Red makeup against the world

Chapter 484
Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly took Xu Wanzhen, and got up from the table to greet: "My wife/I have seen the empress."

Empress Cao smiled brightly and said, "You don't need to be too polite, please hurry up."

"I heard that the queen mother has guests here, so I hurried to have a look. Sure enough, the queen mother treats guests differently. Just looking at it, my son and minister can't help talking."

"It's just you who talk a lot," Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile, "Sit down quickly, if you don't sit down, you won't even be able to sit down."

The atmosphere between the two is casual and comfortable, a little more harmonious than that of ordinary people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Seeing the opportunity, Liuli set out the chopsticks specially used by Empress Cao and brought them up.

Empress Dowager Xiao picked up her chopsticks, and several people started eating their dinner in silence.

Empress Cao looked at Xu Wanzhen who was opposite from the corner of her eye. Because of Wu Zhengxiang, she was a little more curious about this woman who was about to become his wife.The main purpose of coming here suddenly was to see what kind of woman she was.

If her guess is true, then Wu Zhengxiang is the "shadow" of Emperor Qinglong.She didn't believe it, Xu Wan really made the decision for him to marry him, it must be his own wish.

When she was in Changle Palace in the afternoon, she heard Mrs. Zhuang taking Xu Wanzhen to Yanqing Palace.At the beginning, I didn't pay much attention to it, I thought it was just the Queen Mother's words, and the two took the opportunity to get close.Then news came that Xu Wanzhen presented a set of epidemic prevention strategies to the Queen Mother.

This made her have to think a little more, was this strategy Xu Wanzhen thought of herself, or did Wu Zhengxiang borrow her hand?

After dinner, Empress Dowager Xiao sent Mrs. Zhuang and Xu Wanzhen out of the palace with colored glaze.

Su Liangzhi fought fiercely with Zhao Yuanshi and Hu Taiyi, and Empress Dowager Xiao asked him to stay in the Tai Hospital and continue to discuss.

At first, Imperial Physician Hu didn't care about Su Liangzhi's young age.After arguing, I realized that he was well-informed, and he had never heard of some of the diseases he mentioned.Immediately put away the contempt, and began to discuss seriously.

Envoy Zhao asked about the epidemic that Su Liangzhi experienced when he was in Yingzhou.Compare the method used in the epidemic with his own experience.Sometimes frowning, sometimes laughing, sometimes thinking hard, intoxicated.

……

The night was getting darker, and because of the flood, there were suddenly more government affairs to be dealt with.

After closing the last memorial, Emperor Qinglong yawned, feeling tired.

Seeing that Emperor Qinglong had finished his business, Wu Guangqi respectfully presented a bundled paper scroll, which was sealed with vermilion sealant and a small seal with the word "雨" on it, indicating that it was a secret paper roll presented by the Shadow Guard Rain Group. fold.

Emperor Qinglong reached out to take it, and unfolded it on the desk.

After a while, he laughed loudly: "Okay! Very good!"

The troubles of recent days have been one after another. First, the crown prince lost his virtue, and then the Yellow River broke its embankment. It has been a long time since Wu Guangqi saw Emperor Qinglong so happy.

Emperor Qinglong waved to him and said, "Come and see."

Wu Guangqi has followed him for many years. He is not only a minister, but also a master and servant. He knows Emperor Qinglong better than Empress Cao.Between the two, there are no secrets.Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, but since Emperor Qinglong let him see, he can see.

"Epidemic prevention strategy?" Wu Guangqi whispered.

Emperor Qinglong stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's a lady from a boudoir."

What he is happy about is this.Regardless of the content, just looking at this incident, it shows that under his rule, the government is well-organized, the people are harmonious, and the way of speaking is open, even the women in the boudoir can worry about the world.

"Xu Wanzhen? Why does this name sound familiar to me?"

Wu Guangqi thought for a while, then said with a smile: "A few days ago, the empress dowager just gave her a marriage. Right now, she is the wife of the second son of the Wu family who has never been married. The empress dowager was afraid that she would be bullied by Mrs. Zhongguo, so she specially sealed her in advance. Five products are pleasant."

"When you said that, I remembered." Emperor Qinglong said with a smile: "On the day of my mother's birthday, I was asked to find Wu Zhengxiang."

"Your Majesty, do you want to meet the Empress Dowager?"

Emperor Qinglong waved his hands and said, "It's rare for the empress to be interested in this, so let her take care of it."

Emperor Qinglong did not place much hope on this set of epidemic prevention strategies.Where is the epidemic so easy to deal with?

However, the queen mother is lonely in the deep palace.In order to avoid suspicion, she does not interfere with government affairs or the harem, and it is rare that there is one thing that keeps her busy.

……

A few days later, several clouds hung in the sky, motionless.The sun shone down hotly, making the streets paved with bluestones hot.

Behind Nantong Lane, in a dilapidated tile-roofed house, there was a sudden "crash" sound of a crock pot breaking, followed by a burst of exclamation.

"Second brother! What's the matter with you, wake up! Wuwuwu..." A girl about seven or eight years old was lying on a boy, sobbing.A crock pot with a chipped mouth was broken into several pieces, and the fresh water flowed all over the floor.

Her hair was messy and tied into a braid behind her head, and her clothes were obviously short, revealing a large part of her wrist.

The boy was lying on the straw mat, his eyes were closed and he was unconscious, his face was like gold paper.There were several blisters on the mouth, and it twitched from time to time.

"Brother, don't scare Linger, what can you do if you tell Linger?" The girl was obviously frightened, sobbing non-stop, two lines of tears dripped black marks on her face.

"Ling'er, what's the matter?" A rough voice sounded from outside the door.

"Uncle, come and see."

A stocky man in his fifties, wearing a bunt with the sleeves rolled up high, was dressed like a coolie on the pier.After entering the door, he frowned and said: "Little girl Ling'er, the second son must be sick, you should go to the doctor to see him. Judging by the situation, he can't go to the hospital by himself."

The short and strong man hesitated for a moment, took out ten big coins, and handed it to Linger: "Here, go and hire the doctor as soon as possible, we can't delay."

Ling'er stopped sobbing, but retracted her hand reflexively, and said: "Uncle, brother said that you want to support the family, so I can't take any more money from you."

"Hurry up, this is different. I see that the second son's illness is severe, so don't delay. If you invite a doctor to come to your door and pay for the consultation fee, where do you have money?"

Ling'er's eyes kept going back and forth between the unconscious brother and the money in the man's open palm.In the end, worrying about her brother got the upper hand, she grabbed the big money in the man's hand, knelt down and kowtowed: "Ling'er, thank you uncle."

There was a simple and honest smile on the face of the short and strong man, and he went out with her: "Go quickly, don't delay."

Halfway through, there was a strong smell of meat.Looking around, I saw half a pig's head placed on the stove under the eaves.In the iron pot, there is still half a pot of stewed pork head meat, exuding an aroma.

The short and strong man couldn't help but shrugged his nose, it smells so good, he hasn't known the smell of meat for half a month.

Ling'er is a clever child, following his gaze, he understood, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, take this half of the pig's head. My brother is sick and can't eat it. Linger has half a pot here, enough to eat a few." God!"
