Chapter 220 Spitting Blood (1)
Concubine Song took the lead in soliciting donations, and the wives of officials and rich families in the capital rushed to donate money and materials. Yuxi originally wanted to donate two thousand taels, but knowing that Concubine Song was the one who took the lead, she didn't donate a cent. The more donations, the more prestigious Song Guifei's name. Yuxi didn't want to add to the icing on the cake for Concubine Song.
Speaking of it, Yuxi was particularly puzzled, why the emperor did not make her the empress, nor did he make the nine princes the prince. She also asked Han Jianming this question, but unfortunately, even Han Jianming couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.
Yuxi didn't spend the two thousand taels of silver, but she wanted to make some quilts for these refugees. Two thousand taels, if it was enough to buy 10,000 to 20,000 quilts last year, but now that everything has risen in price, the purchasing power of two thousand taels is only half of what it used to be.
Han Jianming did not agree to spend money to buy quilts: "These courts are already buying them." There is no need for them to donate what the court has bought. Otherwise, it will make people feel that the court is not doing things well.
Yuxi thought for a while and said: "Brother, if you can't buy quilts, then buy some medicinal materials and send them there! It's freezing cold, boil some herbal medicine for them to prevent them from getting sick." Once these refugees get sick, they can't make it through , then you can only wait to die. So Yuxi felt that it was necessary to buy some medicinal materials in the past. Of course, what I bought must be cheap medicinal materials such as preventing wind and cold.
Han Jianming said: "I will let Han Hao do the medicinal materials, but not in your name, or in the name of your mother." Yuxi is the one who attracted the attention of Concubine Song, and she cannot use her name. Otherwise, if Concubine Song misses Yuxi after hearing it, it will be troublesome.
Yuxi is not the name of the picture, but just wants to help these refugees. Back then, she also waited helplessly for others to help her. I still remember the feeling of drinking that bowl of porridge. Now that you have this ability, you should do more.
After Qiu knew about this, she also took out two thousand taels of silver from her private house: "This is also my heart." . Fortunately, Qiu's private house is very rich, and three thousand taels of silver is not too much for her.
Han Jianming is not a person who likes to show off. He submitted a booklet to the emperor and suggested that the court buy some medicinal materials. Of course, Han Jianming knew very well that there would be no results if this paper was accepted, and he was actually expressing his opinion. So seeing that the emperor didn't approve, he asked people to buy some medicinal materials such as isatid root and Huoxiang and sent them outside the city. This move has received a lot of praise.
Not long after, Yuxi heard from the outside that most of the rice sent to the refugees was old rice, and some even had insect eyes. Yuxi was not surprised to hear this rumor: "It was expected." But even Chen Mi, for the refugees, as long as they can fill their stomachs. I just don't know that those who are greedy for money are not afraid of retribution.
On this day, Qiu called Yuxi over and said something to Yuxi. It is said that Mrs. Lu Er has a nephew who is in good condition in all aspects, and Mrs. Lu Er intends to tell Yuxi to him.
Yuxi heard that the other party was Lu Xiu's cousin, blinked her eyes, and asked: "Mother, the second sister-in-law is twenty-one this year, how old is this person?" Since it is the second sister-in-law's cousin, then He must be older than Lu Xiu.
Qiu Shi coughed and said, "The young master of the rich family is twenty-two years old, one year older than your second sister-in-law. But he has been fighting in Liaodong, so he delayed the marriage." Qiu Shi also felt that the other party was a little older , seven years older than Yuxi! It was only later that I felt that being older has its benefits, knowing that it hurts!
Yuxi has no interest, seven years older, which is too much older.
Qiu patted Yuxi's head and said: "It's better to be older, because older ones know how to hurt people. Besides, your eldest brother also thinks that the other party's condition is good, and he said that he can meet someone. If he's not bad looking, you can settle down."
Yu Xi nodded and said: "Mother and elder brother are the ones to decide.
"Yuxi is not at ease with Qiu's vision of people, but she is very at ease with Han Jianming. If the other party does not meet Han Jianming's requirements, it is impossible for Han Jianming to nod.
Qiu Shi is still very satisfied with Yuxi's attitude, she doesn't want to hear Yuxi say that she won't marry. Unless you can't get married, the girl of someone's family will stay at home: "I heard from Mrs. Lu that the third young master of the rich family will come to the capital once in the spring of next year. If your eldest brother thinks that the other party is good, you can make a marriage arrangement." Come down." If the son is interested, then get married quickly, and don't make any more fools.
Yuxi raised her head and asked: "Then will you also go to Liaodong?" Because she knew a lot, Yuxi was a little resistant to Liaodong.
The Qiu family is also reluctant to marry Yuxi out, but it is difficult to find a suitable one in the capital that can satisfy her son because of Yuxi's reputation. If the third young master of the rich family is shunned, no one knows how long it will take to meet the right one. Therefore, as long as the other party is good, marry out and marry out.
It's a pity that Yuxi didn't wait for the son of the rich family, but instead waited for the imperial decree to bestow marriage.
Yuxi was reading a book in the room when she heard Caidie trotting in. He couldn't speak easily, and was so excited: "Girl, the imperial decree, the emperor issued the imperial decree, please go and accept the imperial decree."
Something bad came to Yuxi's mind: "What imperial decree do you accept?" If it's an imperial decree for elder brother, it's a good thing if you can't say it. It would be strange if it was good for her to accept the imperial decree.
Cai Die shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Just as the two were saying this, Qiu rushed over. The emperor issued an imperial decree, and the name and surname were given to Yu Xi, so the Qiu family naturally wanted to come over and point Yu Xi: "What are you doing in a daze, take a shower and change clothes."
To receive the imperial decree, one needs to bathe and change clothes, and burn incense. The main hall of the front yard is already burning incense. Just wait for Yu Xi to pass by.
Yuxi suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, washed up as quickly as possible, and then went to the main hall with Qiu Shi to receive the imperial edict. As soon as he walked into the main hall, he saw a fair and clean eunuch shouting in a shrill voice: "Receive the order."
Yuxi knelt down with Qiu Shi, her head resting on the ground, and she didn't dare to move. Then prick up your ears to listen to the eunuch reading the imperial decree. Then I heard the eunuch read loudly: "By God, the emperor ordered: I heard that Han Yuxi, the sister of Han Guogong, is skillful, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. I am very happy to hear it. Now General Pingbei is getting married. , You should choose a virtuous woman to match with. When Han Yuxi is waiting in Yu's boudoir, he and General Pingbei can be said to be made in heaven and earth. For the beauty of being a beautiful woman, I will make you match General Pingbei as his wife. Immediately go to the northwest to get married, hereby."
When Yuxi heard that she was going to the northwest to get married immediately, she still didn't know that General Pingbei was Yunqing. It's just that she didn't know which song the emperor sang, why did she give her to Yunqing as his wife? She and Yunqing are really incompatible! Also, didn't the big brother say that Yunqing was already looking for an alliance, and this gift of marriage would defeat Yunqing's plan. When the time comes for Yun Qing to vent her anger, she will not be able to say whether she will survive or not.
Qiu Shi was also dumbfounded, who is General Pingbei? Why did the emperor give Yuxi to him as his wife! However, Qiu Shi is old and has a lot of experience, so he quickly realized that the most important thing now is to receive the imperial decree. It will not be too late to find out who this General Ping Bei is. At that moment, she pulled Yuxi's arm. On the surface it was true, but in fact it was pinching, because she saw that Yu Xi was still in a daze.
Yu Xi came back to her senses when she felt pain in her hand, restrained all her thoughts, kowtowed and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Then she stood up and held the imperial decree in both hands.
It was the first time in her two lifetimes that she received the imperial decree, but unfortunately she didn't feel any joy at this time. With this decree, if Concubine Song was not the mastermind behind the scenes, she would be able to wring her head off and kick it like a ball. She thought the matter was over, but it turned out that he hadn't forgotten it at all, and was just looking for a suitable opportunity to punish her! Or Mammy Quan is right, this is what must be vengeful.
The father-in-law said with a fake smile: "It's also the imperial concubine who loves the fourth girl, and specially spoke well for the girl in front of the emperor. Otherwise, how could the fourth girl get such a good marriage."
First he poisoned her twice, and this time he pushed her into the pit of fire, and now he wants her to thank him. I have never seen such a shameless person before. Yuxi used the greatest perseverance to restrain herself, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your great love, the imperial concubine, Yuxi is very grateful."
Qiu finally understood that the imperial decree came with bad intentions. It's just that she still doesn't know who this General Pingbei is.
The eunuch looked at Yu Xi with a genuine smile, but he didn't say anything more, whether it was true or false. Han Yuxi didn't show disgust, but was happy, and he couldn't find fault with it. Immediately snorted, and walked out with the other two young eunuchs.
As soon as the eunuch left, a fishy sweetness gushed out, "vomit..." After vomiting a mouthful of blood, Yuxi fell limply to the ground.
Seeing the bright red ball on the ground, Qiu Shi was horrified, rushed forward and hugged Yuxi, and shouted: "Yuxi, Yuxi, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, get someone to ask for a doctor, hurry up for a doctor..."
The eunuch who issued the imperial decree hadn't gone far, and Qiu's cry was so loud, so he naturally heard it. A smile flashed across the corner of the eunuch's mouth, he was against the imperial concubine, not looking for death or something.
Doctor Bai came over soon, gave Yu Xi the pulse, and then listened to Qiu's detailed description of the scene at that time. Doctor Bai nodded and said: "Don't worry, old lady. Although vomiting blood is scary, it is a good thing for Fourth Miss. After spitting up this blood, Fourth Miss's depression will be dissipated." It's not long, and it's not for the whole team, because it's only for those who are not in good health. Yuxi is in good health, but she is depressed. Doctor Bai also knows where Yuxi's depression comes from, and others can't explain this kind of thing, so he can only figure it out by himself.
Qiu Shi was stunned: "Depressed in heart? My Yuxi has always..." At this point, Qiu Shi showed a look uglier than crying. Although Yuxi retired, she did not show any grief as usual, so she thought she didn't care about it. But he didn't expect that the child deliberately showed indifference in front of her, but the grief was hidden in his heart alone.
Doctor Bai gave Yuxi a few needles, and Yuxi opened her eyes. Looking at Doctor Bai and remembering what happened just now, Yu Xi asked, "Did I faint just now?"
Doctor Bai said: "Young lady vomited blood just now. But this time, young lady is a blessing in disguise. After spitting up this mouthful of blood, the depression in her heart dissipated." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but say a few more words: "Girl, For dozens of years in life, even if you encounter difficulties, you should relax your heart. You must know that no matter how big the hurdle in this world is, it will pass.”
Doctor Bai also watched Yuxi grow up. The first time I saw the fourth girl was when she had smallpox. Doctor Bai also knew what Yuxi had experienced in these years. It can only be said that the fourth girl's luck is really bad, but no matter how bad it is, you have to take care of your body.
Yuxi said sincerely: "Thank you, Doctor Bai."
Doctor Bai nodded his head, and then asked Madam Quan to follow him out. Yuxi is not sick, so there is no need to prescribe medicine, but he has to explain some things that need to be paid attention to. (to be continued)
