Chapter 92
Lu Songli wanted to keep this batch of medicinal materials, but she also knew that these medicinal materials were not cheap and it was impossible to accept them directly.
She quietly found her sister-in-law and mentioned the medicinal materials sent by the Tian family, "Sister-in-law, didn't our uncle and our eldest brother spend a lot of money on this trip to buy these medicinal materials?"
Tian didn't know how to answer, so she could only reply with two vague words, "It's okay."
Mrs. Tian knew that her father sent this cart of medicinal materials and local products to her husband's family for her sake. Her mother said that almost all of the profits from her father and her elder brother's trip were in this cart of medicinal materials. She was worried, wondering what her sister-in-law meant when she mentioned this matter.
Seeing her uneasy expression, Lu Songli simply spread her arms and said, "Sister-in-law, don't think too much. The herbs my uncle brought this time are very good and are of great use to me. I want to keep them. But A Niang What you said just now is right, the Lu family and the Tian family are in-laws, and there are some things that should be tolerated and considerate of each other without being resentful. So I want to buy this batch of medicinal materials with money."
In fact, she could have made an estimate of the price and then directly put the banknote in when her family returned the gift to the Tian family. During this time, she also had a general understanding of the quality and price of medicinal materials, and could roughly estimate the value of this batch of medicinal materials. But isn't she afraid that Uncle Tian will think too much?
Hearing these words, Tian's eyes were a little moist. She and her husband were indeed inappropriate in this matter. When her father came back and told her, she became even more panicked. She was afraid that people on her husband's side would have opinions and barriers towards her. From the time she came back to her parents' home to this moment, it can be said that she has been feeling very uneasy. Now her sister-in-law's comforting words reached her heart.
She sniffed and said, "Little sister, since my father sent these medicinal materials and they are useful to you, then you can accept them."
Lu Songli was helpless and said patiently, "Sister-in-law, brothers are still settling accounts. Relatives can only live together for a long time if they have contact with each other."
Finally, Tian gave Lu Songli a price.
After Tian gave the price, she didn't know if she was doing the right thing, and finally thought to herself that she was not smart anyway, so she should just listen to her sister-in-law. Her father and husband both said that her sister-in-law had become very smart. The most important thing is that what her sister-in-law said to her just now, she heard that it was sincere and not malicious and selfish, and she could see that her sister-in-law liked her son Xiaoxiao very much. So, just do as she says.
The reason why Lu Songli took the trouble to untie this knot today was mainly because there were already enough enemies outside. Family members and relatives may have some minor problems of one kind or another, but it’s not a big problem. She can fight with people wildly outside, but at home, she hopes to be more relaxed and not worry too much, otherwise she will be too tired.
On Tian Qinglai's side, Mrs. Tian found him and told him about his sister-in-law Lu Songli's thoughts, and also brought a banknote.
Tian Qinglai took a look and found that the other party had added 20% to the selling price of the batch of medicinal materials. He knew that Lu Songli could speak well in the Lu family now. She was not just an ordinary boudoir girl like before. Since she said that to her daughter, it meant that the Lu family really didn't care about what he was worried about earlier. It was because he was overthinking it.
He had to sigh at the grandeur of the Lu family. The Lu family was really an excellent family.
In the end, he did not collect all the banknotes. Instead, both parties took a step back, and the Tian family only received the cost price.
Yugan Palace
During Lu Desheng's illness, Emperor Kang Cheng was also ill, and he missed a whole day because of it.
Wei Zili saw that the emperor was recovering from illness but could not sleep. After thinking about it for a while, he told him that Lu Desheng was also ill.
He learned about the Lu family's request for an imperial doctor this morning, and only after asking a few questions did he find out that Lu Desheng was ill. The emperor was suffering from an illness at that time, so he didn't hesitate to ask more questions at that time, and only asked his young apprentice to follow up on the follow-up news.
Emperor Kang Cheng, who was a little tired at first, felt a little more energetic when he heard the news that Lu Desheng was also ill. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for his fellow sufferers.
"What's wrong with Lu Aiqing? Did he call for a doctor?"
Wei Zili replied, "I heard that I have been working too hard recently, and my anger has attacked my heart, and then I accidentally caught a cold, and the disease was suddenly triggered."
When Emperor Kang Cheng heard this, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Lu Desheng was quite angry." He made himself sick with anger, but is he okay?
Emperor Kang Cheng remembered that his Lu Aiqing was indeed quite capable of tossing recently, like a rooster with a sharp beak that pecked whoever he caught, helping him solve a lot of troubles. After being active for a while, isn’t it going to be wilting now?
Wei Zilixin said, Your Majesty, don't you know best whether Lu Da is popular or not?
"Hel me up."
Emperor Kang Cheng, who just now was plotting and lamenting his old age and frailty, felt that he was okay again. Lu Desheng was ten years younger than him, so wasn't he also sick? It can be seen that in this winter, getting sick is common.
Wei Zili saw that the emperor had become more energetic, and became even more excited when he mentioned Lu Desheng, "Your Majesty, I heard that when Mr. Lu was in the most serious condition, he was speechless for a time. It is said that when Mr. Lu discovered this situation, his face turned pale with fright."
Emperor Kangcheng laughed loudly when he heard this. It was true that the patient's face was pale when he was ill, snow-white, exaggerated, but Emperor Kang Cheng thought he could understand Lu Desheng's fear when he found that he could not speak. He is the censor. Without his voice, he is equivalent to losing his weapons. Then from now on, he will be at the mercy of others in the court.
"Send someone to the Lu Mansion to see if he is feeling better? Tell him that he can't do this. Why is his health worse than mine? By the way, bring some medicinal materials from the palace to the Lu family. The medicinal materials from outside are not as good as those brought as tribute. Well, get him another golden elixir."
With so much grace, Wei Zili decided to send his most capable apprentice to take a trip.
Originally, Emperor Kangcheng wanted to give him a copy of the Diamond Sutra, so that he could cultivate his moral character and cultivate his temperament. But when I think about it, if Lu Desheng really succeeds in cultivating his character, who will he use? I suppressed this idea.
"This slave obeys the order." Wei Zili didn't blink when he heard these rewards. That was Lu Desheng's ability. Those of them who serve the emperor, their only thought is that the emperor is happy every day, and whoever can make the emperor happy will be mentioned more, so that their lives can be easier. They would almost never take the initiative to mention those adults who easily made the emperor angry, because that would cause trouble for themselves.
"By the way, when you send someone to see Lu Desheng, let him lie down and recuperate, so you don't have to torment him." Emperor Kang Cheng casually gave him another favor.
What I mean is, Mr. Lu is not allowed to stand up and salute, I understand.
When the people who sent him came back and reported that Lu Desheng's condition had improved, Emperor Kangcheng murmured to Wei Zili in private that they were really destined to be kings and ministers, and they even fell ill together.
Wei Zili felt numb in his heart. Master Lu was so lucky that no one else could even get sick at the same time as the emperor, so he was remembered by the emperor.
Lu Desheng looked at the elixir given by the emperor and felt a little dumbfounded. The emperor was good at everything, but he loved sharing the elixir with him too much.
My daughter said, I can’t eat this stuff.
Lu Desheng's voice returned a little, and he was mumbling.
"Dad, you should be lucky that the emperor didn't ask you to eat the golden elixir in front of an angel."
When Lu Desheng heard this, he looked horrified. The emperor asked him to take the golden elixir in front of him. Did he want to take him away in one fell swoop?
"Daughter, stop talking, these words are too scary."
Lu Songli said, "Okay."
"Let's dissolve this elixir quietly." Lu Desheng tried hard to express his feelings to his wife.
Mrs. Jiang nodded and gave him a reassuring look.
The elixir given earlier together with the death-free gold medal had been disposed of long ago.
It didn't take long for everyone in Chang'an City to know that Lu Desheng was ill and Emperor Kang Cheng sent someone to visit him. Knowing that Emperor Kang Cheng not only sent people to visit the Lu family, but also gave some good medicinal materials, he was allowed not to get up to thank him...
At that time, Tian Qinglai and his son had not left yet. Tian Qinglai saw it with his own eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his in-laws were really blessed by the Holy Family.
Lu Desheng's illness even called in the imperial doctor, so he couldn't take any leave.
So after hearing this, all the ministers secretly cursed, could this guy Lu Desheng be the reincarnation of a flatterer? Then he couldn't help but think sourly, what kind of luck did this guy have? Even if you are sick, you can bump into the emperor. Now you have to be pampered by the emperor to death. Some wives are even trying hard to remember which temple the Buddha from Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Jiang worshiped years ago? Only then can we have such strong luck. Oh, it seems to be Laojun Temple. Well, they are also going to say goodbye this year, and their family will change to this from now on!
