Chapter 1303 609 Silence

Early in the morning, a small yard with three entrances in the west of Luoyue City welcomed several waves of guests. The people living nearby knew that a doctor lived here, but they only thought that the visitors were all here to seek medical treatment. After taking a look, I didn't care too much.

"Squeaky-"

With the sound of the door opening, a blue-covered carriage and a tall horse were introduced into the house by the rough old woman.

"Doctor Wu, Brother Han."

Nangong Yue had already arrived, and smiled and greeted guests in the courtyard with Lin Jingchen.

It was Imperial Physician Wu and Han Huaijun who came.

When Han Huaijun dismounted, he looked at Nangong Yue without a trace, and Nangong Yue nodded slightly at him, and the two exchanged a knowing look silently.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Imperial Physician Wu couldn't wait to say to Lin Jingchen: "Dr. Lin, it is rare to have the opportunity to meet with D. Lin in the southern border, thousands of miles away. In addition to the condition of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, the old man also has some questions about it. If I have doubts about medical theory, I want to discuss it with a genius doctor.”

Thinking that it was the same when Imperial Physician Wu met Lin Jingchen for the first time, and refused to waste any time, Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Dr. Wu, it's not too late to sit down and talk." After speaking, she glanced in the direction of the hall, and then He suggested, "Grandfather, Imperial Physician Wu, shall we go to the study to discuss in detail?"

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Wu's eyes lit up, and he thought: There must be a lot of medical books in Lin Shenyi's study, as well as his medical notes and experiences. The princess is a good idea!

Imperial Physician Wu said hello a little eagerly, and then ordered the medicine boy: "Atractylodes, quickly bring the medicine box and pulse case on the carriage."

"Grandfather, Imperial Physician Wu, then you can go first." Nangong Yue said, "The dim sum I just made in the kitchen must be almost ready, I'll go take a look first."

Lin Jingchen naturally knew her intentions, smiled and stroked his beard, and led Imperial Physician Wu to the study. After a short distance of several tens of feet, the two of them were already talking about medical classics, and they looked at the back. Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing.

After watching Lin Jingchen and Taiyi Wu enter the study, Nangong Yue retracted her gaze and shouted in the direction of the main room, "Sister Xia."

Before the words fell, a girl in a blue dress had already stepped over the threshold.

Han Huaijun looked at Han Qixia in disbelief. In fact, after Fu Yunyan returned to the capital, Jiang Yixi made a special trip to the palace of the eldest princess Yongyang. From Fu Yunyan's mouth, Han Huaijun and his wife learned a lot about Han Qixia's recent situation.

But hearing it, and seeing it with your own eyes, is shocking!

Han Qixia has changed so much! Like a new born!

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time, their eyes were reddish. At this moment, there is quite a feeling of being close to the nostalgia.

After a while, Han Qixia pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Brother, come in and sit."

Han Qixia turned sideways to make a petition, and Han Huaijun was stunned again. Then she lifted her robe and entered the main room.

Guessing that the two of them must have a lot to say, Nangong Yue has long since avoided it, and took Baihui to Lin Jingchen's study, and naturally did not forget the snacks prepared in advance.

It was quiet in the study, Lin Jingchen and Imperial Doctor Wu were sitting by the window across a table, Lin Jingchen was carefully looking at page by page with a stack of pulse charts given by Imperial Doctor Wu.

After Nangong Yue entered the room, she picked up the pulse case that Lin Jingchen had already read and looked at it page by page, while Baihui neatly served refreshments to everyone.

For a while, there was only the sound of paper flipping in the room, rustling...

I don't know how long it took, Lin Jingchen finally put down the last pulse case in his hand, and both Nangong Yue and Imperial Physician Wu looked at him subconsciously.

Lin Jingchen stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and asked Imperial Physician Wu about the fifth prince's condition.

The imperial physician Wu answered one by one, including the analysis and speculation of several imperial physicians.

Although both Nangong Yue and Imperial Physician Wu knew that the fifth prince's situation was very bad, at this moment, seeing Lin Jingchen's solemn expression, their hearts sank.

After another brief silence, Lin Jingchen pondered: "Judging from the symptoms of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, there are nine out of ten cases of congestion in the brain."

He also agreed with the diagnosis results of the Taiyuan Hospital, and then added: "In this case, it is best to apply acupuncture, combined with medicine and massage. But I have not seen the patient with my own eyes, so it is difficult to accurately apply acupuncture..." After that, he continued. He stroked his beard, "Well, here I have a set of acupuncture diagrams. Although it can't resolve the blood congestion in His Highness the Fifth Prince's brain, it can relieve his headache..."

Imperial Physician Wu hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I also ask Shen Physician Lin for advice!"

Next, with Yaotong Baizhu as the "patient", Lin Jingchen pointed to the acupuncture points on his head and explained it to Imperial Doctor Wu in detail, while Baihui quickly wrote and recorded.

Nangong Yue listened attentively, and felt that this time, she had benefited a lot. Compared with his grandfather, his medical skills are still far behind!

At the moment of concentration, time passed quickly, until the poor Bai Zhu's stomach growled, and several people in the study came back to their senses.

Imperial Physician Wu was a little amused, while Bai Zhu's face turned red.

However, Lin Jingchen didn't care, and greeted the cakes for Baizhu with a smile, and said: "Doctor Wu, I have never heard of Baiyue's Wuhe paste, nor have I seen it. If it is possible, can I wait until I get it Get some and see with me?"

For Imperial Physician Wu, this was just a little effort, and he hurriedly responded. What's more, Imperial Physician Wu was also very curious about what this Wuhe ointment was.

Seeing that it was almost noon outside, Imperial Physician Wu got up and said goodbye.

When he came to the yard, Han Huaijun was waiting there.

Nangong Yue personally escorted Imperial Physician Wu and Han Huaijun out. When the door of Lin's house was closed, Han Qixia came from the house and looked at the closed door reluctantly.

Nangong Yue smiled and said, "Sister Xia, Brother Han should stay in Luoyue City for a few days. If you want to see him, it's not difficult."

Han Qixia breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to let go of something again. Her eyes became clearer and indifferent, and said, "Big brother told me just now that he and his sister-in-law should move out of Prince Qi's mansion soon and live separately."

Nangong Yue was stunned. She had long guessed that Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi would move out of Prince Qi's mansion sooner or later, but this day came earlier than she expected.

"That's fine!" Han Qixia said almost with a sigh, her expression extremely complicated.

Just now, Han Huaijun told her some things that had happened in Prince Qi's mansion for more than half a year, one after another, making Han Qixia almost unwilling to believe her ears——

For example, Fang Cifei, also known as Fang Ziteng, the King of Qi, gave birth to three sons for King Qi a few months ago.

For example, more than two months ago, Prince Qi's heir was almost accused of being sent to Jingzhao Mansion because of an affair with others. Later, Princess Qi sent hundreds of taels of silver to the plaintiff's family to let the other party and his wife divorce, and then the settlement was settled.

for example……

Han Qixia felt heavy in her heart, she didn't understand how her home could become like that...so filthy!

No, in other words, since the father and king treated the eldest brother and the eldest brother's biological mother like that, it was already doomed that the roots of Prince Qi's mansion would rot!

Even if she is still in the capital at the moment, she is powerless to change all this, whether it is the father, the mother, or the second brother, they will not listen to her.

Han Qixia's hands clenched into fists in her sleeves and gave a wry smile.

No matter how chaotic or absurd Prince Qi's mansion is, the father is the emperor's direct younger brother. Unless there is a rebellion, he can always preserve the glory of Prince Qi's mansion! She didn't have to bother about them either.

"Sister Xia..." Seeing Han Qixia's complicated expression, Nangongyue took her hand and looked at her worriedly, vaguely guessing that Han Huaijun must have said something about Prince Qi's mansion that bothered Han Qixia.

"I'm fine." Han Qixia smiled calmly. She has already chosen "death escape" and chose to leave that house, what else can she think about!

Han Qixia regained her composure, and remembered another incident. She held Nangong Yue's hand and said, "Yue'er, when I asked my brother about Fan's condition just now, he also told me something..."

What about His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince? Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Han Qixia.

Han Qixia continued: "Uncle Royal thinks that cousin Fan will fall off the Temple of Heaven, and the eldest prince is behind the scenes! Before they appeared, the eldest prince was already banned and ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate."

For Han Qixia, the fifth prince and the eldest prince are her cousins, and they are all related by blood. Although the Tian family has no kinship, she knows that in order to win the heir, several princes may embark on a life-and-death road, but When this moment came, she still felt a little bitter.

Childhood time, the beauty of the past... After all, they are insignificant in front of rights and desires!

The storm about the position of supremacy is about to come!

And they are in the far southern border, can they survive this? !

Han Qixia felt as if a hill was pressed against her heart, and she could hardly breathe. She couldn't help but glanced at the sky in the south, and secretly prayed that Fu Yunhe would go well in Dengli City...

"Don't worry, Sister Fei." Nangong Yue saw what she was thinking, took her hand, and said confidently, "Ayi and Ahe, they will be fine, and they will return triumphantly soon! "

Han Qixia nodded vigorously, with great conviction.

By the time Nangong Yue returned to Bixiao Hall, it was almost time for Shen Shi.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, Queer first talked about putting up his clothes and sending a message to greet him, and then excitedly said: "Prince Prince, there are flying pigeons to pass the book."

Nangong Yue's eyes lit up, her face glowed with brilliance, and she smiled, "Quickly bring it to me."

Taking the silk paper that Que'er handed over, Nangong Yue leaned on the pillow of the beauty's couch and couldn't wait to unfold it.

The letter was indeed sent by Xiao Yi.

In the past two years, Xiao Yi has often gone on expeditions, but no matter where he is, a letter will be delivered every three or five days. Only this time, because she went deep into the enemy's hinterland, she hadn't received a letter from him for a long time, and she couldn't write to him.

The handwriting on the letter is the one that Nangong Yue is most familiar with.

Xiao Yi first reported safety, and then mentioned what he had seen and heard along the way, and said that the scenery of the capital of Nanliang is very good. When the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, he will take Nangong Yue over to go to the spring...

The smile on Nangong Yue's lips grew stronger and stronger.

Xiao Yi would never lie to her, thinking about it, the war will end soon...and it will be completely over!

Nangong Yue read the letter several times and carefully received it in a small box.

As soon as she closed the box, Thrush picked up the curtain and entered the room, bowed her knees and said, "Prince Concubine, the eldest girl is here." After a pause, she added, "I also brought a food box."

The food box... Nangong Yue recalled something, smiled, got up and said, "Welcome the eldest girl to the Dongji room."

After Xiao Fei and Nangong Yue saw the ceremony, they brought the food box to her in person, "Sister-in-law, I just made the plum blossom cake, and I sent it to you. Also, this is the plum blossom candy sauce I made, which can be used as a snack. , can also be used to brew sweet tea."

Her tone was light, but she couldn't hide the brilliance in her eyes, like a child showing off her works.

Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing in her heart, and immediately ordered Thrush to make tea and use those plum blossom cakes with Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei has always been able to study things, although she used to be dismissive of cooking, but if she really wants to start learning, she will be more serious than anyone else. The meringue, or the sweet and savory plum sugar sauce, is impeccable and appetizing.

Nangong Yue finished eating a piece of cake in one breath, sipped the hot tea and said, "Sister Fei, your plum blossom cake is really appetizing, why don't you give a plate to your grandfather and your second brother..."

When she heard Xiao Luan, Xiao Fei, who was holding a tea cup in her hand, had a strange expression.

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows to show her doubts, Xiao Fei's lips curled slightly, and she said meaningfully: "The second brother doesn't need it. I went to the second brother just now, and he had someone send him a flower cake long ago. It's from the Zhou Mansion."

Of course, Zhou Roujia sent it from Zhou Mansion. Nangong Yue also raised the corners of her mouth. It seemed that the straw eagle that Xiao Luan gave was a good start, and Zhou Roujia returned the gift to him.

In any case, it will be a good start for this marriage...

"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue said as she stood up, "then let's bring cakes to grandfather together."

Xiao Fei was about to respond when she thought of something and said, "sister-in-law, I want to go to the small garden to cut a few plum blossoms and put them in the house for my grandfather. Now the plum blossoms are blooming so well, but it's cold outside, and my grandfather's body is not healthy. No, there's no wind, and I can't go to the garden to enjoy the plums, so I think it's good to be able to enjoy them in the house."

Xiao Fei wanted the other party's grandfather to be filial. Of course, Nangong Yue would not stop him. He was more than happy to see it succeed.

So, after leaving the yard, Xiao Fei took Taoyao to the direction of the garden, while Nangong Yue went straight to Tingyu Pavilion, thinking in her heart: Grandfather's soothing soup has been drinking for a few days, and she I'll ask the old man a Ping An pulse later to see if we need to adjust the recipe...

While thinking, Tingyu Pavilion appeared in front, and Nangong Yue was introduced into Dongci Room by the little maid of Tingyu Pavilion.

I never thought that Mrs. Fang had a visitor today - it was Mr. Zhao.

Since Mr. Zhao is here, it must be Mr. Fang who wants to discuss the business of the Fang family with him. Nangong Yue was about to avoid it when Mr. Fang greeted Mr. Fang, "Ayue, you happened to be here, and I was going to call you."

Director Zhao stood aside and glanced at Nangong Yue without a trace. He didn't have much contact with this prince concubine, that is, he had a few encounters with Yucheng, but it was enough. Just relying on the prince concubine to take care of the old man day by day, the spirit and health of the old man, and for Zhao Daguan The words were enough to convince him.

"I have seen the prince." Director Zhao bowed respectfully, and the number of etiquette standards was decent. This bow was not only respectful, but also thankful.

Nangong Yue smiled and said, "No gift."

After Nangong Yue sat down on the armchair, Mrs. Fang said again, "Old Zhao, tell me and Ah Yue."

On that day, after listening to Nangongyue talking about the Xiglaishan mine, Mrs. Fang ordered Director Zhao to investigate.

Director Zhao has been in charge of the Fang family's industry for decades, and he knows the Fang family's mines well. After receiving the order, he immediately went to check the account books of these years, and hurriedly came to report.

"Grandpa, Concubine," Director Zhao replied with a stern face, "the mine in Siglai Mountain was first discovered in the summer of nineteen years ago. I made a trip. More than 100 long-term workers were hired in that year, and Deputy Director Yuan, under Wu Guanshi, was solely responsible for mining matters. About four months later, Deputy Director Yuan came to report to Xiao Xiao that it was an iron ore, but the ore vein was very Barren, can be classified as C."

There are many veins in the Fang family. All along, only the veins above the second-class need to be reported to Mr. Fang for personal disposal.

However, after four months of mining, even the salt mine and iron mine reported errors. If there is no strangeness in it, no one will believe it.

"Where is Deputy Director Yuan now?" Mrs. Fang asked in a deep voice.

Director Zhao calmed down, with a hint of bitterness in his tone, and said, "Master Yuan, Deputy Director Yuan is long gone. If you count the days, probably more than a year after returning from Siglai Mountain, one night, Deputy Director Yuan The steward was drunk and accidentally fell into the lake and drowned."

Drowned? !

Nangong Yue was slightly surprised. She glanced at Mrs. Fang, and after obtaining his permission, she asked, "Director Zhao, how about the family of Deputy Manager Yuan?"

"As far as I know, Deputy Steward Yuan has only one son. His only son is very intelligent. He can read and recite poems at the age of three. Deputy Steward Yuan asked the old man for grace and sold his only son's slave status." , Director Zhao seemed to have thought of something and said, "I remember that just before Director Zhao died, he sent his only son to the capital, saying that he had found an academy for him."

According to Dayu's regulations, slaves were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations. Deputy steward Yuan obviously had high expectations for his only son, so he would shamelessly ask Mrs. Fang for grace. Could it be... Nangong Yue pondered and said, "Grandfather, is it possible that someone made the Yuan family's only son to be sent to the academy as a condition for him to hide the salt mine?"

Mrs. Fang nodded and agreed with her guess, "I'm afraid that's right." After speaking, he looked at Director Wu, "Old Zhao, can you bring the account book?"

"Brought it."

Director Zhao took out a few account books from his luggage and presented them to him: "Grandpa, Concubine Shi, this is the account book of the mine in Siglai Mountain over the years. The annual output of the mine is less than 200 stone." With such a small amount of output, this mine has been open for more than ten years.

"Have you been there over the years?" After Mr. Fang asked, he explained to Nangong Yue, "The chief steward in charge of the Fang family's property needs to personally inspect it every five years."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhao was a little ashamed: "Master, after you fell ill, the fourth master said that the Siglaishan mine was too poor, so the younger one should ignore it and do not need to inspect." In his mouth, the fourth master Fang said , is Fang Chengling, the former heir of Grandpa Fang.

First, Deputy Director Yuan was bribed to report the wrong information, and then Fang Chengling came forward to prevent the inspection every five years. In addition, every year, there were ledgers handed over, so that the salt mine in Siglai Mountain was completely concealed. nine years.

Deputy Steward Yuan died, and Fang Chengling became a living dead.

But the clues in front of him clearly show that this matter has nothing to do with Fang Chengling, or even the third room of the Fang family! It's just, to what extent are they involved...

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and asked, "Grandfather, can I take these books back to see?"

Mr. Fang naturally agreed, and Mr. Zhao handed over the ledger to Baihui.

At this moment, the maid came in and said, "Old Master, Concubine Shizi, the eldest girl is here."

Upon seeing this, Director Zhao got up and retire.

Xiao Fei came holding a bunch of wax plums. After bowing to Mrs Fang, she smiled and said, "Grandfather, do you see how well these plum blossoms are blooming? I have already asked Taoyao to go back to Yuebiju to get a celadon vase, and the plum still needs to be paired with a celadon vase, I'll see you later. Come and help you put up all the flowers, we will enjoy the plums and play chess..."

Seeing Xiao Fei's eyes shining brightly and in high spirits, Mrs. Fang laughed and agreed with his beard.

The house was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms and the crisp laughter of the girls, and the original solemnity was swept away...
