Chapter 108 High fives as an oath
"Yes! Madam Mu is a good person!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jianjia no longer thanked Mu Jiaojiao, but instead criticized Mu Jiaojiao and gave her a good guy card.
Mu Jiaojiao: “…”
Why does it feel a bit like the modern "You are a good person, but I refuse you even if you are tempted"?
"Madam Mu, I heard from my brother that when I get better, he will go to the military camp to join the army. My brother has wanted to be a general since he was a child."
This time, Zhao Jianjia didn't say thank you, but expressed gratitude. She knew her brother well. If it weren't for her body weighing him down, he would have joined the army long ago.
Now that he has become Mu Jiaojiao's subordinate, if Mu Jiaojiao does not allow it, his brother, who is a stubborn person, will definitely not make this decision.
"Well! He has the talent to become a general."
Mu Jiaojiao was a little surprised when she heard what Zhao Jianjia said. She didn't expect Zhao Xiangyi to tell Zhao Jianjia about the matter so early.
"A thousand-mile horse still needs a good horse trainer. It was Madam Mu who appreciated my brother and gave him the opportunity."
Zhao Jianjia spoke to Mu Jiaojiao calmly, her tone gentle, and a hint of relief, relief that they had met Mu Jiaojiao.
"Madam Mu, when Jianjia is well again, please allow her to be your servant."
Then Zhao Jianjia spoke to Mu Jiaojiao with a firm look, as if she had made a big decision, with a hint of admiration and respect in her tone.
"Miss Jianjia, with your talent, ability, and status, you don't have to put yourself in such a difficult position."
Mu Jiaojiao was a little surprised by what Zhao Jianjia said. Zhao Jianjia was indeed a talented person. Although she was a woman, Mu Jiaojiao felt that she was very insightful. She didn't expect that she would say that she would become her slave.
"Madam Mu, Jianjia doesn't feel wronged. This is a decision she made after careful consideration.
Doing this is a good outcome for both Jianjia and her brother. First of all, Jianjia wants her brother to be able to do what he wants in peace in the future without having to worry about me.
The first half of his life was tied to Jianjia, and in the second half, Jianjia hoped that he would live for her.
Secondly, Jianjia admires Madam Mu and believes that although she is a woman, she can do things in Dayu that are no less than those of men.
Jianjia is also a woman, but she also has the ambition to step out of the inner chamber and stir up the world with Madam Mu.
Zhao Jianjia looked at Mu Jiaojiao and analyzed the reasons why she did this to her in a clear and logical manner. She also told her with a burning gaze that she didn't just want to live in the backyard.
When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, a smile appeared on her face. She admired Zhao Jianjia more and more.
Not only is he open-minded, but he is also resilient, and he exudes an indomitable courage in his bones.
"In that case, I'll be grateful for your guidance from now on."
Mu Jiaojiao stretched out her right palm, with a smile on her face, and smiled sincerely at Zhao Jianjia.
How could she not laugh?
I have received another general who is both wise and handsome!
"Snapped!"
Zhao Jianjia was also very understanding. She reached out her hand and high-fived Mu Jiaojiao as a sign of alliance, with an excited smile on her face. Her wonderful life away from the bed was about to begin.
"Let's high-five and swear an oath. Master, please give me guidance in the future."
The two women, on this afternoon with gentle autumn breeze and bright sunshine, reached a consensus to support each other in the ups and downs of the future.
Outside the courtyard, Zhao Xiangyi took a step back and looked at the two women in the courtyard who occupied an important position in his life, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
He thought that he would make a name for himself for these two people, and he would keep a peace that belonged only to these two people in this turbulent world.
Afterwards, Zhao Xiangyi turned around and walked away. He didn't want to interfere with his sister's decision. It really made him feel at ease to know that Jianjia was following her master.
Afterwards, Mu Jiaojiao chatted with Zhao Jianjia in the yard for a while, and then Meng He brought Ge Dagen in.
"Sister Jiaojiao, thank you for saving my wife last night. Here are a few eggs that our family saved. I know Sister Jiaojiao definitely doesn't need these, but I still hope you can accept them for the two children."
Ge Dagen was holding a basket of eggs, probably more than twenty of them. When he saw Mu Jiaojiao, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he spoke with some embarrassment.
"Brother Dagen, you're too polite. We're just short of eggs. My two kids were clamoring for egg custard yesterday. This saves me the trip to town to buy some."
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao stood up, took the eggs, and spoke to Ge Dagen with a smile. She knew that life was hard these days, and these eggs were probably saved by Ge Dagen's family to sell for money so that they could store food for the winter.
Although the egg was not worth much to her, it was a token of kindness from Ge Dagen, an honest countryman, so she did not refuse it.
"Hehe! That's perfect, give the kids some nourishment!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Dagen showed a sincere and honest smile on his face. He rubbed his hands and smiled at Mu Jiaojiao and others.
"Master, I just went to see Madam Li again. She's gotten much better, but she still can't eat."
Meng He looked at his young master, and then told Mu Jiaojiao in detail about what happened when he went out to see Li Xiaoyue just now. He then asked about the diagnosis result. He took Li Xiaoyue's pulse last night and determined that it was erysipelas.
"Master, is this Madam Li poisoned?"
Meng He is a medical enthusiast and is also interested in the fertility pill that Li Xiaoyue mentioned. Although he slept late last night, he still went to see the patient with great interest this morning and did not charge Ge Dagen and others any money.
After hearing what Meng He said, Mu Jiaojiao invited Ge Dagen to sit down and have tea, and then handed the eggs to Zhao Jianjia. Zhao Jianjia naturally took it and took it into the kitchen.
"Yes, it is indeed erysipelas."
Mu Jiaojiao nodded and answered, it was actually cinnabar poisoning, or heavy metal poisoning, which is indeed collectively called erysipelas in this era.
"Logically, taking it once shouldn't cause such severe symptoms. It seems this fertility pill contains too much cinnabar and other substances."
After hearing this, Meng He analyzed the situation and it was clear that Meng He was indeed a doctor with excellent medical skills.
"Judging from what happened last night, the medicine Sister Li took might have contained a large amount of cinnabar, which can't even be called an elixir. It was also mixed with drugs that catalyzed her illness, which is why her illness became so severe."
"This, this is simply unscrupulous."
Meng He couldn't help but spit when he heard this. This kind of medicine can kill people.
"Brother Dagen, do you know where Sister Li got the medicine?"
Mu Jiaojiao was calm. She just encountered someone selling fake medicine. It was just that the fake medicine seller's skills were not up to standard and his medicine was really clumsy, which almost caused a loss of life.
"I asked my wife, and she said she wanted a child very much. An aunt in their village, after learning about her situation, told her that there was a temple dedicated to the goddess Guanyin that was particularly effective in praying for children.
My wife believed her and spent a tael of silver to get medicine from the temple, but she almost…"
Ge Dagen was also very angry. His wife was really stupid. The child would come slowly, and he didn't urge her. Now not only was she cheated of money, but she almost lost her life.
