My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 3 Pei Jialang asked for medicine from the emperor

Following the words of his cousin-in-law Xiang, Jiang Shiyuan poked his head out to take a look. The private room they were in happened to be facing the royal stand, so they had a panoramic view of everything.

I saw Pei Zisu walking up to the stand with high steps, surrounded by everyone.

Jiang Shiyuan was far away from him, and he couldn't see the specific features of his face, but he had the scorching feeling of the scorching sun shining in the sky, and he was actually facing the young general in Jiang Shiyuan's memory.

The Pei family is extremely powerful, and this young general Pei is also very talented.

At the age of fifteen, he won seven out of seven battles, defeated the rebels in the south, and recovered nine cities including Fancheng. Therefore, not only in Hanzhou, but also in the entire Sui Dynasty, he was a prestigious presence.

Everyone knew that he was another rising general in the Great Sui Dynasty, but no one knew that he would have a short life and die in the summer before he was twenty.

Jiang Shiyuan still remembers the scene where the Dasui royal family wore plain clothes and all civil and military officials observed mourning for three days. The people all mourned in memory of this jealous General Pei. It can be said that there is no one before or since. !

Before I could sigh in my heart, I saw him kneeling on one knee in front of the emperor, and then said something loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have the audacity to ask you for the four-flavored rootless water."

When he opened his mouth, everyone present was astonished. With such a good opportunity, it was possible for him to seek a good career or a happy marriage, so why did he choose to be so troublesome and rootless?

"Rootless water? What is it?"

Cousin-in-law Xiang also looked strange, but Jiang Shiyuan next to her made a faint mention.

"Rain, dew, frost, snow."

"What does my cousin Pei's cousin need for this?"

"It's probably going to be used as a medicine."

Jiang Shiyuan has been ill for many years, and it is not a serious illness that is fatal. However, he is not getting better, and his life has been extended to this day, all because of taking Ningxiang Pills.

There are four kinds of rootless water in the medicine primer of Ningxiang Pill.

It is not difficult to collect them, but it is not easy to say that they are simple. In the end, it takes years and years of meticulousness to preserve them. Therefore, she is also thinking that there may be people around this little general Pei who are sick. Already?

In the stands, the old emperor looked tired.

His body was not very comfortable, and he had been holding on for a long time today. He had not felt excited just now, but now that he had stopped, he felt a little exhausted.

Especially looking at the lively Pei Zisu in front of him, he suddenly felt that he was getting old.

He couldn't help but think of the report of the Pei family's army returning victorious a few days ago. He thought that Pei Zifeng was going to ask for some wealth for the Pei family, but he didn't expect it to be rootless water. The tension in his heart relaxed slightly. Song, then smiled lightly and asked the father-in-law who was waiting next to him.

"Rootless water? Dezhong, is the Royal Pharmacy prepared?"

The father-in-law's temples were frosty, but his face was smooth. He was wearing a dark green silk suit that was tightly pressed on his body. He wore thick-soled black boots. He spoke in a thin voice and quickly stepped forward and bowed to answer.

"Your Majesty, there is some, but Princess Qinghuan took some away a few days ago, so there is not much left."

"Oh? Qing Huan took some away, is that girl going to do something weird again?"

"This servant doesn't know much about it."

Speaking of Princess Qinghuan, she is the youngest daughter of the old emperor. The old woman naturally loved her, and the year she was born, Da Sui won several battles one after another, and all the tribes in the north surrendered. Everyone said that she was a lucky star from heaven, so she became the most favored princess in the dynasty. , the people often discussed in private that if she were a man, the throne would fall into her hands.

"Since you have it, then give it all to your beloved."

"Yes, I take the order."

Seeing this, the corner of Pei Zisu's lips became a little more calm. His eyes were filled with respect, and he looked at the old emperor from bottom to top. The absolute surrender shown by such a brave and good warrior made the old emperor. Very satisfied for a while.

"Okay, next one."

Pei Zisu was not the only winner of the dragon boat race, so he stepped forward one after another. What he asked for was almost the same as what the old emperor wanted, so he agreed to most of them with a smile. His second cousin Wang Kuan and his third cousin were still waiting in line. Brother Wang Hong asked with a smile when he saw Pei Zisu walking down.

"I thought you were working so hard to get married, but you actually asked for some useless things. After all, what are you going to do with them?"

Pei Zifeng looked at the two of them with a smile and did not say anything, but his tall figure and unparalleled handsome appearance made many women around him peek over shyly, looking at the aristocratic young man between his eyebrows. Feeling, second cousin Wang Kuan couldn't help but sigh.

"It's better for you to go back to Hanzhou. If you stay in Xijing City, you will bring disaster to many people. Look at those noble ladies. Normally, they are the elder brother of the Wang family and the younger brother of the Wang family. Now, except for you, who else can I see? Did you see other sons?"

Third cousin Wang Hong patted him on the shoulder and smiled heartily.

"Second brother, what you said makes no sense. If you can't handle it yourself, why are you blaming cousin Zisu?"

"You brat, how come you've been living in Hanzhou for a few years and your elbows turned outwards? What's the matter? Your surname is not Wang but you have to change your surname to Pei?"

The two brothers were teasing each other, but they didn't notice that Pei Zizhen looked around and his expression became much more indifferent after he didn't see the person he was looking for in the crowd.

"I'm dying from the sun, go back."

These words coming out of his mouth were really shocking.

After all, it was him who was training soldiers in Hanzhou every day, and it was he who was exposed to the sun with his bare arms. At that time, he was so angry that he wished he could shed three layers of skin during training. Now, at this point, the sun is shouting "It's too hot to die from the sun", you can tell there's something fishy about it as soon as you hear it.

Unfortunately, before the two Wang brothers had time to ask further questions, Pei Zisu strode away. Wherever he went, there were low voices of exclamation from the crowd, but unfortunately none of them fell on his ears.

The excitement in the stands continued, and Jiang Shiyuan in the private room took another pill.

The sweet and sour taste melted in my mouth, and I felt a little better. Just when I was about to take another one, I was startled when a wind-like woman at the door knocked into the door.

"Aunt, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Jiang Shiyuan's aunt, now the head wife of Wenyuanhou Mansion, and also the head mother-in-law of her cousin-in-law Xiang.

Over forty years old, but well maintained.

Wearing a long skirt embroidered with folded branches and flowers in a vase, the hem is made of plain tulle, and the upper is inlaid with pearls and complicated fish scale patterns, which is really beautiful.

If she didn't mention her age, I'm afraid outsiders would think she was a lady in her early thirties. In fact, she has four sons. Except for the youngest, the other three are all in their late teens.

"Mother-in-law is fine."
