Xu Wu knew that Ling Ruoyuan wanted to go to Jiangnan and didn't want to go to Yunnan and Guangxi, so he shook his head and said, "Since he wants to go to Jiangnan, then let him go to Jiangnan!" Ling Ruoyuan is now the official position of the seventh grade, if he goes to Yunnan or Guangxi, it should be no big problem for him to make a general judgment of the sixth grade. It's a pity that Ling Ruoyuan is reluctant to go, and it is impossible to go to Jiangnan. It must still be the official position of Zhengqipin. Lost this opportunity, Ling Ruoyuan is not a scientific candidate, and in the future, he can only slowly improve his qualifications step by step. However, this was his own choice, and Xu Wu did not want to say more. It's just that the brother-in-law is not a son, so why bother so much.

Ling hesitated and asked, "Master, is there anything wrong with going to Jiangnan?"

Xu Wu smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. Going to Jiangnan to be an official is very rich in oil and water, but only that. "The so-called oil and water are very abundant, but it does not mean corruption and bribery, but that the rich and official life in Jiangnan is better than that in other places. Now that the government is strict, no one dares to be greedy, at least not on the surface.

Ling's heart suddenly burst and asked, "What does the master mean by saying that this is limited to this?" In fact, she roughly guessed, and only hoped that Xu Wu could give a clear answer.

Now that Ling Ruoyuan has decided, it is useless to talk about this matter. Xu Wu shook his head and said, "It's nothing." By the way, I was on duty for the next few days, so I didn't have to wait for me at night. ”

Seeing that Xu Wu didn't want to say more, Ling didn't dare to ask any more: "Okay." "She knows Xu Wu's temperament, and she only gives one chance, since her brother said that he wants to go to Jiangnan, he won't help him if he changes his mind now.

Four days later, Dr. Jian checked Brother Hao'er's pulse, checked his body carefully, and then said to Yuxi with a smile: "The prince has recovered." ”

Brother Hao said to Dr. Jian: "It's been hard for you this time. "Dr. Jian is old, and he is tired enough to choke on Brother Hao'er's illness during this time.

Dr. Jian smiled and said, "This is the duty of a doctor. "When the prince is well, he can go home, and when he came, he had already prepared for the worst, and even wrote his last words to his family. I didn't expect to be able to go back alive, I have to say that I am very lucky.

Yuxi touched Brother Hao'er's head and said, "During this time, you will live back in the main courtyard first, and then move back when this courtyard is renovated." "Not only do the things that Brother Hao wears have to be cleaned up, but this yard also has to be renovated from the inside out.

Brother Hao will not be infected if he has smallpox, but the three brothers often go in and out of Jingyuan Hall, and if they don't renovate this courtyard, Yuxi is not at ease. Only Brother Hao alone has smallpox, which has exhausted her, and if the three brothers also have smallpox, it will be equivalent to directly killing her.

Brother Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay." ”

When Dr. Jian was leaving, he said a few more words: "Princess, you have to rest well, otherwise your iron body will not be able to bear it." "The princess's body has suffered a lot of wear and tear during this time, but fortunately, there is a grandmother in the house who is good at conditioning her body, so Yuxi is reluctant to diagnose and treat him and doesn't say much.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'll have a good rest for a while." "When Yunqing comes back, she can also rest in peace for a while.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Brother Hao saw Yunqing. Brother Hao experienced life and death, and was very excited when he saw Yunqing: "Dad." After speaking, he pounced on it and hugged Yunqing.

Yun Qing gently patted Brother Hao'er on the back, and said with a smile: "Ah Hao, you are good, you deserve to be your father's son." "Ordinary people can't survive smallpox.

Saying this, Yuxi couldn't help but laugh.

Yunqing walked up to Yuxi, reached out and touched Yuxi's face and said, "I'm thin, and I'm haggard." "It's rare to see Yuxi look so haggard.

With so many people watching, Yuxi hurriedly pushed Yun Qing's hand away, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" With so many people, Yun Qing is too undignified.

Brother Hao grinned, it was too late for him to be happy when he saw his parents' affection and love, so what was there to be embarrassed about. As for the others, they would have bowed their heads long ago and treated themselves as quails.

Yunqing smiled and took Yuxi's hand, and said to Brother Hao, "Let's go back to the backyard and talk slowly." During this time, Yunqing has also been living in the study and has not returned to the backyard.

Mama Quan has been standing at the door waiting, and when she saw Yuxi and Brother Hao, she said, "I have to make up for it." "Especially Yuxi not only has to make up for it, but also has to rest, but he didn't say this in front of Yunqing.

Brother Hao went to the wing room, and Yuxi went back to the room with Yunqing. As soon as the husband and wife sat down, Yuxi asked, "How is the war between Guangxi and Yunnan?" During this time, Yuxi's mind was on Hao Ge'er, and now that Hao Ge'er has recovered, she also has the energy to pay attention to others.

Yunqing said: "The war in Guangxi is going very well, there are only three states left that have not been taken, and the war will definitely end before the year." ”

Yuxi frowned and said, "So it's not going well in Yunnan?" Seeing Yunqing nodding, Yuxi said, "Then it has to be delayed until next year? "I originally thought that I could win the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangzhou within a year, but I didn't expect that Yunnan and Guangxi have not been defeated now.

Yunqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, the gold and silver collected by Guangxi and Yunnan are enough to make up for the cost of this dispatch." "These two places are notoriously poor, but who would have thought that those rich people would be very rich.

Seeing that Yuxi was going to say more, Yun Qing said: "It's not too late to talk about these in two days." Yuxi, you must be tired from taking care of Brother Hao during this time, go and rest!"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Let's go to bed after dinner!" "Brother Hao has recovered, and their brother and sister can come back.

Yun Qing said with a smile: "I promised to pick them up in person, and I will pick them up after lunch." "Brother Hao'er is fine, and the family can be reunited.

Yuxi nodded and asked a question: "The last time you said that Brother Hao'er had smallpox was Yan Wushuang's handiwork, how did you know?"

Yun Qing didn't think about it and said: "That woman is from the capital, and the coachman who strangled the woman came from the capital with her." Who else is behind the scenes, besides Yan Wushuang?"

Yuxi thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I don't think it's Yan Wushuang." He immediately explained his reasons.

Yunqing said: "Maybe they think that this smallpox is useless to me, and I am strong and not so easily contagious. ”

Yuxi shook his head and said: "The Dong family is so secretive, if you don't have smallpox, we won't know that she has done something to her clothes, and it will not be too late to attack Brother Hao when the time comes." After a pause, Yun Qing said, "Mama Quan has asked a doctor to check your clothes, and no problems have been found. ”

Yun Qing felt that what Yu Xi said also made sense, thought for a while and asked, "If it weren't for Yan Wushuang, who else would be so deliberate about attacking Brother Hao'er?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either." ”

This matter reached an impasse, and Yun Qing put it down: "Yuxi, there will be an exam next month." How can you survive this body now, or change it to next year!" In order to select talents, Enke was specially opened this year. The township test is in early June, and the general test is scheduled for late October.

Yuxi laughed: "Aren't you fooling around? "If you change it day and night, it is easy to lose your prestige. Of course, if there is a reason to change it, that's another matter. But just because she's not in good health, it's not a reason to postpone the test.

Yun Qing's face was sad when he heard this, you must know that he hates making articles the most, and he also doesn't like to read articles made by those literati. Most of those articles are ornate in rhetoric and quoted from classics. Even if the rhetoric is gorgeous, you can watch it with a strong temperament. But he didn't know what those allusions meant.

Knowing Yunqing's shortcomings, Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Do you regret that you didn't study well when you were a child?"

Yunqing won't say anything regretful, because it's useless to say it: "Fortunately, Ah Hao and Ah Rui both love to study. "Well, the children are like Yuxi, very good.

Yuxi laughed when he heard this: "Fortunately, except for jujubes, Liu Er and Ah Hao are not like you." Otherwise, I would have had a head full of gray hair by now. "I always say that Brother You is stubborn, and when I think Yunqing was a child, I didn't let Old Man Yun blow his beard and stare at him.

Yun Qing didn't get angry, but nodded and said, "You're right, fortunately, Ah Hao and Ah Rui are not like me." ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "What we want to select is people who do practical things, not literati who can write articles." Those who like to quote scriptures with gorgeous rhetoric, if you are impatient to read them, you can not read them. "Yuxi likes pragmatic people to people who talk like a river. Of course, this is also because Yuxi is a pragmatic person.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "When the time comes, leave this matter to Tan Tuo and them!"

Yuxi shook his head helplessly and said, "It's still a month, and I'll have enough rest when the exam starts." "This matter must not be handed over to Tan Tuo and them. She didn't want Tan Tuo and others to win over these young scholars, and in the future, they would form gangs and factions and make a miasma in the court.

I have to say that Han Jianming's guidance to Yuxi when she was a child had a deep impact on her. Especially as Yuxi's authority became heavier, this influence became more and more obvious.

Yun Qing said: "It depends on what Mama says at that time?" If Mama thinks that Yuxi can handle government affairs, he has no objection. On the contrary, he did not agree.

When chatting, it feels like time flies. It seems that it will only take a while, and it will be time for lunch.

When he came out, Yuxi looked outside and asked strangely, "It's time to eat so soon?"

Mama Quan explained: "Isn't the prince going to Zhuangzi to pick up the second county lord and the second young master? I just want to finish my meal early and come back early." "Mama Quan thinks about things, and she is still very thoughtful.

Yuxi smiled and said, "It's still Mama who thinks about it." "Go early, you should be able to get home before dark.

When Brother Hao heard this, he said, "Dad, mother, can I follow to pick up the second sister and Ah Rui." After speaking, he looked at Yunqing and Yuxi expectantly

Yunqing disagreed: "You are just sick, you should rest well at home, how can you go outside to blow the wind." ”

Brother Hao said the reason why he wanted to go with him: "It's all because of me, the second sister and Ah Rui, that they avoided Zhuangzi." Brother Hao felt guilty in his heart.

Yuxi didn't like to hear this: "What stupid thing did you say this kid, are you willing to get smallpox?"

Brother Hao looked at Yuxi and said, "It's all because of me." Mother, just let me go! And I haven't seen them for more than a month, and I want to see them sooner. ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "This is like words. If you want to go, you can go, take a carriage to go. Also, wear more clothes, you can't get cold. ”

After listening to Yuxi's words, Brother Hao looked at Yunqing again: "Daddy...... "Father will not object to what his mother promises."

Yun Qing, as Brother Hao expected, did not object: "Since your mother agreed, then your father will not stop you." But as your mother said, you can't ride a horse, you can only ride a carriage. Although taking Brother Hao to delay his work, his son insisted, and he was reluctant to refuse.

Brother Hao smiled and said, "Okay." ”

After finishing the meal, the father and son went to the pear orchard to pick up Liu'er and them. And Yuxi went back to the house and lay down.

Mama Quan took Yuxi's pulse and said, "Your body is too weak, you must rest for a period of time, otherwise you will suffer from the sins after falling ill." "It's also Yuxi's good health, otherwise his body would have collapsed early after tossing and turning like this.

Yuxi hummed and said, "Listen to Mama, I will recuperate quietly during this time." By the way, Mama, what do you think about Brother Hao'er getting smallpox?"

Quan Mama said: "The prince said that the mastermind behind the scenes is Yan Wushuang, but I think this is very much like the means of the inner house. After speaking, Mama Quan smiled bitterly and said: "There were many women in the palace, and everyone used all kinds of shady means to compete for favor. But the palace is just you, the hostess, so we have let our guard down. "If you are more vigilant, maybe Brother Hao will not suffer this difficulty.

Yuxi said: "Mama, tell me the details of this Dong family again." ”

Listening to Mama Quan's explanation, Yuxi lowered her head and thought for a long time and said: "The Dong family is such a weak and incompetent woman, and Yan Wushuang's temperament is not to be looked down upon, but this person is very familiar with the interpersonal relationships of the Han family......"

Mama Quan's heart jumped, she looked at Yuxi and asked, "Have you guessed who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Yuxi leaned on the head of the bed and said faintly: "Zhou Yan died more than three months ago, at the hands of our people. ”

"What?" Mama Quan was very surprised and asked, "Princess, do you suspect that Han Yuchen is avenging Zhou Yan, so you poisoned the prince?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's just my suspicion. However, a few months after Zhou Yan's death, Ah Hao had smallpox, which was too coincidental. ”

Quan Mama knew that Yuxi was very perceptive, so she believed what she said. In addition, she is also very familiar with Mama Gui, and immediately said: "If this is the case, then the mastermind behind the scenes must be her, Mama Gui is very familiar with this kind of selfish means." ”

Yuxi was silent and did not speak.
