When he first met the acquaintance, Qiu Chen only recognized Qin Xiuyi and his wife and his younger siblings, as well as the main relatives of the clan, although the aunt was also a member of the family, but because of her humble status, no one introduced them, and Qiu Chen naturally didn't know them. Even if the Chen family had already made a list of members for her before, she also knew that Qin Xiuyi's women now have a wife and six concubines, but the information and the real person do not match.

At this moment, those clansmen lost the excitement and left one after another.

Taking advantage of Qin Zheng and Qin Xiuyi's send-off, Qiu Chen took a step back, and the Chen family introduced her to a few concubines.

At this time, there were three concubines present, all standing in the corner behind Qin Xiuyi, except for Aunt Xu, the other two were relatively old-looking, one was wearing an autumn-colored long jacket, with a plain head, almost no jewelry on his body, and a bloated and dark yellow face with a dough, he was standing there with his eyes down, his right hand was shrunk in his sleeve and moved slightly.

It was Chen who explained next to him: "The one surnamed Li who wears autumn fragrance is from a scholarly family, and he is the original third aunt who gave birth to the eldest lady." After the death of the second aunt, this Shun Yan mentioned the second aunt, who had been a vegetarian many years ago; In addition, the surname Wang who wore a crimson jacket, Aunt Wang, was born in a small official family and gave birth to a third lady. There are also three aunts, all of whom were accepted by Mrs. Li for the grandfather of the country, and they just followed Mrs. Li. ”

After a few words, Qiu Chen recognized the person, and the two of them fell silent.

On the other side, Qin Zheng also said to Qin Xiuyi, and said to Qiu Chen sideways: "Let's go back!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded, and bent his knees to Qin Xiuyi and said: "Father, I didn't have time to thank Madame just now, but fortunately, I benefited a lot from the guidance she found for me, Madame is in poor health, and it is not good to bother for this little thing, so I bothered my father to convey my gratitude to Madame for my daughter-in-law, and when Madame is healthy, my daughter-in-law will go over to thank you!" ”

Qin Xiuyi nodded stupidly and waved his hand to signal them to leave. Qin Zheng said goodbye, Qiu Chen also bowed his knees, and the two took two steps back, turned around and walked out of the hall side by side.

Back at Wutong Garden, Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng had the most quiet meal in the past two days, after the meal, Qin Zheng went out, Qiu Chen took a nap alone, and after getting up, he invited the two teaching grandmothers to come over, and followed them to learn the etiquette of the palace visit.

For a while, the etiquette that is too cumbersome and complicated cannot be learned, and what Qiu Chen has to learn is the etiquette of the face gentleman and the concubine, as well as some precautions.

There are no stupid people who can survive from the palace to the release, although these two were invited by Mrs. Li to teach Qiu Chen, but in a few days in Liu Jiaao, they have a general understanding of Qiu Chen's temperament, and they know that this is a master with a soft face and a strong heart, a correct idea, and a habit of speaking. The main reason is that this person is warm-hearted and treats people, especially those who are sincere to her, and naturally knows how to do it, and teaches Qiu Chen to do his best, and he does not use their methods of beating and scolding people, but only discussing and coaxing softly, but coaxing Qiu Chen, who eats soft and does not eat hard, really learned a lot of etiquette rules, and the sentence 'benefited a lot' is not false.

An afternoon passed in a hurry while learning court etiquette, and it was not until two o'clock in the hour that the two teaching grandmothers nodded with a smile and said: "Madame's etiquette is almost the same, that is, when you enter the palace tomorrow, you have to be patient with everything." ”

Qiu Chen naturally agreed, and took out the gold coin he had prepared and handed it to the two grandmothers: "Two grandmothers, I didn't think about entering the palace, this is what I prepared before, five dollars a piece, you two can see if it can be used?" ”

The two grandmothers took it and poured two in their hands and looked at it, and saw that these small gold bills were obviously poured out for the gift of the meeting, and they were all cast into the shape of auspicious Ruyi, what pen ingots Ruyi, blessing and happiness, more than festive, Toad Palace Guigui and the like, exquisite craftsmanship, bright gold, at a glance, you can know that the road is made of pure gold, not those old gold ruined into such a gloomy and gloomy, it is very gratifying.

"That's good!" One of the grandmothers surnamed Wu smiled approvingly.

Another grandmother, surnamed Liu, added in a deep voice, "Madame, may wish to bring some more silver bills...... Although the lady's rank is not low, her previous background is not obvious, and if she is too generous, it may backfire. It's better to distinguish it, and the little lady can use two or three silver bills to pass it away. The steward and the like can use gold bills. ”

These are all the experiences of the Wu family and the Liu family who have lived in the palace for many years, and they are all details that are not enough for outsiders, but are often very important, Qiu Chen naturally listened carefully and kept them firmly in his heart.

In the middle of the unitary hour, the word came from the front, Qin Zheng stayed out to eat and didn't come back, Qiu Chen ate by himself, cleaned up a little, and took Chen and Chengying Hanguang to Hanlian Garden.

In Hanlian Garden, Li really couldn't get up from the bed.

During this time, although she was a little bored with Qin Zheng, Qin Xiuyi insisted on handling Qin Zheng's wedding, her arms couldn't reach her thighs, so she had to work hard, and Qin Xiuyi had to ask about the dowry and wedding preparations again, and if it was inappropriate, she would be asked to adjust and supplement again and again until he agreed.

This busyness and breathlessness made the Li family a little uncomfortable, and the new daughter-in-law was serving tea today, thinking of playing the majesty of her mother-in-law, giving the new daughter-in-law a dismount, and also carrying the beating of Qin Xiuyi and Qin Zheng's father and son, but she didn't expect to be pushed back by Qiu Chen in front of a cadre of clansmen. In a fit of rage, after the Li family ran back to Hanlian Garden, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he had worked hard for a few months, and the second daughter-in-law who married her dared to stand up to her in front of so many people...... That woman is just a country widow, helpless, where did she get this guts? It must be Qin Zheng, as well as Qin Xiuyi's father and son.

Especially Qin Xiuyi, although he married himself, he has always been thinking about the original match of the dead ghost in front of him, and every time he sees his son, he will always dislike him for not being as angry as his brother...... He also let his son learn from his eldest son...... Phew, just such a motherless thing since childhood, in addition to being fierce and brave, she hasn't even read books for a few years, where can she be as good as her son? Her son is highly praised by the prince of the country, and his literary talent is amazing!

This breath had not subsided, and at noon, Qin Xiuyi came to Hanlian Garden again. Li thought that Qin Xiuyi was here to comfort her, no matter what, she had to say a few good words to coax her, right? Unexpectedly, when he saw Qin Xiuyi, he pointed at the Li family and scolded him. scolded her for not moving her pig brain at all, and on such occasions, she had to play that kind of small trick that did not enter the stream, and the new daughter-in-law who teased her gave her no face, and she was all self-inflicted, and she couldn't complain about other people's daughters-in-law at all.

“…… In the morning, the emperor just granted the county lord, and also implemented the decree of the marquis's wife, this is a double edict, the county lord still has a food ...... Are you confused or confused? Can't you see that the Holy Grace is thick? Even the emperor praised her for being gentle and virtuous, so you have to tease her without long eyes and no brains? Don't think that someone is just a country woman, you don't have to think about it with your pig brain, if it is really an ordinary country woman, can she be given by the emperor again and again, conferred, conferred, and conferred the status of the clan? Don't talk about others, you were still a young lady in the Guogong Mansion back then, why didn't you see yourself earning a decree and coming back to be a pawn? …… It's stupid, stupid! ”

After scolding bitterly, Qin Xiuyi was angry, shook his hand very much, turned around and strode away without hesitation.

Li sat on the couch and cried like rain, crying is called a liver and intestines. In front of the mother-in-law and girls, she was scolded by the grandfather of the country so shamelessly, how can she face these girls and mothers-in-law in the future?

was crying, Qin Xiuyi turned back again, and immediately forced Li to hand over the housekeeper's key, account book and other things, Li was so angry that he fainted at that time. Qin Xiuyi only asked people to ask the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, but she still kept bringing the keys, account books and other things to Xu's place, so that she could start housekeeping from now on.

The imperial doctor came to check on him, and Li's body was fine, but it was caused by overwork and depression, as long as he relaxed his mind, recuperated for a while, and then took the recuperation decoction, he would naturally get better.

But Li Shi was hit several times in a day, where is it said that relaxation can be relaxed, after waking up, he still feels dizzy and dizzy, and he can't get up at all.

Qin Hao, the second son of the Li family, came back from school and heard that his mother was ill and couldn't even change his clothes, so he hurried to Hanlian Garden to visit his mother.

As soon as he saw his son, the Li family only felt aggrieved and annoyed, and rushed up together, hugging Qin Hao and crying bitterly. This cry made me feel that the leader Sen Sen almost fainted.

Qin Hao saw that his mother was crying heavily, and he also cried, and suddenly felt that his mother's body was weak and almost fainted, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly called someone: "Grandma Sun, Grandma Qian, my mother has fainted!" ”

Sun's Qian stood next to him and comforted, Qin Hao just didn't say that they could see it, so he hurriedly helped Li to lie on the bed, Qin Hao saw this, and hurriedly went out and ordered in a row: "Go and ask the imperial doctor, please the imperial doctor!" ”

But the imperial doctor hurried over again, and still said that Li's was fine, but he was angry and obstructed, and his liver yang was hyperactive, which caused his head to be dizzy. This is an emotional disease, and if the emotional cause of the disease is not relieved or removed, the disease will linger.

After saying that, the imperial doctor left without even leaving the prescription.

Qin Hao was at a loss alone, so he had to run to find his father Qin Xiuyi. When I went out to inquire, I found out that Qin Xiuyi was not at home, but went to a party with a few colleagues for a banquet.

Qin Hao was annoyed and at a loss, and when he was dazed and bored, the mother-in-law at the gate of Hanlian Garden came in to report: "Sixth master, grandma has come to say goodbye, waiting at the door!" ”

"Big grandma?" Qin Hao asked in surprise, and then brushed his face cold.

Just now, Li was crying, but he told him that a new daughter-in-law dared to confront her mother in person...... Don't talk about her background, just say a filial piety, this is also disobedience and unfilial piety!

Qin Hao snorted, raised his feet and walked to the gate, he wanted to see what kind of thoughts the grandmother who had just disobeyed her mother in the morning, please be safe? Or are you here to add fuel to the fire and watch jokes?

Qiu Chen stood at the gate, looking dignified and indifferent, waiting for the mother-in-law on the door to report. Li brushed his sleeves away in the morning, and was robbed of the rights of the housekeeper director, and he didn't know how uncomfortable at this time. Qiu Chen didn't think about going in, but she had to do what she should do, and she didn't leave anyone a handle.

I was looking at the surroundings of Hanlian Garden, and listened to Chen's introduction from Hanlian Garden, and some of the small courtyards behind were the courtyards where those young ladies lived. The aunts, Kabuki and Maihime, lived in the garden further back, further away from here.

I don't know if Lu Dao is because of Li's illness, and I don't see those aunts and ladies coming to say goodbye.

As he was talking, a teenager rushed out of the Hanlian Garden.

Qiu Chen, the son of those concubines, has seen it today, and when he saw this young man who was gorgeously dressed and had a handsome appearance that was somewhat similar to the Li family, Qiu Chen knew that this must be the little brother-in-law who had never met, Qin Hao, the second son of the Duke of Liang.

Chen also reminded in a low voice beside him: "This is the sixth master, Qin Hao, Brother Hao!" ”

Qiu Chen hummed in a low voice, looked calmly at Qin Hao who rushed out and stood on the steps, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's the sixth brother, right?" In the morning, I will recognize the sect in person, and Brother Hao went to school and couldn't see him. I'm your sister-in-law. ”

Qin Hao snorted angrily: "Sister-in-law? ”

Qiu Chen smiled and then asked, "I heard that Madame is not feeling well, but now she is better?" ”

It's better not to mention his mother's illness, as soon as he mentioned this, Qin Hao's eyes turned red, but he forced himself not to show his timidity, glared at Qiu Chen and said, "Are you embarrassed to ask?" If you hadn't disobeyed your mother, your mother wouldn't have fallen ill! ”

Qiu Chen put a smile on his face and said, "Sixth brother, please be careful!" ”

"I just got married yesterday, and I haven't even seen my wife's face before, so why disobey me...... What's more, if the lady is in poor health, she shouldn't hold on to these arguments at this time, and it is important to hurry up and ask for medical treatment for the lady. ”

After a pause, seeing that Qin Hao was about to speak indignantly, Qiu Chen didn't give him a chance to speak, and directly asked the Sun family who was following Qin Hao: "Grandma Sun, what did the imperial doctor say when he came over just now?" Can you open a prescription? ”

Mama Sun originally looked at Qin Hao and questioned Qiu Chen, and felt a sigh of relief, who wanted to be blocked by Qiu Chen speechless in a blink of an eye. At this time, when I heard Qiu Chen ask so seriously, my heart moved, and I replied honestly: "Grandma Hui, just now the imperial doctor came over, saying that Mrs. was overworked and depressed, which caused her liver yang to become hyperactive, so that she was dizzy and even fainted...... If you can't get rid of the depression in your heart, this disease can not be cured by decoction. ”

Qiu Chen pondered silently, Li's this is a heart disease, and heart disease should be treated with heart medicine. She doesn't think that she is a heart medicine, the reason why Li is flustered and always wants to use some small means is just because she has no sense of security. This sense of security is not something she can give, the one who wants the male owner of this family, the man of the Li family, and the Tianqin Xiuyi of the Li family can only give it. However, after the Li family touched the nail on her, Qin Xiuyi immediately took action to deprive her of the right to be a housekeeper...... This is almost what women value most in this era, which shows that Qin Xiuyi is impatient and doesn't trust her...... In Li's mind, her sky has fallen, can she not get sick?

Just thinking about it, Qin Hao became a little impatient, and shouted at Sun: "Grandma Sun, don't talk to her, she can disobey her mother, how can she find a way to treat her mother!" ”

Qiu Chen just figured it out, and was shouted at by Qin Hao, so he raised his head, looked at Qin Hao who was snorting on the steps, and said calmly: "Sixth brother, don't be willful, Grandma Sun is worried about Mrs. Sun to say this...... In this case, you will first go back and take care of your wife. I heard that Dr. Mu had entered Beijing, so I sent someone to invite him, and if I could invite Dr. Mu, my wife's illness would not be worried. ”

The old man Mu, who was out of tune in Qiu Chen's eyes, was extremely prestigious outside, and was called an evil doctor in the rivers and lakes, and a noble family called Mu Divine Doctor. I heard Chen mention this before, but I didn't expect it to be used today.

As soon as these words came out, not only the Sun family, but even Qin Hao showed a look of disbelief. Qiu Chen was relieved when he saw it, looking at the expressions of these two people, he should have heard of Old Man Mu's reputation. Zhilu Dao Old Man Mu has good medical skills, and he is willing to believe in that strange old man.

She has no grudge against the Li family, but the Li family gave her the first meal when she entered the door, and she didn't want people to be fools, so she rejected the Li family when she recognized her relatives. But then again, the Li family is just a poor person, he is not very loved by Qin Xiuyi, and he does not have much respect, he has to take care of the housework, manage the concubines and children for Qin Xiuyi, and try his best to survive in such a place that is no less than the backyard of the palace...... This is a difficult and dangerous one...... Alas!

On the other hand, Qiu Chen looked at the Li family far more pleasing to the eye than Qin Xiuyi, if she could achieve peaceful coexistence through communication, it was best, if not, she would only do a good deed every day. didn't look at others, looked at Qin Zheng, and she couldn't bear to watch the teenage child in front of her spend his days in fear every day.

The Sun family rejoiced, pulled Qin Hao and said with a smile: "If you can invite back Doctor Mu, my wife's illness will be cured." ”

Although Qin Hao was a little embarrassed, he still nodded. turned around and bowed to Qiu Chen: "Thank you!" "But I refuse to call my sister-in-law! What a simple and awkward child!

Qiu Chen didn't care about him, and only said to the Sun family: "You go back and take care of Mrs. Hao, I will send someone to find Doctor Mu, and send someone over as soon as there is news." ”

The Sun family also thanked him again and again, Qiu Chen waved his hand, and turned back with the Chen family and the girl.

On the way, he sent Chengying to the second gate to find Qin Li and they passed the word, went to the Baishi Bridge to have a look, and asked Old Man Mu to come over to treat the Li family.

Chengying responded and left, and Hanguang whispered beside him: "She framed Mrs. like that, and Mrs. also asked her to see a doctor!" ”

Chengying Hanguang has not been with Qiu Chen for a long time, less than half a year, but the girls around Qiu Chen have been with her for a long time, and they seem to have been infected, without too much utilitarianism, their minds are open-minded, and their natural character is gradually revealed. is different from Chengying's steady and reticent, Hanguang is a little straightforward, and sometimes he also expresses his own opinions.

Qiu Chen looked back at Hanguang, sighed and sighed: "She is targeting me, she just doesn't understand me...... I didn't think about earning the family property of the Duke of Liang, nor did I think about what the Hou Ye inherited the title of Duke of Liang, I didn't seek wealth, and I didn't seek control of the Duke of Liang, and I didn't have any conflict of interest with Mrs. Li, what else could she do for me? ”

Hanguang didn't know too much about some of the details, and looked at Chen ignorantly, and saw that Chen showed the same sigh of emotion, but unlike his wife's frankness and generosity, Chen's eyes obviously revealed a touch of deep pain and regret.

When he came back from Hanlian Garden, washed up and changed into a soft half-used dress and sat on the kang, Chengying came over to report: "Madam, Brother Qin Xiao took the letter and went to Baishiqiao, just now the letter has been transmitted, Mr. Mu has already come over, and he went directly to Hanlian Garden." Mr. Mu also said that he asked Mrs. to arrange a place for his two boys to wait, and he would see Mrs. Li after seeing a doctor, and then come to pick up the two boys back. ”

Qiu Chen was sitting firmly on the ground listening to what was going on, but suddenly jumped up from the kang, ran out as soon as he got his shoes, and asked as he ran, "What about them?" What about Afu Aman? ”

Even if Chengying was equipped with kung fu, he was taken aback by Qiu Chen, and in a flash, Qiu Chen had already rushed out of the inner room, asking Yuegui and the others who were waiting in the outhouse.

Chengying shook his head, laughed a little, and became a little sad. For the sake of the Hou Ye, Mrs. put the two children on the side of the Baishi Bridge, she must always be worried and worried!

Immediately following the chase out, Chengying saw that Qiu Chen had been stopped by the Chen family, and was smiling and sorting out her clothes, while Yuegui squatted down and put on Qiu Chen's shoes.

Chengying breathed a sigh of relief, although the room was full of them who came with her, but there were many people waiting in the Wutong Garden outside the house who were rough maids and women of the Liang Guo Mansion, these people don't look at their low status, but no one dared to say whether it was someone else's eyes and ears, if the lady rushed out of the house in disheveled clothes like just now, it is certain that before tomorrow, the entire Liang Guo Mansion will be spread all over the Jingbei Hou Mrs. Anning County Lord Unkempt, and it may even be rumored to hinder the rules of women's morality. If it is spread outside, it will be even more difficult for Mrs. to gain a foothold in the capital in the future.

Several people surrounded Qiu Chen to help her take care of her appearance and clothes, and Chengying also came up to support Qiu Chen's arm, and said with relief: "Madame, don't be anxious, the little master and young lady are in front, Madame, and wait here with peace of mind, I'll go and bring them in." ”

Chen smiled and bent his knees, and said: "Madame is relieved, and the slaves and maids also followed and sent everyone away!" ”

The people Chen said to be sent are naturally the ones who don't know the details, Qiu Chen also calmed down at this time, so he suppressed his excitement, nodded steadily, turned around slowly, and walked to the chair in the hall to sit. Use actions to show that you are waiting with peace of mind and no longer impulsive.

This time, Chengying turned back quickly, but after a cup of tea, the curtain of the door was raised, and a round and chubby figure rushed in from outside.

"Mother's ......" Man'er combed two bags and buns, dressed in a boy in Tsing Yi, rushed in and plunged into Qiu Chen's arms.

Qiu Chen hugged the little girl, rushed up with joy and sourness, and his eyes were red.

Although she often went to Anyang before, and it was ten days and a half a month to say goodbye to the children, but at that time, the children were in their own home, with Yang Shumeng taking care of them, those from the Chen family and the Daxing family taking care of them, and Lan Ying and others taking care of them.

This time she took the children into the capital, she was in a completely strange place, and the children were also in a completely strange place, although they were taken care of by their grandmothers and girls, and the old man Mu was protected, knowing that there would be no danger, but Qiu Chen was uncontrollably worried about the two children.
