The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 244

Yu An soon entered Mingde Hall.

She and Yu Ping Yuqiao had already moved back to live in Lutianyin not long after the "funeral" came out.Although neither of the two little girls had chickenpox, neither complained about the elders' decision.

However, this incident has a far-reaching impact on the two little girls. No one needs to warn Yu Ping and Yu An in front of outsiders. They all have pain on their faces. It seems that they have never had any doubts about Qiao's death. Have.

Seven Niangzi focused on Anjin's door and saw that there was a white velvet flower pinned on her head. She couldn't help feeling mixed feelings: Although Ping Guogong's actions were too heartless, it was indeed a strong man who cut off his wrists. Otherwise, the lives of these two girls' families would be ruined It will be ruined in the hands of Qiao.

She pushed aside all the messy emotions in her heart, showed a friendly smile, and waved to Yu An. "Come, sit down beside me. I gave your second sister a wake-up call a few days ago, are you exhausted?"

When Yu Qiao passed away, the marriage with Fan’s family had not yet been settled, so there was no husband’s family. The brothers and sisters were expected to watch the spirit in shifts, but the sisters-in-law were busy, and the brothers were even busier. Yu Ning and Yu Tai took the initiative to defend Yu Qiao through the first seven.

Yu An smiled and shook his head, and turned to care about Qin Niangzi, "We are fine, just sitting in front of the coffin. But Liu Sister-in-law, it happened suddenly... she was so busy that she was so busy, I'm afraid I still have to call a doctor Come get a pulse of peace."

Qin Niangzi touched her face, and couldn't help laughing at herself, "If you're so busy, how can you still care about your face?"

The two looked at each other, and there was an unspeakable tacit understanding. They couldn't help but smiled wryly, and Yu An asked carefully, "When my son was summoning his soul, I was thinking, I don't know where the second sister's soul is... …Is there any news, the underground knows, knowing that the relatives are so mournful, what will they think.”

This is to ask Qin Niangzi tactfully if Yu Qiao has been found.

Although Ping Guogong announced Yu Qiao's death, it is absolutely impossible to cut off the hope of finding Yu Qiao's whereabouts just like this. Even during this period of time, his soldiers have been active more frequently. ——Everyone lives under the same roof, Yu An just guessed, and I'm afraid he can also guess that Ping Guogong will not give up on this.

Qin Niangzi thought for a while, and answered Yu An seriously, "Don't say that the world is so big, there is nowhere to find a ray of soul, even if she can find the way home, I'm afraid... your second sister's temper, You know best."

On Yu An's delicate face, there was a deep sadness immediately.

Although Yu Qiao's life and death are uncertain now, to the Xu family, she is indeed 'dead'.The best and the best ending, she and her sweetheart settled down in a certain place, and reunited with her sisters in a different place after the second time, but she was no longer a person from the same world.

"Second Sister, why did Second Sister..." She swallowed a few times before swallowing the blockage in her throat, "Oh, that's fine, I'd rather not know her whereabouts than to be found by... .”

Seventh Lady's heart skipped a beat.

Yu An's mind is also considered delicate, although sometimes he lacks a bit of astuteness, but he is still accurate in judging people.

For Ping Guogong, her understanding will only be deeper than her own.

"Tell me, if...if your second sister's soul is found by the Duke—" she drawled her tone.

A trace of panic flashed across Yu An's face. She looked around, then lowered her voice, smiled wryly and shook her head. "Being promiscuous and losing virginity is hard to be tolerated in the clan, not to mention that the identity of that person may not be very glorious. It is still a trivial matter to beat a mandarin duck with a club. I am afraid that it is for the sake of the second sister Quan..."

She pointed to a knife and pulled gently between her throats.

Qin Niangzi suddenly thought of the three of Xiaoliujiang, and she immediately shuddered, "Don't mention this matter again in the future."

Yu An also nodded with concern, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Yu An knows the seriousness."

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the room fell silent.Yu Andong looked around, looked at the sky outside the window, and sometimes lowered his head to caress the sachet jade pendant on the skirt, but he was a little more frizzy than before.

Qin Niangzi saw it in her eyes, and suddenly felt a little more relaxed.

No matter where Yu Qiao went, in the end, she was pursuing the life she wanted. Although this approach was extremely irresponsible and indirectly affected the lives of three people, it was also Yu Qiao's own debt.

Who knows whether her choice is right or wrong?It is impossible for anyone to know.Although there are a lot of coldness and ugliness in this world, there are still some people who will exhaust all the resources around them and work hard towards their ideals.

"Why did I come to talk to you today, Fifth Sister knows well, right?" Her tone finally brought a trace of relief.

Yu An blushed instantly.

But she didn't avoid Qin Niangzi's jokes, but said in a voice like a gnat, "Guess, I guessed a little..."

Biting her lower lip again, pointing her toes at the canthus, she said softly, "However, this matter depends on what the Fan family says..."

"The Fan family is only after July [-], so they are ashamed to mention this matter." Qin Niangzi said calmly, "No matter what the reason is, it is their honor that we are willing to marry the Fan family. Unfortunately, Yu Qiao passed away. Afterwards, she was willing to marry another daughter. This is not a small face. When the uncle of the Fan family came to offer incense to Yu Qiao, he had already asked his father in private, saying that according to the Yangzhou practice, if the elder sister passed away, if there is any Most of the younger sisters who haven't spoken about their relationship are married on behalf of the older sister—"

Yu An's face was burning red, she lowered her head and said softly, "But there is still the third sister in front..."

Just by looking at Yu An's words, one can tell that she is very willing and eager to marry into Fan's family.

Qi Niang cheered up, held Yu An's hand, and asked in a low voice, "I heard from the fourth sister-in-law that Yu Ping doesn't think much of the Fan family's family status, and thinks that the second young master is just a juror. You see, she usually talks about it. Get up, is that what you mean?"

Yu An's face was almost buried in his legs, and after a long time, he nodded vaguely, "When the third sister talked with the second sister in the past, the implication was that she didn't like Fan very much. Home."

Seventh Lady couldn't help smiling.

She told Yu An carefully, "When your third sister asks you, don't act like you want to marry, but don't talk too badly about the Fan family, just take it lightly. When the time is right, I will naturally speak for you, if there is a fate, Yu Ping looks down on the Fan family, there are nine out of ten chances that this will happen in the end."

Yu An nodded, and then asked Qin Niangzi, "The second young master of the Fan family, sister-in-law, does my sister-in-law know how his temper is... is it... is it..."

She became noisy abnormally and pestered Seventh Lady to ask countless questions about Fan's family. When it was getting late and Shiro and Wulang came back from the school, they reluctantly got up and said goodbye.

Qiniangzi sent Yu An away, and was entangled by Shiro and Wulang again when she turned around. The two children have made some achievements in writing recently. Better than my younger brother!"

Seventh Lady hurriedly put on her blouse, and accompanied the two children to write a few words: Immediately, she was thrown all over the ink again.After finally waiting for the spring equinox of Guyu to coax the little ancestors away, she stood up with a smile on her face, let Xiao Huangpu and others take off her blouse, and arranged for someone to wash it without mentioning it.

After dinner was ready, Xu Fengjia also went back to the house to wash in the West Third Room. Seventh Lady called Xia Yuan over again and asked her, "Have the children grown taller this month? Are they heavier?"

Since the children were one year old, Seventh Lady ordered everyone to measure the height and weight of the two children once a month in order to record their growth.Xia Yuan was looking for the answer, when someone came to report, "Our young lady asked Mrs. Shizi if there are perilla leaves in the small kitchen here. If so, I would like to take one or two bunches back. It is said that my stomach has been sick since the afternoon. Comfortable, the doctor said that it is best to eat a few dishes mixed with perilla leaves. It happens that we usually don’t eat perilla, so I really don’t know where to find it for a while!”

The Fourth Young Madam really did all kinds of tricks to secure this baby. The Seventh Lady paid attention to the Dragon Boat Festival, and when she saw that the Dragon Boat Festival knew how to go out, she smiled, "She went to ask, if there is one, there is one, and she didn't send someone to the street to buy it. If you ask around, you can always find it.”

When she got busy, she felt a lot of irony in her heart. Thinking of Yu An's shy and happy look in the afternoon, she couldn't help but put a faint smile on her lips. In the midst of her busy schedule, she called Xu Fengjia, "Go and see." Sons, write with them too!"

Xu Fengjia made a grimace, "I just took a shower and asked me to get my body covered in ink? No, no."

He walked to Seventh Lady's side, stretched his waist, and then asked lazily, "Why, it's almost the end of dinner, who is so bold to come to you?"

The mother under the fourth young lady's hand was a little bit embarrassed, and she covered her smile and said, "It's also because the servants didn't think carefully. In fact, just ask the sisters below about this matter."

Seventh Lady gave Xu Fengjia a blank look, and then smiled, "It's not like that, of course the fourth sister-in-law's pregnancy must not be delayed, mother will sit outside and drink tea, and when she has a letter, she will send someone to let you know. "

When the mother went down, she complained to Xu Fengjia, "I really know what to ask. Fourth sister-in-law rarely has a baby, so let her torment, how long can she torment? But you still have to rush to run on others, but tomorrow, fourth brother sees you, and wants to give birth again." I'm sorry."

Xu Fengjia didn't take it seriously, "It's not that there is no fourth generation in this mansion. My sister-in-law is pregnant with several children, and she is not as troubled as she is. Let me say a few words, she can't stand it. She looks for you day and night, and you will suffer." Got it?——Your face is tired! Just in time, I heard from Feng Zixiu that Quan Ziyin is ready to leave the palace. Tomorrow, you can talk to your sister-in-law and ask him to come to help you. Prescribe a few safe recipes for you to eat."

Seventh Lady's expression flickered, "So..."

"The root cause of the disease has been found, and the genius doctor will take some measures. The crown prince's body is much healthier." Xu Fengjia restrained her expression, she couldn't see any joy or anger, paused, and added, "At least, looking at it now, Much healthier."

Looking at the four words now, Xu Fengjia also bites hard.

Qin Niangzi's heart skipped a beat, she exchanged a look with Xu Fengjia, and sighed again.

"Forget it, it's best for us if the prince can keep it." She whispered, "It's also the best for Sixth Sister."

While she was talking, Li Xia opened the door and came in, turned around and saw Xu Fengjia, she was startled.She glanced at Xu Fengjia uneasily, leaned closer to Qin Niangzi's ear and whispered, "The matter has been settled... about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there will be a result."

When Qiniangzi saw Li Xia, her heart sank, and after hearing this, she was in a trance for a moment, and then she forced herself to suppress the thoughts in her heart, nodded indiscriminately, and said with a smile, "It's over... that's fine. "

Seeing Xu Fengjia frowning and looking at herself, she turned around and said with a smile, "Let's eat the perilla leaves for the Dragon Boat Festival! We've been busy all afternoon, and we're starving to death."

Having said that, Seventh Lady only ate a few mouthfuls of rice that night, and couldn't eat any more.

For the next two or three days, she didn't sleep well, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, she developed a low-grade fever.Dr. Zhong was invited to prescribe two medicines, and the next day, Quan Zhongbai came to consult Qiniangzi.

#
Ever since Wu Niangzi had a quick meeting in Mingde Hall on the day of Wu Niangzi's death, Qi Niangzi had never seen Quan Zhongbai again.Counting on her fingers, she has not been able to admire the demeanor of this Wei and Jin prince for three or four years.It's just that it's rare to see each other this time, and being sick again, I just feel dizzy, just glanced at Quan Zhongbai, then lowered my head and coughed again, and couldn't talk for a while.

Because Xu Fengjia went to Yanyunwei to work again, and there were only Lixia Shangyuan and others guarding the house. Quan Zhongbai entered the door, glanced left and right, and smiled at Qin Niangzi, "The two maids around Mrs. Shizi have been there for many years. Nothing has changed."

Of course, he and Li Xia had met each other a long time ago, but he didn't expect that such a small person could be remembered by Quan Zhongbai in his heart.

When the two met, the atmosphere was a bit awkward: after all, the last time they met was really not pleasant.But Quan Zhongbai's words made Qiniangzi a little less embarrassed. She half sat up, coughed lightly, and then teased Quan Zhongbai, "They all have seen the demeanor of a genius doctor, and they are all closely guarded." Be by my side, so that no one will stand in my way when the genius doctor blames me again."

Because Seventh Lady is already married, and the two can be regarded as relatives-in-law, there is no need to be as cautious as when they were not married.Quan Zhongbai laughed loudly, "Mrs. Shizi is still so funny!"

He is getting older, and now he is standing close to him. The youthfulness of his youth has gradually faded even the last shadow, and there is a little wind and frost between his brows. It's just that during this smile, the back then was smeared like ink and wash. The romantic meaning is still fully displayed.

Seventh Lady smiled, and said some polite words to Quan Zhongbai, and praised Quan Ruiyun, "He is really a virtuous person, if we don't have younger siblings to support us, we can't rest assured."

She looked at Quan Zhongbai and bent her eyes, then thanked him, "There is also the matter of the sixth sister, I also want to thank Mr. Quan for his kindness and kindness!"

She spoke vaguely, and Quan Zhongbai answered vaguely, "It's all his own business, nothing to do."

When he mentioned the palace affairs, his eyebrows showed a little tiredness, "Hey, let's not talk about the troublesome things. Mrs. Shizi always sleeps and eats well?"

They are all 28 years old, and this almost rude frankness still hasn't washed away.

"Eating well, sleeping... not sleeping well." Seventh Lady didn't mean to hide her illness either. "It's just that I have something on my mind these few days, so I didn't sleep well. I still slept soundly."

Quan Zhongbai raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qiniangzi, leaned over and lifted her eyelids to look, then stretched out two fingers in deep thought, and slowly put them on Qiniangzi's wrist.

Different from before, this time, he took it very carefully, pressed his long fingers tightly on Qiniangzi's pulse, closed his eyes and remained silent for a whole stick of incense, then slowly let go of his hand, and said softly, "Mr. Madam's health is much better than before."

As soon as these words came out, Lixia and Shangyuan naturally burst into smiles, even Qin Niangzi felt a lot relieved.Quan Zhongbai glanced at her, and said, "With the former body of the young lady, not to mention having children, but whether she can live past the age of 40 are two things to talk about... The mood is gloomy, and there are many things on my mind. If things go on like this , after the age of 30, the vitality in the body gradually weakened, the stagnant energy clumped together, and the body became weaker. Step by step, many things are unclear. Now I see that the young lady's brows are a little brighter, even the pulse condition is not clear. It is much more powerful than before, no longer intermittent, weak and weak."

He congratulated Seventh Lady, "Since I felt the pulse of the young lady, this is the first time I want to praise the young lady. I must have taken good care of it in the past few years."

He glanced at the saber next to the wall again, and smiled meaningfully, "I just saw that the major general went to the Yang family to find his younger sister because of the illness of the young lady, so I knew that the young lady must be in harmony after marriage." ——This yang energy is sufficient, as long as it is moderate, the young lady's vitality will become stronger and stronger."

Even in the city of Qin Niangzi, she couldn't help but blush in Quan Zhongbai's smile and dare not speak out, partly because of the demeanor in Quan Zhongbai's smile, and partly because of Xu Fengjia who was not in front of her.

Quan Zhongbai changed the subject and said again, "But..."
