As a medical concubine

Chapter 168 The Way to Propose Marriage at Home (4)
uncomfortable?I'm afraid I will lose face.At the banquet in the admiral's mansion, everyone said that the crown prince was going to make him a side concubine. In a blink of an eye, the crown prince ran away, and Yan Shu became an after-dinner conversation topic in the teahouse.Nian Jiangzhu smiled and stopped talking to You Shi.

Yu Bin's smiling eyes glanced at Nian Crimson Pearl and cast it on Hua Zhu. The girl was petite, with snow-white skin, bright clothes, simple hair accessories, and her eyes were as bright and moving as clear springs under the moonlight.Does such a porcelain doll really have such powerful abilities?Yu Bin squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "I heard about my cousin's deeds when I was in the capital. I thought my cousin was about the same age as Hua'er, but I didn't expect her to be so young."

Although he smiled very kindly and gently, like a brother next door, there was still an inexplicable pressure in Huazhu's heart.Shaking her head, Huazhu smiled politely: "My cousin-in-law is absurd."

Yu Shishi smiled and shook her head: "You guys, I'm so ashamed that Hua'er doesn't even dare to lift her head."

Only then did Huazhu look at Yan Hua again, Yan Hua did lower her head slightly, as if she was very shy, her slim figure was wrapped in a rose-red narrow-waisted long jacket, and she seemed to grow a little taller.She held a green purse in her hands and placed it gently in front of her abdomen.Huazhu thought of the jade unicorn fan pendant that Qiaoer had picked up. The jade was of excellent quality and exquisite workmanship. It was a little strange that Yanhua, who loves to show off, never showed it off.

"Is Hua'er not feeling well?" Yu Bin poured a cup of warm water himself, walked to the top of the kang, and handed the teacup to Yan Hua.

Yan Hua touched her slightly pale face, took the teacup, and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Yu, I'm fine."

Youshi joked: "Hua'er is shy, brother-in-law, stop teasing her, she will pass out in a moment, but you will be rewarded!"

"Your mouth!" The old lady smiled and glared at Youshi.

Here, after looking around, Yu Bin asked again, "Why don't you see your wife?"

The old lady's smile froze, and she said kindly: "I went to the temple to fulfill my vows. You came suddenly. If you had given us a letter earlier, I would have brought her back earlier."

Yu Bin smiled warmly: "I was the one who was abrupt."

Later, Yu Bin gave greetings to everyone one by one, and conveyed greetings from the Marquis of Xiangyang and Mrs. Hou.The old lady was happy, and kept him and Yan Hua for dinner, and the rest of them all went back to their respective yards.

After eating, Yu Bin took a pair of warm jade chessboards to visit Yan Shuo in the Little Champs. Yan Shuo's health got worse and he slept more and more every day. Yu Bin sat in front of the bed for a full hour Only waited until he woke up.

"Yu Bin." Yan Shuo smiled weakly, and sat up straight with Yu Shishi's help, "When will you be there?"

"This morning." Yu Bin put the chessboard on the bedside table, took a cup of tea from Yu Shishi and handed it to Yan Shuo, "When my brother-in-law recovers, I will accompany him to kill a few games."

Yan Shuo glanced at the Nuanyu chessboard, and chuckled: "Okay, then you can stay for a few more days. Are you here to propose marriage?"

Yu Bin nodded: "Yes, the specific date of the wedding will be discussed after Mrs. Yan and his wife come back. During this time, I will bother you."

Yan Shuo drank the tea and handed the cup back to Yu Bin: "The family doesn't talk about each other. Anyway, you have nothing to do. Ask your sister to take you around the street. You are greedy, and you like to fill the streets the most. Looking for something to eat. How are father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Yu Bin replied with a pleasant face: "It's all good, tell me to tell my brother-in-law to take care of his illness, and when he is healthy, go to Beijing to play."

A very bright smile appeared on Yan Shuo's pale face, like a beam of bright spring sun hitting the green bamboo and green pine: "I feel much better recently, maybe I can be with you when you return to Beijing this time."

Yu Bin looked at his forehead that was sweating profusely after sitting for a while, lowered his eyes to cover up the emotions that might burst out from his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again to look at him, there was no abnormality: "Okay, then let's go together!"

Yan Shuo couldn't help but fell asleep not long after waking up.

Yu Bin hugged him and gently laid him flat, pulled the quilt over him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck with a handkerchief. In a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Yu Shishi standing at the door holding the medicine: "Sister."

Yu Shishi's eye circles were slightly red, she sighed, and said with a forced smile: "I fell asleep so quickly, I didn't even drink the medicine."

Yu Bin looked at the medicine in Yu Shishi's bowl, then at her hands that were rough from cooking and boiling medicine, his eyes dimmed: "This is how you came here all these years? Yan's mansion even has a medicine maker Is there no maid too?"

"Hush—" Yu Shishi gestured for silence, and pulled Yu Bin back to her room.After Yu Bin sat down and she put down the medicine bowl, her face darkened, and she reproached, "You're getting older, but you don't know how to behave."

Yu Bin shook his body embarrassingly, and muttered: "I feel sorry for you. The good daughter of the Hou family has become a cook. There were so many suitors back then, you didn't choose anyone, but you chose a sick child. Those years have passed, and I haven't even conceived a child. Every time my mother thinks of you who are far away in Langya, she sheds tears, and she doesn't see you coming back during the holidays."

Yu Shishi's eyes were red, and tears fell down: "You should do your filial piety in front of my mother for me, I will not be able to repay her in this life, let's do it in the next life."

"You women like to say nonsense about the next life." Yu Bin frowned, seeing his sister's tears, and regretted what he said just now, "Don't cry, just go back to the capital to visit your mother when you have time."

Yu Shishi wiped away tears.

Yu Bin stood up and began to look at her warm pavilion, including pineapple wood hollow furniture, cabinets, Duobaoge, desks, stools, and a small flowerbed with several pots of orchids.Among them is a pot of bright-colored ink orchids. The stamens are not the usual yellow, but white with a little purple, which is matched with the purple-brown sepals, which looks like a girl's dreamy and moving.

"How did you grow this kind of Molan?" Yu Bin asked curiously.

"I didn't plant this, it's..." It's hard to say that it was "stolen" from the Admiral's Mansion, after all, it was too disgraceful, so I changed my words, "Bought it when I came across it in the market by chance. The second aunt is still there." When I was in the Hou Mansion, I saw her plant something like this once..."

Yu Bin interrupted her seriously: "She is no longer our second aunt."

Yu Shishi lowered her eyes and smiled mischievously: "Yes, she has reconciled with her second uncle." At that time, Yu Bin was not yet born, so she had no feelings for her second aunt, but her entire childhood was almost accompanied by her second aunt. During the time spent, she regarded her second aunt as her mother, and even after so many years, she still misses her second aunt very much.
