Aunt Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard Master Hou say that she had sent something to the courtyard where she and Lin'er lived. The gray squirrel skin is not enough, but the silver frost charcoal is rare. In the entire backyard of the Hou Mansion, only Mrs. Tai and Mrs. have regulations. Hurriedly turned around and said, "Thank you, Master Hou, for remembering." Lin'er has been choking on the charcoal gas and coughing at night for a while, and she can't sleep well. With Silver Frost Charcoal, she can finally get a good night's sleep. - Master Hou is busy, so remember to take care of yourself. Lin'er often talks about her father. ”

Aunt Qi's maiden name is a Xuan character. Although she is now the concubine of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, she used to be the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Dingnan, and she was raised by Mrs. Dingnanhou in the palm of her hand, and she was also raised as the head mother of the family. and Chu Huajin have known each other since childhood, and they are childhood sweethearts.

Chu Huajin felt very guilty when he thought that the two of them were originally married, but later because of his family's affairs, he forcibly withdrew from her, delaying her life.

And after retiring from her family, this Qi Xuan actually refused to marry Chu Hua, and pushed away one family affair after another set for her by the family. It wasn't until Qi Xuan was twenty-two years old that their family gave up and asked someone to come over to talk to the Marquis of Ningyuan. Chu Huajin carried her into the house and became a concubine.

Thin life is willing to be a concubine.

It's just that Chu Hua admits that he is not a person who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, so even if he lifts Qi Xuan, he will never bypass Pei Shufan. For Aunt Qi Xuan Qi, Chu Huajin can only be slightly better than other concubines in terms of food and clothing, as compensation.

Chu Hua saw Qi Shi turn around, his face was fair, his complexion was Qinghua, his manners were polite, and he was generous. In the average wealthy family, even the main mother who presides over the feed may not have such a demeanor. - It's a pity that the main mother she met was Pei Shufan. Only when this eldest daughter of the first assistant of the three dynasties stands up, can the momentum overwhelm Qi Xuan. Chu Huajin sighed deeply in his heart: Pei Shufan is naturally a good person, but his temperament is too hard. Sometimes, even herself, the marquis, can't resist her......

Thinking of Pei Shufan's illness, Chu Huajin's brows furrowed again. Pei Shufan is his original wife, and the two have been together for so many years, and there is also a relationship between husband and wife. He naturally couldn't bear to see Pei Shufan die at a young age.

Aunt Qi saw that Hou Ye's brows furrowed again, knowing that he must have thought of his wife's illness, and hurriedly comforted: "Madame Ji people have their own natural appearance, Hou Ye doesn't have to worry too much." - If Master Hou hurts his body because of this, let me ...... We...... Which one to go by? There were faint tears in the corners of his eyes.

Aunt Qi hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief.

Chu Huajin didn't seem to hear her words, so he was silent and walked with her all the way.

Aunt Qi was so worried that she didn't dare to speak again. Seeing that Chu Huajin had already followed her to the door of the courtyard where she lived, Aunt Qi hurriedly stopped him with a smile and said, "Master Hou, I'm here." - The doctor is coming in, too. ”

Chu Hua came back to his senses, sighed, and said, "Shu Fan is just too heavy-minded. If only she could be like you, she would like to open up everything. This disease will not be worse every day. ”

Aunt Qi was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Mother Ning beside her lady coming over in a hurry, so she changed the topic and said to Chu Huajin: "Mother Ning is here." I think Madame has something to say. - Master Hou should go back, Madame's place matters. ”

Chu Hua took off the mink fur on his body, put it on her body with his own hands, and said, "It's cold, remember to wear more clothes." We already have a sick person in our house, so we can't add another one. ”

"Master Hou rest assured, the concubine will take care of herself and Lin'er." As Aunt Qi spoke, she nodded to Mother Ning, and said hello before entering her yard.

Chu Huajin glanced at Ning's mother and said, "Let's talk about it when I go back." ”

Mother Ning hurriedly trotted behind Chu Huajin to keep up, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, the doctor came here just now and prescribed a prescription." The medicine on it is a few percent heavier. ”

Chu Hua's heart tightened, he stopped, and looked at the sky in the distance in the courtyard. It was getting more and more gloomy and cloudy, and it seemed that a heavy snowfall was inevitable.

"What kind of medicine did the doctor prescribe?" Chu Huajin asked as he hurriedly walked towards the courtyard of the main house.

"The left is nothing more than ginseng, cinnamon, ejiao and snow lotus. It's just that the year is deeper, and what is generally sold in the world is no longer enough. Mother Ning bowed down and trotted behind and kept up with Hou Ye's pace.

Chu Huajin felt even more uncomfortable: although these things are expensive and rare, they are not medicine at all...... Could it be that Shu Fan's illness is already hanging by these things?

When I got to the inner room of the main house, I was greeted by Tongfang Tongye. Seeing Chu Huajin, he hurriedly saluted him and said, "Master Hou is here." He got up again to help Chu Hua with a wide coat, but saw that he was only wearing a three-color robe with a cloud pattern at the bottom of the piping, a rhinoceros leather belt around his waist, and a white jade buckle around his waist, which made him more and more swordsman's eyebrows and starry eyes, bee mantis-shaped, broad shoulders and thin waist, and tall figure.

"It's cold today, and Hou Ye didn't wear a big hat when he went out?" Tong Ye had previously led his wife's three sisters-in-law to the side hall to use steamed cheese, and he didn't see what Chu Hua was wearing when he returned home. Asking from this side, Tong Ye helped Chu Huajin take off the sable fur hat on his head.

Chu Huajin's mink fur was naturally draped back for Aunt Qi. He was a little afraid that Pei Shufan would be unhappy when he found out, which would add to her illness, so Chu Huajin said with a straight face: "Tongye, you have transgressed." "——What does the master wear and what does he use, his own wife is in charge, what does it matter to you, a slave?

Tong Ye heard the meaning of Hou Ye's words, his face was a little red, he was busy talking, hung up his hat, and went in to reply to his wife.

Chu Huajin took two deep breaths outside before striding into Pei Shufan's inner room.

The inner room was as warm as spring, Pei Shufan sat on the rosewood lacquered bed with his back against the apricot-colored pillow.

Under the large sun-facing windowsill in the south, there were three young girls sitting in a row of four large mahogany chairs, all dressed in the same way.

On the opposite side of the paint bed, on the ground in the middle of the inner room, another Tongfang Tongxue knelt there with his head bowed deeply.

Chu Huajin glanced around, didn't see his mother-in-law, and had some doubts in his heart.

"Master Hou is here." Pei Shufan got up slightly and greeted.

As soon as Pei Shufan spoke, the three concubines of the Pei family all stood up and saluted Chu Hua, "Brother-in-law." ”

Chu Huajin only bowed his head slightly to the three sisters-in-law, stepped forward quickly, and gently pressed Pei Shufan's shoulder: "Shufan lie down." - Don't be in a hurry to get up. He sat on the edge of her bed.

Pei Shufan vomited blood just now, and it looks like he has washed again. The fat powder on his face has been washed away, revealing a yellow face, which has lost a lot of his usual majesty, but is more pitiful and cute than before.

Seeing Pei Shufan's appearance, Chu Huajin felt more and more blocked in his heart, clenched his hands into fists, and said in a low voice: "If you are not feeling well, just take care of yourself, don't worry about it anymore." ”

Pei Shufan had never seen Chu Huajin say such soft words to her, and he couldn't help but glance at him in surprise. Seeing the undisguised worry in his eyes, Pei Shufan felt a little better, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Master Hou, where do you have to worry about such a trivial matter?" The attitude was natural and tactful, as if Chu Hua's anger before had never happened at all.

The two of them were talking, and Pei Shufan's other companion Zhao family came in and replied: "Back to Mrs. and Hou Ye, the four aunts are here." Wait outside. ”

Chu Huajin pursed his lips and said, "In the cold winter, what do you do to let them run around." - Can't you wait? Thinking that he had just sent a message to let the four aunts go back to rest, Pei Shufan refuted his words?

Pei Shufan saw that Chu Hua was displeased, and his face was cold, and he said, "What are you talking about?" - They can afford to wait, but the concubines can't afford to wait! ”
