Chapter 107 107 The only option left is to forgive.
Xianyu's assignment sounds very serious, but it is actually no secret. It is just the construction project of the medical center.
This type of large-scale, comprehensive infrastructure project is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it would take at least three to five years to complete.
Xianyu originally planned to divide this construction project into several phases.
She has plenty of time and wants to make it a long-term, high-quality project. She is not in a rush and the main thing is to control the quality.
After all, it is a public welfare project that benefits the country and the people. If Xianyu doesn't do a good job, she feels that she can't get over it with her conscience. Even though she is lazy and afraid of trouble, she can still do this kind of great thing that benefits the people occasionally.
Of course, the key point is that Master Kong is very supportive.
With the strong support and full support from Master Kong, the construction of this medical museum is basically a national-level public welfare project. It would be unreasonable if we didn't put in a little effort.
Moreover, Master Kong not only gave money for the infrastructure of this project, but also gave a lot of rewards to Xianyu, one of the project leaders - he really gave too much, and it felt like it would be too unfair to him if I didn't do something good.
In short, Xianyu is completing this task for Master Kong very seriously.
There is no reason not to work hard, either in public or in private.
After being betrothed to the Fourth Prince this time, she had one more reason to work hard, that is, to work under orders...
Think about it, Master Kang has given a solemn promise and personally ordered her to get the job done, so she must make good use of it and delay the time of marrying the Fourth Master!
What a joke!
That's the legendary Four Great Uncles.
Is she really going to pair up with the fourth uncle because she has nothing better to do?
Thank you, but no, she wants to live two more years.
Anyway, Master Kang said that she was still young and there was no need to rush into marriage. In order to make it up to the Fourth Master, he even suggested that he first find him two older concubines - this was a common thing for the princes, the eldest prince, the crown prince, and the third prince were all like this.
The Fourth Prince in history was also like this.
Later, Concubine Qi Li entered the palace as the fourth prince's concubine, and gave birth to several princes and princesses, but none of them survived. However, this is enough to show that it is the basic practice of the royal family to marry one or two concubines or concubines for the princes first, and then choose a legitimate wife for the wedding.
Therefore, Xianyu didn't feel anything about this at all, and even felt vaguely relieved - who would family members understand? It's that feeling of not having to worry about anything and being able to have fun without any worries.
No matter what, she has taken the position of the Fourth Master's legitimate wife. If he is not allowed to marry a few concubines, concubines, or princesses, that would be too much - they are just partners, and she is willing to be the most virtuous legitimate wife, sincerely, really.
However, what is strange is that in the face of Master Kang's proposal and Xianyu's approval, the fourth uncle actually refused.
No, what we mean is, aren't teenagers aged 17 or 18 supposed to be very curious, even fanatical, about that kind of thing?
Why is it that Fourth Uncle is different? Is he really mature beyond his years? Well, isn’t he a little too mature?
Xianyu was confused, but she expressed her doubts without any ambiguity. Because she was too straightforward and explicit, the Fourth Prince's face turned black, while Master Kang's face turned red - this was not because of anger, but because he was holding it in.
The main thing is that it's really funny, whether it's the fourth brother rejecting his good intentions to marry a concubine in order to show his deep affection and loyalty, or the little girl from the Wang family being ignorant and bold, imagining whether the fourth brother has some kind of problem...
Oh no, I really can’t think about it anymore. If I think about it again, I’m afraid I’ll laugh out loud.
It seems that the fourth child and the little girl from the Wang family will be a pair of bickering lovers in the future. Wouldn't that be a lot of fun to watch? Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.
Oh, the main thing is that he, the emperor, looks happy and full of expectations, while the fourth brother is probably calling him his enemy in his heart.
But what else can we do?
Who told you to like it!
I can only choose to forgive.
It just so happens that the little girl is still too young. After a year or two, when she grows up a few years, she will definitely be fine.
Master Kong was very confident about this, but even he did not expect that he would have to wait for six years.
The little girl grew from thirteen to nineteen, and the fourth child grew from eighteen to twenty-four.
The two of them seemed to be competing with each other, and neither of them was willing to bring up the idea of marriage first.
Xianyu did it mainly for her career (fog), while the Fourth Prince tearfully said that of course he also did it for his career.
Building a medical museum is really a huge project.
At first, Xianyu just wanted to establish a medical university.
Later, I found that the medical conditions of this era were really too bad. Even a small cold could be fatal, and even heatstroke could be fatal.
Not only adults and especially children in ordinary people's families are prone to premature death, but even royal relatives are the same.
After the first phase of Xianyu's medical center was completed, the first patient she received was actually the Ninth Princess.
That is, she is the biological sister of the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Princess.
The Ninth Princess was not very old and had originally caught a cold. Who would have thought that within a few days, her condition would deteriorate rapidly and she was on the verge of death. Concubine De was so anxious that she had no idea what to do. It was the Fifth Princess who remembered that there was a medical clinic in Xianyu. Although it had not been fully built yet, she could give it a try.
As the saying goes, "When one is desperate, one will try any possible means." After obtaining the consent of Master Kang and Empress Dowager Renxian, Concubine De, who had already run out of options, ordered someone to carry the Ninth Princess to the Medical Clinic.
The Ninth Princess was in a critical condition, so naturally, only the Dean Zhang Youshi could be consulted.
Seeing a group of people rushing over with a little Ninth Princess in their arms, Zhang Youshi was surprised, but because he had treated royal family members before, he was not so nervous. Seeing that the child was seriously ill, he immediately had the Ninth Princess put in the "treatment room" for treatment with a serious face.
This so-called "treatment room" is also a new feature of the medical museum.
In addition to various equipment needed for traditional Chinese medicine, there are also many Western gadgets.
Things like "stethoscope", "magnifying glass", "shadowless lamp" and all kinds of strange things are said to be used for treatment.
At first, Zhang Youshi was a little resistant to these things. After all, he had studied traditional Chinese medicine all his life and had never seen such messy stuff.
As a result, after watching the Western doctor that Xianyu invited from somewhere treat several difficult and complicated diseases, and especially after observing a surgical operation, Zhang Youshi immediately became attracted to it.
It turns out that foreign things are so powerful.
It just happens to complement their traditional Chinese medicine treatments.
If it is not an emergency, you can rely on Chinese medicine to treat it. If it is a critical emergency, you should use surgery.
Use specific medicine when necessary.
However, it would certainly be better if the ingredients of the specific medicine could be solved with traditional Chinese herbal medicine.
Because of his love for medicine, Zhang Youshi became friends with several foreign doctors from the West.
They get together every day to discuss Chinese and Western medicine, exchange academic ideas, learn from each other, and make progress together, making this medical museum more professional.
It seems like it is gradually developing from a medical university to a medical research institute.
Lin Ruhai and Zhang Youshi were a little worried, wondering if they had expanded their business too much and would not be able to report to Master Kang. However, Xianyu thought that this was a good deal and she had to support it.
There is nothing to be afraid of if the business becomes bigger, just make additional investments and everything will be fine.
Xianyu casually comforted Lin Ruhai and Zhang Youshi with a few words, then turned around and asked Master Kang to approve a new sum of funds. She successfully added investment in a simple way and started the second phase of construction of the medical center.
At this time, two years had passed since her arranged marriage to the Fourth Prince. She was about to reach the age of marriage, and the Fourth Prince would soon reach the age of 20.
Except for the eldest prince, the crown prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince, who were arranged to be married at the same time as the fourth prince, the other princes have all got married one after another in the past two years. Even the eighth prince married Yue Le's only daughter.
The Eighth Prince also took the route of "one person for life", which means that apart from the Eighth Lady who was a princess, the Eighth Prince did not have any other concubines or illegitimate wives, or even a princess.
The same goes for the Fourth Prince.
But in fact, Xianyu wanted to say, Brother, you don't have to do that! Really, she really wanted to say that.
Moreover, not only did she hint at it several times, she even told the Fourth Prince in person several times.
The main point is, Fourth Prince, thank you for your favor, but we are really not suitable for each other.
You see, although I am a legitimate daughter of the Wang family, I am different from my cousins. I don’t have a heart - ah, no, I don’t have any worldly desires, and I don’t want to get married at all.
Besides, didn't we already have an agreement at that time that it was a fake marriage? It has been two or three years now, and His Majesty will definitely not care about it anymore. Otherwise, we should find a suitable opportunity to talk to him and make things clear, so that we can part ways and be happy.
In this regard, the fourth uncle's attitude remains consistent.
That means disagreement.
I strongly disagree.
The question is, he feels that the current situation is good enough, he is not in the mood for love, and it is pretty good to just stay with you like this.
It was really like that, leaving Xianyu helpless.
The key point is that the fourth uncle has this attitude, and you can't always talk about this, otherwise it will seem that you don't understand the ways of the world.
Yes, the man didn’t make any demands, so as the woman, you seem to be the one with the vested interest - don’t say you’re not, even if you don’t get married, she will remain a virgin for you, isn’t that a vested interest?
At least that's what everyone thinks in this era.
Anyway, Xianyu felt under a lot of pressure, but it didn't seem good to keep making a fuss, so she had to just do this for now.
Xianyu gave up struggling and began to concentrate on her career - in fact, she continued to build her medical museum. Oh, because it was expanded, it is now called the Medical Research Museum.
As the saying goes, no matter what you do, the most important thing is to concentrate.
Unexpectedly, Xianyu's concentration actually allowed her to achieve something famous.
