Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Well, let's make it a deal. Mother said that the doctors in Wenfu are not only good at medicine, but also at preparing medicinal materials. Can we let them come and learn? Yao Niang, the female doctor in the clinic, let the manager come over and say that they want to sell some medicine at the same time."

Zhang Xin strikes while the iron is hot.

"Sure, I can write you a prescription. It's fine to check the woman's illness. But selling medicine is a big deal, and it's easy to get ripped off. It's best not to do it."

Zhu Gaochi felt that he had to think about things that Zhang Xin could not think of.

"Ah, this seems to make some sense."

Zhang Xin nodded.

"It's okay to learn, just let them come. There are many women in the palace, and it's better to have someone to treat the disease than no one. I'll just tell Lao Wen. Don't sell medicine in the clinic. If something happens, we won't be able to support you."

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he was afraid that Zhang Xin didn't understand, so he added:

"We can ask for help from other shops. We know what we are doing and everyone knows it. But in this clinic, even palace maids are not allowed to work for the doctors. If someone reports this to the capital, we won't be able to explain to the emperor. We better take it easy."

"Oh well."

Zhang Xin agreed immediately, and without caring about Zhu Gaochi, he happily ran out of the house to find Wanxiu to explain.

Zhu Gaochi was left speechlessly looking at her back which revealed her incomparable joy.

"Why do I feel like I was used and discarded by the Crown Prince's Consort?"

"Well, this, my Lord, I dare not say."

"explain--"

"You're right."

"roll--"

~~~~

Zhu Gaochi felt that Zhang Xin didn't care and she wanted to hurry up and find the female doctor.

Zhao, who was helping Zhang Xin take care of the affairs outside, arrived soon.

"I've met the Crown Princess."

As soon as Zhao entered the room, her eyes were filled with tears, but she did not forget to follow the proper etiquette.

"Get up. Roll up your sleeves. Bring me a cup of almond milk, which Mammy likes."

Zhang Xin also felt a little sad.

"I dare not. Just clean water is fine, Your Highness the Crown Prince's Consort."

"Just call me sister, are you still cheating on me?"

"Sister—I thought I would never see you again."

Zhao, who was helped up by Zhang Xin, finally couldn't hold back her tears.

"Mammy, let's sit down and talk. How are you these days?"

"Good, good, good."

"How's your home? Are you used to it here?"

"Everything is fine, except that the weather is a bit dry, so my legs and feet are more flexible. I see you've grown taller, right?"

"Yes, after Mammy passed away, it grew about an inch in the past six months."

"Fortunately, the Emperor found a husband for my sister. Otherwise, it would be hard for my sister to find a husband."

"Nonsense, what's wrong with being tall? I can still see far—"

Zhang Xin pouted and acted coquettishly.

"Hahaha--"

After a few words, Zhao finally relaxed and looked carefully at Zhang Xin's current appearance.

The sister I raised since childhood has now become the Crown Prince's consort, but she looks the same as before.

Her clothes were casual, and her hair was tied into a bun. Her face was still round, her cheeks were slightly rosy, her eyes were bright and smiling.

It can be seen that he is living a good life.

"Sister is still the same. Very good. Really good. The prince must be very good to sister."

"It's really good that Mammy doesn't blame me."

Zhang Xin was filled with emotion.

"My sister is reluctant to leave me, I know that..."

Zhao's tears began to fall again.

She had nursed Zhang Xin for three years, and their fate was supposed to be over, but the master loved his daughter and kept her in the mansion. She thought she would follow her sister for the rest of her life.

But when the palace chose my sister, she was eager to give herself away.

Her heart was broken.

Later, when she came to Yan, she realized that everything was arranged by the master. She was still helping her sister, and she felt relieved.

Only today, seeing that her sister was fine, did she feel completely at ease.

"I'm not willing to part with it. How can I be willing to part with it? Mammy, you still have to help me manage the people and the money!"

Zhang Xin twisted Zhao's arm and shook it coquettishly.

"Tube!"

Zhao responded with a smile.

Zhang Xin then told Zhao about the female doctor, and Zhao hurriedly patted his chest and promised to send the person there.

The master and servant talked for a long time about what had happened since they last met. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Zhang Xin let Zhao leave the house.

No matter what will happen in the future, at least a wet nurse has been arranged and she seems to be in good condition.

Zhang Xin was very satisfied.

She has lived two lives as a human being. Her biological mother is in Yongcheng and out of reach, so her wet nurse Zhao has always been with her.

He first followed her into the palace, and seeing that she and Zhu Gaochi were not having a pleasant experience together, he often advised her to be more gentle and not be so straightforward.

He also hugged her and comforted her when she was sad.

Later, when her father-in-law ascended the throne, Zhao should have returned home to enjoy her remaining years, but because he was worried about her, he followed her into the palace.

Her mother-in-law passed away soon, and her father-in-law not only asked her to manage the Eastern Palace, but also asked her to manage his entire harem.

Although she is higher in rank than the Crown Princess, in the final analysis, those women are elders who are not really elders and can whisper in the father-in-law's ear.

There are also elderly people left behind by the older generation of imperial grandfathers.

She had been the Crown Princess for twenty years, trembling with fear, and Zhao was just as anxious as she was.

After becoming a member of the palace, Zhao's access to and from the palace was no more relaxed than when she was in the prince's palace, and she could not leave the palace easily.

Originally, Zhao's man had a good relationship with Zhao, but over the years, he could not keep it together and the couple was in name only.

By the time she became the queen, Zhao was no longer able to survive.

It only took a few days from the time he fell ill to the time he died, and in the end the only person who came to collect the body was Zhao's eldest son.

In this life, when she came back, she happened to come back early.

The first thing to consider was how to arrange a wet nurse in advance so that I wouldn’t have to suffer that punishment with her, and it would be best if I couldn’t even enter the palace.

To accommodate a wet nurse, there must be a place.

Since both parents are alive, children cannot have any private property, and the only possibility is to make a fuss about the dowry.

This story is quite complicated.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, a woman's dowry did not belong to her personally, and her husband's family had the right to interfere in its sale and use.

What's more unkind is that as soon as the bride enters the house, all her dowry will be given into the public purse of her husband's family.

If they divorce or abandon each other, they can forget about dowry and children.

This has given rise to a group of families who make money by marrying off wives.

With families like this, ordinary people have their own ways to deal with them.

Rules are rules, but people are alive.

When parents who love their daughter marry her off, they quietly divide the dowry into two parts. Daily necessities and the like are registered as dowry, while land and property and the like are not registered, becoming an anonymous dowry and being managed by the household manager.

This way my daughter doesn't have to ask her husband's family for money every time, and her husband's family won't be able to take over the property.

In case the couple does not get along and something happens in the future, the land and property can become a way out for the married daughter, so that she does not have to return home to face her brother and sister-in-law.

Old Man Zhang originally planned to do this.

But along with the imperial decree to confer the title of Crown Princess came the royal family rules.

The Prince of Yan's Mansion did not require the Zhang family to prepare any dowry for Zhang Xin. All of the capital was covered. The amount of the dowry was given according to the rules and could not be exceeded or overstepped.

This will make it difficult for Old Man Zhang to handle the issue.
