Chapter 5 Returning to the Palace
"Fifth sister, sister Xu is a doctor?"

The carriage started rattling towards Anping Bo's Mansion on Qingning Street, Geng Xingchen asked curiously.

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Don't look at Sister Xu's young age, but her medical skills are very good. Her grandfather went out to see the doctor, and Xu's second brother always called Sister Xu to come to see the doctor. This is enough to show that Sister Xu's medical skills are very good, and the people around here are also very good. I really approve of Sister Xu's medical skills, and it's not because Sister Xu is young that I don't want to see her."

"She's so powerful. I used to think that only old doctors with gray hair and beards could be trusted. Now it seems that I'm being too smug."

"You are right to think so. Seeing a doctor requires both self-study and experience accumulation, and a lot of memorized knowledge. Sister Xu is precocious and has a long history of family education. There are very few people like her.

But Sixth Sister doesn't have to envy Sister Xu, you are also very good, you see you are younger than Sister Xu, but few people can match the ability to make shoes with one hand. "

Geng Xingchen was a little embarrassed, "I was also forced by my mother when I was a child. She asked me to learn female celebrity, but I was only interested in making shoes, so in order to fool my mother, I made shoes every day. My mother was very happy at first. , but now she doesn’t want me to touch shoes anymore, she just wants me to cut clothes, embroider purses, embroider handkerchiefs, and even let me go to the big kitchen to learn how to make steamed buns.”

"Then this time, Third Aunt..."

"It was all instigated by the second aunt. She just saw that I was uncomfortable with my fifth sister earning money, so she told my mother something. I thought about it. If my mother stops me again, I will kill you If I earn the dowry myself, maybe I can also earn the dowry for my fourth brother."

Although Geng Xingchen made some money with Geng Xingshuang before, but she was loose, either buying snacks or buying some novelties, and couldn't save money. Her mother Jiang didn't see the real money from her, so she listened again. According to my second aunt Yao, it is said that a girl should know everything, she can only make shoes, but other female celebrities and cooking skills are not good enough, and she will always be short of breath when talking about kissing in the future.

In fact, from Geng Xingshuang's point of view, she felt that the third aunt might not think that the second aunt was right, but now the second uncle is the only official in the family. He acted like he respected his second aunt's words.

It took Geng Xingshuang to take Geng Xingchen around for nearly two hours, and when he returned to Bo's house, it was almost noon.

"Six girls!"

As soon as she entered the mansion, Bai Zhi greeted her, "My wife has been asking where you have been, and I am very worried."

"Does my mother know that grandma is going to sell pandan?"

Like Banjuan, Xianglan was called away by the servants of the main courtyard because they needed help.

Bai Zhi nodded, "I know, sister Qiuye from the second wife's room told me about it."

Geng Xingchen was a little disappointed, "So, if the second aunt doesn't tell people, my mother will still be kept in the dark?"

Geng Xingchen muttered these words in a low voice, neither Geng Xingshuang nor Bai Zhi could say anything.

"Fifth sister, I'm going back to Wutong Garden first."

Looking at Geng Xingchen's back with a slumped head, Hualian said: "Girl, what do you think the third wife thinks? Does she really want to rely on the second master and the second wife to help the fourth young master and six girls find a good marriage?" ?”

The second room itself, the young master, the third girl, and the fourth girl have not said anything about marriage. The young master is nineteen this year, and next year will be the year of the weak crown. It has been delayed until now because he wants to become famous in one fell swoop this year, and take advantage of the opportunity to marry A noble daughter.

There are also the third girl and the fourth girl. The third girl is a concubine's daughter, and this year she will marry Ji, and the marriage has not yet been settled.

Therefore, in terms of marriage, whether it is marrying a noble son-in-law or a noble daughter, the second room is a bit overwhelmed by itself, and it is obvious that the second master's official position as a sixth-rank official is more than enough.

The second room is like this, and Hua Lian is a little confused about what the third wife is thinking.

"Compared to the marriage between the fourth brother and the sixth sister, the third aunt is more worried about the days after the plaque of the Uncle Anping's Mansion is taken back."

Hualian thought for a while, and felt that she understood what the girl meant, but felt that she didn't quite understand.

Back in Qingcui Courtyard, the lunch of master and servant has been brought back from the big kitchen by Jin Bao.

While taking the food out of the food box, Hua Lian complained, "It's rare to see meaty food for 20 taels of silver per month."

These are the meals of the masters. Except for the New Year's Day, the servants even have a few leaves floating on a bowl of water.

"I'm missing your food!" Geng Xingshuang said angrily.

"Of course the girl didn't miss our food, but Mrs. Uncle is too much, she doesn't know what to do after collecting so much money."

Hualian was just not worth it because of their big house. After the uncle was injured and stepped down as the commander of Yunanwei, he directly bypassed the eldest son who was the eldest son and gave his kindness to the second master. This is against the rules. It stands to reason Dafang has suffered such a big loss, so there must be more compensation in other aspects.

but……

"Now it's getting more and more serious."

The half roll was sold, if it wasn't for the girl having money in her hand, and the uncle working as a servant in the government office, the half roll would not know what kind of dirty place it would have ended up in.

Hualian couldn't help but feel that some things hurt her, and she was even more worried that what Mrs. Uncle would do in the future would become less and less popular, not only them, but also the girl. Although the girl was engaged, the future uncle will not be in Ningdu, and the family will also If I can't help, I'm afraid Mrs. Uncle will lose her mind and plot against the girl for her own benefit.

These things happen every day in Ningdu City, no matter how smart a girl is, there will always be times when she cannot guard against it.

Hualian thought so, and Jin Bao came in.

"Mother's lunch break?"

"The wife is asleep, and sister Jinzhan is taking care of her, girl, the wife said that the sister will not come back after a while, and the servant girl will follow the girl from now on."

Jin Bao and Geng Xingshuang are the same age, 13 years old this year, they are round and round, they look like a white flour steamed bun that can be kneaded softly, without the sharpness of Jinzhan and Hualian, but Jin Bao is very good at pretending to be a pig The ability to eat tigers, and she has some martial arts strength, can knock down two or three adult men who have not practiced martial arts.

Her mother felt that after opening the shop, she would have to run out often, and it would be safer to have Jin Bao by her side, but with Mrs. Uncle and Second Wife at home, Geng Xingshuang was also a little worried about her mother, worried that she would suffer.

There are still too few people, and I don't know if the letter she wrote to the second brother has been received by the second brother, can you find two female bodyguards for her.

I don't know how much monthly silver is needed to hire a female bodyguard as a bodyguard. Shopkeeper Yuan and Shopkeeper Liu have helped her to promote her, and Sister Yan, I don't know if she has listened to her own words, attended more parties, and promoted Mingshang Pavilion go out.

"Then you follow me. By the way, how much money did Mrs. Uncle collect? How did the third sister do it? Did you stop Mrs. Uncle?"

No matter whether they stopped or not, the result did not change anyway. As soon as they entered the mansion, they knew that Ban Juan, Shen Shui, and Xiang Lan had been taken away by Mrs. Yu. Know.
