Momoka was taken aback. How did I pull out the matter of the first emperor at this time, sure enough, there must be a daughter and a father, and sometimes my father is not shocking when he speaks.

But everything has already been said, and she can only shut up and listen, but she can't jump out and collapse the platform for her father.

However, if you don't say that there are always people who say, even if you hear someone else: "Since the Jiang family knows that they are guilty, why does the Jiang family dare to practice medicine?" Isn't it contempt for the first emperor? ”

Taohua immediately raised her head: "I don't know why this adult wants to buckle this hat down?" The Jiang family has long been out of medicine, so how could I have disobeyed? ”

"You have entered the palace to treat concubines."

"It's a reunion of old friends, and I occasionally see the wrong prescription, don't you say nothing?"

"You're still going to heal the plague—"

Taohua's head is even higher: "The treatment of the epidemic is recommended by the queen's mother." What's more, this is a major matter of the country, how can it be compared with ordinary medical practice? If the treatment of the epidemic is also the practice of medicine, do I still have to collect the consultation fees from those sick people one by one? Or did the queen forget the will of the first emperor and act like this? ”

Tear out the queen, how can this hat be buttoned? Elder Yu Ge couldn't help but have a headache. He has always felt that this daughter is still very good, why is it that now that she is older, she can't hold her breath and do some things to teach people?

Since treating the epidemic is not considered practicing medicine, treating the Queen Mother is even less counting, this is an edict. But in the end, someone has a fast brain, and immediately said: "You have treated Mrs. Jinghai Hou!" ”

"That's my maternal aunt." Taohuapi grinned at the person who spoke without smiling, "My lord is so well-informed, don't you know that Minnu's stepmother's surname is Cao?" ”

Co-authoring to treat elders is not considered practicing medicine? If you want to talk about it, you really can't count it, let alone say that because you can't practice medicine, you have to watch your elders and friends get sick and don't care.

The emperor listened to Taohua refute all the officials with a smile, and then asked Jiang Xi: "Is this book finished?" ”

Jiang Xi replied: "Back to the emperor, although it is generally complete, there are many shortcomings. ”

The daughter held the book high, but the father said that there were many shortcomings, and the emperor was also curious: "Where are the shortcomings?" ”

Jiang Xi still replied honestly: "Herbs are divided into north and south, and the grass people compiled this book, originally wanting to record the habits of medicinal herbs and how to plant and concoct them. However, it is better to see than to hear, and the grass people have lived in the south for a long time, so they have a lot of eyes on southern herbs, and they are confident that the records are detailed and accurate. However, the northern land has not been there, and many herbs have not been seen in person, and there may be some omissions only recorded in the books of the predecessors and the pharmacists who have traveled from the south to the north. In addition, some herbs are born in both the north and the south, but the so-called orange is born in Huainan and Huaibei is orange, even if the same herb is different in the earth, its properties must be different. Otherwise, there would be no difference between the participation of Korean ginseng in the Northeast. The grass people thought that they should always be able to conduct a field survey and settle down on the words before they felt it was appropriate. ”

The emperor showed a little surprise: "In this way, you actually want to travel all over the north and south and inspect the hundred herbs?" He looked around the hall, "Zhu Qing, Jiang Xi is just a people, so he knows that hearing is the truth of seeing and believing, just compiling a book, he has the heart of seeking truth from things, Zhu Qing is an official, maybe so?" ”

Taohua didn't expect her father to have such ambitions, looking at Jiang Xi's kneeling figure, she actually felt that her father's image was quite tall.

Many of the officials in the palace did not look very good. Without it, the Emperor is talking about their sore spots. As an official, with the light and dust, where can everything be so serious? When the water is clear, there are no fish, and it is really permeable up and down, and there is no chance to go up and down. However, who dares to say this, can only hum and agree.

The emperor swept his eyes above, and he knew who was muttering in his heart, but he didn't show it, but just said: "If you have the will to be realistic, you can achieve whatever you do." ”

Yu Ge Lao coughed dryly, and an official next to him asked curiously: "Jiang Xi, since you have this ambition, why don't you go to the north?" ”

Taohua took a closer look, and was sure that this was the one who jumped out just now and said that she treated Mrs. Marquis Jinghai, seeing that his official uniform was a positive third grade, it should also be a squire or something, but he followed closely in the footsteps of the elder of the pavilion, so that it was very good.

This question was ill-intentioned, but Jiang Xi still answered very truthfully: "First, the grass people lost their wives before, and the children in the family are small, so they can't leave for a long time. The distance between the two is long, and there are many passes that are inconvenient to walk. And among the mountains where herbs are abundant, it is not safe for grass people to be alone. That is, if you get this cinchona powder, it means that the grass people followed the team of medicine merchants to Guangdong, and met the captain by chance, so that they could buy this medicine. ”

The emperor listened with a smile and asked, "Then do you still want to go all over the world?" ”

Jiang Xi thought for a while and said: "The grass people's son is only three years old this year, but the daughter is already able to manage the house, although the grass people dare not leave home for too long, but if the itinerary is half a year, in fact, the grass people want to go, but it is difficult to find a caravan that can make people go together, and it is not easy to do road guide documents." ”

The Emperor laughed and said, "Good! If you have this will, I am very relieved, and if this book can be completed, it will also benefit all people. Come on, the purpose. Jiang Xi was ordered to compile the book "Compendium of Herbal Medicine", and traveled everywhere unimpeded. If you go out to investigate, you can pay 20 taels of silver and one person in the county, 50 taels of silver and two people in the state, and 100 taels of silver and four people in the government to help it. And named Jiang Xi as a pharmacist, where the medical books in the inner collection are allowed to be borrowed, see the four products and below officials do not kneel. ”

Taohua was surprised and delighted, and even Jiang Xi himself was stunned. It is a great honor to repair the book by order, and with this will, it is equivalent to having the emperor as a backer. And the emperor's will gave great power, this kind of meeting the yamen outside can pay money and people, and all checkpoints can be passed unimpeded, which means that Jiang Xi can go anywhere. And seeing that the officials of the fourth rank and below do not kneel, it is equivalent to giving an official rank equivalent to that of the fourth rank, and even in the capital, there is no need to be angry everywhere.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed with a smile: "Grass people thank the emperor for Longen!" After finishing, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, can the grass people go to Ouchi to borrow books today?" "The royal collection may not be as specialized as the family that has practiced medicine for generations, but its content is far beyond that of a personal collection, and there must be many unique books!

Seeing him so excited, the emperor couldn't help but laugh: "Do you only care about the Ouchi collection?" ”

Jiang Xi realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly explained: "The grass people heard that there is a collection of unique books from the previous dynasty in Ouchi, so they were surprised and out of shape. As for the rest, it is a great thing that the emperor allows the grass people to pass everywhere, and can borrow people from the local yamen, so that the grass people can go to many places. The grass people must have done their best to compile this book and live up to the emperor's kindness. ”

The emperor nodded with a smile and said to Eunuch Du: "Send Jiang Xi's father and daughter out, and go to Jiang's mansion to give a reward." ”

The officials in the palace watched the Jiang family's father and daughter leave, and they also retired one after another. Originally, they had also finished discussing the matter, if the emperor hadn't suddenly summoned the Jiang family, they would have retreated.

Fang just jumped out and accused Taohua of giving a visit to the Jinghai Hou Mansion The person surnamed Lu Mingxian is the right attendant of the ministry, and he is married to the daughter of Yu Ge's old protégé. Out of the Wenguang Palace, Lu Xian came to Yu Ge Lao's side and whispered: "Ge Lao, what the emperor said today seems to be knocking down the officials." ”

Yu Ge Lao snorted softly: "There have been a lot of accidents in this epidemic treatment. How do I remember that Luonan County also has something to do with you? ”

Lu Xian was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Ge Lao Mingjian, although the Luonan County Order is the in-law of the lower official, it is far away, and the lower official has no contact with him on weekdays. ”

What he said was a half-truth. Luonan County Ling is the father-in-law of his daughter's husband's sister-in-law, who was originally Luonan County. Because he donated a prisoner instead of a serious exam, it will be the end of being a county magistrate. Who knew that a few years ago, Luonan County made Ding worried, and this lack was vacant, he moved his mind, and he turned around and entrusted Lu Xian here.

Lu Xian didn't want to take care of this. Although he is in the Ministry of Officials, except for listening to the transfer of officials by the elders, he does not make much profit. Helplessly, the daughter got along well with this sister-in-law, and when she came home to be coquettish and stupid to her father, he had no choice but to respond. After that, the Luonan County Commander came to give a few gifts, but because he didn't respond much, it gradually faded. Seeing that the emperor was furious, he approved the request of the king of Anjun, and arrested all the people who took advantage of the difficulties this time, such as the deputy envoy of the Huimin Pharmacy and the order of Luonan County, they were all sentenced to behead and wait for the execution.

After this incident, Lu Xian also felt shameless, so he couldn't see the emperor elevating the Jiang family more and more. Especially today, when the emperor is talking about Jiang Xi, there seems to be something in his words, and he can't help but teach people to be suspicious.

"It's good that you don't have much to do with it." Elder Yu Ge snorted lightly, "You should know how powerful this matter is. There was corruption in the Zongren Mansion last time, and some people have been replaced, and this time it is bound to be replaced, and you have secured your position! ”

Lu Xian heard Yu Ge Lao's gloomy voice, his heart palpitated, and he hurriedly agreed. After a while, he said cautiously: "Pavilion Elder, this is two times in a row, and the lower officials are really a little worried, it won't be the emperor's ......."

Yu Ge Lao was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "This time the queen mother has malaria, the emperor is worried, it should not be ......" Last year, the queen also got rid of a dragon fetus, which also has the reason for the queen mother's inaction, if the emperor is really annoyed with the Yu family, this time I should wish that the queen mother died early.

"Yes, yes. It's all caused by King Anjun! When Lu Xian heard Yu Ge Lao say this, he was relieved.

"Not really. Since he came to the capital, this matter has not been interrupted. Yu Ge Lao said coldly. First of all, he repaired his county palace and pulled out a corruption case, but fortunately, it was the party's little minions who were pulled down, and it didn't hurt his muscles and bones. But when Nanyuan was hunting, Yu Rui lost the position of Jin Wuwei's commander, which made Yu Ge extremely distressed.

No matter how tough Yu Ge is, he can't help but admit that the Yu family has prospered since he and the Queen Mother, but the children and grandchildren under him are used to being incompetent. He has six grandsons, but none of them are willing to learn martial arts, and they can't endure the hardships, only Yu Rui, who lost his father since he was a child, honed his skills, but he gave up his achievements because of impulse.

As for the clansmen of those side branches, they couldn't support the wall in the mud, and they didn't know their own efforts one by one, and their eyes were staring at the title of Cheng'en Earl, and they were swarming to think about succession.

Speaking of Cheng Enbo, Yu Ge Lao was angry again. Lao Cheng Enbo, that is, the queen mother's own brother, although he is an honest man, he was also born in the imperial examination back then, and he was able to do the four-grade prefect, but how to give birth to a son is not like this. made a big joke in the hunting ground, and he still can't get off the ground in bed. If it goes on like this, who will the Yu family rely on to support it?

Bai Juyi said in "Song of Long Hatred" that he ordered the hearts of parents all over the world not to rebirth men and daughters. Yu Ge Lao now has this feeling - brocade clothes and jade food, he can raise a daughter who is both talented and beautiful, and he can also attract in-laws when he marries, but the same brocade clothes and jade food are only raised by the children, and they can't support the door at all!

Sometimes Yu Ge really wants to live his life like before, and everyone in the family has cut off eighty percent, so that they can suffer a little before they know how to be motivated! However, this is just a thought, not to mention the children and grandchildren below, even himself, who is used to living a rich life, and it is impossible to go back to the past.

That's it, let's find a way. Yu Rui can't enter the palace guard anymore, so he will go outside to practice, and it will be the same if he can save some military skills, but it will be harder than in the palace guard. But if you don't talk about peace in the four seas today, there are not many wars, and you have to accumulate military merits, and you can't do it without fighting.

Northwest - that place can't be visited! So that's all that remains in the southeast. In the southeast, it is General Lu who leads the troops, if Yu Rui is sent to ......

Yu Ge Lao is not very confident in his heart. General Lu Da is a person, he only fights and never forms a party, even if Yu Rui goes, I am afraid he will have to start from scratch, how can he accumulate enough military merit so quickly? So—he remembered that General Lu had two sons, and although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he could discuss family affairs......

Yu Ge Lao was thinking about things in his heart, and he was a little perfunctory to Lu Xian, which made him go home uneasy.

The Lu Mansion is not very large. Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and Lu Xian's house is in a good location, and the price is naturally high. However, his family is not very populous, and it is not worth spending a lot of money to buy that luxurious mansion.

However, because the house is not big, there is some movement in the inner courtyard, and I heard it at the Hanging Flower Gate. A young woman's voice was crying, usually Lu Xian would be happy when he heard this voice, but at this moment he wanted to frown, because this was his daughter back, and most of them were entrusted by his sister-in-law to come back to intercede.

Sure enough, there were three women sitting in the main room: Lu Xian's mother, Mrs. Lu, his wife, Mrs. Lu, and his daughter, Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan is a pretty young woman in her twenties, the fat powder on her face is a little messy at this time, and her eyes are also red, as soon as she saw her father come back, she hurriedly got up: "Daddy is back!" ”

Lu Xian rarely showed a smile to his baby daughter: "Why do you run to your mother's house twice in three days?" Doesn't your in-laws care about you? ”

"Daddy!" Lu Xuan had never received such a cold reception, so he couldn't help but stomp his feet, "Su'er's father-in-law was sentenced to be beheaded in prison, Dad, you have to find a way to save him!" ”

Su'er is Lu Xuan's sister-in-law, Lu Xian expected that she was going to mention this matter, and couldn't help but have a headache: "Dad can't control this matter." It was approved by the emperor himself. "The emperor said that he wanted to kill, how could he have the ability to save it.

"Then you can change people!" Lu Xuan already had a countermeasure, "It's always okay to use a death row prisoner to replace people, right?" ”

Lu Xian's eyes were about to fall out. Of course, there is such a thing, and it has happened in all dynasties. But you also have to look at what the case is. This kind of big case personally approved by the emperor's imperial pen, do you dare to change people? When the time comes, the entire Lu family will be finished.

"Nonsense! You know how big of a deal it is? Lu Xian raised his voice to his daughter for the first time, "In case the incident leaks, are you going to kill the whole family?" ”

Lu Xuan was startled and involuntarily took a step back. Lu Xianyu was angry: "The emperor hasn't done anything else in the past few days, so he will investigate this matter, even Yu Ge Lao reminded me to stay away from his house today, you are good, this is because I am afraid that your father's official will sit too steadily, right?" ”

"Ahem, what is this for!" Old Madam Lu spoke, and the crutch in her hand paused on the ground to strengthen her momentum, "You are roaring and screaming, are you going to eat Xuan'er raw?" Xuan'er, come to Grandmother. ”

In this family, Mrs. Lu loves Lu Xuan the most. When Mrs. Lu was pregnant with Lu Xuan, the old lady was seriously ill, and almost the doctors were helpless. Since Lu Xuan was born, the old lady's illness has slowly improved. Therefore, the old lady regarded this granddaughter as a lucky star, and specially invited a local Taoist aunt who was a little famous to approve the eight characters when Lu Xuan was full moon.

The invited Dao Gu didn't do anything, but she was the most observant, so she relied on this ability to flatter the ladies of various families and raise money for the sesame oil. She knew about the Lu family, so in the end, she approved the most compatible result between Lu Xuan and her grandmother, and deceived Mrs. Lu to happily reward her with ten taels of silver, and then took her granddaughter to her side and raised her, treating her as if she were her own eyeballs.

Lu Xuan immediately threw herself into Mrs. Lu's arms: "Grandmother, I can't help it!" I, I haven't moved for five years, and if this happens, his family will have to take a concubine! ”

Lu Xian climbed Yu Ge Lao, his career was smooth, and the husband's family he found for his daughter was naturally not bad. Of course, because Lu Xian's official position has always been above the other party, that family still has to hold Lu Xuan. Helplessly, although Lu Xuan's life is going well, his stomach is not angry, and now he has been married for almost five years, and there is no movement. If it goes on like this, no matter how high Lu Xianguan is, it will be difficult to speak, is it because of your high official position, and you still let your son-in-law cut off the incense?

Lu Xuan wiped her tears as she spoke: "It's just my father-in-law, my mother-in-law's face has long been not good-looking, but my sister-in-law often says a few words for me." If I can't do this now, how will my sister-in-law help me in the future? ”

Mrs. Lu was distressed for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Xian'er, you are such a girl, how can you watch her suffer?" ”

Lu Xian's head is as big as a fight. I want to explain this matter strictly, but he was from a poor family, and Mrs. Lu was just a village woman when she was young, and some things were told to her in vain. However, he is a filial person, and he can't make a long face to his mother, so he doesn't know what to do for a while.

Instead, Mrs. Lu said softly on the side: "Xuan'er, I told you a long time ago. If your stomach doesn't move, you should pick someone to put next to your uncle. In this way, both your aunt and your mother-in-law's mouth are blocked. And the people you picked, the deeds are all in your hands, how dare you go against you? The maids give birth to a son, even if it is not expensive, in the future, when you have a child yourself, you will naturally overpower him steadily. You just won't, as if your mother would hurt you. If it drags on like this, your mother-in-law will either refer to someone to come over, or simply take a good concubine outside, but you will not be able to control it. ”

What she said was actually the most common and safest way for the ladies in the house. It's just that this daughter has been carried by her mother-in-law since she was a child, and she is not close to her mother-in-law. If you make it like this now, you will only come back crying.

Mrs. Lu is a woman from an official family, and she knows more about politics than Mrs. Lu, who was born as a village woman, and Lu Xuan, who was raised by a village woman. Luonan County Ling is the in-law of the Lu family, Lu Xianzheng should avoid suspicion in this matter, how can he still get up?

Lu Xuan was lying in Mrs. Lu's arms and just cried, but did not answer. Lu Xian became irritable: "Your mother is no longer right, why are you crying!" ”

Lu Xuan stood up with a sigh: "Mother is so generous, why didn't you give birth to a son for three years?" Why should you care about me? ”

Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and when she heard the last sentence, she slapped Lu Xuan in the face. It was because of marrying her that Lu Xian was able to enter the eyes of the elder of the pavilion, so even if he was not pregnant for three years and gave birth to a daughter in his first child, Mrs. Lu was a little embarrassed, but Lu Xian did not dare to move his mind at all. Of course, she gave birth to two sons one after another, and Lu Xian naturally had no reason to take a concubine.

This matter was something she was quite proud of--to achieve an official rank like Lu Xian, there are not many people in the family who don't accept concubines or accept intercourse - her sisters' sisters are a little jealous, but they don't dare to make a sour in front of her. I didn't expect to be exposed by my own daughter at this time, how can I hang on this face? Speaking of which, she has had a smooth ride all her life, but she is not satisfied with this daughter, and she has little time to get along, and the mother-daughter relationship is not deep, so she can't help but do it for a while.

Lu Xuan was stunned. Old Madam Lu stopped doing it all of a sudden, and stood up without even crutches: "You, you are so bold, you actually beat Xuan'er in front of me!" Are you hitting her or me? He was about to take a step forward, but he felt a pain in his leg, and Gollum collapsed.

At this time, Lu Xuan couldn't cry, Mrs. Lu couldn't be angry, and Lu Xian couldn't be stunned, so he hurriedly helped Mrs. Lu to the bed together, and hurriedly invited the imperial doctor.

Mrs. Lu fell this time, not only her leg hurt, but her elbow also sprained, so she couldn't help but blame Mrs. Lu, and she didn't stop until midnight.

Mrs. Lu was also angry, and waited for her mother-in-law to sleep, and then complained to Lu Xian: "In the autumn, I said that my leg hurt, and I invited the imperial doctor to prescribe medicinal oil, but I refused to apply it because of the smell, so I didn't listen to any persuasion." It's all my fault that I made this happen today. "I cried as I spoke.

Lu Xian not only respects his mother, but also loves his wife, and feels sorry for his daughter, but he also attaches importance to his official position. Today, all kinds of contradictions have come together, he can neither say that his mother is not, nor can he say that his wife is not, nor can he be reluctant to say that his daughter is not, so he can only scold after holding back for a long time: "It's all caused by King Anjun and the Jiang family!" ”
