5. The east building is uneven
The crown prince Taibao, Wu Yingdian University scholar Yan Song, concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, firmly under one person, above ten thousand people for decades, the status is extremely prominent, and his son Yan Shifan served as the waiter of the Ministry of Works, alias East Building.
Yan Shifan looks white and short, like a porcelain doll, and at this moment, he is in the study......
There was a maid who carried a three-inch golden lotus and ran to the study three times in one step.
"Master, Lord Zhao has settled the divine doctor and is waiting outside the door."
"Su'er, Wenhua is not an outsider, please invite him in."
As soon as Zhao Wenhua entered the door, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted......
"Xiaguan meets the little pavilion elder!"
"Brother Tai doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat. Su'er, don't hurry up and serve tea to Lord Zhao. ”
It turned out that this person was Yan Song's godson and a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and the two had a very good personal relationship.
Su'er sang a song and hurriedly came over to make tea, Zhao Wenhua stared at those little eyes, looked at her carefully, and looked at her ashamedly.
"If Brother Tai likes it, take her away."
Su Er was shocked when she heard this, the teapot in her hand almost slipped off, her cheeks were flushed with timidity, and she suddenly showed a charming face.
Zhao Wenhua quickly took the teapot and took the opportunity to grab her slender hand......
Su'er couldn't help but scream, and hurriedly dodged out, but he grabbed him tighter, and immediately turned red.
"Master Zhao, the slave family is already Lord Luo Wenlong's family, he, he wants to take the slave family as a concubine."
Yan Shifan was furious and scolded: "Damn minions, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Luo Wenlong was a prisoner of the imperial court, and Zhao Wenhua was shocked when he heard it......
"Brother Xian, fortunately, there are no outsiders here, could it be that you still have dealings with Luo Wenlong?"
"It's all a long time ago." Yan Shifan said, waved his hand to Su'er, and said viciously: "If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, I will feed you to the dog and go down." ”
Driving Su Er out of the study, Zhao Wenhua was thoughtful, and suddenly realized.
"May I ask Brother Xian, in the name of the cabinet, after looking for Xu Yi from all over the country, but Luo Wenlong gave you the idea?"
"Not bad. The world's famous doctors have seen it all, and even Li Shizhen can't do anything, what do you say? ”
"Pray to Heaven for your blessing! The virtuous brother suffered a big loss because of this eye disease. ”
"Now that my father has reached his old age, it has not been a few days since he returned to his hometown, if I really wait until this day, I will not be able to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion, and there will be a situation where people will be killed by swords and I will be fish, and the consequences will be unimaginable! We don't have much time left. ”
"With the great talent of the virtuous brother, what Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and the like, they are only worthy of carrying shoes for the virtuous brother, if the virtuous brother can't enter Wenyuan Pavilion, then the sky is really eyeless, and there is no reason in the world!"
"The facial features are not correct, and you are not allowed to be an official in the court, to be honest, now Jiajing Lao'er has named me the squire of the Ministry of Industry, and he is already on the open side of the net, but he was scolded by that group of damn imperial historians, and he is incomplete, if he can't cure his eye disease, if he wants to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky!"
"Brother Xian, do you want him to come over for a consultation?"
Yan Shifan knew that he had a poor reputation among the people, so he was inevitably a little unconfident.
"Brother Tai, even if he has the ability of a god, if he refuses to heal well, what can he do?"
Zhao Wenhua nodded, he had just argued with Xu Yihou and Zhang Yue for a long time, and he was afraid that this miracle doctor would suddenly retreat.
"Please rest assured, this old man thinks that the court wants to recruit him into the palace as a royal doctor, and brings a pair of children, just separate their father and son, and take these children as hostages, he has to comply; What's more, this rural villager has ambitions, as Luo Wenlong said, if he has real skills, he will be able to cure the eye disease of the virtuous brother. ”
"Maybe Luo Wenlong is currying favor with him, as far as I know, he hooked up with Hong Zhenren in a series, and there are many big things to hide from me. Since I have found a miracle doctor, I don't need to rush to see him, let him see the previous prescription first. ”
"It's okay, let Yan Xi do it. Brother Xian, now that the undercurrent in the court is turbulent, you have to be more careful! Speaking of this, Zhao Wenhua was very cautious: "Apart from Su'er, who else knows Luo Wenlong?" ”
"Only Yan Xi has a connection with him, and the others don't know about it. This hateful guy actually got involved with the maid in my house, and he really didn't realize it when he died, and I have to punish this bastard severely! ”
"Brother Xian, what Su'er said today, if it is heard and spread by outsiders, it will be a big trouble......"
At this time, Su'er came to the study again......
"Master Qiqi, the old mansion sent someone to pick up the green words."
"Su'er, you come in for me!"
Su Er shivered, bowed her head and stood in front of Yan Shifan.
"Don't be afraid, tell me, what did Luo Wenlong tell you?"
"Master Luo that day, he, he was drunk, saying that his wife committed suicide in his hometown in Huizhou, and now the two daughters are living overseas, seeing me, I am the same age as the eldest lady of his family, and want to recognize me as a goddaughter, and then, he, he asked me to accompany him ......, and then he said that he wanted to accept me as a concubine, so he told me a lot of confidant words, and also said that he had a lot of money overseas, and he couldn't spend it for several lifetimes......"
Yan Shifan squinted one eye, trembling with anger, there were many ulterior secrets between him and Luo Wenlong! Throwing a rat bogey, this little girl can't be offended.
"Su'er, are you still satisfied with Luo Wenlong?"
"Satisfied, satisfied! Master Luo is a good person, of course I don't have to say it. ”
"That's good! In the future, you won't have to do the rough work in the house, and I will take care of this study. This is a freshly written green word, take it. ”
In fact, Luo Wenlong once warned Su'er not to mention her name in the Yan Mansion, if it wasn't for Zhao Wenhua wanting to take her away, these things would be stuffy in her heart, and she would not say anything about them.
According to the past events described by Luo Wenlong, combined with Yan Shifan's words, Su'er could hear that they had something unspeakable, although he didn't like Luo Wenlong, but he rarely had the opportunity to come, but he had a special identity, and he usually fell at ease, and he no longer had to look down and look at people's faces.
Thinking of this, Su'er took the green words with a smile and ran out of the study like a smoke.
"Su'er, you come back for me!"
Suddenly hearing Yan Shifan's shouting, the slim Su'er turned back, looking down and generous.
"Master, may I ask what else is going on?"
"Tell the messenger of the old mansion that if the old man enters the palace to meet him, ask him to play His Majesty the Emperor, and say that my eye disease is about to be cured."
This green word was sent to Yan Song's hand, and it was already the time to hold the lamp.
Since he had already invited a miracle doctor, Yan Song did not dare to slack off for a moment, and immediately took the eight-carrying sedan chair to rush to the interior.
The Forbidden City is known as the Ziwei Star Altar, is the residence of the Son of Heaven in the world, implying the naturalization of the Quartet, the eight sides come to the court, the Qianqing Palace is facing a long street in the west, the Huangji Palace, the Zhongji Hall and the Jianji Hall are located in the central axis, along the middle line to the east and west side exhibition, the height is staggered, the palace tower, the red wall and yellow tile, the carved beams and paintings, the golden splendor, like the fairyland on earth.
In the palace of nourishing the heart, I saw Emperor Jiajing holding a bun on his head, holding floating dust in his hand, wearing a cyan robe, carrying a sword, and sitting in the tent with his eyes slightly closed.
The hall was filled with smoke, and the incense table was full of plates of "elixir" of different sizes and colors.
Three feet away from the curtain, the old Yan Song was tall and thin, with sparse eyebrows, and recited the Qingci congratulatory table loudly in a slightly trembling voice......
"Shifan's green words are really earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods, and I am quite moved!"
"Shengshang Mingjian, the minister is a seventy-year-old foreman cabinet, long live serving my lord for 16 years, and now Weichen is old and frail, mentally exhausted, and the vote is going to discuss with the children of the East Building, and he has also asked him to enter the palace for me and serve His Majesty......"
Speaking of this, Yan Song suddenly cried bitterly, and Emperor Jiajing began to sigh continuously......
"I can sympathize with the loyalty of your father and son, although Shifan has the talent of heaven and earth, but he was born with a short body and is blind in one eye, which is really a creation and a trick."
Hearing this, Yan Song stopped crying, suddenly showed sincere fear, and hurriedly knelt down......
"Long live my lord, long live Hongfu, Shifan Xiao'er's eye disease is about to heal, wait a few days, Weichen will take him into the palace to thank God."
"If you can cure his eye disease, I will make him a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and at that time, it will not be too late for you to become a scholar."
