Chapter 551: All Good Medicines [Thank You! Thank You Again! I Owe You 40K]
"It shouldn't be! If it was really that serious, Madam Bai wouldn't have brought Gu's son Erlang into the palace."
The lady with the imperial edict beside her smiled and whispered.
"That's right! That's good!"
The lady of Fuchang Marquis nodded in approval.
After everyone in the Gu family sat down, other families in the capital continued to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings.
After about two quarters of an hour
"Your Majesty has arrived~"
The inner official shouted.
The grand court meeting in the outer court had ended, and the emperor and Zhao Fang led the ministers and nobles to the palace where the queen was.
Everyone sitting in the palace stood up.
When the emperor and the ministers and nobles entered the palace, they were in a very good mood!
After entering the palace, most of the people who saw Xu Zaijing standing behind Sun would smile and take another look, or nod with approval.
Zhao Fang, who was following the emperor, smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed after seeing Xu Zaijing.
After sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor waved his hand, and everyone in the hall sat down again under the shouts of the eunuchs.
Then, the emperor asked about the health of several elderly royal nobles with concern, and said: "All of you have stayed up all night, so go home early to rest today, and I won't keep you any longer."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, everyone in the hall stood up, bowed and shouted.
The emperor nodded, and the eunuch beside him hurriedly shouted loudly: "Congratulations!"
After everyone's three cheers of congratulations on the New Year, the emperor led the queen and others to the inner court.
Those who came to the palace to celebrate the New Year left their seats and walked towards the door of the hall in an orderly manner.
When they came in, they came in one by one, but when they left, they went out together, so there was a little congestion at the door of the hall.
The familiar ladies and officials who didn't have time to talk and chat when they entered the palace took this opportunity to come together and talk.
The Chai family master and Xu Minghua were talking together in the front, while Madam Chai and Sun walked side by side.
After stepping over the threshold and leaving the hall, Sun waved to Xu Zaijing, who was holding her nephew at the back.
After Xu Zaijing walked over, Sun said, "You'll know when you see it, it's nothing!"
Madam Chai looked at Xu Zaijing's red mouth and said with concern, "Oh, Jing'er, does it still hurt?"
Chai Zhengzheng, who was talking to Hualan and Xie, also looked at the corner of Xu Zaijing's mouth following his mother's line of sight.
Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head, "Madam, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Dai Ge'er in Xu Zaijing's arms said, "I blew my uncle's mouth, and my uncle doesn't feel any pain anymore."
Hearing this, everyone around laughed.
"What are you talking about? So happy?" The voice of Madam Wu came.
Seeing Yongchang Hou and Madam Wu, Xie, Hualan and Chai Zhengzheng on the side bowed.
When Madam Wu smiled and nodded in greeting, Marquis Yongchang walked to Xu Minghua and bowed to talk, and Liang Han also took the opportunity to stand next to Xu Zaijing.
At this time, the sun had risen, and the bright sunshine shone on everyone.
Everyone continued to talk and walked out of the palace.
On the way out of the palace, perhaps because of the obstruction of the palace, there was a chaotic wind from time to time, blowing the various incense smells around into Xu Zaijing's nose.
Among them, there was a touch of elegant fragrance, which made Xu Zaijing feel particularly good.
"Brother Jing, how about we go to Panlou to drink later? Feiyuntai next to Panlou has just come to a courtesan who is good at dancing and music."
Xu Zaijing looked at Liang Han and said, "Sixth Brother, you stayed up all night, aren't you sleepy?"
Liang Han shook his head and said, "No!"
Looking at Xu Zaijing's scrutinizing eyes, Liang Han glanced at the people in front of him and whispered, "I dozed off for more than two hours last night."
Xu Zaijing smiled, "No wonder."
"Uncle, what is a courtesan?" Xu Xingdai asked with confusion in his eyes.
Hugging his nephew, Xu Zaijing said, "Children should not ask about adults' affairs."
"Oh~!"
"Who else is going?"
Liang Han's eyes lit up, and he exhaled white air from his mouth and smiled, "Brother Jing, if you go, there will be many people who want to go!"
In the crowd in front, Chai Zhengzheng, who was walking side by side with Hualan Xie, moved his ears, turned back and looked at Liang Han, who was looking happy, with an ambiguous look.
Afterwards, Liang Han jumped around in the crowd leaving the palace like a bee, and soon pulled a group of noble officials and sons together to go to Panlou.
After leaving the inner court,
the families living on the east and west sides of the imperial city were preparing to turn and walk towards Donghuamen or Xihuamen.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhengzheng, the best sugarcane will be sent when the time comes!"
"Thank you, madam!"
Chai Zhengzheng said with a smile.
Xie waved her hand: "It's just a matter of a word, and it's not worth Miss Zhengzheng's thanks."
Chai Zhengzheng smiled, looked at his mother and Sun who separated in front, and said: "Then, Zhengzheng will take his leave first."
Hualan and Xie nodded with a smile, and Hualan said: "Miss Zhengzheng, come to the mansion to play when you are free."
After Chai Zhengzheng bowed slightly, he smiled and nodded to Xu Zaijing who was holding his nephew, and then walked a few steps to Madam Chai.
Behind the crowd, the family of Fuchang Hou, who was talking to the Dou family of Fuguogong, also said goodbye to their in-laws here.
Rong Feiyan followed behind, so it was much easier to see people, and she didn't have to look back like Chai Zhengzheng.
After parting with the Dou family, the Chai family turned east and walked towards Donghua Gate. When they were about to leave Donghua Gate, an eunuch ran up and shouted:
"Marquis Rong, stay!"
After everyone in the Rong family stopped, the young eunuch trotted forward carrying a wooden box, bowed his hands and said, "Ronghou, this is what Concubine Rong ordered the slaves to bring to Miss Feiyan."
"Oh! Yan'er, pick it up quickly." Marquis Fuchang said.
"The official thanked the empress for me." Rong Feiyan said as she took the wooden box.
"My slave, please excuse me. Please retire."
"Internal officer, move slowly."
Looking at the young eunuch leaving, Rong Feiyan held the wooden box in his hands, turned around and continued walking out.
After leaving the palace,
"What did your sister give you?"
Madam Fu Changhou turned around and looked at her daughter and asked.
Rong Feiyan shook her head and said, "Mom, let's talk about it when we get home."
Mrs. Fuchang Hou nodded: "Yes! I think it's probably a precious medicine for your sister-in-law to have a fetus."
Marquis Fuchang on the side said: "If what you are talking about has been given to your mother-in-law a long time ago, how could it be given to Yan'er?"
"I" Madam Fuchanghou was speechless.
Got into his carriage,
Rong Feiyan handed the wooden box to Xibu, took the hand warmer from Ningxiang, felt the warmth in her palms, and sighed happily.
"Open it and see what it is."
After Rong Feiyan finished speaking, she carefully placed the wooden box on her knees, unlocked the lock and opened the wooden box.
"Girl, look at the words on it, it seems to be medicinal wine that can activate blood circulation and reduce swelling."
"Let me see."
Rong Feiyan stretched out his hand and said.
Taking the delicate porcelain bottle and looking at the writing on it, Rong Feiyan sighed sadly and said, "His family is the Marquis Mansion, so he has good medicine. How can I give it to him!"
"Second Young Master?"
Xinbu said softly from the side.
Rong Feiyan pursed her lips and nodded: "Well, I can only rely on my brother."
From the first to the third day of the first lunar month, the government of the Great Zhou Dynasty opened the gates for three days.
so,
When Xu Zaijing reported to his parents outside Xuande Gate and went to Panlou with Liang Han and others, there were many shouts from vendors or shop assistants on both sides of the road, calling for customers.
Seeing Xu Zaijing and his group of young men from a distinguished family, the shouts of the servants suddenly became louder.
"Look! Look! The coconut container produced on Guangnan West Road! It can be used to hold water or wine!"
Hearing this shout, Xu Zaijing, who was riding on the back of the little Liju, came over on his horse.
Looking at the tall little horse with a precious bridle inlaid with jade, the vendor said with a smile on his face: "Ya Nei, do you have a look?"
Xu Zaijing reached out to take it, looked at the coconut shell carved into a bowl shape, and said with a smile: "Stall owner, do you have any unopened coconuts here? The book says that this coconut milk tastes very sweet."
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!
"Going back to Yameni, when the coconut was first picked, the juice inside was sweet and delicious! But after being transported to Bianjing for three thousand miles, the juice inside has already changed its flavor, and there is no such thing here."
Xu Zaijing nodded and said to Qingyun: "Buy a few and treat them as new toys."
"yes!"
As he spoke, Qingyun began to take out the money and said: "Sir, it's a pity that Alan didn't come with you today, otherwise"
Xu Zaijing in front smiled slightly.
Entering Panlou Zheng Street, there are many Guanpu sheds set up in the middle of the street, and there is an endless stream of Guanpu people around.
Everyone did not linger, but went directly into Pan Tower.
Because the earth dragon was burning, the temperature inside and outside Panlou was completely different.
There are musicians playing again on the first floor, and the beautiful sound of silk and bamboo wind music is floating in the building.
Everyone went up to the second floor and saw tables set up not far away from the Feiyuntai Hongqiao. A female musician was greeting the guests. The thing they were waiting for was a spring night for the Feiyuntai girls.
Seeing this scene, several people in the group went over there and paid for them several times. Among them were Liang Han and the limping Gu Tingye.
Afterwards, everyone entered the private room under the guidance of Dr. Chajiu.
After serving various dried fruit preserves,
Xu Zaijing did not drink, but drank tea and talked with the noble officials and officials who came with him.
Of course, the topic that everyone talked about the most was the incident when Xu Zaijing went to Beiliao Post House and caused a big fuss.
Looking at Xu Zaijing who was calmly cracking melon seeds, Qiao Jiulang came over with tea and said: "Brother Xu Wu, I've also heard about the reward in Wuyou Cave. Don't you worry about the food and drink?" question?"
Zheng Xiao on the side said with a straight face: "Jiulang, Brother Jing, what is he afraid of? He eats and drinks just like us! If something happens, we will all be with you together!"
Qiao Jiulang looked surprised: "Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Heng, who was drinking tea, lagged slightly and placed the tea cup in his hand on the table.
Seeing Qiao Jiulang's frightened expression, Zheng Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha! Jiulang, I'm kidding you! How can Pan Lou open a store in Bianjing if he can't handle this?"
The high-ranking officials and nobles in Bianjing City were walking around, let alone those who were poisoned or not, even if they had diarrhea after eating, Pan Lou would be unable to eat and walk around if he was not careful.
If Panlou doesn't pay attention to food safety, it won't be able to stay open for so long.
Everyone was talking happily.
The children of officials talked more about the imperial examinations, and the children of distinguished nobles talked more about the military. Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye were both able to chime in, making the private room very lively for a while.
And because of Xu Zaijing's commotion in Beiliao Post House, the topic of conversation was mostly how Beiliao would respond to this matter after the spring.
Some people say that Bei Liao was furious and would send troops to the border; others said that Bei Liao would pretend that this incident never happened and continue to deal with the Jin Kingdom.
"Chen Bing's border? I hope Bei Liao will send more troops. Then you can see if the Jin Kingdom pokes its butt!"
When Gu Tingye spoke in an affirmative tone, a son of a civil servant family came to Xu Zaijing's side.
"Xu Wulang, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."
After hearing this, Xu Zaijing stood up, raised the tea cup, and touched Chen Silang in front of him.
This Chen Silang was the son of the Minister of Hubu. He had previously had an argument with Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye about whether it was war or peace with Bai Gao.
After the two of them finished drinking tea, Chen Silang continued: "My father once told me about your stay in Beizhou. If you hadn't turned the tide, the people of my country would have turned to ashes."
Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head: "It's not my fault alone. Erlang and many other soldiers also contributed."
Looking at Xu Zaijing, Chen Silang said in a solemn tone: "Xu Wulang, I admire you very much! You have made such great achievements and yet you can take credit without being arrogant!"
Xu Zaijing smiled: "Maybe I have seen too many things."
Chen Silang looked at Xu Zaijing with some confusion and said, "What's the matter?"
Xu Zaijing patted Chen Silang's arm and said, "It's the Chinese New Year, so let's not talk about those things! Will Silang be taking part in the next imperial examination?"
Chen Silang looked a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't passed the provincial examination yet."
Xu Zaijing was stunned for a moment, then he quickly smiled and said: "Silang, if you work harder, it won't be difficult."
Chen Silang forced out a smile and said, "Wu Lang, when do you and Gu Jia Erlang start reading every day?"
"It's about to start at the right moment."
"No wonder, I'm slacking off."
Afterwards, Chen Silang drank a cup of tea with Gu Tingye.
After drinking tea, Gu Tingye asked Chen Silang again about the imperial examination, either because he didn't hear Xu Zaijing talking to Chen Silang or because he had some grudges in his heart.
After he finished answering, Gu Tingye gave another encouraging words similar to Xu Zaijing's.
Chen Silang, who said it bluntly, regretted having tea with Gu Tingye.
After Chen Silang left a little depressed, another brother from the official family came over. He first offered tea and then said: "Wu Lang, I heard that there are some pure-blooded Haidongqings in the Hou family who come from the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin! If there are some descendants, I don’t know if I can give up my love?”
Seeing Xu Zaijing's somewhat troubled expression, this brother cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Wu Lang. If I can give up my love, I won't let Wu Lang suffer!"
Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "It's okay if there's a chance!"
Hearing this, the brother quickly smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you very much, Wulang. Then I will wait for the good news."
Xu Zaijing nodded.
Later, another noble disciple invited Xu Zaijing to his home for a banquet. Xu Zaijing could only smile and deal with it a few words.
Maybe he heard the news.
During the second half of the gathering, there were also descendants of wealthy merchants who were doing business in the northwest. They came to the private room to toast and get close to each other under the introduction of familiar officials and nobles.
"Yamenei, do you have a concubine in your house? To be honest, I have a concubine in your house."
When the wealthy businessman's brother opened his mouth, Xu Zaijing didn't say much, but other people around him looked at him with a somewhat unkind look.
After thinking about it for a moment, the man hurriedly handed over his hand and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's the villain who violated Meng Lang."
A legitimate son of a marquis, he can be said to have outstanding achievements in martial arts, papers, and he is a young official. As long as there are no accidents, he has a bright future and a long career!
Although this man was a wealthy businessman, it was indeed very rude to tell Xu Zaijing directly about the concubine's intercourse with Meng Lang.
Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded without saying anything.
It was not until the end of the gathering (three o'clock in the afternoon) that the guests and hosts left happily.
When Xu Zaijing returns to Yongyihou Mansion,
When I went to the backyard to 'check in' with my mother, I saw Mrs. Sun and her two sisters-in-law looking a little strange.
Entering your own courtyard,
Then he saw six or seven porcelain vases and jade vases of different styles placed on the table in the hall.
"What is this?"
Xu Zaijing said doubtfully.
Qingcao and Yun Xianghua wanted to look at each other, pursed their lips and said, "Young master, they are all good medicine for healing wounds!"
Hearing this, Xu Zaijing touched the corner of his mouth
