Chapter 717 The Dog Emperor's Dog
Old man Xun was still very curious, muttering: "Logically speaking, with your health, you should be fine to go home in the snow. You shouldn't get sick from the cold you got from making a snowman. Why did you get sick?"
Old man Xun claimed to be a miracle doctor and did not want to ruin his reputation, so he grabbed Jiang Dalang's hand and continued to take his pulse.
After a moment, he was startled and said solemnly: "Da Lang, kindness does not lead the army. Since you have chosen the path of the army, you must be indifferent to life and death. Don't worry about killing the spy. Once your heart is hurt, you will easily get sick."
Old man Xun thought that Jiang Dalang had killed too many enemies at once and he couldn't bear it, so he was worried and afraid.
Jiang Dalang looked at him steadily and smiled: "You made a good diagnosis. If anyone asks, just tell me so."
Old man Xun's scalp went numb. Oh no, he actually diagnosed the wrong cause?!
"I understand." Old Man Xun smiled and said, "I'll give you a few injections to make you sweat. You'll be fine after a good sleep. You don't need to take medicine. It won't ruin the New Year celebrations for several families."
Jiang Dalang agreed and let Old Man Xun give him a few injections.
After one round of acupuncture, he broke out in a sweat and the feeling of light-headedness improved.
"Your medical skills are good." Jiang Dalang praised him, put on his clothes, and went back to the Qin family's shop to have breakfast.
But the Qin family still learned of his illness and specially called Old Xun to ask about his condition.
Hearing that Jiang Dalang fell ill due to excessive worry over killing the enemy and catching a cold, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin felt extremely distressed.
"Don't be afraid, Dalang. Those are the enemies who are going to invade us. Killing them is showing loyalty to the dynasty and saving the people of Wei. It is a good deed. You don't need to feel guilty!" Grandpa Qin advised.
"You look fierce, but I didn't expect that you would worry about this? You are still young. Listen to what your uncle says..." Uncle Qin chattered.
Grandma Qin wiped her tears and said, "Our Dalang has suffered."
Jiang Dalang smiled and comforted his family: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine... In the mountains, Lang Qianhu and the others have already counseled me, and said that it would be better if the disease breaks out, and my mood will be more open. Now I feel much better, and my body and mind are relaxed and clear."
"Yes, yes, you are young, you should relax your body and mind and not think too much." Grandma Qin agreed and called Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, your brother Dalang is sick."
As my fiancée, please say a few words of concern to me!
Qin Xiaomi was silent for a while, then said, "Don't hold it in when something happens. The more you hold it in, the more you'll get sick... Take good care of yourself and have a happy New Year."
The Dog Emperor killed people like crazy and never felt any psychological burden because of killing, but Jiang Dalang suffered from mental illness because of killing the Dongmo spy.
"Well, Xiaomi, I will listen to you and take good care of myself. Don't worry, Xiaomi." Jiang Dalang looked at her and smiled, his whole body filled with joy, because he could feel that what Su Su said just now was sincere.
Because of this illness, she was less suspicious of him and even comforted him sincerely.
Old Man Xun: "..."
Continue to reduce your presence and dare not speak.
Until Grandma Qin called him: "Mr. Xun, please prescribe some medicine for Dalang to take, so that his illness won't recur and he won't be able to celebrate the New Year well."
Old man Xun didn't dare to make the decision on his own, so he looked to Jiang Dalang.
Jiang Dalang said, "Then prescribe some medicine for everyone in the family to take to prevent colds."
Grandma Qin agreed the most: "Da Lang is right. Elder Xun, please prescribe a few more doses of medicine. Our family, no, several families, including the servants, should all drink a bowl as a precaution."
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
My dear, there is really no need to do this.
But, if this can help the elderly sleep well, then just eat it. Anyway, we have plenty of medicinal herbs at home and can afford it.
Qin Xiaomi nodded. Old Man Xun said, "Okay, I'll prescribe the medicine right away."
After writing the prescription, Grandma Qin gave it to Qin Xiaomi: "Go get the medicine and make the soup. Anyway, you don't have anything to do now."
Other things such as checking accounts, copying and backing up account books, and preparing medicinal materials were all done by the servants.
Qin Xiaomi was dissatisfied: "Grandma, I have too much to do. I am so busy that I haven't even produced my pine ointment."
In the cold winter, many people suffer from lacerations on their hands and feet. It is a good time to start selling pine ointment, but it is delayed because of the spies.
"The workshops are closed for holiday. We are only doing personal business now. Don't argue. Go get the medicine and boil it." Grandma Qin didn't listen and just created an opportunity for her and Jiang Dalang.
Qin Xiaomi had no choice but to get up and get the medicine.
"Xiaomi, let me help you." Jiang Dalang stood up and followed.
Seeing this, Grandma Qin couldn't stop smiling, and she also reminded Qin Xiaomi: "Let Dalang help you, and don't drive Dalang away!"
Old man Xun didn't dare to say anything... Old lady, don't be happy. Your granddaughter is too deeply entangled in this kind of thing. I don't know whether it is good or bad.
Jiang Dalang knew that Qin Xiaomi was annoyed with him, so he just followed her silently, not daring to say much. It was not until lunch time and the medicine was ready that Qin Xiaomi could no longer hold back, stared at him, and asked, "If you are so afraid of me, then go find my grandparents and ask them to cancel the engagement."
"Da Lang, you are still young and don't understand the hardship of marrying a domineering wife. Look at how cautious you are. After marrying me, you will not have to live this cautious life for just one day, but for years and years, for fifty or sixty years. You are a grown man, a future general, can you bear this kind of humiliation?"
"You can't stand it. How can a general be bullied by his wife? If the soldiers under your command knew about it, you would be so embarrassed."
"So, Dalang, you have to be tougher, break off the engagement, marry the gentle and virtuous official lady, and take in a few beautiful concubines, so you can live a life with a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines. Such a life is so wonderful, just thinking about it, I want to be reborn as a man to live such a life."
"Don't you want to? If you do, do it now."
Hahaha, Jiang Dalang couldn't help but laugh out loud... Susu is really cute.
Qin Xiaomi's face turned cold: "What are you laughing at? I have given you so much advice, and you think it's a joke? You are looking for death!"
The last three words were filled with murderous intent.
She really dared to kill him.
After all, she gave dividends to the Jiang family. This dividend money was a fortune that a farmer's son could not earn in ten lifetimes. She had already paid off the debt for this body, and she did not owe the Jiang family anything.
"I didn't take it as a joke. I have seriously considered it." Jiang Dalang stopped laughing and said seriously, "I know Xiaomi doesn't like me, but I can't easily like someone else. But I won't force Xiaomi... Erlang is still here, so let him get married and have children as soon as possible to continue the Jiang family's incense."
"And I can guard the border for the rest of my life, Xiaomi, don't be too afraid of me."
Jiang Dalang said: "A real man should make achievements and defend the country and the people. It is not necessary to marry or have children. This is what Captain Lang said. Moreover, there are many soldiers in the Wei army who have not married at the age of 30, and some even never marry in their entire lives."
Qin Xiaomi was shocked: "You, still have such an idea?"
Jiang Dalang nodded and said, "The battle in the mountains opened my eyes and made me understand a lot of things... We have many meaningful things to do while we are alive. There is no need to be obsessed with getting married and having children."
Qin Xiaomi was embarrassed. What you said made what I said before seem like a child throwing a tantrum.
Comparing the two conversations, it seems that you are indeed being unreasonable.
However, you still don't know enough about the Dog Emperor's dog.
His words just now sounded righteous, as if he wanted to serve his country all his life, but the whole thing only meant one thing, that is, even if he is still single, he will pester you for the rest of his life!
