Resourceful beauty

Chapter 139

"This kind of person should be taught a good lesson, so that she doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and really thinks that once the world is turned upside down, she can trample others on the soles of her feet."

Growing up together since childhood, Chen Mei knows better than anyone how Fang Ruhua and her sisters bullied Fang Ruxuan. Now that Fang Ruxuan has said this, Chen Mei is very happy to know that Fang Ruhua has suffered such a big loss. She sighed, "However, she should be content."

In another family, once the mistress is pregnant, the first thing to do is to take a concubine or arrange a housemate for her husband, so as not to underserve her.

Fang Ruhua was almost eight months pregnant, and Han Song only had Aunt Qin next to her, which was already pretty good.

"Compared to Fang Ruyu, she seems to be living in a honey pot now. If she is still not satisfied, God will not look down on it."

While curling her lips, Chen Mei's subordinates put a sour plum in their mouths without any hassle.

Ever since he worked in the Ninetowns Army and Horse Division, Fang Zhengjun would bring something to Chen Mei every day when he came back from outside. Sometimes it was a simple but chic mahogany hairpin on the side of the road, and sometimes it was just baked in the shop. A few days ago, I went to Nancheng to buy an eight-treasure box. When I opened it, it was sweet and sour, and it was full of pickled plums.

Black ebony plums, dark green sour apricots, purple grapes, just look at them and feel articulate, Chen Mei can't put it down, unless Fang Ruxuan is willing to display them when she comes.

Picking up a sour plum and putting it in her mouth, Fang Ruxuan frowned and looked at Chen Mei, "It's so sour, you'd better take a few bites, lest you hurt your stomach and feel uncomfortable later."

Chen Mei smiled and nodded, but her subordinates did not stop at all.

As it was approaching lunch time, Fang Zhengjun sent Song Lin back to pass the word that he would not be coming back, so Fang Ruxuan took advantage of the opportunity to stay.

On the dining table, there were eight dishes and one soup, four meat and four vegetables. Fang Ruxuan had almost finished eating, but there was still so much rice in Chen Mei's bowl. She just pulled it with chopsticks, as if she was counting rice grains.

"What's wrong? No appetite?"

Fang Ruxuan put down her chopsticks and asked with concern.

Chen Mei simply put down her chopsticks, "The weather is not hot now, but I feel like a fire is burning in my heart. I can't lift my spirits every day, but I can eat some pastries and snacks. When I was eating, I felt like I couldn’t open my mouth and couldn’t swallow.”

Thinking that Chen Mei had lived in Jiangbei for so many years, perhaps she was not used to coming to the capital, Fang Ruxuan came up with an idea and said, "Why don't you invite a doctor to come and have a look."

Chen Mei shook her head resolutely, "After two months of being a housekeeper, I finally managed to settle this big mess. Now, there are countless people waiting to see my jokes. I invite the doctor at this time. If there is any The illness is fine, if there is no problem, they will think that I am hypocritical."

"Bah bah bah..."

Fang Ruxuan glared at Chen Mei angrily, "Of course it is impossible to be sick, you, put your heart in your stomach."

"The concubine Shizi has been like this for several days, and the servants will not listen to her persuasion, Miss Six, you have to talk about her well..."

Ningxue went forward to serve Fang Ruxuan a bowl of soup, and said with an apologetic smile.

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and smiled, and said with an idea: "Why don't we go out for a stroll in the afternoon? Maybe it's because I've been bored in the house all day, and I can't digest the food. Let's go for a walk and feel better. Appetite whetted."

"correct……"

Fang Ruxuan took a sip of the soup and said, "Last time, at the Piaoxiang wonton store, the old man said that when the weather gets cold, we will cook the wontons in beef bone soup. It must be more delicious. Let's try it after shopping."

Chen Mei smiled and nodded with a smile on her face, she didn't look like the dignified princess of the past at all.

After returning to Shuyuxuan to take a nap, and getting up again, Chen Mei had already arrived, and the two of them took kapok and Ningxue with them, took a carriage and left the palace through the back door.

When they got out of the carriage, both of them wore veiled caps and simple but not luxurious clothes, making it obvious that they were young ladies from a rich family.

After buying a few pieces of jewelry and picking out some brocades with novel patterns, more than an hour had passed, and she was tired of shopping after thinking about it. Fang Ruxuan took Chen Mei to the Fragrance Wonton Shop.

The Wonton shop is opened by an old couple. It is said to be a storefront, but it is actually a simple cloth shed on the street. White noodle soup to cook wontons in.

The old woman was sitting by the stove, holding a small ravioli with her hands together. On the other side, the husband had counted enough, and quickly scooped it up and threw it into the pot for cooking.

Looking at the simplicity, Fang Ruxuan felt that such simple happiness warmed people's hearts, so whenever she came out, as long as she was not in a hurry to go back, she would come to eat a bowl.

Before the bustling time, when Fang Ruxuan and his party went in, there was no one else in the shed.

The four of them sat down in a corner seat, and after a while, four bowls of beef soup wontons sprinkled with green onions were served.

After taking a few sips of the soup, Chen Mei immediately smiled and praised the deliciousness, but she only ate two wontons, and just halfway through the third one, she covered her mouth and turned her back to retch.

Fang Ruxuan has eaten here many times. Although the old couple are wearing patched clothes, their hands are washed clean. The pot and stove are not messy at all, and the food is absolutely clean.

Ningxue wiped Chen Mei with a handkerchief, while the old lady came over to take a few glances, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this young lady has one, go back and ask a doctor to take a look, the old lady's eyes are poisonous, a few years ago He also often delivers babies, so you must be right."

In a word, Chen Mei and Fang Ruxuan froze for a moment.

After a while, Chen Mei lowered her head shyly, and put her hands flat on her lower abdomen.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back quickly, and I will feel at ease after asking a doctor to come and have a look."

Fang Ruxuan said happily.

Chen Mei hesitated and shook her head, "As soon as the doctor is invited, everyone in the whole family will know, except you, I want Zheng Jun to be the first to know."

Fang Zhengjun was on business, so he took people out of the city, and did not come back until three days later.

For such a big happy event, Chen Mei's thoughts are taken for granted, Fang Ruxuan nodded, "on the way back in a while, we will pass a medical clinic, and then we will go in and get the pulse. With the veiled hat, no one will recognize us .”

Chen Mei nodded with a smile.

Returning to Qingfengzhai in the evening, Chen Mei couldn't hide the smile on her face.

In the inner room, Chen Mei hugged Fang Ruxuan's arm and said with a soft smile, "I'm sure you'll be happy when your brother comes back."

"That's for sure, I'm going to be a father..."

Fang Ruxuan responded.

After sitting for a while, worried that Chen Mei was tired, Fang Ruxuan went back to Shu Yuxuan, and at the same time ordered Ding Xiang to pick out the bird's nests and send them to Qingfengzhai.

When she was free, Fang Ruxuan raised her head and saw Kapok was there all the time, "What did you find?"

While eating wontons, Kapok left for a cup of tea.

Mu Mian nodded, "Qiu Tong from the Yixin Hall went to a house on the East Street. I don't know who lives there, but when I walked around to the front door, it happened to be the main entrance of Renhe Hall."

If Su Yuan or someone from the Yixin Palace fell ill, they would definitely not seek medical treatment in such a hidden way, not to mention that they entered through the back door of the medical hall.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Fang Ruxuan can't figure out the reason for a while, so she can only pin her hope on kapok.

Mu Mian thought about it and said: "After Qiu Tong came out of Renhe Hall, he didn't take any medicine in his hand, but if he got something else, he couldn't tell from the outside. I will keep an eye on Yixin Hall for the next few days. Don't worry, miss."

In the afternoon of the next day, when it was supposed to be a break, Su Yuan took Qiu Tong out the door.

In the past few days, I haven't received any invitations from anyone. What's more, Su Yuan didn't go out at the time like going to a banquet. Mu Mian paid attention, said hello to Fang Ruxuan, and followed all the way out of the palace. .

The carriage circled the city twice before stopping in front of a well-known tailor-made clothing store. Before getting out of the carriage, Su Yuan carefully glanced left and right.

In the private room on the second floor, there was already a person waiting early, and it was the manager Qi.

There were many people in the hall, and it was difficult for Kapok to go up and eavesdrop. After seeing the people in the private room, he quickly returned to the palace.

Taking advantage of Su Yuan's absence in the Yixin Hall, Mu Mian climbed in from the back courtyard wall, and after confirming that there was no one in the inner hall, opened the window and jumped in.

After some searching, a small packet of medicinal powder was found from a hidden compartment of Su Yuan's dressing table.

Picking up a pinch and smelling it, it is confirmed that it is colorless and odorless rosemary. In addition to bewildering people, it can also make people answer the other party's questions when they are unsuspecting. We can probably confirm what this medicine is used for.

Quietly leaving Yixin Palace, Kapok returned to Shuyuxuan.

Knowing the function of the medicine, and thinking that Su Yuan was going to see Guan Shi today, Fang Ruxuan said with a smile: "Probably that person is also in a hurry, so that's why he came up with such a stupid trick, planning to put medicine on father and coax him Tell me where the jade pendant is."

Mu Mian also thinks so, "My lord will probably return to the mansion three to five days later, and she will only do it that night. Tell me, should we say hello to my lord in advance?"

"Luring the snake out of its hole..."

Speaking softly, Fang Ruxuan thought quickly in her mind. After a while, she said with a smile: "Instead of letting them search around like chickens without a head, it's better for us to show her the way."

Kapok was a little puzzled.

Fang Ruxuan had already got up and walked behind the desk, "I'm just writing a book, you send the letter to father, when father comes back in a few days, it's best to see the jade pendant on his body, then, Su Yuan will be saved." It’s a troublesome search. At that night, you and Mulberry Mulberry Yee have made an agreement, one of you will keep an eye on the side of Yixin Palace, and the other will follow the person who sends the jade pendant out of the mansion. When the time comes, we will give her an oriole to follow. "

With Su Yuan's idea of ​​stealing money, Fang Ruxuan decided to follow suit to fulfill her. I hope that the role played by this jade pendant will not disappoint Guan Shi and the person behind him.

Thinking to herself, Fang Ruxuan laughed inwardly.
