Cui Zhifu is the prefect of Fuzhou, and now the gate of Fuzhou has been broken by the Japanese invaders, which is a major event related to the life of the Cui family. Mrs. Cui stood up with a sigh: "What's the matter?" What about you, your father? ”

Cui Jing came back all the way, although he didn't dare to gallop on the street, he could go as fast as he could, and he gasped a little at the moment: "I heard that there was an urgent military report from Fuzhou outside the city, so I inquired a few words, I only know this, and I don't know the details." ”

When he said this, he noticed that his mother and sister were wrapped around their heads and faces, and he couldn't help but be startled: "What's wrong with my mother and sister?" ”

Mrs. Cui remembered today's overturning incident and muttered: "It turned out that it was the military newspaper from Fuzhou......" The messenger who shocked their horses sent this news, right?

At this time, where can I take care of any flesh wounds? Mrs. Cui grabbed her son: "Go and inquire, what happened to your father?" Fuzhou was occupied by the Japanese invaders? "If the city is really occupied, it is a big sin for Governor Cui!

Cui Jing ended up in the spring of this year, but he didn't win. If he had been awarded an official position as a jinshi, it would have been good to inquire at this time, but now he can't. Although he has also met a few friends in the capital in the past two years, no one can help him with this military aircraft incident.

At this time, Mrs. Cui asked him to inquire, and he himself was in a hurry. But the few words just said were only known after a long time of inquiry, and there was no way to inquire about the more detailed situation. Cui Jing stood there and thought for a moment, and then came up with someone: "It's better for me to go to the Anjun Palace." ”

Although King Anjun does not have a real position, but in the end, it is the blood of the royal family, and there are some places where he can't enter, and King Anjun may be able to enter. Besides, Princess Anjun is now in the limelight, if she says that she wants to inquire about something, someone must flatter herself.

Mrs. Cui was stunned: "Anjun Palace? "The mother and daughter just offended Princess Anjun on the street.

Cui Jingke didn't know that there was such a thing, and nodded: "Although the eldest sister is not blessed, there was a marriage contract after all." For the sake of the first emperor, it was just that the king of Tuo'an County inquired about the news, and he should still do it. "I think that when King Anjun first returned to the capital, he was quite polite to the Cui family, but Cui Xiuwan was all confused by herself, and now she doesn't know where to run with people. But fortunately, this matter was not revealed, everyone thought that Cui Xiuwan was dead, and King Anjun also guarded his deceased wife who did not pass through the door for a year. With this, I begged him to inquire about the news, and even if he couldn't find out, there was nothing to lose.

Cui Youwan opened her mouth and didn't speak. Mrs. Cui's mouth also opened and closed like a fish out of the water, and she said after a while: "This, I'm afraid this won't be ......."

"Why not?" Cui Jing thought that she was because of Cui Xiuwan's business, so he hurriedly said, "King Anjun didn't know about it, there was a former emperor who asked him to marry, and our family was always in-law with him." Although Cui Xiuwan didn't even pass the door, she didn't even occupy the original seat, which is a little embarrassing to say, but it is still related.

"No......" Mrs. Cui said with difficulty about today's events, although she focused on saying that Taohua didn't care about Cui Youwan's face, but no matter how she said it, they had a very unpleasant quarrel with Taohua, which is a fact.

Cui Jing stood stunned for a while before he said, "Mother, this-" This is really too coincidental, right? He just thought about asking King Anjun, his mother and sister offended the princess of other people, and how to say this kind of thing? Princess Anjun was also kind enough to save people, so how can you say that people are also reasonable.

Mrs. Cui is also full of regret now. When Cui Youwan was angry at that time, she shouldn't have followed along, if she had played a round at that time, wouldn't it be good now? Of course, she feels sorry for her daughter, but the Cui Governor's Mansion is the pillar of the Cui family, if something happens to the Cui Governor's Mansion, the entire Cui family will be finished, not to mention her daughter.

"Otherwise, if you come to the door with some courtesy, you will say that your sister and I are recuperating at home...... "It is only natural for my son and brother to apologize on my behalf."

Cui Jing thought about it, and this is the solution: "I'll go now!" ”

Shen Shu's news is indeed much faster than Cui Jing's, he has already returned from the palace at this time, and is talking to Taohua about Fuzhou in the county king's mansion: "Although the city gate was breached, the Japanese people did not enter the city, and General Lu arrived with people later, and these people boarded the ship and retreated." ”

"It's a blessing." Momoka breathed a sigh of relief. If you enter Fuzhou City, then burning, killing and looting are indispensable, "But how many people have come, and they can even break through the city gate?" ”

"Didn't they suffer some losses in Fuzhou that year? This is to entangle thousands of people, and it is also to take advantage of Lin Mo's birthday......"

Lin Mo, the real name of Mazu believed in Fuzhou, is said to have been born on March 23 in the first year of Song Jianlong, and turned into a god after his death, specializing in saving people from danger at sea.

In the coastal areas of Fuzhou, everyone is begging for a living on the sea, so they naturally believe in such a god and worship it every year. The Japanese took advantage of this loophole and attacked and broke through the gate of Fuzhou.

"There were a lot of casualties this time......," Shen Shu frowned, "Even General Lu is afraid to bear the responsibility...... "At least it is a disadvantageous defense, how can you let the Japanese go ashore in broad daylight?" However, because no one thought that they dared to land in broad daylight, they were successfully attacked.

"Isn't there a defender along the coast? That's thousands, and there are a lot of boats alone, right? "At this time, there is no passenger ship that can carry thousands of people, and one boat can pull everyone over, at least dozens of boats, even at sea, it is quite a big goal, right?

Shen Shu shook his head: "Who is derelict in his duties, I have to check again." Now General Lu has gone out to sea with his people to pursue, and I heard that the prefect of Fuzhou was seriously injured while defending the city. ”

"The prefect of Fuzhou?" Taohua thought for a while before remembering, "It's not Cui-" Isn't it Shen Shu's former father-in-law? Oh, the former unmarried father-in-law.

Shen Shu nodded: "I heard that I was hit by an arrow from the Japanese Kou, and it doesn't seem to be at the point, but now the high fever does not go away, and the group of doctors is restrained...... In the military newspaper sent, the imperial court was also asked to send a doctor to take a look. ”

"It's so far from the capital to Fuzhou, can you send a doctor in time?"

"It seems that someone has been sent from Fuzhou to the capital, and now he is hanging his life by relying on ginseng films." Shen Shu sighed slightly, "It is said that he tried his best to defend the city, took the lead, and even cut down a widow." "If you don't work hard, if the city of Fuzhou is broken, he, the prefect, will bear the greatest responsibility, and the whole family will be guilty! But even so, being able to take the lead is still respectable after all.

"In your opinion, what could be going on?" The military newspaper said that the arrow was in the shoulder, which is not fatal, and it should not be the current situation.

"There are too many possibilities...... "Taohua sighed, "I'm most afraid that the wound hasn't been cleaned up." ”

"That's what 'sepsis' you are talking about?" Shen Shu thought of the sepsis patient he had seen in the northwest, and couldn't help but change his face, "Then-isn't this unsavable?" ”

"I hope I can get through it...... "Taohua sighed again, "Speaking of which, I just met Mrs. Cui's mother and daughter on the street today." ”

As soon as Shen Shu returned to the palace, he was talking about the attack on Fuzhou, and he didn't know what Taohua had encountered on the street, and when he heard it, he couldn't help frowning: "Speaking of which, it is also innocent, but the second girl of the Cui family, it was okay to look at it in the past, how can it be so unseemly...... But think about Cui Xiuwan's ability to elope, the Cui family's tutor is limited, Cui Youwan used to look good, and it was probably just not revealed."

"The little girl hurt her face, and she was in a hurry. It's just that Zhuqing's girl doesn't know if there's anything wrong. Taohua is still a little worried, if she really hurts her spleen, I'm afraid the gods can't do anything.

While the husband and wife were talking, someone outside came to report that the eldest son of Cui had come to the door with an apology.

"Apologies?" Shen Shu understood after a little thought, "I'm afraid I know about Fuzhou, so I'm going to inquire." "Such a big event can spread all over the city in an instant, and it can't be suppressed.

"Go and see." Taohua didn't have a good impression of the Cui family, but after all, the Cui Governor's Mansion was injured by fighting hard, and in comparison, the little quarrel between her and Mrs. Cui's mother and daughter was really nothing.

Shen Shu nodded and got up and went to the front yard. Cui Jing was already waiting like a fire in his heart, and he had to hold on to himself, and apologized for Cui Youwan and Mrs. Cui when they met: "The housesister was young and didn't have anything to do, but she was suddenly injured and lost her normality, collided with the princess of the county, and asked the princess to forgive her sins." ”

Shen Shu understood his intentions in his heart, and he didn't plan to worry about anything with him, and seeing that this gift was not too much, he accepted it casually. Cui Jing hung in his heart, for fear that Taohua would still hold a grudge, and only when he saw Shen Shu's gentle attitude did he dare to mention the matter of Fuzhou: "The sister was frightened by the messenger galloping, and I don't know what caused the gallop on the street......

Shen Shu sighed slightly, and briefly told him a few words about the news he knew about Governor Cui's mansion, so shocked that Cui Jinghuo stood up, didn't even bother to say polite words, said goodbye with a trembling voice, and went straight home.

Mrs. Cui was spinning like an ant on a hot pot, and when she saw her son rushing in with a bad face, her heart suddenly sank: "What happened?" ”

"My father is seriously injured, and the group of doctors is ......," Cui Jingcai said, and someone from outside came to report: "Someone is from Fuzhou!" ”

It was the henchman next to Governor Cui's mansion who came, and a layer of ash fell on his head and face, because he had been riding a horse for a long time, his legs were stiff, and when he saw Mrs. Cui, he knelt down: "Madam, master, the master is not in a good situation!" ”

The Cui family's little servant actually set off earlier than the military newspaper, but the messenger had a post station to change horses, but he didn't, so he came late. His news is much more complete: the Japanese invaders sneaked ashore during the Mazu Festival, and I don't know if God was blind, or if their luck was really good, and they were successfully attacked by the fog at sea that day.

"The lord led people to guard the city gate and was shot with an arrow." The little girl wiped her tears, "I pulled out the arrowhead and applied medicine, but somehow it burned that night, and it was useless to use any medicine." "It's not that there are no famous doctors in Fuzhou, and I have invited a lot, but it doesn't work.

"The military newspaper was actually reported after the Japanese were taken away." This is also a common thing, wait until things are almost flat and then report, at least there is a saying that the merit will be reversed, so as not to report it at the time, the emperor is annoyed and disposes of the official, and then you kill more widows, and the emperor may not be able to think of reusing you.

Speaking of which, the destruction of the city gate this time was not a dereliction of duty on the part of the Governor of Cui, not to mention that he led people to guard the city gate, as long as the Japanese were repulsed, he was not a big mistake. Who knew that such an arrow on the shoulder would make him sick to this situation?

"When the little one came out, the family had already sent the master to the capital, and the Lang Zhong in Fuzhou was useless, and General Lu heard that the princess of Anjun was in the capital, so he asked the master to come to the capital."

Princess Anjun again? Mrs. Cui really regretted it now, she knew it was so, why bother to be naughty with Princess Anjun on the street today for a slave?

"How's that girl, Zhuqing?" Mrs. Cui had a headache, but for the sake of Governor Cui's illness, she had to pull down her face and beg the princess of the county. Didn't the princess of the county care about that girl very much before, so it was better to take her to the princess of the county to see.

The thrush was not good at wandering in front of the master, and it was Bailing who replied: "I'm boiling medicine for the girl." ”

"Didn't you let her rest?"

Bai Ling snorted for a moment, but did not dare to speak. She didn't have a thrush to touch Mrs. Cui's thoughts, and she was always more restrained in front of Mrs. Cui. At that time, Cui Youwan did ask Zhu Qing to rest, but her tone was very impatient, how could Zhu Qing lie down? After only resting for a while, I felt a little better, so I got up and went to boil medicine for Cui Youwan.

"Tell her to stop doing it, pack up, and follow me to the Anjun Palace." Mrs. Cui raised her hand and brushed her forehead irritably, but she touched the injury, and the corners of her mouth twitched in pain, "Go and prepare a generous gift again." "This is asking the princess of the county to save her life, but you can't be stingy.

Bailing hurriedly went to Cui Youwan's yard, and when he entered the door, he heard Cui Youwan losing his temper: "Tell you to rest, what are you doing here?" Even the medicine has fallen, who told you to do it, this is to show who again! ”

Bai Ling entered the door and looked, a bowl was broken on the ground, and there was a strong bitter smell in the room, and Zhu Qing was kneeling on the ground to clean up.

Cui Youwan's face has been aching faintly, and when she heard that her father had an accident, she was even more anxious and annoyed. It was easy to boil the medicine and send it over, but Zhu Qing fell as soon as he entered the door, and this anger could no longer be suppressed, and he immediately split his head and covered his face and became angry: "You are a golden nobleman, and the princess of the county is anxious to treat you, how dare I let you serve?" I said that I told you to rest, but you came again, but Cheng Cheng told outsiders that I treated you badly? ”

Zhuqing didn't dare to say a word. Cui Youwan's temper she knows a little bit, she didn't want to see the princess of the county before, but at that time, the princess of the county had not yet been married, but she was just a doctor girl, Cui Youwan felt that her status was much higher, but she was more tolerant.

Sometimes people's psychology is so subtle, and they often have a kind of condescending self-confidence in a person whose identity is not as good as their own, and they will be tolerant. However, when this person climbs on his head one day, this tolerance will completely change to jealousy, even more so than to those who are already higher.

Cui Youwan is like this now. However, she couldn't do anything about the princess of the county, so she couldn't let out this breath, so she was all angry with Zhuqing. It was precisely because of this that Zhu Qing didn't dare to really rest, he thought of coming over and serving carefully, maybe Cui Youwan would just do it, but who knew that her dizziness was getting worse and worse, and she entered the house with the medicine, and she was stumbled by the threshold.

Shi Qing persuaded in a low voice on the side: "Girl, don't be angry, it's not good for the injury......"

Who knows it's okay not to say it, as soon as she said this, Cui Youwan thought of leaving a scar on her face, and suddenly this anger became even stronger, and it happened that Zhuqing kneeled to her feet to wipe the ground, so she raised her leg and kicked her without thinking: "!" If I have a scar, I won't pick your skin! ”

Cui Youwan was the first time she had beaten and scolded the slave maid, and she felt that she hadn't used any strength to eat milk with this kick, but when she saw that Zhuqing had been kicked by this, she didn't even snort, and her body fell down as soon as she was soft, and she was shocked: "What are you doing, pretending to be dead and scary?" ”

Bai Ling didn't have time to stop him, but he hurriedly stepped forward to inspect at this time, only to see Zhu Qing's face as white as paper, falling to the ground with his eyes closed, he was really unconscious, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Come on, come on, carry her out!" "Madame is going to take her to the county king's mansion.

"What county king's mansion to go to!" Cui Youwan was also a little frightened in her heart, but her mouth was still hard, "It's just a cheap maid, what if you kill it?" ”

That's right. Zhuqing is a servant of the Cui family, and she is born as a slave, and life and death are in the hands of the master's family. According to the law of this dynasty, slaves and maids are equal to assets, and killing the owner of a slave and maid for no reason is only a hundred rods, and it can be ransomed, if it is a manslaughter, it is even more nothing. However, Cui Youwan was usually gentle and quiet, and at this moment, she suddenly threw out such a sentence viciously, but it really had some impact, which made Bailing and Shi Qing feel a little sad.

Bailing has been gone for a long time, and Mrs. Cui can't wait, so she came over herself. Before entering the house, I heard Bai Ling shouting someone, and hurriedly came in to take a look, and was also a little anxious: "Stop it!" Someone comes, pick her up, and go to the county king's mansion immediately! ”

"Mother-" Cui Youwan just said one word, and was blocked back by Mrs. Cui: "Your father is in danger at this moment, and he is still counting on the princess of the county to save his life!" ”

Cui Youwan choked on her chest in one breath and swallowed desperately. Her father's safety is related to the family, no matter how she dares to be willful at this time, she watched Zhuqing being lifted, motionless like a broken bag, and she was also scared: "Mother, I didn't kick her hard......"

"Shh Mrs. Cui abruptly gestured to interrupt her words, and looked around sternly, "Listen, Zhuqing accidentally fell from the car on the way back, and that's why it's like this." If anyone goes out and talks nonsense, heed your tongues. ”

Although the thrush was wrapped around his head, he was also busy at this time, and when he heard Mrs. Cui's words, his heart tightened slightly. Blaming Zhu Qing's injury for falling out of the car for the second time is equivalent to saying that Zhu Qing's injury on the street at that time was not hindered, so there is no sin of delaying her injury and dying, and then hiding the kick kicked by Cui Youwan will also cover up Cui Youwan's mistake. In this way, Zhu Qing's own life is completely bad, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. Cui's mother and daughter.

Although the slave is loyal to his master, there is also a thing that hurts him. Although the thrush is a confidant by Mrs. Cui's side, it is inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable when she encounters this kind of thing, so she lowered her head and went out, and whispered to the person who carried Zhuqing: "Be careful, hurry up and prepare the carriage and horses, and give her more beds and quilts." ”

One of the Cui family's carriages broke down today, and the rest was smaller, but at this time, she couldn't care about anything, so Mrs. Cui and Zhuqing squeezed into a car and went straight to the Anjun Palace.

Shen Shu sent Cui Jing away, and as soon as he returned to the house and said a few words to Taohua, he reported that the Cui family had come again, and he also moved a patient from the carriage outside the mansion, saying that he was begging the princess of the county to save his life.

"Outside the gate?" Shen Shu frowned. The carriage of the Cui family is not qualified to drive directly into the county king's mansion, and it is normal to get off outside the mansion gate, but a patient who moved down directly and shouted for Taohua to save his life, if Taohua saved people, it would be good, but what if it couldn't be saved?

Taohua didn't consider this question for the time being: "Who is carrying it?" "It can't be Zhuqing, right?

"Look at the clothes are a maid."

Taohua's heart suddenly sank: "Hurry up and bring it in!" "God forbid don't rupture your spleen, otherwise she won't be able to save it.

Shen Shu's lips moved slightly, but seeing the eagerness and heaviness between Taohua's eyebrows, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. The heart of the doctor's parents, Taohua is willing to save people regardless of fame and fortune, this is what she respects, even if people can't be saved, it's not her fault.

People who do the right thing are not responsible for the mistakes of others. Shen Shu subconsciously pinched his fingers, after all, he was still a county king, and he could still protect his princess, so let Taohua do what she wanted.

Sometimes God always refuses to let people get their way, and the more they are afraid of something, the more they come. Taohua looked at Zhuqing who was carried in, and her heart sank suddenly: "When is this happening?" Did you feel any discomfort before? ”

Mrs. Cui hurriedly said: "Originally, it was nothing, but when I was about to get home, this girl accidentally fell from the car again." Youwan told her to rest, but she just couldn't stay idle, and somehow she suddenly fainted......"

As she spoke, she was also a little apprehensive in her heart - I heard that some Lang Zhong, who is extremely skilled in medicine, can diagnose the onset time of the patient, and she said this, and I don't know if Taohua can see the clue.

It's just that Mrs. Cui didn't know that what she said was actually most of the facts: Zhu Qing was indeed injured when the carriage overturned, but what really caused the rupture of her spleen was the moment when she was kicked off the car by Cui Youwan and hit the crossbar again. As for the kick that Cui Youwan kicked in the end, it was not kicked under the ribs at all, but Zhu Qing had lost too much blood and happened to faint.

Taohua untied Zhuqing's clothes, reached out and gently pressed it on her abdomen: "Go and boil the decoction to stop bleeding, bring a needle!" She didn't know what was going on with her spleen, so she could only try to stop the bleeding......

"Yes, yes, please ask the princess to save this girl." As soon as Mrs. Cui turned around, she motioned to the person behind her to bring up the gift, "A little courtesy is not a respect." ”

"Madame, take it back, you don't need this." Taohua didn't even look at the gifts—they were all contained in small boxes, and the boxes were very exquisite, and eight to nine out of ten of the heads were precious jewelry, which could be used to save a maid?

If it was in the past, Mrs. Cui would have countless words to explain euphemistically, but at this time, Governor Cui was still struggling for her life halfway, and Taohua refused to accept the gift, Mrs. Cui was really not in the mood to go around in circles again, and she was about to kneel down as soon as she turned her heart: "I also ask the princess of the county to save my master!" ”
