Dingxihou thought that the emperor was unable to decide the matter and was worried, but Cai Zhong, the eunuch on the side, saw that the emperor was actually distracted.
Cai Chong glanced at the emperor and then at Dingxihou who was kneeling outside.
He doesn't have much contact with this Marquis, and he rarely goes to Beijing. He is a bit unfamiliar to people in the capital, but considering that there are many gifts that should be given during every year and festival...
.Although those gifts are just some taro and other specialties of Yongqing Mansion, they would not dare to accept them if they were really expensive gifts. People like them, on the one hand, love money, and on the other hand, they also love face and friendship, because they also know that,
In the eyes of the world, what they just don't have is face.
Cai Zhong held the tea and ducked over. This action brought the emperor back to his senses.
"That's right." He said slowly.
Dingxihou was busy outside and kowtowed again.
"I don't know how to teach my son, but I am willing to..." he said in a trembling voice with sincerity and fear.
Before he finished speaking, the emperor interrupted him.
"I'm sure." He said, "It's up to you to take care of your own son."
Dingxihou was stunned for a moment.
Is this accurate?
He didn't come back to his senses for a while.
The emperor has risen here.
"What? Are you still busy?" He frowned and asked when he saw Dingxihou kneeling motionless.
It is never better to do less than to do more in front of the emperor. Dingxihou hurriedly thanked him and resigned.
"Oh, by the way." The emperor thought of something else and called to Dingxi Hou who stood up to leave.
Dingxihou's heart skipped a beat.
"You go back and tell Chang Yuncheng that you don't have to leave for the time being until another errand is sent." the emperor said, and then walked away.
It’s over!
Dingxihou only felt his heart sinking.
In the end, I still didn't keep my job.
The crown prince of Dingxi was removed from the family, and the coffin of the daughter of the Rao family was transported back to Shandong. The matter ended in a low-key and simple way.
It is a pity for the people in Beijing who have been waiting to see the bigger and longer show. Many people have not even had time to join the theater viewing queue.
These powerful people are just so boring. They don’t dare to make a big fuss about anything. The thunder is loud and the rain is small, but the wind blows them away. It’s so boring!
However, what is comforting is that when the coffin of Rao's daughter was being loaded into the truck, the accompanying girl was so distraught that she ran into the coffin and died.
period.
"He still doesn't see me?" Qi Yue asked, a little anxious.
Aru nodded.
"No one is seen in Dingxihou Mansion. The door does not open, no one calls out, and no one comes." She said, "I have been there three times."
"It's just right. If you are involved in such a shameful thing, you are really not a human being. He is still a human being." Zhou Maochun said, while eating a piece of crystal elbow, he greeted Qi Yue, "Come on, have a taste, have a taste."
Hey, this is what the Lord from the Wucheng Army and Horses Department did to show his respect to me."
Zhou Maochun doesn't care about money or things, and he keeps doing this and that in a mess, making those who want to please him spend a lot of time.
"Father, after eating something, you can't even remember who it is. This man is really in trouble." Qi Yue said, sitting down and looking at the food plates, shaking his head, "How can I eat anything?"
"Why can't you eat it?" Zhou Maochun raised his eyebrows and said, while taking another big mouthful, he said vaguely, "Such a happy thing, God is really wise, let the Dingxi Hou family make trouble, they deserve retribution, let them learn a lesson!
You dare to play tricks on me! I'll beat them to pieces!"
"Father." Qi Yue shouted, pointing at herself, "Your daughter is still here!"
Zhou Maochun chuckled and coughed a little.
"Yes, I know girls are outgoing." He said.
"Yuncheng is also an innocent disaster. It's so unfair." Qi Yue said.
"What's unfair? What kind of unreasonable disaster is this? This is what it should be." Zhou Maochun said with a snort, "It's his fate to have parents like that."
Qi Yue stopped talking to him, put her head on her hands and sighed.
"He was also worried that I would be implicated, so he avoided seeing me." She said, "If you don't see me, you will see me. I'll write a letter and you can have someone hand it in."
Ah Hao hurriedly took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the side.
Zhou Maochun watched her write.
"Tell that boy that no one wants him now. Please come and beg me. I will show my kindness and let him come to our house as a son-in-law." He said.
Qi Yue smiled and nodded.
"Okay." She said, lowering her head and writing a few lines, then put away the pen.
"That's all?" Ah Hao asked, tilting his head.
"No need to say so much." Qi Yue smiled and shook the letter paper.
"I'm busy." Zhou Maochun said simply without stumbling, "Whoever comes should go and wait for me."
As he spoke, he picked up the tea and took a delicious sip.
"Master Zhou, it's not someone else but His Majesty who is looking for you." The person outside said with a smile.
Zhou Maochun coughed twice.
This can't be kept waiting.
He hurriedly followed.
A Ru went to deliver the letter, while Qi Yue returned to Chen's place.
"Have you taken your medicine, madam? Are you okay today?" she asked.
"The girl picking greens is serving you over there, and the servants don't know." the servant woman replied.
Qi Yue glanced in the direction of Chen's house and frowned.
After that incident, she did not go to see Mr. Chen again, and asked Zhou Maochun how Mr. Chen's illness was. Zhou Maochun only vaguely said that it was just like that, just take care of it.
"Has the house been chosen?" Qi Yue asked.
Ah Hao nodded.
"Sister Aru said we would pick out furniture today," she said.
Qi Yue looked towards Chen again.
"When she gets better, I'll tell her we're moving out." She said, thinking of something else, "Speaking of furniture, Qianjintang also needs some, let's go take a look."
Ah Hao nodded.
The two of them walked in and then turned around and went out.
Chen quickly found out.
"Miss, is Mrs. Qi moving out?" Cai Qing said in a low voice.
Mrs. Chen lay down with her eyes closed and hummed.
"Then...should we stop him?" Cai Qing asked.
"No need." Mrs. Chen said, her voice soft and weak, "There is no need for me to stop her now. As long as she is in the capital, it doesn't matter where she lives."
"What if she wants to leave the capital?" Cai Qing couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. Chen smiled and opened her eyes, which seemed a little dazed.
"Then there's no need for me to stop you..." she said, "Someone will stop..."
Cai Qing groaned and leaned over to tuck Chen's quilt.
"Is it already dark?" Chen asked suddenly.
Caiqing's body trembled.
"No," she said tremblingly.
Mrs. Chen sighed, said nothing, and closed her eyes.
Cai Qing stood by the bed, tears falling like rain.
Qi Yue had already arrived at the street where Qian Jin Tang was located. From a distance, he saw many people gathered around, pointing and looking at something excitedly.
"Give way, give way."
The salesman carrying a load shouted and ran past them quickly.
"It's fun to watch." Qi Yue laughed and bumped into Ah Hao, "Go faster."
Aha responded happily.
The closer I got, the more I felt something was wrong, until I saw a crowd of people and the three characters on the plaque, Qian Jin Tang.
"Go find Hu San and bring someone here." Qi Yue said nothing and patted Ah Hao on the shoulder.
Ah Hao turned around and ran away.
Qi Yue squeezed into the crowd, wanting to see who his drug shop, which was not open at all, would get into trouble.
In the Qianjin Hall, the first thing you see is four young men blocking the door with their arms folded, and then you see a table in the middle of the room that has been pulled over to serve as a chair. On it, sitting with legs crossed, is a young man wearing a rich robe.
, with a face like a jade crown, elegant and handsome.
In front of them were Dr. An and Liu Pucheng.
Although there are not many people, it is very lively.
"Old Baimao, since you are running a drug store, why don't you see a doctor?" The young man said, shaking his legs and saying with a very uncomfortable smile, while extending his hand, "Look, what a miracle doctor?"
.”
"Little Prince, I have already said that this is not my pharmacy, please forgive me, Little Prince," said Dr. An.
"This is really not a drug store..." Liu Pucheng also said hurriedly.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a crash.
It turned out that a boy kicked down a table.
Old Doctor An's expression became increasingly ugly.
"Little prince..." His voice couldn't help but rise.
"What are you shouting for? Didn't you say this is not a medicine shop?" The young prince smiled and raised his hand again. There was another crashing sound. Several boys kicked away the tables and chairs that were within reach, and some people simply took them.
He picked up the stool and slammed it on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Liu Pucheng shouted, "This is my family's pharmacy, it's clear and sunny, you..."
"Is this a drug store?" The young prince frowned and said with a smile, "Sometimes it is, and sometimes it's not. Are you sick?"
"Young prince, if you have any problem, come to me, don't hurt innocent people." Dr. An said with a facelift, pushing the wheelchair forward.
"It's okay." The young prince said with a smile, "What can happen to you? You are not a doctor. You are just seeing a doctor. Come on, come on..."
He held out his hand as he spoke.
"Doctor An, I have a stomachache, please check it out for me." He said, laughing as he spoke.
"Little Prince, if you want me to do anything, just tell me." Old Doctor An looked at him and said.
"What can I do to you? See a doctor." The young prince stared and pretended to be surprised, "What? Don't you want to see me?"
As he spoke, Hu Yi raised his hand.
"Oh my God, what kind of pharmacy are you doing? You still choose people to treat you? Do you have any medical ethics?"
While talking, I held my stomach and shouted, "My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts, it hurts so much..."
With his shouting, the boys took action again. After smashing everything that could be smashed in front of them, a group of people simply rushed to the counter.
Liu Pucheng hurriedly tried to stop him, but was kicked down unceremoniously by a boy.
"Who wants to see a doctor?"
A female voice came in at this time.
The boys who were smashing vigorously stopped for a moment, and everyone looked towards the door.
"I am the boss here and also the doctor here." Qi Yue said, his eyes swept across the people in the room and landed on the young prince, "I don't know, why did you bump into a few of them?"
The young prince looked her over.
"Old Baimao, you are getting better and better as you live, and you actually let a girl come out to jack up the cylinder." He said with a sigh.
"Where are you from?" Qi Yue ignored his words and asked again.
A boy just shook his head.
"I'm not afraid to tell you." He said, akimbo, "We are here in Julu."
Qi Yue said.
"Giant deer and donkeys." She said, with some doubts, "Our place is a medicine shop, not a place to treat livestock. Are you going to the wrong place?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and there was a roar of laughter outside.
This young man spoke with a thick accent, and the syllables for "julu" when he announced his family name really sounded like the word for donkey.
This is also a common problem among people in their area, so they are inevitably nicknamed "Giant Deer and Donkey" outside the country.
But it’s okay to say this to other Julu people, but if it’s used to their Sima family, it’s just asking for death!
"You little lady are so courageous! Do you know who we are?" The young prince also lowered his face and shouted.
"I know, giant deer and donkey." Qi Yue said with a smile.
Dr. An was anxious and hurriedly pushed the wheelchair over.
"Ms. Qi, Miss Qi, this is my business. I have caused trouble to you. Don't take it personally." He said and saluted the young prince again and again. "Little prince, it's not my fault. Do whatever you want."
, please don’t involve innocent people.”
"What should I do? What can I do? I came to see a doctor properly, but you are good. First you refused to see the doctor, and then you cursed me..." The young prince jumped down from the table and shouted, "This matter is not over yet..."
"Yes, this matter is not over yet." Qi Yue interrupted him.
Before he finished speaking, noisy footsteps sounded outside, followed by a commotion from the crowd.
"Master, Master." Hu San's voice sounded outside, and then at least seventeen or eight people rushed in. Four or five people almost got stuck at the door because they were all rushing in.
The young prince and others were stunned for a moment, but they were not frightened.
"Okay, Old Baimao, there are a lot of people." He laughed and spat, "What? You don't want to see a doctor? You still want to beat them?"
Old Doctor An hurriedly reached out his hand to stop him again.
"That's right." Qi Yue said, stood back and shook his head.
Hu San and others immediately came to their senses.
For real?
These people were shocked.
"Hey, do you know who we are?"
But this sound was quickly replaced by cries of pain.
"I know, donkey." Qi Yue, who had already stepped aside, snorted, looked at the people who were surrounded and swallowed up, and spat, "There is a way to heaven if you don't take it, and if there is no door to hell you break in!"
The people on the street were excited and rushed over like a tide. They hated that the doors and windows were too small and could not clearly see the details of the battle inside.
In the palace, Zhou Maochun checked the Empress Dowager's pulse.
"You don't need to take medicine, I just need to eat well," he said.
The Empress Dowager smiled and responded yes.
A graceful and luxurious woman on the side brought tea in person.
"Your Majesty," she whispered.
The emperor did not answer.
"Are you busy?" the Queen Mother asked.
"No matter how busy you are, you still have time to talk to your mother." The emperor smiled and sat down aside.
The Empress Dowager smiled, and the woman stepped aside and sat down with a blank expression.
"Then I will leave first." Zhou Maochun said.
"What are you busy with now?" The Queen Mother looked at him again and asked with a smile. Without waiting for an answer, she thought of something, "I heard that you have adopted an adopted daughter?"
Zhou Maochun nodded and responded with a smile.
"When will I bring him in for the Ai family to see?" the Empress Dowager said with a smile, while looking at the emperor, "I heard that he is also a doctor?"
The emperor nodded and said nothing.
"That's better. If you're not in the palace from now on, it'll be fine as long as your adopted daughter is here." The Queen Mother smiled.
"She, she is not good, she is not suitable in the palace." Zhou Maochun waved his hand and said.
The Queen Mother was still smiling.
"Oh, why?" she asked, "Are you still hiding her because you are afraid that the Ai family will snatch her away?"
She laughed as she spoke, and the maids standing around her also laughed with her, except the queen who did not laugh.
"She is not suitable to treat the nobles in the palace." Zhou Maochun still smiled.
"Who are the doctors? Aren't they all doctors?" the Queen Mother said, looking at the emperor, "Isn't that right, the emperor?"
"Yes." The emperor said with a smile, without any hesitation.
The Empress Dowager's smile froze slightly.
A young eunuch came in from outside with his head lowered and said a few words in Cai Chong's ear.
The emperor saw it and stood up.
"Emperor, go and get busy." The Empress Dowager knew something was going on and said hurriedly.
The emperor walked out, and Zhou Maochun hurriedly followed.
Cai Chong then whispered a few words to the emperor.
The emperor was slightly surprised, but then smiled again and turned to look at Zhou Maochun.
Zhou Maochun was stunned by this sight that looked like a smile but not a smile.
"Your Majesty, I did not say anything wrong," he said hurriedly.
The emperor laughed.
"I said that Mrs. Qi is a troublemaker, but you still don't agree." He said, smiling slightly, "This troublemaker has caused trouble again."
Zhou Maochun looked at him in confusion.
"She led someone to beat Sima Peng," the emperor said.
Zhou Maochun took a breath of cold air.
Sima Peng?
The young prince of the Sima Wang family!
The direct grandson of the emperor’s aunt!
