Chapter 850 Wife Slave
As time went by, the itching symptoms on Hao Ge'er's body became less and less severe, and more and more scabs on his body fell off.
On this day, after Dr. Jian checked Brother Hao's pulse, he said to Yu Xi with a smile on his face: "Princess, in four or five days, my son will recover." Being cured means that you can go out. Go to bed again.
Yuxi nodded and said, "That's good."
Doctor Jian thought for a while and said: "Princess, you look very bad, let me show you!" Yuxi's face was pale and haggard, looking very bad.
Yu Xi shook her head and said, "No, I know my own body well, but I'm tired. When Ah Hao recovers, I will take a good rest for a while."
Tong Fang said from the side: "Princess, let Dr. Jian have a look!" Yuxi's complexion was very bad after taking care of the eldest son day and night for more than half a month, and being frightened.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "No need. By the way, hurry up and let someone tell the good news to the prince, don't let the prince worry."
Knowing that Brother Hao is recovering soon, Yun Qing finally no longer has a face that could freeze to death: "After Ah Hao comes out, I will pick up Brother Rui and the others."
Xu Wu smiled and said: "The rain is finally over." During this time, each of them was out of breath because of Brother Hao's illness. It's all right now, Brother Hao is finally healed, and they can sleep soundly.
Xu Daniu said outside: "My lord, the governor of Jiangnan has a booklet." Now they are all called official names, not personal names anymore.
Yun Qing opened the booklet, and saw that there was a letter inside. Putting the folder aside, Yunqing opened the letter first. After reading the letter, Yun Qing asked Xu Wu: "Do you know that Uncle Huo rushed back to Hao City from Jinling?" He had never heard Xu Wu mention it.
Xu Wu shook his head and said: "Last time I replied that he would take Yu Xin to Xiayi to meet Huo Yan, and then come back together. Why, the foster father came back from Jinling?"
Yun Qing put down the letter and said, "Uncle Huo hurried back when he heard that Brother Hao had smallpox."
This was within Xu Wu's expectation: "The adoptive father loves Brother Hao the most, and it is not impossible that he will hurry back after knowing this matter." Because of this, he dared not tell Huo Changqing about it, for fear that he would Come back no matter what.
Yun Qing thought for a while and said, "Uncle Huo is old and can't bear the fatigue of long-distance travel. Send someone to send a letter to Uncle Huo immediately, don't let him worry."
Xu Wu hurriedly responded.
At this time, Huo Changqing had already arrived in Yangzhou. If he was young, such a long time would have been enough for him to rush back to Pickaxe City from Jinling. But now I am too old to stand the bumps, let alone stay up late.
Huo Changqing wanted to leave at night, but Ade blocked him. In addition, the guards around him were all on Ade's side, so Huo Changqing had no choice but to let them go.
It was getting dark, and a group of people arrived at the ancient county under Yangzhou. Immediately, the group rested at the inn in Gu County.
Meals are delivered directly to the house. Huo Changqing looked at the food on the table, he had no appetite at all: "It's been so many days, I don't know how Brother Hao is doing?"
Ade put a piece of meat from the belly of the fish into Huo Changqing's bowl, and said, "Don't worry, the old man, the son will be fine."
Huo Changqing said angrily: "How do you know?" Unexpectedly, Lin Lao was restrained by a fool. Huo Changqing resented Ade for preventing him from traveling overnight.
Ade put a piece of braised pork into his mouth, chewed and said, "Old man, you said it yourself, the son is the reincarnation of the emperor star. Since the son is the emperor star, no matter what happens, he can save the day." Ade's voice It was too big, just overheard by the waiter serving the soup.
Huo Changqing recalled the vision of Brother Hao when he was born,
Feel at ease. Before he could speak, he saw Xiao Er at the door, and immediately frowned and said, "Did you hear what we said just now?"
Xiao Er knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, my lord." He wished he hadn't heard this!
Ade swallowed the braised pork, and said with a big mouth: "Old man, I heard it when I heard it, and this is not a bad thing." People with simple minds also have simple thoughts.
Huo Changqing deeply regretted it at this time, why did he slip his tongue in front of this bastard that day! But it's a bit of a fuss to kill people for this matter. Huo Changqing said: "As long as you can control your mouth, I can spare your life."
Xiaoer kowtowed and said: "Don't worry, nobleman, this small matter will rot in your stomach, and you won't tell anyone a word." At the moment, he only wants to save his life, so he dares to think about other things.
Huo Changqing winked at the chief guard at the door. The head of the guard nodded, and then lifted Xiao Er up like a chicken. Just a few light words can't make Huo Changqing feel at ease. Xiao Er must be taught a profound lesson, so that he will not dare to speak freely. It's also because Huo Chang's heart softened when he was old. If he was young, he would definitely solve Xiao Er. In this way, there will be no future troubles.
After Xiaoer took him away, Huo Changqing looked at Ade with an innocent face, and said angrily: "In the future, don't talk anymore outside." To say such a confidential matter in front of everyone is only brainless Only people would do such a thing.
Older people don't like people with too complicated thoughts, so Huo Changqing deliberately chose A De, a simple-minded person, to accompany him. In the end, he was cheated by this bastard.
Ade said: "Okay, then I won't talk outside." After finishing speaking, Ade looked at Huo Changqing and said, "Is it okay to eat now?" After eating dry food for two consecutive days, it is rare to eat warm food The food, and the food in this restaurant is still very good, only a little worse than Mama Bai's.
Huo Changqing raised his chopsticks and said, "Eat, let's eat." Ade's appetite is very good, and he needs three big bowls of rice for one meal. Of course, it was also because of this that Huo Changqing liked to eat with him. It would be very appetizing to eat with such a person.
On the morning of the third day, Huo Changqing got the news that Brother Hao was fine. Huo Changqing couldn't help muttering: "It's fine, it's fine."
Ade said next to him: "Master, I have already said that the son is fine, you are completely worried." Ade is really not worried at all, he eats well and sleeps soundly every day.
Huo Changqing said angrily: "If they are all like you, then nothing will happen." People with simple minds live easily.
Passing by a small town at noon, Huo Changqing ordered to go down and rest in the town. As he got older, Huo Changqing was already too tired to be on the road for several days. Before, he was worried about Brother Hao's illness and had been struggling. Now that he knew that Brother Hao was fine, he was not in a hurry to go back. He was going to be here Take a break for two days and take it easy.
After Yun Qing got the news, he was relieved knowing that Huo Changqing was fine.
Xu Wu hesitated for a while and said, "My lord, the adoptive father said that he wants to raise Yu Xin himself. My lord, what do you think about this?" After getting along for more than a month, Huo Changqing has developed a relationship, so Huo Changqing wants to raise Yu Xin himself, which is also good for the child's growth. favorable.
Yun Qing didn't agree immediately: "I have to discuss this matter with the princess first." He naturally had no objection, but if Yu Xi disagreed, it would be difficult for Yu Xin to live in the palace. Yun Qing didn't want to make Yu Xi unhappy because of Yu Xin.
Xu Wu was stunned for a moment, and said, "It should be." It felt like the prince was about to become a wife and slave.
He didn't dare to show anything in the palace, but he no longer concealed his emotions when he returned home.
Seeing that Xu Wu's face was not right, Ling quickly asked, "Master, what's the matter? Is the eldest son not well?"
Xu Wu shook his head and said, "No. In a few days, the Shizi will recover."
Ling couldn't understand now, and asked, "If that's the case, why is the master so frowning? But what embarrassing thing did you encounter?"
Martial Xu said something about Yu Xin: "I didn't expect the lord to ask the concubine's opinion on such a trivial matter?" This shows that in the lord's mind, the concubine's status is higher than that of the foster father. This made Xu Wu feel very uncomfortable.
Ling thought about it in her heart, and then said: "Master, the princess is the mistress of the palace, and it is right for the prince to ask her opinion. Besides, Yu Cong's death has something to do with the princess. If the princess has a lump in her heart , it’s not good to put that child in the palace.”
That's what I said, but my heart is still blocked. In the past, the prince respected the foster father the most, no matter what the foster father said, he would listen. But now, everything depends on the concubine, and the foster father has to lean back.
Ling looked at Xu Wu's appearance, thought for a while and said: "If the adoptive father really wants to raise the child, and the princess doesn't want the child to stay in the palace, then please invite the adoptive father to live in our mansion. Master, look at this it is good?"
Xu Wu wished that Huo Changqing would live in his house, but he knew in his heart that this was impossible: "The adoptive father is reluctant to part with the princess and the son. If the princess does not agree to keep Yu Xin in the palace, the adoptive father will definitely back down. I have raised Yu Xin." In the eyes of the adoptive father, Yu Xin is not as important as the eldest princess and the eldest son.
Ling said with relief: "In that case, let Yu Xin be raised by Sister-in-law Feng according to the previous agreement! Sister-in-law Feng has a good temperament and patience, and she will definitely be able to raise Yu Xin just like Zhi Ao Zhixi and the others. Alright." Feng Dajun's two sons, Feng Zhiao can be selected as the eldest son's accompanying reading ability and character, needless to say, even the youngest son Zhixi is also very motivated.
Xu Wu nodded slightly.
Ling thought for a while and said: "My lord, the righteous father has shown great kindness to the lord, but the concubine has worked hard. In fact, it is quite difficult for the lord." She already knew why Xu Wu felt uncomfortable. It's nothing more than feeling that the prince favors the concubine and doesn't value Huo Changqing anymore.
Xu Wu smiled wryly and said: "I also know that the prince is difficult to do, but I just feel panicked in my heart."
Ling shi weighed it in her heart, and said: "My lord, to say something unpleasant, it is the concubine who will accompany the lord until he grows old, not the adoptive father. Besides, this is a trivial matter, and the lord probably didn't think about it that much." Ling shi thought Clearly, in Xu Wu's mind, Huo Changqing is more important than her, so he hopes the prince can do the same. When expectations fail, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
Regarding this, Ling Shi did not feel uncomfortable at all. Because Xu Wu treated Huo Changqing like his father. There is no comparison between this daughter-in-law and her father. If you want to compete with each other, you are looking for abuse.
Xu Wu smiled wryly, and said, "Don't talk about it. By the way, has the Zhen family been honest recently? Haven't you made trouble with Ruoyuan again?" Ling Ruoyuan listened to Xu Wu's suggestion and invited the elders of the clan to come forward and let the Zhen family Don't dare to make trouble anymore. In order to prevent people from talking, he rented a courtyard for Zhen Shi, and sent an old woman and a little maid to serve her. expenses.
Originally, it was fine, but a few days ago, the two children born to the Zhen family took refuge in her. Food and clothing costs are fixed, and Ling Ruoyuan's daughter-in-law doesn't give more just because there are two more people. Zhen Shi found Ling Ruoyuan again for the sake of the next two sons, and even asked Ling Ruoyuan to find a job for the two younger brothers.
Ling's was terribly tired of Zhen's: "She can make trouble if she wants to! Even if the trouble goes to the sky, no one will say that there is nothing wrong with Ruoyuan not raising the Zeng family's son." There was a coldness in the words. Such a mother might as well die.
Xu Wu thought for a while and said: "It's not a problem to continue like this. Has Ruoyuan ever thought about finding a foreign job? If he goes to another place to work, it will be beneficial to his official career, and secondly, he can get rid of the Zhen family." Ling Ruoyuan will then Taking his wife and children to work abroad, and coming back in ten or eight years, who knows if Mrs. Zhen is still alive.
Ling naturally wanted her younger brother to find a foreign job, but she couldn't talk to Xu Wu about it. Now that Xu Wu speaks by himself, Ling will naturally not miss the opportunity: "Master, do you think it would be better for Ruoyuan to work in that place?"
Xu Wu said: "Yunnan and Guangxi have conquered more than half of the territory. If you are not afraid of hardship, you can find a job in these two places. After serving for three to five years, you will be transferred back. It will be easy to get promoted at that time."
Ling said with a smile, "I'll ask Ruoyuan tomorrow." Both Guangxi and Yunnan are very backward places, and many people don't want to go there. Of course, many people don't want to go to those two places mainly because they are afraid that it will be difficult to come back after going there. But Ling Ruoyuan has Xu Wu as his brother-in-law, so he doesn't worry if he will go or not come back.
Xu Wu thought for a while and explained: "It's okay to find a foreign job in Jiangnan, but if you go to Jiangnan, you can get a flat transfer at most. But if you go to Yunnan, you can at least get a promotion. Where he wants to go, he has thought it through and let me know." To my brother-in-law It is not difficult for Xu Wu to find a foreign job.
Ling said: "Let him make his own decision." Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
After Ling Ruoyuan considered for a long time, he still chose Jiangnan. One is that Yunguang and Guangxi have not yet settled down and it is too dangerous; the other is that Jiangnan is a rich and prosperous place, the place where officials most want to go.
If Ling Shi had a choice, she would choose to go to Yunnan or Guangxi, because it would be beneficial to her official career. So after hearing what Ling Ruoyuan said, Ling asked: "Have you considered it? It must have been decided, so there is no room for turning around?"
Ling Ruoyuan nodded and said: "Sister, I have seriously considered it, and I will go to Jiangnan." Not only Ling Ruoyuan wanted to go to Jiangnan, but his wife Zhao also wanted to go to Jiangnan.
The younger brother is not a son after all, seeing that he has made a decision, Ling said nothing more: "Okay, I will tell your brother-in-law about this later." (To be continued)
