Chapter 31: The City Gate Welcomes the Seriously Injured Father Back to Beijing



After traveling for two or three cups of tea, the Si family carriage arrived at the north gate of Jianzhou.

General Si Junshan returned to the capital today, and the commander guarding the city gate received orders.

As soon as he saw the Si family's carriage arrive, the captain of the city gate hurried forward and greeted the old lady respectfully through the window curtain, and then let them pass.

A team of carriages rushed out of the city, but they didn't go far and stopped in the shade of trees not far from the city gate.

Si Jinxing glanced at the clock in the pharmacy. It was nine o'clock in the morning.

Although it is autumn now, it is much cooler in the morning and evening, but it is still very hot during the day. The autumn heat is always very severe!

Si Jinxing lifted the curtains and saw that the masters of each room were hiding in the carriage to avoid the heat, so she was too lazy to go down.

She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but in fact her mind had already entered Xinglin Yaxu. She must organize the pharmacy on the first floor today.

In case of any emergency, she will need it!

After all, my mother Lan’s dowry really takes up a lot of space!

The pharmacy is not big, about 80 square meters, and is divided into two areas.

There is a small treatment room on the left side of the entrance, and two rows of medicine counters and two rows of shelves on the right side.

Si Jinxing first moved the counter half a meter against the wall, and then placed the shelves in one place.

The folding bed in the treatment room was also put away.

There is a large open space in the middle of the entire pharmacy.

Should be enough for the dowry, right?

Si Jinxing was very satisfied with the "fruits of his labor", when suddenly he heard a "click"!

She thought it was a sound coming from the outside world, so she ignored it.

At this moment, someone shouted:

It's the general's carriage! Look, it's the general's carriage!

This shout alarmed everyone in the Si family!

At once, all the masters of the houses got off their carriages and looked towards the distance on the official road with great excitement.

I saw several soldiers riding on black horses, surrounding a carriage and slowly running towards the city gate!

Finally, the carriage came closer, and Si Jinxing saw the soldiers on horseback from afar. Their faces were full of anxiety and even a bit of sadness.

The army endured for three years and finally won the victory, but there was no joy on their faces!

It seems that the injury of that cheap father is more serious than expected!

The old lady was supported by Mother Lu and walked forward a few steps. She looked at the carriage with tears in her eyes and said with a trembling mouth:

"Is Junshan back? My son! In the past, he always returned victoriously riding a tall horse to the capital, but today..."

The old lady lost her husband early in life and raised three children alone.

Si Junshan is the eldest brother, and he has a younger brother and a younger sister, neither of whom are in Jianzhou.

Over the years, the old lady has only been taking care of her eldest son Si Junshan.

A month ago, I learned that the eldest son was seriously injured on the battlefield and had to return ahead of the army to receive treatment.

She almost couldn't breathe at that time!

Although she was just a woman living in a deep house, she knew that the commander-in-chief was the backbone of the entire army.

If he wasn't seriously injured and his life was not in danger, he would never act like this!

She was very scared, fearing that she would die young and go to hell in the future!

Si Jinyue held the old lady's arm, with a sad look on her face, and comforted her:

"Grandmother, don't be sad. The Third Prince has already gone to the palace to invite the imperial physician this morning! Father's injury will definitely be cured!"

The old lady patted the back of Si Jinyue's hand, turned her head and saw her eyes were red, she sighed and said:

"Good boy, your father loves you well!"

Si Jinyun stood beside Zhou and saw Si Jinyue's expression and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Here we go again! Here we go again!

Big sister, what can you do if you don't pretend? It just makes you look sensible!

Si Jinxing stood with Wen, Si Jinyi and Si Jinheng. She saw all of Si Jinyun's little movements.

The third young lady of the Si family is quite interesting. It turns out that she dislikes her eldest sister!

Soon, the carriage came closer to the Si family.

A soldier on a black horse came galloping over and stopped five meters in front of the old lady.

The man dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted, saying:

"Madam, the general is seriously injured and needs to return to the capital for treatment. Does your residence have an imperial physician?"

At this time, the old lady had already burst into tears and could not utter a word.

Seeing this, Zhou quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes. The Third Prince has already invited several imperial physicians to the General's Mansion to wait! Let's return home quickly!"

She was still hoping that the general might not be as serious as the letter said.

But now it seems that such a brave man can't even get out of the carriage?

For some reason, she suddenly remembered what her youngest daughter said: Si Jinxing is the scourge that brings unrest to the Si family!

She subconsciously glanced in the direction of Si Jinxing.

Ever since this girl returned to Beijing, nothing good has happened in the General's Mansion!

At this time, Si Junshan's carriage slowly stopped in front of everyone.

The old lady wanted to get on Si Junshan's carriage to take a look, but she heard the driver stop her and say:

"Old Madam, don't look! The General is in a very bad condition right now!"

The old lady refused to listen. She was afraid they were just trying to comfort her. She wanted to make sure her son was still alive.

With trembling hands, she opened the tightly closed carriage door!

But it rushed towards him, carrying a strong smell of rotten flesh and blood!

For a moment, everyone in the Si family was stunned!

Many people even took a few steps back and covered their mouths and noses!

"General!" Zhou couldn't bear it any longer. She leaned on the shaft of the carriage and burst into tears!

"Get up and look at me and our children!"

Her plump body made the carriage creak.
