The Zhuangzi where the Gu family placed Aunt Lu was outside Kyoto, not far away, but the road was very rough.

After entering the ravine, the mountains were full of farmland, and the coachman drove carefully over the ridge, and soon saw the village, and Zhuangzi was at the entrance of the village.

Qi Xiangsi got out of the carriage and walked into the Zhuangzi, the yard was full of grain, and there were a few hired workers plowing the grain not far away, seeing someone coming in, the Gu family sent to see Aunt Lu's two mothers-in-law and walked towards Qi Xiangxi: "Fifth girl, why are you here?" ”

"Mother asked me to come and see Aunt Lu." Qi Xiangsi asked Lilac to take out the food box and hand it to the two mothers-in-law, "The two mothers have also worked hard, there are some wine and food here, you can take them." ”

After opening some lids, the aroma of wine immediately dispersed, and I couldn't eat too much meat here in the outer village, let alone good wine, the two mothers-in-law looked at each other for a while, and one of them took the food box from Lilac's hand with a smile: "Since it was ordered by Madame, then I will open the door for you." ”

There are several rooms in a row, Aunt Lu is locked in the middle, it stands to reason that Aunt Lu should be allowed to walk around in the village at this hour, but these subordinates are like this, the master doesn't care, they are too lazy to spend that time, what is more convenient than being locked in the house.

After unlocking the door, the mother-in-law pushed open the door and was particularly calm about the smell coming out of the house: "It rained a few days ago, and there was some moisture in the house. ”

"Mommy, let's get busy." Qi Xiangsi nodded, and walked towards the inner room, where there was a person sitting on the bed against the wall, his hair was scattered, and his figure was thick, and he was like Aunt Lu in the past.

Aunt Lu raised her head to look at her, and only after a while did she see her clearly, and then her expression turned hideous, picked up the pillow on the bed and smashed it towards Qi Xiangsi, scolding the slut in her mouth.

The pillow fell at Qi Xiangsi's feet, and she raised her foot and gently pushed it away, looking at the room.

Two years have passed, only the bed and cabinet are left, and the valuable ornaments that Gu took over for the sake of appearance were secretly sold by those mothers-in-law.

Look at Aunt Lu again, she looks really gratifying.

The melon seeds' cheeks were round, the flesh was white and red, and the hands holding the edge of the bed were also thick, not to mention the body, sitting on the edge of the bed, I felt that there was a bit of a dent in the middle.

The mother-in-law in Zhuangzi did raise her very well, her cheeks were almost greasy when she ate, and the flesh on her double-layered chin and neck was thick, but Aunt Lu preferred to wear her previous clothes, and if she couldn't tie them, she would wear them, and tighten them with a belt, which made her look even fatter.

"Slut, what are you doing slut?" Aunt Lu muttered these words, and her hatred for Qi Xiangsi was quite deep, if it weren't for herself, how could she have fallen to this point, for two years, she had stayed in this ghost place for two years, and she hadn't even gone out of this door a few times.

"Min Lan's family affair is almost decided." Qi Xiangsi didn't even have a bronze mirror in the house, I was afraid that after the past two years, Aunt Lu didn't know what she had become, "I came to tell you the good news." ”

"Cheap girl, what do you want to do!" Aunt Lu knew about Qi Minlan's punishment of kneeling, she had been planning for a long time, and she had been investigating for so long, but she was locked up in Waizhuang at the end of the day, if she was there at that time, this cheap girl would have been kicked out of the house a long time ago!

"Aunt Lu doesn't want to know who the person who is asking to marry Minlan is." Qi Xiangsi paused, and chuckled under Aunt Lu's staring gaze, "It's Yueyang Palace." ”

Aunt Lu was stunned, Yueyang Palace, which Yueyang Palace?

Immediately, her eyes widened more and more, but after reacting, she looked at her vigilantly, this girl is scheming, what kind of idea do you have.

"King Yueyang's wife has passed away for many years and has a pair of children, this time she wants to marry, and Min Lan will be Princess Yueyang in the future." Qi Xiangsi slowly said the words "Princess Yueyang", "It won't be long before they send someone to take you back to the Qi family." ”

Aunt Lu didn't believe her words, Qi Xiangsi waved her hand and asked Jade to carry the box up: "Here are a few clothes specially prepared for Aunt Lu, and I can't be too shabby when I come to pick you up." ”

After Qi Xiangsi finished speaking, she left the house, and her mother-in-law came to lock the person, and by the beginning, Qi Xiangsi went to the kitchen in the village.

At this moment, Aunt Lu in the room stared at the box, and only after a long time did she get up, carrying her heavy body towards the table, and she was a little out of breath after only a few steps.

The box was unlocked, and it opened as soon as it was opened, and there was nothing but a few clothes and two pairs of jewelry.

The clothes are still the style and color that Aunt Lu liked in the past, she carefully picked up a corner and sniffed it under her nose, the fragrance of the soap horn, and the rest was the smell of new cloth.

Aunt Lu picked up her clothes and shook them, but no dust fell on the table, and it was very clean.

There is no abnormality in the clothes, and the next thing is the jewelry, but it is difficult to judge whether there is a problem with the jewelry, Aunt Lu thought back to what Qi Xiangsi said, and suddenly looked at her, remembering what Minlan said a while ago.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will find a way to take you back to the Qi family, soon, I will be able to take you back soon."

In this way, her daughter stayed outside the window and said it several times, and Aunt Lu didn't have such deep expectations after listening to it too much, but after thinking about it, the tone of what her daughter said last time was obviously different, and she seemed very happy, as if it could really be realized.

Aunt Lu's huge face showed a hint of ecstasy.

Could it be that what the said is true!

Almost subconsciously, Aunt Lu quickly put the jewelry box at the bottom of the box, then closed the box, and pushed it under the bed to hide.

After doing this, she was already tired and panting, and sat down with her hands on the table, Aunt Lu raised her hand to get the kettle, and poured herself two glasses of water to ease down, but when she poured the third cup, there was no water, and then there was a sound of unlocking outside, it was time to eat.

Lard bibimbap, and a bowl of thick boiled bone miso soup, when the mother-in-law brought it in, Aunt Lu was hungry when she smelled it, and she couldn't restrain herself after eating the first bite, until the bottom of the bowl was empty, and the miso soup was all drunk by Aunt Lu before she stopped.

Eating like this three times a day, Aunt Lu has been raised like this for two years, even if she takes it back, what interest will Qi Herui have.

But these Aunt Lu herself doesn't know clearly, what she has been thinking about in the past two years is the old man who is reluctant to let her die, because she left and looks like a lady apart, as long as she can go back, the master's heart will definitely return to her.

Qi Xiangsi watched her mother-in-law come out with an empty bowl at the door, took out ten taels of silver and handed it to them: "This is what my mother asked me to reward the two mothers." ”

"That's what we should do, Madame, so kind." After all, there is no mercy in taking money.

At this time, Lilac came back from the kitchen, Qi Xiangsi said goodbye and left Zhuangzi, and after getting into the carriage, Lilac took out a paper bag from her arms, which was the rice she secretly took from the kitchen for Aunt Lu to eat.

Lilac poured the rice into the bag that Jade was holding: "The things were poured in, and I mixed them." ”

Qi Xiangsi snorted, the distinction in the kitchen of Waizhuang was very strict, and others must not touch what Aunt Lu was fed, so she was not worried that what she added would eat into other people's mouths.

When I opened the curtain and looked out, the fields in autumn were golden and beautiful.

Qi Xiangsi squinted slightly, there was a smell of grass in the wind blowing, what could Qi Minlan do if she wanted Aunt Lu to go back, what she wanted to do, she would not let her be happy

The carriage passed the ridge and went up the mountain road, bumpy all the way, and returned to the city in the evening.

When Qi Xiangsi returned to the Qi Mansion, the Qi family had already responded to the matter of Yueyang Wangfu coming to talk about his relatives.

The elders of the Qi family relied on business to stabilize the family business, and Qi Henian's generation relied on the so-called medical skills to be favored in front of the saints, but in the younger generation, there were no grandchildren, and all the granddaughters were born.

They all married so well, counting Qi Xiangsi, who inherited the mantle of the Qi family, as long as it is to add fire to the future prosperity and wealth of the Qi family, Mrs. Qi feels good.

The granddaughter who was originally disdainful was going to marry into Yueyang Palace, and the old lady Qi's attitude towards her also changed greatly, here in the Splendid Garden, the Gu family had heard the news for the third time that the old lady had sent something to Yirongxuan.

It's only been two days since I got off my family.

Chen's mother handed over the booklet, these are the two people finally selected by the Gu family, and they have to show the master when the time comes, and set the family affairs for her daughter.

A maid came in to report: "Madam, the lord said that he made an appointment with a few colleagues today, and he didn't come in the evening." ”

Gu Shi waved his hand, the maid retreated, and Chen's mother was full of concern about the four girls' lifelong events: "It's been several times, why doesn't the master care about the girl's marriage at all." ”

"The news of Yueyang Wangfu saying that his relatives have spread, and he will not be in the mansion for ten days and a half months." At present, many officials in the court have been implicated because of the prince's affairs, and there are more vacancies, and the Qi family is married to Yueyang Wangfu at this time, as the father-in-law of Yueyang King in the future, there will be more people who are close to him.

Qi Herui was very happy with such an invitation, Gu saw through him, and at this juncture, she would not let him come to get the final idea for her daughter.

Gu asked Chen's mother to take the booklet and go to Biqiu Courtyard, and Mrs. Qi was talking to her eldest daughter-in-law about marrying the six girls at this time, and when she saw Gu come in, she asked her to sit down with a smile: "You still have to make up your mind in the end as a mother, and the three girls added more when they got married, and the six girls are indispensable this time." ”

"I still want my mother to give Min Yan another idea." Gu smiled and handed the booklet to Mrs. Qi, "It's too late to pick it again, I'm afraid that the master has a lot of entertainment these days, I want to discuss it with you and then tell him." ”

Earlier, the Gu family had already shown it to Mrs. Qi, and she thought it was okay at that time, but now that she got it again, her mood was different, and she was picky about the two people in the book: "Do you still owe some?" ”

"Master Ma and Master Ma also have some friendship in the officialdom, I have met Mrs. Ma a few times, she is a good person to get along with, Young Master Ma is second, in the future, Min Yan will marry in the past, and life will be smooth." There is also a young master of the Li family, the only son in the family, although the family background is inferior to the Qi family, but he can make a difference at a young age, and he has an uncle who supports him, which is also good.

Old Madam Qi frowned slightly, she felt that it could be better.

"You mean Mrs. Li, I've seen opportunities, and I met them all in the temple." On the side, Fang Shi smiled and said, "She has been fasting and reciting Buddha for many years, and she is a kind-hearted person." ”

Only then did Old Madam Qi look at Gu's: "Which one do you like?" ”

"I think both are good, I can't pick them out, and I want my mother to give me an idea." Gu Shi smiled, left and right can't escape these two, the old lady loves to call the shots, so let her say.

Old Madam Qi looked at the Fang clan again: "Look." ”

After taking it, Fang Shi took a closer look: "If you follow me, it's better to be this Li family, after all, it's an only son." ”

Old Madam Qi pondered for a moment: "Since you think these two families are good, then the Li family, you will not be wronged if you marry in the past, and it is good for young people to be more motivated." ”

"Okay, I'll mention it to the master, so I can send someone to Mrs. Wang to reply." Gu smiled in response to what Old Madam Qi said, Old Madam Qi nodded, "You can't make mistakes on both sides, the four girls and the six girls are important." ”

Gu nodded: "My province." ”

"Speaking of which, the body of the painter is also heavy." Old Madam Qi raised her hand, "There is now a descendant in the Ten Emperors' Mansion, if the third girl gives birth to a boy, this position will be stable." ”

Fang moved his mouth slightly and didn't say anything, Old Madam Qi could probably guess her thoughts, and sighed: "Don't say that it's good to have a daughter, you have to think about the future in everything, if you have a son by your side, you can have ten princes to protect you more, and the three girls will not be bitter in the future." ”

"It's just the right start of spring in March." Fang crossed the topic of giving birth to a boy and a girl, and said with a smile that the days before giving birth were warm, March and April were just warm, and they were not afraid of the cold when they were confined, and the children were easy to raise.

Old Madam Qi nodded: "You go to see her another day, and you can't leave the house, I'm afraid I'm bored." ”

"Hey."

After chatting in the room for a while, Old Madam Qi looked a little tired, and the Gu family and the Fang family got up to say goodbye.

Out of Biqiu Courtyard, Gu thanked Fang: "Thank you sister-in-law for what happened just now." ”

"What is there to thank you for these?" The Fang family has served the old lady for so many years, and he can guess her thoughts, if he can get better, he will definitely say that it will be better.

But that's not how I think about being a mother.

"If it were the second child today, then I wouldn't have opened this mouth." Fang patted her hand, "I see that you also like the Li family, in fact, it doesn't matter, you have given a dowry, and you can also wronged your own children, as long as you marry and get along with Meimei, the husband's family gets along well, that is the most important thing." ”

"Sister-in-law is a person who understands." What else can Gu Shi say, where would she think that her daughter must marry more glory and wealth, just ask her to marry in the past, don't be like her own life.

"It's Minying's child." Fang Shi said and sighed slightly, when she came to confess her relatives two years ago, she felt sorry for what happened to the child, but now it is the same.

"That kid has an idea." Gu Shi walked forward with her as a companion, and spoke, "The old lady said that she looks like a master, but I don't think she looks like her at all, maybe she looks like her aunt." ”

The Gu family always had that feeling, the Qi family was like a temporary place for the child, and she was not close to anyone except Yan Rong.

Fang's expression flashed: "After all, it's a girl's family." ”

"Sister-in-law, if there is nothing to do later, you can sit with me, this is the first time I have married a daughter, and I have to consult you on many things."

――――――――――――――――――――――-

Qi Xiangsi stayed in Qi Mansion for two more days, and on the day he left Qi Mansion to return to Tai Hospital, Yueyang Wangfu officially sent someone to propose marriage and took away Qi Minlan's birthday.

On the twenty-fifth of the next day, the day of the internal teaching assessment, Qi Xiangsi got up early in the morning and followed Imperial Doctor Chen to the East Pharmacy.

In addition to the foreign teacher training, she has three people to participate in the assessment, which is more complicated than the foreign teacher training, and in addition to the written assessment, there is also a diagnosis.

The first day is a paper exam, the second day is a medicine examination, and the third day is a diagnosis.

Qi Xiangsi walked into the house, where a doctor was sitting and a patient was lying on the bed.

The imperial doctor Qi Xiangsi didn't recognize it, only looked up at her, and motioned for her to sit down to diagnose people, Qi Xiangsi sat down, put the pulse pillow on the man's wrist, and raised his hand to press it.

Halfway, she shifted her position slightly and pressed it again.

After that, she asked him to open his mouth and stick out his tongue, and after looking at his face, Qi Xiangsi was in trouble, his pulse was yin, his tongue was reddish, his moss was yellow and greasy, and his eyes were a little red, which was on fire.

Is it really that simple?

She heard Fu Rong mention that there will be no incurable diseases in the assessment of internal teaching, but it is not clear at a glance, the key depends on the details of the diagnosis, but how can this person look at it, there is no other problem except for the fire, and it is a lack of sleep if you have to add it.

After thinking for a while, Qi Xiangsi opened his mouth and asked him, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

The man shook his head: "I'm a little dizzy." ”

Qi Xiangsi let him lie down: "I'll start pressing now, if it hurts, you can say it." ”

Qi Xiangsi got up and started pressing from under his neck, the men all shook their heads until they pressed their stomachs, Qi Xiangsi pressed them lightly, his brows wrinkled, and when she pressed her stomach, he began to cry out in pain.

"Do you have diarrhea?"

The man nodded.

"What have you eaten in the past few days?"

"I just shot a boar and sold the rest to eat."

"I don't usually like to eat."

The man nodded.

"How do you cook wild boar?"

"Braised bones."

Qi Xiangsi asked him a few questions one after another, and finally she handed him a glass of water, turned to look at the imperial doctor sitting on the side, and said her diagnosis: "The pulse is yin deficiency, the tongue is reddish, the moss is yellow and greasy, the eyes are a little red, the stomach hurts, the abdominal pain, the stool is dry, the throat is hot and dry, it is difficult to sleep, it is easy to be thirsty, it is difficult to drink water, and the stomach is dry and hot." ”

The doctor didn't say whether she was right or not, but asked, "How to administer the medicine." ”

"Calculus antidote prescription, just drink more water, usually pay attention not to eat only meat, it is best to avoid it for a while."

After Qi Xiangsi finished speaking, the imperial doctor waited for a while, and seeing that she didn't say any more, he asked lightly: "That's it?" ”

Qi Xiangsi nodded: "That's it." ”

If there is really an incurable disease, she doesn't see it, it is purely making things difficult for her, a student who has only studied abroad for two years.

After waiting for a while, the imperial doctor waved his hand: "Okay, you can go out." ”

Qi Xiangsi looked back at the patient, and after walking out of the house, he found that he was the last one to come out, and the other two had already come out of the house, and they looked like they didn't know the result, and the three of them were taken to the front hall together, and after a while, Imperial Doctor Lu and they came in.

A few people were still discussing something when they came in, and after they came in, their expressions were strict, Qi Xiangsi didn't see Qi Henian, maybe it was to avoid suspicion, and after a while, Imperial Doctor Lu began to announce the results.

Qi Xiangsi and another student passed the assessment, and another student made a mistake in the diagnosis just now and could not enter the school to teach.

Imperial Physician Lu's face didn't look happy, maybe because Qi Xiangsi couldn't send her to be with the palace maid, and let her stay in the palace to teach.

After announcing the results, Imperial Physician Lu let them out, leaving a few Imperial Physicians to continue to discuss things, Qi Xiangsi walked out of the East Pharmacy and saw Fu Rong waiting for her outside from a distance.

"My teacher and I have been to the three places of Yuehe before, and we know you, so I didn't go in because others said something." Fu Rong saw that she was not depressed, and thought that she should have passed, "I think you must be able to get by." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that patient." Qi Xiangsi gave a general explanation of the situation at the time of diagnosis, and Fu Rong smiled, "Aren't you three people, one of them said that diarrhea is a serious illness." ”

Qi Xiangsi opened his mouth slightly, and Fu Rong said patiently: "It was indeed a little difficult for me to go to the clinic at that time, but this is not only to test whether you have passed the test, but also to test whether you have confidence in your medical skills." ”

If you are a doctor and you are not confident in your diagnosis, then how can you treat people?

Qi Xiangsi pouted slightly, didn't they deliberately make it difficult for her.

Seeing her show such an expression, the smile on Fu Rong's face deepened a little: "You don't have to worry, someone will take you to the East Pharmacy in a few days, and the teacher will accept you as a student at that time." ”

Qi Xiangsi blinked mischievously: "So I should call you Senior Brother?" ”

Fu Rong was stunned, lowered his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face was warm: "I've been tired for three days, now I can rest assured, go back and rest." ”

Qi Xiangsi nodded, waved his hand at him and walked away, and Fu Rong stood there watching.

That touch of back seems to be no different from when I first met.

It's just that more than two years have passed, and she has grown up.

Half a ring, Fu Rong laughed out loud to himself, and he didn't know what he was thinking, under the slanting yang vein, the smile on his face was the same as the afterglow of the evening, drunk with the sunset

The news of Qi Xiangsi's entry into the internal teaching did not make any waves in the Qi family, and for the Qi Mansion, the marriage letter sent by the Yueyang Mansion in early December was what they were most concerned about.

The wedding date was set for May of the following year.

For Qi Mansion, it was actually a little tight in less than half a year, and Qi Minlan was not too old to prepare anything for her, but for King Yueyang, who had not continued since his wife's death, this was not too early.

A few days after the wedding letter was delivered, Yueyang Wangfu picked a day to send the dowry over, it was the third day after Laba, the sky was still drifting with light snow, and there was a thin layer on the ground, and the dowry carried from Yueyang Wangfu to the Qi family was particularly conspicuous in the snow, red all the way.

It was Huo Cheng, the little nephew of Mrs. Ming, who helped to send the hir, followed the king of Yueyang to join the army, and achieved a lot of military achievements at a young age.

Old Madam Qi personally came to the front to greet her, watching the hired people come in one after another, with a happy smile on her face, the faster Yueyang Wangfu brought the dowry over, which proved that the more he wanted to marry the sixth girl, although he had to be the mother of two children if he married, but as long as the husband and wife were harmonious, these could be overcome.

At first, he didn't count exactly how many were brought in, until the boxes were all put down, and Huo Cheng handed the gift list to Qi Herui.

Qi Herui didn't show anything after looking at it, and handed the gift list to Mrs. Qi with a smile, Old Mrs. Qi received it in her hand, and was stunned when her eyes swept over, and then quickly recovered her expression, and beckoned her grandson to take Huo Cheng into the front hall to drink a glass of wine to warm up her body, and let people take those who were hired down to rest.

Then Mrs. Qi looked at the gift list again, and it was difficult to hide the gap in her heart.

The dowry was only twenty-four.
