Chapter 5 Peach Blossom with a Human Face 9
################
The churches in Taizhou are not big, they are generally a combination of Chinese and Western buildings, and the locals rarely go back, after all, in this era, the church is still a novelty.
"Anyone?" I walked in a little timidly, the chapel was empty, and I could almost hear my own voice.
"Good morning my lady..." Suddenly a foreigner in a black robe appeared and startled me.
"Morning Sir..."It's over, British? I'm a homebody girl studying in the East.,English is very bad.,How can I communicate with these? "Do you speak Chinese?" I had to try to ask, hoping that this brother could speak Chinese.
“what!? can you speak English?! He yelled at me to speak English, saying he didn't know Chinese at all.
In an instant I collapsed.....
What can I do, although I found a foreigner, but now I don't understand the language.
"I'll translate for you." I was worried about asking people to go back to the translator, but I saw Nian Ruosu walking towards me.
I looked at her suspiciously, but she smiled slightly, signaling me to rest assured. "In the early years, the fourth master specially sent me to learn foreign languages, and I can handle simple conversations."
Although I still don't feel at ease, there is no better way, so I have to die as a horse doctor. "Ask the slaves and maids on the side of the labor and driving side Fujin if they have any medicine for sweat fever?"
As if she had really learned, Nian Ruosu began to communicate with the missionary. It seems that the communication is quite good, and it will not take long for the results to be achieved.
"He said that he has it here, but the amount is not enough, a patient as seriously as the prince's disease needs to take enough two courses of treatment, and his stock here is not even enough for half a course of treatment." After a while, Nian Ruosu told me a good news.
"When will the medicine be delivered here again?" Since there is here, it means that new supplies will be delivered, so it cannot be said that there is no hope at all.
"It's going to take at least five days." She said.
Five-day ...... We must arrive at Mount Tai before the fifth day of the ninth month, otherwise we will miss the auspicious time of the Zen seal, but if we have to stay and wait for the supply of medicine, we will not be able to catch up with the scheduled itinerary, what can we do?!
"There is Lao Fang Fujin, can you please ask him to lend me the existing medicine first, at least bring it back to alleviate the prince's condition first." I had no choice but to propose to bring back some medicines to alleviate my condition first, and then I was waiting for Kangxi's decision.
Nian Ruosu suddenly grabbed my arm, tugged at it gently, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to bring these Western medicines back to treat the prince?" Do you know that if the prince eats it, any adverse reaction will make you die well......"
"I know." I looked at her with determination, in fact, I knew what the outcome would be, and I also knew that if the prince could not be cured, my family and I would be destroyed.
"Don't you care?" She asked anxiously again.
I shook my head lightly and smiled faintly, "It's not that I don't care, but I'm completely sure that I can cure the prince." "In fact, this terrible self-confidence only comes from my familiarity with history, and I know that the prince's name is still long, and he will not die so easily.
She gave me a deep look, then slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to continue talking to the missionary.
After a while, the black-robed missionary took out a black box from the back room and handed it to me, and he said to me in a very unsmooth Chinese, "One day...... Three times...... Take ...... lukewarm water"
"Thank you very much...... I thanked him in a little English.
He smiled and nodded at me, and then said something that I didn't understand too much, as if to say that we are all children of God, may God bless me or something.
Leaving the church, there was already a carriage waiting at the intersection, and Nian Ruosu smiled and invited me to ride back to the palace with her.
I was looking for a chance to talk to her, and it was an opportunity, so I graciously accepted the invitation.
The carriage staggered towards the palace.
"Thank you Fang Fujin for your help today, the slave is grateful." I respectfully thanked her for her luggage.
She smiled helplessly, "Gege and I are separated in the end." ”
"Fujin is the master, how dare the slave ......" I don't know if this is an angry word that has been hidden in my heart for a long time, or the true thoughts in my heart, I didn't feel the slightest awkward when I said it.
"I know we'll never go back to the way we were, but I still hope that you, girl, will treat me as a friend, regardless of your past suspicions." She was sincere, but I couldn't let go of it.
"Fang Fu Jin is serious, today is a slave and maid, thank you very much." I say.
She was stunned for a few seconds, and then regained her composure, but with a little helplessness, "Today's matter, the girl should thank the thirteenth elder brother, he asked me to come to help." ”
"I used to think it was strange, I didn't know that Fang Fujin was a master of horseback riding, but Yinxiang knew, and asked you to teach me to ride a horse, now I think about it I was too stupid, I never thought that you already knew each other." Although I am no longer angry and hiding from me, I can't forgive Runxue for deceiving and saying goodbye at all.
"I have been raised in the fourth master's mansion since I was a child, poetry, books, rituals and music, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even riding and archery are specially asked by the fourth master to teach, no matter what I do, what I learn is to become the fourth master's side Fujin in the future. I didn't have freedom when I was a child, I didn't have my own ......," she said, and even burst into tears, "I also want to see the outside world, and I want to know what it's like to be a living person...... I am very grateful to the eldest young master for saving me, and I am also very high for the three years in Shangshu Mansion, Gege, you treat me like a sister...... If it weren't for these three years, I'm afraid I'd never know what it's like to be alive. ”
I was sad to hear what she said.
In this era, do women really have nothing at all?
After I returned, I relayed the words of the missionary in the church to Kangxi and Aunt Su Mala, and Kangxi hesitated for a long time and finally decided to let the prince try Western medicine.
Sure enough, the next day, the prince's cold and fever gradually eased, but there was still a long way to go.
In such a last resort, Kangxi ordered the royal car to continue to set off for Mount Tai, and the original sealing ceremony was carried out as usual, but the person who presided over the sealing ceremony became Yinxiang.
At the same time, I was crowned as the leading female official in front of the emperor, and accompanied Yinxiang to Mount Tai to seal Zen. And Su Malagu and Suo Etu stayed in Taizhou with Kangxi until the prince recovered.
At this point, I finally saw the selfishness of this emperor through the ages.
The most precious thing in his heart is the prince, and the most important is indeed Yinxiang.
However, in this case, why does he want to trap this son he values the most in the future?
History is becoming more and more incomprehensible to me, will I really become the thirteenth elder brother's concubine Fujin in the future as the history books say? Why am I so uncertain at the moment?
