imprinted you in my heart

The honored nobles who participated in the emperor's engagement banquet strictly abide by the etiquette in the palace. Even if they talk to the people around them, they will not make loud noises, let alone walk around casually. Happy, the face is filled with deep joy.

Not long after Lu Guanchu came back from Yongshou Palace, Empress Dowager Wen Yu was also drunk and was about to go back to rest. It was inconvenient for Shi Min to leave, but not long after she came back, she was very honored to be assigned a task by Shi Min.

Before Lu Guanchu came back, Shi Min pretended to be drunk, entrusted Prince Li to continue hosting the banquet, and left with Bu Qianxue.With her here, the ministers are more or less cautious, so she will leave early for general banquets.

"Can we talk now?" Bu Qianxue didn't ask her doubts until they returned to Changfu Palace and dismissed the crowd.

From the moment she knew that Shi Min was drinking water, she never stopped guessing, but no matter how she searched her memory, there was no news or rumors that Shi Min could not drink alcohol.

"Do you still remember Luwan Village on the outskirts of Fandu? It's the village we met by chance." Shi Min walked to Bu Qianxue and sat down. He didn't answer immediately, but looked at Bu Qianxue and asked cautiously.

"Of course I remember, and Ren's memory is still fresh, I will never forget it." The situation of Shi Min at that time gave way to Qianxue, and now she still has lingering fears when she thinks about it, how could she not remember.

"I have a disease that can never be cured. If you want to regret the marriage, there is still time." Shi Min covered his face with his hands after speaking, his voice was low and sad, as if he really had some incurable disease.

"Impossible, I don't believe it!" Bu Qianxue stood up in disbelief, and looked at Shi Min with a face full of surprise, hoping to get her affirmation, or to see the flaws on her face, but only saw the back of her hand. Desperate, he fell back to his chair, and after a while he found his own voice, "Repent of the marriage?...It's too late, if you go back, I will follow."

The joy before Bu Qianxue was gone, and only this thought was left in her heart. At this moment, she couldn't even care about her family, country, and world. Her mind was shrouded in fear and sadness, and she couldn't get rid of it.

"If you really do this, I will definitely die in peace." Shi Min finally put down his hand covering his face, the shock on his face was no less than that of Bu Qianxue, she just got excited suddenly, and wanted to make a little joke, but she didn't expect Bu Qianxue to react so strongly, There is also this kind of thinking.

Watching Qiong Yao dramas in her last life, she admired the kind of love that goes hand in hand with life and death. I just hope that the people I love can live well.

Bu Qianxue stared at Shi Min's face in disbelief, and found that the expression and tone on her face were as fake as the drunkenness when she helped her leave the table just now, and then realized that she had been tricked, and her face immediately collapsed, her head Turning around, he stopped looking at Shi Min, and said angrily, "That's just right, that's what I want."

At this moment, Bu Qianxue's heart was turbulent, like a small boat on the sea rising and falling with the waves, and might erupt at any time.

"Don't be angry, I didn't lie to you. The reason why I used water instead of wine at the banquet was because I had alcoholism. Even the director of the hospital couldn't cure it. If you don't drink alcohol, everything will be fine. If you drink alcohol, it will be like you are on the road. As Wancun sees, he may die at any time." Shi Min didn't expect Bu Qianxue to be so angry, and quickly clarified softly while holding the other party's hand.

Bu Qianxue didn't buy it, and pulled out her hand directly, "I'm tired, please go back, Your Majesty." She felt a little heavy when she had to say these unlucky words on a happy day, but Shi Min didn't want to leave just yet, and wanted to be the last Struggling, Bu Qianxue didn't give her a chance at all, opened the door and sent her out, but remembered Shi Min's words in her heart.

Lu Guanchu, Banyue and Lu Yan were waiting not far from the door, when they saw Shi Min coming out, they quickly went up to salute and said, "Your Majesty, I wish you peace."

In front of them, Shi Min had no choice but to swallow the pleading words in his throat, "Return to Fengde Palace", and stopped suddenly when he reached the gate of the palace, "Lu Yan", "Wei Chenzai" followed as usual Lu Yan, who was about to be sent outside the door, hurriedly stepped forward to salute and replied.

"From now on, the Queen's Palace will be your master, take good care of her, and report to me or the Queen Mother in time if there are any deficiencies or inadequacies. Don't be negligent in the slightest. Do you understand?" Bu Qianxue was the chief pawnbroker because he liked his quietness and prudence, but even so, she couldn't help admonishing him a few times, for fear that Bu Qianxue would be wronged in the palace.

According to the palace regulations of the Hua Dynasty, the empress, like the emperor, can appoint a chief steward of the fifth grade, but because they are only engaged to each other now, and they do not live in Anren Palace, so they can only appoint a chief steward. If Ban Yue finally decides to follow Bu When Qianxue enters the palace, she will also become one of Bu Qianxue's senior servants as usual.

Lu Yan's promotion from a seventh-rank palace vice-manager to Bu Qianxue's Dian-manager by jumping three ranks in one fell swoop had something to do with Shi Min's intentions. The current status is due to whom.

"My minister will follow His Majesty's will, and will do my best to serve the Central Palace." Lu Yan, as an old fritter in the palace, is very clear, and immediately expressed his loyalty with sincerity.

On the way back to Fengde Palace, Shi Min specifically asked Lu Guanchu to go to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow to ask the director of the Imperial Hospital to ask Bu Qianxue for a pulse.

After Shi Min left, Ban Yue and Lu Yan immediately entered the hall. After Lu Yan asked for instructions, Bu Qianxue let him go down. When there were only two people left in the hall, Ban Yue seemed to have opened up a chatterbox. Gifts, everything I saw at the dinner party was mentioned, and after I finished talking, I realized that my young master's expression was a little strange.

But no matter how Ban Yue asks, Bu Qianxue just refuses to say anything, until just before the break, Qingying comes over and smoothes its hair, and Bu Qianxue feels better.

It's okay for Shi Min to be busy with political affairs, she understands and supports her, but today is the big day of their engagement, but Shi Min made such a joke, which made her really unhappy, especially when she was still secretly trying to solve the problem of subordinates. Thinking of a way.

Early the next morning, there were many newspaper sellers in the streets and alleys of Fandu. They carried satchels on their backs and held a stack of A3-sized newspapers folded in half. Huangshang buys everything that has happened recently. It only costs two cents, only two cents....",.......

At the beginning, there were a lot of people watching the excitement, but no one bought it. It was not until a newspaper seller ran outside Mingdao College, just to be met by the incoming students, "Give me a copy", was the first purchase. people, "give me one too"....

In the morning, Shi Min interviewed Ma Jinqian while reading the first issue of this year's newspaper. Today's final edition is the same as the one she revised yesterday afternoon. The headline of the first issue of the first edition is the happy news of her engagement to Bu Qianxue , Well, it is very commemorative, and immediately sent to Yongshou Palace, Anren Palace and Changfu Palace respectively.

From the initial preparation of the newspaper to today's release, Shi Min can't remember how many times he changed it. From the paper to the price, to the content, to the board, there are shadows of the newspaper in his previous life, but the content is more streamlined, and there are only two pages. It is mainly about the major events that happened in the past ten days in the Hua Dynasty, such as the punishment of those corrupt officials, the latest policies, the general situation of the vassal states coming to pay tribute, etc.

After Ma Jinqian succeeded in running for the Imperial Merchant, he decisively shifted the focus of his family and business to Fandu. First, he expressed his loyalty to His Majesty, taking the whole family and the focus of business as a pledge; Fandu gained a firm foothold and entered aristocratic society from then on.

Shi Min was naturally happy to hear about it, so even if Ma Jinqian delayed for some time, she didn't blame her. This caused the first newspaper to be published until today. Compared with newspapers, the preparations for the bus are almost the same. Try it all around.

As far as the newspaper itself and the carriage driver (wife) are concerned, as long as the investment is in place, it is really not difficult at all. The difficulty is that to implement measures according to local conditions in a country as large as the Hua Dynasty requires not only a detailed and clear management system, but also It is necessary to designate a corresponding emergency response plan to ensure that newspapers can be distributed in all provinces of Hua Dynasty in a timely manner, and buses can also be arranged where they are most needed, rather than arbitrarily one-size-fits-all.

According to Ma Jinqian's estimate, the laying of buses from county to county and from province to province will be completed by this year at the latest. Because the market demand is not clear, the laying of buses in the early stage is relatively conservative. As for the township and village level, it has not been considered yet. The roads in the village are not guaranteed, and the second is that going to the market is not certain, unlike the village where she lived in her previous life, it was clear to go to the market every 2 and 7.

Shi Min thought it was okay, so he encouraged Ma Jinqian to say a few words, and then left her to have breakfast together, and asked her to talk about some business experiences, and listened carefully, and would ask a few questions when he didn't understand, until Go to the morning court quickly before Ma Jinqian is allowed to leave.

Shi Min was going to go to Changfu Palace, but before she opened her mouth, Lu Guanchu reported the Empress Dowager's illness with a sad face, and the Empress Dowager and Zhonggong had already rushed to Yongshou Palace, so they rushed there immediately .

After going back last night, Zhao Huan felt a little unwell. In order not to worry Wen Yu and the others, no one called Daoist Zhang and Chi En at night. Thinking that not only did he not get better this morning, but he even made his condition worse.

Wen Yu and Bu Qianxue were having breakfast in their respective palaces while listening to the new daily report from Wenxuan Palace. When they received the so-called new daily report, they were not surprised because Shi Min had told them in private An outline, I had already read it once, but I felt that it was not enough, so I asked the internal officer to read it again.

When the two heard that the Empress Dowager was sick, they hurriedly put down and rushed to Yongshou Palace with half of their breakfast. Wen Yu was closer and arrived first. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was pale and mentally weak, An didn't respond, and suddenly felt sad. After hearing the words of Daoist Zhang and the director of the Supreme Hospital, he was even more flustered.

Wen Yu's only thought was to send someone to inform her daughter immediately, and she did so. The person sent happened to be met by Bu Qianxue, so she asked Lu Yan to ask, and learned that the Empress Dowager's illness was worse than she thought. Not daring to delay any longer, he hurried inside.

Shi Min rushed to Yongshou Palace non-stop. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the empress mother and Qianxue with sullen faces. He hurried in and saw that Grandma Huang was still conscious. Zhang Daochang and others asked: "How is the condition of the Empress Dowager?".

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after consulting with Daoist Zhang and others, the empress dowager's illness is very serious. Unless 500-year-old ginseng and century-old jinshanghua are used as medicine, it may be difficult to cure, and the one-year period is slim." The director of the hospital stepped forward to salute and replied.

Both ginseng and jinshanghua are special products of the Hua Dynasty. They have strict requirements on the growing environment. Ginseng is afraid of heat, drought, and sun. It requires loose, fertile soil, and humid and cool air. It mostly grows in the southwest direction of promising wells. On famous mountains, it is generally found in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests on the mountainside.

The requirements for the growing environment of Jinshanghua are even more stringent. The temperature should be mixed with hot and cold, neither too cold nor too hot. The soil should not only be fertile but also contain pebbles. Most of them grow on the edge of the famous mountain in the northwest where there is a hopeful well. It is the intersection of ice and snow and green plants.

Ginseng is well known in past and present lives, but Jinshanghua is unique to this continent. Anyway, in modern times, let alone seeing it, I have never heard of it. Ginseng has miraculous effects when used together.

In the territory of Hua Dynasty, all famous mountains with hopeful wells are managed by special officials from the government. Whether it is fertility water or rare medicinal materials and wood on the mountains, only special personnel can go into the mountains to pick and cut down.

Because both ginseng and jinshanghua are very precious and rare, both are royal tributes. No matter how much the managers pick, they must all be paid tribute to the emperor, and there is a minimum requirement for the amount of tribute. If the task is not completed, the person in charge will be demoted. Those who can't escape will be dismissed from office.

Therefore, ginseng and jinshanghua, which are unique to the royal family, are also excellent items to reward nobles and ministers. Let alone those who have made great contributions, don’t even think about it. What I get in a year is only more than ten catties. Anyway, Shi Min has been here for so many years, and the longest ginseng I have seen is only 200 years old, and Jinshanghua is even shorter, less than 80 years old.

It is recorded in the book that there are 500-year-old ginseng, but that is what happened in the previous dynasty. As for the [-]-year-old jinshanghua, I got one by chance in the early days of this dynasty, but Hua Gaozu didn’t have enough, so how could it be Stay for now.

What she sees most is ginseng less than 50 years old, and brocade flowers less than [-] years old. These are sold in the market, and they are all bought and sold in taels. One tael is worth more than a hundred taels of silver, and even if you have money, you can’t buy kind of.

"Daozhang Zhang, can't it be made up by quantity?" Shi Min wanted to struggle again, because the two medicinal materials they wanted were hard to get. If the quantity could be made up, it should be enough for the current stock.

"No, it has to be quantity and quality," Daoist Zhang replied calmly, in stark contrast to the timid director of the Tai Hospital.

"Grandma Huang, she, and..." Shi Min couldn't utter the last few words, she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Bu Qianxue had never seen Shi Min so sad, walked over from behind, and held her hand, while Wen Yu, who was sitting in the upper seat, heard the sad news again, and covered his face with his sleeves and burst into tears.

The empress dowager is younger than Zhaohou, but Zhaohou has passed his centenary birthday, but the empress dowager is running out of time. Why can't such an amiable grandma live longer? Bu Qianxue is both sad and sad. He felt aggrieved and felt that the sky was short-sighted, so that he completely forgot about the fact that he was still angry with Shi Min.

"I have nine levels of confidence that nothing will happen within half a month." The director of Tai Hospital sweated a lot on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.

"Poverty Dao has nine levels of confidence that nothing will happen within a month, and no more than five levels and below," Zhang Daochang replied indifferently.

Zhang Daozhang's words gave Shi Min a glimmer of hope, one month, except for the time to go back and forth, there is still time to find the medicinal materials, half a month, just tossing back and forth is enough, how can there be any time to find the medicinal materials. ?
