Si Junhong had no choice but to go there in person.
Just as he walked to the gate of the county lady's mansion next door, he saw six sword-wielding guards standing outside the gate.
She was smiling and was about to walk up the stairs when she heard the wooden door creak open and the doorman came out with a wolfhound.
The servant glanced at the visitor and said:
"My young lady said she won't see any guests these days. Please go back."
Si Junhong glanced at the wolfhound and saw it growling. He didn't dare to do anything rash and could only say in a gentle voice:
"My dear brother, I am your young lady's aunt. I have an urgent matter and need her help. Please go and inform her!"
As she spoke, she took out a few copper coins and wanted to hand them to the doorman.
But unexpectedly, the servant didn't even look at it, but just said:
"Aunt? The people have been blocking the outside of the mansion these past two days. Why haven't you come to help?"
It can be seen that whether she is an aunt or not is not that rare.”
Si Junhong was so stunned by the servant's words that she couldn't say anything. She naturally knew that the county lady's mansion was surrounded every day.
She even made a bet with He Youchan that King Mo Ying would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and would refuse her marriage proposal!
She smiled awkwardly and said, "Little brother, you'd better go and inform them quickly."
At this time, in the Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Princess Yuan Qiuzhi of Hanlan, who had just been released from the Southern Prison of Jingzhao Prefecture, raised her head and said to the seated Emperor Chongde:
“Before I came here, my father said that Longyin is a country of etiquette.
Now, my eyes have been opened.
Since the peace talks failed, just let us go home. But King Mo Ying actually imprisoned me for a mere woman!
Please give an explanation to Emperor Longyin!"
Emperor Chongde smiled and said:
"Princess, as the jewel in the crown of King Hanlan, you naturally have everything you want in Hanlan.
But I, the Princess of Longyin County, am not someone whom the princess can humiliate whenever she wants!
King Mo Ying is a righteous man, and the county lady is not only his future queen, but also a subject of our Longyin!
King Mo Ying is protecting his own people, what's wrong with that?"
Yuan Qiuzhi stayed in the Southern Prison for four days. Her subordinates took advantage of the disturbance to contact and search for their secret agents in Jianzhou.
But they found that all the piles that had been hidden for many years had been destroyed!
Now, she was just trying to hold on and deal with Emperor Longyin:
"Okay, then let's not talk about detaining me for now.
Just talk about my sincerity in the peace talks!
I am the apple of my father's eye, and I have come personally to marry you, yet you have never given me an answer. Why is that?"
Speaking of marriage alliance, Emperor Chongde leaned back slightly and looked at Qi Moli below with interest.
Of course, he has to solve the problem himself!
Seeing this, Qi Moli was not vague. He looked Yuan Qiuzhi up and down and said bluntly:
"Princess, the peace talks are a matter of mutual consent, and the marriage is even more so.
If this king wants to protect the people of Longyin, it is naturally feasible for him to temporarily make peace with you through marriage.
But, what about after getting married?
If I have to face your ugly and rough face every day, I am afraid that it will deepen the conflict between my dynasty and Han Lan!
In the end, I still have to lead my troops north, but I'm afraid... I'll let the princess down!"
The Hanlan envoys were all furious, but King Mo Ying's next words made their faces darken even more:
"It's true that the Hanlan Iron Cavalry is the overlord of the north.
But, so what?
The princess has failed many times at my hands, and the Feiyu Army was defeated by me, the Marquis of Longyin Pingguan, oh, that is, General Si Junshan!
Since you want to negotiate, go back and prepare a list of tribute and send it over.
Oh, remember, don't send women here. They all have thick skin and rough faces, and Longyin doesn't want them!"
Qi Moli's words made the Hanlan envoys' veins pop out and their faces darken!
Qi Nanyue clenched his hands in his sleeves slightly, then loosened them. He was afraid that this would not work!
Two days later, on a cloudy and windy day, Envoy Han Lan left Jianzhou City dejectedly.
But the rumors in the city still haven't completely subsided!
There are still many people who believe that the failure of the peace talks between Han Lan and Long Yin was all due to the evil woman Si Jinxing!
Si Jinxing's several shops were harassed and smashed by the people.
Many people took rotten eggs and vegetable leaves and threw them at the door, and some even splashed black dog blood and feces and urine!
At Si Jinxing's command, all shops were closed, but regular wages were still paid!
This made the guys in the shop very happy!
The life they live now is something they never imagined before.
Not only is the monthly income twice as much as other shops!
There are eight paid days off every month, and during holidays, dim sum gift boxes from Tangshui Tea Restaurant will be distributed!
What excites them most is:
If you or your family members are sick, you can go to Jirentang to get medicine and medical treatment for free!
You know, Jirentang is a place that even the imperial doctors in the palace highly praise!
Especially the county lady’s magical pills, potions, and powders, which would show quick effects after just a few doses!
The shop assistants were on holiday, the doors of the shop were locked, and the people who had been causing trouble gradually stopped going there.
And Si Jinxing has really become a rich lady who never leaves the house in recent days.
She cleared out a yard and set up a small classroom, where she taught Gu Keying and Song Xiner about Western medicine theory and practice every day.
Including internal medicine, surgery, nursing, obstetrics and gynecology, anatomy...
There was a lot to learn, so she could only explain it systematically first and then teach it in detail.
Fortunately, both Song and Gu had some medical knowledge, and they could understand it much faster than ordinary people!
And today, Si Junhong finally got his wish and met Si Jinxing.
This time she came, she always had a smile on her face. Although I don’t know whether it was true or not, she looked much more honest!
Si Jinxing glanced at her and asked, "Mrs. He, what's the matter?"
Si Junhong smiled awkwardly, not daring to say anything else. It was her aunt's words, so she just said:
"Xing'er, your brother is seriously injured and can't move. He also has a high fever that keeps coming back.
Auntie heard from the imperial physician that you are a very skilled doctor, so I think there is a way to save Hao'er!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing looked at Gu Keying's notes without even raising his head and said:
"Why should I help him? What benefits can I gain?
Besides, Madam He, please ask around. My consultation fee starts at ten thousand taels of silver!"
When Si Junhong heard this, he wanted to curse. This damn girl is simply a robber!
A medical consultation costs ten thousand taels of silver? Look at how capable she is!
But how could she dare to say these words out loud?
In the end, Si Jinxing agreed to visit the Si Mansion for 15,000 taels of silver!
After she finished reading it, she exclaimed that Si Junshan had been ruthless this time!
She glanced at Si Junhong, who was looking expectant, and said:
"I can only guarantee that he will be able to stand on his wedding day!"
