Chapter 18 Hidden Merit and Name Eighteen
The young Zhang Wang didn't know how to protect himself, nor did he know how to use this opportunity to blackmail the palace maid. But these palace maids would not let go of Zhang Wang's family and his master, because they were worried that Zhang Wang's master and apprentice would betray them sooner or later. For their safety and to keep their secrets, the palace maids often do some outrageous things. Once, Zhang Wang's family was called up in his sleep, saying that there was a palace maid with status who was sick and asked Zhang Wang's master and apprentice to see a doctor. As soon as their master and apprentice arrived at the palace maid's residence, they found that they were surrounded. It turned out that the palace maid was worried that her pregnancy would be exposed, and decided to ask Zhang Wang's master and apprentice to join the gang. Only when they also become accomplices, the palace maid does not have to worry about Zhang Wang's master and apprentice denunciating herself. Young Zhang Wang didn't know what to do, because she noticed several men dressed as guards looking at her with bad intentions.
Zhang Wang's master looked at Zhang Wang's face calmly, and then pulled up Zhang Wang's clothes to show everyone. Zhang Wang's body was full of red rashes, and the master told everyone that Zhang Wang's was a child born to a palace girl who had flower willow disease. So Zhang Wang's family has been sick since he was a child, no wonder Zhang Wang's family has no parents. Zhang Wang's family is not only contagious, but also can't be raised without the master, so there is no need to worry about Zhang Wang's betrayal of her master. As for the master's problem, the master did even more desperately, the master generously stripped off his clothes and had a relationship with these guards, so that no one would have to worry about the master would denounce him.
The master who returned to the doctor's residence looked calm, as if nothing had happened. Zhang Wang finally understood why the master didn't let Zhang Wang dress himself, and why Zhang Wang applied ointment to make his body red all day long. Only in this way can the chastity of Zhang Wang's family be preserved, and only in this way can he pass the test of the palace maid leaving the palace every year. There are rules in the palace, and only palace maids who are over twenty-five years old and still virgins have the opportunity to leave the palace. A woman like Master Zhang Wang will never be able to leave the palace, and she will have a chance to be thrown out except when she dies. In order to allow Zhang Wang's family to go out, the master came up with this method that was not a way, and the purpose was to let Zhang Wang's family officially leave the palace.
Zhang Wang finally survived to the age of twenty-five and passed the assessment of leaving the palace. While preparing the luggage for Zhang Wang's family, the master told Zhang Wang's life experience thoroughly and thoroughly told Zhang Wang's family. It turns out that the master is not only Zhang Wang's master, but also Zhang Wang's biological mother, that is to say, the master is Zhang Wang's mother. This fact made it difficult for Zhang Wang's family to accept, didn't the master say that his mother had already died? How could she be Zhang Wang's biological mother?
The master told Zhang Wang that this is a fact and cannot be changed. The master's mother was also a medical woman, but she was not Han. The master told Zhang Wang that her mother, who was Zhang Wang's grandmother, turned out to be a tribute girl from a minority tribe. The so-called tribute girl is a girl who is presented to the court by the minority tribes. Not only must this kind of girl be young and beautiful, but she must also be a virgin. Because the rules of the Han people are that the big people don't like to enjoy other people's women, and giving them the women used by others is tantamount to humiliating them. Therefore, every tribute girl, whether it is the contributor or the recipient, needs to strictly check whether she is a virgin. Zhang Wang's grandmother was unlucky, and when she entered the palace, the then emperor Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong had already begun to cultivate. As an emperor who began to live a Taoist life, he would never touch a woman, so Zhang Wang's grandmother was equivalent to living a life that was worse than death.
Zhang Wang's grandmother lives lonely in this unfamiliar place, because she is not a nation, and her lifestyle and living habits are incompatible with others. has no status and no identity, Zhang Wang's grandmother can hardly live. Although no one targeted her at that time, everyone's indifference made Zhang Wang's grandmother very painful. At this time, she accidentally discovered the profession of medical women, although medical women have a low status in the palace, but it is better than sitting and waiting for death. Zhang's grandmother, who had a preliminary knowledge of herbal medicine, took the initiative to become a medical woman, and soon after her request was fulfilled, she became a medical woman.
Zhang's grandmother, who became a medical woman, finally understood why there was a shortage of medical women in the palace, because the work of a medical woman was really not something that ordinary people could do. Every day, not only do you have to keep seeing a doctor and dispensing medicine for the palace maid, but you also have to be constantly abused or whipped by others. There are even some palace maids who ask the doctor to do some out-of-the-ordinary things, such as fake phoenixes and virtual phoenixes to accompany the palace maids to stroke sports, and some palace maids ask the doctor to help them prescribe contraceptive pills or have abortions. Zhang Wang's grandmother was really driven crazy by these palace maids, and she would never ask to be a doctor if she knew that being a doctor would be like this.
Just when Zhang Wang's grandmother regretted being a medical woman, an unusually sudden disaster befell Zhang Wang's grandmother. The palace maids were worried that Zhang Wang's grandmother would tell their secret, so they deliberately publicized the fact that Zhang Wang's grandmother was a tribute girl. The guards didn't dare to take possession of Zhang Wang's grandmother so directly, but the imperial doctors had their own methods. They took advantage of the opportunity to teach medical science to medical girls, and deliberately took care of the studious grandmother of Zhang Wang. Under the pretext of making up lessons for Zhang's grandmother, the imperial doctors left Zhang's grandmother alone. The other medical women seemed to have seen the clue a long time ago, and deliberately acted as if they didn't know how to cooperate with the doctor. When Zhang Wang woke up after a coma, she realized that she had been bullied by a group of serious looking imperial doctors. Zhang Wang's grandmother didn't dare to say this kind of thing, and the imperial doctors were not afraid of Zhang Wang's grandmother saying it, because they would use the excuse that Zhang Wang's grandmother was a foreign race and said that Zhang Wang's grandmother deliberately seduced them. Zhang's grandmother had no choice but to be at the mercy of these people, and she became a venting tool for these imperial doctors.
Soon after, the matter of Zhang Wang's grandmother was known by others, and the palace maids and eunuchs all looked down on her, and some guards took the opportunity to take advantage of her. In this environment, Zhang Wang's grandmother is pregnant, and even she herself does not know who the father of the child is. Originally, Zhang Wang's grandmother was not willing to give birth to a child, but according to the tradition of Zhang Wang's grandmother's mother's family, the mother could not kill the child with her own hands, so Zhang Wang's master was born.
Since Zhang Wang's biological mother, who is Zhang Wang's master, was born, Zhang Wang's grandmother did not recognize this child as her own child, and only recognized this child as her own apprentice. Zhang Wang's master has never received maternal love since he was a child, and if it weren't for an old palace maid telling her the truth, she wouldn't believe that the master who was very bad to her was actually her mother. Maybe he didn't understand the master, maybe he wanted his mother to care about him, and the master, who was not very old at the time, began to learn badly. She was ignorant and thought that she could get the maternal love she longed for in this way, but she didn't know that doing so would harm her life.
Several guards took her, who was only thirteen years old at the time, into a small room, and everything that followed was a nightmare for her. When Zhang Wang's grandmother rushed to the scene after learning about it, Zhang Wang's master was already a bloody person. Everyone thought that the child would not survive, and was tortured to death by a large group of guards. Only the master and mother, who was very indifferent to her, picked her up and took care of her day and night to heal her wounds. That is, on this night, Zhang Wang's master heard his mother sing for the first time, although Zhang Wang's master couldn't understand it, but this was definitely the best song she had ever heard. Her mother, who was also indifferent to her that night, told her to be strong and work hard to live, and even told her some secrets that outsiders did not know.
When she gradually recovered, her master, her birth mother, was gone. It was many years before Zhang Wang's master learned the truth. Zhang Wang's grandmother, who took good care of her daughter, made an unexpected decision after explaining everything. Under the pretext of delivering private letters to the palace maids, she approached the guards who were in possession of her daughter. When no one expected it, she spilled a large handful of medicinal powder, and the result was that all seventeen or eighteen people, including her, turned into blood. She finally avenged her daughter, and finally did something for her daughter that a mother should do. This matter was concealed, and if it hadn't been for Zhang Wang's master who had overheard about it, it was estimated that she would never have known the truth for the rest of her life.
