The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Yuan Du saw that his younger brother was acting uncharacteristically, he didn't even have the smiling face when he was going up, so he couldn't help getting closer to him when he was going down, patted his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong? It's like a little bird that's been drenched in the rain. "Yuan Kang didn't want to talk. When he thought that Yueyue said that he didn't want to communicate with him anymore, but the pigeon came back this morning and there was nothing, his heart was half cold. How could he have the heart to joke with his elder brother?

"Get away!" Why didn't you write back to him?It's reasonable to make such a fuss, but there is always a reason to be angry with him, for no reason, it made him suffer so much, he didn't sleep well last night, it was all because of her cold and frosty sarcasm.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Du, who was pushed away, pulled Qin Bao, "What's the matter with your master? Who are you angry with?" The age difference between his younger brother and him is too big, Yuan Du often Also brother and father.

Qin Bao was also worried for the master, he whispered, "Your Majesty, you don't know, and you don't know what's wrong, you had a good talk with the master before, but yesterday you suddenly turned your back on it and didn't even reply to the letter ... Grandpa is sad and confused, is he suffering?"

"Who? Miss Jia's family?"

"Could it be someone else? It's her who asked the master to cut up and burn all the pouches and sachets she gave her. Alas, it's quite a scene." Qin Bao saw his master like that for the first time. My heart aches to death, "Young Lord, what do you think is the matter with this woman? The former son was fine, and he wrote a poem against the master, and even drew a portrait of the master for him, and asked him to color it himself. For an hour, just, just say something that is not in line with etiquette, and treat each other like a guest in the future. Isn't this deliberately playing tricks on people."

Yuan Du immediately became angry when he heard this, "What a Jia family, how dare you tease my younger brother like this? Hmph, I don't think she knows the heights of heaven and earth! Look at me..."

"Hey hey hey, don't you, Prince of the county, just give me an idea, or help our lord to find out what happened. Don't talk about small things about you, but if you treat Jia If the eldest daughter of the family does something, it will be my father who is uncomfortable." Qin Bao hurriedly said.

This is also true, if the young couple are playing tricks, can he still intervene?Yuan Du nodded, "I see, you go and take good care of him."

"Yes, the prince of the county." Qin Bao trotted to catch up with Yuan Kang, and quickly helped him, otherwise he would have forgotten to cross the threshold.

The emperor who changed his year name to Yanzai was approving the memorial when he heard the eldest prince Yuandu come in without raising his head and said, "There is an accident in Shanxi, I want to send your younger brother, but your mother refuses to let you go." , what do you think?"

Yuan Du straightened his body and raised his hands and said, "My son is willing to go." He and his younger brother had calculated that according to the Shanxi governor's way of making trouble, even if they could be fooled for a while, it would not last long. Sure enough, the emperor knew about it.

"You are loyal." Emperor Yanzai put down the ink brush and walked to the desk, "Come here."

"Yes."

Emperor Yanzai pointed to Shanxi on the laid-out territorial map, "Then you go. You have to do three things on this trip. I'm on the fold."

Thinking of his father's rule that he would only rest after reading the scriptures, it must be so much that he couldn't bear it, Yuan Du held back his laughter, and immediately agreed.

"Second, ask Ai Shijing for me. Didn't it say that wind and tiger, cloud and dragon, and salt and plum complement each other? How did the good situation become like this? Not only the people complained, but even most of his subordinate officials had opinions." Emperor Yanzai shook his head lightly. He had tried Ai Shijing's knowledge back then, and Jia Zheng's policy theory was even better. In addition, he came from a poor family and had a poor reputation.I wanted him to go to Shanxi to see and learn more, so as to increase his qualifications so that he could use them again, but unexpectedly he was there.

"Yes." Yuan Du also really wanted to ask the governor of Shanxi, is he really stupid or fake smart?

Emperor Yanzai then drew his finger to the west, "Third, help me keep an eye on that side, there are news spies coming to report, there seems to be some uneasiness, there is a change."

Xijiang is going to make trouble?Yuan Du's face became more solemn, "I must investigate carefully."

"Well, I'm at ease when you do things." Emperor Yanzai coughed lightly, and he looked at his eldest son, "I don't need to tell you, you also know that you need to ask your fourth brother about the situation in Shanxi."

"My son knows." Now that the father changed his title, Yuandu immediately became more accommodating, and he immediately stepped forward to hold Emperor Yanzai's hand, "Father, you should also pay more attention to your body. It’s all there, where can it be done.”

Emperor Yanzai was so useful that he accepted his son's concern. He sat down, talked with his son about some things in the court, and asked after a while, "Is your brother not feeling well today? I'll watch him from above. You don't look good?"

Yuan Du couldn't help being envious when he heard it, this youngest son and grandson are not only the lifeblood of the old lady, even the father is an exception.

It's rare for the father to be so gentle today, Yuan Du smiled and said, "Is he trapped by love?"

"Oh?" Emperor Yanzai couldn't help laughing when he heard the news, "Who is it?"

"Father, do you guess?" Yuan Du deliberately wanted to show off Guan Zi, he thought that Father would never guess that this person is the eldest girl of the Jia family.

Emperor Yanzai thought for a while and said, "Which maid in his room is it?" Seeing his son shaking his head, he said again, "Or which talented person from the empress, good praise?"

Still not right, he frowned slightly, could it be that he ran outside and was jumped by some magical woman?

Seeing his father raised his eyebrows slightly, Yuan Du was also afraid of going too far, so he hurriedly said, "It's the eldest daughter of the Jia family."

"...Jia Yue?" Emperor Yanzai asked in surprise, he was really surprised, otherwise he wouldn't have said all of his boudoir names.

Yuan Du said, "Isn't it? My son also felt very surprised. Who knew that they not only built plank roads openly, but also crossed Chencang secretly."

Sure enough, he has his own cleverness. It's his son. Knowing that he will be his wife in the future, he ran to meet his future wife in private.Emperor Yanzai turned his face into a smile, "Isn't that very good." He was not so rigid, since the queen saw that the eldest daughter of Jia's family was of good character and appearance, she made this marriage for her son, and the relationship between son and daughter-in-law He didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate when getting along with each other.

"I just don't know why, well, the big girl suddenly ignored him, so I'm feeling uncomfortable." Yuan Du joked about his younger brother. At the beginning, he felt that his younger brother was overly protected by his father, queen and queen, and he had no chance to see him. It's scary to a woman.

Just as Emperor Yanzai was about to say something, he blinked again, and suddenly thought that he called Jia Zheng and told him that he would go to Guangdong and Guangxi to be the governor.

Could it be that?

He couldn't help standing up, thinking about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more interesting it was, and he couldn't help but let out a loud voice, "Hahaha, interesting, interesting." This Jia Zheng, hahaha, this Jia Zheng, It's quite a set.

Jia Zheng wanted to use this method to tell him that he was not satisfied and was sent to do that drudgery again.There is more room for him, and he can't just let him go to Guangdong and Guangxi, but to continue the negotiation.

"Hahaha, good." Emperor Yanzai was really happy. For people like Jia Zheng, he still felt that he was slippery before. His family has two hereditary and meritorious talents, and he married his family , if it is not pressed, it may become a problem.Now it seems that he also has his own shortcomings, and he is brave enough to even show his dissatisfaction in front of him, the emperor and his father.How to ride the waves without wind?As an emperor, he will not be afraid of courtiers asking for credit and rewarding him!Right now, he lacks such a capable and flexible real governing minister, who doesn't need to talk like Ai Shijing.

In the past few years, they did not dare to make big moves, worked hard day and night in political affairs, and adjusted the government. Many places forbeared and held back, just to consolidate the throne.Now, after he has endured for so long, he can finally start his reforms.

This is why the number has been changed and extended.

If you want to continue for ten thousand years, you must reform to eliminate the disadvantages!

Yuan Du didn't know why his father was laughing, so he stood there stupidly, waiting for Emperor Yanzai to find out before waving his hand, "Go."

"My son, leave." Yuan Du stepped back slowly.

Emperor Yanzai ordered the eunuch, "Call Jia Zheng here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Guizhi officially declared his illness and put up a "free battle card".

Ask Dr. Zhang to prescribe a Ping An pulse for her, and at the same time make some medicinal food for dryness and moisturizing the skin in autumn, and ask his apprentices if they can go to Guangxi, Guangdong.

Dr. Zhang has been famous for following Wang Guizhi for so many years. He is not short of fame or fortune. He enjoys studying and teaching medical skills every day. , What exactly do you want to do?" To talk to this proprietor, you don't need sophistication, it's best to go straight to the point.

"Doctor Zhang, you have been with me for so many years. From the capital to Shanxi, you left your pharmacy and followed me back to the capital. I will not hide it from you. Our master is going to work in Guangdong and Guangxi. I heard that there are poisonous miasma, dense forests and ferocious animals. Shui Ze, I’m afraid that it’s inconvenient for us to go there for a while, so we must first send someone with medical skills to go and have a look first, and make preparations first.” Wang Guizhi has already sent the first wave of vanguard teams to wait for them When I come back, I will prepare some favorite and commonly used things that local residents need to use to inquire about news and conduct a preliminary survey of the business environment.

So that's the case, Doctor Zhang nodded and thought, "If that's the case, then I can send my second and fourth disciples there. They have good medical skills, are good at communicating with people, and have good looks." He didn't have high requirements for apprentices. All you have to do is have a good memory, be steady and conscientious, and have a kind and dignified character. Therefore, some disciples are not good at words and tend to get nervous when they speak. That's why he asked this question.Since you are going to resettle in a new home, and you have to be kind to others when you travel a long way, it is better to choose someone who can speak well.

"Okay, by the way, I can bring some young apprentices there, and see if it can be used as a place for the production of medicinal materials. In addition, Doctor Zhang, please prepare more medicines. I heard that there are frequent beasts over there."

Wang Guizhi was shocked by Jia Zheng's description. He really thought that Guangdong and Guangxi had not been developed much, and they were all poisonous snakes and beasts.She thought about the humidity and heat in Guangdong. Apart from allowing one rice to be harvested three times, it seems that there is really nothing like winter. There may indeed be a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"Of course it is."

"By the way, I heard that moisture easily enters the body over there, and the locals often drink herbal teas to dispel dampness, etc. Please ask Dr. Zhang to study this aspect."

I drank it once in my previous life, and I will never forget it. It is really a kind of herbal tea that is bitter or not, astringent or not, let alone sweet!Up to now, she still doubts why there is a market, such as Luo Han Guo and chrysanthemum tea are obviously much better!

Doctor Zhang should get out of the mansion gate, and take the carriage back to his Zhang family medicine shop, there is also a continuous stream of pedestrians at the gate.

When the apprentices saw him coming back, they all stood up and greeted him, "Master, you are back."

"Yes." Doctor Zhang told the shopkeeper to prepare the anti-snake-bite and poisonous insect medicine first, and then said to the disciples, "This time, Jia's mansion will find two people from me to go to Guangdong and Guangxi. Is there any one of you willing to go?"

"I go."

"I go!"

After following the master for these years, it is rare to have the opportunity to practice medicine alone, and everyone is a little excited.Dr. Zhang, regardless of wealth or honor, teaches without discrimination, and at the same time, he is a real colleague, without prejudice, and he selects apprentices carefully. As long as he is willing to go back to his hometown and open his own shop, he will be paid accordingly if he continues to practice with the master, so everyone has a good relationship. The private atmosphere is also lively.

Seeing that they were all willing to go, Doctor Zhang nodded in satisfaction, "Then let the second and fourth go first this time, they have clean faces and can talk."

"Thank you, master!" Zhang Huazhou thanked before closing the door.

Doctor Zhang laughed, "You don't have to thank me, you guys will go ahead and be your teacher and your brothers and sisters, and then you will be there." He also benefited a lot from a trip to Shanxi. This time his wife is going to Guangdong and Guangxi, how could he not go? Woolen cloth?
