Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 133 Well-read

"He drank it." Uncle Quan said, "When the time came, I woke the old man up to drink the medicine. After drinking the medicine, the old man slept until dawn."

"Thank you, Grandpa Quan. I forgot about this when I fell asleep last night." Xiao Caoer said embarrassedly. "How did Grandpa Zheng sleep last night?"

Mr. Zheng touched Xiao Cao'er's head and said, "Grandpa slept well. You are still young, and you shouldn't worry about these things. Xiao Cao has worked hard these past two days."

"I didn't do anything, so it wasn't hard at all." Xiao Cao said with a smile, "On the contrary, Mr. Zheng, you have to attend classes at the academy, and when you get home, you have to tutor your brothers. You are more tired, otherwise your illness wouldn't have been so sudden this time."

Zheng Huaming also thought of this problem: "Grandfather, why don't we postpone the classes at the private school, or go every few days? I am getting older, and going to the private school every day will be too much work for me."

"We'll discuss it with them and we'll just go once or twice every ten days. If not, we won't go at all. Let Zhuqing and the others stop living in the academy and come back to live in the mansion. It's not far away and it only takes a quarter of an hour to drive a carriage there."

"Let's talk about the private school later. Zhuqing and the others are all taking the exam this time." Mr. Zheng said.

"Or we can find someone else to take care of it, and have the old man supervise from the side. This will be easier." Qi Xingyun suggested.

"Even if we find someone else, it's a big taboo to change the leader at the last minute. I can just choose whether to go to the school during this period." Mr. Zheng disagreed with Qi Xingyun's proposal.

Zheng Huaming was relieved when he heard his grandfather say that he would not go to the private school during this period. He was really afraid that his grandfather would insist on going.

Zheng Huaming really treated Yang Zhuqing as his own family this time. In the past, he just treated him as an apprentice of his grandfather and they were not very close. After his grandfather fell ill this time, it was thanks to them that he got the life-saving medicine, so now he treated Yang Zhuqing as his own family from the bottom of his heart.

What's more, their family also contributed two high-yield grain varieties, which solved the basic food and clothing problems of the people and the soldiers on the border. My grandfather was full of praise for this.

Zheng Huaming's maternal grandfather, Duke Su, followed the late emperor in building the country when he was young.

Duke Su and the current emperor are close friends. When the late emperor wanted to raise an army, he followed the late emperor and the current emperor without hesitation.

After the late emperor ascended the throne, Duke Su was appointed as the general to guard Yanmen Pass. He was only in his twenties at the time and was the youngest general. Many people opposed him, saying that he was too young to take on such an important task.

The late emperor asked those who were not convinced to challenge the then general Su Laoguogong. Su Laoguogong was not afraid either. No matter if you want to come with words or force, just come! You can choose whatever you want.

Just kidding, although Duke Su is a military general, he comes from a noble family and has been well-read since childhood. Because he loves martial arts, his father keeps an eye on him every day to complete his homework before he can practice martial arts. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by the late emperor and arranged to run around the current emperor.

Later, the current emperor succeeded to the throne and made General Su the Duke of the State and transferred him back to the capital to serve as Jingzhao Yin. That's why Mr. Zheng's mother said that her granddaughter-in-law was born into a military family, completely forgetting that her brothers were all literati.

Oh, not all of them are literati. There is an exception like Duke Su. My second uncle also joined the army like my grandfather, and now he is also a general guarding Yanmen Pass.

It is conceivable how much trust the current emperor has in Duke Su. Duke Su is in charge of Kyoto, and his second son is guarding the border.

Of his two sons in the court, the eldest son is in the Hanlin Academy, the third son is working outside the court, one is a teacher in a private school, and one is responsible for the family's livelihood.

However, Duke Su has already resigned from the throne, and is waiting for the throne to release him. First, he traveled a lot when he was young, leaving behind many old illnesses, and second, he is making way for the younger generation. If he is in power, the younger generation of his family will not be able to move up, this is a law.

Many of the soldiers guarding the border now are former subordinates of Duke Su, so the emergence of these two high-yield grain varieties has solved the basic food and fodder problem for the border soldiers.

Thinking of his grandfather, Zheng Huaming thought of the vermicelli again, but now was not the time. He would wait until Xiaocao had examined his grandfather's condition.

At this time, Uncle Quan asked the doctor to come over.

I need to take Mr. Zheng's pulse to see how his condition is.

The doctor felt Mr. Zheng's pulse, checked his throat, and asked him how he felt. It was already half an hour after the examination. "Well, he is recovering very well. The swelling in his throat has begun to subside. Continue to take the prescription from yesterday. It is effective. There is no need to change the prescription."

Although Zheng Huaming complained in his heart that the doctor was taking credit for his work, he still said, "Okay, thank you, doctor. I'll trouble you to stay in the mansion for two more days. I'll send you back when grandpa is fully recovered."

"Okay, okay." The doctor was not polite.

The doctor gave a few more instructions and left.

As soon as he left, the grass came on the scene.

"Grandpa Quan, please light a lamp for me so I can check on the condition of Grandpa Zheng's throat." Xiao Cao'er said to Uncle Quan who was standing next to her.

"Hey, I've got it." Uncle Quan already knew what Xiaocaoer would need and had prepared it in advance.

She checked the throat and asked some questions. She did exactly the same thing as the doctor did, but asked more detailed questions.

"Well, Grandpa Zheng's throat is much better than yesterday. Continue taking the medicine today and for two more days, and then we'll see how it goes." Xiao Caoer gave the results of today's consultation.

"Okay, listen to our Xiaocao." Mr. Zheng praised Xiaocao, "Our Xiaocao can also diagnose patients, like a little doctor. This time, thanks to you, otherwise I, an old man, would have suffered."

Xiao Caoer said modestly: "I didn't do anything. The doctor examined me and I just took medicine according to his diagnosis."

"This is also the credit of our Xiaocaoer." Mr. Zheng added.

Damao bowed to Mr. Zheng and said, "I don't deserve such praise, Mr. Zheng. Xiaocao is still very young."

"It was just a coincidence this time. My sister doesn't know any medical knowledge. It's only because sir, brother Xingyun and brother Huaming trust us that we got the medicine. Otherwise, we would never dare to take out the medicine, and our family wouldn't know about the medicine." Damao quickly brought up the matter of the medicine.
