Chapter 298: Can there be a marriage?
Zhou Heng smiled, "It's really rare to have such a large piece of Sichuan white jade. It can also avoid all flaws. Carved into such a large jade ornament, which shows that the second prince has been dedicated."
Who is the Empress Dowager? Although Zhou Heng said this, he knew that there must be something hidden. After bowing a little, Liu Xiu'er quickly placed a pillow behind the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager looked around and waved to everyone.
"Xiu'er will pour a cup of tea for Ai's family and ask your second brother to go down, too. I'll chat with Zhou Yuanshou for a few words."
Then everyone in the room evacuated, but Madam Cui stood inside the door.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand at Zhou Heng.
"Come here and talk, don't just say whatever you think. The Ai family is mostly buried in the loess. I have never seen any dirty tricks. Just say whatever you think of."
Zhou Heng knelt down and said solemnly:
"There is nothing to be seen in this jade ornament. Such a precious object, the second prince naturally would not do anything if he wanted to show his filial piety. However, this thing was transported from Sichuan to the capital and passed through layers of checkpoints, so I was afraid that there were too many people who were interested."
As he said that, Zhou Heng spread the piece of cotton in his hand, a yellow touch was very conspicuous.
"The Empress Dowager is a person who worships Buddha. She must love her when she sees her, but she can't let go of her. However, the drug was applied to Guanyin's fingers. After touching, itchy and discomfort were caused, which caused this disease."
When the empress dowager heard this, she was extremely calm and just looked at Zhou Heng.
"Oh? But poison?"
Zhou Heng shook his head, "It's not poison, it's realgar."
The Queen Mother nodded and smiled faintly.
"As you said, this realgar is not a poison. If you continue to check, there will be no result. Forget it."
Zhou Heng stood up and Madam Cui had already walked over again, seeing Zhou Heng saluting the Queen Mother with some concern.
"It's all the servants who do things in a bad way. I'd better put this jade ornament in the warehouse as soon as possible."
Zhou Heng thought for a while and quickly said, "It is necessary to scrub it. I will ask Xiu'er to give Madam Cui some medicine and rinse it with water. As for the placement, the jade is too cold, so don't place it in the woman's room."
Madam Cui nodded and said yes, and the Queen Mother patted the bed.
"Yuan Zhou dictates you to get closer."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng quickly knelt beside the couch.
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhou Heng and glanced at Madam Cui again.
"Looking at you, you seem to be a little older than Mo'er, has your grandfather ever explained whether you have chosen a marriage partner?"
When Zhou Heng heard this, his heart trembled slightly. What does this mean? Should he find a princess to marry him?
It seems unlikely that a court judge is just a high-ranking official?
Zhou Heng hurriedly held his fists, "I have soul-leaving disease, which is difficult to cure. I have no memory of my grandfather and family, so I don't know if I have engaged me to marry me."
The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed and glanced at Madam Cui.
"It's really hard to do this. The Ai family originally wanted to marry you and Xiu'er, but if your grandfather got you engaged, it would be really hard to deal with."
Zhou Hengyi was even more stunned when he heard this. He wanted to point him and Xiu'er in marriage?
Xiu'er is his girl. What do you think about this marriage? Could it be that she wants to give Xiu'er an identity?
Madam Cui approached and saw Zhou Heng was a little dazed, and asked quickly:
"The Queen Mother just wanted to ask, do you have any intention to Miss Xiu'er? If you have any intention, what can you do if you have a marriage? Now you have no parents and grandfather, and you don't know where your ancestral home is. Even if you have a marriage and the other party can't find someone, wouldn't you have searched for someone else long ago?"
Hearing this, Zhou Heng quickly stepped back and fell to the ground with a look of panic.
"The Empress Dowager is clear about it. I should be a sister of Xiu'er. Whether she teaches medical skills or is in danger, I will do everything for her without any scruples. That is my closest relative."
Zhou Heng raised his face and stared at the empress dowager, with a clear and sincere look on his face. What he said at this moment was his true feelings.
He had a different feeling about Xiu'er. He didn't know if it was love or closeness, so he couldn't bear to see her being hurt at all.
But if he really married Xiu'er, Zhou Heng really never thought that this was not the world he lived in. He didn't know how long he would stay here, how long he lived, and whether he would leave instantly.
In the modern world, there is his mother and grandfather whom he cares about, which is not something that can be let go. With such longing, how can you get married and have children in Daliang? Zhou Heng can't let go, and he really doesn't want to let go.
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhou Heng's eyes, was silent for a moment, and sighed.
"Do you have someone you like?"
Zhou Heng shook his head, "Zhou Heng doesn't want to get married. There are many things to be busy with now. The first batch of imperial doctors have finished teaching, and a few of them want to follow me to develop new drugs.
I want to hurry up and let the next group of people go over quickly, and take advantage of the Chinese New Year to teach medical skills well, and then have other plans in Beishan."
The Queen Mother nodded. It seemed that Zhou Heng really didn't have the intention.
"Okay, it seems that you really don't have this intention, so wait and don't refuse the Ai family. Whenever you want to get married, no matter who you want, you can tell the Ai family that the Ai family will make the decision for you. You said there are other plans, what is this?"
Zhou Heng blinked and got closer.
"Does the Queen Mother like to listen to operas?"
Madam Cui covered her mouth and laughed first, "The Empress Dowager likes to watch opera the most. There is a theater in the East Courtyard of Cining Palace."
Zhou Heng had a mysterious smile on his face and leaned closer and said:
"Then the Queen Mother will take care of her body. When the Beishan Mountains are all built, you can take you to relax. I promise that it is definitely more addictive than listening to a play!"
When the empress dowager heard this, she was also amused. Zhou Heng had this ability and instantly pulled her out of the feeling of not being able to match her, which made her feel itchy when she heard it.
"How come you, a child, are you talking so hidingly? Telling to the Ai family, what is it that is more interesting than listening to operas?"
Before Zhou Heng could explain, a sound came from the door.
"Madam Cui, Prince Ning, asked to see the Queen Mother!"
Madam Cui looked at the Queen Mother, who then nodded, and the smile on her face became even more intense.
"Let him in. The child came to the palace in the middle of the night to deliver medicine. After going back to sleep, why did he come here after a while? This old bone in the Ai family is fine and cannot die."
Madam Cui comforted her and hurriedly invited Prince Ning to come in.
After a moment, Zhu Yunmo strode in and rushed into the door. When he saw Zhou Heng, he stopped and took off his cloak on his body and threw it to the palace maid.
He ran to the charcoal cage and roasted it, and then came to the Queen Mother to greet him.
The queen mother waved her hand at him with a smile, "Get up quickly, why is it still so complicated today, but is it cold?"
Zhu Yunmo shook his head, "Sun Chen is not cold, he just thought of Zhou Heng's instructions and dissipated the cold on his body so that he could get closer to the emperor's grandmother. After all, you have just seen the improvement, so don't suffer from the cold again."
The empress dowager was very pleased and grabbed Zhu Yunmo's hand and patted it.
"The Ai family is already big. Isn't it true that Zhou Heng is talking about your Beishan? It seems that there is a secret?"
Zhu Yunmo looked at Zhou Heng, and with a look in an instant, he understood Zhou Heng's intention. He wanted to set up a theater under the banner of the empress dowager.
He leaned closer, his face full of excitement.
"Let Zhou Heng say it. Sun Chen doesn't have his eloquence. I saw the picture. It's too interesting and I don't know where to start for a while."
Suddenly, the eyes of several people fell on Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng blinked and took out a picture from his arms. This was a reduced-edge planning map. After a bird's eye view of the entire Beishan Mountain, all the construction was clear at a glance.
The queen mother's eyes were instantly attracted, so she quickly asked Madam Cui to bring the glasses and put them on and look carefully at the drawings.
"What is this, how come it looks so good?"
Zhou Heng saw the Empress Dowager pointing to the fishing place and said:
"This is a pool, with streams gathering above, and there is a small waterfall. Although the pool below is not big, it is also a underground river. There are extremely rich fish in it. We can fish a hundred kilograms at one time after we go down the net. Moreover, the meat of the fish is extremely delicious, and it is extremely delicious whether it is steamed or braised and stewed."
The Empress Dowager smashed her mouth and she was seriously ill these two days and had eaten lightly. When she said that the fish was a little tempted to eat, Zhou Heng immediately stopped her when he saw it.
"When the Empress Dowager's condition improves, the prince will send some fresh fish to let the Empress Dowager taste the fresh."
