Chapter 2273 Light Gate Lintel 73

Xining took the Tang Pozi next to him and covered it: "This thing is really good. It's compact. But it's a little too small. It seems to be in the middle of the sun and it's very hot. It will cool down soon, and you'll have to fill it with water. You can choose a larger one." , it may not need to be changed frequently, and it is more stable, but it is heavy to hold and will cause blisters if it gets too hot. It depends on the user's thoughts. ”

The second prince is the big Tang Pozi. He has a solid foundation, but if he is really supported, the strength of the foundation behind him is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Huoyun Villa may be powerful in the world, but in the court, he may not be a century-old family and a veteran of three dynasties. , generations of hairpins, and intermarriage rivals.

Guo Siyuan thought for a while: "It's better to use a smaller one when covering your hands. Even if you often need to change hot water, Huoyun Villa has no shortage of firewood and water."

Zhao Kang has a weak foundation, so he will have to rely more on his new confidants in the future. The Huoyun Mountain Villa has a big business, and its annual income and manpower can support it for a period of time.

The two talked about other things tacitly, but they actually understood what the other wanted to say. But the other party didn't say anything. Even if he poked him outside, he just said that he was covering his hands.

There was silence in the room. After a while, Xining spoke again: "I am young and don't know about the affairs of the world. I don't know if there are any relatives who are officials in Huoyun Villa, or if the married daughter has any relatives. It will be easier for me to go to Jingzhong in the future. I have someone to look after me and I have a good idea. Otherwise, even if I go there, I will be in the dark and not know what to do. "< br>


If you have never been in the court, you will really have no idea how to stand, how to speak, and how to participate in the music. It was not impossible for merchants to become officials in the dynasty. They were all promising and well-educated children who had obtained merit and then entered the dynasty as officials. Now that Huoyun Villa wants to intervene in the court, it was originally prepared to suppress him like a fool. Without a relative who is an official, it is even more difficult to do so.

After hearing this, Guo Siyuan pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Four generations of merchants in Huoyun Villa have created this family business. They started to train their children very early, but it's a pity that there are only one or two smart ones, and they still need to inherit." Family fortune. The others were all mediocre people. After a few scholars were born, no one passed the imperial examination. The side branch spent a lot of effort to get a concubine from a scholarly family as his wife, and produced several good ones. , but he is still young and it will take a few years to take the scientific examination.”

"My fourth uncle's only daughter was given a dowry of one hundred thousand taels of silver, five hundred acres of fertile land, and ten shops in the past two years. She was married to the eldest daughter of the Earl's Mansion in Beijing. She is also considered a blood relative of my family. This is the Earl of Yongchang. The family has fallen into decline, and apart from the cousin-in-law who has inherited the title, there is only one son in the court who is serving as a casualty, otherwise he would not have wanted the daughter of a merchant to be his successor. "

This is how well-matched it was in ancient times. How difficult it was for a merchant to enter the court and become an official. You must know that pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and Mr. Xiu's repair all cost a lot of money. If you want to be top-notch, you should take classes from famous teachers or even great Confucianists. It is even more difficult for a poor family to provide a scholar.

The only daughter of the four sons of Huoyun Villa, her dowry assets amounted to 30 to 50 million according to market value, so she became the second wife of the dilapidated Earl's Mansion.

Xining asked: "Is it available?"

Guo Siyuan replied: "The Earl's Mansion regards itself as a noble family and does not take us seriously."

Well, that is to say, your fourth uncle spent a lot of money to marry his daughter, and was looked down upon by the husband's family, just so that the child he would have in the future could become a member of the Earl's House.

Xining smiled and rubbed her hand against the thick brocade wrapped by Yu Pozi. Sighing slightly: "Then let it go for now. It's best if nothing happens. If anything happens, just check how much dowry is left of your Countess's cousin's wife. I don't believe that there are no holes in his family that need to be filled with money. If you don't want to let the censor Taiwan has something to do, so at least it won’t cause trouble.”

Anyone who uses his wife's dowry at this time is as shameless as eating soft rice. If the Earl's Mansion marries a merchant's daughter as his official wife, there is definitely nothing he can do about it. It is better to marry a merchant's wife than to beg for food on the streets with the whole family. If this earl dares to cause trouble, he will check the dowry and let the gang of Yushitai officials get involved, which will cause him to suffer from myocardial infarction and hemiplegia.

He even went one step further and asked for help. With this handle, why not help with suggestions? Even if it is ruined, there are still three points of weakness in the court.

Guo Siyuan clapped his hands secretly and couldn't help but look up and down: "How do you know so much? Could it be that the mountain monsters have become spirits?"

Xining smiled, but before she could speak, a voice came from outside the door: "Hello, madam."

"Get out of the way!" came the rude voice of a woman.

A noble lady over forty years old, wearing a fine brocade cotton-padded jacket, with a beautiful face and a headband set with rubies and emeralds walked in. Also coming in were seven or eight women and maids. Guo Siyuan stood up and saluted: "Mother."

Then he faced her awkwardly: "This is my mother, Guo Qianshi."

Then he introduced Mrs. Guo: "This is the little miracle doctor I invited from Beijing."

Xining smiled and saluted Mrs. Guo. I thought my mother bravely went to the dinner table for her son. When I got to the door, the mother-in-law pushed aside the maid who was guarding the door, and everyone rushed in with a cheer.

Guo Qian walked to the main seat next to him and sat down, already looking up and down. If she hadn't been still young and had grown up in another two or three years, this look would have been as if she was scrutinizing someone who didn't know whether to live or die, daring to seduce her precious son to see the goods.

In fact, you can rest assured that I am not interested in your son, not even in ten years. It looks okay, she looks pretty and can eat two more bowls of rice, but after all, she is not the same as my sister, and the body owner can't wait.

Seeing that the little miracle doctor is indeed still young, his body has not yet grown, and his face is ordinary. He can only be said to be childlike and delicate, and his skin is tanned, which is not related to beauty.

Guo Qian's tone became much softer: "I heard that the little miracle doctor is here. My Yuan'er has never been so enthusiastic and attentive, so I came here to have a look. I am also curious as to how the little miracle doctor can have such medical skills at such a young age. It just so happens that I I have been feeling a little unwell recently. Please ask the little miracle doctor to take a pulse check. ”

Hehe, this play always happens one after another, both in the palace and in this merchant's home.

"Mother~" Guo Siyuan frowned, there was resentment in his words, but he didn't dare to get angry.

"It doesn't matter. Doctors have a parent's heart. Since Mrs. Guo is here, it doesn't matter if she takes her pulse." Xining smiled, faced Guo Siyuan, and extended a slap in the face: "Fifty taels for diagnosis."

Guo Siyuan choked, suddenly out of breath, and started coughing.

Guo Qianshi immediately laughed. Each dish of the banquet he had just finished was worth three or five taels, but to ask for medical fees at this time was simply more philistine than their merchants. So he told the woman next to him: "Go and get ten taels."

"Yes, madam." The mother-in-law went to dig out the purse she carried with her.

"No! It only costs five taels." Xining said seriously, looking like an old doctor in the palace: "Currently, my consultation fee is five taels, and no matter who it is, the price is the same. Even if the doctor in the palace The queen mother, the emperor, and the queen all paid only five taels.”

Everyone was stunned, but Guo Siyuan was relieved at this time and helped: "If the little miracle doctor comes to the palace to diagnose the pulse of the Queen Mother, the Holy Emperor and the Queen, he will only accept five taels of silver."
