Jia Cong thought that his sister-in-law had fallen in love with someone special, so he pricked up his ears. The sixth aunt of the Chen family hesitated for a long time and said, "That's it...the family invited an imperial doctor to see my husband."
Jia Cong blinked: "Have you fallen in love with the imperial physician?"
Grandma Sixth Aunt shook her head: "The imperial doctor is over sixty years old. He is his student."
"Hmm. What else?"
Grandma Liu lowered her head unconsciously and blushed: "He has excellent conduct and high medical skills. The old doctor said that he learns very quickly..."
"Wait a minute!" Jia Cong interrupted, "A young and promising doctor has not yet gotten married, but he has friendship with you. What problems do you have if he wants to get married? Why don't you move out of Qi Guofu and ask him to ask a matchmaker to issue a letter of appointment?
Is that good?"
Grandma Liu smiled bitterly and said, "He is a monk."
"..." Jia Cong was speechless for a moment, "Then he has to return to secular life first."
"He may not be willing."
"ha?"
"He was an abandoned baby, but his master raised him." Grandma Liu Gu sighed softly, "His master will never allow him to return to secular life."
Jia Cong thought for a moment: "Not necessarily. That old monk is willing to adopt an abandoned baby, which shows that he has a kind heart; and he is also willing to allow him to study medicine, so he is not a pedantic person."
Grandma Liu Gu shook her head and said firmly: "His master won't allow it, he knows it."
Jia Cong touched his chin: "What did he say?" Sixth Aunt Grandma nodded. Jia Cong thought, "That is probably the information revealed in daily life. If the old monk wants his disciple to devote himself to practicing Buddhism, why doesn't he restrain him?
In the temple? Why do people follow the imperial doctor all over the street?" He thought for a while, "Without investigation, you have no right to speak. What is your name as a monk? Which temple do you practice in? Wait... Are you sure they treat you too?
Interesting? Don’t you have unrequited love? That’s a monk, and your beauty, talent, knowledge, and status may not mean anything to him.”
Grandma Liu lowered her head slightly and said after a while: "I know him."
Jia Cong frowned: "Have you seen your husband since he died?"
The sixth aunt said: "I only met him once. Later when I went there again, his junior brother said that he was chanting sutras and couldn't come out." A strange intuition suddenly popped up in Jia Cong's mind: he was afraid that this matter might be bloody. His expression changed.
Involuntarily, I froze for a moment. The person opposite immediately asked, "Brother-in-law, have you got an idea?"
"There may be some vulgar stories in it." Jia Cong said, "We need to investigate carefully." He pointed to the four treasures of the study on the desk.
The sixth aunt's grandmother relaxed her wrist and picked up the pen and wrote the six words "Wen Kong, Wanshou Zen Temple". Jia Cong was stunned: "Wanshou Zen Temple? Do you recognize the monk Wen Dharma?"
Grandma Liu Gu put down her pen and said, "I have heard of this monk, but I don't recognize him."
Jia Cong frowned. The Wanshou Temple was originally a royal temple, and later it gradually allowed dignitaries to offer incense. After the Four Generals rebelled against the capital, ordinary people could only enter it in the past ten years or so. Monk Xizuo Wenfa, a close confidant of King Yan, practiced in the Wanshou Temple.
He was the wife of the former Tianjin General Soldier; this Wen Kong Mianjian was from the same generation as him, and he also followed the imperial physician to treat the brother of the Crown Prince... It seemed that he should take a trip to their temple to explore the religious world.
It's not that he needs to be reorganized. It was getting dark now, so Jia Cong took out a match and lit the candlestick on the table, and asked: "What disease does your husband have? Is he the direct brother of the concubine in his previous life?"
The sixth aunt was silent for a moment and said: "Yes, my direct relative. He was also a talented man when he was young, but later got sick. I don't know what the disease was." After staying for a while, she said, "He is a good person, but sometimes he is very irritable.
.”
"A young man who succeeds but suffers a disaster from the sky will inevitably have a bad temper." Jia Cong said, "It is the duty of his relatives to comfort him. Although you are also his relative according to secular rules, you did not marry him willingly, so you
There's nothing wrong with not liking him." He paused, "However, it's a bit unwise to not even know what disease he has. After all, when you marry into someone else's family, everything you have is given by them.
"
Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't want to know, it's that they don't want to tell me."
"Huh?" Jia Cong was startled, "You are his wife, and their family didn't even tell you what disease he had?"
Grandma Sixth Aunt nodded: "I have been married for four years and have been a widow for two years. My parents-in-law, my sister-in-law, and the maids and servants in his house live in the same room, and they are all tight-lipped."
"This is strange." Jia Cong thought for a long time while tapping the case with his fingers. "It's so secretive. Theoretically, it's unless he has the disease."
Grandma Liu covered her face and coughed twice: "No."
"If it weren't for... being secretive to his wife... the Crown Princess's direct brother..." Jia Cong hadn't analyzed things like this for a while. He was still a little excited and his mind was spinning fast. Then he suddenly thought of a possibility, "Where are you?
How are you living in the same house with your husband?" The sixth aunt's grandma suddenly flushed with shame, lowered her head and refused to speak. Only then did Jia Cong realize that it was ancient times now. He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry. Rui Jin has to do this kind of thing.
It would have been best to ask you, but unfortunately she hasn't come yet. If you're not in a hurry, just wait until she comes."
The sixth aunt's grandmother covered her face with a handkerchief: "Not much, twice a month. The day is determined by the nanny in his house."
"Do you usually live in the same room?"
"He wasn't happy for me to come into his house."
Jia Cong clenched his fists twice: "Do they have... um, did the imperial doctor tell you to take any medicine to recuperate your body?"
Grandma Liu couldn't help but take off her veil: "It's not the imperial doctor, it's another gynecologist. He said that my bones look strong but are actually weak. It's not easy for me to have children. I have to take several kinds of medicine for recuperation every day."
.I started eating when the marriage was finalized."
"Will you still eat after that person dies?"
Grandma Liu said sadly: "If he is gone, how can I still take my medicine?"
Jia Cong grinded his teeth: "The last question is, how many sons do they have in their family? How many of them are the direct brothers of the Crown Princess?"
"Four. The Crown Princess has two brothers from the same mother. This is her brother, and there is also a concubine."
Jia Cong snorted coldly: "Sister-in-law, you can move out of Qi Guofu tomorrow and I'll find a place to put you."
Grandma Liu Gu was startled, shook her head and said, "I'm just going back to my parents' house to stay for a few days. I have to go back tomorrow."
Jia Cong looked at her and said sternly: "Listen carefully. First, your sisters, I have met Concubine Chen, and Ruijin is my biological wife. Both of them have good bodies and have no problem giving birth to children. From genetics
It seems that you should be about the same. Secondly, your Qi State has suffered a tragic defeat, and Chen Ruiwen is still an official in the State of Wu. That family has a daughter of the eldest daughter of the Yan State. If you are easily infertile, their family will never give up.
I don’t know how many families are willing to send their daughters to marry you. Therefore, the possibility that you have health problems is basically zero. On the contrary, you must have a good body and bones, be easy to give birth to, and have a good appearance, so they chose you.
.”
Grandma Liu was stunned: "Then...I actually started taking medicine when I got engaged..."
"That should be a drug to increase resistance." Jia Cong moved the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically, "That person has an infectious disease. You are really in good health. You have slept with an infectious agent twenty or thirty times, and you actually got it?
Didn’t catch the disease.”
Grandma Liu's whole body felt as if she had been hit with a stick. After a while, a scream suddenly started. The sound was so high-pitched that Jia Cong used all his self-control to hold back his ears. After screaming for a while,
She suddenly burst into tears. After all, she was her sister-in-law, not her sister, and her wife was not here yet. Jia Cong had no other way to comfort her except sitting there. It took her half an hour to finish crying. She wiped her tears and said hoarsely.
Said: "He... obviously knows."
Jia Cong spread his hands: "Everyone knows except you." Sixth Aunt Grandma cried again. Jia Cong sighed, "Why don't you go to the nunnery to live for a while and think about it, do you like that monk? How should I say, he
I must have been ordered not to tell you, but he didn't even hint to you."
Grandma Six's eyes seemed to be on fire, and she shouted hoarsely: "Yes!"
"ha?"
"He hinted at me! He hinted at it many times!" She then fell into recollection and murmured, "So many times...I couldn't understand it." Then she burst into tears again, "How could I have imagined...where could I have imagined it?
go……"
Jia Cong sighed: "Since I hinted at you, you still have a conscience." He thought for a moment and said seriously, "You'd better go to the nunnery to stay for a while. My mother-in-law's family must be quite poor. But..." He thought for a while,
"You should think about that monk again. In the past, when you were still young but fell into a tomb, he was like a light in the darkness. Now that you are looking for freedom, that monk may not be suitable for you. What's more, there is a person hidden behind him.
"Master who doesn't know what to think." and a mysterious temple. Then he looked outside and said, "The lights are also lit, and the streets are filled with snacks and snacks. You might as well go out for a walk, relax, and think about everything tomorrow."
I will send someone to follow you."
Grandma Sixth Aunt raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Brother-in-law, don't you want to go shopping?"
"No," Jia Cong said, "The Lantern Festival is Valentine's Day, and you can only be with your lover."
"That's alright." Grandma Sixth Aunt wiped her tears and said, "Fourth sister has a good life."
"Your fourth sister's good fortune in the past few years was exchanged for the many times she was near death in the palace in her early years. Not to mention the hardships she endured." Jia Cong said calmly, "Do you want to change into men's clothes?"
Grandma Sixth Aunt shook her head: "No."
Jia Cong nodded and stood up: "It's a good time. Maybe you can meet a good husband."
Grandma Liu hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, brother-in-law."
The two then stood up and went out. Jia Cong arranged for two soldiers to follow his sister-in-law and her maid, and they were about to leave. At this time, everyone was standing on the upper floor of the Jinfen Family, and the lights outside were already as bright as stars. Grandma Liu Gu suddenly asked: "Since ancient times,
Since then, men have been at home and the women have been at home. Why does my brother-in-law want the woman to go out and do things?"
"If you come out earlier, you can see the newly posted notice on the street, recruiting temporary snow sweepers with high salary." Jia Cong adjusted the belt on his cloak and said, "Because it snowed heavily today, and there is a lantern festival in the evening, daily
The cleaners may not be too busy. This matter was what Ms. Jia Jinjiang, Prime Minister Lin’s assistant, thought of. Women have their own inherent strengths and are meticulous and thoughtful; not many men can think of this." He put on his cloak.
, "Whether it's your family or other families, the purpose of raising a daughter is mostly to marry off her parents and brothers in exchange for resources or money. Love is often ignored in the face of interests. The purpose of marrying a daughter-in-law in your husband's family is mainly to have children.
Girl." Then she stepped out and others followed.
Turning down the stairs, Jia Cong continued: "Since ancient times, women can only be used for these purposes. Because at that time, male labor was enough, but now there is not enough. Not only is there not enough hard labor, but there is not enough talent. I just
If you can bring your ideas to women, why not make robots now? Besides, as machines are gradually invented, women can do many jobs."
Just as she was talking, she saw a beautiful woman walking towards her from the bottom of the stairs. She was Xue Baochai, the owner of the Jinfen Family. She said with a smile, "Brother Cong is talking about something big."
Jia Cong said: "Explain to a little girl why I want to liberate the female labor force."
Xue Baochai said with emotion: "You and Baoyu are completely different when it comes to urinating, but looking at it now, they are somewhat similar."
Jia Cong immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly said: "Sister, I have misunderstood. Brother Baoyu and I are different. He is willing to work for his sister when he urinates, because he has a simple sense of fairness in his nature. I am willing to help women show their talents.
Talent, because I need these talents. He is extremely rare, but I am ordinary." He glanced at the two beauties around him, "Because I need women, so I try my best to help women. Don't expect anything.
Fairness and justice, this world only values strength." He cupped his hands and strode downstairs.
Xue Baochai watched him turn the curve of the stairs and said leisurely: "What he said is true."
The sixth aunt's grandma also looked at Jia Cong and turned around with her eyes flashing and asked, "Is he really henpecked?"
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Seriously." Grandma Liu Gu felt a lot more peaceful inexplicably.
Xue Baochai just came to the store to check it out. Her husband and children were waiting, so she went back to the house to accompany her family. The sixth aunt of the Chen family stood in front of Jinfenshi's house in a daze for half a day, supporting her maid. People and cars were passing by on the street, and there were many people.
The snow had been swept cleanly. After a while, she said: "Without the snow, the road loses a lot of charm."
The soldier sent by Jia Cong said: "There are so many people. If the snow is not swept away, I don't know how much they will fall. The young ones can only pay it, because children and the elderly are easy to fall. Broken arms and legs during the New Year are too troublesome, so it is better to have fewer
Yum, it’s better to have more safety.”
"It makes sense." Grandma Liu Gu thought for a long time, "I want to go to Wanshou Temple, is that okay?"
"Okay." The soldiers summoned the small green-covered carriage to pick her up, "Madam, please get in."
The maid opened the curtain of the carriage, and Grandma Liu got into the carriage. Two soldiers sat in front of the carriage. The maid exclaimed: "This carriage looks small, but three people can sit in the front." The carriage driver laughed a few times and raised his head.
Horsewhip.
After driving for a while, the maid suddenly heard the maid shouting from inside the car: "Stop!"
"Hey~~" The coachman reined in the horse.
After a while, Grandma Liu ordered her maid to hang up the car curtains and look outside for a long time, then said: "I won't go to Wanshou Temple. Where is the busiest place tonight?"
The driver said: "Zhuque Street is full of big shops, the roads are wide, and it is the busiest. And there is traffic control there tonight."
"What traffic control? Lanterns?"
"No." The coachman smiled, "On the busiest stretch of road, carriages are not allowed, only pedestrians are allowed. I'm afraid there are too many people and the horses are frightened."
Grandma Liu nodded slowly: "That's very thoughtful." After thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's go to Zhuque Street and see how other people's shops are opened." The coachman agreed, shook the reins and left.
