Winning every step of the Red Mansion

139

When Jia Zhu entered the school, everyone in Jia's house was happy, but he didn't know that he had not been happy for a few days, and then got a letter saying that Jia Zhu met a bad person, his money was looted, and his life and death were unknown.Shocked to hear the bad news, the whole house was shocked.After searching for several months, there is no whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu and Zhou Quan came back on New Year's Eve.This made everyone both surprised and delighted.Mrs. Wang hugged Jia Zhu and cried endlessly, and others felt sympathy when they saw it.

"It's cold on the ground, don't kneel down. Seeing that Zhu'er has been working hard all the way, the two of you go to wash up and get rid of the dust first. The second wife has a good day today, so you should pay more attention to your body." Shi Fei'er said.

Jia Zhu nodded in agreement, bid farewell to everyone for the time being, and went to freshen up.At this time, the maid who was about to offer a reward came back, and Shi Feier said: "I am happy today, and doubling this reward can be regarded as making up for everyone's hard work and worries for a year." I want to come to Jia Mu to flatter me.Since many days of worries had been resolved, Shi Fei'er was naturally relieved and accepted it with a smile.

Seeing Jia Zhu come back like this, he naturally suffered a lot along the way.I don't know if the dinner has been used, but at this time the dinner in Fuchu has passed.Just now, because everyone was not interested, they hastily accepted it.Mrs. Zhang asked Mother Jia if she would prepare another table for Jia Zhu alone.At this time, Mrs. Wang recovered from the great joy, and hurried to handle it herself.

"Don't just prepare a table, this New Year's Eve is also a fun reunion, and then prepare a table to eat and chat together." Shi Fei'er spoke, paused and said: "Go and call Mrs. Zhou. When she comes back, she probably doesn't know that today's New Year's Eve, I'm afraid she's crying alone at this time."

When Jia Mu spoke, it was natural for someone to take care of it.When Jia Zhu came back with Zhou Quan freshened up and ready to go, the meal and banquet had been prepared, and Mrs. Zhou had also arrived.When Mrs. Zhou saw her nephew come back intact, she couldn't help crying.The aunt and nephew hugged each other and cried for a while.Shi Fei'er asked another small table to be set aside for Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Quan to sit.

Everyone was naturally concerned about how Jia Zhu suffered and how he turned the danger into safety.But Jia Mu hadn't spoken yet while she was sitting, so everyone was not in a hurry to ask.Shi Fei'er watched Jia Zhu eat up the bowl of bigeng two-rice porridge in front of her before opening her mouth: "Zhu'er, what happened to you along the way?"

At this time, Jia Zhu was in much better spirits than before, knowing that everyone was impatient, she put down her chopsticks and said, "After Zhu'er entered high school, she wanted to see her uncle because she thought that Yangzhou and Jinling were not far away, and because her teacher mentioned There are several honorable scholars in Yangzhou, and I also took the opportunity to pay a visit. So I prepared generous gifts and took a boat on the road, but I didn’t know that I encountered water bandits. Seeing our money and silk gifts, they had evil thoughts, so they stopped the boat. , tied all of us hands and feet, intending to knock them unconscious before throwing them into the river."

Hearing what Jia Zhu said, Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't stop her tears and started to choke.Jia Zhu sighed: "There were more than a dozen people on that boat, and now I don't know how many people have been rescued."

Shi Feier sighed: "There should be one more person. If it wasn't for him, how long would it take us to know what happened to you?"

Hearing this, Jia Zhu's eyes darkened: "Ah, only three of them escaped this catastrophe. This is Zhu'er's fault. If Zhu'er hadn't done this, maybe they wouldn't have suffered from it. This New Year's Eve I can stay with my family."

Mrs. Wang said: "This matter has nothing to do with Zhu'er, everyone has his own destiny, Zhu'er, it's good that you have such a heart. Zhu'er, don't blame yourself for this."

Shi Feier glanced at Mrs. Wang, then looked at Jia Zhu and said: "All the people who accompanied you have been sent money and pensions from the house, and their families have been properly settled. Don't worry about this, but people will die. If you can’t be resurrected, it’s useless to be sad and blame yourself.”

After hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Zhu nodded and said, "Pearl has bothered the old lady."

"Pearl, tell me how you were saved?" Jia Zheng couldn't help asking.

"It was thanks to Zhouquan that I was able to be saved this time. When the water bandit intercepted the boat that day, he tied everyone up and held them in one place, and then went around to search for the property. The water bandit was so vicious that he would not let anyone get the property. The man was knocked out and then thrown into the water. Seeing the viciousness of the water bandits, Zhou Quan hurriedly said that we were the sons of merchants, and today we also went to see relatives to give gifts. If you can spare your life, your family will be very grateful. Naturally, the reward at that time is better than The presents we brought here are much more expensive. The water bandit is greedy for money, so he nodded. Zhou Quan said that he must write a letter to his family, and the water bandit also nodded. The man took the pen and paper and loosened the tie. Let’s write a letter to our family. Due to the shaking of the deck, Zhouquan spilled the ink on purpose, begging the other party to get a table or let us lean on the side of the boat to write, otherwise the words don’t look like they were written by us, and neither will our family members Believe it. The water bandit agreed and let us write side by side. Zhouquan grabbed me and retreated to the side of the boat, jumping directly into the water by the wind and waves."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.Shi Fei'er was taken aback and asked, "Did the water bandit get off the boat and chase you?"

"Not really. Maybe it was because the night was too dark?" Jia Zhu shook her head, "I'm not too sure about it. It's because the water bandits didn't come down, maybe we can survive."

Mrs. Wang said again: "Even if you have escaped the robbery, why didn't you write to the mansion earlier, so that you can be found."

Jia Zhu smiled wryly and said, "As for my wife, the lake in autumn was really icy cold, and we were exhausted after swimming for a long time. And because it was a moonless night, it was dark and we couldn't tell the direction. Thanks to Zhou Quan's belt Bind the two of us together, if not, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the mansion today."

"What's the meaning of brother's words?" Yuan Chun also asked with a nervous expression on his face.

"The two of us were exhausted, so we drifted with the current all night. In fact, I can only remember this, and the rest are all explained to me comprehensively. Perhaps because of the turbulent current, I was hit on the head in the water that night. A bone in his chest was also broken. Zhou Quan injured his arm, and now his right arm can’t lift heavy objects.”

Hearing what Jia Zhu said, Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled Jia Zhu and asked, "A bone in this chest is actually broken? Is it still hurting now? What else is uncomfortable? Tomorrow I will ask the imperial doctor to give you a good diagnosis and treatment." .”

Jia Zhu said: "Nowadays, it's only when it's windy and rainy that it hurts faintly, so it should be fine."

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient to invite the imperial physician tomorrow, and I'll let you take a good look at it in two days." Shi Fei'er said again: "Since Zhu'er is not very clear about what will happen next, let Zhou Quan explain it clearly."

Zhou Quan got up quickly after hearing what Jia Mu said: "Returning to the old lady, I don't know how long I have been floating in this river with the young master after that night. When I woke up, I was on a river bank. At that time, the young master didn't know I bumped into something in the river, and I kept waking him up. At that time, I didn’t know that the young master had a broken sternum. So I carried the young master’s back and wanted to find someone for help. After walking for a long time, I didn’t see anyone, but I met someone. An old monk, seeing the two of us like this, asked about the situation and took the two of us to a small temple. The old monk knew some medical skills, and it was he who told my young master that a sternum was broken, but luckily no five internal organs were injured, otherwise I'm afraid it's been a long time ago..." Zhou Quan's voice choked up when he said this.

Everyone sighed when they heard this. On the one hand, they lamented Zhouquan's quick response, and on the other hand, lamented his loyalty.It is really rare to still think about the master after suffering such hardships.

"...Because the young master injured his bones and fell into a coma. The old monk applied medicine to the young master and protected the breastbone with a splint, saying that he couldn't move it. I couldn't help it even if I was injured for a hundred days. Ask the old monk and young master when he will wake up, and he said he doesn't know, it depends on God's will."

Zhouquan paused and said again: "I'm also really anxious. But the water bandits have already scraped off my body, and I don't even have a sachet and purse. I want to write to the mansion, but the old monk told me that the nearest town here also wants to It will take two days, and it is not safe to walk alone in this mountain, so I have to wait for the young master to wake up before discussing."

"Zhou Quan, is your hand healed now?" Shi Fei'er suddenly remembered Jia Zhu saying that Zhou Quan had injured his right arm and asked.

"Going back to the old lady, it's all right now. That day when I went into the water, I hurriedly put my hands together with the young master, for fear that the water would be too fast to rush away. I guess the ring was pulled off at that time, and it has already been connected. The old monk said that as long as It’s fine if you don’t lift heavy objects.”

"How long has Pearl been unconscious?"

"Back to the old lady, there will be about 25 to [-] days. Those days are really small. When the young master wakes up, he can remove the splint of the chest protector again, and there is no serious problem. The old monk sent us down the mountain, and gave us another After some entanglement, we headed back."

"Pearl, why don't you go to Yangzhou to see your uncle?" Mrs. Wang asked, "If you go to Yangzhou, your uncle can also help you find a doctor."

"My son thought about it for a long time, and I was afraid that the family was in a hurry. Besides, it was no longer the boundary of Yangzhou. When I went back, I was afraid of encountering water bandits again. I didn't have to pay for the toll, so I went overland and returned with a caravan. I went to Beijing. I walked for more than a month along the way." Jia Zhu said.

What Jia Zhu said was simple, but everyone knew how much hard work went behind his words.What a precious treasure in the mansion in the past, but when they left the mansion and encountered a catastrophe, they were able to turn the calamity into a blessing. After all, they were just a pair of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children. It was really unfortunate that they could support each other and return home from thousands of miles away. Fortunately.

"Do you remember what your monk's dharma name is, and what is the name of that temple?"

Jia Zhu thought for a while and said, "The old monk's Dharma name asked him and he didn't tell him. The name of the temple is Lai Qu Temple. I asked him what he meant. Go to where you want to go. That’s why this temple is called Come and Go Temple.”

Shi Feier listened for a moment, thoughtful.After hearing what had happened, everyone comforted Jia Zhu, and then praised Zhou Quan.

Shi Fei'er said to Zhang Wang's second wife: "Mrs. Zhou saved Hu'er in the past, and today Zhou Quan has kept Zhu'er safe. Although he is a loyal servant, it is definitely not just a word of loyalty to the family. You two go Give a glass of wine to their aunts and nephews, they can afford your toast."

Mother Jia's words made Mrs. Zhou get up quickly, waved her hands again and again and said: "Madam, this is right or wrong, this is going to break the rules."

"Where can't it be. If you don't repay your kindness, it's breaking the rules of the house."

The author has something to say: This is the real reason why Zhou Quan gave Jia Zhu instead of Jia Hu.
