It was Chen Zhen who told Jiang Ming that it was best to marry a woman who was actually a married woman.
It was also Chen Zhen who said that such women do not need betrothal gifts when they become concubines.
It was Chen Zhen who said that it couldn't be more casual for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
But why didn't she realize that her son's words were referring to Song Laowu's wife.
"Son, you are confused..."
Chen Zhen couldn't help crying.
Lian Xin, the maid serving Jiang Mingshi, heard everything before and after.
She couldn't help but be stunned. This idiot even dared to think about her sister-in-law. She was nothing.
After all, Jiang Mingshi was overly pampered by Chen Zhen. He was so spoiled that he couldn't even grasp his own identity and status.
This time, Jiang Ming might lose his little life.
Lian Xin pursed her lips and tears could not help but fall out.
If Jiang Mingshi dies, what will he do in the future?
And Chen Zhen.
Although she was usually a bit harsh, she still adopted her when she was living on the street. After all, Chen Zhen was kind to her in raising her up.
How would this old woman survive without her only son?
It's better that this matter didn't become a big deal, otherwise the entire Jiang family would have suffered. The general's wife tolerated them until now because of their brother-in-law friendship. As a servant, what she did in the general's mansion these days was too much.
Having suffered a loss this time, Jiang Mingshi and Chen Zhen may have to take it easy.
Lian Xin suddenly thought that the doctor who had been treating the general's wife recently seemed to be a master in the palace. Perhaps Chen Zhenqiu could kowtow in front of the general's wife and admit his mistake, and maybe he could invite this miracle doctor to come over and treat Jiang Mingshi.
Lian Xin was about to tell Chen Zhen about this.
Chen Zhen said one sentence and almost choked Lian Xin.
"If you really like the fifth daughter-in-law, you should tell your mother in advance. She must have a better way to make you happy. Now that you are like this, what should you do to your mother..."
Jiang Mingshi's eyes were red, and even though he was about to die, he still had a filial look on his face: "Mom, I just don't want you to worry too much... But now, I'm about to die, and I still want my fifth sister-in-law. Mom, can you help me?"
……"
"Don't talk nonsense, you will definitely live a long life, you will not die, never!"
Chen Zhen wiped away tears and gritted his teeth: "Whoever caused you such harm will be settled by my mother. Don't worry, I will make that bitch obey you."
The son of their Jiang family couldn't just leave like this.
Even if you die, you still have to take a companion with you.
After the geisha from Jiangnan Yunlou gave birth to her child, Chen Zhen wanted to let her sink into the pond.
The fifth daughter-in-law of the Song family also needs to try to conceive a child of the Jiang family while her son is still alive.
"Mom, I like her, I really like her."
"Son, don't worry, I will make you fall in love with her tonight!"
Lian Xin watched this scene and swallowed the words that were on her lips.
Just now, she actually felt sorry for Chen Zhen and Jiang Mingshi.
She really deserves to die.
Her heart should be eaten by dogs, and she should never have any pity for the mother and son.
…
noon.
A group of military ministers came down from the court.
Lunch has been arranged in the imperial dining room, and a group of people wearing black gauze hats, collared shirts and belts are heading towards the meal.
Song Chengyu accompanied Song Xiuyan. The former had a jade belt around his waist, a robe with narrow sleeves, and a first-grade lion pattern inlaid on his body.
The latter's waist is plain silver, and the same robe has narrow sleeves, but his body is made of embroidered patches.
"Where did you sneak around last night?"
Song Xiuyan asked suddenly and looked at his son.
In the past few days, during evening discussions, my son seemed to have been absent for some time.
Previously, he thought that Song Chengyu had gone to find a place to rest secretly because he was bored and uncomfortable after staying up late.
But yesterday, when Song Chengyu came back, he was exhausted and his eyes were blue. The most important thing was that Song Xiuyan saw some mud on the soles of his shoes.
The imperial city has dedicated personnel cleaning it every day, so everything is spotless.
Since the palace cannot be stained with dirt, the dirt can only be brought in from outside.
You must know that they entered the palace under orders, and leaving the palace without permission is a serious crime.
Song Xiuyan responded quietly and said: "I feel bored, so I went to the Imperial Garden for a walk."
"Royal Garden?"
"Well, His Majesty said before that the harem has been evacuated from the Imperial Garden. If we are tired these days, we can go to the Imperial Garden and walk around to relax our muscles."
"Although I say this, it is a forbidden area in the harem after all. Don't go there again."
"I understand, father."
Song Chengyu's respectful look made Song Xiuyan feel that something was wrong.
On weekdays, when talking to this guy, he always gets a few words of criticism, but today he was so submissive, which made him feel weird.
Still thinking about asking, Song Xiuyan saw a red robe on the side with a pattern of a first-grade crane embroidered on it... Zhou Huansheng...
Oops.
Song Xiuyan hurriedly said to his son: "Old rules, father needs to go to the toilet, and ask the attendant to leave some food for father later."
After saying that, Song Xiuyan walked quickly in another direction.
By the time Zhou Huansheng arrived, Song Xiuyan had disappeared.
Zhou Huansheng glanced at Song Chengyu, his eyes full of discomfort: "Tell me about your father, a man of his age, but he is as small as a child!"
Song Chengyu bowed respectfully towards Zhou Huansheng.
Zhou Huansheng had no choice but to play with his juniors, so he waved his sleeves and left.
Song Chengyu continued to move towards the dining area.
In the corridor, I saw someone waiting.
Xue Lin waited for Song Chengyu to come forward, bowed down respectfully, took out the previously prepared medicine from her robe and handed it to Song Chengyu.
"Take this pill with warm water and use it for more than a month to cure the disease."
Song Chengyu took the medicine and said, "Thank you very much."
The two looked at each other, and the surroundings became quiet for two minutes.
Song Chengyu raised his eyes and asked proactively: "Is there anything else?"
Xue Lin smiled sadly, with a hint of sarcasm on her face: "Young student is reckless, but as Colonel Song said, it's not easy to be an official."
He came to the palace hoping to use the resources and power of the imperial city to advance his research on medicine and medicine to a higher level, so as to benefit the world and comfort the people.
Therefore, when the Song family recommended him, he was mostly dissatisfied with the position of the ninth-grade physician.
But after all, he had endured the hardships of the past ten years or so, and he didn't care about spending another ten years trying to reach the position of a first-class imperial physician.
"Encountered difficulties?" Song Chengyu asked.
Xue Lin lowered her head: "It's not just a difficulty, it's a challenge... Someone actually told me that as long as I gave her a colorless and fragrant medicine that can cause abortion for no reason, I would be promised a pill.
Position."
"You refused."
If she hadn't refused, Xue Lin would never have informed Song Chengyu of the matter.
Xue Lin's brows were clear and she said: "I have hesitated, after all, a first-class imperial doctor is what I dream of."
He raised his eyes, and there was even more justice under his beautiful face: "May I ask Colonel Song, if I had become a first-class imperial physician, would anyone still find me doing such despicable things?"
Song Chengyu looked indifferent: "Of course there are, I'm afraid there will be endless ones."
"But, by then, what will they use to seduce me and convince me?"
"Take what you want, money, lust, power, status..."
"But what if I don't care about these things?"
"Then I will coerce you and take everything you value, your relatives, lover, children, apprentices and... your research... If these fail, then the only thing waiting for you may be..."
"Death?" Xue Lin did not expect that the only outcome waiting for him was this.
If there is no flow and pollution, then there will be only clear water but no fish.
