Volume 1 Young, frivolous, and more swordsmen Chapter 100
After hearing what the envoy Wang Yuan was talking about, everyone was a little confused. Since the injury was stable, why did the result still not be ideal?
Wang Yuanzhang took out one or two prescriptions with a tired face and said: We have helped the British Duke and the young master to cure the wound. You just need to follow the medicine written on this prescription. One prescription is for external application. Change the medicine every other day, and the other one is for them to drink. As for the two inside, let them take good care of it. The young master just lost too much blood and will wake up soon and get out of bed after seven days. As for the British Duke, remember not to get up within a month for the injury of the British Duke. Even if you feed the medicine, you must lie down and feed it. As for the future, you may never stand up again.
After hearing the words of the King of the People, Zhu Chunchen felt guilty and didn't know what to say. The literati couldn't write and the warrior couldn't take a knife. This was the most regrettable thing. Maybe he didn't sleep that time, or maybe the British Duke wouldn't be seriously injured.
I still have to thank the three imperial physicians for their hard work. Zhu Chunchen bowed to the envoy of the Wang Yuan and the other two imperial physicians. After that, he took out three silver notes of one hundred taels from his sleeve and handed them to the envoy of the Wang Yuan.
The envoy of the Wang Yuan was not polite and took over three silver notes. Although the doctor was willing to save the world and cure the disease and save the people as his duty, among the dignitaries in this capital, if you do not collect some medical expenses, it would be a matter of offending people. In the eyes of those people, it is always much lighter to pay some money than to owe favors.
After collecting the money, the three imperial physicians said goodbye and left. Duke Cheng sent someone to send the three imperial physicians back to the Imperial Hospital.
After knowing the result, the people who came to visit disperse, leaving only a few servants in the Duke of England who were caring for the injured.
The manager Zhang Zhong sent someone to catch the medicine according to the prescription, but he did not dare to leave at all. Once the news of the British Duke being assassinated spread in the capital, those who came to visit would probably come one after another.
Zhu Youjian and Luo Yangxing, who went to visit the Duke of England, also returned to the Zhu Mansion together.
On the way back to the house, Luo Yangxing asked Zhu Youjian in confusion: Fifth Brother, who is so bold that he dared to blatantly assassinate the dignified Duke in the capital?
Zhu Youjian said: Hearing Duke Cheng said that those people did not look like people from the Ming Dynasty. Although they were wearing Ming Dynasty clothes and spoke Ming Dynasty official words, their gadgets were more like Jurchens. Moreover, two of the six people were bearded with beards on their faces. We Ming Dynasty people rarely had beards.
Luo Yangxing said: Isn’t the detailed work sent by the Jin people to the capital almost the same as the Jin Yiwei arrested last time? Why are there any more? Could it be that the escaped people did not leave and stayed in the capital? If it was really what the Jurchens did as you said, that would be reasonable. If the Duke of England could be eliminated, it would be less of a major concern for the Jurchens.
Zhu Youjian grabbed his head and said: If you are careful, you can send another one. If you are caught, you can send another one. As long as they want to send a detailed program, they can clean up all without leaving any left. As for whether it was done by the Jurchens, when Shuntian Mansion takes away the bodies and go back and check them carefully, you will know it. But there is one thing I can't figure out. If it was really done by the Jurchens, the British Duke has already left the job, and it is basically no threat to them. Why do they still take such a big risk to assassinate the British Duke?
Zhu Youjian couldn't figure out this problem, and he couldn't figure it out even more. However, he had a flash of inspiration and seemed to think of another possibility. Luo Yangxing said uncertainly: Fifth brother, could it be the Jurchens who originally wanted to assassinate Duke Cheng Guo, but when the three of them went home together, the British Duke and Ziyu happened to be in trouble. In the end, the British Duke and his son covered Duke Cheng Guo and escaped, but they trapped themselves.
Zhu Youjian nodded and said: This is not impossible.
The two of them quickly returned to the mansion when they said this.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Zhu Youjian saw Jinxiu greet him. As soon as Jinxiu came to Zhu Youjian, he said: Fifth Master, Miss Xu next door has sent you another post. This time it was sent by Mr. Xu from the Xu Mansion in person. And Mr. Xu also said, "Fifth Master, if you don't go, they will come to ask you for poetry, songs and essays." He also said that Mr. Xu and you haven't seen each other for a long time and miss you very much."
Zhu Youjian smiled and said: This is new. I met Master Xu a few days ago when I was performing martial arts in Beijing. Why haven’t you seen him for a long time? What’s more, when I saw Master Xu that day, he didn’t say anything to me. You can go and refuse it for me.
Jinxiu said: My son, you have rejected him for three times. Even men can't stand it, let alone a girl's house, even I feel a little embarrassed.
Zhu Youjian looked at Jinxiu in confusion and said: Didn’t you take me some benefits? Why did you suddenly say something angry for her?
Jinxiu said: People are just holding on to Miss Xu. Who would take her any benefits? I don’t have to worry about food and drink here. What other benefits do I need? If Miss Xu really bribed me with the benefits, I would look down on her anymore, so how could she speak for her?
Luo Yangxing, who was standing beside him, said: Why don’t you go to Xu’s mansion to meet Miss Xu to guide her poetry and music? Anyway, Xu’s mansion is not far away, so you will arrive when you go out.
Zhu Youjian said: How can I understand the music of poetry? Miss Xu was a famous talented woman in Songjiang before. Isn’t it obvious that I went to guide her?
Luo Yangxing curled his lips and said: It's really rare to see Brother Wu, you are humble. If you say you have different musical music, then the world's most famous literati should not be ashamed to death?
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking helplessly: No one believed the truth when he told the truth, but he believed the lies.
Jinxiu, who was standing beside him, said to Luo Yangxing: You are the one who has taught our young master badly, and always encouraged our young master to go to those messy places and always said some strange things. Now it has caused other ladies to come to the door.
Luo Yangxing was speechless when he heard this: I said Jinxiu, your young master needs me to teach you when he goes out for a romantic and happy life? Your women’s thoughts are really unpredictable. I’m clearly talking for you, why did you blame me instead?
Jinxiu snorted: Humph, no one of you men is good.
Zhu Youjian was amused when he heard Jinxiu's words. Xiu'er, have you read too many verbal books recently? Why are these messy things in your mind?
When Jinxiu heard Zhu Youjian's words, she seemed to have done something bad and was discovered. She lowered her head and whispered: She didn't read much, so she just finished reading the ones in your study.
Zhu Youjian slapped his forehead and said: Oh, romance is killing people. Xiu'er, you are still young and are not suitable for reading those scripts, which is not conducive to your physical and mental health.
Jinxiu laughed out loud after hearing Zhu Youjian's words and said, "Young Master, you have started coaxing me again. You are two years younger than me. You are still watching every day. I saw you still reading colored versions that day, but when I went to your study, I couldn't find them."
Zhu Youjian felt chills in his heart when he heard this. Fortunately, he hid it well. If Jinxiu was really found, he would be a great sin. It would be a poison to the underage girl. The so-called colored version of Jinxiu was the illustrated version of "Jin Ping Mei" that Zhu Youjian finally found.
Luo Yangxing was also interested in listening. Brother Wu actually had a colored version of the lyrics? When would he borrow it from me to read it? It happened that I also had a few books, so we could exchange them for learning.
Zhu Youjian saw Luo Yangxing's humble appearance and said: Only by practicing can you get true knowledge. Just go to the Eight Great Hutongs to practice more, but you don't need to study it by reading the storybook.
When Jinxiu heard that Zhu Youjian started talking nonsense again, she said: "Young Master is starting to talk nonsense again, so I will go and reject Miss Xu for the young master?"
Zhu Youjian nodded and said: Yes, go ahead.
Jinxiu asked: But what reason should I find this time?
When Zhu Youjian heard that he wanted to find a reason, he suddenly felt a little angry. He thought about it carefully. Tomorrow is the seventh day of the fifth month. It seems that there is a temple fair in the Bixia Yuanjun Temple on the east top, and tomorrow is the last day. So he said to Jinxiu: If you go to reply to Miss Xu, I said that I have been busy with poetry creation recently and will go out to find inspiration tomorrow, but I really have no time to go.
Jinxiu said excitedly: Is the young master really going out to find inspiration tomorrow?
Zhu Youjian smiled and said: Of course, it’s not just to find some inspiration, but to deal with her. I can’t say that I just don’t want to go to your mansion to discuss the music of poetry with you, right? That would be too hurtful. But I heard that the temple fair in Dongding is quite fun. If you help me with Miss Xu’s affairs, I will take you to have a walk around in the Ming Dynasty.
Don't worry, Jinxiu will do it now. After that, Jinxiu turned around and turned around and left.
When he heard that Zhu Youjian was going to visit the temple fair, Luo Yangxing quickly advised: Brother Wu, there are all kinds of people in the temple fair, and the staff is complicated. The capital has been very uneasy recently. The assassination of the British Duke has just happened. Shuntian Mansion has not yet determined whether it was done by the Jurchens. Moreover, the Jurchens who escaped last time have not been caught yet. Do you think about it again?
Zhu Youjian said: What are you afraid of? Gao Sheng and Gao Han followed me, even if those Jurchens dared to come, I would definitely let them go without returning. What's more, I am just a prince without a job or power. What did those Jurchens come to me for?
However, Luo Yangxing wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Zhu Youjian's wave.
Zhu Youjian said: Your general flag has worked hard recently. If you go back, you can tell them whoever wants to go with you can go with you. All the consumption tomorrow will be paid by Mr. Zhu.
Seeing that Zhu Youjian had made up his mind to go, Luo Yangxing did not persuade him anymore, but went back to tell the people below him about Zhu Youjian's words. In less than half a day, the story of Zhu Youjian going to visit the temple fair tomorrow spread throughout the Zhu Mansion, and even the doorman knew about it.
