Chapter Fifty-Seven: How to Break Your Intestines and Hate Your Destitute Path

Baoyu never thought that he would meet Miaoyu on Wu Sangui's boat, this ice and snow woman he had always admired from the bottom of his heart, but at this time she became Wu Sangui's concubine. He was so uncomfortable that he withdrew before the banquet was over. A conversation with Jia Lian temporarily sobered up a lot from the pain of Miaoyu being defiled by Wu Sangui, he loved these bright and beautiful girls too much, but he couldn't imagine that the fate of these girls was so unbearable. Miaoyu was very calm during the banquet, and told Wu Sangui that she and Baoyu were also friends, and there were some things she wanted to transfer to Baoyu and Miss Lin. Baoyu received a makeup box from Miaoyu, and opened it in his cabin at night, but it was a mantra of the heavenly eyes. Baoyu read according to the book and divined a few hexagrams. These hexagrams are very similar, which he can't help but believe.

The hexagram says: The ancestral industry is difficult to rely on, it is displaced, and there are many things in the early years, and it is impossible to gather wealth. Do not bully others, have intentions, are uncertain, and are prone to anger.

The initial limit is rushing, leaving other realms can become a family, changing the court, the middle limit is not satisfactory, the end limit is around the wife palace, Fang is the punishment, etc., Baoyu looks strange, and divides his heart to a hexagram, but it is the mirror flower flowing water empty to the mountain master, determined to seek the lonely fairy Shu. This trip is a heart-to-heart affair. I can't help but feel sad in my heart. I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and I suffered for two days, and I didn't know who to talk to with my full stomach. When I arrived at Liu Liangzuo's station, I lived in the same tent with Jia Lian, I couldn't hold back the worries in my heart, and when I saw Jia Lian come back from the day's deliberations, I asked questions; I don't know if Sister Lin can avoid not participating in the draft. Jia Lian smiled and said: "You see that my uncle has come out, of course there will be a draft for a while, and it will not be too late to go back and figure it out after we have handled these public cases." Baoyu didn't know that the draft day had passed, let alone what was happening in the palace.

I'm worried that Sister Lin is anxious about this.

Jia Lian smiled, there are a few girls who are unwilling to be the queen and princess.

Baoyu Dao: Sister Lin is not such a person.

Jia Lian smiled: "I know that you are very affectionate to her, but you are still young, and it will take two or three years to decide." Baoyu blushed when she heard these two words, and said, "How does my brother know about our future?" ”

Jia Lian smiled: "The two of you have grown up, you have a good relationship when you were a child, better than other sisters, and I am afraid that the ancestors and uncles will also have this meaning." Baoyu remembered reading the West Chamber with Daiyu and burying flowers together, those old things were like yesterday, thinking that she was going to fight with the Han people, and she didn't know when she would be able to come back, and she couldn't help sighing. The two were talking, Jia Zheng came in with a black face, asked his soldiers to retreat, and said to Jia Lian: Which of you two ** the people of the Thirteenth Army robbed Wu Sangui's military salary, Jia Lian said in fear: I really don't know.

Jia Zhengdao: You don't have to lie to me, such a big thing, you can't do it without internal should, now Wu Sangui and King Beijing have asked me and your Uncle Zhen to pay for the military salary, so they don't make a noise, you didn't rob the military salary, you robbed my family. I can't care about this much now, so I just find out this loser's things and send them to be dealt with strictly. Jia Lian said: "What do we have to do with this military salary, this is also the bullying of King Pingxi and King Beijing, Uncle might as well face the saint first, and treat them with a weak guard." At most, Brother Zhen is a little tired. ”

"Let's go to face the saint and tell the most popular people and the most powerful people in the court, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?" Jia Lian's heart moved, and he said, "Uncle, don't worry, where is King Beijing at this time?" ”

"It's already in Liu Liangzuo's army, and now it's in the account."

"Then I'll go to see King Beijing first, and naturally I'll get this matter done. Just don't worry your uncle. ”

Jia Zheng has nothing to do, saying you go, Baoyu also wants to go along, Jia Zheng scolded: "You and I are honest in this tent, you are a dime child, you have not made an inch, you don't have a serious military rank, what can you do." ”

Jia Lian didn't dare to take Baoyu back, so he quietly pulled Jia Zheng out of the tent to discuss.

"Uncle must hide this matter from Baoyu, as long as there is one person, it is Sister Lin, you know that the old princess of Beijing and the old lady said that they intended to ask Sister Lin to be the concubine of his family, and the old lady refused to let go, and now as long as the uncle nods, naturally the king of Beijing will face the uncle. The king of Pingxi was afraid of the old prince of Beijing, and he dared to ask for how much silver. ”

Baoyu was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey his father, and faintly heard the mention of Sister Lin in the tent, but unfortunately although his internal strength was good, he had little training in this listening, and only heard a few words. I only felt that it was very disadvantageous to myself, and when I saw that the two of them went to the tent over there, I wanted to go out, but I was stopped by the guards, saying that the master ordered that the second master should study the military book in the tent and not run around.

I had to go back and look through those books on the art of war. Mingyan and the sergeant came in with food, Baoyu was overjoyed when she saw Mingyan, and hurriedly pulled Mingyan over and instructed her carefully, and Mingyan nodded.

Who knew that as soon as Mingyan approached the big tent, he was arrested by the soldiers as a traitor, but fortunately, King Beijing and Liu Liangzuo saw that they were from Jia Zheng's family and did not pursue it. Jia Lian let him tie up first, and he will teach him a lesson later.

Here, King Beijing didn't expect that he was just shirking the responsibility of losing his military salary, but he accidentally got Jia Zheng's promise to Daiyu, and he was overjoyed, and Liu Liangzuo prepared some military salary and sent it to Wu Dashuai. King Beijing and Jia Zheng went back to the capital, and Jia Zheng asked Jia Lian to detain Baoyu in the army and not let her go. He went to pick up the cigarette and followed him all the way: said that since you want to know, go with me to do this, but leak a little wind and break your leg carefully.

Baoyu couldn't see the smoke, but when he saw Jia Lian coming back, he only talked to himself every day about some military books and martial arts, and he was very worried, where did he have something to do to read and practice martial arts, and saw that Liu Liangzuo's army was going to Hanzhong, if he followed the army, he really didn't know when he would be able to return to Beijing. Liu Liangzuo came to visit the patient, at that time, the most taboo in the army was feverish, weak, afraid of the plague, quite worried, let Jia Lian temporarily escort Baoyu back to Beijing.

Baoyu was secretly happy, and the cousins drove back to Beijing in a two-wheel drive.

Baoyu was lying on the car, Jia Lian followed on horseback, and several personal soldiers guarded him. Baoyu knew that she was going back, she was already refreshed, and Jia Lian smiled; You have a long love for children like this, and you have no chance of fame and fortune in this life. Baoyu laughed, "I didn't care about any career. ”

"No wonder they call you a rich idler, this wealth can be chic for a day, if this wealth is gone, how can you make a living." Baoyu said: "Since God gave birth to me, there is no reason not to give me a bowl of rice to eat, let me starve to death." ”

Jia Lian sighed and said: "Look at this road, there is hunger all over the place, who is not born in heaven and earth and raised by parents." ”

Baoyu said: "Brother, don't let me think about these problems, I'm just like an arrow now." ”

But seeing that some officers and soldiers were robbing the carriage of a few fleeing businessmen on the road, and dragged the fine soft away, Jia Lian hurriedly stopped the carriage, and waited for the group of officers and soldiers to loot before moving forward, Baoyu came out of the car, and saw several men killed on the side of the road, women and children were gathered together, an officer grabbed a woman to his side, snatched the child she was holding in his arms, and threw it down into the valley, Baoyu was so frightened that he screamed, rushed over and hit the officer head-on, Jia Lian jumped up from his horse and snatched the child. When he put the child in the woman's arms, he saw that the child was looking at him with his eyes open, and he grinned, and his heart could not help but be greatly moved.

"Yi Feng quickly take the children and the women away." Jia Lian instructed his own soldiers.

The officer said, "Who are you who dare to meddle with my affairs." ”

Jia Lian sneered, "Originally, I didn't care if you killed these men, but you actually killed this child, I just can't bear it anymore, and I can't control myself." ”

Jia Lian said: "You are Liu Dashuai's subordinate. ”

"You know how to meddle, brothers, take down this gang of bandits for me."

Jia Lian said: "Wait. The general's token flickered, and the military cao was so frightened that he almost knelt down. But he was pulled over by a big man next to him and said: "Jun Cao, there are not many people in this group, it is better to kill them, otherwise let them pass the news to the marshal, and they will also die." ”

"He is an official of the imperial court, sent by the emperor, and killing him will destroy the nine clans."

"If he tells the marshal that you are not suppressing bandits, but killing ordinary people, you will not be able to wait for the destruction of the Nine Clans. It's better for everyone to fight and kill. ”

The military Cao nodded, I have a plan, and the two of them discussed a few words. walked to Jia Lian's side and knelt down. Jia Lian saw what tricks he had, but he didn't help him, and listened to him crying bitterly to say that he had changed his ways, and he was annoyed, and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, let people go, bury others well, and that's it." He bent down to help him up, but was hit in the face by the man with a bag of white ash, Jia Lian blocked his eyes with his hand, and was knocked down by the man with his fist.

Baoyu was in a hurry, pounced on the man, picked up the man, and turned in his hand, the man screamed, pulled Baoyu's hair in the air, Baoyu was in pain, and punched and beaten, but when he heard the sound of fluttering, the blood in Baoyu's eyes flew up, and he threw the man away, but he saw that the person's head was broken like a melon, and he was confused everywhere, and he saw that he was not alive, and Baoyu himself was sprayed because of internal force, and the blood was excluded from the circle. The surrounding soldiers didn't expect Baoyu to be so powerful, and no one caught up. Baoyu herself almost fainted.

Baoyu saw that he had killed someone, he was so frightened that he wanted to cry, he barely held back, and went to help Jia Lian, Jia Lian's eye was injured, Baoyu hurriedly asked people to rinse with water, but those Qing soldiers called a few archers to set up a formation and wanted to shoot at Baoyu and others. was in chaos, but saw the lame Taoist and the lame monk coming from behind, the lame Taoist priest moved very quickly, and had already broken the bows and arrows of those Qing soldiers one by one. That big man is about Shaolin kung fu, and he mingles with the leper monk. It only took a moment for him to be lame, and he tied them up.

Baoyu likes to come: Uncle Lame, you are here.

The man smiled, and Baoyu saw clearly that this lame Taoist priest was much younger and more handsome than the lame uncle, but there was a scar on his face. was puzzled, so I went to see the leper monk, and when I saw it, I was overjoyed: "Xianglian is you." ”

Liu Xianglian had a vicious fight with that person, and the man suddenly said: "Stop, you are really Liu Xianglian." ”

So what, Liu Xianglian said coldly, "I'm Sun Shaozu, we learned kung fu under a master"

Liu Xianglian sneered, "I have my own teacher, what's the matter with you?" ”

You forgot that when you were studying art in Beijing, you worshipped Sun Yuanxiang, the successor of the Hui School, which was the name of your father.

Liu Xianglian stopped, "You hurt Jia Lian like this, how do you explain it?" ”

It was the idea of this dead ghost, and I didn't know that he was the second master of Lian, to say that my father and the Jia family still have relatives.

Liu Xianglian looked at Baoyu and knew what they were related to, Baoyu trembled with anger and whispered to Liu Xianglian: "What kind of marriage, if it is really Sun Shaozu, it will be the doll kiss who gave my sister-in-law to welcome the spring at home." ”

Liu Xianglian whispered: "The character is not very good, and I can't imagine that it is my teacher's child." When I was a child, I looked at how it became like this. But there is the appearance of the master back then. ”

"Your master's appearance?"

"He sings the old ones. Raised a few of our orphans left behind by the war. The Danjiao I learned was taught by my teacher. Later they were separated. I set up my own door. ”

That Sun Shaozu was generous, treated Baoyu as a brother-in-law, and cleaned Jia Lian's eyes. Liu Xianglian stopped and said that you take someone with the corpse and get out of here quickly, and you have figured out how to talk to your Liu Dashuai, but I don't understand one thing, let the second master of Lian and the second master Bao be wronged, I don't know who you are.

Sun Shaozu only promised to take people away.

Here Liu Xianglian smiled: You know this lame Taoist, this is the big hero of Jiangyin back then, Duan Chuanxiu.

Duan Chuanxiu nodded, and Baoyu was shocked that this face with a scar was still so handsome. It turned out that the people had already passed on the deeds of Duan Chuanxiu, and now that he saw the living, Baoyu was really excited. The three of them discussed going to the hospital to treat Jia Lian's eyes first.

Fortunately, Jia Lian avoided it in time and did not hurt him too strictly, the doctor said, but if he raised it for six or seven days, he would change the medicine here, and it would be good, Baoyu was worried about Daiyu in his heart, and he was really like an arrow. The doctor of this medical hall and Dr. Hu worked together in the Tai Hospital, and Jia Lian and others said that Dr. Hu is now living in seclusion not far from the capital, because Dr. Hu's eldest daughter is the daughter-in-law of this doctor, and told her father that Mrs. Hu's son had used the wrong tiger and wolf medicine, causing the little lady to swallow gold and commit suicide, and now this foolish brother must marry this little lady, but this little lady because she had an abortion and then swallowed gold and injured her body, and she couldn't have children, so the father and son concentrated on studying how to treat women's infertility. If the son can make the little lady conceive a child, he can get married.

Jia Lian was blindfolded at the time, and the daughter-in-law was changing the dressing for him, and while changing the dressing, she told Imperial Doctor Zhang that this was a common thing, Jia Lian's heart moved, and he listened carefully to what they said.

Imperial Physician Zhang said: "I pestered your father for more than a month last month, and I wanted your father to teach me Western medical skills, he has a Western injection acupuncture book, and the medicine used has a few flavors of water, which is useful for tuberculosis and smallpox, and your father said that a female physician got it from a disciple of John Tang. can be really useful. ”

The woman laughed and said, "When you talk about this, my father still laughs at you, saying that the first time you got that potion, you must drink it, and my father was so scared that he hid all the medicine."

I'm just curious that this Western medicine is treated from the blood vessels, and this acupuncture method is very different from our acupuncture, so I studied it seriously, but I asked my son to go to the West with the boat to study medicine, just to come back and treat our people here.

The woman smiled: He has a letter, saying that he will definitely come back after studying, but it is not easy to learn, first of all, the writing language is different, Western medicine and our mental methods are different. The day before yesterday, I sent a lot of prescriptions for treating my brother and daughter-in-law's disease, let us refer to it, I think those medicines are completely different from our Chinese medicine. Guiyou said that they use stones, to the similarity with our alchemy, we use plants, but it is the work of eating, I have always been a lot of puzzles, I have already transcribed the information, put it on my father's bookcase, my father's experience and knowledge are different, you might as well study more.

Books are hated less when they are used. I can't wait for me to go out to study in the West, when will that kid come back after completing his studies.

Jia Lian heard that they were no longer talking about Imperial Physician Hu's son, and hurriedly asked: The Imperial Physician Hu you are talking about is the first doctor in the capital.

Dr. Zhang nodded.

I'm from Rongguo Mansion in the capital, and I'm an old acquaintance with him, and a young lady in our house was once injured in a very strange way, all of which he saved by using methods, but we wanted to thank him, but we didn't know where he ran to. Jia Lian said tentatively.

Doctor Zhang smiled: It's okay if you are from Rongguofu, if it is from Ningguofu, he is afraid that he will not see you. The thing he was most ashamed to say in his life was that Ning Guofu was implicated, but fortunately, the little lady finally had a good place now, and if there was another man and half woman because of this, they would be at ease.

Jia Lian's eyes were still blindfolded, he took Baoyu's hand with him, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and try to ask for me where this Imperial Doctor Hu lives." Help me.

Baoyu knew that it was for Second Sister You, but obviously she would never say it if she went directly to ask Imperial Doctor Zhang like this, so busy: Brother, wait, I'll go out and discuss it with the two brothers.

Baoyu came out, and when she talked about it, Liu Xianglian and Duan Chuanxiu were silent, and Baoyu arrived: My brother has never forgotten his feelings for his second sister-in-law, and I hope that my brothers will find a way to let that Imperial Doctor Zhang say it.

Liu Xianglian sighed: If you want to talk about the whereabouts of Imperial Physician Hu, I and your brother Duan both know that Brother Duan was seriously injured back then, and it was Imperial Physician Hu who rescued him from the mass grave, how can I not know where Imperial Physician Hu lives, and besides, this Second Sister You can live a life, and it is also the grace of Miss Lin in your house, she has never told you, naturally she knows that there is only a disadvantage in saying it, and now Second Sister You has a lifelong dependence, and when Second Master Lian saw her, it was nothing more than harming her again.

Duan Chuanxiu sneered and said: You aristocratic sons, where do you really know how to cherish feelings, it's just that you are in love for a while, and where you manage others, you still have a lifetime of life.

Baoyu couldn't think of the twists and turns, the three of them spoke, but they didn't expect Jia Lian to grope out and listen, standing there and not seeing his eyes, the tears and blood flowed down, the three of them looked at the blood and tears on his face, and bluffed, such a toss, Jia Lian's eye disease was serious, and he was delayed in the medical hall of Imperial Doctor Zhang for a few days. That Jia Lian thought about it and thought about it, and then went to see the second sister's heart when he died.
