Xue Su was not happy to wear that kind of heavy clothes on his body, he always felt inconvenient to move, and he was depressed and panicked, but fortunately, he burned the earth dragon in the bedroom, and the warmth was comparable to early summer, even if he was only wearing a gauze coat, he still didn't feel half a bit cold.

Qiu Ju walked in with the food box in her hand, she took the things, waved her hand, and after the maid left, she put the mahogany food box on the table and sent the blue and white porcelain cup to Chu Qinghe.

"You've been tired for so long, you have to take care of your body, if you don't pay attention, you'll suffer in a few decades." The woman muttered on her lips, holding a porcelain spoon and constantly stirring the mellow soup, her fingertips were as delicate as the buds of the branches, and the contrast was very obvious with the pale cyan porcelain spoon.

Yu Shen stared at the snow-white Hao wrist, and saw Su Niang scoop a spoonful of soup to her mouth, and her red lips were covered with a faint layer of water, which added a bit of charm.

"Tomorrow, when the Hou Ye sees the Wu military division, he forgot to knock on the side, Liansheng is his daughter's family in the end, if he takes the initiative to speak, it will inevitably make people look down on him......"

Chu Qinghe seemed to remember something, and asked, "I heard that Xue Cheng went to the infirmary as an apprentice?" ”

Although the army had just entered Beijing, the guards who could stay in the Fuguo Marquis' Mansion were all Chu Qinghe's henchmen, so as soon as he arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, he also had a general understanding of the situation in the city.

Thinking of Xue Cheng's stupid and dull appearance, Xue Su only felt extremely irritable. Knowing that a person like him admits death, even if everyone sees the true face of Xurong, he still will not change his mind, and he really responded to the sentence "If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die, and if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry".

"He regards the Lady as a lifesaver, and even if I wear out my mouth, it will be of no use." She put down the porcelain bowl and gently wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

Chu Qinghe took her hand, rubbed the back of his hand with his fingertips, and suggested in a dumb voice, "It's better to drive Xurong out of the capital, so that no matter how confused Xue Cheng is, he won't be able to make any big waves." ”

The woman shook her head slowly, her bright eyes couldn't help but be a little dim, she knew very well in her heart that although Xurong had no grade, just a white body, her medical skills were not bad, and she had been valued by many dignitaries.

Chu Qinghe's great military exploits are true, but he has long been jealous of the emperor, one wrong step, one wrong step, in order to become the target of everyone, it is really not worth it.

"There is no need to be like this, everyone has their own fate, Xue Cheng wants to be a small apprentice in the medical hall, and I won't stop him, as long as he doesn't come to the Hou Mansion to bother me in the future."

Xue Cheng is Su Niang's half-brother, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so cold, but Chu Qinghe secretly rejoices, he doesn't want his little wife to put her mind on others, if he can only look at him and think only of him, then it would be better.

Princess Jinyue was demoted to a commoner, which was not a good thing for Xurong and the entire Suxintang.

In the past, in order to show how kind she was, Xurong didn't collect much money for the patients who came to Suxintang for treatment, and when she met someone from a poor family, she didn't even take a penny, after all, Jinyue sent someone to send two silver taels every three or five days, and it was more than enough to feed the people of the entire medical hall, and she didn't have to worry about these vulgar things.

But now that the biggest backer has fallen, Xu Rong has become stretched thin in an instant, after all, in order to fight with Yan Ruyu opposite, the fat cream decoction sold is not bad, even if the price is low, the cost is very high.

If you continue to toss day after day, Suxintang will soon fall into the dilemma of closing the store.

At this moment, the eldest apprentice held the account in his hand, walked up to Xurong, and said respectfully, "Master, a few days ago, you ordered a few carts of plum blossoms, and the money has not yet been settled, should we press the account first, or pay it together?" ”

The delicate eyebrows were slightly folded, the woman only felt extremely bored, she had practiced medicine for so many years, because of her medical skills, no matter where she went, there were many people holding and respecting, how could she ever encounter this situation? Jinyue is really useless, she can't even defeat a village woman, and even compensated herself, how can there be such a princess in this world?

"You can discuss it with the stall owner, and then send him the money in a few days." As she spoke, she felt extremely ashamed, her well-trimmed nails scratching at the corners of the table, and the back of her hands burst with green tendons.

The eldest apprentice glanced at her in surprise, guessed a few points about the situation in the medical hall, and quickly retreated.

Xue Cheng carried the almond milk to the house, just passing by the eldest apprentice, neither of them looked down on anyone, glared at each other, and did not say hello.

Seeing his beloved woman's sad face, the young man scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, eager to solve her problems immediately and make that delicate face smile again.

"Doctor, what bothers you, why don't you talk to me?"

Looking at the young man's clear eyes, Xu Rong was slightly stunned, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

The reason why she wants to compete with Yan Ruyu is completely for the peach wood bead, as long as she can get the treasure in her hand, there is no need to entangle with the Xue family anymore.

"Xue Cheng, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." The snow-white Bei Tooth bit his red lip lightly, and his face was full of struggle, as if he had encountered something difficult.

Xue Cheng's face was full of excitement, and he said hurriedly, "The medical girl has something to say, as long as I can do it, there is no other word!" ”

"Back then, Xue Su's mother stole two things from my house, one is the secret recipe for making fat cream decoction, and the other is a peach wood bead, can you help me find the peach wood bead, if I can get the family heirloom back, I will be grateful!" As she spoke, she took Xue Cheng's hand, tears rolling in her eyes, and that look was really pitiful.

Xue Cheng was short of breath, nodded hurriedly, and promised, "Don't worry, I will go back to the Hou Mansion and I will definitely bring the peach wood beads back." ”

After speaking, he ran out without looking back, looking at his back, he pursed his lips and smiled, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

Chu Qinghe finally came back from the border pass, Xue Su was very happy in her heart, and personally cooked and prepared the meals, just as she was busy in the kitchen, Qiu Ju trotted to the front, and said urgently, "Master, Young Master Xue Cheng was stopped outside by the guards guarding the door, and he was not allowed to come in no matter what." ”

With a little surprise in his eyes, Xue Su asked, "Did the Hou Ye order it?" ”

"Exactly, Master Hou was afraid that you would be upset, so he issued a death order to let people stop the young master, whoever dares to let him in, he will never have to stay in the Hou Mansion again." Qiu Ju said with a smile on her face.

There are some things that Xue Su is not easy to do, after all, she still has a reputation, even if there is no friendship between sisters and brothers, it is not easy to do too much. But at this moment, Chu Qinghe personally taught him a lesson, even if Father Xue was dissatisfied, he couldn't make any trouble.

Let the mother-in-law look at the chicken soup, Xue Su sat by the window, this place is a little farther away from the stove, and it is much cooler.

Qiu Ju followed her wife and asked, "Aren't you going to take a look at the door?" It seems that Hou Ye also went. ”

Although she felt unappetizing when she saw Xue Cheng, she had to persuade Chu Qinghe on the side, otherwise that person would have no sense of proportion, and beat him half to death, and he would be guilty in the future.

After wiping his hands with a silk handkerchief, Xue Su put his apron aside and walked straight out.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw an emaciated figure kneeling on the stone steps, it was not yet the New Year, the ground was full of snow and broken ice, if you stayed for a long time, the chill was like ants, and it could get into the bones of people, and the taste was really not good.

Chu Qinghe held a horsewhip in his hand and shook it on the ground, and in an instant, the snow flakes were scattered and the hoarfrost was scattered.

Afraid that the barbed horsewhip would be whipped on him, Xue Cheng's eyes were full of horror, he covered his face and kept retreating, shouting in his mouth, "Chu Qinghe, even if you are the Marquis of Fuguo, you can't be so careless about people's lives!" Do you still have a royal law in your eyes? ”

There is a thick evil aura in the eyes of the black eagle, as long as he thinks of the bastard things this kid has done, the man can't wait to skin him and tear him apart, so that he can learn a lesson, and save him from being so stupid and becoming a pawn in the hands of others.

"Ignoring human life? Young Master Xue has to talk about evidence, after you and your father-in-law came to the capital, food, clothing, housing and transportation all rely on the Hou Mansion, and it is the duty of people to support the elderly, and the Hou has no complaints, but you, a man with undamaged limbs and healthy health, also have to rely on the Hou Mansion, and this face is also thicker. ”

Pingtou people live in poverty, even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they still can't live a rich life, a teenager like Xue Cheng, if he doesn't study, he will help the family do work early, how can he be so confused?

Feeling the gaze of the pedestrians on him, Xue Cheng only felt that his face was hot, as if he had been slapped a few times, he gritted his teeth and gasped.

Suddenly, he saw Xue Su, and shouted with bright eyes, "Sister, I was not good before, you can persuade my brother-in-law to let me go back to the Hou Mansion." ”

The woman slowly walked to Chu Qinghe's side, held his strong arm, her delicate face was full of apologies, and she shook her head and said, "It's not that my sister won't help you, it's just that you made up your mind before that you had to stay in Suxin Hall as an apprentice, so why did you want to return to the Hou Mansion?" Could it be that Xu Rong was bewitched and had a heart of framing? ”

Su Xintang and Yan Ruyu are no longer in the ring, and the people of the capital are clear in their hearts, knowing that these two shops do not deal with each other, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and they cannot coexist at all.

In this case, the young master of the Hou Mansion of the Fuguo Kingdom went to Suxin Hall, isn't it equivalent to trampling Mrs. Hou's face under his feet? Such a stupid brother, it is better not to!

Xue Cheng didn't expect Xue Su to be so ruthless anyway, he was dumbfounded and didn't say anything for a long time.

Because he had been kneeling on the ground, his calves in contact with the snow were numb and painful from the cold, and the chill made him feel cold, and he couldn't wait to rush into the Hou Mansion immediately and drink a bowl of hot soup to warm his body.
