As time passed, the symptoms of itching on Hao Ge'er's body became lighter and lighter, and the scabs on his body fell off more and more.

On this day, after Dr. Jian checked Brother Hao'er's pulse, he said to Yuxi with a smile: "Princess, the prince will be cured in four or five days." "When you are healed, you can go out and no longer have to lie in bed.

Yuxi nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Doctor Jian thought for a moment and said, "Princess, you have a very bad complexion, let Old Man show you!" Yuxi's face was pale and haggard, looking very bad.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No, I know my own body, but I'm tired." When Hao is well, I will rest for a while. ”

Tong Fang said on the side: "Princess, you let Dr. Jian take a look!"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No." By the way, you hurry up and let people tell the prince the good news, don't let the prince worry. ”

Yun Qing knew that Brother Hao was almost cured, and finally no longer had a cold face that could freeze to death: "After Ah Hao comes out, I will go and pick up Brother Rui and they will come back." ”

Xu Wu said with a smile: "Finally, the rain has passed." During this time, because of Brother Hao'er's illness, every one of them was out of breath. Now it's okay, Brother Hao is finally better, and they can sleep soundly.

Xu Daniu said outside: "Lord Wang, the governor of Jiangnan has an excerpt to be delivered. "Now they are all called official names, and they are no longer called by personal names.

Yunqing opened the fold and saw that there was a letter inside. Putting the fold aside, Yunqing opened the letter first. After reading the letter, Yunqing asked Xu Wu: "Do you know about Uncle Huo's rush back to Haocheng from Jinling?"

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "Last time he replied that he was going to take Yu Xin to Xiayi to meet Huo Yan, and then come back together." What's the matter, my father-in-law rushed back from Jinling?"

Yun Qing put down the letter and said, "Uncle Huo heard that Brother Hao had smallpox and hurried back. ”

This was expected by Xu Wu: "My father-in-law loves Brother Hao the most, and it is not impossible to know that I will definitely hurry back in a hurry." Because of this, he didn't dare to tell Huo Changqing about this, for fear that he would rush back regardless of it.

Yun Qing thought for a while and said, "Uncle Huo is old, and he can't stand the fatigue of long-distance travel. You immediately send someone to deliver a letter to Uncle Huo, don't let him worry. ”

Xu Wu hurriedly responded.

At this time, Huo Changqing had already arrived in Yangzhou. If he was young, it would have been long enough for him to rush back to Ho City from Jinling. But now that I'm older, I can't stand the bumps, let alone stay up late.

Huo Changqing wanted to hurry at night, but Ade stopped him alive. In addition, the guards around him were all on Ade's side, and Huo Changqing had no choice but to let them.

It was almost dark, and the group arrived in Guxian County, which is subordinate to Yangzhou. Immediately, the group stopped at the inn in Guxian.

Meals are delivered directly to the house. Huo Changqing looked at the food on the table, and had no appetite at all: "It's been so many days, and I don't know how Brother Hao is?"

Ade put a piece of meat from the fish's belly into Huo Changqing's bowl and said, "Don't worry, the old lady, the prince will definitely be fine." ”

Huo Changqing said angrily: "How do you know?" Unexpectedly, Lin Lao was restrained by a stupid boy. Huo Changqing was very resentful of Ade stopping him from traveling overnight.

Ade put a piece of braised pork in his mouth, and said while chewing: "Old lady, you said it yourself, the prince is the reincarnation of the emperor." Since the prince is the emperor star, no matter what happens, he can turn the danger into a disaster. Ade spoke too loudly, and was heard by Xiao Er, who served the soup.

Huo Changqing remembered the vision of Brother Hao'er when he was born, and his heart was a little relieved. Before he could speak, he saw Xiao Er at the door, and immediately frowned and said, "Did you hear what we said just now?"

Xiao Er knelt on the ground and said, "Please spare your life." He wished he hadn't heard it!

Ade swallowed the braised pork and said with a big mouth: "Old lady, if you hear it, you hear it, and this is not a bad thing." "People with simple brains think simply.

Huo Changqing deeply regretted it at this time, why did he slip his mouth in front of this second cargo that day! But killing people for this matter is also a bit of a fuss. Huo Changqing said: "As long as you can control your mouth, I can spare your life." ”

Xiao Er kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, your nobles, this small thing will rot in your stomach, and you won't say a word." "I just want to save my life at the moment, where do I dare to think about anything else.

Huo Changqing glanced at the guard at the door. The head of the guard nodded, and then lifted Xiao Er out like a chicken. Only two fluttering sentences, how can Huo Changqing rest assured. must give Xiao Er a profound lesson, so that he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. It is also Huo Chang's young age that is soft-hearted, if he is young, he will definitely solve Xiao Er. In this way, there will be no aftermath.

After Xiao Er took away, Huo Changqing looked at Ade, who looked innocent, and said angrily: "In the future, when you are outside, don't talk again." "Such a confidential thing is said in front of everyone, and only a brainless person would do such a thing.

When I'm older, I don't like people with too complicated minds, so Huo Changqing deliberately chose Ade, a simple-minded person, to accompany him. As a result, he was pitted by this second goods.

Ade sighed and said, "Okay, then I won't talk outside after that." After speaking, Ade looked at Huo Changqing and said, "Then can you eat it now?" After eating dry food for two days in a row, it is rare to eat hot meals, and the dishes in this restaurant are still very good, only a little worse than Bai's mother's.

Huo Changqing lifted the chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat, eat." "Ade's appetite is very good, and he eats three bowls of rice at a time. Of course, it is also because of this that Huo Changqing likes to eat with him, and eating with such a person will be very appetizing.

On the morning of the third day, Huo Changqing got the news that Brother Hao was fine. Huo Changqing couldn't help but mutter: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Ade said beside him: "Old lady, I said a long time ago that the prince is fine, you are completely worried. "Ade is really not worried at all, he eats well and sleeps soundly every day.

Huo Changqing said angrily: "If they are all like you, then there will be nothing." "People with simple brains live an easy life.

Passing by a small town at noon, Huo Changqing ordered him to go down and rest in the town. The year has come up, and he has been rushing for several days in a row, Huo Changqing has long been too tired, he was worried that Brother Hao'er's illness has been strong, and now that he knows that Brother Hao is fine, he is not in a hurry to rush back, and he is going to rest here for two days and slow down.

Yunqing got the news and knew that Huo Changqing was not in the way, so he was relieved.

Xu Wu hesitated and said, "Lord Wang, my father-in-law said that he wanted to raise Yu Xin personally. Lord Wang, what do you think of this?" got along for more than a month and cultivated a relationship, so Huo Changqing wanted to raise it personally, which would also be beneficial to the child's growth.

Yunqing didn't immediately agree: "I have to discuss this matter with the princess first." "Naturally, he has no opinion, but if Yuxi doesn't agree, it won't be good for Yu Xin to live in the palace. Yunqing didn't want to make Yuxi unhappy because of a Yu Xin.

Xu Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "This should also be." "I feel that the prince is about to become a wife and slave.

I didn't dare to show anything in the palace, but when I returned home, I no longer hid my emotions.

Ling Shi looked at Xu Wu's face and asked hurriedly, "Master, what's wrong?"

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "No." In a few days, the prince will be healed. ”

Ling Shi didn't understand at this moment, and asked, "In that case, why is the old man worried?

Xu Wu said about Yu Xin: "I didn't expect that the prince would also consult the princess for such a trivial matter?" This shows that in the prince's mind, the princess's status is higher than that of her father-in-law. This made Xu Wu feel very uncomfortable.

Ling pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Master, the princess is the mistress of the palace, and it is right for the princess to ask her opinion. Moreover, Yu Cong's death has something to do with the princess, if the princess has a pimple in her heart, it is not good to let the child in the palace. ”

That's what I said, but my heart is still panicked. In the past, the prince respected his father-in-law the most, and he would listen to whatever his father-in-law said. But now everything depends on the princess, and the father-in-law has to lean back.

Ling looked at Xu Wu's appearance, thought for a moment and said, "If the father-in-law really wants to raise the child, and the princess doesn't want the child to stay in the palace, then please ask the father-in-law to live in our mansion." Sir, do you think that's good?"

Xu Wu couldn't wait for Huo Changqing to come to his house, but he knew very well in his heart that this was impossible: "My father-in-law is reluctant to let the lord of the county and the prince of the world." If the princess does not agree to keep Yu Xin in the palace, her father-in-law will definitely back down and will not raise Yu Xin. "In the father-in-law's mind, Yu Xin is not as important as the lord of the county and the prince.

Ling Shi was relieved: "In this case, then according to what was agreed before, let Yu Xin be raised by Sister-in-law Feng! Sister-in-law Feng has a good temperament and patience, and she will definitely be able to raise Yu Xin as well as Zhi Ao Zhixi and them." "Feng Dajun's two sons, Feng Zhiao can be selected as the companion of the prince, not to mention his reading ability and character, even the youngest son Zhixi is also very motivated.

Xu Wu nodded slightly.

Ling thought for a moment and said, "Master, my father-in-law is as kind to the prince as a mountain, but the princess is a hard worker, in fact, the prince is quite difficult to do. She already knew why Xu Wu was not very comfortable. It's nothing more than that he feels that the prince is biased towards the princess and doesn't pay attention to Huo Changqing.

Xu Wu smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that it is difficult for the prince to do, but this is a panic in my heart." ”

Ling Shi weighed it in his heart and said, "Master, to say something that you don't like, it is the princess who accompanies the prince to old age, not his father-in-law. Besides, this is also a trivial matter, and it is estimated that the prince did not think about it so much. The Ling family knew in his heart that Huo Changqing was a more important person than her in Xu Wu's mind, so he hoped that the prince could do the same. When expectations are disappointed, I naturally feel a little uncomfortable.

In this regard, the Ling family did not feel uncomfortable. Because Xu Wu treats Huo Changqing as a father. This daughter-in-law is not comparable to her father. If you really compare with each other, it's all about looking for abuse.

Xu Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't talk about it." By the way, the Zhen clan has been honest recently, right? You haven't made trouble with Ruoyuan anymore, have you?" Ling Ruoyuan listened to Xu Wu's suggestion and invited the clan elders to come forward, so that the Zhen clan didn't dare to make trouble again. In order to prevent tongue-in-law, he rented a courtyard for Zhen's family, and sent a mother-in-law and a little maid to serve her, and the daily consumption was controlled by the mother-in-law, but there was an expense of five taels of silver for Zhen's every month.

was originally fine, but a few days ago, the two children born to Zhen's descendants took refuge in her. There is a fixed amount of food and clothing, and Ling Ruoyuan's daughter-in-law does not give more because there are two more people. Zhen looked for Ling Ruoyuan for the two sons behind him, and even asked Ling Ruoyuan to find an errand for his two younger brothers.

The Ling family was already tired of the Zhen family: "If she wants to make trouble, just make trouble! Even if it goes to the edge of the sky, no one will say that there is anything wrong with Ruoyuan not raising the son of the Zeng family." There was a coldness in his words. Such a mother might as well be dead.

Xu Wu thought for a while and said: "It's not a matter if it goes on like this, has Ruoyuan ever thought about finding a foreign appointment? If he goes to work in a foreign country, it will be beneficial to his career first, and he can also get rid of Zhen's family." "Ling Ruoyuan will take his wife and children to a foreign post at that time, and come back in ten or eight years, who knows if Zhen is still alive.

The Ling family naturally wanted her younger brother to find a foreign position, but she didn't want to open her mouth to Xu Wu. Now that Xu Wu opened his mouth, the Ling clan naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity: "Master thinks it's better to let Ruoyuan go to that place to serve?"

Xu Wu said: "Yunnan and Guangxi have already laid down most of the territory, if you are not afraid of hardship, you can find an errand in these two places." If you are transferred back after three or five years in office, it will be easy to be promoted at that time. ”

Ling said with a smile: "I'll ask Ruoyuan tomorrow what he means." "Guangxi and Yunnan are both very backward places, and many people are reluctant to go. Of course, many people are reluctant to go to those two places mainly for fear that it will be difficult to come back after going to that place. However, Ling Ruoyuan has Xu Wu's brother-in-law, so he is not worried about whether he will come back.

Xu Wu thought for a while and explained: "It's okay to find a foreign appointment in Jiangnan, but if you go to Jiangnan, you can transfer it at most." You can go to Yunnan to at least upgrade one level. Where he wants to go, think about it and tell me. "It is not difficult for Xu Wu to find a foreign appointment for his brother-in-law.

Ling said: "Let him make his own decision. "Each has its own advantages and its own disadvantages.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ling Ruoyuan still chose Jiangnan. First, it is too dangerous for Yunnan and Guangzhou to be pacified, and second, Jiangnan is a rich place, and it is the place where officials want to go the most.

If she had to choose, she would choose to go to Yunnan or Guangxi, because it would be beneficial to her career. So after listening to Ling Ruoyuan, Ling asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Ling Ruoyuan nodded and said, "Sister, I've thought about it seriously, so I'll go to Jiangnan." "Not only Ling Ruoyuan wants to go to Jiangnan, but his wife Zhao also wants to go to Jiangnan.

The younger brother was not a son after all, and when the Ling clan saw that he had made a decision, he didn't say anything more: "Okay, I'll tell your brother-in-law about this later." ”
