Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 26: Entrusting funeral arrangements

Zhang Shoufeng didn't know if his guess was wrong, so he hesitated and didn't answer the call immediately.

Jiang Hua shouted: "Come and continue drinking, let's get drunk with you tonight."

"Grandpa Jiang, this jar of wine is not enough for three people, how can it be intoxicating?" Zhang Jiebin said after hearing this.

"Isn't there a jar of wine on this table? If it's not enough, let the servant go to the wine cellar to get it." Jiang Hua waved his hand and said domineeringly.

"Is this also a wine that has been stored for ten years?" Zhang Jiebin said with some expectation.

"You can mix one of the two jars promised to you." Jiang Hua smiled.

"Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is good, I can't drink much." Zhang Jiebin said quickly, there are only two jars in total, and he is worried about how to divide them among the three masters!

After eating a few more bowls, Jiang Hua began to tell his story. Only then did Zhang Shoufeng and his son realize that Jiang Hua had been in charge of the Hou family for more than forty years and was appointed as a companion by the fourth Lord Hou.<

"I will be seventy next year. I am almost seventy years old. There are not many people of my generation at that time. Oh yes, Zhang Xiaolang's master is one. He is several years older than me!" Jiang Hua said slightly drunkenly.<

/p>

"Ah, Master Jin is already over seventy years old? Why do I look so young?" Zhang Jiebin said in disbelief. Master Jin looks like he is only over sixty years old. He runs around all day long, but he is healthy.

What does it look like to be someone over seventy years old?

"Is this false? Jin Mengshi is seven years older than me, and he is already seventy-six years old this year." Jiang Hua said.

"Seventy-six, then?" Zhang Jiebin sighed, then looked at his father, hesitating to speak.

"You brat, you want to say why I and Brother Mengshi are brothers, right? Have you ever heard of a year-end friendship?" Zhang Shoufeng scolded with a smile, and then slowly began to talk about what happened back then.

"Twenty-one years ago, Hu Gong Zongxian was ordered to oversee the military affairs of Zhejiang, Southern Zhili and Fujian. In order to eliminate the Japanese pirates, he widely issued orders seeking talents. Over the past few years, he has attracted a large number of capable people and strangers to gather under his banner.

I was young at the time, and your grandfather refused to let me go. Soon after my grandfather passed away, I asked for orders to go to the front line after mourning. Duke Hu ordered me to transfer my subordinates to listen to the announcement. On the way there, I happened to save a group of people, one of whom was Meng Shi.

Brother. He got separated from his troops and encountered a small group of Japanese pirates.

After that, the two of us became more and more familiar with each other, and we simply became sworn friends with Jinlan and became friends for eight worshippers. In addition to learning my medical skills from Zheng Ruozeng, I also learned from Brother Mengshi.

Just be worthy of each other."

Zhang Jiebin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "Oh! It turns out that father is my senior brother! Senior brother is on top, junior brother is being polite!"

"Fuck you, no matter how big or small." Zhang Shoufeng laughed and cursed.

"Hahahahaha..." Jiang Hua also laughed.

After laughing, Jiang Hua said: "At that time, the world had been at peace for a long time. The world valued civility over military affairs, the imperial examinations, and the people in common people. However, when the world was in chaos, it was these people in common people who went to the disaster alone, and we all

Your servant is just for eating, not doing anything."

When it comes to the Hou family, Zhang Shoufeng doesn't know how to interrupt. Most of the world's nobles have become decorations and honors. The Dingxi Hou Mansion is better, and the title of Marquis was relatively late, and it was done for real.

But except for the first and second marquises who had outstanding military exploits and the third and fourth marquises who could barely maintain their careers, starting from the fifth term, their prestige declined seriously. By now, the seventh term is no different from other founding figures.

Averagely bad.

From the time when he was the fourth Marquis of Dingxi, Jiang Hua witnessed that each generation in the Marquis House was not as good as the previous one, and he became even more anxious. He waved his servant to go down, and then Jiang Hua continued.

"Chang Geng, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. Since you tried to enter the Marquis Mansion three years ago, I sent people to Shanyin to inquire about you. After several examinations, the old Marquis and I chose you. Later, the Marquis

After his death, the matter was delayed and I didn’t reply to you until last year.”

Only then did Zhang Shoufeng and Zhang Jiebin know that there was such a story behind his resignation.

"How can Chang Geng be so virtuous and talented as to win the favor of the old marquis and the old gentleman!" Zhang Shoufeng stood up in a hurry and said.

"You're right, I won't misjudge the person. Although the young Marquis has been a prince for a short time now, you must have noticed during this period that the young Marquis does nothing but have fun. I'm here

We can also check for leaks and fill them up. If one day, he suddenly passes away, what will the Marquis Mansion do?" Jiang Hua said the last words with tears streaming down his face.

Zhang Shoufeng and his son hurriedly tried to persuade them.

Zhang Jiebin said: "Grandpa Jiang, don't worry, with my father and son here, the Hou Mansion will only be more prosperous."

Jiang Hua held the hands of Zhang Shoufeng, Zhang Jiebin and his son, and said eagerly: "Is this true? Can Chang Geng take this seriously?"

Zhang Shoufeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "What the guest said is exactly what I meant."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Jiang Hua yelled three times, and then continued: "Chang Geng, I am not forcing anyone to make things difficult for you. There is no more suitable candidate than you. I will not make it difficult for you, as long as

Just fulfill your responsibilities. I have been planning hard for forty years, but the prince's mansion is still in decline. It's because I can't teach you well."

"Mr. Jiang is serious. The Marquis is already very good. He is much better than other princes in the capital." Zhang Shoufeng spoke very carefully.

"I have seen the little Marquis since I was a child. I know exactly what he is like." Jiang Hua said with a bitter smile, and then said: "Chang Geng, you are more responsible and did not go out with the little Marquis to have fun, so you never found out.

The little Marquis' little move. He was trying to guard against me, so he never showed it in the house."

Zhang Jiebin was confused when he heard this. He always felt that something was happening. He began to regret what he had just said.

Zhang Shoufeng is also in a dilemma at this moment. Before, he only knew that the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion was a decent man with outstanding abilities and good housekeeping. Jiang Jianyuan ascended the throne and was a polite and virtuous corporal, hoping to make a difference.

And he just wanted to use the power of the Marquis Mansion to get rid of his status as a military household, and to give Jie Bin a platform to stand out in the prosperous age, so they hit it off immediately.

Now I know that Mr. Jiang Hua is old and Jiang Jianyuan is different from inside to outside. So can he really continue to work in this Houfu?

Having said so much just now, there is no way out now. Moreover, after more than two months, both Jiang Jianyuan and Jiang Hua have been extremely polite to him. How can he just walk away?

Seeing Zhang Shoufeng's confusion, Jiang Hua did not urge him and just drank by himself.

It took a long time for Zhang Shoufeng to clarify his thoughts, make up his mind, and solemnly said: "Chang Geng has reached the age of forty, and I don't know how many years he can live. I will give this bone to the Hou Mansion to repay the kindness of knowing him. But Jie Bin is young.

, the future is promising, let him walk his own path!"

Jiang Hua was overjoyed when he heard this and said excitedly: "This is natural, I also have a generous gift to give you."
