The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 29 Losing a Son

Chapter 29 Losing a Son
Jia Zheng said without further ado, "Jingyou, our family has received an urgent letter from our brother-in-law in Yangzhou, saying that the youngest son of the Lin family has caught a cold and is critically ill.

I had no choice but to rush here overnight to ask Jingyou for help."

After saying that, he bowed to Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao hurriedly avoided him. Jia Zheng was a gentleman. Although he was pedantic and incompetent, he had never done anything evil.

You may not like this kind of person, or even despise his incompetence, but you cannot look down on him.

And he was just asking for medicine. Anyway, the Sanhua Yulu Pills had been sold to many officials and imperial guards in the imperial mausoleum.

No cheating, 10 taels each.

However, Li Jingxiao was still thinking about the gold hairpin and the secondary hairpin.

Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun are still young and there has been no hope for several years.

But beautiful maids like Xiren and Qingwen definitely have a chance.

Although Qingwen is willful, a modern man like Li Jingxiao still has many ways to deal with such a girl.

Xiren is thoughtful and ambitious, but if you really think about it, her biggest ambition is to be a concubine.

She said she wanted to be the main wife, but her background alone made it impossible.

Moreover, when Xiren served Lady Jia, she only had Lady Jia in her eyes.

When serving Jia Baoyu, she only has Jia Baoyu in her eyes. This kind of woman is the most caring.

There are also two half-sisters of Ningguo Mansion's Youshi, You Erjie and You Sanjie.

The probability of taking them both as concubines is very high.

Maybe if I give one or two thousand taels of silver to Old Lady You, Second Sister You or Third Sister You will be sent to my home that night.

If I give them three to five thousand taels, it won't be a big problem if the two sisters give it to me together.

I thought so much, but it only took a moment.

So Li Jingxiao took out the porcelain bottle containing three Nine Flower Jade Dew Pills without hesitation and gave it to Jia Zheng.

He also specifically reminded, "Mr. Zheng, the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill is the most effective among all the Jade Dew Pills.

If it is not absolutely necessary, it is best not to use it for young children.

Even if you really need to use it, you need to dissolve it in warm water and feed it to the child little by little.

This is to avoid that when you are seriously ill, you will not be able to receive nourishment and may cause problems.

If you are over six or seven years old, you don’t have to worry about this.

Moreover, this medicine is most effective for external and internal injuries.

As long as the person is not dead, one pill will definitely save his life.

After three of these, the injury will definitely heal."

When Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Zhao Junming and several leaders of the imperial guards heard this, their eyes lit up.

This thing is the life-saving magic medicine. Jia Zheng was overjoyed and hurriedly took the porcelain bottle and opened it to see that there were indeed three pills inside.

And there is actually a faint fragrance in the smell, which makes me feel that this medicine is extraordinary.

He bowed to Li Jingxiao and said, "Jingyou is so kind, the Jia and Lin families will definitely repay you."

It is indeed inappropriate to ask for money at this time, and it may even be a bit humiliating.

But Li Jingxiao is a modern man. If not money, what else can he talk about?
Fortunately, he was not stupid and was waiting to see what return gifts the Jia family and the Lin family of Yangzhou would give.

What neither Jia Zheng nor Li Jingxiao expected was that the youngest son of the Lin family was not an adult of eighteen or nineteen years old like Jia Zhu.

Moreover, Yangzhou is indeed a bit far from the capital.

When the letter was sent to the capital, the person was already in danger, otherwise Jia Min's letter would not have mentioned that the person was about to die.

By the time the express horse delivered the three Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills to Yangzhou, it had been the fifteenth day since Jia Min wrote the letter to the capital.

This was done using horse relays from the post station.

It's a pity that the person is already gone.

Lin Ruhai suppressed his grief and read the letter written by Jia Zheng, then looked at the porcelain bottle brought by Jia Zheng's entourage and the three pills inside.

He could no longer hold back his tears, and regretted receiving Jia Zheng's letter, which said Jia Zhu had recovered and that Jia Min and his uncle no longer had to worry.

Why don’t you believe that there really is a miracle drug in this world?

Why didn't he ask Jia Zheng to ask Taoist Li for an elixir just in case?

But now that the elixir has been obtained, it is too late.

After a while, Lin Ruhai temporarily suppressed the grief in his heart and instructed the housekeeper to treat the Jia family servants who were riding south on horseback well.

Take the letter and the porcelain bottle and go to the backyard to find Jia Min.

But as soon as he entered the main courtyard of the central courtyard where the mourning hall was located, he saw the housekeeper beside Jia Min running out in panic.

After seeing Lin Ruhai, he shouted anxiously, "Master, the young lady has fainted."

Lin Ruhai suddenly became very anxious. He had just lost his son and couldn't bear to lose his daughter again.

He ran quickly to the main hall and saw Jia Min and the relatives of the Lin family's side branch, as well as the old women and maids, all surrounding the unconscious Lin Daiyu in panic.

I was in a panic for a while.

After the doctor came to see her, he said worriedly, "Sir, your daughter has been weak since she was a child. If she continues to be so sad and tired, I'm afraid..."

Although the doctor didn't continue, Lin Ruhai knew what he meant.

Because the youngest son had only one sister, Daiyu, he had to let her keep vigil with other relatives of the same generation and younger generations.

According to the rules, we can't let our parents stay in the mourning hall all day, right?

Of course, Daiyu was only accompanied by someone to keep vigil during the day, and her relatives watched over her at night.

But Daiyu is still young and in poor health.

He fainted due to fatigue and sadness.

After paying the medical fee and sending the doctor away, Lin Ruhai was about to ask the housekeeper to pick up the medicine with the prescription when he suddenly thought of the Jiuhua Yulu Pills that Jia Zheng had sent.

He thought to himself, Yu'er has been born with congenital deficiencies. Since this medicine is said to be able to replenish vital energy, isn't it just suitable for Yu'er's situation?
However, Lin Ruhai was still cautious.

It’s not that I doubt Jia Zheng and the Jia family, but I believe everything that the little Taoist priest says. That’s too unguarded.

I was just about to call the housekeeper over and find a willing servant to try out the efficacy of the medicine.

But as soon as this thought came to my mind, I suddenly became worried about what would happen if the medicine was really effective.

My second uncle repeatedly asked for confidentiality, so we can’t just silence that servant, right?

Finally, Lin Ruhai gritted his teeth and thought to himself that since it was sent by the Jia family, at least he could be sure that the medicine could not be poisonous.

Why not try it yourself?

I remembered that the letter also said that if this medicine is given to children, it must be dissolved in water to make a pill.

Feed small amounts to children.

Soon, a Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill was easily dissolved in a bowl of warm water.

Lin Ruhai first drank a little bit, and a faint fragrance came into his mouth with a hint of sweetness.

Just when I was worrying about whether the sweet taste was unusual, the fatigue I had felt over the past few days was actually relieved a lot.

The most important thing is that the back pain caused by taking care of the child's funeral for many days was actually relieved a lot.

He couldn't help but pick up the tea bowl and take another sip, this time drinking at least one-tenth of it.

Calculated based on the amount of 90 blood points, it is equivalent to replenishing 10 blood points for Lin Ruhai.

When Li Jingxiao was seeing patients before, he used to give them this dosage of Panax notoginseng powder.

Not to mention minor illnesses and pains, even a broken arm or leg can be cured with good results.

In a moment, Lin Ruhai felt as if his body had returned to the state it was ten years ago.

Of course, this is just an illusion, but it really does relieve back pain.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed. He carried a tea bowl into Daiyu's room and asked the little maid to use a spoon to feed the unconscious Daiyu.
