When I was groggy, the shadow of the sun was slanting westward, and the tired birds were returning to their nests.

Hui'er walked into the house lightly and whispered to me, saying that the Hou Ye had returned to the house and was waiting for a banquet in the living room to wash the dust for me.

I seem to have heard Qingwan talk about it today, and it is not good to delay at the moment, so I got up quickly, and after a simple freshening up, I was taken by Mama Yan, all the way through the corridor, across the water pavilion, and rushed to the living room.

The Hou Mansion is in decline, and some places in the mansion are obviously lacking in repair management compared to the Su Mansion, but the living room is resplendent and dazzling.

In the hall, the old lady, Qingwan, Mrs. Xu, and Qingqing were all there, and there were two strange men sitting on the side.

A man who is about thirty years old, dressed in brocade, with white flesh and skin, and a round face, like a smiling Maitreya, should be the Hou Ye.

The other person has no white face, and his eyebrows are also upright and delicate, but his eyes are constantly dripping and turning, and his nose is slightly hooked, giving people the feeling that he is not a good person.

Especially as soon as I stepped into the living room, he craned his neck and looked at me, smiling all over his face, looking me from head to toe.

Originally, whenever someone was smiling, they gave people the feeling of being gentle and close, and they suddenly had a good impression, but this man's eyes were naked, straightforward, and with a sneer, it made people feel as if they had swallowed a fly, and they were disgusting and uncomfortable.

I will seat all the people in the mansion, and I can't remember that there is such a person in the Hou Ye's mansion.

But this is a feast for the ladies of the house. As the head of the family and our brother-in-law, it makes sense for Hou Ye to eat at the same table. What is this person's identity?

Mrs. Xu had already stepped forward in two steps, took my hand, and pointed to the thirty-year-old man to introduce me, it was An Lehou.

Before I could salute and say goodbye, he had already stood up and laughed loudly: "It's all my own family, so I don't need to be polite." ”

The fine eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a mouthful of fine rice white teeth, which was really as pleasing as the smiling face Miller.

Mrs. Xu held my arm and didn't let me bow down. Then there was a whisper of pleasantries, nothing more than to ask me what I was not used to, although I told her that it was, and I smiled and answered them all.

Qing Wan was in front of the Hou Ye and the old lady, and her arrogance was obviously a lot more restrained, although she smiled at me a little stiffly, but it was always better than the high posture with her nostrils facing the sky.

She beckoned me to sit down, and I was naturally going to sit down at the lower head, but at the right hand side of the lower head happened to be the unpleasant white-faced man, and I felt a little embarrassed, and stood there and hesitated for a moment.

Mrs. Xu quietly pushed me, pressed me to sit down on the chair on the left hand, and said to Hou Ye with a smile: "Sister Qingwu is restrained when she first comes, so I will sit next to her." It's also good to serve soup with cloth vegetables, and take care of one or two. ”

Hou Ye smiled: "It's extreme, it's still thoughtful." ”

Mrs. Xu ordered someone to change the dishes and chairs, and quietly moved the chair a few inches to my side, and sat between me and the white-faced man.

Qingwan looked displeased, coughed lightly, and said, "I haven't had time to introduce my cousin to Qingwen yet." ”

As soon as the words fell, the white-faced man couldn't hold back, stood up, and said with a smile on his face:

"It turns out that this fairy-like character is Sister Qingwu, and it is really better to see it than to hear it.

I am the cousin of the Hou Ye's maternal uncle, and I am used to walking around in this Hou Ye's mansion, and they are all a family. So I knew that Sister Qingwu was coming, so I came to join in the fun and get to know each other, and it was really worth the trip. ”

I have heard that Hou Ye's biological aunt was born in a Xinglin family, and his father once entrusted favors to work in the palace for a few years, and got the name of a royal doctor, but the medical skills are really rare.

Later, he couldn't get along in the palace, so he opened two pharmacies under the sign of the imperial doctor when he left the palace, bullying and dominating the market, making huge profits and fraudulently, and making a lot of money.

It seems that this so-called cousin is Hou Ye's maternal uncle's cousin, who is the heir of the imperial doctor who sells his reputation.

Originally, I hated the disease for people who were so mercenary as fake drugs harming people, and I was a little disgusted with them. Now I see that his words are too earnest, which makes people feel frivolous in his speech, and he suddenly feels disgusted.

But if I don't stretch out my hand and don't hit the smiling person, I don't want to be cold-faced, so I can't get off the stage, so I have to respond curtly: "My cousin is exaggerating." ”

Then he turned his head away, pretending to talk to Qingqing, and didn't pay attention to it anymore.

Qingwan interjected with a smile: "They are all relatives who are close to each other, and they don't see each other when they look up, so there is nothing to avoid." It's good to get to know him, his surname is Yan, his word is Chunhua, and he still has some fate with his sister. ”

Hou Ye stood up, raised his voice to summon someone to serve the food, interrupted Qing Wan's words, and glared at her fiercely while I lowered my head, as if he was warning something. When I raised my eyes, I saw it all.

Qingwan ignored it, and continued to say enthusiastically: "Uncle Hou's family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and my grandfather is a master of Xinglin, who once served as an imperial doctor in the palace, specializing in serving several mothers.

I heard that my sister has been studying medicine with her master since she was a child in Yunwu Mountain, and she must have studied medical skills a lot.

The cousin of the Yan family has been a true grandfather since he was a child, and he is talented, and he is even better than the blue, and you can learn from each other another day, and you will definitely benefit a lot. ”

Then Yan Chunhua took advantage of the situation to lean over and ask me: "I don't know how old my sister is, how many years has she been studying art?" What are some of the conditions you are more interested in? ”

The first time they met, they asked the woman's age so abruptly, and sure enough, they didn't know the etiquette.

I didn't want to deal with it, and I was afraid that Hou Ye would not be able to get out of power, so I avoided the important and said lightly: "I have been playful since I was a child, and I haven't learned any real kung fu, at most I just prescribe a prescription for headache and brain fever." ”

When Yan Chunhua heard this, he immediately teased: "I have carried all the hopes of my family for me since I was a child, my grandfather was very strict in discipline, since the age of three I began to read the "Materia Medica" and memorized the "Medicine Sutra" at the age of six, and I can see a doctor with my father at the age of ten. ”

This cowhide was exaggerated, and I said lukewarmly: "In this way, my cousin must have a very high prestige in Beijing, I don't know what position he holds in the palace?" ”

Seeing that his face turned a little red, but after a while, he returned to normal, and continued to boast in Haikou:

"My grandfather has been a royal doctor all his life, and although he is glorious, he is too upright and honest to be overstretched, so he does not want me to inherit his mantle.

I opened three pharmacies in Beijing, and the name of 'Rejuvenation Hall' is that the day is advancing and doujin, which is the real glory of the ancestors. ”

"My affectionate cousin opened a pharmacy not to save the world, but to make a fortune." I no longer disdained to be false with him, and sarcastically said, "This deviates from our original intention and ethics as healers." ”

Yan Chunhua was choked by one sentence for a long time, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Qing Wanjiao laughed twice and said: "My cousin has superb medical skills, how many high-ranking officials and nobles line up to wait for him to come to see a doctor, and it is natural to charge some consultation fees."

Qingwu, since my cousin heard that you were coming, he recommended himself and said that he was willing to teach you some secrets about medical skills. This is something that is difficult for a wild doctor to reach out to in the countryside, so you should cherish it and not miss the opportunity. ”

Today, Qingwan introduced Yan Chunhua's attitude to me suspiciously, especially when she looked at me, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what An was thinking, I was afraid that it was ill-intentioned.

The old lady sitting on the throne became more and more embarrassed, her face sank like water, obviously a little angry, and she forcibly suppressed her anger, it seemed that she was quite tired of this concubine's Yan Gongzi.

She instructed Qingwan: "Are these cooks lazy again, why haven't they been serving food for a long time, you go to the kitchen to see." ”

Qingwan didn't buy it, straightened her chest and said confidently: "Mother-in-law forgot that I am pregnant now, the floor of the kitchen is wet and slippery, in case there is a mistake, how can I be worthy of Master Hou?"

Besides, now this Hou Mansion seems to be no longer a home, and the subordinates don't listen to my discipline, you see......"

The Chang'an Dynasty pays attention to filial piety, and the daughters-in-law of ordinary people do not dare to openly contradict their in-laws like this.

Yan Chunhua finally took his sticky gaze away from me, and said to the old lady: "How did the old lady forget, the last time you provoked my cousin-in-law's anger, you had a fetal gas, if I didn't happen to be in the house, my wonderful hand rejuvenated, and the little son in my cousin's womb would be dangerously tight." ”

The old lady was confronted by the two of them singing and talking in harmony, her face was a little pale, but she couldn't refute it, thinking that she should have some reason.

Mrs. Xu beside me saw that the old lady couldn't get off the stage, so she quickly stood up and said, "My sister is not in good health, so I will do these little things for me." ”

The old lady should have been annoyed with Qingwan's chatter and wanted to instruct her to leave, not because she was in a hurry to serve the food.

Hearing Mrs. Xu say this, she glanced at Qingwan fiercely, shook her head and said, "That's it, there are so many trivial things in the house every day, which is enough to make you hard." Just rest for a while. ”

This bias is obvious.

"Also, there are so many big and small things in this mansion, and not everyone can manage them.

If my sister feels powerless, don't force it. It's not a big deal if something goes wrong, anyway, my mother-in-law is biased, and I won't blame you.

If you are tired, Master Hou will complain that I am lazy and push everything on me. Qingwan took the opportunity to say in a weird manner.

"Humph!" The old lady snorted lightly: "Xu Xu is notoriously capable among the girls in my mother's family, as long as some people don't secretly make stumbling blocks and instigate their subordinates to deliberately find faults, these trivial things in the house, aren't they easy to come by?" ”

The two of you went back and forth, a war of words, Mrs. Xu suffered in vain, caught in the middle of a dilemma, and could only look at Hou Ye helplessly.

Hou Ye should have been accustomed to it for a long time, and when he glanced at me and Qingqing, he also felt that he had lost face, so he scolded Qingwan in a deep voice:

"Your maiden sister is here, and she is a good example as a sister. greedy for the speed of the tongue, contradicting the mother-in-law, what kind of system. ”

"Lord Hou also knows that my mother's family is in front of me, and he is so ruthless, I just want my sisters to go back to the Su family to say that my Su family is attached to the gold and silver to marry their daughters, I am lonely in this Hou Ye's mansion, and I have to endure what pickled anger every day." said that he was in tears, and he was extremely aggrieved.

Hou Ye really softened, and his tone was much better: "Today, I am giving your mother's sister to pick up the wind and wash the dust, what are you doing with all this gossip?" ”
