At dusk, on the purple curtains and dark red board wood paint in the hall of the Jinxiang Palace, several sunsets penetrating through the curtains are decorated on it, like golden lace, and the streamer is gorgeous.

Guo Shao put down the things in his hand and prepared to straighten up. He turned his head and saw Lu Lan talking to Li Shanggong, it was so quiet that she could hear her speaking very quietly, although she was speaking the official dialect of Kaifeng Mansion, but obviously with the accent of Shudi, the accent that came out of Xiao Niang's mouth was quite good, Lu Lan said softly: "I have already boiled the medicine, just heat it up a little, drink a bowl before going to bed and tomorrow morning......"

Li Shanggong nodded in agreement. She looked at Lu Xiaoniang differently from others, after all, Lu Xiaoniang was a young woman with a water spirit, just Langzhong who treated the emperor, and Li Shanggong was also very polite.

After Lu Lan finished speaking, he came over with a jar, put the porcelain bowl in his hand on Guo Shao's table, and poured a bowl of dark soup. Guo Shao knew that Chinese medicine was very bitter, but the white porcelain bowl with lace was much more pleasing to the eye, and the porcelain used in the court was very fine and beautiful, and one of the few items in this era that could be close to modern craftsmanship was this kind of thing.

Lu Lan said softly: "Some diseases of wind and cold can't be cured by any medicine, and the decoction can only recuperate, making people feel better, and you have to return your own body when you are cured; You have to get better quickly and rest for the best. Your Majesty is already the Son of Heaven, why bother like this? ”

Guo Shao said casually: "I can't talk about hard work now, look at this place...... In contrast, there are many people in the world, who just hope that the roof will not leak rain, the clothes can keep out the cold, and the food can fill their stomachs. Let's be pampered here, clothed and fed, and dare to talk about what hardships? In his position, if he does not consider the world at all, then it is the real wrongdoing. ”

Lu Lan didn't say anything when she heard this, and reached out to touch Guo Shao's forehead, Guo Shao was stunned for a moment. She picked up the porcelain bowl and handed it over, and when Guo Shao reached out to take it, he touched her fingertips and saw that she hurriedly lowered her head.

Guo Shao drank up the decoction in one gulp, and sighed "ha": "It's not as bitter as I imagined, and it's a little sweet." ”

Lu Lan said softly: "I specially put licorice. ”

Such careful and attentive care made Guo Shao feel very warm, and vaguely, he recalled Lu Lan's careful care halfway through the battle of Shu, when the attack was blocked and he was sick and depressed.

Guo Shaodao: "Your uncle's family surnamed Bai Langzhong seems to have gone to Beijing to be the imperial doctor, I saw Zuo You, said hello, let your uncle be promoted to an official, first become the imperial doctor; Zuo You is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and he is in charge of the Taiyi Medical Department below, which is very convenient. ”

Lu Lan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this......"

"The imperial doctor shouldn't be your uncle, but it's still a relative. If you are promoted, I can kiss you when we meet. Guo Shao glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's not all about Lu Niangzi's face, it just so happens that I need a few people to do things recently." ”

Lu Lan was suspicious: "What can my uncle do?" ”

Guo Shao said: "The armor of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army is becoming more and more complete, and there are very few people who can be killed on the spot on the battlefield, but if they are injured, they will die if they are not enough medical personnel. ”

After hearing this, Lu Lan no longer refused.

Guo Shao has people in his heart, and he can't love everyone wholeheartedly, so he can only repay others with practical benefits. And he enjoys such a relationship very much, with limited affection, the benefits of sufficient power and wealth rewards, to maintain the warm treatment of others; Most people know how to be grateful, so they will repay themselves with their hearts...... Again, it is the benefit of power, but it is much better to do so than to threaten it with might. Guo Shao said again: "Would you like to move into the palace to live?" ”

Lu Lan hesitated slightly, and said, "The slave family does not dare to disobey His Majesty's will. ”

Guo Shao groaned: "Then I'll take your consent." Don't worry, you're not a concubine yet, I allow you to enter and leave the palace as easily as Jing Niang, and it's easy to see people from your uncle's family. ”

He asked in a low voice, "Do you know who the pregnant woman you and Jing Niang took care of a while ago is?" ”

Lu Lan's originally relaxed expression changed slightly, shook his head and said, "I really don't know." ”

Guo Shao thought in his heart that although this little lady had stayed in Hebei and Shudi, after all, she was just an ordinary woman, so he reminded more clearly: "Then you don't have to inquire." ”

Lu Lan said: "I know, Jing Niang also reminded me. ”

……

Sure enough, after drinking those decoctions, Guo Shao's condition was very warm, and he was fine in a few days. At this time, the officials sent by the imperial court to receive King Wei and Fu Zhaoxu also returned, and they had already arrived in Beijing and settled in the Fu family's own mansion, not only Fu Yanqing and Zhaoxu, but also Fu Liu.

Guo Shao decided to summon the king of Wei the next afternoon and set up a family banquet to entertain him.

He went to tell the Fu sisters first, and both of them were very happy and looking forward to meeting their families. In any case, it was their biological father and eldest brother, and they hadn't seen each other for a few years; The last time Fu Zhaoxu went to Beijing to offer the head of Li Jixun's son, he met once. And Fu Yanqing is afraid that he has not seen his eldest daughter since Fu Jinzhan remarried the first emperor, and he has not seen his second daughter since the Tokyo Mutiny.

Guo Shao saw them smiling, and said: "There is a saying that once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea, and both of you are in the palace, and it is not easy to see your family." ”

Fu Ermei smiled: "Who said that, why haven't I heard this sentence?" ”

"I said it." Guo Shao joked appropriately, but it did not affect their mood. After a while, he said to Fu Jinzhan again: "The imperial sister-in-law has seen the king of Wei, and you can persuade him to live in Tokyo for a long time in the future." ”

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said: "My father is the king of Wei, the Yin of the Daimyo Mansion, and the Daimyo Mansion also has Taishou and officials at all levels, even if he is in Tokyo, he will not affect government affairs." ”

Guo Shao nodded: "That's what I mean." The main real power of the King of Wei is the Tianxiong Army's Jiedu envoys, but now in addition to the border, the power of the Jiedu envoys has gradually decreased, which is also the general trend. In the future, when the time is right, we will also take back the financial rights of the local towns......"

In front of Fu Jinzhan, there was no military machine to speak of, Guo Shao said very directly, but in order not to appear blunt, he said calmly, "King Wei might as well buy some business in prosperous Tokyo, and it will be easier to meet our family in the future." ”

Guo Shao attaches great importance to meeting Fu Yanqing, not only because of Fu Yanqing's family strength, prestige, and status, but also because he is very special to Guo Shao. A very important experience in my memory is that Guo Shao was a guard of the palace.
