As a medical concubine

Chapter 100
As night falls, the stars shine.

In the Bixiao Hall, the main hall of the Xingqin Villa, the family members of the Yan family sit around the Eight Immortals table, on which there are all kinds of exquisite snacks, such as lychee and red bean cake, osmanthus cloud slice cake, almond mochi, green onion roll cake, coconut milk shrimp ball... And a pot of Biluochun, a pot of rose tea, and a pot of ginger milk.

The maids in brand-new costumes were busy in the hall, and it seemed that they were all festive.

On the open space directly opposite the gate, a stage high as one person was set up. While setting up the set for the buddies, the troupe master ordered the musicians to tune the tunes, and at the same time picked up the shady scene on the side, asking the Huadans if they were ready.

A Huadan asked, "Where is Liu Yaoer? Why hasn't he come yet? Without him, how would the play be performed?"

The class leader said: "Liu Yao'er has a stomachache, let's go to other plays first, and "Congjun Ji" will be postponed."

On the other side, the musician said: "No, class leader, Liu Yaoer took my sheet music, so he probably wiped his ass with my sheet music again? He has wiped several sheets this month! If this continues, Class leader, you have to make up my wages! Is it easy for me to write a sheet music?"

The head teacher walked over and kicked the musician, and yelled, "Shut up! Don't even look at this place! Keep your mouth clean!"

Huazhu walked past the stage holding Nian Jiangzhu's hand, just in time to hear their noise, Huazhu chuckled, thinking that Liuyao'er was quite interesting.

"Langya's well-known troupe has several performances a day. Today it's over in our residence, and it's time for Qian's performance." Nian Jiangzhu explained to Huazhu with a smile.

Huazhu noticed that Nian Jiangzhu's eyes were particularly bright when she mentioned the troupe, and she couldn't help asking: "When did you become fond of listening to opera?"

Nian Jiangzhu gave her an angry look: "Where is it that I love to listen to operas? Since the death of the third master, our house has not been so lively for many years. Your brother-in-law and I have not been invited to hire an opera troupe. Behind, the second bedroom The two children were born, full moon, and one year old, and there was not much excitement."

This shows that the father-in-law attaches great importance to her sons.So, she's happy.

Huazhu sized up Nian Jiangzhu, since she was happy, why did she dress so plainly?Could it be because of a quarrel with Yan Bo?Not quite.Hua Zhu shook her head, then looked back at the stage: "There seem to be quite a few people."

Nian Jiangzhu smiled and said: "Yes, Huadan, musicians, Xiaosheng... Anyway, there are as many as 27 people in total. The fare alone has cost the Yan family a lot."

"How do you know it's 27?"

"The concierge is registered."

"You have started to take charge again?" Huazhu raised her eyebrows, is it too fast?Just finished confinement.

Nian Jiangzhu smiled lightly, as if there was a kind of unruly mockery and sarcasm: "My wife is busy fighting with Aunt Lin now, so I don't have time to take care of the affairs of the house, so I sent the pair of cards to my room two days ago."

To say that Aunt Lin is also very powerful, she has a son and a daughter, and married a capable daughter-in-law like Youshi, and this year is over forty, and she is still standing tall in the back house of the cloud of beauties.I never see her come out to dance, but Yan Kuan spends five or six nights in her room every month.

Thinking of this, Hua Zhu cast her eyes involuntarily into the hall, and began to search for the figures of You Shi and Yan Shu.

Yan Shu didn't know where to go to play, Youshi was wearing a royal blue short jacket, a snake gold step shaker and an emerald jade flower hairpin on her head, and a light makeup powder on her goose egg face, which reflected slightly under the reflection of candlelight and night pearls. Particle-like silver light, she raised her hand, and the two gold inlaid jade bracelets touched each other lightly, as if there was a crisp sound.Yu Shi beside her was attracted, looked down at her bright wrist, and said something with a smile, Huazhu was far away, but couldn't hear clearly.

"Oh, is this a style from the capital?" Yu Shi asked You Shi with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Youshi and Yushi are both from the capital city, and Youshi's family is an imperial merchant, dealing in jewelry, jade, silk and tea on the surface, but secretly selling private salt and mining mines.But the You family didn't do business in the past. They were farmers. Their ancestors left five hills and a piece of land, where they usually grow tea.In the 38th year of Emperor Youcheng, Northern Qi fought fiercely with the Hu State, and the war lasted for eighteen months, which cost a lot of money and led to the emptiness of the national treasury.Youshi's grandfather accidentally planted a tree and dug up a pile of strangely colored soil. After looking for someone to identify it, he found out that it was a gold mine.Mrs. You made a decisive decision and donated the assets to the Northern Qi royal family free of charge.

Later, Northern Qi defeated the Hu State, and Emperor Youcheng not only rewarded Mrs. You, but also made him an imperial merchant.

The Yan family was rich and powerful, and You's dowry can be said to have added a lot of color.

As for the Yu family, her status is relatively high, she is the daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang.

But the fortune of the Marquis of Xiangyang is quite bizarre, as if everyone has never heard of this character, and suddenly one day, he grew out of the ground.And with an absolute advantage, they bombarded the elite circle in the capital. Apart from the Shen family and the Ran family, there was no other family that could compete with the Marquis of Xiangyang.

Youshi took off the bracelet, put it on Yushi's hand, and said with a smile, "It's a new style in Beijing."

Yu took it off and put it back on her hand: "I only said it was beautiful, but I didn't ask you to ask for it. Is it the appearance of Princess Changle?"

"Isn't it her? Whatever clothes and jewelry she wears, the next day she will become the object of imitation in the whole capital." Youshi helped Zhuhua on the temples, "However, it took a year for Xing to come to Langya. Later." It means that she is always at the forefront of trends.

At this time, five-year-old Yan Hengzhi and four-year-old Yan Hui ran into Youshi's arms playing together, coquettishly called "Auntie" and "Mother" softly, and grabbed a handful of fruit. I ran to the side to play again.

Seeing the envy in Yu's eyes, You Shi sighed sweetly, "Mr. Chen Ge's youngest son got into trouble again. He was caught visiting brothels, and the people from the Beijing Defense Department locked him up for a while." All night, he was so angry that he killed a guard when he came out, and he was said to be beheaded."

Mrs. Yu sighed slightly: "Alas! The elder Chen Ge was a wise man who devoted half his life to the elites of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but he didn't expect that he didn't even leave a seedling in the end."

Youshi took a piece of chestnut cake: "Don't say that, isn't the son-in-law his son?"

Yu said with a faint smile: "Consort? The son-in-law's child has to be named Helian after the princess. The line of the Chen family has been completely cut off."
