Chapter 820: Follow-up
The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is next to the Jinming Pond before the first day of the first month of March, and there are many cars and horses all the way, and I don't know which luxury will be watching from the side, so the errand is also a little cautious, and does not dare to act arrogantly.
At first, he was blocked by the big rock, and he couldn't see the situation clearly, but when he got closer, he saw that the ground was full of scattered carriage wood, cloth, and horse corpses and minced meat, and he was already frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Whose family is this?" When a big stone falls, don't you know how to hide?! People have not been rescued?? ”
The steward of the Sun Mansion was busy for a long time, and he was sweating tiredly, and when he saw this person like a headless fly, he said angrily: "The living are lying in front, and the dead are also lying inside, you can see it with a pair of eyes!" What nonsense! ”
He was really a little angry, and couldn't help but stab: "No one knows about the big stone falling, hide one and show me!" ”
The clerk had no intention of pursuing his tone, and hurriedly walked forward, and saw that there were broken limbs and broken flesh all over the ground, and the ground was covered with flesh and blood, and there was a woman in the carriage, although the flesh and blood of the lower half of the body were blurred, but it could be hit from the waist, as if there was a concubine, and three healthy women were cleaning up the gravel and sawdust on her body.
"Is this person still angry?" The clerk only glanced at the woman's wound, and then he was afraid to look at it again, so he hurriedly turned his face to the outside, and asked the woman who was wiping her sweat.
The woman said, "I am still angry, but I have fainted." ”
Although her face was a little pale, she had been born and raised, and she was not so afraid when she saw flesh and blood, and she was quite calm when she looked back at this time.
The official was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he screamed: "The person has been injured like this, why is he still delayed here, why don't you hurry up and send him back to the capital for medical treatment!" Then he turned back and called out to the servants who were following him, "Go and find a shelf!" ”
In a hurry, the servants found some shelves, and it happened that the carriage was smashed to pieces, and there were still a few pieces of door panels and wooden planks that were not broken badly, so they went to move them.
When the officials saw this, although they were a little dissatisfied, they did not say much, and instructed the women: "Quickly lift the people up!" ”
He looked left and right, hoping to find someone to ask for a carriage to use.
He looked around before choosing a family, and turned his head to be dispatched, but saw that the women were all looking at each other, and none of them moved, and he was a little annoyed, and said: "Human life is at stake, why are you still stunned!" ”
Several women in this place are either from the Gu family or from the Sun family, and they have heard that they are in charge of the assignment, but now there is a person who doesn't know what to say about jumping here, and they don't know how to deal with it for a while, so they all look at the Gu family steward not far away.
The man in charge hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This poor master, these two people are too seriously injured to move......
The messenger was not very old, and he had encountered such a life-threatening disaster for the first time, and he was already panicked and confused, and there was no old man around him to help him make up his mind.
He was first squeezed by the steward of the Sun family, and now he saw that several women dared to embarrass him, and he was even more anxious and angry, one was really to save people, and the other was also a little for his own face, so he couldn't help but interrupt: "You also know that the two of them are seriously injured, if they don't move, how to treat the injury?!" Do you want them to let the blood drain?! ”
Pointing to the servant behind him, he said, "Don't lift people up to the shelf yet!" ”
There was a conflict here, and some idle people surrounded it.
Today's events, everyone saw it, and they knew that these two families were leading the way from beginning to end, and suddenly there was a culprit and an errand official, and there was no reason, so they wanted to command here, and there were boos everywhere.
Someone shouted from the front, "This man's bones are broken, and he can't move easily!" ”
The steward hurriedly stopped: "Sun Senzheng's family has already sent someone back to Jinmingchi to ask for a doctor, and I heard that the Taiyi Bureau sent a medical officer over......"
The messenger was not an official after all, and when he heard the words "Sun Participate in Politics" without a head, he didn't react for a while, and said with a frown: "What Sun Participates in Politics?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves behind him, and someone shouted from afar: "The doctor is here, give way ahead!" ”
The crowd followed the sound, and sure enough, several fast horses were galloping towards this side, and the one in front of them rode the fastest, and pulled the horse so that it almost rolled off the horse, and asked, "Where is the wounded?" ”
As soon as he landed, the rest of the people also dismounted and walked up together.
The people who came were all dressed in Taoist robes, carrying medicine boxes behind their backs, ranging in age from seventeen or eighteen to thirty, and looked like students of the Taiyi Bureau.
Although he is a student, he can be selected for the Taiyi Bureau, and he has some ability to think about it, so everyone hurriedly got out of the way, and pointed to the front and said, "It's there!" ”
The students hurriedly surrounded them, looked at the injuries, and did not dare to move, but only helped to stop the bleeding first, and then carefully cleaned the wounds again.
Not long after, two more horsemen came, but at the head was a small servant sent by the Sun family, followed by an old man with gray hair.
The old man, dressed in a green robe, looked fifty or sixty years old, and rode steadily on his horse, and when he reached the place, he followed the little man to the side of the wounded.
He didn't walk slowly, but he wasn't in a hurry, and he looked confident, which made people feel relieved at first sight.
"Is it a medical officer?" A bystander asked in a whisper.
"Didn't you see that you were wearing an official robe? I just don't know what position it is. ”
"Wearing a green robe, at such an old age, I'm afraid that there will be a seven-grade medical officer!"
"It doesn't matter if it's the seventh grade or the eighth grade, it's a ninth grade, if you can enter the Hanlin Academy as a medical officer, and if you want to come to the medical skill, these two people should be saved!"
"How can I save it? Unless the gods descend to earth, their legs are gone, and it is impossible to catch them again? How can the rest of my life be good! ”
"What is so good! It's better to die than to live, it's better than no life! ”
When the medical officer arrived, he first asked the students about the situation and then about the others, and then went to treat the wounded.
When the disposal was completed, he stood up and said, "In a hurry, it can only be like this, fortunately, I saved it quickly, and I didn't move people indiscriminately." At this time, the lives of these two people were temporarily saved, and they would be cushioned with thick mattresses, find a stable carriage, carefully send them back to the capital, and then slowly diagnose and treat. ”
Then he asked, "Which family is this?" Call the head of the family, I have something to say. ”
None of the people in this carriage, dead or wounded, could speak, and who would know?
For a moment everyone in the audience looked at the messenger.
The clerk stared at him for a long time, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he was dumbfounded, so he had to turn around and ask, "Who knows which house this is?" ”
***
The inventory was done quickly.
There were originally six people in the carriage, and looking at the shape and material of the carriage, it was like a large carriage rented by a carriage in the capital, and the horse's buttocks were originally branded, but they were so hard to recognize them by stones, so they had to give up.
Only one woman and the coachman survived, and both were paralyzed.
After all this effort, a patrol shop finally came, and the official in charge of the embankment was informed, and he ran down in a hurry.
Those who could be saved had already been saved, and once the wreckage of the carriage was cleared, half of the official road was opened.
Seeing that it was getting late at this time, Ji Qingling left the steward to deal with the official errand, and sent Sun Yunniang back to Sun's mansion first, and then returned home by herself.
Sun Yunniang has had heart disease since she was a child, and the whole house has been treated more delicately, this time she said that she was going out for spring, and the eldest sister-in-law Liu really couldn't spare time, so she sent someone to follow.
At this time, it was already past the hour, but the sister-in-law had not yet returned, Sun was busy for a while, suddenly remembered, and was a little worried, and was about to call someone to ask in the back room, when he heard a burst of voices outside, and Sun Yunniang followed into the door.
"I just came back, and I was sweaty, so I went back to the house and changed my clothes." She called Liu, saluted again, and said with a smile.
Sun Yunniang is three rounds younger than Sun Bian, even the daughter of Sun Bian and his wife is more than enough, although she is not very good, her temper is good, she is also considerate, and there are many younger siblings, only she is the sister of Sun Bian's relatives, Sun Ning was originally married to the daughter of Lao Beng Hanzhude, and both husband and wife favored her.
Liu Shi saw that her hair was simply tied with a hair rope, and there was still some moisture, obviously she had just washed it, and she couldn't be twisted to dry it out, so he said, "How much sweat did you sweat today?" If you come back so late, can't you wait until tomorrow to wash your hair? Beware of moisture soaking into the scalp and getting a headache at night. ”
Sun Yunniang grinned and said, "If you don't do it, you can bake it on the stove at night." ”
She took a sip of tea, looked left and right, and still didn't see Sun Bian, so she said, "Is the eldest brother going back late today?" ”
Liu nodded and said: "There are a lot of things in the court this time, he is on shift today, and he will stay in the palace, he should not come back, if you have anything to find, I will ask someone to send you a letter over." ”
Then he asked, "Is the road going well today?" Are all the flowers in Jinmingchi blooming? ”
Speaking of the day, Sun Yunniang's eyebrows danced, first smiled and praised a few words about how well the flowers of Jin Mingchi bloomed, and then praised a few words about rare and exotic beasts, and finally said: "Big brother has a lot of things, I don't bother him, I just went out today to use his name, Sister Ji asked me to talk to him...... Good sister-in-law, my eldest brother will come back in two days, you can help me talk to him! ”
Liu Shi heard it strangely and said, "If you use it, why do you want to talk to him specifically?" Did something happen this time? ”
Sun Yunniang learned what happened on the way back from Liu, and said tightly with her handkerchief: "I see Sister Ji doing things, she is not flustered and orderly, I really admire!" It's not like me, who just stands behind stupidly and waits......"
He also made a vow: "In the future, I will not be as good as my sister-in-law, and I should be on par with her!" ”
Liu Shi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Why did the big stone fall, who is in charge of that embankment!" You've not been hurt, have you? ”
Sun Yunniang shook her head again and again, and said, "Far ahead, I haven't even touched a broken stone." I don't know who is in charge, I heard that it was a carriage rented by several families that was smashed, and I thought it was to go out to sweep the grave, and there was incense paper money scattered in the carriage, and I don't know if it was true or not. ”
He said: "Thanks to Sister Ji today, she saved me last time." ”
Liu said: "That Ji family is from Yanzhou, at a young age, my father and mother are gone, and I don't have a brother to take care of him, so naturally I have to be in charge early, so it's not a good thing to be able to do this." You're not her, there's nothing to compare to, we just want you to live comfortably, don't learn from her. ”
Sun Yunniang didn't think so, but she didn't refute it, she only smiled and didn't mention it.
The two sisters-in-law said a few more words, but Liu was still not at ease, for fear that the sister-in-law would be frightened today, so she went to invite a familiar doctor to come over for a diagnosis.
In the evening, a big girl came to the Gu Mansion and sent some fresh fruits, saying that she was shocking Sun Yunniang, and brought a letter to Liu's family, which briefly explained what happened during the day, mentioning that because of the hurry, she had to use Sun Bian's name post, first thanks, and then apologized, between the lines, very sincere.
Finally, a list is attached, which is the name, origin, and official position of the three families invited by the two mothers-in-law today, and the Tao has already gone to explain to the three families, the name is borrowed, but it is the Gu Mansion that admits the affection, so that if they have something, they should not go to the Sun Mansion to bother.
The letter only had more than 100 words, the whole article did not quote scriptures, and the words were very frugal, so that people didn't even need to move their brains to read it, and Liu quickly finished reading it.
After she finished reading, she only felt that the handwriting on it was really clean and beautiful, and although there was no nonsense in the whole article, it did not make people feel sluggish at all, so she couldn't help but go back and read it again, before going to the list attached at the back.
At this time, the old lady who went to receive the thank you gift happened to come back, and said to Liu with a smile: "Then Gu Fu sent some black plums over, and sent a small box of sweet spring oranges to the ninth girl, and the ninth girl said that the sweet spring orange was not scum at all, so she sent a basket to the lady." ”
Liu said with a smile: "They only bought it a few days ago, and I thought the sweetness was a little light, so I only ate one." He pointed to a plate of sweet spring oranges on the table in the room, "Since Yun Niang likes to eat, send it to her, it's redundant to put it in my place." ”
The old lady smiled and said: "The taste is different, the ninth girl gave me one, and I don't know where the Gu family bought it, it is really different from this batch in our house." ”
As she spoke, she put the basket away, picked it up, peeled it for Liu, held it up with the orange peel and handed it over, and said, "Madam, take a bite." ”
Liu Shi only took a slice, who knew that as soon as he ate it, he immediately tasted different, and sure enough, this batch sent by Gu Fu tasted very good, and there was a unique fragrance of citrus in the sweetness.
She unconsciously ate one and said with a smile: "It's really different, I'll see you next time, remember to ask her where she bought the fruit from." ”
The old lady said: "This lady is acting beautifully, I didn't think about it, but when I think about it, our two families are already very close, and I can't remember that there are several levels behind the officials in that mansion on weekdays." ”
She spoke, but her eyes didn't stop, and when she saw that Liu had finished eating, she went to the side and came over with a copper basin.
Liu put the leftover peel in his hand on the plate on the side, washed his hands with the water in the copper basin, and said with a smile: "If you feel that you have traveled several levels, the two families will not move around like this today." ”
