"Hua Chen, you can't expel me openly; Xiang Aiqing, please do your best!"
Xiang Xu lowered his eyes, only looking at the toes of his shoes, bowed his hands respectfully, and slowly stepped back.
If anyone in the Song Dynasty hoped that Hua Chen could be kicked out as soon as possible or even be "rectified", no one was more urgent than Hua Gaobi.
After recovering from the illness, Hua Gaobi insisted that he could stay in his house for a longer period of time in order to recuperate and consolidate the curative effect. Needless to say, the treatment was even more than before.
Tonglion agreed "naturally". After all, he was not just used as a "medical officer". The second task Wang Dan gave him was to inspire Hua Gaobi to have a deep understanding of China. The continued hatred of the Chen family.
In fact, there is no need for him to provoke the death of the old housekeeper Hua Wu. Although Hua Gaobi had "obtained evidence" and read a "memorial" according to the rules, it was like a cow in the sea. The king of Song Dynasty completely turned a deaf ear and was indifferent to the result. And deeply disappointed.
This "disappointment", as well as the constant reports from informants, related to the fact that Watson was secretly building his own "quasi" army, keeping a large number of strangers as his clients, and even throwing a birthday party for a lowly ordinary government officer... These actions one after another all illustrate that supporting the army's self-respect and deliberately plotting rebellion is just a matter of timing.
Hua Gaobi has not been sleeping well for a while. He is always awakened by nightmares in which the two cold rays of the "exquisite double-edged beryllium knives" are about to pierce his heart!
This knife was placed under the pillow by Hua Gaobi. He was always vigilant: not to sleep too deeply at night to prevent the thief from attacking him again.
This kind of tension cannot be seen during the day. In front of others, everything is normal, he speaks freely, and there is no problem. But at night, this "nightmare" lingers and happens again and again.
Seeing that he was so restless every night, Piaoliong also prescribed many medicines for him, such as mulberry, fried jujube kernels, poria, polygala, albizia bark, nocturnal vine, and baiziren. I tried them one by one, and he suffered from insomnia and dreaminess. The situation has not improved much.
It seems that this is a "heart disease" that must be treated with "heart medicine".
Pailion invited Hua Wu's wife out and asked her to come into the house and set up a bed, just like "grandma watching her grandson", to sleep with him.
The old lady had not slept with her "grandson" like this for many years. She tried her best to take care of Hua Gaobi day and night. It was also because the elderly did not sleep much. Her care was more effective than any traditional Chinese medicine.
As a result, Hua Gaobi's love and respect for Hua Wu's wife became even deeper than before. He even felt that in this world, the only person who could make him feel that he was still a "child ignorant of the world" was this kind and kind-hearted old lady.
Over time, the problems of "insomnia" and "nightmares" got better, but the "new problem" of having to be accompanied by Hua Wu's wife every night to sleep peacefully developed.
As the head of the family who inherited the title of Hua Yue, Hua Gaobi must also complete the important family tasks of "starting a family" and "carrying on the family line" as soon as possible.
But under the current situation, Hua Gaobi is not interested in young women at all.
Maybe this is a kind of "Oedipus complex". The attraction of older women to him is actually much greater.
The servants talked a lot; the "matchmakers" who were repeatedly rejected were also very worried: there were many women who could be worthy of his Fahrenheit family, but there was really no suitable "older and unmarried" official woman of the same family. candidate.
At this time, Piaoliong recommended someone to Hua Wu's wife.
This woman is none other than the abandoned concubine of the current Crown Prince Zuo - the beautiful girl who once worked as a maid in the Hua Yuan family. She has a pair of beautiful big eyes and fascinated Yang Zhen who was still in his youthful ignorance. .
Now, she has long fallen out of favor. Prince Zuo likes the new and hates the old. In order to welcome the beautiful newcomer who "cannot tolerate others sharing a husband with him" into the palace, he sent people to dispose of these "old clothes" in various ways. .
And she was one of those "sent away".
From the king's beloved concubine, she turned into a "trash" that no one wanted. Although she was no longer young, her years of life in the palace had already turned her into another kind of "trash". Self-reliant woman.
There was no need for anyone else to deal with the arrangement. She took the initiative to leave the palace on her own without taking any jewelry with her.
After leaving the palace, she embarked on the path of "self-employment" while looking for her father.
Tan Jun, in order to satisfy Yang Zhen's various hobbies and needs, had already kidnapped her father to the Tan country; and after many inquiries, she found out that her father was in the Tan country.
So, while doing a small business of "selling mutton soup and haggis", she slowly accumulated travel expenses so that she could go to Tan State as soon as possible and reunite with her father.
Obtaining the true inheritance from her father, the "mutton soup" and "mutton offal" she made soon became the "Internet celebrity check-in stall" among local people in Song Dynasty. Folk rumors: the female owner of this shop has always made her own She was very tight, but her whole body was particularly neat and tidy. Just from her figure and those beautiful big eyes, everyone could tell that she was a beauty.
Half of the people who came to help her business came to "dine"; the other half came to "beautiful and delicious".
Among them, there are the masters of the "Zeofu" caravan from Yangchen, Tan State, who travel between Tan and Song Dynasty all year round. This has also become their "agreement dining" signing booth. Not only here, they You can eat delicious and plentiful mutton soup; there is no need to pay immediately, you sign the order every time, and it is settled monthly.
After all, there are enough of these people, it can almost be said that they feed the maids by "eating and eating."
And the "word of mouth" about the deliciousness of this mutton soup gradually spread to Yang Zhen's ears.
Of course, he remembers the profound imprint that his beloved "delicious mutton soup" left on his career; and the maid's father's round-the-clock special service also allowed him to eat out of this "delicious mutton soup" from time to time. How I felt back then: That feeling of being ignorant and having a new love interest: fragrant, and "fragrant".
While chatting with the maid's father, he also heard that the maid lived an unhappy life with the prince Zuo, and that she had not yet given birth to a boy or a girl for him. She was soon disliked by the prince and fell out of favor.
Take the example of Yang Zhen in the past, when there was still "a hint of timidity and shyness", when it was just "an apple dropped", but because of "just raising his head, those beautiful eyes", he could be deeply impressed. The young boy was attracted; their eyes met, and even though it was just a fleeting glance, it was like "forever," and the scene for a moment was fixed in his mind forever." That feeling can still be recalled occasionally - but, Nowadays, my heart seems to have been "cast with copper and iron." Apart from "yes and no", it is difficult to stir up any emotional sparks.
