Chapter 19: Leaving the palace and entering the prince's mansion
"Son, if you had known this earlier, I would rather be a farmer for the rest of your life than read a word!"
"Readyβ"
Under the muzzle of the black hole, "Bang-"
"Dad, do you regret it?"
"No regrets. β
"Young Master...... Master...... went. β
"Daddyβ"
Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes, and several faces that were no longer there were still vaguely in front of him, slowly turning into cyan tents.
"Xi'er. β
A cry suddenly came from his ear, and then a soft handkerchief gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, very gently.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, slowly turned his head, and what greeted him was an old woman, with a dark forehead, a string of sandalwood beads on her wrist, dressed plainly, but it was difficult to hide her dignified and noble spirit, and her eyes were very loving.
Lin Xi immediately realized who this was, so he called softly, "Grandmother." β
Hearing this, Mrs. Tai's eyes were wet, but she still smiled and responded, "Hey." β
A smile appeared on Lin Xi's face, and a warm current that had not been seen for a long time slowly flowed from the bottom of his heart, he knew that this old lady was the closest person he was to in the world.
"How long did I sleep?"
He struggled to get up, but was pressed back by the old lady, "Don't move, your body is not good, don't take care of it, you have been asleep for a day, but the old woman is in a hurry." β
Lin Xi lay on the bed, looking at Mrs. Tai with bright eyes, "It's Xi'er who is not filial, and I am tired of my grandmother's worry." β
"Nonsense again. Mrs. Tai pretended to pat him on the head, looking at her well-behaved face like her daughter Xiao, her heart was almost melting, but she said angrily on her face, "Taking care of your body is the greatest filial piety to the old woman." β
Lin Xi immediately nodded and smiled, and secretly stretched out a hand to hold Mrs. Tai's hand, and whispered, "Grandmother, what about those people who came with me, can the eldest cousin bring them back to the Hou Mansion?"
Mrs. Tai held it back, the hand in her hand was thin, which made people feel pity, "I have taken it back to settle down, your eldest cousin will come to the palace as soon as he comes back and releases the person, but as soon as he left the mansion, he met your fourth uncle, and hurriedly came in and said that you fainted in the palace, but the old woman was in a hurry, and it happened that someone came to the palace, and the old woman came directly." β
Xi'er didn't expect it. Lin Xi was also aggrieved, he was simply driven to the shelves by the ducks and forced to be ruthless.
Mrs. Tai patted him gently, "The old woman and the son are all provincial." β
"Old lady, the Imperial Doctor is here. β
At this time, Qi's mother walked in with a imperial doctor, but it was the old imperial physician Wang.
lifted Lin Xi's eyelids, stretched out his hand to check the pulse, and carefully looked at Lin Xi's complexion, before the old Imperial Physician Wang asked, "Did you sweat before?"
"The kid had a nightmare and woke up. Mrs. Tai said with distress in her eyes again.
Old Imperial Physician Wang nodded and let go of Lin Xi's hand, and Mother Qi immediately stuffed it into the quilt and tucked it carefully.
"Imperial Doctor Wang, the body of the grandson of the old body ......"
"The old lady is relieved for the time being, there is no serious danger to her life. It's just that the nephew's cold has just been removed, and his body is too weak, and he hasn't eaten well in the past few days, but now he is infected with wind and cold, so it is more dangerous, and the cold is cured, and the most taboo is cold. β
Zhao Jingyi walked to the door, just heard the words of the old lady Wang, his steps paused, and a feeling of guilt flashed on his face, but it was only for a moment, and he strode in again.
When they saw him in the house, they all stood up and saluted, "Lord Wang." β
Although Lin Xi was unwilling, he had to struggle to get up here, but his movements were a little slower, and sure enough, he heard Zhao Jingyi say, "Lie down quickly, don't be polite." β
Hearing this, Lin Xi immediately collapsed back, to be honest, he really didn't have a good impression of His Royal Highness Prince Rui. His cold illness has almost healed, and he also pays attention to his body, he hasn't been so seriously ill for a long time, but thanks to this one, the old disease has recurred, and it will take more effort to recover in the future.
Zhao Jingyi approached Lin Xi's bedside and looked at Lin Xi's face carefully, the latter lowered his head and acted shyly, saving himself from causing trouble without a good face.
How could Zhao Jingyi not see Lin Xi's small movements, but he felt ashamed, Lin Xi made him laugh like this, he reached out and touched Lin Xi's head, felt that his hair was soft, and his heart couldn't help but soften.
"Whatever you need, this king will satisfy you. He didn't even realize how gentle his tone was.
Lin Xi shook his head and wanted to shake off the hand on his head, but the person was small and weak, the person was big, and he was addicted to the touch, so he could only look up and say, "I'm hungry, I haven't had a good meal for more than ten days." β
After speaking, in order to express the authenticity, his stomach gurgled and screamed, and Lin Xi's face turned red.
The son got through the difficulty, and the mood was rare and cheerful, Zhao Jingyi laughed heartily, "Okay, you can mention whatever you want to eat, Cao Zhong, tell me to go down, and make a good table to comfort Lao Lin Gongzi." β
The old eunuch who followed smiled and replied "yes".
When the old lady Wang heard this, she immediately shook her head to stop it, "Lord Wang, the virtuous nephew is still sick, and it is appropriate to clear the porridge and side dishes, and not to fish and meat." β
Zhao Jingyi looked back at Lin Xi, who vividly saw the meaning of "Then there is no way, for your good health" from the paralyzed face, although he knew it, he was also very angry.
Gonggong Cao said with a smile: "The old slave will definitely order to go down, let the kitchen make porridge alive, let Lin Gongzi's body heal as soon as possible, and then make up for his body with a good table." β
Zhao Jingyi nodded with satisfaction.
But Mrs. Tai and Lin Xi glanced at each other, but when they saw Lin Xi shaking his head gently, she got up and said: "The prince is kind, the old man has thanked the prince for his grandson, but there is already a qiΔ at home, and I haven't seen Xi'er for many years, and I miss it tightly, so it is inconvenient to disturb it for many days." β
Zhao Jingyi didn't take Mrs. Tai's words, just looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Are you going to the Hou Mansion?"
Lin Xi's heart tightened, not knowing what the prince was thinking, so he nodded slowly, "The Spring Festival is just around the corner, and it is always inconvenient to be a guest outside." β
Zhao Jingyi had no expression on his face, "The dog hasn't healed yet." β
Hearing this, Lin Xi raised his head, "Does the prince want Xi to stay until the prince recovers?"
Zhao Jingyi nodded.
Lin Xi almost wanted to scold his mother, looking at the child's previous state, he knew how dangerous it was, Lin Xi was not sure at all, even if he was barely cured, it was impossible to recover for three or five years, did he want to stay here for so long? Don't be funny, not to mention the risk, living with this man who is unpredictable and has a tough attitude, he finished playing before the child's body improves.
No matter what he thought in his heart, Lin Xi still had to say in a good voice: "The body of the prince has been temporarily stabilized, and the remaining imperial doctors are more assured by Bixi, now that the weather is too cold, even if you need to apply needles again, at least it will be spring next year." β
Saying that, he looked at the old lady Wang, it was this old man who pulled him into the water, and Lin Xi was now so mostly to blame him.
Old Lady Wang received Lin Xi's gaze, so he said: "Lord Wang, Lin Xian's nephew's body is too thin, and he has not been able to get better because he is too worried, this is still a child, I am afraid that he is not comfortable in this palace, and it is not conducive to recuperation, and the illness of the son of the world still needs to be carefully considered by the old age." β
Zhao Jingyi looked at Lin Xi again, only to see the latter smiling flatteringly with an apologetic expression, like a harmless rabbit for livestock.
"If it's a dog......"
"You're always available. Lin Xi immediately said that Zhao Jingyi was actually not an unreasonable person, Lin Xi only got along for a while and felt that the sense of oppression was too strong, and if he got closer, he would definitely lose his life.
Although Zhao Jingyi didn't say it accurately, his attitude had softened, so Lin Xi made persistent efforts, "Before leaving, the grass people will go to see the prince again, and after they go back, they will try their best to think of ways to deal with it." Lord Wang, to be honest, the grass people learned the acupuncture and moxibustion skills of Dr. Min, but they did not kowtow to the teacher, nor were they doctors, and the grass people did not specialize in seeing a doctor and saving people. β
At this time, Mrs. Tai also said, "Lord Wang, the Hou Mansion is also the mother family of the prince, if Xi'er really has this ability, the old body will not let him retreat and slack off." β
When it comes to this, it's not good to keep it, so Zhao Jingyi nodded and agreed, "After lunch, this king will send someone to send you back." β
"Thank you, Lord Wang. β
Zhao Jingyi didn't stay any longer, turned around and was about to leave, but saw a chubby girl come in with a bowl of medicine, Zhao Jingyi looked down at the black medicinal juice, exuding a taste that even he found difficult to swallow.
"Young master, drink the medicine. As soon as she saw Lin Xi's situation, she went to the kitchen to fry the medicine without saying a word, and Tuan Tuan was left in the Hou Mansion to tidy up Lin Xi's yard.
Zhao Jingyi saw that Lin Xi's obedient face immediately collapsed, and his expression was extremely reluctant, but when he saw the fat girl handing it forward, he said: "Doctor Min has instructed, if the young master suffers from a cold again, he will drink this medicine for ten more days." β
Mrs. Tai took the medicine bowl and blew it gently, frowning when she smelled the smell, but she didn't have anything to say about Dr. Min's words, she just approached Lin Xi and persuaded, "Xi'er, drink it quickly." β
Lin Xi suddenly looked loveless.
Zhao Jingyi snorted slightly, turned his head and said to Gonggong Cao, "Go get a plate of candied fruit." β
Gonggong Cao said happily: "Yes." β
Lin Xi drank the medicine, and after half an hour, he drank porridge again, and suddenly felt that his body had regained his strength, although he was still a little top-heavy, but it was already much better.
So he dressed neatly, wrapped himself in a bear, and entered the prince's house with Mrs. Tai, where Zhao Jingyi and a few imperial doctors were already there.
Lin Xi took the pulse, carefully checked the little prince, instructed the precautions, and made an appointment with Zhao Jingyi to come back after the New Year, and then got into the carriage with Mrs. Tai and left the palace.
When I arrived at the Hou Mansion,
Mrs. Tai lifted the curtains, pointed to the plaque of the Yongning Hou Mansion at the gate and said, "Recognize the door, it will be your home from now on." β
The gate of Rui Wang's Mansion is magnificent, and you can feel the power of the royal family on top, but there is less precipitation of time, and the four big characters of "Yongning Marquis Mansion" are vigorous and powerful but have experienced vicissitudes, and I heard Qi's mother say: "This plaque β‘β‘is still given by His Majesty XiΓ ." β
Before Lin Xi entered the Hou Mansion, he felt the breath of the great family that had been inherited for a hundred years.
The carriage and horse did not stop, directly into the gate, and after passing the instrument gate, it was replaced by a soft sedan chair, carried into the main courtyard, and went to the left through the hall through the corner gate to see a hanging flower door, and then went to the Chongjin Hall, Mrs. Tai's courtyard.
Chongjin Hall was already full of people, and the lead was a middle-aged man and woman in brocade clothes, but it was Yongning Hou and Hou's wife Liu, next to Xiao Yunxuan and his wife Shan, and then Lin Xi couldn't recognize it.
