Chapter 828: Stepmother and Stepdaughter
Du Qingluan shook his head and said, "Since Chun Tao got better, I don't know what I'm busy with every day, where is the time to check my pulse?" Besides, I'm in good health and have a good appetite, so what should I do? β
Du Qingluan looked surprised, as if he really didn't have any problems!
When Duan Qingming heard this, she shook her head helplessly and said, "Mother, did you say that you couldn't eat, and you didn't let Aunt Chuntao come and see it?" β
This Du Qingluan really doesn't seem to know what happened to him. And according to Duan Qingming's guess, if Du Qingluan says this, there is only one result, that is, she is happy!
Du Qingluan glanced at Chun Tao, who was busy, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Qingming, you don't know, every time this Chun Tao helps me take my pulse, she doesn't say that I am better at all, either she prescribes a lot of medicine for me to drink, or, she simply says that I need to recuperate here, or I need to be cured there...... Tell me, where do I dare to let her help me check my pulse! β
Suddenly, Du Qingluan's pale face was covered with a layer of naughty color, the thin, faint flush, like the pure flush at the beginning of the morning, which made people look at it and be excited.
Duan Qingming already knew that her stepmother was actually still a child in her heart, afraid of cold and warmth, and avoided medical treatment.
Duan Qingming sighed slightly, she really didn't know what to say.
Du Qingluan continued: "So, I can't eat for a while now, and I don't dare to let Chun Tao help me see itβthat's why I'm looking for you, accompany me out of the house, and find a doctor to take a look!" β
Duan Qingming's spirit finally perked up. She smiled and said, "Okay, the weather is good today, I can just walk around with my mother!" β
The two of them were bowing their heads and talking, and Chun Tao came over. She looked at the breakfast on the table and frowned again: "Master." I prepared this breakfast according to your appetite and physical needs, so why don't you even use it? β
Du Qingluan shook his head and said confidently: "I'm going out with Qingming, don't worry, you can't be hungry for me!" β
Chun Tao glanced at Duan Qingming, and said helplessly: "Miss, it's good, you can also persuade the master, use this breakfast, this doesn't need to go out with breakfast, the stomach is empty, where can I have the strength to go?" β
Duan Qingming looked at Du Qingluan, who was insisting, and had a headache for a while, she thought about it, and said to Qiu Ning on the side: "Qiu Ning, you go to the kitchen, help your mother heat up this millet porridge, and by the way, take a few plums and let her send the porridge!" β
Qiu Ning listened, took a tray, picked up the untouched porridge, and walked out.
Seeing Duan Qingming talking about plums, Chun Tao said in surprise: "Qingming, who wants to eat plums?" β
Duan Qingming replied: "Mother, I have a bad appetite recently, probably because the weather in autumn is dry, and my appetite has been affected, so I asked Qiu Ning to take a few plums and let my mother send porridge!" β
Plum has the effect of appetizing and shengjin, and it is not a special food for anyone, Chun Tao listened, nodded, and continued to busy her!
Qiuning's movements were fast, and it didn't take long for him to return. In her hand, she was holding a plate of pickled plums.
Seeing the bowl of porridge, Du Qingluan instinctively frowned. Duan Qingming first put the plum in front of Du Qingluan and said, "Mother, don't worry, you eat a plum first." I'll help you with some porridge! β
Du Qingluan looked at the black plums, picked up one with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour sensation instantly filled her mouth, she chewed, spit out the core, and went to get another one, and said while squeezing it: "Well, this is delicious!" β
Duan Qingming put the porridge in front of Du Qingluan and said, "Mother, you eat this porridge quickly, we are going out!" β
Maybe with the plum at the bottom, the porridge is not so unpalatable. Du Qingluan drank a bowl of porridge obediently, and then went to get plums to eat!
Du Qingluan saw that it was not early, so he said to Du Qingluan: "Mother, I'll let someone wrap this plum for you, we can eat it on the road, now, let's go out of the house first, and come back at lunchtime, so you can eat with your father!" β
Du Qingluan listened, nodded, really asked people to wrap up all the plums and keep them for her to eat on the way!
Seeing this situation, Duan Qingming was even more sure of Du Qingluan's body, she couldn't help but pay attention, and helped Du Qingluan to walk towards the Hanging Flower Gate!
Chun Tao didn't keep up because she was busy, and Du Qingming certainly didn't want Chun Tao to know about her visit to the imperial doctor. So, I didn't ask anything.
Duan Qingming and Du Qingluan left the house and went straight to the largest hospital in the capital. It is said that there is the best doctor in the capital who can cure all diseases!
When Du Qingluan and Duan Qingming came to the medical hall, there were not many people, but it could be seen that they were all people with heads and faces in the capital. After all, the most famous doctor in the capital, the fee is naturally not low, and this place is really not something that ordinary people can enter.
Duan Qingming helped Du Qingluan and the two of them to find a corner position and sit down. I began to wait for the consultation of the doctor.
Sitting next to Duan Qingming and Du Qingluan was a noble lady who was about forty years old, I saw that she was brightly dressed, her hair was full of pearls, and the powder on her face was thickly painted.
Duan Qingming frowned slightly, moved closer to Du Qingluan, and whispered, "Mother, it'll be fine later!" β
Du Qingluan was so smoked by the fat powder on the noble lady's body that she was almost speechless, she had to nod reluctantly, looking very hard, but she was silent and did not speak.
I only heard the noble lady say: "My lord came back last night to discuss with me, saying that he will soon marry Shi Yingcai, the right secretary of the ministry, it seems that he will come to the door in the next few days!" β
The Ministry of Officials is a fat poor, although it is only a small right secretary, but as long as someone is promoted, the promotion is also very fast! However, who is that Shi Yingqiu? This name is very unfamiliar, and Duan Qingming has never heard of it.
People who haven't heard of it naturally won't care, Duan Qingming heard it for a while, and then turned his head!
Sitting next to the noble lady was a thin middle-aged concubine, looking at her dress identity, it seemed that she was a little worse than this fat noble lady. Moreover, she looked at the noble lady's eyes, which seemed to be a little frightened, and indescribably flattering.
After listening to the noble lady's words, the thin woman said, "Congratulations to Mrs. Yang, you have another young talent as a son-in-law!" β
Mrs. Yang, who was called a middle-aged noblewoman, said a little proudly: "You also know, this daughter of mine, although she is a concubine, but the daughter of the waiting door, a thousand nobles, naturally have to find a good home, right now, the eldest prince is in the limelight, if he can marry Shifu, it will be more beneficial for the future!" β
At this moment, Duan Qingming couldn't help but glance at the noble lady.
Waiting for a maid?
And Shi Yingcai?
Duan Qingming remembered, weren't the queen mothers and queens of the current dynasty all Shifu women? This Shi Yingcai must also be a person in the Shi Mansion!
Therefore, this Mrs. Yang promised her concubine to this Shi Yingcai?
It's just that what Duan Qingming doesn't understand is, which house is this Mrs. Yang?
In the capital, there are many lords and few candidates, and these candidates are all surnames. Yang Siqi's Weiyuan Houfu is one family.
plus the other three, a total of four candidates. But only the surname of Yang Mansion is Yang. Now, is this Mrs. Yang in front of her the lady of Weiyuan Houfu?
As he was talking, suddenly, a crisp voice sounded at the door: "Mother! β
That voice was extremely familiar, Duan Qingming looked up and saw that it was actually Yang Siqi here!
Looking at the fat Mrs. Yang again, she actually looked a little similar to Yang Siqi, Duan Qingming suddenly understood, it turned out that this Mrs. Yang was Yang Siqi's mother!
As soon as Mrs. Yang saw Yang Siqi, she happily shouted, "Qi'er, come here!" β
Yang Siqi answered, walked in with a smile on her face, and when she saw Duan Qingming sitting on the side, Yang Siqi was slightly stunned: "It's you?" β
When the fat Mrs. Yang saw Yang Siqi's expression, she couldn't help but glance at Duan Qingming and Du Qingluan, and said, "Daughter, do you know this young lady?" β
Now that he was recognized, Duan Qingming was embarrassed not to say hello. She stood up, nodded at Yang Siqi first, then turned her head and saluted Mrs. Yang: "Little girl Duan Qingming, I've seen Mrs. Weiyuanhou!" β
Mrs. Yang seemed to be very simple about the title of this "Wei Yuanhou" lady, she raised her head slightly, and said proudly: "Which lady are you from?" β
A young lady with the surname Duan? Mrs. Yang seems to be really very strange! Therefore, she looked at the pale and thin woman in front of her, but she was extraordinary, and was slightly stunned.
Du Qingluan, who was beside Duan Qingming, also stood up and saluted Mrs. Yang: "Mrs. Yang is well!" β
Mrs. Yang seemed to have an innate hostility towards beautiful women, she looked at Du Qingluan, who had a good face, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" β
Duan Qingming smiled and said to Mrs. Yang, "This is the mother below!" β
Yang Siqi saw that Mrs. Yang didn't know Duan Qingming, so she immediately stepped forward, took Mrs. Yang's hand, and said, "Mother, this is Duan Qingming, the daughter of Lord Duan Zhengduan!" β
Mrs. Yang let out a faint "oh". Then, she suddenly remembered something and said, "You are the eldest lady of the Duan Mansion who bloomed the lotus flower on her birthday?" β
Duan Qingming felt a little headache for a while, she said with a wry smile: "That's just some rumors in the market, Qingming doesn't have this ability!" β
Mrs. Yang snorted coldly, looked at Du Qingluan, and said, "This is your stepmother?" β
It is rumored that Duan Zheng's stepfamily used to be a bandit, and Duan Zheng was laughed at a lot because he married this wife.
