Shao Heng was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Xia Jin with round eyes, with disbelief in his eyes.

Xia Jin was inexplicably looked at by him: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"You...... Where did you learn martial arts? The shock in Shao Heng's heart was no less than hearing that the emperor had sent someone to monitor them.

"I learned it from my master." Xia Jin told this lie a hundred times, and he believed it a little, "It's the master surnamed Shao who taught me medical skills." ”

"Strange people!" Old Lady Shao sighed with emotion, and glanced at Xia Jin kindly, "It's also because this child is good enough that people can take a fancy to her and teach her all her skills." ”

Shao Hengding nodded approvingly.

Although he and Old Lady Shao didn't feel that someone was eavesdropping, they didn't have the slightest doubt about Xia Jin's words. A person who can put life and death aside and take the initiative to invite Ying to the border to treat patients, he and his father are willing to believe in her character.

Besides, what reason did Xia Jin have to deceive them? They are a family, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

"Grandfather, uncle, now you can rest assured that I will go to the border gate alone, right?" Xia Jin showed his kung fu with such intentions.

Emotionally identifying with these relatives, she is not prepared to hide in front of them. The head of the Shao family is Mrs. Shao and Uncle Shao, and she can't get around them if she encounters anything with her parents and brother. Rather than letting them know later and making them unhappy, it's better to be honest now.

Old lady Shao shook her head: "The emperor will definitely send someone to send you there, I am not worried about safety." How to keep yourself from being infected with the epidemic is the most important thing. ”

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Xia Jin said, "I'll write out what I'm going to do in a while." Grandfather, you helped me find someone to do it. I'm worried that after the emperor's decree, he will let me go immediately, after all, the situation at the border pass, one more day will be worse. ”

"That's fine." Knowing that Xia Jin was confident, Old Lady Shao was a little relieved, "What do you need, just look for your uncle." ”

Shao Hengding also said: "You just say it. ”

Xia Jin is also welcome. Draw masks, clothes, gloves, and other things that you will use to prevent the epidemic. And write out the requirements and hand them to Shao Hengding.

These things don't cost a lot, but it's a lot of trouble to find someone to do them. Xia Jin also had to focus on medicine and alcohol. Naturally, it is better to leave these to Shao Hengding to worry about.

After a meal, Xia Jin returned to his yard, but Xia Zhengqian was called by Mrs. Shao, and his face was very bad when he came back. Went directly into Xia Jin's courtyard.

Xia Jin asked Xia Zhengqian to help him next, and he didn't shy away from him. Directly asked Calamus to lead him to the laboratory. Xia Zhengqian saw Mint sitting in front of a strange cauldron and constantly adding firewood to the stove, and a pipe connected to the pot kept dripping liquid. And Xia Jin in the middle was fiddling with the bottles and cans on the desk, he was startled, and he didn't care about Xingshi's questioning. Looking at these things curiously, he asked, "Sister Jin, what are you doing here?" ”

Xia Jin told Xia Zhengqian about her "whimsy" and simple pharmacology.

Xia Zhengqian has become a modest disciple since he studied medicine with Xia Jin. In his eyes. The daughter is a miracle doctor, with unbelievable theories and all kinds of magical methods. And it turns out. These theories and methods are incomparably correct.

So Xia Jin didn't have to say much, he accepted these things in their entirety, and happily took the medicine cartridge from his daughter's hand, loaded a small thin bamboo tube of suitable size with tweezers, drew a little medicinal liquid, and injected it into a chicken, and then saw that the chicken was still alive and kicking after the needle was pulled out, and there was no heavy bleeding, he was surprised and excited.

It was as if they had opened a door for him to indulge in, but they still didn't divert his attention. Putting down the things in his hand, he stared at Xia Jin for a while, and then stopped.

Xia Jin had to stand with his hands tied, waiting to be criticized.

In fact, her father's criticism of her was very heartwarming. An orthodox person like Xia Zhengqian violated the norms of the world and opposed her going to the border, which was a deep father's love that warmed her heart.

However, I probably knew that the wood was already in the boat, Xia Jin said in front of the Queen Mother, and the emperor had a will, and she had to make the trip; Or maybe it was Mrs. Shao who did his ideological work. Xia Zhengqian stared at Xia Jin and was silent for a while, and finally only sighed and said, "You promised your father that you must come back alive." ”

"Hmm." Xia Jin nodded. She has never liked to cry, but she only feels that her nose is sour.

"Your mother, don't tell her yet. Wait for the emperor to make an order, and he can't hide it. Xia Zhengqian told again.

Xia Jin nodded again: "Mmmm, this couldn't be better." ”

Making this decision, she was most frightened by Shu's family. Shu will never let her go to the border.

"Dad, you must know that the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace today, not to be idle, let me go and chat with her." Xia Jin said, "Although she hasn't mentioned letting me go to the border, it's just that I can't talk about it." As soon as she mentioned it, King Yan's faction would definitely fold bullets to impeach the emperor uselessly, and it was necessary to rely on a woman to maintain peace in the world. In this way, the emperor will fall into passivity. I just avoided this topic today, and someone will try to persuade me to come forward later. At that time, we will be passive, not only will we not get benefits, but we will not be able to go to the border gates. I think you can understand that. You must persuade your mother not to make trouble, otherwise not only will you not be able to stop me from going to the border, but it will leave a bad impression on the queen mother and the emperor, and even affect the entire Shao family. ”

Hearing Xia Jin's solemn words, Xia Zhengqian solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade your mother." ”

With Xia Zhengqian as a guarantee, Xia Jin was relieved.

In the next two days, Xia Jin and the Shao family were preparing for her to go to the border pass, but there was no news in the palace. It wasn't until the third day that a decree finally came from the palace that she went to the border to treat the epidemic.

To ensure her safety on the road, this decree was made in secret. The Shao family only knew about Old Lady Shao, Shao Hengding and Xia Zhengqian.

Saving people is like fighting fire, since she took the initiative to ask for help, and the holy decree came down again, she immediately packed up her things and prepared to come out.

The only thing that made her embarrassed now was which maid to follow her with her - the emperor sent a dozen martial arts masters to escort her around in the guise of a merchant to ensure her safety on the road. In this way, according to the ancient rules, she had to be taken care of by a maid when she sat up and down, and someone took care of her to take a meal and water, so she didn't have to deal with those people herself, which was very important to maintain her reputation. The Shao family will not allow her not to even bring a maid.

However, it is unfair to bring anyone. There may never be a return. Although these people are slaves, and their fate seems to be at the mercy of their masters, Xia Jin, who has the ideas of the 21st century, still can't do anything to control the fate of others at will.

She wants to go to the border and pack her things, so naturally she can't hide the two personal maids of iris and mint.

She simply called both of them over, and said that she was going to take one person to the border pass, and also explained the difficulties of the border pass, and said: "If any of you don't want to go, you can make it clear to me." I won't blame you if you don't want to go, after all, you are still the age of flowers, and no one wants to die. ”

Calamus and Mint were a little stunned when they heard her words, and they glanced at each other, and Calamus said, "Girl, the slave maid thinks that you will let us both go with us." It's definitely not enough to serve you alone. ”

Mint also nodded: "Yes." ”

Xia Jin was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No, I only need to bring one." It doesn't have to be the two of you, neither of you want to go, I can still go and ask someone else. It's up to you. ”

"The slave and maid will go with you." Calamus didn't think about it, so she said directly.

"The slave is willing to go with you." Mint seemed to be afraid of falling behind, and said in a hurry.

At this moment, Xia Jin was moved, her master didn't do a failure, did she? At least someone was willing to die with her.

To make this clear to the two, she coldly pointed out the facts: "This one may never come back." After all, it was an epidemic area, and people there were dying in batches. ”

"The slave knows." Calamus still does not hesitate.

Mint hesitated, but still said, "The slave is willing to go." ”

Xia Jin stared at the two of them, a smile slowly rising to his face. She walked over to the table, wrote two notes, crumpled them together, and walked up to the two of them: "I can't decide which of you is going and who is not going. Let Heaven decide your fate now. ”

Mint looked at the two paper balls, then at the calamus.

In Xia Jin's courtyard, the maid with the highest status is calamus, which is actually mint. Mint is honest and honest, not as clever as Calamus, and is loyal to Xia Jin, but also listens to Calamus. What is always picked first by calamus, then mint, and then by other maids. Therefore, even if the lot is drawn now, following the convention, it should be the calamus that catches first.

The iris didn't move, raised her chin and said, "You can catch it." ”

This is not a fabric or silk flower rewarded by the girl, but an opportunity to die, and even if Mint is not clever, he knows that it is not the time to push. She raised her hand and grabbed a ball of paper in her hand.

But before she could open it, the calamus knelt down: "Girl, you are still pretending to be a man, right?" Since you brought Dong Fang home, the slave has been learning how to walk as a man, and now she has learned to look like seven or eight points; And on the way to the capital, the slave also learned to ride a horse; In the past year, the slaves and maids have also worked hard to practice kung fu. Now no matter what the girl does, the slave can at least keep up with the girl's pace. Therefore, the slave and maid followed, and the girl would not be dragged down. Let the slave and maid follow you. ”

"Calamus, after your sister died, your parents were the only child of yours. Can you bear to let them send white-haired people to black-haired people? ”

"They follow the lord and the lady, and there will be no one to support the elderly." Calamus was very firm, "The girl can go, there is no reason why the slave and maid can't go." Compared to the girl, what is the life of the slave and maid? My dad and my mom won't stop me. (To be continued)
