"The happy pulse is the happy pulse." The fat man checked the pulse for a long time and came to the conclusion, but then frowned slightly and sighed, "It's just, alas..."
Gong Shouli's heart sank directly into the abyss. After he finished speaking, what I had been worried about finally happened!
His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground, but Ling'er's quick eyesight and quick hands helped him sit down.
"What's wrong, Fat Brother? Why are you sighing? Please explain it more clearly." Ling'er also became worried, "You see how anxious Eunuch Gong is."
"It's just a tomboy." The fat man said with a smile, "You said that if it was a girl, she would be as beautiful as Green Pearl. If it were a boy, I'm afraid he would look just like Lao Gong. He is not beautiful. To sigh.”
Not you...
When Gong Shouli heard this, he really couldn't laugh or cry.
"Congratulations, Old Gong." The fat man cupped his fists and handed him over, "Your old Gong family has a baby. According to the rules, if you diagnose a happy pulse, you have to reward the doctor. Friendship is friendship, and rules are rules, so as long as you If you give it, I have to accept it. One thousand taels is not too much, and five hundred taels is not too little..."
"We are all happy together." Gong Shouli scratched his head and ears, then stood up and started to circle around Lvzhu, "By the way, Lvzhu was so overjoyed that she couldn't eat and vomited whatever she ate. Look how thin she is. , why don’t you, Shangguan, help her heal her."
"That's easy." The fat man asked for a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a recipe, "Boil it into a medicinal soup, three times a day, drink it tomorrow, and you'll be fine the day after tomorrow, but there may be more severe vomiting, so that's okay. Don’t worry, it’s harmless, haha, those imperial doctors actually know the prescriptions, but they just don’t dare to use them…”
"You dare to use it." Qianye said.
"I am a very brave person." The fat man said with a smile, "By the way, Miss Luzhu, where are you from? My accent doesn't sound like someone from Fengyang City."
"I am from Wuhuan. During the war in Northern Xinjiang in the past few years, I fled south with my mother and came to Fengyang. Unfortunately, my mother got seriously ill and died. I, a young girl, had no friends here. In desperation, I I had no choice but to plant grass as a mark and sell my body to bury my mother. Unfortunately for me, I met Lord Gong and bought me. He treated me very well and I am able to survive till now."
He is also a miserable person.
"Oh, no wonder you don't look like a timid eldest lady to me, Luzhu." Fatty said, "I heard that the women from the northern Xinjiang tribe can ride and shoot. Back then, Ye Baiqing met a brave and handsome young lady in Bailong City. The poor girl once wrote a poem: "The horse with sweat and blood has run away, how can I pretend to imitate the Nangui? I will wear the soap handkerchief through the wind, and love to decorate it with silver flowers to make the snow fly! The Han army competed to see the embroidered crotch, and ten Wanwanhu is a girl; I call Mulan to compare with her, and see who has the longest arrow with her?"
"Not everyone can do that." Lu Zhu smiled, "It's like I can only ride a horse, not archery or anything like that."
"Why should a girl learn to ride and shoot?" Gong Shouli said, "It's only proper to have a baby at home."
"Hey, Eunuch Gong, be careful what you say, I'm still here!" Ling'er said.
"How can you be considered a girl? I think you are more wild than boys!" Gong Shouli said with a smile.
After chatting and joking for a while, it was getting late, so the three fat men left immediately. Gong Shouli personally walked to the door and watched the three of them leave before returning happily.
"Fat brother, why are you asking me about the origin of Luzhu?" Ling'er said, "Then Luzhu is also Eunuch Gong's concubine after all. Is it polite for you to ask like this? Unless..."
"Unless you saw something coming, I saw that you looked weird when you diagnosed her pulse just now." Qianye Ling said.
"Well, this Luzhu is not an ordinary woman. She is good at martial arts." Fatty said, "And I think her martial arts skills are not bad. I just touched her body and I felt something strange. Her internal energy rebounded, and even though she recovered her power in time, she couldn't hide it from my two fingers."
"Eunuch Gong doesn't seem to know." Ling'er said.
"From his tone, it seems that he doesn't know, but Lu Zhu obviously wants to hide it, but he doesn't know why?" said the fat man.
"This is other people's business and none of our business, so don't worry about it." Qianye Ling said.
"I'm not worried about it, I just feel a little strange. Her internal strength seems to be similar to Wen Huan's. Ask Wen Huan another time, he might know." Fatty said.
"Anyway, it's rare for Eunuch Gong to have a wife. You can see how happy he is." Qianye Ling said.
"Hmph, I see he was so happy that he didn't even give me any money." The fat man said.
"They really gave it to you, but you still have the nerve to ask for it?" Qianye Ling said with a smile.
"Why not? I don't have any friendship with him. After all, it's all about interests..." The fat man said, reaching out his hand on the horse and grabbing Qianye Ling's wrist.
"What are you doing?" Qianye Ling said angrily.
"Let me see if you have a happy pulse?" the fat man said shamelessly.
"Ah? Are you two still together?" Ling'er shouted.
"No way, don't listen to his nonsense!" Qianye Ling said with a blushing face.
"It will happen sooner or later!" The fat man laughed, "Chiba, you said it would be great if we had a baby as beautiful as you and as smart as me!"
"I'm afraid you are as ugly as Fat Brother and as stupid as Qianye!" Ling'er laughed.
"Shut up!" said the fat man.
Gong Shouli was happy and sad.
Luzhu wants to give birth to a son for himself. From then on, the Gong family will have an heir. Even if he dies, he will have the honor to meet his ancestors. His filial piety has been stabilized.
Grief is faithfulness.
The emperor trusts him so much that he entrusts him with the construction of the imperial mausoleum. He must do his best and do it well.
After all, this was the first time for him to run such a big errand with the emperor in so many years. If he failed, he would be embarrassed, and he would not be able to express the emperor's great kindness to him.
But it’s really hard to handle.
There was no problem with the money. Chen Wenqi allocated one million taels of silver to him and it would arrive immediately. This was enough for the preliminary construction. But the problem was that there were not that many craftsmen and civilians.
This is a major matter, and Ma Wuming, Minister of Industry, naturally does not dare to shirk or neglect, but there are also objective difficulties. First of all, there are not many craftsmen in Fengyang City, so we can't send them all to work on this project, right?
Especially in the spring of next year, there are still many scheduled projects to be done, and it is impossible to allocate enough manpower.
Another section is that the craftsmen in Fengyang City are not willing to build a mausoleum, because this is the mausoleum of the emperor, which is different from the mausoleum of the emperor, the emperor, and the empress dowager. Although the emperor is kind and virtuous, he may not do anything to kill people and silence them. But it’s not guaranteed, right?
At the end of your work, suddenly a decree comes down for you to die and pay allegiance. Will you die or not?
We can only recruit craftsmen from other places to recruit civilian laborers, but now it is freezing and snowy, and the roads are not easy to walk. We can only wait until next spring, but if we start recruiting in spring next year, it will be summer by then. Isn't this a delay? ?
Seeing that he was worried, Ma Wuming gave him some pointers, go find Xiao Chen, he might be able to find a solution...
