Jiazhu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 17 Dispelling Demons

Zhong Congyu's heart was full of contradictions. Although the first solution was safe, he just didn't know when Jia Zhu would wake up. When he thought of him lying on the bed without saying a word, like a living dead, Zhong Congyu's heart was cut like a knife, why? Not reconciled.But the second method is too risky. Although he knows that Dr. Zhang is highly skilled in medicine and uses needles like a god, that inadvertent talk is just a word used by doctors, but the person lying on the bed is Jia Zhu. He dare not imagine what if Jia Zhu There is a good or bad thing, how should he live in the future, if it is someone else, even if it is on Zhong Congyu himself, he will choose to use needles without hesitation.

In the final analysis, I still care too much, so I dare not take risks, even if it is a one-ten-thousandth risk, I can't afford it.

He hesitated, sat on the edge of the bed, buried his head on Jia Zhu's chest, listened to his imperceptible heartbeat, his heart suddenly settled down, and after a moment of silence, he made up his mind and said, "How sure is Doctor Zhang?"

Doctor Zhang quickly knelt down and said, "I will do my best!"

Zhong Congyu turned around and said calmly: "If you miss, I want your entire imperial hospital to be buried with you."

Physician Zhang has been in the Imperial Hospital for 40 years. He has lived in three generations of emperors. On weekdays, he thinks Zhong Congyu is the youngest and most approachable one. Just this funny sentence made this old imperial doctor who has been through life and death break out in a cold sweat. Young The coercion and firmness of the emperor have been conveyed accurately, no jokes!Doctor Zhang knew that he was not joking, let alone threatening, he was just stating a fact: the consequences of a miss.

He was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head, nor did he dare to answer.

Zhong Congyu said: "I'll give you an hour, go back and get ready." After finishing speaking, he waved them all out, and only he and Jia Zhu were left in the room. He held Jia Zhu's hand and said softly, "I did it for you." Decided, no matter what the result is, we will bear it together. In life, you will be with me; in death, I will be with you. Okay?"

When Imperial Physician Zhang came back, he was followed by Imperial Physician Wang and other five imperial physicians. Except for Imperial Physician Zhang who looked calm, the other imperial physicians all looked worried.

Physician Zhang said to Zhong Congyu: "I think acupuncture and moxibustion can also be carried out step by step, because I decided to test Mr. Jia's reaction slowly with three kinds of force. It will take three days to complete the whole course of treatment. I hope the Holy Grail will approve it."

Zhong Congyu said: "You are a doctor, your opinion shall prevail, just remember my words."

Doctor Zhang said: "Don't dare."

As he said, he lit a candle, set out a golden needle, identified Jia Zhu's acupuncture point, and started using the needle.

For three full hours, Imperial Physician Zhang withdrew the needle profusely in sweat, and collapsed on the chair as if he had exhausted all his strength. Several other imperial physicians breathed and wiped his sweat for him. The imperial physician barely managed to stand up, and said to Zhong Congyu, "I will use the needle for the young master at this time tomorrow."

Zhong Congyu asked several imperial physicians to live in Jia Zhu's yard, waiting for dispatch at any time.Several prominent people in Rongguo Mansion had been standing in the yard for a whole afternoon. After hearing Zhong Congyu's order, they hurriedly sent the big girls Wenxin, Runjin, Ruqing, Ziyu, Gaoxi, Yalan, Jielian, Xueru, the little girls Li'er, Zhong'er, Cai'er, Guo'er, Xian'er, Bin'er, Han'er, and Jiu'er made up their beds to make room for several imperial physicians.

There were also dozens of guards and eunuchs accompanying Zhong Congyu, who were only assigned to other courtyards. For a while, the whole Rongning and Ning Mansions were in a hurry, but no one dared to speak loudly, for fear of alarming the emperor in Jia Zhu's house.

The Rongguo Mansion has never received a holy driver since Rong Guogong passed away. Only Mother Jia has seen it before. She has not asked about trivial matters in the mansion for a long time. Fortunately, Zhong Congyu only stayed in Jia Zhu's room, and the eunuch in charge knew the relationship between Zhong Congyu and Jia Zhu, so he didn't dare to embarrass Jia's house, so he only mentioned a few words from time to time. specification.

After three days like this, Imperial Physician Zhang used up the needle for the last time, his face was like gold paper, he could only breathe in, but not out, and said, "Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Jia is fine, and he can wake up on his own in half an hour."

Zhong Congyu had been guarding Jia Zhu's bed for three days. During these three days, he neither ate nor drank, nor slept, for fear that Jia Zhu might make a mistake. Now that he heard the confident reply from Imperial Physician Zhang, he relaxed a little and did not answer. , Only let people carry Doctor Zhang down to rest.

Imperial Physician Zhang refused, drank a glass of water and said, "Order, prepare some good ginseng soup."

Although acupuncture has been used for the past few days, according to Dr. Zhang's instructions, he will be given some ginseng soup and Jiazhu on time for three meals a day.Needless to say, Imperial Physician Zhang, a bowl of ginseng soup has been brought up, Zhong Congyu took it, tested the temperature, it was just right, and was about to feed Jia Zhu, Imperial Physician Zhang said: "This bowl is for the Holy Majesty, presumably Jia Zhu When the young master wakes up, he doesn't want to see His Majesty so haggard."

Zhong Congyu handed the bowl to the eunuch and said, "He won't wake up for a moment, I can't eat for a moment."

Physician Zhang was about to persuade him again, when Zhong Congyu suddenly said with great joy: "Look, he has opened his eyes!"

Doctor Zhang hurriedly helped him to diagnose the pulse, and after working for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all right, just take care of it for a few days and it will be fine." After speaking, he took all the doctors and left the house.

After a while of busy work, Jia Zhu's consciousness gradually recovered, and Zhong Congyu's blue eye circles, haggard face, chapped lips, and surprise eyes caught his eyes. The scene was completely different from the nightmare, and Jia Zhu couldn't tell for a moment. Knowing which is true and which is false, she stared at him fixedly, not knowing what to say.

Zhong Congyu couldn't help it, and said happily: "You finally woke up, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Hearing his hoarse voice, Jia Zhu felt sad for a moment and couldn't help crying. Zhong Congyu quickly wiped it away for him, and said anxiously: "What's wrong? Don't say it if you don't want to. Why are you crying?" He said so , In fact, I was anxious to death, Jia Zhu has always been gentle and obedient, she never took anything to heart, she would say it directly, this time I heard what Dr. Wish to wake up.If it was his past temper, Jia Zhu would definitely have to provoke him one by one to be at ease, but now seeing him crying just after waking up, he couldn't bear it.

Jia Zhu held his hand instead, and said softly, "Is there anything we can't say between you and me? I beg you for something today, and I want you to promise me first."

Zhong Congyu said: "Don't say one thing, it's a thousand, ten thousand. As long as you say it, I will definitely not let you down."

Jia Zhu said: "With your words, I feel at ease. I am seventeen this year, and I don't want to suffer from studying anymore. I want my family to donate an official for me."

Zhong Congyu said with a smile: "What's the difficulty? What kind of official do you want to be, I will reward you."

Jia Zhu covered his mouth with his hand, and said: "Listen to me, I have longed for the land in the middle of Sichuan since I was a child, and wanted to go to Lushan County to be a county magistrate. I am the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, and I should shoulder the important responsibilities of the mansion. But I'm not motivated, I don't have big ambitions in my chest, I just hope you can bear more."

After finishing speaking, he let go of Zhong Congyu's mouth, tilted his head and smiled at him pretending to be relaxed, and waited for his reaction.

If you want to know what is going on, listen to the next breakdown.
