Chapter 17: A Chance Encounter on the Street

"You're ......!"

Mrs. Shangshu was directly choked by a sentence from the head of the Divine Medical Pavilion, and when she saw Mrs. Shangshu's timidity, the accident of the head of the Divine Medical Pavilion added fuel to the fire.

"I have long heard that the lady of Shangshu Mansion is remarried by Lord Shangshu, in the past, we flat-headed people didn't believe it, but now we know at first sight that there are really few stepmothers in this world who treat their children well!"

The head of the Divine Medicine Pavilion glanced at the sedan chair not far away, and excitedly approached the law.

"This eldest lady of Shangshufu has been poisoned, and she is about to die when she sees people, but Mrs. Shangshu is here to deal with my small merchants and peddlers for a mere 10,000 taels!"

"The eldest lady of the dignified Shangshu Mansion is so unexpectedly not taken seriously! If the daughter of an ordinary family has a good one, the family will definitely smash the pot and sell iron to heal the daughter, but now that they have arrived at a rich family like Shangshufu, they are ready not to save people directly! ”

"This Shangshu Mansion Lady is really unlucky! If she knew that her daughter was treated like this by her stepmother, she was afraid that she would turn into a ghost under Jiuquan to seek revenge on your stepmother, right? ”

The head of the Divine Doctor Pavilion shouted loudly, and after a while, people gathered to watch the excitement.

Ordinary people like the gossip of these rich and noble families the most, just to add fun to their ordinary life.

Therefore, when he saw that there was a disturbance in the Divine Doctor Pavilion in the city, he rushed over all of them.

"Shopkeeper, do you mean that the person in this sedan chair is the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion? Although, the stepmother doesn't care for Mrs. Xian's child, but this Shangshu can't watch his own daughter die, right? ”

The people in the crowd with broken mouths sang and harmonized with the shopkeeper of the Divine Doctor Pavilion.

"This little brother, you don't understand, as the old saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather! The first lady of Shangshufu has passed away, if this father also becomes a stepfather, the eldest lady of Shangshufu will suffer! ”

"I don't believe that the world can be so bad! Xu Xian also dares to bully the children of the main room, is there any royal law in this world? ”

Everyone, you say a word to me, and treat this matter as a pleasure.

Mrs. Shangshu has pretended to be virtuous and won a good reputation for many years, but she was lost in the mouth of the people.

Xi Qingyan sat upstairs in the private room, drinking tea and watching jokes!

But because of the scratches on her face, Xi Chuyu, who didn't dare to see people, was not the mother who endured such insults from others.

"Keep your dog's eyes open and see clearly! Is Miss Ben Xi Qingyan's slut? You're all talking nonsense here when you're full? ”

"I advise you to keep your mouths clean for me! This is my mother! Biological mother! Do you know what a big crime it is to insult the wife of a court official? ”

Xi Chuyu ignored it and scolded the people outside.

She thought that she could let the group of people who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement flee in all directions, but she didn't expect that when she appeared with that scratched face, the discussion in the crowd became louder.

"Aren't you the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion?"

"Yes, I heard that this eldest lady of Shangshufu has been disfigured since she was a child! Look at this ugly appearance, she still doesn't admit that she is the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion! ”

"Miss, your own face is ruined, but your heart can't be ruined if you can't follow it! In the past, Mrs. Shangshu was such a good person, how can you say that the woman in front of you is your biological mother? ”

When Xi Qingyan's biological mother was alive, she was a particularly upright woman, and her reputation for helping the weak and the poor was spread in Kyoto.

It is because of this that Mrs. Shangshu, who remarried, will try her best to suppress Mrs. Xian.

It's a pity, justice is in the hearts of the people.

She disguised herself well, but in fact, her intentions were scheming, and onlookers saw it.

"Mother, Mother, I...... I'm not ugly, am I? ”

Xi Chuyu heard everyone's discussions, and was so frightened that he sat down directly on the ground.

Xi Qingyan's face that can't see people, everyone who sees it will avoid it, she Xi Chuyu don't want to become a monster that men don't dare to look at!

"Mother, you have to save me! Save me! ”

Xi Chuyu was extremely scared.

She couldn't care about anything else, so she just begged Mrs. Shangshu to save her.

He also has to become a princess, and he must not become an ugly monster.

"Chu Yu, aren't you embarrassing your mother? Where can I get ten thousand taels of gold? ”

Mrs. Shangshu also knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, but she really didn't have so much money!

There are so many mouths up and down the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites to eat, as the head of the house and there is no rich dowry to help, it is not easy to maintain the dignity of the Shangshu Mansion on weekdays, and now she wants to take out 10,000 taels of gold, isn't this asking for her life?

"Mother, daughter's face is more important than that money! Give it to him! ”

Xi Chuyu used to like others to watch her beauty the most, but now that her face is rotten, she always feels that those people are laughing at her when they look at her more!

"This ......"

Mrs. Shangshu didn't know what to do for a while.

"I'm your own daughter, mother, do you still want another disfigured eldest lady in Shangshu Mansion?"

Xi Chuyu saw that Mrs. Shangshu was still hesitating, and shouted anxiously.

These words made Mrs. Shangshu empowered.

The disfigured Xi Qingyan ignored the dogs in Kyoto, she couldn't let her daughter Xi Chuyu also look miserable!

"Good!"

Mrs. Shangshu gritted her teeth and agreed to the matter.

"Shopkeeper, Mrs. Ben signed an IOU on your counter today! As long as you give me the antidote, I will definitely ask the people in the house to send you money when the time comes! ”

Mrs. Shangshu really couldn't come up with so much money, so she could only make an IOU first.

"I'm sorry, but the Divine Medicine Pavilion doesn't take credit."

The shopkeeper directly refused.

Then he glanced at Xi Qingyan in the private room upstairs, and after receiving the instructions from the valley master, he continued.

"Although we do not accept credit, you can mortgage the corresponding things, such as the shop in your name, the good land and the gold and silver ornaments, which can be converted into the corresponding price."

"You're blackmailing!"

Madame Shangshu was furious.

Her dignified official and wife are now discussing with the shopkeeper, and she didn't think that the other party would toast and not eat and drink.

"You're a medicine shop, not a pawnshop! Do I dare to ask for it for you? ”

A small Divine Doctor Pavilion acted so arrogantly, which made Mrs. Shangshu very unhappy.

"Have you forgotten that our mother and daughter are relatives of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites! If you still want to do your business well in this prosperous Kyoto, let Mrs. Ben get acquainted with it today! ”

Even a worm will turn.

Mrs. Shangshu couldn't help but want to threaten others when she was in a hurry.

"Madam, don't look at my small shop, the reputation of the people behind us is no worse than that of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!"

The shopkeeper is neither humble nor arrogant, and smiles lightly.

"So you don't have to worry about it here, don't worry, as long as you can afford it, Madame, the store will naturally dare to accept it!"

"You're ......!"

Mrs. Shangshu didn't expect her to move her husband out, but the other party still didn't buy it.

In the end, she could only stomp her feet and go back to Shangshu Mansion to get things in a fit of anger, after all, her daughter Xi Chuyu's face no longer allowed her to continue bargaining.

Less than half an hour.

Mrs. Shangshu sat in a sedan chair, holding a brocade box tightly in her arms, and approached the Divine Medicine Pavilion again.

"Shopkeeper, here are the land deeds of more than 50 shops in Kyoto, in addition to the land deeds of 800 acres of fertile land, I will press them all to you! You can cure my daughter now! ”

Xi Qingyan listened to what Mrs. Shangshu said, and she knew that the other party was taking Mrs. Xian's dowry.

These land deeds granges add up, I'm afraid they also account for half of the dowry of the first wife, since this is the case, she will get half back today, and she will take the rest slowly!

Xi Qingyan achieved her goal, and after signaling to the head of the Divine Medicine Pavilion, she left Mrs. Shangshu's mother and daughter to treat her face, and she left through the back door of the medicine building.

On the street, people come and go.

In order to cover the ugly scar on her face, Xi Qingyan deliberately wore a veil, and she noticed someone behind her as she walked.

Suddenly, the vigilance was raised, and Xi Qingyan flashed into a small alley.

After waiting for the man who was following her to approach, she pulled out the silver needle in her sleeve and was about to move.

"Mother, don't you want me anymore!"

The person who came directly crashed into her arms, Xi Qingyan heard the sound of motherhood, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he picked up Xi Xiaochen in his arms.

"Xi Xiaochen, you have a lot of skills! Why didn't you come out as soon as you saw your mother? ”

"Mother, you have wronged me!"

Xi Xiaochen understands Xi Qingyan the most, and he knows that his mother will not be really angry with him.

"Actually, when I said goodbye to my mother in the Divine Medicine Valley that day, I quietly filled my newly developed spices in my mother's sachet, its aroma is unique and very long-lasting, I think that no matter where you go, I can find you!"

When Xi Xiaochen was wandering on the street, he suddenly smelled that special fragrance.

He knew that his mother was in Kyoto, so he followed the fragrance and found it.

"Mother, am I getting better and better? You see I've been putting spices in for so long, and you don't even notice it! ”

The little one is smug.

However, Xi Xiaochen is indeed not low in talent in practicing medicine.

"You think I didn't find out? Xi Xiaochen, are you familiar with all the gold prescriptions I gave you? I'll tell you, if it's a wrong medicine, I'll let you copy it a hundred times! ”

"Mother, you will scare me a hundred times!"

Xi Xiaochen heard that he was going to be punished again, and trotted out of the alley all the way.

"Stop! Xi Xiaochen! Xi Qingyan has raised the little guy for five years, and she is extremely familiar with his every move, so she can easily handle any move from her son.

Xi Xiaochen hadn't run too far before he was picked up by Xi Qingyan by the collar.

"Xi Qingyan, this is my son, not a cat or a dog, you are not allowed to mention him like this."

Su Lixiao followed the lost Xi Xiaochen all the way to find it.

"What does it have to do with you that I teach my son?"

"This is my son too!"

Su Lixiao's face was full of displeasure, and he once again reaffirmed his relationship with Xi Xiaochen!

Xi Qingyan put aside him as a father every time, and this kind of behavior made him very unhappy!

"You have time to teach me a lesson here, why don't you see if your way of raising children is up to par, you let Xi Xiaochen, a five-year-old child, run around on the busy street, stumped This is what you should do as a father?"

Xi Qingyan unceremoniously slammed back.

"You're ......!"

Su Lixiao was speechless for a while.

On weekdays, few people can make him angry, but every time he meets Xi Qingyan, he can't control his temper!

"Xi Qingyan, if you are so respectful and inferior, this king will never give you an invitation to the palace banquet!"

"Lord Wang, it turns out that you still thought about giving me an invitation?"

Li Wang Shuxiao originally wanted Xi Qingyan to be soft, but he didn't want Xi Qingyan to ask back with a curious face.

"Xi Qingyan!!"

Su Lixiao felt that his self-control was getting worse and worse.

"Yes, yes, I'm here, can you make your old voice smaller? I'm not deaf, so why are you so loud? ”

Xi Qingyan covered his ears and corrected impatiently.

Unexpectedly, King Li in front of her did not teach her a lesson, but planted himself on her......
