Chapter 30: Temptation
"Go to Xie's house?" Zhang Shaotian frowned, "Can't you go another day?" I just came back and I'm dirty and tired. ā
"What do you smell like?" Zhang Shaohong also smelled a smell on his body, pinched his nose with his hand, and fanned his other hand in front of him, "Go wash it!" Go wash up! ā
Zhang Shaotian smiled and arched his hand, "Big brother, I'll go first." Then he said to his mother, Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, I will come back to eat with you in the evening." ā
"Good, good!" Mrs. Zhang wiped away her tears and laughed, "Listen to your brother, go wash up!" ā
After Zhang Shaotian left, Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Shaohong, "Is the Xie family's Xiaowu back?" ā
"It's back. I only came back yesterday, and I heard that I was sick today. Zhenqin and her mother were a little uneasy and wanted to see what was going on. Zhang Shaohong said with a gloomy face.
"Alas, according to me, you just verbally said it to the father of the Xie family's Xiaowu back then, and it shouldn't be true." Old Madam Zhang sighed and patted the position beside her, "Come and sit and talk." ā
Zhang Shaohong walked over and sat beside Mrs. Zhang.
The old lady of the Zhang family passed away early, and the Zhang family was supported by Zhang Shaohong, the eldest son, and Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang is also accustomed to discussing with this eldest son in everything.
āā¦ā¦ Xie Wu was too famous a few years ago, and the fourth child of our family left home, and no one could compete with Xie Wu, so I remembered the family matter I talked about at the beginning. Although it was just a verbal joke, I also took Xie Fu's jade pendant as a token, in our place, we can attack and retreat, but we don't have to worry too much. Zhang Shaohong frowned, "Now that the fourth child is back, we don't have to pull the Xie family." Let's wait until Xie Wuzhong is raised. ā
Although it was rumored in previous years that "Xie Lang is the most talented", but there was no end to the imperial examination, and all the praises were just praise, and they could not be counted.
"It's fine. The imperial examination is not so easy to get into. People like our five phases spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and only one or two people from each family are promoted every three years. The eldest and second eldest of the Xie family did not have this life, so the Xie family declined. And the Xie family's junior five, at present, is stronger than his two elder brothers, but I don't know how much stronger. Mrs. Zhang brought tea and discussed with Zhang Shaohong the advantages and disadvantages of the Xie family, and she was right.
Zhang Shaohong nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It's still my mother's knowledge." If Zhenqin and her mother had half of her mother's knowledge, I wouldn't have to be so sad. ā
Old Madam Zhang glanced at him with a smile and said, "Do you now understand what I meant when I said that I would marry a wife and marry a virtuous person?" Since you are greedy for beauty, don't worry too much about other aspects. You are a person who does big things, don't be too greedy, you have to know the trade-offs, and you can't take all the benefits, right? ā
Zhang Shaohong's face turned pale, he got up and bowed down and said, "Shaohong respectfully obeys his mother's teachings. ā
"Well, let's go down. Wait a minute, you take your daughter-in-law, Zhenqin, and the fourth child to Xie's house together. In addition to finding out about Xie Wu's situation, as well as inside and outside Xie family, you'd better also investigate. I've heard that they've all been reduced to selling their ancestral homes. -- This is not a sign of prosperity. Your daughter is the daughter of our Zhang family's eldest house, and the gold is expensive, so you can't marry casually. Mrs. Zhang put down the teacup, "Go ahead." ā
Zhang Shaohong arched his hand very convincingly, "Mother, then I'll go first." ā
ā¦ā¦
Zhang Zhenqin sat in her boudoir and listened to her sisters tell her the news.
"Third sister, I heard that the fifth son of Xie was sick outside and came back, and their family urgently invited the imperial doctor to come to the door."
"Yes, I heard that it seems to be very sick, menacing, and I fell ill all at once."
"Alas, I thought that Xie Wugongzi was only eight years old, and he was born well, so he was a good match for the third sister. Now it seems that this sick body is not very good. ā
"The third sister has always admired heroes in armor, but unfortunately, Xie Wugongzi is not a hero......"
Zhang Zhenqin clenched her teeth when she heard this, and even her lips were almost broken.
These sisters and sisters, when Xie Dongli became famous a few years ago, they all envied her for having such a good match, and now they say that Xie Dongli is so weak that he falls down as soon as the wind blows, and he immediately gloating......
Zhang Zhenqin gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile and said, "Maybe it's the wind cold, right?" If people eat whole grains, where can they not get sick? I'm going to ask my mother to see what's going on. ā
ā¦ā¦
In the inner courtyard of the Xie family, Lu Ruilan, the eldest sister-in-law of the Xie family, and Ning Shumei, the second sister-in-law, listened to the imperial doctor talk about his condition in Xie Dong's room.
āā¦ā¦ Xie Wuye should have been tired from the journey and frightened, so the internal and external feelings came out all of a sudden, and there were these red rashes. The imperial doctor carefully checked Xie Dongli's pulse, and then looked at the red rash on his head, face and arms.
Xie Dongli closed his eyes, leaned his back against the wall of the bed, looked indifferent, and did not speak.
Lu Ruilan saw that Xie Dongli's disdainful expression was too obvious, so she hurriedly played a round for him, and said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Zeng, can you show these prescriptions to get rid of the rash?" ā
Imperial Physician Zeng took it and looked at it carefully, stroked his beard and said, "Yes!" Yes! These are good recipes! - Where did you get it? ā
Of course, these recipes were left by Situ Yingsleeve.
Lu Ruilan had a little more affection for Situ Yingsleeve, and she said with a smile: "This is a family friend of our family, and it is said that it has a miraculous effect on allergic rashes." It seems that this is indeed the case? ā
"Well, you can take the medicine according to the prescription and fry it with the fifth master." After speaking, Imperial Physician Zeng got up and carried the medicine box, and instructed: "The fifth master's body is extremely hot, so it should be diffused more. ā
After Imperial Physician Zeng left, Xie Dongli opened his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "...... Where did this quack come in? What nonsense. ā
"Fifth brother, don't say that." Lu Ruilan took a handkerchief, moistened it in a basin of water, wrung it out, and wiped it on his face.
Ning Shumei came over and took Xie Donglian's wrist to diagnose his pulse, and said in a deep voice: "Imperial Doctor Zeng still has some skills. At least it's not bad at all. ā
Xie Dongli didn't want to be touched, but Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei were just like his mother, they were the people who brought him up from childhood, not unrelated people, so they endured it and patiently let them pick it up.
After finally cleaning up, Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei both said, "You are so resting, don't read anymore." ā
Xie Dongli nodded, and was about to rest, but he heard another mother-in-law report outside the door, "The eldest lady, the second lady, the fifth master, Deputy Zhang is here, and Mrs. Zeng, Miss Zhang, and Fourth Master Zhang." ā
Lu Ruilan glanced at Ning Shumei and said, "I'll go and have a look first." ā
Ning Shumei smiled and said, "Needless to say, these people are here to see the fifth brother." ā
"As soon as the fifth brother came back, they came to the door, but they had a heart." Lu Ruilan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Then I'll go." ā
After Lu Ruilan left, Ning Shumei also left, and when he left, let Xie Dongli rest well and not be tired.
They were all gone, and Xie Dongli took the book and read it.
His little servant Ah Shun came to his side and whispered, "Fifth master, go to the front and have a look?" ā
Xie Dongli didn't raise his eyes, just shook his head, and didn't let him go.
In the upper room of the Xie family's inner courtyard, Lu Ruilan met with the Zhang family, and first said to Zhang Shaotian: "Shaotian, you can be regarded as back." ā
Zhang Shaotian arched his hand with a smile, "I'm tired of thanking my sister-in-law." He asked her again, "What about Brother Xie?" ā
"Our uncle went out to the barracks for training, and he was not at home." Lu Ruilan said with a smile.
A few more people exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Zhang Shaohong's wife Zeng Huiyan said with a flickering look in her eyes: "I heard that Fifth Prince Xie is back, why don't you come out to see him?" ā
