Chen Guogong's family has three daughters. Chen is the third eldest and has two older sisters. The eldest married into the Xu family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the second married into the Rao family of the Qing Dynasty in Shandong. It is these two daughters who are the bachelors of Xianzheng Palace today.
husband.
Could this be Sister Chen's legitimate daughter? How could a legitimate daughter go out so easily? It would be fine to go to her maternal grandfather's house, but it would be impossible to come to her aunt's house so far away.
Xie immediately understood what Chen meant.
This is to ask her to look at each other...
It stands to reason that he, Dingxi Marquis, would be a good match for marrying a daughter of the Rao family, but that was for a legitimate daughter, a concubine...
However, as long as there is an official position, the legitimate daughter in the family must find a legitimate son, and it is rare to fill a house for someone, let alone a younger one.
"This is my brother-in-law's younger brother's daughter. Her parents died early and she grew up with them," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Rao family!
Mr. Xie was a little surprised, but this child whose parents died young...
However, the children of the Rao family were raised by the daughter of Chen Guogong, so their upbringing was naturally the same.
"I'm telling you, this whole-body style is just like yours." Ms. Xie smiled and stretched out her hand, "Here, let me take a look."
Yu Fang walked over with her head lowered and put her hand in Xie's.
The palms are round, with unpainted nails, neatly trimmed, and full of bones and flesh, just Xie's favorite type.
Mr. Xie looked at her face again, and the more he looked at her, the more satisfied she became.
Mother Su had already prepared a greeting gift when Mr. Xie reached out and hurriedly brought it up.
"Come and play with it. I didn't know you were here, so don't dislike it." Xie smiled and handed her a set of three hanging silver bracelets.
Yu Fang accepted the offer generously, thanked her and returned.
"Yinglan, take Yufang to your sister-in-law's place to play." Mrs. Chen said.
Mr. Xie said nothing.
"Oh." Chang Yinglan responded slowly, bowed to Mrs. Xie and left.
"Go." Xie said with a smile.
Chang Yinglan went out and stood in the corridor without taking a step. Yu Fang followed her quietly without urging or hurrying.
"My sister-in-law is very boring and doesn't like to talk to others. She is the most boring person." Chang Yinglan turned her head and whispered to her, "Let's go to Shulan's place to play."
Yu Fang had a smile in her eyes.
"Sister, I heard from Mother Wang that it seems inconvenient for the second sister, right?" she said in a low voice.
Yinglan was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Aunt Zhou was suddenly sent to the family temple. Although she said she was praying for Mrs. Hou, this was not believed by the three-year-old child in the Hou family. The second lady's
The biological mother was Aunt Zhou, and although it had nothing to do with her, she still took the initiative to thank the guests behind closed doors.
This woman knows everything! She has only been here a few days!
"It's okay, it'll be convenient if I go there," Yinglan said.
Yu Fang smiled in understanding, lowered her head and stopped talking.
The two of them walked out again. Just as they were about to go out, they heard someone walking hurriedly behind them.
"... If he is not well, you are feeling even worse... Why are you two, mother and son, so miserable?" came Mrs. Chen's voice.
Yinglan was concerned about her mother and turned around quickly. Yu Fang also followed and saw Mrs. Chen walking out of the house. She was walking in a hurry without being supported. Behind her, Ms. Xie and the girl hurriedly caught up.
"Mother." Yinglan immediately turned around and ran over.
Yufang naturally followed.
When they passed by, Mrs. Chen had already entered a room.
"Get up quickly, aunt told you to get up." Her voice came from inside.
Mrs. Xie also opened the curtain and went in. The ladies and girls stopped and stayed at the door.
"This is..." Yinglan was confused.
"This is the room where the late wife's spiritual tablets are kept." A woman said to her in a low voice.
Yinglan suddenly realized that Mrs. Hou was the elder sister of Mrs. Hou now. Other families would not let her ex's spiritual tablet be placed in their yard due to house filling taboos. However, Xiao Xie had no taboo and put her sister's spiritual tablets on her since the day she got married.
The tablets were set up and have been there till now.
"Who's in there?" she couldn't help but ask.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice inside.
"I'm fine, mother."
The prince...
Yinglan was even more shocked and turned to look at Yu Fang.
Yu Fang looked here with some curiosity.
Chang Yinglan gritted her teeth and turned around and walked down.
"It's okay, let's go." She pulled Yu Fang and said.
Yu Fang said oh, nodded and followed her around.
After walking only a few steps, she heard the curtain behind her rustling and the girls and women commotion. Chang Yinglan couldn't help but stop and look, and Yu Fang naturally followed suit.
Among a group of women stood a tall young man. He lowered his head and seemed to be looking at his legs and feet. Although they were far apart, Rao Yufang could still see his description clearly at a glance. She couldn't help but be startled, and then her face turned red and drooped.
head.
It's him...
"What's wrong with Brother Shizi? It seems that his legs and feet are not feeling well..." Chang Yinglan couldn't help it and glanced at Yu Fang, "You go out and wait for me."
Rao Yufang laughed a little and glanced at Chang Yinglan slightly.
Chang Yinglan also felt rude when she said the words.
"Wait for me here, and I'll see what's going on." She said nonchalantly, and hurried over without waiting for Yu Fang to reply.
After Chang Yuncheng entered the house, there was a rush.
"Rub it with medicinal wine..."
"You still need to use some plaster..."
Seeing the bruises on her knees when her trouser legs were rolled up, Ms. Xie couldn't help crying.
"I'm fine, mother, this isn't even a skin injury." Chang Yuncheng said and smiled.
"Go and see sister-in-law." Chang Yinglan shouted.
After shouting these words, the room became quiet.
The atmosphere is a bit strange….
Chang Yinglan was a little confused. She didn't say anything wrong. My sister-in-law is a miracle doctor. Isn't this the best choice for her?
Hesitation appeared on Xie's face.
"No need." Chang Yuncheng said with a smile. He took a few shots of the medicinal wine, put down his trousers, stood up and walked a few steps.
"Look, it's okay," he said.
Seeing her son's emotions of joy, joy, and sadness, Ms. Xie shed even more tears. She nodded and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
The cry came from outside.
It was the woman's low, suppressed sobs.
Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, and when they looked outside, no one could be seen through the thick curtain.
"Miss Rao, what's wrong with you?" A young lady asked carefully and nervously.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm rude." A soft female voice came in, "I just feel grateful for my life experience...I thought about my parents who passed away early...I don't know what it feels like to be punished by your parents."
Chang Yinglan almost exploded with anger after hearing this. Your family members are all so kind to you! You lamented that no one scolded you anymore.
But Xie and Chang Yuncheng had different feelings after hearing this.
Chang Yuncheng glanced at the door again.
This glance fell in the eyes of Mrs. Chen and Mr. Xie.
"Yinglan, how do you treat your sister?" Mrs. Chen shouted in a low voice, "How can you treat guests like this?"
Who wants to receive such a guest? Chang Yinglan couldn't hide her anger, but she didn't dare to make her mother angry, so she bowed heavily and stepped out.
"move."
The footsteps left softly.
"She's a girl from your aunt's sister's family." Xie said to Chang Yuncheng casually.
Chang Yuncheng said oh, and Mr. Xie stopped mentioning it. He sat down and asked about his injury.
At this time, the atmosphere in the backyard of Qianjintang was also a bit tense, with many people surrounding it.
Everyone looked nervous and held their breath as they watched Hu San press a slender pipe into the bucket bit by bit.
When turning a position, a few bubbles pop up.
"It still doesn't work..." Everyone sighed in unison.
Qi Yue stood up and looked at a few pipes thrown aside.
"The sealing performance is not good," she murmured, "it will cause infusion contamination... I'm crazy. It hasn't been solved for decades. I want to solve it now..."
Everyone looked at her with a depressed look.
"Master..." Hu San was even more ashamed. It seemed that it was his fault that the pipe was not done properly. "The cobbler said that if it failed, he would give the money back..."
Qi Yue glared at him.
"Isn't someone's hard work valuable?" she said, "How can that be the case? Don't ask for money from others. I can't afford to embarrass that person."
Hu San touched his head and smiled.
"It's okay. If this doesn't work, it's normal. If it does, it's heresy." Qi Yue looked at everyone's frustrated expressions and smiled, waving her hands, "Come on, let's try this siphon again."
Immediately someone brought another basin of water.
Qi Yue quickly sucked it out with a siphon, and everyone was delighted.
Qi Yue also breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his sore hands. Although it didn't work very well, it was still usable and it was somewhat of an achievement.
"This is a glove." Qi Yue gave Hu San the picture he had just drawn.
"Gloves?" Hu San looked at the picture with some confusion, "Are they the ones you always wear, Master? Those cobblers can't make them..."
Qi Yue smiled and explained to him what it was going to be used for and what effect it would have. As for the rest, let the cobblers think about it. It was better for professionals to consider professional matters.
Liu Pucheng hadn't come back yet, so Qi Yue asked Zhang Tong for advice on the questions she didn't understand last night and went back. The most important thing for her now was to memorize these principles by rote, and then observe and learn on the spot.
Chang Yuncheng didn't come in until very late. Qi Yue heard him come in and happily came over to say hello.
"Hi, I made a siphon today, although it's not very easy to use..." she said with a bit of wanting to share her happiness.
Chang Yuncheng didn't look at her or pay attention to her, and Qiuxiang took off her clothes.
"What's wrong with your legs?" Qi Yue asked hurriedly when she saw him walking inward, his legs and feet were a little stiff and he was walking with a limp.
Chang Yuncheng still didn't answer. When he entered the bedroom door, he tripped over the threshold.
Qi Yue hurriedly stretched out her hand to support him.
"Are you injured? Let me see..." she said.
"Go away." Chang Yuncheng was held by her arm, and as if he was electrocuted, he shook his hand violently and shouted.
Qi Yue was not careful and bent over to look at Chang Yuncheng's legs. This time, he was thrown heavily on his shoulders, causing him to fall back.
There was a sound of shattering porcelain, the wooden frame fell to the ground, and the beauty bottle on it fell into pieces.
Qi Yue staggered a few steps and grabbed the partition frame to steady herself.
Chang Yuncheng forcefully retracted his stepped foot and outstretched hand. Looking at the woman's shocked face, he pinched his fingernails and tore the palms of his hands.
Such a familiar scene... It had only been so long, but she had forgotten it.
Qi Yue put away her surprise and smiled.
She clapped her hands, glanced at Chang Yuncheng, raised her hands towards him and made two pushing gestures, said nothing, turned around and walked away.*** (To be continued)
