Chapter 227: Temptation
Cui Shangshu belongs to the Cui family
It's not that he doesn't have enough knowledge, it's that his head is blank every time he takes the exam, not to mention the exam, it's good if he doesn't hand in a blank paper.
Cui Shangshu also knew about his son's problem, so after working hard for a few years, he no longer forced him to go to the scientific examination again.
Almost all his hopes are placed on his grandchildren, two of whom he relies on the most, are now studying abroad.
His fall came without warning, and many things were arranged in advance, which meant that his political resources could not be handed over to his grandson.
That's why Cui Dalang is so anxious.
Not only was he anxious, but the rest of the Cui family was also anxious, and when Lin Qingwan followed Cui Dalang to the main courtyard, Dr. Xu was already giving Cui Shangshu a needle.
After some massage and needles, Cui Shangshu finally woke up, he opened his eyes leisurely, glanced at everyone in the room, and before he opened his mouth to speak, a stream of saliva flowed out of his mouth.
The Cui family, who was in surprise, was stunned, and looked at the person on the bed in pain and shock.
Cui Shangshu obviously didn't expect it, he trembled his lips and wanted to speak, but found it a little difficult.
Lin Qingwan couldn't help but push Cui Dalang, he came back to his senses in an instant, and hurriedly knelt in front of his father's bed.
Cui Shangshu saw Lin Qingwan at this time, and when he saw her turn around and go out again, he hurriedly trembled his lips and said, "Lin ...... Stay, leave ......"
Cui Dalang hurriedly turned around and kept Lin Qingwan, "The county lord will stay, my father may have something to say to you." ”
Lin Qingwan walked to the side of the bed, half-kneeling to look at him, Cui Shangshu's eyes flashed with appreciation, he looked at Dr. Xu on the side, and said slowly: "Thank you......"
"Shibo is polite," Lin Qingwan comforted softly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." ”
Cui Shangshu smiled slightly, which can be regarded as accepting her kindness, but even if he is well, it will be difficult to enter the court.
That being the case, it is better to take this opportunity to leave a network for your grandchildren.
He has a close relationship with Lin Qingwan, not only because he is friends with Lin Zhi, but also because there have been more exchanges between the two sides in the DPRK and China in recent years.
But this relationship alone is not enough, he needs to strengthen the friendship between the two sides.
With Lin Qingwan's current status and ability to show, the future is limitless, and he will not despise the other party just because she is a woman.
So he left Lin Qingwan to show closeness and trust.
Doctor Xu sat aside and closed his eyes to recuperate, he didn't care about these things, just prescribed medicine, and when the time came, he gave Cui Shangshu another needle, and then he bowed slightly to the Cui family, wiped the sweat on his forehead and withdrew.
Cui Shangshu was rescued in time, and Cui's family handled it properly, and it looked serious, but in Dr. Xu's opinion, this was just a slight stroke, and even if it could not return to normal after a period of time, it should be no problem to take care of oneself.
At this time, Cui Shangshu also felt much better, he gave his eldest son a look, and only the three sons and his wife and Lin Qingwan were left in the house.
He didn't shy away from it, and said directly to Lin Qingwan: "I am an official in the same dynasty as your father, and I have a deep friendship, and I have always treated you and your eldest brother as children, but unfortunately after your father left, I didn't take enough care of your brothers and sisters, please don't mind." ”
Lin Qingwan bent down and said: "Shibo is polite, my brother was taken care of by you and Ren Shibo when he was there, after my brother went, if it weren't for you and Ren Shibo, how many people in the capital would remember my Lin family?" ”
Why is Lin Qingwan so familiar in front of the emperor and empress, even if she has never met, and she can be taken care of by them far away in Suzhou?
In addition to the legacy of the Lin family and the ability of Lin Qingwan, it is the help of these old uncles.
From time to time, they would mention Lin Ying, Lin Zhi and Lin Jiang in front of the emperor, and naturally mentioned Lin Qingwan's aunt and nephew.
When their wives enter the palace to meet the queen, they will occasionally talk about some news about the Lin family in Suzhou, otherwise no matter how capable they are, they will not mention it for a long time, and once the freshness is over, who will remember you?
Therefore, Lin Qingwan is really grateful to Cui Shangshu, and she is indeed worried about his body when she comes in such a hurry.
The Cui family naturally saw Lin Qingwan's sincerity, and their hearts were better.
Cui Shangshu was more relieved and could continue the following topic, and sighed: "It's really not the right time for this illness, it's your Majesty's birthday,"
He said slowly, but clearly: "My Majesty is ill, Your Majesty will definitely appoint a new person to take over the household department, who does the county lord think is suitable?" ”
Lin Qingwan was stunned, how could she ask her such a thing?
"Shibo is the head of the household, so it is naturally up to you and Your Majesty to decide such a matter."
"Although it was decided by His Majesty, the candidate was recommended by us," Cui Shangshu said: "What does the county lord think of Xie Sinong?" ”
Lin Qingwan was stunned, straightened her back and asked, "Lord Xie has been serving as Si Nongqing all these years, and he still understands the affairs of the household department?" ”
Cui Shangshu glanced at his eldest son, and Cui Dalang said, "Master Xie was promoted to Si Nongqing from the household department. ”
That luck is really not good, Lin Qingwan picked her lips and said: "But after all, I haven't touched the accounts for many years, so naturally I can't compare to the two waiters in the household department." ”
Cui Shangshu and Cui Dalang understood now, Lin Qingwan didn't want Xie Hong to take over the Hubu Shangshu.
But why?
Xie Hong is her husband's grandfather, and it is good for him to be a scholar for her.
Lin Qingwan was still in a hurry to leave, but now she is not in a hurry, joke, if Xie Hong is allowed to become the head of the household department at this time, then what is she doing so much effort during this time?
So she comforted Cui Shangshu and said: "Don't worry, Shibo, it's better to leave the affairs of the household department to the two squires for the time being, you can recuperate with peace of mind first, and wait for Your Majesty's birthday to pass." ”
"Your Majesty's birthday, if there is no Shangshu to be the town ......," Cui Shangshu said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that there will be chaos." ”
Lin Qingwan thought about it, and now the two servants who can take over the household department in the court are Xie Hong and Guozi Priest Wine.
Ke Guozi priest wine ...... Thinking of the Guozi priest wine she knew, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but shake her head and asked, "Can't the two waiters under your command take over?" ”
Cui Shangshu was silent.
The left squire's ability is not bad, but his family background is worse, if he does a book, I am afraid that the right squire and some ministers in the court will not be convinced, the household is the weight of a country, if the first official can not convince the public, it is really a disaster for the country.
So he didn't think about Zuo Shilang, if he wanted to be a scholar, he would have to go through a few more years of training, and it would be natural to save his prestige.
As for the right squire, his family background is not bad, but he is talented, not to mention the minister of the court, if he becomes a scholar, he is afraid that he will not even be able to accept the household department, let alone within his scope of consideration.
Cui Shangshu sighed, feeling that he was not sick at the right time, it would be better a few years later, at that time, Zuo Shilang had also experienced, and his grandson estimated that he had also obtained the test results, and he also had time to make more arrangements, how good.
Now, it's hard!
Lin Qingwan saw that his brows were furrowed, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "Why do you bother, it's better to relax your mind and recuperate first, let Your Majesty and the household worry about these things." ”
Cui Dalang was also afraid that his father would get sick again, so he hurriedly said: "Dad, you can rest first, these things will be talked about when you recover from your illness." ”
Lin Qingwan said: "I'll leave Dr. Xu behind, and you will invite the imperial doctor after dawn." ”
As the head of the department, Cui Shangshu has the right to ask for an imperial doctor.
Cui Dalang sent Lin Qingwan out with a grateful face.
When he came back, his father could barely sit up, his spirit was better, and he spoke a lot more neatly, if it weren't for the fact that his mouth was still slanted, drooling from time to time, and looking like a normal person.
Mrs. Cui said with a happy face: "This Dr. Xu's medical skills are good, and Dr. Liu in our family is really useless......
Cui Erlang said: "How can it be compared, Dr. Xu, but Lin Jiang was looking for him to save his sister's life, I heard that his medical skills are the best in Jiangnan, and the Tai Hospital has recruited him, but he didn't answer the call." ”
Cui Sanlang said: "In this case, why don't we beg Lord Lin to let Dr. Xu stay for a few more days?" ”
"The imperial doctor will be here tomorrow, and Dr. Xu will stay here if he is not good," Cui Dalang entered the door and said, "Father, if you think that the medicine used by Dr. Xu is good, why don't you invite the imperial doctor to stay at home?" ”
Cui Shangshu thought about it, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, it's not good, let's ask the imperial doctor to stay at home." ”
The three sons have always listened to their father's words, and they have no objections when they hear it.
Cui Shangshu said slowly: "Call a few children back, I don't know when I will be gone." ”
"Father!" The three sons of the Cui family were a little sad, and Mrs. Cui wiped her tears and said: "What are you talking nonsense, Dr. Xu has said it, you are no different from a normal person when you take care of it." ”
Cui Shangshu sighed, held his wife's hand and said: "It's useless when I'm old, I just didn't react at the time, and who knew that I would fall." Don't deal with the people in the house, and let them serve me, don't scare the kid who keeps vigil......"
"Don't worry, I know that you are kind, and you haven't dealt with them yet......"
When Mrs. Cui saw that he was tired, she sent all the people in the house down, leaving only the eldest son to serve the sick.
Cui Shangshu closed his eyes and recuperated, and said faintly after half a sound: "Do you want to ask why I want to keep that girl from the Lin family?" ”
Mrs. Cui smiled: "Since you are naturally doing this, there is a reason, I don't ask, I will listen to you." ”
Cui Shangshu smiled and looked at his eldest son.
Cui Dalang bowed his head and said: "Lord Lin and General Zhong are very close, and the relationship with the eldest princess does not look bad now, with the scheming ability she is showing now, the future is limitless." It's always good to get married. ”
Who called them a side branch, and the relationship with the branch is not very good, and there is only one pillar of the father?
Cui Dalang was ashamed.
Cui Shangshu nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, don't underestimate her just because she is a woman, look at Zhong Ruying, who would have thought that she could stand above the court as a woman, but you look at it now, in Daliang China, except for Lu Zhen, Cui Zheng and Xu Lian, who can stand above her?" ”
