Chapter 364: The Mother of the Bomen Raises Her Stepson 31
Sirong stroked her chin and went over in her mind the infatuated seeds surrounding the heroine.
I have finally rescued that silly boy from my family, but as for the remaining ones... I wonder if I should take care of them as well.
It’s not that she is so kind, the key is that she knows these children.
The young master of the Imperial Merchants family was a greedy little fat boy. Sirong and his mother became close friends due to their business dealings.
The child loved to run to her house since he was little, and called her "Auntie Si" affectionately.
Every time she came, she brought some new and interesting things, either spices from Southeast Asia or gems from the Western Regions, and presented them to her like treasures: "Aunt Si, look at this, my mother said you would like it!"
Si Rong and Madam Xie, one controls the trade routes in the north and the other controls the grain transport in the south. The business they have done together over the years has made many of their peers jealous.
Mrs. Xie is smart and decisive, and is as ruthless as men in killing people. However, she gave birth to a lovesick boy who is about to fall under the skirt of the heroine.
Why did he choose to go to sea in the end?
Didn’t he donate all his wealth to the national treasury? ! !
There was also the young general, who was a classmate of Shen Junyao. They had been fighting together since they were young, reciting lessons together, being punished together, practicing martial arts together, and playing mischief together.
Thinking of that brat from the Pei family, she couldn't help but chuckle.
This kid has been an enemy of our stubborn son Shen Junyao since childhood.
The old scholars in the academy back then would feel heartbroken when they mentioned this pair of funny guys. They would compete with each other when reciting, squat together when being punished, turn the training ground upside down when practicing martial arts, and even run into the same patrol instructor when climbing over the wall to skip classes.
"The boy from the Pei family..." The image of the young man who always raised his eyebrows appeared in front of Sirong.
Like the Shen family, the Pei family earned their fame and fortune on horseback.
When General Pei led his personal troops to defend Yanmen Pass, Pei Jinglan was still in his mother's womb. Later, when the child went to the battlefield for the first time, his armor was no wider than his shoulders, yet he led his light cavalry to the rear of the enemy and set fire to the forage camp.
There's no such thing as a born star general. It's just that he's spending the time others would spend drinking and playing games on sand table simulations.
Sirong suddenly remembered that at the palace banquet last year, when this boy came to toast with a wine glass, the thin cloth used to bandage the wound was exposed on his sleeve.
"Aunt, please forgive me for laughing." The young general calmly pulled down his sleeve arrow. "The other day, while chasing after the remnants of the Northern Di, I was scratched by a wolf cub."
She even joked at the time: "The fame of the Pei family's sons is indeed written in blood."
There is also the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley. Sirong doesn't have much contact with him.
Sirong is familiar with the current master of the Divine Doctor Valley. There was a plague around the capital city that year, and the Divine Doctor Valley entered the world to save people. It was their mission.
The master of the Divine Doctor Valley, who was already a little old man at the time, ignored everyone's opposition and entered the village in the epidemic area that was blocked and ready to be set on fire.
There I met Sirong, who was also trying to save others.
The two worked together to develop a cure and saved a large number of villagers who were waiting to be burned to death.
Later, the old man kept pestering Sirong, wanting to be her disciple. In the end, Sirong had to use many medical books to send him away.
At that time, Sirong seemed to have met the young valley master once, who was also a little brat.
How was he able to finally lead the entire Divine Doctor Valley into seclusion?
The rainy night twenty years ago suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
The epidemic was rampant, and the government had ordered the village to be burned. When she and her servants forced their way through the blockade, they happened to encounter a white-haired old man squatting at the village entrance, grinding medicine, a half-yellowed copy of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" peeking out from under his straw raincoat.
"Girl, make way." The old man said without raising his head, "You are blocking my view of the moon."
For the next few days and nights, she worked tirelessly to diagnose the disease while the old man gave acupuncture, and they managed to save half of the village from the clutches of the devil.
After the deed was done, the old naughty boy actually held onto her skirt and refused to let go: "My friend, your Qi-reading technique is clearly a true inheritance from my Shennong lineage!"
"Please accept me as your master, and I will teach you everything I know."
"I don't agree! Why don't you agree?!"
"Then I will take you as my teacher. Knowledge knows no age. I will hear the truth from the morning...blah blah!!!"
In order to get rid of this sticky person, she stole all the "Huangdi Waijing" treasured in the palace and gave them to the old man.
She also had medical books from different worlds stored in the space, including internal medicine, surgery, and even two books on anatomy.
"I have seen that child once..." She vaguely remembered a little boy who always hid behind the medicine cabinet and peeked around, with a pair of clear eyes like glass.
Who could have thought that the little fellow who used to sit on a bench while getting medicine would eventually convince the entire Divine Doctor Valley to close the mountain and avoid the world?
You should know that there is a compulsory course for the disciples in the Valley of Divine Doctors. All disciples in the valley must practice medicine for three years when they reach the age of twenty, without taking a penny, and specialize in treating the poor.
Back then, the old man sat cross-legged on the medicine drying platform, shaking his wine gourd and saying to her, "My friend, the most potent poison in the world is never in the medicine basket."
The old man drunkenly pointed to his heart and said, "It's right here. If we don't let these bastards experience the suffering of the world, how can we cultivate the heart to help the world?"
Sirong looked at the deepening dusk outside the window.
When the disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley entered the world, they only had three things tied around their waists: half a bag of rice, a volume of "The Great Physician's Sincerity", and a jade plaque engraved with the words "It is better to let down the King of Hell than to let down the people".
But it won't be long before the Young Valley Master takes them all into seclusion in the entire valley...
"For the sake of that little old man, I can't just ignore him." Si Rong thought for a moment, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if I can save one."
Anyway, in the original plot, after the third prince became the emperor, he and the heroine were all sweet and happy.
Sometimes he was angry, sometimes jealous, and sometimes he was in a cold war.
As an emperor, he did not achieve many of the achievements he should have, but instead, taxes increased year by year.
"After the Third Prince ascended the throne, taxes were increased by 50%." She whispered, as if mumbling to someone. "During the floods in Jiangnan, the money allocated by the court for disaster relief ended up being used as fireworks for the heroine's birthday banquet. Thirty thousand taels of silver burned all night long."
Sirong was alone in the room, muttering to herself for a long time.
It’s not that she is in such a difficult situation, but the main problem is that none of the existing princes is worry-free.
Emperor Kangxi implemented the policy of raising poisonous insects to make his son tremble.
After all, every one of their sons is very outstanding.
Whoever comes out in the end can stand on his own and become a good emperor.
But what can I say about the princes of this dynasty? They all had their own characteristics, and their evil deeds were all very strange.
The second prince is greedy for money and likes extravagance.
The third prince is passionate and lovesick.
The fifth prince is even more troublesome. He wants to cultivate immortality and takes elixirs every day.
The prince is the fourth son, born of a legitimate wife. He has a violent temper and loves to kill.
