The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 197 Su Wang's wishful thinking

A few days later, Mu Lei finally divorced Ning Yueyao.

This matter was suppressed by the two patriarchs with thunderous means, and only a few people in the house knew about it, and it was not spread out. It was only said that Mu Lei did not want to delay the daughter of the Ning family, and voluntarily resigned.

But how could Mrs. Wang let it go so easily, and finally caught Ning Yueyao's handle, how could she let her go so easily?
So this matter was quietly spread in the form of rumors.

But the two governments don't care too much now, they are busy asking Mu Lei for a doctor who can treat his legs.

Rong Guogong heard that there is a doctor who is good at treating trauma in Su Wangfu, so he came to ask the prince himself.

King Su had heard about this a long time ago, so he was just waiting for him to come to the door. Recently, His Royal Highness King Su is in a good mood. During the severe drought in the north last year, Li Zhao mentioned to him that there might be some serious problems in the next year after the severe drought. Locust plague.

Sure enough, this year there was a plague of locusts in some areas of Shandong and Gyeonggi, and the spring plowing was missed. This would lead to another famine, even worse than last year. The food he had let people garrison in the south last year would be used immediately.

However, King Su did not sell this batch of grain in his own name, but asked several Lingnan wealthy merchants who had contact with him to go north to sell grain.

The grain in the Changping warehouse in the north was almost exhausted last year, and the merchants who sold grain didn't have to worry about retailing. They directly sold the grain to the government at a price that was [-]% lower than the current market price in the north, and they made a lot of money.

During this period, there were also conflicts with northern merchants.

The noble families in the north originally wanted to make a good fortune after this disaster, and stock up more land by the way!

But when the merchants in South China came to disturb them, all their wishful thinking was in vain. The food that was originally hoarded at home would be thrown into their hands if they were not sold, so they had to sell it together. [-]% lower.

Within a month, the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River also arrived with their grain. They also wanted to take advantage of the locust plague in the north and sell more grain when the grain price was high, but when they came, the price dropped by half.

Of course, these disaster relief food countries are not going to distribute it for nothing, and the Ministry of Household Affairs still arranges work relief.

Building roads and bridges, moving bricks to build walls, digging canals, and even building a mausoleum for the emperor's father, many of the things that the corvees were used to do in the past are now assigned to these victims.

The household department was short of manpower, so the task was dispatched to various government offices in prefectures and counties.

In this era, there are no specialized engineering construction companies. Most of the infrastructure construction is done by the government offices themselves, and all the talents related to infrastructure projects are concentrated in the government offices. Otherwise, some projects can be outsourced.

The purchase of building materials is more interesting. As Song Jianming is the head of the household department, the building material suppliers will naturally become businesses related to himself or Su Wangfu.

These days, there is no concept of public bidding at all. Whoever has connections and connections will win.

The wealthy merchants in the north who had gone through other paths in the past regretted their past.Especially when Song Jianming was rebuilding the account books, everyone thought that Song Jianming would not last long in this position, but after a few years, he is still sitting firmly in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!

How can they know what the emperor is short of money now.A few years ago, the emperor wanted to renovate several halls in the palace, but the Ministry of Household Affairs searched and searched and couldn't find any money, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also cried desperately for poverty.

The financial situation of the household department and even the small treasury of the emperor himself gradually improved after Song Jianming returned to Beijing to take office.

As long as the court lacks money and the emperor lacks money, no matter how many people attack Song Jianming, the emperor will just pretend not to see it.

The household department was busy collecting grain and providing disaster relief, and King Su sat at home happily counting money.

He secretly raised more than [-] soldiers in the south, spending money. It just so happened that he made a lot of money by selling grain and building materials this time, and it was also a source of military salary. He felt really happy!
Here, Lord Ning's ball came to King Su's arms, and he immediately sent Dr. Fan, who has the most experience in treating this type of trauma, to go.

Dr. Fan touched Mu Lei's knee and ankle, and found that only the right ankle bone was comminuted. Fortunately, the bone was not completely broken, only five pieces. He said it could be treated, but he died due to infection during the operation. Risk, ask Mu Lei if he will do it.

Mu Lei gritted his teeth and said: "A man must stand upright while alive. If you want me to be a cripple, crippled for the rest of my life, I might as well die. Do it!"

Aunt Zhang cried so much that she almost fainted, Mu Yuhui supported her mother, gritted her teeth tightly, and remained silent.

Mu Shizi kept sighing at the side, and the two old masters simply walked out of Mu Lei's small courtyard and hid themselves not wanting to look any further.

Dr. Fan glanced at his lord, His Royal Highness Su laughed, patted Mu Lei on the shoulder, and said: "My boy, if you survive this time, I will promote you. Of course, if you want to go with Lord Ning The King of the Northeast doesn't stop me either."

Doctor Fan thought to himself, only his prince dared to laugh out loud at this time.

Mu Lei seemed to have received great encouragement, and he said to Doctor Fan more firmly: "Doctor, do it. It is better to die than to be a cripple. I will leave my leg to you."

Before the operation, people from the palace removed all the furniture in the wing room, cleaned it well to make the wing room spotless, and then changed all the gauze windows into glass windows.

On a sunny morning, I wiped out the side room with alcohol, found Zhang Meirentai, and spread a piece of steamed cotton cloth as an operating bed.

After giving Mu Lei an anesthetic decoction with kale flower and hemp flower as the main ingredients, Dr. Fan began to operate on Mu Lei.

He washed Mu Lei's legs with two whole bottles of alcohol without feeling distressed, cut open the flesh, used sterilized steel tweezers to take out the small pieces of broken bones, then put the large pieces of broken bones in their original positions, sewed up the flesh, During the whole process, the assistant kept spraying 70.00% five alcohol to prevent the bacteria in the air from infecting the wound.

In the end, two plaster casts were made for him, and one of them was given to the carpenter, who asked the carpenter to make a detachable retainer overnight, because the place where the operation was performed had to be disinfected three times a day, and if the wound was infected, Mu Lei's My life is about to be explained.

The process is extremely painful and cumbersome.

However, the Duke's Mansion has money and people who can afford it.

If ordinary soldiers break the bones of their ankles, it is basically hopeless.

During this period of time, Mu Lei could only stay in this room, under the care of Dr. Fan's students, who were not allowed to enter and leave this room at will, even Aunt Zhang who wanted to bring food was not allowed in, and she was only asked to bring the food box. Put it at the door and disinfect it with alcohol when you bring it in.

Mu Lei stayed in this alcohol-smelling room every day, feeling like he was getting drunk just by breathing.

In a whole month, he had a fever three times. Dr. Fan went to the Duke's Mansion to clean his wound twice. Finally, he saw that the skin and flesh had finally grown together, but it would take at least two years for the bones to grow back to the same level as before. time.

Doctor Fan said helplessly: "It's a blessing to be able to make him walk smoothly, I want him to play with an iron gun weighing more than ten catties like before, unless you want his ankle to be broken again. If it breaks any more, even I can't do anything!"

Before Mu Lei could get depressed, King Su laughed and said, "It's okay, tell this kid to go to Shenji Camp to learn how to use firecrackers. If you use firecrackers well, they are no worse than bows and arrows." Then he said to Mu Lei: "Boy, don't think about it." I went to the grassland to ride a horse. This king wrote a letter to the governor of Fujian, Lord Shen, and you will go to the south in the future to learn how to sail a boat and how to fire a cannon. It is useless to know how to ride a horse on a boat."

Mu Lei smiled wryly, this is indeed a way out.

Mu Yuhui knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to His Royal Highness King Su, and said loudly: "Your Highness is the reborn parents of my brother and I, and my little girl is willing to do everything for His Highness in this life!"

After King Su finished dealing with Mu Lei's matter, he was in a very good mood. He looked down and saw that the concubine daughter of the Mu family was quite pretty. If she carried it back... forget it, the daughter of the Duke's Mansion can't play with it.It would be appropriate to be a concubine for that boy Azhao...

He asked her to get up with a humble and courteous look: "If your brother hadn't been a promising child, this king would not have made such an effort to help him. If you want to thank him, teach your brother to thank him. It's done, and this king is gone."

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"Congratulations to the lord!"

The master and the people knelt all over the courtyard.

"Okay, get up." King Su looked very talkative, with his hands behind his back, and he said goodbye in a leisurely manner.

When he returned to the mansion, he remembered that his son and daughter-in-law were coming back soon, and his mood immediately improved a little, so he told Eunuch Wang to prepare a reception banquet: "The eldest daughter-in-law likes to watch lively martial arts, so find a well-played troupe to sing "Two Heavens". It’s been a long time since the mansion has been bustling.”

"Your Highness," another eunuch came in from the door, and said respectfully: "The Marquis of Zhenbei, please see me."

Lord Su and Eunuch Wang laughed and said, "Hey, my brother-in-law is here, a rare visitor. Please come in!"

Over the years, the Marquis of Zhenbei kept a distance from King Su because he was afraid of the emperor's suspicion, and rarely visited the door. This time, he didn't even hand over a letter of invitation, and it was strange that people came directly.

Su Wang faintly felt that it was not a good thing, but no matter what, the brother-in-law would definitely entertain him when he came to the door.

Here Zhenbei Hou followed the little eunuch to the Jiutengzhai where King Su drank tea and had a rest. King Su was about to bow his hands and greet him a few times, when his brother-in-law knelt down for himself with a plop.

"Hey! Uncle, you are..."

"Your Highness, I, I am also forced to do nothing, you, please help me think of a way." Saying that, an old man even wiped his tears.

Eunuch Wang drove away all the servants in the room with great insight, and he went out himself, closing the door gently when he left. You can't make the famous Lord Zhenbei feel ashamed in front of the servants, can you?
King Su rubbed the jade ring finger made of Burmese jadeite in his hand, and looked down at Lord Ning carefully. He saw that the regular clothes he was wearing were wrinkled, his beard was unshaven, and his hair was crooked. He thought to himself, Who is this a fight with?

Who has the ability to beat Tangtang Zhenbei Hou Ye?

"Brother Uncle, who...was you beaten?" King Su asked jokingly while helping Lord Ning Hou up.

Ning Hansong felt very ashamed, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and say what he came for, "My lord, today I begged you with my old face, let His Royal Highness marry Yao'er."

King Su was stunned for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "Uncle, you are... beaten by your mother-in-law and the general's wife!"

Lord Ning let out a long and aggrieved sigh.

Lord Ning's old lady and those two aunts are powerful, King Su knows, those three old ladies are heroines who used to go on horses and kill Tartars with high status, violent temper, and great strength!Lord Ning Hou was probably forced to do nothing by the three old ladies, so he came to beg for this matter.

His Royal Highness King Su had laughed enough, suddenly put on a straight face, and said seriously: "It's a good thing that we can get married. It's just that Yao'er can only be a side concubine when she enters the house. It is impossible for this king to ask the boss to divorce his wife for Yao'er. "

"I know, I know!" Ning Hou Ye held King Su's hand and sighed repeatedly, "How dare I ask His Royal Highness to divorce his wife and marry her!"

"Now that I know, if Yao'er enters the mansion in the future, she will be the concubine of the crown prince. The concubine is a good concubine, but you and I know Yao'er's temperament. If Yao'er suffers any grievances from the concubine in the future, it will be regarded as a concubine. As an uncle, I will definitely not help her."

Lord Ning raised his tearful eyes to meet King Shangsu's sharp eyes, his heart ached like a knife.

His Yao'er is going to be someone else's concubine.

How could he be willing!How willing!

"Your Highness, you, eh...it's me, it's my responsibility, I spoiled Yao'er." Lord Ning Hou beat his chest and stamped his feet.

King Su patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, don't be too sad. Although I won't help her, I won't let people bully her. After all, Yao'er and Shizi have been in love since childhood. Others are incomparable, Zhao'er will definitely not treat her harshly. She can marry Zhao'er to make her wish come true, and also make her mother-in-law come true. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

"Yes, I know..." Lord Ning drooped his head, sad and angry at the same time, his whole body was exhausted.

"We'll talk about this matter when Zhao'er comes back, and I have to go into the palace to talk to my father. Tell the Ministry of Rites to get ready." King Su thought to himself, counting the days.

In fact, a few years ago, he struggled for a while between Song Qingyue and Ning Yueyao, who should be his son's concubine.In fact, at that time, his idea was to ask Ning Yueyao to be the main concubine and Song Qingyue to be the side concubine.

But Mr. Song loves Song Qingyue, a girl so much. If he lets Song Qingyue in as a concubine, he thinks that Song Jianming will dare to turn over the table with him immediately, but more importantly, Li Zhao likes that little girl Song San very much. After much deliberation, His Highness finally chose Song Qingyue.

After all, that girl is capable!
Considering that even if Ning Yueyao didn't enter the door, King Su's mansion and Zhenbeihou's mansion would be grasshoppers tied to the same rope and couldn't escape, so King Su was relieved.

If Ning Yueyao was to marry in as a concubine, she would feel a little wronged. Even if she forced her to come, that boy Li Zhao would be three points shorter when he met Lord Ning in the future. King Su didn't want to make his son feel wronged.

But in the end, that silly girl Ning Yueyao actually did something like breaking Mu Lei's leg, and even spread rumors, which is tantamount to cutting herself off.

Now Lord Ning is begging the palace to accept her as a side concubine, also to quell the rumors in the market.How could the majestic prince's mansion call a woman with bad morals who bought her fiancée's leg to be a side concubine?So as long as King Su agreed to the marriage, the rumors would be self-defeating.

Lord Ning Hou didn't mention this matter today, so King Su just pretended to be stupid with him, but Lord Ning Hou knew what kind of person his brother-in-law was, so he definitely wouldn't be ignorant of this matter.

But His Royal Highness King Su still agreed, which is to help Ning Yueyao and the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

This is really effortless.

Ha ha!King Su wanted to sit proudly on his hips for a while.

Even if Li Zhao faces Ning Hansong in the future, he won't feel guilty or guilty.

Tsk tsk, God, God!
