"Why do you come here in person? It's important to take good care of your body." The Queen Mother helped Xia Mian, and she became more satisfied as she looked at it. This is their great fortune, so you can't make any mistakes.

"My concubine is okay." Xia Mian said the remarks he had said to Kangxi with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager again. After listening to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, they were amazed. They had been in the harem for so many years, and they had never seen Xia Mian. In this way, if other imperial concubines are pregnant, they can't be so sweet anymore.

"Okay." The Empress Dowager praised, and talked to Xia Mian for a while before letting her go back.

The emperor wanted to celebrate the New Year, and the palace seemed to be lively all at once.

Red lanterns were hung everywhere, firecrackers were crackling, and the stage of Changyin Pavilion also opened gongs. The emperor’s rewards. From today to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you will have to sing for 23 days in a row. enjoy to the full.

This time, not only low-level concubines, but also concubines, concubines, respected concubines, etc. also came here to watch the show, so the people who performed this time did not dare to be sloppy, and they all showed their true skills. It was a wonderful show.

Xia Mian also considered whether she should go and see it, but in the end she decided to forget it. She has too many things to be busy, besides, she has been too eye-catching recently.

As for her busy schedule, first of all, she should write a letter to the family to inform them of her pregnancy, and vaguely mentioned the emperor's promise to promote her to the concubine. The palace concubine is pregnant, the mother's family can come in and visit, if Min Joo is willing...

Min-joo is willing, of course, the new year happened on the day of receiving the letter, which is really good luck in the new year.

Xia Mian's letter said that she was not in a hurry. Her delivery date was in September, but Minzhu couldn't sit still at home for a moment, so she immediately packed up and prepared to rush to the capital.

A woman is pregnant and giving birth is a difficult problem. The daughter is the first child and is in the palace. She is worried that she is young and inexperienced and is wrong to her. She is also worried that others will treat her badly.

"The busier you are, the more mistakes you make. Take care of yourself first. Your daughter has been in the palace for so long, and you still don't know how to take care of yourself." Sarchat stopped her.

It's the new year now, and neither the merchants nor the shops are open yet. Min-joo goes all the way, is she going to sleep in the street? This was nine days. Two days ago, it had snowed, had two cold meals, and lay down in the wild for one night. Even a strong man would become ill. If Minzhu had fallen ill, his daughter would be very anxious.

Isn't that messing with her? She is double now.

Min Joo calmed down and thought of this too, so she could wait at home to wait until when she was the head.

She sulked with Sarchat again after she fell the burden. Of course, he still disliked him for not moving to Beijing, so that she would be able to see her daughter easily.

It was his fault that Sarchat surrendered. But Heilongjiang City had just been built, and it was precisely when it was time to take good care of it. He was 10,000 unwilling to let him leave at this time.

Besides, thanks to the blessing of Xia Mian, the conditions of their family are much better now, and Minzhu wants to go to the capital, um, except for the New Year, don't he go whenever he wants to? Otherwise, she can live in the capital for a longer period of time.

"I will live in the capital this time. My daughter has a house in the capital, so I will live there and never come back. Let you be here alone!" Minzhu hummed.

Sarchat did not refute, he knew she was angry after so many years of husband and wife.

On the contrary, Min-joo felt boring, chanted a few more words, and went on to pack his things. The last time I went to the capital was too rush, she didn't bring many things to Xia Mian, so I can't forget this time.

For the second thing, Xia Mian wanted to contact Gong Zhe to see what was going on and whether he encountered difficulties.

Gong Zhe had a clear heart with her, and before she sent her letter, he sent someone to deliver it.

It turned out that he had visited cows in Shandong and Henan. It was not cowpox at all. Suddenly, he heard that there was an old cow in Shanxi that seemed to have this symptom.

As a farm animal, cattle cannot be killed at will, but this cattle is too old and has many diseases on its body. The owner went to the government to apply for it, and wanted to end its pain. The local prefect knew that Prince Yu was looking for this type of cattle. , He sent someone to report to Prince Yu, and then told Gong Zhe.

Gong Zhe was afraid that the old bull would not be able to hold on to it, and he was afraid of unexpected changes, so he quickly turned to Shanxi, but did not come back.

It turned out that this was the case. Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief.

After writing a pen to reply to him, Xia Mian suddenly thought that Chinese New Year would be coming soon. Shanxi is not far from Gong Zhe's house. Why not let him go home and have a look? Yes, that's it.

After she finished writing the letter, she found some things from the box and packed them together, and let Xiaoxiang hand them to the messenger.

On the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, in Wu County, Shanxi, lights and firecrackers roared everywhere, and everyone was preparing for the New Year.

Chinese New Year is a family reunion, eating dumplings together, sticking Spring Festival couplets together, and welcoming the New Year together, so no matter where you are, you must rush home to celebrate the New Year.

In the Qingshi Village to the west, the yamen were also waiting to go back to celebrate the New Year, so they looked anxious at Gong Zhe.

Gong Zhe was very fortunate. Fortunately, he came directly, otherwise he would definitely regret it.

That's right, this old cow did get cowpox. At the last moment of his life, Gong Zhe got acne scabs, which are vaccinias. With this, he can experiment. If it is true as Xia Mian said, this cowpox can prevent and treat smallpox, and the elimination of smallpox is just around the corner.

This old cow has worked so hard all his life, and finally made such a great contribution to people. Gong Zhe bought the body of the old cow and buried it on its favorite green grass slope. If this cowpox research is successful, Gong Zhe Zhe wants to build a monument for it, so that people can remember its merits.

Later, this Qingcao **** really had a stone monument, and countless people who had escaped the disaster of smallpox came here to pay homage to it. Since then, this Qingshi Village has also been changed to Huangniu Village, which has been circulating for nearly a hundred years.

After handling all this, Gong Zhe planned to return to Beijing to study cowpox immediately. At this moment, he received Xia Mian's letter and things.

Faithful and sincere, Xia Mian didn't mention her pregnancy, but only asked Gong Zhe to go home to see her parents. The stuff in the baggage was given by her to his parents and asked him to take it with him.

Thinking of his parents, and seeing everyone around him reunite, Gong Zhe didn't feel happy.

After opening the package, half of it was a variety of rare medicinal materials, which were rewarded by the Empress Dowager to Xia Mian. Xia Mian felt that she didn't need it, so she gave it to Gong Zhe. Who made Gong Zhe's family a medical family?

The remaining half are treasures of the palace. There is a set of old green jade heads and faces for Gong Zhe’s mother. This color jade is the most suitable for middle-aged women. There were also two bottles of court wine and two Tianhuangshis that he gave to his father, and so on. They were carefully selected at first glance.

Tian Huangshi is known as the "King of Stones" and is an excellent material for engraving seals. Many literati and ink guests couldn't ask for it, and money couldn't buy it. Xia Mian directly gave his father two yuan.

There is also this palace wine. His father usually likes to drink two sips when he is fine. He once boasted that he drank all over the world, but he has not drunk the royal bar in the palace?

And this jadeite face is even more valuable.

There are other things...

Gong Zhe was moved in his heart. He stared in the direction of the capital for a long time before turning and walking in the direction of Shaanxi. He wanted to go home quickly, and then return to Beijing to guard Xia Mian.

On the New Year’s Day, it seems that even the patients in the medical hall suddenly disappeared. Gong Jinshan let the guys go home early for reunion, and he was in the medical hall while reading and waiting, fearing that people in urgent need of medical treatment could not find the doctor. in a hurry.

This time it was the evening, and the warm yellow candlelight was lit up outside, and the roof was smoky, and everyone began to prepare for the reunion dinner.

He then got up, closed the library, and walked home.

Different from the excitement at home in previous years, Gong Zhe was not at home this year, and his wife Chu had no intention of preparing dishes, so he hung up two lanterns at home and made some dumplings. It was indeed Gong Zhe’s favorite three fresh stuffing.

Gong Jinshan stopped and sighed slightly. The child is like a baby bird, one day he will grow up and fly away from him.

only……

He cheered up and smiled, and was about to enter the door, only to see a person coming over there with the cold wind, who was similar in stature to Gong Zhe.

It seems to have grown a bit taller, but how is it possible?

Gong Jinshan shook his head.

"Father!" Gong Zhe said with a choked voice.

"Zheer?!" Gong Jinshan was shocked.

"The child is not filial!" Gong Zhe knelt down on the ground.

"Get up quickly and come back." Gong Jinshan took him and shouted inside, "Madam, who is coming back soon?"

The Chu family didn't have an angry probe from inside, so who else could it be? Isn't it the doctor who came back so late for the Chinese New Year?

Unexpectedly, he saw Gong Zhe at a glance, and missed his son for a long time.

"Zhe'er, is that you?" Chu asked with teary eyes.

"Mother!" Gong Zhe also flushed his eyes.

"It's Zhe'er, Zhe'er is back." The Chu family quickly came out, pulling Gong Zhe up and down and looking up and down, "Is it cold, are you hungry? Hurry up, go in with your mother, and your mother will make you some good food." Pulled Gong Zhe and walked inside.

Just forgot Gong Jinshan outside, Gong Jinshan didn't care, carrying his hands behind his back, and humming a couple of Qin Opera, followed by entering the door.

Re-cooking, stir-frying, sweet and sour pork ribs, chicken, fried crispy fish, as long as Gong Zhe likes, all go up to say hello, the kitchen is full of mist and fragrance, curling into the air.

In the end, Gong Zhe stopped, and the Chu family finally stopped. The family sat at the table and talked about the experience of the past few months.

Gong Jinshan and Chu had nothing to say, they all listened to Gong Zhe.

Gong Zhe said that he won the first prize in the city gate free clinic, the benefits and price of western medicine, and said that he is researching something that can prevent smallpox. Gong Jinshan and Chu were stunned. Thinking of my son going to the capital for only a few months, the experience is so wonderful.

Especially western medicine, if the effect is so good and cheap, the people will be blessed.

"The Taiyuan Hospital is doing experiments now, and it is estimated that it should be promoted next year. The emperor also attaches great importance to this matter." Gong Zhe said excitedly.

Gong Jinshan nodded, and the emperor was really sympathetic to the people. Gong Zhe could help the people by becoming an imperial doctor. It was really worthwhile for him to learn this art of medicine.

There is also the smallpox issue. There are not a few people who die of smallpox every year. Next year will be the New Year. I don’t know how many people will die. Especially, there are many children there. Every time Gong Jinshan sees it, Feeling weak.

If Gong Zhe can prevent and treat this disease, that would be a great thing.

Gong Zhe didn't dare to disclose too much about this, even his parents.

Gong Jinshan also understood, so he didn't ask any more questions. As long as Gong Zhe did a good thing, he was relieved.

"Don't worry, Zhe'er is much better than you." Gong Zhe is promising, and the Chu family is proud of it, so he dared to stab Gong Jinshan.

Gong Jinshan smiled. Qing is better than blue. The more Gong Zhe has achieved, the happier he will be. What is the stabbing sentence?

The smile on Chu's face couldn't stop.

At this time, Gong Zhe suddenly remembered what Xia Mian had brought to them, and quickly brought it out to them.

"Gift from Empress Bao?" The Chu family couldn't remove his eyes when he saw the jadeite head and face. It really was something from the palace. How much does this workmanship and this jade cost?

Gong Jinshan was attracted by the two bottles of royal wine and the two Tianhuangshi. Yujiu, he hadn't drank it yet. And this field of Huangshi, he has always liked it, even if he can't afford it, he can't buy it. Now he got two yuan at once?

However, he wasn't as impatient as the Chu Clan, instead, he asked Gong Zhe sternly, what the **** was going on with Empress Bao, and how could he give them so many precious things.

At this time, Chu also reacted, and hurriedly pricked his ears to listen, for fear that someone would harm her son.

Gong Zhe whispered, and they knew that he had met a noble man!

"After the New Year, I will go back to study the smallpox, and help Empress Baobi." Gong Zhe finally said.

The Chu family couldn't bear it, but he knew that he was happy for Gong Zhe. Her son finally grew up and could be alone.

As for Gong Jinshan, he was very supportive of Gong Zhe and told him to do his own thing, "Don't think of family members."

The three of them sat down again, drank the royal wine, it was really sweet and mellow, and they had a different taste when they ate the Chu family's dishes.

After the fifth day at home, Gong Zhe embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Afterwards, it was Xia Mian's favorite thing, carefully counting the rewards of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, putting the ones that were not used temporarily in the warehouse, and using the ones that he liked.

This pair of pure gold inlaid gemstone objects box Xia Mian likes it very much. Seeing this box, Xia Mian feels that the idiom "buy a cedar and return a pearl" is possible. Just like this pearl, it is not as exquisite as this box.

Xia Mian put them on the table happily, and put them on the table later when there are special favorites.

There is also this golden silk flower sac. The fine gold silk can be woven into such a beautiful flower sac. The craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen is truly amazing.

By the way, there is also this agate cup. The color is just right. She likes it too. She decides to use this cup for drinking water in the future.

Turning to and fro, suddenly a shiny thing caught Xia Mian's attention, is this? She picked up the thing and examined it carefully, and found that it was indeed a carat diamond. This pure color and sparkling light immediately captured Xia Mian's heart.

She immediately decided to make it into a ring and put it on her hand, looking at it every day, pleasing to the eye.

After all the counts were completed, Xia Mian felt that she was about to be corrupted again, this **** rich town!

After drinking a bowl of tea, she was shocked, and then thinking about her plan, she was full of vitality again.
