Concubine Xi's voice fell behind, and the hall was quiet for a moment.
Lu Xing put down the folds in his hand and looked at him with his eyes raised. His dark and deep eyes seemed to have some deterrent power, which made people feel a little flustered even if they didn't say a word.
Inexplicably, Concubine Xi felt that she was scared. Strictly speaking, she was not Lu Xingwang's mother concubine. It is natural to talk about getting close to this area. It is just that the situation in the palace nowadays causes her to feel a little fluttering, so she dare to raise this. I suggest it. Fortunately, she is a smart woman, her head turns quickly, and she knows how to stop the loss in time, so she immediately changed to an awkward smile and said softly: "It seems that His Royal Highness has no intention of this."
Lu Xing said, "Thank you Niang Niang for your kindness. Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is turbulent, I really don't have any intention of Fengyue."
Concubine Xi knew that this was just a refusal, and after thinking about it, she had to say: "His Royal Highness, but if you really talk about the facts, the more turbulent the DPRK, the more people from all sides will stare at your marriage."
Which party's woman the prince married will have a great impact on the current situation.
The prime minister’s family fell, and the civil servants had a group of dragons without a leader. Now they are gradually moving closer to the Yushi doctor, and the Yushi doctor happened to have a daughter waiting to be married. Now the remaining two princes of the royal family have not yet married nor married the imperial concubine. Although the Second Highness now seems to have no desire to fight for the position of Xianyun Yehe, if he marries a wife with a strong family background, it is not without a fight.
After listening to Lu Xingwang quietly, he opened his lips: "If the success or failure of an official career depends on his wife to decide, what is the meaning of such a life."
Concubine Xi was taken aback.
For a moment, she seemed to see the shadow of Concubine Lan in Lu Xingwang's body. That woman was so daring to love and hate. If she didn't marry the emperor, she would be the first daughter of the Lan family, taking the position of the patriarch of the Witch clan. Married to the home of a great nobleman, it is bound to be a stable and stable life to enjoy endless wealth.
But she didn't make such a choice. Concubine Lan was a woman of affection, and so is his son.
But for the prince, is it a good thing for the future emperor to be too affectionate? She didn't know, and there was no answer.
…
Golden town
At the top of the attic, the bathroom was steaming hot. The young master sat in the tub and looked at Jian Mei, who was sitting outside with a small bench, and said, "Mei, isn't it okay?"
Jian Mo looked at him with his chin: "Master, don't move around. You have to soak for an hour every day."
This medicated bath was modified by Jian Mei combined with grandpa's previous treatment policy. The young master's legs are obviously a bit more serious than that of the patient. It would be better to use a hot water medicated bath to help the penetration of the medicine.
The young master sighed helplessly: "Okay."
Jian Mo was afraid that he would be bored and said, "Should I read to the young master?"
The young master is all right when he is idle, so he should say: "Okay."
What Jian Mei is holding is a history book. He has been on this planet for so long and has not studied the history of this planet. Only recently did research find that the system here is really hierarchical, and it is still based on bloodlines and supernatural powers. In terms of high and low, although the system is a bit like the ancient monarchy, the folk customs are still open, and there is no closed door to the country. It has always had friendly exchanges with other planets, and scientific and technological civilization is far above the earth.
"In the 26th year of Xingyuan, the third Royal Highness and Concubine Lan were in an accident on the warship, one died and the other was injured. Concubine Lan and Concubine Lan passed away at 9 o'clock that night, and the Three Highnesses lost their power and poisoned her body..." As I read it, my voice became quieter.
The young master opened his eyes and looked at him suspiciously: "Ambiguous, what's the matter?"
Jian Mo was holding the book and lowered his head, his voice was a little dull: "It's nothing, I just think the third majesty is so pitiful."
The young master laughed after listening. He thought this child was very funny. He would feel sorry for a person who had never met before, so he was very curious: "You don't know him, will you feel sorry for him?"
"I just think he is very pitiful." Jian Mei didn't know why she was emotionally affected, and sighed softly: "I lost my mother and suffered a lot of injuries. I must have had a hard time."
The young master also felt that if ordinary people suddenly fell into this situation, they would not be crazy, but Lu Xingwang could survive this situation, and he could also find a breakthrough from such a difficult situation. It was indeed a personal thing to regain power after the prince’s clan was overthrown.
Thinking of this, the young master said: "He is now the prince now, and he doesn't need sympathy."
Most people have to blow it hard to hear this, but Jian Mei's focus is on: "Then is his poison detoxified?"
"This... I don't know anymore." The young master looked at Jian Mei as if he was very concerned. He didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable. He said, "But it has nothing to do with us. , And His Royal Highness will never have an intersection with us, ignorant, he is a very dangerous person, not as simple as you think, understand?"
Jane seemed to understand but did not understand: "I see."
In the past few days of medicinal baths plus acupuncture and Jian Mei have been actively trying to help the young master in various ways, the young master's complexion has gradually become much better.
When Grandma Li saw the needles, she took a breath and was a little worried, but slowly, after seeing that the young master did not seem to have suffered any harm, she slowly let it go. Therefore, Jian Mei I got some free time to go out to gather medicine and shopping. I used to have a holiday once a week, but now I can go out anytime.
Xiaoban would occasionally be with him, and the most of the two would go to Pingping's house.
When I went this time, the average cold had healed. When he saw Jian Mei, he was very excited: "Brother Mei, my illness is all right!"
Pingping’s mother came out of the house and was also very happy to see him, and quickly said: “The ambiguity is here, then come in quickly. The prescription you prescribed is really effective, although it is not as fast as the healing spells of the priests. , But don't take a few days, it's totally healed on average!"
The most important thing is that there is no need to go to the hospital to line up to see your face, and the cost is extremely low.
Pingping’s father took out a bag of money from the house and handed it to Jian Mo, saying, “We have a few brothers who contracted the cold a few days ago. I took some decocted medicine and they are well. This is for payment. Medicine money."
The pockets are filled with odds and ends of silver coins.
A gold coin here is equivalent to one hundred yuan, a silver coin is equivalent to fifty yuan, and a copper coin is ten yuan. The coins here are very valuable, and ordinary people only spend half a month’s expenditure on a silver coin. For example, the salary of a small class is only three gold coins a month, which is five simple coins, while an ordinary family like Pingping can only get five gold coins a month.
But after Jian Mei opened the bag in his hand, there were about twenty copper coins in it, that is to say, there were two gold coins in it!
Jian Mei was surprised: "So many?"
"Now if you go to the hospital to treat a cold, you need a silver coin." The woman explained to Jian Mo, "We didn't dare to sell this medicine too high. Basically, one copper coin per person is enough. "
The host said: "The group of colleagues I work on, there are also wives and children in the family who have contracted the wind and cold."
The woman also answered, "The neighbors around our house, as well as my average classmates, some of the poor at home, all took medicine, and there are more than 20 people in total. All the money is here."
Ping Ping brought two glasses of water to Jian Mei and Xiaoban, and said excitedly: "Even so, we are almost not growing enough herbs. Mom said that we will go to the mountains to pick them in two days."
Earned two gold coins in less than a week, which is equivalent to one month's salary of an ordinary person.
Jian Mei was not dazzled by money. He took out ten copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Pingping's mother, saying, "Madam, you can take this half of the money."
The woman was slightly surprised: "Ambiguous, what are you doing?"
"It takes time to grow herbs, and we have to give them decoctions and run errands. The hardest part is you. Actually, I didn't contribute much. This is what you deserve." Jian Mei said softly, "Accept it." ."
The woman looked at her husband hesitantly.
The husband pondered for a moment, but only received five, and gave the rest to Jian Mei: "Mei Mei, although we work hard, we are all just auxiliary tasks. It can be replaced by anyone. We shouldn't divide so many. If you can really trust us, we will still help out afterwards."
The Pingping family are very simple civilians. Of course, they will be moved by money, but they can also distinguish the importance.
Jane had no choice but to give up.
After that, the woman discussed with Jian Mei again, because the wind chill was still very serious. When Jian Mei came from the street early this morning, she saw many people walking away hiding their faces, but only some people went to the hospital, a copper coin. The price is very cheap, most people should choose if they know it, and the meaning of simple and ambiguous is also very clear, if they can help, they will definitely help.
But here is the problem.
The woman said: "The quantity can't keep up. Just these dozens of illnesses are basically used up and all the herbs are used up. Even if you go to the mountains to pick them, you can't solve the fundamental problem."
This is indeed a problem. What Jian Mei used to think was that it would be enough for people her friends knew. What she didn't expect now is that the demand is so great that it takes time for the growth of herbs, and the priests' magical arts may rest and rest. Use it immediately, the herbal medicine is not so fast.
Xiaoban said next to him: "Perhaps we can ask the priest of the earth system to help."
This is a good idea.
The priests of the soil system are in charge of the growth of vegetation, and of course they can easily do it.
The woman answered, "Of course, we thought about it, but now the priests of the Earth system are in our town, and only the nobles can invite them."
Not many people of Stan Star possess divine power, and the ratio of civilians to priests is 10:1. This is one of the reasons why most priests have a high status, and the families of priests are also very noble.
Of course, Pingping’s father’s contacts are broader. He said, “I’ve asked about it. If you want to invite a priest of the earth system to come, at least 10 gold coins.”
Moreover, if people only come once, they may take care of your land. Every time you come, you will get 10 gold coins. It depends on your tolerance. If it is at this price, you will lose money by selling medicine.
Jian Mei also realized the seriousness of the matter, and kept thinking about it on the way back.
Xiaoban persuaded him: "Ambiguous, you have done what you can do. There are some things that you can't force. Don't be too sad, you know?"
Jian Mei returned to his senses and smiled at Xiaoban and said, "I'm not sad."
Xiaoban looked at him suspiciously.
Jian Mei said softly: "I just wonder if there is any solution."
When he said this, his tone of voice was calm, so peaceful, but the light under his eyes was shining. Xiaoban faintly understood why he and the people around him would believe in Jane for some reason, because he was That kind of gentleness and firmness, will not be easily discouraged when encountering problems, even if not very smart, but will never shrink back, because of this, people want to get close, I really want to learn something from him Firm courage is average.
…
Coming back from the outside, Jian Mei walked through the garden and just saw the priest hired in the mansion taking care of the flowers.
The owner of this house, Lord Gasi, is the owner of this small town, and the priest who takes care of the garden is also hired heavily. This gardener is not very old, but has strong soil power. Hearing from Xiaoban, he It is also a work-study program, preparing to go to the imperial capital.
Jian Mo stepped forward: "Brother Huai, haven't gone back yet."
Shen Huai was taken aback. He turned around and saw Jian Mei, annoyed: "How come you are so fascinated."
Jian Mei didn't know Shen Huai before. Since he started to take over the small garden in the attic, he often came here to recruit Shen Huai tools.
Shen Huai looked sadly at the most beautiful transparent Kasya leaf flower in the garden: "The flowering period of this flower is obviously still a few months, but there was a heavy rain yesterday, and it started to wilt today. I used divine power to maintain it, but my divine power can only make the plant grow, but it can’t restore it."
The kassapa flower has grown to its most mature state and can no longer grow.
In this situation, no matter how powerful a priest comes, it can't stop this flower from withering.
Jian Mei came over, looked for a while and said, "Then let me take care of it for a few days."
Shen Huai looked at him in surprise: "You?"
Jian Mei nodded: "Yes."
He found that he seemed to be quite suitable for taking care of flowers and plants. He didn't know why, even if it was a withered flower, as long as he took care of it for a few days, it would slowly regain its vitality.
Shen Huai didn't believe it: "Don't mess around, this flower is very precious."
"Of course I won't!" Jian Mei vowed: "If I can save this flower, how about Brother Huai making a deal with me in the future?"
Shen Huai was suspicious: "What deal?"
Jian Mei thought for a while and tentatively said, "I have a few plots of grass that have just been planted and haven't sprouted yet. Can Brother Huai help?"
"That's it?" Shen Huai sneered: "Let's put it this way, if you can put my spirit flowers and grasses to work, let alone a few plots of land, I will understand you when you get a mountain!"
Jian Mei smiled: "A word is a deal."
"..."
Shen Huai originally said casually, but looking at Jian Mei's smile, he didn't know why he had a bad premonition, that is, the feeling that he felt like being fooled. Fortunately, he quickly stabilized. Live, and try to convince yourself that you don’t have to be too panic to tell yourself that you shouldn’t be too panic, after all... How can Jian Mei have so much land to help himself, so he won’t really develop a mountain!
