Chapter 256, candidates for disaster relief
"Is the plague in Jianghan serious?"
When Shi Dinghao returned home from a business trip from the palace, Shi Fuxin hurriedly pulled him to ask.
"Very serious."
Shi Dinghao's face was serious: "Jianghan has been suffering from severe drought for two consecutive years, and people starved to death in many places. These people were not buried in time after death, which led to the outbreak of the plague."
"Because the refugees fled everywhere, some of them got sick and unintentionally spread the plague."
Shi Fuxin: "Who does the emperor decide to send to relieve the disaster?"
Shi Dinghao shook his head: "It hasn't been decided yet. In the morning court this morning, as soon as the matter of disaster relief was mentioned, the officials quarreled. Because of this, the emperor suffered a lot."
Shi Fuxin frowned: "This speed is too slow."
Shi Dinghao showed agreement: "The disaster in Jianghan is too serious, there might be a civil uprising, and the status of those who go to the disaster relief should not be too low. I think the emperor wants to send a prince to go."
Shi Fuxin showed surprise: "Send the prince? The emperor is not afraid that the prince will contract the plague?" You know, the plague will kill people.
Shi Dinghao: "I don't know if the emperor is afraid, but it's true that the princes are afraid to go to the disaster relief. Even the prince has kept a low profile these two days."
Seeing that Shi Fuxin squinted her eyes and said nothing, Shi Dinghao stretched out his hand and shook in front of her: "Sister, what are you thinking?"
Shi Fuxin looked at his younger brother: "I was thinking, although this disaster relief is a bit dangerous, it is also an opportunity."
Shi Dinghao nodded: "That's true, as long as the disaster relief is successful, it will be a real credit."
"Unfortunately, not only is there a severe drought in Jianghan, but also a plague broke out. Who dares to run to a place with plague? Although the future is important, there is only one life."
Speaking of this, what did Shi Dinghao think, and looked at Shi Fuxin in surprise: "Sister, do you want the eldest prince to help the disaster?"
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin said unhappily: "You think highly of me too, do you think I can order the First Prince to move?" He hummed, "I think this is an opportunity, but the First Prince may not be so think."
"Don't say that the eldest prince and I have never met before, and we don't have much master-student relationship. Even if the eldest prince really regards me as his master, I can't impose my thoughts on him."
"However. If the eldest prince wants to help the disaster himself, I can provide him with some help."
For example, the solution to the plague.
With the level of medical skills of this era, the plague is not easy to solve, but for her, it is not difficult.
Shi Fuxin pondered for a while, then turned and went into the study to write a letter to Master Xiang.
If the eldest prince wants to provide disaster relief, the solution to the plague will be entrusted to him. If he does not go, the credit will be given to Shennongtang.
At the same time, the Great Prince's Mansion.
Compared to other princes who were worried about being sent to Jianghan for disaster relief, the first prince was very at ease.
No way, who made him weak and sick has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
No matter how you choose, the emperor will not choose a sick person.
"There is a doctor named Lao Zhan."
Every half a month, Zhan Fei will come to check the eldest prince's pulse, and today is the day of his visit again.
Zhan Fei felt for the eldest prince's pulse, and repeatedly checked for a long time.
The eldest prince saw him, and asked worriedly: "Doctor Zhan, but my condition is serious again?"
Zhan Fei looked at the eldest prince's obviously sick face, and silently withdrew his hand: "The elder prince is recovering well, let's take the previous prescription."
The eldest prince's pulse is slow and weak, which fits the characteristics of a chronically ill person.
At this time, the cry of a child came from outside the hospital.
Zhan Fei listened, his expression moved slightly, and he smiled at the eldest prince: "The little emperor's voice is loud and full of energy, and he sounds like a healthy and good boy."
According to his diagnosis, the First Prince shouldn't have a child so soon.
However, the eldest prince who looked like a sick child had a healthy son within one year of marriage.
Don't need to guess, it must be the bad-hearted junior sister who quietly helped the eldest prince recuperate his body.
Hmph, she pretended to be, and I don't know what kind of disguise she used, but she almost hid it from him!
Hearing that Zhan Fei's words meant something, the eldest prince felt a little nervous, and quickly smiled: "It's all the blessings of the ancestors."
Ancestral blessing?
Zhan Fei laughed, the bad-hearted junior sister is the master of the first prince, and she is considered to be half an ancestor, but I don’t know how the first prince will feel when he knows that his master is a little girl who is ten years younger than himself.
The eldest prince felt that Zhan Fei's smile was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was going on.
What's more, during the usual consultations, in order to avoid suspicion, Miracle Doctor Zhan usually came and went in a hurry, and never stayed for long, but today, after the pulse had been diagnosed, Miracle Doctor Zhan actually sat still and drank tea.
The eldest prince patiently sat with him, and waited until Zhan Fei had no intention of leaving after drinking a cup of tea, and then asked, "Does Doctor Zhan have something to explain?"
Zhan Fei looked at him: "When I came out of the palace today, I happened to meet the crown prince and some princes who were going to see the emperor. I listened to their conversation. They seemed to want to recommend you, the eldest prince, to help the disaster."
The Eldest Prince frowned first, and then laughed again: "Thank you, Doctor Zhan, for telling me, I am such a sick child, the Emperor Father probably wouldn't take their advice."
Zhan Fei said faintly: "That's not necessarily true."
The eldest prince looked puzzled: "Why did Miracle Doctor Zhan say that?"
Zhan Fei: "You are the protector of Shennong Hall."
Hearing this, the First Prince's expression changed.
This year, Shennongtang has opened branches in Huaiyuan and Liaodong, and its reputation has spread throughout the Northwest, Northern Xinjiang, and Liaodong regions.
The pills produced by Shennongtang have become military supplies for the army.
When they got married, the master sent Shennongtang's guardian decree. Because he could mobilize some Shennongtang's pills, people from the military department and the five armies' guards all came to him to seek relationships. He also used this to see his father from time to time. , This prevented him from being completely pushed out of the center of the court.
The plague in Jianghan is serious, and it will definitely consume a lot of medicinal materials. It is really possible for the princes to use Shennong Hall to make troubles to harm him.
He is weak, if he is infected with the plague, he will die.
Zhan Fei ignored the eldest prince's discoloration, and suddenly changed the subject: "Does the eldest prince often contact his junior sister?"
The eldest prince didn't expect Zhan Fei to ask this question at all, and was stunned.
Since Miracle Physician Zhan accepted his apprentice on behalf of his younger sister that year, Miracle Doctor Zhan has never told him about Master, why did he suddenly mention Master today?
"In most cases, it is Master who writes to me."
Zhan Fei said 'Oh': "If the emperor really wants to send you to help the disaster, what will you do?"
The eldest prince thought for a while and smiled: "Probably not, father knows that I am weak."
The eldest prince was stunned again.
Zhanfei saw it, and said directly: "The matter is caused by your master giving you the law protection order of Shennongtang. You should talk to her."
The heartbroken junior sister gave the eldest prince a Shennong hall protection decree, and found so many things for him. Whenever people from the Ministry of War and the five armies guard the first prince approached the eldest prince, the princes would look at him with deep eyes.
In the minds of those princes, they probably have already labeled him as the eldest prince's party.
He has to let the bad-hearted junior sister know that he can't meddle in royal affairs casually. She thought it was for his own good to protect the eldest prince Shennongtang.
This can be regarded as a lesson for her.
The eldest prince thought of his master's superb medical skills, if the master can solve the plague.
The eldest prince's heart moved. He was framed by several princes before, so that he lost the chance to be a servant in the court. Although he helped the army buy some pills with the protection of the Shennong Hall, he could not fulfill his ambition and let the officials in the court... recognize his abilities.
Perhaps, this disaster relief is an opportunity.
His body has been recuperated a long time ago. If Master really has a solution to the plague, then he will have nothing to fear.
Disaster relief can not only show your ability, but also increase your reputation in the hearts of the people.
Thinking of this, the First Prince said to Zhan Fei: "Then please wait for me, Doctor Zhan, and I will write to Master right now." After speaking, he got up and went to the study.
Not long after, the eldest prince came back with a letter, and handed it to Zhan Fei with both hands: "Please trouble Dr. Zhan."
Zhan Fei put away the letter, and if he didn't stay for long, he got up and was about to leave.
The eldest prince stopped him: "Miraculous doctor Zhan Liubu, I want to ask, um, what kind of person is my master?"
Zhanfei showed a strange face, and soon laughed again: "Your master is a wonderful person, you will be surprised when you see him in the future."
The eldest prince was confused when he heard that, wonderful person? Surprised? Could it be that Master's temperament is as weird as that of Dr. Zhan?
Wuchangbo Mansion.
After Shi Fuxin sent the letter asking Master Xiang to prepare the medicinal materials, she was going to go out to see Hongyanxiao. A few days ago, twelve lipsticks were released, and she wanted to see how the sales were.
"Sixth Sister."
When Shi Fuxin passed the water pavilion in the backyard, she was stopped by Shi Fuyao who was sitting in the pavilion.
"Fourth sister, why are you here alone?"
Shi Fuyao: "I was bored in the house, so I wanted to come out to enjoy some air. If you are not busy, Sixth Sister, come and sit for a while."
Shi Fuxin thought that Shi Fuyao was about to get engaged, and there would be fewer chances to meet after getting married, so she went to the pavilion, and after entering, she found that Shi Fuyao's eyebrows were not raised, so she couldn't help asking: "Fourth sister, do you have something on your mind? "
Shi Fuyao smiled wryly: "I'm too stupid, when I encounter trouble, my mind is like a paste."
Shi Fuxin laughed and said: "Everyone is the same, no one is much smarter than anyone else."
Shi Fuyao looked at Shi Fuxin: "No, I just think Sixth Sister, you are very smart, and I am very envious of you."
Shi Fuxin Nahan, her temperament does not meet the lady's standard of this era. If Shi Fuyao is a good girl, then she is a typical thorn: "Fourth sister, why do you envy me?"
Shi Fuyao hesitated for a while, but still said: "I envy your temper, you dare to confront the elders, and dare to say no."
Shi Fuxin smiled: "The elders don't like me like this."
Shi Fuyao: "But you live happily."
Shi Fuxin thought for a while: "There are pros and cons to everything." As she spoke, she looked at Shi Fuyao with a smile, "I heard that the eldest aunt took care of the two families for the fourth sister?"
Shi Fuyao was silent: "Sixth sister, do you also think that I should not marry into the Qu family, but should choose the Ren family?"
Shi Fuxin asked without answering: "Which family do you want to marry?"
Shi Fuyao showed confusion, and shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know which one to choose, the Qu family and the Ren family have their own advantages."
Shi Fuxin was silent for a moment: "Fourth sister, I think the reason why a person is hesitant is because he doesn't know what he really wants."
Shi Fuyao was stunned: "What do you really want?"
Shi Fuxin: "Yes, do you want to marry into the glory brought by a noble family, or do you want to live a relaxed and happy life after marriage?"
Shi Fuyao: "Can't I have both?"
Shi Fu was silent, and organized her words: "Fourth sister, in everything you have, you have to give up. For example, if you choose the Qu family with a high family background, you have to choose to bear all kinds of complicated personnel relationships brought by the big family. "
"No matter what you do, you can't take it for granted. You can't want to marry into a high family, but you don't want to bear the heavy pressure of a high family. If you choose to live an easy life, don't ask for a low family status."
Shi Fuyao was silent.
Seeing her like this, Shi Fuxin didn't want to say more, just when she was thinking of making an excuse to leave, Shi Fuyin came back.
"Sister, aren't you in the store?"
"I'm coming back to get something."
Shi Fuyin greeted Shi Fuyao with a smile, and then said to Shi Fuxin: "There is something wrong with the number of goods sent by Zhuangzi, please go back with me to check."
After Shi Fuxin heard this, she talked to Shi Fuyao, and left with Shi Fuyin.
Away from the pavilion, Shi Fuxin said: "Sister, haven't the goods been proofread a long time ago?"
Shi Fuyin: "It's not about the goods, it's about Dr. Zhan. He just went to see the beauty and smiled. He said he wanted to see you, but he insisted that I come back immediately and tell you to come over."
Shi Fuxin was a little surprised: "Eldest senior brother wants to see me? What is he looking for from me? Let's go, let's go to Beauty Smile."
Hong Yanxiao’s private room on the second floor, when Shi Fuxin came, Zhan Fei was sitting in the private room tinkering with a box of newly released mask cream.
"Brother, you miss me!"
When Fuxin's sweet voice came to his ears, Zhan Fei shook his hand holding the mask cream, looked up at her smilingly walking in, hummed, and threw the eldest prince's letter directly to her.
"What's this?"
"Letter from your apprentice."
Shi Fuxin was surprised, and quickly opened the letter to read it.
Seeing the eldest prince asking her if she had a solution to the plague, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
She knew that the eldest prince who could communicate with Chu Yao in secret would definitely not be content with nothing.
Zhan Fei saw that Shi Fuxin's reaction was not right, and asked quickly: "What did the eldest prince tell you?"
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "The eldest prince said he wanted to go to the disaster relief, and asked me if there was any solution to the plague."
Zhan Fei's eyes widened: "The eldest prince wants to go to rescue the disaster?!" The more expensive the person, the more afraid of death, he really didn't expect the first prince to go to the disaster relief.
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "What's so surprising about this? As the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest prince enjoys the support of the people, so he should do something for the people."
Zhan Fei was depressed, he seemed to have backfired.
