Chapter 204 Princess Rong Lin Yutang
Under the urging of Cheng Qingmeng and Jiang Shiyun, Song Yu left Furong Garden in just a quarter of an hour.
The three sisters left for a while, and Wen Nuo pulled Wen Shu out of the room.
"Little brother, we're already at Grandma Jiang's yard. My sister has finished her acupuncture. We can sit together and have breakfast. Then we'll go to Grandpa Jiang's room to give you acupuncture."
Wen Shu smiled and nodded.
He really hopes that his grandmother can regain her sight soon.
“Ah…” Wen Shu opened his mouth but still couldn’t say anything, he could only make ah ah ah sounds.
"Brother, does your throat still hurt?"
Wen Shu shook his head.
"Don't worry, little brother. You can speak now and you're not far from being able to speak complete sentences."
The three sisters arrived at Cuiwei Hall, where Jiang Youya was practicing the Five Animal Exercises in the yard.
"Why are you three sisters here together today?"
Jiang Shiyun hurriedly said: "I want to learn medical skills from my cousin. Mother said that it is better to save yourself than to wait for others to save you."
"Grandfather," Cheng Qingmeng said, "I want to learn from my cousin too. I came here early this morning just to watch her give acupuncture and see where all the acupuncture points are. Once we learn the art of medicine, we'll definitely be able to cure any disease, from major illnesses to minor ailments, just like my cousin."
"Ha..." Jiang Youya said with a smile, "It's a good thing to learn one more skill. Come in quickly. Your grandmother should be awake by now. After the acupuncture, we can have breakfast together."
Cheng Qingmeng was a little anxious. The prince had shown various signs of physical weakness, but his grandfather hadn't even thought of him.
Was it because she wasn't hinting clearly enough?
Well, just tell me directly when we have breakfast.
Cheng Qingmeng, Jiang Shiyun is not joking.
Song Yu introduced the acupuncture points while giving acupuncture to Old Lady Jiang. The two took it very seriously and even used the silver needles to practice with each other.
Aunt Gui was so frightened that her heart trembled. "Misses, please don't really do it. You are just learning. Don't make yourself sick."
Jiang Shiyun said: "Don't worry, we're not really going to stab you. We're not stupid."
Madam Jiang finished inserting the needles before she spoke: "If you don't really practice, you won't be able to learn medicine. Sister Yu, you must have pricked yourself a lot back then, right?"
Cheng Qingmeng and Jiang Shiyun looked at Song Yu at the same time, "Is it true, cousin?"
"Of course it's true." Wen Nuo pulled Wen Shu and followed Jiang Youya in.
"No way? If you pierce the wrong spot, it will bleed and hurt."
Wen Nuo said, "Anyway, my sister isn't bleeding and isn't in pain. It's Brother Si who's in pain, and he's the only one who's doing the acupuncture. If you two sisters want to learn acupuncture, you can find someone to practice with."
Cheng Qingmeng said, "If you stab a living person directly, what if your hand shakes and you stab the wrong person, wouldn't that cost someone's life?"
"Before I made Brother Si, I made a wooden figure. I made Brother Si only after I became proficient in it. That wooden figure is in Yancheng. If you two sisters want to learn, I will arrange for someone to send it to the capital right away."
"Then please ask Brother Xiao Nuo to send someone to bring it over. We really want to learn medicine from our cousin."
"good!"
Cheng Qingmeng hurriedly walked up to Wen Shu and asked, "Are you still tired after walking all the way here?"
Wen Shu shook his head.
He is no longer so tired and his health is gradually improving.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Youya and Old Madam Jiang took the five children to the outer room for breakfast.
Cheng Qing dreamed that Jiang Youya was completely focused on feeding Wen Shu, so he asked directly, "Grandfather, how is the little prince's health lately?"
"I don't know, the emperor didn't say. Shu'er, come on, if you like shrimp dumplings, eat more."
Jiang Youya continued to pick up two dishes for Wen Shu before he suddenly realized what was going on.
Sister Yu’s medical skills are so great, maybe she can take good care of the little prince’s health.
"Sister Yu, the little prince has been weak and sickly since he was born. You are a skilled doctor, so maybe you can heal him."
Song Yu said, "I'm not sure. Everyone's symptoms are different. The little prince is of noble status, so I can't guarantee it."
"Don't worry, I won't tell the emperor too much. I will go to the palace to inquire about the little prince's situation today, and come with me to the palace tomorrow."
Jiang Youya hurried into the palace after breakfast.
"Cousin Meng, I had already prepared something to say, waiting for you to perform, but you just said it directly."
Cheng Qingmeng smiled and said, "I hinted at it when I saw my grandfather this morning, but he didn't react much, so I had to say it out loud."
Jiang Shiyun pouted, "So you woke up early and carefully memorized a few subjects?"
"Haha..." Song Yu covered his mouth and laughed a few times, "Okay, let's go inside and teach you acupuncture."
As Jiang Youya stepped into the palace, Princess Lin Yutang of Prince Rong received a visiting card from the Du family.
"Madam Yun, what do you think Madam Du will be bringing this afternoon?"
Nanny Yun looked at Lin Yutang, who was sitting on the chaise longue, looking as solemn and graceful as a goddess, and said in a tone of incomparable respect, "It must be a big deal that Madam Du came to the mansion in person. Oh, by the way, the people sent by the old princess haven't left yet, and they may want to inquire about the old princess's recent situation."
Lin Yutang smiled, "I haven't seen her for almost eighteen years. If she hadn't sent me a picture album every year, we might not have recognized her if we met on the street. Go get the picture album you sent back this year and show it to Madam Du when she comes..."
"Prince." Yang Sheng, a personal guard, entered Xiao Chengqian's study. "The doorman just reported that the Du family has sent a visiting card. Old Madam Du will come to meet the princess this afternoon."
Xiao Chengqian frowned, "Is Apeng back?"
"not yet."
Xiao Chengqian got up and went to Lin Yutang's yard.
"Mother."
Lin Yutang was surprised, "Gan'er, why aren't you in the government office at this time?"
"I went there early in the morning. I heard from the concierge that Madam Du would be coming over this afternoon."
Lin Yutang nodded. "Old Madam Du must have come here personally for something important. Did she tell you about the wild ginseng you were delivering yesterday?"
Xiao Chengqian turned his head and said to Nanny Yun, "Let them all leave."
When Nanny Yun heard this, she knew it was a big deal and quickly sent all the maids out of the room.
"Mother, when I came back from the Mu family last time, I told you about Elder Jiang's eldest granddaughter, Song Yu. Do you know who she is?"
Lin Yutang looked puzzled: "Isn't she Jiang Yunwan's daughter? Who else could it be?"
"I saw her at the gate of the Du family yesterday. She wasn't wearing a mask, and there wasn't a single scar on her face. Not only that, she had the same ears as Marquis Du, and a red mole like the Marquis's wife. Even her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as the Marquis's. She is of the Du family, the Marquis and his wife's biological daughter."
"What?" Lin Yutang was so shocked that her face turned pale. "Is this true? Was the Marquis' wife pregnant with twins back then?"
Xiao Chengqian shook his head. "The Marquis' wife only gave birth to one child. How did her biological daughter become a member of the Song family? I'm still investigating."
Lin Yutang couldn't help but gasp, "Isn't Du Zhihuan of the Marquis's bloodline?"
Xiao Chengqian nodded obediently and admitted, "Madam Du came to the mansion to tell you to return the engagement to Song Yu."
"Are you telling Mother a joke?" Lin Yutang patted his chest. "This joke is not funny."
"Mother, I'm not joking. This is the truth. Song Yu is of the Marquis' bloodline, and Huanhuan is the Marquis's adopted daughter, making her the daughter of the Du family. My marriage is already decided, and the Du family can't just change it if they want."
Lin Yutang raised his hand and said, "Don't speak for now. Let mother be quiet."
What is going on? My daughter-in-law is not of the Marquis’s bloodline!
Old Master Jiang’s new eldest granddaughter is actually of the Marquis’s bloodline!
"So, does that mean that Mr. Jiang's eldest daughter still doesn't have a child of her own?"
Xiao Chengqian said anxiously: "Mother, we are not concerned about whether she has children or not. The engagement cannot be changed."
"What does Song Yu look like? What are his talents and what is his character like?"
Xiao Chengqian: ...
Xiao Chengqian pursed his lips into a straight line and looked at Lin Yutang without saying a word.
"Alright, alright. Huanhuan is already listed in the Imperial Book of Documents. How can I change her status so easily? Besides, Huanhuan is sensible and filial to me. When Madam Du comes this afternoon, you can listen in the compartment and see how Mother rejects her."
Xiao Chengqian continued, "What if Madam Du sees that you don't agree to go look for your grandmother?"
"Although your grandmother hasn't been in Beijing for over ten years, she always sends you back many of your favorite things. She mentions you in every letter home. She dotes on you so much, how could she bear to let you marry someone you don't like?"
Xiao Chengqian calmed down and left Lin Yutang's room.
"Madam Yun, go find the prince quickly. This is a big deal. Let him know when you find out."
