It was still raining outside at this time, and there were a few bits of mud on the corners of Shen Zangfeng's robe. After entering the house, he spoke to Wei Zhangying and went into the inner room to change clothes.
When Mrs. Wan saw that he was back, she declined Wei Changying's invitation to stay and left.
Wei Changying waited for Shen Zangfeng to come out and said, "When I was paying my respects to my mother just now, the Su family sent news that my grandmother had fainted... Did you know about it from your father?"
Shen Zangfeng picked up the half-filled agarwood drink in front of her and took a sip. He looked a little solemn and said, "I just heard someone say that my father asked my eldest brother to come over and have a look. We are newlyweds now, so it is not convenient to go out." Newlyweds Yan'er is not allowed to visit other people's homes, except when he is on business.
Therefore, both Mrs. Su and Shen Xuan only let the second daughter-in-law and the eldest son come forward, and did not let the third wife get involved.
Wei Changying looked at the silver cup in his hand and pursed his lips. He didn't say anything. He only said: "Mother took the second sister-in-law and Zang Ning over and asked me to ask my eldest sister-in-law for advice when I encounter problems. Just now I asked my eldest sister-in-law , My sister-in-law said just ask me to clean up my own yard.”
"Since sister-in-law said so, you should clean up our yard." Shen Zangfeng said, "Sister-in-law has always been in charge of the house. Now that we have finished our work, there is nothing major to worry about."
He didn't mention Liu Ruoyu, but he took the initiative and said, "My father came to see me just now and asked me to go to the palace to pay off my leave. Don't forget to thank me."
Wei Changying asked: "Is it because the Holy One will grant you a leave?" Even though Shen Zangfeng would have to cancel his leave the next day, including the distance he had to go to Fengzhou to pick up his relatives and back, the leave granted by the Holy One this time was indeed quite long.
"Not entirely." Shen Zangfeng said, "On the day we got married, the Holy Father followed the gift and gave me a handful of pearls. My father was afraid that I wouldn't know, so he warned me."
This kind of thing can be done by telling someone personally. Shen Zangfeng was a personal guard for fifteen years and had been with the Holy Master for five years, so he was quite satisfied. It was just to thank him, and there was no need for Shen Xuan to mention it himself. Wei Changying guessed that Shen Xuan had other motives for calling him over. It was most likely that Mrs. Su wanted to test herself alone... However, she didn't know whether it was just luck or not. Unfortunately, Mrs. Su's mother, Mrs. Deng, suddenly fainted, leaving Mrs. Su no longer interested in testing her daughter-in-law.
Wei Changying was still a little worried about Mrs. Deng's condition. After having a meal with Shen Zangfeng, he asked Mrs. Deng which doctor she used for diagnosis and treatment.
Shen Zangfeng said: "It's Dr. Ji from the Imperial Hospital."
"But Ji Qubing?" Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard my mother say that this doctor Ji is very skilled in medicine."
Unexpectedly, Shen Zangfeng shook his head: "It's not Divine Doctor Ji, it's Ji Congyuan. Basically, he's Divine Doctor Ji's uncle."
Wei Changying was very surprised: "Miracle Doctor Ji?" The title of "Miracle Doctor" is very respectful, especially when Shen Zangfeng calls him that, but... "Isn't Ji Qubing an imperial physician?"
Shen Zangfeng nodded and said, "No."
"Why?" Wei Changying was extremely surprised. Wei Zhenghong was born weak in his womb. What kind of doctor did the Wei family not hire for him? Finally, Ji Qubing is not the only one who can be cured. According to the Wei family's family status, the first people to be hired must be the imperial doctors and hospital judges. How could Ji Qubing's medical skills not even be admitted to the imperial hospital
Shen Zangfeng said: "Shenji Doctor didn't want to enter Tai Hospital. He even opened a medical clinic in the early years. Later, he seemed to have some disputes with the clan and even the medical clinic was closed. Now, instead of being introduced by familiar people, he no longer treats patients. Nearly secluded.”
He pondered, "But since mother has brought the second sister-in-law, if Doctor Ji is unable to do so, the second sister-in-law can go to her parents' house. Even if she cannot invite Doctor Ji, his disciples will always be there."
It is not difficult to understand that Ji Qubing is unwilling to enter Taiyuan Hospital. After all, his grandfather Ji Ying once served as an official and went to Taiyuan Hospital for trial. In the end, he was involved in a palace battle and died, which also affected his wife and children. Even Ji Qubing was living in the world, and suffered a lot before relying on his talent in medical skills to rise step by step and gain the reputation of a miracle doctor.
But what Shen Zangfeng meant was that the Su family couldn't recruit Ji Qubing, and they had to ask Duanmu to come forward... Wei Changying asked doubtfully: "Is it so difficult to recruit Ji Qubing now?" In her opinion, the Su family's lintel is no better than Ji Qubing. Duanmu is on a business trip? Not to mention still diagnosing the old lady
Shen Zangfeng reminded: "Grandma is Deng's daughter."
Wei Changying suddenly realized, didn't his mother, Mrs. Song, say so before? Isn't the crime Ji Ying was convicted of assisting Concubine Shu Huo in murdering Concubine Deng? Later, Ji Qubing was spared the pain of exile because of his young age and the favor he made while Ji Ying was practicing medicine. However, because of the power of the Deng family, the family did not dare to protect him, so he could only live in the world.
Since this person refused to even enter Tai Hospital after becoming famous, it is not surprising that he is now unwilling to treat the Deng family. Wei Changying originally thought that Ji Qubing came from a family that had been practicing medicine for generations. In his early years, he was also a young master who used slaves as maids. After the accident at home, he suffered a lot. Later, because of his treatment of his father, he regained his grandfather's reputation and entered the attention of the famous family... According to common sense, he should try to revitalize Ji Ying's family, even if he did not enter the Taiyuan Hospital. It is better to make good friends with famous families.
But now it seems that Ji Qubing did not have this intention. Instead, he was brooding over his grandfather's sins, and even had a bad relationship with the clan... Otherwise, Ji Congyuan, who was diagnosing Mrs. Deng now, was Ji Qubing's clan uncle, how could he still... Do you need Duanmu to go back to her natal family to invite you
But the Duanmu family... Could it be that the Duanmu family was also part of the family that Bao Xia Ji Qubing was in? Wei Changying knew that the Wei family was involved. Mrs. Song had said this herself, and the Huang family she was married to had been instructed in the practice of medicinal diet by Ji Qubing. The Duanmu family was actually more closely related to Ji Qubing than the Wei family. Close
she asked tentatively.
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said: "The only disciple of Divine Doctor Ji is the eighth young lady of the Duanmu family. Our second sister-in-law was the second young lady of the Duanmu family before she left the cabinet, so..."
"The young lady of the Duanmu family would actually accept a doctor as her teacher?" Wei Changying was surprised, "The elder of the eighth young lady would actually agree?"
No matter how Ji Qubing is revered as a miracle doctor, he still belongs to the rank of worker. How could a lady from a noble family lower her status to become his disciple? For example, Wei Changying, even though he followed Jiang Zheng and learned all the martial arts passed down by the Jiang family, he would never be Jiang Zheng's disciple in name. It wasn't that Wei Changying looked down upon Jiang Zheng, but that even if she wanted to become a disciple, people like Mrs. Song would never agree.
"Princess Cai and Prince Cai have always been in poor health." Shen Zangfeng said, "Princess Cai is the sister-in-law of Miss Duanmu Ba. Before the old lady of the Duanmu family passed away, she loved Princess Cai the most. But it was Miss Eight. As a result... Princess Cai refused to see anyone other than the old lady and Miss Eight, and when she fell ill, Miss Eight would not allow the doctor to see her. Firstly, I felt sorry for Princess Cai, and secondly, I couldn’t help her making trouble, so I agreed.”
Seeing that Wei Changying was still looking at him with confusion, he was stunned. After thinking about it, he finally understood and hurriedly explained, "King Cai is the fourth prince."
Wei Changying suddenly realized that the fourth prince was the second crown prince of this dynasty, born from the deposed Qian family? When the fourth prince was established as the prince, the son was valued by his mother. Later, when Qian was sentenced to death for murdering a concubine and lost his dignity, the fourth prince was also deposed as the prince. He was not as angry as his eldest brother. He committed suicide, but died of sorrow after several years of confinement.
It seems that after his death, he was posthumously granted the title of King Cai. The former crown princess became Princess Cai, and the original grandson became the county king.
Wei Changying couldn't help but think of his cousin Song Zaishui.
If Song Zaishui's appearance had not been damaged, would he have married into the East Palace? Inadvertently, Princess Cai spent her splendid years behind closed doors and guarding her young son, which is Song Zaishui's tomorrow.
Even if the current crown prince really ascends the throne, the Qian family will be deposed, the concubine Huo family will be deposed... these people are all examples.
But although Song Zaishui broke off the engagement as he wished, his future was ruined.
Wei Changying couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Zangfeng didn't know that she was thinking of Song Zaishui, and thought he was feeling sorry for Princess Cai, so he comforted him: "Miss Duanmuba is very talented in medicine. Princess Cai and Prince Cai have been ill in the early years, and she has treated her over the years." It's much better now. It's said that Doctor Ji praised her for having gained six points of her true heritage, so I guess it's no problem."
"But I hope grandma can recover soon!" That's what Wei Changying said, but he thought in his heart: It's strange that this second sister-in-law is so public, and she got into trouble as soon as she walked in. It turns out that not only does she have someone under her knees, everyone in the emperor knows about it. The daughter of a child prodigy, her mother-in-law also has a clan sister with excellent medical skills.
Miss Duanmuba's medical skills are so good, and she is a woman. It is much more convenient to have her in the boudoir than an imperial doctor. Maybe the nobles in the palace also like to look for her... Whether it's asking for information or favors - Ji Qubing was pardoned before, wasn't it because of the favors his grandfather Ji Ying received when he practiced medicine
Just like this time, Mrs. Su's mother, Mrs. Deng, was ill. Even if the doctors couldn't cure her, Ji Qubing didn't want to save the Deng family because of what happened to Ji Ying. But the Duanmu family was able to invite Miss Duanmuba, Ji Qubing's direct disciple. He also knew that Ji Qubing was just such a disciple. If Miss Duanmuba couldn't cure Mrs. Deng and came to the master to seek help, even if Ji Qubing couldn't. If you are willing to put aside your old grudges and go to the clinic for treatment, you will at least be able to give some pointers.
Even if Ji Qubing doesn't care, the Su family still owes a favor.
Based on this incident, Mrs. Su should be more considerate towards Duanmu in the future. After all, this daughter-in-law moved someone to save her mother.
However, Wei Changying lamented that Duanmu should not be underestimated, but he did not feel that it was worth worrying too much: no matter how considerate and affectionate Mrs. Su was to Duanmu, she was not born to Mrs. Su.
As for Shen Zangli, he was not only the legitimate son, but also the eldest son, so he was not listed as a candidate for the clan master. Although Wei Zhangying didn't know what was wrong with his eldest brother, he thought that Shen Zangli's chances of coming to him were very small.
... After lunch, the two of them had nothing to do. Listening to the sound of rain, they began to discuss the layout of the yard.
In the guest room in the front yard, Wei Changying left it to Huang and Wan to clean up. He planned to take a look at it after they had tidied it up to make sure there were no omissions. Anyway, Shen Zangfeng also said that he would only provide for his teachers - in fact, his staff to stay here occasionally.
In the small study room, Wei Changying took the list and told him what he planned to put in it. Shen Zangfeng listened and added a few more items. In the end, the two of them simply went to the small study together and watched people put things in one by one. After seeing the effect, they ordered additions and subtractions. They also ordered people to put in a few pots of seasonal flowers. They kept tossing around until dinner before deciding on the additional utensils. .
Looking at the brand new small study, both of them felt a sense of accomplishment.
In the end there was only one wall left.
Shen Zangfeng suggested: "Hang an ancient painting? Whose work do you like? I'll go see if there is any in the library. If so, I can ask my mother for it."
Wei Changying considered this wall for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked someone to fetch the "Hu Hu Slaying" sword that he had carefully stored.
"That's a good idea." Hearing this, Shen Zangfeng smiled with a strange expression - in fact, Shen Xuan called him today, and the insinuation was to say that since a pair of male and female swords were given as a gift, the wife would not need them anyway. "Killing Hu" sword, so...
However, like Shen Zhou, Shen Zangfeng, who had been planning to "kill the Hu" sword for a long time, would not give it back to him? No matter what Shen Xuan said, he just refused to agree and said that he was embarrassed to ask for the things he gave to his wife back.
He was embarrassed. Did Shen Xuan have the nerve to talk to his wife? He groaned angrily for a long time and almost beat him up. Then the news about Mrs. Deng's fainting came to the front. Shen Xuan summoned his eldest son and ordered him to visit, and Shen Zangfeng took the opportunity to escape.
Naturally, there is no need to let Wei Changying know about these things.
What Shen Zangfeng was thinking was: "If my father knew that Yinger hung this sword in the small study for decoration... I don't know how depressed he would be?" Thinking of this, his expression seemed to be smiling...
After the "Hu Hu Killing" sword was delivered, Shen Zangfeng personally took it and hung it up. Wei Changying first pointed at the location, took a few steps back and looked at it, and felt that he was not sure. He shouted from left to right several times, and Shen Zangfeng obeyed. It took several changes before she nodded.
After hanging up the sword, Shen Zangfeng stepped back, and Huang stuffed a piece of handkerchief to Wei Changying. Wei Changying stared at the sword without thinking much, and handed it to Shen Zangfeng to wipe his hands, and said: "This is the perfect location, what do you think?"
After Shen Zangfeng took the veil, he looked at her deeply and then smiled and said, "If you say yes, then it's yes." (To be continued)
