Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Liang Huan carefully opened the box and unfolded the folded paper, which turned out to be two Geng Tie.

She stared at the writing on it, her heart was shaking, her scalp was numb, and her limbs seemed to be immersed in cold water.

Liang Huan seemed to be nailed to the ground and could only maintain this posture.

She once said that Lu Xiu and Gao Qian had some resemblance between their eyebrows. At that time, she thought they were nephews and the resemblance was normal. But later, when she learned about Lu Xiu's life experience, she forgot that the two of them were not supposed to be similar.

Now, she finally understands.

Why did the Grand Master accept him as his disciple?

Why did Yuan Shaoyu send his only son to the Taishi Mansion?

Why would the Queen Mother tolerate him in every possible way, and why would he stop himself from killing Gao Qian? Even though he had eaten away all the imperial power in his previous life, he still spared the tyrant's life.

Liang Huan's hands were shaking so much that she never expected that Lu Xiu was actually the son of the Queen Mother.

So, did Aweng know the inside story and didn’t announce her engagement to Lu Xiu to the public? Afraid of something unexpected happening?

But why did he think something had happened?

Liang Huan felt like there were countless lightning bolts in her head, which made her unable to calm down.

Both eyes stared blankly at the Geng Tie in his hand.

She didn't know how long she had been frozen like this, or maybe it was just a moment.

……

Footsteps were approaching, and someone pushed the door open and entered.

"Sorry for the waitting."

Cao Luyun walked in holding a jade plate. The celadon plate contained white and moist white cocoon sugar, which looked soft and waxy. There were also a few small pieces of osmanthus and brown sugar sauce on the side.

Cao Luyun: "Have a try, this is what I'm best at."

As soon as you take it from one end to the next, you can smell a sweet smell in your nose, which is very tempting.

Liang Huan sincerely praised: "Mrs. Cao's cooking skills are so good that she tastes delicious just by looking at her."

She can do these things, but she can't do them so delicately.

Liang Huan remembered that Cao Luyun had made many cakes for Lu Xiu, which must have included this white cocoon candy.

While she was talking, she poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Cao Luyun, "While I was waiting for you, I cooked another pot. Is it different from yours?"

Cao Luyun paused for a moment while holding the white cocoon candy for her, and hesitated to speak while looking at Liang Huan's calm face.

Liang Huan smiled: "Just like this white cocoon candy, even if it is made by the same person, the taste may not be the same every time."

Cao Luyun's expression only stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal.

Liang Huan did not touch the white cocoon candy, and was silent for a while, then said: "If Mrs. Cao insists on staying in the Grand Master's Mansion, then she can stay. I will visit Prime Minister Cao personally one day and talk to him about this matter." As for the white cocoon candy, it’s delicious, but unfortunately I don’t like sweets, so I have no choice but to live up to it.”

After that, he stood up.

Cao Luyun was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Liang Huan, you are really confusing to me. I thought you had no intention of him, but -"

"Human relationships are as thin as paper, and world affairs are like new chess games." Liang Wei shook his head and smiled, "I don't understand myself either."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.

After leaving the East Pavilion, the courtyard looked a little desolate in this season.

Liang Huan walked slowly and leisurely.

Cao Luyun was making it clear that she knew she had discovered the secret. If a shocking news were revealed at this stall, Lu Xiu would immediately become an outcast, whether in the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the morale of the frontline troops would be even worse...

Therefore, Lu Xiu's life experience is not a secret in the Lu family.

But Cao Luyun accidentally found out.

But why did Lu Huai keep this thing that should have been destroyed?

Liang Huan touched the thin paper in his sleeve and sighed.

Whatever.

Hara just wanted to spend the winter here.

In Nanyuan's room, she watched the papers in the brazier igniting little by little. They should not have existed in the world.

It's like this unintentional episode.

It will eventually end...

On the day I went to Cao Mansion, snowflakes started to fall.

The battle lasted longer than expected.

The battle situation on the front line was actually not fierce. The Northern Zhou Dynasty had a break from fighting, and it seemed that it wanted to continue the war for a long time, and it seemed that it wanted to drag the Southern Qi down.

It would have been okay if we had left it in the past, but after experiencing the disaster and entering winter again, not only the military food and supplies could not keep up, but also the people's hearts would be broken, and I was afraid that they would surrender without a fight in the end.

In the carriage, Liang Huan had a serious look on his face and was thinking a lot.

Unlike her, Cao Luyun was in a good mood and kept smiling slightly.

The Grand Master was a little surprised to know that she was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Luyun explained that the prime minister was ill, and Liang Huan was good at medicine, so he asked her to help him take a look. The grand master did not doubt that he was there.

The cart stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Liang Huan remembered that the last time she came, it was at night. She had disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, and she banged on the door like a madwoman.

Liang Huan stood at the door and sighed.

It is true that Cao Xiang is ill.

In the living room, the fire was not burning brightly, but it was not freezing.

He was half leaning on the couch, and his eyes, which were always bright and alert, were indescribably gloomy and tired.

The loose clothes made him look thinner and haggard.

Liang Huan only talked about individual diagnosis and treatment, and Cao Luyun knew it very well, so he cooperated and led everyone out of the door.

Liang Huan quietly checked her pulse.

Without saying anything else, he just opened the acupuncture bag and said: "Doctors are kind-hearted. They can cure diseases, but they can't cure their lives. Why should Prime Minister Cao——"

His loving expression changed instantly, and he stared at Liang Han.

Liang Huan looked at each other without blinking and applied the acupuncture skillfully.

She sighed: "Isn't Prime Minister Cao worried about the disaster and the epidemic and the war on the front line?"

Cao Xiang said: "The young lady is not just here to see a doctor."

Liang Huan smiled: "Heart disease still needs heart medicine. The doctor must prescribe the right medicine."

Hearing what Liang Huan said, Prime Minister Cao narrowed his eyes.

She also knew in her heart that she just felt that she was helpless and couldn't bear it, so she probably had no bad intentions.

Cao Xiang thought for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, you were the one who came up with the method to get rid of the locusts last time, right?"

Liang Wei: “It doesn’t matter who comes up with the idea, what matters is whether it is feasible.”

She remembered clearly that he and Cao Jun were extremely opposed to women discussing politics that day.

Looking at what Cao Luyun and Cao Danqing have learned, we can even get a glimpse of it.

Prime Minister Cao sighed: "If your son doesn't do his job, what can you do?"

He glanced at Liang Huan again: "It's a pity that she is a girl."

Liang Huan laughed: "No, for some things, being a woman is more convenient."

She no longer minced words, "In the beginning, some refugees came to Jinye with a sense of luck. Now, more and more refugees are rushing to come here, even regardless of the epidemic, just to see that those who come first will have rice to eat and have food." If things go on like this, more and more people will gather in the house, which is not rescuing the victims, but harming them, and it will cause endless troubles."

Prime Minister Cao stroked his moustache: "What do you suggest, madam?"

Liang Huan: "Driving them away will cut off food."

Cao Xiang took a breath: "It will definitely cause turmoil, and all the previous efforts will be in vain."

Liang Huan explained: "Anyone who recovers from illness will not be provided with rice, food or shelter. They will be given both soft and hard treatment. When they leave, they will be given a voucher. After returning to their hometown, they can use this voucher to go to the government and receive rations. The weight is no different from that in Jinye."

"As for officials, to encourage them to provide financial aid, they can record their merits based on the amount of financial support, and report to the Lord to request rewards."

……

After finishing speaking, Liang Huan put away the acupuncture bag.

"From now on, let Madam Cao continue to stay in the Taishi Mansion."
