National color medical concubine

Chapter 38 The Feast of Flowers

Rong Yan did not return home with Xie Qiao.

When Xie Qiao came back, the foster mother Zhu had invited for her was already waiting in Chonghua Building.

Nanny Gao was dressed in red and green, with a few silver hairpins inserted obliquely in her meticulous hair bun, which was quite decent.Sitting on the main seat, holding hot tea in his hand, he said: "From now on, I will be your nurturing mother, and I will start learning etiquette and rules from tomorrow."

Xie Qiao frowned, and Chun Yu hurriedly said: "Nurse Gao came out of the palace. She used to be the foster nun of my aunt. After my aunt married to Nanling, the old lady specially invited Nanny Gao to teach you."

Nanny Gao raised her face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of arrogance.Not intending to talk to her, he patted his skirt and got up and walked towards the inner room of the side room.

But Xie Qiao told Chun Yu, "Clean up the yard next door, and Nurse Gao will live there."

Grandma Gao's complexion changed slightly, she stood at the door of the side room, and was about to speak when she heard Xie Qiao continue: "Even if you are my foster mother, no matter what you did or who you served before, you are still a slave after all. But master. You are invited by the old lady, and you are an old man who came out of the palace. I am afraid that you understand the rules better than me, and you also respect the rules!"

Gao Nanny originally wanted to show off Xie Qiao, but she didn't expect to get a head start in Xie Qiao's hands!His face was blue and red, but he was blocked and couldn't say a word.

Xie Qiao's eyes turned slightly, and he said with a smile: "Of course, the high mother can't be compared with the ignorant servants, and the self-cultivation must be superior. Now that you are my nurturing mother, I will respect you a little bit."

The implication is that while giving you a bit of decency and respect, you must also abide by your duties!

Nanny Gao almost snorted from her nostrils, her teeth were so sharp!

No wonder Mrs. Zhu hastily invited her here!
Nanny Gao sneered: "Miss, what you said is absolutely right. I'm afraid I can't teach you how to behave and manners." With a cold face, she left angrily with a flick of her sleeves.

After a while, Hongzao came to invite Xie Qiao to Fushoutang.

Xie Qiao ignored it.

Carrying the medicine box, he went to Tingfeng Pavilion to treat Rong Sheng.

When Liu Shi saw Xie Qiao, she shed tears before saying a word, held her hand tightly, and said with a choked voice: "Brother Sheng... He can hear me, he is crying! He is crying!"

Xie Qiao was overjoyed, if Rong Sheng could hear the sound from the outside world, then his brain was not seriously damaged.After checking it, he comforted him: "It's a good sign if he reacts. You continue to talk to him and stimulate him. Given time, he will surely wake up."

Whether he can wake up, Xie Qiao is not very sure, it can only depend on his own good luck.

Liu Shi nodded tearfully.

After Xie Qiao gave Rong Sheng the needle, he ordered Liu Shi to let the servant massage Rong Sheng's limbs every day.

Mrs. Liu sent Xie Qiao outside, intending to apologize, but it was hard to say.

After a long time, he said, "You are now assisting me in managing general affairs. These days, because of the birth of my brother, you have not been assigned as a director. Zhuangzi in the mansion send out the account books once a quarter, and the account books have been delivered two days ago. Take it to me. If you are free tomorrow, come to my room and I will teach you how to read the account book."

Xie Qiao should go down.

On the second day, Xie Qiao came to follow Liu Shi to read the account book as promised, and Liu Shi taught him with all his heart.Mrs. Zhu sent people to call several times, but they were all dismissed by Xie Qiao because he had no time to spare.The next day, Rong Yan also came to learn to read the account books with Liu Shi.

How could Mrs. Liu not know what Mrs. Wei was thinking?Rong Yan learned how to be a housekeeper by her side since she was a child, how could she not even read the mere ledger?
She sneered in her heart and didn't point it out, it just depends on what she wants to do!

Rong Yan, however, did her best, humbly asked Mrs. Liu for advice on what she didn't understand, and no trouble arose.

On this day, it was the White Flower Banquet in the Anyuanhou Mansion.

The Da Furen specially ordered Xie Qiao to dress up well and go to Anyuanhou's Mansion together.

Mingxiu frowned and said: "Miss, Madam Gao is also going to Anyuanhou Mansion together." After finishing speaking, she looked at Xie Qiao at the side.

Xie Qiao's black hair was tied behind his head, revealing his delicate eyebrows and fair face.Sitting gracefully on the big welcoming pillow, the plain white gauze skirt was spread out casually, and the white orchids embroidered with silver thread bloomed like a fresh one, making her whole body extraordinarily quiet and elegant.

Xie Qiao's eyes were cold, he fondled the layered gauze skirts on his body, and said casually: "Nurse Gao used to be the foster mother of the concubine of the Anyuan Hou's Mansion, and it's not wrong for her to go back to Beijing to attend the banquet at the Anyuan Hou's Mansion." Strange thing."

Mingxiu was afraid that Xie Qiao would be humiliated by Nanny Gao, so she held a grudge in her heart and slandered her in front of all the wives!

Xie Qiao saw through Mingxiu's mind, and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of, just see what's going on."

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Anyuanhou's mansion, the eldest lady was already at the gate, seeing Zhu Shi and others coming up with a smile, and ordered the maid beside her to lead them in.

The wives of all the prefectures have almost arrived, and they are all sitting in Shi'an Pavilion.

Mrs. Zhu exchanged pleasantries with Mrs. Anyuan Hou, and the ladies of each mansion looked at Xie Qiao inquiringly.Although I have seen it in the palace, I haven't observed it carefully.

Some wives looked at her elegant and beautiful, and wanted to get to know her better, to see if they could form a family with children.But when she thought of her grandfather, she couldn't help shaking her head.

Old Madam An Yuanhou looked at Nanny Gao with a smile and said, "I thought you would never come to Beijing again, but I never expected to see you again."

Nanny Gao glanced at Xie Qiao, and said with emotion: "I never thought that I would come back one day. The climate in Nanling is pleasant and suitable for retirement. My aunt heard that her niece found her home, and she missed her when she reached the age of marriage." , I’ve been away for many years and I’m afraid I won’t be able to adapt to life in central Beijing. Begging me to take care of one or two...” At this point, the smile on Gao Nanny’s face was a bit far-fetched: “I thought I would stay for a year and a half, but now it seems unnecessary, After seeing you, I will set off for Nanling."

Madam An Yuanhou frowned, she had always understood Gao Nanny's disposition.Either the girl's family is very well-bred, or she is stubborn and uneducable, and on the other hand, she is not needed.If the former, Nanny Gao would be full of praise, why would she look gloomy?
Ladies and gentlemen are all human beings, why don't you understand what Gao Nanny means?
The idea of ​​getting married was all dispelled.

Xie Qiao was belatedly aware, and looked blankly at Nanny Gao: "Aren't you going to stay? The second aunt taught me to read the account books these days, so I didn't learn etiquette from you." After a pause, Xie Qiao seemed to remember Why, he said anxiously: "Is it because I didn't agree with you to live in the inner room of the side room, so I offended you? If so, I will ask people to move out all my mother's belongings and put them in the place I packed for you. In the attic, make room for you."

Gao Momo's face was livid: "Miss, don't let your old age break!"

Xie Qiao shook his head in a hurry: "You are the person my aunt specially invited to teach me, and you are also an old man who came out of the palace. You know the etiquette rules the most. I respect you in my heart. I'm just afraid that I may not do something properly and cause you to misunderstand .”

Everyone looked at Xie Qiao's low profile, panic flashed in their clear eyes, and for a while, they also had some secrets in their hearts.

I'm afraid Gao Nanny is bullying Xie Qiao because of her status?
At this time Rong Yan came out to smooth things over and said: "Nurse Gao, Eldest Sister has a straightforward temper, so you don't care about her." After finishing speaking, she leaned forward and said to Mrs. Anyuan Hou: "We, the younger generation, will go find the elder sisters to be stubborn."

Madam An Yuanhou waved her hand to signal them to leave.

Walking out of the Shi'an Courtyard, Rong Yan asked: "Go to Qingfeng Pavilion to enjoy the flowers together?"

Xie Qiao shook his head: "I'll walk around as I please."

Rong Yan didn't force it: "I saw a few camellias planted in your yard. There are two specialties in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion. One is the large area of ​​medicinal plants in the North Courtyard, and the second one is the camellias in the Northwest Courtyard. If you are bored It's tight, you can go and see the camellia."

Xie Qiao nodded, and when Rong Yan was far away, he asked the maid who followed them how to get to the North Courtyard.

The servant girl took Xie Qiao to the North Courtyard, and there was indeed a huge medicine puddle.Before approaching a scent of herbs, Xie Qiao couldn't help but push open the fence and walk in.His footsteps stopped suddenly, and he looked straight at the two children about three or four years old not far away.

To her amazement, their bodies were joined together!
