Chapter 330: Fortune and Happiness
The old man had woken up and seemed to have taken the medicine. When he saw them come in, he smiled weakly.
Xinbao looked at his face carefully, sniffed the medicine bowl, and then said to him seriously: "Grandpa, your illness is similar to my grandfather's, but there are some differences. Your illness is mainly caused by eating too much salty and oily food, and drinking too much wine... and then you work too hard, which makes you prone to illness. The medicine prescribed by this doctor is not very good, hmm..."
She hesitated a little and looked at Yan Shenjue. Yan Shenjue said, "Are you going to Longmen County?"
The old man whispered, "Yes."
Yan Shenjue's eyes swept over them before he said, "When you get to Longmen County, you can go to Yutang Village and look for a man named Yuan Erye. He has emergency medicine and daily medicine..."
The old man suddenly became a little excited.
He asked, "Yutang Village? There is a county lord of Jishan in Yutang Village. What is his relationship with you?"
Yan Shenjue interrupted and asked, "What do you want?"
The old man said anxiously: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person, I am..." He hesitated: "I'm just curious and want to ask."
Yan Shenjue looked at him carefully, but slowly relaxed his guard and said, "Xinbao, tell me, it's okay."
Xinbao said, "It's my dad!!"
The old man looked even more excited: "Is he your father? That Jishan County Earl, Tang Qingshan, is your father?"
Xinbao nodded: "Yes!"
"Good boy," the old man smiled, "what's your name?"
"My name is Xinbao."
"Xinbao, your father...I mean, can you tell me about your father?"
Xinbao's eyes rolled as he said, "My daddy is the best daddy in the world. He is tall, thin, handsome, smart, honest, and steady. His hands are big, warm, and clever, and his voice is sweet and melodious. My daddy is perfect, without any flaws."
Tuanzi is also a man with his own thoughts. It sounds like he has said everything, but in fact he has said nothing.
The old man didn't notice it and just laughed. Yan Shenjue said, "If you go to Longmen County, you will see him. Xinbao, let's go."
Xinbao then bowed and said, "Good night, grandpa."
She came out, and Yan Shenjue picked her up casually. Tuanzi looked back from his shoulder and saw Lu Tu looking at her at the door.
Yan Chenjue pondered for a moment.
You have to know that Tang Qingshan did not tell Lin Niangzi and Tuanzi in detail about the speculation about his life experience. The only people in the family who knew about it were Tang Qingshan and his second brother. Since even they themselves didn't know who he was, they had no idea where to start.
He didn't know much about these people from the capital's noble families, but he had heard from his senior brothers that Tang Qingshan looked like the Grand Commander.
He had never met the Grand Commander, but he had heard that most of the servants employed by the Grand Commander were of military origin.
The old man just now, although old, a little fat, and with a kind face, still had something different about him that was different from ordinary people. He thought that maybe he was someone from the Grand Marshal's Office, and they came here just to investigate this matter.
He guessed right.
At this moment, the old man... Xiao Ren, the steward of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, was extremely excited.
Butler Xiao was given the surname Xiao by his master. He was the deputy general of the old prince and was also half-master of Xiao Tai. Later, he was wounded on the battlefield and retired from the army. He has been staying in the Grand Marshal's Mansion ever since.
Xiao Tai was sure that he had no younger brother, but if it was just a farmer who looked like him, then no matter how good or bad this farmer was, the emperor would never call him into the palace and "specifically" tell him this gossip.
Therefore, there must be some things that the emperor is reluctant to say or cannot say, but are very important.
Therefore, this farmer must not be an ordinary farmer. At least the emperor thinks that he should have some relationship with their family.
You know, the Grand Commander's Mansion is now looking forward to having children, and they are almost going crazy. The old prince is still guarding the border at an old age. Xiao Tai doesn't say it, but how can he not be anxious and angry? The officials in the capital always say that the Grand Commander has a violent temper. It's really easy to talk without feeling any pain. He detained a brave general at home to give birth to a child for 20 years. Who wouldn't be violent in this situation? But his father couldn't do it for him, and he couldn't give birth himself. It was still this kind of... How to say it, passing on the family line, involving the dignity of men, Xiao Tai was really anxious and really aggrieved.
So, even though this matter sounded completely bizarre and inexplicable, Xiao Tai still wrote a letter to his father in a hurry and sent people to Longmen County to investigate.
Then Butler Xiao volunteered to come over.
Although he looks amiable now, he was also a fierce general in his past who loved to drink and eat meat. I didn't expect that he would get sick on the way here and was saved by the young master. This is fate!
Yes, now Xinbao has become his little master in his heart.
Xiao Ren couldn't wait any longer and asked Lu Tu to write a letter to the old lady... The loyal old housekeeper burst into tears before he could say a word: "It must be! This must be the child of our palace! This child looks too much like a grown-up girl!"
He wiped away his tears and said, "Madam, this girl also has lip beads and ear beads, exactly the same as the eldest girl! I saw it clearly! I saw it clearly!!"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
In fact, Empress Xiao had a dignified and bright appearance, with pearls between her lips and earlobes. This was a look that indicated great fortune and nobleness. When she was very young, she was often stopped by monks and Taoists when she went out. They said that she had two pearls on her body, a noble face, and good fortune, so her maiden name was Xiao Ruyi.
And Xinbao has a cute look, and even when she grows up, she will probably still be cute, but if we only talk about the lip beads and ear beads, they are indeed similar, and it is indeed not very common.
Butler Xiao wrote a letter overnight and sent someone to deliver it back to the capital at full speed.
A few days later, Old Madam Xiao received the letter.
The old lady was so excited that she forced Xiao Tai to take leave to go and take a look.
Xiao Tai was speechless. He thought to himself, what's the use of him going there? He's not his son, so his father has to go to see him, right? But if a general wants to move, he has to ask for leave. It's not easy for his father to ask for leave, so he has to go.
So Xiao Tai went to the palace privately and quietly asked for leave from Emperor Mingpei. But when he was leaving the palace, people from the East Palace came to stop him again... Xiao Tai simply pushed them away and secretly left the capital.
Xiao Tai has a bad temper, but he has always loved the prince. This is the first time that Xiao Tai has rejected the invitation from the Eastern Palace.
The prince had originally planned to bow his head and say a few soft words to him, but when he didn't come, he became a little panicked.
He is not very smart, but he is not stupid either. He knows that his only bargaining chip is his uncle.
He had no ambition and never thought about becoming an emperor, but the eunuch before did wake him up. He was the prince! ! If he didn't become the emperor, no matter which brother became the emperor, he would not be able to be well fed and well cared for like Emperor Mingpei! He would die! !
So he can't let!!
At this time, the prince did not realize that he had already lost this opportunity. His mind was full of what the servants around him said.
Yes, as long as Emperor Mingpei is alive, he will still be the crown prince!
He is the crown prince! Apart from the emperor, he is the most powerful! He is also the emperor!
So, why should he ask his uncle for help? Xiao Luzi and the others said that scholars have the most rules, and they will not disobey him! ! The prince was stimulated by Xiao Tai's refusal. He mustered up his courage and went directly out of the palace and went to the prime minister's residence.
