"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Song asked with concern when he saw Xiao Jingzhao rubbing his chest with his hands after waking up.
"Master, don't worry about the eldest young master. I think the eldest young master is much better than the past few days."
Xiang Song glanced at the "Record of Strange Diseases" on the desk, and then at the bare candlestick. It was obvious that his master stayed up late again last night to check the medical book.
The eldest son born to Princess Yan Nan was frail and sickly since childhood, and was named Xiao Kang. Princess Yan just wanted him to be healthy.
Xiao Kang's health went up and down. When Xiao Jingzhao was seven years old, King Yannan and his wife saw that their eldest son's health was not improving, so they asked Xiao Jingzhao to be crowned the crown prince.
Xiao Jingzhao said calmly: "I'm fine, go and see if anyone has posted a notice."
In order to find capable people to treat his elder brother, Xiao Jingzhao searched for famous doctors and had people put up notices outside the palace asking for money to seek medical treatment.
Xiang Song bowed his hands respectfully: "I'll go right now."
Looking at Xiang Song's retreating figure, Xiao Jingzhao sat up and continued to read medical books.
My eyes stayed on the book for a long time, but my mind couldn't read a single word.
Why did that beautiful child appear in his dream? !
The silvery laughter still seemed to linger in my ears.
I am 21 years old this year, I have not married, I have not married, I don’t have a wife, let alone children.
wrong!
He had been poisoned by the aphrodisiac, and Xiang Song and Xiang Yang were eager to save him and put him on the same couch as a woman who was also poisoned by the medicine.
Could it be that she...
Xiao Jingzhao shook his head violently and immediately denied the random thoughts in his heart.
The woman died. Maybe the woman was poisoned more seriously than he was?
The eldest brother's old illness relapsed a few days ago, and his mother and concubine kept urging him to choose the crown prince.
Xiao Jingzhao was worried about his eldest brother's illness and had to help his father with government affairs. He was exhausted both physically and mentally and could not think of getting married.
…
After giving birth, Jiang Shuyue was extremely sleepy. While sleeping, she dreamed of a pair of phoenix eyes as bright as stars smiling at her.
Just when she was trying to see the face clearly, the baby's cry sounded, pulling her out of her sleep.
"Young master, be good, stop disturbing your mother." Qiu Ju heard the child's cry and hurriedly ran into the house, picked up the child and patted her gently.
Jiang Shuyue slowly opened her eyes, and the pain in her chest became more and more intense.
"Qiu Ju, go and twist a wet handkerchief with hot water. The child is hungry."
After a while, Jiang Shuyue sat sideways on the bed, watching the soft and waxy child in her arms greedily drinking milk, a warm current slowly rose from the bottom of her heart.
This is probably maternal love.
Looking at the milk overflowing from the corner of the child's mouth, Qiu Ju said excitedly: "Miss, Lin Miaoshou's recipe is really good. Our young master won't be hungry anymore."
"Miss, what name do you want to give the young master? Do we really have to wait a hundred days before naming him?"
Qiu Ju said she didn't believe that. There was no such custom in the capital, and the children were fine.
Jiang Shuyue's eyebrows were curved, and her pale face made the beauty mark between her eyebrows even brighter red.
She stared at the baby in her arms for a long time and said calmly: "Just call him Jiang Suian! Just call him Suisui by his nickname. It's easy and easy to remember."
"Peace every year has a very good meaning. I also hope that the young lady will have peace every year like the young master."
"Qiu Ju, don't call him young master outside. Just call him Suisui. When he can call people, I'll ask him to call you aunt."
"Miss, please don't mess with your dignity. The lady treats your slave as a relative, and your slave must abide by your duties."
Jiang Shuyue returned the deed of betrayal to Qiu Ju, and Qiu Ju made up her mind to follow the lady for the rest of her life and never go anywhere.
Now that she has a lovely young master, she will never leave.
Jiang Shuyue saw that Qiu Ju had difficulty accepting the idea that everyone is equal, so she stopped forcing it.
While the master and servant were talking, they heard a sheep braying in the yard.
Qiu Ju went out to take a look and saw a goat standing in the yard.
The goat's belly is bulging, and it looks like it has nursed a lamb.
Qiu Ju was so surprised that she turned around and ran back to the house: "Miss, we have goat's milk to drink every year."
"Where did the sheep come from? Go to Aunt Su's house and ask. Maybe the villagers' sheep are lost."
Jiang Shuyue couldn't leave the sheep behind. The villagers were not rich, and the lost ones might be looking for them anxiously.
She and Qiu Ju rarely interact with each other on weekdays. They don't know which family raises sheep.
"Miss, when I passed by the village, I didn't see anyone raising a sheep. That sheep was a goat. When I went to the mountain with Nannan, I saw it from a distance."
Qiu Ju muttered and walked towards the Su family not far away.
In Su's courtyard, Su Jin was packing up the fish he had caught.
Su Nan pointed at a big fish and said, "Brother, this fish is the fattest. It can feed Sister Yue'er a meal."
The sixteen-year-old boy had dark hair tied high in a bun, and even a cotton shirt could not hide the extraordinary aura he exuded.
Su Jin's facial features are more like Aunt Su's, with handsome eyebrows and a tanned skin from working all day.
He moved swiftly and quickly picked up several crucian carp.
Looking back, he saw Su Nan pointing at the big herring and said, "Uncle Lin said that we have to drink crucian carp soup today. We will raise the herring first and then stew it for my sister in a few days."
Su Hui lit the fire, and Su Jin fried the crucian carp and put in two bowls of water.
While cutting vegetables, he told Su Hui: "Just use medium heat and cook the soup into a thick soup."
In the main room, Su Huairen, who was wearing a cotton gown, was concentrating on copying a scroll.
Aunt Su held a piece of cotton cloth in her hand and was sewing threads on the side.
It is midsummer now, and she is preparing winter cotton clothes for her children.
"Father of the child, what would you like to name the child? As a person who has read books, please help prepare some meaningful names."
Su Huairen stopped the pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I think that girl has an idea and is also educated. She can do the naming thing. You and Hui'er go over and take a look, take care of her and raise her." Just be in good health.”
"Since Miss Jiang came to our village, our family no longer has to worry about food and drink. She is our family's lucky star." Aunt Su said with emotion.
Su Huairen nodded slightly and agreed very much with Aunt Su's words.
In the past, life at home was so tight that we were reluctant to buy fine cotton.
Since Jiang Shuyue came here, everyone in their family has been dressed in fine cotton.
The eggs at home can be sold for money. When Sunan followed Jiang Shuyue to pick mushrooms in the back mountains, she always picked up the most valuable mushrooms, and even picked up Linzhi several times.
Even the vegetables in the vegetable field are growing more luxuriantly than before.
"Master, madam, a ewe has entered the yard. The lady asked the slave to come and ask whose family it belongs to?"
While the couple was talking, Qiu Ju's voice sounded outside the door.
Aunt Su put down her needlework and walked out: "No one raises sheep in the village. I'll go with you right away to take a look."
Su Nan lost no time and followed up: "Mom, can I go see Sister Yue'er's little treasure?"
"Let's go and see! The young lady has named the young master Jiang Sui'an. His nickname is Sui Sui. Doesn't it sound good?" Qiu Ju smiled happily when she talked about Sui Sui.
As soon as they walked outside the fence, Sunan said with certainty: "This is not someone's sheep. I have seen it in the mountains. It is a wild goat."
