Chapter 442 Tonic
Chapter 442 "Tonication"
Having been "relieved", Zhao Jia did not ask for marriage, which made the wife of the minister Wu Yashi a little confused. But this was not something that the woman was rushing to ask for help, so she naturally would not speak.
Unexpectedly, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, perhaps because the weather turned colder, Ruhui's illness was recurred, but it was much more serious than in previous years.
Ruhui is a symptom of asthma. She had had two illnesses before. Each time she recovered in just three or four days, but this time she looked bad. Her eyes were swollen, her lips were purple, her face was pale, and she was sweating all over.
Because he was afraid of delaying his daughter's marriage, Ru Hui had asthma, Wu Yashi always kept it from the outside, and even her relatives were no exception. He wanted to take advantage of his young age and take care of her for two years to get better, but he didn't expect that now it is getting worse.
In a hurry, the doctor asked about medicine, and the Minister's Mansion didn't care much about it, and the matter spread.
When Zhao Jia heard that her niece had a chronic illness, she couldn't help but speak out in surprise. She didn't know whether she should blame her brother and sister-in-law for hiding it. She secretly thanked that she didn't settle the marriage between the two families as soon as possible.
Since August, Cao Yong went to Taipu Temple to serve as a servant. Because Hanqing came back to Rehe at the end of June, only Yidu established one in the yamen in the past two months. It is true that he is busy, and it is true that he searched Yuzi to go to the outside house all day long.
Yiduli was very grateful for Cao Yong's favor last time. It happened that the yamen was not busy, so he specially invited Cao Yong to the restaurant for a drink and thanked him.
When he spoke during this meal, he was always complaining.
According to Yiduli's thoughts, he originally wanted to take Yang Ruixue and his daughter back home. After all, they lived in these two ways, so he didn't care about this and that he was so tired that he turned over and flipped over.
But every time Yang Ruixue mentioned it, he could only cry, saying that he was from a small family and was afraid of the rules of the mansion and did not dare to accept it.
Although Yang Ruixue is a woman, she guards two stores herself, and her daily expenses are not directed at Yiduli. Sometimes, she even buys high-quality clothes and materials for Yiduli to cut clothes.
Yi Duli only felt like a son-in-law and was not confident enough to speak. In addition, he really felt a little sincere to Yang Ruixue and was unwilling to go against her wishes. After getting married, he worked hard to "sow seeds" and hoped that Yang Ruixue would get pregnant early. When he had a child, he would take her home with confidence and go.
Unexpectedly, after half a year, Yang Ruixue's stomach still didn't move. Yi Duli couldn't help but feel a little depressed when talking about this, and he also muttered: "Can I be old? Or, find some ways to get some prescriptions for replenishing semen?"
These are all Yiduli's family affairs. Cao Yong was not interested in listening, but he was pulled over and it was difficult to leave immediately.
When Cao Yong heard the troubles of Yidu being a child, he remembered what his sister said to him in private when Tianhui was full moon. Chu Yu was hurting his body due to childbirth, so he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get pregnant again.
When Cao Jia talked about it, he was a little upset. When Cao Yong heard it, he felt uncomfortable, but it was not because of his own reasons, but because of his own, he was worried that Chu Yu would know how uncomfortable he would feel in the future.
In Cao Yong's heart, with Tianyou and Tianhui, his adopted son Hengsheng, his nephew Zuo Cheng, and his brother Zuo Zhu, there are enough children in this mansion.
In fact, he was vaguely grateful. Even if Chu Yu was pregnant, Cao Yong would not dare to take the risk of letting her have another baby.
Yiduli was still waiting for Cao Yong to give some suggestions. Seeing that Cao Yong did not respond, he asked guiltily: "What? Furuo also saw that I was old. It was said that I was just over thirty years old and was still in my prime!" When he said this, he was not so sure. He poured himself a glass of wine and said: "Although the second prince was detained, he had three children this year... Should he ask someone to inquire... see if there is any folk remedy for kidney nourishment?" The last words were not like asking Cao Yong, but more like talking to himself.
Cao Yong had seen Yiduli's wine. Seeing that his face was flushed and his tongue was a little big, he said, "This is not an urgent matter. If you have children and daughters, it may not be the problem. Just look for a good doctor. Today, I will drink here first. There are still some things at home. I should go back. I will accompany the adults another day." As he said that, he had already gotten up from his seat and called the waiter to check out the bill.
But Yiduli didn't drink enough and said with his tongue: "This...this is less than two pots of wine..."
Cao Yong thought to himself, okay, if he really drank two pots, he would be unable to control himself and would be crazy about drinking.
While speaking, the waiter had already entered and settled the bill of wine, which totaled seven cents and five cents of silver. Cao Yong was about to take out his wallet, but Yi Duli pulled it out and said, "Since I invited Furuo to drink, how can I repay you to pay the bill? Isn't it?" As he said, he took the purse, took out two pieces of silver from it, and threw it to the waiter.
The waiter nodded and bowed. Yiduli took a purse and showed off to Cao Yong with a little pride: "Look, these are all prepared by Yang... He said he was afraid that I would not be cheap to spend money on the silver, so he specially twisted the silver crock into half a tael, two and a half cents... Haha, I know the cold and the heat..."
Yi Li said these good words from Yang Ruixue every day, but there were eight times. Cao Yong's ears were almost calloused when he heard them...

In addition to Yiduli, the tenth prince is also worried about the second prince who has three children in a year.
He is not fat at all, and he has been raised in the mansion in the past two years due to "illness" and has not seen any meat and has become thinner.
Today, the Ninth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince came to visit each other. When they saw the Tenth Prince Qingjian like this, they all showed some concern.
Therefore, the two of them were a little concerned when they spoke. The Ninth Prince advised him to go out for more walks. It would be hard to keep hiding in the mansion like this. What does this look like? If someone who doesn’t know the truth meets him, he will think that he has made some mistakes. What is the difference between this and the Big Prince and the Thirteenth Prince?
Go out and relax, and your mood is better, and your body may be refreshed.
The 14th Prince was worried about the 10th Prince's condition. After two years of repeated care, it was not good. This is not a worry. Should we go to the people to find some prescriptions to eat?
You should know that the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are most cautious in prescribing prescriptions. They do not ask for effectiveness or failure, but they do not seek any mistakes. It is just a minor problem, and they can also keep them for two months.
The tenth prince didn't want to say more, so he changed his mind and asked, "Did the starlings have a letter? The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and it's time for the Emperor to visit Mongolia."
When the Ninth Prince heard him ask about this, he felt a little uncomfortable and said, "I'm here to write, I don't know why. The Emperor Amaliu's star is in Rehe and did not let him follow him."
The tenth prince was surprised when he heard this and said, "What about the others, the third and fourth brothers, are also in Rehe?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "I just left one of the starlings, but I didn't let him go back to Beijing. The remaining third, fourth, Xiao Shiwu, Xiao Shiqi and others followed the Holy Lord to Mongolia."
The tenth prince was puzzled and said, "What does this emperor mean? Do you value the starling brother, or are you guarding against the starling brother?"
The Ninth Prince frowned, feeling a little gloomy, and didn't know how to answer.
The fourteenth prince, who was sitting at his head, looked at him and asked with a smile: "When did Brother Jiu receive a letter from his brother? Why did my brother ask about it yesterday and never heard Brother Jiu talk about this."
The Ninth Prince felt that the smile on the 14th Prince's face was annoying, and wanted to slap him a few words, but thought that the eighth Prince's situation was a bit difficult, and it was not the time for internal conflict. Therefore, he vaguely said: "The letter I just came yesterday afternoon is not enough to tell you."
After hearing this, the fourteenth prince stopped talking, lowered his head and held the teacup, and ate a bite of tea.
Looking at the thick beard on the 14th Prince's mouth, the 10th Prince suddenly became anxious and muttered: "I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I won't leave my ninth brother and my fourteenth brother for more!"
The Ninth Prince was still thinking about how to help the 14th Prince, how to move the 10th Prince with affection and reason. Only when these brothers work together can they break the gold. As long as they are combined into one force, even the Emperor's father will not be able to move them easily.
Unexpectedly, the Tenth Prince had already spoken to expel the guests. The Ninth Prince was so upset, but he knew that the Tenth Prince was soft and not hard. Seeing that he was really not energetic, he was not easy to get into a sensation, so he stood up embarrassedly and left the mansion with the Fourteenth Prince.
The tenth prince only sent it to the living room door, so he asked the housekeeper to send the two princes out and reported to him and returned to the room.
The Ninth Prince was so depressed. Now that the Eighth Prince was suppressed by the Emperor's father, he needed their brothers' help. How could Lao Ten be like this? However, he was already prepared for the Fourteenth Prince, but he did not show his feelings in front of him. He only thought that he should find a doctor and have a good look for the Tenth Prince. He looked very brotherly.
If you drink a friend, you can drink a thousand cups of wine, and you can't speak a lot without any speculation.
The two princes left the tenth prince's mansion, hummed and responded to each other, and then they dispersed.
But the Tenth Prince turned back to the inner hall and sat in a daze.
After a while, he heard the eunuch Xiao Shengzi report at the door: "Master, the medicine is ready!"
Upon hearing this, the tenth prince raised his head and said, "Send it in!"
Xiao Shengzi lowered his head and came in with a tray. There was a small jar of blue and white porcelain on it, and a cover bowl of blue and white porcelain next to it.
Seeing that his master was not speaking, Xiao Shengzi didn't know whether to put the tray on the kang table or the coffee table, so he glanced at him twice.
The tenth prince pointed to the kang table and said, "Put it there!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shengzi stepped forward and placed the tray on the kang table, and asked respectfully: "Master, Doctor Qiu said that the medicine will spread while it is hot. Is it that I will serve you a bowl?"
The tenth prince looked at the blue and white porcelain jar, his face was a little gloomy, and he nodded for a while.
As soon as the lid of the jar was opened, the meat was fragrant immediately. But Xiao Shengzi suppressed the disgust in his heart and put a bowl of it in a spoon, meat and soup.
The tenth prince drooped his face and sat on the edge of the kang, looking at the stewed meat and flesh in the soup bowl. This white and tender, like a fresh lotus root.
When he picked up the bowl, his hands were trembling, his face turned pale, and he bowed his head and vomited.
Although he was eager to cure, he was still a person. The so-called "miracle doctor" had just prescribed this prescription, but he didn't feel anything. He was waiting for the "tonic" to be placed in front of him, but he couldn't stand it.
Xiao Shengzi was by his side. Seeing that the Tenth Prince was like this, he didn't know whether to bring the basin or take the towel, but he was a little busy for a while.
The tenth prince vomited twice, and did not look at the porcelain jar, waved his hand at Xiao Shengzi and said, "Retreat, retreat, hurry up and take the jar away and bury it in search of a place..."
Xiao Shengzi didn't dare to delay, so he quickly placed the towel in his hand on the edge of the kang beside Prince Ten, and took the porcelain jar down.
In a hurry, he dropped the soup bowl.
The tenth prince vomited almost the same thing, and reached out to pull the towel to wipe his mouth. He turned his head and saw the blue and white bowl. The white piece, the meat like lotus root, was standing horizontally on the bowl.
"Vomit..." The tenth prince couldn't help it again, leaned over and vomited, and it made his mouth feel bitter, as if he even vomited bile...
The tenth prince felt something was wrong, so he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his eyes, but tears came out of his eyes. Some self-deprecating appeared on his face and murmured, "Grandma..."
The Buddha said that all sentient beings suffer, and there will be causes and effects in the dark.
The Tenth Prince couldn't help but feel distressed. Could it be that he had done something unforgivable and why did he end up like this now?
However, Cao Yong and Yiduli came out after drinking. Seeing what he said was drunk, but his expression was quite clear, he told him to take him back.
Next year is August 18th, and the autumn examination will end. Both Cao Shuo and Cao Xiang brothers will take the exam. Therefore, Cao Yong went back to his house directly.
Although Cao Song was walking around, because there was no shortage in the guard office, Zhao Jia, outside, recited it twice in front of Cao Yong, which was nothing more than a bit harder and a bit tired.
