71. The princess returns to Beijing
In front of the government office, a large group of people were waiting there early.
In the palace, Liu Guanying instructed his subordinates to come to greet the princess's officials and soldiers, and on the other hand, he greeted the envoys sent by the capital.
At this lively moment, Qin Longxiu and Sha Ri gathered in front of the government in the morning.
The two of them each carried a medicine basket and a bookcase, changed into a clean and tidy robe, and looked refreshed.
He smiled and said, "Looking at our outfits, we don't look like people who are being escorted, but we look like ordinary people when we buy and sell." β
Qin Longxiu also smiled: "Is there a suspect like us who is automatically sent to the door?" It's just that I can't figure it out, if it's to see a doctor, you alone are enough, but she even counts me. β
He smiled, "Maybe we offended the princess before, and she really wants to take revenge on us." β
Qin Longxiu smacked his lips and said, "If that's the case, we're really in trouble." Anyway, I feel like I'm looking forward to this trip. β
He looked inside and said, "That empty pulse is injured, and I don't know how long I will be out of here, I have to go and prepare some medicinal herbs for them." β
The two of them went in for a while.
When the arrangements were made to come out, the two of them sat down on the wall behind the large group of officers and soldiers, and waited for the princess to set off on her journey.
As soon as he sat down, he was embarrassed for a while: "If this trip takes a long time, I have two other patients who need follow-up, how can this be good!"
Qin Longxiu: "We can't protect ourselves now, I just hope we can come back safely, it's a blessing, postpone it for a few days and then help them diagnose, if they know, they will also understand you." β
Shade nodded: "There's no better way." β
"That's right. Qin Longxiu suddenly perked up and said, "This time I treated the princess, and I don't know how much money she will reward!"
When she heard this, she immediately glared at him: "If she doesn't peel us off, even if God blesses, do you still want to take her money?"
Qin Longxiu smiled: "Our requirements are too low, aren't we?
He smiled, "Let's talk about this when we come back alive." Yang Da also has some reward there, I don't know if he went to replace it. In addition to the previous ones, we didn't come empty-handed this time. β
Qin Longxiu said: "Anyway, if you're idle now, we'll show off the guy first, and earn it a little bit." As he spoke, he opened the bookcase, took out the flag, took a book in his hand, and shouted after reading the two people who passed by: "I sold the book, I created it myself, and it contains my own personal experience and lessons, and all kinds of people are sophisticated." Reading it can make you avoid detours, help you solve countless puzzles in life, and make you laugh and solve a thousand sorrows......"
When he shouted, not only the pedestrian was attracted, but even a few officers and soldiers looked back. Naqin Longxiu simply walked over directly, regardless of whether he was an official or a citizen, and directly promoted it with great interest.
Sha Sun also shook his head: his business is easy to do, it can really be said that it is beckoning, even if it is painful, he can't take care of it.
After a while, Naqin Longxiu walked back with a smile: "I sold two copies at once, and it got off to a good start, it seems that today will be a lucky day." β
Shade Sun smiled: "I'll just change my career to sell books......
Qin Longxiu glared at him for a while and said, "What are you talking about? Do you know how many people in this world are in dire straits, waiting for you to help." The emptiness, and the princess, including our body pain, if it were not for you, who practiced medicine, how would you tell us to live? Do you know that with such a person as you by my side, I feel that my life is fully protected, and I don't have to worry about anything. β
"It turns out that my profession is so sacred!"
Qin Longxiu: "I was forced to make a living, so I endured humiliation and burden, and persevered in writing so many things to sell, and by the way, I also passed on my experience to others, so that people could avoid detours......"
"It also helps people solve all kinds of puzzles in life, and makes people live with a smile, right?"
Qin Longxiu smiled: "It's good if you know!"
Shade Sun also smiled: "By the way, did you add that thrilling experience yesterday to your book?"
Qin Longxiu said: "Books are adventures, but also life, of course there is such a dark inside, but the most important thing is, of course, to promote the better, have you forgotten our purpose?"
"Contribute to society, be enthusiastic about people, and serve people!" both laughed together.
"So you're hiding here, I've been looking for you for a long time!" Mei Xin walked over from the gate and shouted from afar.
The two stood up, and Qin Longxiu said, "Are you ready to go?"
Blind Sun also asked, "Has the princess taken the medicine?"
Mei Xin said: "I just took the medicine, the princess asked me to find you, and I am about to leave, so I will wait for you." β
"Okay, we're ready, you go and tell the princess that it's time to go." β
Meixin nodded: "Okay, you guys wait outside here, I'll go and tell the princess." β
Seeing her enter, the two walked to the yamen of the mansion for a while.
After a moment's effort, I saw that the princess walked out slowly under the escort of the Liu Guanying and others, surrounded by the maidservants on the left and right.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the princess stepped into the carriage with the support of her left and right, and the maidservants on the left and right stood on either side of the carriage.
Liu Guanying waved his hand at the door and said goodbye to the envoy: "I wish the princess, my lord, a safe journey." At the princess's command, a large group of men and horses drove forward in a mighty manner.
On the lively streets, pedestrians were separated by the officers and soldiers who opened the road in front. Their huge formation has long been speculated and discussed by many onlookers.
The two of them followed behind the princess's carriage, and they didn't say a word at this moment, but just followed the carriage and walked forward.
In the face of such momentum, looking at this majestic officer and soldier, perhaps everyone will feel their weakness and insignificance.
That's how the two of them are feeling right now.
In this situation, the princess is the protagonist here.
In the face of such a person, you may have to be cautious at every step, and you will not raise any disrespectful actions against her.
The whole column was eerily quiet, except for the occasional cough or two and the neighing of horses, and the only thing that rang out in my ears was footsteps and the sound of carriages crashing on the ground.
Qin Longxiu looked at the front and back for a while, and whispered: "I thought this trip would be very special, but I didn't expect these officers and soldiers to be so serious." β
Covering the sun: "The army has the strict discipline of the army, and this is not a spring outing, where is it so casual?"
Qin Longxiu: "Although I don't hate loneliness, I always feel a little weird here, and I feel a kind of depression. β
"Why am I not? Don't forget, we're people who can't help ourselves. β
Qin Yongxiu: "This kind of repression is getting stronger and stronger. β
"Anyway, don't think about it so much. β
Ahead is an endless road surrounded by undulating hills.
On the small mound, bare and overgrown with fine grass. As far as the eye can see, the view is endless.
Only at the far end of the sky, there was a majestic mountain with a faint black shadow.
The clear river flows on the edge of this wilderness, a little hazy and invisible, and at first glance it looks like it is on the seaside.
The sparse few trees, standing on the slope of the riverbank, finally gave the wilderness some obvious life.
The sky is clear and charming, and the wilderness is quiet and charming, which is the most unique scenery in the wilderness west of the city.
The princess and her party had gone to the wilderness west of the city.
Looking at the undulating hills in the distance, for some reason, Qin Longxiu suddenly became sad: "No, I can't forgive them, but I can't do anything about them." That dog official does not distinguish between indiscriminate and wrong, right and wrong are reversed, and I and other people have no way to live, and they have lived in this shadow all their lives, and they are grief-stricken when they think about it. I have nothing to hope for, my future is bleak, and I really want to die. β
He also said sadly: "I also suddenly felt hopeless, disappointed, and lost faith in everything. My heart was almost broken, and I lost the courage to live. This world is so gloomy, like this wilderness, I can't stand it, and I want to go with you. β
Qin Longxiu said: "Before, we were bound there, at the mercy of others, slaughtered by others, treated by people, pigs and dogs, almost worse than death. The big thing we pretended to say generously was not to be taken seriously and swallowed bitter water, but in fact it was completely self-deception. β
"That feeling of humiliation, helplessness, even fear and despair, at that time I hated to knock everything over with one punch, to trample on it all. β
Qin Longxiu: "Since life is better than death, it is better to die." β
Covering the sun: "Instead of living a life so hard and depressed, it is better to end it all at once." β
As they were so involved in what they said that the princess heard it completely, she stopped the procession.
She watched them through the screen window in the car, and was stunned for a moment. She then overheard them discussing how to die.
"Are we jumping a mountain, cutting off our heads, or jumping into a river?"
Qin Longxiu: "I heard that the moment of jumping off the mountain was very thrilling, and the blood splash of the beheading was also very terrifying. β
"Then let's go jump into the river!" Shade had already put the medicine basket to the side, and walked down the slope.
Qin Longxiu also unloaded the bookcase with him, and the two walked down the embankment with a sad expression.
Qin Longxiu hesitated while walking: "I heard that it is very uncomfortable to be choked by drinking a stomach of water before drowning......"
Shade was stunned: "Since death is so terrifying, then let's just not die." β
Qin Longxiu said: "Aren't we looking for death?"
Covering the sun suddenly woke up and said, "Seeking death? By the way, why should we die? Our future is bright, just as beautiful as this western wilderness, why should we destroy our future?"
Qin Longxiu thought about it, and suddenly became a little enlightened: "Yes, we only suffered such a little blow, I only suffered a little skin injury, as for that little mental injury, I was just bitten by a few mad dogs, so what's the big deal?"
"Can we afford to deal with mad dogs? We can still find our way, and we haven't reached the end of the mountain at all!
Qin Longxiu said: "Yes, we are still so young, everything is just the beginning. We can still sell our books, we can sell our medicines, and we have nothing to lose. We don't have a dead end, we're desperate!"
"Yes, aren't we living a good life? We should be positive, we should love our lives, we should love our families, although they are gone, but we must at least be kind to ourselves." β
Qin Longxiu said: "Yes, although this world is very intense, but we have to love all this, we must be full of spaciousness in our hearts, I want to love this world!"
"Have we forgotten the purpose of our life?"
Qin Longxiu said: "Of course, we haven't forgotten that we are people who contribute to society, are enthusiastic about the people, and serve the people." β
The two of them laughed a little on the halfway slope, and were about to walk back when they looked up and saw the princess standing by the carriage. She stood there gloomily, her eyes staring at them for a moment.
When the two of them saw it, they hurriedly waved their hands and asked, "How did the princess come down?"
The princess said with a cold face: "Go on! Why don't you act?"
The two glanced at each other, and were silent for a moment.
The princess said: "When you sing and drink, it's seamless, you just want to show pity in front of me, don't you?"
The two lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
The princess said, "Weren't you very eloquent before, why didn't you speak?"
"I didn't know that the princess had arrived, and my words offended the princess, but I was really scared when I think about it." β
Qin Longxiu: "The princess is on top, I don't dare to make a mistake." β
The princess snorted and said, "So that's the case, then I'm not wrong to blame you?"
Seeing her "aggressive" appearance, Qin Longxiu hurriedly took over and said: "Although it is the full-time job of the government to punish rape and eliminate evil, as long as I and other civilians can do it, sometimes they will do it desperately. Especially a beautiful person like a princess, even if we let us go to Daoshan last time, we will not hesitate to fire next time. β
Shade Sun also added next to him: "Although this is a bit of a non-answer, but just like what we did before, helping others for pleasure and courage, will make our hearts surge, even if we end up being a bear, we have no regrets - of course, the premise is that that person is worth saving." β
Qin Longxiu: "This time I entered Beijing with the princess, and I came here for a while. Thinking of all the unsatisfactory things in the past and the hardships and hardships experienced, I feel infinitely melancholy. Talking nonsense, it is unseemly, I hope the princess will forgive me!"
When the princess heard this, she did not say anything, but looked at the sun: "What about you?"
Of course, he understood what she meant, and he should explain the reason for this trouble. He sighed and said, "The two of us have the same interests, sympathize with each other, and fall in love." This time, he was thrown into prison by mistake and suffered physically and mentally. Later, although he made up for it, the shadow in his heart never lingered. This time I was fortunate to be rescued by the princess, and I am grateful. Now look at this wilderness desolate and sorrowful......"
"Wait a minute!" interrupted the princess, "I didn't save you......"
"Of course the princess has!"
The princess said, "I'm just passing you on the doctor, that's all." β
Qin Longxiu said: "If it weren't for the princess, I'm afraid we would still be locked up in that prison now!"
The princess looked at them and was noncommittal, but her expression softened significantly: "Actually, I asked you to enter the capital for two reasons: one is because I am sick, and the other is because both of you have some real knowledge, and the palace is short of people like you, so I want you to find a position in the official ranks......" After she finished speaking, she watched their reactions.
The two of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, but then they both had joy on their faces, especially Naqin Longxiu, who almost didn't hold the hand that covered the sun and jumped up: "So that's the case, this really flatters us!"
However, the sun was not happy at this time.
The princess looked at him and said, "Why?
Shade pondered, looking a little difficult to choose, but he still made a choice: "I'm sorry, I told your queen mother before......"
"Well, you've told me what you look like!" interrupted the princess impatiently, "I'll give you two choices now: follow me, and you can go now, which means you're free!"
When the two heard this, they were overjoyed, and they said excitedly: "This is really good news, this matter is very important, can the princess be discussed by us?"
The princess seemed to have lost hope in them, and only looked at them coldly and said, "I'll give you half a cup of tea." β
After a while, he said to Naqin Longxiu: "Xiucai, since the princess has a good eye for heroes, we happen to have this excellent opportunity, why don't we apply what we have learned to the place where it should be used?"
Qin Longxiu said: "Didn't you say before that you weren't used to the constraints of that official rank, so you resigned?
"I am used to the free life outside, I like to see a doctor for the people, and I like to go to such a beautiful wilderness to pick herbs, so it is inevitable that I will be depressed when I go to that official." But you're different, you can go!"
Qin Longxiu said: "Actually, I can only draw some paintings, write two articles, the people in the palace are all familiar with ancient and modern, rich and rich people, literary and ink people, how can I compare with a show?
"It's rare for the princess to have this sincerity, not to mention that she saved us again, we let her down like this, how can we bear it?"
Qin Longxiu said: "Since you can't bear it, let us think about it carefully?"
Before they could say more, the princess had already interrupted them: "Well, if you don't want to go, I won't force you." She kept looking at them, and they didn't avoid her, apparently trying to tell her every word of the table. Since they rejected her, it was useless for her to say more.
In fact, she didn't expect them to be used by her, and now she happened to get off the donkey.
When the two heard what she said, they couldn't answer for a while, so they could only apologize.
Then the princess spoke again: "Now that you have made your choice, you can go now!"
When they heard her say this, they took one look at her cold face in surprise, and they didn't have the courage to look at her again, because they felt her look of loss. They couldn't bear to see that. Although she is the princess of a country, she is only a girl after all.
Even if they leave, of course, they can't just leave, at least they have to "comfort" her to defuse this somewhat awkward atmosphere.
"It's a pity!" "It's a shame!" said he could only apologize repeatedly, "then we ......"
"Let's go, I won't make it hard for you, just as you didn't make it hard for me. The princess took the sentence and laughed for a moment, "And thank you for your help." Remember, do more good deeds for the people, and use your medicine and literature, so that it will be beneficial to the country!"
The two of them saw that she was relieved in turn, and they were relieved for a while. "We will, if the princess sends it, we will do our best." β
The princess said, "All right, before I change my mind, let's go!"
When the two heard this, they went to get the bookbox medicine basket to carry on their back, took out two packets of medicine from the basket, and handed them to Meixin beside the princess: "Meimei, is the princess's illness better?"
Mei Xin nodded: "Retreated." β
"Remember to boil one pack a day and take it three times." When the medicine is gone, the princess should be cured. β
The two of them carried their belongings, said goodbye to the princess, and covered the sun: "I'm glad to meet the princess, so don't say goodbye now." β
As Qin Longxiu walked, he turned around and smiled: "This world is colorful, but the beauty of the princess is even more eye-catching, I wonder if I can draw another picture of the princess to remember it in the future?"
The princess had already stiffened her face: "The last time I didn't cure your sin, I already gave you a lot of face, and you still want to inch in now, and I don't look at how many heads you have!"
"Goodbye!" "Koto Ryu-su also turned around and waved at her, "I hope there will be a date later!"
But the sun was smiling and muttering with his back to them, "I hope I don't see them againβ"
