Chapter 65

On the morning of this day, the prefect's wife came to Haitian Temple to worship the Buddha, at this time the situation in the DPRK and China was very complicated, her husband stayed in Suzhou for many years, and it was already time to transfer back to the imperial capital. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info but encountered such a thing at such a time, but it can only be said that it is bad luck.

While the lady was worshipping the Buddha, a woman with a charming face walked in from outside the main hall.

Mrs. Feng opened her eyes, saw the woman in front of her, and said with some doubts: "Lady, this is?"

Before the words fell, the woman in front of her made a big salute to Mrs. Feng, and Mrs. Feng suddenly felt a little strange, so she had to say, "Lady, what do you want?"

"Madam, please let me meet the prefect, I really have something very important to say to him. ”

"What is the lady's name?"

"Gu Juan. ”

Gu Zhi was teaching Gu Mingqi to read at home, and when he was uneasy, he heard a knock on the door, and thought it was Gu Juan for a while, so he hurriedly opened the door, but found that it was a complete stranger.

"You are?"

"I am the person next to the prefect, and Gu Niangzi asked me to send you a letter. Gu Zhi took the letter, a little puzzled, and asked, "Where is my daughter now?"

"On the way to the Imperial Palace. ”

Gu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and the man spoke: "Time is pressing, and Gu Niangzi doesn't have time to explain, so I wrote a letter, I hope you can rest assured." ”

"How can I rest assured, Ah Juan is only fifteen years old, going to the imperial capital, where does she have the road guide certificate? Who is going with her, how can you tell me to rest assured!"

Gu Zhi said excitedly.

"Sir, don't worry, the prefect will naturally arrange everything, and I can't explain the specific reasons, Gu Niangzi is not an ordinary woman, she naturally has her own plans, I still have things, so I'll leave first." ”

After the man left, Gu Zhi returned to the house in despair. When I opened the letter, there was only one line written on it.

"A good student takes care of my brother's study. ”

This girl is still as unreassuring as ever. At this time, Gu Mingqi walked to Gu Zhi's side and said to Gu Zhi, "Uncle, where did my sister go?"

"Teijing. ”

"What is she doing in the imperial capital?"

"Doing things. ”

In the middle of the night, Gu Juan finally got on the boat, and the prefect sent a few people to protect Gu Juan.

Gu Juan's trip happened to go to Hangzhou to find Wang Qigong, and get something from him, a very important thing.

When Gu Juan and Wang Qigong were waiting outside the Gongyuan before, they had talked about a lot of things, and at that time, Wang Qigong once asked Gu Juan what people's livelihood was the most profitable. Gu Juan gave an example of the medical hall at that time, and said a lot of examples from later generations, such as aphrodisiac medicine.

At that time, Wang Qigong coughed lightly, and then said, among the ancestral secret recipes of their Wang family, there is a decoction, called Guben Jingyuan Soup, which is very effective, but the medicine is too violent, harmful to people's bodies, and is not commonly used.

At that time, Gu Juan didn't think much about it, but at this moment, that thing was about to come in handy.

This year, the Emperor Gaoyuan Hall of the Emperor was completed, and Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed and praised the Taoist Tao Zhongwen, that is, from the twenty-first year of Jiajing, this became the most transcendent Taoist priest in the Ming Dynasty.

The things that Taoist priests do are nothing more than making people immortal, or practicing the art of collecting and replenishing, and the Wang family's medicinal wine may be exactly what this master wants.

Gu Juan closed his eyes, and his brain ached.

In this world, he is probably the only one who can make her work so hard except for her family.

The boat traveled for a few days, and finally arrived in Hangzhou, Gu Juan went to Wang Kai's uncle's place to find Wang Qigong non-stop, but was told that the person had already returned to Taicang, but Gu Juan had written a letter to inform him of the matter before, Gu Juan got the prescription, and hurriedly got on the boat and went to the imperial capital.

At the end of November, heavy snow had fallen in the north, and some sections of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal were frozen, so Gu Juan had to switch to land.

On the Hebei Post Road, Rao is Gu Juan wanted to ride a horse, but she couldn't, first, she couldn't ride a horse, and second, the wind and snow were too big and it was inconvenient to ride a horse. Gu Juan had to sit in the carriage and walk slowly.

Gu Juan opened the curtain and saw the continuous heavy snow outside, she happened to be on the same road as the southbound Cao Yun servants, but she still had to escort the Cao grain on such a cold and freezing day.

This time, Gu Juan went to the imperial capital not only for the Gu family, but also for the reform of Caoyun, she had always thought that this matter had to wait until Gu Weijun was admitted to the Jinshi and really entered the central center of the Ming Dynasty before it could be implemented.

But this time the struggle between Yan Song and Xia Yan gave Gu Juan hope.

As long as the goal is achieved, no matter what means are used, it does not matter, as long as the goal is achieved, in another year, those who fall in the snow and can never get up again will never be again.

Gu Juan closed his eyes and thought carefully, but at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled up the curtain, but saw a dusty and dilapidated carriage parked in the middle of the road. The wheels seem to be broken, in such a cold and snowy place, if the wheels are broken, it is a little troublesome, but Gu Juan is not in the mood to help at this time.

It's just that at this time, Gu Juan couldn't afford to refuse, because there was a little boy in front of them in front of their carriage.

The little boy is scary, but his eyes are a little bright.

"Please, a few military masters, save our master. ”

When Gu Juan heard this, he immediately felt a little strange, but how could the carriage break down to save people.

One of the sergeants on horseback said, "What's your master's name?"

"The old surname is Lin Xiao Cong, his body is injured, how can he stay in this ice and snow. ”

The sergeant was stunned, hurriedly dismounted, and walked to the broken carriage, Gu Juan couldn't hear what he said, after the sergeant came down, he said to Gu Juan with some embarrassment: "Lady, the one inside was seriously injured when I was plundering Shanxi this autumn, and was removed from the court because of Zhang Shizhong's affairs, and now he is seriously injured, but he has to return to Beijing to report on his work." ”

Gu Juan was stunned, when she had never even heard of the Shanxi Alta plunder in Taicang, she almost thought it was a delusion when she heard it.

However, the sergeant's words shocked Gu Juan's heart.

"In the autumn and July, I led the army to the south of Taiyuan, camped in Fenshui and the east and west, went out to plunder the counties of Lu'an, and then returned to Taiyuan to the north, crisscrossing Shanxi like no one's land, successively plundered ten, 38 prefectures and counties, and killed 200,000 people of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"200,000 people?"

Gu Juan muttered.
