As a medical concubine

Chapter 18 The Lady of Langya
Huazhu counted the chess pieces hidden in the sleeves, and then subtracted them from the total, and it was indeed this number!

Huazhu wished to pry open his brain to see what kind of structure it was inside!Fu E sighed for a long time, and asked calmly, "How much?"

Liao Zicheng compared his slender fingers like jade, "Your share, ten taels of pruning branches, add up to a total of one hundred and forty taels."

Huazhu frowned: "One hundred and forty taels? I only picked 47 oranges. Could it be that one orange is worth two taels of silver?"

Liao Zicheng's stern face seemed to have passed something, but it was too fast for people to catch. "The price for selling to good people is different from the price for selling to thieves."

After Nian Xizhu woke up, Huazhu explained the incident to her, and told her to keep her mouth shut, not to publicize the matter, so as not to damage her reputation.

Yan Bo also pretended that he had never been to the Orange Garden, parted ways with the two sisters, and first went to the West Mansion to meet the old lady. Before leaving, he called Liao Zicheng, "I hope you can think carefully about what I mentioned to you. If you don't There is really no way, and I will not find you here."

Liao Zicheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Don't think about it, no matter how many times you ask, my answer is no."

Yan Bo was so angry that he kicked over the bucket in the yard.

When Yan Bo came, everyone in the Nian Mansion was in high spirits, the second room just happened to return to her mother's house, and everyone in the first room gathered in the main courtyard for dinner.

Yan Bo was very polite to Nian Zhengyuan, calling him "Father" more affectionately than his own. Nian Zhengyuan was very satisfied with this son-in-law!

"Junxi, did you see that? From now on, I must follow your brother-in-law's example, study hard, and be tireless, so that I can raise the prestige of Northern Qi!"

Mrs. Ni hurriedly ordered people to make hangover soup in a low voice, and thoughtfully put a piece of his favorite salted duck in her husband's bowl, to please her husband, so that he could not help but argue with his own father.

Nian Junxi was sullen and gloomy.

Yan Bo patted him on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: "It's rare to come back, come, we two brothers have a good drink, so we won't be drunk forever!"

The Three Little Pigs just ate vegetables, Huazhu loved chicken wings, and Nian Lizhu also liked to eat them. He raised his chopsticks to pick them up, but Nian Xizhu quickly snatched them from his hands.

Nian Xizhu snorted proudly, and "hugged" a pair of chicken wings away, one for herself and one for Hua Zhu, Nian Lizhu rolled her eyes in anger!

After the banquet, the eldest lady pulled Yan Bo to ask Jiangzhu how she was. Yan Bo told the eldest lady that the midwife said that Jiangzhu had a big belly, and it was likely to be twins. She might give birth early, and now both the midwife and the wet nurse are living in the mansion. ,Standby.

After listening, the eldest lady was both excited and worried, "Oh, twins are too dangerous, what if something goes wrong? I think your eldest aunt..."

Big aunt refers to the elder sister of the eldest lady, the current Princess Yan, Princess Yan became pregnant shortly after marrying into the palace. They were twins, and only one survived. Since then, Princess Yan has fallen ill and can no longer Conceive a healthy child, barely give birth to a boy, but it's a pot of medicine out of ten.

It is also the daughter of the Yan family, the eldest married the prince, but the second child devoted herself to a poor scholar. When she first started, the eldest lady shed tears a lot. After learning the sad news of Yan Wangfei and the little princess, she felt a little more balanced.But when Wang Fu and Nian's family expressed their intention to marry Yan Bo at the same time, but the Yan family chose Jiangzhu, the last trace of resentment in the lady's heart disappeared.

After the banquet was over, Nian Junxi dragged the eldest lady into the back room, and asked the maid to guard the door, not allowing anyone to come in.

"Mother, Nian Mansion...I'm afraid something big will happen. I was afraid that you would be worried before, so I never dared to tell you." Nian Junxi stared at the bewildered eldest lady, and said solemnly, "The crown prince called for Hua Zhu to participate. draft, and then send it to the prince's mansion through the mouth of the queen."

The face of the eldest lady changed, and she screamed: "A draft?"

"Hush—" Nian Junxi hurriedly made a silent gesture, "Don't let father hear, I haven't told him about this yet!"

The lady's chest began to heave violently, "Huazhu has never been out of Jianyang, so why did the prince take care of it? When did the prince see Huazhu?"

Nian Junxi frowned, "Of course the crown prince has never seen Huazhu! But mother, don't forget, the crown princess is the daughter of the Li family in Langya, and Li's mansion is a side branch of the Li family. I have reported the whole story to the Li family, and it just so happens that the crown prince is staying there during this private visit, so it's hard to know."

The eldest lady's whole person is not well, "What? The prince... a private visit in a micro-service?"

Nian Junxi sighed quietly, "Yes! No one got the news in advance, and they don't know which way the prince has gone, where he has been, and how many remarks that are not conducive to corrupt officials. Now, everyone is in danger Already!"

In the past, Nian Junxi looked down on his father's honesty and incorruptibility. He couldn't make money, let alone please his boss, but at this moment, he suddenly felt very grateful that his father had upheld his principles. At least, he didn't have to worry all day long that his family would be ransacked and wiped out.

The eldest lady wiped off her cold sweat with a handkerchief, and thoughtfully said: "It's not bad to enter the palace, after all, it's not easy to find a husband's family after all, even if we don't talk about Liao Zicheng's matter She can't get over Mr. Li's troubles. I heard from your eldest aunt that the emperor is not in good health, and I don't think he can survive next spring. When the crown prince ascends the throne and seals the harem, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, she can stay in the palace. The throne is not a problem. Amitabha, my son, if she succeeds, why worry about your future?"

The moon is bright and bright, and the trees are full of shadows.

Hua Zhu and Ni Shi went back together, but it was not the right way, but Ni still made it to Hua Zhu.

"Thank you, Second Sister, I feel much stronger these days."

"Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and go away like silk. It doesn't take a while to recover from a few years of illness. My sister-in-law still needs to be more patient."

Mrs. Ni opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Huazhu noticed her strangeness, and asked in a low voice, "Did sister-in-law have something to say to me?"

Ni clasped Huazhu's bright wrist, looked around, and saw no suspicious person within range, so she said: "When I passed mother's room just now, I seemed to hear your elder brother talking about..."

"Brother and sister, second sister!" Yan Bo came out from the path behind the rockery, approached Huazhu and Ni with a friendly smile.
