The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 110: Wu Niang's life hangs by a thread

Gu Jinfan is considered a relatively well-known figure in Jiujie. Firstly, he was born in the Mansion of Duke Xin, and he was the first to enter the Medical Department when no one else paid attention to it.

Secondly, she took Master Tong, one of the most powerful pharmacists in the Medical Bureau, as her teacher, and had an extraordinary talent for alchemy. When many experienced pharmacists could only make ordinary pills, she was able to make magical pills.

Third, the Xin Guo Mansion has been developing rapidly recently. It has made fruitful gains in the Kunlun Mountain ruins some time ago. It is said that the Xin Guo Mansion also has its own secret realm in its hands.

Because of these reasons, Gu Jinfan has always been a noticeable presence in the Medical Department. Now seeing her so excited about a female errand boy, everyone is very curious about the errand boy's origins.

Feeling everyone's stare, Hua Changxi frowned and turned her head to look at the bearded Zhu Yu among the servants. It was this man who had called out to her just now.

When Zhu Yu saw her looking at him, he smiled awkwardly, looking a little apologetic.

Hua Changxi retracted his gaze and saw that Gu Jinfan was still looking at him, so he couldn't help but ask, "Madam Gu Qi, is there anything else?"

Gu Jinfan approached Hua Changxi and whispered, "You got the cultivation method from the Suzaku Power Stone, right?"

Hua Changxi's eyes flashed. It turned out that the red stone she threw into the magma was the Suzaku Stone.

Passing stone.
No wonder she obtained the method of practicing Suzaku breathing after touching the red stone. This turned out to be the reason.

Seeing that Hua Changxi did not respond, Gu Jinfan wanted to confirm her guess, so she gathered the spiritual power in her hands and attacked Hua Changxi fiercely.

Hua Changxi didn't expect Gu Jinfan to suddenly attack her. She formed her five fingers into claws and grabbed Gu Jinfan's wrist. Her eyes were cold and she said, "Madam Gu Qi, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Jinfan looked at Hua Changxi who was holding him tightly and was shocked. Hua Changxi actually blocked his attack so easily.

"You are really lucky."

"Suzaku Divine Art" is the most powerful fire-based cultivation technique in the Four Spirit Realms. She had longed for it for two lifetimes but failed to obtain it, but Hua Changxi obtained it easily.

No matter how unwilling Gu Jinfan was, she had no choice. Living her life over again, she knew more than others, but she could not control everything.

"A high starting point does not mean you can go far. Hua Changxi, I hope you don't disgrace that technique."

Gu Jinfan gathered his spiritual power, withdrew his hand, and left.

Hua Changxi looked at her back, feeling displeased.

As soon as this person appeared, she acted like a judge, as if her existence had to be recognized by her.

She obtained the skills in the Suzaku Teleportation Stone by chance, but she almost paid the price with her life. Whether it was humiliating or not, it was none of her business!
She arrived in a shocking manner and left in a clean and decisive manner, but she was left to face the scrutiny and inquiry from the eyes of those around her.

I hate dealing with such troublesome people!

Fortunately, the director came down from the stairs.

Everyone's attention finally shifted from Hua Changxi to the director.

"I called you here today to ask who among you has taken the wooden sign of the old courtyard in the square. Those who have taken it must register with me."

The director had not expected that so many people had been to the old house, including many children of powerful people and even the royal family. It was impossible to use any means to interrogate them, so he just asked directly to the point.

"Don't worry, I won't confiscate the wooden sign. I'll just register it to facilitate the future management of the Medical Department."

Seeing that no one came forward to admit that they had taken the wooden plaque, the director thought for a moment and stepped up his voice, saying, "The Medical Department will be reorganized soon, and those who have wooden plaques will be given priority in job placement."

"For example, a position like the Ninth Street Master can only be held by someone who has a wooden sign."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted and started discussing in low voices.

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered. It seemed that the director was determined to find out who took the wooden sign. He was even promising a position publicly.

Seeing that everyone was discussing enthusiastically but no one stood up, the director said, "If you don't register now, it will be too late to take out the wooden sign when I have arranged the positions in various places."

There was a moment of silence.

When the director saw it, he laughed and said, "The wooden badge is just a proof of identity. If you want to hide it, just hide it." With that, he prepared to take Yuan Tianchou and Mu Qingying away.

"Director!"

At this time someone stood up.

In the crowd of disciples, a young man in his twenties came out holding a wooden sign. He walked in front of the director and bowed, "Greetings, Director. I am Shen Qianfan, a disciple who was lucky enough to get a wooden sign."

The director looked at Shen Qianfan with a satisfied smile, glanced at the wooden sign in his hand, and asked Yuan Tianchou behind him to register: "Is there anyone else who wants to come up and register?"

"Director, I also have a wooden sign."

Hua Changxi walked over with the tenth wooden sign without sword pattern.

When Gu Qiming saw Hua Changxi standing out, there was no surprise in his eyes. He had found out clearly that it was this girl who pushed open the gate of the old courtyard.

He was very curious, how did she push open the gate?
"I heard that you were giving lectures in the courtyard behind the Servants' Hall?"

"Yes, Chief."

"Why do you want to give lectures to errand boys?"

"Because I'm in charge, the servants often get injured when they clean and prepare the herbs. I tell them about the medicinal properties of the herbs and the cleaning and preparation methods, so they can get hurt less and work better for the Medical Bureau."

"It seems that you are very confident in your medical skills. You know, the doctors and pharmacists in the Ninth Street don't dare to give lectures to people casually. I am a little curious. You are not yet a marriageable woman, right? Where did you get all these medical skills?"

"My family runs a pharmacy, and I have a photographic memory since I was a child. I can remember any medical book I have read once. After entering the Medical Department, I have come into contact with so many medicinal herbs, and I know even more. This knowledge is more than enough to instruct the servants."

"Director, can't I give lectures to the servants?"

Gu Qiming looked at Hua Changxi who responded calmly and asked him questions in return, his eyes flickering: "No, just talk about it. When I am free, I will also go to listen to your class."

"If you do a good job, I will ask all the doctors and pharmacists in the Ninth Street to come and listen to your lecture."

Hua Changxi showed joy on her face: "The director is so optimistic about me, then I must work hard and live up to the director's expectations."

Gu Qiming: “.”

Yuan Tianchou and Mu Qingying, who were standing behind him, looked at Hua Changxi with admiration as he climbed up the pole, and thought to themselves, he is indeed a tough guy who dares to arm wrestle with the Jinyiwei!
The other people present also had different expressions. How outrageous it was for a servant to want to give lectures to the doctors and pharmacists of Ninth Street!
Seeing that he couldn't suppress Hua Changxi's arrogance, Gu Qiming was about to try to suppress it again when someone else came out.

A young lady of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked out of the apprentice hall team.

"Greetings, Director. I am the apprentice Zhu Qinghuan, and I was lucky enough to get a wooden plaque."

Gu Qiming looked at Zhu Qinghuan, then at the wooden sign in her hand, and then looked at Hua Changxi and Shen Qianfan.

He didn't expect that people from the Servants' Hall, Apprentices' Hall, and Disciple Hall all received wooden plaques.

Before this, he actually didn't pay much attention to these three places. He focused more on Ninth Street. Unexpectedly, when investigating the wooden signs this time, these three places would be the first to come up.

Yes, the pharmacists and doctors in the Ninth Street either have someone behind them or have their own power. Even if they have taken the wooden plaque, they will not expose it so straightforwardly. In addition to Shen Qianfan, Hua Changxi, and Zhu Qinghuan who stood up today, the owners of the nine wooden plaques are known. The owners of the remaining nine wooden plaques.
Gu Qiming's gaze fell on the gathered team on Ninth Street. The other nine wooden signs were most likely in the hands of these people.

However, these people are fearless and will not be as easily instigated as Shen Qianfan and his two companions. They will take the bait as soon as a little bait is placed.

Oh, I have a headache.

It would take him a lot of effort to find out who took the other nine wooden signs.

Knowing that no one would come forward to admit to taking the wooden sign, Gu Qiming praised Shen Qianfan and the other two in public, promised to arrange positions for them in the future, and then dismissed everyone.

Everyone went back to their own homes, and when it was time to disperse, the people from Ninth Street and the Disciple Hall walked together in groups of three or four, while the Apprentice Hall and the Miscellaneous Services Hall acted as a whole, with few people leaving the team.

There was no obvious leader in the Apprentice Hall, so everyone stuck together instinctively; but the people in the Menial Services Hall all followed Hua Changxi.

Gu Qiming looked at this scene and narrowed his eyes.

He might have underestimated the influence of Hua Changxi's lectures in the Servants' Hall. Although there were only about twenty servants here today, judging from the fact that they spontaneously followed Hua Changxi's lead, the servants in the Servants' Hall had obviously regarded her as their backbone.

"This girl is not simple!"

Gu Qiming took Yuan Tianchou and Mu Qingying back to his office, and then began to order: "Go, immediately investigate the situation of Shen Qianfan, Hua Changxi, and Zhu Qinghuan. Not only their family background, but also all their relationships in the Medical Department."

Like Gu Qiming, Gu Jinfan also ordered his men to investigate Hua Changxi: "I want to know everything that happened to Hua Changxi after he entered the Medical Department. Nothing should be left out."

The person who should have died is still alive. Hua Changxi is a variable. She must know everything about her.

When they returned from the First Street, the morning lecture time had already passed. Hua Changxi called twenty servants with talent in alchemy to go to the No. 6 Qihuang Hall to teach them how to refine ordinary pills.

These people were the alchemists she was going to arrange to work at the Shennong Herbal Medicine Store branch.

After these twenty people started to work, she went into the side room, set up an isolation formation, and began to refine the elixir.

Just after refining five furnaces of elixir, Yu Hui's voice rang out in the yard: "Sister Changxi, someone is looking for you."

Hua Changxi stopped refining the elixir and walked out of the house: "Who's looking for me?"

Yu Hui pulled Hua Changxi and whispered, "They are from the Disciple Hall. They said they are from the Wuyi Marquis's Mansion."

"Wu Yihou Mansion?"

Isn’t this Wu Niang’s in-laws’ home?
Hua Changxi asked quickly: "Where is the person?"

Yu Hui: "I didn't dare to bring them to the Qihuang Hall. I asked them to wait in the warehouse."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi hurried to the warehouse with Yu Hui. Soon, they saw two young ladies who were not much older than her. She had seen one of them before. She was the young lady who smiled at her in the square when the Minister of Tianbu came to the Medical Bureau.

"You are?"

He Sirong and He Siqi first exchanged greetings with Hua Changxi, and then introduced themselves: "I am He Sirong, the second lady of the Wuyi Marquis's Mansion, and this is my fourth sister He Siqi."

Hua Changxi returned the greeting: "You came to see me, but what happened to my fifth sister?"

He Sirong didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Aunt Hua fell yesterday and gave birth prematurely."

Hua Changxi's expression changed: "Is my fifth sister okay?"

He Sirong shook her head: "When we came to the Medical Department this morning, Aunt Hua had not yet given birth to the child."

In other words, Hua Wuniang tried to give birth to the child all night but still couldn't.

Hua Changxi realized that Hua Wuniang was in critical condition, so he turned around and was about to leave. After taking a few steps, he looked back at the He sisters and said, "Thank you for coming to tell me about my fifth sister."

After saying that, he trotted away.

Looking at Hua Changxi's receding back, He Siqi looked at He Sirong with some worry: "Second sister, is it appropriate for us to interfere in the affairs of Third Uncle's room?"

He Sirong: "Didn't Third Uncle tell us to have more contact with Hua Changxi? If we have more contact, how could we not mention Aunt Hua?"

He Siqi thought of the weak and patient Concubine Hua and sighed, "I wonder if Concubine Hua can give birth to a child safely?"

He Sirong's eyes sparkled: "The child in Aunt Hua's belly is the offspring that Third Uncle has been waiting for for a long time. Even if Third Aunt is dissatisfied, she will let the child be born. As for Aunt Hua, it depends on whether Hua Changxi can get there in time."

In a small courtyard behind the third main courtyard of the Wuyi Marquis's Mansion, basins of blood were constantly being brought out from the east wing, and maids and old women were rushing in and out.

When other women were giving birth, they would scream in agony, but at this moment, not a single sound could be heard from the woman in labor in the east wing.

Mr. He Sanye sat in the yard with a gloomy face, his eyes fixed on the east wing.

Next to him sat the silent Mrs. He San.

"Third Master, Aunt Hua has no strength left. Should we save the adult or the child?"

A midwife ran out with blood on her hands and looked at Master He San anxiously.

Uncle He San pursed his lips, looking hesitant and struggling.

Madam He San looked at him and said, "Master San, if you don't make a decision, both Aunt Hua and the child will be in danger."

Mr. He San looked at Mrs. He San and said through gritted teeth, "Save the child."

The midwife exclaimed "Ah!" and was about to go into the house when she saw someone descending from the sky on a cloud, blocking her way.

When Hua Changxi heard Mr. He Sanye's words "save the child", he looked at him coldly and quickly turned into the east wing.

"Who are you? Get out!"

Someone in the room screamed loudly.

Then, Mr. He San and Mrs. He San in the yard felt an invisible force coming from the east wing. The next moment, all the maids and servants who were delivering babies in the room flew out, fell to the ground with bangs, and all passed out.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

Even Mr. He San was shocked by the look Hua Changxi just gave him. Although Hua Changxi didn't say anything, he understood her eyes. If anything happened to Aunt Hua, someone would have to pay with her life.

"Third Master."

Only after hearing his wife's trembling voice did Mr. He come back to his senses from his fright.

Madam He San looked at him and asked, "Master San, were you the one who notified the Hua family?"

Hearing this, Mr. He San's eyes suddenly lit up. He walked out of the yard quickly and told Manager Kong, who was waiting outside the yard, to quickly notify the Hua family.

"In addition to the Hua family, Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion and Hua Tai's family must also be notified. Go quickly."

Manager Kong also saw that Hua Changxi came riding on a cloud. Knowing how difficult it was to deal with this young lady, he knew that if Aunt Hua died, the young lady would probably make a big fuss, so he hurried to notify people.
