As a medical concubine

Chapter 40
Entering the side room, a beautiful woman in her twenties, dressed in a white dress and purple shirt, bowed to the two, "Fourth Grandma, Miss Cousin."

As soon as he made a sound, Hua Zhu was quite surprised.Nian Jiangzhu noticed Hua Zhu's strangeness, and said with a smile: "Do you also think that Mrs. Dong's voice is particularly nice?"

"Yeah, it's not an exaggeration to say it's the sound of nature." In two lifetimes, Hua Zhu had never heard such a pleasant voice, like spring water dripping on a jade plate, and then knocking on her heart.

Nian Jiangzhu said to Dong Xiuniang: "Please trouble Miss Dong to start."

"Hey." Dong Xiuniang didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly took a ruler from the toolbox to measure for Huazhu, "Miss Biao has really good skin, and the water is fresh, just like a peeled lychee!"

Looking at Nian Jiangzhu who was eating candied date cake, she hurriedly said with a smile, "It reminds me of how Grandma Fourth was before she was pregnant!"

Nian Jiangzhu chuckled, "Miss Dong has such a mouth, no wonder there are so many guests, I can hardly invite you."

"Where is it? At the beginning, I was desperate. If the fourth grandma hadn't given me something to eat, I would have starved to death on the street. According to the fourth grandma's order, I will die if I go up the mountain of swords and under the frying pan!" Dong Xiuniang put away the ruler with a smile , "I made it overnight, and it must be delivered before the banquet!"

After Mrs. Dong left, Huazhu took Nian Jiangzhu back to the house, poured a cup of warm water for Nian Jiangzhu, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Sister, Mrs. Dong doesn't look very old, she is only in her early twenties. It looks like he is already well-known in Langya, why did he have nowhere to go?"

Nian Jiangzhu took a sip of warm water, and a proud look of a noble girl appeared in her eyes, "Have you heard of Liu Zhaozhao?"

"Liu Zhaozhao?" Huazhu thought for a while, and felt that the name was a little familiar, and raised her index finger after a while, "Ah, but the fifth famous prostitute in Jiangnan in "Five Women of Meizhuang"?"

"Well, it's her." Nian Jiangzhu put down the water glass, and picked up a piece of candied date cake, "Seven years ago, Liu Zhaozhao left the brothel and came to Langya, saying that he was... looking for relatives, and he brought only one maid, Lady Dong. "

Huazhu sighed, she thought Mrs. Dong was Liu Zhaozhao.

After Nian Jiangzhu finished eating one piece, another piece came, Huazhu hurriedly grabbed it and said, "I can't eat it, the baby is too big to give birth."

"Finally your brother-in-law stopped nagging me, and you come to me again!" Nian Jiangzhu pouted and glared at Huazhu, but her heart was sweet.

Huazhu just laughed, hugging her arm and laughing, "Good sister, tell me about Mrs. Dong again!"

Nian Jiangzhu poked her forehead with her index finger, "Where did you just say?"

"Liu Zhaozhao took Mrs. Dong to Langya to find relatives."

"Oh." Nian Jiangzhu nodded, "I guess Liu Zhaozhao is here to find a lover, but it's a pity that the beauty is unlucky. She lived in a small courtyard in Langya and died of illness within half a year, and she didn't leave it to Madam Dong. What kind of money do you want? Madam Dong has no one to rely on, she is kneeling and begging on the side of the street. I was not married to your brother-in-law at that time, but I just went back to Langya with my mother to visit relatives. I happened to meet her and felt sorry for her, so I introduced her to my mother She worked as an apprentice in a silk and satin factory, and after a few years, she has developed a skillful mind and skill, and now she has opened her own embroidery house."

As soon as the words were finished, Qing'er opened the curtain and came in, "Fourth Grandma, Bi'er who is next to the eldest lady is here."

When Bi'er came in, she was holding a large rectangular box in her hand. She bowed to Hua Zhu and Nian Jiangzhu, "Fourth Grandma, Miss Cousin, because she is going to the Li's residence for a banquet, the Eldest Miss ordered her slave to give her a dress." Give the shirt to Miss Cousin."

Huazhu opened the box, and a soft bright light came straight into her eyes. This is a pearl white double-breasted tunic skirt with a translucent purple belt. There is a bit of rare luxury in the elegance.

Even though Hua Zhu hated Yan Hua so much, she couldn't help but love this dress.

Nian Jiangzhu also liked it very much, "I see that Mrs. Dong may not be able to make such beautiful clothes, Hua'er has a heart." She rewarded Bi'er with a few silver nude seeds, and wrapped a good ginseng, As a thank you gift, I returned to Yan Hua.

After washing, Huazhu lay on the bed tossing and turning, Qiaoer asked through the screen: "Miss, do you have something on your mind?"

Huazhu yawned, thinking of Liao Zicheng's face that was so calm and breezy, she was itching with anger, "Your lady, I'm hanging on the beam and stabbing my ass! Gouging the wall to borrow light! Xiangying Yingxue! Jingwei reclamation!"

Qiao'er swallowed her saliva, she understood the first three idioms, which were roughly exaggerated to describe her diligence in reciting poems, but what happened to the last Jingwei reclamation?Ah, it must be that the young lady feels that there is no limit to learning, even if she perseveres like Jingwei Bird, she still cannot learn all the knowledge in the world.

Unexpectedly, after half a day, Huazhu snorted, "My brain is as deep and wide as the sea. Hundreds of Tang poems fell into it, and they were like stones thrown by Jingwei Bird. I couldn't see them! I can't memorize them." Well? It fell too deep and couldn't get out!"

The corner of Qiaoer's mouth twitched, convinced!

The night was dark and the wind was cold.

Wheels on the cold street, turning bluntly, occasionally echoing in the depths of the alley, between the two walls.

Qibao tightened his cloak, stopped the carriage at the entrance of a clothing store, then jumped off the ground, stepped forward a few steps, and pulled the twisted rope hanging by the door, and a bell rang from the other side of the door.

After a while, an old servant woman opened the dark red door, bent her body and asked loudly, "Who are you looking for?"

Knowing that she was deaf, Qibao leaned close to her ear and said loudly: "I'm looking for Mrs. Dong, is she there?"

The servant woman's facial features were wrinkled, but it was not anger, but the usual confusion of the old man, "Huh? Oh, the boss is not here."

"Where did you go?" Qibao asked.

"I'm going to get a body for the fourth grandma of the Yan family! What can you do with her?"

Qibao took out a list from his pocket, "I ordered a pair of rabbit fur gloves here in the middle of the month, and I'm here to pick them up!"

"Pick up the goods? You should have said it earlier!" The maid took the order, stooped into the store, and came out with a bundle after a while.

Qibao checked it carefully, found no quality problems, turned around and got into the carriage, and handed the gloves into the carriage, "I see that these gloves are not unusual, why do they cost 200 taels of silver? They are so expensive!"

"Langya's Jiangnan Embroidery House is the only one, rare things are more expensive." After finishing the words, there was the sound of turning the pages of a book.
