The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 8 Insufficiency
"Sun Daochang doesn't need to be so worried. It's not a year or two since your mother has been ill. I think His Majesty can understand Sun Daochang." Zhong Zishuo thought that Sun Simiao was worried that Queen Li Shimin would blame him if he couldn't cure her.

Xuan Shijing didn't worry about this, and Li Shimin's heart was not like that.

"Sun Daochang, the queen's qi disease cannot be cured. Shi Jing once read in an ancient book that the disease of qi disease can only be warmed up slowly, and work hard from the daily living environment and food."

Sun Simiao listened to Xuan Shijing's words, thoughtful: "Young Master is right, the empress is so virtuous, but now she is lingering on the sick bed, it is really regrettable."

It was already evening when they arrived in Chang'an City, Xuan Shijing asked Zhong Zishuo to drive Xiaolian and her mother to the medical clinic, and Sun Simiao wrote a prescription on the spot for people to take the medicine.

"Daozhang Sun, it's getting late, and the Taoist priest doesn't have a place to stay in Chang'an. Why don't you stay at the mansion first, the Hou's mansion is not far from the imperial palace, and it will be more convenient for the Taoist priest to come to the palace to treat the empress." Xuan Shijing said.

"That's right, Daoist Sun, you came to Chang'an mainly to treat the empress. It would be inconvenient to stay in a hotel." Zhong Zishuo also tried his best to persuade him to stay.

"This..." Sun Simiao hesitated again and again, but had no choice but to agree: "Then bother the family."

Xiao Lian's mother drank Sun Simiao's medicine, and she has recovered a lot. Xiao Lian held the remaining medicinal materials in one hand and supported her mother in the other, and walked forward to bless her body: "Xiao Lian thanked all benefactors again. life-saving grace."

"Miss Xiaolian, you don't need to be polite. It seems that you have just come to Chang'an City, but you are here to join relatives?" Sun Simiao asked.

Xiao Lian's mother shook her head and smiled wryly: "Our mother and son escaped from Hebei. My poor husband died on the battlefield three years ago, leaving behind us two mothers. In the past two years, there have been severe droughts and plagues of locusts. In the past few days, Xiao Lian has even attracted the attention of the bullies in the village, and this day is really hard to live on, so she sells her property and plans to come to Chang'an to find a rich family to work for, at least she can survive."

Speaking of her sadness, the woman couldn't help crying, and Xiao Lian also sobbed.

Xuan Shijing sighed silently in his heart, and then said: "Forget it, you are also poor people. Since you are going to work for a big family, how about it, if you are willing, come back to the Marquis Mansion with me and let Uncle Zhong arrange an errand for you. Although the family is not considered rich, it can still provide food and clothing for you."

As soon as the woman heard that there was a way out for herself and her daughter, she immediately wiped away the tears on her face, and knelt down to Xuan Shijing: "Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you, Lord Hou." As she spoke, she grabbed her daughter : "Xiao Lian, please kneel down and thank Lord Hou."

"Okay, okay, get up, it's getting dark, don't delay any longer, let's go." Xuan Shijing hurriedly said to stop, thank you so much, when will you get the ink.

Xuan Shijing and Sun Simiao got into the carriage, Zhong Zishuo led the horse, and Xiaolian followed her mother behind Zhong Zishuo.

At the entrance of Xuanweihou's Mansion, Long'er looked at the carriage not far away, and her face was instantly filled with joy: "Young Master is back."

The carriage stopped at the door, and Xuan Shijing lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing his little head.

Long'er immediately ran over and carried Xuan Shijing down.

"Young Lord, you are back. Why did it take you so long?" Long'er put Xuan Shijing on the ground and straightened his wrinkled clothes for him.

"Something happened on the way." Xuan Shijing said.

At this time, Sun Simiao had already got off the carriage, and Xuan Shijing said to Long'er again: "This is Daoist Sun, a distinguished guest of our house, Longer, you order to go down and clean up a yard for Daoist Sun."

"Yes, Young Master." Long'er replied.

"Sun Daochang, it's time for dinner. You can have dinner with the young master and his wife today. I think my wife will be very happy to see you." Zhong Zishuo said.

"Pindao and Mrs. Xuan have not seen each other for many years, so it is disrespectful for Pindao." Sun Simiao readily agreed.

Mother also knew Daoist Sun?Xuan Shijing only felt that everyone in her family had supernatural powers, if someone was randomly pulled out on the street, everyone in the house would be able to tell one, two, three.

"It turns out that Sun Daochang and his mother are old acquaintances." Xuan Shijing said: "It's better this way, Sun Daochang can live in the mansion with peace of mind, since you saved Sister Xiaolian's mother and daughter, and she both want Come to work in my house, how about this, sister Xiao Lian will be Daoist Sun's maid first, Uncle Zhong, sister Xiao Lian's mother, you can make arrangements."

"Yes, Young Master." Zhong Zishuo stood behind Xuan Shijing: "Long'er, you take Young Master and Daoist Sun to see your wife first, and I will order the servants to clean up the yard, and then go to the kitchen to see dinner."

"Yes, Young Master, Daoist Sun, let's go, Madam is waiting for Master Hou to come back for dinner." Long'er led Xuan Shijing and Sun Simiao to the hall.

In the hall, some side dishes and several bowls of porridge had been prepared on the table. As soon as Xuan Shijing entered the hall, she saw Mrs. Wang sitting at the head.

"Mother, I'm back, look, who's here." Xuan Shijing walked to Wang's side.

"It's good to be back." Wang looked at Xuan Shijing's words dotingly, then looked up, and the moment he saw Sun Simiao, his face was full of surprise: "Brother Sun!"

Xuan Shijing's face was full of surprise, big brother?

"Little sister, long time no see." Sun Simiao smiled.

At this time, Wang Shi hadn't come out of the surprise, Xuan Shijing gently tugged on her mother's sleeve: "Mother, let's eat first, sit down and chat while eating, Jing'er is hungry." Xuan Shijing looked up With a small head, she looked at Wang pitifully.

Xuan Shijing shouted in her heart: This is definitely not trying to be cute!From morning to now, most of the day has passed, a growing child must be hungry if he has not eaten for such a long time!
"Yes, yes, you see, forget about what I'm happy about, Brother Sun, come on, sit down quickly, let's chat while eating." Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked Sun Simiao to sit down, and then told Long'er: "Long'er, Go to the kitchen and ask the kitchen to make more vegetarian meals."

"Madam, don't worry, Butler Zhong has already gone to the kitchen to order." Long'er said with a light smile.

The servants brought up the food one after another, Xuan Shijing didn't care about the presence of outsiders, grabbed a steamed bun with a small hand, scooped some vegetables with a spoon, put them into the bowl in front of her, and began to eat. I was starving.

After three rounds of cooking, Mrs. Wang spoke to Sun Simiao.

"Brother Sun, you have been wandering around for many years, why did you think of going back to Chang'an this time?"

"I responded to His Majesty's call and went to the palace to see a doctor for the empress. My little sister, I met your son on the road this time and found that there is something wrong with your son's body." Sun Simiao looked serious.

"Ah? Brother Sun, what serious illness does Jing'er have?" Sun Simiao's words scared Wang terribly. Xuan Shijing is now her only hope of living.

"Don't panic, little sister, listen to elder brother tell you slowly." Sun Simiao said: "Elder brother knows that when you were only three months pregnant with Jing'er, brother Mingde died unfortunately, you were too sad and your fetus moved , within a few days, you set off for Chang'an, presumably Jing'er's body is in the mother's womb, and it is not enough to fall down."

"Brother Sun, what should I do, Jinger... is he alright?" After listening to Sun Simiao's words, Mrs. Wang remembered what happened back then. She didn't expect that someone who didn't pay attention at that time would harm her own child. Insufficiency is brought out from the womb.

"Fortunately, the son is still young, so it's not a big problem to recuperate in time. Brother, when he comes to Chang'an this time, he will stay in Chang'an for a while. While the empress can see a doctor, he can take care of the son and recuperate his body."

"If that's the case, I'm going to have to thank you." After hearing what Sun Simiao said, Wang's heart was more than half relaxed, but she was still a little worried. Looking at Xuan Shijing who was still gobbling, her eyes were full of kindness, and she said softly : "Jing'er, eat slowly, no one will grab it from you."
