[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Chapter 102

Did this girl think that if she hurt her face, no one would recognize her as a fake?

According to Bao Cong's thinking, if this person burns his face, the doctor will go to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and the maids will have to take care of him more attentively, and he and Jiang Che will also pay close attention to and visit him from time to time.In this way, everyone's eyes are equivalent to focusing on the "Prince Lord".

Doesn't this run counter to that person's purpose of concealing his false identity?

Bao Cong felt weird.

And Nanny Zhu always said that he was going to confront the princess, could it be that he was wronged?

Walking in front of the princess's house, the waiter happened to send the doctor out, and Bao Cong hurried forward to inquire about the injury.

Dr. Zhong made a lot of miscellaneous remarks, and concluded that although the wound was not big, but the burn was serious, and it was on the face, so the treatment would be extremely troublesome.Just now Doctor Zhong had preliminarily cleaned up the wound and applied medicine.After that, it is necessary to prevent wound inflammation. If the wound starts to recover, the injury will recur in the later stage. It is not easy to completely heal, so you have to be patient and recuperate.

"Will the wound leave a scar?" Bao Cong asked.

After all, it is a girl's family, even if the person himself doesn't care about his appearance, the disfigurement is too miserable.

Doctor Zhong had expected this question earlier, so he sighed and said, "Healing the wound is not easy, and it is impossible to leave no scars. If the princess uses more beauty prescriptions in the future and maintains them for a few years, maybe the scars will be cured." It's slowly fading."

That is to say a word of care, Doctor Zhong said so, Bao Cong was not too anxious, so he asked the servant to lead him out to make medicine.

It took Dr. Zhong out of the courtyard for a while before he realized something was wrong.

It's really strange, the Princess Jia got married in October, and Mr. Jia didn't look too anxious, and didn't even ask when the wound would heal.

But it doesn't matter, with his medical skills, the princess's wound can heal before October anyway.As for the scars... just put on more makeup and powder to cover it up.With such a noble status as the princess, he is a complete ugly monster, so the Marquis of Zhenyuan has to marry him back and obediently provide for him.

Tanchun is taking Aman shopping at this time.

She is assured that Bao Cong will investigate the case. She has another matter, which is more important than that.

Aman originally thought that this Mr. Huan was playful and cool, and he didn't even care about his sister's injury. He only knew how to go out and have fun, but he didn't want to. Tanchun didn't go to the place to eat and drink, but went to the vegetable and meat stall for groceries and so on, and then went to the grain shop.

Tanchun signaled to Aman: "Ask the boss, how do you sell the rice?" The locals mostly speak dialects, and Tanchun couldn't understand them, so they had to rely on Aman's translation.

Aman asked as he did, and the boss greeted them warmly when he saw them in brocade clothes, and said cheerfully, "This is the best rice this year. It was specially shipped from the south, and it only costs [-] yuan a bucket."

Aman translated it back again. Tanchun was very surprised when he heard that a bucket of rice cost [-] Wen.

I also asked the prices of other coarse grains one by one, and as expected, they were all more expensive than those in the capital.

After leaving the grain shop, Aman and Tanchun explained: "Our land and climate are not suitable for growing rice and wheat. Generally, the harvest is not as good as that of other places. The best rice grains are transported from the rich places in the south. Come to sell, so the price is more expensive, and this boss is not cheating anyone."

Tanchun was happy, and joked: "You are a majestic Marquis, but you also know the price of rice?" The sons, uncles, and grandpas of the Jia family hardly know the people's livelihood and economics, they only know about eating, drinking, playing and buying antique birds.

Aman nodded seriously, and said: "The most important thing is that people have enough to eat. My father wants to manage such a large area, so naturally the people cannot starve to death. It is difficult to grow food here, so my father has always paid attention to the price of food. If it is too high, Father will ask me to go to other places to buy food and bring it back to sell as official food."

Tanchun praised: "Your father is really good."

Aman smiled honestly.

Someone was driving the head sheep by on the street, followed by a large herd of hundreds of sheep, bleating in various tones one after another.

Tanchun had never seen such a big scene before. He was so stunned that he was almost thrown by the lamb, and Aman hurriedly reached out to grab it.

The waist in the palm is slender, the arms are also thin, and the person is light and fluffy.

Amandon felt that this young man was too thin.

Carrying her to the side of the road, he hurriedly stopped the sheep herder again, saying: "With so many sheep, why don't you drive them to the countryside to graze? How could you drive them on the street? You can't disturb the people like this, you know?"

The goat driver hurriedly said, "I didn't do it on purpose. An old man's family gave birth to twins, so he ordered a hundred sheep with me, and he wanted to distribute them to all of them to celebrate together."

Aman glanced at the bleating sheep and nodded: "So that's the case. But you have too many sheep, and it is easy to bump into people if you run around. Hurry up and drive the leading sheep over, and I will drive the rear sheep for you." .”

As he spoke, he picked up a branch and drove the sheep together with the sheep driver.

Tanchun saw it strangely at first, and then saw Aman driving the sheep. The sheep that had just started running around behind the head sheep lined up one by one, walking more and more neatly, and suddenly became more curious, and followed Aman. Beside him, asked how to drive the sheep, and stared at the sheep and ran together.

Occasionally, seeing one or two sheep break away from the team and run away, Tanchun opened his hands and trotted to drive them back to the flock, laughing as he ran, very happy.

A'man only thought that Tanchun's running was too delicate, but he didn't think much about it, he only thought that this young man was pampered at home.

A flock of sheep strutted through the market in high spirits, walked out of the small town and walked for about a stick of incense, and arrived at the old man's house.

The goat driver gave the goat □□ to the daughter-in-law of the old man's family. On the way to Tanchun, he heard Aman tell the happy event of his twins, so he untied a pair of jade rings on his body and gave them to the children.The old man was overjoyed, so he gave Tanchun a lamb as a gift in return.Tanchun couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the lamb with his arms.

The lamb may be very disturbed about being separated from the flock, bleating all the time, and kicking its legs to keep up with the flock.Tanchun could hardly hug him, so Aman hurriedly picked up the little lamb.

"You are too thin. When I held you just now, I felt that your arms were too thin. You must have no strength at all. A man needs to be stronger." Oman patted his strong and thick arm, and the muscles on it bulged Even clothes can't cover it.

Tanchun blushed, turned his head away, "I don't want it."

How ugly her arms would be if they were as thick as Aman's!

Aman hugged the little lamb and murmured: "I don't understand the vision of your son of the capital. Only when he is strong can he be manly! I don't think Uncle Bao and Uncle Liu are skinny. Why are you so thin? They are all the same as this lamb." Thin."

Tanchun glanced at the little lamb, and instead of answering the question, he asked, "Are you dividing sheep when celebrating happy events here? It's really fresh."

Talking about what he knew, Aman went on and on: "It's not all about dividing the sheep. This is something only rich people do. It is difficult for us to grow food, but it is easier to herd. Those who live in difficulties should raise more cattle and sheep. It's not easy to starve to death..."

Tanchun was stunned, "Could it be that the common people eat meat because they can't afford rice?"

Aman nodded, then shook his head again: "No, if you raise cows and sheep, you can still drink milk and goat milk, and you can sell the wool after shearing. Cows give birth to cows, and sheep give birth to sheep, so life will be better and better."

"By the way, you asked so many prices just now. Could it be that you are interested in doing business?"

Of course, Tanchun is not for business. "I want to understand the people's livelihood and economy here. My sister and I are not familiar with the place where we live. If we don't understand it first, we will easily be deceived by servants in the future when we manage the property."

Aman smiled and said: "You are really thoughtful, but you don't have to ask one by one like this. I know most of the things here, just ask me."

Tanchun blushed again, pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll ask you later."

The two played for a long time, and when they returned to the station, Bao Cong had already sorted out the matter, and the relevant personnel had already interrogated him.

Shi Shu was talking to Bao Cong at the door, "Just now I saw how worried Mr. Jiang looked, but I didn't want to wait for Dr. Zhong to come out, so I don't know where he went. I'm just acting, and I can't finish the whole set ?”

Bao Cong didn't care much, smiled and said: "Maybe he has other important things to attend to."

Tanchun came back and asked, "Third Brother, how did you go with your question? Did Mother Zhu confess?"

Oman followed closely behind with a bunch of specialty gadgets in his arms.

Bao Cong glanced around at the two of them, then shook his head, "Madam Zhu didn't plead guilty, she said that the princess scalded her face on purpose and put the blame on her."

Shishu and Tanchun exclaimed a little: "How is it possible!"

Shi Shu gritted his teeth and touched his own face, as if he felt pain too.

Tanchun couldn't help but said again: "How can someone be so cruel that they burn their own face?"

Aman didn't say anything, but glanced at Baocong, and then aimed at Tanchun strangely.

The servant said: "That's not necessarily true. Although we girls all cherish their appearance, some girls will do whatever they can to achieve their goals!"

She has seen a lot of the secrets under Jia's family, and got along with the maids in the palace and Nan'an Palace all the way, and she has heard a lot of secret stories for a long time.Naturally, I also heard that in order to achieve their goals, those women in the palace might risk their lives by cutting off their limbs, not to mention scalding their faces.

Bao Cong nodded, "It's possible, that maid Xiu'er insisted that it was Mammy Zhu who made things difficult for the princess, and she was so angry that she intentionally scalded the princess."

The waiter agreed very much, and said, "That's right, Nanny Zhu is used to making things difficult for others. In the past, the girl had a good temper and didn't care about her, but if the princess didn't listen to her, maybe she would get angry and burn her on purpose. people."

Tan Chun was happy, pinched the small face of the servant and said, "Why are you so unresolute? Just now you said that she would do whatever it takes to achieve her goal, but now she feels that it is Zhu Momo who is angry and scalded people?"

Um?Princess?girl?He can understand the words how to say, but he can't understand the sentences when they become sentences?

Aman didn't say a word, looked around the three of them, stepped back silently, and lowered his sense of existence.

The three of them didn't realize it, and the servant even felt aggrieved: "You slaves are not as smart as you, why don't you listen to what the third master has to say?"

Bao Cong laughed and said, "I don't know much now, so what can I say? I just think it's weird. Anyway, when the people in the room wake up, I'll ask first."

Tanchun clapped his hands and said, "Exactly, anyway, the strange thing is between these two people."

"What's strange..." Aman muttered, always feeling that what they said was a little bit wrong, but he couldn't make sense of it. After thinking about it, he wondered if he was a little stupid like a pig...

Oh no, what if the princess doesn't like stupid people?He'd better hide his stupid possessions!

So, Oman also smiled and mixed into the three of them, as if he knew their plan well.

After discussing this matter, Bao Cong remembered the agreement with Liu Xianglian to suppress the bandits, so he went to look for Jiang Che, intending to dispatch some soldiers to come out.Tanchun was curious about who was pretending to be her, so he wanted to go in to have a look, and the secretary led her in. Unexpectedly, Aman was lost in thought, and followed him in a trance, but the secretary hurriedly stopped her.

"Master Hou, this is the boudoir of the princess!" It's even a fiancé couple, so it's not appropriate to rush into the room like this!

Aman hurriedly stopped, blushing: "I, I'm not, oh, I'm being abrupt."

Tanchun looked back and saw Oman who was so embarrassed that he was about to dig into the cracks of the ground, so he burst out laughing again.

Really, really beautiful!Oman stared blankly.

But soon, Shishu closed the door mercilessly.

Tanchun walked around the room and inspected it carefully.

The servant said: "When we were away, we were all served by that Xiu'er, the princess. I heard that she is very domineering, and she occupies the position of personal servant, and does not let others come closer, for fear that others will steal her limelight. Especially us The members of Jia's family were all pushed out to cook and sweep the floor."

There was a lawsuit between these girls in the Yihong courtyard before, and the servant didn't think it was strange.

But Tanchun lowered his voice and said: "On the surface, it seems to be fighting for favor, but maybe this Xiu'er is helping to hide it, otherwise why no one found out?"

The waiter glanced at the figure in the tent in surprise, and silently gestured: "No way? Could it be that she bought Xiu'er? Xiu'er also knows that she is a fake?"

Tanchun also gestured silently: "Not necessarily, it is also possible that she uses her status as princess to deliberately manipulate Xiu'er."

"Hmm—" The waiter nodded knowingly.

Tanchun lifted the bed curtain and took a look. The girl was asleep and there was no movement.She saw the embroidery basket on the stool beside the bed again, so she picked up the handkerchief inside and looked at it, smiled and said to the waiter: "This embroidery is much worse than yours."

The waiter was very happy to be praised, and also took a look at the handkerchief, and said cheerfully: "Your servant and Qingwen have learned it for several months, so others can't embroider as well as me."

There is a mandarin duck on the handkerchief, and there are still a few stitches on the side, obviously the other mandarin duck has not been embroidered yet.

Tanchun wondered, who embroidered this?This fake princess?Or that Xiu'er?

On the other side, Jiang Che received a letter from the capital.

"Damn it!" Jiang Che was annoyed after reading the letter.

Originally, he wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, not to get involved in these messy things, but he didn't expect King Zhongshun to threaten his family and insist on his help!

Now it's okay to pretend not to know!

Jiang Che sighed heavily, burned the letter, and after thinking about it several times, he finally made up his mind.

Bao Cong came here and wanted to borrow some soldiers from Jiang Che, and said: "The princess's dowry was robbed by horse bandits a lot. If the dowry is less, what I lose is the face of the court. Buy more for her. I don’t have any servants when I’m away, so I have to borrow soldiers and guards to let them run errands and move things.”

Others wanted to spend money to buy a dowry for his younger sister, so Jiang Che naturally had nothing to say, and just asked Bao Cong to pick someone to go.When Bao Cong talked about suppressing bandits again, Jiang Che said, "I have already discussed with Marquis Zhenyuan. After escorting the princess to Xinjiang to get married safely, Marquis Zhenyuan will definitely come back to suppress bandits. After all, there are so many horse bandits, and the local government is also having a headache. Over the years, suppressing bandits is not something that can be done overnight, and the marriage of the princess cannot be delayed."

Bao Cong nodded again and again, "Exactly, sending the Princess to marry is the top priority right now."

Jiang Che paid more attention to the injury of the princess, and vowed that he would find the best medicine for the princess so that she could recover as soon as possible, but he never mentioned how to deal with Nanny Zhu.

Bao Cong didn't mention it too much, but secretly kept an eye on it.

In the evening, the servant said that the princess was awake, and Bao Cong went to meet her.

After entering the room, he saw a weak figure inside the bed curtain, leaning against him half-lying.

Bao Cong was thinking about whether to pretend to be stupid, and first took her as Tanchun's concern, but he listened to the insider who reluctantly raised his breath, and opened his mouth and said: "Master Jia, the Princess has returned safely?"

Bao Cong was stunned, why... did you confess so frankly?
