Returning from Lu Zhenyuan's Yanshan Courtyard, Zhihua heard the second-class maid Chun Yan report that Qinghe was sick. Sure enough, just like in the previous life, the person who ate the cake would vomit and diarrhea. "Ask the doctor." Zhihua's face was anxious, and she hurriedly told Chunyan to ask for a doctor. "By the way, I heard that there is a very famous Han lady in Jishitang, you can go and invite her. Qinghe is so sick that if the condition is tricky, I can still stay with Han Niangzi for one night, I am also relieved. "No matter how sick Qinghe is, Han Niangzi is going to stay overnight tonight. Although Zhihua was seven or eight points sure that she could avoid her younger brother from falling into the water again, she also had to invite Han Niangzi to stay overnight in preparation for her later efforts.

Han Niangzi came to Beijing from other places in June this year to look for her daughter. She was born in a family of doctors and Taoists, and her ancestors had a royal doctor, but the imperial doctor made a testament after Zhishi, and the descendants were not allowed to enter the palace again, so the Han family was not famous. She is just married to an ordinary small family, and her husband's surname is Zhao. Soon after marriage, her husband was called into the army, leaving only one daughter, named Pan'er, who is six years old this year. At the beginning of the year, the family received news from the army that at the end of last year, the Meng people attacked, and her husband's army also went to the battlefield. The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield after the war did not find her husband's body, but they did find his military badge. Limeng is a neighboring country of Jing'an, the land is barren, the Limeng people are vicious and cruel, every autumn and winter will harass the Jing'an border pass, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil. In the battle with the Limeng people, many soldiers in Jing'an were trampled into minced meat by horses, so although they only found the military card, the military camp also reported the news of their death in the war. Han Niangzi's family was devastated, her in-laws both fell ill, she endured the pain of bereavement, handled her husband's funeral, and served her sick in-laws, but she didn't want to make mistakes in her busyness, and her young daughter sneaked out of the house without anyone to take care of her, and was abducted and ran away. As soon as this happened, Han Niangzi's in-laws couldn't bear it anymore and died. The brother-in-law scolded her for being a mourning star, and immediately wrote a letter of resignation on behalf of her brother and kicked her out of the house. Han Niangzi also wanted to kill herself to make amends to her deceased husband's in-laws, but her daughter's whereabouts were unknown, and if she didn't find her daughter, she would have no shame to face her husband's ancestors even if she died. In this way, Han Niangzi held on to this breath, traced all the way from her hometown Lingnan, and inquired to find the capital. After entering Beijing, all the clues to find his daughter were broken. Han Niangzi, who was exhausted, decided to rely on her ancestral medical skills to sit in Jishitang, not only to support herself, but also to spread the news among the patients she came into contact with every day to find her daughter. She has excellent medical skills and is a woman, and she is gradually very favored by the ladies of the back house. Han Niangzi did not refuse to come to the doctor, because she felt that maybe she could meet the daughter who was sold to be a maid in the backyard of a nobleman's house. In order to find her daughter, she also took the trouble to mention the past to people many times and describe the characteristics of her daughter, but those women in the back house took her experience as a story to pass on by word of mouth, so although she only practiced medicine for five months, her fame was not small. It's just that the current impression of her is that of a "poor woman who lost her daughter", rather than a later medical skill. Zhihua was very impressed by Han Niangzi, because when she went out to Dajue Temple to light the lantern for her mother and brother, when she passed by the Bailu River in front of the temple, she saw the corpses of Han Niangzi, mother and daughter that others had just fished out of the water. At that time, I heard the emotion of passers-by, and I knew the story of Han Niangzi. It turned out that Han Niangzi's daughter was bought by a childless farmer in the suburbs of Beijing, and she was originally going to be adopted as a daughter, but after raising her for a few months, the hostess became pregnant, and now she was sad. Instead of thanking her for the blessings she brought to her heirs, the family said that she was "an idle eater", shouting and drinking all day long, beating and scolding. Later, after the hostess gave birth, she was even more intolerable, and persuaded her husband to sell her into the Qinglou. When Han Niangzi found her daughter two years later, the eight-year-old girl was not finished, she was tortured like a walking corpse in the green building, her little body was bruised everywhere, and there was no good meat. In a fit of rage, Han Niangzi set fire to the Qinglou late at night and threw her daughter into the Egret River. This story was so tragic that Zhihua couldn't eat for a few days after hearing about it. She was so impressed that she remembered the name of the family that had adopted the little girl now. The reason why it is specified that Chunyan wants to invite Han Niangzi is also to help the poor mother and daughter. Zhihua is now desperate to prove that as long as she is willing to work hard, the tragedy of her life can be changed!

Han Niangzi arrived soon, and after seeing Qinghe and prescribing medicine, Chunxiao took her to call Zhihua back.

"The little woman has seen Miss Lu." I saw the woman in front of me, with a dignified face, although she was wearing simple and plain coarse cloth clothes, her demeanor was downright and generous, neither humble nor arrogant. Her eyes were clear and firm, Zhihua liked it when she saw it, and remembered that there was a place for a housekeeper mother in Qiuhua Courtyard, and she suddenly had a thought in her heart. "Mrs. Han, please take a seat. Bai Lan, it seems that there are still some high-grade Biluochun that my mother gave me last time, you can go and make some. ”

Even after receiving such a grand reception from Zhihua, Han Niangzi was calm and not flattered at all. She unhurriedly stated Qinghe's condition and the prescription she was prescribed. Although Zhihua didn't care about these, she didn't interrupt, and after Han Niangzi finished speaking, she asked meaningfully: "According to what Han Niangzi saw, Qinghe ate something that shouldn't be eaten this time to become sick like this?" "Zhihua deliberately misled Han Niangzi at this time, Qinghe is her maid, even if she eats something to become ill like this, even if it is not her instructions, it is what she expected. Ordinary doctors, when encountering this situation, the master has such an expression, and he will say that the maid is just a common bad stomach, and those who don't know how to be flexible will reply that they have taken laxative drugs, Zhihua figured out this matter and tried to find out what kind of person Han Niangzi is.

Han Niangzi didn't answer Zhihua's words directly, she asked instead, "I don't know what kind of food Miss Qinghe used before she was sick?" Is there anything left for the little women to see? Zhihua smiled faintly when she heard this, and she was very satisfied. If Qinghe's illness is her handiwork, then what is presented is ordinary food, and Han Niangzi's answer after reading it is the kind of answer of a sleek person, on the contrary, she only needs to point out what she sees wrong, and the main family can't blame her. is so thoughtful, Zhihua is the housekeeper mother of Qiuhua Courtyard in her heart, and she is no longer the only one.

"Lunch is used with Bai Lan and them, now that everyone is not sick, it shouldn't be a problem with lunch......" Zhihua seemed to think: "Oh, by the way, Aunt Zhou also made some pastries with her own hands before lunch, I can't eat Qinghe, she still has a few leftovers." Bai Lan, you go to the inner room and bring it out for Mrs. Han to see. ”

Sure enough, Han Niangzi read a piece of leftover pastry, and after smelling it, she pointed out that these pastries are very heavy laxatives, because they are too heavy, people will not only have diarrhea after eating, but also vomit, and it is not impossible for people who are weak to die after using it.

After completing her mission, Han Niangzi got up to say goodbye, but Zhihua instructed Bai Lan to guard the door and leave her to talk alone. "Han Niangzi, I have also heard your story and heard it...... You're looking for a daughter, aren't you? When it came to her daughter, Han Niangzi's calm color was finally broken, and she exclaimed excitedly: "The little woman is looking for her daughter, I don't know the eldest lady...... Any news on this? "I just want to ask Mrs. Han, I don't know what her plans are after finding her daughter?" It turned out that I was just asking myself what I was going to do in the future...... It seems that he is another person who wants to recruit himself. Han Niangzi regained her calm. In the past few months, it is not that there are no nobles who want to recruit her into the house, but Han Niangzi has her own thoughts, she is now sitting in the Jishitang, although the money she earns every month is not as rich as entering the house, but it is better because there are many people in contact every day, and it is easy to find out the news, so she is unwilling to accept the solicitation no matter how she finds her daughter. "If Miss can help the little woman find her daughter, the little woman is willing to make cows and horses for the young lady, and she will never give up!" Under normal circumstances, most of the main families who want to recruit her know the meaning of the strings, and they will not mention the solicitation again, but will only take the opportunity to say that they will help her find out Yunyun, but this time, she heard a reply that was completely opposite to what she expected.

"I do have news of your daughter," Zhihua looked serious, and her voice was firm, so that people could know that she was not lying as soon as they heard it, "Don't hide it from Han Niangzi, I am now lacking a housekeeper mother in Qiuhua Courtyard, I see Han Niangzi today, I very much hope to hire you to come, but I am by no means a person who wants to repay the favor, whether Han Niangzi is willing to come or not, I will tell the truth about your daughter's news, and I will never hide it!" After being stunned for a moment, Han Niangzi believed what she heard, she quickly got up and knelt on the ground, choked and said, "Thanks to Miss's great kindness, and I don't dislike the slave maid is widowed and retired, no matter what Miss wants the slave to do, the slave and maid have no words!" It's just that the little girl is young, and she has changed so much......" Before she finished speaking, Zhihua said: "What's so difficult about this, just bring it to Qiuhua Courtyard together." In fact, Mrs. Han wanted to beg her to let her personally send her daughter back to the Zhao family, but she didn't want Miss Lu to say this. The daughter is young, even if she enters the Lu Mansion, she can't do anything, and she is really not at ease when she sends her back to her husband's house, Han Niangzi's gratitude is really unbearable, and she cried bitterly, "Miss is very kind, our mother and daughter have nothing to repay, and we will serve Miss wholeheartedly in the future, and we will never give up!" After speaking, regardless of Zhihua's support, he barely swallowed his head nine times, and when he got up, his forehead was already bruised. In Jing'an, the nine rings are the greatest gift for a slave to express his loyalty, and the slave who performs this great gift will not be a master for life, and will live and die with his master. "Han Niangzi, there will be important matters that require you to sit in Qiuhua Courtyard today, so I can't help you pick up your daughter for the time being, but don't worry, I will ask someone to accompany you to pick it up early tomorrow morning." Zhihua understood her eagerness to see her daughter, so she patiently explained to her that she suspected that Aunt Zhou would make a move today to harm her brother. It was a matter of the life of the eldest young master, and Mrs. Han also knew the severity, so she couldn't help but think of her daughter, and followed Bai Lan out to familiarize herself with the environment.

Zhihua knew that she was still not at ease if she didn't see her daughter Han Niangzi with her own eyes, and she was not in a hurry to let Han Niangzi sign the deed, and when she received her daughter tomorrow, it would be a matter of course.
