After returning to the post station, Ruan Miaoling first went to Princess Baozhen's room to ask about the number of times Runxiang changed her dressing.

It just so happened that Princess Baozhen and Qin Jie had something to say, if it was on weekdays, she would have entangled for a while to stay and listen, but today she didn't have the same thoughts, and dragged her lead-filled legs back to the room and fell asleep.

At dinnertime, Wen'er came into the room to invite, and when he saw Ruan Miaoling crying, he hurriedly comforted him and said that he was going to tell his wife.

"Come back!" Ruan Miaoling sat up with the quilt in her arms, and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed, "I met Qiao's mother on the street today, don't tell my mother, if you say something wrong, I won't pay attention to you anymore!" ”

I don't know what Ruan Miaoling and Qiao's mother said in the house, since Ruan Miaoling told her with a tiger face, she only nodded obediently and swore never to say it.

After resting at the post station for two days, Ruan Miaoling saw that Princess Baozhen's complexion had improved, and proposed to set off, suppressing what she knew in Suiyan in her heart and not saying anything all the way.

……

"Xu Yuan, it's worth it for a while, let's have a drink?" Chen Mian went out, and Li Bozhang followed him out.

The two saw Xu Yuan sitting in the courtyard looking at the sky, and deliberately raised their voices to scare him.

Xu Yuan turned around and smiled and said goodbye to the kindness of the two: "After the next duty, I will go to the ready-to-wear shop and the study for a walk, pick up a few new silks shipped from Suzhou and Hangzhou in the past few years, and then buy a few valuable scholar's offerings, after a long time, you can't wait." ”

"Whoever has invited you to a banquet can't be satisfied, prepare these."

Li Bozhang sat down on Xu Yuan's left side, and Chen Mian took the opportunity to sit down under Li Bozhang, and echoed with a smile: "That's it, since you were invited, why didn't you invite me and Bozhang to go?" ”

Xu Yuan only said that he was a regular customer, and changed the topic and said: "Recently, Lord Li and Lord Shoufu are busier than in the past, the emperor has often summoned them at the wrong time recently, and it is when you are on duty, it is rare for the emperor to go to Xiangshan today, you might as well play chess and eat wine at home." ”

Chen Mian tilted his head and held it with one palm, "Alas, my father needs me to accompany him." He is an idler on weekdays, and since my aunt moved in with the cousin of the Cao family, he has been happy and red every day, but he has left my own son aside. ”

Xu Yuan saw that Li Bozhang seemed to have something on his mind, and asked: "Brother Bozhang, Lord Li has been busy with official business recently, you can help take care of one or two, if Lord Li doesn't like it, it's good to put forward a few opinions from the side." ”

Li Bozhang shook his head, "I'm not worried about my father, he didn't need my help when he was busier and more tired in the past...... Xu Yuan, the miracle doctor you introduced to my mother before, Dongfang Liang, he"

Chen Mian stepped forward and asked curiously, "What's wrong with Dongfang Liang?" He also gave me a prescription to regulate my spirit, don't tell me, he's a Selu doctor! ”

"Not really." Li Bozhang sat down with Chen Mian and stared at Xu Yuan with frowns, "Dongfang Liang has recently developed a lot of creams for beauty and beauty, and my mother has become more and more radiant after rubbing it. ”

Xu Yuan said with a smile: "Isn't that right, Mrs. Li is already beautiful, and the secret recipe of the miracle doctor is probably not much different from the daughter's family in the boudoir, what are you worried about." ”

Chen Mian interjected: "If this ointment is really good, you can ask for a box for me in front of your mother tomorrow, and I will take it to rub it for my aunt and cousin." My uncle has recently made a lot of money and silver in business, and when the time comes, it will work wonders, and my uncle will be happy when he sees his aunt's radiant face, and he will give you two pieces of silver! ”

Li Bozhang sneered: "I'm afraid that your uncle's silver taels are not enough for Dongfang Liang to eat a meal and stuff his teeth." ”

"How?" Xu Yuan and Chen Mian asked in unison.

"Dongfang Liang is like a sow that can give birth, and she can develop a box of cream every day, and the price of a box is more than a box. My mother was coaxed by Dongfang Liang to be happy, and the silver in the dowry went out like water, and the silver was her dowry, and I was not good at interfering as a son...... But recently, the wives of the Hou Mansion officials heard about this, and they all came to the door to beg, and Dongfang Liang's purse was afraid that it would not be able to fit it. ”

Li Bozhang was so angry that he couldn't help but slap the stone table a few times.

A miracle doctor is also a doctor, and he can't be greedy and disregard morality just because he has the word "god" on his name, what is the difference between this and those who cheat and eat and drink!

"At first, when he came to the mansion, he could cure the root of the flowers and plants, and he could also cure the old diseases of the servants, and I was respectful when I saw him."

Li Bozhang clenched his fists and said: "I didn't expect him to become even worse later, my father doted on my mother, and when I saw that my mother liked it, even if I couldn't see it, I couldn't help him." ”

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Chen Mian hurriedly diverted his words and said: "Don't mention this troublesome matter, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Let's talk about state affairs, in the past, when we were in the Dengke Publishing House, we were not officials, so we can't say it. When I became an official, I was busy with everything, so I didn't have time to talk about it. I heard that yesterday's Erlian Fang was burned to ashes by the heavenly fire, and there were few escapes, and the emperor was angry at this time, so he went to Xiangshan. ”

Xu Yuandao: "Everyone said that it was a heavenly fire, and I asked Jin Ting to run and take a look, saying that the backyard toilet burned the most." ”

"There was a wind last night, and several rooms in the Snake Fang were already close, but when they walked on the water, they were blown by the wind, and they were all licked up before anyone noticed." Li Bozhang drew a topographical map of the Snake Workshop on the table and analyzed.

Chen Mian sighed: "Right now, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are already thoroughly investigating, and I don't think I can find out who did it." ”

"I think it's also, the Snake Fang is unknown in Jinyiwei, Su Ri has no grievances with people, and the enemy who can burn the Snake Fang to ashes can't find any clues."

Xu Yuan said that, Li Bozhang and Chen Mian were about to talk about the discussion they had heard from elsewhere again, when a small official quickly walked in and said that Xu Yuan's little maid Jin Pavilion was waiting outside.

"It's time." Xu Yuan got up and said goodbye, "I'll be on duty first, you guys go to the bar by yourself!" ”

Waiting for Xu Yuanfeng to leave, Chen Mian called the little official and asked, "You have a close relationship with Xu Xiu's little servant, have you ever heard that Xu Xiuxiu is going to do what he is going to do after he is on duty today?" ”

The little official smiled and said in a low voice: "Jin Tingyuan didn't want to say anything, he only said that Xu Xiushu was going to go to the garment shop to buy silk and satin, and the villain sold some favors before he got the news." ”

Li Bozhang urged: "Don't talk nonsense, pick up what matters." ”

"Xu Xiu's Italian person just entered Beijing today, and the two have not seen each other for more than half a year, I heard that Xu Xiuxiu bought a mansion for his Italian person earlier, and the silk and satin study room that he is going to buy today is to be sent to the new house."

When Chen Mian heard this, he couldn't help but feel sour in his teeth, and rubbed his chin.

"Come on, we're looking for acetic acid on our own."

Li Bozhang also got up and ordered the little official to go down, and the two went back to the duty room side by side to collect the books, and went out to eat and drink together.

"What the book says is true, there are lovers, only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals" Chen Mian got into the sedan chair, then took the folding fan that was not commonly used in the Hanlin Academy, and entered the restaurant with Li Bozhang.

"Hey, this storyteller, Mr. Shan, is no longer doing business in the teahouse today?"
