Lai Entai heard that the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang seemed to be interested in Ye Zhiqing, and thinking of Zhou Hong's entrustment, he actually followed the letter from Ye Zhiqing who had just sent away, and he himself sent a fast letter to Mingzhou and told Zhou Hong about Liu Song. [Full text reading. 】

Zhou Hong has been eating and living on the ship recently, and the letter sent to Ye Zhiqing was sent by the way when the warship docked for supplies.

The closer we get to the end of each year, the more we can't relax, for fear that the Japanese will attack and plunder by boat. The vast coastline of the Great Wei Dynasty ranged from Penglai Island to Jiaozhou Bay, Chongming Island to Zhoushan Island, and from Mingzhou, Taizhou to Quanzhou, and other places, with garrisons everywhere.

The Southeast Navy led by Zhou Zhen was stationed in the base camp of Mingzhou, but every year when the sea was flooded, Zhou Hong had to lead the army to patrol the sea, and he would go for two or three months.

The letter sent by Lai Entai was a few days late, just in time for Zhou Hong to return to Mingzhou to rest, and the young man who delivered the letter went directly to the water camp and delivered the letter to Zhou Hong by hand, while Ye Zhiqing's letter set off a few days ago, but it was delivered to Zhou Zhen by mistake.

Zhou Hong received a letter from Lai Entai, and saw that the deputy gang leader of the Yangzhou rudder written above seemed to be interested in Ye Zhiqing, and he muttered in his heart several times under the pretext that he felt that this name was a little familiar.

Since Ye Zhiqing settled in Yangzhou, Song Kui followed her again, Zhou Hong has actually received a lot of letters about Ye Zhiqing from Entai, writing about how she lived in Yangzhou, and she has dealings with Mrs. Fujun, and the ladies and girls in the city have sent silver to her shop, and she has gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou City.

Zhou Hong has a joy in his heart that can't be declared, similar to "I really didn't look away, she is a capable little girl" and other emotions, and then thought of the things she did alone, and there was a kind of regret that she couldn't bring her to her side.

Therefore, although I know her movements well, there is always a kind of dissatisfaction with seeing flowers and boots in the fog, and I can't talk to her in person, and I don't feel lost. Because of this, when the sailors on the ship had symptoms of discomfort, he had an idea and found an excuse to write a letter.

Since she has a hand in conditioning her body, these little problems can't bother her.

Zhou has been in charge of the navy for decades, patrolling for more than two months a year, and the officers and men on the ship will always have various symptoms of discomfort, which are exactly those symptoms that Zhou Hong wrote to Ye Zhiqing. The military doctor is very good at dealing with knife sores and arrow wounds, fractures and skin cracks, but he is helpless against this problem in a large area, and can only be attributed to the unsuitability at sea.

Strangely, these problems will get better after a month on land.

Therefore, every year when the Southeast Water Barracks patrols the sea, it changes its guard every month, and a new group of people get on board.

Zhou Hong returned to the army to change his guard, and when he saw the letter from Lai Entai in the barracks, he was in a bad mood. Zhou Hao probed his brain and looked over, secretly surprised by the speed at which the young general changed his face. Last month, Zhou Hong did not get off the ship, only changed a group of sergeants, and as Zhou Hong's personal guards, they naturally could only eat and live on the ship, recently he had a little bruise, and his gums were also red and swollen and bleeding, thinking about returning to Mingzhou to have a big meal.

However, the premise is that you have to follow Zhou Hong to see Zhou Zhen and report the military situation along the way, so that you can rest.

"Major General, the general is waiting."

Zhou Hong didn't even raise his head: "Why don't you roll over and remove my armor?" ”

Zhou Hao pulled out Wei Yang behind him with his hand and kicked him in the ass: "Don't get in and unload the armor of the young general!" "The words of the great general have already arrived, and the young general seems to be in a bad mood, so he should hide as far as he can.

Zhou Hong finished removing his armor, changed into civilian clothes, washed and trimmed his face, shaved all the beards on his face, and cleaned up before going to the commander's barracks.

Zhou Zhen seemed to be very busy, and a row of military doctors were waiting at the door of his room to greet him, and when he saw Zhou Hong, he greeted him: "The young general has changed his guard and returned to the camp?" Did it go well this time? ”

Zhou Hong greeted them, and the soldier at the door said: "The general said that the young general is here and just go in directly, and there is no need to report." ”

He raised his leg and went in, Zhou Zhen was discussing something with Lian Hui, the old military doctor in the camp, and when he saw him, General Zhou happily raised a piece of letterhead: "Hong'er, come quickly, your friend's letter is really timely, I am discussing with Lian Military Doctor to see if it has any effect." ”

Zhou Hong also felt strange: "Where is my friend?" ”

Zhou Zhen didn't care: "It seems to have been sent from Yangzhou." ”

Zhou Hong suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and stepped over with an arrow step, almost "grabbing" the letter paper from Zhou Zhen's hand, looking down and only feeling a "buzz" in his head, his whole face was a little hot, as if the big secret he was hiding was spied by Zhou Zhen.

"How did this letter end up in my father's hand?"

Zhou Zhen also smiled with Lian Hui: "Look at this kid, I don't know where to meet friends, but he has real skills, but he doesn't write well, his muscles and bones are weak, and he needs to practice again." ”

"Father...... Father, how can you open my letter privately? ”

Zhou Hong stammered when he spoke, and for the first time in his life, he was embarrassed beyond words, he looked down, Ye Zhiqing wrote: "Young General Zhou, seeing words is like meeting!" Yangzhou has not seen you for a long time, and I received a letter from the major general, asking about the illness of the soldiers in the army, I know a little about it, and I would like to inform you. This disease has a scientific name, called scurvy, and it is more common in crew members who have been at sea for a long time. ”

She later explained in detail why this symptom is easy to occur after long-term sailing at sea, and how to deal with the solution to this disease.

Zhou Hong was glad that Ye Zhiqing had no extra words in the letter, and only wished him well at the end of the letter, and did not say anything more, and could not let people see any ambiguous words because of this letter. But on the other hand, he was a little distracted, thinking about whether she had something to do with the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang, and he couldn't wait to see her state of mind at that time when she was writing the letter through the letter.

Zhou Zhen privately opened his son's letter, and there was a reason for the incident: "This is not a letter sent by someone from Entai, the guy went to the barracks to inquire, saying that you went to sea with the ship, so he sent the letter to the house." Just as I was returning home, the man who delivered the letter said that Enlai Entai had explained that this letter was very important, so I thought about what urgent matter it was, since you were not there, it would be the same for my father to deal with it for you, so I opened the letter. I didn't expect it to be an urgent matter, where did you meet a friend, and you actually solved a big problem for us! I don't know if he has any important things to do, so why don't you invite him to our camp and consult with your Uncle Lian? ”

Zhou Hong felt strange when he thought of inviting Ye Zhiqing to the barracks. Since the establishment of the Southeast Water Barracks, no woman has ever served in the camp, except for the convicts who were assigned to do some pulping and washing work.

When he saw his son's strange face, he said curiously, "Is this friend of yours unsightly?" ”

Zhou Hong: "...... She must be busy and doesn't have time to come over. ”

He really wanted to give his parents a chance to see her, but thinking about her whimsical ideas, which were completely different from many women in the boudoir of Dawei, I was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would have a headache when she heard it, and she might not be willing to see his parents.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhen was a little disappointed: "Since he can't come, then forget it!" He knew his eldest son very well, and he was dedicated to his country, and if this friend had really been able to come to the water camp conveniently, he would have invited someone over a long time ago, instead of writing a letter to ask. Judging from the reply, he also wrote to ask for advice, and the other party did not hesitate to give advice, which is already very rare.

Lian Hui was even more disappointed than Zhou Zhen: "I thought I could meet Mr. Ye and ask him for advice in person, but yesterday I was looking forward to the young general returning to the camp as soon as possible." "The old man has been in the Southeast Water Military Camp all his life, and now many of the military doctors in the camp have been taught by him, including Lai Entai, who went to Yangzhou, and has studied under him.

He saw this letter from Zhou Zhen's hand yesterday, pondered it all night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he couldn't sleep with excitement. Early in the morning, all the military doctors of the Mingzhou battalion were summoned to the Chinese military tent and stood guard in front of Zhou Zhenmen.

Zhou Zhen came to the barracks in the morning and was frightened by his posture, and when he asked, he realized that the letter written by Zhou Hong's friend was really reasonable. Zhou Zhen opened Ye Zhiqing's letter, and only read it cursoly, he has a lot of research in the art of war and fighting, but he is blind in medicine. Lian Hui didn't care that he was facing a medical blindness, and he was still interested in studying the causes of scurvy and the countermeasures mentioned in Ye Zhiqing's letter.

“…… It is what this gentleman said that the soldiers lacked certain substances in their bodies, so they caused various chronic diseases, although they did not kill them, but they were also very troublesome after a long time. It just so happened that the major general came back from this change of guard, so he tested the people around him, changed his diet according to this Mr. Ye's method, supplemented nutrition, and saw if the symptoms were relieved very quickly. ”

Ye Zhiqing only signed Ye at the end of the letter, neither knowing the surname nor the name, Lian Hui is modest, the other party is pointing, and the medical knowledge is better than him, so he can be called "Mr".

Zhou Hong's face became more and more strange. If Zhou Zhen mistakenly opened his letter without knowing Ye Zhiqing, it was just an ordinary letter between him and his friends, for the sake of the soldiers in the camp, he wanted to invite Ye Zhiqing to serve in the camp, but Lian Hui's actions were even more unexpected, the old man actually called Ye Zhiqing Mr. Ye.

He couldn't imagine Ye Zhiqing's reaction when he heard that he was called "sir" by the old military doctor in the camp, but he found it interesting to think about it. He really wanted to go back and write a reply to Ye Zhiqing now. originally received a letter from Lai Entai, and Ye Zhiqing didn't want to deal with him, but she didn't expect her to reply to him seriously, and really solved a big problem for him, even if there was not a word in the letter that caused people to reverie, it was like building a ladder between the two people, and he could legitimately communicate with her.

"Since Ye ...... It was written in the gentleman's letter, and I don't know if this method works. However, as far as I know, her medical skills seem to be good, but she never takes the pulse of a doctor on weekdays, and I heard her say that she doesn't know how to take the pulse, and only relies on face-to-face and manual diagnosis, as well as prescriptions for various symptoms of the body. And most of the prescriptions she prescribes are dietary therapy, and she is quite good at physical care. ”

Lian Hui suddenly realized: "What the young general said is right, there is nothing wrong with some minor illnesses, and the predecessors and sages have also left many dietary prescriptions. Seeing a doctor is not only a way to take the pulse, look and hear and ask, look and hear and ask first, but cut the pulse last. Since the friend of the major general can judge the disease just by looking and hearing it, it doesn't matter whether he will cut the pulse or not. ”

He already thought in his heart that Ye Zhiqing was extremely accomplished in medicine, and he could assert this disease with just a letter from Zhou Hong, and he really wanted to see him, so even if she didn't know how to take the pulse, it was nothing in his eyes.

Zhou Hong couldn't cry or laugh at what was in front of him, and after reporting to Zhou Zhenyu about the patrol on the coastline, he only collided with a small group of pirates near Penglai Island, and when he encountered the big ship of the naval camp, he was only captured.

When the affairs in the camp were over, Zhou Zhen said: "Your mother has been worried about you for many days, since you are back, you will go home with your father to eat tonight, let her see that you are intact, and reassure her heart." ”

Zhou Hong sometimes came back from changing guards, and would eat and stay in the camp with his fellow soldiers for two days, and then prepare to go home when he was done. Today, the father and son rode home, and on the way, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but ask the person who wrote the letter: "Your friend Mr. Ye, can't you really invite him to serve in the army?" ”

Zhou Zhenrong has been a horse for half his life, but as long as the available materials are available, he can't wait to be called into the army to protect the mountains and rivers, which is completely an occupational disease.

"Father, she's not coming."

"Could it be that he has some misunderstanding about the Southeast Water Army? Why haven't you ever heard of such a person before? ”

Zhou Hongdu was almost defeated by Zhou Zhen's search for the roots, so he could only tell him indifferently: "She was met halfway to the capital by the child's trip to the capital this time...... Friend, now settled in Yangzhou City, if she was willing to come, the child would have invited someone a long time ago. "But I don't want to.

He was followed by Zhou Haowei Yang and others, before Zhou Hong went in to report on military affairs, they were guarding outside, and they had never seen Lian Hui's admiration for Ye Zhiqing, and now they heard what the general called "Mr. Ye", and Zhou Hong said that it was "a friend I met halfway to the capital", who else besides Ye Zhiqing.

Several people looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on, but they actually taught the general to mention Ye Zhiqing and couldn't hide their appreciation.

Zhou Hong accompanied Mrs. Zhou to finish eating, dealt with Zhou Qi's crooked entanglement, and mentioned that when he came back from patrolling, he never had the opportunity to go to Xiapu, where his second brother Zhou Bin was stationed, and was nagged by Mrs. Zhou for a quarter of an hour before letting him go back to the room.

Zhou Hao and the others couldn't wait for a long time, and after sending the maid who was waiting in the mansion away, they scrambled to ask: "Young General, who is Mr. Ye?" ”

Why can't you call the leaf sir, right?

Zhou Hong had a faint smile on his face, clenched his fists to his lips and coughed: "This matter is a long story, my father and Uncle Lian still don't know that Ye Zi is a woman, but when she is a man with excellent medical skills, and she has solved the problems that have plagued the army for a long time, my father and Uncle Lian call her Mr." His gaze swept over the faces of his four personal guards: "If any of you leak the news and let your father and Uncle Lian know that Mr. Ye is a little girl, don't follow me, go to be a horseman!" ”

Zhou Hao: "...... Major General, is this appropriate? ”

Wei Yang was overjoyed: "My subordinates have long said that Ye Zi is very capable, if I let the general know Ye Zi's ability, maybe I will agree to her as a daughter-in-law as soon as I am happy!" He was just an unintentional word, but his eyes lit up in Zhou Hong's ears, and he looked at him thoughtfully.

"Could it be...... Am I wrong? Wei Yang scratched his head: "I think...... Ye Zi is much more capable than those thousand gold xiǎo jiě! ”

"What do you mean...... That's right. ”

Zhou Hong spoke slowly, to his confidants, and to himself.

Ye Zhiqing did not know about her letter asking the Southeast Water Military Camp to reformulate the recipes for sea voyages and popularize the new health regulations.

She had a very good life in Yangzhou, except for ...... Guo Jia appeared in front of her from time to time, looking like a debt collector.

"Guo Gongzi, seeing that the New Year is approaching, won't you go back to Mingzhou for the New Year?" It's okay, don't hang around in front of her.

Guo Jia observed carefully for a long time, and found that Ye Zhiqing, a woman, really didn't have any repentance, and she was very tired of seeing him, and seemed to treat him as a dog-legged minion of Xiao Ye, the king of Huaiyang. But as a shrewd businessman, he found a business opportunity from Ye Zhiqing.

Her medicinal food shop is running well, different from ordinary restaurants and restaurants, and according to the estimation of the people he sent out, the income should be quite a lot.

Since Guo Jia sent someone to watch Ye Zhiqing's every move, he found that Liu Song often pretended to meet her by chance and met her on the road.

Song Kui didn't know what was going on, but Guo Jia had interrogated Liu Song in Jingzhao Yamen with the King of Huaiyang, if it weren't for his wife being killed by the people of the Huaiyang Palace, he would have been exiled by the cane.

I don't know if this kid is lucky, or if he has some ability, he quickly got into the position of the deputy leader of the Cao Gang.

Gao Baitai was stabbed to death that day, a little far away, and it was not real, but when he really met Liu Song, Guo Jia instantly confirmed that he did not recognize the wrong person.

At that time, Liu Song said that he and Ye Zhiqing were unmarried couple, and Ye Zhiqing refuted in the court, which made Xiao Ye think, but he didn't expect to go around in a big circle, and the two got together.

Every time Guo Jia sees Ye Zhiqing now, it is like seeing a woman who is running amorous with people. For this reason, he also specially sent someone to inquire about Ye Zhiqing's affairs after she came to Yangzhou, and found that she had no relationship with Liu Song before Gao Baitai's death, which made his speculation fall through. It's just that what shocked him even more was that he didn't expect Ye Zhiqing to be bold enough to offend a pharmacist in Yangzhou City.

What the hell is this woman trying to do?

ran away from the palace and ran out of the palace, fought alone in Yangzhou, and actually opened up the situation, even if it was him
