[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Chapter 38 The 9th Year of Hongzhi

Zhu Houzhao was in a daze of illness, blind and deaf, and he only felt that there were people around him who were gentle and loving, and his hands were clean, warm and strong.He didn't know who this person was, he was so like Du Ruo, if he survived by luck, he would definitely reward him heavily.Later, he became seriously ill, and his whole body felt like falling into hell, suffering from the frying and freezing, and he didn't know what was going on with Du Ruo. Fortunately, he was in the palace and Du Ruo couldn't come, otherwise it wouldn't have brought him down.

Xue Ji took the medicine, and the dangerous illness from the medicine spread quickly, and Zhu Houzhao passed away for a while.When he woke up again, he could faintly hear the sounds around him.Someone wiped his hands for him, and said to him something like today's vegetable and carp soup.Zhu Houzhao only felt familiar, but his mind was too messed up and he couldn't think.

After a few days, his health gradually recovered and he was able to eat some food. Only then did Zhu Houzhao realize that Du Xiaowu had entered the palace behind his back, and he was both moved and angry at the same time.Seeing that he was really angry with her like a child, Du Ruo knew that he was getting better, so she calmed down and coaxed him no matter how awkward he was.

Anger is anger, and Zhu Houzhao knows that Du Ruo is so dependent on life and death because of deep love.If it was said that the love between myself and Du Ruo was just like a firewood, after this incident, it has been transformed into another kind of relationship at a higher level that can be entrusted with everything.Therefore, there is no gap between Du Ruo and Du Ruo in his heart, and he puts all his heart on Du Ruo.

In case of emergencies, Xue Ji's medicines are very risky, but in normal times, Xue Ji's prescriptions are the most reliable.Zhu Houwei has been taking Xue Ji's medicine all the time. His condition was mild at first, but now the herpes has suppurated and scabbed.The only thing to worry about is that he is still too young to take care of himself, and he is afraid that he will scratch the itchy part of the long flesh and leave more scars.

Zhu Houzhao was also getting better day by day, and was able to get out of bed and walk around.Seeing that the two masters were recovering, Du Ruo fell ill again.

Du Ruo thought he had been vaccinated, and he couldn't take care of Zhu Houzhao so much, so he contracted the disease.Du Ruo first had a fever and pain all over her body, and two days later she developed a rash.Zhu Houzhao blamed himself in his heart, if it wasn't for himself, why would Du Ruo have to suffer so much.

Du Ruo comforted him and said, "Didn't you say that you would have pockmarks and be disfigured when you recovered? So, wouldn't it be good for me to accompany you?" Zhu Houzhao was even more emotional when he heard this, and naturally he took care of Du Ruo wholeheartedly without mentioning it.

The Ciqing Palace is cut off from the outside world and has no news. They don't know that the outside world has been turned upside down.

The fact that Du Ruo was made Duke was unanimously opposed by Qingliu's family. All the censors wrote a letter saying that Du Ruo had no military exploits and no great virtues. How can Jiao be granted the title of Duke.But Zhu Youtang insisted unexpectedly, he believed deeply in Buddhism and Taoism, and Du Ruo's words rekindled his pursuit of the way of longevity.Moreover, that Zhang Jinfeng had already been captured. On the way to Beijing, there was a thunderstorm, and there was no one alive or dead. There was only a huge white mouse corpse left in the cage.All the officials and messengers couldn't explain it, which made Zhu Youtang believe that it was the Bodhisattva who came down to earth to accept him.

There are not a few people who were in the East Palace back then who are high-ranking officials, and Du Ruo's family is not the only one who is enshrined as a Marquis.Although there are differences in small things, they are one in big interests, and they all support Du Ruo.For these reasons, Zhu Youtang insisted on making Du Ruo the Duke of the state.

The crown prince, the second prince is seriously ill, and there is another trend in the court to persuade Zhu Youzhan to accept the concubine.It's just that Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others wrote that the emperor's second son was still ill, and the empress would give birth again.

Liu Jian's home was also in chaos.Although the matter of Zhu Houzhao had nothing to do with Liu Dong, the things that Jin Yiwei found out were really not good-looking, and even said that the Liu family was greatly embarrassed.Zhu Youtang also temporarily hated Liu Jian for this matter, fined him for a month, and asked him to take care of the family affairs before coming back.

There is also a child in the family who has been ill due to drug abuse and needs to be taken care of, and private affairs in the back house need to be dealt with one after another. Liu Jian seems to be several years old in the past few days, with gray hair on his head.

Seeing that Mrs. Bai ordered the imperial doctor to be sent away, Mrs. Liu sat there paralyzed and sighed. "Think about my Liu family's generations of scholarly families, who are the most virtuous. There is no such poisonous woman. My Liu family will be ruined by them."

Bai Shi sat on the couch crookedly, the little girl beat her legs for her, but she didn't speak.One is Mrs. Liu's main wife, who has been married for a lifetime, and the other is a daughter-in-law who has given birth to a grandson and has the merit of passing on the family line. Mrs. Liu himself can scold her, but she may not necessarily scold her.

After moaning and sighing there for a while, Old Master Liu remembered that Liu Jian was still taking care of his seriously ill great-grandson in the backyard, and asked Bai Shi again: "Cheng En is better, what does the imperial doctor say about his illness?"

She opened her eyes a little, but Bai still kept her eyes closed. "It's still the same. Physician Liang said that if the dog days are passable, it will be saved this year. If not, it will be in autumn."

Grandpa Liu sighed, wondering what evil he had done, why his family suffered so many disasters in the past two years.The daughter-in-law, eldest grandson and husband and wife went to one after another, and now Liu Dong is sick again, and the only great-grandson is not going to make it through this year, so he still talks about it.

After taking a few sips of tea, Liu Jian came in alone with a sad face.Liu Jian sat down under Grandpa Liu, and asked, "Doctor Wen, is he leaving?"

Seeing Liu Jian coming in, Mrs. Bai waved her hand to ask the girl to straighten herself up, and replied with a smile, "I've guessed that someone has already sent her away. Doctor Wen said that there is no need to interfere, and told him to take good care of him. It may take ten days and a half months to be completely safe." alright."

Liu Jian finally drank the first sip of tea today. Seeing the good news finally came, he was relieved and said, "The matter of En'er can only depend on the destiny. Anyway, it's not that bad for me to save Dong'er's life." I'm worried, I have an explanation." He looked at Old Master Liu again, saw that his face was very reluctant, sighed and said: "There is an old house built by our family in the old year next to the Kushui nunnery, and the nunnery mansion also takes care of it all the year round. That’s right, now that Mrs. Zhang is dedicated to Buddha, let her go there to practice penance.”

Old Mrs. Liu opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. His tongue seemed to be heavy with gold.After being silent for a while, he said: "Let's make up your own mind. I was sorry for her, but I'm useless. After all, she is your aunt. If there are any problems, please bear with me."

After hearing this, Liu Jian held the teacup tightly with one hand. "Father, don't say that. Mrs. Zhang is a member of the Liu family. Who would dare to lack her for food and clothing. But Mrs. Zhang, I plan to divorce her, and I ask the master to look at it."

When Bai saw their father and father playing games, she sneered in her heart, and when Liu Jian mentioned Xiao Zhang, she had other plans in mind. "You are not young anymore, you have your own ideas about these matters. I just want to remind you, whether you want to divorce or make another plan, don't forget that you still have a baby third son."

Bai Shi had a good plan in mind, since she married into Liu's family, it is needless to say the hardships of being a concubine, she was fed up with the anger of her two daughters-in-law.A Wan family is the daughter of the famous "Paper Sange Lao" Wan'an family. She has always claimed to be born in a famous family. Although the rules are good, the Bai family feels that she looks down on her mother-in-law who was born in a poor family.One is the niece of the nemesis of the nemesis Zhang, needless to say in detail.Now that something happened to Mrs. Zhang, it was not his chance.

Mrs. Liu naturally didn't want Liu Jian to divorce Xiao Zhang.The matter of Liu's family is related to royal secrets, Jin Yiwei naturally dare not spread it to the outside world, and now no one knows what happened in Liu's residence.If Liu Jian divorced the Xiaozhang family, it would prove that there was indeed something wrong with the Liu family.Family ugliness should not be spread outside, and coupled with the relationship of the Zhang family, if possible, Mrs. Liu still does not want Liu Jian to divorce the Zhang family.

Seeing that what Bai said was exactly what he wanted, he also echoed: "She doesn't abide by women's morals, and there are other ways to punish her. Anyway, don't let her cause trouble in the back house. After all, Bao'er is your son. There is such a Mother, what will he do when he grows up?"

When Liu Jian heard this, he didn't feel well either. Liu Jie seemed to be a good boy on weekdays.Although her mother didn't know what her heart and lungs were made of, but other than being too pampered, she taught him well, she was polite and intelligent.

"The little Mrs. Zhang has been bedridden since today, and she never sees outsiders." Liu Jian convicted Mrs. Zhang with one sentence.Liu Jian actually wanted to kill her. Liu Lai was the eldest son of him and the Wan family, and he had always valued him the most, yet she killed her in such a secret way.Liu Dong and Cheng En were lying on the bed because of her.

Bai sighed: "This is the best. Since Bao'er's mother is sick, let him come to me. Although I am old, there are still many maids and women. At least I will raise him so that his mother will not be sick." things affect him."

"Then I'll trouble Mom." Liu Jian was annoyed. He felt sorry for Liu Jie, felt that he was only dragged down by his mother, and didn't want to see him. Whenever he saw him, he would think of his dead brother who was about the same age as him. The body is afraid that it is a grandson who will not live long.Now it's just right for the Bai family to take over Liu Jie.

Mrs. Liu wanted to say something, but the words changed again, "The doctor Wen recommended by the Marquis of Anding is really skilled in medicine. Now that the cause of the disease has been found out, let the artisans in charge of gardening put those tulips, bamboos, etc. Change peaches, evening primroses, cloves, etc."

The cause of the disease that could not be found out after seeing many imperial physicians, was actually found out by Doctor Wen at a glance.Most of the rare plants that were planted in the changed furnishings were poisonous under the pretext of being afraid that Liu Jian would see things and hurt others back then. The body is getting weaker and weaker.Doctor Wen heard that Liu Zizi had a heartache since he was a child, and said that the eldest son was probably born with a heart disease and could not smell cloves and evening primroses, so he died.All the people in the Liu family knew the wolf heart of the two Zhangs, big and small.No wonder, Mrs. Zhang would rather live in such a remote courtyard than in the courtyard.

"I've already given orders to change them into bamboo groves and plum groves." Liu Jian finished speaking for a while, drank a cup of tea, said that people from the Wan family would come to visit later, and left again.

The author has something to say: Tuberose is native to South America, and it didn’t exist in the Ming Dynasty. This is mainly to make up the number, because it’s really unreliable for other plants with similar effects to appear in Liu’s Mansion.It's a small bug.Everyone pat.
