Huiqing's medical skills are indeed excellent, and within a year, He Yue's body has been better, and he is no longer coerced by illness.

This year's winter was particularly cold, with wind and snow spreading, and the eaves of each house were covered with fresh snow.

In a private street not far from the boundary of Duanjia, there is a rouge shop in the best area, and the rouge gouache sold is not very expensive, the usual price is only, but it is better than a wide variety, and everyone loves to shop.

"Boss Duan, if it's half a tael cheaper, I'll buy it!" The Humpty Dumpty woman haggled over a handkerchief, and there were no less than a hundred boxes of rouge on the table.

He Yue, who was sitting on the chair, was wearing a veil, a pair of beautiful willow eyes glanced at her, knocked on the table with her bare hands, and her tone rose, "If it's half a tael of silver cheaper, I'll sell you at a loss, how can there be a deal like this, no, if you don't buy it, Boss Tian, just put the goods back for me!" ”

Outside the Duan family, He Yue has always been careful and careful, and even used the surname Duan, I am afraid that it will take a few more years before she can use her name openly.

And Boss Tian is just a shameful title, this short and fat woman is doing business between men and women, raising a group of daughters in a compound, and there is no public plaque for trading, but in private, the courtyard is full of men coming and going.

"Oops! Ah! The short and fat woman finally gritted her teeth and paid the full amount of two, and patted the packed big box with her hand angrily, and her tone was slightly yin and yang, "Boss Duan, you're not so bad, aren't you?" ”

The short and fat woman was greeted and sent in the courtyard all day long, a pair of eyes were so vicious, Boss Duan was afraid that he couldn't buy it even if he was a daughter, the snow-white and variegated fox fur, the white jade carved fairy bracelet on the wrist, the royal blue dotted emerald hanging bead hairpin on the woman's hair bun, not to mention the surname Duan, Boss Duan is afraid that it is the wife of the young master in the Duan family's outer house!

The Duan family has strict family rules, cheap concubines can't go out, and good concubines are not allowed to go out without the permission of their husband or Mrs. Zhengtou, and it is impossible to cross a day when they go out, and this Duan boss is nested in the rouge shop all day long, so it is impossible to be a concubine.

It's weird! The good lady did not stay in the Duan family's house, but started a small business outside, and even half a tael of silver had to be taken care of!

He Yue sat lazily on the chair, leaning slightly, leaning against the wooden cabinet behind him, but not frivolous, his white fingers fiddling with an abacus, the abacus beads made a sound of touching, and he didn't even raise his eyes.

"How is it not bad? Boss Tian, which businessman likes to listen to this, half a tael of silver is half a hanging money, five hundred yuan, I have to sell some rouge to fill it. He Yue's voice was slow and not aggressive, but he had an indescribable majesty.

The short and fat woman is used to eating soft and afraid of hard, and she scolded a few words in her heart and took the box and left, just stepped out of the rouge shop, and faced a delicate woman in a yellow dress, when the woman passed her side, her eyes seemed to see something pickled, and the short and fat woman was used to seeing this kind of look, and she didn't care about leaving.

The handsome woman in yellow is named Xiaobi, and she is the maidservant who later served He Yue.

Xiao Bi ran to He Yue with the hem of her dress in a few steps, and bowed respectfully, "Mastermother, the horse steward has sent a message to the servant, and Young Master Duan Zan is waiting in the front yard of the three houses." ”

The main lineage of the Duan family is scarce and there is only one lineage, Duan Qidai doesn't even have a brother, Duan Zan is the only young master of the Duan family, but he is not Duan Qidai's parent, he was raised from the clan closest to the bloodline, and he is already sixteen years old.

In recent years, the clan has become more and more dissatisfied with Duan Zhan, he really can't match Duan Qidai's mental means, they all want to ask He Yue to come forward more than once to raise another child as the second young master, and the main mother is naturally justified when she comes forward.

He Yue wrote the last account on the ledger, put down the pen, "Then let's go, go back to Duan's house." ”

…………

In the front yard of the inner three houses, Duan Zan was rubbing the jade cup in his hand, his face was too handsome, and he had no momentum to suppress, looking a little feminine.

The steward of the horse stood beside him, his eyes fell on the maid in lotus root who was kneeling on the ground, the winter weather was biting cold, even if there were already servants on the ground who had swept the residual snow, but it was difficult to kneel for a long time, not to mention that the maid in lotus root was also careful to hold her slightly round abdomen with her hand, obviously pregnant!

"It's not easy to get a satin mat, the girl is pregnant, I'm afraid it's not good to kneel directly on the ground." Steward Ma said to Duan Zhan.

Duan Zhan pushed the jade cup onto the table, splashing scattered droplets, and said in a gloomy tone, "It's just a maid, how can it be so expensive, the child is gone, just treat her as if she doesn't have that life!" ”

The main fact is aggrieved! He was calculated, he had not yet married a wife, and after having fun with the concubines, they naturally had to take the decoction of avoiding children. This lotus-clothed maid was a momentary indulgence when he was drunk, and when he sobered up the next day, he didn't take it seriously, and only told her to take the child-avoiding medicine.

Who would have thought that three months later, she would run to him and say that he was pregnant! If it was an ordinary maidservant, he would send someone to pour a dose of abortion pills into it, but the maid in lotus root clothes was the son of the clan side, and the father was the steward of the inner house, so it would be difficult to do!

According to the usual practice, the maid in lotus root clothes had to be given a decent status as a concubine.

So he could only come over and ask He Yue to say some good things to the clan, he really couldn't swallow this breath! I don't even want to give the position of a concubine.

The maid in lotus root was shivering with cold, and the tears in her eyes were rolling.

"Why are you free to come and see me today?" The female voice is clear in the ears.

The maid in lotus looked up and saw a beautiful woman walking in, with four maidservants.

Duan Zhan got up to greet him, with a humble smile on his face, "Mother, things were busy a few days ago, so I delayed asking my mother for peace." ”

He Yue is twenty-six years old this year, exactly ten years older than Duan Zhan, he is a good elder, Duan Zan told his mother that there is nothing unusual in his heart.

But it is inevitably a little weird in the eyes of others, this housewife looks like she is only in her early teens, standing with Duan Zhan, not like a mother and son, like a sister and brother.

"Come on, all the punishments will be punished in my house." He Yue glanced at the miserable and pitiful maid in lotus clothes on the ground, paused on her stomach for a moment, and waved her hand at the horse steward, "Help people up and give a bowl of hot tea, don't have an accident here, it's unlucky." ”
