Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Faced with Zhao Qian's warm affection, Li Wei was deterred this time. She heard the voices of Shujia and Li Xing getting closer, so she hurriedly lifted the letter paper in her hand onto the candle, and the paper burned as soon as it touched sparks. When Li Xing and Shujia entered the house, she had already cleaned up the ashes.

Shujia and Li Xing walked hand in hand, and Shujia looked really happy.

"Mother, my aunt brought me a lot of interesting things."

"Happy, happy, you two will go to school together tomorrow. I will test your homework again later."

Shujia has learned a lot these days, and she is not afraid of taking the exam. Instead, she asks Li Wei: "When can sister Caizhi come in and teach me medicine?"

Li smiled and said, "It should be soon. Are you so impatient?"

"Yes, I just want to follow along."

"Before Caizhi told you to watch "Su Wen" and "Lingshu", did you watch it?"

"I saw it, I can't recognize the words on it, nor can I understand it, it always feels like a heavenly book."

"Don't worry, follow along slowly."

Lu Caizhi was born in a family of medicine, and she also has the ability to cure diseases and save people. She is a rare talented woman in this era. Looking at the whole Daqi, I am afraid that there are not a few capable women like Lu Caizhi, but because of the limitations of the times, it is difficult for women to step on the stage of performance and realize their value. I don't know how many Lu Caizhi were buried.

Lu Caizhi has outstanding medical skills and is a rare talent. In the early years, she had heard that the daughters of the Lu family were extremely outstanding. In addition to capable women like Lu Caizhi, there were also Lu Caiping in the Lu family. It was said that Caiping also learned poetry at a few years old, and has been reading Confucian classics since she was a child. , Qinqi, calligraphy, calligraphy, poetry, song and poetry are not as good as Lu Caiping, especially a beautiful article, even a man will sigh.

This kind of Ruyi is known to most of the capital, but she has no use for her. It is said that she was married at the age of fifteen, but her life was not very good. She was married in less than two years. Because her husband kept the outside room secretly, she was disliked by her mother-in-law again. She had nothing to do during her marriage. She lived very depressively at her husband’s house. Naturally, the talented woman’s ideas were different from others. It was when her husband betrayed her. When she was partial, she wrote a divorce letter to her husband and asked for her husband. The incident was quite a mess. I have only seen divorced his wife since, but Husband has never heard of it. Li Wei didn't know exactly how Li Wei was sentenced in the yamen, but then Lu Caiping did move out of her husband's house.

Therefore, this incident seemed a bit shocking at the time, and her husband's family couldn't stay any longer, but her family felt that Lu Caiping had lost the face of the Lu family and did not accept her.

Lu Caiping went to live in his dowry Zhuangzi, chanting wind and moonlight all day, and had a good time.

Li Wei suddenly thought of this person and wanted to see him. Right now, it is the occasion of employing people. If Lu Caiping is really talented, he can also use this to promote her.

So when Lu Caizhi came into the palace for the second time, she talked to Caizhi about it.

Caizhi was a little surprised when she heard the Queen Mother's request: "The elder sister of the maiden has long been ignorant of the affairs of the world. She recited poems with a group of literati and poems every day, and often went out to travel, and she didn't know where she was now.

"Oh? It's kind of interesting. You tell your father for me, if you want to get in touch with your sister, you say that the queen mother wants to see her."

Although Caizhi didn't know what the Queen Mother would do to see her apostate sister, she still agreed to help spread the word.

Caizhi entered the palace this time to accompany the nine princesses, and to teach the nine princesses some medical knowledge in his free time. But Shujia was really interested in it, and he paid homage to Caizhi as a teacher, and followed it wholeheartedly. Li Xing still followed Su Da's lady to learn female red. Things in the palace are relatively peaceful.

The Hui Medical Department has officially started operation. It is said that people who come to see the doctor have to queue up every day. Therefore, there is a shortage of doctors. Li Wei asked the officials in charge of the Hui Medical Department to recruit a group of suitable doctors from the private sector, and the court paid salaries.

Two days before the Double Ninth Festival, the master of Sanqingguan came to the palace to send the name talisman, and Li Wei left the master of Qingyuan to sit in Chongqing Palace. The master of Qingyuan said that the weather has been cool recently, and the leaves on the mountain have turned yellow, making it suitable for mountaineering and overlooking.

The Lord's words moved Li Wei's heart, and he said to her: "Well, we go to Sanqingguan for a few days on the Double Ninth Festival. It doesn't make much sense to be bored in the palace all day long."

The fact that Li Wei wanted to see Lu Caiping reached Du Yu's ears. It was originally a trivial matter who the queen mother wanted to see, but who was Lu Caiping, the queen dowager would have thoughts about such a person. Du Yu couldn't guess what the Queen Mother was going to do, but he remembered this trivial matter in mind.

To stay in the palace for a few days, this time Li Wei still took Li Xing and Shujia with him, and even Caizhi. Some young girls around are also lively.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the day, the chariot entered the Sanqing Temple. As soon as he stepped off the sedan chair, Li Wei saw the tall ginkgo tree in Sanqingguan courtyard. At this time, the ginkgo tree had slowly turned yellow. Coupled with the blue sky and white clouds, this warm yellow makes people feel warm.

Shujia followed the little Taoist in Guanli to pick up ginkgo, twittering like a bird out of the cage. It seems to be bored in the palace for a long time.

Li Wei turned his head to see Li Xing standing there with a smile watching the people running in the yard and asked: "Aren't you fighting with them?"

Li Xing said blankly: "I am a big girl, so I won't fight with the children."

Li Wei heard that he just smiled.

At night, I went to Lu Caizhi and brought her specially formulated foot bath, which was filled with dried herbs and a handful of safflower.

"You soaked this queen mother, keep your hands and feet warm all winter, no longer chills."

Li smiled and said, "I'm not a few years older than you. I also pay attention to physical exercise, so I am not so afraid of the cold. But thank you for making these for me. My body warms up and sleep is sweet at night."

In Sanqing Temple, Li Wei asked Li Xing to sleep next to her.

The sisters lay in bed and talked about their father's illness, and Li Wei also looked away: "Our father will not get better for a while. As long as he can survive this winter, he won't be afraid until the beginning of spring next year."

Li Xing asked nervously, "Queen dowager, will my father die because of this?"

Li Wei was silent for a while before saying: "I can't tell, but he is very likely to leave at any time in this state. You must be psychologically prepared."

Li Xing was very depressed. He heard Li Wei say again: "Our medical standards are too poor, and medical staff are far from enough, so the average life expectancy is low. Only by developing medical care can we improve the quality of life and prolong life. ."

Before Li Wei was about to dream, Li Xing whispered in his ear: "Queen dowager, when will the prince come back?"

"Do you miss him?"

Li Xing said shyly: "Don't laugh at me, the queen mother, I just ask casually."

Li Wei said: "Maybe there are still a few months."
