Chapter 3 The Dong family has a daughter
The head of the Dong Mansion generation is Dong Qianwei's son, Dong Chengshuo, the eldest man of the Dong family, married Han Zhen, the daughter of the Han family of Dongshan County, and gave birth to two children. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Speaking of which, I have to say that the Dong family has always been a family where everyone wants to get married, not only because of the Dong family's financial reputation, but also because the head of the Dong family has only married wives and does not take concubines for generations, which is said to be the last training of the first head of the Dong family.
This has led to the weak bloodline of the Dong family, and each generation has been fully cultivated, there is no restless situation, and the family atmosphere is very harmonious.
Dong Chengshuo, the head of the Dong family of this generation, and his wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, son Dong Qingdu and daughter Dong Qinghe.
Unfortunately, after her daughter was born, she was born frail and sickly, lingering on the sickbed all the year round, so delicate that she couldn't see the wind, and she didn't know how many doctors she had hired or how many tonics she had taken didn't get better. All the doctors, including the imperial doctor, asserted that she would not live to be five years old, but the Dong family did not know how much money she spent and how many medicines she bought, and she kept her alive year after year.
Fortunately, she was born in the Dong family, and the Dong family has a pharmacy that has opened all over the country, Shun'an Hall, and countless properties that can buy her rare elixirs. All kinds of Ganoderma lucidum ginseng can be eaten as a meal, not to mention other nourishing medicines.
The body is too weak, relying on the elixir to hang a life, everyone knows that the eyes of the Dong family, Miss Dong, will not live long, but it is extremely expensive, countless people give her all kinds of gifts, but no one wants to invite her to play or see her. This kind of baby character who goes to half his life as soon as the wind blows, no one is willing to take responsibility.
The Jin Gui of the eldest lady of the Dong family is well-known throughout the country, but at the same time, she is also the most mysterious lady that no one in Taijing has ever seen.
Dong Chengshuo and his wife Han Zhen sat on the chair and waited for their long-lost daughter to come back, but he couldn't hold his breath more than his wife, and he couldn't wait to rush out to pick up his daughter in the rain, and he was really anxious to sit here.
Until the next person replied that the young lady had arrived at the gate.
Both of them stood up and went to the door of the room to look, they hadn't seen their daughter for more than ten years, and they still had to live.
When the Dong family gave birth to a daughter, this is the only daughter in the Dong family's lineage, and she is so weak that she is afraid of being tired when she holds it since she was a child, and she is afraid of the little daughter who is afraid of melting, this is really the person on the tip of the heart of the whole family.
When Yan Yu walked in with Dong Qinghe and Pei Nian, Han Zhen couldn't help but rain heavily, and rushed out as soon as she saw her daughter walking in from outside, but fortunately, Dong Chengshuo grabbed her in time, and sat back in the chair with a very calm appearance.
"Qinghe. Han Zhencai didn't have time to care about her husband, so she threw herself on her daughter, pulled Dong Qinghe, who had just entered the door, looked up and down, and rubbed her face with her hands. With a lot of joy, her Qinghe grew up.
"Mother. "Dong Qinghe has been away from home for so many years, saying that she doesn't want to be home, over the years, she has traveled all over the Xia Kingdom, inside and outside, and even went to Yu Kingdom, Khanate and Tianhuan Country and other places, but she has never returned to Taijing.
Dong Chengshuo, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't see the intimacy of the two, and coughed vigorously.
Dong Qinghe immediately stepped forward and grabbed one of his arms with both hands: "Dad." “
When she was a child, she was too gluttonous, but her body was too weak to eat snacks, and she was always pestering to eat. Han Zhen resolutely did not allow it, forbidding her to eat, her brother Dong Qingdu was too young and weak, and even his own snacks were banned since he secretly left her a sugar gourd. Only Dong Chengshuo looked like he understood the righteousness on the surface and supported all the decisions of his daughter-in-law, and opened the back door in front of her in private.
It's not that he doesn't care for his daughter, it's just that his daughter's health was too poor when she was a child, maybe she will go to an illness at some point, and she doesn't even have to eat what she likes. This is how Dong Qinghe has been holding his father's hand since he was a child, pretending to be pitiful.
"It's good to come back, why do you wear such plain clothes?" Dong Chengshuo looked serious and serious, and had an opinion on his daughter's white clothes.
Dong Qinghe wrinkled his little nose: "It's too boring on the boat, the white looks comfortable, or it won't be full of smallpox, it's too uncomfortable." “
At this time, Han Zhen over there had already chatted with Pei Nian, and Dong Qinghe's letters often mentioned this person, and Han Zhen was also clear.
Pei Nian was rescued by Dong Qinghe when she was a child when she followed her masters to collect medicine and practice medicine, and she also has a younger brother, and her two sisters and brothers are orphans.
Dong Qinghe, who was young, inherited the bloodline of the Dong family, and pestered the master to save the two and then settle them down.
Unexpectedly, he met her again three or four years later, and rescued her in the pursuit of others, while his brother was killed. It turned out that they infiltrated the enemy's house to hide their identities to take revenge, but they didn't expect to be accidentally exposed before they succeeded, and her brother was killed because of it.
Dong Qinghe led her back, killed her enemy, took revenge, and buried her younger brother. Since then, Pei Nian has vowed to follow Dong Qinghe to protect her for the rest of her life, and also went to learn swords from Dong Qinghe's swordsmanship master.
For her, Dong Qinghe has always been treated as a junior sister, and the two are of the same age, but Dong Qinghe has always regarded herself as a senior sister when she first started, and Pei Nian has always regarded her as a master in her heart, and she is as kind to her as a mountain.
"Yan Yu, take them to bathe first, then change their clothes, clean up, and come over for dinner in the evening. Han Zhen instructed, coming back all the way, the two of them also worked hard, such a heavy rain, the clothes were a little moist, "Ling Nian'er went to Jiangying Courtyard, where it was already packed. “
"No need, I'll just follow Miss. Pei Nian refused, she wanted to protect Dong Qinghe, but she didn't come to be a guest.
"How can this work, you are Qinghe's junior sister, and you are half the master of this mansion. "Han Zhen was born in a scholarly family, and she personally taught the rules of her two children when they were young.
"Mother, Zhu Xiaoju is so big, let my junior sister live with me, it's not that there is no room. Dong Qinghe spoke up, Pei Nian is a complete person in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't know the rules of this kind of Shenmen compound, and he doesn't know a lot of things when he lives alone.
Seeing that her daughter said this, Han Zhen did not object, and sent someone to send the things originally prepared for Pei Nian to Zhu Xiaoju.
By the time they arrived at Zhu Xiaoju, the luggage of the two had already been moved back.
As soon as he entered the door, a green figure stepped forward quickly, and a crisp female voice sounded: "Miss." “
After so many years of not coming back, where did the young girl come from to be so affectionate with her? Dong Qinghe slandered, the people around her when she was young had married for so many years, where are there still young girls?
"This is Zhu Yi, the maid that Miss and Master chose together. Yan Yu looked at Dong Qinghe with a deep smile.
Reacting, Dong Qinghe secretly said that this is the case, the master of the Dong family, everyone will have a secret guard and a shadow, this is not an ordinary shadow guard.
The shadow is completely similar in appearance and figure to the master, and even the actions and actions on weekdays are similar, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake. The secret guard can also be called the Ming guard, and the real identity of one of the personal maids or servants of each master is the secret guard, after all, it is inconvenient for the shadow guard to follow up in many places, such as the palace or when the big man gathers, and the person who is close to him at this time has no such concern.
They are the most worthy right-hand men, in contact with the master every day, they are arms on the surface, and their skills are also strong, and they can do many things that others can't. Han Zhen is surrounded by two powerful Yan Yu and Silver Frost, Yan Yu is brought by the family, and Silver Frost is the secret guard of the Dong family.
Back then, the dark guard was chosen as the place where Dong Qinghe took her to the secret guard training, because she wanted to take a nap, so she went early, and just met Zhu Yi sitting in the bamboo forest to play, and the two little girls looked at the right eye and designated her.
"Miss, hot tea is ready. Zhu Yigong saluted, very respectful.
"Okay, thank you for all these years. “
Dong Qinghe smiled, this was supposed to be a maid who grew up with her, but she left her for so many years and ignored her.
"The slave maid is out of the way, hot water and clothes have been prepared, and Miss Pei and Miss Pei can bathe at any time. “
"You take your sister to the East Wing first, and help her pick out a simple dress, and the jewelry should not be too heavy. Dong Qinghe instructed that Pei Nian's outfit has always been simple, no one can serve him and can't wear the cumbersome clothes of the noble girl at all, and he doesn't like red gold jewelry, which affects the speed of the sword.
"Yes. “
Zhu Yi took Pei Nian to the east wing, and Dong Qinghe walked into the bedroom, removed the jewelry on his head, and prepared to bathe.
The next day, the sky was clear, the sun was shining warmly on the body, it was very comfortable, Dong Qinghe got up and nodded when he saw the sky, expressing satisfaction.
Even the people in the house are smiling one by one, not that they feel bored that it has rained for too many days.
This rain caused the flood in Huaiyin County, Dong Qingdu, the eldest young master of the Dong Mansion, went to the disaster relief with the third prince Xuanwang, the rain stopped, and the young master must have returned to Beijing soon.
Dong Mansion is the master, Mrs., young master, and young lady, the old lady has been traveling with Mrs. Tai for many years, and they are all biological, so there is no way to make rules, not to mention that Dong Qinghe has not been there for so many years, and no one has made rules.
Dong Qinghe used breakfast with Pei Nian, who had already practiced a set of swordsmanship, and received a vase of flowers just after eating.
It was a young girl, dignified and elegant, standing there with a vase, like a goddess coming out of a painting, with a fairy aura and fragrance.
"This is Miss Autumn Reed. Zhu Yi said to Dong Qinghe, "I have been living in the house, and I heard that the young lady came back this day, so I specially arranged flowers to visit." “
"Miss Qiuwei, thank you for your flowers, the craftsmanship is so good. Dong Qinghe smiled, flower arrangement and tea distribution have always been very popular among the upper-class nobles, and she has only seen it, but she has not really learned it.
"Miss is polite, I have already caused trouble to your house by living here, where can I afford to say thank you. “
Qiu Wei was very polite, saying that she came to see if there was anything she could help with, and her needlework and jewelry and clothing were okay.
Dong Qinghe refused after expressing her gratitude, she still had something to go out, although Qiu Wei was very suitable for her eyes, and she didn't have time to chat.
Later, I learned from Zhu Yi that Qiu Wei was the daughter of a petty official, and she depended on her father for her life, and after her father was wronged and died, she came to Taijing to avenge her father's grievances. Han Zhen met by chance, admired her very much, and helped her wash away her grievances after knowing about it, and the court gave her a lot of property in order to compensate her for the position of a township lord.
Han Zhen took pity on her little girl with a huge amount of money and took care of her in the house, afraid that she would be wronged. Qiu Wei is a talented girl, she is also very sensitive on weekdays, she stays in her yard without leaving home, and she doesn't let people call her Miss, saying that her father is no longer there, and she can't be considered a young lady, but she really cares about Han Zhen and his wife, and several of Han Zhen's underwear in the past two years are from her hands.
"I'm going to go on a trip, do any of you want to go with you?"
Dong Qinghe had something to go out, and asked Pei Nian and Zhu Yi if anyone wanted to go to the street together, but they were both refused, and they looked at the two of them suspiciously, Dong Qinghe didn't bring anyone, and went out from the side door by himself.
Xu is just sunny, the street is very lively, people who haven't done a good job for a few days are crowded on the street, Dong Qinghe regretted not making a carriage after going out.
The sound of selling around is endless, the sound is strong, each with its own characteristics, and it is not bad to listen while walking.
"The newly made colorful sugar man, the sweet little sugar man, you can be a real person like a sugar man compared to a real person!"
"The newly cooked beef buns, the fragrant and hot buns, the guests all come to try it!"
"Home-made osmanthus cake, freshly picked osmanthus, fragrant snacks!"
"The freshly beaten yarn, the yarn played by Liu Qiao's apprentice, has just arrived, come and take a look at this new style!"
…………
Xia Kingdom Palace.
The Imperial Study.
The early dynasty had just ended, and Emperor Chu Chen received his younger brother Chu Chen, the king of Qi, in the imperial study.
Chu Chen already knew about yesterday's incident, and he could not tolerate "rebellion" and "weapons", which could be said to be a big taboo against him.
But there are few clues about this ship, and the real murderer has not been found so far.
"Check as soon as possible, and at the same time closely monitor the movements of the major palaces and families in the capital, focusing on He Xiang and Luo Jiangfu, it is nothing more than just a few families, and when they release rumors, they will say that we have caught the suspect of privately casting weapons and are interrogating. “
"At the same time, send someone to contact the Dong family to see which people bought a large amount of iron when the batch of weapons in your house was cast. “
At present, only the official family and the Dong family have iron ore, and the Dong family because the Dong family found the iron ore and dedicated it during the war, sent people to cast soldiers, and made great contributions to the recovery, and most of the rest of the iron ore is in the hands of the official family, and the transaction must be recorded.
"Okay, leave this matter to me, how is the progress of the disaster relief?" Chu Ji sat on the chair, holding the tribute treasure jade that Chu Chen had just given him and rubbing it, trying the jade quality.
"The third brother's reply is progressing very well, it won't be long before he can come back, he doesn't have to worry about Qingdu anymore, don't worry. “
Chu Chen put down the fold in his hand, and his evaluation of his third brother was not very polite, but his tone revealed his trust in Dong Qingdu.
Hearing this, Chu Xuan also nodded, his third brother is a person who is out of tune all day long, or Qingdu is more reassuring.
"By the way, yesterday the Dong Mansion invited a female guest. Chu Xuan said suddenly.
Blinking, Chu Chen smiled: "Could it be that the object of Qingdu's kiss is here?"
"It's from the rivers and lakes, but I smell the medicine in her luggage. Chu Xuan's face was a little relaxed, "With such a heavy rain, the Dong family also has to brave the rain to invite guests, and the people of the Dong family seem to be particularly protective of her, and the Dong family has no relatives in the rivers and lakes." “
"You mean, I'm here to treat Qingdu's sister?" Chu Chen squinted, he seemed to understand what the second brother meant.
Chu Xuan nodded: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the doctor has accepted a female disciple, and the medical skills are blue. The Dong family has never seen any doctor in these years, and this is the only person in the rivers and lakes who can make them so nervous. “
"The queen mother's left hand has not been good since she was poisoned, and the imperial doctors all respect the ability of the medicine king valley, so please also come and see the queen mother's illness. “
"Okay, Qingdu will be back soon, and when the time comes, ask him to come and pull the strings, and generally those people are reluctant to communicate with the royal family. "The emperor is also a filial son, so naturally he agrees.
The Medicine King Valley has always been a legend on the rivers and lakes, and the medical skills and poison skills of the owner of the Medicine King Valley are unrivaled in the world, and even the imperial doctors in the palace are beyond their reach.
The owners of this generation of Medicine King Valley are a couple, with a poisonous heart, they have extremely eccentric personalities, sometimes chasing after beggars to treat diseases, sometimes holding a thousand gold and not seeing each other, and their whereabouts are erratic.
The queen mother abolished the meridians on her hands because of the poisoning of Gong Dou a few years ago, and now the flexibility and muscle strength of her left hand are far less than that of her right hand, and the imperial doctor is helpless.
