Chapter 357: Isn't Father Worried About the Six Princes
The next day, Xia Jinse went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Xia Yanxiu, but on the other side, something happened in the Nangu Mansion.
I don't know who leaked the condition of Nan Muqing, the lord of Rongping County, or maybe someone inquired about Nan Jingtian's entry into the palace yesterday to ask for a doctor, and the Lin Mansion sent someone to ask if the county lord of Rongping was unwell, saying that the second son was very worried, and he didn't know what the illness was and whether there was a big problem.
The girl who was waiting for Nan Muqing's answer aroused the suspicion of the people from the Lin Mansion, and when she went back, she reported to the second son of Lin and his wife Hu. The Lin family was worried about Nan Muqing's condition, and they were also concerned about the future daughter-in-law, and Lin Kangnian's wife Hu personally took the girl to visit her.
Coincidentally, I happened to meet Nan Muqing who was unwell, was in a bad mood and lost her temper, and was hit by Hu. didn't go in at the door, but listened to Yang's words to comfort Nan Muqing, only to know that she actually had a woman's disease.
Yang's words were unknown, and Hu mistakenly thought that Nan Muqing did not abide by women's morals, and she contracted this unclean disease because of her bad chastity, and he was angry and wanted to question Yang. Only then did Yang find out that his future in-laws were eavesdropping at the door, but it was too late to complain about the girl.
"Madame misunderstood, it's not like that."
Yang Shi hurriedly pulled Hu Shi to explain, "Mu Qing was not feeling well just now, I was comforting her, but she didn't mess around!" β
Yang stared at Hu Shi, and then looked at Nan Muqing, who was blushing with shame in front of him, and for the first time became disgusted with this future daughter-in-law, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the chaos, the innocent eldest girl would get this disease?" No wonder she has been sick for so long and has not recovered, I heard that the prince has invited many doctors to show her, and even the imperial doctor has come, and it can't be cured! β
"I didn't expect the tutor of the Guogong Mansion to be like this!"
Hu Shiqi's face turned pale, gritted his teeth and said: "Mrs. Shizi, you are too much, our Lin family doesn't want this family business...... After speaking, she turned around and left.
Yang was about to faint when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Hu Shi: "No, misunderstanding, Mrs. Lin!" My Mu Qing is absolutely innocent, she doesn't have that kind of dirty disease, but she is unwell, there are some hidden diseases, you really misunderstood. β
Nan Mu Qingqi's eyes were red, but she was thin-skinned and couldn't say anything, so she was ashamed and angry, covering her face and rushing in.
Hu Shi looked at Yang Shi at this time, and said with a calm face in disbelief: "I heard it with my own ears just now, it is related to the reputation of my Lin family and the Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Shizi, if you can't say it clearly today, don't blame me for going back and telling the lord that I have to withdraw from the marriage." β
Yang pulled Hu into the house, entangled for a long time, and had to say: "Yesterday, Imperial Doctor Liu came, saying that Mu Qing had suffered from the cold before, and if he was not cured, it might be harmful to his future heirs......"
As soon as she said this, she immediately explained: "But Mrs. Lin, don't get me wrong, yesterday not only did Imperial Doctor Liu say that it could be cured, but even the Ninth Princess was there, saying that as long as Mu Qing treats the disease well and takes medicine, this problem can be cured and will not recur." β
"Loss of heirs?" Hu's heart sank when he heard this.
Although her face was a little better, she learned that Nan Muqing did not have a woman's dirty disease, but the problem of heirs was still serious!
is young, just the same age as flowers, and her son is a good match, and she was very satisfied with this marriage. But if Nan Muqing suddenly got this disease, if he was not sure about curing, if he really couldn't have children in the future, would he let his son die?
Even if you can take a concubine, but the main mother does not give birth, there will be problems after all, this is absolutely not good!
"Since it's not a dirty disease, then forget it. However, Miss Nan must be well treated, and before the marriage, otherwise it can only be postponed until she is cured. β
Hu Shi said with a straight face: "Mrs. Shizi, I said ugly things in front, it's not that my Lin Mansion wants to repent of marriage, but that Miss Nan's condition is too serious." If there is no guarantee of recovery, will it harm my son in the future? β
said it so bluntly, he didn't take the face of the Guogong Mansion to heart at all, and the Yang family heard that his face was red and white for a while, but he had to endure it, and promised in a good voice: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, Mu Young Man is in good health, just a little problem, it will definitely be cured." β
"Okay, Mrs. Ben came here today to visit Miss Nan, Miss Nan's illness is due to Mrs. Lao Shizi, I have brought some supplements here, so that Miss Nan can recuperate." After speaking, Hu put down his things and left with the girl.
When they left, Yang went into the back room to comfort his daughter.
Nan Muqing cried like tears, her eyes were swollen, and she shouted that she would withdraw from the marriage if she didn't get married.
Yang took her daughter's hand and comforted her bitterly, so that she couldn't think wildly, as long as she was cured, she would be fine. This symptom is not incurable, Doctor Liu said that it can be cured, as long as you cooperate with the medicine.
After saying a lot, Nan Muqing barely suppressed her crying and nodded with sobs.
Soon, the Yang family sent someone to invite Nan Jingtian again, and asked him to enter the palace and ask Imperial Doctor Liu to come again to prescribe medicine for his daughter. Two hours later, Imperial Physician Liu came again, and was surprised to learn that they had not asked the Ninth Princess to treat Nan Muqing yesterday.
"The Nine Princesses' medical skills are better than the old man's, why did she let the old man come to the end?" Imperial Physician Liu became more and more unable to figure it out, but he only thought that Nan Jingtian was not good at bothering the Ninth Princess, so he had to prescribe a prescription for Nan Muqing.
"The old man's recipe with Guizhi Poria Pills will be eaten by the county lord first to see the effect. If there is improvement, that's good, but if the blood still doesn't drain out, then you have to be careful. β
"Yes, thank you Mrs. Liu." Yang said politely, and quickly asked the girl to grab the medicine and decoction.
Telling the girl to take good care of her daughter, Yang and Nan Jingtian came out of Yuzhi Pavilion, and they looked worried: "Master, what Imperial Doctor Liu meant just now, it seems that he is not sure that he can cure Mu Qing." If it really doesn't work, what should Mu Qing do? β
Nan Jingtian didn't expect this matter to reach the ears of the Lin family, and frowned: "It shouldn't be, Imperial Doctor Liu is a famous gynecological saint in Tai Hospital, since he can prescribe medicine, it means that it is effective." You are staring at Mu Qing taking medicine for a while, don't let her be willful, she will definitely be cured. β
"Yes, sir."
Yang paused, and originally wanted to say whether to invite the ninth princess to check on his daughter, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.
Now that the Nine Princes Lan Beichen is in prison, maybe something will happen to the Jin Palace, and the Nine Princesses themselves are difficult to protect, where is she still in the mood to see her daughter? It's better to count on Imperial Doctor Liu.
Xia Jinse also returned to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.
When I came back in the past, the porter was always respectful and smiling, but this time when I saw Xia Jinse, the porter was obviously stunned, and a look of fear and panic floated on his face, and he even spoke hesitantly: "The king and princess are here to find the master?" β
Chasing Yun couldn't get used to his style, so he opened his mouth and said, "The princess is not looking for the master, is she looking for you?" Don't get out of the way, please let the princess in! β
Only then did the porter react, nodded busily, and stepped aside.
Xia Jinse didn't bother to pay attention to these people's faces, and walked straight in, Wu Qiang, the steward of the outer courtyard, saw that Xia Jinse was back, and suddenly had a feeling that he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and hurriedly went to report to Xia Yanxiu.
In the past few days, Xia Yanxiu has also been upset.
Since Xia Mengyao's engagement with the sixth prince was confirmed, he has become a staunch supporter of Lan Yuqi, and when Lan Yuqi left the capital for Jinling, he also came to see Xia Mengyao and asked him, the future father-in-law, to take good care of his fiancΓ©e. At that time, Xia Yanxiu was full of hope for Lan Yuqi, and when he came back from completing the matter, he was expected to compete for the position of crown prince, and when he united with his own family, things would be promising.
According to Xia Yanxiu's insight and many years of experience as an official, it is basically impossible for the second prince to collect land taxes. The task of selecting the six princes this time is much easier, once there are political achievements and can share worries for the monarch, then they will show their ability, and it will be just around the corner to overwhelm the second prince.
Unexpectedly, not long after Lan Yuqi went to Jinling, something happened.
Not only was the task of building the embankment and dam not completed, but the people below got into trouble with the local villagers, and I heard that several people were killed, provoking all the people of a certain village to unite and sue the local government. Everything is not going well on the side of the sixth prince, seeing that the second prince has returned victorious, although the tax and silver were robbed, it has nothing to do with the second prince!
Knowing that Xia Jinse was coming, Xia Yanxiu's first reaction was to be upset, but in view of Xia Jinse's previous performance, after all, the matter of the Nine Princes had not yet been decided, in case it turned around, he didn't want to offend Lan Beichen, so he could only go out to see her.
"Why are you back?"
Xia Yanxiu looked at Xia Jinse, without the slightest hint of his father's enthusiasm for his daughter, and said lightly: "Everything is fine at home, don't worry about the princess, I'm afraid I'm tired of running around, so I'll have a meal at home at noon, right?" β
obviously felt Xia Yanxiu's alienation, and his usual enthusiasm and jealousy were gone, Xia Jinse didn't come back to eat, and said directly: "Naturally, I have something to find my father when I come back, I heard that something happened to the sixth prince, has my father heard about it?" β
"I don't know if the sixth prince has an accident or not, but the ninth prince heard that he was in prison, and this matter is boiling."
Xia Yanxiu was not happy when he heard it, but when Xia Jinse came back to mock him, he immediately said a word back, and his face sank: "Now that the imperial court is investigating the robbery of the tax silver, the emperor is furious and directly sent the nine princes to prison, Jinse, as the ninth princess, you are only afraid of being implicated, and you must pay more attention to your words and deeds." β
Xia Jinse said lightly: "Lan Beichen is innocent, I believe in him, father don't worry, there will always be a day when the truth will come out." β
Xia Yanxiu immediately said: "It's good to be innocent, just wait for the investigation of the Criminal Department and Jingzhao Mansion." Although his father wants to help, as a left minister, he can't just go to the emperor to intercede, so as not to be criticized. I can't help you because my father's heart is insufficient, Jinse, you can forgive me. β
Unexpectedly, Xia Yanxiu refused directly, as if she was afraid that she would ask for help, Xia Jinse hooked the corners of his lips and said: "Father, don't worry, I came back today, not to talk to my father about Lan Beichen, but about the six princes." β
"The Sixth Prince?" Xia Yanxiu frowned.
Although my father's thoughts were not said, since Meng Yao and the Six Princes got engaged, Zuo Xiangfu has been tied to the Six Princes. Now that the sixth prince has an accident in Jinling, but the second prince has returned victorious, isn't my father worried about the six princes? β
