In the Yangxin Palace, ten ladies gathered together, each with a child - except Nangong Piaoxue.
Nangong Piaoxue invented penicillin and is currently conducting clinical trials - this is what Fu Xiaoguan said, saying that all research results of the medical school must undergo rigorous clinical trials before they can be applied to patients.
A new medical school was built, with Nangong Piaoxue's teacher Shui Yunjian as the dean. At the same time, a medical research institute was established. Nangong Piaoxue spent most of the year in the medical research institute.
This made her grandfather Nangong Yiyu a little worried. As the Imperial Concubine of the Wu Dynasty, if you want to study medicine, shouldn't you have a child first?
But Nangong Piaoxue was really obsessed with those studies, especially after Fu Xiaoguan sent a batch of "microscopes" to the institute. She compared the red blood cells, white blood cells, lymphocytes... and all the other things that Fu Xiaoguan had talked about. It was as if a window was opened in front of her, allowing her to see the unimaginable structure of the human body.
She almost treated the research institute as her home and almost forgot about her husband.
The medical school was on vacation, and Shui Yunjian kicked Nangong Piaoxue out of the institute, so she returned to the palace. In the past two days, Fu Xiaoguan had given her a lot of trouble.
This was certainly wonderful, but her occupational disease seemed to be quite serious, and she had developed mysophobia - she had to clean herself when doing experiments, especially in a sterile room, where she had to disinfect herself several times with alcohol.
So, before and after the whole process, Concubine Yu would throw Fu Xiaoguan into the bathroom and wash him over and over again. Fu Xiaoguan was very distressed. No matter who it was, it would be difficult to accept being washed four or five times a day.
But what could Fu Xiaoguan do? He could only endure it, thinking that once he started working at the Medical Research Institute, things would get better.
"Husband, we can't go there empty-handed, right?" Yu Wenjun asked.
He Sandao is Fu Xiaoguan's capable and beloved general, and all the women in the harem are well aware of this.
In addition, He Sandao's wife, Zhong Yu, was very capable. She kept sending rolls of exquisite Shu embroidered silk to the palace. After a few exchanges, everyone became familiar with each other.
Even Yu Wenjun, as the queen, gave Zhong Yu a silver fish pendant and asked her to come to the palace when she had nothing to do, play mahjong, or teach them the techniques of Shu embroidery, etc.
"Pick out some of the jewelry Liu Jin brought back."
This is possible. "I think you should grant imperial decrees to the wives of Bai Yulian, He Sandao, Wei Wubing, and Chen Po?"
These people are the core figures in Fu Xiaoguan's army. They followed Fu Xiaoguan from Yu Dynasty to Chi Lechuan, and then from Chi Lechuan to Wu Dynasty. With their loyalty, Fu Xiaoguan should give them extra rewards.
"You are right to remind me... Liu Jin, get the imperial edict."
"I obey your order!"
Liu Jin ran to the imperial study, took four imperial edicts and returned to the Yangxin Palace. Fu Xiaoguan picked up his pen and wrote four imperial edicts, conferring the fourth rank on the wives of the four of them.
He took the seal and stamped it, then instructed Liu Jin: "When the court opens, remember to ask the Ministry of Rites to register them and have the clothes tailored and sent over."
Liu Jin quickly agreed, and he also remembered the names of these four generals and these four ladies.
It is very obvious that these four generals are the emperor's direct subordinates. To be a good eunuch, he must be discerning. Not only must he cling to the emperor's thighs, but he must also never look down on the important officials trusted by the emperor.
"You will deliver these four imperial edicts to their respective residences first. After you come back, follow me to He Sandao's house."
This was naturally a good job. Although he did not dare to accept a penny of reward, he got to show his face in front of these four generals and their wives.
Liu Jin left happily, got on the carriage, left the palace gate, and came to He Sandao's house.
He Sandao was drinking tea and chatting with Bai Yulian, Chen Po and Wei Wubing who had arrived earlier. Zhong Yu was busy in the kitchen. Also in the kitchen were Wen Ruoxi, Du Sanniang and Juan'er.
Zhong Yu is the sixth daughter of the famous Zhong family, and Wen Ruoxi is the granddaughter of Wen Xingzhou, a great scholar in the Wu Dynasty. Both of them were born into prominent families, while Du Sanniang and Juan'er came from peasant families.
This huge gap in status made Du Sanniang and Juan'er feel extremely stressed and uneasy.
Seeing this, Zhong Yu laughed and said, "Sanniang, help me cut these bamboo shoots. Juan'er, help me soak these mushrooms... My animal often talks about his military life."
"He said that when they first arrived at Jianmen, Wubing went to Fenglin Mountain earlier than him. Wubing went with Guan Xiaoxi. Back then in Fenglin Mountain, he, Wubing, and Guan Xiaoxi were best brothers, and they learned these skills together from General Chen Pochen."
While busy, Zhong Yu continued, "General Chen Pochen was trained by General Bai Yulian. And General Bai Yulian was also trained by his master... His Majesty taught him the training method."
"So, today's Army, Navy, and Marine Corps all originate from His Majesty, meaning they come from the same school. And we, the women standing behind them, are like sisters-in-law."
"Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubines are all very easygoing people. From now on, we must visit each other more often and make sure we don't become estranged from each other!"
Wen Ruoxi glanced at Zhong Yu. This girl from Shu was very thoughtful!
She nodded and smiled, "Sisters, Sister Zhong is right. My husband often mentions them, saying they are the best generals..."
Before Wen Ruoxi could finish her words, she heard a maid running in quickly. She was so excited that she could hardly contain herself, "Ladies... quickly wash your hands and go to the main hall to receive the order!"
Receive the order?
Zhong Yu glanced at Yi Cui and asked, "What order do you want to receive?"
"Madam, His Majesty's decree says, it says, he wants to confer imperial decrees on four ladies!"
The four women were stunned. An imperial edict?
This is a great honor!
They were all commoners, and suddenly they became officials, which was the greatest recognition of their husbands by His Majesty. From then on, they would also receive salaries from the court!
"Oh, ladies, stop being in a daze!"
Zhong Yu suddenly came to his senses and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands. Let's go out."
He Sandao and the other three were also in the central hall. Such an important matter had to be discussed in the central hall.
Zhong Yu and the other three came out. Liu Jin took a quick glance at them, took out the imperial edict, cleared his throat twice, and read out the four imperial edicts.
Du Sanniang and Juan'er felt like they were dreaming.
I have seen such stories in operas, but now it happened to me in real life - is this what it means that a wife's status depends on her husband?
They were originally farmers in the countryside, but suddenly they got a fourth-rank imperial decree. This seemed too unreal to them.
"Madams, please accept my order and express your gratitude!"
"His Majesty will be here soon. Please make preparations to receive him."
Liu Jin delivered the imperial edict, gave some instructions with a happy face, and then said goodbye and left.
He Sandao laughed heartily at this moment, "Look, I was right, our emperor really did give us a great gift!"
