Lorna's life in Daming City could not be said to be like a fish in water, but it could also be said to be uneventful.I thought that the young and tea-loving Mrs. A Zhong would come to her again and again to trouble her, but the Dai Ming lady was not a vegetarian, and Mrs. Dayuyuan did not need to give face to Mrs. A Zhong, so she just wanted to see Lorna. , it can also be said that there is no way to go.

After the Daimyo's wife began to look better, he had the idea of ​​asking Lorna to nurse his side room lady's door back to health.After all, in a daimyo, the more children, especially sons, the better, and it’s not like he couldn’t afford them.

But after the daimyo mentioned it tactfully, Lorna's answer was simple and clear.

"Your Highness, I don't need to tell you how your physical condition is. Your Excellency, the Great Monk Zheng, will tell you everything." After staying in Mrs. Dayuyuan's temporary residence for two months, Lorna was called by the name for the second time. summoned.And looking at the other party's face that couldn't hide her joy, it must be that the Daimyo's wife already had good news.

The difference is that this summons is more formal than the last time.

The daimyo not only had his courtiers and monks accompany him, but he also put on fairly solemn clothes.Unlike last time, it was clearly recommended by the Dai Ming Lady and Dayu Yuan Madam personally, but the Dai Ming was in Yajuli listening to the piano, and asked Mrs. A Zhong to accompany him.

…………

After listening to Lorna's words, the great monk Zheng Zheng, who was good at medical skills, immediately replied: "Ji Jun's words are true. The poor monk has been practicing medicine for several years. Although he was overtaken by talented and intelligent people like Ji Jun, there are few opponents in Daming Mansion. .After I became the chief monk, I have always been responsible for the health of the daimyo. However, since the death of the eldest daughter Yuanfang Gongshin of Tian'an Hall (the name of the daimyo's eldest daughter), it has been particularly difficult to have heirs, so I boldly asked Mr. Ji, Did Mrs. Dai Ming give the Dai Ming a strong dose of medicine in his diet?"

Lorna looked at the monk's wrinkled eyes, which were like a pool of abyss. The loose eyelids made it difficult to see the whites of his eyes clearly. At a glance, one would think he was a man with dark eyes.

"I would like to ask, Master Monk Zheng, how dare I dare to use strong medicine on a big name? How many ladies of a big name dare to use harming medicine on a big name." Lorna gave a big salute and said without being humble or arrogant: "I don't dare to do that. In terms of medical skills, he is better than the great monk Zheng. Because he is a woman, he is good at women's internal medicine. It is reasonable that the great monk Zheng is a Qing cultivator and has difficulty in being proficient in women's internal medicine."

"Well...it's understandable." The daimyo was not an idiot. He knew that the monk was deliberately giving Lorna eye drops. After all, the monk had served him for nearly 30 years and was not as useful as a country girl.No matter how open-minded Monk Zheng is, he will not have any grudges against Lorna. Otherwise, those monk officials with ill intentions or close ministers who don't know the truth will say that Monk Zheng is not serving her well and has ulterior motives.

The reason why the daimyo didn't stop the monk was because he wanted to test how much Lorna weighed. However, he didn't smell anything and didn't say anything. Lorna cleverly rounded it off and gave the monk a perfect step.

"Since the daimyo asked... I can only say that the medicine is three-part poison. I have been asked by my adoptive mother and the daimyo's wife to do my best to get rid of it. I am afraid that if the daimyo takes the medicine again, not only will it not be unexpected The good news will also have an impact on the daimyo's body." Lorna knew very well that these dignitaries cherished their lives the most, and the second was to ensure that their rule would last forever.

Faced with the suspicious eyes of the daimyo, Lorna also pretended to have a bitter expression: "For example, deer blood wine, deer antlers, and ginseng are all good things, but if you use them too much, they will cause damage to yourself. And I told the daimyo before However, your deficit is far worse than others, and you have old injuries, so I have been very careful in using medicine. I even told Madam Daimyo that if the three medicines are not effective, I am afraid I will give it to you. Please forgive me."

Of course, the following words were completely made up by Lorna.

As for whether the daimyo would seek confirmation from the daimyo's wife, judging from the daimyo's madam's attitude of wanting the daimyo to have only one child, the possibility that she would stab Lorna in the back is extremely low.Also present at that time were Mrs. Dayu Yuan and the daimyo's wife's dowry girls. Presumably, the daimyo would not ask anything from them.

"That's right!" The daimyo was still a little suspicious, but the monk who had just been handed down the steps by Lorna was remembering that Lorna was the adopted daughter of Mrs. Dayuyuan.If the Daming Lady really gives birth to an heir to the Daming Palace, Lorna's status will rise.It is better to make friends than to make enemies. Moreover, if the Daimyo has another child, then he, the great monk, will not only become enemies with the Daimyo's wife, but will also appear more and more incompetent under the background of Lorna.

However, in front of the daimyo, the monk Zheng couldn't help too obviously, so he could only vaguely say: "Can you please give me a prescription, and let me learn a few things?"

As a result, without waiting for Lorna to respond, the daimyo decided: "Okay, maybe you two can learn from each other and improve your medical skills." This was to let the monk check for him.

Lorna knew that it was useless to give the monk the correct prescription, because magic potion, potion, as the name suggests, is a medicine that must be refined with magic power.However, in order to reassure the daimyo, she readily gave the prescription, but she did not specify the dosage of each medicinal ingredient.

When the monk asked, he also looked hesitant: "As the saying goes, medication needs to be prescribed according to the situation. Everyone's constitution is different, and even if the symptoms they present are similar, they are not exactly the same. Therefore, you must carefully diagnose before taking medication, and then prepare it carefully. Compare."

At the end, he added: "Although this medicine is not harmful to the body, it is a powerful medicine. A maximum of six doses can be used between husband and wife, and the upper limit is three doses per person."

What Lorna gave her was a weakened version of the pregnancy potion that removed the effectiveness of the pregnancy stone and various magic potions. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the secret recipe for childbirth in this world.

If ordinary people use it, they have an [-]% chance of conceiving a child.And people with hidden diseases can also increase their chances of pregnancy by one or two points.

As for whether using too much will be life-threatening... Lorna is not that crazy.

After all, judging from the Daimyo's performance, he probably has not given up the idea of ​​having another child, so after he gets the prescription and conducts the experiment, he will only find that greedy people will feel dizzy or suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. This confirmed the theory that the medicine was three-part poison, and at the same time it reassured the Daimyo's wife.

Sure enough, after getting the prescription, the daimyo became a little kinder to Lorna, and even asked Lorna in a good mood what reward she wanted.

"Ordinary gold and silver jewelry are too tacky. Not only do they fail to reflect my gratitude to my niece, but they will also embarrass Mrs. Dayu Yuan."

"Niece?" The ministers on the side were stunned for a moment, and then said in relief: "Mrs. Dayuyuan is your cousin and sister-in-law. It is reasonable for you to call Mrs. Dayuyuan's adopted daughter that way."

"What kind of reward do Zongzheng think I should give Lorna?" The daimyo didn't have any idea in this regard, so he just asked the two people present to advise him.

"Since you don't want to reward Mrs. Dayuyuan with jewels and make Mrs. Dayu think that you are accusing her of not taking good care of Mr. Ji, why not give Mr. Ji an official position and fiefdom that you can be proud of." The great monk Zheng Ke has had a few more years of food than the daimyo's ministers, so it can be seen that Lorna was not the kind of character who would live peacefully in the backyard, so she rushed to show her kindness to her close ministers: "Ji Jun has such medical skills at a young age, and he even performed good deeds near Nanhe River. If it is too early It would be a shame to have a family and a career.”

People of this era tacitly accepted that after a woman gets married, she should spend her energy on caring for her husband and raising children. Therefore, the close ministers of the daimyo looked at Lorna's relationship with the daimyo's wife and the dayuin's wife, coupled with the inertial thinking of this era, But he wanted the daimyo to adopt Lorna as his adopted daughter and arrange an elderly home for her.

But the monk was the first to suggest not to say anything, which reminded the daimyo of another thing.

Counting the days, the great monk had reached the age of preparing a coffin, and the daimyo could not find a doctor who could compare with the great monk, so he set his sights on Lorna.

Although the daimyo also had to guard against Mrs. Dayu Yuin and the daimyo to prevent them from being too ambitious, the daimyo's wife had no pressure to have children before her brother's death and lived a more Buddhist life than a monk, so she was not in the mood to build power.It would still be more than ten years before the Daimyo's wife's child would grow up. The Daimyo felt that his first wife would not be stupid enough to deal with him before the child reaches adulthood, and then deal with those jackals, tigers and leopards.

Therefore, even if Lorna is a daimyo lady, she is still among the "trustworthy" group.

"In the past, the maiden of a daimyo's wife was awarded the honorary title of a fourth-rank seven-provincial minister before being enthroned, and among the wet nurses of the previous daimyo, there were even examples of being granted the title of a subordinate before their death. Take Ji Jun Her status is naturally not inferior to that of the daimyo's wife or the daimyo's wet nurse, but Ji-jun is still too young, so in order to avoid criticism, it is most suitable for her to be a senior official."

"Then let's appoint the fourth-rank Minister of Civil Affairs!" The daimyo agreed: "Lorna has not lived in the Daming Mansion for a long time, and she is not proficient in etiquette and Buddhism, so she will be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Minister of the Imperial Palace. Her status is not suitable for her. As for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice...after all, the murderous spirit is too strong to be given to an unmarried girl. And compared to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is better. , it can also reflect your benevolence as a healer.”

"As for the fiefdom..." Since she is a female dependent with an official position, then land and a house are definitely indispensable. As for how to reward...

The daimyo remembered that there were not many people in the Nanga River generation, and the territory of the Lord of Kaga Castle could not be expanded there.Leaving an uninhabited land will also make the surrounding city lords have some intentions, which will cause trouble, so Lorna is just right.While letting them put their mind to rest, it will not disrupt the already balanced forces of all parties.

"The Nangachuan generation is exactly three hundred...it is still a territory of four hundred stones."

"Your Highness, it's five hundred stones." A close minister reminded: "Including the clan land leased by the Qianju family, it is exactly five hundred stones."

"The Senju Clan?" The daimyo seemed to be remembering something, and took a puff of cigarette with a dark look in his eyes: "After all, he is from a mud-legged family. He is no better than the Sarutobi Clan and the Uchiha Clan, and has some land that has been passed down from generation to generation."

Logically speaking, civilians can only lease land, but the Sarutobi and Uchiha clans were once the bannermen, so there is some hereditary land.However, the Sarutobi clan and the Uchiha clan were "former bannermen" after all. Even after they fell into the ranks of ninjas, the land they owned was not recognized by the daimyo. Instead, it was rewarded by the castle lord as "knowledge and practice", which is 70 years of land use rights.

The reason why those city lords gave preferential treatment to ninjas was to avoid being assassinated by locals.But after all, ninjas are among the civilians. Even if they live better than samurai, they cannot be superior to samurai. Therefore, those city lords who win over ninjas will not give ninjas the hereditary "An Xing Zhixing" without looking at it.

As for the hereditary territories of the Uchiha clan and the Sarutobi clan, they were taken back by the daimyo when they became ronin, so they have to be "renewed" by the castle lord every 70 years.

Of course, Lorna is the adopted daughter of Mrs. Dayuyuan, so the daimyo will not be so stingy that he will not even give An Xing Zhixing five hundred dan to his niece.
