Chapter 165: Favor
Chapter 165 Favors
Lu Ziqin let out a long sigh. Why wasn't he worried about the emperor? Where is Gu Huayu now? Stone City or Hongcheng?
Back at the mansion, Lu Ziqin first went to Qingfang Hall to pay his respects to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin learned that the emperor was not sleeping well and was upset that she had used up the elixir.
"Had I known this, I would have stopped and presented the elixirs to the emperor after I got better."
Lu Ziqin comforted him and said, "Grandma, don't be upset. My grandson will try to contact this friend again and ask her for more."
"The emperor's dragon body is related to the country and the country. You should contact your friend earlier, or ask Ruxuan and the others to make a trip and ask him for more. We will spend a lot of money to thank him." Mrs. Qin ordered.
Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, my grandson understands."
Mrs. Ye wanted to talk about Mrs. Ping and Miss Shi San, but when she saw that her son was worried about the emperor's dragon body, she knew that the situation was not right, so she refrained from saying anything.
Lu Ziqin sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Qin knew that he was busy, so she didn't stay too long.
After Lu Ziqin left, Mrs. Ye looked at Mrs. Qian and said, "Aniang, what do you think of the third wife and Ziqin of Shi Mansion?"
Mrs. Qin took a sip of tea and said, "Sanniang is not bad. She is very smart and capable. Have you heard from Ziqin about this matter?"
When mentioning Lu Ziqin’s attitude, Mrs. Ye had a headache, “Ziqin is like a piece of wood, and he seems to have not learned anything about love matters.
After knowing Sanniangzi’s intentions two years ago, I asked Ziqin, and Ziqin asked me not to cause trouble.
Aniang, Ziqin is already so old, and all the servants are serving him.
You tell me, should I arrange two maidservants for him and take them in as a married couple when the time of filial piety comes? "
Mrs. Qin shook her head and said disapprovingly: "You really make trouble. Men of the Ye family do not have **** before marriage and do not take concubines after marriage. Your grandfather is like this, your father is like this, your brother is like this, and you two So does my nephew."
Mrs. Ye lowered her head, "Aren't I afraid that he is ignorant?"
Mrs. Qin sighed, shook her head and said: "Zi Qin has been smart since he was a child, and he has read many and miscellaneous books. How can he be a person who doesn't understand love?"
Mrs. Ye lost her composure and asked: "Auntie, Sanniang is really good. You have seen her now. She is good-looking and has a cheerful personality.
That boring gourd Ziqin, if he married someone who was as boring as him, he would be like no one in the family, how boring it would be! "
Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "The third wife of the Shi family is indeed good. She has a good personality, a thoughtful mind, and a very discerning eye. Mrs. Ping taught her very well."
After hearing what her mother said, Mrs. Ye smiled happily and said, "It's hard to find such a good girl even with a lantern, right?"
Madam Qin nodded, "Well, it's indeed hard to find. However, Ziqin doesn't seem to have that much concern for Miss Shi San. Otherwise, if the third lady is making a fuss, how can Ziqin not know about it? How can he not respond?"
Mrs. Ye sighed, "Zi Qin is just a child. How can he know how important it is to find a good wife? Yingzi and I are discussing how to bring them together."
Mrs. Qin said: "I advise you to take it easy and don't delay my daughter."
“How wonderful the third wife is! I wonder what Ziqin thinks? Alas!”
"Don't look for trouble! Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Just live your own life." Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
"But isn't marriage the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker?" Mrs. Ye asked unwillingly.
Mrs. Qin raised her head and looked at Mrs. Ye and said, "You have the nerve to take your parents' lives into account?
What did I tell you at the beginning? I said Mr. Yang is a hard person to deal with. How did you tell me?
You said that you and Dingkun are in love and you are willing to suffer for him.
At that time, why didn’t you say that marriage was ordered by parents?
how? When you come to your son, you have to exercise your parental rights? "
Mrs. Ye was robbed of her virginity by her mother. She touched her hair in embarrassment and said, "Mom, stop talking. I was wrong. Ziqin's marriage will be decided by him, that's all."
Mrs. Qin pointed at Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Qian, "Listen here, our children, whether they marry in or out, don't want to be a wealthy family, they only want to be good and agree with the children."
Mrs. Ye whispered: "Auntie, you are too broad. What if the children choose a villager from the mountains to come back, who is ignorant of etiquette and propriety, do you agree?"
Mrs. Qin replied: "As long as the person is kind-hearted and the child likes it, I agree. Also, our family rules do not allow concubines."
Mrs. Ye lowered her lips and said, "These words can only be useful to our Ye family. My father does not take concubines, and neither does my eldest brother. From now on, Minghao and Mingqin will probably not take concubines."
Everyone who marries into our family is blessed.
Who can control those who marry outside? Needless to say, the emperor, how many concubines are there in the palace?
Dingkun made a good promise at first, but finally accepted it.
Ziqin’s surname is Lu. Who in the Lu family doesn’t take concubines? The Duke of Guo is over seventy, so he sent him to Zhuangzi to live as a concubine. The two people living in the house now are more than ten years younger than me.
Everyone who marries into our family is blessed. If you're married, that's not necessarily the case. "
Mrs. Qian nodded and said, "Thinking about this, I worry about Jin'er."
Mrs. Ye originally wanted to talk about herself and Ye Yi, but she didn't expect her niece. After listening to my sister-in-law talking about Ye Mingjin, I realized that I had said the wrong thing.
He quickly comforted Mrs. Qian and said, "Sister-in-law, don't think too much. Jin'er is a good girl. When the time comes, we will choose a family for her."
By the way, how is Shi Mansion? Yingzi has a good temper. The Shi family also did not take concubines.
The eldest son and the second son of her family have agreed to get married. The Fourth Young Master is one year older than Jin'er and is fourteen this year. It's just right. Once we get married, we can discuss marriage. "
Mrs. Qian's eyes lit up, "Mrs. Ping has a cheerful temperament. If Jin'er meets such a mother-in-law, it will be Jin'er's good fortune."
Mrs. Ye looked at Mrs. Qin and asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
Mrs. Qin nodded, "This is a good match. You have a good relationship with Yingzi, and you can explore her voice someday. If she is willing to marry Shi Ye, we can discuss the marriage after Jin'er is no longer married. . Of course, Jin'er and the fourth son of the Shi family must see eye to eye."
Mrs. Ye wiped away her previous depression and responded happily, "Okay, I'll talk to Yingzi another day. If you can't get a daughter-in-law, it would be good to find a son-in-law."
Lu Ziqin returned to Zizhuyuan and said to Ruji, "Have you found out what the elixir my grandma took last time was?"
Ruji shook his head and said: "There are still a few flavors that have not been found. Among those that have been found, the dosage of various medicines cannot be found."
Lv Ziqin frowned and asked, "Is this very important?"
“Of course, the dosage of medicine is very important. If the dosage is insufficient, it will be ineffective in treating the symptoms. If the dosage is too high, it will be harmful to the body. The dosage must be just right. Who needs less sleep? Your Majesty?” Ruji asked.
Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, it is very similar to my grandmother's previous symptoms."
Ru Ji said: "I still have the elixir here, why don't I show it to Dr. Hu?"
Lu Ziqin thought for a while and shook his head, "You keep it first and write a letter to Ru'an to let him see if Xiaoyu has gone to Hongcheng? If Xiaoyu has gone to Hongcheng, let him...yes, I will write a letter, Let Dabai send it over."
Lu Ziqin turned around and went to the study, immersed in writing a letter.
Two moments later, Lu Ziqin put down his pen, picked up the paper on the table, and read it from beginning to end.
Ruxuan glanced at it and clicked his tongue: "How did you do it? The characters are as small as mosquito legs, but they can be so neat."
Lu Ziqin saw that there was no mistake and sealed the two letters.
One letter to Ru'an and one to Gu Huayu. Then he handed the letter to Ruxuan and asked Dabai to send the letter immediately.
Ruxuan took the letter and turned around to go out.
In the following days, Lu Ziqin kept waiting for Ru'an's reply.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor once again summoned Lu Ziqin to the palace. Lu Ziqin accompanied the emperor for a conversation. The imperial concubine asked to see the emperor, and Lu Ziqin stood up to leave.
February 2 is the day when the dragon raises its head.
Lu Ziqin had lunch with Mrs. Qin and drank a cup of tea. Mrs. Qin took a lunch break and Lu Ziqin returned to Zizhuyuan.
As soon as Lu Ziqin entered the study, Ruxuan called out urgently at the door: "Sir, Ru'an is back."
Lu Ziqin hurriedly turned around and came out, watching the dusty Ru An walking along the corridor, and hurriedly greeted him.
When Ru'an saw Lu Ziqin, he knelt down and said, "Sir, the young one is back."
Lu Ziqin stepped forward to help Ru An up, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You haven't eaten yet? Ru Xuan, set the food for Ru An."
Ruxuan nodded, turned around and ordered people to serve food.
Lu Ziqin took Ru'an back to the study and poured a cup of tea for Ru'an himself, "Here, let's have a sip of tea first."
Ru'an was not polite and said, "Thank you, Master!" Then he picked up the cup and drank the tea.
He was very thirsty and drove back day and night. When he was tired, he lay down on the horse and slept for two hours, and then continued on his way.
Ru'an put down the cup, took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Lu Ziqin, "Sir, take care of the elixir given by the doctor.
Dr. Gu said that if the patient is male, he can take one pill a day, and if he is a woman, he needs to take one pill every two days. Besides, Doctor Gu said, you owe her another favor! "
Lu Ziqin nodded, opened the box and took a look. Then he buttoned up the box and said, "You have a rest first, I'll go to the palace."
Lu Ziqin took his waist badge, turned around and left the study.
Ru'an looked at Lu Ziqin's back and asked, "Did you ask for this elixir for the emperor?"
Ruji nodded, "If it weren't for the emperor, how could I have spoken to Doctor Gu and asked you to travel day and night to deliver it?"
Lü Ziqin entered the palace and went straight to the Yangxin Hall. After arriving at the Yangxin Hall, I found out that the emperor was discussing matters with several of his husbands in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Lu Ziqin went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, stood under the eaves of the side hall, and asked the chamberlain to invite Eunuch Gao out.
Soon, Eunuch Gao followed the young **** out.
When Eunuch Gao saw Lu Ziqin, he asked earnestly, "Why is the Sixth Young Master here?"
Seeing that Lu Ziqin's sleeves were bulging and groaning, he hurriedly pulled Lu Ziqin into the side hall, closed the door and asked, "Did you get the elixir?"
Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, as soon as I got it, Ziqin sent it in immediately. Father-in-law, you can ask Dr. Hu to take a look at it to see if it is correct for the emperor's symptoms. If possible, the emperor can take one pill every day and wait for a few days to see. Has your sleeping condition improved?"
Eunuch Gao nodded, opened the door and said to a young chamberlain: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and tell Imperial Physician Hu that the Emperor is done with his work and can come over to get Ping'an's pulse. Bring Imperial Physician Hu here directly."
The little chamberlain took a few steps back, turned around and headed towards the Taiyuan Hospital.
Lu Ziqin asked: "How has the emperor rested recently?"
Eunuch Gao shook his head, "No, even if you are very tired during the day, you can sleep for up to two hours at night without making any noise, otherwise you will wake up. I hope these pills will be useful to the emperor."
Lv Ziqin nodded.
Physician Hu came very quickly. He entered the side hall and saw Eunuch Gao and Lu Ziqin there. He asked, "Where is the emperor? Have you rested?"
Eunuch Gao shook his head and said, "The emperor is still discussing matters with several husbands. You should take a look at this first."
Eunuch Gao opened the brocade box, took out a pill and handed it to Dr. Hu.
Physician Hu quickly put down the medical box, stepped forward to take the elixir, and examined it carefully.
Lu Ziqin said: "The outer layer is sealing wax, open it like this."
Lu Ziqin took it, opened it, and handed it to Dr. Hu.
Eunuch Gao said: "Mr. Hu, sit here and take your time."
Physician Hu nodded and sat down at the table to take a closer look.
Eunuch Gao poured a cup of tea for Lu Ziqin and said, "Sixth Young Master, drink tea and let's wait slowly."
Lu Ziqin bowed to thank him and reached out to take the tea cup.
"Good medicine, good medicine! I'm so lucky to see such a treasure in my lifetime! How lucky!" Dr. Hu suddenly shouted excitedly.
Lu Ziqin was drinking tea and chatting with Eunuch Gao. He just took a sip of tea in his mouth when he was frightened by Dr. Hu, who choked him and coughed.
Physician Hu didn't wait for Lu Ziqin to stop, and asked eagerly: "Sixth Master, is this the elixir that Mrs. Qin used before?"
Eunuch Gao patted Lu Ziqin on the back and said, "Mr. Hu, he is coughing. Wait until he recovers before asking."
Physician Hu handed the cup on the table to Lu Ziqin's hand, "Take a sip of tea."
Lu Ziqin took a sip of tea and his throat felt much better. He nodded and said, "Yes, my grandmother used this kind of elixir before."
Physician Hu said with gleaming eyes: "Sixth Master, would you like to introduce me to meet this master?"
Lu Ziqin shook his head, "She is not in the capital, so she can't make introductions to you."
Physician Hu asked relentlessly: "Where is he? I went to visit him."
Lu Ziqin continued to shake his head, "I don't know where she is. She likes to wander around and has no fixed place."
Physician Hu nodded in admiration and praised: "This is the real master. He wanders around like a wandering cloud and wild crane, treating diseases and saving people... This is a state that I admire but cannot reach."
Lu Ziqin didn’t expect that his nonsense would make Dr. Hu deeply moved.
Eunuch Gao brought the topic back, "So, this pill can be used by the Emperor?"
Physician Hu nodded and said, "I have never seen such a good elixir in my whole life as a doctor. Your Majesty is blessed, and we are blessed with great prosperity."
Eunuch Gao frowned and said, "Isn't this for sleeping?"
Dr. Hu glanced at Eunuch Gao and said solemnly: "Eunuch, be careful, this is not an ordinary tranquilizer. This elixir is made of more than ten kinds of rare and exotic treasures that nourish the body. The emperor takes it, and it can regulate the emperor's health from the root. body."
Eunuch Gao looked at Dr. Hu with joy and asked in disbelief: "Really?"
Physician Hu turned to look at Lu Ziqin, "If you don't believe me, ask Master Six, how is Mrs. Qin's energy lately? Is she energetic? Is she much younger?"
