The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 82 082 Siblings (1st update)

After returning to the Hou Mansion, she first changed her clothes, washed off the makeup on her skin, and then went to the main courtyard carrying a basket of plums.

Aunt Chen wisely went to look after the door for them, and Chu Qianchen told Shen what happened in general, in order to make her feel at ease.

Shen looked at Chu Qianchen who looked calm with complicated eyes.

This girl is only thirteen years old, but she is not afraid of danger and is not shocked by honor or disgrace. She has not experienced much at this age, but she can have such a transparent mind and tolerance.

"You girl..." Shen sighed with emotion.

In the past, she thought Chu Qianchen was weak-tempered, but in fact, this girl was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.

In any case, since the emperor has sealed Jishi Hall as a national medical center, this matter has been successfully resolved. Otherwise, it is inevitable that people like Zhongyong Bo and Chu Qianling would go to Jishi Hall to provoke trouble.

Although Sister Chen is not afraid of getting into trouble, it is better to do less than to do more.

A little girl is supposed to live a carefree life, with nothing to worry about, and her parents and elders paving the way for everything, but Chu Qianchen has forced herself to this point, which is a last resort...

Thinking of Chu Qianchen's situation in the Hou Mansion, Shen felt an inexplicable heartache and sadness.

"Sister Chen..."

Mrs. Shen took one of Chu Qianchen's hands and stared into her beautiful phoenix eyes. She wanted to say something to her, but was interrupted by a lively child's voice from outside: "Mother Chen, Chu Qianchen Is it coming?"

"Where is she? Is she in there with my mother..."

Before Nanny Chen could tell her, the Xiang Fei curtain had been roughly lifted up by a small hand, and a short blue figure rushed in like a gust of wind.

Chu Yunmu met Shen's disapproving eyes at a glance, quickly slowed down his steps and stuck out his tongue.

He walked towards the Arhat's bed in an orderly manner, and bowed to the two of them in a decent manner.

"mother."

"Second sister."

When Chu Yunmu pretends to be good, there is no fault of his rules and etiquette.

Chu Yunmu smiled obediently at Mrs. Shen, "Mom, I just finished my homework. Can I go play with my second sister for a while?"

He blinked his **** and white eyes with an expectant look on his face, just like the thin dog he raised.

Just looking at him like this, the corners of Chu Qianchen's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were soft and lively.

Looking at the two of them, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but smile. With a gentle look on her face, she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. However, if you don't do your homework well, I won't agree to it next time..."

"Mom, don't worry!" Chu Yunmu patted his chest and assured.

Seeing her son's vow, Mrs. Shen's smile deepened.

Chu Yunmu's head was numb when his mother looked at him, and he always felt that her mother seemed to have some idea to trick him.

Probably not?

He is my mother’s favorite brother Mu!

Chu Yunmu was still young and had a wild temper, so he quickly put this idea behind him. He took Chu Qianchen's left hand and pulled her out happily.

After leaving the main courtyard, Chu Yunmu revealed his real plan: "Chu...Second sister, let's go practice archery!"

Ever since Chu Qianchen showed off her archery skills the day before yesterday, Chu Yunmu had admired her so much that he always wanted to learn bow and arrow from her. Last night, he dreamed that he had perfected archery and became the number one scholar in martial arts.

Thinking of the scenes in the dream, Chu Yunmu's eyes were bright, brighter than black gems.

Chu Yunmu was full of enthusiasm and eager to try. He didn't want Chu Qianchen to pour him a basin of cold water: "I can't practice archery today. I have to go back and make medicine."

This medicine was for the prince. She had made an appointment with Mo Chen to deliver it to him the day after tomorrow.

Because Jishitang's matter has been delayed for a long time, she has to hurry up these two days.

Chu Yunmu was a little depressed at first, but soon became energetic again, and said bravely:

"Chu Qianchen, can I help you?"

Chu Yunmu felt that he was really great, so he helped Chu Qianchen. After Chu Qianchen finished making the medicine, he could take him to practice archery.

Chu Qianchen held Chu Yunmu's little hand and responded with a smile: "Okay."

The big one and the small one walked and talked, talking and laughing.

On this day, Chu Yunmu had dinner at Chu Qianchen's place, and then left after being urged and invited by Nanny Chen.

In order to make the pills, Chu Qianchen stayed up all night. Early the next morning, she went to Rongfu Hall to pay her respects to Mrs. Tai, and then came back to continue her work.

Hu Bo saw that Chu Qianchen was so busy that he wished he had three heads and six arms. He didn't dare to persuade her even if he wanted to, so he could only fight her with all his strength.

Chu Qianchen didn't stop all day and was busy until midnight that day. He finally finished two bottles of pills before the agreed time.

She didn't sleep for a few hours before she got up and went to Qingming Tea House herself. She gave these two bottles of pills to Mo Chen and gave instructions on the dosage and usage. After Mo Chen left the teahouse, he rode away.

Looking at him heading south when he left, it was obvious that he was not going back to Prince Chen's Mansion.

So, the prince has gone south?

Until he returned to the Hou Mansion, Chu Qianchen was still thinking about this issue. He always felt that something was passing by, but he couldn't catch it for the moment.

After Chu Qianchen went back, she fell asleep again. When she woke up, she realized that Chu Yunmu was here.

She dressed and washed quickly, and after only two cups of tea, she packed herself up and went to the Toji Room.

"Chu Qianchen, you are awake!"

Chu Yunmu, who was playing alone, was so bored that he was almost bored. He felt that he was really a considerate and good brother.

While waiting for Chu Qianchen, he knitted a lot more straw knitting, almost completing the twelve zodiac signs.

Chu Qianchen knew why he came and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll teach you how to practice archery."

Chu Yunmu suddenly felt better, jumped up from the chair, and pulled Chu Qianchen to the martial arts arena of the Hou Mansion.

The Yongding Marquis Mansion relies on martial arts to make a living. There is a martial arts arena in the Marquis Mansion. It is located in the northwest corner of the Marquis Mansion. It is connected to the racecourse on one side. In the huge martial arts arena, there are various weapons such as arrow targets, swords, guns, knives, bows and hammers. Everything is available.

However, the bows in the martial arts arena were too big for them.

Chu Yunmu has a special small bow, which is specially customized to match his body size.

"Second sister, please pick a bow." Chu Yunmu asked someone to bring a box of bows from the weapons warehouse, and Chu Qianchen could choose as he pleased. There are various types of bows in this box, including bamboo bows, ox horn bows, sheep horn bows, rhinoceros horn bows, etc., with different materials and different shapes.

Chu Qianchen picked up a few bows and chose a Jurchen bow. The Jurchen bow was a bow used by the Jurchens, a nomadic people in the north in the past. Its bow tip is long and reversely curved. This design can reduce the pulling force of the bow. To grow bigger, focus on “stability” and “accuracy”.

The characteristics of Han bows are just the opposite, paying more attention to the efficiency and range of bows and arrows.

She wanted to shoot at the target now, so of course she chose the female Mayumi.

Chu Qianchen pulled the bowstring, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Chu Yunmu: "Brother Mu, watch."

As she spoke, she took an arrow from the quiver, skillfully nocking the arrow, buckling the string, and pre-pulling it, and easily filled the string...

In order to let Chu Yunmu see clearly, she deliberately slowed down her movements.

He paused deliberately before releasing the arrow.

"Whoosh", the feathered arrow shot out rapidly, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. In the next moment, it stably hit the bullseye in front.

"Bah bang bang!"

Chu Yunmu clapped his hands crazily, his little face seemed to be shining, "Second sister, you are so awesome, you can hit every target!"

Chu Yunmu was just about to let Chu Qianchen do it again, when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye and immediately shouted: "Dad!"

Chu Qianchen put down the bow in his hand and subconsciously followed Chu Yunmu's gaze, looking into a pair of eyes as dark as a deep ravine.

These eyes were deep and indifferent, without admiration or kindness, but rather with scrutiny.

He looked at her like he was looking at her, but also like he was looking at someone else through her.

This feeling is indescribably complicated.

Chu Lingxiao strolled towards the siblings. Under the backlight, his facial features were slightly blurred in the shadows.

Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu saluted him respectively.

"Father." Chu Qianchen's name for him was obviously different from Chu Yunmu's.

In the past life, these two words revealed Chu Qianchen's admiration and awe for him, but now, there is only alienation.

Chu Lingxiao stared deeply at Chu Qianchen and asked softly: "Sister Chen, where did you learn bow shooting?"

"Father, I lived in Zhuangzi for a few months last year. At that time, I just practiced casually when I had nothing to do." Chu Qianchen didn't care whether he would be suspicious or not, and casually dismissed him, "I even hunted some game. …”

Regardless of whether Chu Lingxiao believed it or not, Chu Yunmu did. He took Chu Qianchen's hand and said, "Second sister, do you know how to hunt game?"

He almost said it directly and asked Chu Qianchen to take him to hunt game.

Chu Lingxiao seemed to have not seen Chu Yunmu at all. He looked at Chu Qianchen blankly, acted like a strict father, and lectured: "Sister Chen, you are a girl, you should not dance." A man with a knife and a gun.”

Chu Qianchen just pursed his lips and smiled, noncommittal.

Judging from the fact that she was still holding the bow in her hand, it was clear that she didn't take Chu Lingxiao's words to heart.

Chu Lingxiao's eyes darkened.

To be honest, in the past few months, he felt that he couldn't see through this daughter.

In the past, Chu Qianchen was cowardly and only obeyed his and Aunt Jiang's orders; but now, this child is a bit unruly.

It's obviously the same person, but it gives people the feeling of a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Could it be that the few months she had lived in Zhuangzi had chilled her heart...

Yes, it seems that her close relationship with Brother Mu also originated from Brother Mu's stay at Zhuangzi for two days last year. Chu Lingxiao was thinking in his heart, his face expressionless.

Chu Yunmu tilted his little face, feeling that his father was a little strange.

He was still young, so he would say whatever came to his mind: "Dad, the eldest sister can ride and shoot, and the third sister can dance with a sword." Why shouldn't the second sister be able to shoot arrows?

One of the Six Arts of a Gentleman is archery. Not only the young men in the Hou Mansion have to learn the Six Arts of the Gentleman, but also most of the girls in the Hou Mansion have learned some from their fathers and brothers, just to see if they are good at it.

Chu Lingxiao: “…”

Chu Lingxiao hesitated for a moment. If this sentence was not said by Chu Yunmu but by Chu Qianchen, he could tell her and let her put piano, chess, calligraphy and painting first.

Chu Lingxiao cleared his throat, not intending to discuss this topic with a five-year-old child, so he changed the topic: "Sister Chen, please go and see your aunt more. Your aunt burned her leg and she is not fully recovered yet."

Chu Qianchen still just smiled lightly.

Chu Lingxiao didn't notice that Chu Qianchen didn't respond, because when he mentioned Aunt Jiang, he couldn't help but think of her scalded left foot.

The red scars on the originally flawless jade skin were shocking, making Chu Lingxiao feel distressed just thinking about it. He frowned slightly, wishing he could bear it for her.

"Do you still have the Shiquan anointing?" Chu Lingxiao asked in a deep voice.

Chu Qianchen shook his head, "I don't have Shiquan Cream on hand anymore."

She didn't tell the whole truth, and what she said was true. She gave the last bottle of Shiquan ointment to Shen.

Chu Lingxiao frowned even more tightly.

He also knew about the disagreement between Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianling on the day of the Taifu's birthday banquet. Chu Qianchen smashed a bottle of Shiquan ointment in front of everyone and gave the other bottle to Shen. Later, Ms. Liu went to Ms. Shen several times to beg for Chu Qianling, but she never got it.

Just now, he went to Mrs. Shen's place to ask for Shiquan ointment from Aunt Jiang, but he hit a snag. Mrs. Shen just refused to give it to her. She was clearly trying to tease her!

Back then, if it wasn't to save the Chu family, how could he be forced to marry the Shen family...

Thinking of the past, Chu Lingxiao felt unhappy.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Chu Qianchen with a bit of disgust and blame in her eyes, and said to herself: This girl is really immature. She knew that her aunt was injured, but she didn't know to take the initiative to go to Shen to get the Shiquan Cream back as a filial piety. Her aunt!

Thinking of the burns on Aunt Jiang's feet, and the tears she had shed these days, Chu Lingxiao felt that his heart was about to break, and he wished he could suffer on her behalf.

He couldn't order Chu Qianchen to go to Shen to ask for it, so he said in a scolding tone: "Why don't you go to Jishi Hall and buy some more Shiquan Cream!"

Chu Qianchen completely ignored Chu Lingxiao's accusation and said casually: "Jishitang is out of stock."

She is here, but her heart has already flown far away, thinking: The prince likes to eat goose breast with honey sauce. It happens to be the blooming season of lotus. She can choose some tender lotus buds to make the sauce. The sauce will not only be colorful but It's beautiful and smells like lotus.

Next time she made goose breast with honey sauce and brought it to him!
