It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 109

Xiao Mo found several clothes for Qian Zhaoling that didn't fit him well, and he said with a bitter face, "Master, your waist is thick." Recently, the second wife lived in the second room, and the second wife asked if she was warm all day long. It is said that the supplements of bird's nest and ginseng are constantly available, not to mention the young master, even he has gained a lot of weight.

Qian Zhaoling looked down at his waistline, he seemed to be really fat, and said, "Didn't the second lady just send some new clothes a few days ago, take them here and try them on."

Xiao Mo patted his head, and suddenly realized, "Young master, I really forgot." After speaking, he got up and went to the closet to get a new stack of clothes, and asked, "Master, do you think this one is okay? "

Qian Zhaoling glanced at it, and saw that it was a straight gown with a crow blue pigmented surface and carved silk. The clothes had been ironed and scented, and looked neat and refreshing. He nodded and said, "That's it." look.

Xiao Mo has long been used to Qian Zhaoling's hard work. He has served Qian Zhaoling for seven or eight years. Unless he is sick, he will study hard from morning to night, and he has never indulged once.

When the preparations were ready, Xiao Mo reminded, "Young Master, the hour is almost here."

Reluctantly, Qian Zhaoling put down the book, looked at the sky, the sun had already risen in mid-air, got up, washed his hands, washed up, changed into the clothes prepared by Xiao Mo, and went out.

The concierge had already set up a carriage for him. Although the carriage in the second room was not as high as that of the big house in the East Mansion, after all, one was a family of officials and the other was a family of doctors. There is a variegated horse, and the inside of the carriage is even more luxurious, with tea sets, cushions, and pillows, everything is available.

Xiao Mo couldn't help being amazed, and said, "It's said that the second room is rich, but it's really... Young Master, it's much better than what you used in the East Mansion."

Qian Zhaoling looked at the swaying silk curtains with double embroidered flowers, grasses and insects, and occasionally could see the bustling street scene outside, and said in silence for a while, "The Qian family is a famous doctor bestowed by the emperor, and they are well-known. There are only three pharmacies in Kyoto. , but it is hard to find medicine, and the foundation is deep, so naturally it is not comparable to the salary of a father in the Hanlin." Qian Zhaoling said that the father is naturally Qianqiuhong.

Qian Zhaoling thought that when he was a child, he watched his father tinkering with medicinal materials all day long, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine. He thought that he would be like his father, and finally become a doctor who inherited the medicine of Qian's family, but his fate was so strange. , Let him embark on the path of reading that he never thought of.

Xiao Mo said regretfully, "Although everything is inferior, only reading is high, but it is a good thing to be a doctor for the sake of helping the world. It's a pity that no one can pass on such good medical skills as Erfang now. ... In the past, the second lady could recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family business, but now that the second lady has entered the palace, what will the second wife do in the future?"

Qian Zhaoling knocked on the desk and did not speak.

He still remembered that when he was still reading medical books at home, he wondered whether his sister should take some medicine for her cough these days, and he had read the Compendium of Materia Medica that his father showed him, so should he read the Emperor's Internal Classic?
As a result, his mother Tang suddenly broke in, hugged him tightly and refused to let go, crying and said to his father Qian Qiubai, "This is my lifeblood, how did I give birth to him? Do you want to adopt him? nothing!"
