The Favoured Medical Princess: 424 is difficult to level up
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Under the urging eyes of the maids, Que'er started talking eloquently. According to the descriptions of the maids and women in Xiao Fang's courtyard, the story is roughly like this -
After King Zhennan came out of Xiaofang's house last night, he planned to go to the inner study to rest. Who knew that he happened to see Mingli hiding in there crying and feeling sorry for herself.
When Mingli saw King Zhennan, she naturally wanted to quit and apologized. But when King Zhennan saw Mingli’s pretty appearance, he felt pity for her and asked her if someone had bullied her? Under repeated questioning by the King of Zhennan, Mingli finally revealed the reason. It turned out that Mingli's parents died early, and her brother was the head of the family. Since marrying his sister-in-law, the brother had disliked her as a younger sister and, at the instigation of her sister-in-law, found a wife for her. A wealthy businessman from out of town wanted to sell her to him as a concubine. Tomorrow her sister-in-law would come to Xiao Fang to ask for her kindness and let Mingli go home.
When Mingli thought about leaving her hometown with that vulgar businessman, she couldn't help crying.
The King of Zhennan immediately said that he would make the decision for Mingli and teach her brother and sister-in-law a lesson. Mingli naturally thanked her and fell into the arms of the King of Zhennan by chance... a good thing was accomplished!
Huamei and the others were dumbfounded. Is this okay? ! Even these maids know that Mingli is the second-class maid of Xiao Fang's family and a son of the royal family. If Mingli is not willing to be let out, as long as she talks to Xiao Fang's family, how can her brother and sister-in-law still survive? Can't you force her to do it? Doesn’t King Zhennan understand the truth behind this?
Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup and thought to herself: I’m afraid it’s rare to be confused, right? Anyway, there is the warm fragrance of nephrite to throw myself into my arms!
Quie'er continued: "After the incident, the prince asked his wife to save Mingli's face, but she refused. She made a fuss for half the night, and even said that she would call Yapo and punish Mingli, a slave who betrayed her master. Sold... But the prince didn't agree, and he called Concubine Wei on the spot, and let Concubine Wei take the initiative. After drinking tea, she would be a serious aunt in the palace."
Quie'er hesitated for a moment, then added: "The prince asked Concubine Wei to arrange a new courtyard for Mingli, and also assigned a maid to serve according to the example of my aunt."
Originally, Mingli was a maid in Xiao Fang's house. Even if she got the prince's favor, at most she would be promoted to his wife. Now, the prince directly promoted his aunt, obviously to vent his anger on Xiao Fang.
Moreover, Mrs. Fang is the legitimate wife, but she lets Wei Fangfei, a concubine, show off her face to the maid, which is totally disrespectful.
There are many concubines in the palace, so Xiao Fang probably wouldn’t care about having one more concubine, but Mingli is her maid, and she climbs into bed with her on her back. No mistress would allow this. things happen.
With Xiao Fang's temper, she would naturally make a fuss, but this time, she lost both her wife and her troops!
Nangong Yue used the tea lid to remove the foam, took a sip of hot tea, and her eyes flashed.
It seems that there is a lot of excitement in the palace now.
Since this Mingli dares to climb into bed behind her master’s back, she must not be a peaceful person. As for Xiao Fang, she has always been unlucky and thinks she is unlucky. I am afraid that when Xiao Fang recovers, she will take revenge.
But Nangong Yue didn’t want to get involved in the troubles at the palace. For her, she wished that Xiao Fang's attention would be transferred to King Zhennan's inner residence, so that Xiao Fang would not have to keep staring at their Bixiaotang.
Nangong Yue put down the tea cup and ordered: "Over there at Mingli, just find someone to keep an eye on her quietly. Don't worry too much, she's just an aunt."
Quie'er responded crisply and then retreated.
Nangong Yue took out the "Southern Xinjiang Materia Medica" from the bookshelf and started reading it for an unknown number of times. Although she has already looked for some of the herbs mentioned in the "Southern Xinjiang Materia Medica", there are still many herbs that she has not seen yet. Judging from the introduction in the book, there are some herbs that may be very suitable for tonic for old and weak people like Mrs. Fang...
She might be able to find a way to find out, and then use this to develop some medicated foods to regulate the body. Grandma Yongyang also has a lot of poison, maybe she can also send it to her to heal.
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and read the medicine book attentively.
As soon as she read the book, Nangong Yue fell into a trance. She didn’t know how much time had passed until Huamei came into the room and announced: "Prince Concubine, the eldest girl is here."
Nangong Yue just raised her head from the book and saw a little maid bringing Xiao Fei in. Xiao Fei seemed to be in good spirits today, her cold eyes were full of energy, and her fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of moon. Gorgeous halo.
She was so blessed that she couldn't wait to say: "Sister-in-law, the tea tent has been set up. Do you have time to accompany me to take a look?" During the period when Nangong Yue was away, Xiao Fei did not serve herbal tea. Put the plan aside and arrange this matter carefully and carefully...
Although he was asking, Xiao Fei's eyes were shining, as if to say: Go, go!
Nangong Yue stood up with a smile and said, "Sister Fei, just wait for me here. I'll go change my clothes, and then we'll set off."
Xiao Fei nodded hurriedly.
After burning incense, the two of them left the East Street gate in a simple green-covered carriage.
Xiao Fei's tea shed was placed beside the official road outside the North City Gate. It was less than ten feet away from the city gate. Of course, ordinary vendors were not allowed to set up stalls, but the eldest girl from Zhennan Palace wanted to set up a tea shed here. , and no one dares to say no.
Xiao Fei ordered people to build two simple tea sheds here. Now there are only a few benches inside, which looks very simple and deserted.
After Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei got off the carriage, they walked into the tea shed.
It's almost noon now, the sun is shining, the heat wave is rolling, and the sun will make people's cheeks red in a while.
As soon as the two of them entered the tea shed, they suddenly felt that the sun was not so dazzling and their whole bodies felt much more comfortable. Nangong Yue looked around the two tea sheds. The tea sheds were made of bamboo and covered with bamboo mats. They were indeed a good place to enjoy the cool air.
Nangong Yue nodded and praised: "This craftsman's craftsmanship is good!"
Xiao Fei received Nangong Yue's praise, her smile became brighter, and she said: "Taoyao's uncle recognized a craftsman with good skills, so I invited him to build this tea shed."
Nangong Yue looked around again and couldn't help but start to think that maybe she could also build a small bamboo shed in the small garden for cooling off.
At this moment, a young man walked into the tea shed, supporting a sweaty aunt.
"Grandma, please sit down and rest for a while." The young man nervously helped his aunt sit down on the bench.
The aunt's face didn't look good, and her lips were a little white. She took out a handkerchief, wiped it on her forehead, and then nodded slightly to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei as a greeting.
The boy asked again: "Grandma, what do you think? Are you feeling better?"
The aunt forced a smile and said comfortingly: "Li'er, don't worry. Grandma is fine, just rest for a while." She patted the place beside her and said, "You should also sit down and rest for a while."
She raised her eyes and looked at the bamboo shed and said: "It's getting hot so fast this year... I don't know which kind person built a bamboo shed here to enjoy the coolness and rest. It's a great merit."
Hearing this, Xiao Fei couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment, a little embarrassed, but also a little excited.
Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Fei with a smile, which was considered a good start. She waved to Baihui and said something to her.
While talking, a few passers-by also noticed the tea shed and came over... Seeing that there were more people, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei looked at each other, and walked out of the tea shed to the carriage row hand in hand, and Baihui walked up to the grandfather and grandson.
"Auntie," Baihui smiled politely and handed the other party a small cyan porcelain bottle, "This is a medicine to relieve summer heat. Auntie, you should take one and you will feel much better."
The aunt took the medicine bottle gratefully and sighed that good things come to good people. The young man on the side also hurriedly thanked her, and asked Baihui to thank her master for them.
At this time, Nangong Yue had already got on the carriage first. Xiao Fei, who was following her, couldn't help but look back at the tea shed and saw a few more passers-by sitting in the tea shed. Stop and chat. At first glance, these people looked like ordinary people. They were dressed in commoners and most of them were unkempt. They probably just wanted to spend no money here and have a rest before entering the city.
Seeing how cheerful and smiling they all were, even Xiao Fei was infected and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
Although her tea shed has not officially opened yet, it has already begun to play a small role.
The corners of Xiao Fei's mouth raised higher, revealing a shallow pear dimple on one side.
"Sister-in-law," Xiao Fei sat down next to Nangong Yue and talked about the next plan enthusiastically, "In terms of medicinal materials, Sister Xia and I have almost prepared them. If it is not enough, we can make up for it later. Take it. When I come down, I want to buy some rough porcelain bowls for the tea shed, and then transfer some people from my Yuebiju..."
Nangong Yue thought about it and said, "Sister Fei, I think if this tea shed is going to be open for a long time, it would be better to not use people from the palace as much as possible."
Xiao Fei asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, why?"
Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, thinking about the words and said: "Firstly, the servants in the palace always feel that they are superior to others, and I'm worried that they may look down on people who are asking for tea; secondly, you mobilized the people from Yuebiju to come over , Yue Biju’s side will inevitably be short of manpower. If it’s only for one or two days, that’s it. As time goes by, I’m afraid that Yue Biju’s servants will feel resentful and cause trouble in their lives. In my opinion, it’s better to spend some money. Hiring some women from poor families can be regarded as doing a good deed and killing two birds with one stone."
Xiao Fei nodded thoughtfully and said: "Sister-in-law is right. After I return to the house, I will ask the servants in the house to introduce some people and then screen them... When the tea shed is officially opened, I will send another one. The nuns from the two palaces are here to supervise it." This will also deter the women who are serving as servants, letting them know that this is an errand for the palace and cannot be neglected.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, Xiao Fei was not stupid, she was just unsophisticated in the past, but in fact she still knew how to do it.
People hired from outside don’t know the details. If they are recommended by servants in the mansion, they will know some basics and won’t cause any big trouble.
Nangong Yue patted Xiao Fei's hand and said, "Don't worry, we will do it step by step."
Xiao Fei nodded with a smile, and while the two were talking, Baihui also got on the carriage. Xiao Fei opened the curtain again and looked at the sun outside, and suggested: "Sister-in-law, it's almost noon. Let's go back to the house."
Nangong Yue naturally had no objection.
The coachman shouted, and the carriage started back on its way home again...
I don’t know how many streets I passed, but suddenly there was a noise outside:
"Sister Wang, you are running in such a hurry, where are you rushing to?"
"There's a lot of excitement at the front house again! If you don't go faster, I'm afraid the show will end..."
"Wait for me...I'll take a look with you too!"
"..."
Fang family? ! Nangong Yue thought of something and opened the curtain by the window to take a look. Just around the corner from the street ahead was the house of Fang Chengxun and his son in Luoyue City.
With a look from Nangong Yue, Baihui knew what she meant. She hurriedly went out and gave instructions to the driver, and then the carriage made a temporary turn and stopped on the side of the road.
A few feet ahead is Fangzhai. At this moment, two carriages with green curtains were parked at the gate of Fangzhai. Through the sparse onlookers, Fang Shiyu could be seen arguing with the concierge at the corner door.
"Master Yu, the master, madam and master are really not here." The concierge said sweating profusely, feeling miserable.
Fang Shiyu obviously didn't believe it at all, and said impatiently and coldly: "Since he's not here, let's just go in and wait." He didn't know that the concierge was using this as an excuse. His father, Fang Chengling, is the half-brother of Fang Chengxun, the third master of the house. Even if there is no master in the house for the time being, they can just ask them to go in and wait. There is no reason to block people from entering like they are doing now!
How dare the little concierge stop his master's relatives? Someone clearly ordered him to do this!
The more Fang Shiyu thought about it, the angrier he became. Although it had only been a few days, he had already experienced the harshness of the world.
Nowadays, everyone in Heyucheng is shouting about their family. Before his third uncle Fang Chengxun returned to Luoyue City, he gave the family a small house with two entrances in a small county near Heyucheng. However, such a simple house, How could they get used to living in such a remote county with no money? So Fang Yulan came up with the idea to come to Luoyue City to seek refuge with her third uncle Fang Chengxun. This idea was immediately echoed by the whole family, and they spent all their money. When they came, who knew, the concierge would stop them from entering!
The concierge wiped his sweat and said in a good voice: "Master Yu, Master and Madam are not here, I am just a janitor, how dare you make the decision casually. How about this, Master Yu, you go back today and come back another day ..."
Fang Shiyu felt a surge of anger rushing straight to his forehead, and roared: "Shut up! Do you think this young master is a beggar, and he is still here to beat the autumn wind..."
The concierge looked at Cheng with fear, but he said in his heart: These people have all been exterminated. Today is different from the past. The fourth master's family comes to the door at this time, and they are not just trying to catch the autumn wind!
At this time, an old nun in a beautiful blue plain gown stepped out of the green-curtained carriage next to Fang Shiyu. The nun raised her chin and said arrogantly to the concierge: "Here you go. Burning incense, hurry up and find someone to tell your master and his wife: Our wife said that some things are not the fault of one family. If we are not allowed in... hum, let's see who else will be exterminated. !" Mammy snorted disdainfully, with an obvious threat in her tone.
The concierge wiped his sweat with his sleeves again. Knowing that there must be something hidden behind the scenes, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Yu, why don't you stay here later and try to find a way to find the master and his wife..."
"A stick of incense!" The old nanny only said three words with a sneer.
The people watching around watched the situation take a turn for the worse, and couldn't help but discuss among themselves.
"Sister Wang, I originally looked at this relative who was coming to the door in the autumn wind, but now it looks like he has some skills!" A young woman pulled the person next to her.
The middle-aged woman known as Sister Wang hurriedly said: "Listen to what she said about extermination of the clan. Could it be that this family was exterminated by the Fang family?"
"Extermination?!" An old woman on the side couldn't help but raise her voice slightly, looking at Fang Shiyu and his group with eyes full of contempt, "Those who are exterminated must have bad morals!"
"Listen to this old lady, does Mr. Fang have something in someone else's hands?" the young woman asked again.
"I think so." Sister Wang nodded frequently and showed off, "A few days ago, wasn't there a man who came here to say that Young Master Fang has always been in trouble but has always given up? It seems that this Fang House is indeed harboring filth. What a land!"
"Sister Wang, you have also heard about this!" the young woman said with bright eyes, "I was there that day..."
The people around him became more and more lively as they talked, and the concierge could be heard getting restless. If the stalemate continued, he might attract more people.
Fortunately, a nun came in a hurry and said with a breathless smile: "Isn't this Master Yu?" Then she glared at the concierge and said, "Master Yu is here, why don't you Tell me! Although the master and his wife happen to be away, we can’t let Master Yu just wait at the door!"
The concierge had no choice but to suffer this loss and apologized in a row.
Fang Shiyu sneered as he watched them singing harmony, lifted his robes and went in. The concierge opened the door and welcomed the carriage into the house...
In the carriage not far away, Nangong Yue put down the curtains in her hands, and after giving instructions to Baihui, the coachman continued to drive the carriage forward, speeding past Fang Zhai.
Xiao Fei's face was full of complexity. After hesitating for a moment, she still lifted the curtain and glanced at the door of Fang's house. She happened to catch a glimpse of Fang Shiyu's back, and her heart was ups and downs.
She bit her lower lip and said in a voice as light as a mosquito: "Sister-in-law, grandpa..." Xiao Fei is the stepdaughter, and Mrs. Fang is the biological father of the Dafang family, so Xiao Fei also needs to be called Fang. The old man is his maternal grandfather.
She took a deep breath and said in one breath: "Does my grandfather's matter have anything to do with my mother..." Her fists were clenched tightly, and her voice became softer and softer, until it almost disappeared in the air.
Actually, Xiao Fei had vague suspicions in her heart, but she never dared to think about it... She vaguely realized that the truth would be an answer she couldn't bear...
Until now, she could no longer avoid this possibility.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei carefully, and did not answer her question directly, but said meaningfully: "Sister Fei, do you still remember what I said to you before? All other people's remarks, It's far inferior to seeing and experiencing it with your own eyes... I believe that with your intelligence, you will definitely find the answer."
Xiao Fei lowered her eyes and said no more.
The carriage became quiet, only the sound of horse hooves, the sound of wheels, and the noise outside were heard.
The carriage entered through the East Street gate of the palace again. After Xiao Fei got off the carriage, she said goodbye to Nangong Yue and returned to the palace through the side door, feeling a little dazed.
Unconsciously, she arrived at the door of the main courtyard.
Xiao Fei slowed down hesitantly. She wanted to ask, but was afraid to explore the truth.
In the past, she only knew music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and thought that the world was peaceful. The biggest bad thing she had ever encountered in her life was that her eldest brother got entangled with a bunch of dandies and went out to fight. The whole Luoyue City mansion came to complain to the father.
She never imagined that in this world, someone would kill his father for property, and that person was her biological uncle, and even her mother seemed to be inseparable from him...
Xiao Fei felt that her feet were very heavy, too heavy to take this step...
At this moment, a little maid came up to her enthusiastically: "I've seen a big girl!"
After curtsying and saluting, the little maid said eagerly: "Miss, Madam was thinking of you, and you came just in time. As expected, mother and daughter are connected!" The little maid could not wait to see Xiao Fei. Take him in. Since last night, Little Fang has been like a firecracker, losing her temper at every turn. Anyone in the yard who has come into her eyes has basically been punished.
At this time, the only people who could comfort Xiao Fang were King Zhennan and her children.
The King of Zhennan was still angry because of Xiao Fang's lack of cooperation. Xiao Luan had gone out early in the morning, and all they could count on was the eldest girl Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing what the little maid said, she simply gritted her teeth and followed her into the house.
