Chapter 42 The stepmother is invited (ask for collection, ask for monthly passes, ask for recommendations, ask for follow-up)

"What?" The little emperor looked at Natalie, and didn't know what to say for a while? This figure ...... Is it infertile? Is this possible?

Empress Dowager Zheng seemed to know her son's thoughts, so she asked in a calm voice: "Black Whirlwind, is there a diagnosis certificate from the female doctor in the palace?" ”

"Yes, yes." Black Whirlwind took out a stack of diagnosis books from his sleeve pocket, and held them in front of Empress Dowager Zheng with both hands.

Empress Dowager Zheng took the diagnosis book, looked at it carefully one by one, and only after reading it did she sigh and say, "The twelve female doctors in the palace all agree that Natalie is not suitable for childbirth...... I can't go wrong. ”

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Zheng also lowered her face and said to Zhuge Weidao: "Major Zhuge , you are not careful about this errand!" Thousands of miles away from bringing back a barren Rakshasa Grand Duchess......"

Zhuge Weidao also looked guilty, bowed down and said: "Queen Mother, the minister knows that he is wrong." ”

The Queen Mother sighed again and said, "I can't blame you for this, how do you know what kind of woman can't give birth?" This Archduchess Natalie looks so plump, and she doesn't look like she can't give birth...... In this way, according to the custom, give the money back! She looked at Natalie apologetically, "Archduchess, I'm really sorry to let you run this trip in vain." ”

Natalie listened to the conversation between Black Whirlwind and Empress Dowager Zheng and was a little confused - this is too good at nonsense, obviously she doesn't abide by women's morals, why can't she have children? The twelve female doctors in the palace unanimously agreed...... She's never seen so many female doctors at all!

However, she still reacted quickly, and immediately made a look of regret, and was very reluctant to glance at the little emperor with beautiful eyebrows, and then sighed faintly: "Queen Mother, the concubine is not blessed by herself, and she can't complain about others, but the Rakshasa is far away, and it is not easy to come and go." The concubine came after a long journey, and she was quite tired, and she was afraid that it would be unbearable to return to the west immediately, so she only asked the queen mother to allow the concubine to recuperate in Beijing for a while before leaving for China. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, the mourning family sees that your face is pale, you must be tired on the road, so it's better to take care of yourself in Beijing...... Major Zhuge ! ”

"The minister is here." Zhuge hurriedly responded.

The Queen Mother said: "The Archduchess Natalie was brought by you, so you are responsible for taking care of her!" ”

"Yes." Zhuge Weidao agreed, and glanced at the Empress Dowager Zheng gratefully.

"That's right, this queen mother is her own person!" Zhuge thought to himself: "Although her ideas may be a bit much, her strength and ambition are also a little mismatched. But if you really treat me well, you can be honest with me...... Not bad, worth intersecting! ”

Empress Dowager Zheng said again at this time: "Black Whirlwind, take a few people to send Major Zhuge back to the house with Natalie and Nalandili...... Remember to give another hundred catties of gold for Major Zhuge to bring back together. ”

A hundred pounds of gold?

Zhuge Weidao took a breath when he heard this amount, and gave the gold and actually gave it like this?

One catty is sixteen taels, and one hundred catties is one thousand six hundred taels...... According to Zhuge Weidao, these two gold are worth twenty-two silver yuan (one silver yuan contains less than seven silver yuan), and 1,600 taels of gold is more than 35,000 silver yuan!

Zhuge Weidao's monthly salary is only 250 silver yuan, and his salary is only 3,750 silver yuan a year...... After the tax is paid, it is about 3,500 silver yuan.

Empress Dowager Zheng once gave a salary equivalent to Zhuge for the Tao (giving Natalie is equivalent to giving Zhuge for the Tao) for ten years! This is not their own person, who is still their own person?

"Empress Dowager Xie!" Natalie also showed a grateful expression, and thanked him with gratitude.

Although she, the female archduchess, has seen a lot of money, and the manors and serfs she owns in the Rakshasa country are also worth a lot of money, but the gift from the Empress Dowager Zheng still makes her grateful in her heart.

After all, she did something that couldn't live with the Empress Dowager Zheng and the little emperor, people didn't care, and gave so much money, what a good person!

Thinking of this, she made another blessing to the little emperor, and then followed Zhuge Weidao to leave.

And the little emperor Zhu Xijin's mouth was pursed, not for Natalie, but for Nalandili, who walked with Natalie - the little emperor's first love didn't start, and it was going to end like this!

......

When the little emperor Zhu Xijin was worried about Nalandili, a fairy who was fascinated by death, Zhuge Weidao was also worried about Nalandili...... He wasn't bothered by not getting Nalandili, but by the ambiguous relationship between Nalandili and Natalie.

When Zhuge Weidao led Natalie and Nalandili out of Xi'an Gate and walked on the "bizarre" and prosperous streets of Beijing, the two women walked together naturally, holding hands, talking and laughing, not to mention how happy.

"Sister Natalie, Beijing is so prosperous and lively!"

"Well, it's livelier than Petersburg...... That's a lot of people! ”

"Of course, Daming's population is the largest in the world, even more than the whole of Europe!"

"Wow, that's amazing......"

"There are so many theaters here...... The name of this opera garden is so strange, how can it be called a movie theater? ”

"The movie theater is not an ordinary theater garden, the movie is fun!"

"What's fun?"

"Cinema is all about making a lot of lifelike black and white images on a large white cloth, or it can also be called a moving photo......"

"Really? Isn't this a trick? Sister, I want to watch a movie. ”

"Okay, let's see it together when we're settled."

When the two good sisters followed the black eunuch who led the way into Goolan Hutong, the two of them were attracted by a movie theater that had just opened, and they planned to go to see it together - without Zhuge as a Tao!

Zhuge Weidao just reluctantly followed the black eunuch Black Whirlwind behind the two good sisters, although helpless, but he still had to have a smile on his face - of course he knew that the relationship between Natalie and Nalandili was not quite right, but in the eyes of others, this is "the blessing of Qi people", one big and one small, sisterhood, and they are all stunning orchids, what a good thing!

I don't know how long I walked like this, and the group had already walked to the depths of Goolan Hutong. There are no theaters, cinemas and teahouses in this area, and there are large and small courtyard houses on both sides of the street, which look very delicate and tidy. Considering this location, those who can live in these courtyards are either rich or expensive!

Zhuge Weidao's house is among these courtyards, and it seems to be the most decent and spacious one among them! Looking at his mansion, then at the two beauties Natalie and Nalandili, and then thinking of the Queen Mother who spent the Spring Festival with him last night, Zhuge Weidao was immediately full of expectations for his new life.

He was looking forward to it here, when he saw Yu De, Guo Xiaobao, and He Tianran coming out of the door of the mansion side by side, followed by a beautiful little maid Ah Li.

Yu De, Guo Xiaobao, and He Tianran don't have a house in the inner city of Beijing - Jingshi Residence, it's not easy! So they led their wives and children to live in the big mansion where Zhuge was the way. When Zhuge Weidao went home yesterday, Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran were not there. The former said that he was called to the Wuxiang Marquis Mansion by Zhuge Weidao's stepmother, and the latter went to the office located in Chaoyangmenwai Business District in the east of Beijing to sort out the accounts and prepare to report to the amnesiac Zhuge Weidao.

The three of them saluted Zhuge Weidao, Natalie and the big eunuch Black Whirlwind together, Zhuge Weidao smiled and introduced He Tianran and Yu De to Natalie and Nalandili, and then invited Black Whirlwind and his black eunuchs into the house very enthusiastically, let He Tianran entertain him first, and he ordered Yu De and Ah Li to help settle Natalie and Nalandili and Natalie's maid Sasha - Zhuge Weidao's house is quite large, although there are many people, but there are still a few empty small courtyards, Zhuge asked Yu De to pick the best place to settle the three women.

After arranging the three women, Zhuge wanted to accompany those black eunuchs to drink tea and wine, but Guo Xiaobao came up to him and said, "Brother Daozi, my aunt invites you to go to the Hou Mansion tonight." ”

"Your aunt? My stepmother? Zhuge Weidao didn't have any impression of this stepmother, but he still felt that this stepmother was always bad, so he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Guo Xiaobao saw Zhuge Weidao's attitude, and muttered in his heart, this Zhuge Weidao has a good relationship with his aunt! Don't you remember at all?

Thinking of this, Guo Xiaobao could only smile bitterly and said, "Daozi, my aunt heard that you were injured and was very worried, so she wanted to see you." Plus, she knows about you and Natalie...... It's a little different from what it said! ”
