The next day, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the third autumn is exactly half, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shengjing.

Early in the morning, the strong fragrance of osmanthus wine wafted all the way to West Street.

Du Changqing and Ah Cheng arrived earlier than before, Du Changqing was wearing an apricot yellow round-necked robe, tied with an embroidered silk, and Ah Cheng was wearing a tender yellow round-necked shirt, both of them deliberately wore newly made autumn clothes, standing under the plum tree in front of the door, like two vibrant golden cinnamon branches.

Lu Tong and Yin Zheng came out of the shop, Du Changqing first wanted to speak at the lilac thread skirt of Yin Zheng, and then Lu Tong, who came out after seeing it, looked at the half-worn dark blue cotton skirt on Lu Tong's body for a long time, and did not move.

After a while, he wiped his face, pointed at Lu Tong and said in pain: "Doctor Lu, didn't I send you the moon silver or what, why do you always have to dress like this, which makes others see it, and they think that our hospital can't make ends meet, and it will close down tomorrow." ”

Lu Tong was unmoved.

Most of the time, she stays in the shop, and she is not as picky about dressing as Du Changqing, as long as she can wear her clothes.

Yinzheng crossed his waist and refused: "Where is this clothes shabby?" It's not broken or broken, Ming Yuzhai's densely woven gold thread acacia skirt is shabby, a piece of twenty taels of silver, does the Du shopkeeper give money to buy it? ”

"Young Master Ben." Du Changqing snorted, "You usually wear it like this, but today you are going to eat out, and you are dressed so shabby, I am afraid that the restaurant will not let you in." ”

Lu Tong: "Eat?" ”

Ah Cheng smiled and said: "The owner said that today is the fifteenth, and Dr. Lu has also been in Shengjing for half a year, so he booked a luncheon at the Renhe store in Xinmenqiao, and invited us to the hospital to try it." ”

Lu Tong looked at Du Changqing, and Du Changqing coughed lightly: "Since you came to the medical hall, my medical hall has also come back to life, and the dead trees are spring, as the shopkeeper, I am deeply grateful." ”

"Young Master Ben is not an ungrateful person, I will take you to increase your knowledge today, don't look back and say that I am stingy."

There are many restaurants and restaurants in Shengjing, and many rich giants are willing to take the stage to admire the moon and gamble on the Jade Rabbit on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, the business of the restaurant is always very good. Du Changqing, who is calculating, is willing to break the bank this time, and he really has a heart.

Lu Tong's heart moved, and he suddenly spoke: "In that case, why don't you go to Fengle Building?" ”

Fengle Building is the place where my sister Lu Rou met the people of Taishi Mansion at the beginning.

Du Changqing choked, looked at Shang Lu Tong with sincere doubts, tilted his head, and said angrily: "It's beautiful, that Fengle Lou has nearly a hundred taels of gold, if my Lao Tzu is not dead, I can still take you to squander." Now I don't think about it. ”

Lu Tong looked disappointed.

Seeing this, Du Changqing smiled angrily: "I really didn't see that Doctor Lu, you are quite vain." Besides, even if I give up the money, I can't settle down at the table. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the better restaurants have long been filled with those official wealthy, I can take you to Renhe Shop, which is already the boss to see the past friendship. ”

Lu Tong thought for a while and said, "Thank you very much, but Yinzheng and I will go to deliver the medicine first, and then go back to the medical hall to change our clothes after the medicine is delivered." ”

"Delivering medicine?" He frowned, "What kind of medicine?" ”

Yinzheng lifted the medicine box and put it on the table, "The Wenjun Wangfu wants a few cans of 'Slim', which should have been sent a few days ago, and the people in their house said that today is the fifteenth, and the princess of the county will feast on the female family during the day to spend the festival." The girl thought that more people would send medicine, and she could attract more customers, so she rushed to deliver it today. ”

At the beginning, Lu Tong came to Fan's Mansion to treat and deliver medicine to Zhao Feiyan, and Zhao Feiyan quickly lost weight in a few months, and she was in the limelight in the summer banquet. A lady asked Zhao Feiyan to inquire, and Zhao Feiyan was reluctant to say that Lu Tong had acupuncture for her, so she put all the credit on "Xian Xian".

So in the list of the medical hall, there are many more names of the noble family.

These people rely on their identities and arrogant postures, and sometimes they just send someone to say it, and let Lu Tong come to the door to send it, and Lu Tong also sends them one by one.

However, the reason why she pushed it to deliver medicine today was not because she was attracting customers in Yinzheng's mouth, but because she poisoned Liu Kun a few days ago, and she searched the soldiers at night, so she had time today.

Du Changqing believed Yinzheng's casual nonsense, and looked at Lu Tong's gaze with a little more relief.

"Doctor Lu, it's hard for you to think about the medical center everywhere, and the owner is very moved. With a doctor like you, I think it's only a matter of time before our hospital goes to Yuxian Tower in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. ”

He waved his hand, "You go, go early and come back early!" ”

Lu Tong didn't say anything more to him, and walked out of the gate of the medical hall with Yinzheng on his back.

Du Changqing lazily lay in front of the table, looked at the backs of the two of them, threw a black date into his mouth, and asked Ah Cheng: "Hey, just now she said, which house did they go to today?" ”

"It seems to be the Wenjun Wangfu family?"

"Wenjun Palace?"

Du Changqing chewed the jujube for a while, spit out half of the jujube core with a "bah", and scolded the bad luck.

Ah Cheng was puzzled: "What's wrong with the owner?" ”

"You forgot?" Du Changqing rolled his eyes, "The little white face surnamed Pei who copied our family the night before, isn't his sister the princess of Wenjun Palace?" ”

……

Wenjun Wangfu is located in the vicinity of Shengjing North Yutian Street, backed by a large piece of garden, when the old county king was alive, in order to coax his wife to be happy, a large number of flowers were planted in the court, and the scenery was absolutely victorious at four o'clock.

The old county king and his wife see the back, the garden landscape in the county king's mansion is still preserved, and when it comes to the festival day, the mansion often sets up a banquet to reward the guests, and enjoys the wind and moon.

It's the same today.

The Hunan bamboo couch is covered with silk brocade, and a small cluster of golden cinnamon is inserted in the fine white porcelain vase in front of the table, and the room is full of clear and fragrant osmanthus flowers.

The woman leaned on the edge of the bamboo couch in a daze, wearing a light gold wide-sleeved chrysanthemum silk skirt, and the maidservant came from the side and half-put the cloud brocade and beaded cloak in her hand on her.

Pei Yunshu came back to her senses, and Fangzi smiled: "It's cold in autumn, Madame should be careful not to catch a cold." ”

"I don't know why, I've always felt hot these days." Pei Yunshu sighed, raised her hand to stroke her bulging lower abdomen, and looked at Fangzi again, looking a little puzzled, "Could it be that it will be like this in the late stages of pregnancy?" ”

Fangzi had never given birth and didn't understand medical science, so she had to smile awkwardly: "This ...... The slave and the maid do not know. ”

Pei Yunshu tucked the cloak on her body, but she still felt hot, so she raised her hand to open the window wider.

Looking out from the window, there is a faint sound of laughter among the trees in the courtyard in the distance, and occasionally there are traces of people. There are not many visitors in the county king's mansion, and it has not been so lively for a long time.

Today's mid-autumn festival on the fifteenth day, the county king's mansion set up a banquet to reward guests. She, the princess of the county, was pregnant with Liujia and had difficulty moving, so the matter of Zhang Luo's banquet in the mansion all fell on the side concubine Meng Xiyan.

However, even if Pei Yunshu is not pregnant, she will not take the initiative to take over Zhang Luo's chores. She was already impatient with the sophistication of these nobles, not to mention that in the palace of Wenjun Wang, the fact that she, the concubine was a decoration, had long been known to everyone, so she really didn't have to ask for trouble.

Qiong Ying walked in from the outside with a basket of moon balls, put the basket on the table, Pei Yunshu raised her eyes, and when she saw the brocade silk on the mahogany basket, her eyes suddenly bent.

"Sent by Ah Xuan?"

Qiong Ying smiled: "Yes." Shizi asked people to send it to the house early in the morning, saying that it was a crescent moon group from Hongyuezhai in the capital, a basket of six flavors, but Mrs. is pregnant now, it is best not to eat more, taste a little. ”

The county king's mansion also prepared a moon group, but Fangzi was cautious and didn't dare to let Pei Yunshu taste it. In fact, it's not just the moon group, since Pei Yunshu became pregnant, all the food in the house has been carefully checked by the two of them to avoid mistakes.

Pei Yunshu responded, and asked Qiong Ying again: "Ah Yi is not here today?" ”

"Your Majesty Lin Yuan gave a banquet, and the Queen Mother ordered the prince to enter the palace."

Pei Yunshu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked Qiong Ying tentatively: "Who are the nobles present at today's palace banquet?" ”

Qiong Ying was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Pei Yunshu thought about it and didn't say anything, but a trace of worry flashed between her eyebrows.

A few days ago, when King Wenjun came to her house, he revealed a piece of news in his words. said that the Queen Mother intended to be a matchmaker for Pei Yunyi.

Pei Yunshu is not surprised, Pei Yunhui walks in front of the emperor all day long, he is just the right age, and because of his meritorious rescue at the beginning, the Queen Mother and His Majesty treat him with special grace. Young and promising, and a close minister of the Son of Heaven, many people in the court want to be in-laws with Pei Jiapan.

However, Pei Yunyao and Zhaoning Gong's father and son are not in harmony, and the Manchu Dynasty knows that Pei Yunyao's family affairs, Zhaoning Gong may not be the master.

If you want to kiss, it is easier to go to His Majesty and the Queen Mother.

However, Pei Yunhui's personality, Pei Yunshu, who is the sister, knows best, seems to be easy-going and easy to speak, but in fact, she is stubborn and has the most ideas, especially after the incident with her mother, Pei Yunhui is even more resistant to marriage. His obedient side has always been hidden under a bright smile, if the queen mother rashly proposed marriage, it may not be a happy event for the Pei family.

Pei Yunshu asked King Wenjun at that time, which daughter did the Queen Mother have a crush on in her heart, but King Wenjun diverted the conversation and didn't want to talk to her more.

Today, there was a banquet in front of the emperor, and there were many nobles present, maybe one of them was the in-law of the queen mother.

I just don't know which family it is.

After a while, Pei Yunshu shook her head, it was useless for her to think nonsense here, the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge, and it would not be too late to make up her mind if she really reached that step.

Moreover, maybe the Queen Mother will point to marriage, and with one finger, she will point to her brother's favorite, and he will not be able to catch up, and there is no need for her to worry about the sky.

She sighed, picked up a small clay puppet on the table and played with it, the clay puppet was made in the shape of a child, brightly painted, and decorated with pearls and jade, which was very cute.

Seeing this, Fang Zi smiled and said: "What is the princess sighing, it won't be long before she will meet Xiao Shizi or Xiao Miss, this is going to be seen by Xiao Shizi and Xiao Miss, and I think the princess is impatient with them." ”

"Nonsense, how could I be impatient with them?"

Pei Yunshu lowered her head and looked at her bulging lower abdomen, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Labor is two months away.

May it be safe.

……

In the county king's mansion, Lu Tong and Yin Zheng were walking to the back kitchen with the maid who led the way.

Since coming to Shengjing, Lu Tong has been to the mansions of many rich and noble families.

The Ke family's mansion is beautiful and complicated, the Fan family's mansion is extremely luxurious, but the Wenjun Wangfu is different.

The county king's mansion contains a large number of gardens, in which the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, the pond is tortuous, the garden in the palace is fragrant, and the large flowers are complete. I heard that every year in the inner garden of the palace to enjoy the flowers, part of it is from the Wenjun Palace's Xunfang Garden.

Now it is the golden autumn, as soon as I step into the county king's mansion, a clump of golden cinnamon is rippling, and I suddenly feel the cold fragrance coming to my face.

Seeing the look of amazement on Yinzheng's face, the maid who led the way in front covered her eyes with contempt and said with a smile: "Today, there is a banquet in the county king's mansion, and everyone is busy in the back garden. You can send the medicine to the back kitchen and you're good to go. ”

Lu Tong didn't speak.

In fact, it is enough to send the medicine to the door of the palace, but how to store the medicinal tea, and the precautions when drinking it have to be explained to people one by one, Lu Tong and Yinzheng sent the medicine to the back kitchen, and explained all the things that should be explained, and then retreated.

The guide maid handed the silver to Yinzheng, looked at Lu Tong and said with a smile: "If the lady uses it well, I will have to bother the girl to run again and send more medicinal tea." ”

Yinzheng hurriedly said: "It should be." ”

Lu Tong also responded in a low voice, and the guide maid was about to send the two of them out, when a hesitant voice came from behind him.

"Doctor Lu?"

Lu Tong was stunned, turned around, and saw a woman with a high mustache and a beaded hairpin standing a few steps away, looking at him in surprise.

Mrs. Dong?

Lu Tong was slightly surprised in his heart.

Unexpectedly, I met Dong Lin's mother here, Mrs. Dong in the Taifu Siqing Mansion.

Lu Tong bowed: "Mrs. Dong." ”

Mrs. Dong took two steps towards her, her eyes stayed on the medical box she was carrying for a moment, a little curious, "Why is Doctor Lu here, could it be that someone in the county palace is sick?" ”

When the guide maid heard this, she was afraid that Mrs. Dong would misunderstand, so she was busy behind her and gently pushed Lu Tong.

Lu Tong said, "No." The folk girl came to send 'Slim' to the county king's mansion. ”

"Slim?" Mrs. Dong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Dr. Lu's business has been done in the county king's mansion, and it seems that the Renxin Medical Center is now quite famous." ”

Lu Tong smiled and replied: "It's all up to the previous lady to help." Mrs. is a nobleman, and those people will go to the hospital to buy medicine when they hear what Mrs. said. ”

Mrs. Dong likes to hear people say that she is very popular, and she is happy when she hears the words, and then she looks at Lu Tong, and she feels more and more that this young doctor is more knowledgeable and interesting than those juniors now, so it is no wonder that the prince of Zhaoning will favor her.

Thinking of Pei Yunyao, the prince of Zhaoning, Mrs. Dong's heart suddenly moved.

She looked at Lu Tong, her eyes flashed, she took Lu Tong's hand, and said with an affectionate smile: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the county king's mansion held a banquet to entertain guests, and I came to the banquet." ”

"You are also in a hurry, the banquet has not yet begun, and it is estimated that many ladies and ladies have arrived. If you come with me, I will tell them about your medicinal tea, and if you have a few cans with you, give them to try it, and you will take this opportunity. How is it? ”

Lu Tong was a little surprised.

Mrs. Dong smiled on her face, but she had her own considerations in her heart.

A few days ago, when her lord was chatting with her, he mentioned the prince of Zhaoning, and now the commander of the palace commander Pei Yunyi.

After the Jingzhong Gongju case, a large number of people in the Ministry of Rites were implicated, and everyone in the DPRK and China was in danger. Under the emperor's anger, he favored Pei Yunyi more and more. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor gave a banquet in the Ming Lin Garden, except for the prince's sect, only you can enter the garden, Pei Yunyi is in it.

The royal family's trust in Pei Yunyi is obvious to all.

This person is so young, the future is bound to be limitless, and there is no harm in making more friends.

Pei Yunyi's mind is unpredictable, but he is very close to Lu Tong, the medical girl of the Renxin Medical Center. Mrs. Dong thinks that she has a good relationship with Lu Tong, and now that she is at the banquet, she sells Lu Tong's personal favor, and when she becomes friendly with the Pei family in the future, it may be much simpler.

Mrs. Dong made up her mind in her heart, so she asked Lu Tong to carry the medical box on her back, bring the silver kite, and go to the banquet together to show her face and leave.

In the Xunfang Garden, the feast is laid, and the treasures are played with mountains and rocks everywhere. In the Liubei Pavilion, the aristocratic ladies who had arrived sat sideways, watching the cups of wine float through the winding Liubei Canal, and the laughter was crisp and endless.

As soon as Lu Tong arrived at Xunfangyuan with Mrs. Dong, a female relative greeted Mrs. Dong: "Why is Mrs. Dong so late today?" Another glance noticed Lu Tong beside Mrs. Dong, and looked puzzled: "This is ......"

Lu Tong's clothes are simple, different from the nobles present, but if she is a maidservant, look at Mrs. Dong's intimate expression towards her.

Mrs. Dong pulled Lu Tong in front of her: "This is Doctor Lu from the Renxin Medical Center, I knew her before, and I just met her in the county king's mansion, so I brought her over to see you." ”

Seeing the gaze cast by the female dependent, Mrs. Dong smiled again: "Don't underestimate others, the medicinal tea 'Xian Xian' that was fashionable in our Shengjing a few days ago was from her." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the ladies lit up and they immediately gathered around.

"Slim" medicinal tea, someone had heard of it as early as the previous summer banquet, after all, Zhao Feiyan, the wife of the detailed judge, was in the limelight with a slender figure at that time. After that, many people went to buy this medicinal tea, but some people thought it was an exaggeration and refused to believe it.

But at today's banquet in the county king's mansion, Mrs. Dong personally led people to introduce her, even if she didn't believe it, she also had the idea of trying three points at this moment. After all, Mrs. Dong vouched for her in front of so many people, at least it shouldn't be completely useless.

A young lady asked Lu Tong: "Then do you still have medicinal tea with you now?" ”

Lu Tong said: "Yes." Then he opened the medical box, took out a few jars of "Fiber" and handed them over, and spoke softly.

"I'm really sorry that I came out in a hurry today, and I only brought a few cans with me. If the ladies and ladies still have what they want, I will write down the mansion with a piece of paper, and I will personally deliver them one by one. ”

When those ladies and ladies heard this, they became more and more interested, and they approached to ask Lu Tong to write down their names. Mrs. Dong looked at it and glanced at Lu Tong meaningfully.

Today's people are all the ladies of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, Lu Tong wrote down these names, and then came to the door one by one, that is, there is one more way. These ways may not become the doors of the Pei family in the future......

Even if she doesn't think about Pei Yunyi, her small dilapidated medical hall has climbed so many rich and noble families, as long as one of them has a connection with her, it will only be good for her future business. After all, in Shengjing, wealth, glory and a steady stream of interests have always been connected to each other, and there is no one who fights alone.

She was secretly admiring Lu Hitomi's cleverness, when she suddenly heard a woman's smiling voice behind her.

"Why are they all in a circle, what's so lively?"

Everyone looked back, Lu Tong also raised his eyes, and saw a few maidservants walking around a young woman from behind the pavilion.

This woman is dressed in a pomegranate red peony butterfly flower Luo skirt, black hair and sideburns, obliquely inserted a gold silk ruby step sway, two coral earrings in her ears make her skin as white as jade, willow eyebrows like smoke, double pupils cut water, with her approaching, full of rings and rings, full of charming.

The women present got up and called her "Mrs. Yan".

Mrs. Yan?

Lu Tong was watching the "Mrs. Yan" approach, and Mrs. Dong gently pulled her sleeve on her side and whispered in her ear.

"This is the concubine of the county king's mansion, Meng Xiyan."

It turned out to be a side concubine.

Before Lu Tong could speak, he heard Mrs. Dong continue to instruct, "Wait a minute, if she talks to you, remember, don't mention Master Xiao Pei." ”

Lu Tong was stunned: "Why?" ”

"Don't you know?" Mrs. Dong looked at her in surprise, "Princess Pei Yunshu of Wenjun and Lord Pei are sisters and brothers of the same mother. The princess and Meng Xiyan have always been at odds, if she knew that you were the palace handsome, she would definitely change her way to embarrass you. What," Mrs. Dong's eyes flashed, "Lord Xiao Pei didn't tell you about this?" ”

Lu Tong shook his head, but his heart moved slightly.

She heard Du Changqing say that there is also an eldest daughter in the Zhaoning Mansion, that is, Pei Yunyao's sister, but she has been married and left the mansion many years ago. Lu Tong only knew that Miss Pei was also married to a noble family from Shengjing, but he didn't inquire carefully about who it was.

I didn't expect her to be the princess of Wenjun Palace.

However, when the county princess was preparing for a good feast, why didn't he see the princess of the county in charge, but this side concubine hugged her back and forth, with a domineering face, like the mistress of the palace.

Lu Tong was thinking in his heart, and the side concubine Meng Xiyan on the other end had probably heard about Lu Tong from others, and glanced at her carelessly, without looking at her in her eyes.

Lu Tong was silent and stood up and saluted Mrs. Dong.

"Madame, the feast begins at once, and it is time for me to leave."

Mrs. Dong thought for a moment and nodded: "It's okay." ”

After all, this is the county king's mansion and not the Dong family, and it's okay to joke and gossip, but Lu Tong, a lowly ordinary person, is not qualified to enter the feast. Even if Mrs. Dong wanted to give Lu Tong a favor, she would not offend the ladies for Lu Tong, let alone make the county prince's mansion dissatisfied.

However, looking at the large roster that Lu Tong just remembered, thinking that she had gained a lot today, this favor was given away.

Mrs. Dong smiled: "After a few days, you will come to my house to talk." ”

Lu Tong responded gently, put the medical box on his back, and was about to leave with Yinzheng, when he suddenly heard someone behind the pavilion shouting anxiously: "Madam, madam, it's not good-"

This voice appeared suddenly, shattering the joyful atmosphere of the banquet in an instant, and everyone looked forward in silence, and Lu Tong's footsteps also stopped.

In front of everyone's eyes, a girl in Tsing Yi bypassed the flower garden, stumbled to Meng Xiyan, and fell to the ground with a "poof".

Meng Xiyan looked at the person at her feet, raised her eyebrows, and her voice was a little angry: "What are you shouting recklessly?" ”

The maid raised her head and looked at Meng Xiyan with a frightened expression.

"Madam, something happened, just now the people in the princess's courtyard said that the princess suddenly had unbearable pain in her abdomen, I am afraid that she has a fetal gas, and she is very uncomfortable now, please hurry up and take a look!"
