Qingdi thought of a very important question again, and she asked Ying Konglai, "Then do the eldest young master and lady agree with me to take over the medicine hall?" ”

Ying Konglai didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a while, and said to Qingdi: "The eldest young master's side should be fine, because these two shops are nothing to the eldest young master." And Madame's words...... The second young lady doesn't seem to like the lady very much. ”

Qingdi's smile was a little stiff, and he nodded: "Yes, when I first met Mrs. in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. didn't like me very much. ”

"Madame has single-handedly manipulated the trivial matters of the Chu family's house for many years, resulting in her domineering and authoritarian nature, so she will only like soft and obedient people, and will not like people with a character like the second young lady." Ying Konglai calmly analyzed with Qingdi, and spoke unceremoniously: "In fact, there is no woman in the mansion who will like the temperament of the second young lady, they will either hate you and will unite against you, or they will be afraid of you, and they will follow you to deal with others. ”

Qingdi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and asked him, "Is it so serious?" I wouldn't hurt anyone, so how could I be so terrible. ”

Ying Konglai smiled lightly and said, "What I said is serious, but I still have to remind the second young lady that if you want to live a better life in this kind of big mansion, it is not possible to be maverick, and it is not enough to be alone, you must form a faction." The life of this back house is not much simpler than that of the government. ”

Qingdi's face was white, and his eyes were full of reluctance. After a few months of intrigue in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't want to live a second time in her life. Could it be that when you get to the Chu family, do you want to continue to live like this? And she planned to take Yu'er over before, if the Chu family is also in such a dire situation, then it is better to let Yu'er stay with the Yin family, at least the Yin family has the imperial concubine to suppress her, and she doesn't dare to do anything to Yu'er.

She thought for a while, then sighed: "If it is intrigue and pretense, I will not be worse than anyone else." But it's really tiring. ”

"You'll get used to it slowly." Ying Konglai smiled lightly, and then said about the shop just now: "If Madame knew that the master had the intention of giving the second young master and the second young lady a shop, she would definitely oppose it." But even if she opposes it, it won't get in the way, the real head of the Chu family is still the master. Therefore, the fact that the second young lady can control the shop should be eight. Nine is not far from ten. When your shop makes money, you can ask for more shops with the master, or even ask to live separately from the eldest master, and after you move out, you don't need to live such a life of intrigue. But not now. ”

Qingdi nodded: "Thank you for your kind reminder, I won't be willful in the future." ”

Ying Konglai said softly, "Hmm", and said: "The second young lady can become friends with the eldest young lady first, the eldest young lady is docile and kind, and she is very good to everyone." ”

Qingdi nodded, remembering Duanmu's help to her in the morning, she was grateful, and she still had a good impression of this sister-in-law.

After saying these words, the two of them didn't seem to have anything else to say, they were silent with each other for a long time, and then suddenly said: "By the way, Second Young Lady, do you know why the old man loves the second young master so much?" ”

Qingdi was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't it true that fathers love their children?" Like Feng Boyang, even his own son is willing to abandon and kill a minority, after all. ”

"It is certain to love his son, but the master is not loving the second young master, but doting on him. But the second young lady, please think about it, the second young master is so mentally minded, and he is also a concubine, why does the master dote on him so much? Ying Konglai stared at Qingdi tightly, and added: "The master has not paid so much effort to the eldest prince. ”

Yingkong is very reasonable, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the head of the family to pay so much effort to treat a concubine like Chu Yaocen and give him so many rights. But Chu Chengguan's doting on Chu Yaocen simply threw off his sister-in-law a few streets. Fortunately, Chu Yaocen was not spoiled.

"Why is that?" Qingdi really couldn't guess, so he asked Yingkong.

"Because of the mother of the second young master." Ying Konglai's voice lowered a little and said, "The second young master's biological mother is a foreign woman, if the second young lady carefully observes the second young master's eyebrows and eyes, you will also find that the second young master's appearance is somewhat different from that of the Li people." When the old man was doing business near the frontier, it happened that there was a war on the frontier, and the biological mother of the second young master fled to the country of Li, and met the master, and the master married her back. ”

Qingdi nodded, roughly guessing what Yingkong was going to say, and asked him, "He must be very fond of Yaozen's biological mother." ”

Ying Konglai nodded: "However, the second young master's biological mother has already married, and her husband has just died, she is helpless and very pitiful." At that time, the lord was opposed by many people, and the brothers who worked hard with the lord said that the widow who had just died was not worthy of the lord, and the lady was even more reluctant to let this woman enter the Chu family half a step, but the lord still married, and brought her into the door without hesitation, and seven months later, the second young master was born, and she was promoted to the side lady. ”

"Seven months?" Qingdi had still heard the phrase "October pregnancy", and she asked, "Is Yao Cen a premature baby?" Was it because of premature birth that he was mentally abnormal? ”

Ying Konglai chuckled and shook his head, and said: "The second young lady thought that it was born prematurely at seven months, but many people didn't think so at that time, they all thought that the second young master was not the widow left by the woman's previous husband, and the old man was forced to drip blood in front of everyone to recognize his relatives, and it turned out that the second young master was the master's biological son." ”

Qingdi thought carefully about what Ying Konglai had just said, nodded and said, "Yao Cen's mother must have been under a lot of pressure at that time. ”

"That's certain, but it's okay, both mother and son survived. Premature birth did not cause the second young master to be worse than normal people, and the second young master was also very intelligent and capable of writing and martial arts, so the master loved him very much at that time. However, at that time, the master had the same love for the eldest young master and the second young master, and he didn't want to dot on the second young master so favoritly now. Ying Konglai continued: "The reason for the current situation lies in the death of the second young master's mother. It is said that it was a cold winter, the second young master was playing by the river and accidentally fell into the water, Mrs. Fang jumped desperately to save the second young master, but she drowned herself. At that time, the master was still doing business outside, and when he came back, the side lady had already entered the ground. The person you love the most, but you haven't even seen her for the last time, you should be able to imagine how sad the old man was at the beginning, right?

After the second young master was rescued, he was seriously ill and in a coma for many days, and when he woke up again, he was already crazy and stupid. The old man felt sorry for Mrs. Fang in his heart, and even more sorry for the second young master, so he doted on the second young master like now. ”

Yingkong paused for a moment, and when he saw Qingdi nodding, he continued: "The master searched for famous doctors all over the world, and he didn't cure the second young master's illness, and later found the white divine doctor in Luoyang, and lived with the white divine doctor for more than a year, and only gradually recovered a little, and understood some things, but he could never return to the wisdom he once had." Ying Konglai sighed, and there was some sympathy in his tone: "Second Young Madam, I also know more or less about your life experience, in fact, you and the second young master are both fallen people at the end of the world, although the second young master still has his father's love, but this can't make up for what he lost." ”

Qingdi lowered his head, his fingers tightened slightly, he didn't expect Chu Yaocen, who was as enthusiastic and cheerful as a little sun, to have such a past.

When Yingkong came to see Qingdi's appearance, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he got up and said: "Second Young Lady, I have said a lot today, and I hope that Second Young Lady will not think that I am too troublesome." I just think that since the second young lady has already married, she should have a certain understanding of the second young master. I don't dare to ask the second young lady what she will do to the second young master after listening to my words, but at least I can guarantee that every word I say is true. ”

Qingdi also quickly stood up and said to him: "Thank you, I really didn't expect Yao Cen to have such a past, and I didn't know that he became what he is today because of an accident." He deserves a better life, and maybe with his original intelligence, he has already done a lot, and he doesn't need to intersect with people like me......"

"Things will never be the worst, maybe meeting you is the ultimate meaning of the second young master's misfortune." Shadow Konglai's face was still the original light and breeze, and he smiled and said to Qingdi: "It's really not early, Konglai will leave first." ”

Qingdi nodded, sent Yingkong out of the courtyard gate, and then went back to his room.

At this time, Chu Yaocen was boredly teasing Xiao Yan Xi, gently touching Yan Xi's big tail with one hand, holding his chin with the other, and asked, "Yan Xi, tell me, why does everyone like to be empty?" If the little fox also likes to come to the sky, will she ignore me in the future? Will she marry Sora in the future and not marry me? ”

Qingdi stood behind him, hearing him say such things, he couldn't help but smile lightly, walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder, lowered his head slightly and said to him: "What are you thinking nonsense, he has a wife and children in the sky, how can I marry him?" ”

Chu Yaocen raised his head to look at Qingdi, and asked Qingdi with big gray eyes that did have some exotic feelings: "Then if you don't have a wife and children in the air, are you going to marry him?" ”

Qingdi was very helpless, thinking that this shadow was really powerful, and he could applaud the two of them, the wife doubted that her husband would fall in love with him, and the husband suspected that his wife would fall in love with him.

"No, I'm already married to you, so I won't marry anyone else." Qingdi replied to him with a smile, and then said seriously: "Yao Cen, I will definitely protect you well." ”

Chu Yaocen showed a big smile and nodded, "Hmm! ”

"Moreover, we have to work hard, and when we make money, we will move out of the Chu family, buy a house outside, and take Yu'er over, just the three of us to live, how about it?"

"Nope." Unexpectedly, Chu Yaocen actually rejected Qingdi.
