117. The Court's Rewards(1/2)
Jiang Zhen didn't go to the county town for several days.
Qingfeng Building in the county has been on track for a long time, and he doesn't need to watch it. The mansion is not open for the time being... In this case, he just stayed in Hexi Village and then took care of the escort agency.
His escort agency is going to recruit people again, and he can just check it out.
Before, Jiang Zhen had no scholars under his command, but now he can easily recruit scholars, but he mainly recruited escorts.
When he hired a bodyguard, he looked for locals, and knew that he had a home nearby. He was not modern times and had no ID card, so naturally no one could feel at ease to find outsiders.
Jiang Zhen was very busy, but as long as he could, he would take Zhao Mingzhu with him wherever he went.
This is his first child, and he only has it at the age of the eldest child. He simply likes this child.
Because of this, when Zhao Mingzhu, who has always been very energetic, suddenly became sick, Jiang Zhen became anxious.
Zhao Mingzhu is a child who is easy to take care of. Even if she cried in the past, it would be fine as long as someone hugged her. But this time, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge took turns to hug her, and she still looked very uncomfortable.
Not only that, Jiang Zhen also found that she seemed to be a little hot.
This kid has a fever!
If it were modern times, you could also get a thermometer to measure your child's temperature and go to the hospital for a check-up, but there was nothing here.
There is not even Baidu, which is full of all kinds of unreliable information.
Jiang Zhen suddenly became anxious: "What should I do? Mingzhu seems to feel very uncomfortable!"
Brother Zhao Jin is also a completely novice. When Jiang Zhen was anxious, he became even more anxious. When the two of them were anxious, Zhao Liu was naturally anxious.
Even Zhao Fugui, who had become a man of old style these days, had just returned from the field wearing a new suit and had returned from "inspecting" the situation in the field, rubbed his hands and became uneasy: "This...this...this...this...this...thiss., the two children of Jinhu and Brother Jin, didn't have this when they were young!"
"It's not that there is no, it's just you don't know." Zhao Liu looked at Zhao Fugui. The two children she gave birth to had had were uncomfortable experiences when she was a child, but there was no money at that time. Even if the child was sick, he would just endure it. After a few days, he would get better.
However, she couldn't remember what was going on.
Moreover, in Hexi Village, some children can survive after being sick, but some cannot survive... Zhao Liu's more worried the more they think about it.
"Let's go to the county town to take a look." Jiang Zhen said without hesitation. No matter what, he must let the doctor take a look first.
Jiang Zhen hurried to the county town with his daughter in his arms. After arriving at the county town, he hurried to the clinic.
"What are the symptoms of this child? Is he sick? Is he vomiting or hesitating? How many days have you been like this?" The doctor glanced at the child in Jiang Zhen's arms and asked repeatedly.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes looking, listening, asking and touching. Such a young child cannot take the pulse accurately and cannot speak, so he can only rely on his parents to describe it.
"Starting today, she was very noisy and she was still a little hot." Jiang Zhen told all of Zhao Mingzhu's symptoms.
"It's only one day, maybe it's just too cold and noisy... You can take a look first." The doctor said. He is not a doctor who specializes in pediatrics. It seems that such a young child has no big problems, so he naturally doesn't dare to prescribe medicine for her at will.
"Doctor, but she has a fever." Jiang Zhen was worried about this at this moment.
The doctor touched Brother Zhao Jin's forehead with his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's not too hot, it doesn't matter if she can eat."
"She can eat anything, but she eats less." Jiang Zhen said.
"Your child is sick, let me see." At this moment, an old woman suddenly came out of the house.
Jiang Zhen nodded without hesitation and asked the man to help him see.
The woman looked at it for a while and asked Jiang Zhen to open Zhao Mingzhu's mouth.
Jiang Zhen nodded, opened Zhao Mingzhu's mouth and showed it to the man. Then, he heard the woman say, "It's nothing, it's just teething. Just make something harder and let her grind her teeth."
Have teeth grown? Jiang Zhen looked carefully and found that Zhao Mingzhu's gums were a little red. When he found this, he immediately felt relieved.
Brother Zhao Jin and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the child is just teething, there is no need to worry too much. Jiang Zhen took the Zhao family to the grain store to buy some good flour that he planned to eat for Zhao Mingzhu, and then bought some sugar. Then he went back.
During this period, he also met people from the Zheng family.
In Hecheng County, it can be said that there are Zheng family everywhere. Jiang Zhen hurried into the city and went directly to the clinic. Naturally, someone reported it to Zheng Yi, so Zheng Yi sent someone to ask.
When Zheng Yi learned that it was just a child who had teeth, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. He immediately put it aside and then asked someone: "You said, Zhou Maohe lost his trace?"
This Lord Zhou is coming to Jiangnan, and it was the news that Mr. Zheng from the capital was sent by Mr. Zheng. In addition to this news, Mr. Zheng also asked Zheng Yi to look at Mr. Zhou.
Lord Zhou was not aware of what was happening outside the court, and there were more than one official who hated Zheng Erye, so Zheng Yi was not worried at first, but later he found out that Lord Zhou was too jealous of evil, so he temporarily gave up the construction of Qingfeng Building in the mansion.
Don’t let him build a big project in the mansion, and this Lord Zhou used it as a handle to attack his second uncle, or think that they were corruption and bribery...
The world is conscience. Although the Zheng family has gained a lot of benefits from his second uncle, his second uncle has always been honest as an official. After all, his family is rich and too greedy... so he cannot achieve political achievements.
Zheng Yi was afraid that the imperial envoy would find fault and always paid attention to him. As a result, someone told him that the imperial envoy suddenly disappeared.
This... went to a private visit?
Zheng Yi thought about it for a while and didn't figure out the result, so he only paid more attention to the news about the imperial envoy.
He believed that he had never done anything wrong, so he was naturally not afraid of being investigated.
After Jiang Zhen took Zhao Mingzhu back to Hexi Village, he found something for Zhao Mingzhu to bite.
However, it is cold now, and Zhao Mingzhu wears too much. It is not convenient to put things in her hand and bite them in her mouth. She is unhappy and starts to "hum" again. It's too hard, Jiang Zhen is afraid that she will hurt herself.
After thinking about it, Jiang Zhen simply washed his hands and bit him for Zhao Mingzhu.
With Jiang Zhen’s fingers to bite, Zhao Mingzhu is really not making a fuss.
She had not grown teeth and had no strength. Jiang Zhen's hands were covered with calluses. It didn't hurt if she bites them like this, but her fingers were itchy.
When Jiang Xiaomei came to find Jiang Zhen, she saw that her elder brother, who had changed a lot, was biting her finger for Zhao Mingzhu to play with.
Looking at Zhao Mingzhu, she suddenly remembered that when she was a child... His elder brother would take care of her at that time, and he was not good to her, but he just didn't talk. When she got a little older, she was unhappy to follow him who was always silent.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Zhen asked.
Jiang Xiaomei lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed, but quickly raised her head and said, "I want to marry Zhang Bai."
"Zhang Bai?" Jiang Zhen was stunned. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was the son of the two father and son who had brought back fired blue bricks.
He bought the father and son with money, but in order to motivate them to burn more bricks, he gave him a reward.
The father and son saved the reward he gave, and found him not long ago, saying that he wanted to redeem himself, and that he was willing to continue working for him, and he agreed.
However, he didn't expect that Jiang Xiaomei would fall in love with Zhang Bai.
He remembered that Jiang Xiaomei seemed to be interested in Jiang Ming before, but he had too many things to do, so he didn't care about the development of the matter.
"Yes, it's him." Jiang Xiaomei lowered her head.
She liked Jiang Ming before, but she would like it because Jiang Ming had good conditions and had no contact with Jiang Ming, so she couldn't be considered a marriage if you don't want to marry him.
But these days she went to work in the brick kiln every day, and she had a crush on Zhang Bai.
Zhang Bai has the skill of making blue bricks, so he will definitely not be short of money in the future. Moreover, his job is better than Jiang Ming who has to go out all day long. After they get married, they can stay together.
"If you want to get married with him, you'll get married, but you'll talk about it first after my mother's birthday party." Jiang Zhen said. He had the impression that Zhang Bai was just a young man who burned bricks all day long and made him look dark. Not to mention anything else, he was quite honest and willing to work hard.
In the past, he only built a brick kiln in Hexi Village, but later it was not enough, so he went to the neighboring village to build the same brick kiln, and let Zhang Bai's father take care of it.
The two brick kilns are the same size, but Zhang Bai always burns more bricks... I heard that he spent almost all his time on the brick kiln except for eating and sleeping.
Jiang Zhen had no objection to this person. Jiang Xiaomei would marry him if she wanted to marry him. He didn't care. At this moment, he still planned to hold Zhao Liu's birthday party first.
When Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge got married, they couldn't do anything to make the wedding banquet lively. After all, there were too few relatives and friends, but now it's different.
At this moment, Jiang Zhenguang has countless men under him, and he can find a large group of people to celebrate the birthday of Zhao Liu!
Jiang Zhen finally decided to hold Zhao Liu's birthday party.
The sun was very strong on the day when Zhao Liu's birthday was over, and there was no wind.
There is a saying in Hexi Village, "Poorness is in debt, cold is in the wind."
If a person is not in debt, he is not poor, and if he does not have the northwest wind, he will not be too cold.
The sun is beautiful and windless on this day. Although it is winter, it gives people the feeling that it is no different from spring.
"Look, God will give you a good face once you have a birthday." Someone in Hexi Village praised Zhao Liu.
Jiang Zhen planned to hold a birthday party, so early in the morning, those who were close friends with Zhao Liu from Hexi Village came to help.
Zhao Liu was wearing new clothes and gold jewelry, with a smile on his face: "Oh, it's all Jiang Zhen... You said that my old bones were almost in the coffin, and he still had to spend a lot of money to celebrate my birthday, really..."
Zhao Liu said this and told Zhao Jin Ge privately, thinking that doing this would cost too much money, but he was very happy in his heart and his face was full of smiles.
When I saw that the tables were all set and many customers came to the door one after another, I was even more happy to be able to close my ears.
She has never had such a good face in her life.
Zhao Liu was very happy, but at this moment, a middle-aged man with a gray face walked down from a boat.
The middle-aged man brought two guards around him, dressed up as if he was a wealthy businessman. After he arrived, he asked the people on the dock: "I heard that there is a Jin Zhen escort agency here?"
"Yes." The person who moved the goods said, "There is a Jinzhen Escort Agency. Are you looking for them? The house there was renting the business." The person who moved the goods said, and pointed to a shop with a plaque "Jinzhen Escort Agency" not far away.
"Oh..." the middle-aged man nodded and asked again: "I heard that there is a Qingfeng Tower here?"
In addition to coming to Jin Zhen's escort agency, this man also wanted to go to Qingfeng Tower to play? The person who moved the goods quickly said, "Yeye, you find a kid on the street and spend two copper coins, and they will take you there! Tsk tsk, the food and fun in Qingfeng Tower is said to be something that only exists in the palace, but it is a good place!"
"What?" The middle-aged man's face changed. How could someone take out the things that are only available in the palace and enjoy them for a group of merchants?
It's really outrageous!
