Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 213
"Mr. Kou seems to be aging a lot recently. Last time I saw him at Mr. Li's place, when he was drinking, his hands were shaking, and he was no longer as strong as before."

The young master sighed, but his companions obviously paid more attention to Mr. Li and Mr. Li.

After all, since Mr. Li left the Jiaofang Division, he seldom came out to socialize. Only occasionally when entertaining a few bosom friends from other places, he would play the piano and sing songs as he pleased. Outsiders wanted to listen to the wonderful music, but it was not like before. Simple.

After hearing a few words, Su Tong found nothing new, but remembered that his father had dealt with Kaifeng Mansion a lot recently, and his relationship with Kou Zhen seemed to be okay.

As for Kou Yu, Su Tong learned a thing or two by the way when he was paying attention to the current affairs in Kaifeng. As for Axia, he paid more attention to him.

The main reason is that Axia likes to inquire about gossip.

The story of the Kou family is an interesting story in Kaifeng.

Kou Yu, courtesy name Cigong, was from Linru, Ruzhou. It is said that his mother dreamed that a god gave him a jewel, and then she became pregnant, and she conceived and gave birth to him in October.

Ancient people believed in ghosts and gods. Anyway, big names with names and surnames always had visions.
Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty also said that his great-grandfather dreamed that the moon fell into the water jar, and then a white turtle floated up from the water.

This is quite common, there are a lot of other strange legends, anyway, if you were born without a moon, the sun entered your mother's arms, there were no purple clouds and red clouds flying all over the sky, and there were no auspicious flowers blooming, then I'm afraid even you and your family will feel ashamed.

Kou Yu was able to spread such legends and convince the common people that, of course, he was not an ordinary person. Chen Mo can be called a best friend.

There was a math teacher in Su's school who was recommended by him, and he even paid for the travel expenses to Qingzhou, so Chen Mo didn't bother.

The group of housewives around A-Xia liked to discuss him, not only because he was born well, but because this kid wanted to exchange his wife's fief for his grandmother's fief.

Since his beginning, the imperial court has only granted the grandmother of an official.

Because of this matter, I don't know how many officials' wives have a little psychological shadow on him.

Although it is a kind of filial piety to grant the wife's fiefdom back to the grandmother, it is in accordance with the law of nature, and it should be done, but Kou Yu's wife, Guo Shi, raised children for him and took care of the housework. The court is considered developed, and the feudal land you get may disappear in a short while. When you go out to socialize, everyone else is Mrs. So-and-so, but when outsiders call her Mrs., she may have a bit of a bad name , and this kind of awkwardness, she absolutely can't say it out, if she dares to complain in a word, it is unfilial.

If his grandmother Wang is a reasonable woman and has a good relationship with his granddaughter-in-law, that's fine, Guo will be awkward for a while at most, so as not to cause trouble.

But the Wang family is not. Wang lost her husband in the early years, and then lost her son. There is only one grandson, Kou Yu, who worked hard to raise him. Love is like a treasure. Of course, he has higher requirements for his bride.

Guo's temperament is more gentle and virtuous, and she is a lady of everyone, while Wang's temperament is a bit rough. The two have always been at odds with each other. It's just that they have done a good job on the surface, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But as soon as this incident happened, the conflict between Guo and Wang broke out. It is said that Wang heard of Guo's complaints and asked Kou Yu to divorce his wife.

Guo Shi was also so angry that he vomited blood.

Kou Yu is a smart person, he didn't think for a moment that he was just asking for a seal for his grandmother, and it was an act of filial piety. It was a good thing, how could the troubles have come to this point, but the thing had already happened, so he had to solve it. Fortunately, the official read his book and gave grace to his grandmother. That was a good story and everyone was happy.

And this matter must be done quickly, and no rumors can spread, otherwise it will be bad for him in the future.

But Kou Yu was just a Jinshi at that time, and Jinshi was a great figure in the eyes of the common people. How could the emperor pay too much attention to it?
Zhenzong is not the official in front of him, at least he is not as troublesome as he is. A Jinshi asked to use his wife's fief to give back to his grandmother's book, and he didn't even read it.I don't know how many important national affairs are waiting for him to deal with. For such trivial matters, eunuchs will not hand over the papers to him.

Ding said Zheng was the prime minister, Kou Yu thought about it, and decided to find his way.

Kou Yu needs to be talented, talented, handsome, and good at talking. Ding Wei naturally hopes to have this promising party member.

Therefore, Kou Yu was able to confer the title of grandmother very smoothly, and his wife's fief was not lost. The officials paid more attention to him, and the Jinshi in the future also followed suit. In fact, this is also a bit of a one-person attainment, the meaning of chicken and dog ascending to heaven.

But even so, the relationship between Kou Yu's grandmother Wang and his wife Guo has not been very good, and there are often incidents of small and big troubles.

In a place like Kaifeng, Kou Yan is still the magistrate of Kaifeng. He has many friends and many enemies. The gossip about Fangzheng’s family and the quarrel between his grandmother and granddaughter-in-law are circulated three times a day.

Especially in recent years, when Kou Yu is mentioned, his first impression is that his house is restless.

Su Tong took a sip of his tea and smiled. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was only Ding Wei who broke the news, and his party members followed suit. There are many officials whose homes are restless. Why do people only target the Kou family?
Before finishing a cup of tea, A-Xia suddenly opened her eyes wide, pulled her hand and said with a smile: "Look below, are those guys Fu Dahu and Fu Erbao... Hey, are they bullying people again?"

Su Tong looked over and was also taken aback.There was a jade belt wrapped around Fu Erbao's left arm, and he was also holding a folding fan. The fan pendant under the fan was very delicate and beautiful. He was wearing a hat that was obviously not his, which was a circle bigger than his head. There is also a purse hanging on it. The purse is exquisitely crafted and has unique embroidery patterns, at least made by Su's embroiderer.

As for Fu Dahu, he has his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and he is lying on the table with great interest. Opposite him is a young man of about 20 years old, who is also lying on the table engrossed, his face is still flushed, and his eyes are focused. , the body is tense, obviously the spirit is very nervous.

"Go, go down and have a look."

A Xia pulled Su Tong down to watch. After watching for a while, she realized that Fu Dahu was fighting with someone.

At first, the kid fell in love with an ancient book owned by the boss next to him, and wanted to buy it as a gift, but he didn't have enough money, so he simply broke up with the boss.

Kaifeng Guanpu is popular, and merchants like it very much. Although it is not a festival such as New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Cold Food, the common people are closed and fluttering, but they don't care about the day.
