When Qin Hui and his wife came back this time, they were accompanied by a Jin man named Gao Yigong. Jin Wushu worked steadily and asked Gao Yigong to bring a large amount of wealth and calligraphy and paintings plundered from the people of the Song Dynasty. They walked separately from Qin Hui and others, one to monitor Qin Hui, and the other to assist Qin Hui. Qin Hui was actually under the supervision of Gao Yigong and his wife. If he was not careful, he might die unexpectedly, so he had to serve the fourth prince wholeheartedly.
Wang Junhua immediately contacted Gao Yigong and took a large amount of treasures, calligraphy and paintings from him. The first step he wanted to visit was the medical officer Wang Jixian. At this time, because Wang Jixian controlled the fate of the official family's "sexual happiness", Zhao Deji made an exception and appointed him as a medical officer. He was named a fifth-grade military attaché. His official position was not high, but he was very arrogant. It was common for him to accept bribes, and he was indifferent to people with higher official positions than him.
Hearing that Wang Junhua was visiting, he was not there at first, but when he saw the servant presented a large number of calligraphy and paintings that he liked, he immediately changed his expression. When Wang Junhua was in the Kingdom of Jin, he had already developed a super flattering skill in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. When he saw Wang Jixian , Wanfu said: "Master Wang is truly the pillar of the country."
Ministers of pillars and stones are used to describe prime ministers, famous generals and the like; the status of medical officers is not high in the first place, and the highest level is only sixth grade. When Wang Jixian heard Wang Junhua's compliment, he laughed and said, "Wang Shuo is a man of praise."
Wang Shuoren is the imperial title that Wang Junhua received before he followed Qin Hui. It is a title for the noble wife. Wang Junhua immediately said: "Master Wang's skillful skills take care of the health of the official family. If the official family is healthy, the world will be healthy. The civil and military officials of the dynasty, who can compare with Wang Shuoren?" Sir, is it important? If Sir Wang is not a minister of Zhu Shi, who can be regarded as a minister of Zhu Shi? "
This flattery was so flawless that Wang Jixian laughed loudly: "There are so many noble ladies, and there is really no one with as much knowledge as Mr. Wang Shuo."
Wang Junhua "hit it off immediately" with him, and struck while the iron was hot, saying: "Master Wang's surname is Wang, and his own family is also a king. Five hundred years ago, the same family might as well become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex."
"Okay, okay, I recognize you as my sister."
When Qin Hui saw his wife taking action, he immediately became sworn brothers and sisters with Wang Jixian. He was also active at this time and opened up connections with some civil servants. These people, intentionally or unintentionally, started to make remarks, saying that Qin Hui returned from the disaster and was like "Su Wu".
When Qin Hui saw that the time was right, he went to meet the emperor.
This was the first meeting between the new emperor Zhao Deji and Qin Hui. Before this, he had no impression of the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty.
When they met, Qin Hui knelt on the ground and didn't say anything. He just cried bitterly and was speechless.
When Zhao Deji saw him acting like this, he thought that this person was quite honest, so he asked him to stand up and said, "It is rare for you to be able to care about your homeland."
Qin Hui stammered and said: "I have a narrow escape from death, but I'm so lucky to be able to see Tianyan today."
Zhao Deji's affection for him deepened. He thought to himself that this man was not good at words. Wang Jixian and others said that he was honest and honest. It seemed that he was really so. He said: "You have been unyielding in the north. When you come back today, you will be the leader of the country." Fortunately, you are familiar with the ins and outs of the Jin Kingdom, so you might as well talk about it."
Qin Hui, through Wang Jixian and others, had already understood the emperor's intentions at this time. He knew that since the "rebellion", he had not minced words to seek peace with Jin Gengzhu, so he said: "During the Jingkang disaster, the humble minister relied on a He fought with enthusiasm and passion. After being captured, he arrived at the Kingdom of Jin, only to realize that the army of the Kingdom of Jin was strong and all the people were soldiers. Now, if we, the Song Dynasty, use troops rashly, it will be unreasonable. We might as well rest and recuperate, and wait until the country is rich and the people are strong, and then we can try to restore the country. "
His words were ambiguous, but they suited Zhao Deji's thoughts deeply, so he said: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have sent envoys many times to seek peace, but the captors were rude and detained many times."
Qin Hui naturally knew that Zong Han had detained Yu Wenxuzhong and his party, so he followed Jin Wushu's instructions and said: "Now that Zong Han is in power in the Kingdom of Jin, he does not respect the wolf lord, is ambitious, and wants to fight. Only the fourth prince Jin Wushu accepted it. You have surrendered to pressure, advocated for peace with all your heart, and won the trust of the Wolf Lord. I foolishly thought that Your Majesty might as well write to the Fourth Prince and let the Fourth Prince convey it to the Wolf Lord, and you will definitely gain something."
Although Zhao Deji hated Jin Wushu very much, Qin Hui's suggestion was reasonable, so he happily said: "In that case, you might as well ask Huaixi General Liu Guang to write to the fourth prince."
According to Jin Wushu's intention, he wanted Zhao Deji to write it himself, but at this time Zhao Deji lowered the specifications, so Qin Hui naturally did not dare to fight for it, so he agreed.
Zhao Deji said: "You and I hit it off like old friends. Now is the time to employ people. I will specially appoint you as the Minister of Rites and stay in the court."
Qin Hui was overjoyed, and he knelt down to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty loves me so much, I dare not do my best!"
When Qin Hui was in the capital receiving praise and courtesy as if "Su Wu" had returned, Yue Pengju and Hua Rong, who were far away in Elong Town, finally got the news.
… …
Since Hua Rong could not move around, Yue Pengju chose a very beautiful place thirty miles outside Elong Town, found an abandoned cabin, and repaired it a little, and the couple lived here. I will rest for a while and wait until Hua Rong gets better before setting off for Xiangyang.
Yue Pengju couldn't bear to be disturbed and didn't want anyone to serve him, so Zhang Xian insisted and sent two guards to cook, sweep, and serve as guards. After staying here, Yue Pengju discovered a big advantage. In front of this northern border town was a lush forest. , there are tigers, bears, leopards, jackals and other wild beasts coming out from time to time. He learned from the military doctor that tiger bones and bear bile are a holy medicine for healing. It is more effective than ordinary Ganoderma lucidum for internal injuries. One day, he heard the roar of a tiger and took a spear. Go hunting.
Hua Rong was worried about his safety, but knew that dissuasion was ineffective. Yue Pengju went on his first expedition and hunted a tiger cub back. Two guards took care of it and ate the tiger meat. The tiger bones were given to Hua Rong as prescribed by the doctor. From then on, every three days On Chawu, Yue Pengju would go hunting some leopards, bears and the like and come back. He was highly skilled in martial arts and had great strength. He rarely failed. Soon, Hua Rong had big and comfortable tiger and bear skins. .
Although the weather in the north is midsummer, the nights are often cooler, so Yue Pengju spreads tiger and bear skins on the large earthen kang, making Hua Rong comfortable whether he is sitting or lying down.
One day, he hunted a big bear. He couldn't carry it alone, so he had to cut off the bear's paws, cut off part of the fresh meat, skinned the bear, and carried it back. Fighting with this kind of bear, he received a blow on his left chest. The punch could no longer hide the wound. When he came back, Hua Rong saw that he was seriously injured and felt angry and distressed, so he refused to let him go hunting again.
Yue Pengju didn't take it seriously, and he didn't argue with his wife. Seeing that bear paws, tiger bones, etc. could still last for a while, he rested for a few days and only waited until they were used up before going back.
Every half a month, someone would send a bag of good Ganoderma lucidum to the military camp in Elong Town and hand it over to Hua Rong. Hua Rong knew it must be the work of King Qin, but the person who sent the Ganoderma lucidum always put it down and left without leaving it. Hua Rong was helpless about any clues. One day, he suddenly remembered that King Qin once said that the old wolf master had some "thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum", and he was worried that if this idiot really went to steal it, it would be a narrow escape from death. He was always thinking about it in his heart and did not dare to rest assured.
However, she did not dare to tell the old wolf master's "Millennium Ganoderma". She knew Yue Pengju's temperament. If he knew about it, he would never sit idly by and would definitely go and steal it. She did not want Yue Pengju to be involved in danger. Moreover, at this moment, She really couldn't leave Yue Pengju, both mentally and physically. Not to mention the danger of going there, she was afraid that she would die as soon as Yue Pengju left. Wouldn't it mean that heaven and man would be separated forever? Therefore, she was extremely anxious and had no choice but to pray that the King of Qin would return to the sea quickly and never take risks because of her own desperation.
Yue Pengju saw someone regularly sending Ganoderma lucidum. Like Hua Rong, he knew it was King Qin. Although he hated King Qin, he also knew that this man was a rare idiot in the world. He had been entangled with Hua Rong for nearly ten years, and sometimes He is extremely vicious and sometimes tough and tender, and no one is sure what he will be like one day. Although he guessed that King Qin was on the border of Song and Jin Dynasty, otherwise he would not be able to buy so many high-quality Ganoderma lucidum, but King Qin came and went like this. Feng, no one could do anything about Yanjing. He went to Beijing to search for people on the streets, so he had to let him go.
Yue Pengju resigned when he was most determined. He stayed in Elong Town, killing tigers and bears every day in order to cure his wife. At this time, let alone the Ganoderma lucidum sent by King Qin, even if it was sent by the Demon King, as long as Being able to treat his wife is also welcome. He only arranged for his guards to fry it for her and take it daily. In this way, he used bear paws, tiger bones, etc. and Ganoderma lucidum as a two-pronged approach. Over time, Hua Rong's injury improved significantly, and he became more energetic day by day. , I can even stand up and take a few steps slowly.
The couple lived in a small house, sometimes eating porridge and side dishes, sometimes eating tiger meat and bear meat and drinking tiger bone soup; in their free time, they read and wrote, occasionally worked hard, and also painted. Another great improvement of Yue Pengju was that he learned to cook Tea. There is a mountain spring behind the hut. The spring water is cold and delicious. It is the best water for making tea. Although the tea set for sencha no longer has the high-quality Jun kiln that the emperor rewarded in the temporary palace of Yingtian in the past, but it can be used casually. When the iron pot is fried, it is also a great pleasure to watch the boiling water gurgling. Every time it is fried, Hua Rong only takes a sip and always laughs happily.
After wandering as a child and serving as a soldier as an adult, Yue Pengju had never lived such a leisurely life. He actually found it so interesting and not boring at all.
One day, Hua Rong saw him practicing calligraphy with great interest and asked him, "Pengju, isn't this boring?"
He looked up at his wife. She was sitting cross-legged on a large rough chair, covered with tiger skin. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on her bit by bit. He saw her originally pale face. Slowly, a trace of blushing returned, and she raised her face, holding her chin in her hands, with a focused expression, and her brows and eyes were full, like a living scroll.
He felt his heartbeat a little, and looked at his wife - her heartbeat quickened. He quietly put down the brush, walked over, put his hand on the chair, squatted down, surrounded her completely, and smiled: "I really like living this kind of life, with No matter what you do together, I feel full of fun."
His eyes were sincere and gentle. Hua Rong sighed secretly and reached out to touch the wounds on his chest. Then he looked at the blood marks on his hands. In order to hunt tigers and bears, he didn't know how many injuries he had suffered these days. For For a man who has determined to be a general since childhood, what kind of perseverance does it take to give up his promising military career as a "Xuanfu Envoy" and live in seclusion in this deserted place with a disabled woman
