An old lady's life

Taking advantage of the darkness, Lou Gao's seven people hurried back to the capital, and only stayed in Wu's residence for less than two quarters of an hour. Under the darkness, the seven quickly returned to the palace to hand over work to others.

It was May, and the night temperature was moderate. It was rare for Emperor Changping not to visit his concubines tonight. He took Commander Wu to drink and enjoy the moon in the courtyard. They naturally noticed the movement of the guards, so none of the seven people were left behind. summoned.

Emperor Changping smiled and said: "Old Wu, it seems that you are not far away from your children and grandchildren."

Wu Tong drank the wine and smiled happily, "Isn't the emperor envious? This is not worth it." There are several princes under the knees of the princes, and the prince has no sons. King Sujun, King Xiangjun and King Gongjun are the sons of the princes. There are bastards, and the emperor had grandchildren in his arms more than ten years ago.

Facing the emperor's inquiry, Lou Gao and the others dealt with it with ease, did not disclose their respective blind dates, and talked about eating, drinking, and having fun at the outing party. The emperor knew what he wanted to know, so why would he ask Lou Gao and the others Whether the marriage will be successful or not.

Commander Wu also made fun of his apprentice, and the two monarchs and ministers grasped this well, and got along well with each other.

Commander Wu was not able to speak privately with the seven apprentices until Emperor Changping went to bed. At this time, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, and the full moon was only a ray away from the sky, casting a clear light on the earth.

He was not married, Commander Wu really wanted all his apprentices to have a family, but fate was hard to say, knowing that three apprentices had gone for nothing, he comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, Zhu Qing and Luo Feng, the girl has no fate with you, In the future, I will always meet a good girl who appreciates you."

Zhu Qing and Luo Feng shrugged their shoulders together, and said with a smile: "Master, you don't think we will be devastated, do you? There is nothing that can be compared with life and death." Since being accepted by the master, he has been training since he was a child. There are also various dangers here, and even if he is seriously injured on a mission, he thinks he will not survive. Even in the current position, there are all kinds of undercurrents hidden. In fact, to be honest, he is just like a master.

"Master, don't worry, this is just a trivial matter. But it's a rare vacation, and it's a good one."

Commander Wu looked at the two apprentices with a straight face, to see if they were telling the truth. He thought that after decades of training his eyesight, he could easily see through whether the apprentices were telling the truth or not.

"Since that's the case, Master can rest assured."

Commander Wu encouraged Yu Yang, Ji Yang, Tan Sheng, and Wei Liang, telling the four of them to take advantage of this opportunity, and then criticized the big apprentice. It must be his stinky face that scared the girl away , the other six people lowered their heads and laughed secretly, none of them told Master about Miss Lin.

Lou Gao was a little helpless: "Master, are you finished?" He murmured in his heart, every time no matter what happened, the master would catch him and teach him a lesson, euphemistically saying that as a big brother, he will be responsible for any mistakes made by the younger brothers , but what good things happen to the younger brothers, and it's not his turn, he thinks he is so sad!

"Master, you have said this over and over again many times, don't you forget?" Lou Gao wondered if Master had a geriatric disease, and he kept saying this over and over since he entered the imperial guard, and he didn't bother , he had heard enough.

Commander Wu waved his hand and sent the apprentices away. He could also take a good rest. He was old and trained too much when he was young, but he didn't get proper maintenance later. In fact, his body is not as healthy as ordinary people.

He didn't care about it before, but he has taken in so many apprentices, thinking about his own situation, he has to find a way out for the apprentices.These imperial guards are supposed to serve the emperor for the rest of their lives. The goal of a person's life is to serve the emperor. He has no family encumbrances, and he is [-] points better than others. I don't regret it, but Commander Wu has some regrets now. He is afraid that his body will not be able to hold on. Without him behind him, the apprentices will be skinned and swallowed alive by those old foxes in the court.

Commander Wu is also somewhat regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have led his apprentices on this road. Like Lao Hu, he never revealed his identity in front of the three apprentices. Then they can stand alone and earn a little money outside, without having to worry about their lives all the time, and live a peaceful and stable life.

As for Emperor Changping, who was sleeping on the dragon bed, he closed his eyes and let many pictures flash in his mind.Thinking about the situation of Dafeng since the beginning of this year, there have been no reports of huge disasters from various places. This is consistent with the results of his fortune-telling from Tianyiyi long ago. In the past few years, the weather in Dafeng has basically been good. After this point, there will always be a year of disaster. If it is serious, any kind of disaster can be encountered. Thinking of this, Emperor Changping suddenly opened his eyes. This year and next year, we must It is necessary to increase efforts to store food to deal with the following disaster years.Emperor Changping, who was still thinking about Concubine Pingyang and Princess Jingrong, immediately forgot about them. One of the best women in the clan.

Ai Cao knew that Lou Gao's seven people had returned to Beijing, and in exchange for seven people represented by Shang Yong and Yu Jiang, Ai Cao hadn't seen Yu Jiang, a handsome boy with a baby face, for a long time.

"Old madam, are you safe?" Shang Yong and Yu Jiang brought five younger brothers who had never shown their faces in front of the old lady while everyone else was running around to play.

Ai Cao smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you two." Her eyes fell on the other five people, who should be Hao Ding's elder brothers from six to ten.

After introducing them one by one, Ai Cao knew who was who.

Hao Ding’s elder brothers from sixth to tenth were named Hua Hai, Gu Cheng, Mo Ping, Mu Seng, and Ying Xing respectively. Hua Hai looked rather old-fashioned. He was only in his twenties, and he looked like he was in his thirties. .Gu Cheng and Mo Ping's temperaments tend to be gentle, but they are not as gentle as Shang Yong's.Mu Monk and Ying Xing are two completely different people. Mu Monk looks a bit bitter on the surface, and people who see him will not feel happy. When Ai Cao heard that Commander Wu picked him up, he was Commander Wu seldom thought of a name for a young monk who escaped from a temple that was burned down, or perhaps to keep it as a souvenir, he named him Mu Monk.Ying Xing is very tall, Ai Cao visually estimates that he is almost 1.9 meters tall, he may be the tallest among the brothers, staying with all the brothers is like a golden rooster!

"I only heard about the name but didn't see the person. This time I finally saw it. I will come to the Lin family with your brothers and sisters when I have time to play. Don't worry that if you have too many people, the Lin family will be poor. The old lady promises that the Lin family will still be happy With a background of money."

The five couldn't help laughing, especially when Gu Cheng smiled, there were two dimples on his cheeks, this was the first man with dimples that Ai Cao saw in ancient times.

"Okay, the old lady doesn't dislike it, so I won't bother you in the future." Every time I can only eat the fruit brought back by Shi Shi, the brothers will lose a penny. Hearing Shi Shi show off how delicious the food at Lin's is, Make them itchy for a long time.

Ai Cao happily said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!"

The seven people chatted with the old lady for a while before they parted. Ai Cao could tell from their words that they didn't have much confidence in the blind date. His errand is too dangerous, and he might not be able to return the next time he goes on a mission.

Wormwood can't do anything either, because the closer you are to the emperor, the more you gain the emperor's trust, the more dangerous it is!It's like walking on eggshells!

When they came out in the morning, there were many people. Hao Ding demonstrated his tricks to the seven elder brothers, and everyone dispersed. Hao Ding went to talk to Wan Miaoniang for a long time, but was caught by Cai Kuan on the way. Cai Kuan was tormented for a while, and then met the listless Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan had maintained this expression since yesterday, and Qingqian who was following her was full of worry. Miss Tang should be a forgiving person, even if she was lectured by the old lady, she wouldn't be so depressed, right?

After walking around and returning to the grass, Lin Nuan sat on the chair with his chin in his hands, thinking about the major events in life.

Seeing this, Hao Ding sat directly across from Lin Nuan, separated by a two-meter-wide tabletop, and asked kindly, "Miss Lin, even if my eldest brother leaves, you don't have to be so listless, right?"

Lin Nuan glanced at Hao Ding lazily, and said after a while, "You don't understand." What my aunt said was so complicated, she seemed to understand but didn't understand, she was very confused, okay?

After two days of not touching her medical books and not thinking about her own medical skills, Lin Nuan would perk up a little, thinking that she had forgotten everything, not even the basics that her master passed on to her.

"Hey, Hao Ding, how about I take your pulse?" When the aunt gives her another class in the evening, she should check her health. Didn't the patriarch grandpa say that the aunt is not in good health?

Hearing this, Qingqian immediately took out a silk handkerchief, "Girl, use this to hang on Mr. Hao's wrist." Qingqian felt that although women's morality in Beijing is not as serious as those in Jiangnan, they still need to be careful in public. .

Lin Nuan frowned. In her eyes, men and women are the same, they are all patients anyway.When she was in Suzhou, her brother and sister-in-law didn’t let her go out to practice medicine at all. At most, she was allowed to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and she was not even allowed to go to sell medicine. She had a very hard life that year, so she was delayed on the way to Beijing. for so long.

But after thinking about it, Jingzhong is still better than Suzhou, at least her aunt did not allow her to take a pulse and see a doctor.

Hao Ding waited for the silk handkerchief on his wrist, and was speechless for a while, but he didn't object. Lin Nuan, who had awakened his energy from the pulse diagnosis, was a little less interested, but it was her suggestion, and she couldn't go back on it.

Putting a few fingers on the silk handkerchief, feeling the beating of the pulse carefully, Lin Nuan originally thought that Hao Ding's young face was full of blood and his body must be healthy, but he didn't think that there were countless hidden wounds hidden under his body.Her face couldn't help but feel heavy. Hao Ding's heart jumped when he saw this. Could it be that he has some terminal illness?

Lin Nuan withdrew her hand and asked, "Do you see a doctor regularly?" As a person close to the emperor, you wouldn't even look down on the imperial doctor, right?Or is it that the level of the imperial physician is also very low?

Hao Ding shook his head: "Whoever has nothing to do should see a doctor!"

Lin Nuan gave him a white look, "Forget it, it's inconvenient here, we'll talk about it after we return to Beijing." Lin Nuan thought, her aunt had been telling her a lot of rules these past two days, which made her feel nervous, Hao Ding and the others The people around the emperor, the level of imperial physicians is not too bad, how could they not find the hidden wounds in their bodies?

Hao Ding still had a rock in his heart, "Am I healthy?"

"It's okay, people can't die now." It won't be so in the future. When the child was young, his body was not well developed. Originally, he was abandoned for a few years because he was born and lacked nutrition. Even if the situation improved later, he hadn't fully taken care of him yet. Over-training again, tsk tsk, this is not a god, how could they stand it?

Generally, children should practice martial arts step by step, and they don't have to worry about it until they are 12 years old, otherwise, if they don't pay attention, they will cause incalculable harm to the body.

But it should be since last year that the invisible injuries on his body have shown signs of slowing down, which is a miracle!According to the current speed, even without her prescribing medicine, the body can recover after seven or eight years. This made her very curious, what kind of things he has been in contact with can make the body recover automatically!

Hao Ding's heart skipped a beat: Sure enough, he said with a smile on his face, "It's okay, I'm in good health."

Lin Nuan glanced at him with dead fish eyes: "Your heart is so generous!"

Hao Ding joked a few words, found an excuse, and ran away. Lin Nuan saw that his route was to go back to Yanxi Village, but he didn't know why he ran back to his room.

Hao Ding ran back to his room without taking off his shoes, lying on the bed with his hands under his head, remembering an incident about a year and a half ago.

At that time, when he was returning to Beijing from other places, he happened to rescue an old imperial doctor in the palace. The old imperial doctor was going home to visit relatives, and happened to be robbed, and he happened to rescue him again.Of course Hao Ding thought about it afterwards, the doctor was not short of medicine, even if he didn't take action, nothing would happen to the old doctor, but the old doctor was still grateful to him.

Later, when he was on duty in the palace, he met the old doctor from time to time, and the two of them could chat a few words. The last time he saw the old doctor, the old doctor ran up to him mysteriously and handed him a prescription. , Let him have time to take this medicine to take it. If it lasts for a long time, it can cure the problems in his body, and he doesn't take it to heart. Who wants to take medicine if he is not sick or in pain?The old imperial doctor said that he was old and had already retired from the imperial hospital, and he would leave in September or October, and he talked about it for a long time, saying that this prescription is a conservative and gentle prescription, and his elder brother and younger brothers can use it .

Hao Ding tried hard to think of every word the old doctor said, but it had been a while and he couldn't remember clearly.Almost falling asleep thinking about it, Hao Ding suddenly opened his eyes, and the look in his eyes suddenly faded away.

When eating lunch at noon, the seven elder brothers were a little surprised to see the younger brother so quiet, but no matter what they asked, Hao Ding just didn't say anything, and he was listless.

In the afternoon, when Lin Nuan saw him, she realized that she hadn't seen him for a few hours. Why did she feel that Hao Ding had changed?

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Nuan asked suspiciously.

Hao Ding shook his head: "It's okay, I'm so sleepy!"

Before saying a few words, Hao Ding ran away. In less than half a quarter of an hour, a woman sat in front of Lin Nuan. She remembered that this was the person Hao Ding tried his best to please these days.

Wan Miaoniang was a little strange, Hao Ding would talk to her every morning and afternoon, she saw him here just now, but when she came, he ran away.

"Miss Lin." Wan Miaoniang was a little embarrassed and said with a smile.She did not misunderstand the relationship between Hao Ding and Miss Lin. Hao Ding must have said that Miss Lin had an extraordinary relationship with his elder brother.

Lin Nuan also smiled: "It's not a coincidence for you to come, Hao Ding just left."

Wan Miaoniang blushed even more now, "I saw it." Wan Miaoniang frowned, and Lin Nuan followed her line of sight, only to see Liu who she helped last time. The girl and a young man were talking with a smile, one looked very pitiful, the other looked as graceful as a dragon, a man and a woman were very suitable.

Lin Nuan blinked: "That can't be the cousin of the Unruly Princess, right?" Lin Nuan said that she didn't understand Liu Manru's thinking, and she still wanted to join in with this man even though she was insulted because of this man.

Wan Miaoniang bit her lip, her eyes were full of gloom, and she said in a low voice, discouraged, "Yes, I don't know what she thinks. Is the Marquis of Weiyuan so easy to advance?"

Wan Miaoniang forgot to inquire about Hao Ding's affairs, and skipped Liu Manru and the cousin of Princess Diaoman.The Wan family is just a small family, not as well-mannered as a big family. Even if Wan Miao Niang is strictly demanded by her mother, but her family background is there, and her mother always loves her daughter, so Wan Miao Niang is pampered and very lively. .

Both of them talked about their hard times when they were young, and they still cherish each other!

"Miss Lin, you know how to see a doctor, so will you continue to be a doctor in Beijing?" After hesitating for a while, Wan Miaoniang said again: "Many rules always prevent women from showing their faces, otherwise you will be flooded by everyone's spittle. dead."

Lin Nuan felt timid, but nodded firmly: "Of course, what else can I do if I don't become a doctor?" If I don't become a doctor, she has nothing else to do.

If her aunt refuses to let her become a doctor, she will leave the Lin family. Anyway, she has lived well outside for the past six months.

Wan Miaoniang immediately admired her very much, the two of them were already sitting together, she grabbed Lin Nuan's hand and put it on her wrist, "Then, can you see if there is anything wrong with my body?"

Feeling the pulse is a sacred thing for Lin Nuan, she has always taken it seriously, and the result of taking it seriously is that Wan Miaoniang is scared to think that she has some terminal illness!

Seeing her like that, Lin Nuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous." She held hands with Wan Miao Niang, and said, "You just have a bit of palace cold, it should be because you got cold when you first had menstruation, and every time after that I felt abdominal pain during menstruation, and another one didn’t pay attention to practicing martial arts when menstruation came. Excessive force aggravated the pain. Menstruation pain, most women will have this problem, yours is not serious, after getting married and having children Basically, it will be fine. But don't worry, after returning to Beijing, I will write a prescription for you to recuperate, and the pain will gradually disappear."

When it comes to menstruation, marriage and childbirth, Wan Miaoniang is extremely shy, but she has all the conditions that Lin Nuan said, she can't help being a little surprised, she is really good at medicine, and she can tell her body just by feeling the pulse What's wrong!

"Then I would like to thank Ms. Lin." No matter what, Ms. Lin also had good intentions, and she could not refuse Ms. Lin's kindness.

With a common topic, friendship between women is easy to establish.Wan Miaoniang was close to Liu Manru and Zou Jing, but when Liu Manru wanted to be the heir of the Marquis of Weiyuan, the three views were different, and the two gradually drifted away, and Zou Jing had always been taciturn, and she even Since she couldn't figure out what she was thinking, Wan Miaoniang had no choice but to break up with Zou Jing.

This afternoon, the two got together and chatted together. Wan Miaoniang knew that she didn't understand everything in the capital when she first came to the capital, so she talked more about the excitement in the capital, especially the Yueyang Tower last time. The picture of students meeting friends through literature is still in Wan Miaoniang's mind, and it makes her feel excited when she thinks about it.

"Is it really that good? Then I will see it next year."

"That's right, there's also the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival." Wan Miaoniang looked around and said, "The dragon boat race is very lively, especially this year's dragon boat race. I’m a wealthy businessman, but he won millions of dollars. I pestered my father for a long time before he agreed to take me and my brother to watch the dragon boat race.” Unfortunately, there were too many people that day, and we couldn’t see far in the crowd. .

Beside Qingqian muttered in her heart, there are not many millions, but it is only more than 100 million, and it is rumored that she has won several million.

In the evening, Ai Cao called Lin Nuan into her room as usual. She didn't plan to teach her tonight. Anyway, the content of the past few days was enough for Lin Nuan to absorb. The same was true for this girl's master. He didn't know how to teach her some rules before, but Her mother died young, her brother and sister-in-law were unreliable, her father was old, and no one taught her. She said that it was not all her fault that she annoyed everyone in Suzhou.

"Okay, my aunt won't play by the rules tonight." The rules are not meant to restrict her. After all, one person's power is too small to change the entire era, so he can only blend into this era and understand the rules to be able to do a job with ease.

Lin Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, completely ignoring her aunt's words, if she doesn't behave properly tonight, there will be no less rules in the future.

"Auntie, let me feel your pulse." In terms of medical skills, she did her part.

Ai Cao stretched out her arms: "Okay, Nuan Nuan is a good boy, and he is thinking about his aunt's body." She never thought of restricting Lin Nuan, so what if a woman knows medical skills?

Lin Nuan smiled brightly. She supported her aunt's arm with one hand and put her other hand on her wrist. After less than a quarter of an hour, she lowered her wrist: "Auntie, you are in good health."

There is nothing she can do about the natural exhaustion of her life, she only sees a doctor.

Ai Cao caressed her head: "Thank you Nuannuan. I saw you and Miss Wan talking so happily this afternoon, it seems that you hit it off very well."

Lin Nuan couldn't help grinning: "She's very nice, she told me a lot of interesting things in Beijing, and I promised to invite her to play with me in the future."

"Of course, we Nuannuan need to make more good friends."

An aunt and a niece had a great time together. Lin Nuan wanted to mention Lou Gao, but she didn't say anything. After leaving her aunt, she felt a little depressed.

On the east side, Hao Ding finally finished coping with his brothers' cross-examination, and hid in his room under the pretext of taking a rest, still thinking about the problem he discovered in the afternoon.

The author has something to say: has been replaced
