Chapter 34: Friend or Foe

After Jiang Wenyue burned the letter, he squinted to see the envelope burned into gray dust in the firelight and fall on the table.

Chu Shancheng is his eldest brother, and he has helped him block a lot of swords and swords since he was a child, which is kind to him.

But how can they, the princes, have time to calculate their favors.

It's just a measure of the value of each piece.

Chu Shancheng has already entered the slave register, and it is difficult to turn over.

And Chu Shimao is about to come out and be the first assistant of the cabinet again.

Between the two, the pros and cons are distinct.

From the moment Chu Shimao threw himself into the name of his third prince, Chu Shimao made a request to use Chu Shancheng's trust in him to defeat Chu Shancheng and the Gu family behind him.

This was the only thought from the moment Chu Shimao was beheaded by the whole family, although it was decades late.

But he never forget.

Jiang Wenyue sat slumped in the chair, touching the stubble that had just grown on his chin, his eyes narrowed, and there was a cold breath all over his body.

For him as a prince, it is best to have both the support of civil officials and the maintenance of military generals.

But if he can't have both, he will have to wait and see which side is heavier for a while.

Jiang Wenyue's eyes were closed, and he still picked up, and sat down on the chair and pretended to sleep.

snapped his fingers and called the guard in.

"You go and tell Chu Shimao, I know, let him get out of prison first, let me see his hidden power."

The guard bowed his hand respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Exited the house of the three princes, got on the horse, and went straight to Dali Temple.

。。。。。。

In the past two days, Mama Liu of the Jiangnan Education Department received a letter from Dong Xiaowan's mother.

Main contents:

Xiao Wan:

My condition has improved, and I don't need to worry about it, and I don't need to continue to work in the workshop to raise money for me.

It was really helpless for you to join the Teaching Workshop Division at that time, and now that I have recovered from a serious illness, I am very worried about you, and I don't want you to continue to live in a place like the Teaching Workshop Division.

I have been introduced by a neighbor to a talented man who was sponsored by your father, and is so talented that he will be able to rise in the future.

I hope you will go home as soon as possible to discuss marriage with me, marry and teach children in the future, and live the life of an ordinary woman.

I couldn't stop you from being sick before, this time you must come back quickly, listen to your mother, peace and security is a blessing.

。。。。。。

Mama Liu was glad that she had opened it in advance and looked at it. Now that the Oiran election is coming soon, only Dong Xiaowan is the only one in their teaching department who can handle it.

If Dong Xiaowan really listened to her mother's words and went home, the rest of the people would definitely lose if they went to participate in the Oiran election.

Although she didn't see it properly when she opened the letter in advance, she was able to leave time to think about how to deal with it.

After hesitating for a few days, she should not send it to Dong Xiaowan in the capital, and if she sent it, she would face the risk that Dong Xiaowan would no longer perform arts, and the cost would be too high.

That night, Mama Liu received an urgent letter from Prince Qi from the capital.

Their Jiangnan Sect Division belongs to the official family. And most of these royal industries are now in the hands of Prince Qi, and it can be said that Prince Qi is the real master behind this Jiangnan Sect Division.

Prince Qi generally talked about what happened to Dong Xiaowan in the capital, mainly to praise her for Mama Liu's good eyes and the treasure of Dong Xiaowan.

even told Mama Liu that she must leave Dong Xiaowan in the Jiangnan Teaching Division, and don't let her go.

This letter made up Mama Liu's determination, and she couldn't let Dong Xiaowan listen to her mother's letter and go home before the Oiran election.

Even if she uses means to delay, she will drag it for another time.

Mama Liu clasped the table with her fingers, and pressed her other arm against the table, supporting her head.

After thinking about it for a while, I had an idea, and called in two small guys.

"Jinzi, you go to Dong Xiaowan's mother's place, and say that she is stubborn about participating in the Oiran election, and if she wants to go home, she will do it later."

"You don't care about her mother's objections, just give her some money and come back directly,"

Then he turned his head to another little guy and said, "Yinzi, you go to find a gentleman who can write letters and send a letter to Mama Huang in the capital, and ask her to tell Dong Xiaowan that her mother's illness has been relieved, and the letter will make her feel at ease in the capital."

waved his hand, signaling that the two of them could do it.

Mama Liu persuaded herself with a weak heart, and it was not a complete lie.

She didn't hide the fact that Dong Xiaowan's mother's condition had improved, which was already the limit. If she told Dong Xiaowan the truth about the letter, she would definitely follow her mother home.

There are so many women here, how can they be willing, but they are all desperate to come here to make a living.

If she wants to let Dong Xiaowan go, she has to choose the Oiran anyway, otherwise she won't be able to return the money she threw on Dong Xiaowan.

She is a dusty woman, since she has entered her Jiangnan Teaching Division, don't think about making a handful of money and leaving so simply.

。。。。。。

Dong Xiaowan has been staying by Chu Shancheng's side to take care of him, Chu Shancheng's high fever does not go away, Dong Xiaowan is really worried, and the Feng family has no other maids, so they are handed over to those big bosses, and even Dong Xiaowan, who has a big heart, can't let go.

took the Chinese medicine jar handed over by the little servant and boiled it directly in the yard.

There was no rest all night.

is not watching the Chinese medicine add firewood, or changing the handkerchief on Chu Shancheng's head, going back and forth inside and outside the house.

Until it was almost dawn, the Chinese medicine was boiled, Dong Xiaowan fed it into Chu Shancheng's mouth spoonful by spoonful, watching him frown and not swallow, so he had to help him raise his head and let the Chinese medicine flow naturally.

A bowl of traditional Chinese medicine made Dong Xiaowan pour it all out.

Dong Xiaowan took down the handkerchief, put one hand on his forehead, and put the other hand on Chu Shancheng's forehead to test the temperature.

Well, the high fever has subsided a lot, and I no longer muttered to myself, "Mother... Something like that.

Dong Xiaowan sighed, finally relieved, took her arm and fell asleep beside the bed.

When Chu Shancheng woke up in a blur, he happened to see Dong Xiaowan sitting on the ground, leaning on the side of his bed with his arms resting on his pillows.

Dong Xiaowan is a little cute at this moment, because she had to wear heavy makeup for the performance at yesterday's birthday banquet, but she didn't stop after the performance last night, and she didn't have time to wipe the makeup on her face.

After a night's hard work, Dong Xiaowan was like a flower-faced cat, her face was red and purple, blue and green, like a paint dish mixed together and not evenly mixed.

Chu Shancheng was poured a lot of traditional Chinese medicine yesterday, his mouth was bitter and astringent, and his body was also painful, and he was uncomfortable, and after he woke up, all kinds of soreness and swelling in his body seemed to be awakened, little by little, and it became more and more serious into his head.

I endured it so hard that I didn't hum.

He could see that Dong Xiaowan was probably taking care of himself all night by the side, and he really didn't want to wake her up.

Beside her there was an upside-down bowl of Chinese medicine, and a copper basin with a few clean white handkerchiefs.

These things, his master Seal and Seal Yanzhi would never do, they don't have this patience.
