In the past two years, Sanbao has often been with Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao carefully taught him medical skills. The relationship between mother and son is very good. Now Sanbao is very reluctant to leave his mother, but he knows that the man has ambitions everywhere. go about your own business.

"Don't be so frequent. Ningzhou is a bit far away from the capital city. A letter arrives every ten days. The first letter has not arrived, and the second letter is on the way. Besides, you have just arrived, so you must be very busy, but no matter how busy you are, every other letter You have to write a letter to your mother every month, telling her about the situation there, and let the people from Nanbei Qihuo store bring the letter over."

There are caravans in the North and South Qihuo Stores, and every few days they transfer the goods from the several stores opened in Dazhou, so they often walk around, and it is faster to hand over the letter to them.

"Mom, I see."

Lu Jiao nodded, looked at Sanbao, looked at his handsome and gentle eyebrows, he was really a handsome young man.

He is fifteen years old this year, so it should be reasonable to make a marriage.

But every time Lu Jiao asked him, he didn't want to make an appointment early.

"There is also your marriage. Mother has always wanted to make an appointment for you. You always say that there is no hurry. When you arrive in Ningzhou, if you like a girl you like, you can write to tell mother. But I have to tell you first. Let me just say that when our family marries a daughter-in-law, although we don't pay attention to the right family, we must pay attention to the daughter of a high-ranking official, but we still have to pay attention to the degree of family background. Daughters from a good family have been carefully taught in all aspects of conduct. An uneducated girl, mother does not agree with you to marry."

When Lu Jiao mentioned this, her face was full of worry, for fear that her son would randomly pick up a girl in Ningzhou.

Although she didn't look down on children from poor families, the children from poor families were uneducated and deficient in all aspects. Of course, there were some good ones, but there were too few of them.

So Lu Jiao was worried that Sanbao would be seduced by some demonic girl and marry a rascal daughter-in-law, which would be troublesome.

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, Sanbao couldn't help laughing.

"Mother, my son is still young, and I don't want to get married so early. I just want to build the Ningzhou Medical Department, and I don't consider marriage. If I marry a wife in the future, I will bring it to my mother as soon as possible. If my mother thinks No, I won't marry."

These years, Sanbao has also seen clearly that Mother not only knows how to teach children, but also picks out wives, her eyes are vicious.

Not to mention a few of them, it is Lingxue sister who is favored by her eldest brother. Under the instruction and guidance of her mother in the past two years, she is now becoming more and more generous, and she behaves elegantly and generously. The most important thing is that through her own efforts, she In the Chongde Women's College, she was frequently praised by the dean, and she often took the top three places in the assessment. She even wrote books. sought after.

Women in Dazhou don't know Hu Lingxue, but many women know Nanshanzi and her story, which is very inspiring.

In the carriage, Lu Jiao listened to Sanbao's words, smiled and patted her son's head: "Mother is not against the girl you like, but just wants to help you see her character. No matter what, our family can't marry that kind of troublesome girl." House spirits, people who are too shrewd, who can't bear a little loss, and those who have many brothers and sisters, marry a daughter-in-law, at least be generous, even if they suffer a small loss, they don't care about it, otherwise the family will break up."

After listening to Lu Jiao's words, Sanbao nodded again and again. Their brothers are respectful, and their sister is also kind and lovely. He doesn't want to marry a troublemaker to come in and ruin their family.

"My son knows."

"Well, my mother will pack your things for Ningzhou for you."

In fact, they packed a bunch of things in the past two days, but Lu Jiao has prepared a lot of things for her son in the past two days, including money and so on.

Hearing Lu Jiao's words, Sanbao immediately turned bitter: "Mother, you still need to clean up, isn't it all cleaned up?"

"It's some gifts for you, Grandpa Hu and Ningzhou government officials. This time you go to Ningzhou to build a local medical office. Although there are orders from your mother and orders from His Majesty, if the local people in Ningzhou don't cooperate Fortunately, your Grandpa Hu is the magistrate of Ningzhou, so if you go to build the medical office, the trouble will not be too big, but we still have to talk about the etiquette."

The Three Treasures didn't object. Over the years, my mother taught them how to deal with their brothers and sisters. Their emotional intelligence is not low, and they still understand the communication of people coming and going.

"Row."

The mother and son went home to pack their things, and in the end they packed up three big carts. Fortunately, Lu Jiao asked the people from the North and South Qihuo Store to separate out a cargo ship for loading, or else they would have to hire a special boat.

At night, thinking that Sanbao was about to leave, Lu Jiao couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned.

Master Xie understood her reluctance, put his arms around her body and said: "When the children grow up, they will fly away from their parents like eagles with wings, but I will always be by your side."

Lu Jiao thought about it for a while, and she turned around and put her arms around Master Xie's waist: "From now on, when the children grow up, we two will live together."

Xie Yunjin smiled: "What two old people, we are young."

Yes, because Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao often drink Lingquan water, although they are older, their appearance is definitely ten years younger than their peers.

Lu Jiao was also amused by him.

Xie Yunjin quickly coaxed her to sleep, but the husband and wife just fell asleep when someone knocked on the door of Xie's house, eagerly and fiercely, the husband and wife woke up with a start, and they all sat up and looked outside.

Soon there were footsteps outside, and Housekeeper Xiao personally led people across the backyard to report: "My lord, it's not good, Mrs. Xuan came to the palace immediately, it seems that His Majesty is about to die."

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao's expressions turned ugly, they turned over quickly, got up and ran out, not even caring about tidying up their clothes.

As soon as the two saw Steward Xiao, they anxiously asked, "Who sent the letter out of the palace?"

"Mo Bei, the bodyguard of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Since Mo Bei's confession to Lu Jiao was rejected, he hasn't appeared in front of Lu Jiao. He didn't expect him to come tonight.

The husband and wife didn't care about anything else, they rushed straight to the gate of the mansion.

As soon as Mo Bei saw them, he said anxiously: "Mrs. Xie, hurry up and follow me into the palace. His majesty is not in a good condition."

Lu Jiao quickly said, "I checked Your Majesty's body a few days ago. Although His Majesty is not in good health, he is not in serious condition. Why is it suddenly failing now?"

Mo Bei waited until Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin got on their horses, and said anxiously: "Your Highness suspected that the Queen Mother of Jin gave His Majesty some medicine, but the imperial doctor couldn't find out, and said that His Majesty had a sudden heart attack, so he fell into a coma. The king of Jin took out the edict written by His Majesty himself, saying that His Majesty passed on the throne to King Jin. Originally, they wanted to prevent His Majesty from seeing His Majesty, but His Highness led people into His Majesty's bedroom and found that His Majesty was unconscious. Wake up, the situation is very critical, so His Highness immediately ordered me to take you to the palace."
