The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 237 Looking for a doctor (two more)

After the banquet, the Crown Princess also returned to the East Palace.

The prince looked a little gloomy.

"Your Highness." The Crown Princess stepped forward, "What are you thinking?"

The prince sighed: "The third child has been in the limelight recently."

In fact, it's not that the third child has a lot of limelight, it's that he has less limelight. King Rui himself is not afraid, he has no big ambitions, and only follows King Ning wholeheartedly.

But the old Sanyue is favored, and will even bring King Ning to gain more attention from the emperor.

Originally the eldest son, unlike the other princes.

The Emperor Xia Jiangnan took King Ning and left him to supervise the country in the court. It seems that he made a profit, but along the way, the father is kind and filial to the son. Who can say that the emperor's heart will not be more inclined to this eldest son?

The Crown Princess looked at him reverently: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the envoy of Liang Guo is here, this is a good opportunity for His Highness to shine in front of the Father, His Highness will definitely win the Father's favor more than anyone else, and I will help His Highness. ."

But she said that Princess Rui planned to go to Gu Jiao's place after she left the palace, but it was so late that she thought that Gu Jiao should have gone back, so she decided to go to her again during the day.

Gu Jiao didn't know what happened, but she was definitely not in the hospital anymore. She was standing under the locust tree at the gate of the Guozijian, quietly waiting for Xiao Liulang to finish school.

Evening classes are mainly for the master to answer questions and solve doubts. Students study by themselves. If there is a problem, they will go to the podium to ask the master. If there is no problem, they will solve the problem by themselves.

The evening class is over now, and students are coming out of the Imperial College one after another.

Many people are no strangers to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao is not shy about her appearance, and often sends Xiaojingkong and Xiao Liulang to school, while Xiaojingkong and Xiao Liulang are even less shy about her appearance, and they generously let people know that she is their sister and wife.

At first, when everyone saw Gu Jiao, they were just curious about her appearance, and occasionally glanced at her, but they would not take the initiative to say hello to her.

However, as Xiao Liulang rose to fame in Guozijian, more and more people bowed to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao clearly felt that her status had changed.

This kind of change was not brought about by treating people by himself. It was Xiao Liulang who became famous in his studies, and the high-ranking sons and daughters of the Imperial College were willing to look directly at her, a small peasant woman from the countryside.

Don't look at it as a simple greeting, but it crosses the class.

How many people can't break down the class barriers above their heads in their entire lives?

So in ancient times, reading is indeed the easiest way to change a person's destiny.

It's not that farming and business are bad.

But the real carp leaping over the Dragon Gate has to rely on studying.

"Xixingtang has already dismissed, but several supervisors are asking Xiao Huiyuan for advice. You may have to wait a little longer." Seeing that Gu Jiao had been waiting for a long time, a supervisor said kindly to Gu Jiao, "Why don't I inform him? Xiao Huiyuan?"

Gu Jiao said politely, "Thank you, I'm not in a hurry."

"Then, I'll go first!" The supervisor left after saying that.

Gu Jiao continued to wait for Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang didn't know that Gu Jiao was waiting for him outside. He was explaining to a few supervisors the key points that he didn't understand in today's class. Are there any supervisors from Fangxingtang who came to listen to him.

The progress of each grade is different, but they can understand what Xiao Liulang said. The seniors won't think it's too simple, and the lower grades won't think it's too advanced, and they can all gain something.

Xiao Liulang was not so powerful from the beginning.

He wanted to tutor elementary school bullies like Xiao Jingkong, who knew everything, as well as elementary school scumbags like Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun who didn't understand anything. A powerful skill for simplification of topics.

The palace exam is approaching, not to mention whether the big guy has enough time. All the people who take part in the palace exam are opponents. At this juncture, no one is willing to help classmates improve their grades.

At first, Xiao Liulang only taught Lin Chengye and Feng Lin. Occasionally, their classmates asked Xiao Liulang questions. Xiao Liulang answered patiently. The old students will come to ask him for advice.

Xiao Liulang has the advantage of not being selfish in his lectures, never worrying about feeding his apprentice and starving his master to death.

He has no air yet.

Of course, people are also good-looking, pleasing to the eye, and the voice is good.

In short, more and more people came to listen to Xiao Liulang's lectures.

There are fewer and fewer people who think that he got to where he is today because of his luck. His knowledge, personality and character are all very admirable.

Of course, he doesn't take care of everyone.

There were students from women's school who came here to ask for advice, but he slapped his face in a dignified manner. Not a few cried angrily on the spot, and vowed never to come to him again.

"Hmph, what's so embarrassing about a poor boy in the countryside? I look up to you to ask for advice! I really treat myself as a sweet pastry!"

"That's right! Prince An is not as proud as you are!"

Prince An has appeared in the medical center a lot of times recently, and he has been met several times by the daughters of women's schools. When someone asks him for teaching, he will try his best to answer what he can answer, and if he can't answer, he will politely say sorry for the inconvenience. .

The two ranked first in Chunwei, and they were inevitably compared by the world.

"Look, this is what a noble son of an aristocratic family should have!"

Xiao Liulang's reputation in the capital has become polarized. The supervisors of the Guozijian think he is approachable and does not hide his secrets, while the students of the women's school scolded him as a little lame who has never seen the world and has a few grades.

"I'm here today, it's time for me to go home, everyone should go back and rest." Xiao Liulang finished another important point and closed the book.

Everyone knows that there is a little lady in his family, and he is afraid that the little lady will be in a hurry.

Everyone is not too selfish and uninteresting. Xiao Liulang is willing to take the time to give them a topic. It is very good for them. There is no reason to drag Xiao Liulang here all the time.

"Brother Xiao, thank you."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao."

Everyone thanked him.

He is the youngest, and he is called a brother.

Xiao Liulang nodded and took his crutches out of the Imperial College.

He saw Gu Jiao at a glance, his eyes moved, and he stepped forward and said, "Why did you come here? Have you waited for a long time?"

"No, just arrived." Gu Jiao shook her head.

Xiao Liulang looked at the small dirt pits on the ground that she stepped on, and pretended to believe it.

He took her small backpack and put it on his back.

If this was in a previous life, maybe he was helping his girlfriend with a backpack, right? Not at all worried about anyone laughing at him.

Gu Jiao was quite happy to think about it.

"Give."

Xiao Liulang suddenly handed over something wrapped in kraft paper.

"What?" Gu Jiao took it, opened the layers of kraft paper, and found a piece of jerky wrapped in syrup.

Gu Jiao looked at him blankly.

"For you." Xiao Liulang looked straight ahead without squinting, "Don't you like to eat?"

The jerky was given by a supervisor of Suixingtang. This kind of jerky wrapped in syrup is their family's exclusive secret recipe. There are two kinds of real meat and vegetarian meat. If they don't do business, they are eaten by a few children in the family.

A few days ago, Xiao Liulang gave him a lecture. To express his gratitude, he gave Xiao Liulang two pieces of jerky and one piece of real meat.

Xiao Liulang took it back and gave it to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao gave it to her aunt and three younger brothers, and she only tasted a small sip of the syrup and minced meat stuck to the kraft paper.

Um, why is it so delicious?

Gu Jiao, who was not very interested in eating, was amazed by the taste.

But Gu Jiao didn't say it, he didn't expect him to find out.

"Where did you buy it?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Given by my classmate," he said.

In fact, he asked his classmates for it.

This kind of meat is not easy to make. I asked for it last time, and I only made it today.

Dignified Xiao Huiyuan actually covets appetite and asks his classmates for meat, and he is really not afraid of making jokes.

It was given by someone else, so Gu Jiao was reluctant to eat it.

Xiao Liulang knew that this would be the case, and said to her: "I left it for them, this share is yours."

Gu Jiao glanced at him, suddenly pinched the kraft paper with both hands, broke the jerky into two pieces, and handed the bigger piece to him: "You can eat it too."

Xiao Liulang did not refuse, and took the jerky with the kraft paper.

Gu Jiao began to enjoy her own food.

The jerky itself is spicy, but the syrup on the outside is very sweet and greasy. It should not be ordinary sugar, but more like honey, so it has a slightly sour taste.

It was so delicious.

Gu Jiao held the jerky and ate it bit by bit, like a little squirrel foraging.

Xiao Liulang walked beside her and looked at her, until she finished eating, smashing her mouth, and then handed her the half jerky that hadn't moved at all.

As if afraid of her rejection, he said, "I can't eat it, you eat it."

"Oh." Gu Jiao didn't say anything, she took the piece of jerky from him, but before eating, she broke off a small piece and fed it into his mouth.

Although Liang Guo's envoys have entered the capital, they have nothing to do with ordinary people at the bottom, so everyone should do whatever they want.

Xiao Jingkong got up early in the morning to practice the exercises. Gu Jiao didn't have to make breakfast today, and the house mammy did it. Gu Jiao practiced the basic skills with Xiao Jingkong for a while.

When wiping the little guy's sweat, Gu Jiao expressed her doubts: "Why do you always practice these?"

Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and said, "I only know these things!"

Gu Jiao: "...!!"

Oops, just focusing on the children's learning, forgetting that martial arts also has to be progressive.

The first few years of the temple should focus on teaching the basic skills. After the basic skills are solid, some boxing methods and martial arts routines will be gradually taught.

Xiao Jingkong went down the mountain early, before he had time to learn martial arts.

Gu Jiao knows Tai Chi and Wu Qin Xi, but she is not good at it. In her previous life, her organizational mechanics were all about killing people and stealing goods, so it is not appropriate to teach them to children.

It looks like I need to hire a martial arts teacher for the little guy.

The first thing Gu Jiao thought of was Gu Chengfeng. Recently, he had been oppressed a lot, so it was easier to think of him.

But that guy is a thief, in case he was not careful and let him teach Xiaojingkong to be a thief——

Gu Jiao's mind flashed the image of Xiao Jingkong wearing a mask to be a ninja thief, and she shook her head decisively!

Gu Jiao thought of Gu Changqing again. Gu Changqing is not bad, but he is too busy. He is in the military camp all the year round, and it is difficult to see him on weekdays.

Gu Jiao kept this matter in her heart.

After breakfast, Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong went to Guozijian to go to school, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun went to Qinghe Academy to go to school, and Gu Jiao went to the medical center.

Not long after she arrived at the hospital, Princess Rui came.

She was holding the piano case in her hand.

In fact, after playing it yesterday, she knew that this violin was very valuable. The reason why she didn't show it in public was because she didn't want to be too noticeable.

The two came to Gu Jiao's yard.

Princess Rui said about the wrong piano: "My little eunuch is ineffective, sorry."

Gu Jiao already understood what was going on, she shook her head: "It's my negligence."

Xiao Jiangli is a child after all, she should check the piano case.

Princess Rui held Gu Jiao's hand: "Then I should really thank you for your negligence! If it wasn't for your qin yesterday, I would have given you a match!"

Princess Rui is also competitive, especially in terms of rhythm, she is not willing to be a match for others.

"Wen Linlang must have known this, so she didn't tell me in advance that I was going to play in an ensemble! And Musician Xie, why did you suddenly get hurt? I think she didn't let Musician Xie play!"

She had already inquired, and Xie Leshi was not injured.

"Humph! She just wants to sacrifice me to please those Liang Kingdom envoys!"

After Prince Rui returned to the mansion last night, he had already comforted Princess Rui, saying that from the perspective of diplomatic means, the Crown Princess did not make a mistake in this move, but only wronged Princess Rui.

For the sake of friendship between the two countries, the princess can marry and marry far away. As a royal princess, it seems that it is nothing to sacrifice for the overall situation.

In the end, the Crown Princess is a politician, but Princess Rui is not, and the two have conflicting ideas.

Princess Rui was so angry that even his man spoke for that woman!

"Why doesn't anyone think she did something wrong? Shouldn't you say hello to me first? Don't you think that doesn't respect me enough?"

Princess Rui's concept was very advanced in ancient times, and she awakened a part of the consciousness of feminism.

"Then, are you playing well?" Gu Jiao asked.

Princess Rui raised her chin and said proudly, "Of course!"

In the mansion, she was still very reserved and did not dare to be too public. Here in Gu Jiao, she was very relaxed, and all the little excitement and complacency that had been suppressed all night were all expressed.

"You didn't see their eyes were straight!"

"Prince Yu even applauded for me!"

"That's nothing but the direct disciple of Lord Moon Shadow!"

Look, look, this little tail is up in the sky.

Fang Cai's depression has all disappeared.

However, Princess Rui was stumbling back and forth, not forgetting the good Lai: "Actually, thanks to your piano, with my own piano skills, it is very difficult to take advantage of that piece of music."

Gu Jiao was not too surprised.

After seeing Xiao Jingkong's golden abacus and house deed, Gu Jiao didn't treat this broken piano as an ordinary broken piano for a long time.

"That musician from Liang Guo actually wanted to pay for your qin, but I refused." Princess Rui said and looked at her.

"Yeah." Gu Jiao nodded in agreement, "Qin was given to me by Xiao Jingkong, I won't sell it."

Princess Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was right in rejecting Wuming yesterday.

Her eyes fell on the guqin: "By the way, what kind of qin is this? It has Fuxi engraved on it, isn't it really the Fuxi qin?"

Princess Rui thought Gu Jiao would deny it, but Gu Jiao thought about it, snorted, and said seriously, "Maybe."

Princess Rui: "..."

The hospital's business was not busy in the morning, Princess Rui sat in Gu Jiao's yard for half an hour and chatted with her for a while.

Regarding the envoy, Princess Rui only said this. After all, she is not a politician, and she has no ambitions, so she is not too concerned about the visit of the envoy.

On the contrary, because Princess Rui and Yao Shi were both pregnant, Gu Jiao was also interested in this topic, and the two talked about pregnancy and the baby.

After that, the hospital became busy, and Princess Rui also returned to the house.

On the other side, in the royal garden, a splendid courtyard, there was a low cough from time to time.

The servants guarding the door all looked solemn and did not dare to come out.

Inside the house, Princess Yu hugged her son, who was blushing from coughing, and asked anxiously, "When will the lord come back?"

The accompanying servant said: "If you go back to the empress, the prince and the ministers of Zhao Kingdom have had a lot of quarrel, and the servants can't see the prince at all!"

The negotiation between the two sides is like this.

Princess Yu didn't care what they quarreled about, she only worried about her son's condition.

The son has been coughing for ten days, and the imperial doctor they brought has been taking medicine, but apparently he can't cure her son's disease.

The servant hesitated for a moment and asked, "How about... the servant will go to the palace to see Empress Xiao and ask her to send a doctor from Zhao Kingdom over here?"

Princess Yu thought for a while: "Hold on, don't enter the palace yet."

At an important moment in the negotiation between the two parties, she did not feel relieved to hand over her son's life to the other party.

Although the royal family of Zhao Kingdom would definitely not harm her son, if someone wanted to use the hands of the royal family of Zhao Kingdom to make trouble, her son would be in danger.

Furthermore, even if no one disturbed, Zhao Guo raised the price by treating her son's illness, which was not conducive to Liang Guo's negotiation.

After all, after being a princess for so many years, her mind is always more than ordinary people.

Princess Yu instructed: "Go and find out, which are some of the more famous medical centers in the capital? Be careful not to let anyone find out."

"Yes!"

The servant changed into the clothes of an ordinary servant, and avoided the eyes and eyes of others and left the garden.

An hour later, he came back: "Princess, the servant has inquired about it. There are three largest medical centers in the capital—Lingzhi Hall, Tongde Hall, and Huichun Hall. There is also a Miaoshou Hall. It is said that the medical skills are also good."

Princess Yu asked, "Which is the nearest hospital?"

The servant said, "Miaoshoutang."
