Chapter 130 Yangzhou
Soon it was the beginning of October, Kaidong's birthday, the whole family had a hot pot meal together, and Kaidong also received a lot of gifts.
Needless to say, Shen Yilu, he completely transferred his love for his son to his grandson, he almost gave whatever he wanted, and even let the chubby Kaidong sit on his shoulder to play with his unfit body.
Yan Shu and Tian Li also hugged Kaidong and coaxed him for a while, and each gave him a red envelope and many toys.
Lu Nianchuan gave Kaidong a bracelet, and Shen Ji remembered that she had knitted a bracelet for herself back then, but unexpectedly...
In comparison, Shen Ji and Li Yunyao, who only prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones for Kaidong, seemed a bit strict.
After the family finished eating, Shen Ji and Li Yunyao took Kai Dong out to play. They made an appointment with Dou Shuo and Gao Wanling.
"Why haven't you seen Xue Ji recently?" Shen Ji asked Dou.
When Shen Ji was in Daizhou, he heard that Xue Ji went to participate in Qiu Wei, and he also participated in August this year, but he failed in the rankings. I don't know if this hurt his confidence, so he stayed behind closed doors.
Dou said: "Xue Xiang is sick, he is probably at home to take care of the sick."
"Uncle Xue is unwell? Then I have to visit him at another time."
Shen Ji originally planned to go to Xue's house the next day, but she met Xue Zheng'an during the daytime, and saw that he was haggard, so she greeted him a few words: "Uncle Xue, your complexion is a little pale, but your body unwell?"
"Shiqing, I'm fine." Xue Zheng'an coughed for a long time with his fist against his mouth, and Shen Ji hurriedly asked for some water to come over for him to drink to moisten his throat.
Xue Zhengan said: "I'm old, there was a wind a while ago, but it's nothing serious."
Shen Ji was thoughtful, seeing that it was time to go to court, she returned to her seat.After paying off, she went to the clothing store and brought Shen Yilu, Yan Shu, and Tian Li each a scarf to keep their necks warm. Taking Xue Zhengan as an example, she told them: "It's late autumn now, and the temperature changes every day." It's easy to catch cold, so you should wear two more, so you don't catch a cold like Uncle Xue."
The body temperature will become lower and lower as they get older, so many old people wear thicker clothes than ordinary people. Shen Ji not only gave them scarves, but also asked the maid at home to thicken their crane cloaks.
Although Shen Yilu didn't say anything, but he was very ironic in his heart, and said to the housekeeper Qiu Meng: "I regret that I didn't give birth to him more than ten years earlier."
What he is most afraid of now is that he will die without knowing when, and Shen Ji is still so young, she has not yet gained a foothold in the court, plus she is bold and adventurous, without his support in the political hall, I am afraid it will be very difficult Difficult to deploy, when the time comes, it is inevitable to stumble and fall bloody.
He thought about becoming an official, but Boss Zhao didn't give him this opportunity, so he had no choice but to continue working: "For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I have to live a few more years."
For this reason, Shen Yilu also spared time every day to digest food after meals, do exercises to strengthen his physique and so on.He hadn't thought of relying on foreign objects to achieve the goal of physical fitness, but Xue Zhengan was different. He had been ill for a long time, and it took him several days to feel better. The alchemist trusted by Zhao Guangyi was selling medicine, and Xue Zhengan got to know him after being recommended by Zhao Guangyi.
This alchemist is called Hou Mochen, a Xianbei with a three-character surname. He has learned the alchemy technique of turning lead into silver and silver into gold. According to him, the reason why he can turn lead into gold is that It's all because he put a magical elixir into it.
Many years ago, Xue Zhengan was deceived by a liar named Li Babai, and he became interested in alchemy. Later, after Li Babai was exposed as a liar by Shen Ji and Li Yunyao, Xue Zhengan didn't touch alchemy much.However, he has never touched elixir, but he has read many Taoist collections and knows some alchemy techniques.
Right now he is not in good health, and he knows alchemy, and knows what alchemy to use so as not to cause harm to his body, so being tempted by Hou Mochen, Xue Zhengan began to take the alchemy.
Xue Zhengan didn't dare to take more, he only took half a pill each time, and he stopped taking it when he recovered.
Xue Ji didn't know about this either, he only knew that his father had frequent contacts with alchemists, so he had no choice but to persuade him.
After this time, Xue Zhengan believed that the elixir Hou Mochen used was really effective. Later, whenever his body was in pain, he would ask the other party for the elixir.
In this way, in March of the fifth year of Xiantai, Xue Zhengan suddenly vomited blood and passed out in the court hall. Boss Zhao was so frightened that he immediately called the imperial physician to come and treat him.The other courtiers were a little nervous, because they thought Xue Zhengan's problem was caused by eating breakfast, and they didn't know if someone had drugged their breakfast.
Boss Zhao also ordered someone to check whether there was something wrong with the breakfast provided by the court to the officials of the previous court.
After acupuncture by the imperial physician, Xue Zhengan woke up slowly.The imperial physician asked him what he took on weekdays, or where he felt unwell, and what medicine he took when he was unwell.He answered truthfully, and when he learned that he had the habit of taking pills, the imperial physician asked him to take some pills for examination.
After some inspection, the imperial doctor confirmed that there was an excessive amount of cinnabar in the elixir. A moderate amount of cinnabar is actually not very toxic, but if you eat it frequently, toxins will accumulate in your body and damage internal organs, so he vomits blood.Although he is not in danger of his life now, his body is not optimistic either.
Xue Zhengan was lucky enough to save his life, and he was terrified in his heart.But thinking that if he didn't listen to persuasion, he would end up being addicted to pills like this, and he really deserved it!
Boss Zhao asked someone to find out who sold the elixir, but it turned out that Zhao Guangyi was also involved. It is also regretful that the intestines are green.
Boss Zhao thought a little deeper, even if Xue Zhengan was tricked into taking the elixir and almost died, would his younger brother do the same to him one day?
The former brother-in-law was extremely sober in matters that were at stake with his own life. He imprisoned Hou Mochen and other alchemists who pretended to cheat money, scolded Zhao Guangyi, fined him a year's salary, and took this opportunity to clean up. A group of servants with unclean hands and feet surrounded him.
Besides, Xue Zheng'an, his physical condition was no longer able to return to the government affairs hall to handle government affairs, so he proposed to take an official position to recuperate from his illness.
Boss Zhao also didn't agree, but seeing that his health was deteriorating and he really couldn't come back, he filed a lawsuit against Sikong and allowed him to serve as a prime minister.
After Xue Zhengan retired, the prime minister's seat was vacant. Lu Duosun coveted this seat, but Shen Yilu still sat firmly on his head.Sure enough, it didn't take long for Shen Yilu to join the official Zhaowenguan University Bachelor, replacing Xue Zhengan as Prime Minister.
Although Lu Dorson failed to become the prime minister, he also became the second prime minister. In addition, Li Fang, a political adviser, was able to be promoted and became the last prime minister.
Lu Duoxun was close to Zhao Guangyi, so even though he was Shen Ji's uncle, he didn't show any affection in official affairs, and he would not show mercy when it was time to scold Shen Yilu.
Shen Yilu realized that Zhao Guangyi felt threatened in this turmoil, and he couldn't wait to consolidate his position.In the past, two of the prime ministers in the court were close friends of Boss Zhao. Now that Xue Zhengan has retired, only Shen Yilu is left.
Li Fang is also very cautious in his actions, and has not shown any tendency to get close to anyone, so he is not in a hurry to deal with it.
Shen Yilu was afraid that Shen Ji would be implicated, so he talked to her.
Not long after, Shen Ji asked to be released.
Boss Zhao also took pity on her and didn't want her to be involved in the party struggle, so he let her know about Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is an upper state, with nearly [-] main households, [-] customers, and seven counties.It has a large population, a large amount of arable land, and a canal through which all the water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River must pass through this place, so it used to be known as the hub of the north and south.
Many people speculated whether Boss Zhao realized that it was too much to throw Shen Ji to Daizhou before, so throwing her to a rich place this time is considered compensation.
Whether it is compensation or not is unknown, but Shen Ji thinks that Yangzhou is a suitable place for retirement, because there are many historical sites, beautiful scenery, and a literary style prevails here. However, in Li Mu's words, the style of writing is advocating magnificence, which looks light and graceful.
Hearing that Xu Xuan is from Guangling County, Yangzhou, Shen Ji paid a special visit to Xu Xuan before leaving, asking him about Yangzhou's customs and customs, and whether he would like to send a letter to his hometown or bring some Bianliang specialties to relatives and friends.
Xu Xuan: "..."
Unable to resist Shen Ji's enthusiasm, Xu Xuan introduced to her some literary friends he met when he was an official in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and asked her to greet them on his behalf.
Shen Ji complied naturally.
After she left, Xu Xuan went back to the house and wrote several letters to his old friends, asking them to take care of this young man for his sake.
In June, Shen Ji and Li Yunyao took Kaidong on an official boat and went down the canal to the south of the Yangtze River. This time there were only three members of their family, and Lu Nianchuan and Liu Xianxian stayed in Bianliang.
Originally, Yan Shu hoped that Liu Xianxian could go to Yangzhou with him, because Kai Dong was still young and prone to premature death, so he needed a doctor by his side.Shen Ji thought that her parents were getting old, and any illness might wear down their bodies. Compared with her son, she cared more about her parents' health and insisted on letting Liu Xianxian stay in Bianjing.
Both Shen Yilu and Yan Shu couldn't resist her, so they could only arrange it like this.
As for Lu Nianchuan, even though she has the title of Shen Ji's concubine, she doesn't have to run around with Shen Ji all day, so she just stays in Shen's house to live a peaceful life.
Liu Chong didn't follow Shen Ji to protect her this time either, because Xu Shi was pregnant again, Shen Ji asked her to stay in Bianliang to conceive, let Liu Chong stay by her side, and there was no need to run around with her.
The family of three came to Yangzhou in a low-key manner with a few Yuan Sui.
