Chapter Ninety-Seven: Talking
Wen House.
The snow and ice have melted, and the sky and the earth are clear and vast.
The warm sunlight shone down, and a shadow was pulled out of a cypress tree in the courtyard, and the long shadow was cast on the pavilion to the north, zigzag and twisted in sections.
Zhou Jinxuan took Zhou Zheng into the Wen Mansion and saw such a scene.
Imperial Physician Wen and Wen Ci personally went out to receive Zhou Jinxuan's father and daughter.
Wen Ci personally brewed wolfberry chrysanthemum medicinal tea for them.
Zhou Jinxuan said: "Ling Lang is really considerate, tasting a cup of wolfberry chrysanthemum tea this winter is better than eating ten bowls of tonic soup." ”
Imperial Physician Wen smiled and stroked his beard, "Grandpa Wu Guo has an overreputation. Where can the dog be able to make love understand tea. No one in the whole capital knows that Wu Guogong has a daughter, dignified and elegant, who is meticulous in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has won the essence of the county lord. The county lord mentioned by Imperial Physician Wen naturally refers to Lin Yu.
Zhou Jinxuan and Imperial Physician Wen praised each other's children, and then talked politely about their respective mansions, Zhou Zhengzheng and Wen Ci both lowered their heads, at this time they just need to listen, they don't need to answer.
Wen Ci looked at Zhou Zhengzheng from time to time, her eyes full of tenderness. Zhou Zheng didn't see it.
"Ah Ci, it's rare for the eldest lady of the Wu Guogong Mansion to come here, you take the eldest lady to look around, don't miss anything." Imperial Physician Wen said to Wen Ci.
"Yes." Wen Ci looked smug and winked at Zhou Zheng, "Miss Zhou, please." ”
The look was alive and well as a naughty child.
Zhou Zheng got up, saluted the elders, and followed Wen Ci and walked around the Wen Mansion.
Wen Cimei introduced her home, and said: "If Miss Zhou likes to go to the East Garden to see plum blossoms, you can accompany the girl at any time." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Young Master Wen, thank you very much, but I don't like to look at plum blossoms." ”
Wen Ci saw that it was so cold, Zhou Zhengzheng also ran to the East Garden, thinking that Zhou Zhengzheng was the same as her, and he loved to play, so he said: "If you don't like to see plum blossoms, you can go to other places." As long as Miss Zhou is willing to come out, the capital is so big, and it is good to go wherever you go. ”
Zhou Zhengzheng saw Wen Ci's enthusiastic appearance and said with a smile: "Where it is fun, it is not as fun as Qingxiangzhuang." ”
Wen Ci said, "What's so funny about that broken spice shop?" ”
Zhou Zhengzheng thought that Wen Ci had already bought so many spices from Qingxiangzhuang and gave them to her, and he couldn't bear to "blackmail" his silver again, so he said: "Of course it's fun, if Gongzi Wen can take his friends to Qingxiangzhuang to buy spices, it will be even more fun." ”
Wen Ci said: "It's easy, but what does this have to do with Miss Zhou?" I don't know, I thought that Qingxiangzhuang was opened by Miss Zhou. ”
She really drove it! Zhou Zhengzheng smiled: "Anyway, I just think it's fun." You don't play. ”
Wen Ci said, "No problem! Next time, I'll take King Yu to Qingxiangzhuang together! Guaranteed to make Miss Chow fun! ”
Zhou Zhengzheng's eyes lit up, "I heard that King Yu returned to the palace because of the Queen Mother, right?" ”
Wen Ci said, "Who knows? I just heard that the Queen Mother was sick, and my father couldn't cure it. ”
"What? Imperial Doctor Wen can't heal well? Is this disease so serious? Zhou Zheng sat down on the swing frame and asked.
Finally found a topic that interested Zhou Zhengzheng, Wen Ci became happy and told him everything he knew, "Yes, it's very serious, it is said to be a serious illness during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it has been being treated, my father said that it was a miracle, it was originally a disease, and the Queen Mother could delay it until now and still have a breath." ”
Wen Ci's words were very arrogant, but in the face of Zhou Zhengzheng, he seemed to have no scruples.
"Who is healing the Queen Mother's illness?" Zhou Zheng asked.
"I don't know, but the emperor is also investigating the reason. The emperor has not found out for so long, how can we, the courtiers, know? Wen Ci said, gently shaking the swing, "Does Miss Zhou like swinging?" My sister loved it too. ”
Wen Ci talked about his sister and wanted to change the subject, after all, he was not very interested in the affairs of the imperial court.
Zhou Zhengzheng nodded, "Girls may like it!" ”
Wen Ci said: "My sister prefers to be quiet, otherwise you can invite her out and meet Miss Zhou." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "There will be opportunities in the future." ”
Wen Ci said: "It's strange to say, Miss Zhou and my sister are the same age, my sister looks like an ignorant naughty child, but Miss Zhou is calm and sensible, dignified and polite, which makes people ...... Like. ”
Zhou Zhengzheng smiled, your sister is a normal child, okay? Who made her the one who was born again! In his previous life, he was very willful and rude!
But even if she was rude and willful in her previous life, Wen Ci had a good relationship with her. Later, Wen Ci grew up and got married, and Wen Ci also went to the other garden to see Zhou Zhengzheng a few times.
When he returned to the inner room, Zhou Jinxuan was about to go back. So the father and daughter said goodbye to Imperial Physician Wen and got into the carriage and left.
Back at the Wu Guogong Mansion, Zhou Jinxuan left Zhou Zhengzheng to wait for a while and said that he had something to say.
"Imperial Physician Wen has the heart to make friends with our Wu Guogong Mansion, and Wen Ci is very kind to you." Zhou Jinxuan looked at Zhou Zhengzheng's expression tentatively.
Zhou Zhengzheng took a sip of tea casually, "Gongzi Wen is good, and the tea he brews is also very delicious." ”
Zhou Jinxuan said: "Imperial Doctor Wen seems to want to marry Qin and Jin with us." ”
Zhou Zheng pretended to be surprised, "Really? ”
Zhou Jinxuan said: "Ah Zheng, if Daddy wants to promise you to Wen Ci, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Zheng was stunned: "Why? ”
Wu Guogong's reputation is not small, there are many people who come to Wu Guogong to be a matchmaker, and they are even greater than the Wen family in terms of power, but Zhou Jinxuan politely refused, but he didn't expect that as soon as Wen Ci showed goodwill, Zhou Jinxuan had the intention of agreeing.
This does not seem to be in line with Zhou Jinxuan's character.
Zhou Jinxuan said: "The Wen family, the people are simple, indifferent to fame and fortune, Wen Ci has a skill, and has been practicing medicine for generations, if you marry in the past, you will be able to avoid the court battle and live a peaceful life." ”
It turned out that Zhou Jinxuan took a fancy to the Wen family's generational infighting.
It is also said that the Wen family has the hereditary title of imperial physician, does not worry about food and clothing, and has no military power, so it will not arouse the emperor's suspicion, no matter who is the emperor in the future, the Wen family will always be the imperial physician Wen.
Such a family is indeed the best choice for marriage.
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "However, my daughter never thought that she would become a ...... with the Wen family."
"That's because you're young and you don't understand what's best for you." Zhou Jinxuan sighed, "Ah Zheng, my father doesn't want you to have too much contact with the prince and grandson, do you understand?" ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "My daughter doesn't. ”
Zhou Jinxuan said: "Is there really nothing? But who did you go to the East Garden to see? ”
