MTL - The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife-Chapter 406 Eating too much soft rice is useless
Chapter 406
"Junjun, let's stretch the time line a little longer. If you can still say that you don't want to marry a daughter-in-law at the age of 20, then I believe that you really won't let your brother marry you. "Zhao Chuchu suppressed a smile.
"Why don't you study hard first? If you still think this way in ten years, then your brother will definitely not care about you anymore."
Xie Jun pouted: "Sister-in-law, I won't say anything."
The third prince saw them getting along so well, and secretly rejoiced that his younger brother was adopted by such a family.
And he sent someone to inquire about it today. No one in Yuanjiang County knew that Xie Heng and Xie Jun were not brothers, including people from Lengshui Village.
The third prince is also grateful to the Xie family for protecting his younger brother.
The third prince felt that Xie Heng must have guessed something, and these words should be said to him on purpose today.
After eating, Xie Heng invited the third prince to the study.
He cut to the chase: "Does your Highness know Junjun's identity?"
Although he had guessed it, the third prince was still a little surprised. He was very curious: "Why did Zi Zhao ask this?"
"This is not the first time I have dealt with His Highness. His Highness has a very different attitude towards Junjun. I must know Junjun's life experience."
"Zizhao thinks too much, no one will dislike a well-behaved and obedient child like Junjun."
"He's not my brother, and I've thought about helping Junjun find his family over the years. It's just that I couldn't see it before, so it was delayed. Junjun didn't know his background, he always thought we were brothers. ."
"Then are you going to tell Junjun?"
"No, I won't let him know until I'm sure who Junjun's biological parents are. If they are the murderous Jiang Yang robbers, they will hurt Junjun too much. If they are just lost by ordinary people, they will certainly be Because they are trying so hard to find Junjun, no matter what, Junjun should recognize them."
"What if neither?"
"Only his parents are vicious and I won't tell him. I'll let him choose for other possibilities. I'm just his elder brother, and I can't help him choose everything selfishly."
"Zizhao, can you tell me the circumstances under which your parents adopted Junjun?"
"I don't know about this. I know that Junjun is not my brother or that they told me before he died. If I can help Junjun find his biological parents."
"Why is Zizhao so sure that I know Junjun's background?"
Xie Heng took out a simple and lustrous jade pendant from his arms: "This is what Junjun wore when my parents adopted him. After my eyes were healed, I secretly inquired about this jade pendant, and they all said it was the palace. So, Your Highness should know about it, right?"
The third prince finally changed his face.
The gaze he stared at Xie Heng was no longer gentle, but with the sternness of the superior: "Xie Heng, do you know what the crime of stealing the palace is?"
"Your Highness doesn't need to scare me. Your Highness should know better than me what the origin of this jade pendant is. Although I am a little clever, I am not strong enough to steal from the palace." Xie Heng was not shocked by the third prince, his expression was as usual, "If I guess correctly, Junjun's background should be related to the royal family, right?"
"Xie Heng, what you said today was specifically for me to listen to?"
"Yes, I don't want His Highness to suspect that I have any purpose. Junjun is my only relative and will always be my younger brother. I will not let others hurt him, nor will I hurt him, nor will I use it."
"But you want to use me now."
"His Royal Highness is worrying too much. If Junjun's background is complicated, once I enter the capital, he will be exposed to the enemies who caused him to be separated from his parents. I just don't want to know everything at that time and passively wait. How do others calculate Junjun?"
"Isn't this exploit?"
"If Your Highness thinks it is, so be it."
Xie Heng looked at the third prince and did not give in.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally, the third prince narrowed his eyes and sighed softly: "Zizhao, you are really observant. You guessed it right, Junjun is indeed related to the royal family, and he is my relative. Brother, the ninth prince of the dynasty."
Having said that, the third prince stared at Xie Heng for a moment, as if he wanted to find emotional changes such as ecstasy from Xie Heng's face.
But the third prince saw nothing.
Xie Heng was calm as usual.
"Zizhao, you thanked the family for saving my brother, I owe you a favor, you can say whatever you want."
"Zhuang Yuan, can you give it to me?"
Three princes: "..."
"Your Highness can't give it?"
"Sorry, there is nothing I can do about the imperial examination."
"Junjun is also my younger brother. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about what I will do with Junjun's background. Even if Junjun succeeds in the future, the best I can do is to help him secure that position."
"Bold!"
"Your Highness neither believes that I have no ambition nor my ambition, so His Highness wants to kill me?"
The third prince looked at Xie Heng deeply, and said, "Do you know that if these words are spread, they will be killed?"
"Unless His Highness speaks out, no one will know the conversation between you and me." Xie Heng looked back at him and said sternly, "I hope it is true that Junjun is safe and happy, but if someone wants to kill him, I will never Sit back and watch, this is not what a brother should do."
The third prince was silent.
After a long time, he said a word: "Xie Heng, no one knows what will happen in the future, at least for this moment you are protecting Junjun and that's enough. Instead of doubting you, I might as well think about how to eradicate the evil in the capital. Junjun's threat. Next section, I hope to see you in the capital."
After that, the third prince patted Xie Heng: "You know what happened today, I know. I will choose a suitable time to tell him about Jun Jun's life experience. Before that, I hope you can keep this secret, Zi Zhao. By the way, Keep the jade pendant well, don't lose it."
Without waiting for Xie Heng to respond, the third prince lifted his foot and left the study.
Having said that, this is enough.
If Xie Heng dared to use Xie Jun, the third prince would not mind making Xie Heng blind again.
Right now, he can't take his younger brother away, it is safest to stay by Xie Heng's side.
At least no one would suspect a weak scholar.
The third prince did not go back immediately, but went to Xie Jun's study to watch Xie Jun do his homework.
A few days later, a couple came to Xie's house.
Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Who are you?"
The woman was blessed and introduced herself: "Miss, my name is Chang Hong, this is my man Chai Le, and we will be the servants of the Xie family from now on.
Zhao Chuchu took it over and saw that the deed of betrayal was actually a deed of death.
In other words, the couple will be slaves of the Xie family until they die.
"Three Young Masters asked you to come?"
"The two of us will only be members of the Xie family in the future, and will only be loyal to the Xie family."
Zhao Chuchu looked at the two carefully, and at first glance they were people who practiced martial arts.
Probably the third prince arranged to protect Xie Jun.
"What do you all know?"
"I'm good at female red, and my man can cook."
"Where's the weapon?"
Chang Hong was stunned for a moment.
Chai Le took the initiative: "I'm good at archery and hidden weapons, and my wife is good at using swords."
"Then you should stay first, you have to wait for my husband to come back before you can be the master. Don't leave you."
"Yes, lady."
Although these two were arranged by the third prince, Zhao Chuchu did not know their details, so naturally he would not place them easily.
The two of them didn't see the outside, they put down their things and started to work.
Lunch was cooked by Chai Le, although there was still a gap with Xie Heng, but for Zhao Chuchu in the dark cooking world, it was enough.
Xie Heng came back when it was almost dark.
As soon as he saw Chai Le and Chang Hong, he knew what was going on.
Without waiting for Zhao Chuchu to say anything, he let them stay.
After nightfall, Xie Heng explained to Zhao Chuchu: "It was these two people before, and they were absolutely loyal to Junjun."
"Your words are enough." Zhao Chuchu said, "I originally planned to buy two servants, but now I have saved the money."
"Is your Ruyu Pavilion ready to open? Where do you want me to help?"
"No, Ruyu Pavilion only deals with women, you can't help me."
"Will you only be women in the future?"
"That's not true. By the way, Dalang, I have nothing to do these days anyway, or I will go to the academy for free clinic, what do you think?"
"Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
"Maybe I can help you a little bit?"
"The academy is all men, if you don't mind..." Speaking of this, Xie Heng suddenly smiled, "Then I'll go back and talk to the mountain chief."
"I don't mind how?" Zhao Chuchu picked up what he had not finished and asked.
Xie Heng shook his head: "I'm used to saying it casually for a while, there is no other meaning."
The defense of men and women is just a decoration here in Zhao Chuchu, not to mention that she is a doctor.
"I thought you would say that I am a woman and should keep a distance from men, especially in a place like the academy."
"Chuchu, I said something wrong." Xie Heng begged for mercy, "Don't mind."
Zhao Chuchu laughed: "Then do you want to beg me?"
"Please don't mind." Xie Heng folded his hands together.
Zhao Chuchu was even more happy: "I am a lot of adults, I forgive you."
Xie Heng couldn't help but laugh.
…
The next day.
When Xie Heng arrived at the academy, he approached the mountain chief and said that Zhao Chuchu planned to come to Qingyang Academy for a free clinic.
Shan Chang was very surprised: "Your wife wants to come to the free clinic?"
"Well, she said that people who read books are always at their desks, and their shoulders and necks are prone to discomfort."
"But the academies are all men."
"It doesn't matter, she is a doctor, and there is no distinction between men and women in the eyes of doctors."
"Since that's the case, then thank her for me, and I'll tell the other masters in a while. By the way, when is it?"
"If the mountain chief agrees, it can be done tomorrow."
"it is good."
The mountain chief readily agreed.
Not to mention, he also has such a problem, sometimes it hurts like hell.
I have seen a lot of doctors, put a lot of plasters and took a lot of medicine, but the effect is very small.
He had heard of the name Zhao Chuchu's genius doctor, but because she was a woman, the mountain chief was too embarrassed to go to her to see a doctor.
Now Xie Heng took the initiative to say, that was the best.
It’s just that the mountain chief thinks it’s a good thing, but in the eyes of some students, it’s not.
After the news of came out, the few who kept seeing Xie Heng disliked took the opportunity to spread rumors there:
"Oh, it's just that he can't compare to our talented Xie Da, who has the means. He will be able to smack the horse to please the master of the mountain, and even bring his daughter-in-law out at the moment."
"I don't have a good appetite, what can I do if I can only eat soft rice? Look at other people, how many people can marry a daughter-in-law. Just study with peace of mind, and the money will be earned by the daughter-in-law."
"No, it's one thing to please Master Shanchang, I guess I'm still thinking about making a lot of money from us. Isn't it her decision to have a disease or not? When the time comes, this person is not good here and there is no good, prescription How much money does it cost to get the medicine?"
"I've seen this kind of trick a lot, and I advise everyone not to think that you can take advantage of it. Maybe then you might get a kick out of it."
…
Qingyang Academy was originally not that big, and the school buildings were also connected.
These people have been looking for faults everywhere since Xie Heng entered Qingyang Academy.
At this time, they were trying their best to smear Xie Heng, so that the classmates in the academy should not be fooled.
"Zizhao, why don't you tell me how many of them? Your wife is so kind, how can you be so unbearable when it comes to their mouths?"
"Zizhao, hurry up and stop them, I'm afraid some ugly words will come out later."
"Is it Zizhao's fault that it's not as good as Zizhao? Is it so difficult to admit that Zizhao is not as good? Every one's heart is smaller than a pinhole, even if he really joins the office in the future, I'm afraid that there will be no good life for the common people!"
Xie Heng said lightly: "Let them talk, why do you need to know these people in general."
"But they were talking about your wife."
"My wife won't care either."
As soon as these words came out, the people around him looked at each other, some didn't understand why Xie Heng didn't protect Zhao Chuchu so much.
Usually these people make trouble, but Xie Heng never let them go.
Probably Xie Heng ignored them, and those people became more and more arrogant.
They finally ran to Xie Heng.
"Isn't it because we said that the center is false, and that he is usually eloquent, how come he doesn't even dare to refute it now?"
"Xie Heng, ah Xie Heng, after eating too much soft rice, I have no confidence."
"Otherwise, it would be better for me to give you some money than if you always ask your daughter-in-law for it."
…
Xie Heng looked up at them, the lack of warmth in his eyes made them shrink subconsciously.
"She came to the free clinic. I don't need to explain it to you. You can go if you believe it. If you don't believe it, don't go. No one is forcing you. You can't learn the way of a sage by studying, and you don't have to lose your literati style. There are no two shrew."
Those few people were called shrew, and immediately jumped: "Okay, then tomorrow I will see how good your daughter-in-law's medical skills are! Do you dare to bet with me? If your daughter-in-law can see if we are sick, then we will lose. Otherwise, you will go around the academy and learn how to bark."
"Shame on Sven!" Xie Heng categorically refused.
"Hahaha, don't you dare to feel guilty?"
"You don't deceive people too much."
"Xie Heng, tomorrow I will let everyone in the city know what your husband and wife are!"
After , they left without waiting for Xie Heng to agree or not.
Xie Heng seemed to be "in a hurry" and had a lot of thoughts on his mind.
The better classmate comforted Xie Heng, he forced a smile and whispered: "It's okay, my wife said that the pulse can diagnose whether you are sick or not, unless they deliberately hold it back."
The words quickly reached the ears of those few people.
