Zhu Yan nodded, "What you said makes sense, but who taught Zhu Ni this."

"Could it be Wu Shisun?" Geng Xingchen asked.

"Wu Qiyu can indeed do it, but I don't think it's like him. Ever since the imperial edict granted marriage, Zhu Ni seems to have never seen Wu Qiyu alone. During the first month of the year, Wu Qiyu came to our house to pay New Year's greetings according to etiquette. At that time, he was also at his grandmother's house. Everyone was in the room. Later, Wu Shisun was taken to the outer courtyard by his eldest brother. He did not enter the inner courtyard again until he said goodbye, unless Zhu Ni ran to the outer courtyard to see him. But if Zhu Ni went to the outer courtyard, his eldest brother would probably tell him. "

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "How will this matter be handled now? Does your family have an attitude?"

Zhu Yan shook her head, "I asked my parents and they told me to leave it alone."

The spring and autumn exams are the same, with nine days of exams.

While Yang Qingmo and other candidates were still writing furiously in the Chunwei examination room, something happened outside.

Mr. Yang and his wife, who were the magistrates of Peng County, Suzhou at the time, encountered robbers on their way back to Ningdu to report on their duties. Fortunately, the guards around Mr. and Mrs. Yang were not weak in martial arts and tried their best to protect the couple. They happened to encounter another man who was out on business. Nearly a hundred people from the Royal Guards and Ningnan Guards narrowly escaped death. Although the couple suffered some injuries, their injuries were not serious and there was no danger to their lives.

After Yang Shaojing and his wife returned to Ningdu City, Yang Shaojing entered the palace directly, while Hu Fengwei returned to the Yang Mansion first. Less than half an hour after Hu Fengwei entered the Yang Mansion, there was already an imperial doctor with a medicine boy carrying a medicine box. Coming to the door.

Everyone in the Yang family, from Mrs. Yang to the eldest couple, the third couple, as well as all the grandchildren, were stunned.

"Why is this imperial doctor here? Who is he treating?"

Yang San’s wife, Deng Shi, said doubtfully.

"Please invite the doctor in quickly!" Although Mr. Yang Yang Shaoshan was confused, his reaction was quick at this time.

Soon, the imperial doctor and the medicine boy were invited into the main courtyard.

"Mr. Lin, what are you doing..." Master Yang San, Yang Shaohui, who knew the doctor, asked politely.

"Third Master, Your Majesty has ordered me to come to your residence for diagnosis and treatment of Mrs. Yang."

Doctor Lin said, arching his hands in the direction of the palace.

When everyone in the room heard this, they all looked at Hu Fengwei.

"Second brother and sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Second sister-in-law, are you sick?"

Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Deng, the third wife of Yang, asked at the same time. Mrs. Deng looked Hu Fengwei up and down.

Mrs. Zeng stepped forward to support her mother-in-law.

"Here's Imperial Physician Lao Lin!" Hu Fengwei didn't show any pretense. When Imperial Physician Lin took out the pulse pillow, she stretched out her hand.

Doctor Lin closed his eyes to listen to his pulse, then opened his eyes after a moment, "Madam's injury has recovered, but the fatigue of traveling and traveling has caused a lot of physical wear and tear. Please write a prescription for Madam so that she can nourish and recuperate!"

A servant had already brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone at the right time. After the doctor Lin wrote the prescription, he handed it to the maid next to Hu Fengwei and then left.

As soon as Dr. Lin left, the expressions of everyone in the room changed in different ways. Hu Fengwei didn't say much, and just said to Mrs. Yang: "Mother, my daughter-in-law will go down and wash up first. After cleaning up, I will come to serve you!"

"Go down and have a rest. There's no need to come here in a hurry. When the second brother comes back from the palace, you can come together. The palace has prepared a reception banquet for you in the evening!" Mrs. Yang looked at Hu Fengwei with relief, "You two are back. Well, my wish as an old woman will be fulfilled. If Rokuro wins the Jinshi this time, I will die without regrets!"

"Mom, what are you talking about? You will definitely live a long life!" Hu Fengwei immediately pretended to be angry.

"Yes, yes, I said something wrong. You should go and have a rest. By the way, the boss's wife, please ask someone to get the medicine prescribed by Dr. Lin. Erlang's wife, you take care of your mother-in-law. She has just come back. I'm afraid I'm not used to everything at home." Mrs. Zeng immediately said, "Grandma, don't worry, my grandson-in-law will take good care of her mother."

Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Chu, waited a moment before replying: "Don't worry, mother, I'll have someone get the medicine now."

Madam Yang glanced at Mrs. Chu, feeling helpless at her slowness, and shook her head, "Hurry up, don't wait until your second brother comes back, his wife's medicine hasn't been caught yet."

Chu's face turned red and she hurriedly stepped back to get busy.

"Mom, I heard that you encountered robbers on the road. What happened?"

Yang Qingbi asked anxiously after returning from Mrs. Yang's main courtyard.

Mrs. Hu glanced at her eldest son and said, "When your father comes back, you can go to the study and tell me, what day is the Chunwei exam starting today?"

Yang Qingqing choked on his pen. Zeng looked at him, smiled, and answered for him: "Mother, Uncle Six will be back in two days."

Hu Fengwei nodded, "I will go to Anping's Mansion tomorrow."

"Sister-in-law!" Mrs. Chu was thinking about instructing her servants to get medicine quickly. She had to go to the kitchen to see how the preparations for the reception banquet in the evening were going. If anything went wrong, her mother-in-law would have to blame him.

Just as I was concentrating on my thoughts, I heard the voice of my third sibling, Deng, coming from behind.

Mrs. Chu stopped and the maid Mu Qing reminded her in a low voice: "Madam, it's not long before dinner."

"I know." Chu replied absentmindedly, then looked back at Deng who was walking toward her.

Mu Qing sighed inwardly, thinking of what the third girl had told her, she was just a servant and how could she control her master's behavior.

"Sister-in-law, what did mother mean just now? Did you hear it?"

Madam Deng walked up to Madam Chu, leaned close to her ear and whispered in her ear.

Mrs. Chu shook her head, "My mother just told me to buy medicine and prepare for the dinner. What other meaning could there be?"

Mrs. Deng glanced at Mrs. Chu with a somewhat meaningful look, "Sister-in-law, although the second brother has been an official outside for so many years, now he has come back. Judging from his appearance, he should not serve outside anymore. From now on, the second brother and sister-in-law will always stay. In the mansion, although the second brother is only a mere county magistrate, but..."

Deng paused for a moment, pretending to be mysterious, and when Chu looked over, she continued: "But sister-in-law, look at the situation today. As soon as the second brother returned to Ningdu, he entered the palace, and the general county magistrate returned Ning Du reported his duties. The emperor didn't even say he summoned you. He didn't even know who you were. But you see, the second brother was summoned to the palace as soon as he came back. The emperor actually sent an imperial doctor to the house to diagnose and treat the second sister-in-law. Everyone You know, although they encountered robbers on the road, they were all not injured. Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? "

"What does it mean?" After listening to Deng's words, Mrs. Chu gradually understood something in her heart, and the sourness that had just been suppressed in the room seemed to gradually surge up again.

"It means that the second brother Jian is in the emperor's heart. From now on, he will definitely be promoted. Mother is always partial and likes the second sister-in-law. Now that the second brother has been promoted, tsk tsk, sister-in-law, I don't know the identity of the mistress of the Yang family who is in charge of the middle school. Can it still be saved?”

Originally, Mrs. Deng was not prepared to speak so bluntly, but she knew that her sister-in-law was empty-headed, dull and stupid. If she didn't speak more clearly, she might not be able to understand the hidden meaning of her words even if she thought about it for a month. The code word, simply say it bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Chu's face turned pale. She twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly and forced an ugly smile, "Third brother and sister, what you said is too exaggerated. Wherever...it would be like this." ?”

"Anyway, I have reminded you of what I should have reminded you. If it weren't for the friendship we have been together for so many years, I would not risk offending others by saying these things. If my sister-in-law doesn't believe it, forget it. I am talking too much. !”

Deng said, turned around and left neatly.

Mrs. Chu looked at Mr. Deng's back, pursed her lips tightly, frowned into the Chinese character "Sichuan", and walked to the kitchen with deep thoughts, not hearing a single word of Mu Qing's words of comfort.
