Chapter 10.dilemma.

On the day when Shen Junzhi left the capital, Qiuqiu, who was taking a medicinal bath, shuddered.

She yawned a little, and there was a sound of shutdown in her ears.Looking down, the psychic jade hanging around his neck emitted a soft light, and in just a moment, the soft light disappeared again.

Qiuqiu clutched the jade around her neck with her plump white hands, she felt that the piece of jade had a bit of coolness, and it was no longer as warm as usual.

Just as he was about to put the psychic gem in front of his eyes for a closer look, Qiuqiu heard two light footsteps coming from outside the door.

It was Xu Shi and Yuanchun who came.

Although it is midsummer now, Yuanchun is still afraid that the draft will startle her sister.So she just carefully pushed the door open a crack, which only allowed her and mother to pass sideways.

Seeing her younger sister playing leisurely in the mahogany bathtub embossed with big peonies, Yuanchun rolled up her sleeves and poured a ladle of hot water for her.

Feeling the rising temperature around her body, Qiuqiu retracted her hands, looked at Yuanchun pitifully and said, "Sister~ it's so hot."

The little girl's voice was crisp and sweet, it sounded like eating a bowl of milk ice cream in summer, it was sweet and refreshing.

Yuanchun only felt that her little sister was so cute, and couldn't help pinching the little girl's thin red face, which was steamed by the heat, Yuanchun smiled and said: "Baoyu bear it, you have soaked for so long, if the water temperature It's cold, you should catch the cold."

Xu looked at her two daughters, and the smile in her eyes reached the bottom of her eyes.Using a handkerchief to carefully wipe off the lotion on the eldest daughter's hands, Mrs. Xu turned around and took another pack of brown medicine powder, pouring it into the mahogany tub where the ball was soaking.

The water in the tub had just turned translucent, but when the package of medicine powder went down, it became semi-solidified green again.Xu looked at her little daughter nervously, and asked warmly, "Is the baby uncomfortable? Do you want to add a little more water?"

Qiuqiu stroked his little hands and feet in the pot of semi-solidified green paste.While exercising, she only felt a coolness seep into her limbs and bones, and when that coolness gathered in the inner palace, it turned into continuous warmth.She just felt happy and didn't feel any discomfort.

So when she heard her mother's question, the little girl shook her head, lay on the edge of the bathtub, and said coquettishly to her mother: "Mother, help me with my hair, it's very difficult to wash it here."

Seeing that Qiuqiu didn't feel any discomfort, Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.She lightly tied her little daughter's soft hair into a double bun, and took a clean handkerchief to help her wipe off the sweat from her face.

The mother and daughter gossiped for a while, until the green color in the bathtub gradually faded, and the paste in the bucket turned into clear water again, and then Mrs. Xu fished Qiuqiu out of the bathtub.

After taking care of the little daughter herself, Xu said: "Sister Yuan, can you take my younger sister to take a nap? Mother will go over to join you in a while."

Yuanchun nodded obediently, took her sister's soft little hand and went to another room.

In that bathroom, Mrs. Xu slowly dipped her hand into the bath water of her youngest daughter just now.At the bottom of that bucket of clear water, there are still a little bit of green left.Xu picked up a round green bead with her fingers, and the green ointment shattered between her white fingers, and Xu felt a burning pain in her fingers.

What she sprinkled into the ball bath barrel was a special medicated bath ointment according to the prescription passed down from generation to generation in the Dongping County Prince's Mansion.The physique of the Xu family is the most suitable for inheriting the exercises, but even so, they also need to be supplemented with special medicines to temper the tendons and strengthen the body.

The effect of the ointment is miraculous, but when tempering the tendons, because the stagnation in the tendons needs to be opened, the pain to be endured is also very bearable.Xu once heard from the elders in her family that even her father, who was as resolute as her, used to cry out in pain when he was young.

At the beginning, Xu was worried that her Baoyu would not be able to bear it, because at the beginning, the little girl really resisted the big steaming wooden barrel.But soon Xu discovered that it was probably not that her little girl didn't like taking medicinal baths, but... she didn't like taking baths?

After putting a few floating boats in the bathtub of my little girl, the little girl sat in the bathtub obediently and never cried or acted like a baby again.

The color of the medicated bath became lighter, indicating that the little girl was able to absorb the ingredients in the medicated bath.And she didn't feel any pain or discomfort, which meant that there was no stagnation in the little girl's veins. Such aptitude was indeed rare in a hundred years.

Now that Qiuqiu is five years old, his muscles and bones have been warmed up to the best condition, Xu stared at his little girl day by day, and began to plan to teach her martial arts.

As a weak girl in her boudoir, Xu could not teach her youngest daughter Xu's family skills in person.And she made one move back then, and now the emperor has a few successful people around him.However, their mother and daughter are still in the inner courtyard of Jia's family, no matter how much Qiuqiu pretends to be a man's upbringing, they can't practice martial arts in an open manner.

Seeing that her daughter's muscles and bones are already formed, if she delays any longer, I'm afraid it will miss the best opportunity to practice martial arts.Xu was anxious, but helpless.

At this time, Nong Xian pushed open the door and said to Xu: "Madam, Master Zhu is back."

Just as he was talking, a thin but extremely gentle young man came out from behind Nong Xian.He was wearing a light blue Confucian uniform dyed with bamboo patterns, holding a white jade folding fan in his hand.Although Jia Zhu grew up in the capital, for no reason, he brought with him a bit of the culture of children from the south of the Yangtze River who have been infiltrated by mountains and rivers for many years.

It wasn't until Jia Zhu walked in front of Mrs. Xu that people realized that this seemingly frail boy was already taller than his mother.

Although Jia Zhu has been studying in Jia's family these years, most of the time, he was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to listen to the teachings of the great Confucian Zhang Wendian together with Shen Junzhi.Although the Zhang family has been in charge of the prince's enlightenment to study for generations, Mr. Zhang has a strange temper.He just doesn't like the noble but somewhat stubborn and martial nineteenth prince, but he has a special affinity with Jia Zhu who is often with the nineteenth prince.

Therefore, Mr. Zhang insisted on taking Jia Zhu into the door and became a closed disciple.Before Jia Zhu, Mr. Zhang had several outstanding disciples, all of whom were outstanding disciples of his Zhang family. Now some of these people have been officials to cabinet bachelors, and several others are extremely famous talents in the court or in the field.

Zhang Lao is a bit old, although he devotes himself to teaching his apprentices, it is inevitable that there will be times when he is unable to do what he wants.Therefore, the matter of teaching Jia Zhu must always fall on his senior brothers.

Jia Zheng once wanted to reprimand Jia Zhu academically, but he didn't want to. When he reprimanded his son, Jia Zhu was accompanied by a bookboy who was sent by Zhang Lao.

The book boy reported Jia Zheng's words to Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang was so angry that he rushed to the place where Jia Zheng was on duty, pointed at his nose and cursed - saying that his students were shallow, and this was not directly beating him face?It would be fine if Jia Zheng's words were true, Mr. Zhang really didn't need to be so fussy with the younger generation, but what Jia Zheng said was just to show his so-called "majesty of being a father", all the theories he said were fallacies, it was just nonsense .

Mr. Zhang is very knowledgeable, and he also quotes scriptures when he scolds people, which is brilliant.Jia Zheng has always been the most hypocritical person, and his relationship with his colleagues is not very good, not to mention that Mr. Zhang came in person. Even if someone transcribes Mr. Zhang's words, so that they can be circulated to each other later.

Jia Zheng lost a big face in front of the scholars, but was blocked by Mr. Zhang and could no longer attack Jia Zhu.And his wife is of high status, and she is also the object that he can't say or scold.Depressed, besides drinking and talking poetry with those Qing guests every day, he also ran to Aunt Zhao's room more frequently.

Aunt Zhao was indeed a childbearing woman, but within half a month she became pregnant again.

When she knew she was pregnant again, Aunt Zhao actually didn't want the child.The concubine of this dynasty is lowly, it's good that she has a girl now, the left and right wives are kind and can always give her daughter a good future.Now this one doesn't know a man or woman, so why bother to let this child suffer this humiliation?

But Mrs. Xu persuaded her that they were the descendants of the Jia family. If she really fell for it, even the old lady would not be able to explain it.What's more, although the concubine was severely suppressed in the division of family property, he could still obtain fame after all.As long as the child is born, it's fine if it's a daughter, or if it's a man, as long as you teach it well, it's unknown if you can earn a royal order for her in the future.

October melons are ripe, and it turns out to be a boy.Jia Zheng looked down on the concubine the most, even if it was his child, he didn't care.In the end, it was the Xu family who named the child according to the family tree of the Jia family, and let the whole family call him "Fourth Master Huan".

Now, 15-year-old Jia Zhu stood in front of Xu.This time, he didn't come to greet Mrs. Xu normally, but he had something important to discuss with her.

"Mother." The young man hesitated, but he still said it: "My son just came out of the palace, and the uncle said that he wanted me to go to Jinling with Ah Zhi."

The uncle Jia Zhu mentioned was naturally referring to the current Holy Majesty.After all, Shen Junzhi was two years younger than him, and the two were playmates who grew up together, so asking Jia Zhu to call him "little uncle" really made things difficult for him.

The Xu family knew somewhat about the emperor's plans.And now her eldest son has turned fifteen, and although he has not yet achieved the right fame, it is indeed time to get in touch with these things.Immediately, Xu thought of a way to break Baoyu's predicament.

Mrs. Xu narrowed her eyes slightly, patted the elder son on the shoulder, nodded and said: "Zhu'er will take the Gongsheng examination next year. Shengjing is so noisy, it's not as clean as the old house. Why don't you tell the old lady about it? Her old man allows you to go back to Jia's old house for a while?"

Jia Zhu's eyes lit up.He has been taught by great Confucians these years, and he has no shortage of literary talents and strategies. The only thing he lacks is the opportunity to go out to practice.But now that this opportunity is in front of him, his only worrying mother doesn't stop him, it's time for him to try his fists for the first time.

Seeing her son's smile beyond words, Mrs. Xu added slowly: "However, Mother has a request."

Jia Zhu was stunned for a moment, then asked nervously, "What request?"

Mrs. Xu: "Bring Baoyu."

Jia Zhu was startled, and blurted out: "Impossible! How can the old lady let me go?"

Seeing her son's anxious face, Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand to poke Wen Run's face, and said with a smile, "Then it depends on your ability, Zhu'er."
