foster husband

Chapter 12 Tan Qing Boards the Thief Ship

Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Fang waited for a long time, but no matter how they thought about it, they never expected that the news that Mrs. Chu was pregnant and needed to keep the baby came.

Is there such a coincidence?It must have been designed.

The old lady Pei didn't care about getting angry, she looked at Fang Shi, pondered for a moment and said, "You send someone to see that doctor tomorrow."

Fang also thought for a moment before saying: "Don't bother, my wife has an idea."

"You said."

"Aren't the younger siblings in the midst of confinement? I guess Doctor Tan will come to the door in a few days. I'll have someone guard the door and ask the doctor to see my mother first."

"What if the third child comes to obstruct it?"

"Doesn't that just show that he has a ghost in his heart. When the mother makes things worse, the men, women and children in Luoyang City will all see how difficult it is for the mother. Even the emperor will definitely hear the news."

Fang's words touched the heart of the old lady, thinking that when she asked for the seal for the second child, the emperor did not like it, and even the second child was not liked by the emperor. There are no idle jobs.If he can do this well this time, maybe he can find a job for the second child.

The plan was established, and the old lady rarely found fault. She not only gave a hundred-year-old ginseng, but also specifically avoided the Chu family's greetings every morning.

Chu's heart, which was still tangled, became more and more weak because of the happy event of not having to see the old lady every day.

After thinking about it, her husband is really treating her well by doing this.

Seven days later, Mrs. Pei got an official letter from the concierge, saying that Dongqing had ordered Pei Tianshu to visit West Lane and invite Dr. Tan.

As I said earlier, Dr. Tan is honest, but not stupid.

He has been inquiring about Pei's family ever since he went back to Jianxinhou's Mansion.

He has been operating in Luoyang City for decades, and there are many rich and powerful families among his regular customers.

Among them is the Chengxin Bo's house on Guiping Street with Jianxinhou's Mansion.

Uncle Chengxin, surnamed Liu and named Tong, was originally a lieutenant of Pei Tianshu's older brother Pei Tiancheng.

As usual, Dr. Tan would go to the uncle's house to ask for a peace pulse once a month. This time he came to the door two days in advance. Mrs. Cheng Chengxin, Mrs. Xiao, was not suspicious, and called her son and daughter as usual, and lined up according to age. I asked Dr. Tan to check the pulse one by one.

Look, this is like the family tradition of a general.

Mrs. Uncle Xiao's husband is not only a military general, her father, her brother, and her brothers are also military generals. Let's put it this way, as long as her family has a breed, they are either military generals or are on the way to become military generals.

She is a well-known straightforward person in Luoyang's ladies' circle, and her husband has been bestowed with the title of honesty, which is probably a recognition of their family's temperament.

Therefore, when talking about family matters with Dr. Tan, when he heard him unintentionally mention Jianxin Hou's family, Xiao's face was full of contempt and disdain, and he didn't even want to hide it for a while, and then told him happily for half an afternoon. gossip.

From Jianxinhou Pei Tianheng's inexplicable attack on the title to Pei Tianshu's intentional retreat, he bluntly said that "the one with the same family" declined the emperor's award.

From when the Chu family first entered the house and was made things difficult by her mother-in-law for half a month, she couldn't see her husband, and then her mother-in-law almost starved to death of her own granddaughter.

Anyway, if you listen to Xiao's words, there is no good person in Jianxin Hou's Mansion except Sanfang.

The mother-in-law is insidious, Master Hou is incompetent, and Mrs. Hou is cunning.

The evaluation of the third master is that he understands righteousness, is brave and resourceful.

In fact, it's no wonder that Xiao Shi would say this, Liu Tong followed Pei Tiancheng to conquer the world, so he naturally knew Pei Tianshu's ability.

As for Pei Tianheng, not many people had noticed the existence of such a person in the Pei family before he became a prince.

What's more, Xiao's family and Fang's family have a little quarrel.

Mrs. Xiao didn't like this Mrs. Hou who came out of nowhere, but her man was mixed with Pei Tiancheng after all. Even though Jianxinhou's position was changed, the surname was still Pei.

But since that time when she suppressed her temper and flirted with Mrs. Fang and was left out in the cold, she began to look down on her even more.

It is said that Dr. Tan maintained a skeptical attitude towards Xiao Shi's words, but he did not show it on the face, and chatted with Xiao Shi about other things, and left.Turning around, he went to the house of Mr. Gao Bingguang Gao, the censor Zhongcheng in the alley behind Guiping Street, and then heard a recent incident from Mrs. Gao.

Pei Tianshu's daughter Hanshou Wengzhu never sent invitations to any family during her first birthday, not even Wengzhu's natal family.

This shows that at first the Pei family didn't think about making a big deal, it was because of today's temporary grant that they had no choice but to open the door of the house to welcome guests from all directions.

Then someone said that the old Lord Feng of Jianxinhou's Mansion didn't like this granddaughter, and Dr. Tan already knew the reason for his dislike from Chengxinbo's Mansion, so there is no need to elaborate.Therefore, he didn't want to hold a birthday party for his granddaughter at all, and even the emperor couldn't see it, so he bestowed the title of Lord Hanshou.

Someone else said that it was Pei Tianshu who didn't like what the old lady Pei did, so he went into the palace with the cheek to ask the emperor to grant him a seal.

In a word, Jianxin Hou's Mansion is not monolithic, and the family members are having a lot of trouble with each other.

This time, Dr. Tan was completely determined to join Pei Tianshu's thief ship.Without him, Mr. Gao is the censor Zhongcheng who oversees all officials, so what Mrs. Gao said is naturally very fair.

Furthermore, Dr. Tan also hid an unknown sad thing in his heart.

Dr. Tan, surnamed Tan, the brackets are not nonsense this time.

In fact, his surname was not Tan at first, and he didn't even know what his surname was.

Old Doctor Tan, Doctor Tan's father, has a whole body of good skills, but he still can't cure his own chronic illness - infertility. At the age of 30, regardless of the old lady Tan Guquan's proposal to borrow seeds, he adopted an orphan with good qualifications and named him Tan Qing.This is Dr. Tan now.

Old Doctor Tan had nothing to say to him, not only passed on his medical skills, but also passed on his lifelong family fortune to him.As for Mrs. Tan, she was extremely harsh on him, and he suffered a lot because of this when he was young.Once old doctor Tan went to the mountains to buy medicinal materials, and the old lady Tan almost killed him.

Therefore, Dr. Tan had an illusion that Pei Tianshu was connected with his fate, and added that he wanted something from him.So, this time he came to ask for pulse, he was very active.

Unexpectedly, just after he entered the gate of Jianxinhou's Mansion, there was a woman and a servant blocking his way.

"I think this is Dr. Tan, Mrs. Hou invites you to go to Fushou Hall and ask for the pulse of our old lady."

Dong Qing, who was following Dr. Tan, said anxiously: "Mother Qiao, the third lady has a severe stomachache. Can you wait for Dr. Tan to finish seeing the third lady before going to Fushou Hall."

When Qiao's mother heard it, she was secretly delighted, and her face remained calm: "That's what to do, our old lady has fainted."

Knowing that she was telling a lie, Dong Qing couldn't just say that she fainted and let the old lady faint for a while.He is not the third master, so he can't say such a thing.He could only watch helplessly as Qiao's mother "robbed" Dr. Tan.

Here, Dr. Tan entered the Fushou Hall and saw that the "fainted" old lady Pei was drinking tea, with a three-point smile on her face, and she understood the purpose of inviting herself here.

On the side, there is Mrs. Hou Fang's company.Doctor Tan respectfully saluted the two of them.

Fang didn't say a word, but directly asked her confidant girl Qiao'an to offer a heavy bag with both hands.

Dr. Tan felt that he had been insulted. He had seen rich people buy people, but he had never seen such shameless bribes.In this way, I feel that Pei Tianshu is a good person.

The so-called match what one likes, or Mr. Pei's choice is more accurate.

Dr. Tan said righteously: "Ma'am, what are you doing? Mr. Tan never treated the old lady, why is he offering the consultation money now?"

Fang felt that he was hypocritical, anyway, she didn't really expect to get something out of his mouth, so she said: "These gold, I buy you a word, when the old lady asks, you just say yes or no."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the old lady.

The old lady understood, put down the teacup, and said in a deep voice: "I am not afraid of family ugliness, my third son and third daughter-in-law are not filial. A few days ago, my third son was mad at me, and my third daughter-in-law didn't want to come. The sickness, coaxing the old man to say that he was pregnant. The old man wanted to bear with it and not mention it, but then he thought about it, what kind of children would he teach with the character of the third daughter-in-law. What's more, the old man Although the third son was a fool before he married a wife, at least he never dared to be unfilial to his old man. Since he married the Chu family... well, let’s not talk about it. Therefore, my old man is going to open the ancestral hall and begs Dr. Tan to stand up and testify against me The third daughter-in-law, give my Pei family peace."

This is a rhetoric that Mrs. Pei had arranged with Fang in advance, and what she said was smooth and neat.With gold in one hand and reason in the other, Mrs. Pei has a good plan.

On the other side, the Fang family showed off the prestige of Mrs. Hou Ye at the right time.

"Do you think you will hide it if you don't tell it? Do you think you are the only doctor in the world? It's just that our old lady is kind and wants to give you a chance. You know, if our Jianxinhou's mansion exposes this matter... ..."

This is a blatant threat.

Dr. Tan suddenly remembered the old lady Tan who had passed away. He clenched his fists tightly, and his sensitive hands, which had been touched by countless people, were so angry that they lost consciousness.

The honest man Tan Qing's blood was aroused, and he looked directly at the old lady Pei: "The tiger's poison doesn't eat children, Tan doesn't know how the old lady is so cruel, she wants to force her daughter-in-law to death, and there is something inside the daughter-in-law's belly." no grandson born."

Tan Qing was more ruthless than Pei Tianshu, and directly defined the child that Chu's womb would never have as the eldest grandson of the third bedroom of the Pei family.

Jiarong, who came to report the news, happened to be at the door, and when he heard this, his feet slipped and he knocked his head on the threshold.

Then, ignoring everyone's astonishment, she raised her bloody head and cried, "Old lady, the third master's son is gone."
