"How many days are left?" Haizhu was concerned about this, "I should have gone back to the south with the ship, cough cough cough - alas, it was too painful." ”

"It's almost there, and you can enter Chang'an tomorrow evening." Han Ji closed the window of the car and said through the window: "You can bear with it, I will find a doctor to treat you when you enter Beijing." ”

Haizhu chewed an apple and pouted, The emperor is going to kill you, you still want to enter the palace to ask for a doctor, and you are not afraid of having a life in or out. She took another bite of the apple, pulled up the quilt and lay down to chew, the cold juice into her throat, and the itch in her throat was temporarily suppressed. She stared at the swaying roof of the car, thinking that the people who could slaughter the officials were not ordinary people, knowing that the other party had hidden murderous intent against him, he still dared to enter Beijing without saying anything, and even pretended to be ignorant and unaware to bow down and call for justice.

Haizhu turned over, if anyone dared to harm her family, she was afraid that she would not be able to swallow this breath.

Staying at the post station at night, Han Ji personally stared at the cook to steam two bowls of apples, the apples were put in a bowl without water and oil and steamed in the pot to soften, and when it was not hot, he sent her the bowl of Haizhu.

Haizhu is already sitting on the bed, there is a charcoal basin in the house, the window is open, the warmth is warm, but it is stuffy, she always wants to cough.

"You can eat it yourself, I have no appetite, I cough so much that I want to vomit." Her voice had changed, her voice was hoarse, and her ears were buzzing and accented.

"Have you drunk the medicine?" Han Ji held the bowl and asked, "It's better to be like this, I'll eat the apples, and you drink the steamed juice." ”

Haizhu glanced at him, a bowl of steamed apples and two people eating it separately?

"It's late at night." She reminded him that it was time to fuck off.

Han Ji just didn't hear the meaning of the words, he went out to urge the medicine, took the medicine bowl and stood by the window in the wind, and waited for the medicine to be no longer hot before bringing it in, "Drink quickly, drink something sweet after drinking, and don't cough when you get up tomorrow morning." ”

Haizhu was silent, and she said the same thing when Chaoping was sick and refused to drink medicine. She got out of bed and took the medicine bowl and drank it with a frown, without giving him a chance to speak, picked up the steamed apple and drank the juice again, put the soft apple back in the bowl and handed it to him, saying, "Take your home remedies." ”

After that, he walked to the table to drink water and rinse his mouth.

Han Ji stopped being verbose, he walked out of the door and opened the door, and instructed through the door: "I will sleep next door, and you can shout if there is something at night." ”

"Hmm."

Haizhu slept not very peacefully, Han Ji listened to her cough next door all night, he woke up from sleep, heard the sound of opening the door in the morning, his legs and feet reacted before his brain, he opened the door and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Thanks to your home remedies, I'm much better, I'm sweating from sleep, you ask Xiao Er to bring me a bucket of hot water." Her voice is still hoarse, but her body is much lighter.

Han Ji didn't let her take a bath, because she was afraid that she would suffer from the cold again, so she asked her to fry the side medicine and let her drink it, and steamed a bowl of apples for her before getting into the carriage, "If you don't want to eat, drink the juice." ”

Haizhu took the bowl and sat in the carriage with a spoon to pick up the apple pulp and eat it, and drank the juice cleanly.

When she stopped to eat at noon, she saw Han Ji coming over with another medicine bowl, she took the bowl and took a sip, the temperature was just right.

"Do you feel guilty about me? Serve me so thoughtfully. She handed him the bowl, "Actually, no, we have known each other for a long time, and I am very happy to have saved you, and I am glad that I came with you this time." ”

"Isn't it good to have someone to serve? According to your ability, I should have offered you up, burned incense and bowed down every day. Han Ji didn't answer positively, there is a kind of person who does good deeds and doesn't invite credit, Haizhu is this character, if he says grateful, she may not be comfortable and feel pressured.

"My mother believes in Buddhism, and when I go back, let her shape a golden body for you?" He continued to joke.

“…… Forget it, it's better to give the gold to me. ”

Han Ji ignored her, returned the bowl to the store, and continued to hurry.

In the evening, the carriage entered Beijing, where it was dark and the sky was covered with dark clouds, Haizhu pushed the window to take a look, and the people on the street hurriedly went home with their hands and necks in their hands, avoiding the night patrol soldiers with their faces and knives on their shoulders. She just glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, there was nothing to look at, it was quite depressing.

The carriage became quieter and quieter, and the dry soil that had been rolled over by the wheels of the carriage left a line of gray marks on the bluestone slab, and when the carriage stopped, Haizhu straightened the hem of his clothes, pushed the door and bent out.

Han Ji dismounted and came over to help her, Haizhu glanced at the group of people who trotted out, and she avoided his hand and jumped out of the carriage.

"The second young master is back."

"Second Uncle—"

"Look west, my child, let my mother see ......"

Haizhu walked to the old housekeeper and looked at the people in front of the door crying and laughing, and the group hurried out and crowded into the door.

Han Ji glanced at Haizhu, she hurriedly waved her hand to signal him to be busy with him, there was an old housekeeper here, she couldn't lose it.

She lived in the side courtyard of the carved beams and paintings, with maids making beds, charcoal basins lit in the house, and good smelling incense. After eating, Haizhu looked like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden for the first time, and walked around the house, vases, incense burners, tea cups, hanging paintings, carvings on doors and windows, and large screens...... I looked at them one by one, and then I put on my cloak and carried the hexagonal palace lamp to the courtyard.

"Miss Qi, Madame has brought the imperial doctor here." The maid guarding the door came in to spread the word.

Haizhu put away the excitement on his face, walked down the steps to meet him, and greeted the group of people who came with palace lamps at the door.

"Hello Mrs. Hou." She shouted.

"Good boy, our mother and daughter are talking in the house, you are still sick, don't suffer from the cold anymore." The plainly dressed woman held Haizhu's hand, turned her head and said, "Imperial Doctor Xu, please show me this righteous daughter, her hand is not warm at all." ”

"I just stood outside and froze." Haizhu explained.

When she entered the house, she saw Mrs. Hou's appearance clearly, a round-faced woman, with a fair face, tired eyes, no traces of fatigue on her face, but there were folds at the corners of her eyes, and her sideburns were a little gray, looking young and old.

A silk handkerchief fell on her wrist, and then the imperial doctor's hand pressed on her wrist, Haizhu retracted her gaze, she tore off the handkerchief, smiled at Imperial Doctor Xu, and said, "No need for a handkerchief, our seaside girls don't pay attention to this." ”

The old lady smiled gently and listened attentively.

The maid served tea, and Mrs. Hou picked up the tea cup and sat aside.

The tea turned cold, and the old lady let go of her fingers and said, "The girl has a heavy cold in her body, and she has soaked in cold water in recent days?" ”

Haizhu glanced at Mrs. Hou and nodded.

"You have to take care of yourself, otherwise I'm afraid it will not be good for your heirs." The old lady went out to write a prescription and said to Mrs. Hou who came out: "I will prescribe a warm prescription, let the girl eat for a while longer, a year and a half is not too short, it is best to add a steam bath, and don't touch cold water in the future." ”

"Remember?" Mrs. Hou looked at Haizhu, she thought for a moment, and said, "I have a hot spring village on the outskirts of Beijing, and you will live in the past these days." ”

Haizhu was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

After sending the old lady away, Mrs. Hou waved her hand to let the people who were waiting go down, she pulled Haizhu and said: "Good boy, you saved Xiwang's life, you are the benefactor of our whole family, if you don't have you, I will have no son." ”

"It's also a coincidence, I didn't expect to encounter this." Haizhu was a little uncomfortable, and she was clumsy when she encountered this kind of thing.

"Alas, Xiwang told me and his father, I don't hide my family's affairs from you, my family can't be calm in the next few days, and there are a lot of troubles, I mean you move to live in the hot spring Zhuangzi, and it will be warm there, lest you can't adapt to the climate in the north and get sick again." Second, don't get involved in my family's troubles, if something is wrong, I will send someone to inform you, and you will go south as soon as possible. ”

Haizhu nodded, "Okay, thank you stepmother for thinking about me." ”

"It's none of your business." Mrs. Hou touched Haizhu's head, "Thank you so much." ”

……

The next morning, Haizhu had breakfast and went to visit Admiral Han and followed the old housekeeper out of Beijing, and asked about Admiral Han's arrow wound on the way, he was very happy and said: "Doctor Mu has good medical skills, that arrow grazed his heart and pierced into the flesh, and it was also blessed by the ancestors, and if he deviated a little, Master Hou would not survive." ”

After traveling for most of the day to the hot spring Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Haizhu stepped off the carriage and found that it was snowing, and she was pleasantly surprised: "It's so good, I thought I would never see snow in my life." ”

At this time, Han Ji had just walked out of the palace gate, and as he expected, the emperor launched a substitute for the dead ghost.

In the middle of the night, the emperor came to Anyuan Houfu to visit the seriously injured Marquis Anyuan, the two were the same age, the person sitting had a big belly, and the person lying on the bed was thin as a handful of bones, like an oil lamp exhausted, gray hair, and no one doubted that he was a seventy-year-old man.

"Your Majesty, the minister's body can no longer go into battle to kill the enemy, he is already exhausted, and it is already vain to sit on the tiger talisman." Admiral Han was completely disappointed in this court, he didn't even bother to look at the hypocritical emperor pretending to be in front of him, and he didn't want to waste his energy to say useless words, so he directly took out the tiger talisman from under the pillow and handed it over, "It is only idle with me, please choose a British lord for it and fight for the country and kill the enemy." ”

"What does Marquis An Yuanhou mean by this, the young general is also a fierce general, the tiger father has no dog son, I am intending to let him fight for his father."

Admiral Han's heart tightened, and his wound hurt violently, and he refused for Han Ji: "He can't do it, he has been on the battlefield twice, and he is not a veteran of the DPRK." Lao Chen intends to go to Guangnan to retire, I don't know how many days I can live, I left home at a young age, I fought all my life, and I want to live a life when I am old. I was planning to move to Quang Nam with my whole family, and when I died, the tombstone stood facing north, and I looked at the territory of my dynasty day and night. ”

"How do you want to go to Quang Nam, this place is wild, the climate is humid and hot, and it really doesn't support people." The emperor was suspicious.

"After living for a long time, I got used to it, there are bandits on the sea, and the old minister took him over, and he can also guard the South China Sea for the emperor."

The emperor played with the tiger talisman in his hand, he pondered in his heart, the prestige of Marquis Anyuan in the court and the people is quite large, on the bright side he does not dare to attack them, if he leaves people in Kyoto, in the battle for the throne, Marquis Anyuan's mansion will always be a force to fight. It's better to kick people far away, you can't enter Beijing without the emperor's order, you are far away from the court and you have no military power, and you're just a sick cat if you have no reputation.

"Tomorrow morning, I will discuss it with all Aiqing." He no longer speaks high-sounding words.

Admiral Han breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor wants a good name, Admiral Han is as he wants, Han Ji also cried about filial piety in the high hall, and accompanied his father to go away to retire in a foreign country.

The in-laws of the Han family took turns to persuade him, and his good colleagues also came to persuade Admiral Han to think deeply.

Han Ji had already begun to pack his luggage, and all the unimportant family properties were sold off, and he was unwilling to take any further steps in this imperial city.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, he went to the suburbs of Beijing to pick up Haizhu and return home, and the family ate a meal of Laba porridge on this day, and then dragged his luggage out of the gate of the waiting house.

Admiral Han was injured and could not walk, but he couldn't wait to leave, he lay on the carriage, looking through the window of the car at the two stone lions, when the last stone shadow faded, a pair of old eyes shed two lines of tears.

The carriage drove out of the city gate, and Mrs. Hou held her grandson in her arms and took a heavy breath.

"Grandmother, are you reluctant?"

"No, I don't have to worry about you anymore."

Chapter 130: Mother wishes you what you want

The snow on the road has not melted, and the wheels of the car creak and creak on the snowdrifts, especially to prevent slipping, the ropes are twisted on the wheels, and the ropes rub against the wheels so creaking that people's teeth and ears are swollen.

Haizhu pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and the whole person tried to cover her ears in the quilt, and slowly fell asleep in the rickety carriage.

Seeing that there was no movement under the quilt, the maid tore off the quilt covering her head, so as not to be angry after covering it for a long time.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, and then the window was knocked, and the maid pushed open the window to look out, and whispered, "Second young master, Miss Qi is asleep." ”

"Hmm." Han Ji pushed the car window, and it didn't take long for him to come over again, knocked on the car window and handed a water bladder with hot water inside, and explained: "Stuff her in the quilt and cover it, if she wakes up, let her lie down for a while, don't open the window and don't go out of the car door just after waking up, it's easy to get cold and get sick." ”

Haizhu hadn't fallen asleep and woke up when she heard the sound, but she closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep, and when the windows closed again, the sound of horses' hooves went forward, and the quilt at her feet was lifted and stuffed into a slightly hot water bladder, She moved her feet, and took the opportunity to turn over and face the car wall.

After squirming for a while, the maid also laid out the mattress and covered the quilt and lay down, When the carriage was quiet, she opened her eyes and looked at the smooth walls. She is not a real innocent girl of fifteen or sixteen, Han Ji's mind is not hidden, although he never said it, but his attitude and eyes reveal his thoughts about her.

When Haizhu first noticed that his eyes were not innocent, he was sending troops to the deep sea to suppress bandits, Admiral Han planned to let her go to sea with the ship, but he chose to put her attitude first, she believed that if she was unwilling to follow, he would directly refute his father's idea. This is actually not in line with his character, if she was not sure at first, this time he quietly left Guangnan to go to the northwest, and forcefully asked Shen Sui to lie for him, patrolling the ship and patrolling the sea on his behalf, and when Shen Sui found her to complain, she was sure in her heart.

She and Shen Sui can be regarded as Han Ji's friends, for the sake of the overall situation, Han Ji pulled Shen Sui onto the thief ship out of trust, and Shen Sui was reluctant and useless. And he knew what she was capable of, but he was unwilling to force her to go to sea with him to take risks, which was not just a pity.

After she agreed to follow the boat to suppress the bandits, when he came back from the sea, when he looked at her, his eyes would occasionally show a little fiery.

also worried about her physical condition, prepared warm and tonic medicinal materials for her, offered to let Dr. Mu take her pulse, prepared her change of clothes on the ship, and went to her home to find her every time the ship passed by Yongning...... With Shen Sui on one side, Han Ji's behavior seems to be out of line, especially since he is still a son from a family and knows more about rules and proportions.

Haizhu consciously became more familiar with Shen Sui, the two knew each other earlier, and they had a lot of dealings, Shen Sui was a pity for her, he also cared about her, but he didn't have any ideas about her, so he wouldn't bother to do these things.

On this journey to the north, Han Ji's mind was almost undisguised, and his words and actions were much more presumptuous.

Haizhu sighed secretly, she turned over and lay on the front, her feet covered with sweat, and she kicked the water bladder out of the bed.

"Miss Qi?" The maid sat up, "Are you awake?" Do you want to drink water? ”

"No, you continue to sleep, you sleep on the board of the car to get cold, take off the water bladder and cover it."

"That's what the young general prepared for you, it's not appropriate for slaves and maids."

"I'm sweating, you don't have to let it cool." Haizhu sat up and handed her the water bladder, "Here, don't get frostbite, otherwise you will suffer along the way." ”

The sound of horses' hooves came again, and the maid quickly stuffed the water bladder into the bed, and as soon as she sat up, the window was knocked.

"You don't need to open the window, Haizhu, are you awake?" Han Ji heard her voice outside.

"Hmm." Haizhu answered, she sat up, and said, "Thank you for the water bladder, I slept sweating." ”

"Tell me when the water bladder is cold, I'll fill you with hot water again, and my dad has a charcoal basin in his car to boil water."
