Chapter 90
"Thanks to Dr. Li, whom you recommended, Mr. Zhang, my father's eye disease has improved a lot."
Qi Lingheng thanked Zhang Cifu.
Master Li Qi is indeed powerful. When he entered the palace last time, he didn't even have to stand in front of his father for his father to be able to see him clearly.
Mrs. Lin’s eyes are also improving, I heard.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to take credit. It's all the doctor's credit. Moreover, this person was recommended by one of my subordinates, and I didn't put any effort into finding him for you."
Zhang Cifu is still very generous. He said: "If the prince wants to reward them, just reward them."
Once you hear this, it will be done.
Qi Lingheng smiled lightly: "I still want to thank you."
After the food and wine were served, they ordered a pot of rice wine and chatted while eating the goosefoot and braised fungus that were served first.
There are also other special dishes that will be served one after another.
Speaking of rewards, we have to talk about the Xia family, Mrs. Xia’s husband, Mr. Xia Liangyi.
He is Zhang Cifu's disciple.
Zhang Cifu wanted to recommend Xia Liangyi to Qi Lingheng this time.
But Qi Lingheng is not wanted by everyone.
Zhang Cifu then talked about Xia Liangyi's background: "When I was teaching Taoism in Kaifeng, I took a fancy to this student's talent and gave him secret guidance."
"He is also a very calm person. He passed the Jinshi examination and became a county magistrate in Kaifeng after being released. He has never claimed that I was his teacher."
"I made some achievements in Runing this year, so I was transferred to the capital."
Qi Lingheng nodded slightly: "I heard something."
He is in the Ministry of Personnel, so he is naturally very familiar with the personnel transfer in the imperial court. Xia Liangyi of Runing is one of the officials transferred this year with outstanding political achievements.
Qi Lingheng said: "Master Zhang, what do you think of this person's character?"
He is different from the prince. The prince likes officials to listen to him and do everything according to the prince's wishes.
He doesn't like to deal with people who are too obedient.
Maybe it was prejudice. He always felt that people who were too obedient could not do good things.
But if you are too disobedient, you are somewhat stupid.
Zhang Cifu said: "Xia Langzhong looks very kind-hearted, but he is actually very decisive in his work." He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you will know when you see him work in the future."
Qi Lingheng had a rough impression in his mind.
Zhang Cifu suddenly said: "There is something wrong with this Xia Liangyi."
Qi Lingheng put down the wine glass and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Cifu shook his head and sighed: "The Xia family and Wudinghou Mansion are related by marriage, so Wudinghou Mansion..." Prince Huan must not like it very much. He didn't know if the prince would be taboo about using people from the Xia family because of this.
Qi Lingheng said, "It doesn't matter."
Since the married daughter is a member of the Xia family, she has no control over the Lu family's affairs.
Zhang Cifu smiled after hearing this and mentioned Taifu Lin by the way: "If Taifu was still here, such a big incident would not have happened to the Lin family."
He actually had little contact with the Lin family. These words of sympathy for the Lin family were only said out of Qi Lingheng's face.
Qi Lingheng really thought that if the teacher was still alive, his daughter's reconciliation wouldn't be so difficult.
I couldn't help but think of what I said to Lin Yunwan in the Red Elephant Temple.
Geckos cut off their tails to survive.
And she also wanted to make peace.
Qi Lingheng held the wine glass tightly again, his eyes a little dark.
Suddenly there was a noise outside, and there was the sound of tables and chairs being smashed.
"what happened?"
Qi Lingheng asked the attendant at the door. The attendant went out to take a look and said, "Your Majesty, there is a fight between guests outside."
Zhang Cifu was shocked: "A fight started?"
Although Jialing Tower was a wine shop run by merchants, it was supervised by the imperial court and people from the official family were behind it. Most people won't do anything here.
Qi Lingheng said quietly: "Let it be quiet outside."
The attendant went out again, but when he came back, it was still quiet outside.
"Your Majesty...it was the uncle of Wudinghou Mansion who got into a fight with a group of people."
The people on both sides were of unusual status, and there were many of them, so the fight was fierce. The shopkeeper of Jialing Tower couldn't persuade him, and he was afraid of being beaten, so he had already called the soldiers patrolling the streets outside to come over and start a fight.
Qi Lingheng went out to take a look.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the shopkeeper outside getting angry: "If you don't stop! I'll take you all to Shuntian Prefecture. You guys will be embarrassed!"
Just as Lu Zhengliu was distracted, he received a punch.
He returned it quickly.
The group of people who beat him were all scholars from wealthy families and were relatively weak.
Lu Zhengliu drank wine and he was already drunk. He was not gentle and beat two or three of them until they screamed.
Scholars are not good at beating people, but they are good at scolding. A few people can't control so much. While scolding Lu Zhengliu for spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, he also greeted his mother and his ancestors.
"I didn't kill my wife!"
Lu Zhengliu smashed a table with his fist, drunkenly grabbed someone's collar and said, "Tell me, which man in the world doesn't take concubines? I, I just made a mistake that all men in the world make... "
He just couldn't let go of the childhood sweetheart he loved when he was young. He just wanted to get rid of the control of his elders.
That's why I did something wrong.
Is it so impossible to forgive!
Lin Yunwan refused to forgive him, so these scholars came to provoke him!
Taking advantage of the alcohol, he shouted: "I am sincere! I am sincere to her!"
He already knows... he didn't do well in the past, and he wants to start over.
"Let me go!"
Who wants to listen to your sincerity?
Letting a concubine get on top of the head wife would be a mess for Tsunasa!
The scholar pushed Lu Zhengliu away, wiped the blood from his nose, looked down upon Lu Zhengliu very much, and cursed: "It's an insult to gentlemen!"
I no longer want to get entangled with Lu Zhengliu.
The servant from Wuding Hou Mansion came over quickly, helped Lu Zhengliu, and whispered, "Uncle, let's, let's go back."
Lu Zhengliu was still talking to himself: "I will be good to her in the future..."
The shopkeeper came over with a dark face and said: "You broke my things, can you still leave if you want? Pay me compensation before leaving!"
The boy said angrily: "My uncle treated you in your shop and got beaten for nothing. You still have the nerve to ask for money!"
The soldiers patrolling the streets came, and the people on both sides, as well as the shopkeeper, all became honest.
Several people came to Qi Lingheng and Zhang Cifu's private room one after another. It took more than an hour before they went back.
"Afu."
Back at the palace, Qi Lingheng was a little drunk.
Ah Fu came over and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want sobering soup? The kitchen is cooking, it's almost ready."
Qi Lingheng pinched the center of his eyebrows and said, "The jade pendant from Duke Xingguo's mansion must be sent back to the pawnshop owner."
Ah Fu didn’t understand: “Send it back?”
Qi Lingheng closed his eyes and said, "Send it to Wuding Hou Mansion."
Didn't Lu Zhengliu say that he was sincere? He still wanted to be with Lin Yunwan?
When he gets the jade pendant of the legitimate daughter of Duke Xingguo, will he want a concubine far away in Zhuangzi, or will he use his identity as the legitimate daughter of Duke Xingguo to curry favor with Duke Xingguo?
Lin Yunwan is so smart and knows how to use this jade pendant.
