Chapter 2867: The Good Medicine Lingyu Paste, Freezing the Zhongshan Wolf to Death
Jia Chang then put down his right hand, looked at Jia Baoyu with a smile, and spoke to Jia Mu.
"Grandmother, I said this method is effective! In the future, whenever Baoyu gets sick, just notify me, and I will definitely beat him up!"
Jia Chang's voice was extremely gentle, but it made Jia Baoyu shiver, a trace of fear and terror flashed in his eyes, and his body shrank in Jia Mu's arms.
Jia Mu also regained her composure at this time, looked at Jia Baoyu, whose face was swollen, and complained with some heartache.
"You hit too hard, look at what Baoyu has become!"
"Besides, what are you talking about? Bah, bah, bah, Baoyu will never be crazy again!"
Jia Chang didn't care. He knew from a young age that Jia Mu was partial. Except for Baoyu, the other grandchildren added together were not as important as Baoyu's fingernails. He said with a smile.
"You didn't use much strength, and you didn't hit him hard, so you can't wake him up!"
Jia Chang stared at Jia Baoyu's eyes meaningfully, telling him that this trick would not work on him. If he dared to do this again in the future, he would make Jia Baoyu suffer, and he would never give up so easily by slapping him a few times.
After such a commotion today, everyone was not interested in staying in Rongqing Hall, and they all left.
Only the injured Jia Baoyu was left, hiding in Jia Mu's arms and crying alone. He lost both his wife and his army today. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he was also slapped four times, and he couldn't even say the words of pain.
Jia Chang walked out of Rongguo Mansion with Xiao Ruyi, stopped outside the mansion, looked back, sneered, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a carriage stopped outside Rongguo Mansion, and an old man in his fifties got out of the carriage. The old man had black hair and beard, was well maintained, and was in high spirits. He was holding a wooden box in his hand and walked towards Rongguo Mansion with nimble legs and feet.
"Your humble servant greets Duke Wu!"
The old man was Doctor Wang of the Imperial Hospital. He was a skilled doctor and the current left judge of the sixth rank of the Imperial Hospital. He naturally recognized the first military commander of Daqian, Duke Wu, Jia Chang, and hurriedly stopped, bowed and greeted him.
Jia Chang paused, looked at Doctor Wang, and spoke thoughtfully.
"Get up!"
Jia Chang took a step forward, put his mouth close to Doctor Wang's ear, and whispered.
"The mansion asked you to come here, it must be for Jia Baoyu. He is awake now, but he was slapped by me a few times, and his face is swollen like a bun. The old lady must ask you to prescribe some ointment to clear the stasis and reduce the swelling. I don't want him to be so swollen. I want him to be in pain for a while and learn a lesson. Doctor Wang, do you know how to do it?"
Doctor Wang looked up at Jia Chang's cold face, which was intimidating without anger, which made his heart jump, and he hurriedly bowed and said.
"Don't worry, Duke Wu, I understand!"
"That's good. I heard that your son is the head of the Ministry of Rites?"
Doctor Wang nodded, his heart moved slightly, and his face showed excitement and surprise.
Doctor Wang had only one son, and he didn't want him to be a royal doctor. He was worried all day long. He cultivated his son to study since he was a child. Finally, he got a reputation and entered the Ministry of Rites as a sixth-rank head, which was also a new path.
"Uncle Lin will be promoted to the Minister of Rites. Last time I heard him say that the Ministry of Rites is still short of a Yuanwailang. I think your son is very suitable!"
Jia Chang walked towards the carriage of the Duke's Mansion not far away without stopping, and Xiao Ruyi followed closely behind him.
Doctor Wang was worried, bowed to Jia Chang's back, and said excitedly.
"Thank you, Duke Wu, I will do my best!"
Doctor Wang waited until Jia Chang's figure disappeared in the carriage, then he got up, walked into Rongguo Mansion, and came to Rongqing Hall.
"Wang Gongfeng, you are here. Come and see if Baoyu is okay!"
When Jia Mu saw Wang Taiyi, she was extremely excited and urged Wang Taiyi to help Jia Baoyu.
Wang Taiyi looked over and saw that Jia Baoyu's face was swollen like a steamed bun, with a strange look on his face. He walked up and put his hand on Jia Baoyu's wrist, felt his pulse, and found no problem. Then he spoke.
"Don't worry, old lady, the young master is fine and healthy!"
Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that Chang Ge'er's method was really effective.
"Then I'm relieved, but I have to trouble Gongfeng to prescribe some ointment for him to dissolve blood stasis and reduce swelling, so that he won't be embarrassed and inappropriate in this state!"
Wang Taiyi secretly said that he had come to work, took out a wooden box from the medicine box, handed it to Jia Mu, and said.
"Old lady, this is Lingyu ointment, which can reduce swelling and dissolve blood stasis. Ask someone to apply it to the young master once in the morning and evening every day, and the swelling will definitely go down quickly!"
Grandmother Jia thanked him repeatedly and asked Yuanyang to prepare silver to thank Doctor Wang, very warm and polite.
Doctor Wang felt a little guilty, but just evaded, did not accept the money, and hurriedly left Rongguo Mansion.
Grandmother Jia asked Yuanyang to help Jia Baoyu apply Lingyu ointment, which was icy and cool at first and very comfortable.
Jia Baoyu felt much more relaxed and returned to his own courtyard, but in the middle of the night, Jia Baoyu couldn't sleep because of the pain. The maid of Yihong Courtyard took care of him all night. The next morning, Jia Baoyu felt much better and asked Xiren to help apply Lingyu ointment again. It was icy and cool and very comfortable. At noon, Jia Baoyu was in unbearable pain again.
Jia Baoyu didn't suspect that there was anything wrong with the Lingyu ointment, but thought it was so painful because the effect of the medicine had dissipated.
After a month of suffering from pain, Jia Baoyu finally ended his purgatory-like days and lost more than ten pounds.
Soon, Wang Taiyi's son was promoted to the position of Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Rites. It was said that he also relied on Lin Ruhai, the new Minister of Rites. What surprised countless people was that they had never heard of any contact between the two before.
Jia Baoyu's incident almost ruined the marriage between Jia Chang and Lin Daiyu. Lin Ruhai was naturally furious when he heard about it. He found Jia Zheng and angrily accused him of not being able to discipline his son. He even wanted to take Lin Daiyu back to live in the mansion, but was stopped by Jia Chang.
Lin Daiyu lived in Rongguo Mansion with the company of her sisters. She would not be lonely and was much happier than if she returned to Lin Mansion. As for Jia Baoyu, with Jia Chang around, he could not cause any trouble!
Jia Zheng also heard about the farce that day and was angrily scolded by Lin Ruhai. He was also very angry. Jia Baoyu's face had just subsided when he was beaten again. He did not get out of bed for a month. It was very miserable.
Since Jia Baoyu made trouble, Lin Daiyu has been avoiding him and no longer seeing him, which makes Fenghuangdan frown and sigh every day.
Years are long, time never stops, spring comes and autumn goes, the four seasons rotate, and it is another cold winter. A heavy snow just fell last night, and the sky and the earth were white. The cold air was pressing, making people not want to go out.
There is a Sun family in Datong Prefecture, and they have a long-standing friendship with the Jia family. It is only because Master Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion also hates the Sun family very much. They have not contacted for many years, and the relationship has faded.
The ancestors of the Sun family coveted the power of the Ning and Rong mansions, and encountered difficult problems, so they worshipped the Ning and Rong mansions and became long-time friends. This is also the reason why Jia Zheng hates the Sun family. He thinks that their family is greedy for vanity and clings to the powerful and wealthy, and they cannot be deeply friends.
Now the head of the Sun family is alone in Beijing, inheriting the post of commander. This man is called Sun Shaozu. He is tall and strong, skilled in archery and horse riding, and good at dealing with social situations. He is under 30 years old and has a wealthy family. He is now waiting for a vacancy in the Ministry of War for promotion.
Sun Shaozu originally wanted to cut off contact with the Ningguo Mansion when he saw that the Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion were gradually declining. Unexpectedly, Jia Chang suddenly appeared and became famous in Daqian, making the Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion prosperous again. He then set his sights on the Rongguo Mansion and wanted to curry favor with Jia Chang and establish a relationship with him.
Sun Shaozu was nearly 30 years old and had a wife. Because she could not bear his torture, she hanged herself to death. She said to the outside world that she had a serious illness and died without treatment. Now that he has no wife, he wants to marry a lady from the Rongguo Mansion, so that he can become Jia Chang's uncle, successfully establish a relationship with him, and rise to prominence.
After inquiring, Sun Shaozu found out that Jia She of Rongguo Mansion was greedy for money and lustful, so he deliberately made friends with her. In just half a month, he had a close relationship with Jia She.
Sun Shaozu finally showed his true colors and took out five thousand taels of silver to ask Jia She to marry his daughter Yingchun, wanting to be the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia She was blinded by money and actually accepted the five thousand taels of silver, sold his daughter, and decided on the marriage between Sun Shaozu and Yingchun, and went to Rongqing Hall to report the matter.
Jia Mu didn't care about the marriage of her granddaughters. She only had the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu in her eyes. When she heard about this, she just replied.
"I know!"
Jia Mu didn't care what kind of person Sun Shaozu was. She felt that the affairs of her children were determined by God, and it was Yingchun's father Jia She who advocated it, so why should she get involved?
Jia Zheng, because he hated the Sun family, tried to persuade them twice, but Jia She would not listen at all. He was blinded by the money and did not care about Yingchun's life or death.
Yingchun was struck by lightning when she heard about this. She cried many times in her courtyard and was seen by Lin Daiyu several times.
Lin Daiyu got what she wanted, and naturally could not bear to see her sisters suffer. She told Xiao Ruyi about this and asked her to tell Jia Chang to think of a solution.
Jia Chang knew what kind of person Sun Shaozu was, and did not want Yingchun to jump into the fire pit and be tortured to death by Sun Shaozu, the Zhongshan wolf.
"The autumn wind was cold in the pond overnight, blowing away the red jade shadows of the lotus. The water chestnut flowers and water chestnut leaves were overwhelmed with sorrow, and the heavy dew and frost pressed the slender stems. I could not hear the sound of chess being knocked during the long day, and the bird's feces stained the chessboard. The ancients were reluctant to part with their friends, and I am now a brother!"
Jia Chang sneered. He knew Sun Shaozu's thoughts very well. He would not let him succeed. He actually dared to set his sights on the sisters in the mansion. He really didn't know how to live or die!
On this day, Sun Shaozu was invited by the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of War to go to Yuehua Tower for a drink. Sun Shaozu was waiting for news from the Ministry of War, so he naturally would not refuse and happily accepted the invitation.
Liu Ze'en, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of War, had received favors from Jia Chang and received Jia Chang's instructions. He kept pouring wine for Sun Shaozu at the table and said flatteringly.
"Brother Sun, I heard that you are going to marry the second lady of Rongguo Mansion. Is this true?"
Sun Shaozu was proud in his heart. Looking at Liu Ze'en with a flattering look on his face, he nodded arrogantly and said.
"That's right, I have proposed to Marquis Jia En, and he has agreed. We just need to wait for the matchmaker to come in two days, and then the matter will be settled!"
"Brother Sun has good means. Now that he is relying on Rongguo Mansion, it is equivalent to relying on Duke Wu. He will surely be able to rise to prominence in the future!"
"When the time comes, Brother Sun, don't forget your brother!"
Liu Ze'en kept flattering Sun Shaozu, giving him a spell, making Sun Shaozu laugh and drink continuously, and said that he would take on a lot.
"Don't worry, brother Liu, I am not that kind of person, and I will definitely not forget you in the future!"
Sun Shaozu was secretly proud of himself. He made the right move. Although Liu Ze'en was just a small military official, he used to be indifferent to him. Even if he gave him a generous gift, he was still arrogant. Now that he has climbed up to Duke Wu Jia Chang, he is eager to invite him to drink and flatter him.
Liu Zeen sneered in his heart. As expected, what Wu Guogong said was right. Sun Shaozu wanted to use marriage to get close to him. Such a villain also wanted to marry the lady of Rongguo Mansion. This was wishful thinking. Let you be proud first, and then let you die tonight.
"Brother Sun is kind and righteous. I toast you again!"
Liu Zeen hurriedly got up and filled Sun Shaozu's glass with wine. He toasted again, looking very moved.
Sun Shaozu was arrogant and accepted everyone who came. He drank one cup after another until he was drunk. The banquet was over.
At this time, the sky was dark, and snowflakes were falling in the air. The whole street was sparsely populated. The temperature was extremely cold. Even if he was wearing a thick cotton jacket, his hands and feet were cold.
Sun Shaozu rode on a BMW and went to his mansion alone. When he walked to a deserted alley, several figures rushed out, knocked Sun Shaozu unconscious and subdued him in an instant, and threw him in the snow.
After doing all this, the few people cleaned up the traces at the scene and disappeared. In the attic not far away, someone stood in front of the window, staring at Sun Shaozu until Sun Shaozu was frozen and his body was buried by snow. Then he left and went to report.
The next day, Sun Shaozu's body was found. People from Shuntian Prefecture took the body away. After seeing the coroner's inspection, it was confirmed that Sun Shaozu fell off a horse after drinking and froze to death. There was no murder.
When Rongguo Mansion heard the news, except Jia She, who was unwilling to return the five thousand taels of silver to the Sun family, everyone else was happy. Yingchun was so happy that she cried. She felt a sense of relief from breaking the shackles and felt refreshed.
In the Taixu Illusionary Realm, in the Department of Unlucky Life, there is a page in the main book of the Twelve Golden Hairpins, in which a wolf is drawn, chasing a beautiful woman, wanting to eat her. The book says, "The son is a Zhongshan wolf, and he will be rampant when he succeeds." The flower and willow quality in the golden boudoir, one year to Huangliang.
Suddenly, the hungry wolf on the book disappeared, the handwriting disappeared, and the whole paper became blank. The trajectory of fate changed again, and the secrets of heaven were in chaos, which made countless people feel strange.
Fairy Jinghuan looked at the fate of the twelve golden hairpins and changed again. Her face was ashen, no longer as calm and ethereal as before. She pinched the seal in her hand, and a stream of light passed through Lihentian, went to the human world, and landed in a dilapidated temple outside the suburbs of Beijing.
The great master Mangmang was wearing a tattered cassock, had a bald head, and wore a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He was unkempt; Miaomiao Zhenren was born with an extraordinary bone structure, a different spirit, and an ethereal temperament. The two sat in the dilapidated temple, surrounded by dilapidated walls, cobwebs and dust, full of mess.
A stream of light fell from the sky, and the two of them moved slightly. They pinched their hands to call this stream of light, and a pleasant fairy sound sounded, echoing in the dilapidated temple.
"You two should quickly find out what happened in Rongguo Mansion and why the fate of the twelve golden hairpins changed again?!"
The Great Master Mangmang and the Immortal Miaomiao looked at each other, with a bitter look on their faces. They had deliberately met Jia Baoyu before and told him about the marriage between wood and stone, but they did not expect to make things worse and prompted Lin Daiyu and Jia Chang to make an engagement. Now Yingchun has changed again, which is really a headache.
"What should I do?"
The Immortal Miaomiao felt helpless and looked at the Great Master Mangmang, hoping that he could find a way to investigate this matter.
"For now, the only way is to use the spiritual jade to make the attendant Shenying of Rongguo Mansion confused, and we will definitely be able to enter Rongguo Mansion!"
It turned out that when Nuwa was refining stones to repair the sky, she refined 36,501 stubborn stones with a height of 12 feet and a width of 24 feet at the Wuji Cliff of the Great Wilderness Mountain. Empress Wa used only 36,500 pieces, and only one piece was left unused, so she abandoned it at the foot of Qinggeng Peak. Who knew that after the stone was forged, it had spiritual power. Seeing that all the stones were selected to mend the sky, but it was not selected, it complained and sighed, crying and ashamed day and night.
Later, the sky-repairing stone met the great master Mangmang and the real person Miaomiao. After being persuaded by the two, it became worldly and wanted to go to the human world to enjoy the wealth of the world, and became a spiritual jade.
The great master Mangmang and the real person Miaomiao immediately cast a spell, which aroused the spirit of the spiritual jade, blinded Jia Baoyu's mind, and made him fall into a demon.
Rongguo Mansion, Grand View Garden, Yihong Courtyard, Jia Baoyu had just recovered, and before he had time to have fun, he suddenly covered his head and shouted.
"My head hurts!"
"I'm going to die!"
Jia Baoyu jumped up and jumped three or four feet off the ground, shouting and talking nonsense.
Xiren and other maids were frightened and hurried to inform Jia Mu, Wang Furen and others.
Jia Mu and Wang Furen, with a group of maids and servants, rushed into Yihong Courtyard and saw Jia Baoyu holding a knife and a stick, trying to kill himself.
Jia Mu and Wang Furen saw this, their faces were full of worry and distress, and they kept shouting.
"My son!"
"Baoyu, don't scare your grandmother!"
Jia Baoyu was crazy and ignored them at all. Jia Mu and Wang Furen burst into tears, alarming other people in Ning and Rong Mansions.
Jia She, Xing Furen, Jia Zhen, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Yun, Jia Ping, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and other family members, up and down, inside and outside, all the daughters-in-law and maids, came to the garden to see, and it was immediately a mess. Only Lin Daiyu was afraid that Jia Baoyu would make trouble again, so she didn't come.
Jia Zheng looked at the crazy Jia Baoyu and ordered the stewards in his belly to rush over, subdue him and tie him up.
Jia Zheng remembered Jia Chang's method last time, walked in front of Jia Baoyu, raised his right hand, and suddenly dropped it.
"Pah!"
The crisp sound confused everyone, and they just stared blankly at Jia Zheng's right hand rising and falling continuously.
"Pah pah pah!"
After a round of slaps, Jia Baoyu's face was swollen beyond recognition, but he was still crazy, struggling constantly and shouting.
"I'm going to die!"
Jia Zheng was a little puzzled, looking at Jia Mu and asked.
"Why doesn't it work this time?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she also remembered that Jia Chang woke Jia Baoyu up with a few slaps last time, and hurriedly ordered.
"Go and ask Chang Ge'er, only his slaps are effective!"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Jia Mu's statement was very ridiculous, and thought that Jia Mu was also crazy, otherwise why would she say such a ridiculous thing, they were all slaps, what's the difference.
