Chapter 149: Lan Beichen's Congenital Disease
I thought that Xia Yanxiu would continue to ask her for money, but I didn't expect that after only two days, she became jubilant and swept away.
Even when Zhao saw Xia Jinse, he had a proud look of love to answer, and his words were harsh, and he didn't take the millions of taels of debts to heart at all.
It was Xia Mengyao, who didn't know where to get the silver, so she threw it directly in front of Xia Jinse, and said in a weird manner: "Big sister, you can see clearly, this is more than 30,000 taels that I owe you and the Ninth Prince, it's not bad at all, you count it clearly!" β
Xia Jinse saw that it was indeed 36,000 taels of silver tickets.
"Not bad! Since the third sister has repaid the money, I will give you the IOU, and the two will not owe each other from now on. She smiled faintly, asked Chaiyun to put away the silver ticket, and found the IOU to return it to her.
Xia Mengyao grabbed the IOU and tore it up, as if she had just eliminated the big trouble in her heart, and snorted coldly at Xia Jinse, and then turned around and walked out of Begonia Garden.
Mu Xiang just came in with a pot of golden chrysanthemums waiting to be released, and said strangely: "Why is the third lady like this?" β
When she knew that she had repaid the money, she was very surprised: "The Prime Minister has no money, where will the third lady raise the money?" β
This is also where Xia Jinse is puzzled, not only Xia Mengyao returned the money, but even Xia Yanxiu and the Zhao family also swept away their sadness and no longer shouted poverty. It's as if they've found a mountain of gold that can be inexhaustible.
"Could it be that the one million given to the eldest prince has been completed, and a new way to make money has been discovered?" Xia Jinse thinks about everything.
Chaiyun said that she had been staring at Zhao's side secretly for the past two days, and she didn't find anything, Xia Ruxue and Xia Mengyao were also at home in a proper manner and didn't go out.
"As for the master's side, I don't know, after all, the master has to go to court every day, and the slave and maid can't keep an eye on it."
With doubts, Xia Jinse went to Lan Beichen and told him about it, especially about Lan Jingcheng's request for marriage.
"The emperor has already agreed, I want to be happy to come to Xia Xiang, right?" Lan Beichen smiled faintly.
Xia Jinse pouted and said, "It's not just joy, it's just joy!" After all, letting Xia Ruxue marry the eldest prince is something he has been working hard for, and now that he has finally succeeded, how can he not be happy? By the way, I also covered up the ugly thing of unmarried pregnancy! β
"There are some things that can be done without trying to hide them."
Lan Beichen seemed to know something, and said with a slight smile: "It's just an engagement, not a marriage, and when the time comes, it will be revealed that Miss Xia Xianger has a big belly, and it will still be a scandal when it spreads." Do you think it's possible for the eldest prince to marry her? β
Xia Jinse was surprised: "How can you not marry?" This is Lan Jingcheng's own sin! β
"And there is no evidence, who knows?"
Xia Jinse thought deeply, as if he understood something: "Are you saying that Lan Jingcheng is just using Xia Yanxiu and Xia Ruxue, and he actually won't marry Xia Ruxue?" β
Lan Beichen's eyes were deep, and he said meaningfully: "Lan Jingcheng is a suspicious person, and he pays special attention to etiquette and dogma, such as the succession of the eldest son. Therefore, he is determined to win the position of the crown prince, and will do whatever it takes to do so. But this is only for what is beneficial to him, and it is impossible to let him himself act according to this standard! β
Xia Jinse sneered: "Isn't this a proper double standard?" Shameless! β
"Double standard?" Lan Beichen looked at Xia Jinse suspiciously.
"Oh, that's the meaning of double standards, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps." Xia Jinse playfully explained, secretly sticking out his tongue.
If you accidentally talk quickly, you will miss it again, it seems that you should pay attention in the future, don't come up with something that shouldn't be said.
However, Xia Jinse didn't expect that Lan Jingcheng would be so bold that Xia Ruxue was pregnant but still didn't marry her. Come to think of it, after all, Lan Jingcheng is so scheming, so he naturally doesn't like the many scheming women around him.
What he needs is a capable but obedient woman who is obedient to him, and who can take care of the backyard affairs for him. If Xia Ruxue is like this, he is still worried about the green oil on his head in the future!
I'm afraid that if Xia Yanxiu knows Lan Jingcheng's thoughts, he will definitely regret not doing it at the beginning, right?
After all, his dream of being a ruler was shattered.
"By the way, I heard that the eldest prince wants to help the emperor share his worries and deal with the land rent. Isn't this even helpless for you, why did the eldest prince come up with a way? Xia Jinse asked about it again.
"The eldest prince has this mind, but he doesn't necessarily have this ability."
Lan Beichen didn't care, as if he had expected it a long time ago: "If you want to say that I can fly, I will also say it, but do you think I can really go to the sky?" β
Xia Jinse snorted and laughed, but blinked seriously: "But you really know how to fly!" Light power is so good, it's not almost the same as flying! β
Anyway, she just thinks that Lan Beichen is powerful, and even he can't do it, let alone Lan Jingcheng and the others!
It was easy to talk to Xia Jinse, but Lan Beichen still knew it in his heart.
These days, Lan Jingcheng's movements have fallen on his eyes, including who he met in private, dined and talked with a group of squires and businessmen, and secretly befriended ministers, and he sent people to keep an eye on them. Although he didn't know what Lan Jingcheng's plans were for the time being, he was expected to have a lot of plans.
Especially when Lan Jingcheng said that he could solve the problem of land taxation, he was even more interested in it.
There are countless such things in the past dynasties, and they look high-sounding on the surface, but they are dirty and dark behind the scenes, and he has seen too much.
Now that Lan Beichen knows it, Xia Jinse is not worried.
"By the way, aren't you in bad health? I'll check you for a check? β
Lan Beichen stopped talking for a while, and paused before saying, "It's nothing for the time being, I'll talk about it later." β
Xia Jinse stared at him and felt that something was wrong.
She didn't mention it before, at first because the two didn't know each other very well, and since he didn't want her to say more. Later, the two intersected a lot, and they also made a marriage contract and became an unmarried couple, but either Lan Beichen was not available, or she had something to do, and she always had no chance.
But now that she took the initiative to mention it, why did he refuse?
"Lan Beichen, you have something to hide from me, don't you?" Xia Jinse's face sank.
"What's the matter, you think too much, it's just that I've been busy with autumn affairs recently, and I don't have much time to spare."
Nan Nan Nanchen looked very relaxed: "I didn't tell you something, but this."
It's government affairs, and it has nothing to do with you. Now there are a lot of things, if you check on me, is it cured or not? Can it be treated, how, and when? β
Xia Jinse frowned, and felt that what he said made some sense.
Also, if it can't be cured for the time being, she will be more worried if she sees it in vain. It's better to wait for him to be free and talk about it.
"Okay, I'm fine now, if you're free, you must tell me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Jinse remembered something again: "By the way, the first time I met you, weren't you looking for something on Qingyang Mountain?" What exactly are you looking for? β
Lan Beichen didn't hide this: "Find a century-old blood ginseng, which is used for curing diseases." β
She suddenly said: "It turns out that you need this kind of medicinal material to cure your disease?" Did you find it? What else is needed? Tell me, if I find out by chance, I can buy it! β
Lan Beichen smiled, and quickly reported the names of more than ten kinds of medicinal materials, all of which were rare and precious, and the age of the medicine was fifty years old, and a hundred years abounded, no wonder he couldn't get them together after looking for so long.
"This prescription is for my hidden danger, and it comes from a hermit." Saying that, Lan Beichen simply wrote out all the prescriptions, obviously by heart, he said: "As long as I collect all the medicines and refine them according to the prescriptions, my hidden danger will be solved." β
Can it still be so magical? A prescription can cure Lan Beichen's congenital heart disease?
Even if it was Xia Jinse, he only knew how to treat Lan Beichen through a precise heart exchange operation, but now he was really surprised to hear him say that he could be cured with a prescription.
Looking at this prescription carefully, there are a total of twenty-three medicinal materials, each of which has a weight, but it is not written how to refine the medicine. Xia Jinse couldn't help but wonder, is this recipe useful?
"It must be useful, rest assured."
Lan Beichen didn't know where the confidence came from, and he said firmly: "I have seen this hermit strange man, and I have seen him save a dead person, and he has also saved a sick person who is more serious than me. Since this recipe was prescribed by him, there must be some truth to it. β
Since Lan Beichen believed it so much, Xia Jinse couldn't say anything.
After all, she has also heard of the miracle of traditional Chinese medicine, thousands of years ago, Hua Tuo was able to perform cranial surgery, but in the past and modern times, this is still a very uncertain and high-risk major surgery, which can be seen.
"Then where is this master, and how will you find him in the future?" Xia Jinse asked again, she was particularly worried about Lan Beichen's condition.
"The master is naturally traveling, and when I collect all the medicines, he will naturally appear."
Hearing what he said so mysteriously, Xia Jinse didn't ask again.
Anyway, Lan Beichen just has a plan in his heart, as for her, he will definitely stay by his side and not let him have an accident.
β¦β¦
The decree of the marriage was delivered to the Prime Minister on the third day after Cheyenne Shu notified the whole family.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, summoning and saying, Xia Ruxue, the second lady of the Xia family, is elegant and generous, and the eldest prince is a match made in heaven, and it is a good match. I will marry Xia Ruxue to the eldest prince Lan Jingcheng, and the marriage will be completed on an auspicious day......"
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion received the order and knelt down
In the courtyard, Xia Ruxue's face flushed with joy, and she said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, thank you for the emperor's grace, and the courtiers will thank you for receiving the order." β
This time, it was not Gonggong Lu who announced the decree, but other eunuchs around Emperor Yuanqing.
After reading the holy decree, Xia Yanxiu took out the silver ticket that had been prepared a long time ago, secretly stuffed it to the eunuch, and greeted the eunuch politely, and after sending away the people from the palace, the entire prime minister's mansion became lively.
Looking at the content written on the holy decree, Xia Ruxue's heart was finally completely let go, and her marriage with the eldest prince was already certain.
What needs to be solved now is to choose a good day as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible, otherwise her belly will grow bigger after a long time, and it will still be inappropriate to spread it.
"Hahahaha, Ruxue, from now on you will be the fiancΓ©e of the eldest prince!" Xia Yanxiu laughed, his face red with joy.
"Not really! Master, since the concubine was a child, she has been like snow and dignified, and she has the life of a nobleman, but she can't imagine that it is still the life of a phoenix...... Ruxue, the family will depend on you in the future, even if you become a queen, you can't forget your father and mother. Zhao said excitedly.
Xia Ruxue was smiling, and before she could speak, Xia Jinse reminded: "It's better for mother not to say this kind of thing too early, the second sister has not yet married the eldest prince, and even if she becomes a parent, she is not a queen." If the mother's words reach the ears of the queen, will she feel that the mother is cursing the queen to death? β
"You don't talk nonsense, how can I curse the queen?!"
Zhao saw that the good happy event was said by Xia Jinse, and it turned out to be a murderous thing, and she was immediately unhappy: "Xia Jinse, what kind of heart do you have?" Your sister is going to be the princess, I can't be happy as a mother? You're talking badly!? β
"It's not bad luck, it's to remind my mother not to let trouble come out of her mouth." Xia Jinse said lightly.
"You...... Hmph, you are obviously jealous of Ruxue becoming the princess, and it will climb on your head in the future. β
"Who knows, what hasn't been done yet?"
