Chapter 112 The Gu Family
"What's going on?"
Li Feng'er was taken aback, and then asked.
Speaking of this, Yinhuan also wrinkled his eyebrows angrily: "The lady is afraid that she doesn't know yet, the days when the Queen Mother entered the palace were not good, Emperor Gaozong favored Tian Guifei, Tian Guifei hated the first emperor and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was pregnant within a year of entering the palace, but Tian Guifei gave birth to medicine...... Later, she was pregnant with another child, and she was beaten down again, and she was a little prince who had already taken shape. ”
"There are such things." Li Feng'er was terrified when she heard this: "Emperor Gaozong doesn't care." ”
"That Gaozong loves Concubine Tian wholeheartedly and values her more than anything else." Yinhuan sighed: "Later, the Queen Mother was pregnant with Princess Changning, I don't know how, it was actually known by Tian Guifei, she sent someone to put sterilization medicine in the tonic for the Queen Mother to drink, and the person she sent had to wait for the Queen Mother to drink before leaving, at that time, Aunt Bai was serving the Queen Mother on the side, seeing this, Aunt Bai gritted her teeth and drank the sterilization medicine. ”
"Isn't that ......" Bi Tao was also anxious when she heard it: "Later." ”
"When Tian Guifei's people left, the Queen Mother called the imperial doctor, but because the medicine Tian Guifei got was too powerful, the imperial doctor couldn't do anything, Aunt Bai knew that she couldn't have any more children, and she knew her cousin's friendship for her, so she couldn't bear to call her cousin the queen, so she knelt down and begged the Queen Mother not to let her out of the palace, and after that, she begged the Queen Mother to give her cousin a marriage."
"This Aunt Bai is a rare loyal person." After listening to Yinhuan's words, Li Feng'er also sighed: "It's just that she suffered, and her life is over like this, and Tian Guifei is hateful." ”
"Speaking of which, I can't blame anyone." Yinhuan pinched Li Feng'er's hand and whispered: "It's all about making people, Tian Guifei lost her fertility in order to help Gaozong, although Gaozong loved her very much later, in the end she didn't have her own children, and she loved Emperor Gaozong too much, and didn't want to see what he and other women had, slowly, this means ...... is the current queen mother, who knows if she is the only one in the harem of the first emperor, whether she has played some tricks. ”
"This woman, it's really difficult." Li Feng'er thought about it and felt that Yinhuan's words were very right, and couldn't help but sigh: "When I entered the palace, I didn't know what to do, but now when I say this, I'm really scared." ”
"Don't be afraid, lady." Bi Tao smiled: "With me and Sister Yinhuan, I will not let someone hurt the lady, besides, Zhang Yong is not in charge of purchasing, it is convenient for the lady to use anything, and there is no need to be afraid of people getting bad things for the lady, and that is the trend, but the one who is in charge of the imperial dining room, the mother can also rest assured that she eats." ”
Li Feng'er nodded when she heard this: "It's my blessing, my godmother is so thoughtful for me, I think about it now, without you, I entered the palace blindly, but how can I be good." ”
Yinhuan smiled, and waited for Li Feng'er to finish speaking, and then carefully advised: "Zhang Yong said that the Queen Mother is very grateful to Aunt Bai for her maintenance today, and she trusts Aunt Bai very much, and tells the lady to remember to respect Aunt Bai, if she gets her eyes, she will add a few good words in front of the Queen Mother, which is more important than anything else, and Aunt Bai also clearly understands the form in the palace, if she is willing to give the lady a few words, the lady will be of infinite use." ”
"I see." Li Feng'er yawned: "Let's go to sleep quickly, Ming'er will naturally value Aunt Bai when I learn the rules." ”
Sure enough, the next morning, after Li Feng'er finished freshening up, he called someone to invite the four aunts, this day, Li Feng'er learned more seriously than yesterday, especially for Aunt Bai, extremely respectful, and when she studied for more than an hour to rest, Li Feng'er poured tea for the four aunts one by one and did not hold it, and said with a smile: "The four aunts have worked hard, and I am not satisfied with my rules, and I am tired of the aunts' hard teaching." ”
The four hurriedly got up and didn't even dare to say, Li Feng'er sat aside with a smile: "The aunts are all used by the Queen Mother's side, when I saw the aunts, I thought of the Queen Mother's love for me, and I was naturally grateful in my heart, I only hated me for being the most clumsy, I was grateful, and I couldn't say anything too nice, and I could only think that after entering the palace, I would serve the Queen Mother well, so as to live up to her old man's hard work." ”
"It's good that the lady has this heart." Aunt Bai nodded: "If the Queen Mother knows, she will naturally be happy." ”
Li Feng'er glanced at Aunt Bai: "When I was learning the rules just now, I saw that my aunt always beat her waist, but there was something uncomfortable. ”
Speaking of this, she smiled: "Before coming to Beijing, my stepmother found a doctor girl for me, and her medical skills are excellent, so why don't I ask her to show my aunt." ”
Aunt Bai's waist was really painful, and when she heard Li Feng'er say this, she didn't shirk it: "It's hard work." ”
Li Feng'er called Bi Tao, Bi Tao carefully checked Aunt Bai's pulse, and then looked at Aunt Bai, her face was heavy, Aunt Bai was open-minded, and said with a smile: "What's there, you just say it, I'm so old, what else can't I see." ”
Bi Tao then said: "When my aunt was young, I was afraid that she was not well maintained, I saw that it was a cold day and stayed in the cold water for a long time, but she fell into this rheumatic problem, and now this problem is becoming more and more serious, even on the waist...... These are all old wounds, and it takes a lot of work to heal them. ”
Li Feng'er was pleasantly surprised: "In this way, it's not that there is no cure, just pay for the effort, after all, you can cure Aunt Bai." ”
"But this ......" Bi Tao glanced at Li Feng'er in embarrassment: "If you want to get rid of the root of the disease, you need to soak in a medicinal bath for half a year, twice a month, and it will be done after half a year." ”
"What's this?" Li Feng'er laughed: "Aunt Bai can't take this bath?" ”
Aunt Bai also smiled: "I don't know how much I have suffered for this disease, I didn't expect it to get better, you said that you can take a medicinal bath for half a year, I can't be better for me, but half a year's effort, I can afford to wait." ”
"But this medicine." Bi Tao was even more embarrassed: "This medicine is not easy to find, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money." ”
The smile on Aunt Bai's face was also a little stiff: "How much silver?" I've also saved some money in the palace over the years, and I don't know if it's enough. ”
Li Feng'er waved her hand: "Bi Tao, you don't have to be embarrassed, and you don't have to work so hard for Aunt Bai, you go and find out the medicine that my godmother prepared for me, see if it is enough, if it is not enough, then ask Aunt Bai to add some silver to buy it." ”
She said this because she thought of Mrs. Jin's teaching before coming to Beijing, Mrs. Jin told her that she should be kind to the people below, but don't be too gracious, she thought that Aunt Bai was the queen mother's confidant, no matter how much she co-opted, she couldn't become her person, and she could not give some small favors, but she couldn't give too much.
Moreover, she and Aunt Bai are not very familiar with each other, if she uses money to buy medicine for Aunt Bai, it will inevitably make Aunt Bai suspicious, it is better to paste some medicine herself, and then ask Aunt Bai to buy some, so that people are grateful, but not too suspicious.
Bi Tao nodded when she heard this: "One of the medicines is very difficult to find, even if you have money, it is not easy to buy, but the lady has some, so the slave will take it for Aunt Bai first." ”
"No need." Aunt Bai quickly stood up and refused repeatedly: "It's better to buy my silver, it's really not possible, what kind of medicinal herbs are missing, just say, the queen mother said that she can't pity me for suffering and reward me." ”
"That medicine is rare, the name of the medicine is Star Cordyceps, born in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, if Aunt Bai has it, it is the best." Bi Tao smiled and introduced the appearance and medicinal effects of Star Cordyceps, and then took a pen and paper and wrote a list of medicines: "Aunt Bai is looking for medicine according to the prescription, and I found the medicine I boiled with my aunt, aunt and rest assured, this recipe is very effective, and my aunt will be good for half a year." ”
The remaining three looked at Bi Tao and saw that Bi Tao was indeed capable, so they pestered her to ask her to also diagnose and treat herself, not to mention, these aunts have been in the palace for many years, and they have suffered hardships when they were young, and when they are old, they all have old problems.
In the afternoon, the four people, including Aunt Bai, were even more attentive when they taught Li Feng'er, not only teaching her the rules, but also carefully analyzing the character characteristics of the people in the palace for her, especially Aunt Bai, who told Li Feng'er about the family background of the queen and the imperial concubine who were going to enter the palace in the future, as well as the temperament and preferences that she inquired about.
Although Aunt Bai is cautious and loyal to the Queen Mother, she did not mention Li Fenger's preferences, but this is the case, and Li Fenger is already very grateful.
Just like Yinhuan said, through the behavior of these aunts, it can already be seen that the Queen Mother has no ill will towards Li Feng'er, so the Queen Mother's preferences don't need to be busy inquiring, just wait until you enter the palace and observe slowly.
Because of the care of her four aunts, Li Fenger's life in the other courtyard is getting better day by day, she is also a governor, she should respect and respect those four people, she should ask questions, and there is a bit of affection in the respect, so that the four people feel that she is a good one more and more.
Li Luan'er's side cleaned up the house, and accompanied Mrs. Jin to look around, and the uncomfortable places were adjusted, so she called someone Yazi to buy a few people.
In the front yard, I bought two honest and loyal men to take care of the home, one is called Zhou Zhong and the other is Xiao Ping.
In the backyard, I bought two women who were doing good work, one surnamed Xu and the other surnamed Lu, Li Luan'er called them sister-in-law Xu, sister-in-law Lu, these two people did needlework, and the other two called girls, two rough girls, and Li Luaner also changed their names.
One of the two maids served Mrs. Jin and changed her name to Ruifang, one served Li Luan'er and changed her name to Ruizhu, and one of the two rough maids was called Duofu and the other was called Duoshou.
After a few more days of busy work, Li Luaner put what should be placed at home, and added the things that should be added.
When she and Mrs. Jin were discussing to buy a village in the suburbs of Beijing and buy a few shops, she didn't want to move a family to the vacant house next door.
When the family sent a sticker, they only said that his wife and eldest lady were going to visit, Li Luan'er knew that the family's surname was Gu, and they came from Jiangnan to join their relatives, and they used to be one of the richest families in Jiangnan, but now they are a little defeated, but the foundation is still there.
Since people had the heart to visit, Li Luan'er naturally wanted to entertain her, so she didn't go out again, thinking about how to entertain the mother and daughter of the Gu family at home. RS
