For a whole New Year, Taohua shrank in the county king's mansion and didn't go out except for entering the palace as usual, and she was really a little bored, and she was a little interested in receiving the case inquiry sent by the emperor.

"Temper change?" She doesn't go out, but Shen Shu can't help but go out, and I don't know what he's busy with all day, but fortunately, he will go back to the house when it's a little dark, and he often brings her some delicious food, "Is this also a disease?" ”

"Of course, it's also a disease." Taohua was busy eating the amber walnuts he brought back, "Seven feelings are depressed, and the injury of emotions is naturally also a disease." Hey, this walnut is really good. ”

Amber walnut is the walnut kernel wrapped in a layer of crystal syrup, and the color is like amber after condensation, hence the name.

It's not difficult to make, and it's sold everywhere in the capital, but it tastes very different when you eat it. The one that Shen Shu brought back was fragrant and crispy, sweet but not greasy, I really ate one after another, and I couldn't stop.

Shen Shu looked at her with a smile and said, "Of course." This one is an old shop, and the amber walnuts made are the signboard, the family secret recipe. ”

"It's the spring shopkeeper again, right?" Taohua also stuffed one into his mouth and pouted, "You can't find it yourself." ”

The shopkeeper of Chun Hua Xuan is the shopkeeper of Chunhuaxuan, how many years he has lived in the capital, he knows what food is on the streets and alleys, and most of the delicious food brought back by Shen Shu is pointed out by him.

Shen Shu immediately called out to hit the sky: "Why can't I find it myself?" The spring shopkeeper doesn't like sweets, where would they know this. This is what one of my brothers in the two camps told me, and his wife loved sweets when she was pregnant, and she specialized in this family's amber walnuts. ”

Taohua smiled and stuffed another one into his mouth: "In this way, I blame the prince." "It's only been a long time, and there are brothers in the two battalions?

"That's nature." Shen Shu put on a triumphant look, "Since you know that it is wrong, how can the princess make amends to this king?" ”

Taohua thought sideways: "Then let's give the prince a needle." ”

Shen Shu suddenly had a bitter face. Although acupuncture is mainly affected by peach blossoms, people who are exposed to acupuncture will not feel very well. Especially recently, Taohua is said to have changed the treatment method for him, not to mention the strange taste of those medicines, and the feeling of being injected is not very different, soreness and numbness, and indescribably uncomfortable. Every time the needle is finished, some parts of the medicine mud must be compressed, and the hot medicine mud is pasted up, which is really hot and screaming.

However, despite being so guilty, Shen Shu didn't dare to say a word. He knew where the new treatment he had replaced came from - the manual that Jiang Fanghui had left behind.

Shen Shu didn't know what Taohua had researched from this booklet, he had asked once, and Taohua also tried to explain it to him, but the final result was still confused, only knowing that what was recorded above was about the method of detoxification, as for whose poison it was, Taohua did not say.

In fact, she didn't say it, Shen Shu also knew it in her heart: although the surname Dao was not nominated in the booklet, judging from the age and pulse of the patient recorded, it was definitely good for the old lady Jiang to say that it was his mother and the medical case of the concubine Xianxian.

Since it is the medical case of Concubine Xian, it is naturally self-evident who is poisoned, so everything is different from what the Yin family thought at the beginning, Jiang Fanghui did not misdiagnose and cause Concubine Xian's death, or even that he was born with a mistaken medication, but used all means to diagnose and treat Concubine Xian, and ensured that she gave birth to the prince smoothly. It's a pity that some things are weak, although he survived, his mother died of exhaustion.

As for Taohua not pointing out this matter, Shen Shu also understood the reason: everything is speculation, Jiang Fanghui did not say in the book that he was detoxifying the concubine, and there was no evidence to prove that it was the queen mother who poisoned her, so even if Taohua said that her grandfather was the one who saved the concubine, there was no evidence.

It's just to keep him from being embarrassed. Shen Shu knew it very well in his heart.

Since Mrs. Dingbei Hou searched the Yin family and did not find anyone who looked at her, although the Dingbei Hou family accepted her because of the treatment of the epidemic and the establishment of an ambulance team, there was no trace of mustard in their hearts - this mustard was not necessarily because Jiang Fanghui failed to save Concubine Xian's life, but because Taohua tried to push his eye disease to the Yin family's bloodline, which was similar to planting, which made the Yin family feel uncomfortable.

If Taohua told him now that Jiang Fanghui was actually the benefactor of the Yin family, then what should he do?

It stands to reason that he should inform the Dingbei Hou Mansion of this matter, and the family should be grateful to the Jiang family. However, will the Dingbei Hou Mansion believe it?

With the matter of "the disease of contempt passed down from blood to blood" in the past, now without evidence and no certificate, can it be proved by relying on a prescription record written by Jiang Fanghui?

It is only said that the old lady Jiang believes that this manual is the medical case of the concubine of the ancestors, because he has read the medical cases recorded for the concubines of the ancestors in the palace, and compared the pulse to confirm it. But does anyone else have this ability? It's himself, if he didn't believe Taohua and Old Lady Jiang, he wouldn't be able to confirm that this medical case is about his mother, after all, in addition to the same age, he doesn't know anything about those pulses, complexions, or whatever.

So, how can the Dingbei Hou Mansion believe it? If they don't believe it, how will he deal with himself when he is caught between the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the Jiang family? Is it to persuade the Dingbei Hou Mansion, or to refute the Jiang family? If it is the former, he has no evidence and no evidence, how can he make them believe? If it is the latter, and the evidence is already conclusive, does he still deny it?

Therefore, if Taohua breaks down this matter now, he will be in a dilemma and in a dilemma. And Taohua didn't mention this matter precisely because he understood his difficulties.

"See what I'm doing?" Taohua had already taken out the silver needle and instructed the mint to boil the medicine, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Shu staring at her tightly, and couldn't help but touch her face in surprise, could it be that the sugar residue stuck to her face when she ate amber walnuts just now?

However, after touching the hand around, Taohua became more and more puzzled: "But what's the matter?" "After thinking about it, I thought there was only one possibility, "Is it that someone in your friend's family needs to seek medical attention?" ”

Now in the capital, her name as a miracle doctor has risen to a higher level, and the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries are proud to invite her. However, because she wanted to raise a baby, she stayed at home for the entire New Year, and even asked Mama Zheng and Mint and others to go on her behalf for the New Year. Everyone knows that it's not appropriate to bother now, what can make Shen Shu embarrassed is probably to invite her to the doctor, right?

"Nope." Shen Shu spit out a word with a little difficulty, reached out to hug his wife, buried his head on her shoulder, and buried all the turbulent words in his heart. What do you do when you say it? Momoka can only smile. If he is in the cracks, Taohua is the same. Instead of making everyone embarrassed by talking about it now, it is better for him to treat her, and in this life, he will live up to this feeling.

Taohua completely ignored the boiling emotions in Shen Shu's heart, I don't know if she was really stupid for three years, she now feels that her brain is not enough, except for the lack of degradation in medical skills, the rest of her daily life seems to be only food and sleep. For example, she can't figure out why Shen Shu is a little abnormal now, his head is dull and dull, and he doesn't want to turn when he encounters this kind of thing, it's really terrible.

"Hurry up and lie down, give you the needle now, after the needle is completed in a while, the medicine mud can just be dressed, and it is not good to drag it down and decoction the old age." The brain couldn't turn, and Taohua didn't want to turn anymore, so she pushed the person who was picking up on her like a big dog, anyway, if there was anything to let her know, Shen Shu would always say it in the end.

Mint brought the hot medicinal mud into the house, and it happened that Taohua took out all the needles, scooped up a piece of medicinal mud, and stuck it on Shen Shu's back, which made him snort immediately.

"Bear with it!" Taohua naturally knew what it tasted like when this medicine mud was pasted, and she felt hot when her own hand was inserted into it. However, whether it will be scalded or not, the key point lies in the grasp of time: after all 14 acupuncture points are pasted with the medicinal mud, the first acupuncture point can peel off the medicinal mud. If the time is short, it will not work, and if the time is long, it will burn the skin.

Shen Shu gritted his teeth and endured the heat on his skin, tilted his head to look at Taohua's reddened fingertips: "Let Mint come." ”

"She couldn't tell the time." Taohua blew her fingers, and slapped another piece of medicinal mud onto Shen Shu's back, "Don't worry about it so much, relax." ”

How can this be relaxed, it's very hot. Shen Shu lay down with an aggrieved face, and when he turned his head, he saw Mint snickering with a basin on the side, so he glared at her: "What are you laughing at!" ”

Mint was not afraid of him now, pursed her lips and smiled: "The slave maid is happy to see the prince and the princess well. ”

"You're going to be a sycophant." Shen Shu was complimented by this sentence and felt comfortable, as if the medicine mud on his back was not so difficult, "Go back to the account room to receive the reward." ”

Mint bent his knees and said with a smile: "The prince's reward is too easy, and everyone in the mansion has learned it, and the prince is too late to reward people every day." ”

Taohua laughed: "I rewarded you with so many words, don't forget it, just save money." ”

Mint hurriedly said, "This can't be done." The prince said that he had rewarded it. ”

Shen Shu said: "The prince said that the reward is useless, and the princess said that she will not be rewarded, so forget it, and the account office will not be able to pay the money." ”

Taohua smiled and held her stomach with one hand: "I can't laugh and talk at this time, you don't tease me." The child in her belly seemed to feel her pleasure, and was very good at sticking out her little foot and kicking it.

Mama Zheng came in from outside and glared at Mint with disgust: "Disturb the princess." "Hurry around and hold Taohua," the princess was more careful. "I'm seven months pregnant, and I don't take it seriously. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Ye's treatment couldn't be stopped, Mama Zheng really wanted to persuade Taohua.

Taohua knew what she wanted to say when she saw Mama Zheng's expression: "Mama don't worry, this medicine treatment can be suspended for a period of time after three months." "It was about mid-March, and she was about to give birth.

Mama Zheng sighed: "The princess knows it in her heart, so the old slave will rest assured." ”

Taohua touched her belly, the child's little feet had retracted, and she couldn't help but smile slightly: "Mama don't worry, tomorrow my uncle and grandfather should come to check my pulse, if there is anything, I must be careful." ”

Mama Zheng said that she was relieved, but in fact, how could she rest assured in her heart, she couldn't help but look at Taohua's stomach and look at it, but seeing that Taohua's face was ruddy and her eyes were bright, and she really didn't look uncomfortable, she had to sigh again and said: "It was the old lady who sent a letter, I want to go to see the third wife tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to come over later, let the princess don't wait, just rest." ”

"What's wrong with my wife?" Taohua's brows couldn't help frowning. Since Bai Guo entered the door, Cao Shi first didn't pretend to be sick, got up and took care of the house for a month, and then when it came to the New Year, he lay down directly and threw all the housework to Bai Guo.

She was in a daze for this month's house, and when the year came, she was not prepared for the rituals that should be left, so she threw a mess to Baiguo.

Jiang Xi has been away from Beijing for more than half a year, and when he comes back, many people have to socialize, but the Cao family made such a move, and immediately made Jiang Xi angry. Fortunately, although Bai Guo has been away from home for a long time, he still remembers the original incident, and with the help of the Anjun Palace, the Boxing Gift was finally sent out without landing.

After that, Cao never got out of bed. Jiang Xi also ignored her anymore and directly handed over the family affairs to Bai Guo, and the Cao family became sick day by day. Jiang Bohua had mentioned it to Taohua twice, saying that Cao's was getting thinner and thinner now, but he knew that Taohua was pregnant and couldn't worry too much, so he didn't say it in detail.

"What the hell is going on, ma'am?" Taohua also really had a headache, "I have already told her that after Baiguo drank the Juezi soup, there will be no more concubines." ”

To say this, Ginkgo is really decisive. Momoka was also shocked when she heard that she had drunk the Jeeko soup herself. A young girl in her early twenties—well, although she is probably not young in this era, but still in the golden age of childbearing—gave up the opportunity to have children in order to stay with Jiang Xi...... At this point, who can say that she will not be allowed to enter the door?

However, the Cao family didn't know what was going on, it was said that knowing that Baiguo couldn't have children, she should also be relieved, right? When I came to Taohua before, didn't I cry and say that I was only worried about Jiang Bohua, but now I don't have to worry about this anymore, why does it seem that my condition is even worse.

In this regard, Taohua can only sigh. The Jiang family is in such a situation now, everyone, including her, has made mistakes, but the situation cannot be changed, even if the Cao family is sick for a lifetime, what is the use?

Mama Zheng pursed her lips secretly. She has seen a lot of such things in the palace, and she has also heard a lot about the back houses of the ladies and wives of various families. In her opinion, the woman is either like the princess of the county, who firmly controls her husband and does not give other women a chance at all. If you don't have this ability, you can simply be generous, as long as you hold the authority of the main room, and don't give the concubine room to rebel, you can live a good life with your son.

It's a pity that the Cao family has neither the ability nor the mind. Wanting to embarrass Baiguo with the matter of the festival before, it only shows that she is not a qualified housewife at all. After that, he kept pretending to be sick and simply handed over the power of the housekeeper, which was simply stupid.

Mama Zheng really doesn't look down on Cao's, but anyway, Cao's is also Taohua's stepmother, if the house is restless, Jiang Xi is still worried, so if there is something over there, she can't help but go back and forth, let alone persuade Taohua to leave it alone.

"Is it really sick?" Now Jiang Xi is not as ignorant as before in diagnosing the pulse, if the Cao family is fine, he will not alarm the old lady Jiang.

Mint couldn't help but say, "Slave and maid, maybe it's still pretending." It's just that it's not good to eat raw, and if you don't get sick, you'll get hungry and get sick. "Cao's really hasn't been hungry, and if he has been hungry, he won't eat well.

Taohua shook her head slightly. Thinking that Jiang Bohua had mentioned that Cao's weight was so thin twice, he faintly felt a little bad: "I'll go and see it tomorrow." ”

Mama Zheng was afraid of this, and immediately expressed a little objection: "The princess is now a month old, but it's still cold outside, and it's not easy to walk on the road." Besides, the old lady is gone, so she will tell the princess something, why doesn't the princess wait for the old lady to come? ”

Mint helped beside her: "Mama is right, if the princess goes, I'm afraid that my wife will say something unpleasant." Not only was he angry with the princess, but the lord was also embarrassed. "In the first month of the Cao family, he always mentioned Chen Yan in front of Jiang Bohua, saying that he didn't live long and wanted to meet Chen Yan and the like. Jiang Baihua didn't dare to come to Taohua to say it, but the maid who served her wouldn't fail to tell Mint about it.

It's a real headache. Cao Shi is not a person who can look at the eyes, and he will never shut up because Taohua is pregnant, if he really goes, listening to her chatter and being upset, pulling down his face to reprimand her is not pleasant. Taohua touched her stomach and retreated a little.

Mama Zheng took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Others are enough, the old lady's medical skills, the princess should always be trustworthy." ”

Taohua couldn't help laughing: "Look at what Mama said." If I go now, I won't believe my uncle or grandfather. Although he said that, he was relieved in the end, "That's it, I don't think my uncle and grandfather will hide it from me." ”

Mama Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and when Taohua uncovered the medicinal mud for Shen Shu and sent the hot water into the clean room, she withdrew with Mint and spoke in the outhouse: "In my opinion, the third wife is really not good this time." ”

Mint is now circling around Taohua all day long, and she doesn't know much about things outside, so she said, "What do you say about Mama?" Isn't it really pretending to be sick? ”

Mama Zheng shook her head and said, "I have seen this pretending to be sick before." People, the most important thing is to be open-minded, if you are like the third wife all day long, it is really not a longevity. Moreover, if it weren't really something, why would the old lady pick up the days when she came to diagnose the princess's pulse, I was afraid that after the third lady had checked the pulse, she would have to use it to discuss with the princess. ”

Mint was stunned for a moment and muttered, "If it's really bad...... Fortunately, the princess is already pregnant. "Even if she is a stepmother, she will be filial if she dies. If Taohua is not pregnant at the moment, and she has to keep filial piety for another year, then I am afraid that from the perspective of the heirs, she will not be able to stop Shen Shu from giving people to Shen Shu again.

"yes." Mama Zheng thought the same way.

Mint remembered the years that the Cao family had married into the Jiang family, and couldn't help but shake her head: "When my wife first entered the door, it wasn't actually like this......"

Mama Zheng said abruptly: "It's naturally different when you first enter the door, but with a brother, it's a different look." "The so-called mother is expensive by her son, a remarried woman, and a daughter who dragged an oil bottle, and when she entered the door to the eldest daughter left by the original match, she naturally had to be polite. However, when she gave birth to the only son of the Jiang family, she felt that she was different from the past, and she inevitably showed a somewhat proud face.

If it is said that it is a person who is really capable, it is not bad to take this opportunity to take the Jiang family, at least he has the appearance of being the head of the house. I don't have this ability at all, and the result of jumping up and down is that I fell badly. Just looking at Mint, the maid from the Jiang family, when she heard the news that the Jiang family's housewife was afraid of accidents, her first thought turned out to be that fortunately, the princess was pregnant, which shows how unpopular the Cao family's housewife is.

Mint didn't know what Mama Zheng was thinking, and sighed again: "I just hope this is just speculation......

Unfortunately, sometimes the more people guess towards the bad place, the more accurate it is.

On the second day, when it was nearly noon, Mrs. Jiang came over. When Taohua waited until this time, she felt that the matter must be quite serious, and sure enough, she saw the solemn expression on the face of the old lady Jiang: "Uncle Grandfather, how is the situation?" ”

Old lady Jiang waved his hand: "Let's check your pulse first." ”

Is this afraid that she will listen to the mood fluctuations? Taohua pondered in her heart, but still sat down obediently. Old lady Jiang checked her both hands, looked at the tongue coating again, and asked about her daily life, and then nodded: "Not bad." As you know, there are some trivial things that I don't have to talk about. It's just that now that the month is older, although it's not good to sit still all the time, you have to be careful. If you go outside for a leisurely walk, there must be enough people around you to serve well, and you must not fall at this time. ”

Taohua smiled: "Uncle and grandfather, don't worry. I'm out of this house now, not to mention the mint and jade bamboo and they are following, and the guards are around, where will I fall. "At present, the first day of junior high school followed Shen Shu out, and the fifteenth was specially at home to accompany her for a walk, in case her feet slipped, the maids were not strong enough to support her.

This work was supposed to be done by the attendants, but Shen Shu couldn't trust those attendants, so he specially assigned fifteen. Now, Fifteen has been jokingly named the "inner guard", which makes Taohua feel a little sorry for him.

Old lady Jiang nodded, and then said, "I have been to see your wife's illness, I'm afraid it's really bad." People are so thin that they can't swallow food at all, and they will gag after eating a little. ”

To be honest, he was really shocked to see the Cao family today. It may not be easy for those who watch all day long, but those who have not seen each other for a long time are really shocking at first glance - Cao is so thin that he is skinny and has no interest in eating. What's even more terrifying is that she didn't feel that she was really sick at all, although she seized the opportunity to say that she was about to die and wanted to see Chen Yan, her eyes were strangely bright, obviously she didn't feel that what she said was a prophecy.

"I'm afraid she doesn't think it's ......" This situation is so weird that even Mrs. Jiang rarely sees it.

Anorexia? The word popped into Taohua's mind.

"Anorexia?" Old Lady Jiang pondered for a moment, "It's also appropriate to say it." It's just that she refuses to eat, and she listens to the maid who says that she also drinks a bowl and pours a bowl of medicine when she prescribes medicine...... "If you don't take medicine, no matter how good the doctor is, you can't do anything."

Taohua pressed her eyebrows: "Otherwise, let's take Chen Yan back." A large part of the cause of anorexia comes from the psychology, "If it's not good, it's the last time to see it." If so...... Let their mother and daughter go back to Wuxi together. ”
