The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

This is a long story, but the flood and plague problems in Macheng have been properly dealt with.

The flood receded and the people rebuilt their homes. The plague did not spread because the medical team led by Sister Yuan and Brother Dayu arrived in time.

An interesting thing happened here. The imperial envoy also brought a team of imperial doctors from Chang'an. When he first arrived, he mistook Brother Dayu's medical team for Brother Xiaopan's accomplices.

They directly suppressed them, not allowing them to participate in the treatment, and even wanted to detain them.

As a result, the doctors brought by Brother Dayu pointed at the noses of the group of imperial doctors and cursed them, and the imperial doctors did not dare to say a word.

Because many of the doctors that Brother Dayu brings with them are retired old doctors, or they are fellow disciples of the old doctors.

This was what Mo Xiujin had instructed in advance, that he must bring a few old doctors who could calm the situation.

In order to prevent the court from holding them accountable later, with the old imperial physician present, it would be impossible for the Imperial Medical Bureau to put the blame on them.

Moreover, the imperial physicians reported to the imperial envoy honestly that the Yangzhou Medical Clinic had a special medicine for curing the plague, which was more effective than the medicine that Princess Ling had given them when she was in Chang'an.

Yu Dayu’s people cannot be imprisoned, otherwise the plague cannot be effectively controlled.

The imperial envoy was shocked at first, but then he was overjoyed. If he could bribe Yu Dayu's people to serve the prince, wouldn't he have a chess piece to deal with Princess Ling?

You should know that Princess Ling has a very high reputation among the people, and a big part of the reason is that she has excellent medical skills, is good at treating plague, and has developed special-effect finished medicines.

As a result, when the imperial envoy expressed his intentions, not only did Yu Dayu think that he had a problem with his brain, but even his own subordinates felt that their superior did such a stupid thing without even checking.

Yu Dayu is Princess Ling's cousin. The clinic in Yangzhou also belongs to Princess Ling. Those old doctors were hired by Princess Ling, and the prescription for the special medicine was given by Princess Ling...

So, what do you think you are buying?

In short, the imperial envoy reported truthfully, saying that Prince Ling's people had interfered too much in the Macheng disaster, acted on their own, overstepped their authority, did not take the imperial envoy of the court seriously, and sought personal gain for Prince Ling.

This big hat was a serious accusation. At that time, Prince Ling was still far away in the northern border, but he was accused by the prince of taking advantage of natural disasters in the Central Plains for personal gain.

The King of Wu took the opportunity to accuse the Prince's men of embezzling disaster relief silver and grain and disregarding the lives of the people.

The Crown Prince and the King of Wu started arguing again in the court. The King of Wu said that he would bring Mo Xiujing to Chang'an as a witness. The Crown Prince said that Mo Xiujing and the King of Wu were in cahoots and had framed his people.

Just when the emperor was about to summon Mo Xiujing to the capital, Mo Xiujing secretly escorted the joint memorial from the Macheng officials to Chang'an.

Now that the evidence is solid, the prince can't say that all the officials in Macheng and nearby counties were bribed by the King of Wu, right?

At the same time, the Supervisory Commission found evidence of corruption by the prince’s men.

The Emperor ordered the Crown Prince to reflect on himself in the Eastern Palace for three months. The King of Wu also knew that this matter would not bring down the Crown Prince.

He took the opportunity to suppress several important ministers of the prince and added his own people to some important positions.

At the same time, he felt that he should give Prince Ling some benefits. After all, it was Prince Ling's men who did the hard labor in Macheng, but he was the one who got the benefits in the end.

So he fully recommended Mo Xiujing to come to Chang'an to be an official. Mo Xiujing rejected his proposal on the grounds that he was afraid of the prince's revenge and that he only had the title of a scholar and was not capable of serving as an official in the capital.

But what the King of Wu didn't know was that all the princeling officials in the Macheng area were involved in this purge, and the new officials were all children of poor families without any party affiliation.

This is the biggest purpose of Mo Xiujin's trip, to prevent Prince Ling's fiefdom, the princess' hometown, and the Guangzhou area from being controlled by the Crown Prince and King Wu.

This is also the countermeasure discussed by Mo Xiujing and Mr. Pang. Let the King of Wu and the Crown Prince fight for the Chang'an area and fight to the death!

And we, quietly, turned local officials into pure ministers.

Ling Moxiao only had one sentence to praise what Brother Xiao Pan did in Macheng: "As expected of Xiu Jin! No matter how complicated the situation is, he can always solve it."

After the matter in Macheng was settled, Mo Xiujing and A Yuan returned to Guangzhou, waiting for Jia Shiba to pick up the people from Yungu in Dianzhou, and then set out together to Youzhou.

But if we calculate the time, it will take at least until next spring.

Brother Xiao Pan has already written a letter to Dong Su in advance, and Zhong Yang and Xiao Hu will come with him.

Zhongyang came to Wanshu Pavilion to study, while Xiaohu already had a position as a low-level military officer, and he wanted to come to Youzhou to join the navy.

When Shen Dongsu received the news, she was naturally overjoyed. The siblings had not seen each other for many years. Zhongyang was studying in Youzhou so he would naturally stay longer, and the two babies could also see their uncle.

In fact, she had thought about bringing her grandfather, Father Shen, and Jiang to Youzhou.

But grandpa has always been unwilling. This is how people are. The older they get, the more they miss their hometown.

And grandpa repeatedly told us that while children are out there seeking a career, they must always have a hometown to return to.

If he also went to Youzhou, his hometown would naturally become deserted. He had to guard his hometown for the children who had left home, so that they could go home when they were tired outside.

Father Shen had intended to come to Youzhou. He really wanted to see the twins, a boy and a girl. Shen Linzhong hadn't married yet, so he couldn't be a grandfather, but it would be nice for him to be a grandfather first.

Secondly, he wanted to take his apprentice to see the Craftsman Academy. Among the craftsmen, the Craftsman Academy was almost deified.

It is more famous than the ones passed down by students in Wanshu Pavilion and Hengqu Four Sentences.

But after seeing Jiang's reaction, he decided not to go.

Because Jiang was bewitched by the rich ladies and wives of officials in Guangzhou City, she thought that if she went to Youzhou and became the mother-in-law of Prince Ling, she would be able to live in a luxurious house and have endless new clothes and jewelry to wear.

There must be at least a hundred or eighty servants, and three meals a day are all delicacies from land and sea...

Just like when Dong Su first arrived in Chang'an, Jiang repeatedly said that she also wanted to go to Chang'an to enjoy life with the princess and her daughter.

Father Shen suppressed his anger and said, "There are often wars in Youzhou, and there is not enough food. Every year, we need Steward Liu to send us food."

"You don't even bother to help your daughter, you're just thinking about enjoying yourself!"

Jiang said angrily, "Shouldn't I enjoy my life? Have I ever had a day of leisure since I married into your family?"

"Before Dong Su had no children, I was afraid that the prince would dislike her. Now that she has given birth to twins, the position of princess is secure. Even if the prince takes a concubine, it will not affect her."

"Why can't I go? I gave birth to her and raised her, so shouldn't I get some benefit from it?"

Father Shen felt that he could not communicate with her, so he decided not to communicate with her and kept her at home. With him and Grandpa Shen around, Jiang could only show off her wealth as a princess mother in the village.

Seeing that Grandpa Shen and Father Shen were not going to Youzhou and did not allow her to go, she quietly went to Zhongyang and said, "Son, you and mother are of the same mind."

"Your grandfather has a stubborn temper. Other grandpas wear silk and jade and are very wealthy. Look at him, carrying a hoe and running to his mud pond every day."

"Does he look a bit like the princess' grandfather?"

"Your father is just as stubborn. He works in the carpentry shop all day long. He is very friendly when talking to his apprentices, but he gets angry when talking to me."

"As for the two of them, I have figured it out. No matter how powerful your sister is or how rich we are, they won't be able to afford to be rich even if you become a high-ranking official."

"I don't want to live in the county town, I don't want to go to Youzhou, I have to be a farmer in Shenjia Village."

"If they want to be the boss, let them be the boss. We will go to Youzhou and live a rich life."

Zhongyang listened to his mother quietly. He used to think that his mother was a country woman with little experience. In her early years, she was with Zhu and Hu Jinhua, so she bullied the weak and feared the strong, was materialistic, and loved to compare with others.

He felt that his mother would change slowly. He didn't ask her to become very wise and righteous, but she just wanted to be half as good as his second aunt.

But now, he understands that although it is easy to change the country, it is difficult to change one's nature, and some people will never change.

Over the years, my mother has been coaxed and flattered by the people around her. Those business people can only say nice things!

Those rich ladies and officials' wives wanted to take advantage of Prince Ling's power and curry favor with her mother in every possible way, which actually gave her the illusion that she was really powerful.

My father has given up on getting my mother to change, and all he can do is keep her in Shenjia Village.

But Zhongyang felt that he should have a good talk with his mother.

He said seriously: "Mom, you have caused so much trouble to the family over the years, and it was Grandpa and Father who helped you to clean up the mess. How can you say this about them?"

Jiang's neck was straight, and her face changed drastically: "When have I ever caused trouble for my family? I have worked hard in the rice noodle workshop and earned so much money for my family!"

Zhong Yang sighed and counted on his fingers: "Two years ago, someone said that his land was taken away by the nobles. He had no place to complain, so he found you, the princess mother."

"Just because I gave you a valuable gift and used eloquent words to make you happy, you actually brought that person directly to Butler Liu."

"If Grandpa hadn't reacted quickly, the news that the steward of Prince Ling's Mansion was bullying would have spread!"

Jiang didn't feel guilty at all: "I was also deceived, I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, later, housekeeper Liu came to my house and told me personally, it's not my fault."

Zhong Yang was speechless. What could Butler Liu say? You are the princess's mother, how could he blame you?

"Last year, someone asked you for help, saying that his son wanted to study medicine and was very smart and hardworking."

"You didn't even discuss it with your family and sent him directly to Yangzhou. He relied on your recommendation and didn't take Brother Dayu's words seriously in Yangzhou, causing a lot of trouble for Brother Dayu."

"Brother Dayu sent the person back, and you still blame him for not giving you face."

Jiang still felt that she was not wrong: "He, Da Yu, only became a medical officer because of your brother-in-law, Prince Ling. Isn't it his duty to help his neighbors?"

"That child's mother and I are old acquaintances. If someone comes to my doorstep to ask for help, how can I not help a young man?"

Seeing that Jiang had no regrets, Zhongyang couldn't help but speak anxiously:

"Usually the villagers come to your house to curry your favor and praise you for how generous and blessed you are, and you give away things from your home for free."

"Even the little toys that your father made for Dabao and Xiaobao, when other children came to play with them, you gave them away without a care."

"Father just said something, and you blame him for being stingy."

"How many times have I told you not to let anyone in my study? Don't let anyone in. I have all my books. What's the result?"

"Whenever someone comes to your door and flatters you by saying that their child wants to read, you should give them my old books."

"What are you talking about? If I want a new book, I can go get it from Butler Liu. The palace has plenty of books."

"You are generous to outsiders, but you are petty with your family. Xiaohu and Xiaoman have been in our family for many years, and you still give them a bad look."

"Did Xiaoman spend your money on food and clothing? Grandpa is the one who supports her. What does it have to do with you?"

"When my sister was at home before, you didn't take me seriously. You would scold me if I ate one more bite of rice. How can you have the nerve to ask me to repay you for your kindness in raising me?"

"I beg your mother, please stop causing trouble for the family and my sister! Do you think she is comfortable being a princess?"

"Do you think outsiders really think you are so great and glorious? Who knows how they might laugh at you behind your back!"

"You take the words of those who are kind enough to tell you the truth as a curse. You take the words of those who are trying to trick you into giving you a benefit as sincerity."

"You used to always say how the Zhu and Hu families bullied you, but look at you now, how much worse are you than the Zhu family when it comes to bullying your own family?"

Jiang was furious at what he said, but Grandpa Shen would not say such things because he would not argue with her.

Shen's father did say it several times, but Jiang didn't take it to heart at all and even thought that Shen's father did it on purpose.

Because she was popular in the village, and although he was the princess's father, he didn't even go to the county magistrate's banquet because he couldn't stand her being more successful than him.

Being told so bluntly by her beloved youngest son, Jiang felt distressed and wronged. She pointed at Zhongyang and cursed, "You have no conscience!"

"Was it your father who instigated it? Why is my life so miserable? I lived with him in the cowshed, and I didn't despise him even though he had a broken leg. Now that my children are grown up, they think I'm useless and instigate my children to scold me!"

Zhongyang said calmly: "If you cry louder, I will spread the word that I scolded you, and the court will accuse me of being unfilial and not allow me to take the imperial examination."

In an instant, Jiang didn't dare to cry anymore, but she still slapped her thigh and cried quietly, complaining that no one in her family was on the same page with her.

Father Shen, who had been listening outside the room, felt that if she continued to make trouble like this, this family would really be unable to survive with her in disarray.

He rushed in directly, pulled Zhongyang over, pointed at Jiang and said, "My son is telling you the truth, but you won't listen."

"You said I instigated it. Fine, then I instigated it. Let's be clear today. What do you want?"

"If you want to divorce, let's divorce and never see each other again! If you want to die, let's die together. This will leave a clear name for our children and prevent you from doing stupid things and ruining their future."

This was the first time that Shen's father got so angry with Jiang. Over the years, Shen's father knew that Jiang had had a hard time, so he was more indulgent towards her.

But now it seems that if we continue to indulge her, and if she is instigated by others, she might commit some serious crime.

Jiang was stunned. Divorce! How dare you tell me about divorce?

Crying and making a fuss were useless, so Jiang directly launched the third move, banging his head against the wall, and then lying on the ground pretending to be dead:

"I won't live any longer. This family can't accommodate me."

Father Shen looked ashen, could she not feel it? What was the difference between her current behavior and that of Zhu and Hu?

In the end, it was the second aunt who was invited by Grandpa Shen and frightened Jiang.

The second aunt told Zhongyang to pack everything and go to Youzhou with Xiaopan and Ayuan.

She had nothing to do at home recently, so she moved to the Shen family to accompany her third and fourth sisters.

It was impossible to explain soft words to Jiang, and my second aunt had to scold her to wake her up.

Of course, the Shen family would not tell Dong Su about these things, and it was even less likely that Butler Liu would mention them.

I can only sigh and wonder how a woman like Jiang could give birth to three such outstanding children?

Shen Dongsu only received a letter from home saying that Zhongyang would come, and that Grandpa and the others would not come. Although she felt a little sorry, she could not force Grandpa to come.

Since Grandpa doesn't want to come, let's wait until she brings Dabao and Xiaobao back to her hometown and then meet again!
