Chapter 324: Medicinal Bath (Part 1)
Coming out of the palace in the afterglow of the setting sun, Sun Shaozong still felt mixed emotions when he thought of the expressions on the faces of the Korean envoys.
As a Korean envoy, is it wrong for me to refuse to collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty?
As a tribute envoy from a vassal state, is it wrong to take the initiative to avoid fighting with the suzerain state?
As for Du Ning's life or death...
Even if a hundred remnants of the previous dynasty died, what would it have to do with him, a Korean envoy? !
What about the "new-style musket"? Isn't it something that only useless people who can't draw a hard bow can use? Using this thing to win the favor of the suzerain country is simply worth it, isn't it? !
Therefore, in the eyes of the Korean envoy Li Enxian, not only did he not do anything wrong, but he also made great contributions!
Especially after Emperor Guangde was so pleased that he bestowed upon him a large amount of money and gifts, as well as a considerable number of bows and crossbows, and allowed Korea to continue paying tribute by sea, Li Enxian felt that his trip had been a complete success.
Sun Shaozong was standing by at the side at the time, and saw him so excited that he burst into tears and spoke incoherently, and he was almost about to shout out "It is the greatest honor to be a dog of the Great Zhou". He really didn't know how to complain in his heart.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Li Enxian's short-sightedness. After all, the muskets in the early fifteenth century were discriminated against weapons. Even Emperor Guangde might not have known what kind of sparks would emerge once those new muskets were deployed on a large scale!
Among all the people present, perhaps only Sun Shaozong knew what Li Enxian had missed.
And this feeling of witnessing history but not being able to tell anyone at all...
It’s really so frustrating!
Forget it~
It is not my turn to worry about national affairs right now, so I should go home and see my son first. I miss him a lot after not seeing him for the past few days.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong untied the reins and was about to get on the horse, but suddenly he heard someone shouting from the side: "Master Sun, have you finished your official duties?"
Sun Shaozong looked in the direction of the voice and saw two servants from the Rongguo Mansion approaching with smiles on their faces.
"What are you doing here?"
Sun Shaozong asked curiously, "How are the conditions of your Second Master Bao and Second Madam Lian? Have they improved?"
"this……"
The leading servant laughed and said, "We had originally agreed to start the exorcism at noon, but the masters were arguing and making too much noise that they were not able to prepare, so we had to postpone it to midnight."
Another servant said, "Our Second Master thought that others were still lacking some magical powers, so he sent us here to see if Lord Sun could ... hehe."
Damn~
After working all day, even the gunpowder bureau was taken over by the Northern Pacification Office, but why can't he escape this "eye-catching" job?
But since Jia Zheng had chosen him, Sun Shaozong could no longer make excuses. Otherwise, if something happened to Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng survived, wouldn't Jia Zheng and his wife hate him for the rest of their lives?
Sun Shaozong had no choice but to follow the servants of the Jia family and return to Rongguo Mansion.
When everyone in the Jia family heard that he was back, they were naturally overjoyed. Jia Zheng even personally held the pot and drank with Sun Shaozong.
The result...
It was not even midnight when the second master slipped under the table. It was estimated that he would not wake up before dawn.
But it’s better this way. It saves him from being nervous the whole night. He just needs to wait until he sobers up and then ask for the result directly.
The book does not elaborate.
When it was almost midnight, a loud shout suddenly came from the Bodhidharma Temple, which had been temporarily converted into a bathhouse: "Please return to your place, evil star!"
You have returned to your place, and your whole family has returned to their place!
Sun Shaozong secretly complained in his heart, but he couldn't protest. After all, these days "returning to the throne" and "returning to the west" were not synonymous.
So he could only pick up the various protective magic weapons given by the monks, Taoist priests and witches and hurried into the inner room.
The Buddha statues and other things inside remained intact, except for two bathtubs placed on the stove in the center, and the bathtubs contained "medicine" for treating diseases.
Now, of the stoves under the two bathtubs, one has been extinguished for a long time, but the other is still burning, and it is unknown how long it has been cooking.
Anyway, just after entering the door, a wave of heat mixed with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine choked Sun Shaozong's nose, causing him to sneeze four or five times in a row. Only then did he find his own Feng Shui throne - the jade pillow - in the 'rising clouds'.
Don't get me wrong, this is a real jade cushion, covered with tiny jade pieces, and a Yin-Yang Bagua diagram is faintly arranged on it. It looks like it is very expensive.
According to those masters, all Sun Shaozong needs to do is sit firmly in the auspicious position and not move.
But after he sat down on the jade mat, he was sweating profusely in a short while - although the temperature was not as high as that of a sauna, the problem was that he was still wearing a lot of clothes.
Just as she was hesitating whether to take off some of her clothes, she saw the door curtain being lifted and a person walked in first - it was Qingwen, the second-class maid in Baoyu's room [only Xiren was first-class].
"Meet Lord Sun."
She just bowed slightly, walked forward and put her hand into the bucket with the fire turned off, then she opened the curtain and ran out.
Soon the curtain was raised again, and four maids came in carrying Baoyu. Leading the way were Qingwen and Lin Xiaohong - the one Jia Yun was thinking about.
The two behind are the sisters Jinchuan and Yuchuan from Mrs. Wang’s room.
Baoyu was not tied to the stretcher and looked drowsy. He must have taken some drugs or something.
Then the four maids carried Baoyu to the turned-off bathtub. They looked at each other for a few seconds, but all showed some embarrassment.
In the end, it was Qingwen who gritted her teeth and took the initiative to unbutton Jia Baoyu's collar, and the other three followed suit.
Seeing them strip Jia Baoyu clean in no time and then struggling to help him into the tub, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but ask, "Are you four the only ones waiting in there later?"
The other three all lowered their heads and did not reply. Only Qingwen said half proudly and half disdainfully, "The masters said that only women with a perfect virginity can get close to the Second Master and Second Madam Lian."
The body without leaks?
Sun Shaozong suddenly found it unbelievable. Qingwen was also a top beauty in the Yihong Courtyard. Her figure and appearance were even better than Xiren and Sheyue. She was also quite favored by Baoyu on weekdays. How could she still retain her chastity?
Is she unwilling to submit, or...
Crash~
"Oh, you should be more careful!"
Just as he was thinking about some random things, he suddenly heard Qingwen's coquettish cry. Sun Shaozong looked carefully and found that when Baoyu entered the water, Lin Xiaohong failed to control the strength well, and stirred up a huge splash of water, which only soaked Qingwen's head and face.
Qingwen quickly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the soup off her face, but she didn't care about the collar of her clothes which was also soaked by the soup. The thin green gauze fell down, revealing her "rich" true appearance...
Huh?
It turns out that this job, apart from being "eye-catching", does have some benefits!
Sun Shaozong was immediately cheered up, and the subsequent treatment process did not disappoint his expectations - although no similar accidents occurred again, as time went by, the hot and sticky medicinal vapor gradually soaked into the clothes of several maids.
In the end, she was still wearing clothes, but they were tightly wrapped around her body, which, apart from adding some interest, could not hide anything at all...
