Chapter 8: Is it a blessing or not a disaster? A disaster cannot be avoided
For this reason, the people of the Zhou Dynasty simply talked about the sky changing. From spring to autumn, from summer to winter, all year round, smallpox was blown every day. Every day the flowers were noisy, and the next time there was a roar of smallpox.
If not, she wouldn't be able to use smallpox to deal with Lin Ziqi, a bastard.
It's just a pity that the Prime Minister can easily abandon Lin Mengchu without losing Lin Ziqi's child.
It was Lin Ziqi who was infected with smallpox. No one expected that the Prime Minister would send Lin Ziqi to "recuperate" outside the mansion. If it were Lin Mengchu, the Prime Minister would have sent Lin Mengchu away from the Prime Minister's mansion long ago.
"Where did you get all those tricks from?"
Auntie's eyes widened, not giving Lin Zixuan a chance to lie to him.
"Don't tell me that you happened to read this from some unreliable medical book."
Lin Zixuan was his aunt's son. How could his aunt guess what was going on in Lin Zixuan's mind?
All aunts were like this, so Lin Zixuan wanted to lie but couldn't.
Auntie had tears in her eyes when she heard Lin Zixuan's voice.
The aunt was so angry that Lin Furong raised the knife and dropped it, so even the imperial doctor expressed her unwillingness to protect her.
Just in case Lin Zixuan commits the crime of deceiving the emperor again due to his debauchery and debauchery, wouldn't both his children be doomed?
Lin Zixuan is much calmer than his aunt.
If it were really used, Lin Mengchu would not be deprived of this credit. Even though his father doted on him and his eldest sister, he did not take the initiative to give himself and his eldest sister this credit.
On the contrary, he himself will dedicate these two methods to the emperor. If they are useful, the emperor will definitely reward them again.
The father's two children were rewarded by the emperor at the same time. If they dare to love each other, the father will foolishly talk to the emperor. This method is Lin Mengchu's idea. Both he and his eldest sister are guilty of deceiving the emperor?
In this regard, taking this step first made my father helpless and had to side with them.
All Lin Zixuan's calculations were revealed by her aunt just by thinking about it.
"I'm just afraid she won't make trouble!"
My aunt took Lin Zixuan's hand and said that she naturally hated what Lin Zixuan said. She hated Lin Mengchu and hated Lin Mengchu for not being willing to give in.
Thinking of her precious daughter, whose right hand has been disabled since then, my aunt's heart felt like a big hole had been broken, and blood was flowing out.
But the daughter's right hand is gone, and her son will never be lost again.
Lin Zixuan comforted his aunt.
Lin Zixuan's voice turned cold and hard.
"Do you want to..."
Aunt understands Lin Zixuan. If Lin Mengchu dares to make a fuss, even if Lin Mengchu makes a fuss with the emperor, only Lin Mengchu will suffer in the end.
If the prime minister reveals that Zixuan lied, it will be a disaster for the prime minister's house.
In this regard, for the sake of the entire Prime Minister's Office, the Prime Minister cannot think that Zixuan possesses Lin Mengchu in front of the emperor.
So Lin Mengchu either had to submit to compromise or obediently handed over his credit to Zixuan and Fu'er.
If Lin Mengchu is unwilling to do so, he will inevitably face the fate of being abandoned by his prime minister.
"Son, is this okay?!"
Auntie's eyes shone brightly and she thought Lin Zixuan's method was not bad.
No wonder Zixuan said that he was afraid that if Lin Mengchu didn't make trouble, but if Lin Mengchu made trouble, the people in their house would still be completely peaceful!
"Why can't it be done?"
Lin Zixuan also hopes that he will be the legitimate son and let his aunt become the wife of the prime minister.
Since then, he has been regarded as the upright eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It's a pity that the person who originally helped Lin Mengchu has now become a stumbling block to his bright future. He will definitely be very strict and kick this stumbling block away!
Once the aunt ascends to the position of mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter whether Lin Mengchu takes up the position of the legitimate daughter, the aunt still has to take care of her.
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Hearing what Lin Zixuan said, her aunt burst into tears with joy. She waited bitterly, looked forward to it, and just waited for this day to come.
Sure enough, Lin Mengchu hated her as much as the two women who died, and they were not as reliable as his own children.
After thinking about it, my aunt felt very proud that Yun Qiandu had survived. Even if she was hundreds of times stronger than herself, it would not be an exaggeration.
At least she is the one showing off her power in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. Lin Mengchu, even Yun Qiandu, can't help her keep guarding her position as the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her pair of children can also win her status.
Although Lin Boran didn't know why the emperor wanted to reward Lin Zixuan and Lin Furong, he learned of Lin Boran's whereabouts as soon as he went to court the next day.
The emperor changed his past gloom and looked happy.
There was no other reason - the emperor's favorite youngest son, the fifteenth prince, was also infected with smallpox this time.
He originally had a high fever, and his state at that time was that Zhou Xuanxi probably had to burn his brain to save his own life, which was almost the same as Lin Zixuan's state.
Thanks to Lin Zixuan's suggestion, he drank strong wine to cool down, and Zixuan kept Zhou Xuanxi.
The emperor was very convinced about this, and Lin Zixuan came up with this solution at such a critical moment.
After hearing what the emperor said, Lin Boran was shocked.
Because Lin Boran already knew from Lin Lixi that the method of cooling with strong alcohol was Lin Mengchu's idea.
However, Zixuan unexpectedly told the emperor that he had come up with this method himself?
Lin Boran knew in his heart that the method of cooling down the temperature with strong liquor and dyeing it with rice vinegar was probably Lin Mengchu's idea, but was robbed by Lin Zixuan and Lin Furong.
"Xia Aiqing?" Seeing Lin Boran's dazed look, the emperor thought that Lin Boran was too happy.
Lin Boran's face was stiff, but he could only kneel in front of the emperor to thank the dragon.
A pair of children were with Lin Mengchu, and Lin Boran did not hesitate and chose to side with Lin Zixuan and Lin Furong.
Lin Boran went to court in such a daze in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lin Boran locked himself in the study for half a day. After walking out, Lin Boran returned to normal.
As for Lin Zixuan's credit for robbing Lin Mengchu, Lin Boran didn't mention a word to Lin Mengchu, not even the slightest debt.
When Shi Xin informed Lin Mengchu of the news aggrievedly, Lin Mengchu only took a sip of tea from the hot teacup.
The steaming tea cup was in sharp contrast with Lin Mengchu's slightly cold fingers.
"Miss?" Baoqin complained about Lin Mengchu's grievances. Obviously this method was thought up by the ladies, and no matter how good the result was, it still fell on the young master and the eldest lady?
Does Mr. Xiang really not care?
Or a word from Shi Xin.
Shi Xin frowned, worried about Lin Mengchu's future.
"Miss, what should I do?"
Hearing Shi Xin's voice, Bao Qin realized that it was okay for his young lady to take credit.
However, once the aunt ascends to the position of mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she can let the ladies have a good life.
Lin Mengchu looked up at the two maids with a smile and said.
Lin Furong, who had just woken up, heard that her arm was probably destroyed in this way, and there was almost no chance of seeking death.
However, after Lin Zixuan persuaded Lin Furong a few words, Lin Furong changed from her previous decline and was no longer as disgusted with the loss of her arm as before.
Lin Zixuan told Lin Furong his plan. Lin Furong's eyes lit up when she heard that Lin Zixuan was going to deal with Lin Mengchu.
"Is this plan really feasible?"
Lin Furong nodded, eager to try it, and felt that it was feasible.
Regardless of whether Lin Mengchu was at odds or not, Lin Mengchu no longer had a foothold in the Prime Minister's Office.
From this point of view, my sister’s mutilated hand is not a symbol of shame, it is a sign of great virtue!
Lin Furong thought of how Lin Mengchu became seriously ill because Lin Boran came to the palace overnight and invited the imperial doctor. This was widely spread among the people in Kyoto and he was a model for women.
Lin Furong's previous resentment towards Lin Zixuan has faded away a lot.
"I just ask if it can surpass Lin Mengchu's previous limelight!"
Lin Furong's eyes flickered and she asked aggrievedly.
Lin Zixuan put a lot of thought into helping Lin Furong and tried his best to create a good atmosphere in Lin Furong's camp.
Lin Furong felt proud in her heart, and she made a big move, touching her injured arm, and her beautiful little face suddenly wrinkled on her mother-in-law's face.
Use spirits to cool down, and sure enough, in many places where smallpox occurs, there are no cases of children dying from high fevers.
Even if there is, even these families do not use spirits to cool down.
In this regard, the two methods given by Lin Zixuan can also be said to have created a very good form.
Lin Zixuan, who was very ambitious and believed that his plan would be seamless, even began to make friends with the men around him.
The key people Lin Zixuan made friends with were the talented people and some of the princes who went to Beijing to take the exam.
Bu Zhanfeng is elegant in a sky-blue gown. The wind is bright and the sun is shining. The corners of Bu Zhanfeng's clothes are gently blowing, making Bu Zhanfeng look more ethereal than a scholar.
Bu Zhanfeng was good at both civil and military arts, he was omnipotent, and his appearance was naturally outstanding.
For women in the boudoir, a talented man like Bu Zhanfeng is indeed a rare good man and son-in-law.
Lin Mengchu smiled coldly, but she understood that these were just Bu Zhanfeng's harmless appearances.
Maybe he felt what Bu Zhanfeng had just said without anyone else watching, and it was just a moment of admiration.
Lin Mengchu has read his inner ambition from Bu Zhanfeng's words!
That's right, she is the prime minister's daughter, not an insignificant daughter of a small family!
Bu Zhanfeng looked at Lin Mengchu, who was sitting quietly, as quiet as a lady, and was amazed.
There are hundreds of flowers blooming in the garden, but under the background of this woman, there is nothing interesting about it, and it becomes the background of women.
The woman's jade-white little face, her shining eyes, and her radiant smile are the most beautiful scenery in this garden.
Bu Zhanfeng sighed again, "How can there be such a perfect woman in the world? If this woman were a direct descendant, she would probably have a bloody fight with the man she wanted to marry."
But precisely because this daughter of the prime minister's house is just a concubine, he can just take a concubine. If he marries a serious wife, it doesn't matter.
But Bu Zhanfeng also knew in his heart that he was just a commoner scholar at best. With such skills, marrying a prime minister's daughter as his wife would not be a concubine.
But it doesn’t matter, after Qiu Wei, I will definitely have such an opportunity!
The young Yijie Hansheng was so frivolous that he thought that the concubine of the prime minister's house was only worthy of being his concubine. If Lin Meng had first known how Bu Zhanfeng was feeling at this time, he would have sneered.
Things that don’t overestimate your own capabilities!
"Second sister is here too." Lin Zixuan saw that Lin Mengchu was still in the garden and didn't pay much attention to greeting Lin Mengchu.
At a critical moment like smallpox, only Lin Zixuan and Lin Furong were left, and they were becoming more and more proud day by day.
There have been very few deaths from smallpox this time. The fewer deaths there are, the greater the contribution of Lin Zixuan and Lin Furong.
Because of this, Lin Furong's courtyard is served by the imperial doctors of the palace every day.
Moreover, Lin Boran became more and more concerned about Lin Zixuan and seemed to have cultivated Lin Zixuan as the future successor of the Prime Minister's Office.
It can be said that the most popular person not only in the prime minister's mansion, but also in the entire city of Kyoto is none other than Lin Zixuan, a popular and talented man in the world.
So now Lin Zixuan arrogantly brings these Qiuwei scholars home, seeming to have forgotten his identity.
"So my concubine is here too." In front of Lin Zixuan and Lin Furong, who were confident and approaching, Lin Mengchu only responded with a shallow smile.
"Sister concubine?" Everyone was shocked when they heard Lin Mengchu call Lin Furong.
Wouldn't Brother Zixuan and Xia Da's daughter be direct relatives?
Lin Zixuan's face was earth-colored, and Lin Furong's face was even more ugly. It felt like Lin Mengchu had taken off her clothes to show everyone his embarrassment.
"My concubine's arm has not recovered yet, so she should rest more in the room. Otherwise, daddy should be worried again."
