So I thought that the third prince had also reached the age of marriage, and he was also the orthodox royal family, and he should also take on the responsibility of inheriting the heirs. What's more, Tianze Kingdom has long intended to marry, and now Princess Miina is willing to use the gold mine of her fief as a dowry, isn't this killing two birds with one stone? ”

After a pause, Su Jinyao said again: "What's more, Princess Miina's dowry is not small, which is enough to see her sincerity to the Cloud Dome Kingdom." Does grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi) just be old this month and pull a red thread for them? ”

Gu Xuebin also hurriedly said: "Imperial grandmother, Che'er Ming said it." This time, my father had to give me a side concubine, also because the queen mother's desire to marry the third prince (qíng) was disturbed by me. Now I accompany the third prince and a daughter-in-law, and half a gold mine as a dowry, so that the queen mother can dissipate her anger. also begged the emperor's grandmother to let her father take back her fate, and Che'er did not accept the concubine. ”

Gu Xuebin wanted to deliberately sue the queen, and he also asked (xìng) to make his words clear, hoping that the queen mother was still on his side.

What's more, Su Jinyao represents the Gu family, and before Su Jinyao entered the door, the queen instigated the emperor to give Gu Xuebin a concubine, and she didn't believe that the queen mother didn't respond in her heart.

Sure enough, this dose of fierce medicine made the queen mother frown, and then put away the marriage book, and said, "Che'er, go back, I'll go to the emperor to explain this matter." The crown princess and the crown prince are in a hurry to accept the side concubine before they get married, which is indeed not in accordance with the rules. Even if it is a concubine, it is only after the wedding that the crown princess has nothing to do for three years before she can take matters into account (qíng). ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao both breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the power of this half of the gold mine should not be underestimated.

Gu Xuebin was about to leave, but Su Jinyao quietly hooked his palm with her fingers and squeezed her eyes at him.

Gu Xuebin was slightly stunned, and then he came to his senses and said to the Queen Mother: "Imperial grandmother, this matter (qíng) should be sooner rather than later." If Princess Namiina had changed her mind again, it would have been difficult. I think it is not possible to give a decree to marry as soon as possible? ”

Crazy (qíng) man

Why didn't the Queen Mother understand what Gu Xuebin meant? She smiled slightly and said, "Che'er, you can go back." The matter of your concubine (qíng), the imperial grandmother will help you go and tell the emperor. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and pulled Gu Xuebin to leave.

But just after walking a few steps, Su Jinyao suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), is the emperor's (shēn) son better?" ”

"Okay, Miss Jinyao has a heart." The Empress Dowager nodded again and again and said, "The emperor's son (shēn) is indeed better, at least he sleeps more peacefully than before." ”

"That's good. And the queen said that she wanted to see me for a diagnosis, and I was always at my disposal. We quit. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she left with Gu Xuebin.

In fact, Su Jinyao deliberately mentioned the matter of curing the disease (qíng), which was also a reminder to the emperor and the queen. At least she is still a disciple of the divine doctor, and they (shēn) still rely on her for their illness.

Even if it's not a threat, it's a bargaining chip. She, the crown princess, can't sit firmly just by relying on her face.

Out of Yining Palace, Gu Xuebin breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, this heart is finally settled." I don't want to go back to the Prince's Mansion immediately, where Jinyao wants to go, I'll accompany you. ”

Su Jinyao said: "I'm going to pick up Lin Xiuxiu and Xiuqing's sisters and brothers in the prince's courtyard, find a good husband for them, and start teaching them the day after tomorrow." ”

Gu Xuebin asked, "You found the right gentleman so quickly?" I know all the famous gentlemen in the capital, but I don't know which one you are looking for? ”

"Mr. Pan, Feng Shusheng found it for me." Su Jinyao said approvingly: "I also saw this Mr. Pan in the morning, he talks well and has a good bearing. ”

Gu Xuebin's eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Pan?" But is it called Pan Yunrui? ”

"I didn't ask about that." Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "Mr. Pan is in his thirties, (shēn) is tall, elegant in temperament, and not very handsome, but he gives people a sense of peace and warmth at first sight. And then there'...... He should be unmarried, or have been separated from his wife for a long time. ”

"Can you still see this?" Gu Xuebin was surprised when he heard Su Jinyao's last words.

Su Jinyao nodded and said: "After a man gets married, he will be more or less impure, and his eyelids and Yintang can show it. This is why it is said that the unmarried man of the 童子 (shēn) is a pure yang body. And if you haven't been with your wife for a long time, you can also make up for the yang energy, and you can see it in your complexion. ”

After Gu Xuebin heard this, he immediately leaned his head over, and dangled in front of Su Jinyao's eyes and said, "Jinyao, do you see if my yang energy is particularly pure?" ”

Su Jinyao pushed Gu Xuebin's head away and said, "Cut, I know." To get down to business, is this Mr. Pan talking to you about a person? ”

"It should be." Gu Xuebin also thought about it and said, "This Mr. Pan Yunrui is very remarkable. Legend has it that he was bitter (shēn), but he was very intelligent and very studious. When he was young, his family was poor, and he knew that he would go to the school to work as a helper, and he would listen to reading and reading from the window. At the age of twelve, he took the township boy's exam, and at the age of fourteen, he took the county's (chūn) exam, becoming the youngest talent in the county. It's just that after he married his wife at the age of seventeen, his wife died in childbirth at the age of eighteen and his children. Since then, he has never sought fame, but only devoted himself to farming in the countryside, and has never continued to play. Until Feng Shusheng and he had

On the one hand, he was willing to go to Feng's house to teach Feng Shusheng to read and learn calligraphy, and became his enlightenment teacher. ”

"Oh? And such a legend? Su Jinyao couldn't help but praise it even more, it seems that this Mr. Pan is indeed not simple.

is not only his young intelligence, but also because of his lifelong infatuation.

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "I just don't know why Feng Shusheng has always been stubborn, so why did he please him." The two are more than ten years apart, but they seem to have become friends for the years. Since then, Mr. Pan has settled down at the Feng family. On the surface, he is a teacher, but in fact, he does not teach other students in the Feng family's academy, but is just idle. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes, I heard Feng Shusheng say the same." In this way, I would like to thank Feng Shusheng for finding me such a good teacher. ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the gate of the palace. Mingjuan was already waiting here. Mingjuan (shēn) was followed by a carriage from the Prince's Mansion.

Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao got into the carriage of the prince's mansion directly, and Mingjuan got into the original carriage and walked out of the city together.

Do the math, since Su Jinyao came here the day before the Chinese New Year, she has kept Xiuning and them here without care. Now Su Jinyao felt a little worried in her heart.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the prince's courtyard, the family outside the door saw the prince's carriage coming from a distance and ran in to report it.

When the carriage stopped at the door, the housekeeper had already come out to greet the people in the other courtyard with "huhula". There was a large kneeling under the carriage, but it was extremely swaggering.

Even Mingjuan, who was considered to have seen the world in the Gu family, was a little surprised when she saw it. After all, this is just a separate courtyard, and it is not the real prince's mansion, how can there be such a big battle.

Gu Xuebin had long been used to it, and after sending these people away, he pulled Su Jinyao into the door.

After coming in, I saw Xiuning and Dongzi standing next to the stone screen at the door, looking this way.

As soon as Xiuning saw Su Jinyao coming, she immediately greeted her and said, "Master, are you here?" Just now, the housekeepers in the house were all out to greet us, and we didn't know if the master had arrived, so we didn't go together to greet them. ”

"No, you don't have to do that three bows and nine knocks." Su Jinyao shook her head, indicating that she didn't care about this.

Xiuning, Dongzi, Xiuxiu, and Xiuqing hurriedly greeted Gu Xuebin again, after all, this is the current prince (diàn), and he doesn't dare to slack off in the number of etiquette.

Gu Xuebin said, "Jin Yao, go talk to them." I went to the front room and sat down and asked them to prepare lunch. ”

Su Jinyao knew that Gu Xuebin was afraid that Xiuning would be restrained towards the prince, so she nodded and smiled at Gu Xuebin with thanks.

Su Jinyao introduced Mingjuan to them again, and then followed them to the backyard. He also asked them how they were doing these days.

Xiuning and Dongzi are nothing, anyway, they don't have the same (rì) son who doesn't have a master.

However, Xiuxiu and Xiuqing, the two sisters and brothers, behaved more closely to Su Jinyao, and it is estimated that these Xiuning did not talk less about Su Jinyao's glorious deeds.

Su Jinyao said, "Xiuxiu, Xiuqing, you pack up your things and come with me." I've got you guys a good gentleman. ”

Xiuxiu showed joy and nodded in agreement.

But Lin Xiuqing looked at his sister, but suddenly shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving." ”

Accept Lin Xiuqing as a disciple

Lin Xiuqing has always listened to Xiuxiu's words, and even followed Xiuxiu every step of the way. Now it is quite strange to say that he refuses to go.

Lin Xiuxiu also looked surprised, turned her head to look at her younger brother, and asked, "Xiuqing, my sister is going to take you to study with my husband, why don't you leave?" ”

"Stay." Lin Xiuqing's eyes turned, and he was no longer as godless as before. He looked at his sister very seriously, and said slowly, "Stay and read." ”

"However, my sister can't stay with you." Lin Xiuxiu still couldn't believe that her younger brother wanted to stay in order to read. He asked, "Are you willing to let your sister go by herself?" ”

Lin Xiuqing shook her head, reached out and grabbed the corner of her sister's clothes again. This kind of Lin Xiuqing is like the idiot before.

Su Jinyao looked at this (qíng) scene, and thought about Xiuqing's clear eyes before, so she walked over and squatted down (shēn), faced Lin Xiuqing and asked, "Xiuqing, what book do you want to stay and read?" ”

When Lin Xiuqing heard Su Jinyao's question, she just rolled her eyes and looked at her, but did not answer.

Su Jinyao had no choice but to say again: "Maybe I can talk to the master here, lend you the book you want to read and take it away and read it slowly, so are you willing to follow your sister together?" ”

"Yes." Lin Xiuqing's eyes finally lit up again. It seems that he doesn't understand what he says, it's not that he doesn't want to answer, maybe he just doesn't know how to express it.

Su Jinyao stood up (shēn) and asked Xiuxiu, "What books has he been reading lately?" ”

"I don't know." Lin Xiuxiu took her younger brother's hand a little crampedly, and said, "Xiuqing has been accompanied to the study by someone these days. I talk to Sister Xiuning a little more. ”

Speaking of this, Xiuxiu was a little nervous and said, "It's not that I don't want to accompany Xiuqing, it's because this is a ...... after all It is the Prince's Annex. The prince only promised to let Xiuqing read the book, and it was not good for me to follow the decision without permission. ”

Su Jinyao remembered that Gu Xuebin promised to let Lin Xiuqing read the book at that time, but he said that the books in the library were all rare books, and they couldn't be taken out to read casually. I'm going to look at it there and put it back in my place.

It is estimated that Lin Xiuxiu thought too much, because Gu Xuebin didn't say that she could also go, so she didn't dare to follow.

Su Jinyao sighed, patted Lin Xiuxiu's shoulder, and said, "You, you don't think about it a lot. In fact, if you want to be a gentleman, you must first learn to correct your attitude. You have to think about how you can teach your students to be principled, neither humble nor arrogant. Instead of looking at other people's power and wealth to curry favor with him. ”

Lin Xiuxiu lowered her head when Su Jinyao said, and was speechless for a long time.

Su Jinyao said: "Maybe my words are too heavy, but you really lack self-confidence, so it's not okay." Look at your brother Xiuqing, although he is not good at expressing himself, he knows very well what he wants. In fact, he was right. ”

Lin Xiuxiu nodded and said, "I know." I'll study hard. ”

Su Jinyao understands the state of mind of a little girl who is lonely and has a younger brother to take care of, maybe her inferiority complex is also an instinct for survival.

Talking too much now, it is easier to hit her young heart, so I won't say any more, I just hope that Mr. Pan can teach Lin Xiuxiu well in the future.

Su Jinyao put her mind on Lin Xiuqing's (shēn) again, and asked, "Xiuqing, you haven't told me yet, what book do you want to read?" this

No matter how many books there are, no matter how good they are, there will always be a day when they will be finished. After you told me, I can help you keep an eye on this book, and I can buy it for you later. In this way, you can read more and more books, right? ”

After Lin Xiuqing listened, he looked at Su Jinyao again, this time his eyes were even clearer, and he didn't look away for a long time.

Su Jinyao also waited patiently, and she must not be anxious to treat an idiot.

After another moment, Lin Xiuqing's eyes revealed trust. He slowly let go of the hand holding the corner of his sister's clothes and stretched out towards Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao looked down at Lin Xiuqing's thin and small hand, smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and shook it with his.

Su Jinyao's hand is not big, in fact, it is only a little bigger than Lin Xiuqing's hand. But Su Jinyao's hands are warm (rè) and relatively powerful.

Lin Xiuqing's hand was shaken by Su Jinyao, his eyes were dilated for a moment again, and the focus of his gaze turned for a long time before he refocused on Su Jinyao.

Then, Lin Xiuqing actually smiled. The child's innocent smile made his face even clearer and cleaner.

Su Jinyao took a deep breath, and she was also full of excitement about this smile. She knew that she had won the trust of this little brother.

Su Jinyao asked again: "Then tell my sister, what book do you want to read?" ”

"Medical books, medicinal herb books." Lin Xiuqing replied slowly.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and a few lines flashed in her mind, as if she had caught something. Then, she confirmed to Lin Xiuqing again: "Are you sure you like to read medical books?" ”

"Yes." Lin Xiuqing looked at Su Jinyao with pure eyes and nodded seriously.

Then, before Su Jinyao could continue to say anything, he suddenly memorized a prescription.

This is not a prescription for incurable diseases, but a small prescription for colds and flu. It is generally recorded in medical books.

It's just that Su Jinyao was stunned when she heard it, because Lin Xiuqing made a little adjustment to this prescription and added a taste of licorice.

Although this is a minor change, it is not related to the change of medicine (xìng). However, licorice can moisten the throat and suppress cough, and generally cold and flu will cause sore throat, and drinking medicine with licorice can indeed be more comfortable.

Of course, when the doctor prescribes medicine, he does not write it according to the prescription in the medical book. It will also be increased or decreased according to the patient's condition.

But Lin Xiuqing is neither a doctor, nor even an apprentice in a pharmacy, so he can change the prescription on his own!

I have to say that Lin Xiuqing is very talented, he is really not just an idiot.

Lin Xiuxiu saw that Su Jinyao's table (qíng) (yīn) was uncertain, and quickly pulled Lin Xiuqing to her (shēn) side and said, "Xiuqing, what are you talking about?" Don't talk nonsense, let's go with my sister. ”

Su Jinyao listened to Xiuxiu's words, then let go of her thoughts just now, reached out and pressed Lin Xiuxiu's hand, signaling her not to speak yet.

Su Jinyao pulled Lin Xiuqing in front of her (shēn) again, squatted down (shēn) and asked, "Xiuqing, if I say that I am a very powerful healer, and I intend to take you as an apprentice, are you willing?" ”

"Crown Princess......" Lin Xiuxiu was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

Su Jinyao waved her hand at her and asked seriously, "Xiuqing, you can understand my words, right?" Would you like to learn medicine from me? ”

The first official disciple

Su Jinyao's expression (qíng) and attitude are extremely serious, and her eyes when she looks at Lin Xiuqing are also firm and trusting.

At this time, in her eyes, Lin Xiuqing is not an idiot, but a young boy with thoughts and potential.

Lin Xiuqing's gaze met Su Jinyao's gaze, and she was dazed for a moment, and then became firm. It can be seen that Lin Xiuqing is thinking seriously.

It's a good thing to be able to use your brain. So Su Jinyao was not in a hurry to know the answer, but squatted there patiently, waiting for Lin Xiuqing to give her an answer.

After another while, Lin Xiuxiu was a little out of breath, and she could hear her suppressed breathing. But because of Su Jinyao's signal, she didn't dare to speak rashly.

Finally, Lin Xiuqing's eyes looked at Su Jinyao clearly and clearly, and nodded slowly, but solemnly.

"Xiuqing?" Lin Xiuxiu couldn't help it again, and called her brother, but she froze there again, not knowing what to say.

While Su Jinyao stood up, she also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay." This is his decision, and I can understand Xiuqing's determination and seriousness. ”
