Chapter 306: Gunma
Therefore, his friendly attitude at this time left a good impression on the Fang family, if he really became the county master, he would naturally take a special look at him, on the contrary, if he guessed wrong, he would have nothing to lose, just one more mouth, and he didn't waste anything, and he could still please Lord Fang and Mr. Ye, this is not a loss-making business.
Thinking about it, along the way, Xiao Shunzi was extremely respectful and polite to Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye, and personally took them into the palace gate, not to mention, but also directly took the two of them to the emperor's imperial study together, and did not let the two of them stay in the middle, waiting for a while.
The next thing was logical, and when Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye were brought to the emperor by the eunuch chief Xiao Shunzi to Emperor Zhou Chengyong, Fang Jingshu presented the so-called pox recipe that could prevent smallpox, and Mr. Ye began to teach the doctors in the Tai Hospital how to plant pox.
In this way, the emperor's holy decree went down together, and in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, all the people who were suitable for pox, whether it was the royal family, dignitaries, ordinary people, or even wandering beggars, the emperor issued a decree to the yamen of each county on all continents, which were controlled by the local parent officials, and organized local doctors to require all the people in the record to carry out pox one by one.
If there are those that are not suitable for planting pox, they will be excluded, and the others will be planted with cowpox.
In addition, all the expenses required for pox are funded by the state treasury, and the local government is not allowed to levy any fees on the people, otherwise once discovered, they will be disgraced and abandoned, or they will be sent to exile.
At the same time that the emperor conveyed such a holy decree one by one, he also sent inspection envoys from the capital to all continents and prefectures, and he must urge the people below to handle this matter.
Therefore, within the scope of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this method of artificial pox was vigorously carried out for three months, and after three months, all the inspectors sent out by the prefectures and provinces returned to Beijing one by one, and when they returned to the capital, they naturally ran to the emperor on the first day to report the situation of the pox everywhere, and presented the roster of pox personnel to the emperor one by one, and the list of local people signed and stamped, as well as layers of official seals and seals, there was no way to fake. In this way, the pox was carried out on a large scale, and it was quite smooth from top to bottom.
That Fang Dongqiao learned the good news from the mouth of Qingluo who ran in from outside, and naturally smiled.
Originally, she thought that when she went to Xiaoyao Valley five years ago, Mr. Ye and Rong Ruochen had already presented this pox method, and it stands to reason that everyone else in the Great Zhou Dynasty should be planted with cowpox except for people who are not suitable for pox.
It's just that they didn't expect that they were so cautious that they didn't dare to pass on this pox method recklessly, until it was delayed until today, until His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Zhou Hongli, got smallpox, and her prescription saved his life, so this pox method was taken out and offered, benefiting all the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that they no longer have to smell smallpox and change color, and no longer think that they will die if they have smallpox, which is undoubtedly a major problem in medicine, for doctors, for patients, It's all a gospel.
As for Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye, who delivered the gospel this time, whether it is in front of the king or in the eyes of the people, they are all people with great merit.
What's more, the Bai family's unjust case twenty years ago has been rehabilitated by the emperor, and the eldest brother Fang Jingshu, as a descendant of the Bai family, can be regarded as doing his best for the Bai family and returning his responsibilities as a son of man.
From now on, the eldest brother should have no worries, and he can rest assured that he can return to a peaceful life as the son of the Fang family.
Thinking about it, the corners of Fang Dongqiao's mouth rose slightly, and he hurriedly ordered the two big maids beside him, Hibiscus Qingluo.
"You two, go down and prepare well, the eldest brother is going to participate in the palace feast at this time, and when you want to come back, you will inevitably be drunk, you will go down to prepare a decanting soup for the eldest young master, and Mulian, prepare some food for the eldest young master in the small kitchen, Miss Ben thought, in that place in the palace, although there are many delicacies from the mountains and seas, but where will you eat freely, so the eldest brother will definitely be hungry when he comes back, this, you have to prepare it well, you know?"
Fang Dongqiao smiled and looked at the three maids, Hibiscus, Qingluo and Mulian.
When the three of them heard Fang Dongqiao's order, they nodded hurriedly and went down to prepare.
In the evening, the eldest brother Fang Jingshu really came back from the palace, when he came back, it was Mr. Ye and the big red man around the emperor, the eunuch chief Xiao Shunzi got off the carriage and entered the house, Fang Dongqiao went out with his father and mother, and happened to see the eldest brother drunk like mud.
He didn't walk very steadily, he leaned on the manager and Mr. Ye and walked in step by step, here his body was swaying so much, not to mention, he still shouted: "I'm not drunk, Master, I'm not drunk, I'm happy today, I have to drink a few more glasses, drink a few more glasses." ”
This mother's Yun family and father Fang Mingcheng saw Fang Jingshu's appearance, both frowned, Yun quickly ordered the people below, stepped forward to go to Fang Jingshu to support him, and apologized to Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch, and stuffed fifty taels of silver for him, so that he could take it back and drink a cup of tea.
Fang Dongqiao thought that his mother's behavior seemed to be a little inappropriate, after all, this father-in-law was not another father-in-law, it was the emperor's personal father-in-law, and he was still a five-grade manager, how could he put the fifty taels of silver in his eyes, maybe how he would dislike it and not accept it.
As soon as she thought about it, she wanted the maids around her to give her some more, where did she think that the eunuch chief Xiao Shunzi accepted it with a happy face, he not only accepted it, but also congratulated the Yun family and Fang Mingcheng: "The slave congratulated the two, the county master is happy today, it is rare to drink a few more glasses, that is also a reasonable thing, the emperor is not responsible, and the two of them should not blame the county master." Seeing the Fang family's look on Fang Jingshu's back, he naturally understood what the Fang family and his wife were thinking, so he told them the good news earlier.
And the Yun family and Fang Mingcheng were obviously shocked by this news.
"What did my father-in-law just say? County, County Horse Lord? Do you mean my brother?! ”
Yun Shi pointed to Fang Jingshu, who was drunk and groggy with the whole person, in shock.
The chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi nodded with a smile, affirming the Yun family's conjecture.
"Yes, exactly. Our family is here to congratulate the two of you, your Fang family is smoking from the grave of your ancestors, this is not only out of the champion, but also out of the county master at this time. Tonight, the emperor learned that the people of the world no longer have to suffer from smallpox, and as soon as he was happy, he rewarded Lord Fang at the palace banquet for being promoted to three levels in a row, and became a waiter of the Ministry of Works, not to mention, he also directly married the county lord Zhou Liyan to Lord Fang, which was the county lord who was favored by both the emperor and the emperor, and it was not worse than the princess, so Doctor Fang was blessed. ”
This little shunzi kept praising Fang Jingshu for his good fortune, but Yun and Fang Mingcheng were a little uncomfortable laughing, nodding casually perfunctorily.
When the couple watched Xiao Shunzi sit in the palace sedan chair and the sedan chair was carried out of their sight, the smiles on the faces of Fang Mingcheng and Yun disappeared all of a sudden.
At this time, the two of them locked their eyebrows with a faint sorrow, and they kept thinking in their hearts, what should they do now?
At this time, Brother Shu has become the master of the county, and he doesn't know what to feel uncomfortable in his heart?
This child has been a long time ago, and the couple has discovered his unusual feelings for Jo'er, and seeing him fall deeper and deeper, the two of them are also worried, and they don't know how to clean it up in the future.
And at this time, the emperor ordered the mandarin duck spectrum randomly, and insisted that the county lord was married to Brother Shu'er, but there was only one Qiao Er in Brother Shu'er's heart, this, if this was known by the county lord, or by the emperor, the consequences of this book brother would be unpredictable, and Qiao'er, if the county lord and the emperor knew that the person who was thinking about Brother Shu'er was Qiao'er, then it would be very unfavorable to Qiao'er.
In this case, it is no wonder that Brother Shu'er can only use wine to kill his sorrows, this child, but he is not willing to suffer at all, so he naturally obeyed the emperor's will and did not let the emperor and the county lord notice anything, but he suffered by himself.
And Fang Dongqiao obviously didn't know what her father was thinking at this time, but she felt sensitive, and her intuition was that the eldest brother was not willing to give this sudden marriage, otherwise, a person who was happy and drunk would not be the same as a person who was unhappy and drunk.
Fang Dongqiao has been with her eldest brother Fang Jingshu for so long, and some changes in the details of this eldest brother can't escape her eyes, so at this time, she is also very worried, worried about the problem that has been ignored by her, but at this time, she has to face it squarely.
She never dared to think about the dialogue that night, the conversation between the eldest brother and Rong Ruochen, the conversation between them both liked him, she always wanted to pretend to be confused, pretend not to know, and continue to be confused, but at this moment, the eldest brother was suddenly married.
The object of marriage turned out to be the county lord Zhou Liyan, the woman she admired very much, although she didn't meet many times and didn't talk to each other much, but she knew that the county lord was a person who valued love and righteousness.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been helping the eldest princess for so many years to run around for the affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince; She is also a person who discerns between right and wrong, and is extremely measured in her actions against people and things, and is a chivalrous county lord who distinguishes between good and evil in the eyes of the people.
Therefore, such a county lord married to her eldest brother, it stands to reason that she is worthy of a talented and beautiful champion like her eldest brother, and if they stand together, they can be called golden boys and girls, and they are very matched.
