a bad reputation, who will dare to play with you in the future?

In a circle, you can be bad or greedy, but trust is something you can never lose. Once you lose it, it means you are no longer outside the circle.

Besides, Yuanchun also said that if he really couldn't bear it, the worst he could do was donate all these medicines to the queen.

As long as the queen's brain is not broken, she will never refuse. Who would be stupid enough to refuse a life-saving miracle medicine.

Once the things are in the hands of the royal family, who dares to ask for things from the emperor without risking his life?

The best thing is that Yuanchun transfers the pressure to the royal family, and the royal family has to accept her favor. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, everyone took a breath of cold air and looked at Yuanchun in a different way.

On weekdays, Yuanchun always looks virtuous and dignified, like a caring big sister, but she didn't expect that once she starts to play tricks on her, she can be called cruel.

Baochai was especially shocked. In fact, when the Xue family came to Beijing this time, in addition to having to go to Beijing to avoid trouble because Xue Pan ordered his servants to beat someone to death, Aunt Xue also gave her a list of candidates for the palace. .

Sister Bao

Aunt Xue's idea was the same as that of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, which was to try to take the daughter's route. As long as her daughter could climb onto the emperor's bed, the Xue family could take off again.

Originally Baochai also felt that with his appearance and talents, once he entered the palace, he would not only gain the emperor's favor immediately, but at least he would not do badly.

But after seeing Yuanchun's reaction today, she felt that she seemed to have thought too simply about entering the palace.

Even Yuanchun, a woman with good looks and good looks, had to waste ten years in the palace, and finally had to leave the palace to get married. Even if she was really selected into the palace, would she be able to achieve success?
"Perhaps I should ask my cousin for advice if I have a chance." Baochai thought silently in her heart...

…………

Facts have proved that Jia Mu's concerns are not unfounded, and there are no real secrets in wealthy circles.Even though Mother Jia issued a hush-hush order, the news that the mistress of General Zhaoyong's Mansion had a life-saving medicine soon spread among Daxia's high-level circles.

Of course, although the news spread, it did not have much impact on General Zhao Yong's mansion for a while. After all, Jia Yu's aura of expedition was still there, and no one would be stupid enough to come and ask for it right away.

Moreover, the high-level circles knew about it, and Emperor Changping, as the emperor of Daxia, naturally also heard about it.

That night, Emperor Changping rested in the White Queen's Fengzao Palace. The White Queen told her husband about the incident as a casual conversation.

white queen

After hearing this, Emperor Changping laughed and shook his head: "This Jia Yu, even if he goes on an expedition, he will not be at peace."

The White Queen, who was nestled in his arms, also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if Yuanchun really has that kind of life-saving magic medicine, should we also ask her for a few packets in case of emergency?"

Emperor Changping felt a little moved in his heart, but then he still shook his head: "It's inappropriate... As the emperor, how can I take the initiative to ask for things from my ministers? If I spread the word, it would not make people laugh.

The only thing I'm worried about now is that Jia Yu has been on the expedition for seven or eight days, but no news has been received at all. It's really worrying. "

Mentioning this matter, the White Queen also frowned slightly, "Yeah... Jia Yu only brought an army of [-] people to the expedition this time, but he had to face a hundred thousand troops of the Mongolian Tatars who were extremely vicious. I don't know if he can return safely. ."

Emperor Changping glanced at her and was speechless.

Is this what I'm worried about? What I'm concerned about is whether she can hold back the Mongols to buy time for the prince's army. What I'm concerned about is whether Daxia can be a permanent power.

The difference in thinking between men and women is reflected at this time.

Because of the relationship between Yuanchun and Yuanchun, the White Queen loves Jia Yu and has a good impression of Jia Yu, so she naturally expressed her concern for Jia Yu.

Emperor Changping was different. Although he admired Jia Yu, in his heart, the first place was always the country and the country of Daxia.

At this time, what he was most worried about was that one day he would just wake up and receive news that the Mongolian army had arrived at Shenjing City.

If Daxia was destroyed in his own hands, he would have no shame to meet the ancestors of the old Li family even if he died.

However, the worries of Emperor Changping and Queen Bai may have played a role. During the morning of the next day, Emperor Changping was discussing with officials the affairs of King Qin's soldiers and horses in various places, and the imperial guards responsible for guarding the palace hurriedly came to report.

"Your Majesty... there is a messenger outside the Meridian Gate reporting military information!"

"Oh...is it from Liaodong or Tongguan?" Emperor Changping asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, this is news from Tongguan!"

"Hurry... declare..."

"Here!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, and the envoy will come to see you!"

Soon, a veteran officer was brought to the Emperor's Palace by the Imperial Guards outside the palace.

In the presence of all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, this man first saluted Emperor Changping and said loudly: "The villain, Feng Ziying, the commander of the five-city army and horse side of East City, comes to see your majesty. May my emperor live long live!"

"Be flat!"

Emperor Changping waved his hand and said impatiently: "Feng Ziying, why are you coming to Beijing this time? Is there any news from Jia Yu?"

"Exactly!"

Feng Ziying stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister came to Beijing this time to report the news on the order of Lord Jia Yujia.

Half a month ago, after I was ordered to go on an expedition, Mr. Jia led his army to bypass Tongguan via a small road, and then began to continuously harass the nomadic camps of the Mongolian Tatars, implementing the strategy of supporting war with war.

A total of more than 6000 Tatar herdsmen were killed in various camps dedicated to providing supplies to the Tatars, and more than 2 Tatar cattle and sheep were seized, as well as more than [-] war horses..."

"Wow..."

As soon as Feng Ziying said this, there was a commotion in Huangji Palace.

Emperor Changping's eyes also shone and he clenched his right hand.

"A few days later, Tuotuo Buhua in Tongguan finally realized something was wrong and sent six thousand elite cavalry from the Horqin tribe to encircle and suppress our army.

After hearing the news, Master Jia led the entire army in a white posture near a place called Nianzhuang, and started a fierce battle with the six thousand Mongolian cavalry.

After a great battle, the Mongolian Tatars left more than 3000 corpses and fled in confusion.

In the days that followed, Lord Jia led his army to continuously ambush the Mongolian Tatars around Tongguan.

Since our army captured more than 2 war horses, the army moved extremely quickly.

Master Jia led his brothers to evacuate quickly when encountering a large group of Tatars. When encountering a small group of Tatars, they pounced on them like hungry wolves and bit them.

In less than four or five days, our army annihilated a total of five to six thousand Tatar troops.

However, due to the seizure of too many cattle and sheep supplies, Lord Jia felt it was inconvenient to carry them, so he ordered his ministers to lead his troops to bring the cattle and sheep supplies, the heads of Mongolian Tatars and the remains of fallen soldiers back to Shenjing.

In addition, Wei Chen also brought a memorial written by Master Jia to His Majesty, please read it! "

After saying that, Feng Ziying took out a envelope sealed with fire paint from the package behind her and raised her hands above her head.

Dai Quan, who was standing next to the dragon chair, immediately stepped forward to take the envelope. After checking it, he handed it to Emperor Changping.

Emperor Changping checked the integrity of the paint before tearing open the envelope and taking out a piece of white letterhead. When he opened the letterhead and saw that it was full of crooked vulgar characters, he knew it must be Jia Yu's own handwriting. There is no doubt what was written.

It's just that the words that used to be annoying to him when he looked at them looked so beautiful to him now.

After hastily reading the memorial written by Jia Yu, the content inside is indeed similar to what Feng Ziying said, without much difference.

Emperor Changping nodded with satisfaction, "Okay...ok...Jia Aiqing has indeed lived up to the expectations of me and the people of Shenjing.

To achieve such a result in less than a month after going on the expedition is worthy of being a descendant of the Jia family, and indeed has the legacy of the second Duke Ning Rong. "

Feng Ziying wanted to remind the person on the dragon throne that Jia Yu was not the descendant of Jia Yuan and Jia Yan. At best, they only had a common ancestor.

Just looking at the elated Emperor Changping, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

Forget it, there's no need to worry about such a small thing.

The other officials in the Huangji Palace had the same idea as Feng Ziying. It was rare for the emperor to be happy for a while, so naturally no one would be so short-sighted as to spoil the emperor's interest at this time.
