Yan Cigui.

Summer is here as expected.

Xiao Duan's summer is bitter, and he is old and dare not use more ice, so he can only cool down his drinks a little.

It was extremely hot this summer and it was really uncomfortable, but she was in an especially good mood.

There have been a lot of good things going on at home these days.

Laoshi Lane is making money, and all the houses are rented out, so they are in short supply.

According to the share agreed with the auxiliary country, Chen Gui sent this quarter's harvest a few days ago.

These harvests will not be included in the public account. Although Mrs. Chen felt that it was not necessary, the old lady and Lin Yunyan had already agreed on it. She would not carelessly talk about it as a person in charge of money. She found another reliable account name and exchanged the banknotes. They were all handed over to Xiao Duan for safekeeping.

Holding the banknote in my hand, I felt much more at ease.

Xiao Duan also discussed with Lin Yunyan that the banknotes were easier to carry, but in reality, it was most practical to exchange them for gold.

Li Cuna and other people, in the end, they also save gold bricks.

It's a pity that the person is gone, the gold is not taken away, and the gold is not left to the young son.

Lin Yunyan also likes gold and likes to collect gold separately.

Eggs cannot be in one basket.

They were buried under the Shenghui Pavilion, and the rest had to be hidden elsewhere to avoid being caught in a pot when trouble came.

With plenty of cash on hand, Mr. Duan became more confident in planning the marriages of his two granddaughters.

Lin Yu went to ventilate his breath first, and asked Yu Pu to privately invite Mr. Jing Qianjing from the Hanlin Academy to be a matchmaker and to preside over the groom's wedding ceremony.

Jing Hanlin had been an official for many years and had a good personal relationship with Lin Yu. Among the new batch of concubines, Yu Pu was the one he was most optimistic about.

Hearing that Yu Pu was planning to marry the eldest daughter of the Chengyi Mansion, Mr. Jing was surprised and sighed, and accepted the matter with a smile.

Before the horoscope came out, both parties kept silent. It was not until the result came out that the news spread.

After Yu Pu entered the Yamen, he received a circle of congratulations one after another, and his face was red all morning.

Of course, there are not without doubts, but the voices are all behind the scenes.

There really isn’t any colleague who looks up but doesn’t look down, who dares to say something unpleasant to his face if he or she wants to be the target or someone’s target.

Yu Pu had heard some rumors.

If he climbs a high branch, it will definitely not be pleasant to discuss. Some people will accuse him of scheming, and some will be jealous.

Jing Hanlin wanted to comfort Yu Pu for this, but found that it was useless.

It goes in through the left ear and out through the right ear, and it’s fine if Yu Pu has heard it.

"If you anticipate, you will also be prepared," Yu Pu said clearly, "I know what I am like. Uncle Chengyi and Miss Lin know what I am like, that's enough."

Jing Hanlin couldn't agree more with these two sentences.

With this kind of character and reality, it’s no wonder that I got this opportunity.

Turning around, Jing Hanlin praised Lin Yu again in private.

When a matchmaker talks about marriage, some people do it well, and of course there are also people who do it badly. If life is really difficult in the future, generally speaking, the matchmaker will not be involved.

But now that he has stepped forward to protect the matchmaker, who can't help but look forward to a happy marriage in which he proclaims his marriage?

It is the most boring thing for a group of officials to brag about their achievements in officialdom when they meet in the future. The better their official career is, the more modest they have to be. If they want to brag, they can only brag about the achievements of their children and grandchildren. Apart from this, the best ones are undoubtedly " Protect the media”.

It guarantees a good marriage. When you go out to have tea as a guest, everyone in the family will take a high look and feel happy.

Jing Hanlin thought that this time, he should be able to secure a good relationship.

Being so active, things were done quickly. Jing Hanlin almost pushed for the marriage and discussed it with the Lin family several times.

Everything else is actually easy to handle, the only thing missing is Yu Pu’s family background.

"Add more money to the bottom of the box," Mr. Duan discussed with several daughters-in-law. "If we don't do it openly, we won't have to send betrothal gifts in the same way as my uncle. They will also have more money in the future."

Mrs. Chen naturally had no objection, but Mr. Huang hesitated to look at Mr. Duan.

Mrs. Huang is not dissatisfied with the old lady's decision. It can even be said that she is very grateful to the old lady for her consideration.

Because of this, she was even more worried about the old lady.

Betrothal gifts and dowries are all "face".

Huang could almost imagine what those long-tongued people would say.

"Be stingy."

"It's true that he is the son of a concubine. No matter how nice his words are, when it comes to real money and silver, he will settle the score so clearly."

"I ruined my marriage once and almost lost my money. It would be nice to have a place to go. Are you still pointing out the old woman to spend a lot of money?"

"Send it early and make good calculations early. Duke Xu's mansion spends a lot of money, and Uncle Chengyi's mansion also needs to accompany him a lot. Now that he is a poor Jinshi, he may come and go, maybe he will lose less."

"In the final analysis, I just don't feel bad. You can see how she will talk to her granddaughter about the marriage later."

The old lady has such a shameless and skinny temper, and being talked about like that is so heartbreaking.

The more he thought about it, the more Mrs. Huang felt sympathy for Mr. Duan.

At this time, the persuasion and relief were all nonsense, and reasonableness was just getting an advantage and acting obediently. Huang Ming couldn't help but hesitate to speak for a while.

Lin Yunyan was sitting next to Xiao Duan, and she could tell what she was thinking by looking at her second aunt's expression.

"We should be more generous," Lin Yunyan smiled, "The days are long, and Shujishi has to take one step at a time if he wants to make a future.

Mr. Yu and his parents and elders in his hometown must be filial. Since we are sincerely marrying him, we must support him not only in dowry but also in life in the future.

All the things that can be solved with money are small things. If small things go smoothly, big things will go more smoothly.

When Mr. Yu goes up in the future and it is prosperous, they will know that you can do business. "

Little Mrs. Duan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's a 'deal'? I married my granddaughter seriously, but you said I became a human trafficker."

Lin Yunyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Make a fortune in silence."

These five words really fit Xiao Duan's heart.

She is not stupid, and she also knows what rumors will arise from choosing such a grandson-in-law.

Does that sound upsetting?
That must be upsetting.

A year ago, she might not have been able to give up this face so happily, but Yun Yan was right, she lived her own life, whether it was good or bad, and her family could see how sincere she was.

After ten or twenty years, it will always prove that her choice today is wise, and that is enough.

When the time came, she went underground and met the old uncle, her elder sister Duan, Aunt Gu who gave birth to Yun Jing's father, as well as the ancestors of the Lin family and the Duan family. She had a clear conscience.

"Okay," Xiao Duan smiled lovingly, "We are waiting to make a fortune."

Hearing what the old lady said, Huang's anxious heart calmed down and she glanced at Lin Yunyan gratefully.

The princess was still clever and chose a suitable direction to express her meaning.

Because Yu Pu couldn't get many valuable things from him, he didn't need much time to prepare. Jing Hanlin discussed it and chose early October to release Xiaoding.

Another thing that makes Xiao Duan happy is that Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian's wedding date has been set.

The Empress Dowager chose November 28, which was the last suitable day to get married before the twelfth lunar month of the year.Xu Jian heard this news from the Holy Sage himself.

He was sitting in the imperial study room. Xu Jian couldn't help but froze when the emperor mentioned it.

The wedding date was "changed".

From spring next year to this winter, from now on, it will almost be shortened by half.

The reason must be that the little princess persuaded the empress dowager by talking about something.

It seemed that he had "underestimated" the little princess before.

It is still useful when the little princess is anxious.

Seeing that Xu Jian was dumbfounded and didn't speak, the Holy Master became amused and said, "What? The day is too urgent?"

"There's no rush," Xu Jian came to her senses, "I've been making preparations. I can make it in September, let alone November."

"The Empress Dowager is dissatisfied because Jiujiu is so rushed," the Holy Sage laughed, "I would like to have you get married earlier. Other families have chosen each other for their own sake and come to me to ask for my will. You are different from Ning'an. I took the initiative to grant the marriage. It is rare for me to be a matchmaker, so I wanted to do it earlier and drink a glass of wine from a great matchmaker."

Xu Jian respectfully thanked him.

Needless to say, Xu Jian knew in his heart that September was impossible.

September 25 is the death anniversary of the late empress, and also the death anniversary of Lin Yunyan’s mother.

As a very particular person like the Empress Dowager, Lin Yunyan would definitely avoid September when she leaves the cabinet. If she couldn't pick one in October, it would be a surprise to pick one at the end of November.

The Holy Spirit was in a good mood, so he talked to Xu Jian again.

"I heard that the King of Jin is looking for a good doctor for you?" The Holy Emperor asked, "How does your right leg feel lately? Have you asked the imperial doctor to take another look at it?"

Xu Jian said: "It's always been the same. Not long ago, I asked the judge to have a look at it."

The Holy Master nodded slightly.

Not only was An Hospital sentenced, but when Xu Jian returned to the capital after being injured, he sent almost the entire Imperial Hospital to Fu Guogong's Mansion. Unfortunately, the final result was not satisfactory.

The imperial doctors all expressed their helplessness, and Xu Jian remained passive for a while, then slowly accepted the injury.

The Holy Spirit himself accepted it after repeated inquiries.

It is a pity not to be able to guard the border, but Xu Jian is an all-rounder, and given time, he can make great achievements by staying in Beijing.

Rather than looking back and worrying about being hurt, it's better to look forward.

But if there is a chance for treatment, the Holy Spirit certainly hopes that he will get better.

A strong person will have more possibilities and directions for Xu Jian himself and for the people employed by the court. More importantly, Xu Jian's leg was injured because of Li Shao.

"Is there any news about the doctor?" The Holy Spirit asked again, "He will be unable to find the doctor for a long time, so I will send someone to look for him."

Xu Jian replied: "I heard that there has been some progress."

After hearing this, the Holy Spirit felt relieved.

After Yu Qian finished his reply, Xu Jian left the imperial study and walked slowly outside the palace gate.

There is indeed progress with King Jin. Two days ago, King Jin sent someone to send news, saying that they had learned about Doctor Yue's whereabouts.

This was much faster than Xu Jian expected.

King Jin seemed to have used all his strength to climb over the mountain to dig out Dr. Yue.

What surprised Xu Jian even more was that that afternoon, while he was still talking to Mr. Shan in Shuntian Mansion, Shen Chen came to send a message that the Jin King's people had arrived at Fuguogong Mansion.

Xu Jian hurried back to his home and met Dr. Yue.

The King of Jin himself did not come forward. The person who sent Doctor Yue over was his chamberlain.

In the flower hall, Eunuch Ye greeted Xu Jian and introduced them.

"I just heard about Dr. Yue's whereabouts. I didn't expect to see him so soon," Xu Jian smiled and told Eunuch Ye, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Ye responded to the words "hard work".

"As soon as they learned about their whereabouts, some people immediately returned to Beijing to report. The others did not dare to delay and followed the whereabouts to find the person. They were afraid that it would be late and Dr. Yue went to practice medicine elsewhere." Ye Gonggong said, "It was luck. I didn't miss it. We happened to meet him, so we rushed Dr. Yue to the capital. It’s a good thing that it’s a thousand-mile horse, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so fast.”

Xu Jian listened and turned to look at Dr. Yue.

This doctor was the same as Chen Gui described. He was in his fifties, with gray hair and beard, and sharp eyes.

"It's been a bumpy ride," Xu Jian asked, "Doctor Yue has suffered a lot at such an old age."

Doctor Yue cleared his throat: "Fortunately, I have been walking on mountain trails all year round, so my body can bear the stress. My lord, I want to take a look at your leg injury."

Xu Jian stood up and moved to the couch in the side hall.

No one else was there, and there was a steward waiting outside the hall. Xu Jian took off his boots, lifted up his robe, and took off the right side of his pants, revealing all the scars on his right leg.

Eunuch Ye saw Xu Jian's injuries clearly for the first time.

On the upper side of the knee, the darkest color is a wound as long as the index finger.

Doctor Yue observed the scar, stretched out his hand, pressed the area with his fingertips several times, and asked Xu Jian how he felt.

After a little diagnosis and questioning, he switched from his fingertips to his palms and pressed in several places. A thin layer of sweat formed on Xu Jian's forehead.

Eunuch Ye saw it in his eyes and thought that this must be painful.

He didn't understand this, just looking at the scars it seemed like this, but looking at the reaction, it was serious.

Doctor Yue finished the investigation and said in a solemn tone: "It's not just the bone injury, it also involves the tendons. The injury was not treated thoroughly at the beginning. Now that it has developed like this, it will be much more difficult to treat again. I dare not say that it is equivalent to another injury. But you also have to suffer.”

Xu Jian chuckled. This diagnosis result was within his expectation.

Or rather, that's how he judged it.

"According to what Dr. Yue said, are you sure it can be cured?" Xu Jian asked.

“I can’t say I’m [-]% sure, but it’s worth trying,” Dr. Yue said. “Acupuncture, combined with my unique plaster, and daily medicinal baths for a year or two, can prevent your right leg from getting damaged. It hurts when it's cold, but it can also make you feel energetic."

When Eunuch Ye heard this, he was busy congratulating him.

He said a lot of good things, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Duke Fu's expression was dull and showed no joy.

"You..." Eunuch Ye thought carefully and asked, "Do you have any concerns?"

Xu Jian straightened his clothes and after putting them away, he said, "I don't have concerns, but can Doctor Yue stay in the capital for a long time?"

"The Duke of Guo can use me, so I should do my best." Doctor Yue said.

Xu Jian said: "The leg injury has a big impact on me. I don't know how to treat it, how long to treat it, whether it is good or bad. I have to ask Dr. Yue to write a detailed explanation, and I will think about it again."

After hearing this, Doctor Yue glanced at Eunuch Ye.

When Eunuch Ye saw this, he said: "The Duke of the State is right. When treating injuries, safety is the first priority. There is nothing wrong with giving more consideration. The younger one has to go to the prince to recover his life..."

Xu Jian did not keep them longer and asked Xu Bai to send them away.

Shen Chen remained silent until the outsiders left, then asked softly: "Sir, is Dr. Yue really sure of this, or is he just saying it casually?"

Xu Jian curled her lips and gave another completely unrelated answer: "His surname is not Yue, and he is not 'Doctor Yue' as the Jingdong family calls him."
