Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 835 Torrential Rain

  Liu Jian was carried by Zhu Houzhao, and there was no place where he was not wet.

At this time, the weather hadn't started to heat up yet, even in summer, Liu Jian couldn't bear it. Besides, Zhu Houzhao walked like flying, and staggered several times. Liu Jian was bouncing on Zhu Houzhao's back. I was scared to death.

  The dignified chief assistant has always been pampered and pampered, especially when he is older, he has more dignity and dignity, but now... Liu Jian yelled on Zhu Houzhao's back: "Put me down, let me down, I can walk by myself."

  But Zhu Houzhao couldn't hear it. The rain was too heavy, and there were lightning and thunder.

  He lowered his head, only focused on running wildly, the sight in front of him was no longer clear.

   After rushing for a long time, there was a city wall ahead...

  Zhu Houzhao muttered in a low voice, ah, I went the wrong way, so I turned around and looked around in a daze. The rain was too heavy, like a fly without a head.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Master Liu, don't worry..."

  Liu Jian is already quiet.

  Everyone is like this. Gradually, they accept the reality, worry, worry, and stop worrying.

  His head was stuck to Zhu Houzhao's back.

  Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was panting like a cow, looking for a way around.

   In my heart... I sighed.

   This prince grew up watching him grow up.

  Sometimes, it is really hard to tell.

   Is he a devil in disguise, or a guy with a conscience.

   After being bumped like this, Liu Jian's bones almost fell apart.

   There was only a sigh in my heart.

  But deep down in his heart, there is no trace of warmth. In any case, this also represents the heart of His Royal Highness.

  Although this intention, I am a bit unhappy to accept it.

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi stood behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, with his hands behind his back, frowning.

  He still stayed in Fengtian Temple.

  Even though there was a gust of wind and heavy rain outside, but... countless flying sand hit the floor-to-ceiling glass, but here, it was still warm. This huge palace isolated the outside world.

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his head, and the water curtain prevented him from seeing the bell tower.

  But at the bell tower, the bell still rang.

  The bell rang six times, it was noon.

  Xiao Jing was outside, sending the last minister away.

  Then turned back and saluted Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi folded his hands behind his back, still looking into the distance, but said indifferently: "Prince and Jifan, it's okay."

  Xiao Jing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Captain Fang have already left. They are young, so they can come if they wish."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Why did it suddenly rain so heavily? The rain is really appalling. I wanted to keep them and live in the palace for a few days, but I thought that all the ministers had left. My son It's not right to stay here with my son-in-law. I can't provide shelter to the family of the ministers, so the prince and my son-in-law must set an example, and if they want to be exposed, they will also be exposed."

  Xiao Jingdao: "Your Majesty is wise. Slaves..."

   "What, just say what you have to say." Emperor Hongzhi looked back and glanced at Xiao Jing.

  Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this servant just saw His Highness the Crown Prince carrying Liu Gong on his back."

   "Really?" A trace of surprise flashed in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes: "This kid is more sensible, at least he knows how to be sympathetic to his elders. He is the prince, as it should be."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

  Xiao Jing saw that His Majesty was happy, and wanted to continue to reveal the truth about the other half, but at this moment, he also laughed, as long as His Majesty is happy, why do you have to know the whole truth.

  …

  Liu Jian is sick.

  So that after Xishan Medical College heard the news, they had to brave the heavy rain and rush to the Liu Mansion.

Su Yue came in person, with three or four doctors. Seeing Mr. Liu lying on the couch in a state of anger, touching his forehead, it was burning terribly. Su Yue took off Liu Jian's shirt, and put her ear on him. and began to observe the heartbeat.

  This is Professor Fang Jifan's. Listening to the heartbeat directly is more accurate than feeling the pulse. Unfortunately, there is no stethoscope in this era, so Su Yue's method is more direct.

  After being busy for a while, Su Yue made an accurate judgment: "Mr. Liu must have caught the wind and cold, which caused the high fever."

  Liu Jian lay on the couch, mumbled, unable to speak.

Liu Jian's son Liu Jie was on the side. Liu Jie was worried, but he was a little dissatisfied with Su Yue, his junior brother: "Of course it was because of the wind and cold, and wandered around the palace for more than an hour without shelter. When I was in the sedan chair, my father's forehead began to burn, and he became dizzy."

  Su Yue was surprised, and she let out a cry, but didn't continue to repeat: "Come here, prepare to reduce the fever, and prepare medicine!"

  Liu Jie was so anxious that he walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Su Yue began to cool Liu Jian, and frowned: "Why is Mr. Liu so reckless? It's raining so much outside, and he's still drenched in the rain outside. Mr. Liu is getting old, so you have to be careful, don't make any mistakes. He is weak, it's not a joke. When you go out, you need not only carriages, horses and sedan chairs, but also shelter from the wind and rain, and the most important thing is not to get in the rain."

   Liu Jie wanted to say something, but was about to speak, but stopped again, only oh.

"This rain is really heavy. I heard that many houses in the capital collapsed and suffered heavy losses. When we came, the outer city was already in a mess, and many roofs were overturned... The water was too deep, and the carriages could not move." I can't pass it, it's almost up to my waist..."

While Su Yue quickly prepared the medicine, she complained: "This time, the common people will suffer, senior brother, Uncle Liu Wenshan has told us to prepare, and when the rain subsides, we will clean it up in Beijing quickly. After that, there are too many puddles, which can easily lead to disease... I heard that many people died in the outer city, and even in the inner city, many mansions were destroyed by the violent wind and rain."

   Liu Jie frowned. He was worried about his father and the people in Beijing.

  In fact, the Liu Mansion was not much better. A house in the back garden even had tiles blown away, a big tree was uprooted, and a wing room was directly smashed down.

  The accumulation of water was very serious. After soaking in the rain, several houses were either leaking, or the wooden pillars showed signs of decay. As for the corridors and railings in the mansion, they were all crooked.

  This is still the Liu Mansion. After all, the Liu Mansion is the home of the chief minister of the cabinet. What about the others, it is unimaginable.

   "But I don't know how the master is." Liu Jie frowned: "He has returned to Xishan."

   "I'm back." Su Yue said: "When I go back, I will scold people, saying that His Royal Highness, he...he..."

  Su Yue shook her head, did not continue talking, and continued to lower her head and take medicine.

  ...

Fang Jifan was in Fang Zhai, sitting under the eaves, looking at the torrential rain, it was very frightening, behind him was a group of noisy children, there was no other way, the courtyard could not move, so he could only be locked indoors, but he was afraid that the children would mess up Run, so gather them together and string them together. In such a heavy rain, if any child runs out of the house, it is not a joke.

  Fang Jifan is now Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao, who are here to be the door gods.

  Holding a whip in his hand, any blind thing dares to step over the threshold will be whipped and beaten to death.

  The children poked their heads out from behind the door, Fang Zhengqing said, "Father, I'm hungry."

  The other children all said, "Father, I'm hungry too."

   "Dad, I peed."

   "Dad..."

  Children have a herd mentality.

  Fang Jifan left them aloofly, ignoring them.

   Then the children yelled again.

  The nuns comforted their children.

  Fang Jifan suddenly yelled: "It's raining so hard, it's raining like this, I'm here to tell you a story, everyone go back, sit down, and whoever doesn't sit down will stop telling the story."

   All of a sudden, all the heads that popped out from behind the door disappeared completely.

  When Fang Jifan entered the door with a whip in his hand, every child sat obediently on a small stool.

   Sitting is very standard, the kind of textbook.

  Fang Jifan paced among the children and said: "We are going to tell the story of Xu Jing. The story is called "Xu Jing Travels Around the World". Now...applause."

  The children applauded one after another, their eyes wide open in confusion, who is Xu Jing and what is the world?

  Fang Jifan is too lazy to explain so much. Sometimes, the story has a sense of mystery only by keeping a little curiosity.

"Once upon a time, there was a guy named Xu Jing. He was not doing his job properly. He was not a thing. Such a person was worthless. In this life, he would spend his whole life in a daze. But when this poor man lived While watching his bleak life, a person appeared. This person is an incomparable talent. At a young age, he is already extraordinary. Not only is he handsome and handsome, but most importantly, he is noble and decent. , in this world, there are many shameless and despicable people, but this person is in the mud, but he emerges from the mud without being stained..."

  The children were all amazed, Zhu Zaimo said: "This man is so powerful, who is he..."

   "Who is it, who is it..." Xu Pengju also yelled loudly.

  Fang Jifan raised his chin slightly: "This person is far away in the sky, but he is close in front of us. Since he is a humble person, it is inconvenient for him to say his name now."

  The children suddenly became interested, and someone asked, "Could it be Mother Liu?"

   "No, it's Nanny Lu."

   "It's Aunt Zhou."

  Nima... a group of retarded people.

  Fang Jifan felt that his hints were clear enough, but these guys were still mentally retarded, which made him very worried. The flowers of the Ming Dynasty have a worrying IQ.

  Fang Jifan coughed: "You will understand in the future, the protagonist of our story now is Xu Jing, please don't interrupt, don't make me angry, or I will beat someone."

  So, the children were silent.

  Fang Jifan began to tell.

  How Xu Jing was infected by this expert, how he became a teacher, how he gradually began to become a decent person under the earnest teachings, and the real story began when he set sail and traveled around the world.

  The children listened very attentively. Everyone frowned and lowered their heads.

  ...

  Chapter 4 delivered, sleep.
