Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

This summer is surprisingly hot. The leaves of the willow trees on the outskirts of the city seem to be curled in the sun.

But Baoyu was in a good mood. It was mid-morning, and he was sitting in the camp of the capital garrison outside Beihua Gate, listening to Wang Qi report on his work below.

"...In the past month, nearly 15 new troops have been recruited, plus the remaining 25 to [-], now there are almost [-] troops," Wang Qi sat at the bottom, looking at the statistics of his subordinates. The number of people said to Baoyu, "And most of them are young adults between the ages of [-] and [-]."

There is a surplus of labor in Beijing, so it is not difficult to absorb fresh blood. Many farmers and merchants encourage their children to join the army in order to make their children have a better future. Many of them want to make contributions by themselves. The new atmosphere has made many ambitious people feel the opportunity and are looking forward to showing their talents.

Baoyu nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You are doing very well. There are almost enough troops. I think it's time to start the training of recruits. It just so happens that Jin Yiwei has also achieved some results. You can choose a few capable people to help you. besides,"

He winked at Wang Qi, "The weather has been so hot recently, I need to remind those lieutenants, don't be greedy for coolness and get cold, or eat bad stomachs!"

Wang Qi smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will convey your thoughts."

"That's good." Feeling a little hot, he took a sip of the cool tea in his hand to calm his anger, and continued: "The first thing for those recruits is to ask them to remember the military order and take the military training rules into account. In the stomach, let them have the awareness of obeying orders before they can be ordered and prohibited, and remember that the troops we train are not for viewing here, but for real combat capabilities.”

Seeing Wang Qi nodding his head and writing it down carefully, he paused, and said the method he had only recently come up with, "Master Wang, I was still thinking that the crops in the field might be affected if it is so hot this year. Where there is not enough manpower in the farmland, you can ask the soldiers to help the people go to the fields after training, do you think it is feasible?"

Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't scoff at his strange idea. He was also quite capable. Hearing this, he thought about it and thought it was a good idea.

In the particularly hot summer, the problem of grain harvest is indeed a headache. In addition to the recent recruitment, many children from farmers have also joined the army, and there is no one to do the work in the fields.

If the army can be allowed to farm in their spare time, it will solve many problems, and it will also test the soldiers' physical fitness.

He turned his mind quickly, and he figured out the benefits almost instantly, and couldn't help admiring Baoyu even more: "The method your lord said is good, but it kills two birds with one stone. I think it is feasible."

Baoyu heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that although he thought this method was good, he didn’t know whether it would be difficult for people and the environment in this era to implement it. At this time, Wang Qi also agreed. end.

"I also came up with this idea by accident. If you think it is feasible, you can discuss it with the people below. After detailing it, you can work out a practical plan, and then implement it downward."

Wang Qi didn't quite understand some nouns, but he understood the general meaning and nodded repeatedly.Over the past few months, Baoyu has entrusted him with a lot of things to do, allowing him to jump out of the small circle of Jin Yiwei, broaden his horizons, and expand his ambitions in his heart. This is the time to be full of ambition.

He clearly knew that this was the first step, and that the tasks to come would be more trivial and arduous, but he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit and eager to show his strength.

Baoyu saw the excited light in his eyes, and knew that he would do his best to do it well, so he stopped worrying and went out to inspect the camps.

Looking at the young faces who are eager to make contributions, he first praised them, then talked about the hard training and made them ready, and finally issued repeated orders. He would never show mercy to those who violated the military orders. , ranging from being served by military law, to being expelled from the battalion.

After slapping and beating Tianzaodi's gang of brats, he looked at the big sun above his head and felt that he was about to be roasted.

"Keep busy, be careful not to suffer from heat stroke, I'm going back too, and I have to go to Sili in the afternoon," he walked outside the barracks, the black horse had already been pulled out, and the people who followed him to bask in the sun Wang Qidao, "Bing Jing, I will keep an eye on them and send them over on time. The other three camps outside the city gates should also be managed by trustworthy people. If there are still people looking for you, just return them if you want to rely on your relationship." , we don't want those embroidered pillows."

Wang Qi bowed and agreed. He had heard such things from Baoyu a lot in the past month. To be honest, he really didn't expect Baoyu to have such a stiff neck. With a ruthless face, if the dude is ignorant and unable to meet his requirements, he will not let go even if he sends a mountain of gold.

After watching Baoyu enter the city on a black horse, he also returned to the main camp, thinking about what to do next.

It is said that Baoyu went into the city under the sun and went straight to the mansion. The noon sun was so poisonous that even he couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but miss the modern car. At least he could turn on the air conditioner for a while, right?

Thinking of this, he felt even more irritable, and he just wanted to go back to the house and take a bath to wash off the heat from his body, and then drink a bowl of iced plum juice in front of the iceberg.

What he didn't know was that there was a big surprise waiting for him in the mansion!

He got off his horse in front of the mansion gate, and the gatekeeper came up to lead the horse in. He hurried to the small building, bypassing the flower hall in the front yard.

Walking along the creek, you can already see Sigui Building. Many people are busy and busy along the way. When they saw him, they all saluted. He frowned and said, "What are you busy with? Is there any rules? ?”

He was so hot that he was irritable, and he couldn't help talking with anger.

A group of people knelt down in fright, one of them was about to speak, Ming Yan had sharp eyes, saw the movement here from a distance, and ran over with a smile on his face.

"Master! You're back?! There's a happy event, Miss Lin is here!" He ignored the kneeling people and Baoyu's face that clearly said "I'm very annoying", and shouted loudly.

Baoyu was originally full of anger, but when he heard this sentence, it immediately disappeared like an iceberg, his brows and eyes became more energetic, and he hurried forward: "Really?! Why didn't you say it earlier!" Waving to the servants: "Okay Yes, I blamed you all, go down and do things!"

Before the words fell, people had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard, like stepping on a hot wheel.

A group of servants looked at each other in blank dismay. They thought they had hit a rage today, and scolding would be inevitable. I didn't expect the master to be so happy when he heard that Miss Lin was coming.

In this way, they understood the master's attitude towards her, so they all cheered up and went to work, taking good care of her without mentioning it.

It is said that Baoyu entered the building with the wind at his feet, and a group of servants went up and down, cleaning the house and putting things away. He didn't seem to notice that a gust of wind went up to the third floor, and he saw Daiyu in aqua blue. She is in a light shirt and skirt, with her hair in a simple bun and a lotus-shaped jade hairpin. She is lying lazily on the Arhat couch with her eyes closed, and beside her stands Qingwen.

He felt that she was like a cool leaf covering his heart, calming his restless heart, and the heat suddenly became far away.

Hearing the sound, she opened her eyes and looked at them, her eyes lit up, she showed a smile and wanted to get up, Qingwen hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said in her mouth: "Miss, please slow down! Didn't you just say that you are a little dizzy? Don't get up. fierce!"

Baoyu had already stepped forward to stop her movement, and frowned when Qingwen said this: "Why are you dizzy? Is it heat stroke?" As he spoke, he put her wrist on her wrist to feel her pulse.

Daiyu didn't insist, she lay back and smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's probably because there are too many cars, and it's much better now." Seeing his serious look, she smiled again: "Why haven't I seen you for a few months, you can still be a doctor Already?" Pretty decent.

Baoyu can really make a diagnosis. He has read a lot of medical books. Although he can't be like a doctor sitting in the hall, he can still judge a simple pulse. After a while, he let go of her hand and went to feel her forehead again. , felt that the temperature was not high, so he felt relieved: "It's nothing serious, but it's a little hot, but it's still safe to ask someone to cook a few medicines to drink."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and called Mingyan.Mingyan ran up humming, and heard Baoyu say, "Go to the doctor to feel Miss Lin's pulse, and then prescribe a prescription for some medicines." Mingyan nodded and went down to call the doctor.

Here Daiyu saw that his face was flushed and his hair was sweaty, knowing that he had been out in the sun all morning, so she hurriedly pushed him and said, "I see that you are very hot, so I'd better take a bath and change clothes first."

Now that he saw someone, he was in a good mood, and took another deep look at her before turning to bathe in the pool at the back. Qingwen knew Baoyu's rules, so she poured a cup of tea for Daiyu and went downstairs consciously.

Daiyu felt even more uncomfortable now, and her face turned red when she heard the sound of water coming from behind.

Fortunately, Baoyu didn't make her shy for a long time, and after a quick wash, he put on the underwear he had prepared earlier in the morning and came out.The two hadn't seen each other for several months, and there was a lot to talk about when they met.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you write me a letter in advance?" He sat on the embroidered stool next to the couch with wet hair, looked at her obviously thin face, and said a little guilty, "It's my fault. , Such a hot day made you travel all the way here, I see that you have lost weight."

Daiyu smiled and tugged at his sleeves to comfort him, "It's nothing, you know that I don't have a good appetite in summer, so it's normal to lose weight, it has nothing to do with traveling."

She is really in good health now, there are only a few occasional colds in a year, and then there is the problem of bitter summer, Baoyu also knows, but also understands that she is easing his heart, so he can only hold her hand Pinch a few times.

"I was supposed to enter the city last night, but they said it was too late, and I thought so too, so I stayed overnight at Zhuangzi,"

Daiyu wanted to pull her hand out, but tried a few times but couldn't do it, so she let him hold it with a blushing face, and explained to him, "The letter was supposed to be delivered last night, but the city gates are closed so early now, so I can't deliver the letter." The person who was there was one step late, so he had to turn back."

Baoyu nodded. This is his rule. It gets dark late in summer, so he closed the city gate as soon as it got dark. In fact, 07:30 in the evening is not too early, but people generally think that it is too late to close the gate as soon as it gets dark. too early.

"I felt dizzy and nauseous shortly after getting in the car this morning. Qingwen and the others were very anxious, so they forgot about it. You came back not long after we arrived."

"No wonder they are so busy!" Baoyu smiled and stared at her from head to toe. She couldn't help shrinking her neck, and when she was about to open her mouth, Mingyan ran up: "Master, Dr. Sun is here!"

When Baoyu heard this, he let go of his hand immediately, and instead hugged Daiyu to the bed, put down the bed curtain, and then let people come up.

It's not that he's too feudal, it's that it's really not easy for people to know Daiyu's identity at the moment, and it's because of Daiyu's reputation. Although he doesn't care so much, it's impossible for Daiyu to be as complete as a modern person like him Let go—and besides... he really doesn't want to be seen by her now...

Daiyu naturally knew the reason why he did this. After a while, an old doctor with a gray beard, about five or sixty years old, came up with a medicine box. It was really tiring for him to climb such three floors. He gasped for breath before coming to check his pulse.

With a silk handkerchief on Daiyu's wrist, he examined it carefully for a while, then changed another hand. After a while, he got up and went to the side. Baoyu invited him to the round table with a smile: "There is no need to go down, just talk here It's not a serious illness anyway."

Dr. Sun was stunned for a moment, then sat down and said to him, "Ma'am, there is nothing serious about it, it's just that I got sweltered in the heat and ate some food with too much oily gas, which caused nausea and dizziness. Seriously, the old man should write a prescription and take three medicines and he should be fine."

After he finished speaking, Mingyan had already brought a pen and ink to write a prescription, Baoyu handed it to Mingyan and asked him to take the doctor out of the house, and then went to make the medicine according to the prescription.

"Ma'am, should you take some medicine?" When there was no one else around, he looked at the man with red ears with a smile, and deliberately teased him.
