Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 31

When the Li Manor sent someone to deliver the news, Hua Shi was sitting and discussing with Master Miaoyuan. Because Liu Mama was old, she was not accompanied. Fahrenheit was accompanied by Su Mu and Danshen. They were waiting at the door. Master Miaoyuan Instead, leave the door of the wing room open to prevent the melon fields from falling.

"What happened?" Su Mu asked softly when he saw that the visitor was in a hurry and his head was sweating.

"Miss Su Mu." The man was small and thin, with a pair of dark eyes that looked quite clever, bowed and said, "The master sent me here to let the wife go home as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, just speak slowly." Danshen said softly, and there was a teapot next to it for people to drink, and there was an empty cup that hadn't been used yet, so she poured a glass of water.

The boy looked at Danshen gratefully, and drank the water with a gulugulu, "Prince Yu came to our house, and he accompanied the female family members. The master made a simple arrangement, and the madam still needs to make decisions when the madam returns home."

"I'll go in and report." Danshen said decisively, but immediately put down the kettle.The wife is most proud of Su Mu, but Danshen is not convinced, always feels that his ability is not much different from that of Su Mu, so he always wants to show more in front of his wife.

Su Mu glanced at Danshen, but poured another glass of water for the boy, "I only said half of what I said..." the man said, Danshen's temperament is not as stable as Su Mu's.Although Prince Yu's visit is an important matter, how could there be any second news that would win Madam's heart more?
"Then what news?" Su Mu whispered.

"It's the second girl who is back!" the young man said with a smile.

"Second girl?" Su Mu frowned slightly.

"Look at how confused I am." The boy slapped his head and said, "It's the lady who was originally born in the first place, but this time she was sent back by Prince Yu." Then he said in a few words that from now on in the mansion, the eldest girl refers to Li Rulan, and the second girl is Li Rulan. Yun Ting is gone.

Su Mu's expression remained the same, but his pupils dilated slightly. He just went out for less than a day, that's what happened. Thinking of Li Yaqian's importance to Madam, Su Mu said: "You tell the previous news first, this news Slowly tell your wife."

The young servant was originally served by Li Wenye's side. Because he was articulate and fast, he asked him to deliver the news. He was called Wang Qi. Hearing Su Mu's words, he just knew that she didn't want to take credit for him. He said the news.He bowed gratefully, "Then thank you, Miss Sumu." His tone was relaxed and playful.But Su Mu didn't have the heart to joke with him, the lost Li Yaqian was sent back by Prince Yu now? !The mansion must be in chaos, and thinking of Li Rulan in the wing room, it feels like chaos.Biting his lower lip, he pondered the news in his heart.

Fahrenheit was discussing Buddhism with Master Miaoyuan, but when he saw someone coming, Master Miaoyuan clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha."

"What is it?" Fahrenheit said softly.

Because it is a matter in the secular world, Danshen listened to Fahrenheit and told the news of Prince Yu's visit.

Fahrenheit also folded his palms together, "Amitabha. This time, there is something in the government."

Master Miaoyuan's eyes were peaceful, he chanted the Buddha's name, and said: "Almsgiver, please go slowly." Fahrenheit faded out of the room, and said to Su Mu, "Su Mu, please go and inform Miss Hui, we are going back home."

"Yes." Regardless of the complicated thoughts, Su Mu just nodded in response.Then back down.

Seeing Su Mu retreat, Liu Qi said. "Except for Prince Yu's matter. The young one still has important matters to report."

"Just tell me." Fahrenheit said without stopping.

"Our lady from the Li family is also back with Prince Yu this time!" When Liu Qi said this, not to mention the shock on Danshen's expression, Fahrenheit stopped in his tracks, and turned his head to look at Liu Qi, which is rare It was a demeanor, breathing heavily, and said: "Say it again!"

"It's the second young lady who was born to the master and his wife, and was sent back by Prince Yu." Liu Qi said loudly.

Fahrenheit didn't seem to react, so Liu Qi repeated what he told Su Mu about the difference between the eldest lady and the second lady.Danshen also recovered from the shock, supported Fahrenheit, and said softly, "Congratulations, madam."

Fahrenheit's legs went limp, but luckily Danshen was still supporting Fahrenheit, so he did not collapse on the ground.

"Amitabha." Fahrenheit murmured softly, with tears in his eyes, he swung Danshen's arm slightly, disregarding his temples and his fine clothes, and knelt devoutly on the bluestone slab, facing the Bodhisattva in the side room kowtow.When Li Rulan came from the corner, she saw Huashi kneeling on the ground with his palms folded.

Li Rulan knew that Huashi was devout to Buddha, so she didn't dare to go forward, but when she saw that Huashi was about to get up, she stepped forward to support Huashi, and asked, "Mother, please pay attention to yourself." When Huashi saw Li Rulan, there was a faint gleam in his eyes. Feeling guilty, Li Rulan just wanted to distinguish that emotion, but it was gone.At the same time, Fahrenheit nodded slightly to Su Mu.

Knowing Fahrenheit's intention, Su Mu said, "Miss, this way."

miss?Li Rulan's body paused, but her heart skipped a beat.His eyes fell on Liu Qi.

Liu Qi wished he could not see her. This Li Rulan was originally well-clothed and the old lady's heart, but now that the real daughter of the Li family has returned, how did she tell the news?Su Mu got out of the siege and said: "I just got the news that apart from Prince Yu's visit this time, the wife's daughter is also coming back this time. The birthday is on the same day as the young lady's, but it's an hour later. From now on It's the second lady of the mansion."

After Li Rulan got such rich words, she reluctantly said: "Congratulations, mother." The mother said the words lightly and superficially, and she suddenly realized that the look in Fahrenheit's eyes just now was clearly guilty. It was a mess of emotions, but he still had to live with his face, so he said: "My sister comes back like this, but I can always be with my mother."

Li Rulan has always been decent, such an embarrassing and distressed expression is rare, which makes Fahrenheit a little guilty and distressed, after all, they have been together for two years, "No matter what, she is a serious lady of our Li family." Fahrenheit said.

Li Rulan's heart was sour, she was an adult at heart, how could she not know the truth that everyone has a heart and a heart is biased.What's more, the unseen Second Miss Li Yaxi really came out of Fahrenheit's stomach.Although she is loved by the old lady, it's just that Fahrenheit doesn't love her as much as his daughter.How can the abducted person come back?In the past two years, she has enjoyed all the glory, making the old lady favor her, her father Li Wenye likes her, her elder brother appreciates her, and she even reads and plays with her younger brother Li Yuxi, but even though her surname is Li, she is from a different family!Although Li Rulan has many emotions in her heart, she can still cover up one or two because of her knowledge.But her two maids, Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, were obviously anxious and anxious.

"I know you're having a hard time." Fahrenheit said softly, "Be at ease."

How to feel at ease...

When getting into the carriage, two groups of people have different concerns.The four servant girls below did not dare to show their air.

Fahrenheit was naturally thinking about Li Yaqian. She had been abducted for more than two years, she must have suffered, and she thought that she must treat Prince Yu's female relatives well, that is, Ming Duan Gege. If it wasn't for Prince Yu, this time I'm afraid I won't be able to see Qian'er again.The cost of food and clothing must be the best. Her Qian'er is outstanding, and she will find a son-in-law who is motivated. Speaking of this... Fahrenheit is faintly uneasy. She is ten years old. clean?What was life like these two years?Thinking that it was brought back by Prince Yu, after all, it was not found in a dirty place. As for innocence... If it is really gone, Fahrenheit gritted his teeth, and he can use something instead, or find a poor, motivated scholar. Putting some dowry is also good.Fahrenheit is even more eager to return home, wanting to see his hard-working daughter, so that she will live a safe and smooth life in the future.Because Fahrenheit didn't know that Mingduan Gege was abducted together with Li Yunting, and he was concerned about it, so he couldn't be as clever as Mrs. Zhan Zhifu.

And Li Rulan was on the other side of the carriage, holding green tea in her hand, she had just used some water, but she calmed down.The brain is also running fast, thinking about everything in front of him, and his performance just now.Although there are some gaffes, it is still passable overall.It must be difficult for Fahrenheit to make a move. After all, she is not as good as her direct daughter, but Fahrenheit is kind to the Buddha, and with the sentence just now, she doesn't have to worry too much.As for the old lady, Li Rulan can continue to rely on it. Because of the loss of Li Yaqian back then, Fahrenheit was too sad and immersed in worshiping the Buddha. The old lady was dissatisfied, otherwise she would not have adopted her. If she pretended to be obedient, she would naturally be stable. status.As for Li Wenye, he is upright and treats himself and other legitimate sons equally.Li Rulan figured that she could also catch all kinds of people.It's just that Li Yaqian...if she's a coward, she needs to be held accountable.It can be said that Li Rulan entered the Li Mansion and just started to fight hard, and it has been smooth sailing for a while, and the thought of starting the Li Manor struggle again feels trivial.Thinking about the fourth prince in the future, and thinking about getting married in the future, it will be an open and secret struggle in the house, and it is not bad to practice now.With such associations, Li Rulan thought of the return of the legitimate daughter of the Li family, so the draft?The crux of the problem is Li Yaqian again. Is she still innocent, her temperament, and female red, her womanhood?Li Rulan was not afraid of house fights, but if Li Yaqian hadn't returned then nothing would have happened.After all, she occupies a rightful place.

Among the four maidservants, Su Mu was the most calm with his eyes, nose, nose and heart. Danshen looked a little eager to try, while Bai Wei and Bai Zhi looked at each other. It was inevitable that the master was a little worried about his future life.

After driving for an hour, the carriage had already arrived at the mansion, Li Rulan got out of the carriage first and helped Hua Shi get out of the carriage.He couldn't help but think that after two years, he had to seek his own path in the mansion again.

When the two returned, according to common sense, they should pay a visit to the old lady, but since Ming Duan Gege was in the mansion, naturally they had to pay a visit to Ming Duan Gege first.Seeing distinguished guests, especially when you just knelt down on the bluestone slab, you will inevitably get some dust on your body, and it is not suitable to meet distinguished guests because the color of the Buddha is mainly blue ocher.

Fahrenheit went to his own yard, and just entered the courtyard gate, but Madam Liu came forward to support Fahrenheit with a smile on her face, "Congratulations, madam." Fahrenheit's pale face turned red due to the jolt of the carriage. , but I don't know where to start.

After entering the main house, fending off the idlers and others, Fahrenheit couldn't wait to ask: "My poor child, how is it?"

"Sister Qian is steady, her temper looks calm, although she is a little thinner, but her whole body looks, tsk tsk, it really came out of the wife's stomach." Liu Nanny said.

"I must have suffered a lot, so I have to make up for her." When Hua Shi heard that his daughter was thin, his eyes were full of distress, and he said: "When Prince Yu leaves the house, I will ask the female doctor to give my son Take a good look, there is also medicinal food, by the way, I have old ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and bird's nest in my warehouse, so I need to make some food and medicinal food."

Mother Liu said: "I see that sister Qian may be thinner because of her taller body. Madam, don't worry, sister Qian has returned to the mansion. From now on, there will be plenty of time."

"That's exactly the reason." Fahrenheit also calmed down, "I was a little anxious. I was in the carriage just now, and I wish I could fly back immediately. Where is Qian'er's arrangement?"

"It's in the Missy's side hall." Nanny Liu said, "It was arranged by the old lady."

Fahrenheit frowned. Although there were some daily expenses in the side hall, there were not enough things in the end, so he asked: "The old lady said that she will pack up a place for Xi'er to live in."

"It's the Flowing Water Pavilion."

Fahrenheit frowned slightly, "Let the servants take the time to clean up, but don't disturb the nobleman."

"That's exactly the reason." Nanny Liu said.

Fahrenheit walked around on the spot, Su Mu said: "Madam, I have to say hello to Mingduan."

Fahrenheit nodded, "Let's change clothes."
