Chapter 306 He 'looks down upon' the little princess
Summer is coming as expected.
Xiao Duan's summer is bitter, and he is old and dare not use more ice, so he can only cool down his drinks a little.
It was extremely hot this summer and it was really uncomfortable, but she was in an especially good mood.
There have been a lot of good things going on at home these days.
Laoshi Lane is making money, all the houses are rented out, and they are in very short supply.
According to the share agreed with the auxiliary country, Chen Gui sent this quarter's harvest a few days ago.
These harvests will not be included in the public accounts. Although Mrs. Chen feels that it is not necessary, the old lady and Lin Yunyan have already agreed on the matter. She will not carelessly talk about it as a money manager, so she found another reliable account name and exchanged the banknotes.
They were all handed over to Xiao Duan for safekeeping.
Holding the banknote in my hand makes me feel more at ease.
Xiao Duan also discussed with Lin Yunyan that the banknotes were easier to carry, but in reality, it was most practical to exchange them for gold.
Li Cuna and other people, in the end, they also save gold bricks.
It's a pity that the person is gone, the gold is not taken away, and the gold is not left to the young son.
Lin Yunyan also likes gold and likes to separate the gold.
Eggs cannot be in one basket.
They were buried under the Shenghui Pavilion, and the rest had to be hidden elsewhere to avoid being caught in a pot when trouble came.
With plenty of cash on hand, Mr. Duan became more confident in planning the marriages of his two granddaughters.
Lin Yu went to ventilate his breath first, and asked Yu Pu to privately invite Mr. Jing Qianjing from the Hanlin Academy to act as a matchmaker and to preside over the groom's wedding ceremony.
Jing Hanlin had been an official for many years and had a good personal relationship with Lin Yu. Among the new batch of common people, Yu Pu was the one he was most optimistic about.
Hearing that Yu Pu was planning to marry the eldest daughter of the Chengyi Mansion, Mr. Jing was surprised and sighed at the same time, and accepted the matter with a smile.
Before the horoscope came out, both parties kept silent. It was not until the result came out that the news spread.
After Yu Pu entered the Yamen, he received a circle of congratulations one after another, and his face was red all morning.
Of course, there are not without doubts, but the voices are all behind the scenes.
There really isn’t any colleague who looks up but doesn’t look down when he looks down. He wants to be the thorn in his side, or is being used as a spearhead, and dares to say something unpleasant to his face.
Yu Pu had heard some rumors.
If you climb a high branch, it will definitely not be pleasant to discuss. Some people will say that he is scheming, and some will be jealous.
Jing Hanlin wanted to comfort Yu Pu for this, but found that it was useless.
It goes in through the left ear and out through the right ear, and it’s fine if Yu Pu has heard it.
"If you have expectations, you will also be prepared," Yu Pu said clearly, "I know what I am like. It is enough for Uncle Chengyi and Miss Lin to know what I am like."
Jing Hanlin couldn't agree more with these two sentences.
With this kind of character and reality, it’s no wonder that I got this opportunity.
Turning around, Jing Hanlin praised Lin Yu again in private.
When a matchmaker talks about marriage, some people do it well, and of course there are also people who do it badly. If life is really difficult in the future, generally speaking, the matchmaker will not be implicated.
But since he has stepped forward to protect the matchmaker, who can't help but look forward to a happy marriage that he has promised to marry?
It is the most boring thing for a group of officials to brag about their official achievements when they meet later. The better their official fortune is, the more modest they have to be. If they want to brag, they can only brag about the achievements of their children and grandchildren. Apart from this, the best ones are undoubtedly "
"Protect Media".
It guarantees a good marriage. When you go out to have tea as a guest, everyone in the family will look high on you and feel happy.
Jing Hanlin thought that this time, he should be able to secure a good relationship.
Being so active, things were done quickly. Jing Hanlin almost pushed for the marriage and discussed it with the Lin family several times.
Everything else is actually easy to handle, the only thing missing is Yu Pu’s family background.
"Add more money to keep the bottom of the box," Mr. Duan discussed with several daughters-in-law. "If we don't do it openly, we won't have to send betrothal gifts in the same way as my uncle. They will also have more money in the future."
Mrs. Chen naturally had no objection, but Mr. Huang hesitated and looked at Mr. Duan.
Mrs. Huang is not dissatisfied with the old lady's decision. It can even be said that she is very grateful to the old lady for her consideration.
Because of this, she was even more worried about the old lady.
Betrothal gifts and dowries are all "face".
Huang could almost imagine what those long-tongued people would say.
"You must be stingy."
"Sure enough, he is the son of a concubine. No matter how nice his words are, when it comes to real money and silver, he will settle the score so clearly."
"I ruined my marriage once and almost lost my money-losing goods. It would be nice to have a place to go. Are you still pointing out the old woman to spend a lot of money?"
"Send it early and make good calculations early. Duke Xu's mansion spends a lot of money, and Uncle Chengyi's mansion also needs to accompany him a lot. Now it's a poor Jinshi who comes and goes, maybe we can lose less."
"In the final analysis, I just don't feel bad. You can see how she will talk to her granddaughter about the marriage later."
The old lady has such a shameless and skinny temper, and being talked about like that is very heartbreaking.
The more he thought about it, the more Mr. Huang felt sympathy for Mr. Duan.
At this time, the persuasion and comfort were all nonsense, and reasonableness was just getting an advantage and acting obediently. It was inevitable that Huang was hesitant to speak for a while.
Lin Yunyan was sitting next to Xiao Duan, and she could tell what she was thinking by looking at her second aunt's expression.
"We should be more generous," Lin Yunyan smiled, "The days are long, and Shujishi must take one step at a time if he wants to make a future.
Mr. Yu and his parents and elders in his hometown must be filial. Since we are sincerely marrying him, we must support him not only in dowry but also in life in the future.
All the things that can be solved with money are small things. If small things go smoothly, big things will go more smoothly.
When Mr. Yu goes up there in the future and it's prosperous, they will know that you can do 'business'."
Little Mrs. Duan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What 'business'? I married my granddaughter seriously, but you said I became a human trafficker."
Lin Yunyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Make a fortune in silence."
These five words really suit Xiao Duan's feelings.
She is not stupid, and she also knows what rumors will arise from choosing such a grandson-in-law.
Does that sound upsetting?
That must be upsetting.
A year ago, she might not have been able to give up her face so happily, but Yun Yan was right, she lived her own life, whether it was good or bad, and her family could see how sincere she was.
After ten or twenty years, it will always prove that her choice today is wise, and that is enough.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the time comes, I will go underground and meet the old man, my sister Duan, and Aunt Gu who gave birth to Yun Jing’s father, as well as the Lin family and the Duan family.
Her ancestors have a clear conscience.
"Okay," Xiao Duan smiled lovingly, "We are waiting to make a fortune."
Hearing what the old lady said, Huang's anxious heart calmed down and she glanced at Lin Yunyan gratefully.
The princess was still clever and chose a suitable direction to express her meaning.
Since Yu Pu couldn't get many valuable things from him, he didn't need much time to prepare. Jing Hanlin discussed it and chose early October for Xiaoding.
Another thing that makes Xiao Duan happy is that the wedding date of Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian has been set.
The Empress Dowager chose November 28th, which was the last suitable day to get married before the twelfth lunar month of the year.
Xu Jian heard this news from the Holy Sage himself.
He was sitting in the imperial study room. Xu Jian couldn't help but be stunned when the emperor mentioned it.
The wedding date was "changed".
From spring next year to this winter, from now on, it will almost be shortened by half.
The reason must be that the little princess persuaded the empress dowager by talking about something.
It seems that he "underestimated" the little princess before.
It is still useful for the little princess to get anxious.
Seeing that Xu Jian was stunned and didn't say anything, the Holy Master became amused and said, "What? The day is too urgent?"
"There's no rush," Xu Jian came to her senses, "I've been making preparations. I can make it in September, let alone November."
"The Empress Dowager is not satisfied that the ninth month is too late," the Holy Sage laughed, "I would like to get you married earlier. Other families have their own opinions, so come here to ask for my will. You are different from Ning'an.
I took the initiative to grant the marriage. It is rare for me to be a matchmaker, so I wanted to do it earlier and have a glass of wine like a great matchmaker."
Xu Jian respectfully thanked him.
There is no need for the Holy Spirit to mention it, Xu Jian also knows in his heart that September is impossible.
September 25th is the death anniversary of the late empress, and also the death anniversary of Lin Yunyan’s mother.
The Empress Dowager is such a particular person, Lin Yunyan will definitely avoid September when she leaves the cabinet. If she can't pick in October, she picks the one at the end of November, which is already an unexpected surprise.
The Holy Spirit was in a good mood, so he talked to Xu Jian about something else.
"I heard that the King of Jin is looking for a good doctor for you?" The Holy Sage asked, "How does your right leg feel lately? Have you asked the imperial doctor to take another look at it?"
Xu Jian said: "It's always been the same. Not long ago, I asked An Yuan to have it checked."
The Holy Master nodded slightly.
Not only was An Hospital sentenced, but when Xu Jian returned to the capital after being injured, he sent almost the entire Imperial Hospital to Fu Guogong's Mansion. Unfortunately, the final result was not satisfactory.
The imperial doctors all expressed their helplessness, and Xu Jian remained passive for a while, then gradually accepted the injury.
The Holy Spirit himself accepted it after repeated inquiries.
It's a pity that he can't guard the border, but Xu Jian is an all-rounder, and given time, he can make great achievements by staying in Beijing.
Rather than looking back to grieve over the pain, it's better to look forward.
But if there is a chance for treatment, the Holy Spirit certainly hopes that he will get better.
A strong person will have more possibilities and directions for Xu Jian himself and for the people employed by the court. More importantly, Xu Jian's leg was injured because of Li Shao.
"Is there any news about the doctor?" The Holy Father asked again, "He will be unable to find the doctor for a long time. I will send someone to find him."
Xu Jian replied: "I heard that there has been some progress."
After hearing this, the Holy Spirit felt relieved.
After the emperor finished his reply, Xu Jian left the imperial study and walked slowly outside the palace gate.
There has indeed been progress with King Jin. Two days ago, King Jin sent someone to send news, saying that they had learned about Doctor Yue's whereabouts.
This is much faster than Xu Jian expected.
King Jin seemed to have used all his strength to climb over the mountain to dig out Dr. Yue.
What surprised Xu Jian even more was that that afternoon, while he was still talking to Mr. Shan in Shuntian Mansion, Shen Chen came to send a message that the Jin King's people had arrived at Fu Guogong's Mansion.
Xu Jian hurried back to his home and met Dr. Yue.
The King of Jin himself did not come forward; the person who sent Doctor Yue over was his chamberlain.
In the flower hall, Eunuch Ye greeted Xu Jian and introduced them.
"I just heard about Dr. Yue's whereabouts. I didn't expect to see him so soon," Xu Jian smiled and told Eunuch Ye, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Ye responded to the words "hard work".
"As soon as they learned about their whereabouts, some people immediately returned to Beijing to report. The others did not dare to delay and followed the whereabouts to find the person. They were afraid that it would be too late and Dr. Yue went to practice medicine elsewhere," Ye Gonggong said. "It was also lucky that he did not miss it.
When we happened to meet him, we hurriedly sent Dr. Yue to the capital. Fortunately, it was a thousand-mile horse, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast."
Xu Jian listened and turned to look at Dr. Yue.
This doctor was the same as Chen Gui described. He was in his fifties, with gray hair and beard, and a pair of sharp eyes.
"It's been a bumpy ride," Xu Jian asked, "Doctor Yue has suffered a lot at such an old age."
Doctor Yue cleared his throat: "Fortunately, I have been walking on mountain trails all year round and my body has been able to bear the stress. My lord, I want to take a look at your leg injury."
Xu Jian stood up and moved to the couch in the side hall.
There was no one else around, and there was a steward waiting outside the hall. Xu Jian took off his boots, lifted up his robe, and took off his right trousers, revealing all the scars on his right leg.
Eunuch Ye saw Xu Jian's injuries clearly for the first time.
On the upper side of the knee, the darkest color is a wound as long as the index finger.
Doctor Yue observed the scar, stretched out his hand, pressed the area with his fingertips several times, and asked Xu Jian how he felt.
After a little diagnosis and questioning, he switched from the fingertips to the palms of his hands and pressed in several places. A thin layer of sweat formed on Xu Jian's forehead.
Eunuch Ye saw it in his eyes and thought it must be painful.
He didn't understand this. Just looking at the scars, they seemed like this, but looking at the reaction, they were serious.
Doctor Yue finished the investigation and said in a solemn tone: "It's not just the bone injury, it also involves the tendons. The injury was not treated thoroughly at the beginning. Now that it has developed like this, it will be much more difficult to treat it again. I dare not say that it is equivalent to another injury.
But you also have to suffer.”
Xu Jian chuckled. This diagnosis result was within his expectation.
In other words, that's how he judged it.
"According to what Dr. Yue said, are you sure it can be cured?" Xu Jian asked.
“I can’t say I’m 100% sure, but it’s worth trying,” Dr. Yue said. “Acupuncture, combined with my unique plaster, and daily medicinal baths for one or two years, can prevent your right leg from getting damaged.
It hurts when it's cold, and it can also make you feel energetic."
When Eunuch Ye heard this, he was busy saying congratulations.
After saying a lot of good things, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Duke Fu's expression was dull and showed no joy.
"You..." Eunuch Ye thought carefully and asked, "Do you have any concerns?"
Xu Jian straightened his clothes and after putting them away, he said: "I can't talk about worries, but can Doctor Yue stay in Beijing for a long time?"
"The Duke can use me, so I should do my best," said Doctor Yue.
Xu Jian said: "The leg injury has a big impact on me. How to treat it, how long to treat it, whether it is good or bad, I am not sure. I have to ask Dr. Yue to write a detailed explanation, and I will think about it again."
After hearing this, Doctor Yue glanced at Eunuch Ye.
When Eunuch Ye saw this, he said: "The Duke of the country is right. When treating injuries, safety is the first priority. There is nothing wrong with giving more consideration. The younger one has to go to the prince to recover his life..."
Xu Jian did not keep them longer and asked Xu Bai to send them away.
Shen Chen remained silent until the outsiders left, then asked softly: "Sir, is Dr. Yue really confident, or is he just saying it casually?"
Xu Jian curled his lips and gave another completely unrelated answer: "His surname is not Yue, and he is not the 'Doctor Yue' as the Jingdong family calls him."
