The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 174 Sending a child to accompany you to read

Lan Yu really wanted a son. After getting the secret method from Chen Jingke, she strictly implemented it every day.

I stopped having sex, stopped drinking, and started to learn to control my temper.

Start by practicing with the servant.

When he smiled at the servant, his stiff face was really a bit ferocious, and the servant was paralyzed with fear.

It took me several days to learn to be kind.

When I go out, I change my previous domineering attitude and become very low-key.

I also learned to take the initiative to make way for ordinary people.

My attitude towards my subordinates has also become more kind and I know how to care about them.

This change was really unaccustomed to many people, and they almost thought he was possessed by an innocent spirit.

But he couldn't explain it well.

Although he believed that Chen Jingke would not lie to him, he was still skeptical about how effective this secret method would be.

If it doesn't work, you can easily become a laughing stock by doing this.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for everyone to gradually believe that Yongchang Hou Lanyu had changed his temper.

And everyone also gave reasons.

At the celebration banquet, he was scolded by his grandson and asked to change his mind.

This is the most reasonable explanation.

Then, Zhu Xiongying didn't do anything, and he became a little more legendary.

The celebration banquet dismissed Yongchang Hou and made him change his mind.

Lan Yu didn't explain. Let's just misunderstand. It's better than being laughed at.

People outside are easy to deal with, but home is the most torturous place.

He has many concubines.

After going to Yunnan to fight for two and a half years, these concubines have been living widows for two and a half years.

I finally got the man back, but I haven't tasted the sweetness yet, so I'm abstaining from sex.

At first, they suspected that Lan Yu was injured and could no longer be treated humanely.

But it soon became apparent that it didn't.

Not only not, but it seems that the desire in that regard is still very strong.

At every turn, there is a pillar holding up the sky.

And the look in his eyes when he looks at women shows that he is very eager for women.

But why don't you want to touch it?

Could it be that there is something psychologically wrong?

The concubines were anxious now.

Lan Yu has been wondering whether she should find a doctor.

Lan Yu also knows her own suffering.

It is said that a man's desire will decrease with age.

It is true that he is almost fifty, and the demand in this area is indeed not as high as before.

But after being a monk for two and a half years, he also wanted to meet his physiological needs.

Especially after taking the medicine provided by Chen Jingke, he felt as if a fire was burning in his lower abdomen.

The fever made his blood boil.

When he sees a woman, his eyes will glow green.

In the past, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

But when he thought of Chen Jingke's instructions, he endured it abruptly.

For the sake of my son, I will hold on for a month.

He had also doubted whether the medicine Chen Jingke gave him had an aphrodisiac effect?

So I quietly asked the doctor about it.

The doctor told him that the legendary aphrodisiac did not exist.

There are aphrodisiacs, but they don't have this effect.

This condition is obviously just nourishing and is not harmful to the body.

Lan Yu felt relieved and continued to endure it.

Counting the days day by day, I finally got through a month.

But he himself was a little timid, fearing that because of his old age, the medicine would not be effective enough to give birth to a son.

He forced himself to carry it for ten more days, until he finished the medicine prescribed to him by Chen Jingke, and then he slept with several concubines.

This made those long-hungry concubines extremely happy, and they tried all kinds of tricks to please him.

After two months of this, Lan Yu felt that her body could no longer bear it, and she felt terrified when she saw a woman.

Just when he was about to ask Chen Jingke about the situation, two concubines said that Tiankui had not arrived.

As someone who has been there, he knows exactly what is going on.

I quickly called in several doctors to come over for diagnosis and treatment, and finally I was sure that I was pregnant.

But Lan Yu was so happy that she immediately ran to the ancestral hall to announce the good news to her ancestors.

I didn’t forget to return my wish to heaven.

Everyone in the Lan Mansion was naturally beaming with joy.

It didn't take long for word to spread.

General Lan has had no income for more than ten years. When he was nearly fifty, two of his concubines suddenly became pregnant, which naturally became news.

Everyone who sees him should come up and say congratulations.

If you have a good relationship, you will ask what is going on?

How come you got two at once?

There were even some unpleasant rumors.

Lan Yu has a straightforward temperament. She was afraid of being laughed at before, so she didn't dare to reveal the news for several months.

After finally seeing the results this time, he couldn't bear it anymore and revealed the secret method.

He also specifically requested: "This is a secret. I only told you because we have a good relationship. You must not tell others."

As a result, soon everyone in the circle of dignitaries knew about it.

Chen Jingke, the grandson's companion, has a secret method in his hand that can give birth to a son.

This news became the hottest topic nowadays, surpassing innovation for a time.

Everyone is skeptical about having a son.

But the fact that it can give birth to children should not be false.

After all, Sapphire is a living example.

Since the birth of her only daughter Lan Yanmin, she has had nothing to do for fourteen years.

After taking Chen Jingke's medicine, two concubines became pregnant in succession.

This cannot be faked.

Regardless of whether these two are sons, there is hope for them to be born.

So many people want to ask for a secret method, don't worry, don't use it, just be prepared.

Then Chen Jingke discovered that his popularity improved instantly.

Regardless of whether there was any relationship before, or whether there was any disharmony before, when you see him now, you always greet him with a smile.

Very polite.

For a while, he couldn't adapt.

He also took the time to look at Lan Yu's side and found out that two of his concubines were indeed pregnant.

A concubine named Sun is still an advanced maternal age, almost forty years old.

Chen Jingke specifically asked to find two experienced ladies to serve him at any time.

In gratitude to Lan Yu, he accepted everything as ordered.

Although it was a lie to give birth to a son, he was able to get two concubines pregnant in succession because of the medicine and oysters he prescribed.

As for whether there are men among these two children, it's really hard to say.

But the probability of having a male should not be low.

If both of them are women, it can only be said that Lan Yu is destined to have no children.

Having said that, if one of them was actually a man, his hat as a miracle doctor would be more stable.

From now on, no matter where you go or who you meet, you must be polite to yourself.

Of course, he didn’t forget to tell Lan Yu:

"Marquis Yongchang, don't forget your oath."

Lan Yu's expression was extremely serious: "Chen Bandu, don't worry, Lan Yu would rather die than betray his oath."

If he had doubts about the oath at the beginning, he was convinced now.

Not only did he abide by his oath, but he also strictly restrained his family members from misbehaving.

Otherwise, once discovered, don't blame him for being rude.

Now the Lan family is a benevolent family among the rich and powerful.

Chen Jingke was very pleased. Lan Yu could be said to be the most core force in the lineage of the prince and grandson.

I was worried before that this guy would always cause trouble because of his arrogance and domineering attitude, and it would be difficult to deal with it if it caused a big mess.     As a result, I pinched my weak spots to death.

The biggest worry is also relieved.

At this time, Lan Yu said with some embarrassment: "Um...Chen Bandu, can you give me some more secret medicine?"

Chen Jingke looked at Lan Yu's dark, tired face and said seriously:

"Yongchanghou, temperance."

“Sometimes being too pushy can backfire.”

Lan Yu said with shame: "Thank you Chen Bandu for reminding me, I know."

After that, the two chatted for a while about military reform, and Chen Jingke said goodbye and left.

Lan Yu personally sent him out of the gate and returned happily only after his figure disappeared.

After leaving Lan Yu, Chen Jingke wanted to go home and have a look.

Just from afar, I saw a long queue at the door of my medical clinic.

Just when I was wondering, I saw a few people running towards their drug store.

As he ran, he said, "Hurry up, that's the pharmacy where I send my son to be with you. Let's get in line quickly."

Okay, no need to ask, Chen Jingke already knows the reason.

What else could he say to this? Don't go back home, go to the palace.

Returning to the side hall of Qianqing Palace, I found that everyone was gathered here to play.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were also there.

Seeing him coming back, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:

"Have you returned from sending your son to study? How is the situation at Lan Yu's place?"

It caused everyone to burst into laughter.

However, everyone's attitude towards him was completely different. Zhu Yuanzhang and others who knew the truth were just making fun of him.

Everyone who didn't know the truth felt a little more in awe.

After all, this is the person who has mastered the secret method of giving birth to a boy.

Princess Fuqing looked at Chen Jingke quietly, not knowing what she was thinking of.

Just a pair of beautiful eyes with excitement and a bit of shyness on her cheeks.

Chen Jingke was speechless and could only say:

"It's okay, the two concubines are pregnant."

"If I'm not too unlucky, I should be able to give birth to a son."

Zhu Yuanzhang said jokingly: "If he can really give birth to a son, your reputation as a good companion to his son will be confirmed."

"When the time comes, when everyone wants to have a child, they will no longer go to the empress who gave birth to the child, but will worship you instead."

Empress Ma added: "I think someone will make the statue of Jing Ke into an accessory and wear it with them."

"Or maybe putting his picture on the bedside."

Chen Jingke imagined that scene in his mind and couldn't help but feel a chill.

His goal is to live in the upcoming Sage Temple one day in the future, instead of appearing at the bedside of the couple.

After that everyone started chatting.

The topic easily came up, Chen Jingke and Princess Fuqing.

Chen Jingke doesn't care. He's an experienced driver and he's still worried about what others will say?

It's just that Princess Fuqing is thin-skinned, and she blushes so much that she doesn't dare to look up when someone teases her.

However, everyone also knew the rules, so they just made a few jokes and let her go.

The topic turned to children's marriage.

Zhu Yuanzhang said thoughtfully: "Lanyu's daughter is thirteen this year, and she should get married in two years."

"Chun'er is the same age as her, what do you think of them two?"

Empress Ma nodded and said, "I know that girl Lan Yanmin. She has lost her mother since she was a child, and Lan Yu has been fighting outside all year round. She is much more sensible than her peers."

"Although he is lacking in knowledge, he is definitely a good hand at running a household."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What should a woman do with such profound knowledge? She can manage a household and be able to support her husband and educate her children."

"Make a note of this in advance. Let's talk to Lan Yu about it another day."

By saying this, he actually confirmed the marriage.

As long as the birth dates and horoscopes match up, the matter will be considered a success.

Empress Ma also had no objection. Lan Yu was a member of the prince's grandson's party, and Zhu Chun was a member of Zhu Xiongying's inner circle.

Marrying each other can strengthen the power of one's eldest grandson.

Others have long been accustomed to this. It is not uncommon for the emperor to confirm the marriage of powerful people while talking and laughing.

What everyone is more interested in is how Zhu Chun would react if he knew he had an extra daughter-in-law.

Anyway, everyone is very happy, and they have another target for fun.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not stay here for long. He quickly got up and went to the main hall to handle government affairs.

Chen Jingke also stood up and followed him, telling him about his plans to study metaphysics.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "So this is your back-up plan. This method is good."

"Kicking out the disobedient ones will make everyone understand your importance without causing any resentment... It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone."

"Okay, let's do it, we agree."

Chen Jingke said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although he obtained Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, Chen Jingke did not act immediately.

If you want to study morphology, you need more accurate length measurement tools.

Chen Jingke needs to develop a set of tools first.

Rulers, set squares, protractors, etc. were all produced.

By the way, I also took out the vernier caliper.

In his previous life, a caliper from Wang Mang's period was unearthed, which is one of the reasons why he was nicknamed a time traveler.

But calipers and vernier calipers are not the same.

Chen Jingke came up with this, which is a standard vernier caliper.

In addition to measuring tools, he also made pens.

Writing math with a brush is still bearable.

Drawing with this thing is really a difficult task.

The fountain pen that Chen Jingke made is in the style of dipping ink.

What is wrapped inside the nib is not the feed, but a small open container.

Dip it in the ink and the small container will be filled with ink.

The ink flows along the reserved gap to the pen tip, and words can be written.

When the ink in the small container is used up, just dip it in again.

Still more convenient.

As for the unit of length, he did not adopt the metric system of his previous life, such as centimeters, decimeters, meters, kilometers and so on.

Instead, a group of more suitable ones were extracted from the ancient Chinese weights and measures units:

Centimeter, millimeter, minute, inch, ruler, zhang, etc.

All are decimal, ten centimeters equals one millimeter, ten centimeters equals one cent, and so on.

But for this unit, Chen Jingke had a headache.

In the Ming Dynasty, one mile was one hundred and eighty feet, which is not a decimal system and is very inconvenient to calculate.

After much deliberation, he suddenly expanded the length to two hundred feet.

In this way, half a mile is one hundred feet, which can be regarded as a hundred feet.

Of course, this method can only be used in a small circle of arithmetic for the time being. When the influence of arithmetic expands in the future, it will not be too late to promote it nationwide.

After all this was done, he found Cheng Yimin with the tools he had made and the metaphysics book he had written.

Cheng Yimin was very surprised by his arrival:

"Chen Bandu, why are you here?"

But his eyes were fixed on the package held in Chen Jingke's hand.

Chen Jingke did not whet his appetite and opened the package directly:

"Let's see how this book goes and whether it can attract people in mathematics to join."

Cheng Yimin excitedly picked up the book on morphology and was stunned for a moment when he opened it.

The characters on this have very thin lines and small fonts.

Standard teeny tiny print.

It doesn't look like it was written with a brush, but more like it was written with a needle.

However, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but immersed himself in reading the contents of the book.
