As a medical concubine

Chapter 201 Family reunion (4)
In a place like the capital where every inch of land is very expensive, an ordinary two-entry courtyard can be sold for 200 taels of silver, and that is still in a very remote place.This area is a noble area, the residents are either rich or expensive, so it is so cheap? !
Hua Zhu raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "Who sold it? Who was the original owner?"

Nian Zhengyuan grinned from ear to ear: "A merchant surnamed Gao, they were going to move back to their hometown in Shudi, and they sold it to me in a hurry. Haha, why do you think my luck is so good?"

First, someone recommended his father as the minister of punishment, and then someone sold his father's mansion at a price of absolute loss.These... are they really just luck?The more Hua Zhu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. If Liao Zicheng was involved in this matter, she would probably believe it. After all, his ability lies there.But... It's not that she has to be angry with others to destroy her prestige, but that if the ability to solve cases is used as an important assessment standard, her father is definitely a bad product among criminal officers.

So, what does the man behind the scenes want from his father, or from the Nian family?
On March 29, Yu Shishi posted a post to the eldest lady, inviting her to take her three little cousins ​​to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.The Royal Garden is located in a palace surrounded by mountains to the north of Chang'an Avenue. The Empress Dowager and the Holy Majesty go there every year to escape the summer heat, but the palace is open to the public every spring and autumn, allowing tourists to visit.

However, visiting by yourself is very different from visiting with the family members of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion.The eldest lady happily took the daughters into the carriage.

Nian Lizhu was dressed up in fancy dress, sitting next to the eldest lady in a stately manner, with every frown, smile, and every move she made, she had the demeanor of a lady.I heard that Aunt Mei secretly paid a lot of money to hire Madam Xi to teach Nian Lizhu. Judging from the current situation, the effect is good.

Compared with Nian Lizhu's immediate results, Nian Xizhu's weight loss is undoubtedly a failure.The eldest lady didn't let her eat more, so she ate pastries after returning to the house.After the eldest lady found out that even her pastries were banned, she ran to Nian Zhengyuan's study, crying and complaining that she was hungry.Nian Zhengyuan is soft-hearted, and his father always thinks that his daughter looks like a fairy, so he doesn't think that she will not be able to marry because of this.No, after a while, Huazhu felt that Nian Xizhu had gained weight.

The carriage drove past Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, which was originally the residence of a lieutenant of the Shence Army, and lived there was the longest serving lieutenant of the Shence Army in the history of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He once protected three emperors with one hundred thousand Shence Army. The elders of the three dynasties who were deducted.During his time in power, the development of the Shence Army reached its peak, and even the emperor could be dethroned.

As the saying goes, when things are extreme, they will be reversed, and when the moon is full, they will lose money. The omnipotent Shence Army has not escaped the bad luck of decline.The position of lieutenant in the Shence Army is not suitable for non-eunuchs. No matter how powerful the lieutenant was, he could not leave a son and a half.Later, he followed the example of other eunuchs and adopted several children among the people, intending to take care of himself until his death.It's a pity that one of the sons became rebellious, stole his military talisman, and led the shence army into the palace to force the emperor to step down.

That time, by coincidence, the old general Ran, who was still a young man, was on the king's right side.The old general Ran made a decisive decision, drew his sword and cut off the head of the traitor, and led the guards of Ran's family into the mansion, killing the lieutenant.The Shence Army has no leader, and gradually went downhill.Up to now, the Shence Army has become useless.On the contrary, the Ran family who pushed the Shence Army out of the political arena gradually ascended to the throne of the most powerful person in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Therefore, there are rumors among the people that the reason why the Xiangyang Hou Mansion rose overnight was because they were married to the Ran family.

The carriage traveled for another distance and turned into a narrow alley. At the end of the alley was an open space, where many gorgeous carriages were parked, including those of the Marquis of Xiangyang.

The mother in charge of Xiangyang Hou's Mansion recognized the Nian's carriage and walked over with a smile: "Mrs. Nian, Miss Nian!"

The coachman opened the curtain for the eldest lady, and the eldest lady and the three daughters got out of the carriage, and rewarded the mother with a purse containing silver.

The mother said with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Nian is coming back to Bifang Garden for the first time. The old lady and the eldest aunt are enjoying the flowers in the garden. I will ask someone to take you and the daughters there!"

"Thank you." After all, she is the daughter of the Yan family, and the eldest lady's appearance and bearing are not inferior to the noble ladies who have lived in the capital for a long time.

A little maid in pink trousers led them to the garden near Bifangzhai. In a sea of ​​flowers, Mrs. Yu was leaning on a big bench with thick cushions. A beautiful young woman in goose yellow and white pear flower bedding, apricot short spring dress and plain white skirt.She held the old matriarch's arm and said something with a smile, which made the old matriarch laugh out loud.

Sitting on the other side of the old lady, a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman in a light green Huajin skirt, covered her face with a handkerchief, and smiled softly.

"Old Madam, Mrs. Nian and Miss Nian are here." The servant girl stepped forward and reported respectfully.

The old lady hurriedly turned her head, looked at Da Furen and the three Huazhu sisters with a smile, and waved: "Come on, come on, let me have a look."

The eldest lady stepped forward to salute the old matriarch, but the old matriarch scolded her: "I'm not looking at you, what's so good about you when you're old?"

The eldest lady knew that the old lady didn't want her to be polite, so she smiled and said: "Huazhu, Lizhu, Xizhu, come and pay respects to the old lady, Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Shizi."

The three of Hua Zhu stepped forward and saluted politely: "Hello old lady, Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Shizi."

The smiling eyes of the old matriarch swept across the three young girls exuding a youthful atmosphere, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly when she saw Nian Xizhu, she was too fat, how did she manage it?Then he looked at Huazhu and Lizhu: "They are all sweet children, much better than those monkeys in my family."

It is about the child of Shizi and Shizi's wife.

Mrs. Shizi smiled, took out three small golden locks and handed them to Hua Zhu, Nian Lizhu and Nian Xizhu: "Who are you? How old are you? I can hardly tell the difference."

The three reported their names and ages in turn.

Mrs. Shizi took Hua Zhu's hand, smiled at the old matriarch and Madam Hou, and said, "Look, this is the girl who smashed my second younger brother's signboard! She is only fourteen, three years older than my son, and the third-year-old girl holds a gold medal." Zhuan, if the old ancestor is in charge, let her be my daughter-in-law!"

Everyone in the garden laughed.

"You, you!" The old matriarch pointed at her, angry and funny, looked at the lady and said, "Don't be scared by her, nine out of ten girls in the capital have been kissed by her. She just like this Temper, I'm afraid my great-grandson won't find a wife in the future!"
