Chapter 44: Why Did Zhao Immortal Live and Die?

Xianyang was completely covered in snow.

It has been snowing since childhood, and it has been snowing until the end of the year, and the winter in Xianyang is not as cold as in the northern cold land, but it is cold many times compared to Nanchu, which is exactly the kind of point where you have to wear a fur coat when you say that it is not cold or not, and you have to wear a fur coat when you go out if it is not cold.

Zhao Qi is used to this kind of weather, he grew up in Lanzhou in his later life, and Xianyang is not far away, not to mention the climate difference, but there is heating in later life, and the room is relatively comfortable.

Daqin also has a brazier in winter, Zhao Qi is not used to this way of heating, the brazier is charcoal-burning, and there will naturally be soot. Since the brazier was put in the house in winter, Zhao Qi always felt that every morning he woke up with a smell of smoke in his mouth, and his nostrils were also very stuffed, and sometimes his nostrils were black.

If the brazier is installed in the house, it is necessary to open a crack in the window, mainly to prevent soot poisoning, the wind in winter can always blow in through the gap in the window, and the cold will follow.

The mortality rate of people in the winter of Daqin is very high, and some poor villagers' houses are too dilapidated to resist the invasion of the cold wind, and they huddle in the corner at night and shiver, and when they are found in the morning, they have frozen into popsicles.

As for the rich family, there are no worries about being cold, but there are still many people who die of gas poisoning, and ordinary people in this era have too little understanding of life, many people are only temporarily shocked because of gas poisoning, and his family will also be treated as dead people, in fact, as long as they sit in a ventilated place and take some simple measures, they can be alive.

This situation made Zhao Qi's head very big, and he arrogantly and unreasonably pulled out the "dead man" in the coffin of the funeral procession, and did chest compressions on the ground square against the hateful gaze of his family, and after saving the old man with gas poisoning, every day people with gas poisoning were sent to Zhao Qi for treatment.

Now the legend of Zhao Qi has flowed out of Xianyang City, and his reputation as a successor of Bian Que is confirmed, and some people even spread the story of Zhao Qi's rescue very mysteriously. It is said that Zhao Qi traveled with the guards one day, and saw the funeral on the way, Zhao Qi pinched his fingers and counted, and the person in the coffin had not finished his life, so he ordered the guards to stop the funeral team, take out the dead body from the coffin, and perform the technique of returning the yang, and pulled the dead person back from the hands of the king of Hades.

This is also the most widely circulated story about Zhao Qi in Xianyang City recently, now Zhao Qi jumped into the Yellow River can not be washed, he is completely regarded as a god, and even the family that was saved by Zhao Qi does not know what to think, actually built a temple for Zhao Qi, to welcome all parties who have been rescued by him to save the incense of the patients with soot poisoning.

Of course, the elders who knew Zhao Qi had also heard this story, the old man Meng just stroked his beard and laughed, Zhao Qi's magic was nothing new to him, Lu Buwei didn't say anything with a black face after listening to Mrs. Mu, he wanted to pry open Zhao Qi's brain to see what was in this kid's head, saving people can save himself as a fairy, and then looked back at Lu Lizard who was lying on the ground counting ants, raised his foot and kicked it on his ass, causing Lu Lizard to scream in pain, Lu Buwei turned his back and left with a sigh, leaving Lu Lizard stunned in place, looking at the back of his father leaving, thinking about the reason for the beating.

Zhao Qi has been really busy these days, he thinks he shouldn't be kind enough to save a passerby, now the road to Zhao's Mansion is full of doctors, Zhao Qi is a half-hanger, speaking of KitKat or some first-aid methods trained in later generations, as for the use of medicine, he didn't know anything, so he spent a lot of money to invite a few Langzhong, and opened a medical clinic next to Zhao's Mansion to give people free medical treatment, and Zhao Qi's reputation as a good person also spread.

Of course, these things naturally can't escape the eyes of King Qin and Queen Niangniang, this needs an explanation, Zhao Qi can be regarded as a minor nobleman, King Qin is too lazy to care, so he can only ask the queen Niangniang, and soon received the queen's decree and announced that Zhao Qi entered the palace.

Today, Zhao Qi got up early in the morning, and was called by Ling'er to wait for him to clean up and dress up just after dawn, and getting up so early in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve made Zhao Qi very dissatisfied, and the old man who hummed and chirped left his beloved bed for half a day.

Zhao Qi yawned again and again, but Ling'er was very energetic, and she cleaned up very seriously, first carefully helped the little young master clean his face, waited for him to rinse his mouth, and then tied his hair, and finally helped the little young master put on the gorgeous and cumbersome formal clothes for him.

Now Zhao Qi's life has gradually adapted to the life of the nobles of this era, as long as he can let people serve him, he will never do it himself, and fully enjoy the privileges brought to him by the ancient society, it is estimated that the nobles of the entire Xianyang will not wear formal clothes and he is the only one.

Zhao Qi yawned for a long time, stretched his waist, and then went out to greet Mrs. Wei, this is the rule of the big family, and the first thing the juniors do when they get up every day is to say hello to the elders.

Mrs. Wei has been happy every day since she moved into Zhao's mansion, her mouth has never been closed, she got up very early in the morning, originally Zhao Qi didn't plan to disturb the old lady this morning, who knew that the old lady knew that Zhao Qi was going out, and she also got up early to send him out. Old Madam Wei is now completely Zhao Qi is her own family, and even in the eyes of many people, Zhao Qi is more pro-son than her own son Bai Zhong.

The gate of the Zhao Mansion was opened, two servants stood on both sides of the gate, the carriage had already been prepared, and the groom leading the horse wore a fur coat and bowed in the cold wind and waited for the master's family to come out.

It was only sunrise, and the medical hall next to Zhao's Mansion was already full of people, and there was a long queue at the door. Seeing the battle at the gate of Zhao's mansion, they were all guessing where the little lord was going so early.

After going out, Zhao Qi said goodbye to the old lady who came out to see him off, pinched Xiao Ling'er's face dotingly, and then stepped into the carriage.

The horseman whipped up, the convoy set off slowly, and under the gaze of the surrounding passers-by, Hong Sanbao walked in front on horseback with his head held high and a proud face, as if he was the lord, which attracted a burst of big eyes from passers-by.

Zhao Qi originally planned to go on a horse, Changxing Town is not far from Xianyang City, you can get there by riding a horse for half an hour, and it will take more time to take the carriage, Zhao Qi looked at Ling'er who opened the curtain and looked at the snow outside the window, and beat his head, I don't know when he started, he was a little inseparable from this girl, and now if he didn't have Ling'er by his side, he couldn't move an inch, this can't be done, although he is now a literati, after all, he is still a martial artist in his bones, and he will definitely go to the battlefield in the future, and he can't bring a maid when he fights in the future, right?

After the snow in winter, the road is damp, and it will inevitably be potholes when it freezes, and it took half an hour to bump the convoy before stepping on the bluestone street of Xianyang, which is the first time Zhao Qi has a feeling of motion sickness in a carriage in this era.

At this time, Xianyang Street is already full of New Year's flavor, every household, or shop restaurant, or civilian house, has been hung with peach charms and red satin knots, the richer even hung lanterns made of silk, and even the girls in the drunken Xianglou are wearing red and bright clothes, looking even festive.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no couplet, which makes Zhao Qi not feel the atmosphere of sticking Spring Festival couplets, this is not possible, since the paper has been invented, it will be applied, Zhao Qi secretly figured out, this year from Zhao's mansion, the rules of the Spring Festival couplets do not have to wait until the fifth generation, the Great Qin people are too contemptuous of the poems, Zhao Qi feels that it is necessary to improve their cultural life.

After entering the palace, the carriage could not be sitting. The moment he got off the carriage, a gust of cold wind swept across his cheeks, blowing Zhao Qi shivering, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Qi reached out and took a piece of snowflake, which was as big as a thumb belly, watching it slowly melt in the palm of his hand, Zhao Qi sighed, this snow is hard to listen to!

Stepping into the snow-covered bluestone ground of the palace with her hands behind her back, Ling'er hurriedly followed, the servants didn't care, the palace guards would naturally arrange a place for them to rest. Zhao Qi walked quickly, without the slightest intention of staying, and walked straight to Mrs. Huayang's bedroom, young and unshy away, Zhao Qi also knew that there was not much time to enter and leave the harem casually.

Ying Zheng answered Zhao Qi in Yongdao early, which was also arranged by Huayang. When she saw Huayang, she was leaning on the soft couch reading a book, with this big brazier in front of her.

The first thing he did when he saw the queen was of course to say goodbye, Zhao Qi patted his shirt, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Boy Zhao Qi, I have seen the queen mother."

"You kid still know how to come? I haven't seen you come to the palace since the last time I went to Mengfu, isn't it because you don't treat me, an old woman, as an elder anymore? I haven't been coming to see it for two months, and if I hadn't called it today, you wouldn't have planned to come, would you? Mrs. Huayang began to reprimand Zhao Qi without raising her head.

Zhao Qi was sweating profusely, why did he suddenly become disloyal and unfilial? But this is also to blame that he usually likes to find things too much, this is not possible, the queen can not be offended, Zhao Qi lowered his head and arched his hand and said: "Niangniang don't want to torture the boy, the kid is thinking about Niangniang all the time, but he is suffering from a lot of affairs at home, and he has no chance, and he has no time when the New Year is approaching.

"Flim Flam." Huayang put down the book, sighed and said, "Get up." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Zhao Qi stood up and patted his knee, and then arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what Niangniang has to say about Xuan Boy's entry into the palace this time?" ”

After listening to Zhao Qi's question, Huayang looked at him with a smile and said, "Tell me about this palace, why is Zhao Immortal alive and dead?"
