Chapter 351 Zhao Xuan was mad at his son and vomited blood
"Lord Zhao is old, and she's still young. The Zhao family's daughter entered the palace, and now I hear she's pregnant. If she gives birth to a prince, the position in the harem might be hers. If she becomes empress, even if she doesn't, given how much she opposed Lord Zhao marrying before, Gao Wanxin must be worried that when Lord Zhao is no longer interested in government affairs, the Zhao brothers and sisters will use her two sons as an excuse."
"If I could build some property myself, I could leave some for my son to use for his own survival."
There was surprise in Li Yuan's eyes.
"If you think about it this way, Gao is quite clever. She's very good at planning for her future. Then, Mrs. Qiao, do you think this could help?"
"It's just something I can help with. Besides, she and Mai Dong are good friends. Lord Zhao is a good friend of the Marquis, and she is the Marquis's adopted sister. It just so happens that Mai Dong is coming back to do business in porcelain and tea. I'll ask Gao Wanxin if she wants to come along. If she's willing, I'll take her along."
Li Yuan nodded and laughed, saying that she wanted to do it too.
You also have to make money.
To save up a dowry for my daughter.
Yun Qiao agreed with a smile.
The addition of a little girl to the Marquis's mansion is naturally a great joyous event, and they will hold a grand full-moon banquet soon.
Naturally, invitations were sent to familiar families in Beijing.
When the invitation was delivered to the Zhao family, Gao Wanxin saw that there was a new girl in the Marquis's Mansion on the invitation, and her heart was filled with envy.
When Zhao Xuan came back in the evening, Gao Wanxin complained a few words.
Zhao Xuan has been implementing new policies in the court these days, which has been quite difficult. The little emperor is very obedient, but too conservative and dares not do anything. He talked until his mouth was dry and the emperor just kept saying "hmm, hmm, hmm", "My dear minister, you are right, but it is too early now. The foundation of the government is unstable and the treasury needs to be replenished."
Zhao Xuan was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs were boiling with rage.
When he returned home and saw his two sons, his mood eased a little, but when he thought of his eldest son, he became worried again.
"My Lord, let's eat."
Zhao Xuan noticed that Gao Wanxin's face was not in a good mood, so he asked, "Did you receive an invitation from the Marquis' Mansion today? Master Gu's family has a new daughter."
"You said it yourself, I can't have a daughter, isn't it your fault? I also want a little girl."
Gao Wanxin knew that Zhao Xuan's health was actually pretty good, but he was not very young after all, and it was impossible for her to be so pregnant forever. What if Zhao Xuan was unable to have children after a year or two?
She doesn't even have a daughter.
People are like this. Those who have daughters want sons, and those who have sons want daughters. Gao Wanxin wants a daughter because she thinks that having a daughter will be more caring when she reaches old age.
But Zhao Xuansheng could not come out.
Zhao Xuan finally understood what Gao Wanxin meant.
He then said with a smile: "So Madam is blaming me. Don't worry, we will try harder and try to make you give birth to a big fat daughter."
Gao Wanxin rolled her eyes at him.
"My Lord, let's eat."
Yier was also called over.
Gao Wanxin's youngest son is called Yu Ge'er. He is still young and only needs to drink milk. Every day, Zhao Xuan comes back and the wet nurse brings him to the adults to see.
The wet nurse was newly hired to serve Yu Ge'er, but the little guy refused to drink the wet nurse's milk. The wet nurse had to take better care of the young master, fearing that she would be fired.
It's not uncommon to get a high salary without having to breastfeed.
The wet nurse liked this job very much and took good care of the young master.
Gao Wanxin asked the nanny to take her sleeping little son away. Yier sat obediently on the chair, waiting for his parents to sit down at the table together.
Just at this moment, I heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door.
"Why are you stopping me? I'm going to see my father. Get out of here."
The person shouting outside the door was none other than Zhao Xuan's eldest son, Zhao Chengliang.
Zhao Xuan was originally sitting down to eat, and Yier was calling out to his daddy obediently to eat. Zhao Xuan was even thinking of picking up a chicken leg for Yier, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by his useless son.
Zhao Xuan walked towards the door.
Looking at Zhao Chengliang who was still making a fuss, he quickly walked over and kicked him.
"What the hell are you doing in front of my door, you bastard?"
"Dad, why did you cut off my monthly allowance? What you gave me wasn't much to begin with, and now you're cutting it all off. I went to Grandma, but she said she didn't care about me. What do you mean by this? Don't you want to care about me anymore?"
"I know you don't care about me anymore since you have two little ones now."
"Gao Wanxin, come out here! It's all your fault! You're the one who drugged my father and made him ignore me now."
It was obvious that Zhao Chengliang was drunk and came here to cause trouble.
"You bastard..."
Zhao Xuan's chest was heaving with anger.
Zhao Chengliang is still making trouble.
Gao Wanxin noticed something was wrong with Zhao Xuan and immediately stepped forward. "Master, don't you see that he's feeling unwell right now because of all the anger? If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Sir, are you okay?" Gao Wanxin supported Zhao Xuan, her face full of worry.
Zhao Xuan was so angry that he couldn't speak and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which scared Gao Wanxin half to death.
She immediately asked her servant to call a doctor.
Gao Wanxin then glared at Zhao Chengliang fiercely with her almond-shaped eyes. "No matter what you say, you're still his son. How could he ignore you and not ask you about you? He's endured so much ridicule because of you. Can't you go out and find out for yourself?"
"It's your own fault that you come home and cause trouble now."
"My Lord is already in a bad mood today, and now you're so angry that you're vomiting blood. If something happens to my Lord, do you think you and your sister will be able to live with it?"
Gao Wanxin was not such a strong person, but she was also frightened when she saw Zhao Xuan vomiting blood.
If Zhao Xuan really died of anger, what would happen to her and the children?
Now she just wanted to slap Zhao Chengliang and wake him up.
But Zhao Chengliang was not her son, so Gao Wanxin did not take action, but still called the servants to take him away.
After the doctor came and took the patient's pulse, he said that it was anger that attacked the heart.
Obviously he was pissed off.
Fortunately, after the doctor gave Zhao Xuan a few injections, he woke up. His face was a little pale and he looked very weak. It was really just a moment, and Zhao Xuan looked a lot older.
"Sir, are you okay?" Gao Wanxin asked with red eyes.
"It's okay." Zhao Xuan patted the back of Gao Wanxin's hand. "I was pissed off by that bastard."
"How is he now?"
After all, he is his biological son, so Zhao Xuan still cares about him, but the idiot Zhao Chengliang doesn't know it.
Gao Wanxin still replied, "I had someone send him back. He must have been drunk, and his cursing was unbearable to hear. My Lord, with such a high status, would never have thought that the eldest son would be such a dandy, only caring about eating and drinking. He actually came to his own father to question you just because you stopped his monthly allowance, and even made you vomit blood in anger."
Speaking of this, Gao Wanxin felt uncomfortable.
"It's normal for my son to be angry with me."
"I think he'll be in even worse shape if he continues to stay in Kyoto. I want him to stay in Jizhou for a few years."
Gao Wanxin was not familiar with Jizhou and didn't even know about it.
I heard Zhao Xuan say that this was the place where he had served as an official and gained experience. That place was well governed and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
But overall, the development was not very prosperous. Jizhou mainly relied on farming and vegetable growing, and its economy developed very slowly.
If Zhao Chengliang went to Jizhou, one purpose was to train him, and the other was to allow him to learn something in Jizhou, and learn the simplicity and kindness of the local people.
Zhao Xuan was also helpless.
Previously, he thought that no matter how much his son made trouble, he was still his biological son, and as a father he naturally had to protect him. But now, he realized that if he continued to protect him, the child would be really ruined.
Gao Wanxin said, "Please tell the old lady about this. She has always loved the eldest son."
Although Zhao Chengliang was a playboy and had no achievements, he was the eldest grandson in the eyes of the old lady, and she still loved him very much.
Gao Wanxin gave birth to two sons, and she had established a firm foothold in the Zhao family. The old lady was very happy that the Zhao family had more grandchildren, but she was not as good to Yier and Yu Ge'er as she was to Zhao Chengliang.
Gao Wanxin had no intention of arguing about these things.
Just a reminder to Zhao Xuan.
She was also afraid that if Zhao Xuan sent Zhao Chengliang to Jizhou, the old lady would think that she, as a stepmother, was intolerant and was afraid that Zhao Chengliang would compete with her two sons for the family property, so she deliberately sent him away.
Zhao Xuan hummed.
Seeing that he was indeed weak, Gao Wanxin hurriedly said, "Please lie down and rest. I'll go make some medicine for you. You need to eat something. The doctor also said that you haven't eaten much all day, right?"
Zhao Xuan: "I'm busy today and don't have the mood to eat."
The new policy was difficult to implement and he was so worried that he couldn't eat.
I had thought I could have something to eat in the evening with my wife and son by my side, but I didn't expect that I would be so angry at that bastard that I couldn't eat.
Gao Wanxin persuaded him that he must eat something.
Just as Gao Wanxin sent the doctor away, she turned around and saw Yi'er standing at the door, "Mom, is Daddy okay?"
The little guy had obviously cried.
"It's okay, Yi'er, Daddy is fine. Let's go in and see Daddy."
"Did you have meal?"
Yier shook his head, "I didn't eat it."
Yu'er, who was taking care of him, whispered, "The Second Young Master is worried about you, so he can't eat. Madam, please persuade him to eat something. If he doesn't eat, he'll starve."
Gao Wanxin looked at her son with eyes full of heartache.
When I took my son to see Zhao Xuan, Yier called him "Daddy" and asked him how his health was.
Zhao Xuan felt comforted.
Gao Wanxin then asked the maid to take Yier to eat. After the medicine was ready, she fed Zhao Xuan the medicine first, and then he ate half a bowl of noodles. After serving him, Gao Wanxin had time to eat a few bites of food.
