After being married, she was held in the sky by a foolish husband

"Liangliang, I bought this for you."

Cui Chengyan also took out a brocade box from his cuff, and put it in front of Wen Liang as if offering a treasure.

Wen Liang took a look and said with a smile: "Why, you prepared a gift for me on your birthday?"

The package of the brocade box looked familiar, Wen Liang didn't open it directly, but turned it over, and saw the words engraved on the bottom of the box——

"Zhenbao Pavilion?" He asked in surprise. "It's far from here, isn't it?"

Zhenbao Pavilion is near Prince Qing's Mansion, and it is absolutely impossible for Cui Chengyan to go there in his usual range of activities.

Therefore, Wen Liang, who received the gift, squinted his eyes and looked Cui Chengyan up and down: "Could it be that...that's where he went for a walk by himself yesterday?"

It must have been a coincidence——

He went to Prince Qing's Mansion with Xiaoyu yesterday, and Cui Chengyan changed hands and bought something in Zhenbao Pavilion opposite to Prince Qing's Mansion.Coupled with Cui Chengyan's weird expression and attitude after returning yesterday... Wen Liang definitely has reason to believe that Cui Chengyan must have seen something in Zhenbao Pavilion.

"It's snowing... I... just walk around, just walk around."

Facing his daughter-in-law's suspicion, Cui Chengyan just made up a nonsense reason to excuse himself without even thinking about it.

However, after thinking about it, he realized that something was wrong.

The person who carried him to Prince Qing's mansion was Liang Liang, why did he act like a thief with a guilty conscience?

Thinking of this, Cui Chengyan gained a lot of confidence.

"I heard from those scholars that the things in the Treasure Pavilion are good, so I took the time to have a look." He didn't even bat an eye. "It's Liangliang, how do you know about Zhenbao Pavilion? Could it be that...you have been there too?"

Cui Chengyan rubbed his chin, as if he was recalling: "Yesterday, when I paid the money and went out... I saw two people coming out of Prince Qing's Mansion, they looked like you and Xiaoyu..."

Firstly, he didn't follow, and secondly, he didn't eat much. He just cared about what Liangliang was doing secretly, right?

Facing Cui Chengyan's straightforwardness, Wen Liang couldn't help laughing: "You think it looks like... why don't you ask to see? What if it is?"

"Then... how embarrassing it is to admit it wrong." Cui Chengyan didn't expect Wen Liang to admit it so generously, he asked curiously: "Is...really?"

Wen Liang had no intention of hiding it from him, so he nodded: "It's me and Xiaoyu."

He then explained why he left early and returned late these days.

After Cui Chengyan heard this, his expression was very strange: "Master... learn to make small wontons?"

Although there was a relationship with Mu Yuanshu in Fangfei Tower that time, but... Prince Qing, how can someone with such a noble status be interested in folk food like small wontons?

"I...was surprised at the beginning." Wen Liang said helplessly. "I even thought I heard it wrong - after all, Mr. Liu is more likely to learn how to make small ravioli."

Prince Qing's mansion is rich and powerful, and the tuition fees are so generous.

Wen Liang succumbed to the temptation of money without any prospects, and the generous reward made him feel the pleasure of getting rich—even the New Year gift he bought for Wen Xin was the most expensive, the most beautiful and the most fashionable in Zhenbao Pavilion Hosta.

"That night in Fangfei Tower, the son didn't say much, I thought he was difficult to get along with..." Wen Liang carefully observed Cui Chengyan's expression. "But after a few days of teaching, I found that Shi Ziye is actually a very hearty person... He learns things quickly and earnestly, without any airs. The time at Fangfei Building... must be related to Mr. Liu, right?"

The person who can make Mu Yuanshu condescend to learn how to make small ravioli... should be very unusual.

"Although I know Liangliang, you have never been stingy with complimenting others," Cui Chengyan said with a rather sad expression. "But you can't always praise other men in front of me, can you?"

Come on, the vinegar jar that should be turned over will be turned over sooner or later, and there is no way to hide it.

Wen Liang thought it was funny: "Tell me the truth! And Master Liu has a close relationship with Prince Qing's son. I know you don't like Liu Wuyan, so I didn't say it because I was afraid you would think too much about it. I really went to Prince Qing's mansion to be a cook, and everything else I don't know."

Wen Liang knew that Cui Chengyan didn't want himself to be involved in the disputes between the court and China, so he said this on purpose to reassure him.

"Prince Qing's son is very likely to become the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination. There are many people who want to curry favor with him." Cui Chengyan said. "Liu Wuyan should also know this, so he hasn't appeared in front of us recently."

"For other candidates, building a good relationship with the chief examiner may be a shortcut...but for me..."

Cui Chengyan's expression suddenly became serious: "If you don't get it, it's better to destroy it. Su Xiang tried his best to win me over, but the next step is very likely to let me out early."

"After the new year, the exam day is getting closer." He said. "In the past few days, people in the Juren circle have been saying that Beidi has frequently harassed the people on the border, and there seems to be a tendency to declare war."

These candidates who have not yet taken the exam are extremely concerned about the country's major affairs. After all, every major event that happens now is very likely to become a policy exam question.

"The ministers in the court are divided into two factions, the ones who advocate the war and the ones who advocate the peace. The generals and veterans headed by Prince Qing are the ones who are the ones to fight, but most of the civil servants headed by Prime Minister Su are the ones who are the ones to make peace."

"The two factions are arguing endlessly, and the Holy Majesty is very troubled by this. In addition, the matter of establishing a reserve has not been resolved. Su Xiang suggested that it is better to advance the time of the imperial examination and select new talents for the court as soon as possible."

The general examination is also called the spring examination. As the name suggests, it is an examination in spring.If it was earlier, wouldn't it be in the first month...

"Will the time be too short?" Wen Liang was referring to the reading time. "After all, the time for each session of the exam is basically fixed. If you rush to advance... it will disrupt the rhythm of many candidates, right?"

Cui Chengyan shook his head: "If the people of Beidi really declare war, I'm afraid they won't even be able to hold the test as scheduled. Although Su Xiang's step is risky, it is still reasonable. I finally understand why he is so anxious to win over potentials from all over the world." It’s a big move, mosquito legs are also meat, one step in advance to reserve strength for oneself, and eliminate dissidents.”

Listening to his analysis of the current situation, Wen Liang seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.

"Zixing, I still have a question." Wen Liang said. "There are so many candidates with potential, why did Prime Minister Su spend so much effort on you?"

This is what he wanted to ask a long time ago.At the time, Liu Wuyan only said that it was related to Brother Cui, but now Su Lian and Cui Chengyan's new Juren friends are all persuaded, so what is the purpose of forcing him to take down Cui Chengyan?

"Liangliang is really smart." Cui Chengyan praised his daughter-in-law without hesitation.

Wen Liang was a little embarrassed, and the tips of his ears were tinged with red.

"This is what I have only recently figured out." Cui Chengyan looked at him, and purposely put it off. "Liangliang, does he know...how much money does the Cui family have?"

This question stopped Wen Liang.

Everyone in Qingzhou City knows that the Cui family is very rich, and Yuanwai Cui is very capable. He deserves to be the richest man in Qingzhou City.But how rich this wealthy Cui family is, no one has counted it in detail!Although there are rumors that the Cui family's wealth can cover half of the national treasury, Wen Liang feels that such a statement is a bit exaggerated...

He remembered that Cui Chengyan said in front of Bao Tianlei that his life was more precious than ten thousand taels of gold.In other words, at the very least, the Cui family is richer than this...

"A few hundred thousand taels of gold? Or a few million taels of gold?" Wen Liang complained while guessing. "Who can guess this? Anyway, it's a huge wealth that I can't even imagine in my life."

After losing his father at the age of eight, Wen Liang, who had to deal with the beatings of life, is very sensitive to the concept of money. It is no wonder that Cui Chengyan always laughs at him for falling into the eyes of money.

Cui Chengyan found his angry appearance very interesting, so he grabbed him and hugged him into his arms.

"Liang Liang, don't be angry, isn't mine yours?" He said with a low smile, gestured and mouthed at the same time.

Wen Liang forgot to struggle for a moment, and was stunned: "This... is too much?"

"The sum of all the family properties is about this much." Cui Chengyan scratched the bridge of Wen Liang's nose. "Look at how rich you are."

Only then did Wen Liang come to his senses, and shouted, "Don't moles me!"

My God, 800 million...yellow, gold? !Changing to white, silver is, that is... 8000 million taels!

Facing Wen Liang's widening eyes, Cui Chengyan raised a finger and shook it: "It's not like a manor or something."!

Wen Liang looked up at Cui Chengyan, and seriously boasted: "Husband, you are really rich."

After finishing speaking, he felt that it was not enough, so he whispered into Cui Chengyan's ear anxiously: "Then what... I'm so poor... Is it holding you back?"

Cui Chengyan, who was pleased by the word "husband", laughed loudly: "Liangliang, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly!"

"Forget it if you can't hear clearly!" Wen Liang would never say it a second time, so he pushed Cui Chengyan. "Hey, you said that your family is so rich, why do you still have to come out and fight? Isn't it good to inherit the family business and be your romantic talent? Young master Cui, are you a little too motivated?"

"Isn't it good to make progress?" Cui Chengyan smiled at him. "No matter how much Da Qi elevates the status of a businessman, he still can't change the world's views. If you are good at learning, you will be an official. It's the idea of ​​ordinary people to study and become an official—it doesn't matter whether you are suitable or not, and whether your conditions support it or not. .”

Cui Chengyan was indifferent to seeing too many poor students.Some juren with mediocre qualifications, poor families, and no food, but they still insist on taking the exam, and their black hair has turned into white hair, and they don't know why.

"So, it's not you who Su Xiang is looking for? It's your family's money?" Wen Liang speculated. "That's why Prime Minister Su accepted your eldest brother, right? Hey, what does Prime Minister Su want so much money for?"

When it comes to money issues, Wen Liang's mind has been turning very fast.Cui Chengyan laughed and said: "I underestimated you, Liangliang is very clever and sees clearly."

"Prime Minister Su supported the second prince, formed cliques, and needed money everywhere." He said. "Although Prime Minister Su is a powerful minister, the people who stand outside are good officials who are upright, clean and honest. Their salary is not low, but it will not be too high."

Wen Liang sighed endlessly: "It turns out that being a high official still has such troubles... No wonder the neighbors said that many famous shops in this capital are owned by those high-ranking officials - relying on this to increase their income!"

"More than that, my father opened a caravan to Beidi a few years ago. It is a border line with high risks but high returns." Cui Chengyan said. "A few days ago, I received a letter from my father. He said that he wanted to hand over the Beidi line to the second uncle, so that he would have to suffer a little before he realized that it is not easy to do business."

The mediocrity of the two eldest brothers of the Cui family is obvious to all in Qingzhou City, and it is also puzzling that Yuanwai Cui still refuses to give up his two rotten elder brothers.

"You...didn't tell your father at all?" Wen Liang said. "I always feel that the second uncle's matter is a foreshadowing, and it may implicate your father."

Cui Chengyan sighed: "There is no proof, no one will believe it when I tell it. I also think there will be a problem, but I don't know how to tell my father. I can only tell him to be careful."

Wen Liang just wanted to nod in agreement with Cui Chengyan, but found that he seemed to be in a bad complexion, his lips were pale and his blood was gone.

A familiar sense of panic welled up in his heart, Wen Liang couldn't help shouting:

"Zi Xing—"

In his panicked voice, Cui Chengyan, who was joking with him just now, closed his eyes tightly and fell on his shoulder unexpectedly.

☆

In the room, the old man with white beard was feeling Cui Chengyan's pulse.

He frowned tightly, as if he had encountered some intractable disease.

Wen Liang, Xiaoyu, and Cui An stood aside, not daring to make a sound.

After feeling the pulse, the white-bearded old man sighed three times, and then said: "It's strange, it's so strange!"

"Isn't he typhoid?" Wen Liang couldn't help asking. "I caught a cold from the wind blowing on the street last night, and I have been sneezing this morning."

The doctor shook his head: "From the surface symptoms, it is typhoid fever. But his pulse condition is not what typhoid fever should be. I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have never encountered such a strange disease..."

As he spoke, he was about to stand up, and Wen Liang became anxious: "Hey doctor! Do you want to try again? Maybe you made a mistake just now!"

The doctor whose diagnosis level was questioned was very angry, and his beard trembled accordingly.

"It's a joke! Everyone in a radius of a hundred miles knows that I, Doctor Hu, have excellent medical skills, how could I be wrong!" Doctor Hu pointed at Wen Liang and said angrily. "You young man, what are you talking about! Can you cure me but not save me? But his pulse condition... really dare not act rashly!"

Wen Liang hurriedly laughed and said: "I'm sorry, Doctor Hu! I said something wrong, and I accept the punishment! You said that you are very skilled in medicine... If you can't make a diagnosis and treatment, then our young master..."

Wen Liang cares but is chaotic, and speaks more directly.Fortunately, this Dr. Hu is not a small-minded person, so he was coaxed away with a few good words.

"I can't see this disease, but someone can." Dr. Hu pointed out the direction for them. "Although Doctor Wu of Huichun Hall is young, he has rich experience. He can solve many difficult and miscellaneous diseases that I can't see in the famous hall. You may wish to invite him."

"Okay! Thank you, Doctor Hu!" Gentle and kind. "Doctor Hu, please go slowly! Cui An sent—"

When the words came to his lips, he abruptly turned another corner.

He turned his head to look at Cui An and Xiaoyu, frowned and asked, "Is the Rejuvenation Hall in Qingzhou City a chain store?"

☆

According to Dr. Hu's guidance, Cui An quickly invited Dr. Wu here.

Wu Xue: "Alright... Long time no see."

Good guy, Huichuntang is not only a chain store, even Dr. Wu is the same person.

Wen Liang: "Alright... Long time no see."

Then what... When Mr. Ye appeared at his supper stand to eat wontons, shouldn't he have thought of it?

"Zi Xing is sick?" Wu Xue guessed the result as a matter of course, Wen Liang nodded, looking hesitant to speak.

Wu Xue knew that he must be full of doubts now, so she took the initiative to explain: "Actually, Huichun Hall is the property of the Valley of Miraculous Doctors."

Wen Liang understood: "It turns out that Huichuntang is a chain store opened by Miracle Doctor Valley."

No wonder Qingzhou City has them, and so does Beijing City.

Miracle Doctor Valley is well-known in Jianghu, but few people know about the relationship between Huichun Hall and Miracle Doctor Valley.

"The doctors in Huichun Hall are basically the disciples of Miracle Doctor Valley, who only learned the necessary medical skills." Wu Xue said. "A disciple like me who has experienced going out of the valley wants to stay in a certain place, and usually stays in the Rejuvenation Hall in that place."

Wen Liang understood again: "Doctor Wu is a disciple who entered the house, so he is naturally unusual."

Wu Xue was silent.

If you say that... it seems to be correct.

Wu Xue took Cui Chengyan's pulse, her delicate eyebrows knit together.

He called Cui An: "Is your young master still taking the medicine?"

Cui An said: "Ten days ago, I ran out of medicine. I went to the pharmacy to get it. They told me that there was a medicine that was temporarily out of stock."

"What medicine is Zixing taking?" Wen Liang couldn't help interrupting.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from Dr. Hu's rhetoric and attitude.

"Is... Wuxiang?" He asked tentatively. "The last time he was in Green Water Village..."

It was the same last time, Cui Chengyan suddenly lost consciousness, his face was pale, and he babbled all night.

Wu Xue nodded: "Actually, after taking the last course of treatment, it's almost the same. It's just that when I took Zixing's pulse last time in Cui's mansion, I found that his pulse became a little strange again. At that time, I suspected that it was a blind medicine in the prescription. was replaced..."

After coming to the capital, Cui An was always in charge of Cui Chengyan's medicine, and he yelled in fright: "It's not me! I didn't change the medicine!"

"It's not me either! I decoct the medicine according to Dr. Wu's orders!" Xiaoyu was also terrified. When she was in Cui's mansion, she was the one who decocted the young master's medicine.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

This is the first time Wen Liang heard about the dropping of medicinal materials, and he was almost dumbfounded.

"Calm down, both of you!" Wen Liang had a complicated expression, but he still comforted Xiaoyu and Cui An. "I know, you are all devoted to the young master, how could you harm him?"

Xiaoyu and Cui An are the people he and Cui Chengyan trust the most, and it is absolutely impossible to betray them.Those who can do things in Cui's mansion can only be...

Wu Xue: "It's Baishu."

Atractylodes?The three looked at each other, as if thinking, who is this person?

Cui An scratched his head: "This...is that guy from Huichuntang?"

After finishing speaking, he found that there seemed to be ambiguity, and he added: "Rejuvenation Hall in Qingzhou City."

Wu Xue nodded: "When I found out the problem, I checked it out. The medicine bags in those few days were all caught by Baizhu. When others decocted the medicine, they probably couldn't tell the difference between the two herbs."

"At first, I thought that the medicinal materials were dropped in Cui's house, but now it seems that I was wrong." He said. "I told Zixing about this before he came to Beijing. Why, didn't he tell you?"

Doctor Wu accidentally told the truth again, Wen Liang looked at Cui Chengyan on the bed, and said angrily: "I'm not the roundworm in his stomach, how do I know."

Wu Xue was silent again.

Did he... say something wrong?

"Brother Zixing may just not want you to worry." Wu Xue's way of comforting others was a bit blunt.

Wen Liangqiang smiled happily: "Maybe."

When the damn Cui Chengyan wakes up this day, he must settle this account!

"Zixing's condition is not complicated, coma and shock induced by typhoid fever." Wu Xue said while preparing for the injection. "There is no cold side, and the disease of cold nature is the most likely to stimulate its toxicity. The remaining poison in Zixing's body is the last bit, and he will survive this winter safely. When the next spring begins, he should no longer need to take medicine to nourish it. "

"Really?" The stone in Wen Liang's heart fell to the ground.

His understanding of Wuxiang is limited to Wu Xue's explanation and Master Chai in the Green Water Village.Chai Da is the worst result of Wuxiang's poisonous hair, he is very afraid that Cui Chengyan will end up...

Wu Xue injected needles in several big points on Cui Chengyan's body, and gave Wen Liang a strange look: "Brother Wen, what did you say... When have I ever lied to someone?"

The fast-talking doctor Wu never speaks nonsense, and everyone saw it when he was in the bandit's den.

He re-wrote a prescription: "Last time I looked through the ancient books, and improved the recipe below. These medicinal materials are available in Huichuntang, and Cui An will go back with me to grab the medicine."

Cui Chengyan, who had been needled, still had his eyes closed, and his brows were wrinkled.

Wen Liang looked very distressed, and asked Wu Xue: "When will he wake up? Is there anything I need to pay attention to after waking up?"

Wu Xue said: "I will wake up in half an hour, take the typhoid medicine first, and then take the Wuxiang medicine two hours later. As for the points that need to be paid attention to...don't catch a cold anymore, the residual poison of Wuxiang will make people resist decline, and are more likely to get sick than the average person."

Wen Liang finally let go of his heart completely, a faint smile curled up on the corner of his lips.

He just said it!He was blowing the north wind with Cui Chengyan outside, why did Cui Chengyan fall down alone?

Before leaving, Wu Xue suddenly remembered something.

"Oh yes, today is Zixing's birthday, right?" he said. "The 28th of the twelfth lunar month, that guy Ye Guyun was still nagging a few days ago."

Wen Liang was surprised: "Do you all remember?"

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious, Cui Chengyan's friends are all true friends, each of them is loyal.

Wu Xue rummaged through her medicine chest and found a small porcelain bottle.

"This is what Zixing asked me for when I was in Lushui Village before, but I didn't have it at the time, so I didn't give it." Wu Xue said. "After I went back, I made an improved version, and the effect is better. Give it to Zixing as a birthday present."

Wen Liang now has an inexplicable fear of the small porcelain bottle. He looked at it and asked in a daze, "This...what is this?"

Under the crowd, Wu Xue didn't know how to explain.

The scene of inadvertently saying the wrong thing just now is still vivid in his memory, and he is worried that if he says the wrong thing again, Brother Zixing might suffer the risk of family changes after waking up...

"This... this is called..." Wu Xue said nonsense in a serious manner. "Qing... Qingfenglu! It relieves pain and inflammation, and is good for the body!"

Wen Liang looked at him suspiciously, looking at the small porcelain bottle——

Pain relief and anti-inflammation?Where is Cui Chengyan hurt again?
