Chapter 13: Fawning

Qiao Jianghong's original intention was that An Qien didn't like to drink, and it was useless to drink it, so it was better to use the medicine on those who needed it.

He ordered his subordinates to keep their mouths shut, and secretly manipulated all the medicines that belonged to An Qien to Shen Shuli to drink.

Shen Shuli always felt that this decoction was wrong, she had inquired, and the decoction she gave An Qien was very expensive.

It can't be every day, it must be an ordinary recipe.

She kept an eye on it, and when Qiao Jianghong asked Lang Zhong to recheck her body, she let Lang Zhong see the medicine residue behind her back.

If so, she was given an ordinary seed decoction.

Shen Shuli is on fire, what she wants to drink is a seed decoction with a thousand golden leaves!

An Qien has always pretended not to know about this matter, and on weekdays, she either studies medicine, or studies food, otherwise it is just some flowers and plants.

Qingcui often came to greet her, and she sat for most of the day.

The relationship between the two has become a lot closer.

Shen Shuli often saw An Qien in the mansion taking the verdant pavilion in the garden to cool off.

She was silent, and she also understood that An Qien would not let Qiao Jianghong accept her as a concubine for a while.

Shen Shuli put all her hopes on Old Madam Qiao and the Liu family.

On weekdays, she would cook some good meals and serve in front of Mrs. Qiao, and the old lady ate more happily, and her attitude towards Shen Shuli changed a lot.

She did a good job as a female celebrity, and her needlework was even more outstanding, and she sewed a cardigan for Mrs. Qiao and Liu's by herself.

Mrs. Qiao loves peonies, so Shen Shuli embroidered lifelike peony patterns on her clothes.

Liu likes plum blossoms, and Shen Shuli also embroidered plum blossom patterns on his clothes.

This day after day of coming forward to serve and offer courtesy, Mrs. Qiao recognized her more and more.

can be recognized and recognized, and no one has ever put her concubine on the agenda.

She has been drinking this kind of decoction for almost half a month, and she has sex every day, and her stomach is stunned and has no reaction at all.

The verdant child was growing up day by day, and Shen Shuli couldn't wait.

In the past two days, Qiao Jianghong has stopped having sex with her, and has been lured to Liuxian Pavilion by the verdant charm, using the child as an excuse to compete for favor.

Shen Shuli was as anxious as ants in a hot pot, and the idea in his mind was to jump out one by one....

After staying in Liuxian Pavilion for a few days, Qiao Jianghong was happy and thoughtful, verdant and gentle and considerate, and knew his temperament since he was a child.

can always do things to the point, plus she is pregnant, Qiao Jianghong is getting better and better to her.

What bird's nest, jade jewelry, a steady stream of sending here.

Qingcui got these things, and turned her head to give filial piety to An Qien.

An Qien didn't expect her to miss her so much, remembering that in the previous life, Qingcui was even worse than her, she was stillborn by Shen Shuli, and then she was framed to death.

An Qien naturally wouldn't accept these things from her, and sincerely instructed her: "What the son of the world gives you is yours, and you will receive it, and these will be relied on by you and your children in the future." ”

Qingcui didn't understand what she meant, but she knew that the mistress was a kind and reliable person who could strategize.

From the bottom of her heart, she is more willing to be a cow and a horse for An Qien.

"Thank you, madam, Madame loves the verdant, and the verdant is remembered in my heart."

An Qien smiled faintly: "I'm going out to do something today, what is particularly bad about you?" ”

Qingcui was flattered, so she didn't say anything polite to An Qien, she touched her stomach and smiled embarrassedly: "Recently, it's a little, I want to eat sweet and sour, sugar gourd." ”

Qingbi smiled and agreed: "Auntie, this eighty percent is pregnant with a boy." ”

Bai Lu also interjected: "Yes, I think so." ”

Qingcui's heart is very warm and happy, if only it were a brother, there will be a backer in this life.

She is happy to be a sister, and she is her own child after all.

After Qingcui returned to Liuxian Pavilion, An Qien took the two maids to the shop on the street in a carriage.

There are only two shops left in the Hou Mansion on the street, a rice shop and a grocery store.

An Qien went to the rice shop first, and Uncle Fu, the housekeeper who was in charge of the accounts, was the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion.

With a sad face and respectfully, he showed the account book to An Qien, and An Qien didn't care about the profit or loss at all.

But on her face, she pretended to be serious, and after a few glances, she said: "Uncle Fu, you have worked hard these days, although the revenue is not good, but you have also tried your best." ”

Uncle Fu's eyes lit up, he originally thought that the master would scold him with a face, but he never expected that he would be able to escape.

After thinking about it, Uncle Fu felt that something was wrong, and there must be a demon when things go wrong.

He thought that An Qien was going to open him, and hurriedly explained: "Young lady, the old slave really tried his best, this batch of grain was improperly stored due to weather problems, and it was born with insects and could not be sold, which caused a loss." ”

An Qien saw that Uncle Fu was overly nervous, and comforted him: "Uncle Fu, I don't have to worry about your affairs, I don't blame you for this, grandmother, I will tell her, you can guard the shop with peace of mind." ”

Uncle Fu still had a sad face, and he was worried in his heart, the amount of loss this time was not small, enough for the Hou Mansion to eat a pot.

"Madame, what to do with the rice that has worms?"

"Let's leave it there for now."

Uncle Fu was startled, and wrinkled his vicissitudes of life, usually the young lady in the shop was very nervous and tried her best to solve it.

Why doesn't it seem to be inconsequential this time?

He doesn't have much to say as a subordinate, and he will do whatever the master explains.

After coming out of the rice shop, An Qien went to the grocery store.

The grocery store's accounts were not at a loss, and there was a small surplus.

She looked at it, said nothing, and went away with the maid.

The people in the grocery store were also surprised, and usually the young lady would give her opinions, how to set the price, promotion, and what kind of activities to do.

This time, he didn't say anything, and added a tael of monthly stipends to each of them.

An Qien had just left on the front foot, and the men in the shop on the back foot praised An Qien for being a good master and treating people generously.

After checking the shop, An Qien took the two maids to go shopping in the market.

Qingbi finally couldn't hold it back, and asked An Qien in a low voice: "Madam, the rice shop has lost so much, the old lady must let you deal with it by yourself, and finally have to fill it with your dowry, what can I do?" ”

Bai Lu also felt sorry for her master: "Madam, this time and twice, you can't use your dowry again and again, why don't you go back to Anfu and think about it?" ”

An Qien, with a natural complexion, looked left and right, and just saw that there was a sugar gourd seller in front of him.

She happily pointed to the man who sold sugar gourds: "Look, there are sugar gourds." ”

Qingbi wiped her cold sweat silently in a hurry, when is the lady still thinking about the sugar gourd.

She saw that the two maids were burning their eyebrows, sighed, and said with a little penetration: "I won't move the dowry anymore, don't worry, I'm free of my mind." ”

After the words fell, An Qien instructed Qingbi: "Don't worry, go buy ten strings of sugar gourds." ”

Qingbi went to buy sugar gourds, and came back with sugar gourds after a while.

After a while, the three of them were ready to go home.

didn't take a few steps, and ran into Lu Bochu head-on.
