Dominate the ancient academy

At noon, a magnificent carriage slowly entered the city from the East Gate of Kyoto and drove towards the Shogun's Palace.

The carriage was not moving fast. There was a mark of the General's Mansion on it. Occasionally, a girl's cough could be heard from inside, and it seemed that the owner inside was not feeling well.

The one riding in the front to escort was actually the third young master of the general's mansion. This was very strange. Who would have such a great honor to let the young master of the general's mansion lead the way?

Some people with ulterior motives were talking about it.

"Who is in here? Is it the Third Young Master who is escorting us?"

"It seems so. The young lady from the General's Mansion is coming back today!"

"It's the one who went to the countryside when I was a kid."

"Yes, I heard that he was physically weak."

"From the sound of coughing, could it be that he hasn't recovered yet?"

"You are so weak, how many years do you need to stay in the countryside to recover?"

"I don't know. What disease can't be cured in Kyoto? Why does he have to recuperate in the countryside? There is nothing in Da Ning that Kyoto has, so why did he go to the countryside? Could it be that he is not favored?" someone speculated.

"There is only this one young lady in the general's mansion, and she has no wife. How could she not be favored? And if she was not favored, the third young master would have to come and pick her up in person." Others retorted.

"It makes sense."

......

The people on the street were discussing in low voices, and Shu Xiaoxiao could not hear them. After all, it was nothing for them to discuss in low voices, but they did not dare to talk loudly because the people from the General's Mansion were still there, and no one would be so stubborn.

Although Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't hear any sound, she kept coughing diligently in the carriage, confirming the rumors that she was weak.

Shu Xiaoxiao had walked this road in Kyoto several times. She was not curious about anything and did not even look outside. There was a mark of the General's Mansion on the carriage, and no one dared to stop the carriage. She arrived at the General's Mansion smoothly.

There were no onlookers around, so Shu Xiaoxiao didn't have the chance to perform the sickly scene she had prepared.

But when you think about it, Kyoto is not some other remote place. Horse-drawn carriages are very common. Who would stare at a carriage for no reason?

In ancient times, classes were clearly defined, and a general's mansion must be in a wealthy area. High-ranking officials of the court lived here, and no common people would hang around here. If you accidentally bumped into a noble person here, you would probably lose more than nine lives.

So none of Shu Xiaoxiao's preparations, such as coughing, vomiting blood, and fainting in front of everyone, were used.

Shu Xiaoxiao took the carriage straight into the mansion without even stopping at the entrance of the general's mansion.

Shu Xiaoxiao: It was quite unexpected. I didn’t get off at the main gate, and no one came to watch! There was no one on TV!

The eldest brother in the mansion has gone to court. The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple has to report to court every day in ancient times. My mother and two sisters-in-law are already waiting in the hall.

Although the servants in the mansion were puzzled as to why their young lady had to wear a veil when she came to the mansion, no one was foolish enough to ask.

Ye Xue Ning looked at her daughter whom she had just met yesterday. She was unable to express her excitement at the sudden reunion with her daughter. In the end, she just twitched her lips and said enthusiastically, "I'm glad you're back!"

Shu Xiaoxiao coughed and bowed: "Xiaoxiao greets mother and two sisters-in-law."

He looked at the maids in the hall again and it seemed that he could still perform a role.

Blinking at the three of them, Shu Xiaoxiao immediately said weakly: "Mother, two sisters-in-law, Xiaoxiao...Xiaoxiao feels a little uncomfortable."

As he spoke, he supported his forehead with his hand and shook a few times, as if he was about to faint.

Zhao Yiyi was a little confused just now. It was ok that her sister-in-law wore a veil outside, but why did she still wear a veil when entering the house? And it was obviously the first time she met her sister-in-law, but why did she always feel very familiar?

Before she could come to her senses, she saw her sister-in-law staggering and looking like she was about to faint. She was immediately shocked. Didn't her sister-in-law recover in the countryside? Why was she still so weak?

Zhao Yiyi quickly supported her sister-in-law who was about to fall, and said in panic: "Mom, sister-in-law, this... call a doctor quickly!"

Ye Xue Ning, Zhou Wenxiu, and Shu Tingfei looked at each other. Shu Tingfei stepped forward, picked up Shu Xiaoxiao and carried her back to the room. Ye Xue Ning quickly shouted, "Call the doctor quickly." After shouting, she quickly followed.

Shu Tingfei put Shu Xiaoxiao on the bed and said to the maid in the room, "You guys go out too, and see where the doctor is."

Seeing that all the maids in the room had left, Shu Xiaoxiao half sat up and said, "Mother, why don't we call the imperial physician?"

The imperial physician confirmed it after one examination, so the results should be roughly the same if you find another doctor in the future. The imperial physician's words are more authoritative. When she just came back, she confirmed the rumors about her weak body, which made it more credible.

This was her first impression on Kyoto. From now on, when anyone mentioned her, the first impression would definitely be that she was weak and in poor health.

Zhao Yiyi: Why does my sister-in-law's voice sound so familiar? And wasn't my sister-in-law about to faint? How could she still sit up?

Ye Xue Ning frowned and said, "Can you fool me? The imperial physician's medical skills are much better than those of ordinary doctors."

Shu Xiaoxiao took out a black pill from the secret pocket of her sleeve: "My grandfather prepared this for me. After taking this pill, even the head of the Imperial Hospital will not be able to find any problems."

As she said this, she lifted her veil and took the pill. Shu Xiaoxiao's face was pale and her lips were pale under the veil. No one believed her when she said she was in good health.

Zhao Yiyi looked at Shu Xiaoxiao and sighed: "My little sister looks like Xiaoxiao. They look more like twins!"

The others couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Zhou Wenxiu explained: "Sister-in-law, look carefully, these two are my younger sisters."

Ye Xue Ning also explained: "I will tell you about this situation later. Xiaoxiao, take off your veil. You don't need to wear it in the mansion. Just be careful."

Xiaoxiao and Ye Xiao are cousins ​​on the surface. It's okay for them to look similar. There shouldn't be many people who would be bored enough to stare at them to see how similar they are. No one will suspect anything if they are open about it. The more they try to cover up, the more likely they are to attract attention.

Besides, now that the rumor about Xiaoxiao's weak health has spread, she should try to go out less in the future. With her and her two daughters-in-law protecting her, there won't be any loopholes.

As for the news of my daughter's frailty, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future. There is no need to worry about saving her. She is just frail and there is no way a miracle doctor will appear in the future to cure her.

The general's mansion had no intention of using their daughter to gain enormous wealth. Her husband's subordinates and her son's colleagues were there, so they could find a young talent. Anyway, the daughter of the general's mansion would never have trouble finding a husband.

Zhao Yiyi had also come back to her senses. She was the daughter of a general. She was thick-skinned and had thick nerves. Although she still didn't understand what was going on and how her cousin and sister-in-law became the same person, her mother-in-law said she would explain it later, so she just had to wait patiently.

When she was leaving, her parents said that she was not smart and should listen to her mother-in-law more. After getting married, she listened to her parents and her life became more and more comfortable. So when her mother-in-law asked her to come later, she would wait. In fact, she was quite curious about what was going on and waited for her mother-in-law to explain.

After Shu Xiaoxiao took the medicine, she began to feel weak all over, especially as if she had worked all day and had not eaten. She lay in bed and could not get up. It was also a bit like after a high fever. Her whole body felt a little weak. Anyway, she was so tired that she didn't even want to open her eyes.

Grandpa is indeed worthy of his reputation as a miracle doctor. This pill did not change her pulse, but her body. She is really weak now. I believe that even without the sickly makeup on her face, there would be no flaws.

Ye Xue Ning sat by the bed, looking worried about her daughter. She looked at her son standing beside her and said, "Ting Fei, your sister is weak. Go see the doctor."

Shu Ting finally came back to his senses and immediately ran out anxiously, shouting, "Where is the imperial physician? Where is the imperial physician? Is he here?"

"Young Master, the imperial physician has already been consulted. Why don't you let Doctor Li take a look first?" Although Doctor Li is not as good as the imperial physician, he is also a famous doctor in Kyoto.

To invite the imperial physician, you have to go to the palace and register, which doesn’t happen quickly. You can ask Doctor Li to take a look first.
