Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 226

The two of them just strolled along the stone road in the yard, and did not sit in the only gazebo in the yard.

The main reason is that it is too cold. The gazebo was obviously built for summer shade, and there is a grape trellis on one side. The sunshine time here is long, which is very suitable for grape growth, so some people will plant a grape trellis in the yard, and it can be viewed. You can taste it again, killing two birds with one stone.

The two of them walked through the middle courtyard to the backyard, and Wang Qingyue took Qingyan directly to her boudoir.

They were all in the middle courtyard before, there was a flower hall specially used to receive guests, and Wang Qingyue usually handled trivial matters at home there.

Qingyan only stayed for two hours last time, so she didn't have a chance to come to the backyard and went back.

Speaking of it, it was also the wrong time for Qingyan to come last time, just in time for a shopkeeper to report the account at the end of the month, so Wang Qingyue was very busy.

At that time, watching her busy and busy, sitting beside her was quite awkward, so Qingyan left early, not wanting to cause trouble to others.

Thinking about it now, I didn't say anything in advance and came directly to the door. The stewards were waiting there, so I couldn't send her away and just entertained her.

It was different today, Wang Qingyue had nothing to do this morning, the two of them chatted very easily.

The two of them chatted a lot today, talking about some interesting things in life, talking about people they met before, and it feels like they have endless things to say.

Especially Qingyan, she felt that if it wasn't for the time and space, she would have wanted to introduce her brother to her. It would be nice to have such a sister-in-law who gets along well with her, and there might be no problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because her mother and her like the same.

She couldn't help but say some embarrassing things about her brothers, of course she would change the time and place a little bit.

The other party was very happy to hear it, and kept laughing, especially when she said that her second brother liked to bully her, and every time she would tease her, she screamed and was chased and beaten by her father and elder brother. The envy on her face It's just too obvious.

"If only I had an older brother, he would definitely protect me." She said softly.

Qingyan patted her arm, and comforted her: "You have a younger brother, he will grow up soon, I can see that Feng is very stable at a young age, and his future is boundless, you just wait for him to protect him in the future." You."

Wang Qingyue was also very happy to hear her praise her younger brother. After all, it can be said that she brought up her younger brother single-handedly, so it is an honor for her to be praised by others.

At this time, a fat yellow cat ran into the room, Qingyan's eyes lit up, "Qingyue, you also have a cat, I also have a yellow cat like yours, but it is smaller, it has How old are you and what's your name?"

Wang Qingyue picked up the cat that ran up to her lap and kept rubbing it, "It is three years old this year, its name is Hydrangea, it was brought from my uncle's house, it is very obedient, and it will run over when it is called.

Next time you come over, please bring your cat. The two of them can play together. What's your cat's name? "

Qingyan nodded and said: "Okay, my cat is named Youqian, just three months old, and more than three circles younger than it. Hydrangea is really chubby, at least a dozen catties."

You can tell that it eats and drinks well at first glance, and the name suits its body shape quite well.

When Wang Qingyue heard the name Youqian, she couldn't help laughing again, "Why did you give it such a name? If you raise another one, wouldn't it be called Youshi?"

Qingyan shook her head seriously, "That's not true. If I raise another one, it will be called rich or rich. I am very dedicated."

"Hahaha...don't say such a serious thing, I'm going to die laughing..."

Qingyan raised her eyebrows, is her smile so low?

The two of them were chatting when they heard a commotion outside.

Wang Qingyue suppressed her smile and frowned slightly.

Since she was the housekeeper, except for the first two years when there were undisciplined concubines or servants making trouble, no one dared to come to her yard for many years.

Qingyan's hearing is good, she heard the sound a long time ago, it should have been in another courtyard before, the sound was a little far away, but now it's outside the main courtyard.

Hearing the voice outside was high-pitched and artificial, it should be the royal father's concubine's room.

The man kept yelling to see the eldest lady, but when he was stopped, he yelled at the gate of the courtyard.

It sounded like her child was sick, so it would be fine to ask someone to call for a doctor, and I don't know why Wang Qingyue came to this place.

Wang Qingyue apologized to Qingyan, then raised her voice to ask someone to bring her in.

After a while, a woman in a green jacket and skirt rushed in. The woman was about 20 years old, and she was about to kneel down to Wang Qingyue immediately after entering.

Fortunately, the two maids had quick eyes and quick hands, and they were blocked at once.

Wang Qingyue's face darkened in an instant. Although the current status of the concubine's house is not high, and the concubine does business, even if she has a child, she is only a half-servant in the family.

But after all, it was her father's concubine, even if she was a prostitute, it would be unreasonable for the other party to kneel down to her.

What's more, she still has friends here to visit, so her appearance is simply embarrassing for her.

"Aunt Chen, what are you doing? Didn't you see that I have guests here? This behavior is really rude!"

Seeing that she couldn't kneel down, Aunt Chen had to straighten her body, crying and said to Wang Qingyue: "Miss, Miss, please do me a favor and invite a doctor for Yu'er! Yu'er has had a fever all morning after suffering from the wind and cold. Without a doctor coming over for diagnosis and treatment, I'm afraid it will be impossible..."

Wang Qingyue's eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "You can just ask someone to invite you directly, why bother to trouble me!"

Although she was stricter with the housekeeper, she had always explained this kind of thing.

There is no need to report to her when someone in the family is sick. Just ask someone to call the doctor directly.

This Aunt Chen is also an old man in the family, so it is impossible not to know this rule, and she does not know why she came here today.

She made such a fuss, as if she couldn't invite a doctor without going through the people in the house.

Wang Qingyue glanced at Qingyan subconsciously, this was her first friend, and she didn't want her to misunderstand her.

Seeing her looking over, Qingyan smiled slightly at her.

Of course she will not misunderstand Wang Qingyue, she is not a little girl who does not know the world, this Aunt Chen has no anxiety about the child's illness in her eyes, it is all calculations.

She yelled outside the yard before, but the voice was really artificial, not at all like a mother who was in a hurry for her child.

After he came in, he even took a look at her first, and then he looked at her with contempt, and then he was about to kneel before Wang Qingyue. This acting is really clumsy.

"Miss, I sent someone to ask for it, but the old doctor Liang we are used to is not in the clinic at all. The doctor in Huichun Hall in the east of the city said that there are too many patients, so he doesn't agree to make a visit at all."

Wang Qingyue took a deep breath and said: "Then what if you come to me? I still want to send someone to invite the doctor. Is it possible that I can send someone to the doctor?"

Aunt Chen was momentarily stopped by the question, she rolled her eyes and said: "This... I just want to ask the eldest lady to send a carriage, just to send a carriage to take Yu'er to the medical clinic..."

Seeing that it was made up now, Wang Qingyue didn't bother to bother with her, fearing that something might happen to her concubine sister, so she ordered the internal steward who just came in with Aunt Chen to prepare a carriage and take Wang Huaiyu to the hospital.

Qingyan raised her eyebrows, opened her consciousness directly, and explored one by one small courtyards behind.

They explored several yards, but they didn't see a sick child lying on the bed, but saw two six or seven-year-old girls chasing and playing in the yard.

I don't know which one is Wang Huaiyu, and this Aunt Chen doesn't look like a fool, she would tell such an obvious lie, and I don't know why.

After making such a fuss, I really invited a doctor to come over to see her. The child is playing well. Isn't this making yourself unhappy.

This Wang Qingyue's father, Wang Tongpan, should be a fifth-rank official. He said that the novel is not big, but after all, he is not from a big family. Father Wang really relied on his own efforts and passed the exam by himself, so the Wang family can be regarded as from He only got up in this life, and he was just a farming and studying family before.

So there is no big family background at all. After Wang's father was admitted to Juren, he married Wang Qingyue's mother. The Queen's mother's family is a well-known wealthy gentry in Yunzhou. It is a great thing for her daughter to marry Juren. This can already be done. official.

The natal family directly gave a lot of dowry, and there are many profitable shops among them. Even now, Father Wang's monthly salary is only enough for him to socialize outside. It can be said that the current expenses of the Wang family are all from those shops. from here.

If it weren't for the fact that the queen mother was too weak, with her dowry, she wouldn't be taken over by the concubine's house. After all, all the flowers they ate were her dowry, so she could be very tough.

This is also the real reason why Wang Tongpan was willing to let Wang Qingyue be the housekeeper. If it was all the property of the Wang family, you can see whether he would agree to the housekeeper of his daughter who was going to marry sooner or later.

Even if he is willing, the members of the Wang family will not be happy, and there will definitely be criticisms. After all, the current clan concept is very heavy, and the patriarch or clan elders are very strict. This is the reality.

Wang Qingyue had already asked someone to prepare the car, but Aunt Chen did not leave, but looked at her hesitantly.

Wang Qingyue frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Aunt Chen, what else do you have to do? If there is nothing else, hurry up and take the third sister to see a doctor."

Aunt Chen said with some coyness: "This doctor needs a consultation fee... Yu'er is too thin to get sick often, I want... I want to prescribe some medicine for her body by the way..."

There was a flash of clarity in Wang Qingyue's eyes, she still wanted money, and she thought she had some new tricks in this toss.

However, she made herself lose face in front of her friends, and she will definitely have to settle the debt with her afterward.

She glanced at her indifferently, and said to the internal manager, "Take Aunt Chen to the accountant to withdraw five taels of silver."

"Yes, Aunt Chen, please follow the old slave to the middle courtyard." The steward bent over and said.

"Miss Xie!" Aunt Chen's eyes lit up when she heard the five taels of silver, she almost couldn't control her expression, thanked her quickly, turned and followed the internal steward and left.

Qingyan is a little speechless, she has been doing this for a long time just to ask for money?

She looked at Wang Qingyue and said, "Don't you want someone to see if your third younger sister is really sick?"

Wang Qingyue chuckled lightly and said: "She hasn't had a good time, with such a mother, it's normal for her to be in poor health.

You don't even know that Aunt Chen took great pains to get money from me. Today, she let her daughter eat cold food and get sick, and tomorrow she sleeps with the window open to suffer from the cold. Huaiyu's growth is due to God's blessing. "

Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "You know she's like this and you still spoil her, isn't she getting worse?"

Wang Qingyue: "Do you know why she is so desperate for money?"

Qingyan shook her head and looked at her suspiciously.

Wang Qingyue: "She is to redeem her sister, I heard that her sister is newly widowed, and her mother-in-law tortures her every day because she has no children.

Her natal family wanted to take her back, but the mother-in-law said that she would have to pay 30 taels of silver to let her go home, otherwise she would be a member of her family if she was born, and her ghost would be her ghost if she died.

Because their family asked for a dowry but did not give a dowry back then, they were already at a disadvantage to their in-laws' family, and they couldn't bring him back by force, so they had to raise money.

Aunt Chen told my father about this, but my father has never saved any money, and he is very face-saving. It is definitely impossible for him to ask me for money to redeem my concubine's sister, so Aunt Chen had to find a way by herself.

It can be said that all kinds of methods have been tried. Clothes and jewelry are all customary, and she will not add them randomly, so she focused on her daughter.

Huaiyu was born less than a month old, and when she was a child, she often used her poor health to compete for favor. My father still paid attention to it at first, but after a long time, he became tired.

Now that she has started to use her daughter to earn ransom money for her younger sister, I don't know whether to sympathize with her daughter's misfortune or to appreciate her sisterly love. "

After listening to Qingyan, she also sighed: "Her daughter is really unlucky."

Meeting such a mother is also because I didn't cultivate in the previous life, what a sin I have committed, and I met such a mother in this life.

"Then you are kind enough. Knowing that she is like this, you give her back the money."

Wang Qingyue waved her hand and said: "Although Aunt Chen is careful and thoughtful, she is the only one among my father's concubines who is not hostile to us three. I was a little more tolerant of our mother and sister by making dirty tricks against us.

Other concubines are different. Before I was the housekeeper, my younger brother fell into the water twice, and my housekeeper also ate a few times in the first two years. He almost died.

Although the culprit was found out and sold by my father, the ones left behind are more thoughtful, and some of them are instigating others to do bad things.

It's just that the other party did it secretly, and I have no evidence, so I can't let my father deal with them, so I can only make people pay more attention.

Over the years, the others have more or less revealed their flaws, and only Aunt Chen is the same as before, so I didn't demand too much from her. "
