After the woman's miscarriage, there are only two kinds of blood and qi, because I heard that Jiang Meihua has some body heat, and she does not dare to use ginseng and other big supplements, so she can only use codonopsis, angelica, astragalus and the like. These medicinal materials are not difficult to find, Jiang Xi picked them from his own medicine hall, and then went to other medicine halls to find them.

These things can't be sent into the palace with great fanfare, and can only be quietly brought in when Mrs. Jiang enters the palace to visit Jiang Meihua, so the quantity can't be too much, so Jiang Xi strives for perfection, so that each one is a good quality and a long time ago.

Although Babao is not proficient in medicinal materials, after all, his father used to be the housekeeper of the Jiang family, and he has followed the old lady Jiang for decades. Although it is not difficult to buy these medicines in the capital, it is rare for the branches to be of such high quality.

Jiang Xi put the medicinal materials in a separate package and took out two more things: "You can bring this too." "

Babao looked at this like ginseng, but the shape seemed to be different, and he was a little puzzled: "Third master, this is—"

"This is called American ginseng, and it was brought by those Western ships that went to Guangdong." Jiang Xi wrapped the two American ginseng sticks separately with a piece of tissue paper, and attached a piece of paper, "I heard the people on the boat say that this thing is called ginseng, but it is not like ginseng, but it is cold and replenished." Those who want to use ginseng and are not subject to its temperature, it is advisable to use this ginseng, which can not only nourish yin and replenish qi, but also clear heat and generate Jin, the so-called tonic but not dry. It's just that I only bought a few sticks of this medicine and haven't tried it yet. You take it back and give it to your uncle, and ask your uncle to try it before you can use it for Sister Mei. "

Babao hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you for taking such a bother." "

Jiang Xi sighed: "What are you talking about, that's my own niece and nephew." Well, you should go back sooner, so that she can make up for it earlier. Hengzhu is still young, and he has taken care of his body, so he will naturally be able to give birth in the future. "

said so, but Jiang Xi knew in his heart that which harem woman didn't come from a young age, and she still had no children in her life? Jiang Meihua entered the palace for two years before she was easily conceived, but she had a miscarriage again. Next year, there will be another draft in the palace, and another batch of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls will enter, Jiang Meihua will be forgotten by the emperor if she can't say it, and she is afraid that it will be even more difficult to get pregnant.

But this is unspeakable. Jiang Xi only shook his head, thinking that Jiang Jun, the eldest brother of Changfang, was really ruthless, and he could send his daughter to the palace, if it was him, he would never be willing to go to that kind of place to fight for himself.

It must be known that Jiang Jun is just a fifth-grade person, even if Jiang Meihua is elected to the palace, she can only be a low-ranking beauty, and she has to live in the side hall of Xiangyan Palace, subject to the jurisdiction of Zhaorong, not to mention how many high-ranking palace concubines and even queens are above. A good daughter, who could have married someone else to be a serious housewife, can only swallow her anger even if she is harmed and has a miscarriage, why bother.

However, these thoughts Jiang Xi is just turning in his heart. After all, Jiang Meihua is the daughter of Changfang, and the marriage is a major event, and it is not his turn to be the uncle in the next room to point fingers, so he just sighed slightly, packed up the medicinal materials, prepared some Wuxi specialties, and sent Babao on the ship back to the capital.

This busyness has made everyone toss a lot, especially for Jiang Meihua's miscarriage, which is really busy and can't keep up the spirits. As soon as the eight treasures were sent away, the family was a little wilted. Cao couldn't help but say first: "Master, Jieyu Niangniang's matter-the emperor really doesn't care?" "

Jiang Xi waved his hand: "You don't understand." It was the queen who started it, and there was no evidence, so how could the emperor take care of it? "

Cao Shi said angrily: "Does the queen dare not listen to the emperor? Murdering an heir is a great sin. "

Jiang Xi smiled bitterly: "What you said is an ordinary family." Don't forget, even if it is an ordinary family, if the main mother's family is strong, and the heirs born of a concubine may not be what will happen. What's more, the descendants are powerful, and if they want the first emperor to take the throne, they borrowed the power of the descendants; is ascending the throne today because he has been raised under the knees of the Queen Mother since he was a child. The queen is also the niece of the Queen Mother, and she was personally selected by the Queen Mother, even if there is anything wrong, the emperor can only turn a blind eye. What's more, the emperor is still young, and he is not worried that he will have no children in the future, and Sister Mei is only a fetus in her belly, which is different from the prince who has already been born. "

The descendants have gained power, and it can be traced back to a long time. At the beginning, the first emperor was inconspicuous among the princes, with the prince of the East Palace and the favored younger brother, no matter what, he could not be counted. However, at that time, Yu Ge, who was only a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, had a discerning eye and married his daughter to him - of course, it may just be that he was ordered by the emperor to marry his daughter and had to become a family.

Later, there was a war for the throne. The unfavored queen and the prince, the favored concubine and the young prince, both sides came up with their own means, and finally made a lose-lose situation, so that the first emperor was quietly pushed to the throne by the quiet Yu family, and the Yu family itself of course occupied an important position in the court by leaping from the dragon's merit and the benefits of relatives.

It's a pity that the queen mother's children are not good, and she only gave birth to a princess who died in infancy, and in the end she could only raise the son born to a palace maid in her palace, which is the current emperor.

Although he came from a humble background, since he was raised in the Middle Palace, he was more noble than others, and finally entered the East Palace again with the support of his family and inherited the throne.

The Yu family has been from the dragon twice, and the power has been counted as unmatched for a while. Not only did Yu Shilang become Yu Ge Lao, his protégé and former officials, his children and grandchildren in the family, but also all over the court. And as soon as he ascended the throne, the princess in front of him died of illness, and the queen mother immediately chose the daughter of the Yu family as his wife, and she is the current queen.

Speaking of which, the queen has to be regarded as a stepfamily, but the princess in front of her has a thin life and died before she was canonized, so although the queen is a stepfamily, she is the queen of the yuan, and her dignity is not inferior to the original match. It's a pity that her children's popularity is worse than her aunt's, and she has been enshrined for ten years, and she has still never been pregnant, and even in the entire harem, only Yu Zhaorong gave birth to a little princess.

With such a family background, the queen naturally walks sideways in the harem, not to mention that Jiang Meihua is just a Jieyu, even if the concubine was born back then, her mother's father was still a squire in the military department, and she could only say nothing.

The Cao family didn't know about these many things, and couldn't help but gasp when he heard the words: "So, if the queen mother refuses to give birth to a child......

Jiang Xi nodded: "You know, don't go outside to talk about it." "

How could the Cao family have the courage to go outside to talk about the queen, it was also this time that Jiang Meihua was born, she was just angry for a while, and she had already shrunk after listening to Jiang Xi's words: "The concubine will never go out and talk nonsense, and Sister Yan will not either." As he spoke, he glanced at Taohua, "Sister Tao'er has a lot of time when she is outside, and she should also be cautious." "

Taohua nodded lightly: "I know." It's just, daddy, it seems that the big sister is afraid that she is pregnant with a male fetus this time, right? "

Jiang Xi coughed lightly: "The fetus is still in the womb, and it can't be done very accurately." "

Cao Shi understood this time. It can't be done very accurately, that is, most of the time it is still accurate. There are some experienced Langzhong in Wuxi, who can distinguish fetal men and women from the pulse, and the hospital is a carefully selected talent, is it not as good as Langzhong outside? In other words, Jiang Meihua's miscarriage is likely to be because she is pregnant with a male fetus. In other words, the queen has already set up the carriage and horses, and the concubines are not allowed to give birth to the prince.

Jiang Xi waved his hand, and was about to change the subject, when Mint came in from outside with a post: "Girl, it was sent by Mrs. Su, please go to Huishan Temple with you tomorrow." "

"You Huishan Temple?" Taohua was surprised, "Mrs. Su is less than three months pregnant, how can she think of You Huishan Temple?" "I finally got this baby, and I don't raise it like a baby, but I'm going to go to the temple, even if it's incense and vows, you can wait until three months later."

Mrs. Su really didn't want to go to Huishan Temple now, but after the lord of Nanhua said that he was going to go that day, she posted a post to invite her to travel with her a few days later, saying that she was just going to Huishan Temple to incense, and let the Bodhisattva bless her with a man in one fell swoop.

This really stumped Mrs. Sue. Speaking of which, no one would invite a pregnant woman out so unfamiliarly, but this is the lord of Nanhua, the red man in front of the queen mother, and the cousin of the emperor today. Even if the Su family has some wealth in Beijing, they can't afford to offend.

Why did the Lord of Nanhua do this, Mrs. Su also knew. Her eldest son Jiang Heng is twenty-five years old this year, and still has no son and half a daughter, the lord of Nanhua County went out this time, saying that he was looking for a husband, but in fact, he came all the way and worshiped all the Bodhisattvas who could worship, and he clearly came to ask for a son. She probably thought that Mrs. Su had also been married for many years and was pregnant, so she pulled Mrs. Su to go to the incense with her, so that Mrs. Jiang Wen's meaning was also happy. As for whether Mrs. Su herself is willing, it is completely out of her consideration.

If you follow the meaning of Su County's order, you have to resign. I got pregnant for the first time after I got married for a few years, and nothing is as important as this child. However, Mrs. Su thought about it again and again, and still agreed.

Since she became pregnant, she has been in good health, and she invited Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse, and also said that the fetus is stable. In this way, you can't excuse yourself with feeling unwell. If you say that you are pregnant, it is not suitable to go out - the lord of Nanhua knows that she is pregnant and still asks for a post, how can he be a reasonable person? If she annoyed her and turned around and spoke ill of the Su family in front of the Queen Mother, at that time, not only Su County's future would be blocked, but also in the entire Su family, she would also become a sinner.

"This county lord is also too ......" Cao Shi said half a sentence, remembering the queen's reckless behavior, and shrank back.

"Fortunately, Mrs. Su is in good health, and this baby is also stable, although Huishan Temple is a little farther away, there should be nothing wrong if you are careful." Taohua had already guessed that Mrs. Su invited her to travel with her just so that someone would take care of her along the way. Although the maids are thoughtful, they don't know medical skills after all, and if something goes wrong, they are helpless. But if you really want to invite a Lang Zhong to accompany you, it will be too much for the eyes of the county lord of Nanhua. Thinking about it, only Taohua is the most suitable.

Although Taohua has been in charge of the Jiang family's medicine hall for the past few years, and Mrs. Su has also heard of it, she has always only thought that she can take care of the accounts. It wasn't until she was diagnosed by Taohua that she was pregnant at her mother-in-law's birthday banquet, and her words were clear and clear, that she suspected that Taohua might really know medical skills, so she asked someone to inquire quietly.

This inquire, it turned out that just this year, a patient who went to Jiang's pharmacy to pick up medicine was seen by Taohua to have a wrong diagnosis and prescribed the wrong prescription. This is not a dead mouse that a blind cat can collide with. Although Mrs. Su instructed her subordinates not to go out and spread the word, she believed in her heart that Taohua must have been passed on by the Jiang family.

Therefore, this time she couldn't push back the invitation of the lord of Nanhua, so she thought of Taohua.

"Call Mrs. Su back, and say that I will go to Su's house early tomorrow morning." After Taohua finished instructing Mint, she added in a low voice, "Go to the medicine hall to borrow a pair of silver needles." "In her last life, when she left home, she had only studied acupuncture for two years, and she was not proficient in it. However, in case Mrs. Su has a tire gas, it is still possible to get a needle to save the emergency.

The behavior of the county lord of Nanhua is really not very well-behaved, but her status is noble, Mrs. Su does not dare to refuse, and the Jiang family has no choice but to sigh a few words, so they can only prepare a few medicines for Taohua to take, and go to the Su family early the next morning.

Mrs. Su was a little ashamed when she saw Taohua: "It's really-" Calling a girl's family who has not left the cabinet to take care of the fetus in her womb is really damaging to the reputation of the girl's family.

Taohua waved her hand generously: "Madam, don't say that, your body matters." Is there a thick cushion in the carriage? Madame relaxes and does not need to be nervous. It's not that you can't go out if you're pregnant, as long as your wife pays attention to herself, and if you feel unwell, tell me immediately. "

Mrs. Su took her hand and thanked her again and again, then turned her head and called Luomei: "Bring that osmanthus hairpin." "

Luomei had already prepared it, and immediately put on a flat box, but there was a jade hairpin inside. The whole body is blue and white, but there is a large piece of yellow jade skin on the hairpin's head, which happens to be carved into a branch of osmanthus. It was originally a piece of variegated jade, which was skillfully carved by craftsmen, but it became such a delicate and expressive hairpin. The hairpin body is smooth and moist, and it is obvious that the owner is very beloved and often rubbed.

Mrs. Su ignored Taohua's resignation, and inserted the hairpin into her with her own hands, looked left and right and said with a smile: "Although it is not yet August, it is not a bad situation." What's more, it also matches your skirt. "

Taohua wore a royal blue jacket today, with a light yellow skirt underneath, which is indeed somewhat similar to the color of the osmanthus on the hairpin's head. Mrs. Su clasped her hand tightly to prevent her from taking off the hairpin, and said solemnly: "If you are so polite, I will not dare to work you." If I delay it any longer, I'm afraid it will be too late to get to the county lord's side. "

Taohua had to thank her, and the two got into the carriage and went to the post house.

The carriage of the lord of Nanhua has long been prepared, wide and gorgeous, and it attracts the attention of pedestrians at the entrance of the post house. It's just that the county lord is still in the post house, and Mrs. Su has to get out of the carriage again and take Taohua in to salute.

The lord of Nanhua County was a little interested when he saw Taohua: "Where did this beautiful little girl come from?" Could it be your sister? "

Mrs. Su hurriedly bowed and smiled: "It's okay to say it's a sister." He briefly said a few words about Mrs. Su's discomfort on the road and was rescued by the Jiang family, and said, "A few days ago, she made a wish in the temple for her father, and this time she was going to repay the wish. The concubine is a stuffy gourd, thinking that she can laugh, so she boldly brought her with her, and it is good to be able to relieve the boredom of the county lord. "

When the lord of Nanhua heard this, he was a little displeased at first. She is not a fool, she heard Mrs. Su say that she is the daughter of a medical family, and she knows what her intentions are. In her opinion, Mrs. Su, the wife of the Qipin County Order, is a great luck to be invited by her, and it is really arrogant to bring a girl who understands medicine. However, after thinking about it, even if Mrs. Su had any discomfort, it had nothing to do with her, and she fell cleanly, so she smiled again: "Who said you were a stuffy gourd." "

A few people laughed and got up and went out, only to the side of the carriage, they saw a young man in a royal blue brocade jacket standing on the side of the carriage, followed by a boy in green clothes, and when he saw the lord of Nanhua, he smiled and said, "Mother." "

Taohua had already turned sideways to avoid behind Mrs. Su, but when she glanced around, she found that the boy in Tsing Yi was quietly retreating behind the carriage. If you don't retreat, this retreat attracted Taohua's attention, and after looking at it twice, she suddenly felt a little familiar, and was thinking about it, the boy in Tsing Yi also secretly looked at her, and quickly avoided it when he touched it.

All of a sudden, Taohua suddenly remembered - that day in Huishan Temple, wasn't this the guy who asked for tea on the wall? After making trouble for a long time, it was actually a descendant of the Jiang family. But the county lord of Nanhua obviously hasn't been to Huishan Temple, so this young man should have taken the little guy there that day?

Thinking so, the county lord of Nanhua had already smiled at Mrs. Su: "This is my youngest son, who came out with me." A few days ago, because I was unwell, and I thought about the Huiquan wine in the Huishan Temple, this kid actually ran by himself, not only brought the wine, but also asked the monk for some new tea, drank it well, and went to the tea shop to buy it for me to bring back. I don't know if it's because I'm addicted to alcohol, and I'm going to go with me today. "

"It turned out to be the second son." Mrs. Su praised very much, "Such a good talent, and it is rare to be so filial, always thinking about the county lord." It's not that I say, if anyone has such a son, he is afraid that he will wake up laughing when he dreams. The county lord is really blessed. "

This is flattery, but it is not a lie. Jiang Heng is sixteen years old this year, handsome, quite proficient in poetry and books, and has no smug spirit, it is not an exaggeration to say that a jade tree is in the wind. What's more, in the eyes of the lord of Nanhua, the youngest son is simply perfect, and after listening to Mrs. Su's praise, he suddenly smiled, and said a few words of modesty.

Taohua stood behind Mrs. Su, just lowered her head, and did not follow Mrs. Su until she was about to get into the carriage. The county lord of Nanhua didn't take the daughter of a medical family in his eyes, and he didn't mention her to Jiang Heng at all, so Jiang Heng didn't notice that there was someone standing behind him. It was only when the crowd walked around that he found that there was a girl behind Mrs. Su, who was dressed simply, but she was not dressed as a maid. Just as he was about to take another look, he felt that the little girl Qingzhan gently tugged at himself behind him, and said in a low voice: "Childe, this girl is the ...... in the Zen courtyard next to him that day."

Jiang Heng really didn't see the appearance of Taohua and the three of them clearly that day. When they were by the spring, all three of them wore hats, and they sat under a tree in the Zen courtyard, only Jiang Yanhua was facing the bamboo wall, but she was always used to keeping her head down, and she couldn't see her eyebrows clearly. Later, as soon as Taohua turned his head, he squatted down again, so he only remembered her voice, but he didn't know what the face of the person was.

As soon as Qingzhan said this, Jiang Heng's eyes couldn't help but look over.
