On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 72 King Jinan

Jiang Yu's hometown is in Wuning County.

When he was eighteen years old, he was engaged to Huo Wei, the daughter of his family friend, and in the spring of his twentieth year, they were married.

Huo Wei is enthroned, which is a good thing. She will get pregnant once she gets married.

But Huo Wei was stubborn and wanted a good reputation, so she arranged for him to have sex when she was pregnant.

Of course Jiang Yu was unwilling to accept it.

The pharmacy owned by Jiang's family was also called Huichuntang. He studied medicine with his father, grandfather, and great-uncle since he was a child. He also saw a lot of infighting in the houses of wealthy families. To put it bluntly, most of it was caused by women's lust.

Therefore, he was unwilling to have sex before getting married. Now that he was married and his wife was pregnant, he was even less willing to have sex.

But Huo Wei actually fucked in the soup that the maid gave him. What made him even more angry was that he didn't watch out for her and actually let her maid succeed.

He didn't feel the beauty's kindness at all, but regarded it as a great shame and humiliation.

He was a doctor, but he was plotted against by his own wife.

Huo Wei did this just to gain a reputation as a virtuous and generous person, and to make her parents-in-law feel ashamed of her and take this opportunity to help her parents' family.

Jiang Yu's parents also blamed him for this incident. Their daughter-in-law was only three months pregnant, so even if he wanted to have someone in his house, he couldn't be so impatient.

However, he wanted to save face and couldn't tell anyone about his troubles. He couldn't say that he, who knew medicine and medicine, was plotted by his wife.

The two had a big quarrel over this, and before the newlyweds could become inseparable, they were already in the same bed.

No, they've been living apart ever since. How could they be different bedfellows?
  When Huo Wei was more than four months pregnant, she heard that something had happened at Huojia Buzhuang. She was so anxious that she had to go back to her parents' house even on a rainy day. As a result, she slipped and the fetus could not be saved. She was also too emotional to control herself. In the end, Hemorrhage caused massive bleeding, and both mother and son passed away.

The Huo family also wants Huo Wei's sister, sixteen-year-old Huo Yue, to marry him within a hundred days.

Jiang Yu couldn't avoid it.

The Jiang family is considered a wealthy family in Wuning County.

Three generations of people have been doctors, treating illnesses and saving lives, and have good relationships with the county magistrates and wealthy businessmen.

After all, people will get sick if they eat whole grains, so no one can offend the doctor.

Therefore, after learning that Jiang Yu's newlywed wife passed away, many people were interested in marrying the Jiang family.

After all, the three generations of the Jiang family are definitely rich, and both the old lady and the madam are considered to be kind to others.

Even though Jiang Yu is now a widower, he is still a favorite in the eyes of many people.

Therefore, the number of girls who came to see him for treatment increased due to illness, and he met more girls on the road.

However, Jiang Yu now regards women as tigers and avoids them. In the end, he simply went around to purchase medicinal materials just to stay away.

He felt that he never wanted to get married in his life.

I also understood in my heart that the three-generation single inheritance in my family could not be ended in my own hands. Sooner or later, I would have to get married.

Even so, he still wanted to hide away for a few more years.

Now he even suspects that he is sick. When he sees a woman, everything feels wrong. He always feels that the woman is going to seduce him and want to taint him...

So when he heard Mr. Ning mention his marriage again, he wanted to turn around and run away, and quickly changed the subject: "Uncle, King Jin'an is taking over Jiangsu and Zhejiang now. Do you think this person is reliable? I really want to put my treasure on him. ?”

The grandfather of Han Chen, King of Jin'an, was a consort, and his father was a general. Han Chen was also good at fighting. He once led an army to resist the attack of a hundred thousand soldiers of the Qi State, and won a great victory with a small number and a large number.

A few years later, he led the troops to successfully defeat the Tatars. He used his troops like a god and won the battle. Later, he led his troops to repel the invasion of Lu, beheaded the commander, and was eventually named King of Jin'an.

Unfortunately, there was no news of King Jin'an leading the troops. On the contrary, in the spring of this year, when the capital was unstable, King Jin'an led troops to control the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and is now in charge of Yuhang County.

But this time, Mr. Ning not only allocated him some needed medicinal materials, but also prepared to give King Jin'an tens of thousands of kilograms of medicinal materials to stop bleeding in the name of Huichun Hall.

This is considered a big deal.

Mr. Ning smiled and shook his head: "Now that King Jin'an is in charge of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is peace after all. We are doctors and we have to do our part."

"The world is not peaceful now, and you will inevitably get injured in a war. It is better for us to bring it to your door than for others to come to ask for it."

Anyway, what he meant was, an iron-clad doctor and a smooth general.

No matter who is in charge of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they must give some blood to change their lives.

Jiang Yu clasped his fists: "What my uncle said is that this time we have benefited from you again."

Mr. Ning said that the medicinal materials this time were sent by the Huichun Hall in Nancheng and the Huichun Hall in Wuning County in partnership, but they did not provide any money or medicinal materials.

He did mention that he would send 5,000 taels of silver notes when he returned, but neither the Ning family nor his son agreed, saying that if he dared to send it, the two families would break off diplomatic relations in the future.

"This is a heretic." Mr. Ning smiled gently: "I am your grandfather's junior brother. When I opened the medicine shop, your grandfather paid for the medicinal materials in advance."

"He and I are brothers and confidants, not real brothers, but better than real brothers. This time we originally planned to take the opportunity to let your senior brother go to Jin'an King to show his name. Adding you is just an addition. It’s just a name.”

After saying that, Mr. Ning left him for dinner again.

Jiang Yu had a headache and panic when he thought of Uncle Ning's two younger sisters who had not yet left the family. He quickly declined: "I've already made an appointment with someone. I'll come back tomorrow to say goodbye."

Why he stayed in the inn was because he was afraid that the Ning family would want to act as a matchmaker for him.

The problem is that the two sisters of the Ning family have warned him privately, saying that they do not want to marry far away, and if he dares to come to ask for marriage, they will let him enter vertically and exit horizontally.

Moreover, of the two sisters in Uncle Ning's family, one likes to give people acupuncture and the other likes to make medicine, which he really has no luck with.

He didn't dare to provoke him and couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only hide.

After returning home, he originally didn't want to go to the appointment. Unexpectedly, Xiao Dalang and Erlang were already waiting for him at the gate of the hospital. The housekeeper warmly invited him again.

Jiang Yu followed them, it was just a meal anyway.

Liu's specialty is steamed pork with rice noodles, Mrs. Xiao's specialty is rice wine stewed duck, and Wu's three-cup chicken, as well as fish and shrimp, which are cooked with great effort by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

It’s pleasing to the eye, with all the color, fragrance, and flavor.

Boss Xiao solemnly thanked him: "This glass of wine is dedicated to the young master. Thank you very much for your kindness in saving my little daughter so that we can be reunited as a family."

Jiang Yu also raised his wine glass: "It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning!"

"Please!" Boss Xiao said politely: "It's just a family meal. It's Yuzhang's cuisine. I don't know if the young master can get used to it."

Jiang Yu had previously gone to Yuzhang to purchase medicinal materials and had eaten local dishes, most of which were spicy.

However, the Xiao family may have been concerned about his taste. Except for the spicy fish, they did not put any chili pepper in other dishes.

In particular, the steamed meat was glutinous and fragrant, crispy and refreshing, fat and thin, tender but not greasy, and the rice noodles were oily and rich in flavor. As a person who didn't like meat, he couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.
