www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Nangong Yue half-closed her eyes. The Aunt Ye in front of her reminded her of some past events.
Compared to Ye Yinming and Ye Yili, Aunt Ye was not very smart, so she borrowed usury money from Kaiyuan Pawnshop, leaving her family destitute and almost losing her family... That's when she met herself by chance.
At first, Aunt Ye listened to her words and went to the government to beat drums and complain about her grievances. Only then did Xiao Fang's occupation of Xiao Yi's family property become public...
This can be regarded as a bit of fate between them.
Nangong Yue ordered: "Quie'er, please have Aunt Ye sent to Zhuangzi where Auntie Ye is, and then beat the manager of that Zhuangzi, don't do anything wrong at will." At least you can get enough food and clothing in Zhuangzi, It was better than begging on the street, and that was all she could do.
Quie'er and the two accompanying women took Aunt Ye away, while Nangong Yue and his carriage continued to drive towards Zhenbaoxuan.
The carriage quickly returned to its original harmonious atmosphere. The affairs of the Ye family did not affect Nangong Yue's good mood. After all, the Ye family were just one or two passers-by in her life.
This time, the carriage drove smoothly to the front of Zhenbaoxuan.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei got off the carriage first, followed by two guards who carried Old Mrs. Fang down with his wheelchair and his companions.
The waiters who come to welcome guests are used to meeting dignitaries. One look at the clothes of Nangong Yue and the other three, as well as the two rich and powerful guards, and they know that this group of people is definitely a distinguished guest with some background.
The man nodded and bowed and greeted: "This old man, his wife, and the girl have a VIP room at the back. Please come with me." The man led the way and welcomed them in.
At this time, another black flat-top carriage arrived at the door of Zhenbaoxuan. Baihui glanced back subconsciously, was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward, lowered her voice and whispered in Nangong Yue's ear. He said: "The Crown Princess is the Fang family's carriage."
This is a coincidence. Nangong Yue frowned, pursed her lips silently, and followed the waiter through the lobby.
Outside Zhenbaoxuan, after the black flat-top carriage stopped, a nanny and a little maid got out first, and then they helped a slender and beautiful middle-aged woman. She was the only one who saw her. Wearing a bright red five-bat holding cloud jacket, a round bun, and a bright red gold hairpin, she looked graceful and luxurious.
People who didn't know it looked at it and thought it was a noble lady from some family.
"Auntie, the road is a bit slippery, please be careful." The little maid warned carefully.
This beautiful middle-aged woman is Aunt Niu of the Fang family.
The waiter who came to greet the guests froze for a moment. He originally planned to invite them to the VIP room, but he didn't expect that the lady was just a concubine, so he changed his mind temporarily.
"Madam, please come this way." The waiter still had a smile on his face and greeted them to the counter in the lobby.
Aunt Niu frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction at the corner of her mouth. On weekdays, when she was in her hometown, the shopkeeper of any jewelry shop would not personally welcome her to the VIP room.
The grandma also looked unhappy. At this time, the clerk had already taken out a large box of jewelry from the counter and said with a smile: "Madam, our Zhenbaoxuan is the best jewelry store in the entire southern Xinjiang. , our Master Wang is famous for his jewelry. Even the Prince of Zhennan often comes to us to buy jewelry... Look, are all the pieces of jewelry high-quality?"
Zhennan Palace... Aunt Niu's attention was diverted upon hearing this, and her eyes fell on the box and placed on the pieces of jewelry, a white jade hairpin with eight treasure clusters, a white jade hairpin inlaid with red coral beads, a double-knot Ruyi hairpin, and a silk-wrapped hairpin. Dotted with emerald gold steps, red gold silk bracelets... pearls and jewels, sparkling and translucent.
The craftsmanship is indeed good.
Aunt Niu casually picked up a golden red gold phoenix hairpin with a huge pearl in its mouth. Even compared to the masters in Jiangnan, this craftsmanship is not bad. It seems that this guy is not completely boasting when he says they are the best jewelry store in southern Xinjiang.
As soon as the clerk saw her expression, he knew something was up. He smiled and said, "Madam, take a look, these are the latest styles. If you have any favorite styles, we can also customize them for you."
Aunt Niu occasionally got a few drawings of jewelry on hand. It is said that they are the latest styles from Jiangnan. She originally planned to come here and let the master make a dress as usual, but now the jewelry in the Zhenbaoxuan looks good. Suddenly he changed his mind.
She turned the red phoenix hairpin in her hand slightly, watching and playing with it carefully.
The aunt on the side has served Aunt Niu for many years, but her thoughts are still unclear. Her eyes flickered a little, and her face sighed with a little regret: "Aunt, I see that this Danfeng hairpin is perfect in every aspect." Okay, it’s just a little bit worse..."
The guy's face suddenly looked unpleasant and he held back his sarcastic words.
Aunt Niu raised her eyebrows suspiciously and looked at the nanny. She pointed to the pearl in Danfeng's mouth and reminded: "Auntie, don't you have an eastern pearl?"
Dongzhu? ! The waiter couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. Although they specialize in making jewelry, they have never seen Dongzhu. All I know is that Dongzhu is precious, priceless, and a symbol of status. This old aunt can actually get Dongzhu. Which aunt is she from?
The clerk immediately smiled and said enthusiastically: "Madam, our Zhenbaoxuan can also modify jewelry for customers. Madam, would you like to give it a try?"
Aunt Niu's heart moved. She looked at the boy for a while, and then looked at the Danfeng hairpin in her hand again, her eyes sparkling. Yes, wouldn’t it be even better if the eastern pearl was embedded in this hairpin?
Aunt Niu made up her mind and readily handed over the deposit.
She was about to greet her mother to leave when she heard the sound of curtain lifting. She saw another waiter opened a Xiang Fei bamboo curtain, bowed and led two elegant ladies out. One of the ladies He glanced at Aunt Niu lightly, continued talking to the people around him, and left Zhenbaoxuan.
The two ladies should have come out of the VIP room at the back. Aunt Niu gritted her teeth secretly, feeling displeased. She squinted her eyes and stared at the Xiang Fei bamboo curtain for a while, and then gave the waiter a hard look. That look seemed to say, dog eyes look down on people!
"Huh!" She flicked her sleeves and left Zhenbaoxuan in an unhappy mood.
On the other side of Xiang Fei's bamboo curtain, in one of the VIP rooms, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei have just chosen their hair and noodle, a set of red gold noodle with gems and pearls and a set of silver lotus and silk noodle inlaid with white jade, beautiful and exquisite.
The two girls couldn't put it down, but Mr. Fang was a little disgusted. Looking at the lotus silver silk hair inlaid with white jade, he faced Xiao Fei and said: "Sister Fei, your choice of hair and face is too plain. You guys Young girls should dress more brightly..."
Hearing Mrs. Fang’s tone, the clerk immediately said smartly: “Old Mrs., our Master Wang has recently designed a few new drawings, but the jewelry has not been finished yet. Or, please bring it to show them. ?"
"Then bring it to us to see." Old Mrs. Fang said.
Before Xiao Fei had time to stop him, the man had already responded flexibly.
Looking at Xiao Fei's hesitant expression, Mr. Fang seemed to have thought of something, and said with emotion: "When your mother-in-law was a girl, she liked to make all kinds of jewelry, but these are the ones you chose. It's much brighter..." As he said that, he looked at Nangong Yue again, "Yue'er, I remember that there was a set of gem-studded emerald red gold hair and face in He Yucheng's old house. It used to be your mother's favorite. I'll go Send someone to send..." Mr. Fang originally wanted to send someone to send the set of gem-studded emerald gold hair and face to Luoyue City, but he frowned slightly and stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence.
He changed his words and said: "Forget it, they are all old things." His eyes were half lowered, and a dim color flashed in his eyes. He Yucheng's old house has been occupied by others for more than ten years. I am afraid that my daughter's head and face have been used by others.
Nangong Yue kept looking at Mr. Fang and naturally guessed the reason for his temporary change of words.
With a thought in her mind, she said with a smile: "Grandpa, do you still remember what my mother-in-law's jewelry looks like? Why don't you draw it, and I'll ask the master to make a similar set and wear it for you to see. What do you think?" ”
Mr. Fang knew that his grandson and daughter-in-law were teasing him, so he smiled and agreed.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the guy from before came back with a few drawings and respectfully delivered them to Mr. Fang.
While taking the drawings, Mrs. Fang said: "Man, can I borrow a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"
Although the waiter was confused, he did not question the distinguished guest's request. He quickly went to get pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and diligently helped Mr. Fang grind ink and lay paper.
Mr. Fang started painting on the spot. At first, the pen was a little jerky. Gradually, he painted faster and faster, and the movement of the pen tip became smoother and smoother. The green phoenix hairpins were drawn vividly, and then the supporting points and points were drawn. Heart, temples covered...
After spending nearly half an hour, he finally finished the drawings of the head and face, and happily ordered the clerk to make a set, and then selected a pair of rubies for Xiao Fei from the pile of drawings sent by the clerk. Huang Jin was exhausted and paid the bill readily.
In this way, he felt satisfied and refreshed, and left Zhenbaoxuan with Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei.
After coming out of Zhenbaoxuan, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei took Mrs. Fang to Zhuli Zhai to pick out some chess books, and then chose a teahouse to sit for a while. When it was almost noon, they got on the carriage again. Driving back to Zhennan Palace in a leisurely way.
When the carriage turned into the street where the palace is located, there was suddenly a fierce sound of horse hooves from behind, "tap, tap, tap..." getting louder and louder, and gradually, an almost roaring voice followed: "Good news ! Good news ahead!"
Nangong Yue subconsciously glanced at each other with Mrs. Fang, knowing full well that the news of Xiao Yi's victory must have come.
Xiao Fei eagerly grabbed Nangong Yue's hand and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, did eldest brother win the battle?... It must be so. Great!"
Nangong Yue responded with a bright smile.
The soldier gradually moved away, still shouting repeatedly. Even his hoarse voice could not hide his excitement. He came from the city gate, shouting all the way, and of course the people along the way heard it, and everyone was excited.
The people also rushed to tell each other, shouting everywhere: "Good news ahead! The Crown Prince has recovered Yanding City and Yongjia City!"
The memory of the Nanliang spies sneaking into Luoyue City a few days ago is still fresh in the minds of many people. There are even many rumors spreading in the city. Some say that a large number of Nanliang spies have already been lurking in the city; Some said that there had been no battle reports from the front, whether the prince had been defeated; others said that Huiling City had fallen... Now the joy of the great victory ahead had finally swept away all these doubts.
The news spread throughout Luoyue City like a gust of wind, and the whole city was jubilant. Many people lit firecrackers on the streets to celebrate! The whole city is immersed in the joy of victory...
Everyone in the Zhennan Palace was overjoyed. As soon as the imperial concubine received the good news, she rewarded everyone with a silver nugget worth one or two weights, and also made each of them an autumn dress.
Throughout the whole day, the slaves in the He Mansion were beaming with joy. They could not suppress the smiles on their lips, and they seemed to be floating when they walked.
Not only the slaves were in a happy mood, but so was King Zhennan.
With this good news, the huge stone that King Zhennan had been weighing on his heart for many days has finally fallen!
Several things happened in succession before, which made him seem a little shorter in front of Guan Yubai.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi, the rebellious son, is still up to his standards. The good news this time finally makes him proud and saves some face in front of Guan Yubai!
The King of Zhennan took a sip of aged Pu'er tea. The refreshing aroma of the tea filled his mouth, making him feel refreshed.
As soon as he put down the tea cup, the maid Platycodon grandiflorum came in and reported: "Your Majesty, my aunt is here."
The aunt is of course referring to Mrs. Qiao.
Hearing this, King Zhennan couldn't help but frown slightly, and his original good mood suddenly weakened a bit.
His eldest sister has always been up to no good when she comes to the palace to look for him recently, and she doesn’t know what will happen this time!
King Zhennan sighed secretly, but Mrs. Qiao was his sister after all, so he could only say helplessly: "Invite people in."
Platycodon couldn't hear the impatience in King Zhennan's tone, but he could only pretend not to know, and quickly led Mrs. Qiao in. Mrs. Qiao wore a large red gold embossed flower gown, a neat bun, and a red gold hairpin. She looked elegant and luxurious.
She had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Brother, I just heard that A Yi won the battle at the front." After Mrs. Qiao sat down on the armchair by the window, she congratulated King Zhennan with a smile, "A Yi is worthy of our pride. The blood of the family, brave and resourceful, really resembles the demeanor of his father..." As she said that, Mrs. Qiao showed a bit of nostalgia on her face, completely unaware that King Zhennan's expression froze.
King Zhennan picked up the tea cup again and took a sip of hot tea, hiding his subtle expression.
After finishing her polite remarks, Mrs. Qiao couldn't wait to get to the point and said, "Brother, I came to you today because I have one more thing to ask for your help."
King Zhennan’s face almost tensed up. Sure enough, he, the eldest sister, always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.
He casually put the tea cup back on the desk and asked, "Sister, what do you want me to do?"
"Second brother," Mrs. Qiao said with a smile, "Didn't Ayi win the battle? I just wanted to send Brother Yu to Huiling City to practice." The implication is that He wanted King Zhennan to send Qiao Shenyu to Huiling City to achieve military success.
Qiao Shenyu? ! King Zhennan's expression turned even uglier. He originally had a good impression of Qiao Shenyu, his nephew. That's why a few months ago, he gave Qiao Shenyu the good job of going to the southwest border to appease the people. However, Qiao Shenyu didn't appreciate it. He was afraid of hardship and tiredness, and even pretended to be sick to make himself embarrassed in front of Xiao Yi. face.
This time, if Qiao Shenyu is allowed to go to Huiling City, who knows what he will do to embarrass himself.
I have already been stupid once, how could I ask for trouble again!
Thinking of this, King Zhennan shook his head without hesitation and said: "Sister, this can't happen!"
Mrs. Qiao stared in disbelief. She did not ask Brother Yu to seize military merit, nor did she ask Zhennan King to directly make him a general. She just borrowed the name to practice and mix. Just a qualification.
"Brother, why can't such a simple thing be done?" Mrs. Qiao subconsciously raised her voice, her voice was a bit sharp.
"There's still a war going on over there in Huiling City. How can Luoyue City be safe?" King Zhennan said calmly, with a hint of less obvious sarcasm in his tone.
Mrs. Qiao disagreed in her heart. The good news has come. Huiling City is very safe now, and the defeat of Nanliang is just around the corner. What's the danger? Now is a great time to practice military skills. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know how long it will take.
When she thought that Tian Detao was easily promoted from the sixth rank to President Wei Qian because he went to the southwest border to appease the people, Mrs. Qiao now felt a little regretful.
Mrs. Qiao said patiently: "Brother, Brother Yu is half of the blood of our Xiao family, and he is not a weak scholar. Just give him a chance, right?"
Seeing that King Zhennan still didn’t speak, Mrs. Qiao took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes with tears in her eyes and said: "Brother, are you still hating me and Brother Yu for the previous incident of appeasing the people in Southwest China?" ? We are a family, how can we have an overnight feud! Brother, you are Brother Yu’s biological uncle..."
Mrs. Qiao said a lot of nonsense, sometimes praying, sometimes threatening, sometimes crying, but she always had the same idea, which was to ask Zhennan King to help Qiao Shenyu.
King Zhennan was so noisy that his forehead ached and his ears were buzzing. He just wanted to get rid of Mrs. Qiao quickly and said helplessly: "In a few days, Lieutenant Li will lead a group of people. The heavy supply camp is transporting grain and grass to Huiling City. If Brother Yu really wants to go, then go with them."
Mrs. Qiao responded with a smile and said: "Okay, okay. Brother, I know you still love Brother Yu."
The King of Zhennan rubbed his temples and said: "Sister, I will tell you the ugly things first. On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes. If anything happens, don't come to me and cry... ”
What can happen? Mrs. Qiao thought to herself that she didn't take King Zhennan's words to heart at all. She responded casually, and then thought of another thing. She came to King Zhennan this time not only for Qiao Shenyu, but also for her daughter's entrustment.
"Brother, I have one more thing..."
Halfway through Mrs. Qiao’s words, King Zhennan’s face almost turned dark, and he almost wanted to issue an eviction order.
Mrs. Qiao continued: "It's about An Yihou."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qiao would mention An Yihou. King Zhennan raised his eyebrows and looked over, "An Yihou?"
Mrs. Qiao looked a little unnatural, but asked: "Brother, do you know if Marquis An Yi is married?"
Why does the eldest sister ask this? ! King Zhennan narrowed his eyes strangely, could it be... He vaguely thought of some possibility, but the eldest sister clearly had her eye on Master Fu the last time... Hey, the eldest sister just has one idea a day, so ambitious! Who is An Yihou? Although Qiao Mansion is an in-law of Zhennan Prince Mansion, Sister Lan is not worthy of An Yihou in terms of status or family background.
King Zhennan knew Mrs. Qiao’s temper and didn’t bother to say anything more. He replied: “As far as I know, Marquis An Yi has not yet been married.”
Mrs. Qiao looked surprised. This answer was completely beyond her expectation. She had promised her daughter to come to King Zhennan to ask, but in her mind, Guan Yubai looked to be in his early twenties and held the high position of a second-grade military prince. How could it be possible? Not married? ! She originally planned to make her daughter give up, but she didn't expect...
Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but ask again: "Brother, An Yihou is not young yet, why haven't we gotten married yet?" Is there some hidden disease?
"I don't know about this." There was a hint of impatience in King Zhennan's tone. As a grown man, he can't expect his family to ask Guan Yubai about such trivial matters.
Mrs. Qiao was distracted, but she didn't care about King Zhennan's tone.
She thought about it again and again and still felt that Guan Yubai was not a good match for her daughter, so she didn't ask any more questions and stood up to leave.
The King of Zhennan had already had a headache from her troubles, so he quickly served tea to see off the guests.
