The next day, in Xian'an Palace.
Keshi was lying on the soft couch, looking very lazy and weak.
She stayed in Qianqing Palace all night last night, and the reason was the same as usual, that is, His Majesty couldn't sleep without her company.
This reason is very good. At first, everyone believed it, after all, Zhu Youxiao grew up drinking the milk of Hakka, but now, it has become a joke.
It's normal for adults to have insomnia occasionally, but if you have insomnia often, it's a disease.
But when Zhu Youxiao was doing carpentry work every day, he was very energetic. How could he look sick?
Since he is not sick, then Ke Shi will be sick if he spends the night with Zhu Youxiao.
Moreover, there were rumors throughout the harem that the Hakka family felt sorry for Zhu Youxiao's health and often gave him stewed horse eggs. Any fool knew the effects of eating too much of that stuff.
So this matter became a joke. In response to this, all the ministers in the court shook their heads. Some stubborn ministers boldly wrote a letter, hoping that the emperor could properly arrange his wet nurse, at least not let her stay in the harem, but Zhu Youxiao was put in a high cabinet and ignored at all.
Some officials became anxious in the end and jumped out right before going to court, scolding Zhu Youxiao with great righteousness, but Zhu Youxiao just said lightly:
"This is my family matter, you don't need to say anything."
Hearing this sentence, the officials were helpless, so the Hakka family not only lived in the harem, but was also named a holy lady by Zhu Youxiao. She was so prominent that no one could match her!
She seemed a little listless all the time. After all, Zhu Youxiao's horse eggs were not for nothing. In addition, she was young and energetic. After a night of tossing, Ke Shi really felt that she was a little bit overwhelmed.
Wei Zhongxian stood in front of her, despising the woman in front of him from the bottom of his heart. Although he relied on this woman to get to where he is today, he just looked down on her.
"Nine thousand years old, why did Zhang Yan accept Lin Ping'an as his adoptive brother? Where did that kid come from?"
Keshi asked Wei Zhongxian. She was a little surprised when she heard the news as soon as she returned to Xian'an Palace this morning, so she immediately ordered Wei Zhongxian to come over.
Wei Zhongxian was also confused. As soon as Lin Ping'an left Kunning Palace yesterday, someone reported everything that happened in Kunning Palace to him. He thought about it all night and was still confused. He couldn't imagine that Zhang Yan was like this. Reason to do it.
Seeing Hakka asking questions at this moment, he could only shake his head and said:
"This matter is very strange, and our family can't figure it out."
Hearing these words, Mr. Ke was slightly surprised, thinking that you are nine thousand years old and control the Dongchang Jinyiwei. Is there anything in this court that you don't understand? "
But looking at Wei Zhongxian's innocent face, it didn't look like he was pretending to be confused, so she couldn't help but murmured:
"It's just a matter of recognizing him as a younger brother. Why do you need to take care of marriage matters for him? This is a bit confusing."
In fact, Wei Zhongxian also couldn't understand this matter.
How could a queen of the Ming Dynasty suddenly care about the director of a small imperial hospital?
Is it just because of his superb medical skills that he once saved Zhang Yan's life?
Wei Zhongxian's intuition told him that it would never be that simple.
But if it's not that simple, then why?
At this moment, he looked at Keshi, pondered for a moment, and then frowned and said:
"No matter what her plans are, as long as it is what she wants to do, we will definitely not let her get her wish."
Keshi nodded and asked, "Then what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian smiled. He walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps before he stood still, turned around and said:
"Since she is showing favor to Lin Pingan, Madam Feng Sheng might as well be nicer to that boy. As long as she can bring Lin Pingan to our side, no matter what Zhang Yan's plan is, it will all come to nothing!"
When Mrs. Ke heard this, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up. To be honest, she had a good impression of Lin Pingan, especially the last time she asked Lin Pingan to come to Xian'an Palace, he not only neglected to give her perfume, but also complained I apologized and even massaged her myself. She was an extremely polite child.
She thought for a moment and chuckled:
"Since Zhang Yan wants to be a matchmaker for him, then I will also act as a matchmaker for him. I will try to suppress Zhang Yan at any rate."
After saying this, she looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked:
"Which of the dignitaries in this court have daughters whose age is similar to that of Lin Ping'an? If you are nine thousand years old, you might as well send your men to check. Then I can choose one or two."
Wei Zhongxian seemed to have been prepared for this question. He hurriedly said:
"The granddaughter of Liu Chengyu, the Minister of Punishment, is twelve years old. Rumor has it that she is a famous and talented woman in the capital.
There is also Su Meier, the daughter of Su Quanzhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, who is also quite talented in the capital. "
Wei Zhongxian clapped his fingers and continued:
"The granddaughter of Yushi Cui Chengxiu is only 12 years old this year. It is said that she has a good appearance and a virtuous behavior, which is perfect for Lin Ping'an.
Well, by the way, although Tian Ergeng's daughter is only ten years old, she can also get engaged first and get married after two years. "
Wei Zhongxian finished speaking in one breath, looking quite proud.
These people all belong to the eunuch party. No matter who Lin Ping'an marries, they will definitely be attached to Wei Zhongxian in the future.
Keshi nodded when he heard this, Zhanyan smiled and said, "That's great!"
After walking out of Xian'an Palace, Wei Zhongxian breathed a long sigh of relief.
Perhaps Lin Ping'an's idea of starting industrial and commercial tax coincided with his, and Wei Zhongxian had an inexplicable emotion towards Lin Ping'an in his heart.
He couldn't understand this emotion himself. It seemed to be appreciation, and it seemed to be a feeling of sympathy. In short, Lin Ping'an gave him a good feeling, inexplicably good!
.
The next day, Lin Ping'an slept in, but when he got up, he saw Sylvia Yunshu and Liu Rushi missing. After asking, he found out that the two girls had gone out early in the morning, probably to take care of business.
Lin Ping'an was laughing dumbly while eating breakfast.
That's all for Sylvia. Liu Rushi was one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, but now he is turning him into a businessman. Does this count as changing history?
After breakfast, Lin Pingan walked slowly towards the Tai Hospital.
To be honest, as the dean, he is just a fisherman. Just like he was in Shengjing, he would go for a bite when he was happy, but he would just stop going when he was not.
Everyone in Taiyuan Hospital has no objection to this point, because everyone is the same. Apart from taking turns to be on duty in the palace every day, most of the other time is spent fishing.
The Imperial Hospital is located on Zijin Street not far from the palace. When Lin Ping'an entered, a group of imperial doctors were gathering around and gossiping.
Seeing Lin Pingan come in, Wang Heng pulled Lin Pingan over without saying a word, and everyone cheered and surrounded Lin Pingan.
"Master Dean, please tell me what is going on?"
An imperial doctor looked at Lin Ping'an with burning eyes and asked.
"What's going on?"
Lin Ping'an didn't know why.
"Hey, stop pretending."
Wang Heng patted Lin Ping'an: "Everyone knows that the Queen has recognized you as her adopted brother."
So it turns out that these people look like they are eating melons... Lin Ping'an suddenly realized, scratched his head and said:
"I'm also a little confused about this matter. Maybe the Queen is pleased with me, so she recognized me as her adoptive brother when she was happy."
Everyone made a noise, obviously not buying this reason. They looked at Lin Ping'an suspiciously, feeling that the other party must be hiding something.
Lin Pingan was very helpless. What he told was the truth. Why did Zhang Yan do that? He really doesn’t know!
So he spread his hands and made a very innocent expression.
Wang Heng gossiped again: "I heard that the Queen wants to marry you. Which family's daughter did you choose?"
Lin Ping'an realized at this time that this incident only happened in Kunning Palace yesterday. How come everyone in Taiyuan Hospital knew about it today?
So he asked very doubtfully:
"How do you know so clearly?"
Hearing this, everyone laughed, and an imperial doctor said:
"The entire court knows about this matter, how could we not know about it?"
"What? The entire court knows about it!"
Lin Ping'an exclaimed in surprise, feeling that the spread of this gossip was almost catching up with the time when he had the Internet in his previous life.
"Master Dean, I can guarantee that from today on, your threshold will definitely be crossed by those who propose marriage."
Wang Heng patted his chest and said, looking determined.
Everyone nodded and looked at Lin Ping'an curiously, wanting to hear the latest gossip from the other party's mouth.
Lin Ping'an looked bitter, shook his head and said:
"I just turned thirteen this year. How could I get married so early, so I didn't agree."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Pingan like a fool. After a long time, Wang Heng finally asked:
"Did you really reject the Queen?"
"Is this still false?"
Lin Ping'an took it for granted. He was a modern man at heart and extremely resisted the ancient rules of marriage.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Yan's marriage is equivalent to drawing lots. If the other party is both talented and beautiful, it is lucky. If it is fat and ugly, it will be unjust. When the time comes, when the time comes, the bridal chamber will be cooked. , I can’t find a place to cry even if I want to.
Therefore, Lin Ping'an firmly opposed the marriage grant.
Seeing Lin Pingan's sworn look, everyone finally believed that the other party was not telling lies, but it was a little hard to understand.
In this era, what an honor it is to be granted marriage by the queen. This boy actually refused directly, which really made people a little worried for him.
Wang Heng felt that as the eldest brother, he should persuade Lin Ping'an to at least explain the stakes clearly. After all, this little brother was too young and had just arrived in the capital, so he might not know much about these people's ways of the world.
So he patted Lin Ping'an and said seriously:
"Little brother, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be confused? Do you know what an honor it is to be married to the Queen?
Moreover, the family to whom the Empress is marrying is definitely a high-ranking official in the court. When you first come to the capital, you are as groundless as duckweed on a willow leaf. If you have this marriage and the care of the Empress, it will only take time for you to rise to great heights in the future. The problem. "
When everyone heard Wang Heng's words, they immediately nodded, feeling that what Wang Heng said was very true.
So everyone started to persuade Lin Pingan.
"Dean Xiaolin, since you are now the Queen's adopted brother, you might as well go to the palace one day and tell the Queen that you regret it, and ask the Queen to grant you another marriage."
An imperial physician said very sincerely.
"Yes, what Brother Zhang said is very true."
Another imperial doctor continued: "The entire imperial court knows about this matter. You directly rejected the Queen, so where is the Queen's face? Aren't you deliberately trying to prevent the Queen from stepping down?"
Everyone looked solemn when they heard the doctor's words, and suddenly felt that the problem was a bit serious.
Wang Heng slapped his thigh heavily and sighed:
"After all, you are a young man, so it is really inappropriate to think about the problem. You are now the director of our hospital. If you offend the Queen, even we will suffer too!"
Wang Heng's words immediately made everyone a little nervous.
Everyone knows that the imperial doctor has the least status in this palace, and often plays the role of a doormat. If he offends the queen, just find any excuse, and it will be enough for everyone to drink.
Lin Ping'an was amused in his heart and thought that these imperial doctors were quite funny. The association was rich enough, so he thought about it in a pretentious way and asked everyone seriously:
"I heard that the Queen and Madam Fengsheng are not on good terms. If I agree to the Queen's promise, will the person in Xian'an Palace have any thoughts about our hospital?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
The look they looked at Lin Pingan suddenly became strange. After a long time, Wang Heng grabbed Lin Pingan's hand and asked in a trembling voice:
"Master Dean, is this really the reason why you rejected the Queen?"
