The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

At this time, Li Lizhi, who followed the eldest grandson Wuji, also stood nervously, waiting for his mother to tell the result.

"Little sister, what's the matter? You are trying to kill me." Changsun Wuji was really anxious.

He can't be in a hurry.

Since yesterday, he has not been safe.

His wife was always nagging in front of him, and at night, she shed tears. His eldest grandson Wuji saw his wife in such a state, and there was nothing he could do.

Now, his little queen sister went to Zhong Wen's house to plead for mercy. What he hoped most was to have good news.

But when Empress Changsun came into his house, he knew that Zhong Wenmao didn't seem to give face to his little empress.

Why?

Because his two sons have never been seen.

Empress Changsun looked at her daughter with concern, feeling very distressed in her heart, and then slowly said: "Chong'er and Wen'er are really to blame for this matter, but Zhong Shaobao also said, let them kneel down for three days before doing it." Nine kowtows, and then pay a thousand coins to the hunter, and pretend that this incident never happened."

"Ah? Will you kneel for three days?" Changsun Wuji felt relieved when he heard such a result, but if his two sons really knelt for three days, his bones would not be able to bear it.

"Then what else do you want? This is already Zhong Shaobao's greatest tolerance. It is estimated that this is the result of Sheng's going up. Don't you know until now that Zhong Shaobao has a fancy to his family? From Zhong Meier, to Now his father and mother, don't you see anything?" When Empress Changsun heard her brother's words, she was very displeased.

In the past, my elder brother was also a very smart person, but after the incident, he was so confused.

"Hey! That's fine. With this lesson, these two little beasts will dare to mess with them after seeing them." Changsun Wuji saw that the queen seemed a little displeased, so he hurriedly replied.

As for kneeling for three days or knocking nine times, although these are a bit unacceptable, at least his life is saved.

For the past two days, Changsun Wuji has been worrying about the lives of his two sons.

As for Zhong Wen's younger sister, who was once taken captive by the Tubo people, Zhong Wen beheaded all the owners of the Tubo mission if they disagreed.

It was almost because of this that Tang and Tubo went to war.

And with the reminder from Empress Changsun, his eldest grandson Wuji realized that the result his little sister got after going to seek it was a good result.

Three days.

In fact, it passed very quickly.

But in the past three days, the two brothers, Changsun Chong, were really on the verge of going crazy.

The knees of the legs were already swollen.

No matter how swollen the knee becomes, these nine prayers are still unavoidable.

Zhong Mugen and his wife were flustered by the bowing down of the eldest Sun Chong brothers.

However, fortunately, Zhong Wen was by his side, so he passed away safely.

The two brothers who were carried back to the mansion probably will remember the lesson this time for the rest of their lives.

Of course, the face of the Changsun Mansion was completely lost.

When it comes to matters, Zhong Wen has always been a reasonable person.

But if you really don't reason, then Zhong Wen basically won't reason with you.

This time, Zhong Wen could only sell the Queen's favor, and did not break the legs of the two of them.

What happened to the eldest grandson's family, Zhong Wen didn't even think about it.

After the incident, Zhong Wenyu returned to Lizhou with his father and mother.

But looking at the weather, it made him retreat.

"We've all been in Chang'an for a while, and we don't know what's going on with your grandmother." Xiu hugged Xiao Wu and wondered.

"Aniang, before I came to Chang'an, I went to Tagou Village to see my grandmother and the others. They are fine and have a good life." Zhong Wen comforted.

"That's good, but it's a pity that we can't go back now, Xiaowen, hurry up and write a letter to your grandmother before the end of the year, and send some gifts there. We are far away in Chang'an, so we can't do our filial piety in front of us. "Xiu said to Zhong Wen while thinking about her mother.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll write it now." Zhong Wen understood that his Auntie was a dutiful and filial woman.

When I am in Chang'an, I don't forget to write a letter to my mother and bring some New Year gifts back.

At this time, sending letters is basically difficult, but there are ways.

As for the annual gift or something, I can also find a way to bring it over.

It has nothing to do with Zhong Wen what method these warehouses will use and what route they will take, as long as the letters and things are delivered.

As the days passed, the days became colder and colder.

Although the snow is not heavy, the weather looks very weird.

Zhong Wen saw that the New Year was getting closer, and it was time for him to prepare for the New Year ceremony.

During this period of time, after Zhong Wen returned to Chang'an, the shadow came over and summoned Zhong Wen to the palace, and talked with Li Shimin for a long time.

Originally, according to the etiquette of emperors and ministers, Zhong Wen should be the first to visit the emperor Li Shimin.

But because of the matter of the eldest grandson's family, Zhong Wen didn't do that.

Empress Changsun came to intercede, and as a husband, it was impossible for him not to know.

In addition, Changsun Wuji is his brother-in-law, no matter what, it is impossible for Li Shimin to let any major problems happen to Changsun Wuji's family.

However, Zhong Wen knew very well about the matter of Empress Changsun's visit. Li Shimin must be involved in it. As for what role he played, Zhong Wen couldn't guess.

Of course, in the conversation between Zhong Wen and Li Shimin, he also mentioned the matter of the eldest grandson's family, and even said that Zhong Wen would forgive him or something.

After all this time, Zhong Wen had long forgotten how he cared about the eldest grandson's family.

However, as soon as Li Shimin talked about Lizhou, he began to ask Zhong Wen about the salt lake and the Western Regions.

Zhong Wendao didn't hide anything, and all came out on the tray.

On the contrary, it was his own business, when Li Shimin asked, Zhong Wen basically avoided answering.

"Brother, the master said we can take a rest." Just as Zhong Wen was standing in the courtyard, looking at the snow-falling sky, and thinking about things about Lizhou, Xiao Hua ran over and said.

"It's fine to rest and stay in the mansion, didn't you see that the weather is very cold?" Zhong Wen said speechlessly.

After the girl was trained last time, she became more honest even though she spoke, and she started to read books, and she didn't go out of the house very much.

To be honest, he is a little more honest, but his temper doesn't seem to have changed much.

Still a little off.

"Brother, Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, is our family going to buy a lot of things?" Xiao Hua started to inquire as if she had never heard Zhong Wen's words.

"Do you want to go out of the house?" Zhong Wen slapped her, and he knew what this girl wanted to do.

"Brother, I haven't been out of the house for half a month, why don't you let me go out and have a look." Xiao Hua begged.

"No, have you forgotten all the rules set before?" Zhong Wen refused.

When Xiaohua heard the rules, she immediately became honest.

She really wanted to go out of the house to play, but after the rules were established, she knew that she would not be able to go out.

Helpless, she had to leave with her mouth pouted.

Not far away, Zhong Mugen looked at the pair of brothers and sisters and smiled knowingly.

Zhong Wen, the elder brother, dotes on his younger sister.

Not to mention that Zhong Mugen and his wife knew it well, probably even all the servants in the mansion could see it.

What's more, even those who knew Zhong Wen in Chang'an City basically knew about Zhong Wen's petting sister.

But today, Zhong Wenmao didn't seem to respond to his little sister's request.

This had to reassure Zhong Mugen a lot.

On the second day, Zhong Wen called Xu Fu over and began to give instructions, "Xu Fu, it will be Chinese New Year in a few days, and the things in the house will start to be prepared. Gifts from each family will be delivered on the day before the previous day." Let's go, there are people in the mansion, as well as people in restaurants and caravans, they should also give out some rewards, and the day after tomorrow, they will officially close down, everyone should go home and have a good New Year."

"Master Dao, I have prepared some gifts, but I don't know what to prepare in the palace, so I am going to ask you about this matter." Xu Fu responded quickly after hearing Zhong Wen's words.

As a housekeeper, he doesn't need orders from the master at all, he already knows what to do.

Although he had never been anyone's housekeeper before, he knew about human relationships and human accidents.

Fortunately, there are not many people who have acquainted with Zhong Wen, so it is easier for him, the butler, to prepare the ceremony and arrive.

"There is no need to prepare it in the palace. You go and get two high-quality boxes. I will prepare these two bottles of medicine as gifts from the palace." Zhong Wen also knew that he was not free to give any gifts in the palace.

There is no shortage of food for use in the palace.

Even if there is a lack, it is not the turn of the county marquis Zhong Wen to come and give gifts.

The medicine is Zhong Wen's medicine.

It is also a medicine specially made by Zhong Wen recently.

This medicine was used for the empress' condition, not Zhong Wen's own white medicine.

"Okay, I'll look for it in a while. However, the reward you mentioned just now, how much should be given out?" Xu Fu asked about the reward after answering the matter.

There are not many servants in the County Marquis Mansion, only five or sixty people in total.

But there are many people in the restaurant.

The total number of people in the three restaurants is not a small number, there are a total of three hundred people.

This is not counting the caravan. If the caravans are added together, there are almost 1000 people.

"I looked at the account book you gave me the day before yesterday. Although it is not very profitable this year, there is still some revenue. In this way, each person will be given ten pennies, so that they can be more attentive in doing things next year, but , you have to be sure of your words." Zhong Wen thought for a while and said.

In fact, this year's revenue is not bad.

After a few months, it also brought nearly [-] yuan in profit to the mansion.

Taking out [-] pennies to buy people's hearts can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

What's more, the expenses in Zhongwen's house were not high at all. Of course, if you have money, you have to spend it, and the money is spent by your own people, which means that the money will not flow to outsiders.

"Daoist, isn't this a bit high?" Xu Fu heard the number of ten guan, and then secretly calculated, this year, he will have to spend nearly [-] guan of money, which makes Xu Fu feel distressed.

"Listen to me, go find me two boxes first, and I'll go to the palace later." Zhong Wen patted Xu Fu on the shoulder to show that the matter was settled.

Xu Fu knew that he couldn't dissuade Zhong Wen, so he had no choice but to answer, and took two servants to find the box.

The box was found and returned quickly.

Less than half an hour after Xu Fu left, the box was already handed over to Zhong Wen.

Immediately, Zhong Wen asked Xu Fu to distribute the rewards by himself.

But he was holding two boxes of medicine, and after talking to his parents, he left the gate and headed towards Miyagi.

This time, Zhong Wen planned to give the gift away before the year.

Others may send a good omen, or a lucky head.

But what Zhong Wen sent was medicine, upon hearing this, it was really unreasonable.

But Zhong Wen has nothing to give away, and the only thing he can give away is these two bottles of high-quality medicine specially made by himself.

Moreover, it is also a medicine specially made for the queen's illness.

In terms of medical skills, Zhong Wen is basically not inferior to anyone.

Moreover, I have the existence of internal strength and internal energy. If I really don't understand the disease, then Zhong Wen's martial arts will be in vain.

After seeing Li Shimin and his wife, Zhong Wen didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out two boxes and said, "My lord, queen, this is a special medicine I made for the queen, it is specially for the queen's physical weakness, asthma, cold stomach, lung The symptoms of the disease, this medicine is rare, I also traveled all over the city of Chang'an, only to find a special medicinal material to refine it."

"Jiu, you have a heart." Li Shimin and his wife didn't expect that what Zhong Wen came to give as a gift was medicine.

Although I didn't take it to heart, I still have to do a good job on the surface.

As for what Zhong Wen said, he believed it but didn't believe it.

As for medical skills, it doesn't take a few years to grow, it takes a long time to have superb medical skills.

As far as the gift presented by Zhong Wen was concerned, Li Shimin naturally believed that the medicine was definitely not a poison, and it was absolutely impossible for him to harm his wife, but he didn't really believe in the efficacy of the medicine.

The queen's illness, so many imperial doctors can't help it, so she can only take care of it slowly.

Even Sun Simiao, who is called a genius doctor by the people, has seen it, and he is just like those imperial doctors, just raising him.

Li Shimin really didn't believe that the medicine made by Zhong Wen could really cure his wife's illness.
