After the big fool gets married

Upon hearing the news of Wu Xuan's return to Beijing, Gu Jin and Tan Yan came to the door the next day.

Seeing Wu Xuan alone, Gu Jin wondered, "Why are you the only one at home, where is Doudou?"

Wu Xuan said unhappily: "I was picked up by the people from the Marquis of Wu'an." Early this morning, as soon as the two of them woke up, the people from the Marquis of Wu'an came to the door.I also said that I was considerate of Doudou's hard journey, so I didn't come to pick him up last night.

As soon as Doudou left, he was left to look after the egg at home alone. One person and one egg looked at each other, which was extremely desolate.

Gu Jin laughed out loud, "Doudou is just out of the house, you don't need to make such an expression!"

Wu Xuan snorted coldly, every time Marquis Wu An picked someone up, he was reluctant to let him back, and insisted on picking him up in person.He originally planned to pick him up at noon today, but Gu Jin and Tan Yan came and disrupted his plan.

Fortunately, Gu Jin and the two didn't know what Wu Xuan was thinking, otherwise they might have turned around and left.

Wu Xuan personally made tea for the two of them, Gu Jin took it, and took the initiative to talk about some recent things in Beijing.

Wu Xuan listened attentively, he knew a little about most things, but not as detailed as Gu Jin.

"By the way, there is one more thing that you probably don't know. Du Ge always wants to marry Liu Siyuan."

"Ah?" Now Wu Xuan was really surprised, "Mr. Du Ge and Siyuan?" As a cabinet minister with real power, Mr. Du Ge came from a scholarly family, how could he fall in love with someone like Liu Siyuan who has no background? Children from poor families.

Could it be that his daughter is too vulgar and can only be married off?

Gu Jin could tell what Wu Xuan was thinking by looking at Wu Xuan's expression, "Mr. Du Ge's youngest daughter has just reached the age of ji, and it is said that she has a beautiful appearance and is quite talented."

Wu Xuan said: "That's even more strange, why did Mr. Du Ge marry his daughter to a poor family?"

Elder Du Ge had two daughters in total. The eldest daughter entered the palace. After Empress Feng left, Concubine Du Gui was the highest-ranking concubine in the palace. Even the concubine Xian who gave birth to the eldest prince was a rank lower than her.With such a sister, Du Gelao's youngest daughter should not marry.

"A child from a poor family." Gu Jin looked at Wu Xuan, "Du Ge always chooses him because he is a child from a poor family."

Wu Xuan said: "You mean, Mr. Du Ge's move is to win over students from poor families?"

Gu Jin nodded.The establishment of the Dalan Dynasty was an uprising of nobles. Emperor Zhenwu himself was from a noble family, and most of his followers had family backgrounds. From the founding of the country to the present, almost all the important officials in the court were from noble families.However, with the implementation of the New Deal and the development of the imperial examinations, more and more students from poor families have emerged, which is also a great force.

The Du family is a great Confucian, and already has a very good reputation among literati. If Mr. Du Ge married his daughter to a poor family with no background, his reputation would be further improved, and these poor children would automatically favor him. his camp.

During this period of time, with the return of Marquis Wu'an, Gu Ge's entry into the cabinet, and the birth of the First Prince, the reformist faction has completely overshadowed the conservative faction.Du Ge always wanted to stabilize the power in his hands, so he had to do something.

"However, Siyuan never mentioned it to us." Wu Xuan said.

"According to what I heard, Liu Siyuan's mother agreed, but he himself disagreed." That's why Mr. Du Ge didn't spread the matter. If they hadn't planted spies beside Mr. Du Ge, it wouldn't be so early Know.

"Of course he won't agree." Wu Xuan still remembered the way Liu Siyuan hugged Qiu Fenghong and got drunk, the sadness on his face showed the deep affection.

"It's a good thing for us that this marriage can't be done." Gu Jin smiled, "Xing Bin also has a younger sister, although she is a little bit bigger, but she is very nice, I wonder if Liu Tanhua would like to get in touch with her. "

"Farewell, it's better not to get Siyuan involved in your messes." A nerd like Liu Siyuan should still spend three years in the Imperial Academy to get used to the officialdom before talking about other things.

"Hahaha, you're still protecting him." Gu Jin changed the subject with one sentence.

Wu Xuan didn't talk any more, but asked Tan Yan, "Why does he look so worried, is the tea too bad?"

"Ah, no." Tan Yan put down the tea bowl in his hand, "It's something else."

Gu Jin advised him, "Don't worry, there are so many imperial physicians in the palace, it will definitely get better."

"I'm mainly worried about Elder Sister. How can she hold on to her without sleep every day?" Tan Yan bit his lip, his eyes full of pain and pity.

Wu Xuan asked: "Is it the First Prince?"

Gu Jin nodded, His Majesty went to find the doctor with great fanfare, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

Tan Yan said in a hoarse voice: "Ever since the eldest prince was born, he has been in poor health. Elder sister has not even sat in confinement and has been taking care of him. A few days ago, the eldest prince passed out again. Yesterday when we entered the palace , haven't woken up yet."

It may be because he is about to have a child. Now that Wu Xuan heard about this kind of child's illness, he couldn't help but pay more attention to it, "What is the disease of the eldest prince, and what medicinal materials do you need?"

Tan Yan shook his head, "The imperial doctor didn't know what the disease was, but said it was weak. His Majesty was also like this when he was young, but the Eldest Prince's physique is worse than His Majesty's."

Although the emperors of Dalan Kingdom have been weak for three consecutive generations, they can still grow up safely, and the situation of the eldest prince, I am afraid that even—

Wu Xuan couldn't help but said: "I have a wild ginseng in my hand—"

"Brother Wenxuan's kindness, I accept it on behalf of sister, but His Majesty is very strict with the eldest prince, and any foreign food and medicine are not allowed."

Wu Xuan also knew that he was impulsive just now.Ginseng is a great tonic, so it should not be given to children, especially babies who have just been born for a few months.However, neither medicinal materials nor food can be given, so how can the repairing agent be exposed to children.

Seeing that both of them were frowning, Gu Jin comforted and said, "Ayan, didn't you ask for a peace talisman for the eldest prince? Maybe it will be fine if he wears it."

"I hope it will be useful." Tan Yan knew in his heart that asking for a peace talisman was just a psychological comfort.

"Safe talisman?" Wu Xuan recited it twice, and suddenly thought of a way, "Brother Tan, let me give you a safety buckle, wearing it will keep you safe."

"what?"

"The safety buckle made by Nuanyu is the most suitable for children." Wu Xuan reached into his sleeve, pretending to take something out of the sleeve pocket, but actually took out a ring-shaped safety buckle from the storage jade pendant, Pass it to Tan Yan.

Tan Yan took it over, and the quality of this peace buckle jade was excellent, and it was warm to the touch, so it was very precious at first glance.

Wu Xuan looked at Tan Yan, "Brother Tan, do you believe me?"

Tan Yan nodded.

Wu Xuan said: "This safety buckle was a gift from an expert I met by accident. If you really believe me, go into the palace tomorrow and put it on for the eldest prince. Remember to wear it close to your body."

Tan Yan hesitated, "Will the First Prince wake up after wearing this?"

"I can't guarantee that he can wake up, but as long as he wears it close to his body, it will definitely be good for his body." Wu Xuan said, "If you trust me, give it a try. It won't hurt anyway."

Tan Yan looked at the warm jade in his hand, "Okay, I'll send it to my sister tomorrow." Even if it doesn't have any effect, wearing this kind of top-quality warm jade can still keep you healthy.

"Thank you, Brother Wenxuan." Tan Yan said as he was about to put away the safety button.

"Hey wait a minute—" I haven't soaked in the repair agent yet! "It's so rude to be so bare, you always have to tie a lanyard and find a box to put it in."

Wu Xuan snatched Ping Ankou and went to the study.

Soon, Wu Xuan returned with a small silver box in his hand. When he opened the box, he could see a red string tied to the safety buckle. The color of the string was slightly darker, as if it had just soaked in water.

-

After sending Gu Jin and Tan Yan out, Wu Xuan went to the Marquis of Wu'an to pick up Doudou.

But Tan Yan saw that it was still early, so he left Gu Jin and went straight to the palace.Since what Wu Xuan said is so firm, let's give it to the First Prince for a try. If the First Prince really gets better, sister can take a rest.

When Tan Yan went, he only had one or two hopes.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the safety buckle was hung around the eldest prince's neck, and before Elder Sister had time to fasten the swaddling clothes again, the eldest prince opened his eyes!

Although his face was still pale, his hands and feet were still weak, but the eldest prince finally woke up!

In the evening, when His Majesty came down to Concubine Xian's Palace, the Eldest Prince was already hugged by the nanny and was able to breastfeed by himself.

After the imperial doctors made a diagnosis, they couldn't find the reason. They could only attribute it to the blessing of the emperor, and the blessing of the eldest prince.

Only Concubine Xian put the safety buckle back on the child after all the imperial physicians had retired.

She believed that it was the safety button sent by Ah Yan's friend who saved her child, but in a place like the palace, the greatest gratitude to the benefactor is not to expose the benefactor.

Since the other party sent the things in through Ah Yan's hands instead of directly presenting them to His Majesty, it must be out of the same consideration.

-

That afternoon, Wu Xuan spent nearly two hours in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion before picking up Doudou.

On the way back, Wu Xuan chatted with Doudou while walking, "Gu Jin and the others came over today and talked about something. Doudou, I'm afraid we won't be able to celebrate the New Year in the capital."

"Send you a new errand?" Doudou asked.

Wu Xuan nodded, "The Lushi Salt Field in Jiangyuan Province."

There are only two months left before the Chinese New Year. Originally, Master Lu meant to let Wu Xuan stay in the capital for the Chinese New Year, and then send him to the next saltworks after the Chinese New Year.Wu Xuan also discussed with Wu Wentao to go back to Wujiacun together after the New Year's yamen is sealed.

As a result, Du Ge's old faction was so anxious to be suppressed by the reformists that they even wanted to grab such an errand as the reconstruction of the saltworks.

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry is a protégé of Mr. Du Ge, so he took the book directly and recommended Xia Tengfei and two other candidates. He also said that Xia Tengfei had also participated in the reconstruction of the Yugu Saltworks, and he would definitely be able to do the job well.

Of course, Gu Ge's old school is not a vegetarian, so he immediately listed Wu Xuan's advantages and directly refuted them.

The method of drying salt was proposed by Wu Xuan, and he has successfully presided over the reconstruction of two salt farms. With rich experience, as long as he wants to go, he is naturally the best candidate.

After a quarrel between the two parties, it was finally decided that Wu Xuan must leave for Jiangyuan Province immediately. If there is any delay, Xia Tengfei and his party will be replaced.

"Brother Xuan, are we leaving soon?"

"Well, the formal appointment documents should come down tomorrow." The carriage walked slowly, and Wu Xuan leaned half his body into the carriage, "Doudo, this year we will celebrate the New Year far away from home."

"Not far. Wherever Brother Xuan is, that's home."

Wu Xuan, who was still a little melancholy, couldn't help but let out a laugh, "Doudo, why are you so good at talking!"

"I'm telling the truth." Doudou said seriously.
