Chapter XXIX

He Ruming glared at Chen Ke, and he had an indescribable unhappiness about this short-haired international student. Why did you get involved with him? He Ruming has such doubts. But I have to say that He Ruming is angry on the surface now, but he is actually quite weak-hearted.

Although He Ruming is a post-party, he is also a Western-style faction, and the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau is Li Hongzhang's former Beiyang lineage. Yuan Shikai's small station new army can be regarded as a post-Beiyang series. The exchange of personnel between the two factions is not small. Therefore, after He Ruming entered Beijing, he also deliberately contacted the officers of the new army in Beijing. When he heard the news that someone was infected, he naturally remembered Chen Ke. There are quite a few people who have been infected with the disease this year, not only those officers, but also a young man who is very important to He Ruming has also contracted this unfortunate disease. The young man's father, Lian Bicheng, was one of the key aids for He Ruming's entry into Beijing this time. The two families have already decided on a family affair, and they are about to be hired.

Knowing that this young man, who was basically already his son-in-law, was infected with this disease, He Ruming was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere. But anger is anger, and this salvation is still saved. He Ruming knew that Chen Ke's medicine was poisonous, so he also kept an extra eye and asked Chen Ke to treat other officers first. If there is no problem, then treat the young master of the Lian family. Healing is a good thing, but if healing becomes fatal, He Ruming can't afford it.

Even the family knows He Ruming's thoughts. They sent someone to see Chen Ke's treatment process throughout the process. After Chen Ke left, the family's doctor also stayed there to observe. The effect of the medicine was obvious, and after a night, the officers' health improved considerably. Lian's son had already been taken back to the house, and they had injected their son with medicine in the morning.

He Ruming didn't want Chen Ke to meddle in this matter, after all, even the family is a person with a head and a face, Chen Ke may not hear any rumors in the future, this kind of disease is really a shameful thing, and it is best for fewer people to know that this is the best. In addition, Lianjia was worried that something would go wrong, so he deliberately lowered the dosage for the first time, but after the injection, the problem soon occurred.

He Ruming called Chen Ke over at this time, and he also wanted to ask calmly. But after all, he was restless, if the young master of the Lian family really had a problem, He Ru......ming regretted it when he thought of such a result, and he should have let Chen Ke personally treat it at that time. But this self-reflection was soon replaced by a nameless fire. What kind of tiger and wolf medicine is Chen Ke doing! Ten officers didn't have an accident, why would something happen to the people of the family when it was their turn. He Ruming thought indignantly, where is Chen Ke's medical ethics? Is this the heart of a healer's parents?

However, this emotion is not as intense as Chen Ke sees. After seeing Chen Ke enter the living room, He Ruming really broke out. Chen Ke's appearance is actually quite fierce, tall, with a square face. But Chen Ke's eyes completely inherited his mother, they were a pair of big sparkling eyes, long eyelashes that couldn't fall off with a matchstick, and a little hanging eyelid with beautiful shapes, when these eyes looked at He Ruming calmly like water, He Ruming only felt that Chen Ke's eyes had an indescribable innocence and purity, which made his nameless fire burn doubly.

Why did Chen Ke look at himself with such a gaze, and he fell into such a dangerous juncture, didn't he believe Chen Ke? With Yan Fu's recommendation, coupled with Chen Ke's calmness and calmness when persuading the implementation of the honeycomb coal project, He Ruming gradually gained confidence in Chen Ke. And at this critical moment, Chen Ke pushed He Ruming to the cliff. Chen Ke, a quack, did not ask for money for medicine at that time, and He Ruming thought that Chen Ke was righteous enough. Looking at it now, it is simply quacks who deliberately leave a way back for themselves in order to evade responsibility. However, if someone dies over there, He Ruming will not let Chen Ke go no matter what.

Chen Ke naturally didn't know why He Ruming's anger was so intense. At this time, there was no time to justify, so he picked up the manuscript He Ruming arranged on the table and read it. He suddenly noticed a very subtle mistake, which may have been his own, writing that "the injection needs to be done slowly and carefully, and the patient's reaction should be observed at all times", but he did not indicate how slow it was. But there is no word "slowly" on this piece of paper, only the words "inject carefully".

Chen Ke asked, "Lord He, where is that manuscript?" ”

He Ruming took out the original manuscript with a snort, and Chen Ke checked it before asking, "Why didn't you slow these two words?" ”

After listening to Chen Ke's words, He Ruming leaned over and took a closer look, and sure enough, there were no two words. But He Ruming didn't think it had anything to do with this, but thought that Chen Ke was shirking responsibility, and he was even more angry. Before he could attack, Chen Ke had already stopped He Ruming, "Lord He, the most important thing now is to save people." How many injections do you give to your patients? ”

"I'm afraid that your medicine is poisonous, so we only used half of the dose." He Ruming said indignantly.

"That's a lot simpler. Quickly inject the patient with a large amount of saline. According to you, the dose of the injection is very small, and it should not cause death. ”

"How much?" He Ruming asked, it was because of a slight mistake that such a big thing happened, and He Ruming didn't dare not figure out Chen Ke's words anymore.

"Inject 300 ml first." Chen Ke said, and then explained the injection site in detail. Seeing He Ruming's dissatisfied look, Chen Ke asked for a pen and paper and wrote down what he had just said.

Up to now, He Ruming is not a person who doesn't know the severity, he watched Chen Ke write the solution with his own eyes this time, read it himself, and felt that there was no problem. Only then did the housekeeper take it to the patient's house.

The two sat and waited without saying a word, Bu Guanshui knew that now was not the time for him to speak, so he simply accompanied the two of them to be silent. After more than half an hour, the housekeeper ran back with joy, and as soon as he entered the living room, the housekeeper said, "My lord, it is really as written in the recipe, it has been stabilized." ”

The people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and He Ruming asked the housekeeper to carefully copy Chen Ke's treatment essentials, and he must not make a mistake. Only then did he turn his head. Looking at Chen Ke's rather innocent eyes, He Ruming didn't know what to say. Now apologizing to Chen Ke, he can't get his face down, but sits here embarrassed.

After all, Bu Guanshui is from an official family, and he has the ability to observe words and colors. Seeing this, he said, "Lord He, do you know about the autumn drills of the Beiyang Army. ”

He Ruming knew that the 20,000 Beiyang Army was now conducting autumn drills in Hejian. Hearing what Bu Guanshui said, he nodded, "I know about it." ”

"This Mr. Chen wants to write a parade song for the autumn exercises of the Beiyang Army, but he needs to play the piano. I couldn't find it at the moment. Bu Guanshui said very politely.

This damn Chen Wenqing! I really know how to find people. He Ruming scolded in his heart. But after thinking about it, if what Bu Guanshui said was right, this autumn exercise song can really be composed with his own piano, as long as it can be skillfully operated, it is not a bad thing for himself. If someone can beautify their faces, maybe their name can be heard by Yuan Shikai.

"I have a piano at home, if you don't dislike it, you can use it." He Ruming followed Bu Guanshui's words.

"That's so thankful. Can it be used now? ”

"This piano is in the women's room, please wait, I will ask the family to move the piano out."

The housekeeper took the two of them to the backyard, and it took a lot of effort to move the piano to the backyard. "Brother Wen Qing, why don't we also go and help?" Bu Guanshui is quite anxious now, and he can't wait to start immediately.

Chen Ke was quite surprised by this, he himself was never against labor, but Bu Guanshui actually took the initiative to ask to do manual work, which made Chen Ke a little impressed. He nodded.

Seeing that Chen Ke agreed, Bu Guanshui said to He Ruming: "Lord He, we will also go to help." ”

"Don't dare to do this, just let the people do it."

"It's all at this time, where can I manage so much." Bu Guanshui was anxious.

Seeing that Bu Guanshui was so anxious, He Ruming no longer stopped him. Joining two new forces, the piano soon moved into the living room. Chen Ke opened the lid and saw the book under the lid, but it was the last of his own books. Could it be that the young lady of that family also reads her own books? Chen Ke was a little puzzled. But I can't think about it that much at this time. Chen Ke's fingers slid over the keyboard, and the piano teaching was okay. He casually played a tune, but it was the opening song in the Gate of the Stone of Destiny.

It's a rather cool piece of music, and Chen Ke likes that kind of long-lasting style. The beautiful music echoed in the living room, and it really felt like it had crossed time and space. The pianist He Ruming's father bought it when he was alive, and He Ruming often listened to his sister and daughter play the piano, and to him, the piano sound was nothing more than that. But it was a surprise to see Chen Ke's fingers jumping on the long black and white keys in a very strange way, but this unaesthetic way was able to make the piano sound so beautiful.

After listening to it, He Ruming was certainly impressed by Chen Ke, but he was also a little puzzled, can such a cold and lonely song be used as a military parade song? He didn't believe it.

Chen Ke felt that the feeling had come up, and after returning to this era, his body had strengthened by leaps and bounds. Piano playing requires a high degree of finger speed, strength, and the ability to control force. Although the strengthening of one's body is not only invulnerable, but the change in this aspect is very significant. He also played Chopin's "Revolutionary Etudes", which Chen Ke had to prepare for a long time before he could play it, but now he really played it easily. The passionate and generous song made Chen Ke feel his blood boiling. Music has such a magic that there is no need to communicate, even Chen Ke does not know how Chopin felt after hearing about the uprising in Poland and then being suppressed. But the abundance of emotion in this piece can still make Chen Ke feel extremely high-spirited.

Just when Chen Ke was immersed in the joy of music, in the backyard, He Qian and He Ying sat at the door of the boudoir and quietly listened to the music coming from the living room. When Chen Ke finished playing, He Qian just shook his head slightly. He Ying turned around and picked up the embroidery. However, she did not continue her embroidery, the purpose of picking up this was just to be afraid that her mother would be angry when she came in and saw that she was not a female celebrity.

As soon as the door of the backyard opened, two little boys crept into the courtyard and looked into the living room. Soon, a fierce and majestic piece of music sounded. The two young ladies and the two young masters were taken aback. These four naturally don't know, Chen Ke is playing today's "main course" - "Hell March". After the first part was played, He Ying asked, "Auntie, this song sounds quite scary." ”

He Qian didn't answer, this was the first time she heard such a tune, and she was equally shocked. She had already asked that it was Chen Ke who wanted to use the piano from the last time that her brother He Ruming had said. Listening to Chen Ke play three pieces of music in a row, the style is completely different, and the skillful performance makes He Qian want to see how Chen Ke plays. However, in the era, girls are not allowed to show their heads without the permission of their parents. When He Qian followed the old man, although he was also treated as a boy, there was a limit to this. Without the permission of the old man, He Qian could not take the initiative to meet strangers. Now with her brother He Ruming, He Qian can't be as free as she was with her father.

Chen Keyou began to play, and this time it became a paragraph, but he didn't know what was going on. No matter how good the piece is, playing it like this will make people lose interest. Not to mention that He Qian actually doesn't like this kind of domineering style of music.

It didn't take long for He Ruming to return to the backyard. first drove the two sons back to the house to study, and then He Ruming returned to his house. After a while, He Ruming came out. He Qian knew that her sister-in-law was not a knowledgeable woman, and if there was any benefit, it was to abide by women's morals. Brother He Ruming actually doesn't discuss things with his sister-in-law much. If there is any big thing, you still have to talk to yourself. Sure enough, He Ruming entered the house and called He Qian to go to the main house together. He Qian noticed that her brother had a special look at He Ying, and his expression was full of apology.

What the hell is going on? He Qian was a little puzzled.

entered the main house with his brother, and He Ruming told what had happened. Hearing that the bastard son of the Lian family was sick, He Qian's brows furrowed, and she had the urge to spit. What was going on with the big brother Fang Cai's eyes, He Qian finally understood. After He Ruming finished talking. Just sighed. He Qian knew what her brother was worried about. She thought for a moment, already having an idea. "Big brother, even the family is a person with a head and a face. Their son made such a fuss, and since the eldest brother introduced this Chen Ke to cure them. I think even the family is afraid that they will not have the face to mention this family affair again. ”

He Ruming nodded, but did not speak.

Seeing her eldest brother like this, He Qianxiu frowned slightly, and she said tentatively: "Big brother, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry the Lian family, and the Lian family will make things difficult for you in the future?" ”

was said to have hit the heart, He Ruming's face turned red.

He Qian's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, "Big brother, there is always a truth." Our daughter is not a golden branch and a jade leaf, but also a pampered person, why should the people of the Lian family be ruined? You love He Ying so much, why did you get to your official position, you are different? ”

"I definitely won't let Ying'er marry the unfilial son of the Lian family. This is by no means negotiable. Just ......"

He Qian glared at the eldest brother with a gaze that hated iron but not steel. He Ying's background is also somewhat secret. He Ruming's current wife is not He Ying's biological mother, but Xu Xian. When He Ying was born, because of dystocia, the mother and son only kept the child. According to the customs of Tianjin, this kind of child is called a gram parent, and it is to be given to others. But He Ruming refused to give away his daughter, he just married Xu Xian quickly, and didn't let the people in the family mention it. He Ying always thought that her stepmother was her biological mother.

is not her own biological daughter, this stepmother naturally does not treat He Ying too closely. As a result, He Qian, as an aunt, has a very good relationship with her niece who is two years younger than herself. He Qian heard Old Man He occasionally complain in private, whether it was knowledge or appearance, or how he treated people, and the old man thought that the first eldest daughter-in-law was better than the second daughter-in-law and went out a few streets. But He Ruming took a child who was considered to be a "Ke parent", and he still married Xu Xian, and that kind of good family was naturally hopeless.

As a woman, He Qian appreciates her brother's approach very much. She didn't expect that He Ruming, who had paid such a big price for her daughter, would have such an attitude of gain and loss when she encountered an official position. He Qian knew that it was not easy for her brother, and after the collapse of Tianjin manufacturing, He Ruming's career was completely cut off. It was so difficult to find the errand again, and He Ruming was also up and down. Because this thing has no future, he will naturally not be happy.

"Brother, I'm going to say something that I don't like. Don't be angry. ”

"Say."

"Look at Chen Ke in the living room, he is only twenty-five years old. But listening to what you just said, he can find his way and find a relationship anytime and anywhere. Even a fifth-grade official like you asked to come to his door. Why do you think this is? ”

He Ruming had never looked at Chen Ke from such an angle, and after thinking for a moment, He Ruming said: "He is an international student, and you also know that international students have been living a good life all these years. ”

After listening to He Ruming's words, He Qian was quite disappointed, her brother didn't understand this problem until now, and his eldest brother was not like this before. Could it be that after the Year of Gengzi, the backbone of the eldest brother has been exhausted? He Qian held back her dissatisfaction and continued softly: "I think that Chen Ke never asks for help. ”

"He doesn't ask for help, and he still asks me to cooperate with honeycomb coal?" He Ruming sneered. Hearing his sister praise Chen Ke, he immediately became angry.

"Rotten wood cannot be carved!" He Qian said secretly. But he couldn't say this clearly, He Qian still tried to wake up his eldest brother, "He asked for the door of the eldest brother, isn't it that the eldest brother has what Chen Ke wants?" ”

"Hmm." Hearing this, He Ruming felt much more relieved.

"As long as you have your own strengths, big brother, and others want to get things done, they naturally want to find you, big brother. This Chen Ke made medicine, composed music, and wrote books, and he thought that he did it himself. A young man is still like this, big brother, you were also a well-known figure in the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau back then, there are so many old acquaintances, why do you have to care about a family? If you owe the family a favor, you will pay them back in the future. Why did He Ying have to suffer this? ”
