Chapter 184 The Secret Recipe
"Shizi Concubine, Aunt Chen is outside, saying she wants to greet you." Hongmei replied, feeling strange herself.This Chen Qilu never came to the door, why came here to greet her now, could it be that the fourth wife came to teach her to enlighten her?

"Let her in." Everyone was at the door, so it was impossible to let her in.Chen Jiao'er spoke thoughtfully.

Chen Qilu came in to say hello to her. It had been a long time since she entered the door last time.At that time, she was still a young lady in her boudoir, and she came to visit her with boundless vision and hope.

But this time, she was already the second young master's aunt, everything changed, everything was different.

"Aunt Chen, sit down, but something is missing, or the servants have neglected you."

Hearing Chen Jiao'er's tone, Chen Qilu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said coyly, "Sister, could it be that she dislikes my sister's worthlessness, and has always been at odds with her before, but she just felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, not because she was angry with her. Mother came over and talked to her After I persuaded her, my sister came to her senses. From now on, we sisters will get along well, and my sister will never be angry with my sister again."

Chen Jiao'er and the maids in the room looked at Chen Qilu in surprise, and Hongmei couldn't help but want to touch her forehead to see if she had a fever and was talking nonsense.

"Sisters get along with each other a long time ago. Now that you are married, you should put your husband's family first. It's better for Aunt Chen not to cause people to misunderstand, so as not to spread the word that there are no rules in the palace."

The concubine Shizi is the dignified master of the palace, and the aunt can only be regarded as a servant who serves others.What's more, one is the first wife of the eldest son, and the other is the aunt of the second young master. They are not from the same house at all. How can they be sisters?

Chen Qilu's eyes were a little red, she stood up again and bowed politely, "The concubine remembers it, the concubine is not to be blamed. It's just that the concubine is thinking about her previous love, so don't be so attached to Qilu."

"Just tell me what it is, if I can help you, I won't make things difficult for you." Chen Jiao'er looked at Chen Qilu who was completely different from a few years ago, and finally sighed.

"That's right, that's right..." After finishing speaking, people couldn't help but laugh.

The fourth wife didn't know what she believed, she thought that there was some secret recipe for Chen Jiao'er to get a boy in one fell swoop, and she wanted her daughter to ask for one, so that she could give birth to a child before the main wife came in.

Knowing that there is no secret recipe, Chen Qilu still refused to give up, and after a long time she said, "Mother said that the concubine and nobleman, if you let me worship the gods in your house, maybe it will be more effective."

What kind of weird way to seek a child is this, seeing her expression, Chen Jiao'er's heart softened.Back then when she was childless, the concubine didn't know how many prescriptions she had asked for. She had seen weirder things than this before, so she could understand her eagerness to ask for a child.

Asking Hongmei to accompany her into the back room with the dragon and phoenix bed, she said she wanted to read a scripture alone, so Hongmei had no choice but to go back to Chen Jiaoer and retreat to the outside room to guard.

After tossing about half of the incense, Chen Qilu withdrew, thanking Chen Jiao'er again and again.Only then did he return to his small courtyard contentedly.

Hongmei was worried, and looked around carefully in the back room, and came out and said, "There is nothing missing, and there is no weird smell."

Chen Jiao'er nodded absent-mindedly, but her mind wandered to other places.Rumors outside are hard to guard against. It is useless to block them, only to eradicate them from the source.

Zhou Mingyuan came back from a seat outside, and saw this scene, Chen Jiaoer looked out the window again in a daze, her brows seemed to be frowning, and she gently supported her shoulder from behind, "Everything is mine, don't worry."

Chen Jiao'er turned around, "Do you know why Chen Qiluo said that?"

"She refused to say that we don't want to use punishment for people from other places. However, there is a little nun in the nunnery who provided clues, saying that Mrs. Chen's family has come to see her daughter." The place where the Empress Dowager and Empress pray for blessings.Today's presiding officer was once the concubine of the first emperor.Chen Qiluo was just having a dream, it is impossible to punish her based on this, if she refuses to say anything, there is really nothing to do with her.

"Also, the host of the Cixin Nunnery said that he would go down the mountain to pray for blessings at every royal family's mansion." After thinking about it, Zhou Mingyuan still told her everything outside.Guessing will only make people more disturbed, it is better to know the truth.

The eldest lady went up the mountain to see Chen Qiluo, and presided over the downhill to go to various houses to pray for blessings. Are these things a coincidence, or are they all linked together.

He said a little uneasy, "Liu Shuhe seemed to like dealing with people outside Fang very much in the past."

"At that time, her identity was there, and if she said a word, people would come forward to flatter her. Don't forget her current identity. It's too late for others to hide, so how could she help her. As for Chen Qiluo, I guess she came out with the money. The life in the nunnery is extremely poor, and people like her who have never experienced hardship are naturally not used to it."

Half of these words were true. Chen Qiluo not only took the money, but also believed in the promise, and tried to find a way to help her get out of this ghostly place after it was done.

The eldest lady of the Chen family looked at her son who was already able to help someone out of bed and walked a few steps, and she burst into tears with excitement. The livelihood of the family has become more and more difficult in recent years.This year, she had to sell some of her jewelry in order to have a good New Year.Unexpectedly, there would be such a good thing, the prescription given to her by her daughter could make Zi'an get out of bed and walk.

As long as her son recovers, the doctor won't care what she wants her to do, and what's wrong with her has nothing to do with her.

After hearing what the second lady said, the old lady of the Chen family frowned and said, "Why is the old lady looking for the fourth child? It's possible that the fourth child's family can still borrow money from her."

"Hehe, old ancestor, you don't know where my sister-in-law found a miracle doctor and healed Zian's leg. She also redeemed all the jewelry that was pawned in one breath. It seems she was lucky."

"Oh, and this kind of thing, it would be better if we can cure all the diseases together." Because of the relationship between the eldest lady, the old lady didn't like this grandson very much, especially after a series of bastard things made the old lady He was determined not to take care of Da Fang's family anymore.

"Go and ask the fourth family." The old lady finally spoke, and the second lady was overjoyed, telling you to hide it, but to see if you can get something in front of your mother-in-law.

The fourth wife came over anxiously to say hello. After listening to the question, her eyes rolled for a long time, and then she squeezed out a smile and said, "Second sister-in-law is really good at joking. What can I hide from the old lady? No matter how big sister-in-law's family is, she is also called sister-in-law." , call me over, can I not go? It’s just about Zian, I want to find him a capable wife, but I can’t let him be a widower for the rest of my life.”

"It's really just a matter of marrying a wife, nothing else." The old lady looked at the fourth wife carefully, seeing the twinkle in her eyes, she felt disgusted in her heart.

He just put down the words and said, "If you don't tell the truth today, don't come to me, an old woman, if you get caught in the future. Go down, it's up to you."

The fourth wife's expression darkened, she had a different relationship with the old lady, she used to be able to live comfortably in the mansion, and she had the support of the old lady, even if she went out to work alone, she also subsidized her money in private.She is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, how could she not remember.

However, what happened to Qilu completely broke her heart.She has no son, and her two daughters are her lifeblood.Two years ago, my husband took a concubine and had a son.He stared at the family's money, and refused to spend a penny on his daughter except for the dowry set before.

But not to mention the small ones, the big ones are in the palace, if they don't have any money to defend themselves, how can they survive this day.

The 1 taels of silver that the sister-in-law gave her literally saved her life.Thinking of Qilu being carried to the palace, the second sister-in-law and the old lady together only gave a few hundred taels of silver.Feeling a little guilty, I immediately took it back.

He straightened his waist and said, "Daughter-in-law dare not bother the old lady."

As soon as the fourth wife left, the second wife said, "I can't let them cause trouble, do you want my daughter-in-law to..."

"Don't worry about it, the family has been separated anyway, and we can't be involved in anything. I'm afraid we didn't join forces to start this matter, so let's pretend we don't know anything."

The old lady pressed her forehead, her face was full of exhaustion, the second lady saw it, she let the old lady rest a little uneasy, and went down to think about it by herself.

The first stop of Mrs. Huiji going down the mountain was the imperial palace. She lived in the imperial palace for many years and became a monk to pray for the first queen mother. Naturally, she was highly respected by the concubines in the palace.Even the queen personally set up a vegetarian banquet to entertain her, and asked her to teach the Dharma to the concubine in the palace.

After staying in the palace for three days, Huiji acted like a queen resigning. The queen urged her to stay for a few more days. People in the family are in panic, and it affects the reputation of the royal family. The poor nun went to the various houses to pray for blessings, and used Buddhism to save the evildoers, and this difficulty was solved."

"Master is planning to go down the mountain to save all sentient beings for the sake of the common people in the world. It is not good for me to stay here." The queen asked her that her next stop would be the East Prince's Mansion, and personally sent someone to take her there. report.When the princess received the letter, she opened the middle door wide, and ordered all the female family members in the mansion to greet her at the second door.

When Chen Jiao'er received the letter, she immediately sent someone to clean out a wing room with an excellent location, and arranged for a daily vegetarian meal.Only then did I change my clothes, and went to Moyuan to meet the princess, and went to the second gate together.

"Amitabha, goodness is goodness. After many years, the donor's demeanor remains the same." Master Huiji was about the same age as the princess, so he was no stranger.

"Master is merciful, please take your seat." The visitor is a guest, and someone from outside, the princess will not argue with her about these things.

However, Mrs. Huiji seemed to be very winking, so she gave up the seat to the concubine, and she accompanied the next one.The two chatted for a while, Chen Jiao'er stepped forward and said that the guest room was ready, and even called a few girls and women to wait on it.

The teacher took a closer look at Chen Jiao'er's face and said, "The concubine Shizi has a good face, and it seems that her family was very good when she was young, but it's a pity that she suffered accidents in vain, and after that, she will have to meet a nobleman and have a smooth sailing."

"Master Miao Zan, Jiao'er was wandering at a young age. If you want to talk about unforeseen misfortunes, your parents have passed away one after another. Fortunately, she was taken in by the old lady of the Chen family. It is indeed as what the teacher said." Chen Jiao'er saw a flash in her eyes. surprised.
