653 A false alarm
Fennel went back and told Hua Tian about the 1510 she overheard, and Hua Tian shook his head when he heard it.
If it is really like what the concubine said, she not only made a sachet for Zhongli Erlang, but also fed Zhongli Erlang infertility medicine to drink, then Zhongli Erlang is ninety percent useless.
Before, she and Zhong Li Che were still thinking about how to settle accounts with Zhong Li Erlang, but now it seems that they don't have to make a move.
The heir must be what Zhongli Erlang cares about the most, and with the heir, he can be regarded as having an inheritance. If he does not have children, he will work hard all his life in the future, and even if he has achievements, he will not be able to pass them on.
Hua Tian seemed to be able to see the almost crazy Zhongli Erlang through Fennel's narration.
Sandalwood asked on the side, "Is there a medicine that can make a man eat it and not have children?" β
"Of course, there are, and there are many. Cotton seeds, tripterygium wilfordii, seven-leaf flowers, earthworms, camellia seeds, etc., if a man eats them, it will lead to the inability to have children. However, this is not absolute, and there is still a very small hope to have children. Hua Tian said with a smile.
Fennel said, "According to what I heard, that little concubine seems to be very sure that the second young master will not have children. Maybe it's not any of the medicines that the young lady said? β
Laiyi also looked at Hua Tian.
They are all Hua Tian's maids, so they naturally don't want Zhongli Erlang to have children. If Zhongli Erlang has an heir, it always makes them feel unsure, and they are worried that when Zhongli Erlang and Zhongli Che will grab the Zhenguo Mansion.
Hua Tian nodded, "Of course, maybe it's something else." There are so many herbs in the world, and there may be many miracles that I have never seen before. β
Laiyi, fennel and sandalwood listened to it, and their faces were disappointed.
Hua Tian couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "If Zhongli Erlang has no hope, I'm afraid that he will give up and do something to us. It's better to give him some small hope, so that he can have a head. β
When Fennel heard this, her eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again, "The young lady is right, if the second young master loses hope, I am afraid that he will find it and die together." If you give him some hope, he will definitely cherish it and not act lightly. β
Laiyi and Sandalwood soon understood this truth. One of them asked Sandalwood. "So what do we do? Do you want to find a doctor for the second young master, and let the doctor explain it clearly to the second young master? β
"Anyone can do this, but we can't do it." Laiyi shook his head.
"That's right, even if we don't do anything. Grandfather will definitely find out too. Hua Tian said.
The result came to the next day. A female doctor was invited to the house. Help Fu and several concubines in her house to see a doctor.
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo had a very unsightly face, and declared to the female doctor that the Fu family went to the garden to enjoy the flowers together. Standing close, one person could not stand steadily, and several people fell and injured themselves.
When Hua Tian heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, the excuse that the old Duchess of Zhenguo was looking for was really nondescript.
"The old lady can't think about it, how does she know that the second young master actually did something to the second young lady?" Laiyi couldn't help but smile.
Fennel shook her head, "I guess that the second young master almost beat all the ladies in his room." The lightly injured old lady didn't care, and the more seriously injured old lady picked it out and hired a doctor. β
"But we have to hurry up and let the second young master know that he can still have children, otherwise the second young master is only afraid of going crazy to our garden." Sandalwood said worriedly.
Zhongli Erlang beat the people in his room, and it looked like a precursor to madness.
Laiyi and Fennel nodded in agreement with Sandalwood's words.
Hua Tian smiled, "Don't worry, I'm afraid that my grandfather will quietly invite a doctor in this afternoon." β
Zhongli Erlang hit the people in the room, and the old town duke knew it, and the old town prince would definitely know it. Although the Shi family is not good, Zhongli Erlang is a person from the Zhenguo Mansion after all, and they will not let Zhongli Erlang go down to absurdity.
Lilac was very busy, but she also heard about these things, so she ran to Fu's garden after taking a look, and soon she inquired about the most news.
It is said that the concubine who drugged Zhongli Erlang almost lost half her life. I haven't woken up since I was beaten unconscious last night. The little maid who took care of her touched the concubine's snort and said that it was about to die.
As for Zhongli Erlang's room, everyone was right, everyone was beaten.
The most humiliating of them all was Fu, who was whipped in the face with a red whip mark on her face. It is said that she covered her face and cried all night, and the next day the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo came, and she sought death and life.
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo encountered bad things one after another, and knew that the Fu family would definitely not dare to go back to her parents' house, so she had no leisure to comfort her. Even some material compensation was not seen, and Fu was so angry that he scolded the old Duchess of Zhenguo for being partial.
The Duchess of the old town heard Fu's curse and replied to her directly, "It's okay if you want jewelry, when will you give me a grandson, when will I give you jewelry." β
Fu Shi was silent on the spot, and the coldness of the old Zhenguo Duchess made her frightened, and also made her understand that she had no capital to bargain with the old Zhenguo Duchess.
Since Shi was beheaded, Fu's momentum has weakened. Her mother's family is not too high, and without Shi's thighs, she no longer dares to hug her, let alone support Fu's.
Except for the Fu family, the rest of the concubines were beaten more seriously, but none of them were injured in conspicuous places.
Fu's injury was not serious, and she took the initiative to ask the old Duchess of Zhenguo to ask a female doctor to help her, because she was afraid that the whip would be disfigured in the future if she was whipped on her face.
When the female doctor helped Fu and several concubines prescribe medicine at that time, she didn't have much expression on her face, but her eyes were shining, and she seemed to know what was going on.
Before leaving, the female doctor left a lot of medicine in the garden of the second young lady, saying that she was prepared. The slave must have known that there were still many injuries. Lilac said.
Sandalwood retorted to her, "It's not that we don't have medicine in our house, why do we want her specifically?" β
"Many of the medicines in the house are in the hands of the old lady, do you think the old lady is willing to use them for those concubines? doesn't have a son and a half daughter, but there are frequent troubles, and it would be good if the old lady didn't sell it. Lilac said.
Sandalwood thought about it too, and pondered beside it. No more talking.
"Okay, no more arguing. There are frequent incidents in Fu's garden, and I don't know if it will spread outside. Lilac, you usually pay attention to it, and make it clear to Yueming. Hua Tian said.
Lilac hurriedly responded.
When Zhong Li Che came back for lunch, Hua Tian told him everything that happened in Zhong Li Erlang's house, and said with a smile,
"We were thinking about how to get revenge on him, but now it seems that we don't need to. He beat such a group of wives and concubines, and he will definitely suffer in the future. β
Zhongli Che pursed his lips and said disdainfully. "Useless thingβ"
If Zhongli Jiro kills someone. He also respected him as a good man. Whipping a weak woman will make a miasma of smoke in his garden, and it may even spread outside, affecting the reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion. It's just rubbish.
"I think he's at the end of his rope. Ignore nothing. Only willing to vent as much as he wants. Hua Tian whispered.
Zhong Li Che nodded, "I'm afraid that he will come to embarrass you then, although someone will protect you." But if we let him into our garden, it will not be good to say it. I took a break and went to my grandfather's house to inquire and urge him to find a doctor to show him. β
"I think it's better for you not to go, I'm afraid that Zhongli Erlang thinks that we are trying to calm his heart, and specially invited a doctor to coax him. If we don't care about it, and my grandfather will handle it himself, Erlang may believe it. Hua Tian persuaded.
Zhongli frowned, "If we don't care about it, I don't know what the outside will say about us." In that case, I will go to their house and ask him, and then tell him in front of him that I would like to ask for a doctor. I'm doing these brothers and sisters on the surface, and it's good to try his reaction. β
Hua Tian nodded, and carefully instructed Zhong Liche to be careful before letting people go out.
It didn't take long for Zhong Liche to come back, the disdain on his face was even more obvious, and he complained to Hua Tian, "It's just a lost dog." β
"He didn't even provoke you?" Hua Tian was curious.
If Zhongli Erlang decided that he would not have an heir, he was afraid that he would be so crazy that he would not even take Zhongli Che into his eyes, and only want to breathe out the evil anger in his heart.
"I provoked it, and I beat it back." Zhong Liche said, with a smile on his face, "I wanted to beat him for a long time, but because the old man was there, he didn't do it, and now he takes the initiative to provoke, I call back, the old man watched, but he couldn't say anything." β
Hua Tian looked at him and saw that his face was bright, and it seemed that the yin owl of his youth was gone, and he also laughed, "Don't you want to cover his face and beat him?" How do you have to endure until now? β
Zhong Li Che smiled and reached out to touch Hua Tian's head, "When I was fifteen years old, I beat him with a cloth bag, but it wasn't enjoyable enough. You have to fight openly in front of your grandfather and the old man, so that you can get rid of your hatred. β
Hua Tian thought about it, and it seemed to be the same, so he laughed.
Seeing Hua Tian smiling happily, Zhong Li Che also laughed.
"Grandfather has already decided, so in the afternoon, he quietly invited a doctor to come in and help him see a doctor. I don't think he's willing to do so. Zhong Li Che said again.
Hua Tian nodded and didn't ask anything more.
No matter how many vicious thoughts Zhongli Erlang has now, he will be partially relieved after the afternoon, and he will not rush up to do something that will end up together.
In the afternoon, the doctor came, and was personally welcomed into Fu's garden by the housekeeper to help Zhongli Erlang see a doctor.
It is said that both Lao Zhen Guogong and Zhong Lide were present, obviously very concerned about whether Zhong Li Erlang would no longer have children.
Lilac relied on martial arts and ambushed nearby to eavesdrop.
The doctor helped Zhongli Erlang diagnose his pulse, asked some questions, and asked him to bring the little concubine up.
At that time, the concubine was almost dead, and after being brought up, she couldn't wake up. In the end, it was the doctor who took the expensive medicine and poured it on the concubine, so that the concubine could be woken up.
When the concubine first woke up, she didn't want to say what medicine she had given Zhongli Erlang, and finally the old princess of Zhenguo came out in person, and after talking to the concubine in detail, the concubine opened her mouth.
The medicine she gave was a seven-leaf flower, and there was nothing special about it. The reason why she insisted that Zhongli Erlang would never have children was because she believed that the medicine could completely solve Zhongli Erlang.
After listening to the concubine's description, the doctor helped Zhongli Erlang prescribe some medicine and said, "Although it will have a big impact, it is not completely out of chance." After a few years, there is a good chance of having an heir. β
The old town Guogong and his wife, Zhong Lide and Zhong Li Erlang were all overjoyed and thanked them again and again.
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo told the people in Zhongli Erlang's room for two years and had no good news, and asked the doctor for advice.
The doctor also explained in detail, but I am afraid that it is because the people in the second young master's house are anxious, which affects the mood, so that they have not been able to conceive. In the end, he said that this matter must be natural, especially to maintain the good mood of both parties.
Zhong Lide sent the doctor out, and the old town Guogong and his wife stayed, taught Zhong Lierlang a lesson, and scolded him for daring to hurt his wife and concubine.
After scolding, the old Duchess of Zhenguo instructed him to make good compensation in the future, so as not to resentment in Fu's heart. As for those concubines, they simply sold them all at once, lest they resented in their hearts and did it again.
Zhongli Erlang's mood was like returning to heaven from hell, and after listening to the words of the old Duchess of Zhenguo, he naturally nodded again and again. He also knew that he could never divorce his wife, so he must give Fu an explanation.
After saying these things, Lao Zhen Guogong mentioned helping Zhongli Erlang find an official position in a remote place, so that he was not too far away.
"You don't have a reputation, it's not easy to find a position near the capital, it's hard to find it, and it's not easy to get promoted in the future. Why don't you go to a remote place, so that you can have a chance to develop, and then you can rise up with your political achievements? β
Zhongli Erlang fell silent when he heard this, and let him choose, he must have chosen to stay near the capital. But as the old town Guogong said, there is no chance of rising up if he stays around here. Last time, that position didn't fall to him, but I'm afraid that there are also reasons for his reputation.
In addition, looking at the current situation, the imperial examination is a foregone conclusion. If he hadn't made a decision earlier, he wouldn't have been able to make his turn even in remote places. How many famous scholars are there in the world?
"It's up to my grandfather to call the shots, but Erlang is not very good, I don't know if he will be cut off halfway like last time?" Zhongli Erlang thought about it and said slowly.
He hopes that once it is decided, there will be no variables.
Last time, the position of the young Yin of Daishan Mansion was so good, he had great expectations, but in the end, it was empty. Afterwards, he inquired, and someone mentioned the Hua family in an ominous manner, and he knew that it must be the Hua family who made the move, so that he could not be the Shaoyin of Daishan Mansion.
This time, he hoped that his grandfather could make a guarantee, as long as his grandfather made a guarantee in front of him, Hua Liuniang and her two brothers would definitely give face to his grandfather.
"Don't worry, it will definitely work out this time." The old town Guogong said solemnly.
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo said beside her, "You have never left Beijing, and you have to take care of yourself when you go out." There is also the fact that you have been pampered since you were a child, and you are inevitably a little unfamiliar with the world, so when you take office, you must always bring a smile and be careful in everything. β
Zhongli Erlang's eyes were moist, "Thank you grandmother for your love." β
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo patted him on the shoulder, "I know that you have a dislike with Da Lang, but Hua Da Hanlin and Hua Xiao Hanlin are very capable, and they are known as virtuous in the Qingliu faction, if you are good friends with them, it will be more convenient to come back in the future." (To be continued......)
