Chapter Forty-Nine: The Enemy Comes to the Door
Experienced doctors know to ask if they are married when they see menstrual cramps for women.
Although it is not 100% effective in eliminating menstrual cramps, it does relieve pain.
Shi Wei's dead ghost master has been dead for many years, and Fan Peilan has been alone in the empty room before he is thirty.
Therefore, after so many years, the yin and yang are not in harmony, and after accumulation, they will recommit this dysmenorrhea.
Although Shi Wei's words were not necessarily all well-intentioned, the truth was correct.
If it was a different girl, Fan Peilan would be nothing, but this kind of "persuasion" came from Shi Wei's mouth, which made her feel strange and embarrassed.
The originally pale face was immediately shy, and Fan Peilan said angrily: "Yuanzhi, what nonsense you say, you will tease your master." ”
Although her words were reprimanding, her tone was not resentful.
It's not so much complaining, it's a bit like being coquettish.
The more shy Shi Niang was, the more interesting Shi Wei felt, but he said seriously: "This yin and yang harmony is the principle of heaven and earth, how could I be teasing Shi Niang." ”
Fan Peilan saw that he looked serious, and said that he was just thinking about his own menstrual cramps, and his shy demeanor eased a little.
At that moment, she sighed again and said sadly: "What you said is not the same as saying in vain, the master is a widow, who are you going to ...... with?"
When the words came out, she felt ashamed again, so she had to swallow back.
Shi Wei suddenly thought, and said: "Shi Niang has been widowed for the master for so many years, and it can be regarded as a woman's way, and now the master is still young, and it is not a way to keep a widow for a lifetime. ”
Such a person who knows how to run a family, is virtuous but full of charm, how can Shi Wei be willing to marry him.
Shi Wei's words were just a temptation.
Fan Peilan heard this, but her expression changed greatly, and she said in a trembling voice: "Yuanzhi, don't you dislike Shiniang for being a burden and want to drive Shiniang out of the house?" ”
Shi Wei hurriedly smiled: "How could it be, if it weren't for the master to preside over this family, how could I do things without worries, in fact, I would like to support the master for the rest of my life, but I can't just think about myself, I also have to think about the master and the mother." ”
Hearing this, Fan Peilan's nervousness eased a little.
She pulled back the hair between her sideburns, lowered her eyebrows and said: "As long as you don't dislike Shiniang, Shiniang is willing to follow you for the rest of your life, take care of this home for you, and serve you, and other Shiniang has no extravagant hope." ”
When Fan Peilan said the word "waiting", she obviously lowered her voice, and the shame on her face became thicker, as if it was difficult to speak.
Obviously, the word "serving" does not only refer to housework, but also has other meanings.
With Shi Wei's insight, how could he not understand the meaning of Fan Peilan's words.
Taking this opportunity, he finally asked Shi Niang's mind, but when should the layer of window paper between the two of them be pierced, I am afraid that I will have to find a suitable time.
"Since the master is like this, it is too late for me to rejoice, the master can rest assured, I will support the master for a lifetime and serve the master for a lifetime."
Shi Wei also replied with the words "fleshy", and the word "waiting" also accentuated the tone, obviously responding to her hints.
Fan Peilan understood, so she didn't say anything more, only lowered her eyebrows and smiled, letting Shi Wei caress her smooth jade feet.
…………………………………… Three days later, a holy decree arrived in Zhongshu, and Shi Wei was officially promoted to the deputy canon of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, becoming the second-in-command of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, as a reward for his treatment of Lady Hua Rui.
As for the original deputy Yu Cheng Dexuan, he was transferred to the Taiyi Bureau to make a judgment.
According to the system of the Great Song Dynasty, the highest medical institution of the Hanlin Medical Hospital, there are three branches under it: the Shang Medicine Bureau, the Imperial Medicine Bureau and the Taiyi Bureau.
Among them, the Shang Pharmacy is the most important branch, and the imperial physician in the interior provides medical services for the emperor and dignitaries.
As for the Imperial Pharmacy, it is in charge of the procurement, storage, and processing of medicines in the palace.
The Shang Pharmacy Bureau prescribes a prescription, and the Imperial Pharmacy dispenses the medicine according to the prescription, and only after trying it can it be offered to the emperor.
The Taiyi Bureau, like Taixue, is equivalent to a medical school specializing in cultivating medical talents, which is only responsible for education and does not undertake any medical tasks.
The position of the judge of the Tai Hospital, like the vice pawn of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, is the second-in-command of the Bureau.
It's just that the hospital is not close to the emperor, does not hold secrets, and has no power at all, so it is also the second-in-command, but the difference between the two is very big.
The Son of Heaven transferred Cheng Dexuan to the Tai Hospital as a judge, which was obviously a kind of secret descent.
Perhaps considering that Cheng Dexuan is the person of the King of Jin, such a secret descent can be regarded as a warning to Zhao Guangyi.
Sure enough, after these personnel transfers, Zhao Guangyi quickly reacted.
The original Zhao Guangyi, since Zhao Pu was deposed, let go of his hands and feet, began to be open-minded and unscrupulous, and even began to have frequent "courtesy exchanges" with the generals of the forbidden army.
But since the attempted killing of Mrs. Hua Rui and the demotion of Cheng Dexuan, Zhao Guangyi seems to have felt the dissatisfaction of the Son of Heaven, and all his words and deeds have been restrained a lot.
Unconsciously, summer goes to autumn.
Good news came one after another, Fan Ruoshui participated in the imperial examination that year, and finally became famous on the list, winning the Jinshi and the first.
Shuzhou is located in the upper reaches of Jinling, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and is an important outpost fortress of the Great Song Dynasty to threaten the Southern Tang Dynasty.
is also from the Southern Tang Dynasty, needless to say, Shi Wei's official fortune is prosperous, and now even Fan Ruoshui is also on the rise, but this series of good things will make Xiong Qingye envious.
So Xiong Qingye begged her sister Xiong Qingdai and begged Shi Wei to help her brother find a half-official position.
Shi Wei thought that Xiong Qingye was also his own person, and helping him find an official position was also considered to establish wings for himself, so he readily agreed.
Shi Wei opened his mouth to Cao Cong again and helped Xiong Qingye get a position in the forbidden army, this former leader of the Southern Tang Fishing Gang, now he has become an officer in the former division of the Great Song Palace.
In the afternoon, Shi Wei was working in the pharmacy, and someone suddenly came to the palace, saying that he was summoned by the Son of Heaven.
Mrs. Flower's arrow wound had already healed at this time, but Zhao Kuangyin was still not at ease, and often summoned Shi Wei to the palace to have a follow-up examination for Mrs. Flower.
Shi Wei heard that the Son of Heaven had summoned him, so he hurriedly brought a medicine box and hurried to the palace for a follow-up visit to Mrs. Hua Rui.
However, this time, Zhao Kuangyin did not let him go to Ruixian Palace, but summoned him to the imperial study.
Entering the hall, Zhao Kuangyin was sitting on the dragon case, burying his head in reviewing the thick stacks of chapters.
Shi Wei straightened his clothes and stepped forward to salute.
Zhao Kuangyin's attention was all focused on the dragon case, and he didn't even raise his head, but only said "flat".
Seeing the situation in front of him, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to be summoned this time, not to let himself give Mrs. Hua Rui a follow-up, Shi Wei couldn't help but secretly speculate about the holy will in his heart.
Standing still for a moment, Zhao Kuangyin put down the imperial pen and stretched his waist for a long time.
The Great Song Emperor stood up, paced in front of the hall, and asked with a smile: "Shi Aiqing, do you know why I summoned you this time?" ”
Shi Wei hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Weichen doesn't know, please show your majesty." ”
"I want you to meet an old friend this time."
"The deceased?"
Shi Wei's face was strange, and he couldn't detect the mystery in Zhao Kuangyin's words for a while.
Zhao Kuangyin doesn't seem to be the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush, and before his appetite has been raised, he immediately revealed his true purpose.
It turned out that the old man in Zhao Kuangyin's mouth was the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty who had just arrived in Bianjing, Xu Xian, an important minister in Li Yuguo.
Hearing Xu Xian's name, Shi Wei's heart was really a little shocked.
The past events of the Southern Tang Dynasty instantly appeared in front of me, and the grievances and grievances between the father and son of the Xu family and themselves are still vividly vivid.
How could Shi Wei forget this enemy who almost killed him.
It's just that Shi Wei didn't understand, why did Zhao Kuangyin order himself to see that Xu Xian?
Zhao Kuangyin also saw Shi Wei's suspicions, so he said calmly: "I know that you are being persecuted in the Southern Tang Dynasty and are not used, so I ordered you to see that Xu Xian this time, just to let the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty know the heart of Corporal Zhen Lixian." ”
With such an explanation, Shi Wei understood Zhao Kuangyin's intentions.
He immediately accepted the order, but asked again: "Your Majesty has a holy order, and the minister should receive the order, but when the minister sees that Xu Xian, what should he say?" ”
Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon couch, and his heroic expression burst out with a bit of murderous intent.
He said coldly: "You ask that Xu Xian to tell Li Yu, just say that this is the last chance I gave him, if he doesn't come to Bianjing to see him before this year, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." ”
This is Zhao Kuangyin's ultimatum to Li Yu, and the deterrence in his words only made Shi Wei feel a little chilly.
Shi Wei's blood, because of Zhao Kuangyin's words, suddenly boiled.
The Great Song Dynasty waved its army southward and finally approached, and it was time to report the old hatred.
Thinking of this, Shi Weiyan couldn't help but be excited.
At that moment, Shi Wei received the holy order, took the edict of the Son of Heaven, and drove in the palace to the pavilion where the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty lived.
As an envoy of the Fan Kingdom, Xu Xian came with several times the previous tribute, but since he came to Bianjing, he has not been summoned by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
Xu Xian, who was uneasy in his heart, was in a hurry to visit the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and wanted to inquire about the holy will of the Son of Heaven.
Just when Xu Xian became more and more anxious, he suddenly heard that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had sent someone to come, so he was naturally surprised and delighted, and hurriedly took a group of members of the embassy out of the door of the pavilion to greet him.
The car slowly stopped, and Xu Xian stood with a bow, not daring to look up.
Shi Wei got down from the carriage, and when he saw Xu Xian, who was standing with his head bowed and extremely respectful, he was really full of emotion in his heart.
He stepped forward and sneered, "Lord Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Xu Xian felt that the voice was familiar, and when he raised his head and recognized who the person in front of him was, an old face instantly turned as white as paper.
