Chapter 153 – Childishness
Hearing Wan Er’s words, Fan Xian’s face immediately sank, but immediately thought of his wife’s health, and hurriedly put on a gentle smile and said with a smile, “What are you thinking about? Mr. Fei is my teacher, who has seen me grow up since I was a child, and that medicine is the good medicine that my teacher fished out from Dongyi City when we got married, so how could he not understand the way of the king and the bully complementing each other? This more than a year, you eat that medicine, body and bones obviously see good, can not stop …… you this little fool.”
Lin Wan’er smiled faintly, a hint of fatigue in her smile, and said softly, “Fei Lao’s medicine is naturally good, but …… what Master Bitter Lotus said ……”
Not waiting for his wife to finish, Fan Xian had already said decisively, “Master Bitter Lotus fights and discusses the Tao is of course the world’s top figure, but when it comes to seeing diseases and taking medicines, he can’t even compare me with one of my teacher’s little fingers, listen to him? Might as well listen to the sow.”
Although he restrained himself, Wan Er still heard the anger in the depths of his words, gently pulling his hand, comforting: “Don’t be angry, although the medicine has been stopped, but the Imperial Doctor has come to see him, saying that the old disease has already been cured, but recently, there may be some internal qi rushing, so the body is weakened a bit.”
Fan Xian shook his head, half sitting on the bed, wrapping Wan Er in his arms, gently patting her arms, saying, “Your body is the most important thing, don’t listen to what the others say.”
Wan Er leaned in his arms, silent for a moment, slowly said, “But …… I really want a child.”
Fan Xian was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and said after a long time, “I don’t want to be angry with you …… but I would love for you to know that there’s nothing to discuss, as long as you’re in good health, with or without a child, what’s the point?”
In today’s world, no queen is also regarded as a pile of big sins, and Wan’er and Fan Xian have been married for a year and a half, but there is no movement in the stomach, this girl always remember this matter on weekdays, so sad, at this time, but listening to Fan Xian such a grounded words, for a time can’t help but be baffled.
Wan Er’s emotions were complicated, it seemed to be joy, but there was also a faint sadness, mixed with a little indebtedness.
Fan Xian looked at his wife in his arms sad look, couldn’t help but sigh, reached out his fingers and gently rubbed between her eyebrows, said softly: “In this world, there are a lot of stupid …… people who think that not being able to have a child is a woman’s problem, in fact, ah, I’ll tell you, can you give birth to a child, it’s the husband and wife’s two things …… I see, it is highly likely that I got semen dilution what disease, and you have anything to do with it?”
This is to comfort Wan’er’s stubborn joke, Lin Wan’er but listen to the silly, thought Xianggong is really a cheeky, that two words can also say out, but simply do not understand what Fan Xian said what disease, only vaguely understand Fan Xian want to take the problem to their own intentions, can not help but white glance: “What is blindly talking about it? Whether or not you can give birth to a child has nothing to do with a big old man.”
Fan Xian laughed out loud and said, “Who says it doesn’t matter? Otherwise, why don’t you try to get old Yao Lao Dai in the palace to give birth to two of them?”
Lin Wan’er was stunned again.
Fan Xian continued to laugh, “Even if it’s the incredibly profound Eunuch Hong, if you let him give birth to a child, he won’t be able to ah …… So this giving birth to a child, of course, is a problem for both men and women.”
Lin Wan’er immediately came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed and spat, “The more you talk, the less you speak.”
Fan Xian put away his laughter and said with a straight face, “Then let’s be serious, the medicine must be taken consistently.”
Lin Wan’er lowered her head and let out a hmmm, but there was a twinkle in her eyes. Fan Xian looked down and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, knowing that he couldn’t convince her, Wan Er, this girl, was usually naive and pleasant, but inside she was ice smart, but when it came to something big involving herself as well as Fan Xian, she was extraordinarily persistent.
The scientific reasoning that Fan Xian spoke of was something that even a maverick like Haitang could not believe in, and Wan’er was naturally the same.
“Why must we have children?” Fan Xian compassionately embraced his wife and said softly, “Look at your life in the palace when you were young, and think about my banishment from Tanyu since I was young, and you’ll know that you always have to raise a child when you have one, and if you can’t raise it well, you might as well not have it in the first place.”
Lin Wan’er lowered her head, pursed her lips, and objected with great composure and confidence, “We are not them, we can raise a child well.”
Fan Xian felt a slight hint of helplessness, “But …… if you really can’t have a child because of me, then it’s better not to have one, it’s not as important as your body.”
Lin Wan’er felt warm, but still stubbornly shook her head, “I want a child.”
Fan Xian said with a headache, “Always so stubborn.”
Lin Wan’er looked up at him, her long eyelashes blinking gently, “I want to have a child with you …… This year, you are either in North Qi or in Jiangnan, I am very lonely ……”
Although only part of the reason, but still hear Fan idle heart thick apology, do not know how to say.
The two quietly embraced, perhaps by the body temperature agitation, Wan Er and gently coughing, she did not want to Fan Xian worry, so hard to suppress, small face red, looks very poor. Fan Xian’s heart was sore, gently rubbing her chest, comforting, “Don’t think so much, after arriving in Hangzhou, I’ll give you a good tune up and recuperate …… As for Mr. Fei’s medicine, I’ll analyze it more carefully, but no matter what, it can’t be stopped.”
Lin Wan’er raised her head and looked at him pitifully like a kitten.
Fan Xian sunk his face down and put on a fierce look, “This matter is not negotiable.”
Lin Wan’er pouted her full lips and rubbed her head against his arms.
Fan Xian sighed and began to massage her to relax her mind, his fingers traveling around, passing in the pure Qi of the Heavenly Dao. Wan Er only felt that her body was warm, her mind gradually became clearer and clearer, and the fatigue of her body after the long journey became more and more intense, and she fell asleep against his body in such a relieved and incomparable manner.
Fan Xian walked out of the bedroom, stretched his back, and soothed his stiff limbs.
The daughter-in-law of the Fuji family greeted him and spoke with him about the events of the journey. Fan Xian nodded his head as he listened, it seemed that since leaving Kyoto and not being under her father’s watchful eye, Wan’er had begun to stop taking her medication, a move that could be described as courageous, and naturally, reckless as well.
However, Fan Xian couldn’t feel half a bit of anger, although deep down in his heart he still thought that Wan Er should love her own body the most, but after all, it was for the sake of the child’s business, how could he bear to let Wan Er feel sad again.
He instructed his daughter-in-law to prepare the usual medicines, and she said, “What should we do if the young lady refuses to take them?”
Fan Xian looked down and thought for a moment, “Tell me when it’s ready, and I’ll go feed it to her.”
The daughter-in-law of Mr. Fuji’s family was overjoyed, praised the heavens, and went off happily.
When he came to the front hall, Deng Ziyue, who was sent to Shazhou west to pick up Wan Er, saluted and greeted him, and also told him what happened on the way, nowadays, the Jiangnan water fortresses are honest, and Shazhou is stationed with the Jiangnan navy, so Wan Er and her party went down the river, and did not encounter any thing.
Fan Xian nodded, sitting on the chair, suddenly sighed, face faintly worried.
Deng Ziyue was slightly stunned, thinking that his superior lord, even when he was facing the second prince in Kyoto, and when he was killing people in the night in Jiangnan, he had never shown such a grim look, what was wrong with him? He guessed in his heart, could it be that the battle for the rightful wife of the Fan House has already been staged? He could not help but bow his head in fear and keep quiet, not uttering a word.
Fan Xian simply did not know what was going on in his mind, he himself was just recalling what Wan Er had said earlier, Mr. Fei s medicine …… really has such serious side effects?
From Tanyu State to Kyoto before the wedding, in the Qing Temple met Wan Er before, Fan Xian knew that his wife has been infected with consumption, this disease in today’s world, basically is considered a terminal disease, just a young man and woman once met, always have immense courage to meet the future of the disease, so at that time, just forcibly suppressed that hidden fear.
Fortunately, there is Mr. Fei, the wedding night, Mr. Fei rushed back from the city of Dongyi after all the trouble, and brought back a special cure for consumption of the strange medicine, the name of the medicine a smoke and ice, this medicine took Mr. Fei four years of time.
Because four years before the wedding, the palace has already had the wind of the marriage of the two families of Fan Lin.
With so much energy, so much time to get the strange medicine is really effective, after the wedding Wan Er has been adhering to serve, each time just scrape off a little from that pill, with the soup served, the body will gradually good, no longer coughing, the Palace of the Imperial Physicians also believe that the county head of the Queen’s Consumption has been miraculously cured.
But …… side effects?
“Vinegar tortoise shell,” Fan Xian recalled the ingredients in that pill, “Di Huang, Colla Corii Asini, Bee Wax …… What does this have to do with having a baby?”
But he immediately thought of the look on his face when Fei Jie spoke on the wedding night.
“After taking the medicine, you have to forbid intercourse for one month.”
This is naturally a naughty joke, but at this time Fan Xian recalled it and realized that his teacher really seemed to hide some what important information. And later …… Fan Xian has also been feeling strange, why Mr. Fei rarely meets with himself, it seems that the other party is hiding something.
Could it be that …… the real side effect of this Smoke and Ice is that it will damage the patient’s reproductive function?
Fan Xian sat in his chair and couldn’t help but shake his head …… As long as Wan Er’s disease can be cured, as long as the consumption doesn’t recur, as long as she’s healthy and well, what’s so important about being able to have a child?
In his previous life, Fan Xian thought that the most inexplicable scene in the world was the one he occasionally saw on TV or in novels, in which the doctor in the maternity ward was full of caution, and told the family of the woman in labor that the woman had a difficult labor and could only save one, whether to protect the adult or the child?
Do they want to save the adult or the child? Do you need to ask? Fan Xian has always thought that this is the most stupid question, absolutely stupid, stupid to the extreme.
Fan Xian was not a fool.
But.
“Old bald ass!” Fan Xian stared coldly at the stone floor in front of him, his eyes blazing with evil fire as he said grimly, “You big dumb ass!”
Deng Ziyue froze, not understanding the word stupid ass, but could clearly see that Lord Tishi had already reached the tipping point of rage, and hurriedly consoled, “Lord rest in peace, Lord rest in peace.”
Fan Xian cursed under his breath, “Rest the f*ck out of anger!” He slapped his palm down, directly smashing the table beside him into pieces, and cursed grimly, “That goddamned old bald ass, what in the world are his intentions!”
Ignoring whether or not Mr. Fei’s medicine had side effects, but it was truly of great benefit to Wan’er’s body, and after Wan’er stopped taking the medicine, her body was obviously weakened, so who knew what would happen in the future? Wan’er stopped taking the medicine because Bitter Lotus pointed out this matter …… and why did Bitter Lotus do this?
Fan Xian doesn’t think that Bitter Lotus is a purely compassionate guy, and whether or not his own wife can have a child, I believe, won’t make him so attentive ……
The moment he thought of Wan’er nearly having her old illness come back because of Bitter Lotus’s words, Fan Xian’s fingers began to tremble with anger, and it was hard for him to suppress the urge to kill.
He stood up, his eyes blazing with sinister fire as he stared at Deng Ziyue and said, “Send orders to Su Wenmao and Xia Qufei to send goods north this year, and demote me by one rank!”
Deng Ziyue ah ah …… thought to myself What the hell happened? And North Qi’s trading sides have been very pleasant, suddenly make such a mess, seems to have hurt the big picture, can not help but persuade: “adults, although Zi Yue do not know what happened, but drop a grade, such as letting the North Qi lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver …… this thing is too big. ”
Fan Xian knew that Deng Ziyue was advising himself not to hurt the public discussion because of personal grudges, he said with a cold smile, “I’m a person who has grudges to pay back grudges, if someone else wants to make my house unhappy, I’m going to make his kingdom unhappy. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, in exchange for my wife’s cough for a dozen days, is considered cheap for them.”
Deng Ziyue heard the gloom in his lord’s tone and didn’t dare to say anything more, carefully asking, “What exactly happened?”
Fan Xian should not.
“My lord, what kind of donkey …… are you talking about the bald donkey?”
Fan Xian said with a sneer, “It’s the hairless old donkey of Northern Qi Bitter Lotus.”
Deng Ziyue was silent, his heart was shocked but he didn’t dare to say anything, secretly thinking that Lord Tisi dared to yell at the Four Gu Swords in the street (maybe not the Four Gu Swords?). At this time, calling Bitter Lotus an old donkey in his own home didn’t seem to be a big deal.
Fan Xian then said coldly, “Send a message to Wang Qinian, telling him to be ready to release the news.”
“Yes.” Deng Ziyue led the order and asked for instructions, “What specifications and roughly when?”
“Specifications?” Fan Xian narrowed his eyes, “Within three days, let everyone in Beiqi know a story, and also make people believe the story……. As for when, listen to my instructions.”
“Yes.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Ruo Ruo was now studying under Bitter Lotus, Fan Xian would have hated to release the news of Bitter Lotus eating human flesh today-although he knew that this kind of rumor wouldn’t do much damage to Bitter Lotus’ lofty reputation, nor would it gain any real benefits; in other words, today wasn’t the best time to release this news at all.
But Fan Xian couldn’t help it, he couldn’t kill Bitter Lotus now, so he had to do something to get back at him – in many cases, Fan Xian looked like a calm and sinister guy, but when it came to those he cared about most, he would be as angry as a lion, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to eat a few pieces of meat, and that he would still lose some money, but still wanting to roar and maintain his own territory. a bit of his territory.
Regardless of what Bitter Lotus thought, Wan’er did stop taking her medication because of his words, so Fan Xian made sure to make Bei Qi and Bitter Lotus themselves suffer some losses.
Perhaps it was a bit childish.
But Fan Xian can still call him a human being, probably because of these childishness.
