Jia Xie was chatting with Father Feng and the others in front, but..,
She still had to pay her respects to mother Feng,
Before eating..,
Jia Xie came to the backyard,
To pay her respects to mother Feng.
"Mother-in-law,
Because I am filial to my father, I haven't paid my respects to Mother-in-law for many years,
It's really a sin,
I hope Mother-in-law won't blame me. "Jia Xie gestured with her hands and said.
"Quickly get up and sit down,
How could I not know your difficulties? "Mother Feng looked at Jia Xie with a smile.
Jia Xie sat at the side,
He looked at his wife, who had given up her seat for him, and his expression did not look good,
He understood,
His wife had probably been lectured by his mother-in-law,
To be honest..,
If it weren't for the face of his in-laws, he would have had the heart to hire two etiquette instructors for his wife to remind her from time to time,
Look at what she did yesterday,
When Ruo Lin was around, she never let him worry about the matters of the house. She could even remind him from time to time,
And Madam Feng? She couldn't even take care of herself.
"Mother-in-law, how have you been recently,
Son-in-law hasn't been in the capital for a long time,
I haven't fulfilled my filial duties to Mother-in-law, "Jia Xie asked.
"Everything is fine. But I'm afraid you've suffered a lot in Jinling. You've lost a lot of weight. You still have to take good care of yourself. Don't hurt your body. You'll suffer when you get old in the future," mother Feng said.
"Son-in-law understands. I'll take good care of my body," Jia Xie said.
Mother Feng continued to chat with Jia Xie. She even asked him what Jinling was like. She said that she had never been to Jinling before and that she wanted to go to Jinling to take a look when she had the chance. For a moment, mother Feng and Jia Xie chatted happily until Madam Feng's eldest brother brought the imperial physician over.
"Mother, didn't you say two days ago that you didn't rest well at night? I specially invited the imperial physician back for you. Let the imperial physician take your pulse and see if there's any big problem. If there's a problem, let's treat it. Don't hide your illness for fear of treatment, "brother Feng said.
"You child, you're so honest. I just said it casually, and you invited the imperial physician back today. Forget it, forget it. It's rare for the imperial physician to make a trip. Let the imperial physician take your pulse," Mother Feng said.
When the imperial physician saw that Mother Feng had agreed, he stepped forward to take her pulse. Jia Xie's eyes darkened when he saw this scene. Sure enough, it was a Hongmen Banquet. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. Madam was indeed able to foresee things. The Feng family could not hold it in anymore. Jia Xie knew his own body. He had not touched the medicine for more than two years when he went to Jinling to observe mourning. Although he did not specially nourish his body, the medicine was specially made. He really did not believe that the imperial physician could detect it.
"Madam worries too much, so it's difficult for her to sleep at night. I'll prescribe a calming decoction and boil a bowl of it every day before bed. After drinking it, she'll sleep well at night," the imperial physician said.
"Thank you, Imperial Physician." Mother Feng smiled, then said to Eldest Brother Feng, "I already said it's nothing serious."
"Mother, how can it be nothing serious when you can't sleep well at night? Brother-in-law, don't you think so?" Eldest Brother Feng changed the topic to Jia Xie.
"Eldest Brother is right. Mother-in-law also needs to take good care of her body," Jia Xie said.
"By the way, didn't Brother-in-law go to Jinling to observe mourning? Life is tough, and you must have suffered a lot. Why don't you let the imperial physician take your pulse? It's also good to see if there's anything wrong with your body, "Eldest Brother Feng said.
Jia She smiled and said, "There's no need for that. I know my body well." This matter couldn't be settled all at once. He had to evade a few things first. If he was too magnanimous, it would make people feel that there was a trap.
"Only the physician knows his body well. Brother-in-law doesn't have any medical skills. How can he know? Don't think that you don't pay attention to anything just because you're young. The younger you are, the more you need to take good care of your body. Otherwise, when you're old, you'll have a lot of diseases. It's not fun," Eldest Brother Feng continued to persuade.
"Okay, then let's check it." Jia Xie agreed.
Mother Feng, Eldest Brother Feng, and Madam Jia Xie all breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Xie stretched out his hand and let the imperial physician take his pulse.
"Marquis Jia's body is fine, and he is very healthy." The imperial physician let go of his hand. He was not talking nonsense. Jia Xie was indeed in good health. Although he had been a vegetarian for more than two years, he had finished mourning in March. Two months had passed, and he had made up for it. In addition, when Jia Xie was mourning for her son, she wanted to continue to play the game of snatching hats when she came back. If he did not exercise to be stronger, how could he bear that sweet burden? To be honest, Jia Xie's body was better than most of the young masters who lived like princes.
Mother Feng and Eldest Brother Feng, who thought that they would find out the cause of the illness, looked at each other. Mother Feng deliberately used the excuse of having a private conversation with Madam Jia Xie to drive the women of the Feng family back.
Jia Xie looked at the expressions of his mother-in-law and brother-in-law and sneered. Then he said gently to the imperial physician, "It's great that there's no serious problem. Thank you, imperial physician. I'll thank you another day."
The imperial physician smiled and continued, "I've examined many of these young masters, but I rarely see anyone as healthy as Marquis Jia. Oh, by the way, there's another one who is also in good health. It's Earl Jia from Ningguo Province. He's also in good health. No wonder his ancestors were all meritorious."
Jia Xie smiled. He was talking about Zheng 'er. Zheng' er's health was better than his.
"Madam, Marquis Jia, Crown Prince, I'll take my leave first. I have other things to do in the Imperial Hospital." The imperial physician left.
"I'll have to trouble the imperial physician. Eldest Brother, go send the imperial physician off." Mother Feng gave Eldest Brother Feng a look. She still didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with Jia She's body. If there was nothing wrong with their bodies, then why hadn't her daughter been able to conceive a child? There was definitely something wrong. She was afraid that the imperial physician wouldn't be able to say it in front of so many people, so she specifically asked Eldest Brother Feng to ask again in private. Eldest Brother Feng naturally understood what his mother meant.
Eldest Brother Feng saw the imperial physician out. When they passed by an empty garden, Eldest Brother Feng said to the imperial physician, "Imperial physician, tell me the truth. Is there really nothing wrong with my brother-in-law's body?"
The imperial physician didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did this person really hope that there was something wrong with his brother-in-law's body? "There's really no problem."
"What about Madam Fang? Is there also no problem? "Eldest Brother Feng continued to ask.
The imperial physician understood. "There's no problem in that aspect. If Crown Prince doesn't believe me, you can ask someone else."
"But there's nothing wrong with my sister's body. Why can't she have a child with my brother-in-law?" Eldest Brother Feng didn't believe him.
"Children and grandchildren are destined by the heavens. It's just not the right time. When the time is right, the child will naturally come." The imperial physician comforted him.
"Then do you have a prescription that can make the female lead pregnant quickly?" Eldest Brother Feng continued to ask.
The imperial physician was a little impatient. After all, it was the Empress's family. Although the Empress didn't have any children, she was still the Empress of Da Qian. He had to be respectful to the Feng family. "I don't have that kind of prescription. Crown Prince, you can ask other physicians. It's getting late and Crown Prince has to entertain the guests at home. There's no need to send me off. I'll go back myself." The imperial physician had already seen the carriage and said to Eldest Brother Feng.
"Alright." Eldest Brother Feng said to the coachman, "Send the imperial physician back to the Imperial Hospital."
"Yes," the coachman replied.
The imperial physician boarded the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Fortunately, he was a medical student and knew that he could not easily get angry when it came to maintaining his health. Otherwise, he would be angered to death by Eldest Brother Feng's continuous questions. There was also the prescription for childbirth. If he had it, he would have given it to His Majesty. With that prescription, he would no longer be a lowly imperial physician. He would definitely be a judge by now. Would he still need to leave the palace to treat these nobles?
The imperial physician was furious, but he was well-mannered and didn't tell anyone about what happened today.
After this farce, Jia Xie had a quiet dinner with the Feng family before returning to Rongguo Province with Madam Jia Feng.
After Jia Xie and Madam Jia Feng returned, Eldest Brother Feng told Madam Feng about his conversation with the imperial physician.
"Is there really no problem? It can't be. Then why hasn't your sister been pregnant for so long? Could it be that the time isn't right? "Then I'll ask your sister to go to the temple in a few days to pray. It's said that there's a temple in the suburbs that's especially efficacious. Maybe she'll get pregnant after praying." Madam Feng said.
Eldest Brother Feng thought for a moment and said, "Mother, tell me, is there a possibility that brother-in-law has bribed all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital? That's why the imperial physicians said that there's nothing wrong with brother-in-law's body."
Madam Feng thought for a while and said, "That's impossible. There are more than ten imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital and two ministers. Even if Rongguo Province is powerful, it's impossible to bribe so many imperial physicians." Madam Feng didn't believe it.
"This isn't something to be proud of. Think about it, Duke Rongguo and the Retired Emperor grew up together. Their relationship is naturally not comparable to ordinary people. When such a big scandal happened, the Duke Rongguo first asked the Retired Emperor to come forward. For such a small matter, it's just a matter of a sentence to the Retired Emperor. With the Retired Emperor's appearance, the Imperial Hospital naturally wouldn't dare to say anything. If that's not the case, then why can't my sister's body and brother-in-law's body have no problem?" Eldest Brother Feng said.
Madam Feng thought for a moment and felt that it was really possible. "If that's the case, we have to think of another way. We can't let the Jia family blame us for not being able to give birth to a child. Our Feng family still has a daughter to marry. We can't be the scapegoat." When she was socializing, she heard many people say that the Feng family's daughter was not easy to give birth to. The Empress didn't have a son. When her younger daughter was married, she didn't have a son by her side. She didn't know how many times she was angry.
"Mother is wise." Eldest Brother Feng said.
"Well, you go back and accompany your daughter-in-law. I'll think of another way." Madam Feng said.
"Yes." The Feng family went back, leaving Madam Feng alone in the room.
She had to think of a way to let other doctors diagnose her son-in-law again. There were so many doctors in the capital. She didn't believe that the Jia family could bribe all of them.
On the way back, Madam Jia looked at Jia Xie and finally felt relieved. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with her husband's health. She hadn't been able to conceive a child yet. Maybe it was really fate. As long as she worked hard, she would be able to give birth to her husband's child. She didn't want to rely on that little brat Jia Lian to support her in the future.
Jia Xie's face was cold. Today was over. Anyway, the Feng family didn't embarrass him. He found an excuse to let both sides have a way out. Jia Xie looked at Madam Jia Feng. He owed her in this matter. However, Madam Jia Feng's elder sister was the Empress. He couldn't let Lian 'er's position be shaken.
When they returned to Rongguo Province, Jia Xie said, "You must be tired today. You go back and rest. I'll go and see the Old Madam."
"Yes." Madam Jia Feng said sweetly. She felt that Jia Xie cared about her. She didn't think much and agreed directly.
Jia Xie pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He went to Madam Jia's courtyard alone.
"You're back? Why are you here alone? "Madam Jia gestured to Jia Xie to sit down and let Yuan Chun and Jia Zhu go out to play.
"Jing Niang felt tired, so I asked her to go back and rest. I came to see the Old Madam." Jia Xie was a little unhappy. He just casually asked Madam Jia Feng to rest, and she really went to rest. She didn't know that she had delayed and came to greet the Old Madam with him. Men were all pigs. They always felt that they were just being polite. You had to understand their thoughts. Jia Xie was no exception.
Mother Jia looked at Jia She's unhappy expression and understood, "Just teach her slowly. If it doesn't work, this old one will go see the Empress Dowager and ask the Empress Dowager to bestow two etiquette instructors to guide her. Her living environment is different from Madam Zhang's. The Feng family can be considered a middle-class family in the capital, and that was when the Feng family's old master was still around. Madam Zhang is different. She has been raised as a matriarch since she was young. Compared to Madam Zhang, Madam Jia and Madam Feng are naturally much weaker.
Today I went to the Fengs. The Fengs invited an imperial physician to check my pulse. I'm very healthy. "Jia Xie said.
"That's good. This matter is over. After all, other families also love their daughters. Although you two have been married for so many years, you have also observed mourning for three years. Counting seriously, you two have been married for only a few years. Fortunately, you two are still young. Children will come sooner or later." Jia Xie's mother understood the meaning behind Jia Xie's words.
"That's right. Then I won't disturb Mother's rest. I'll leave first." Jia Xie said.
"Go." Madam Jia nodded. After Jia Xie walked away, Madam Jia sighed. She only hoped that this matter would pass as she said. If it didn't pass, then there would be more. Speaking of which, she seemed to have never shown her evil mother-in-law in front of Madam Jia Feng. Even if things didn't pass, she didn't mind being the evil mother-in-law again for her son. "Yuan Yang, go and pick two girls with good colors who can recognize two words. Let them learn how to appreciate fans."
"Old Ancestor, you want to …" Yuan Yang saw clearly that Old Ancestor wanted to give concubines to Old Master.
"Teach them first. We'll see if they are useful." Madam Jia said.
"Yes." Yuan Yang left. She didn't know how Madam had offended Old Ancestor. After Madam Jia Feng married Old Master, Old Ancestor rarely let his daughter-in-law set rules. When Madam Jia Feng was alive, Old Ancestor liked to give concubines to Old Master. After Madam Jia Feng married Old Master, Old Ancestor hadn't given any concubines to Old Master. Now, Yuan Yang could only think so.
Jia Xie came out of Madam Jia's courtyard. For a moment, she didn't want to go back to Rongqing Hall. Instead, she wandered around the courtyard. She accidentally wandered to the courtyard where he used to live. After hesitating for a while, Jia Xie still didn't enter the courtyard. She turned back to the courtyard and wandered around again before returning to Rongqing Hall.
The Jia Zhen of the Imperial Side Courtyard received a letter from his wife and knew that Uncle She had returned.
"Big Brother, what are you looking at? Sister-in-law's letter? " Jia Lian hugged the Jia Zhen's waist. Now that he was eight years old, his height had reached the Jia Zhen's lower abdomen. He could finally hug the Jia Zhen's waist and didn't need to hug the Jia Zhen's thigh anymore.
"Really? Sister-in-law's letter?" Jia Yao also rushed over.
Lin Jinyu and Jia Rong also didn't want to be outdone. The four children surrounded the Jia Zhen.
Surrounded by the children, the Jia Zhen was a little disgusted and said, "It was indeed your sister-in-law who wrote the letter. She said that Lian 'er's father is back and asked when we are going back."
"Big Brother, when are we going back? I miss Mother," Jia Rong said.
"Call me Dad. Do you know that your uncles call me Big Brother?" The Jia Zhen bent down and poked his son's forehead. How stupid! How could he have such a stupid son? Tomorrow, he and his wife would be very smart. Besides, if his son called him Big Brother, wouldn't he be a generation younger than his wife?
Jia Lian and the others covered their mouths and laughed. Their little nephew usually played with them, so he called them Big Brother, Big Brother.
"Okay, let go of me. It's so hot. Do you want to go swimming?" the Jia Zhen asked.
"Yes." This time, the children were very enthusiastic, including Jia Rong.
"Okay, take your clothes. I'll go get the sunscreen. Let's go swimming together," the Jia Zhen said.
"Big Brother, should we call Tu Ming and the others?" Jia Lian asked.
"Go ahead." The Jia Zhen waved his hand.
Jia Lian asked Jia Yao to help him pack his clothes while he went to call the princes. In the end, not only did he call the four princes over, but he also called the Retired Emperor over.
The Jia Zhen looked at the Retired Emperor and was dumbfounded. He asked, "You are going too?"
"What's wrong? I can't go. When I learned to swim, your Second Grandpa was not as good as me, "the Retired Emperor said proudly.
The Jia Zhen smiled. Okay, you are right. You are the best. The Jia Zhen was too lazy to expose the Retired Emperor. He directly took the things and led the children, including the Retired Emperor, and the servant up the mountain.
Because the water came down from the mountain, it was very cool. The Jia Zhen first asked the servant to go down to check if there was anything sharp in the water. The most important thing was whether there were snakes or the like in the water. In fact, if there were snakes, they should be water snakes. They were not poisonous, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Besides, it was not good to frighten the children.
The servant went down to check the water. The Jia Zhen watched the children take off their clothes and apply the sunscreen. As for the Retired Emperor, Eunuch Zhu Lin helped him. Then, the group went down. The children already knew how to swim, including the princes. They were all taught by the Jia Zhen in a devilish way. He just threw them into the water and they learned how to swim in a short time. It was very simple.
The children were having fun in the water. Because they all knew how to swim, the Jia Zhen was not worried. He just watched from the side. Suddenly, a gaze without any doubt looked at him with a handful of water. The Jia Zhen looked at the owner of the water and narrowed his eyes. Very good. The Jia Zhen began to use both hands to hold the water and directly splashed it at Jia Rong.
Jia Lian and the others saw that their little nephew was being bullied, so they hurriedly came to help. In the end, they still lost. After all, they were still young and their hands were small. The Jia Zhen was an adult, so his hands were still very big. In addition, he practiced martial arts all year round, so his physical fitness was not very good. It was more than enough for him to deal with four people. Therefore, Jia Lian couldn't help but say, "Tu Ming, hurry up. Come and help me."
Tu Ming and the others were a little hesitant. It was not very good to respect the teacher like this.
The Retired Emperor looked at them with a smile. He gave Tu Ming and the others a look and said, "Hurry up and help me."
Tu Ming, who had obtained Xu Ken's permission, immediately joined the battle.
Seeing that the other four princes also came down, the Jia Zhen did not hold back. He increased the power of the water and let the eight children know what it was like to be hit by the stream like raindrops.
"There are eight of you here. You can't lose." The Retired Emperor stood on the side and watched the children fight. His face was full of joy.
