Second-hand lady

Chapter 29

When Miss Rucui thought the matter of the queen mother summoning her was over, she didn't expect it to become a hot rumor in the capital the next day.After "flying on a branch and turning into a beast" and "a maidservant turning into an official and wife's gorgeous transformation", Miss Ercui became famous again, but this time her reputation was a bit cruel.

Rumors are actually rumors that have no roots. In popular terms, they are widely circulated without any basis or source.

And the thing that had to be said about Miss Rucui, the eldest princess and the second prince was spread out of the palace by someone within a day, and then became known to people in a different way. When the insider reacted, The rumor has changed, for better or worse.

And when Doctor Hu heard the murderous rumor about his nephew and granddaughter-in-law, a day had passed, and what he heard was still the bad rumor, he was immediately excited.

Imperial Physician Hu is the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and also the oldest imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, a veteran respected by the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and others.

Imperial Physician Hu, whose real name is Hu Zhengqing, is a disciple from a poor family.Although he came from a poor family, but I heard that the ancestor was a famous imperial doctor in the previous dynasty. Later, the Hu family fell and the Hu family members withered. Until his generation, only a single lineage remained.Although Imperial Physician Hu came from a poor background, he always remembered the teachings of his ancestors and devoted himself to the study of medicine.And because of this, his marriage was wasted year after year. Later, when his medical skills became better and better, he was already old, but he was still alone.Just when several relatives were worried about his marriage and began to find a matchmaker frequently to match him up, Imperial Physician Hu accidentally cured Miss Tan's old illness. Miss Tan's family, who also wasted her years due to illness, betrothed him to him.

When it comes to the Pingjin Tan family, who doesn't know this ancient family, even the royal family respects it very much.Although the young lady of their family wasted her years due to illness, she was not worthy of a doctor from a poor family, but the Tan family betrothed their young lady to Taiyi Hu regardless of the difference in status. The reasons are caused, but it is also a good talk.

Although Imperial Physician Hu has become the son-in-law of the Tan family, she has never been proud of it. Miss Tan is also a respectful and humble person. .Three years after they got married, Ms. Tan gave birth to a daughter at the age of 29. The couple loved each other like their lives.And when her daughter was born, Imperial Physician Hu also came to Beijing under the recommendation of the Tan family, and won the first class in the medical doctor examination every three years in the Imperial Hospital, successfully became an imperial doctor, and took his wife and daughter to live in the capital for a long time. .

Imperial Physician Hu has only been married to one wife in his life, and he has no concubines around him. His wife has a daughter for him. Although he has no son to inherit the mantle, he does not regret it. Except that he will bring his wife to visit the Tan family every year when he returns to Pingjin for the New Year. , his gentle and good temper made the juniors of the Tan family respect and love, and he also cherished the juniors of the Tan family as his own children.

After the daughter of Imperial Physician Hu came out of the cabinet, another young lady from the Tan family in Pingjin married to the capital and became the wife of the Duke of Zhen at that time.Mrs. Zhen Guogong is the daughter of the Tan family, and the wife of Imperial Physician Hu is also her aunt. Mrs. Zhen Guogong should also respectfully call Uncle Hu and treat him with great respect.When the two children of Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife were born, the two children were also quite close to Taiyi Hu's family.After Zhen Guogong's wife passed away, his son Wen Liang fell out with Zhen Guogong and was expelled from the house. It was also Taiyi Hu who took in the penniless boy and provided him with a place to live.

After going through ups and downs all these years, in the heart of Imperial Physician Hu, Wen Liang's brat is like his own grandson.When Wen Liang had a falling out with Old Zhen Guogong and was expelled from the house, the old man almost smashed the medical kit on Zhen Guogong's face with a flat expression. Later, after Wen Liang went to the border, Imperial Physician Hu began to worry about him again. I had to ask someone to ask about the situation for months, and I was afraid that the cynical brat would die a heroic sacrifice on the battlefield, and finally waited for North Vietnam to surrender. The brat in Wenliang finally thought about it and came back. Physician Hu just settled down Thinking that this brat should marry a daughter-in-law and settle down, who knows that something happened again, and he wanted to marry a woman from a low-born family as his wife, causing troubles all over the city, and when he came back to his senses, then The bear boy had already been granted a marriage by the emperor, and the old man was so angry that he could hardly breathe.

Well, anyway, as long as he is happy, now that his wife is married, he can live a good life, and it makes sense to have a big fat boy with his wife as soon as possible so that he can hold his great-grandson.But who knows, within a few days, something happened to that brat again, and his wife was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother for killing the royal princess and prince.

Who doesn't know that the queen mother intended to betroth the eldest princess to Wen Liang, but he fell in love with the maid next to Princess Su and slapped the queen mother in the face, and the queen mother is a face-saving person, so it's strange not to torment your daughter-in-law.The Empress Dowager summoned people into the palace, maybe the purpose was to take the opportunity to repair people.Afterwards, Imperial Physician Hu heard about it again, and it turned out that it was because the Eldest Princess and the Second Prince were injured.

The inside story was blocked, probably because the royal family didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so everyone in the palace issued a password ban, but this was enough to make Doctor Hu terrified.Hearing that the eldest princess and the second prince were injured because of Mrs. Wen, the queen mother summoned people to the palace to interrogate them.Why does it sound like Mrs. Wen killed the emperor's heir? It's no wonder the Queen Mother didn't take the opportunity to peel off your skin!
At that time, Imperial Physician Hu had just come back from get off work, and he was sitting in the hall drinking tea with his old wife. Opposite them was their granddaughter Sun Qiaoqiao, who just came up from the south of the Yangtze River to visit them the day before yesterday. The sweet pear vortex is very cute.The three grandparents and grandchildren were talking, and when they heard the news from the housekeeper, Imperial Physician Hu sprayed it on the spot, and then the confused old man got up mechanically and was about to go to Wenfu.

"Master, don't worry, I think everything will be fine." Mrs. Hu held her husband, and comforted her: "This is just a rumor outside, it's been a day, if something really happens, brother Liang That kid will make people come and talk."

Imperial Physician Hu knew about this a little too late. Yesterday, Concubine Yi of Prince Jing's Mansion fell ill, and he was invited to Prince Jing's Mansion to stay there all day. He didn't know the outside information at all, and he didn't listen to the butler's report until today.

Imperial Physician Hu was still worried, and said that he would go to Wen's mansion. Although as an elder and junior, he was not happy to see him make such a fuss, but he really regarded Wen Liang as his own grandson, and he didn't feel at ease when he saw him, for fear that the rumors were true. Yes, Wen Liang himself will suffer a lot.And because of this, I also feel dissatisfied with Wen Liang's daughter-in-law in my heart.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu couldn't persuade her, seeing her little granddaughter looking curiously at the side, she smiled and said, "I don't want to stop you from going to my concubine, let Qiaoqiao accompany you, and let her meet your new cousin. "Although Mrs. Hu also wanted to go and see it, but after all, she was too old and too tired to walk a few steps, so she couldn't do it if she wanted to, so as not to cause trouble to the people below.

After hearing this, Imperial Physician Hu saw the well-behaved and lovely granddaughter, and when he was still a little hesitant, he saw the girl smiled and said: "Grandpa, I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, let's take this opportunity to meet my cousin and my new cousin."

Physician Hu thought for a while and thought it made sense, so he nodded.

The servants quickly prepared the carriage, and the grandfather and grandson hurriedly boarded the carriage, urging the driver to go to the Grand Master's Mansion.

The carriage arrived at Wen's mansion very quickly, and not long after they entered Wen's mansion, they found that Wen's mansion was in chaos, and everyone crowded around the pond, not knowing what they were doing.

The housekeeper, Uncle Ming, quickly came over and stared at the concierge who led them in. Even the aunts and grandpas came to the door and didn't come to report that they were left here. They were really unqualified concierges.

"Steward Ming, this is..." Imperial Physician Hu frowned, very dissatisfied with the mess in front of him.

On the other hand, the girl who helped him come looked around with interest, and soon saw that the people crowded by the pond were trying to rescue those who were struggling in the pond to the shore.It is now mid-October, the weather is already cold, and the water in the pool is also tingly cold. If they are not rescued ashore early, they will get sick if they freeze.But the girl could also see that those people crowded around the pond and pushed and shoved each other, but it was of no benefit to saving people. Instead, it seemed like they were doing a disservice to the help. I'm going up" and other cries for help.

Uncle Ming bowed and said apologetically, "Old Master Hu, it's all right, it's just that a maid accidentally fell into the pond. Why are you here today? Hurry up and sit inside and drink tea, and I'll send someone to report to Madam .”

Seeing that he spoke calmly, Doctor Hu knew something was wrong, so he stopped paying attention, nodded and followed Steward Ming. When he walked across the pond, he happened to see Miss Rucui walking towards him with a few maids.

Miss Rucui was also very surprised, and immediately came over to greet the old man with a smile, and said crisply: "Grandpa Hu, why are you here? Did you miss my husband? Yesterday I told my husband that I will go to your place to visit you and you in two days." Where is Grandma Hu? Who is this younger sister? She looks really handsome."

Hearing her words, Imperial Physician Hu stiffened his face, and said: "Do you want to think about it or not, you don't inform my old man about such a big thing, you are so happy to have a leisurely life, and the noise in this mansion is also very lively, hum !"

Miss Rucui smiled good-naturedly, she didn't care, and was about to help the old doctor to the living room to have a good talk, when the maid who was rescued saw her and immediately shouted sharply: "Third Young Master Ma'am, you are so... so rude, you ignore my wife so much, I will go back and tell my wife and master that you, a daughter-in-law, disrespect your parents!"

Although she was wet all over, the clothes that the girl was wearing were of good material. She was supposed to be a girl of good status, and hearing what she said, one could guess from a few words.The expression on Taiji Hu's face immediately faded, and he left in no hurry, and turned to look at the girl.

Miss Rucui smiled, and said to the girl: "Why am I being rude? Didn't I tell you just now, it was just a misunderstanding, it's nothing, it's not worth worrying about, my husband also said that there is no need to worry about it They're gone."

The maid said angrily: "Even so, I am the big maid beside Mrs. Zhen Guogong. Even if you don't like me, you should still look at me for Madam's sake, and not let people treat me so cruelly." Pushing down the pond, what is the meaning of this? As a daughter-in-law, you are clearly disrespecting your wife..."

Hearing this, Miss Rucui came over and said in surprise, "Didn't you fall into the pond by yourself? I heard someone tell the time, so I came here in a hurry to see the situation." As she spoke, she had another expression on her face. He said sympathetically: "It seems that the weather is so cold that you can't keep your head clear. Someone, please send Ms. Miaowei back to the Duke of Zhen's mansion."

"You..." Hearing her sophistry, the maid named Miaowei almost died of anger, which is very shameless.She absolutely does not believe that the nanny who sent her out of the house did not do it on purpose, she clearly pushed her down on purpose. When she fell into the pond, she could still see the hand that the nanny did not take back in the reflection on the water. Without the master's order, how could the nanny push her for no reason?

At this time, the nanny who was considered to push people also responded: "Madam, this servant obeyed your order to send Miaowei out of the mansion, but who knows that she likes the pool in our mansion, so she insists on coming here to see it. No, the stone slab by the pool was slippery, and one accidentally fell down. Oh, it's cold, Ms. Miaowei, you should go back and change your clothes."

"So that's how it is." Miss Rucui sighed, and said sympathetically, "It's as simple as that, you really think too much, you seem to be tired, go back and let your mother give you two days off to rest and wake up brain."

Miao Wei was furious when the master and servant sang together but could not refute, she looked a little pitiful.She is the most trusted servant girl by Mrs. Zhen Guo's wife. When did she experience such idleness?
Tsing Yi and Lan Yi, who were following Ru Cui, looked at each other, and then covered their lips and snickered. This maid named Miao Wei is the big maid next to Mrs. Zhen Guo. The order to let Miss Rucui go back to the mansion to greet her and also to ask about those rumors.It is probably because she has been with Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife for a long time, and she has developed a sense of pride. She doesn't pay attention to Miss Rucui, who is also a maid. Yes, very disgusting.Seeing her drowned appearance now will only make them maids clap their hands and applaud. They are also maids, so why do you dictate to them?
Seeing that maid pointing at Ru Cui so angry, Taiyi Hu frowned deeper, and scolded: "A servant dares to point his finger at the master, this is the maid of Zhen Guogong's mansion! Hmph! "

The maid didn't know the identity of Imperial Physician Hu, and seeing him in ordinary clothes, she couldn't tell who he was, so she was naturally furious when she heard him slander the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and said angrily, "Who are you, how can you slander the town so much?" Duke? Be careful that my master is angry and punishes you!"

Doctor Hu raised his beard and said with a sneer, "So what if you're angry? I wish that kid would be angry and put on a straight face all day thinking he killed his wife?"

"...You, you, you... You actually cursed my wife..." Miao Wei was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes, her chest was bulging, and she was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.

Physician Hu relieved his anger. He always felt that the current Mrs. Zhen Guo took the position of the maid of the Tan family, so she always hated seeing her. However, after letting out a sigh of relief, she felt that being more real with a maid was to lower her status. After a cold look, he let his granddaughter help him away.

Miss Ru Cui pursed her lips and smiled, and after having the maid sent out of the house, she also went to the main hall to accompany the old man.
