Chapter 24: Saving Lives
As soon as Zhao Gao returned to the house, he saw that his mother was already sitting in the house waiting for him, and the old lady saw that Zhao Gao was back, so she said: "Today, the fourth lady has come to the gate of the house, have you seen it?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Gao nodded, didn't say much, but was still very clear in his heart.
"Why don't you take advantage of such a great opportunity?" The old lady looked at Zhao Gao's indifferent expression, and she was angry in her heart, angry that this son had always listened to his own words.
"Mother, I don't like her." Zhao Gao looked at his mother, what his mother was thinking in her heart, Zhao Gao knew it at a glance.
"And who do you like?" When the old lady heard Zhao Gao's words, she was angry, what is the use of liking, can you help him become an official and become a knight?
"Mother, I repeat, don't approach Lis, there are some consequences that we can't afford." Zhao Gao really had a headache for his mother, so he could only say to his mother seriously again: "What's more, I am good friends with Meng Tian, Li Si and Meng Tian are mortal enemies, do you think Li Si will really help us?" ”
"Meng Tian, Meng Tian, so what? You've been friends with him for many years, why haven't you seen him get you an official position? When the old lady heard Zhao Gao's words, she became even more angry, and said angrily: "If you marry the fourth lady and become the prime minister's fast son-in-law, aren't you afraid that the prime minister won't help you?" ”
"Mother, if this is really the case, then how am I different from those traitorous villains? What have I been doing all these years? Zhao Gao said to the old lady expressionlessly: "How could I marry a woman I don't like in order to become an official and become a knight, my mother has been for so many years, why can't you understand me?" Why can't you support me? ”
"No, no, I will never allow Zhao Gao to fall into my hands." The old lady heard Zhao Gao's words, looked at Zhao Gao with wide eyes and said, "Otherwise, I will be ashamed of the ancestors of the Zhao family if I die." ”
"Mother, when my father was alive, I was honest all my life, how could I have flattered people, but what happened to me? In today's troubled times, being an official may not be able to glorify the ancestors, like us now, why not worry about food and clothing, and live without worrying about me? Isn't that what my father thought in his life? Why does my mother cling to this? Zhao Gao and his mother's concept is different, although he was young at the time, but Zhao Gao vaguely remembered that his father at that time was an honest official, not pulling the party for personal gain, although the life was poor, but very happy, happy.
"......" listened to Zhao Gao's words, the old lady was silent, and her eyes were similar to tears, Zhao Gao saw this, meaning that he seemed to speak heavier, and just wanted to comfort his mother, but saw his mother stand up and said: "Don't say more, you have to marry these four young ladies, and if you don't marry, you have to marry." With that, the old lady left.
Zhao Gao looked at the back of the old lady, was silent, his eyes darkened, and after a while, Zhao Gao stood up silently, and then kicked over the chair, grabbed his hair fiercely, gritted his teeth, and was crazy and restless, and his mouth roared from time to time.
The little guy on the side was too frightened to make a sound, he had never seen Zhao Gao have such a big temper, Zhao Gao was restless for a while, and gradually calmed down, looking at the mess in the place, Zhao Gao was silent for a while, and then said to the little guy very calmly: "Tidy up here." ”
As if nothing had happened, Zhao Gao left without looking back after speaking, and the little guy on the side immediately replied, "Yes, Childe." ”
After Zhao Gao left, the little guy cleaned everything very quickly, and the furniture was replaced with a new one, how can I see what happened just now, everything is exactly the same as the original, but some things have changed in the end, and it is not to find an exact one that can be restored.
Since Zhao Gao quarreled with his mother, the days have passed day by day, but Zhao Gao has not gone to Loei so diligently, and everyone in Loei is also seriously learning the craft, and the fourth lady has not gone to Zhao Gao again because of the banquet in the palace, and everything seems to have returned to the beginning.
On this day, Li Jiang and Mu Qi went out to purchase, the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, people came and went, the vendors shouted, it was not lively, Li Jiang looked at all kinds of small items, and was very happy in his heart, and Mu Qi was responsible for receiving things on the side.
Just as Li Jiang was happily shopping, a figure accidentally bumped into Li Jiang's body, and before Li Jiang could react, the man fell into Li Jiang's arms, Li Jiang was immediately anxious, and hurriedly called Mu Qi to help, Mu Qi quickly put down the things in his hand and stepped forward to ask, "Senior sister, what's wrong?" ”
"Look, what's wrong with her?" A person suddenly fainted in his arms, Li Jiang was also blindsided for a while, and asked anxiously.
Mu Qi saw that the person in Li Jiang's arms was a woman, although her clothes were ragged and her hair was a little messy, she still looked good-looking, she was a gentle woman, Mu Qi looked at it for a while and said, "She just fainted." ”
"What should I do?" Li Jiang listened to Mu Qi's words, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said to Mu Qi: "Mu Qi, you take this girl back to Loei Mansion first, and we will find a doctor to show her." ”
"Senior sister, how can this be?" Listening to Li Jiang's words, Mu Qi hurriedly said: "Men and women don't kiss, how can I hug her." ”
"Why do you care so much now? If you don't carry her back, and I can't hold her, do you want to leave her fainting on the street? Li Jiang looked at Mu Qi with a roll of his eyes and said.
"This ......," Murch hesitated.
"What is this, hold on." Li Jiang saw Mu Qi hesitating, so he directly pushed the person into Mu Qi's arms, and then ran to pick up the things that Mu Qi put on the ground and said, "Hurry up, go home." ”
Mu Qi saw that the person was already in his arms, and he didn't care so much, picked up the woman in his arms, followed Li Jiang's footsteps and drove out of Li Fu, fortunately Li Jiang and Mu Qi did not go far away, and soon returned to Loei, Li Jiang knocked on the door of Loei and shouted loudly: "Open the door, hurry up." ”
As soon as Qishan opened the door, he saw Li Jiang rushing in, and Mu Qi followed closely behind him, holding a person in his arms, Qishan asked with a confused face: "What's wrong?" Who is this man? ”
"Don't ask so much first, Qishan, hurry up and ask for a doctor." Li Jiang was also anxious, and without any extra explanation, he said to Qishan.
"Okay, senior sister, I'll go right away." Qishan looked at Li Jiang who was anxious, and didn't dare to make a mistake, so he immediately ran away.
The movement at the door attracted everyone's attention, Takagi, Shi Ming and Xiaobu all walked out, looking at the woman in Mu Qi's arms, all of them were confused, Li Jiang asked Mu Qi to carry the person to the guest room, Mu Qi carefully put the person on the bed, and then the people who followed Takagi saw this and asked in a low voice: "What is the situation?" ”
"Fainted in my arms on the way." Li Jiang replied with a sigh of relief when he saw the woman lying on the bed.
"Picked it up on the road?" Shi Ming looked at the woman with a dirty face and asked curiously.
"Sort of, she fainted in my arms, it's hard to let it go." Li Jiang said.
"Senior sister, you have such a good heart." Shi Ming said, in this troubled world, who would be nosy, let alone a person of unknown origin.
Mu Qi didn't speak since he came, but he didn't look at the person on the bed a few times, and soon Qishan pulled the doctor in, Qishan was worthy of being anxious, looking out, he was pulling the doctor all the way back, the doctor entered the room, gasping for breath, Shi Ming saw this, took a cup of tea and handed it to the doctor.
The doctor didn't say a word, took the tea and drank it all, gasped for several breaths before relieving himself, pointed to Qishan and said, "My half life is about to be folded in your hands." ”
"Doctor, I'm sorry, he's so impatient, don't blame you." Shi Ming reassured.
"Forget it, I don't care about you, where are the people?" The doctor is not a stingy person either, and asks directly to the topic.
"Doctor, here." Li Jiang hurriedly took the doctor to the bed.
The doctor sat on the edge of the bed, taking his pulse, and only stood up after a while, Li Jiang saw that the pulse was over, and immediately asked with concern: "Doctor, how is she?" ”
"It's fine." The doctor stood up and walked to the desk, took out a pen and ink to write down the prescription, and then said to Li Jiang: "She is hungry, and she has a little cold, I have prescribed a prescription, you can catch her and give it to her, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
Li Jiang took the prescription and thanked the doctor: "Thank you, doctor, this is the consultation fee, you can take it." ”
"Then I'll take my leave." The doctor looked at Li Jiang and said.
"Shi Ming, you send the doctor." Li Jiang said to Shi Ming, Shi Ming was stable, and Li Jiang was more relieved.
"Doctor, please come here." Shi Ming naturally knew what Li Jiang meant, so he politely invited the doctor out.
Gao Mu and the others stayed in the room for a while, and saw that there was nothing to do, so they went out, Mu Qi didn't forget to look at the woman before leaving, Li Jiang saw that everyone was gone, so he took out his clean clothes and changed them for the woman on the bed, and there was hot water to clean her up, Li Jiang looked at the clean girl on the bed, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, revealing the feeling of a small jasper.
Li Jiang thought about it, so he went to the kitchen to prepare some porridge, and when the woman woke up, she could eat, and after Shi Ming sent the doctor out of the house, he went to grab the medicine, and when he returned to the house, Mu Qi took the initiative to take the medicine and said, "Give it to me." ”
Looking at Mu Qi who was so active, Shi Ming had an inquiring look on his face, Mu Qi didn't say anything, picked up the medicine and went to the kitchen to decoct the medicine.
Qishan looked at Mu Qi's move and asked curiously, "Why is Mu Qi so positive?" ”
"Think about it yourself." Shi Ming didn't say much, and left with a smile on his face.
"Hey, hey~" Qishan was even more confused, and followed Shi Ming and said, "You wait for me, I know I will still ask you?" ”
Seeing Shi Ming and Qishan leave, Gao Mu and Xiaobu didn't stay any longer, and went back to do what they had at hand.
And Li Jiang and Mu Qi, one boiled porridge, the other decoction, Li Lao looked at the two people who were busy in the kitchen, and didn't say anything, from the time Mu Qi returned to the house with the woman, Li Lao knew, but he just watched quietly on the side, watching his daughter be able to take charge alone, Li Lao was very pleased, Li Lao looked at Li Jiang for a while, then turned around and left, as if nothing had happened.
