The Epic Revenge Chapter 168: Playful
The Overseer's House is divided into inner and outer courtyards.
The inner courtyard is the home, the outer courtyard is the office building, and the important meetings of the commander-in-chief are all in the military government.
Si Xingpei was talking to the staff and didn't see Gu Qingzhou.
It was the fifth concubine Tai Huayan, who was so nervous when she saw Si Xingpei's back.
"Fang is the young marshal, has Miss Gu ever seen him?" Hua Yan asked Gu Qingzhou, covering up.
Gu Qingzhou smiled and said lightly, "I've seen it a few times in the company's mansion."
Hua Yan nodded and said nothing, bypassing the conference hall in front of the Overseer's Mansion and entering the inner courtyard directly through an arch.
"There is a small road here, let's walk through it, we don't need to detour." Mrs. Wu said.
She took Gu Qingzhou and entered through the path at the arch.
The rockery pond of the Overseer's Mansion is a quiet environment.
Hana Yan's yard is located in the most southwest corner, near the back door, a two-story building with a small yard.
The yard is small and only two peach trees are planted, which are lush and leafy at this time of year.
The floor is paved with blue bricks and swept clean; under the eaves in the southwest, there are tables and chairs of boxwood, which should be used for chess at dusk.
Hanahiko's bedroom is on the second floor, and it is very clean and airy.
"Look, there will be no humidity in this room." Hua Yan said.
Gu Qingzhou pondered slightly.
She stood in Hua Yan's room and looked at the surrounding environment: it was ventilated and quiet, and it was difficult to be infected with heat and humidity.
Without the environmental problem, Gu Qingzhou almost knew the root of Huayan's problem.
At this time, Gu Qingzhou can be diagnosed.
"Aunt Wu, do you like to drink?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
"I don't really like it very much. I occasionally drink it. The Overseer loves to drink. Sometimes when he comes over for dinner, I will accompany him for a few sips." Hua Yan said.
Hana Yan is actually very fond of drinking, and the amount of alcohol is also very large. Of course, he is not close to being addicted to alcohol.
She thought drinking might not be good, so Gu Qingzhou asked, she was embarrassed to lie and didn't want to tell Gu Qingzhou.
"Then your abdominal pain is caused by drinking." Gu Qingzhou still said.
Even if Hua Yan refused to admit it, Gu Qingzhou could see it.
Hana Yan couldn't believe it. She never thought that drinking would make her sick. When she was a child, her grandfather and grandmother often said that alcohol can cure all diseases.
Hana Yan wondered: "However, I also drink a few glasses when I was a child, why did I only get sick in the last six months?"
"You are from the north, right?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
Hanahiko nodded.
She was born in the northern country. She had a wealthy family when she was young, and was a small wealthy businessman in the local area.
It's a pity that there are military disasters every year, and the business is completely regrettable. That **** commander wants her to be a concubine. Hua Yan's father disagreed, and ran to the south with his family overnight.
When I ran away, I only took gold and silver with me, and I lost a lot of house title deeds.
After arriving in the south, Hua Yan went to school and his father resumed his business.
How do you know that the always shrewd father was actually deceived, and all his family wealth was compensated.
Hanahiko's father couldn't bear such a failure and fell ill with anger.
After he was ill for two months, he left, leaving behind a large family of orphans and widows.
Hanahiko is the eldest daughter in the family and has five younger brothers and younger sisters. After graduating from middle school, she gave up the idea of studying abroad and worked as a small editor for a newspaper to make money to support her family.
During an interview, her camera hit the commander in the face, and the commander knew her.
She was scared to death, but the commander-in-chief laughed.
Later, she was taken into the house by the governor and became the concubine of the Si family.
Before that, Hua Yan was still an independent woman, but then she gave up completely and lived a pampered life. She sometimes thinks about it and feels a little unwilling.
"You're not very comfortable with the plum rain in the southern part of the country. When the plum rain season comes, your body is heavy, especially during that time, you like to use wine to ward off cold and dampness, right?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.
Hanahiko exclaimed: "That's true."
Every time he gets heavy, Hana Yan drinks alcohol to get rid of it.
"Because of alcoholism and the dampness of the rainy season, the dampness in your body causes dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder. The dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder will accumulate in the middle energizer, and the Qi mechanism will be blocked, resulting in abdominal pain.
Pancreatitis in Western medicine only treats the symptoms of pain. If the dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder are not eliminated, if the cause is not eliminated, it will recur. "Gu Qingzhou said truthfully.
Hua Yan's pulse was thin and counted, which should be due to dampness and heat in her body. Gu Qingzhou was afraid that it was an external cause, so she brought some medicines to remove dampness and prepared to put it in her room.
Nowadays, it doesn't seem to work at all.
"Can that be cured?" Hua Yan asked nervously.
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
"Are you going to quit drinking?" Kahiko asked again.
"You must quit." Gu Qingzhou said.
Hanahiko frowned.
Gu Qingzhou gave her a prescription and asked her to take five doses, one a day.
Hua Yan took it over and took a closer look. The prescription said: "Five coins of betel nut, three coins of Magnolia, three coins of grass fruit, five coins of Zhimu, five coins of Hang Baishao Yao, and five coins of Astragalus .. ....."
In total, there are more than a dozen medicinal herbs.
Hana Yan recalled the pain of taking Chinese medicine, and frowned again.
Gu Qingzhou was sitting on the sofa in Huayan's room and suddenly asked, "My aunt, how many common maids do you have in this room?"
Hua Yan was puzzled, looked up from the prescription and said, "Four, what's wrong?"
"Do you trust them?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
Hana Yan was silent, smiled covertly, and continued to read the prescription.
Trust?
Large families live without trust.
Gu Qingzhou said again: "Then let me put it another way, do you suspect that they will harm you?"
Hanahiko's face sank slightly upon hearing this.
Honestly, she didn't trust these maids, and even suspected that they were hurting her and being someone else's eyeliner.
Hana Yan also used a method to catch their handle, but one of them was caught, but it was just a steal, so he was exchanged out and came in again.
She felt that she had been deceived, as if her loyalty had been exchanged, and instead came in with another eyeliner.
Everyone in their own room wants to be clean, and would rather serve less.
She also told the lady, but unfortunately the lady didn't agree.
The madam said that the Overseer's Mansion had its own rules for living, and that there was no reason to reduce the number of servants, which made the madam embarrassed.
"They... shouldn't dare..." Hanahiko's voice was inaudible.
Gu Qingzhou said: "In this way, I will give you a simple idea to test the loyalty of the servant."
Hanahiko is very interested.
Gu Qingzhou said again: "I didn't come up with an idea in vain. I'll give you an address, and you can get the medicine. If my method works, you can take this address and send a few hundred dollars to thank you, just say Thanks to the pharmacy for saving lives.”
For the favored concubine of the military government, a few hundred dollars is naturally a small matter.
"Okay." Hua Yan pondered and agreed.
Gu Qingzhou told her the address of "He's Pharmacy" and asked her to take the prescription to get the medicine.
Then, Gu Qingzhou whispered a few words in Hua Yan's ear, asking her how to test it.
Hanahiko remembered.
After finishing speaking, Gu Qingzhou left the inner courtyard of the military government.
As soon as she walked near the arch, Gu Qingzhou remembered that Hua Yan took her down the path, but she bumped into Simu who entered the door.
Between the arch and the cloister, there is a small path paved with stones. It is not a real road, but a temporary construction for copying, which can only accommodate one person.
It rained a few days ago, and the surroundings were full of wet mud. When Gu Qingzhou carefully walked halfway, Simu came towards him.
The two met on a narrow road and couldn't get around. Si Mu seemed to be waiting for Gu Qingzhou to stand in the mud next to him, or to retreat.
However, Gu Qingzhou's side is farther away, and it's shorter for Si Mu to retreat. She thinks it should be Si Mu, so she waits.
She was wearing cloth shoes, a pair of white snow silk shoes embroidered with mandarin ducks. She would never let them go into the mud. As soon as it got wet, her shoes were ruined.
Stalemate for a while, while the two were waiting for the other to retreat, Simu leaned over and grabbed Gu Qingzhou's waist with both hands.
"Ah!" Gu Qing was shocked.
In exclamation, Simu picked up Gu Qingzhou, and when he turned around, the two changed directions.
Simu solved the problem very simply.
Gu Qingzhou was startled and sweated.
After changing directions, Simu's face was expressionless, and there was no ripple in his eyes. He didn't look at Qingzhou, so he turned around and continued to walk.
Gu Qingzhou patted Fu Xie's heart and was stunned for a moment. What happened just now has no sense of reality, and Gu Qingzhou walked out in a daze.
When she went back, she remembered the scene just now, and she still couldn't believe it. She didn't expect Simu to pick her up like that.
According to Simu's character, he should quit and get out of the way.
Gu Qingzhou felt very strange.
Not only Gu Qingzhou was impressed by that scene, but Si Qiongzhi, who was standing under the flower tree in the distance, also saw it and was shocked.
Si Qiongzhi knew his brother, and his actions just now seemed to be detours, but in fact it was a bit playful.
Small doesn't need to do this at all, he can even stand in the mud and his boots won't get dirty.
He picked up Gu Qingzhou, playing with kindness.
Si Qiongzhi understands that Si Mu doesn't hate Gu Qingzhou!
If it's annoying, Simu will probably retreat directly to the archway and let Gu Qingzhou go there instead of going around so intimately.
Si Mu is a gentleman, he does things with grace, if it is Si Xingpei, it is estimated that he will directly push the blocker into the mud next to him, but Si Mu will not.
"How could this happen? Second brother should hate Gu Qingzhou very much!" Si Qiongzhi was confused and worried at the same time.
Gu Qingzhou won't really be her sister-in-law, will she?
Lady Si likes Gu Qingzhou, and so does the military governor. If Si Mu also likes her, this marriage is a sure thing!
Ke Siqiongzhi and her mother hate Gu Qingzhou!
What qualifications does Gu Qingzhou have to become the future mistress of the Overseer's House?
"Second brother won't be so blind, right?" Si Qiongzhi was frightened.
Impossible, her second brother's first love is an unparalleled beauty, and Gu Qingzhou is incomparable!
A person who loves roses doesn't like chopped green onions, right?
"What is Miss Gu doing today?" Si Qiongzhi asked the maid who followed her.
The maid said: "I don't know yet."
"Go check it out!" Si Qiongzhi snapped.
The maid was startled, whispered yes, turned around and ran away.
