Chapter 595: The Emperor is coming
Wang Qian's body in a coma shook suddenly, Chen Xu let go of his hand, the thin needle went half an inch deeper, looking at the trembling and shaking needle tail, the sweat on Chen Xu's head rolled down instantly.
This needle pierced Wang Qian's mouth, half an inch away from the human center.
The two glanced at each other, and Yu Wuya also whispered with sweat: "Engong, although the acupuncture point is only an approximate location, you are a little far behind!" ”
"I know!" Chen Xu stretched out his hand and pulled out the fine needle, and Wang Qian, who was lying on the bed, shook violently again.
Yu Wuya wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and stopped talking.
"Poof~" Chen Xu pricked the first needle for the second time, this time between Wang Qian's nose and mouth, but it seemed that the depth was not enough, Chen Xu pressed down again, and Wang Jian shook violently again.
Yu Wuya turned his head to look at the wall, unable to bear to look directly.
Half an hour later, just when Wang Ben and the others were anxious, the door finally creaked open.
Chen Xu was drenched in sweat, holding a cloth bag in his hand, and his body trembled slightly.
Yu Wuya followed behind with an iron sword, his handsome cheeks kept pulling out slightly, and he was also soaked with clothes.
"Tongwu Hou go in and take a look, the general seems to be showing signs of improvement, it's best to quickly ask the doctor to come and make a careful diagnosis, by the way, don't spread this matter!"
"Qinghe Hou rest assured, today's matter will not be revealed!" Wang Ben hurriedly surrendered his hand.
"That's good, Asahi will say goodbye first!"
"Wang San, Wang Si, send Qinghe Hou!" Wang Ben yelled outside the courtyard, and then couldn't wait to get into the room, while Chen Xu hurriedly left the courtyard with the cloth bag and Yu Wuya, and left the Tongwu Marquis Mansion accompanied by Wang San and Wang Si, climbed into his carriage and ran away in a hurry.
"Why is Master Hou in such a hurry?" Wang Sanwang looked at each other on all sides, and at this time, the entire Tongwu Marquis Mansion was already in an uproar, because Wang Qian, who had been in a coma for nearly two days, woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he gave Wang Ben a big ear scraper.
"The old man is not dead yet, say, are you pricking me with a needle!"
Wang Ben naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, and could only nod desperately when he looked at his father's still bleeding mouth.
……
"Brother Yu, have you just confirmed that Wang Jian has a breath?"
Sitting in the carriage bumpy all the way out of the city, the scorching sun was in the sky, Chen Xu was nervously holding the cloth bag and asked Yu Wuya who was following him very uncertainly.
"Engong, you have asked for the eighth time, Wang Jian is indeed breathing clearly, and you have finally called the pulse, your heart should be clear!" Yu Wuya said speechlessly.
"The number is over, but I don't know if it's his pulse or my hand trembling......" Chen Xu felt that his fingers were still trembling slightly at this time.
Although the takeaway brother claims to be omnipotent, but the advanced skill of needle pricking has indeed never been touched, it was better to let Yu Wuya do it in this matter, but Chen Xu finally decided to do it himself, the opportunity for clinical internship is not very common, anyway, the dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, and he may also accumulate some experience for the future use of this technology.
Back to Qinghe Villa, it was almost the end of the day.
The weather was still hot, and several princesses and Meng Wan's chariot and horse honor guards were still in the courtyard, and the sound of a group of young girls playing in the water could be heard in the backyard.
Chen Xu went to wash his hands and face and change clothes, and thought for a while that he didn't go to the swimming pool to see the beautiful women playing in the water, because there were too many princesses who came today, if Qin Shi Huang knew that he had seduced all his daughters who had not yet left the cabinet to the mansion to watch the bath, I don't know if he would find an opportunity to cripple his legs.
"Master Hou, what do you command?" Butler Zhao Lun was summoned over.
"I have bought another manor outside the south of the city, and the title deeds of the land and property have been obtained, you arrange for someone to take it over, and have people tidy up the house, find a few of the most spacious rooms in it, remove all the furniture, and tell me when I am done, I have my own arrangements!"
"Yes, Master Hou!" Zhao Lun respectfully took the land deed and land deed, and braved the sun to personally take people out of the house to take over the new property bought by Hou Ye.
When Chen Xu returned to the house, the maid naturally went to the backyard to inform Shui Qingrou, so not long after the housekeeper left, Shui Qingrou accompanied a group of princesses and Meng Wan with wet hair to greet and salute.
Next, it was no different from yesterday, a group of little princesses were offered with delicious food and drink, and then Yingge Yan Dance had an unusually lively family party, and it was not until the end of Shen Shi that a group of princesses and Meng Wan reluctantly said goodbye.
"Fifth sister, Hui Yan doesn't want to go back, I want to play with Sister Xing'er and Sister Yu Ji!" The youngest Yingqiuyan hugged Xing'er's arm when she left, and didn't want to let go.
"If you don't go back, I won't take you to Hou Ye's house to play in the future!" Ying Shiyan hurriedly pulled Ying Qiuyan and said.
"Sister, let's go, the city gate will be closed sooner, let my father know that we will be punished again!" The two twelve or thirteen-year-old princesses hurriedly stepped forward to persuade together, so Ying Qiuyan had no choice but to get in the car and leave crying.
"Brother-in-law, leave delicious pulp ice powder for Qiu Yan tomorrow...... And popsicles......"
The carriage had gone far away, and a little princess could be seen lying on the railing of the carriage looking back and shouting.
From Qinghe Villa to Xianyang City, it is almost twenty miles, but this is basically the most prosperous area of the Inner History Mansion, the villages along the way are dense, the roads are wide, the horseback riding speed is fast about twenty minutes to enter the city, and the car ride is also up to an hour, and now the curfew time in Xianyang is delayed for half an hour, almost just in time for the city gate to close.
What's more, even if the city gate is closed, the guards guarding the gate dare not lock up a group of princesses and the daughters of the imperial historian's family outside the city, so Chen Xu is not worried about this group of flowery girls being homeless, at most they will be scolded by their respective concubines when they go back late, or they will be scolded by Qin Shi Huang, but according to Qin Shi Huang's consistent irresponsibility to his daughter, it is estimated that the possibility of taking the initiative to scold is relatively small.
Watching a group of people's chariots and horses getting farther and farther away in the red sunset, Chen Xu suddenly had a not-so-good idea in his heart, so he brought Li Guihe and a steward over and ordered: "Take advantage of the cool evening, hurry up along the road to notify the nearby pavilion chiefs and village leaders, and convene people to repair this road, fill in the potholes, and inspect it so as not to miss ......"
Although Li Guihe didn't know the intentions of the Hou Ye, he still took the order and left.
"Xu'er, why do you suddenly want to build a road, this road is long, and it will take several days to repair it!" Chen Jiang reminded his son.
"Mother, after I go back, I tell everyone in the backyard to pay attention to etiquette in the past two days, I guess the emperor may come to our house!"
"Huh!?" Not only was Chen Jiang surprised, but almost all the servants who came out to see him off covered their mouths.
Qin Shi Huang's unmarried daughters are counted as Ying Shiyan, a total of six.
On the first day came one, on the second day three and on the third day six.
So many daughters collectively went out of the city to find Qinghehou to play, even if Qin Shi Huang has a big heart and can encompass the universe, it is estimated that he will still ask about the specific situation, and he went to see the cement road in the morning Qin Shi Huang did not mention it, it is estimated that he does not know yet, but it is impossible for him not to know such a big movement at the moment.
What's more, after this group of little princesses go back, they will definitely spread the swimming pool and food of the Qinghe Hou family, and Qin Shi Huang can't help but be curious to come and see even if he doesn't want to come.
Let alone...... In case so many princesses are all troubled by the Marquis of Qinghe, that ...... Qin Shi Huang's blood is estimated to stain the palace.
As Chen Xu's personal fiefdom patrol, Li Gui, Li Qing and Li Hun's grandfather and grandson all carried bows and arrows on their backs and held the tokens of the Hou Mansion to inform the villages along the road, and soon under the leadership of the pavilion chief and the villages, a large group of farmers drove cattle and horses with hoes and rattan baskets to push wheelbarrows and began to build roads, and not only men, women and children all went into battle together, so when the sun set, the direction of Qinghe Villa leading to Xianyang City, there were thousands of people building roads, and they were all very happy to greet the Hou Mansion stewards who were patrolling back and forth.
It was dark late in the summer, and it was not until the end of the unitary period that it was gradually dim to the point that it was impossible to see, but after more than an hour of repair, only about a third of the road about 20 miles long was completed, so under the leadership of the village leaders, the villagers lit torches and continued to work.
Early the next morning, Chen Xu got up early for the first time, rode a horse and took a group of guards such as Li Gui and Yu Wuya to inspect the road, and found that the entire road had been repaired very smoothly, the potholes had been filled, the ruts had all been dug up and repaired, the thorns and weeds had been cut down, and the roadbed that had been hidden by thorns in many places had also been cleaned up again, and the road surface had widened a lot.
Overnight, the usual pothole-ridden road was completely transformed.
"Master Hou, yesterday I heard that Lord Hou arranged the road construction, and they were all enthusiastic, as long as the men, women and children who could work participated in the ......."
Although Li Qing is nearly sixty years old, his hair is slightly gray, but he is burly and speaks with great momentum, and his body also exudes a fierce momentum, at first glance, he was a good hand in the army back then, and there are fourth-level military merits, and his family also has six hectares of land and more than ten acres of real estate, and because he is an archer, he is allowed to be a hunter, and he is still famous in the fiefdom, but Xianyang is the old nest of Daqin, and the fourth-level military service injured and retired soldiers can only be an ordinary farmer and hunter, and the township pavilion chief can't be a monk.
"The farmers on the fiefdom are very grateful to Hou Ye, and being able to help Hou Ye repair the road is also a little bit of their repayment, and the repair was completed until the end of the night last night!" Although Li Hun is not in good health, he is still a good bow and arrow, and his swordsmanship is no worse than that of his son Li Gui, but he seems to be sick all day long, Chen Xu asked a doctor to diagnose him, but he didn't check it out, Chen Xu could only ask the doctor to prescribe some health medicine to make up for him, and it seems to have improved a lot in the past ten days.
Taking advantage of the cool weather, Chen Xu rode a horse to inspect the repaired road next to another, and felt much better than he imagined, so he praised the village leaders of several villages along the road, and at the same time asked them to notify them to speed up the preparation for the harvest of autumn grain.
