incense as a medium

Chapter 78 Don't be too shameless

"What Mrs. Qi said is true. Come and collect plant ashes! Send the order down, and from now on, the wound medicines will be collected to treat the seriously wounded, and the rest will be treated with plant ash to stop the bleeding first, and then the medicine will be applied." The magistrate Du adults led the people to appear at the door, While inspecting the situation of the wounded, he said to Du Shuang: "Shuang'er, not only Yongkang Pass is besieged now, but the Tatars at Kangding Pass are also eyeing the city. In addition, there are tens of thousands of Tatar troops ready to go outside Xiongtang County. If General Kang leads the army to rescue Yongkang Pass, Kangding Pass will be besieged, and Xiongtang County will also be surrounded by the Tatar cavalry. Stepping on the ground. We can only hold on, and the number of injuries will only increase, so we have no choice now."

Du Shuang looked at Mrs. Du, nodded slowly after a long time, and then said: "Then first use plant ash to stop the bleeding, wash with strong wine before applying medicine to bandage."

"Okay." Master Du nodded, this is also a way to save money. Seeing that the wounded here are arranged very well, he asked Liu Bailu: "Is that woman outside the girl of the Qi family?"

Liu Bailu nodded and said, "It's my sister-in-law."

"Very nice girl, do you agree to kiss?" Master Du asked suddenly.

Liu Bailu couldn't figure out what he meant for a while, but Qi Pei'an was fifteen years old, and it was time to say that he was getting married, but Qi Ding didn't mean Qi Pei'an to say that he was married at all. Could it be that she was at home? Be an old girl?

She has also seen Qi Pei'an's performance today, she is much better than herself, if the magistrate intervenes, she might be able to help find a good relative.

Liu Bailu pondered for a moment, then said: "Not engaged yet."

Master Du stroked his beard and looked at Qi Pei'an, who was busy back and forth in the yard, and asked, "I don't know what old lady Qi means?"

Liu Bailu's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he didn't answer.But Master Du also understood and shook his head secretly.

Wouldn't Du Shuang know what her father's plan was?She pulled Mrs. Du aside and said in a low voice: "Father, Miss Qi is a concubine, and my mother will definitely not allow my elder brother to find a wife from a concubine, not to mention that Miss Qi has a weak body and a sallow complexion, and her bones are definitely not much better. , such a thin girl, will she die in the future when she gets married and has children? Taking a step back, this Miss Qi family is a good one. Even if Young Master Qi has a good relationship with General Kang, old lady Qi is such a person, Will Mr. Qi be allowed to help us? My daughter doesn’t need to choose her family background when she gets married in the future, but you have the heart to let your elder brother stay at the border for the rest of your life? My mother is trying to find a famous lady with a good family background in Beijing for my elder brother, so as to pave the way for my elder brother in the future .”

"You, you, a girl's family, you talk about it all the time, how can you find a husband's family in the future." While Mrs. Du loves the people like a son, he can't help nagging, worrying about the people, and even more worried about his son's marriage .

Seeing Master Du saying this, Du Shuang knew that his father had given up on this idea, and coaxed with a smile: "Okay, okay, at this juncture, you, a parent officer, are still worrying about your son's marriage, how bad it is for people to know ? Hurry up and get busy."

After sending her father away, Du Shuang looked at Qi Pei'an who was in high spirits in the yard. She didn't care about Qi Pei'an's identity, but how could such a submissive person wishing to become invisible on weekdays become so capable all of a sudden? woman?
After thinking for a while, Du Shuang understood the reason why Qi Pei'an did what he did today, probably because he wanted to find a good husband-in-law for himself, right?
A 15-year-old girl is exactly the age to talk about marriage, but Qi Ding has no intention of finding a husband's family for Qi Pei'an.What about Liu Bailu?A very typical lady from a great family, with three obediences and four virtues, and her performance is extremely good, how could she offend her mother-in-law for no reason because of such a concubine sister-in-law?
After years of forbearance, today she chose the right time and place to show her talent. Du Shuang can be sure that she has never seen this kind of scheming and patience in two lifetimes.How could Du Shuang rest assured that such a scheming person was placed in his own home?

And how did a concubine who was bullied by her aunt all the year round learn these things?
This was also something that Du Shuang had to care about.

***
The wounded who had been bandaged could not be moved, but there were still many wounded coming in continuously. Liu Bailu was no longer flustered at the beginning, and now she was helping Du Shuang, except that she would not touch the wounded with her own hands. Other than that, it might help.

It wasn't until midnight that Liu Bailu dragged his tired body back to the room and went to sleep. It was amazing that Qi Ding didn't bother her to help her get up at night and serve tea and water.

After several days of busy work, Liu Bailu made great progress, from being afraid to look at it at the beginning, to being able to help some minor injuries with bandages and medicines later on, Qing'er is already impressed.

On this day, Kankan lay back on the bed before midnight, and Liu Bailu groaned softly with his eyes closed, finally able to rest for a while after a busy day.The sound of the siege outside was still there, although it was much quieter than in the daytime, but it still came intermittently, but this did not affect Liu Bailu's sleep, and even fell into a deep sleep the moment his head touched the pillow.

Suddenly, the ground shook, Liu Bailu woke up suddenly, grabbed the jacket and put it on his body.

Qi Pei'an, who was more vigilant than her, had already pushed open the window to have a look. Liu Bailu turned his eyes and saw the gloomy sky in the distance fiery red.

The Tartars set fire again!
Qi Pei'an pursed his lips and said, "The Tatars have broken the city."

"What!" Liu Bailu shivered in fright even though she had developed her courage during this period of time. She quickly put on her clothes, put on her shoes, walked to the bedside and pushed Qi Ding: "Mother, get up quickly, the city!" broken!"

Qi Ding, who was sleeping very soundly, did not move, Liu Bailu grabbed Qi Ding's lapel without hesitation, raised his hand, and slapped Qi Ding hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

Among all the cries of crying father and mother mixed together from outside, this slap was particularly loud.

Qi Dingshi also slowly opened her eyes, and as she woke up, a beautiful five-fingerprint appeared on her cheek.

Before Qi Ding could react, Liu Bailu pulled Qi Ding up and said, "Mother! The city is broken! Hurry up! Pei An, help mother get dressed!"

Liu Bailu's "city break" made Qi Ding's soul fly away. She hugged the jewelry box under the pillow in her arms and looked around in a panic: "What's going on? What's going on? It's not that you can keep it." ?"

Liu Bailu didn't answer, but Qi Pei'an and Qi Pei'an quickly helped Qi Dingshi put on his clothes. When turning over to get the comb, Liu Bailu inadvertently turned the bronze mirror upside down and put it on the table.

The comb was stained with hair and combed to the end, but it couldn't reach the end. Liu Bailu also used it vigorously, and instantly tore off countless hairs and hung them on the comb.

Liu Bailu brushed down the hair from the comb, and threw it into the charcoal basin behind. There was a thumping sound for a while, and the burnt smell was diluted by the incense in the room.

Qi Pei'an stared dumbfounded at Liu Bailu's smooth movements. Could it be that Qi Ding's hair is getting less and less, and that's why?this……

"What are you doing! My hair is falling out! I told you not to let you comb my hair!" Qi Ding clapped his scalp and cried out in pain.

Liu Bailu smiled gently without waiting for a trace of blemish: "It's not gone, take a look at the comb."

"Then what is this!" Qi Ding raised his bloody finger, with a few strands of hair that hadn't been combed out.

Um, I exerted too much force, and it bleeds.Liu Bailu's smile remained unchanged, and he said, "The Tatars are attacking the city, and you accidentally hit your head. Let's go!"

Liu Bailu stuffed Qi Ding's clothes into her arms, turned around and quickly put on the clothes.Holding his soft hand, he turned around and grabbed Qi Dingshi's arm and rushed out.

As soon as the door opened, she met Du Shuang's hand knocking on the door. Seeing that the three of them were dressed properly, she quickly withdrew her hand and said, "The city is broken, follow me to the prison."

In order to facilitate interrogation of prisoners, and to prevent prisoners from being hijacked on the way to interrogation, the prisons are not far from the yamen, and it is only a cup of tea away from the magistrate's yamen.

"Go to prison?" Liu Bailu asked.

Seeing that Liu Bailu was just puzzled and showed no strange expression, Du Shuang nodded and said, "Other than the city wall, the prison is the strongest place in Yongkang Pass."

It is true that in order to prevent people from robbing prisons, the prisons everywhere are the strongest.

Liu Bailu didn't talk nonsense, supported Qi Ding, and followed Du Shuang to walk out quickly. After walking not far, he saw the wounded being carried out and put on the carriage.

There was a row of more than a dozen carriages, among which even the carriage of the prefect with the official emblem was used to pull the wounded, and two of the exquisite and beautiful carriages were also carried to the wounded.

Knowing that the two carriages belonged to the Du family, Qi Ding quickly asked, "The wounded are all in the carriage, what about us? How do we get there?"

Du Shuang carried a bundle by herself, and said, "Of course I ran over, and it's not far away."

Qi Ding shook his hand and said: "The city is broken, and there are Tatar troops outside, you let me run over? How can I run over those ferocious Tatars with my old arms and legs! My lord! Look Look who you saved! All the white-eyed wolves! They just ran for their lives and left me behind!"

As soon as Qi Dingshi opened his mouth, Du Shuang became angry, glared at her beautifully, and said, "What? It's true that Master Qi is my father's life-saving benefactor, but it's enough for us to repay the kindness these years! Master Qi is seriously ill, and the money spent It took a lot of money, let alone, now that Master Qi is gone, you, as a widow, can’t just repay your kindness like this! You must be content! If you want to liquidate things one by one, well, Master Qi saved my father, and I As a daughter, I will repay the debt with my own body, and I will pay you back after the siege is over! But, you have to return all the money our family spent on yours!"

Du Shuang completely blocked Qi Ding's mouth with a gun and a stick. Qi Zhen has been ill for many years, and the money he spent was not 1000 but 100. In the past, Qi Ding would not let go In her eyes, let alone [-] taels of silver, even [-] taels of silver would not be available to her.

"What do I want you to do?" Qi Ding smiled mischievously, seeing Du Shuang's arrogance with her arms akimbo, and then seeing Liu Bailu's smiling face, she had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Okay! Then settle the matter! What do you do next?" You can pay off your debts, but God has the virtue of loving life, and I am not such a cruel person, so I don’t want your life. Look, Liu Bailu has been married for three years and has no children. I can’t help but stand up for us. Everyone thinks about it, why don't you come into our Qi family, as long as you give birth to a son, I will make you a wife. As for the dowry, for a family like yours, you have to prepare a dowry of 2 taels of silver, so I will No more, you will be fine once you enter our Qi family."
