Returning to Before Husband’s Castration

Due to the experience of being kidnapped last time, Wei Caiwei took a bow and snake shadow, and kept an eye on it. Even if someone from the Yu Palace took the post of Princess Yu to pick it up, she asked the housekeeper of the Lu Palace to send a team of guards to follow the car.

Used to seeing the magnificent splendor of the Forbidden City, the dilapidation of Prince Yu's Mansion is nothing like a Prince's Mansion.

Emperor Jiajing disliked King Yu and started from his childhood, but the princes spent their childhood in the East and the West of the Palace of the Qing Dynasty. The treatment is the same, and the life can be passed on, but the prince will move out of the Forbidden City and open a mansion after he gets married. After that, Wang Yu's life will be difficult.

The Ministry of Household is in charge of distributing the salaries of the prince and princess and other royal family members.

Shilang Yan supported King Jing. The salary he sent to King Jing and other members of the royal family was never in arrears, and he was happy, but when it was King Yu’s turn, Shilang Yan always found various reasons to be in arrears, which made Prince Yu’s mansion often unable to make ends meet. .

In addition to his salary, King Jin was favored by Emperor Jiajing from time to time to give him money such as salt yin, imperial village, imperial shop, etc. Concubine Lu Jing also provided various subsidies, so the king of Jin bribed Yan Shifan, and one shot was a thousand taels of gold. He is rich.

However, King Yu had nothing except his salary, and was often deducted by Yan Shifan in arrears. His life was tight. It can be said that he was the poorest prince in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

King King's Mansion was newly built, while King Yu's Mansion was an old palace that was vacated by the old vassal princes who went to the vassal area. It has been almost a hundred years, and the houses were damaged, but there was no money to repair them. Seal the houses that are too broken to live in and lock them up.

The sealed broken house became the world of wild cats, and there were even fox dens and wild rabbit dens, making Prince Yu's Mansion like a small zoo.

When the two palaces were compared, it was known that Emperor Jiajing's heart was in the armpit.

Wei Caiwei's carriage entered the palace from the west gate. The guard guarding the door pushed open the door, removed the threshold, and let the carriage go directly in. The vermilion paint on the gate was dim and dull, and pieces of violent, peeling, and mottled, like psoriasis, the guard pushed the door. At that time, the cracked paint shards fell off the vibration of the gate, and then was swept into the air by the northwest wind.

The roads of the palace were potholes and carriages passed by. The bumps were severe, and the places where the pits were too severe were smashed with burnt coal and matted. The strong wind was blowing, and the black charcoal was blowing everywhere, and it could not be swept away. clean.

Where the carriage passes by, there is often a fence supported by trees. The fence is a few years old at first glance, and it is crumbling under the westerly wind.

When Wei Caiwei passed by, she couldn't help but worry that the wall would collapse and hit the carriage.

After arriving at the backyard of the palace, Princess Yu's main house was slightly better.

Because the main house was funded by the clan's mansion two years ago, it was just repaired to welcome the new princess Yu.

Wang Yu and his original wife, Li, had a good relationship and had a son and a daughter. Unfortunately, the eldest daughter died two years ago.

In theory, the prince’s daughter should be named the princess, not to mention that this daughter was the first granddaughter of the Jiajing emperor. Therefore, the Prince Yu’s courtesy department and the clan’s mansion buried their beloved daughter in accordance with the princess’s etiquette, but the Jiajing emperor refused and said Please seal, there is no case, and Xia Shang also used the full ceremony? No", the final burial was half the ceremony of the princess.

The daughter died young, and the funeral was so shabby. Princess Yu was so sad that she went together. Not long after, the eldest son also died.

The bereavement of sons, daughters, and wives, Wang Yu was heartbroken, and requested that Princess Yu be buried in the manners of her princes. However, Emperor Jiajing did not allow it. Even the princess's "薨" was not used by Princess Yu. Instead, it was changed to an ordinary "An", and the funeral was held hastily. Only five months later, Princess Lu Jing stopped the Chen family on the grounds of reproducing offspring. To King Yu as his successor.

The new Princess Yu will marry in, repair the new house, and welcome the new couple. However, Wang Yu was still immersed in the pain of losing his wife and children, like walking dead, without money, and not in the mood to renovate his new house.

Seeing that the royal family was about to make a fool of himself, Wang Yu was indifferent. The funeral of his wife and daughter was so shabby, and he didn't care about face matters anymore. Anyway, the entire royal family would be ashamed together. The implied meaning was that the clan's mansion paid for the renovation of the main house and barely held the wedding.

The main room has only been renovated for two years, so it can be passed on, but the details can still be seen dilapidated. The gold thread on the flowered and wealthy tapestry curtain is no longer bright. It is half old and not new, and it looks gray.

In a windy, sandy and hazy day, the doors and windows were closed. Princess Yu Chen was sitting on the Luohan’s bed. The room was warmed by red charcoal. Pots of daffodils were placed in the room, but the daffodils had not yet formed buds, just like a garlic seedling. .

Princess Yu wore a home-style jacket and skirt, loosely tied in a round bun, with only one golden step in the bun. Concubine Yu was so kind, she seemed to be soft-tempered at first glance, and she was easy to handle, otherwise Concubine Lu Jing would not have chosen her by "chosen by thousands".

Li Jiubao is full of pearls and greens, charming and seductive, wearing gold and silver, and sitting on the embroidered pier next to the Luohan bed.

What a good wife and concubine.

Wei Caiwei saluted, "The local women visit the princess and empress, and Li chooses the servant." The election servant is the lowest rank in the side room of the royal palace. The nine beautiful ladies sent to the palace of the Yu are all election servants, and they have the ability to raise their status.

However, no matter how low the grade of the waiter is, the status is much higher than that of ordinary people like Wei Caiwei, so Wei Caiwei needs to salute Li Jiubao.

Princess Yu pointed to Xiao Xiaozi next to her, "Dr. Wei, please sit down. I have long heard that Dr. Wei has excellent medical skills. Even the nobles in the palace have indicated that Dr. Wei should be admitted to the palace. Today, I asked Dr. Wei to come to the palace because he wanted to ask the doctor to make a tonic. The prescription to regulate the body."

Concubine Yu has been married to the palace for two years, but her belly has remained silent, saying that she is conditioning her body, but she is actually asking for a child.

Wei Caiwei gave Princess Yu a pulse, looked at her eyes and tongue, and said: "The princess is healthy and youthful, and does not need tonic. It's just that she is a little worried and sleeps restless at night. The local woman prescribes a prescription for the princess to nourish her energy and calm the mind. To help the princess go to sleep."

Princess Yu raised her eyebrows, "Doctor Wei is really a genius doctor, and he can diagnose that I can't sleep well."

Wei Caiwei thought: If I was in your place and had no money in my hands, my husband was a shopkeeper, just keeping my anger with my father, and everything at home would be ignored. I was forced to support this dilapidated home. It would be hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she would still be worried. I can't sleep.

Wei Caiwei prescribed the prescription, and Princess Yu pointed to Li Jiubao, who had been silent and smiled, and said: "Servant Li Xuan is an old friend of Doctor Wei. The doctor went to your yard and talked about it. It's getting late. When it's almost time for dinner, he will leave Doctor Wei for a meal in the house."

Unexpectedly, Princess Yu was so sensible. Wei Caiwei quickly thanked her. She happened to have something to confess to Li Jiubao.

Princess Yu politely said: "You are welcome, the Royal Palace has made me feel wronged by Dr. Wei."

Li Jiubao and Wei Caiwei took the sedan chair and came to the Xikuayuan in the main house, a small courtyard, but it was very quiet.

Wei Caiwei was secretly surprised, because in his previous life, Li Jiubao moved here after giving birth to his first son. He used to live in a courtyard with a dozen or so royal servants, each with only one small room and one servant. Even the young lady from the landlord’s house is more comfortable than them.

In this life, why did Li Jiubao move in ahead of time?

The two entered the house, and Li Jiubao retired from the waiter and talked privately to Wei Caiwei, "It's true that the princess asked Dr. Wei to prescribe a prescription for peace and rejuvenation. Actually, the drunk man's intention is not to drink, but to ask Dr. Wei. ."

Wei Caiwei was taken aback for a moment, "Isn't it because you asked me to borrow money?"

Prince Yu Mansion is known to be poor.

Just one sentence made Li Jiubao amused, "Why? It's not about borrowing money from Doctor Wei, but it is indeed related to money. Wang Yu's family has a big business and a lot of expenses, but it hasn't made any money for several years. This time our nine show girls were When they were sent to the palace, Princess Yu arranged nine rooms and bought a table of wine, but only by secretly pawning a set of gold-inlaid ruby ​​head and face jewellery, she managed to make this happy event."

Wei Caiwei was even more shocked, "Why does Princess Yu even tell you this kind of face-saving thing?"

Li Jiubao said: "It will be the New Year's Eve, and a lot of money is needed for the New Year. Princess Yu is really exhausted. She wants to ask you and me, so she has to wipe her face and tell the truth to me, saying that I am now a member of the Royal Palace, and I must have it. Worrying about the expenses of the palace, I want to work out a solution together to tide over the difficulties."

Wei Caiwei had no choice but to spread his hands, "It is the household department who owes the salary of the Royal Palace Yu, and the palace is in such a desperate situation. But how did my female doctor affect the household department?"

Li Jiubao said: "The princess heard that Dr. Wei had good relationship with the concubine Shang noble in the palace, and also learned that I lived in a house when the noble monk was drafted, and also inquired that Dr. Wei is now living in Mr. Lu's house. Hundreds of households...well, they have a good relationship. They want to entrust Doctor Wei to go through the way of Master Lu and nobles, and ask the Ministry of Household to send down the silver rice that is in arrears."

Li Jiubao pointed to the small courtyard, "I just moved in the day before yesterday. Before, I was squeezed in the same courtyard with the other eight waiters. Sometimes the waiters... In fact, there are houses in the palace, but they are all in disrepair and cannot live in."

"The princess looked at me differently, just wanting to borrow the way of Doctor Wei to find the salary that the household department is in arrears."

Li Jiubao pointed to the headgear and the tapestry gown again, "This is the princess's jewellery clothes, which I lent me to meet customers, and I have to take it back at night. There is also the red charcoal in this room, which the princess saves, and only uses ordinary charcoal on weekdays. It’s only when you see a visitor that you put on the expensive red charcoal to support your face."

"The nine of our servants don’t even burn charcoal basins on weekdays. They only burn the cheapest coal in the kang. They sit on the kang during the day and night to keep warm and make needlework. I took the people in the mansion to do it by myself. Now, more than a month has passed, and we have not paid the monthly money, so we dare not ask the princess."

Wei Caiwei was stunned: I only know that Prince Yu's Mansion is poor, but I don't know how poor the Prince Yu's Mansion is!

Wei Caiwei asked in a low voice: "The princess wants to use you to make money to alleviate her burning eyebrows. How does Wang Yu treat you?"

Li Jiubao lowered his head shyly, "The first Princess Yu has been away for two years. The prince has been obsessed with his wife and moved all the things of the first princess to the study room in front. A concubine has no place to stand, but my color is slightly better than others, and I am a little bit pampered."

Li Jiubao was a bit modest when he said that Wang Yu was still immersed in the grief of bereavement of his wife and child, and did not come out. He seldom favored his concubines, and her concubine in the Palace of the Yu was regarded as a "grand favorite."

Li Jiubao is not optimistic about his situation, "How can Israel serve people for a long time? If you have no children for a few days, I am afraid I will leave it alone."

Wei Caiwei hurriedly comforted her, "You are only sixteen years old. Don't worry. When you have a child at this age, you will suffer hardship and the child will easily become unsustainable. You should take care of your body first. After two years, there will be good news. "

If the child is in poor health and died, it is better not to give birth.

Wei Caiwei checked Li Jiubao's pulse and found that her qi and blood was dissipated, and her body was weak, and asked: "Don't you often have cold pain in your lower abdomen during your menstrual period, and when it is severe, you can't help yourself?"

Li Jiubao nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, especially when the weather is cold, it hurts when I wash vegetables and dishes in cold water. However, most of the girls in Machang Hutong are like this. They are not so delicate and painful. When it is severe, forbearance will pass. No one will look at the doctor for this."

Li Jiubao was born in a humble background, his mother died young, and he took care of all the housework by himself.

Wei Caiwei said: "Your uterus is cold and it is not easy to give birth to a fetus at this time."

Li Jiubao looked pale when he heard it.

Wei Caiwei asked about her menstrual period and learned that this month was about to come, so she hurriedly asked Li Jiubao to lie down and moxibusted her four acupoints, Qihai, Guanyuan, Zhongji and Qichong (Note 1).

After the moxibustion was completed, Wei Caiwei prescribed Polygonum multiflorum pills and asked her to use warm alcohol to dissolve them during each menstrual period. She said, “I will moxibustion for you once or twice every month, five to ten days before your menstrual period. The menstrual period will not be so uncomfortable. The body loss will not be overnight, and it will take time to heal it, so relax."

Treating Li Jiubao’s illness, Wei Caiwei said: “I’ll go back to discuss with my friends about paying back the money to Li Jiubao, and think about ideas. It’s just that I don’t dare to pack a ticket. If this can be done, you will be in the Yuwang Mansion. Life can be better."

Wei Caiwei comforted Li Jiubao, who was under attack. In fact, he was quite pessimistic about it: Yan Shifan is a greedy money bag. It is easy to send money. It is difficult to get money from him, it is difficult to go to the sky!

The author has something to say: Note 1, from the infertility section of Tan Yunxian's "Miscellaneous Words of Female Doctors", and the same is true of Polygonum multiflorum.

Yan Shifan stared at one-eyed: I heard someone asked me for money?

Wei Caiwei: I, the hostess, make money!
