Chapter 48: Aftermath

When Shen Jingfang woke up, it was already dawn.

This night, she slept very deeply, very long, as if she had slept for a long time.

Moreover, she seems to have had a long dream, which seems to be very bad, and she wants to wake up but can't.

Now, she finally opened her eyes and stared distractedly at the top of the bed and the plain blue net.

The next moment, her eyes suddenly widened, she sat up from the bed suddenly, looked around in disbelief, and her face showed a little horror.

She found herself in a strange room.

This room is not big, only a bed, a table and chairs by the window, and boxes and cabinets, and there is a faint smell of incense at the end of the nose.

She herself was wearing only a plain middle coat, a pair of blue cloth shoes on her feet, and a blue robe on the hanger next to her.

And her stomach was empty, and she had never felt so hungry as she did now.

"Double Happiness—Double Happiness—" She wanted to call her personal maid in and ask her what was going on.

However, her voice was weak, as if she hadn't eaten for many days.

After shouting a few times, no one came in, and her slightly dull mind finally remembered her situation.

Yes, Double Happiness has been killed by the Generalissimo's staff, and she is also disgusted by the Generalissimo, I am afraid that she will "die" in a few days.

But what's going on now?

Shen Jingfang panicked in her heart, and regardless of her current disheveled clothes, she walked out of the bedroom door, and then saw a Buddhist hall.

The Buddha hall is cleaned very quietly, the Guanyin master is enshrined, the Buddha statue is placed on both sides of the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha statue is offered in front of the oil lamp, incense burner, pure water, flowers, fruits and vegetarian food, the incense burner, there are also three incense sticks that have been burned halfway, and a prayer mat is placed in front of the table.

Shen Jingfang looked at the Buddha statue of Guanyin in a daze, but her heart seemed to sink to the bottom, and she shivered with cold, and she had a very bad guess about her situation.

"Are you awake?" At this moment, the voice of a hoarse woman suddenly sounded.

Shen Jingfang was frightened and came back to her senses, and followed the prestige, and saw a woman wearing a red power suit with an ugly scar on her face walking in.

Not only that, but she also has one less arm, and her figure is taller than that of ordinary women, which looks very scary.

The woman's outfit and the momentum around her made her feel very familiar, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of her appearance, it also confirmed the guess in her heart.

Does this mean that she has saved her life?

So, she quickly calmed down and asked, "Are you Mrs. Tai's person?" ”

The woman said expressionlessly: "I am Chang Ying under the command of the big leader, you can call me Chang Guard, I am here to protect your safety." ”

Chang Ying was not the first group of people to follow Qin Shu, but it was also relatively early, he was inadvertently saved by Qin Shu, and later joined the Red Lotus Army, and was extremely loyal to Qin Shu. She trained very hard, and she was not afraid of death, because she had been doing farm work since she was a child, and her strength was greater than that of the average person, and she quickly caught up with everyone in terms of force, so she would rush to the front every time she charged, and she made countless contributions, and she was injured countless times, and once she was seriously injured and dying, if it weren't for Qin Shu to take out the medicine and save her life, she would almost not be able to survive.

Even so, her body is suitable for going to the battlefield again, she can't be too tired, and she can't do drastic movements anymore, which is almost equivalent to being wasted. However, the leader did not give up on her and let her stay in the Red Lotus Army as an instructor, but in fact, she couldn't help much at all.

She didn't want to be a piece of waste, she couldn't do anything. She wanted to do what she could for the leader, and she always wanted the leader to send her something to do. She even wanted to join the medical camp, but unfortunately, her hand prevented this from happening.

Because of this, Qin Shu sent this matter to her, not only to let her have something to do, but not to be too tired, so that she can recuperate.

Of course, she must also find a trustworthy person to do this, Chang Ying is just right.

Protect her?

Shen Jingfang didn't believe it, she preferred to believe that she was here to spy on herself.

And what does she have to protect her!

However, being alive was already a bonus.

It was imperative that she figure out her situation.

"Chang Guard, why am I here? Where is this again? Shen Jingfang asked.

"The leader felt that you were not guilty to death, so he pleaded with Generalissimo Qin for you, saved your life, and only let you cultivate your body in this heart cultivation nunnery." Chang Ying said calmly.

Shen Jingfang's first reaction was not to believe that Mrs. Tai would be so kind and intercede for her?

It's better to say that the generalissimo was soft-hearted for a while, and in the face of the husband and wife and her son, he spared her life, and she believed it even more!

Although she thought so in her heart, Shen Jingfang would not be stupid enough to say it. Therefore, she thanked Mrs. Tai with gratitude and sincerity for saving her life, and asked Mrs. Tai to convey her gratitude to Mrs. Tai, and promised that she would definitely be safe and self-cultivation, and would definitely not let Mrs. Tai down.

"It's good that you have this heart." Chang Ying saw her sincerity, and only then did she show a smile, but when she laughed, it was more terrible than when she didn't laugh, and looked at Shen Jingfang and said: "I'm afraid that some people are not grateful, and treat other people's kindness as donkey liver and lungs, and it is not a pity for such people to die, I don't want the leader to do good deeds and be resented." ”

Shen Jingfang didn't dare to look at her face, knowing that she was using this to beat herself, but she couldn't refute it, she could only laugh.

She still wants to ask for news from her mouth! Therefore, I could only follow her words: "What Chang Guards said is that to be a man is to be grateful for the picture, Mrs. Tai's kindness to the concubine, and the concubine will definitely repay Mrs. Tai in the future." ”

There was a pause. ”

After a pause, she asked again: "It's just that Mrs. Tai and the marshal did not say when they will take me back?" ”

That's what she cares about most.

When Chang Ying heard this, her expression was a little strange, and even the scars on her face were a little distorted.

Then, she shook her head and said with a smile: "Shen, you should be content if you can leave a small life, and you still want to go back?" It's a pipe dream. ”

Shen Jingfang's face changed greatly when she heard this, she suppressed the panic in her heart, and asked with a reluctant smile, "What does Chang Guard mean by this?" I'm the wife of the generalissimo Ming Media, and if I don't go back, do I want to live in this nunnery for the rest of my life? How can there be such a thing in the world? ”

When Chang Ying heard this, she looked at her with some pity and said, "It seems that you still haven't figured out your situation." Do you think that when this happens, you can still go back and be your Duchess? The leader saved you, not the generalissimo's wife. I advise you, die this heart as soon as possible, stay in this nunnery and cultivate your self-cultivation, don't think about those who have or don't. ”

Shen Jingfang's face turned pale, and she immediately understood what Chang Ying meant, and the last trace of luck in her heart disappeared.

In other words, it will be Mrs. Shen who will "die", but Shen will still be alive.

From then on, she is no longer the wife of the generalissimo, the duchess of Chengguo, she will only be an ordinary woman.

Shen Jingfang closed her eyes in pain, she couldn't accept such a blow at all, what was the difference between this and asking for her life?

It's just to let her survive in secret.

Her ambitions, her ambitions, were all shattered by her hammer, and they could never be realized.

"Actually, it's not bad here, there are mountains and water, there is food, drink and shelter, and there are people to serve, compared with those ordinary people, you are much happier." Chang Ying saw that her expression was a little dazzling, and couldn't help but say.

It's not that she's worried about her, it's just that she doesn't want the person who the leader pleaded to save him just die.

What's more, she really thinks so. In the past, when she couldn't even eat a meal, she couldn't dream of such a life.

She has suffered so many injuries, her face is ruined, she is missing an arm, and she has to endure the torture of illness, she has never thought about death, she is just deprived of her identity, who will show this face like a mourning exam?

The next moment, she shouted "Aunt Sun", and then, a middle-aged woman with an honest appearance walked in.

"She is Aunt Sun, you can find her if you have something. Aunt Sun is very diligent, but she can't speak, and her reaction is a little slower, but it's still no problem to send you a meal and run an errand. After Chang Ying finished speaking, she asked Aunt Sun to go down, and brought food to Shen Jingfang by the way.

"By the way, there is also a vegetable field and a flower garden in the yard, you can plant vegetables if you have nothing to do, play with flowers and plants, copy scriptures if you have nothing to do, recuperate your mind, don't think about holding back the water all day long, and it will not be in vain for the leader to save you." Chang Ying said unceremoniously.

"No, I don't believe it...... I want to see the Generalissimo...... Ahh

However, as soon as she went out, she was thrown in, and the wolf fell to the ground.

It turned out that there were also two female guards guarding the door.

They also retired from the battlefield and could no longer fight, but there was still force, and it was no problem to deal with some small people, let alone just guard Shen Jingfang.

This Yangxin Nunnery, on the mountain in the northern suburbs of Yingtian City, was originally a desolate and dilapidated nunnery, with only one nunnery owner and a middle-aged nun, all of whom had fled before.

But now that Shen Jingfang came, it was still renovated, at least it could live in, and it was not so desolate.

The owner of the nunnery has received many benefits, naturally there is no one who does not agree, and he never asks about anything, in fact, this nunnery is already under Qin Shu's control.

Chang Ying looked at her coldly and said, "Don't say that the generalissimo has already set out on the expedition, what can you do if you see him?" It's just a small loss of life for nothing. The Generalissimo is not as talkative as our leader. Finally, I would like to advise you, don't run around, there are wild beasts outside, such as wild wolves, if you are injured by wild wolves, don't blame me for not warning you in advance. ”

Chang Ying has ordered everything he should have ordered, and he didn't want to stay here anymore to see Shen's annoying face.

As a member of the Red Lotus Army, she has no good impression of the Shen family, who is always calculating the leader in private, and telling her these things is just following orders.

After Chang Ying left, Shen Jingfang collapsed on the ground and didn't move for a long time.

It wasn't until Aunt Sun brought her food that her eyes moved.

Then she slowly got up from the ground, walked to the dining table in the middle room, and looked at the two plates of vegetables and a bowl of white rice that had been placed on the table, she immediately sat down and ate with gusto.

Shen Jingfang was "unconscious" for three days before, and she didn't wake up until the dust settled. In the past few days of sleep, she was only fed gruel every day, and when she woke up, she felt so hungry.

After Aunt Sun finished delivering the meal, she went out directly, she usually only does some chores and rough work, and she is a tenacious person, so she will not think of serving people. She couldn't speak, and Shen Jingfang couldn't ask her about anything.

Shen Jingfang also figured it out, she didn't want to die, she wanted to live.

Only by living can there be hope. If you die, everything is over.

She also has a son!

As long as she is not divorced, he is the eldest son, and it is very likely that he will inherit the generalissimo's Yiqiē in the future, maybe he will take her out, and she will have the day to restore her glory.

With this good wish, Shen Jingfang finally accepted this qiē and settled down.

……

In the barracks, Qin Shu finished reading the secret letter in his hand about Shen Jingfang's recent situation, and then smiled slightly.

She knew that Shen Jingfang would definitely not seek death lightly, she could bend and stretch, and she had a strong desire to survive.

It's just that she didn't expect it either

She didn't expect that Shen Jingfang would accept the status quo so quickly and adapt to her current identity and life.

She is like a layman with a pure heart and few desires, either meditating and participating in meditation every day, or copying Buddhist scriptures or tending to flowers and plants, and at most asking the abbot of the nunnery to teach Buddhism, she couldn't be more honest.

Qin Shu didn't say anything about this.

No matter how much she expressed herself, the result was the same.

Qin Shu put Shen Jingfang's matter behind her, and said to the woman who respectfully bowed her head and waited for a reply: "You go on!" ”

This woman, named Jin Qing, was one of the first fifty students, the veteran of the Red Lotus Army, she was not strong in military talent, but she was extremely business-talented, so Qin Shu left her to handle the medical hall pharmacy and other industries under the Red Lotus Army, creating a zào military supply for the Red Lotus Army, instead of relying on her supplies all the time.

She will create an industry exclusive to the Red Lotus Army, in addition to creating zào wealth, she can also house wounded sergeants.

After fifteen, the medical hall was opened, and the medical staff were in place, and after a few days, Qin Shu planned to ask about the situation.

Jin Qing said: "Because our clinic also implemented free clinics and some activities to benefit the people in the pharmacy at the beginning, although there are many patients, it is still in a state of loss. Fortunately, the reputation has been out, and many people know about our Red Lotus Medical Center, and it must not be long before it will be profitable. ”

After playing the name of the Red Lotus Medical Hall, everyone knew that this was an industry under the Red Lotus Army, and naturally no one dared to make trouble, so there was a lot less trouble.

However, the Red Lotus Medical Hall is more suitable for dealing with all kinds of trauma, and it is not very good at common and incurable diseases, although it also hires a doctor with superb medical skills, but it is not his own person after all. It is also necessary to train female doctors who belong to the Red Lotus Army.

The particularity of the Red Lotus Medical Center is destined to have more female patients in the future, and Jin Qingjian has trained more female doctors who specialize in gynecology.

There are also medicinal materials, and she has also found several channels to purchase medicinal materials. The quality of medicinal materials will also be strictly controlled, etc.

Jin Qing thought of all aspects, and also wrote a plan for Qin Shu to see.

After reading it, Qin Shu nodded appreciatively and said, "Very good, you are very thoughtful, just do what you say, do it well, I know you will be able to do it."

"Yes, my subordinates will work hard." With Qin Shu's approval, Jin Qing was very happy.

For a long time, her grades have not been very good, she has always felt that she is very useless, dragging everyone back, and now that she has a place to use, and she has been praised by the leader, she feels that she is not so useless, and she has not lived up to the leader's training.

Qin Shu also plans to run a handicraft industry in the future.

In fact, there are various handicrafts under You'an's hands. Whether it is shipbuilding, weapons, textiles, salt and iron, etc., he has his own workshops and craftsmen, and if he ascends the throne, this will definitely be regarded as an "official industry". Even firearms are specially manufactured by the Ordnance Bureau, and Qin Shu also worked as a consultant in the Ordnance Bureau.

Qin Shu also plans to enter the textile industry in the city, and Ying Tianfu can be regarded as one of the focuses of silk weaving production, and she will definitely not let it go. Not only that, Qin Shu also plans to set up a wine-making workshop, which mainly produces medical alcohol in addition to the wine he drinks. Medical alcohol is similar to the process of making liquor, but the distillation temperature is lower than that of liquor, the number of distillations is more than that of liquor, the alcohol content is higher, and the amount of finished products is higher than that of ordinary liquor.

Of course, medical alcohol has been successfully produced, but it is too wasteful of food and not too much is produced.

In particular, this year was hit by a disaster, and it was a time when there was a shortage of food, so it was even more impossible to use it for sake brewing.

Qin Shu planned to separate the Red Lotus Army from You'an's Qin Family Army, so she couldn't rely on them in all aspects, she wanted to take advantage of this time to set up her own handicraft industry chain.

Of course, the Red Lotus Army had never taken their things for nothing before, such as weapons and the like, which were basically purchased from You'an.

You'an originally refused to accept the money, but Qin Shu said that she didn't accept it, so she had to buy it from elsewhere. In any case, Qin Shu wanted the Red Lotus Army to remain independent. If it were you and me, the Red Lotus Army would have become a vassal of the Qin family's army long ago.

Even now, there are many people who think so. It's imperative to set up your own handicraft workshop.

Of course, these handicraft workshops do not need to recruit women, because it is too difficult, and some jobs are not suitable for women.

After Jin Qing retreated, Qin Shu went outside and went to the school to watch the training.

In the barracks, most of her dress is the standard of the Red Lotus Army, which makes it easier for her to integrate into the group.

Here, there is only the big chief, and there is no lady.

After Cheng Qiuyu led the troops to the battle, there was one less person to share for her, she was busier than before, You'an was also gone, if it weren't for Xu'er to take care of her, she couldn't wait to soak in the barracks all day and all night.

She trained the recruits more ruthlessly than Cheng Qiuyu, and these recruits were really miserable.

When I saw her, my legs trembled reflexively.

Who said that the big boss has a gentle personality and a good temper? She's simply scary than a couple of coaches combined.

Of course, the big boss didn't just train them, she often rewarded things, even the food was better than before, and the big leader often ate with them in the cafeteria. The usual big boss is indeed very easy to get along with.

While they feared her in their hearts, they also loved her very much.

Sometimes, when they were tired of training, the big boss would tell them stories, many of which were small stories that happened on the battlefield, so that they had a clear understanding of the battlefield, and because of this, many people's fear of the battlefield was dispelled.

The great chief also described a bright future for them, telling them who they were fighting for, and why they were fighting. Sue them, fighting a war is not just a man's business, sue them, they can also make meritorious contributions and glorify their ancestors.

In fact, it is not that no one is unwilling to go to the battlefield and is willing to go out and get married. It's a pity that it's easy to get on a thief ship, but it's hard to get off a thief ship.

At the beginning, when they joined the Red Lotus Army, they got a lot of peace

The settling-in fee is much more than the money you sold, and you can't quit when you say it. If you insist on withdrawing, in addition to double the return of the settling-in fee, you will have to bear 100 military sticks, and if you can survive, you can withdraw.

Or when the war is over, they can retire from the army and get married, at that time, they have already achieved fame, and glory and wealth are just around the corner.

There is no way out, so that we can rush forward without hesitation.

In order to survive, they can only train hard, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime.

These recruits finally have a trace of iron-blooded soldiers.

On this day, Qin Shu went home a little late, and when she got home, it was a little dark.

After changing her clothes and sitting down, Qin Shu asked Xiao Ruxuan, who came to greet her, "Is there anything going on at home today?" ”

Xiao Ruxuan said: "Mrs. Qiyu, Mrs. Xu has been here, and she wanted to see Mrs., but she was blocked back by the concubine. ”

Qin Shu was stunned when she heard this.

The people who were waiting around Shen Jingfang were all accused, but nothing would happen.

However, the Xu family is a little difficult to do.

The news of Shen Jingfang's illness had already spread, and Mrs. Xu was afraid that she heard the news, so she came to see Shen Jingfang.

Although it was said to the outside world that Shen Jingfang was seriously ill and not suitable to see guests, Mrs. Xu was Shen Jingfang's stepmother, and it seemed unreasonable not to let her see her.

But it was impossible for Qin Shu to let her see Shen Jingfang.

Qin Shu rubbed the corners of her forehead, and faintly regretted it in her heart, she knew that it was so troublesome, she shouldn't have been so scrupulous in the first place, and she was divorced directly, and there would not be so many bad things.

After thinking about it, she said, "If Mrs. Xu comes back next time, leave it to me to deal with!" ”

She was going to talk to Mrs. Xu.
