Tao Zang Xuan Zhi
Chapter 16
Maybe he was in an agitated mood, maybe he was sad and tired for days. The moment he stepped into Magnolia Residence, he felt an overwhelming sense of sleepiness. Zhong Wanling slowly walked into the front hall with staggering steps, holding on to the sandalwood backrest and looking at the empty hall. Finally, she sat down tiredly on a chair and fell asleep leaning on the coffee table at hand.
In fact, not everyone is qualified to go to the mountain to deliver a funeral. The servants of Magnolia Residence had been told as early as the night before that Miss Wanlan would not attend the funeral, so someone would stay behind. However, the maids, guards and servants who stayed behind waited and waited but did not see the young lady coming back, so they went about their own business.
Not long after Zhong Wanling came back, the maids quickly discovered her. It’s just that the lady can’t be woken up no matter how much she screams. The maids immediately panicked. But at this stall, not to mention the people from Lao Xianmen who can make the decision, all the immortal doctors in Laoshan area went to the top of Lao Mountain to see off the old lady, and they had nowhere to turn to for help. They could only let the guards guarding the courtyard carry Zhong Wanling back to the boudoir in the east building. They were all waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, hoping that someone would come back soon.
Until evening, Zhang Zhoumu and his wife returned to the city. As soon as the two came back, they were stopped by the attendant waiting at the mountain gate. The attendant whispered to the two of them about the situation in Magnolia Residence.
Zhang Zhoumu and his wife were naturally very worried. After all, the last time Zhong Wanling was in coma, he had to ask the chief of Yaowang Valley to save him.
Fortunately, Zhong Wanling was not in a coma this time. Zhong Shujuan personally diagnosed her daughter's pulse and concluded that excessive sadness and worry led to cold and fever, which was not serious. The two couples were relieved.
But neither couple expected that Zhong Wanling's illness lasted for more than a month. The condition kept coming back and forth. After the fever, he coughed, and then the cough continued and the fever continued. He could not come out of the bedroom, and their hearts also changed. Zhu Zhong Wan Ling's condition has been ups and downs, and she is very anxious.
However, Zhang Zhoumu and his wife are not the only ones paying attention to Zhong Wanling's condition. As soon as this matter came out, there were many people in the Laoxian sect who wanted to find out what happened and who wanted to see the joke. However, surprisingly, the first person to visit the patient was King Yan.
It was the early morning of the third day after the old lady's funeral. Last night, Zhong Wanling had a high fever, and Zhong Shujuan spent the whole day thanking guests behind closed doors, giving injections, and dispensing medicine, but still with no results. Zhong Shujuan originally wanted to refuse King Yan's visit, but King Yan was particularly strong this time and she couldn't stop him at all.
However, King Yan really came to see Zhong Wanling, even though Zhong Wanling was still in a state of high fever and lethargy.
"His Royal Highness King Yan."Because of what happened in the past few days, Zhong Shujuan had some grudges against this close acquaintance. In addition, Zhong Shujuan's condition did not improve. Zhong Shujuan reluctantly bowed as a salute.
King Yan walked to Zhong Wanling's door. Beside the bed. The girl on the bed had her eyes closed, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her face was flushed. She looked very ill at first sight. However, in King Yan's view, Zhong Shujuan's fear and worry were completely unnecessary. He knew that this girl She will get through it, and this predicament will not trap her for too long.
King Yan has not cultivated immortality and Qi, nor has he opened his eyes to observe luck; he has never studied medicine, so it is impossible for him to diagnose and treat diseases. However, there are some things that are clear to him. People just understand. Maybe this is the reason why it takes a hundred years to become a spirit and a thousand years to become a monster. Even a mortal like King Yan who has no interest in cultivating immortals will naturally be able to see further when he lives a long time.
King Yan looked deeply Taking a look at Zhong Shujuan, she sighed softly:"Don't worry too much, Wanlan is not an ordinary person, auspicious people have their own destiny."
These words sounded like a sarcastic remark to Zhong Shujuan's ears. They were extremely ironic. Zhong Shujuan's face turned pale with anger. She couldn't help biting her lower lip and glared angrily at this elder who had been friends with her in the past.
King Yan did not pay attention to this. He sat on the bedside, silently watching the sick girl, and sighed infinitely in his heart. My sister really chose a good candidate. However, God did not follow people's wishes. This child was still a fledgling, and the only umbrella that could protect him from the wind and rain was already there. It collapsed. Although he was determined to fulfill his sister's wish, things went against his wishes, and now he has to leave. Once he leaves, it is almost foreseeable how those stupid ordinary people will treat this child. Zhang Shiyin is also very anxious, He didn't think that far. His daughter had a high fever and stayed awake all day and night, which was enough to make him anxious. When his brother-in-law Zhang Xu arrived, he also brought news: the emperor did not pursue the couple's early departure from Huaining and rushed back to Lao Xianmen. However, it was only one month.
According to the tradition of the Southern Tang Dynasty, immediate family members had to pay seven tributes to the deceased, and the heirs had to observe filial piety for the deceased, which could range from two to three years to seven or seven. Forty-nine days. One month is really not that much, and it is not enough to complete the Qiqi Anling. However, Huaining is an important border area, and it may not even be allowed to attend funerals. Now, His Majesty the Emperor can graciously grant a month's leave. It's hard to guarantee that it's not because of the old lady's royal family background. But now seeing his daughter being tortured by illness, his wife, a miracle doctor, having trouble curing her, and all he can do is worry about it, Zhang Shiyin still feels that this month The vacation was so short that he didn't even know if he could see his daughter recover.
Zhang Shiyin looked sad and couldn't help but sigh again. Wan Lan, a child with a light fate, was cursed again, and this time After suffering such a big shock, I don't know if the child can survive this time.
King Yan comforted him:"My dear grandson, don't worry, Shujuan will definitely be able to cure my daughter-in-law." As for demobilization, I have already written to His Majesty to ask for your permission. With your Majesty's permission, you and your wife will mourn at Laoxianmen this year and return to Huaining next year. The edict should arrive tomorrow."
Zhang Zhoumu and his wife were both surprised and happy, and they quickly raised their hands and thanked them:"Thank you, Your Majesty! King
Yan waved his hand and said with a smile:"My virtuous grandson and virtuous grandson-in-law are so polite. After the death of a close relative, the court should have allowed you two to return home to observe filial piety." If it weren't for the fact that Huaining wanted the land and the two of you were indispensable, you two should have been allowed to observe mourning for two years. Again, this is what Your Majesty meant. You two guarded the border and defended the Tang Dynasty against the invasion of the Jin Kingdom countless times. Your Majesty has the intention to reward you. The border has been peaceful recently, so why not allow you to rest for a while?"
Zhang Shiyin finally felt relieved, but he still had some concerns.
King Yan saw Zhang Shiyin's concerns and smiled happily. No matter how other people commented on this scholar, he felt that he was a talented person with good character. His great-niece is really lucky, both in having a daughter and in choosing a husband.
"Don't worry, my dear grandson-in-law, I have ordered the Yan army to fully assist the Huaining Mansion. After the great victory at Chaotianmen, Hou Jin lacked generals and it was impossible to invade again in the short term. It was a pity that he missed the opportunity to go straight to Huanglong and eliminate those wolves in one fell swoop.……"King Yan sighed regretfully."Even if there is a small-scale invasion, General He is not mediocre. This is not the first time he has joined forces with the Yan army. It will not be difficult to deal with it."
Zhang Shiyin knew that everything King Yan said was reasonable, so he was relieved and grateful. He said:"I have been well taken care of by the prince for a long time."
King Yan shook his head happily, and when he saw the girl on the bed again, he still felt very sorry."If your virtuous grandson-in-law really wants to repay me, why not take good care of my daughter-in-law."
Both Zhang Zhoumu and his wife were a little surprised. Judging from what happened when Zhong Wanling contradicted Wang Jia in front of Baishou Garden, King Yan must have harbored feelings for Zhong Wanling. It's okay to be dissatisfied, why would you still take care of her?
"This child is a malleable talent, and my sister did not choose the wrong person, whether it is the spiritual talent you call, or judgment and action." Recalling the confrontation in front of Baishouyuan that day, King Yan had to admit that , such agility and tenacity are rare even in his lifetime."Whether it is intelligence or character, she is far better than others."
Zhang Zhoumu and his wife were both surprised that King Yan had such a high opinion of Zhong Wanling. King Yan thought for a moment and said,"Is it your Xuantian selection at the end of this year?"
Zhong Shujuan didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned Xuantian's selection, but she still replied honestly:"Yes.
King Yan smiled reassuringly and said,"That's a coincidence." It just so happens that you and your wife can spend some time with Wanlan and prepare for the exam with her."
Zhang Zhoumu and his wife both looked embarrassed. Zhong Shujuan couldn't help but think of the Xuantian selection many years ago. Her brother reluctantly gave up the spot to her and hid behind others and cried for several days. Zhang Shiyin, on the other hand, He has always been reluctant for his daughter to set foot in the world of immortality. Although he knew that his daughter was extremely talented, he still felt that a woman would be happier if she married a good husband and raised children. King Yan glanced at her, both of whom showed embarrassment. Zhang Zhoumu and his wife sighed softly."You should choose more rationally.……"It's a pity that choosing this kind of thing is always a personal matter and no one can control it.
"Prince?"
King Yan shook his head."It's nothing."He stood up, looked down at Zhong Wanling, who was still sleeping, and turned to leave.
Zhang Zhoumu and his wife escorted King Yan to the door of Magnolia Residence, followed by Zhang Shangshu's family. The early morning sun shone on the bluestone path in front of Magnolia Residence. , King Yan's bodyguards stood in front of the door in high spirits and neatly, waiting for their leader and master.
King Yan turned around.
The bright and fresh morning light passed through the remaining mist of the night and fell on the two families. Zhang Shiyin and Zhong Shujuan stood leaning on each other on the left. On the right was the elegant and upright talented Zhang Xu. Behind them was a little girl who poked her head and looked out curiously. On the other side was Zhong Shuhua, who was holding a sleeping baby in her arms. The idea that"children and grandchildren will have their own blessings" suddenly came into King Yan's mind.
He finally smiled with relief and said:"Two worthy sons-in-law, I will leave my two great-nieces in your care. I will leave Lao Xianmen today, and I won’t be able to see you again in the short term."
Everyone was surprised and puzzled. Only Zhang Xu showed a look of injustice and regret.
King Yan didn't care at all. He turned around and waved his hand, facing the sun, and walked away with a group of guards. He left as calmly as when he came.
