Even though my grandfather taught my father a lesson, my father would not be angry. My father loved my mother and was very kind to my mother's family. Secondly, my father also respected my grandfather, so he naturally wouldn't care about this.
The family talked and laughed for a while, and then Meng Shu got down to business.
"Father, Sister Ru came to visit today. They have moved to the capital. Her husband was transferred to the Xuanjia Camp as a sixth-grade minister. It seems that he has been demoted one level, but the official position in the capital is not that of the Northwest Army. "Moreover, did my father secretly help them?" If not, then it was Cao Weizhong who had disturbed their Cao family's previous relationship in Beijing.
However, people are tired of tea. Even if their grandfather used to be a second-rank official, he has been dead for more than ten years. Even if Cao Weizhong comes to visit, no one may buy it.
Meng Shu felt that this matter should be her father's handiwork.
"Yes." Meng Huaian nodded: "You have been in the northwest for many years, and you are just such a close friend. The Cao family wanted to move to Beijing, so I helped you."
When Meng Huaian said this, a smile appeared on his face: "You can continue to walk around with Cao Ru in the future. It's good to have someone to talk to you."
He always loved his daughter and took everything into consideration.
In fact, even Wei Qingyun, he had sent people to secretly investigate him in the past few years, and he thought he was good, so he planned to marry his daughter. Unexpectedly, something like this happened.
"Thank you, father." Meng Shu hurriedly blessed himself.
She was very happy that Cao Ru could come to Beijing.
There are some private things in a daughter's family that are not allowed to be shared with her parents, but it is different for the little sisters in the boudoir. We can often chat for an hour or two, and still feel that there is still more to talk about.
"I'm your father, no need to say thank you, just sit down!" Meng Huaian said with a smile.
"Father, mother, I received a letter from master in the afternoon, asking me to go to his house tomorrow and tell me anything important." Meng Shu remembered this and quickly informed the two elders.
Meng Huaian looked at his wife after hearing this.
Mrs. Lu nodded: "Then go ahead, take a few more people out, be careful on the road, go early and come back early."
"Actually, it would be great if we could go quietly and avoid the eyes and ears of those aristocratic families in the capital." Meng Huaian thought for a moment and whispered.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Master's residence is not far from our Duke's residence. This area is where dignitaries live, and there are many eyes and ears. Even if my daughter dresses up in disguise and goes through the back door, someone may find out her identity." Meng Shu thought. After thinking for a while he said.
Unless I go secretly at night, my father and mother will definitely not agree.
This was not Guiyun City. As a legitimate daughter of a prince, she had no reason to secretly climb over the wall at night.
"Then go ahead and do it openly. Anyway, you are a disciple of Master Bai Xian. Sooner or later, you won't be able to hide it." Mr. Lu was the first to make the decision.
"Listen to your mother!" Meng Huaian nodded in agreement after hearing what his wife said.
"Father, my master..." Meng Shu hesitated before speaking.
"He has not contacted me since he entered the palace and was ordered by the Queen Mother to refine elixirs for the emperor. Last time I met him by chance in the palace, I wanted to say a few words to him, but he pretended not to know me. Just left." Meng Huaian shook his head.
He didn't know what Bai Yuanze meant.
"Then I will ask the master personally after I go there tomorrow." Meng Shu said quickly.
Meng Shu's grandmother Jiang came from a century-old medical family.
The ancestor of the Jiang family was an imperial physician in the previous dynasty.
The medical skills passed down by the family for hundreds of years are extremely advanced.
The head of the Jiang family will most likely become the president of the Taiyuan Hospital.
The person in charge of Tai Hospital now is Mr. Jiang’s nephew.
Being born in such a family, Jiang has been influenced by it and has been studying medicine since she was a child. In addition, she is very smart and her medical skills are no worse than those of her father and brother.
At that time, Mr. Jiang often treated the ladies and ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing.
Later, she married into the British government and followed her mother-in-law's arrangements, so she rarely treated people.
Now that Mrs. Jiang is old, except for her old sisters, she rarely prescribes prescriptions for people to take care of themselves.
Meng Shu had such a powerful grandmother and was doted on by her grandmother. She also learned some medical skills from her childhood.
When she was eight years old, she followed her grandmother to a Taoist temple outside Guiyun City to offer incense. She was noticed by Bai Yuanze, known as Bai Xianshi, and he quietly accepted her as a disciple. Only then did she start learning medical skills from the Eight Classics.
Bai Yuanze's medical skills are no worse than those of the Jiang family. He can also tell people's fortunes, make elixirs, etc.
The medical skills that Meng Shu learned were the combined strengths of both families, and were even more outstanding than those of his disciples in the Taoist temple.
Compared with the future palace physicians carefully trained by the Jiang family, they are no less generous.
Especially the Nine-turn Golden Needle technique taught by Bai Yuanze, she was the only one who learned it.
Therefore, Bai Yuanze treats Meng Shu better than those disciples.
Not long after Meng Shu set out for the capital a few months ago, she heard that a White Immortal Master had appeared in the palace. He was extremely good at refining elixirs and was relied upon by the Queen Mother to refine elixirs for the emperor.
She was confused at the time, but later she found out that Master Bai Xian was her master.
Meng Shu once wanted to visit him, but she received a letter from Bai Yuanze, telling her not to come and pretend not to know him.
Unexpectedly, she received another letter from Master today, asking her to come to her door tomorrow and tell her something important.
What is going on?
Meng Shu was still very curious.
……
At the same time, it was getting late in the Taiqian Palace, and the emperor was about to take a rest, but he heard a message from the eunuch saying that Master Bai Xian was ordered by the Queen Mother to give the emperor a safe pulse.
The emperor heard the words and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes full of ridicule.
The Queen Mother really cared about him, so she asked the imperial doctor to check Ping An's pulse sooner or later. Even Bai Yuanze, who was in charge of refining the elixir, was called over to check his pulse.
The queen mother could not wait to help King Wei ascend the throne, and she hoped that he would die soon.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that Master Bai Xian's medical skills are as good as those of Jiang Yuan. She is worried about your health, so she sent him over to take your Emperor's pulse." Wang Fusheng said cautiously.
In fact, the Queen Mother is too lazy to cover up now.
If she really cared about the emperor's health, how could she not come to Taiqian Palace to see the emperor for ten and a half days?
Although during the morning court, the Queen Mother listened to the affairs behind the curtain, the mother and son could see her.
But a mother who really cares about her son will not just send the imperial doctor here but not do anything herself.
In the past, they also thought that the Queen Mother was very good to the emperor. After knowing the truth, they realized that the so-called "goodness" was all superficial.
"Please invite Master Bai to come in!" the emperor said calmly.
"Yes!" Cui Jingyu, who was standing aside, responded and quickly went outside to invite someone.
A moment later, Bai Yuanze came in wearing Taoist robes.
Bai Yuanze, who is nearly fifty years old, looks much younger than his peers. He has a fairy-like demeanor and has the demeanor of a worldly master.
When he was young, he had an accident while refining alchemy, and his right hand was severely burned. Although he was treated in time, some meridians and flesh and blood were stuck together, which was a bit scary, so he wore gloves all year round.
