Chapter 99: The Draft
Chapter 99: The Draft
Jiang Huanting was wearing a goose yellow silk dress with a goose yellow 'color' chrysanthemum 'flower' pattern. There is a five-color gemstone hairpin on her head, and a necklace with five-color gemstones around her neck, and the colorful gems are shining in the sun, making her already iconic face more delicate.
Seeing Jiang Ruonan, she greeted her with a smile on her face, and 'inserted' between Liu Zitong and Jiang Ruonan, so that Liu Zitong had to give up her position.
Jiang Huanting affectionately grabbed Jiang Ruonan's arm and said with a smile: "Cousin, I heard that you repaired Xu Wanqing just now, it's really happy!" ”
Jin Yanran turned her head to look at her and said with a faint smile: "Who did you listen to, I didn't repair her, it was she who was unreasonable and was punished by the queen's mother!" ”
patted the horse's farts on the horse's legs', and the smile on Jiang Huanting's face froze, "I must have heard it wrong......"
Jiang Ruonan smiled and didn't make a sound. made Jiang Huanting even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, at this moment, Jin Yanran suddenly spoke: "Yes, I didn't see you in the afternoon, didn't you go to the Royal 'Flower' Garden?" ”
Jiang Huanting said: "My mother was a little dizzy, and I rested for an afternoon, and I was by my side." ”
Mrs. Liu smiled when she heard this: "It's a filial child!" ”
At this time, some 'women' saw Jiang Ruonan coming, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile. Jiang Ruonan took the opportunity to break free of Jiang Huanting's hand, and she was a little repulsed by this "cousin".
Seeing that Jiang Ruonan was leaving, Jiang Huanting hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and said quickly: "Cousin, when I watch the play at night, I will come to you!" ”
Jiang Ruonan hurriedly said, "Let's talk about it!" "After a while, he was pulled away.
Jiang Huanting looked at Jiang Ruonan's back, and a strange feeling surged in her heart, her cousin seemed to be different from before! She wouldn't have been so cold to herself before, why? Is it because I haven't been in contact for so long? No, I still have to help my cousin with that matter, and it seems that I will have to get closer to her in the future!
When he turned around, he saw Jin Yanran and Liu Zitong muttering on the side, so he walked over. After greeting each other, the three girls began to chat.
Jiang Huanting asked them: "Will you participate in this year's draft?" ”
Liu Zitong replied: "Of course, the 'daughters' of official families above thirteen and under seventeen have to participate in the draft!" Then he smiled again: "But I was sick before, and I guess I can't choose it." ”
Jiang Huanting smiled, looked at Jin Yanran again, looked at her beautiful face carefully, and felt a little wary in her heart, but there was a smile on her face: "Miss Jin's 'flower' appearance and moon appearance must be chosen!" ”
Jin Yanran smiled slightly and replied: "If you want to talk about the appearance of the 'flower' and the moon, Miss Jiang is." ”
This sentence made Jiang Huanting very happy, and praised Jin Yanran a few more words. was chatting, a palace 'girl' came to look for her, saying that her mother was looking for her, Jiang Huanting quit the two and followed the palace 'girl' behind.
After Jiang Huanting left, a young 'girl' next to her came over and asked Jin Yanran: "Miss Jiang asked you about the draft just now!" ”
Liu Zitong smiled: "How do you know? ”
The young 'girl' sneered: "All afternoon, she has been talking about it!" It's also her good life! ”
Jin Yanran was curious and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
The young 'girl' said: "I think you also know the rules of my dynasty, each family generation can only produce one palace concubine. Originally, her cousin, who is now Mrs. Hou, was going to enter the palace, so she didn't have this draft spot. But she didn't expect that her cousin didn't enter the palace later and married Marquis An Yuan, and the quota of the Jiang family fell on her! However, with her appearance and talent, it is not hopeless. What's more, she still has Mrs. Hou in the background, as long as Mrs. Hou and the Queen Mother say a word, leaving a sign is not a matter of words! After saying that, he walked away with envy and jealousy!
After the young 'girl' left, Liu Zitong whispered to Jin Yanran: "Is it good to enter the palace?" Why does everyone want to enter the palace! ”
"That is, stay in the palace for the rest of your life. It's hard to even see your family, but ......" Jin Yanran whispered in Liu Zitong's ear: "My mother said that I won't enter the palace in this draft, and the palace will help me point out a 'door' good family matter!" So I'm not in a hurry! ”
The triennial draft is not only for the emperor to find a wife, after the emperor is selected, the rest will be pointed out to the emperor's relatives, marriageable men among the princes and ministers.
Liu Zitong smiled: "That's good, but I'm not in a hurry, I have a medical history, and I will definitely be put off the brand!" ”
Jin Yanran was a little anxious when she heard this: "But will your medical history affect your relatives?" ”
Liu Zitong shook his head: "My mother said no." ”
"That's good." Jin Yanran put her mind at ease. Liu Zitong saw that she was really worried about herself, and she was very moved, and talked to her about some things on her mind.
On the other side, Jiang Ruonan was surrounded by a group of 'women', and after chatting for a while, she understood their intentions, it turned out that they all wanted to ask themselves to come over to recuperate for them or their relatives, but considering her identity, she was embarrassed to speak.
Jiang Ruonan's heart moved, after she recuperated for Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu gave her a lot of gifts...... In other words, he doesn't have much income in a year, Hou Mansion 20 taels of silver per month, three Zhuangzi out of a year is only three or four hundred taels, a year can not save much silver, if you and the monkey in the future, not only to support yourself, but also to support these people around you, in case you don't find a way to make money in this world, what to do? Don't let the queen support herself!
But if I can recuperate for these people. They will definitely not let themselves do it in vain, so that they can not only get something valuable, but also be familiar with various cases, accumulate experience, stabilize their contacts, and maybe develop into their own work in the future......
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruonan has already made a decision, and the rest depends on how to convince Mrs. Tai, after all, if she keeps running out in the future, Mrs. Tai may be unhappy.
Jiang Ruonan did not refuse them, but just said that he would go back to discuss it with his family, and ordered the 'women' to be even more happy when they saw the play, and they treated Jiang Ruonan even more affectionately.
Dinner is still eaten in the Fengtian Temple, but there are not so many cumbersome procedures at noon, and everyone can eat quietly.
After dinner, everyone rested for a while, and then went to Chang 'Spring' Garden to watch the play.
Jin Yanran and Liu Zitong went over after dinner, Jiang Ruonan went to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother first, and wanted to go over with the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother said that she would go over later and let her go first.
Jiang Ruonan came out of Cining Palace and walked towards Chang's 'Spring' Garden.
The sunset is like a fire burning in the sky. Wantonly showing its 'gorgeous' beauty.
Jiang Ruonan walked leisurely while enjoying the scenery of the palace at sunset.
When I turned a long corridor, I saw Liu Zijin walking in front.
When Jiang Ruonan saw his acquaintance, he subconsciously opened his mouth to greet: "Imperial Doctor Liu." ”
Liu Zijin, who was in front, heard someone calling him, stopped, turned around, and saw that it was Jiang Ruonan, a smile naturally bloomed on his face, and he looked at her, "It turned out to be Mrs. Hou." ”
Jiang Ruonan already regarded him as a friend in his heart, and he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he was 'very' happy to see him this time. She stood two meters away from him, but saw Liu Zijin wearing a black 'colored' court dress, the colorful 'color' silk thread on the court dress, flashing a beautiful light in the sunset, and then lining his white 'jade' skin, ink-like long hair, it made people feel that it was obviously a very orthodox clothing, but it had a kind of out-of-the-world taste on his body.
After Jiang Ruonan saluted, he asked with a smile: "Why haven't you seen Imperial Doctor Liu all day today?" ”
This casual sentence made Liu Zijin feel an indescribable joy in her heart, did she pay attention to herself? But then I thought of her identity, and this joy turned into endless melancholy.
"There are a few adults who are unwell today, and Xia Guan has been taking care of them!"
Jiang Ruonan smiled: "So that's the case, it's really a capable person who works hard!" Then he asked, "Are you going to Chang's 'Spring' Garden now?" ”
"Exactly."
"I'm going there too." Jiang Ruonan walked forward slowly as she spoke, and Liu Zijin waited for her to walk a distance before slowly following her.
Actually, he should wait for Jiang Ruonan to walk over before he can move before he can comply with the rules, but he is reluctant to get along with her for this hard-won opportunity.
He didn't have any other thoughts, he didn't dare to have any delusions, he just wanted to walk slowly with her through this journey, and he was very satisfied to be able to listen to her voice and look at her back.
After Jiang Ruonan walked a few steps, he suddenly thought about the gua sha he taught him last time, so he turned around and asked him with a smile: "The gua sha you told you last time, have you used it later?" ”
When she smiled, the last rays of the sunset on the edge of the sky were reflected on her face, and there was a magnificent brilliance in her dark eyes, and her smile had a soft beauty, as if there was an invisible force that struck his heart one by one.
His expression became very soft and warm,
Speaking of which, thanks to Mrs. Hou, although the effect of gua sha is not as good as acupuncture. But it has an auxiliary effect on the treatment, which is very helpful to me! ”
"That's good, by the way, if I have any difficulties in medical skills in the future, can I ask you?" Remembering that there were some medical books she read before, she couldn't understand.
"Mrs. Hou has excellent medical skills, is there still a place where you need to consult the lower officials?"
Jiang Ruonan turned his head and smiled: "I said, I don't know medical skills, I just learned some food therapy methods, but I want to know more about medical skills, and I have read some books on this subject, but there are many places that I don't understand." ”
Liu Zijin was a little surprised: "I didn't expect Mrs. Hou to be so studious!" "It's really awe-inspiring.
"There's no end to learning!" Jiang Ruonan smiled embarrassedly.
"That being the case, in the future, the lady will really have a place for the lower officials, and the lower officials are willing to serve. Xia Guan has to check the pulse of the Queen Mother every day, if Mrs. Hou has any questions, she can find me at that time! "In this way, I can see her a few more times.
The smile on the corner of Jiang Ruonan's mouth deepened, and his eyes flickered, "Then thank you Taiyi Liu first!" ”
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly heard someone calling her name not far away: "Ruolan!" The voice was low.
The two of them followed the prestige, but saw a person standing on a small road next to him, tall, with arrow sleeves and reckless clothes, a face hidden in the dark, unable to see clearly, but from him there was a burst of 'gloomy' atmosphere.
But it's Jin Shaokang.
