Chapter 239: Si Nanbo, the Pioneer of Equality (Forced Version)
After her father left, Lu Shuyan looked at her mother, "Mom, don't you have anything to say?"
Guan seemed to have not recovered from the shock yet. She was stunned for a while before holding her daughter's hand and asking her, "What kind of person is this Yuwen Mu? You can't just find someone randomly just to bribe him. Even if we don't talk about love affairs, at least his character should be acceptable."
"Mom, don't worry, he's a nice guy, and handsome. I'll let you meet him when he's on vacation someday."
"Okay, I'll wait. I originally wanted to divorce your father after you got married... But with Gao Shi here, he won't bother me anymore."
"Do you think father really likes Gao so much? Father allows a concubine to bully the Lu family, but I won't. Mother, isn't Chaolu, who serves in the study in the front yard, trying to make a career for herself? Just give her a hand, and then you can see if father still remembers Gao."
"Okay, I'll listen to you and do it tomorrow."
The next day, everyone in the Lu family knew that the uncle had drunk too much and favored a maid in the study. Fortunately, the lady was kind-hearted. Not only did she not punish the maid, she also made her a concubine. That night, countless broken porcelain pieces were swept out of Gao's yard.
Lu Shuyan was unwilling to force an innocent woman to be abused by her father, but if she had the intention, she might as well give her a chance.
Chaolu is only seventeen years old this year. While Guan was cursing Sinanbo for being shameless in her heart, she was also preparing a banquet for him to take a concubine. This was arranged by Lu Shuyan's mother. When Gao entered the mansion, she entered in a small sedan chair. There was no banquet at all. This time, Chaolu not only prepared a banquet, but Lu Shuyan also asked someone to invite a troupe of actors.
When Gao came to her senses and wanted to talk to Uncle Si Nan about their old relationship, she found that she couldn't even see Uncle Si Nan. As expected, Uncle Si Nan had immediately forgotten about Gao after he got married.
——November 26, morning court.
"I received a memorial two days ago, which really surprised me... Si Nanbo, can you tell me why you want to confer the title of Princess?"
The ministers below were all furious. They had only heard of a crown prince, but what was a crown princess? What was Si Nanbo trying to do? Only Taifu He looked up at the golden roof. Haha, a crown princess scared you to death. Who knows, there might be a crown princess in the future. This must scare you to death. Then Taifu He wanted to fight again. There was a female official and a crown princess. Now their Dazhao would definitely be famous in history. But I don't know if He Xiangru's name would be remembered.
Si Nanbo stood up despite himself. Why? He couldn't say that his daughter forced him to do it, right?
However, Si Nanbo was very good at flattering himself, so he paused for a moment and then said passionately: "My wife and I have only one daughter, and we have loved her like a treasure since she was young, and educated her like a boy. The emperor is wise and only selects people based on their talents, regardless of gender. That's why I had this idea. My daughter is smart and much better than her two brothers, so I asked for her to be named the Crown Princess."
If someone was not familiar with Si Nanbo, they would probably praise him after hearing what he said.
The emperor smiled and said, "Si Nanbo's words make sense. Very good! I agree to this matter."
This time he was really praised by the emperor, but Si Nanbo felt very complicated... He could only comfort himself that his move was unprecedented and people in future generations would probably remember him.
Today is the opening day of Shen Yuan's clinic. The father and son of the Shen family and Xie Hui all took leave in advance. Shen Yun and Xie Hui left the palace together after the morning court and went to Shen Yuan's clinic. Because Shen Yu was busy in the Ministry of Personnel, he could only wait until the auspicious time was approaching.
Shen Yuan, his grandmother, and his sister-in-law arrived at the clinic early in the morning and checked the clinic inside and out to make sure there were no omissions.
"Manman, this is my sister-in-law's first time here. You did a great job! My Manman is really amazing."
"That's right! I haven't been working in vain these days."
Old Madam Shen said with a smile: "Yingniang, please stop praising her. If you continue to praise her, she will be in big trouble."
Afterwards, Princess Kangle, He's mother, Shen Yun and Xie Hui, Shen Su, Lu Shuyan, Yan Siyu, Jiang Yunyi and others also arrived one after another.
It was three quarters past the hour of Si, an auspicious time. Shitou and Mutou set off two long strings of firecrackers in the air, which immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
After setting off the firecrackers, Shen Yuan removed the red cloth covering the plaque in full view of everyone.
The plaque of the clinic is simple, with only three words "Female Doctor's Hall" written on it.
Shen Yuan stood on the stairs, under the plaque, and said loudly: "Female Doctor's Hall, only female doctors are in office, and only female patients are received. Our doctors, in addition to treating illnesses, are also good at regulating qi and blood, and maintaining beauty. Anyone who has ideas can come in and take a look. There are number plates here. Within the first 100 people who get a number every day during the three days of opening, the pulse will be checked for free."
Shen Su, who was standing in front of him, sighed proudly: "Our family is full, we are really capable."
For a while, the people on the road were still watching, but there were still many people coming in today. Princess Kangle did not come alone, but also brought many noble ladies with her. Originally, these ladies came here just to give face to Princess Kangle, and they bought a portion of every weight loss medicine pack and beauty cream sold in the clinic to show their support.
Princess Kang Le said to the ladies, "I've used this powder cream first. If it didn't work, I wouldn't have asked you to come. If you buy it back and find it useful, please come and show your support."
"Of course, since the princess said it's good, it must be good. Miss Shen is really capable. She can open such a big clinic at such a young age. The princess doesn't know, but we all say in private that we are really jealous of you. You decided on such a good girl so early, and didn't give others any chances."
"Of course. How can I let you see such a good girl? If you see her, you will definitely snatch her away from me."
Zhou Zhongan's mother, Madam Zhou, also smiled and said, "Don't mention you. I've seen the princess these past few days, and I haven't heard her leak a single word."
"Who told you that you have a son? Isn't this just to protect you?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
After the ladies had bought their things and left, Shen Yuan smiled and thanked the princess, "Aunt, thank you so much."
"We are all family, why should I say thank you? Why did you open this clinic? Auntie has heard from Youqi that Manman is really amazing! What those ladies said today was right. If I hadn't chosen Manman early, I don't know how many people would have competed with me for such a good girl. It was a good opportunity for that silly boy Youqi."
Princess Kangle glanced at the door. Her silly boy was serving as the door god. He was far inferior to his father. He was just handsome, but she didn't mind him despite his loss.
"Aunt, Brother Youqi is a good guy. He is not a fool, but... a smart and handsome boy!"
Princess Kang Le looked at her son again, hmm... a lucky silly boy.
