After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

As for why he couldn't marry Pei Lingshu, Su Che stared and hugged the pillow and thought about it all night in despondency.

Because she was the apprentice he personally selected, and he taught her medical skills because he cherished and loved her talents, and he couldn't bear to bury such a caring and gifted child.

When Pei Lingshu was selected to enter the palace, in order to avoid suspicion, he even grew his beard and deliberately made an old-fashioned look.

What he originally thought was that he could guard her by her side like a father, like an elder brother, teach her medical skills, and help her become a talent. He never thought that one day he would have a heart of love with her.

But during the day, Pei Lingshu rushed up to fight his aunt desperately, his posture really resembled his good brother Han Mochu fighting for the little emperor without hesitation.

Before today's parting, he pushed Pei Lingshu, who was pestering him all the time, all the way away, and scolded: "Things that violate human relations! If you really hate marrying like this, then quickly find someone to marry! Don't pester me again! You don’t have to recognize me as your master anymore!”

After saying this, he turned around and ran quickly, without waiting for Pei Lingshu to react, and without looking at her expression.

He didn't know how far he had run, but when he stopped to catch his breath, he turned around and saw that Pei Lingshu did not catch up again.

She didn't catch up, and he was even more upset.

The next day, Su Changru, the genius doctor who hadn't shown up for a long time, put on his court uniform of a fourth-rank internal official and came to the Imperial Palace Hospital.

The doctors on duty that day saw him, they were surprised at first, and then greeted him with smiles all over their faces: "Master Su, why are you here when you are free?"

"Lord Su, long time no see. How is the medicine growing these days?"

"Morning Su, why are you entering the palace today? But your majesty and Mrs. Han have an invitation?"

Su Che nodded vaguely to them and waved his hands again, but his attention was never on them.

"Master Su? Master Su, did you come to find someone today?" There is still a smart man among the imperial physicians: "You should seek Master Pei? He is not here today. I heard that he sent the notice of leave to the Department of Internal Affairs last night. went."

"Huh, huh?" Su Che came back to his senses, grabbed the smart imperial physician and asked, "Are you sick? What's wrong? Are you taking a few days off?"

"I heard that it is a disease of lung heat, and the wind and cold are invading the body, so I can't come. Your Majesty has always treated us leniently, so he allowed Imperial Physician Pei to come back to duty after he recovers."

Su Che has practiced medicine for many years, and he knows that lung heat and cough are the most difficult to eradicate and heal, and it's best to pretend, as long as he drinks less water for two days, he won't be able to detect it even if he checks the pulse.Pei Lingshu used this illness as an excuse, making it clear that he didn't want to enter the palace, and he made it clear that he wanted to avoid him on purpose.

According to Su Che's thoughts, wouldn't it be the best result for her to avoid him actively?Isn't she taking the initiative to avoid him is what he wants?She gave up, shouldn't he be at ease?Why is there a kind of resentment instead?

Su Che couldn't figure it out, maybe what Han Mochu said was right, he was indeed sick, and he was still seriously ill.

After getting the answer, he returned to his medicine hut in a daze along the way, squatting beside the green medicine field, watching the little apprentices shuttling through the medicine field for a long time.

Suddenly I feel sad and depressed like a jug of strong wine, and I want to get drunk for no reason.

He gritted his teeth and called two young apprentices who were quick to move, and ordered them to dig out the medicinal wine that he had buried for five years, and then sent two young apprentices who were fast on their feet, to the palace to invite Taifu Han to come and share with him. drink.

In the afternoon when the sun was about to set, Han Mochu rode a carriage, brought two altars of fine wine from the palace, and a few side dishes to the medicine house of the genius doctor Su.The two of them didn't set up a table, but put the food and wine on the ridge of the field, watching the sunset against the wind, talking while drinking.

When they were teenagers, they often sat on the ground in the yard and secretly drank Mr. Yi Wei’s stored wine. At that time, they didn’t hold too much alcohol. They slept in the yard when they got drunk, and when they woke up the next day, their faces were painted by Mr. Yi Kai. .

Ever since Han Mo first entered the palace, they almost never drank against the wind like this again.

"Zi Ran, you can talk about marriage with me, anyone you want, even a court lady, I want to get married as soon as possible." Su Che's face was reddened by strong alcohol.

"I won't help." Han Mochu refused quite simply.

"Why! Are you still my good brother! It's fine if you don't give it to me! Why don't you help me with the marriage?" At this time, Su Che was a little drunk, and he seemed to be abstaining from drinking and throwing up .

"Su Changru, Su Changru, I have never seen a man who is more hypocritical than you." Han Mochu has a good capacity for alcohol and good wine quality, even though he is half drunk now, he still has a clear mind: "Other people take chances." It’s in your hand, who can you blame for throwing it out?”

"Who are you calling hypocritical! Who are you calling hypocritical!" Su Che gulped down the wine glass in his hand, then grabbed a large handful of salt and pepper nuts and put them in his mouth, chewing: "Master and apprentice are like Father and daughter, I can't marry my own daughter, can I? This is against the laws of heaven and human relations."

"According to what you say, I should also be His Majesty's father?" Han Mochu propped his forehead disapprovingly, watching the sunset on the edge of the field: "I not only followed him, but also raised a son with him. Is it against the law of heaven and the heinous crime?"

"You are different from me!" Su Che scratched his hair angrily: "You are! You are! In short, we are different! Different!"

"What's the difference? It's just that I and Your Majesty are both men? There is no need to taboo those people's morals between men?"

"I teach her, not because I want to marry her, I teach her because I want to teach her." Su Che's gaze was erratic, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"I didn't teach His Majesty for today. When I entered the palace, I just wanted to be a pure minister, to avenge him, and to avenge myself. It's as simple as that."

"Then what happened later? What did you think later?"

"What do you think?" Han Mochu smiled and asked knowingly.

"Of course, why do you think...don't be this pure minister again? Did that kind of thing with him again? And helped him raise a child."

"Because I'm tempted by His Majesty. He understands me, knows me, believes in me, and knows how to fulfill me. I'm not as hypocritical as you. Now that I know that I'm tempted, then I must firmly hold on to other people. Let go." Han Mochu squinted his eyes and looked at the setting sun in the sky, recalling the past of life and death between him and Gu Xiu over the years.

In the eyes of others, he and Gu Xiu are a natural couple.

After so many years of life and death, passing through one after another, Gu Xiu, as a king, fell in love with him, and even did not hesitate to never marry him, and raised his heir together with him, and brought their relationship between monarch and minister to almost equal.

Those who know the inside story of this matter think that Gu Xiucai is the seed of infatuation.

In fact, did Gu Xiu fall in love with him first?Actually not necessarily.

That year, Concubine Li and the Jin family were going to choose a concubine with Gu Xiu, so many sighs arose out of thin air in his heart.Sighing that the boy he raised with his own hands will live by others from now on.

Afterwards, none of those ladies looked down on Gu Xiu's character, so he secretly rejoiced again.

Sure enough, only he can stay with this young man and feel his joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

Ever since he and Gu Xiu clapped their oaths and stood guard by his side, he never thought of parting from him.

"Grab it firmly, don't let go." Su Che's belch interrupted Han Mochu's train of thought, and he muttered something like a cart wheel: "I grabbed her hand that day, but I pushed her away again." Open. In fact, I have her in my heart, I have her, but I am afraid of those gossips, and I am afraid that she will not be able to be the military doctor she wants to be because of this."

"Su Changru, do you think it's interesting to say these few words over and over again today? If you really don't have any thoughts for others, why are you so shy? Are you afraid that you won't be able to control yourself? Now it seems that others treat you There is also affection, if you have time to be afraid of these things, you might as well think of a way to make things clear to the person earlier. You are old and poor and can't get a wife, but people can marry anyone they want." Han Mochu first Shrugging his shoulders indifferently: "In two days, people's sedan chairs will come to the door, do you really have the heart to take your 300 taels of gold and give it to others?"

***

Han Mochu's words were like a bucket of cold water that refreshed people in the winter, directly pouring out Su Che's mind.

After he got drunk, he was embarrassed in the medicine hut for three days. After he completely sobered up on the fourth day, he found out a silk and satin gown from the bottom of the box. The ebony hairpin on his head that had been used for 20 years was also replaced today I bought a silver one, and I picked up a fan from nowhere and put it on my waist.

Although Su Che didn't have Han Mochu's astonishingly beautiful appearance, and he didn't usually trim his sides too much, but after a little tidying up, he looked very neat and energetic.

After tidying up, he put the 300 taels of gold, which symbolized his wealth and life, on his back with a big red furoshiki.Like a 17-year-old boy who has just started his love and is determined to go his own way, he rode a fast horse and ran to Pei Lingshu's home in the capital.

This small courtyard is the old house left by Pei Lingshu's parents.After his parents died of illness, Pei Lingshu's elder brother, Pei Yiheng, who had already married in a different place, felt sorry for his younger sister who hadn't left the court, so he left this old house to her as a dowry.

Su Che bumped all the way on the horse, stood in front of the small courtyard and straightened his silk and satin all over, making sure everything was safe before knocking on the iron ring on the wooden door.

One ring, two rings, and three rings later, finally there was movement in the small courtyard.

The courtyard door opened, and the woman who came to open the door swept her eyebrows lightly, combing a simple flowing cloud bun, with two jade hairpins of poor quality stuck obliquely on her head, wearing a ginger-yellow jacket and a snow-white long skirt , Like a jade rabbit in the moon palace, smart and lovely.

Although Su Che knew that Pei Lingshu was a woman, it was the first time he saw her wearing a dress. He was very glad that he did not seriously push this woman to others after hearing Han Mochu's words.

Pei Lingshu glanced at Su Che, his eyes were first surprised, then stunned, and finally lonely again, he pursed his lips and called angrily: "Master Su, why are you here?"

"I heard that you're on leave due to illness, so I came to see you. By the way, I want to tell you something." Su Che tied the horse outside the gate of Pei Lingshu's small courtyard. He leaned forward and squeezed in.

"Lord Laosu is concerned, I'm fine here, please go back." Pei Lingshu coldly issued the order to evict the guest.

"I know you're not really sick, and I know you're trying to hide from me by saying you're sick at home. I'm here today to make things clear to you."

"Master Su wants to say something, just say it quickly, no matter how lonely you are, it will ruin Master Su's reputation." Pei Lingshu turned his head and said.

"I've made up my mind, let's get married."

"What... what...?" Pei Lingshu couldn't believe his ears.

"I said, let's get married." Su Che repeated what he said just now: "However, I didn't come to you because I couldn't find a wife. I came to you because I really have you in my heart and want to marry you." Yours. I admit that I like you, so I have been avoiding you. I am afraid that you will misunderstand me, and I am even more afraid of ruining you. I wanted to get married early and cut off my thoughts, but after much deliberation, I still want In the second half of my life with you, the woman next to me can't bear the medicine gas in the medicine house, doesn't understand medicine, and will scream in fright when seeing a living gecko, of course, it's not because of these that I like you." Su Che said Then he wrapped himself in again: "I married you because, because I wanted to marry you."

"You don't have a room, you don't have a lot of land, and the annual salary is pitifully small, what will you do to support me after we get married!" Su Che on the other side spoke enthusiastically, and didn't even notice that Pei Lingshu's eye circles were already red when he questioned him. .

Hearing this, Su Che untied the red bag that he had carried all the way from his back, opened the wooden box in the bag, and revealed a yellow gold ingot: "Mr. Yi Ji left me 300 taels of gold before he died. You are the dowry, if you marry me, I will give you 100 taels as a dowry gift, and the other 200 taels are enough for us to buy a yard in Beijing."

"You are almost as old as my father. If you marry me, I will take care of you. I'm clumsy and can't take care of you well!" Pei Lingshu suppressed his crying, and returned to him all the words he had rejected her that day.

"It doesn't matter, I'm the best at keeping in good health. Now when I go out and say that I'm not here, people will believe that I will live a long life and grow old with you."

"I'm your apprentice, it's against human ethics for you to marry me!"

"Didn't you already disown me as your master? Well, it happens that we are a man and a woman, and we marry each other." Su Che said sincerely, holding a box of gold, "If you agree, I will take a layer of gold and leave. "

Pei Lingshu angrily hugged the whole box of gold into his arms: "100 taels is the bride price, and the other 200 taels is the dowry. I will agree to all these."

The author has something to say:

The ten-thousand-year-old bachelor finally got his wife.
