Qiao Yi

The only married princes in the court are Ming Wang and An Wang, but Ming Wang married a male wife, so it is impossible for Ming Wang Concubine to conceive and have children.But King An married the daughter of Lu Xiang's family, and the good news came out just a few months after the marriage. Princess An was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the royal family. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

All the ministers in the court knew the news, and many officials expressed their congratulations to King An and Xiang Lu after the court fell that day. "Congratulations, Your Highness."

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiang."

"thanks, thanks."

Surrounded by everyone, Lu Xiang narrowed his eyes with a smile and was talking to everyone, obviously in a very good mood. "let's go."

When leaving, Hu Tingyun took a look at Lu Chongbu and King An's side, but didn't join in the fun, and left with a few officials below.King Ming had just left the capital to go to the south for disaster relief, and such news spread from Prince An's Mansion. To them, this was not a good thing.

It's just that the news won't come out sooner or later, but at this time, Hu Tingyun thinks deeply in his heart, thinking that there may be articles in it.He knew that the emperor asked King Ming to help the disaster on the surface this time, but in fact he was going to investigate the whereabouts of the 40 taels of silver used to build the river. If you say that the 40 taels of silver has nothing to do with the officials in the capital , he didn't believe it.

The water in the imperial court is becoming more and more turbid, and the people's hearts are becoming more and more unbearable.Hu Xiang shook his head, and led the people out of the palace.

Soon the people in the capital knew the news that Princess An was pregnant, and the people in the teahouse and restaurant were all discussing this matter, "Do you know? I heard that Princess An is pregnant."

"Why haven't you heard of it? We heard about it yesterday."

"This Concubine An is a blessed one. It has only been a long time since she married into Prince An's mansion, and she has news in her stomach."

"It's not."

"If this can give birth to a son, it means that the mother is more expensive than the son."

Everyone has some envy and jealousy towards that Princess An, but no matter what, they can't become Princess An, because they don't have a powerful father like Lu Xiang, and they don't have such a good fate.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the prince and concubine are very far away from them, so everyone is talking about the pregnancy of Princess An, and the wife of a certain family is pregnant. It also mentioned that the wife of a certain family became pregnant not long after taking the medicine after going to Yixintang to see it.

Rather than talking about those who are high above and out of reach, the common people prefer to talk about the people and things around them that are related to their vital interests.

And Doctor Qiao, who was the most discussed among the crowd, was seeing patients and writing prescriptions in the medical clinic.

The patient who underwent surgery a few days ago has passed the critical period and is recovering.Widow Zhao naturally wants to stay in the medical center to take care of her son, and she can also eat in the medical center, but although the food in the medical center is already cheaper than outside, for those of them who can't make much money a year From a human point of view, even if it is a copper coin, it is very distressing.

"Grandma, I've got nothing to do, why don't we go home, it's a waste of money for me to live here." Chen Qing was still thinking about the few acres of land at home, they are all here, and no one cares about the land at home.

Seeing that it was almost time for the harvest, and the crops in the field were left unattended, he was so anxious that he wished he could go home now.

"Hey, didn't the doctor say that you can stay here for two more days, and you can't go back so soon." Widow Zhao was also anxious and wanted to go home, but she cared more about her son than her son's life life.

If the money is gone, you can earn more money, but if your son’s life is gone, then he is really gone. Widow Zhao persuaded: "Son, let's not worry, it doesn't matter if you stay two days longer or less."

Why doesn't it matter?Chen Qing wanted to refute, but he also knew that he couldn't talk to his own mother.

As soon as Qiao Yi arrived, he heard the mother and son talking. Looking at Chen Qing who was lying on the bed, he said coldly, "If I had known today, why would you not have thought about the consequences when you fought with someone?"

"You still have to meet me to get your life back. If you met someone else, this life would have been gone long ago."

What he said was the truth, how could an ordinary doctor dare to treat Chen Qing's injury at that time?It was only when she met him that Chen Qing saved her life. At this moment, her injuries have not recovered, so she clamored all day long to go back.

"I..." Chen Qing's mouth twitched for a moment, and under Dr. Qiao's cold eyes, she suddenly didn't dare to speak.Widow Zhao got up, went up to call Dr. Qiao, and asked, "Dr. Qiao, how is our brother Qing's injury? How long will it take to recover?"

"Today I will remove the thread for him first, and observe for a day tomorrow, and he can go back if there is nothing to do. But even if he goes home, he must rest at home, and he can't go to the ground until he has been raised for a month or two. work."

"Yes Yes."

"Go out and wait a while, I'll remove the stitches for him first."

"Okay, I'll wait outside, just shout when you're done."

Qiao Yi asked the lady to go out and removed the sutures on Chen Qing's forehead.Because someone punched a hole in Chen Qing's forehead, he shaved half of Chen Qing's hair at that time, and now Chen Qing's hair looks like a piece of it was bitten by a dog, which looks very funny.

That is to say, Chen Qing has been here in the medical center for so long, and he hasn't looked in the mirror yet, so he doesn't know what he looks like now.

Obviously this Dr. Qiao was younger than him, but under Dr. Qiao's eyes, Chen Qing was as scared as a mouse seeing a cat.Regarding this question, Chen Qing himself couldn't figure it out. In the end, he attributed it to the fact that his life was saved by the other party, so he respected and feared Dr. Qiao from the bottom of his heart.

After disconnecting Chen Qing's thread, Qiao Yi went out to do other things.

"Master, I went out just now and heard that Princess An is pregnant." Chu Liu came back from the outside and brought back the gossip news.

Qiao Yi paused in grabbing the medicine, then continued to grab the medicine from the cabinet, and said flatly, "If you get pregnant, you will get pregnant. That's other people's business." If someone wants to get pregnant and have a baby, can't he stop it?In his eyes, other people's pregnancy is other people's business and has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he can't give birth.

But I'm afraid that in the eyes of some people, he just occupies the latrine and doesn't shit, and he has to occupy the position of Princess Ming.But then again, did he want to be Princess Ming himself?

Now that Concubine An is pregnant, but he, Concubine Ming, is unable to conceive, they will inevitably be compared by others.

He doesn't care what others think, Xie Yin doesn't think about what he cares about.

If Xie Yin really wanted to find a woman to give birth to, he would definitely be unable to stop him, but it was absolutely impossible for him to stay here any longer.Even though they had already talked about this matter, and Xie Yin expressed his opinion and attitude, but on the matter of offspring, he himself could not have children, so he didn't know whether the other party could.

So in this matter, Qiao Yi has always been a little uneasy and uncertain.If that man really sits in that position one day, can he really, as he said at the beginning, not want children and offspring for him?It's not that he doesn't believe in Xie Yin, but that when he is in another position, the problems he faces, the way he thinks and what he thinks become different.

I hope their relationship can stand the test of time, Qiao Yi inexplicably feels like sighing.

"Oh, yes." Seeing that their young master was a little unhappy on the sixth day of the lunar new year, he dared not continue talking about this matter.Wang Dahu, who had just walked in from the outside, heard what Chu Liu said to their young master, looked at their young master with a silent face, and he could probably guess what their young master was thinking in his heart.

Knowing that their young master was unhappy, on the sixth day of the lunar new year, he didn't dare to bring up the matter of Princess An's pregnancy. He realized that others could give birth, but their young master couldn't. At the same time, he felt aggrieved for their young master.

After returning home that day, Qiao Yi sat alone in the room for a long time, and always felt that something was missing in the room alone, and when she thought about it carefully, it turned out that the person who was by her side was missing.

He had never experienced a person's loneliness before, it was because there was no one he missed in his heart, but now, he realized this feeling.

I don't know what happened to that man outside. I don't know if the flood in the south is serious, how the disaster relief is going, whether the plague is under control... The information in this era is really too closed. There is no internet or phone, and they are so far apart. If you want to know the news of the other party, it is not easy to talk about.

"Hey..." Thinking of this, Qiao Yi sighed, lying on the bed and being unable to sleep all night.

After finally falling asleep in the middle of the night, I had a dream and woke up before dawn.

books

The summer morning is a bit stuffy, and the air seems to be sticking together, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

There was a thin layer of sweat on her body. After getting up, Qiao Yi changed out of her obscene underwear and put on clean clothes. After washing her face with cold water and wiping her neck and body, she felt more comfortable.

"Master, did you not sleep well last night?" Zizhu found that their master's complexion was not very good, and his energy was not very good, so

asked.

The weather was too hot, the little white tiger was so hot that it lay motionless beside its master, sticking out its pinkish pink tongue.Qiao Yi stretched out his hand to touch the little tiger, and when he heard what the little maid said, he said lightly, "It's okay."

"Master, why don't you rest at home for a day today?" Zizhu saw that their masters go to the clinic every day, and they rarely stay at home to rest, unless their princes are at home, the masters will be there Stay at home for a day.Seeing that their master's complexion is not very good, Zizhu is naturally concerned about their master's health, so he doesn't want their master to go out.

"I'm fine, you go out and call Wei San to see me." Qiao Yi waved his hand and let people go out.

Zi Zhu took a look at their master, but in the end she didn't persuade her any more, she answered "Yes", turned around and went out.

Wei San quickly came in from the outside and asked, "Master, are you looking for a subordinate?"

"Well, didn't Xie Yin tell people to look for the water source before, did you find it?" Qiao Yi remembered that Xie Yin said this before leaving Beijing. He was so busy these days that he almost forgot, so he remembered this today. He asked Wei San about this matter.Wei San shook his head, and said truthfully, "Not yet."

"In that case, let's go out and look for it today." Qiao Yi said.

Wei San looked up at their concubine, and replied: "Yes."

"Oh, and in the name of Yixintang, let's find a few masters to survey and drill wells in the four directions of the city, east, west, and north, and drill a few wells each." Qiao Yi said.The reason why he didn't use the name of Prince Ming's Mansion was because he didn't want to make Prince Ming's Mansion too public at this time, but he did it in the name of Yixintang. Except for some people who knew it, ordinary people didn't know his relationship with Prince Ming's Mansion.

Anyway, he, Princess Ming, rarely goes out to meet people, and people outside only know Doctor Qiao Xiao.

"Okay." Wei San agreed, and went out to ask someone to do it.

On this day, Qiao Yi took people out to find a water source.

He usually stays in the city a lot, and he rarely comes out for nothing. He knows that the capital has not rained for a long time. It should be said that there is little rain in the north this year, and drought has appeared in many places.Farmers depend on the weather for farming. If it does not rain, the crops in the field will die. If the drought continues, even people will have no water to eat, and people will die.

Seeing the withered and yellow crops in the field, Qiao Yi got off the horse and reached out to touch a handful of ears of wheat. There were not many fruits in the handful of ears of wheat, they were all shriveled and seedless.

At first glance, the ground was dry and cracked, no wonder the crops were so wilted.I'm afraid this year's harvest will not be too good, Qiao Yi thought in her heart.I met an old man on the road, and he asked him a few words.The old man said to him in detail: "We are renting the land from the landlord's family and planting it. We wait for the millet to be harvested. We have to give [-]% of the millet to the landlord's family. Every year after the autumn harvest, the imperial court will send people to collect the grain tax..."

It is said that the tyrannical government is fiercer than the tiger, and the various exorbitant taxes of Dayan have been reduced by other previous dynasties, but for the common people, they do not have much land, which has to be handed over to the landlords for land rent, and also for the imperial court. , and in the end there is very little left.

"If this is a good year, it's okay. If we work harder, we can still have a good meal, right? This year, hey..." The old man shook his head, looked at the people leading the horses, and guessed which family the young man belonged to. My young master, who came to play outside, vomited a lot of bitterness, told someone, then turned and left.Qiao Yi didn't stop him. Looking at the back of the old man leaving, he sighed and said lightly, "Let's go ahead and have a look."

Wei San led people to follow behind their little princess, and followed their little princess to find the water source.
