The Overseer's House is divided into an inner and outer court.

The inner courtyard is the home, the outer courtyard is the office building, and the important meetings of the division and the army are all in the military government.

Si Xingpei was talking to the staff officers about things, but he didn't see Gu Qingzhou.

But the fifth aunt was too flowery, and when she saw Si Xingpei's back, she was so nervous.

"Fang is the eldest young marshal, has Miss Gu seen him?" Hua Yan covered up and asked Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said lightly: "I have seen it a few times in the Si Mansion." ”

Hua Yan bowed his head, and without mentioning Si Xingpei, he bypassed the meeting hall in front of the Overseer's Palace, and entered the inner courtyard directly through an arch.

"There's a small road here, let's walk over it and don't have to take a detour." The fifth aunt is too much.

She took Gu Qingzhou and entered through the path at the arch.

The Overseer's Mansion rockery pond is a quiet environment.

Hanahiko's yard is located in the southwesternmost corner, near the back door, a small two-story building with a small yard.

The yard is small, with only two peach trees planted, and the branches are flourishing at this time.

The green bricks are paved and swept cleanly; Under the southwest eaves, tables and chairs with boxwood are placed, which are supposed to be used for playing chess at dusk.

Hanahiko's bedroom is on the second floor, which is very clean and ventilated on all sides.

"You see, there's no moisture in this room." Hanahiko said.

Gu Qingzhou groaned slightly.

She stood in Hua Yan's room and looked at the surrounding environment: it was ventilated and quiet, and it was difficult to be infected with damp heat and external evils.

Excluding environmental problems, Gu Qingzhou almost knew the root of Huayan's problem.

At this time, Gu Qingzhou can be diagnosed.

"Fifth aunt, do you like to drink?" Gu Qingzhou said.

"I don't particularly love it, but I will drink it occasionally. The Overseer was a drinker, and sometimes when he came over for dinner, I would accompany him for a few sips. Hua Yan said.

Hua Yan actually loves to drink very much, and the amount of alcohol is also very large, of course, it is still a little short of being addicted to alcohol.

She felt that drinking might not be very good, so Gu Qingzhou asked, she was embarrassed to lie and didn't want to tell Gu Qingzhou.

"Then your abdominal pain is caused by drinking." Gu Qingzhou still said.

Even if Hua Yan refused to admit it, Gu Qingzhou could see it.

Hanahiko couldn't believe it, she didn't expect to get sick when she drank alcohol, when she was a child, her grandparents used to say that alcohol cures all diseases, where you are uncomfortable, just drink some wine.

Hua Yan was puzzled: "But, I also drank a few cups when I was a child, why did I only get sick in the last half a year?" ”

"You're a northerner, aren't you?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Hanahiko nodded.

She was born in the North, and when she was young, her family was still well-to-do, and she was a small wealthy merchant in the local area.

It's a pity that there are military disasters every year, and the business is completely regretted, and the bullshit commander still wants her to be his aunt's wife, Huayan's father disagreed, and ran to the south with his family overnight.

When he ran away, he only brought gold and silver, and lost a lot of the title deed of the house.

After arriving in the south, Hanahiko went to school and her father returned to business.

Who knew that his father, who had always been shrewd, was deceived and lost all his family wealth.

Hanahiko's father couldn't bear such a defeat and fell ill in a fit of rage.

He was sick for less than two months, and then he left, leaving behind a large family of orphans and widows.

Hanahiko is the eldest daughter in the family and has five younger brothers and sisters. After graduating from high school, she gave up the idea of studying abroad and worked as a small editor in a newspaper to earn money to support her family.

During an interview, her camera hit Si Dujun's face, and Si Dujun knew her.

She was scared to death, but the Overseer laughed.

Later, she was taken to the mansion by the Si Overseer and became the aunt and wife of the Si family.

Before that, Hua Yan was still an independent woman, but then she gave up completely and lived a pampered life, and she sometimes thought about it, and she was a little unwilling.

"You're not used to the rainy seasons of spring and summer in the south. When it comes to the rainy season, you have a heavy body, especially during that time, and you like to use wine to ward off cold and dampness, right? Gu Qingzhou asked again.

Hanahiko exclaimed: "That's true. ”

Every time he was heavy, Hanahiko drank wine to relieve it.

"Because of alcohol addiction and the humidity of the rainy season, the dampness in your body causes dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder. The dampness and heat of the liver and gallbladder will block the middle coke, and the qi will not be able to pass and the abdomen will be painful.

Pancreatitis in Western medicine only treats the symptoms of your pain, and if the liver and gallbladder dampness and heat are not removed, your cause will recur. Gu Qingzhou said truthfully.

Hua Yan's pulse is thin and counting, it should be dampness and heat in the body, Gu Qingzhou was afraid that it was an external cause, and specially brought some medicine that could dispel dampness and prepared to put it in her room.

Now it seems that it is not needed at all.

"Can that be cured?" Hanahiko asked nervously.

Gu Qingzhou bowed.

"Do you want to quit drinking?" Hanahiko asked again.

"Quit it." Gu Qingzhou said.

Hanahiko frowned.

Gu Qingzhou prescribed her medicine and asked her to take five doses, one dose a day.

Hua Yan took it and looked at it carefully, and the recipe read: "Betel nut five coins, magnolia bark three coins, grass fruit three coins, Zhimu five coins, Hangbai peony five coins, astragalus five coins"

There are more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs.

Hua Yan thought of the bitterness of taking Chinese medicine, and couldn't help frowning again.

Gu Qingzhou sat on the sofa in Hua Yan's room, and suddenly asked, "Mrs. Auntie, how many commonly used maids do you have in this house?" ”

Hua Yan was puzzled, his eyes lifted from the prescription, and said, "Four, what's wrong?" ”

"Do you trust them?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Hua Yan was silent, smiled covertly, and continued to read the prescription.

Trust?

Big families live their lives, and there is no such thing as trust.

Gu Qingzhou said again: "Then let me put it another way, do you doubt that they will harm you?" ”

When Hua Yan heard this, his face sank slightly.

To be honest, she didn't trust these maids, and even suspected that they were harming her and being someone else's eyeliner.

Hua Yan also used a method to catch their handles, but when one was caught, it was just stealing, so he was replaced and re-entered.

She felt that she had been fooled, as if her loyalty had been replaced, and she had another eyeliner instead.

In his own room, everyone wants to be cleaner, and would rather serve less.

She also told Madame, but Madame did not agree.

Madame said that the Overseer's Mansion had its own rules for living, and that it was difficult for Madame to reduce the number of servants for no reason, and that the Overseer thought that Madame was harsh on her concubine.

"They shouldn't dare," Hanahiko's voice was inaudible.

Gu Qingzhou said: "In this way, I will come up with a simple idea for you to try the servant's loyalty." ”

Hanahiko was intrigued.

Gu Qingzhou said again: "I didn't come up with an idea in vain, I'll give you an address, and you go get the medicine." If my method is effective, you can send a few hundred yuan to thank you for the good medicine at the pharmacy. ”

For the military junta's favored aunt's wife, a few hundred yuan is naturally a trivial matter.

"Okay." Hanahiko groaned and agreed.

Gu Qingzhou told her the address of "He's Pharmacy" and asked her to take the prescription to grab the medicine.

Then, Gu Qingzhou attached her ear and muttered a few words in Hua Yan's ear, asking her how to test it.

Hanahiko remembered.

After finishing speaking, Gu Qingzhou left from the inner courtyard of the military government.

As soon as she walked near the arch, Gu Qingzhou remembered that Hua Yan took her to copy the path, but she ran into Si Mu who entered the door.

Between the arch and the cloister, there is a path paved with stones, not really a road, but a makeshift one for copying, which can only accommodate one person.

It rained a few days ago, and there was wet mud all around, and when Gu Qingzhou walked cautiously halfway, Si Mu came to meet him.

The two met in a narrow way, a little inseparable, Si Mu seemed to be waiting for Gu Qingzhou to stand in the mud next to him, or retreat.

However, Gu Qingzhou's side was farther away, and it was shorter for Si Mu to retreat, so she felt that it should be Si Mu retreat, so she waited.

She was wearing cloth shoes, a pair of white snow silk shoes embroidered with mandarin ducks, and she would never let them into the mud. As soon as the muddy water got wet, her shoes were ruined.

There was a stalemate, and when both of them were waiting for the other to retreat, Si Mu leaned over and grabbed Gu Qingzhou's waist with both hands.

"Ahh Gu Qing was shocked.

In exclamation, Si Mu picked up Gu Qingzhou, and as soon as he turned around, the two of them changed directions.

Simoo solved the problem very simply.

Gu Qingzhou was shocked into a cold sweat.

After changing directions, Si Mu's face was expressionless, there was no ripple in his eyes, he didn't look at Gu Qingzhou, he turned around and continued walking.

Gu Qingzhou patted his frightened heart and was stunned for a moment. What happened just now never had a sense of reality, and Gu Qingzhou walked out in a daze.

When she went back, she remembered the scene just now, and she was still a little incredulous, but she didn't expect Si Mu to pick her up like that.

According to Simu's personality, he should quit and get out of the way.

Gu Qingzhou felt deeply strange.

At that scene, Gu Qingzhou was not the only one who was deeply impressed, but Si Qiongzhi, who was standing under the flower tree in the distance, also saw it and was shocked.

Si Qiongzhi knew his brother, and Fang Cai's actions seemed to be a detour, but in fact it was a bit playful.

Simu didn't have to do that, he could even stand in the mud and his boots wouldn't get dirty.

He picked up Gu Qingzhou with goodwill to play.

Si Qiongzhi understood that Si Mu didn't hate Gu Qingzhou!

If he hated it, Si Mu would probably retreat directly to the arch and let Gu Qingzhou pass, instead of turning around so intimately.

Si Mu is a gentleman, he does things with grace, if it was Si Xingpei, it is estimated that he would directly push the person who blocked the way into the mud next to him, but Si Mu would not.

"How can this be, the second brother should hate Gu Qingzhou very much!" Si Qiongzhi was confused in his heart, and at the same time worried.

Gu Qingzhou won't really become her sister-in-law, right?

Mrs. Si likes Gu Qingzhou, and so does Si Overseer, if Si Mu also likes her, this marriage is a certainty!

But Si Qiongzhi and her mother hate Gu Qingzhou!

What qualifications does Gu Qingzhou have to become the future mistress of the Overseer's Mansion?

"Second brother won't be so visionless, right?" Si Qiongzhi was terrified.

It's impossible, her second brother's first love is a peerless beauty, Gu Qingzhou's dirt bun can't be compared!

If a person loves roses, he can't look down on green onions, right?

"What is Miss Gu doing today?" Si Qiongzhi asked the maid who followed her.

The maid said, "I don't know yet." ”

"Check it out!" Si Qiongzhi drank vigorously.

The maid was startled, whispered yes, turned and ran away.
