Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 312 The Rights and Obligations of the Mistress
Wei Chi sighed, put down the things in his hands, and said, "I know, but I just don't like the feeling of powerlessness. It's been 12 years in Zhenguan. Why can't you just pass by with a bang?"

Wei Chi looked very depressed, Xie Jiu smiled slightly, and said slowly: "In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun was critically ill, we treated him; Although the body of Princess Jinyang's little son has weak resistance, she has always been healthy and healthy. It can be said that we have taken care of it properly..."

Xie Jiu counted everything, his eyes were like water, and his eyes were warm. Wei Jia suddenly laughed and said with a sigh: "Madam is wise and open-minded, and she can think more openly than an old man like me. That's right, you have changed so much. Well, what is there to be dissatisfied with, but I hope to do better and let those who treat me well be well, that would be great."

Xie Jiu smiled and replied, "Just do your best, the result is beyond our control, you have to set your mind right, Master Wei."

This sister's character...how should I put it?Wei Chi smiled, and finally listened to the words.Xie Jiu is very satisfied, being able to listen to other people's opinions, not self-righteous, not arrogant, is also a good advantage.

Grabbing the tail of Xia Tian, ​​I saved a lot of dried mushrooms and a lot of honey, all of which were filtered and packed, and I made a cup every morning and evening, which is not only healthy, but also beautifying. Xie Jiu likes it very much.

Because the princesses in the palace are getting married gradually, there are fewer and fewer people of the same age as Sizi in the palace, and even fewer people can play with her without bullying her. After finishing schoolwork, you can come to Wei Mansion to play, and really become Wei Jia’s little tail. Wei Jia follows wherever he goes, occasionally reads, writes and writes with Xie Jiu, and plays very well with the two twins of Wei’s family .

After so many years of hanging out with others, Wei Zhi really understood the age of Xiao Sizi.She was born in the seventh year of Zhenguan, and now she is only five years old. Wei Zhi has always misremembered her age, thinking that she is already six years old, but if it is counted as false, it is not wrong.After knowing Sizi's age, Wei Zhi was very moved, this little loli is really precocious.However, considering the situation of Empress Changsun at that time, she became pregnant shortly after giving birth to her son. Given her physical condition, it is no wonder that she could not afford to fall ill. It is estimated that Empress Changsun and His Majesty Li Er did not have time to take care of her at that time. The lonely child , always mature and sensible faster than their peers.In this way, it is not surprising.

On this day, when Wei Jia came back from get off work, there was no one in the main house, nor in the game room. Xie Jiu was looking at the books in the study. It was almost the end of the year, and the accounts of several companies should be cleared again.The twins went to the small tree house with Sizi, Gao Yang and Niuniu.Today, the small tree house has become the favorite place of Si Zi, and he brought a lot of gadgets to make the small tree house full, all of which are fun and cute.When I came under the tree house, I heard Xiao Sizi's crisp voice saying: "Linlin, that can't be eaten, just smell it."

Wei Chi was delighted to hear that, the innocence and cuteness of children is comforting, but...

"what are you eating!"

When Wei Jia climbed up, what he saw was that fat son of their family was stuffing a leaf into his mouth, his little face was gaudy, and when he saw him going up, he grinned at him stupidly, smiling like a dick. The face is drooling, like a little tabby cat.Wei Jia went over in a panic, quickly peeled off the leaves in his hands, took out a handkerchief, wiped his face with disgust, and wiped his daughter, but it was not much better, biting his fingers, drooling , Niuniu is holding a piece of candy, like a puppy, hiding in front, and Qiqi is drooling behind and chasing after.Wei Chi was extremely speechless, his head was full of black lines on the spot, and he grabbed Niuniu by the collar and brought her over: "Don't bully my daughter!"

Niuniu giggled, hugged her little belly, and fell on the fur lying in the tree house, and said, "Qiqi is so cute! Master said, don't give them too much candy, that's why they tease her like that." Son! If you don’t believe me, Master ask Qiqi, she also likes to play with me.”

"Pull it down, you can just bully the kids, be ashamed or not." Wei Zhi gave her two big eyes. This little girl is too bad, and I don't know who she learned from.

"Master Wei is back?" Little Sizi came up to her happily, Wei Jia smiled and patted her head, Sizi was playing house with Linlin, which is why Linlin's little idiot ate leaves.Wei Jia was really speechless, their children were at a disadvantage, playing with a group of spooky children was like a toy delivered to the door, poor.With eyes full of sympathy, she wiped the fat son's face, and brought her daughter to sit in her arms, so as not to be bullied by a bad-hearted senior sister.

"After playing for a day, shouldn't I do something?"

Wei Jia had a wolf-grandpa smile all over his face, Gao Yang directly gave him a look of contempt, Niuniu giggled, her eyes were full of defense, only Sizi trusted him wholeheartedly, and looked at Wei Jia with great interest. Chi, waiting for his next words.Wei Zhi's heart was sweating secretly, and Huyou's life is not easy these days.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Wei Chi said: "Help me collect the dried mushrooms, come if you want to eat, and don't come if you don't want to eat, hehe, you are welcome. Sis, let's go, we must be hardworking and good boys! "

"Hmm! Sizi likes to eat mushrooms!"

Wei Jia picked up his son and was about to go down. He turned to look at the two little idiots in their family. They both go down."

"Okay, sir."

Brother Zhao agreed with a smile, put down his sewing work, and went to play with the twins.Wei Zhi led the rest of the children down, muttering to himself, unconsciously, the little girl who recruited in their family has grown into a delicate little girl. Yes, there is a compelling youthful atmosphere all over her body, it's so good to be young.A young man on the outside, but a fluffy man on the inside sighed like an old man.

Someone abused child labor and mobilized a few children to help clean up the dried mushrooms. In the study, Xie Jiu had just checked the accounts for this quarter, holding a cup of tea, rubbing his sore eyes, and asked in a low voice: " Where are the young master and young lady?"

Li'er, who followed Xie Jiu to serve at the side, said: "The young master and young lady are playing in the tree house, and they haven't brought them back yet."

Xie Jiu waved his hand and said, "It's fine with the master here. After a few days of exhaustion, everyone should go down and rest."

Li'er happily left to rest. Before leaving, she still remembered to bring some snacks for Xie Jiu, and went back to her hut to rest after finishing everything.Mrs. Liu stayed behind, with a look of hesitation.Xie Jiu raised his head lightly, glanced at her, and said, "What do you want to say? Just say it bluntly."

Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said, "Ma'am, it's about recruiting a younger brother. The little girl is going to be eighteen this year. Since she came to our house, she will follow Madam and serve in front of you. Shouldn't it be time for her to arrange a way out? The housekeeper said that Madam and Master are not familiar with these things, let us be servants to remind one or two at an appropriate time, if Madam feels presumptuous, then I..."

Xie Jiu smiled lightly, and said, "No, this reminder is very good and appropriate, Zhaodi... It is indeed time to arrange her way out."

Xie Jiu pondered while holding the teacup, but remained silent.Mrs. Liu has been with Xie Jiu for so long, knowing her personality, and knowing that she has taken her heart, she is relieved.

When resting at night, Xie Jiu took out the question and asked Wei Jia, saying: "The contract for recruiting a younger brother was given to the elder brother by others, and the elder brother gave it to us. The contract is for life. The little girl is careful and well-behaved. She has always been diligent in the backyard. She really needs to carefully consider her way out, do you have any opinions?"

Wei Chi scratched his head and said, "I'm an old man, how can I think of these things, and we don't understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty. When I am on vacation, you can ask your step-mother for advice. Her old man will do it." The mistress who has been the head of the house for so many years has rich experience, and she will definitely be able to help you solve the problem."

When it was time for a public holiday, the Wei family went to the Qin mansion to meet up, and then they all went to Zhuangzi in the Qin mansion to spend the weekend.Mr. Qin has recently become obsessed with fishing. He wears a bamboo hat and sits in the shade of a tree all day long, enjoying fishing. A small fish with long fingers was as happy as a child, and excitedly took it to the kitchen to make soup, saying that it was for everyone to taste.This worried a group of people in the kitchen - what should I do with such a big fish?Ask Wei Chi for advice, Wei Chi also has a headache, so he simply makes fish porridge, as long as it has the smell of fish, everyone drinks a bowl, you have tasted it all, right?
A certain man's clever trick obviously made the old man happy, and he specially granted him the honor of going fishing with him the next day. In other words, when the old man was fishing, he didn't like people around. He said that there were too many people and the fish were scared away. .This reason makes people extremely suspicious. However, as long as the old man is happy, even if he says that the fish in the whole pond don’t eat bait, Wei Chi will happily and sincerely say that the fish has mutated and has nothing to do with the old man’s fishing skills. .

On a rare holiday, wearing a bamboo hat, covering your head and face, nestling in the shade of a tree, dozing lazily, what a beautiful thing.What are you going to do on holiday?Of course it was rest. As for the wife and children, they seemed to be among the female relatives. The two little ones were very popular, and it was too late to rush to hug them. It was too late for the old man to be a father, so he was justly lazy.

A group of women, old and young, are all sitting in the gazebo in the garden, eating fruits, drinking herbal tea, doing needlework, and chatting about gossip. It's a beautiful day. Xie Jiu doesn't like to gossip, and he doesn't like to gossip about other people's parents behind their backs. However, Wei Jia told her not to put on an attitude of rejection just because you don't like it, in order to blend in more harmoniously with the environment and the crowd, at certain times, you can adopt a softer attitude, and your body can be softer.Xie Jiu listened and followed suit, and the effect was good.A certain man once quoted something he had read in a certain book. The book said that it is natural for women to gossip, and they should be understood.After listening to it a lot, Xie Jiu also finds these things very interesting. Hearing the gossip of other people's parents, he can learn a lot of experience in dealing with people, family and husband.Is it true that women naturally like to gossip? !To paraphrase a certain man, this is the riddle of the century, let it continue to be a riddle, and I don't plan to be a thinker or something.

When a woman's family is together, it is inevitable that they will talk about a certain family, and it is inevitable that they will show off their own situation intentionally or unintentionally.While talking, for some reason, it turned to the topic of the owner of another man's mansion secretly raising a child outside, which aroused a lot of discussion among the women's family members, and then talked about a certain male owner of the Wei mansion.Those present today are all the female relatives of the Qin family, and they speak more affectionately without any scruples.The daughter-in-law of Qin's parents smiled and said, "Sisi, why don't you see my younger brother come with you? But the fourth uncle is thinking about taking over the house?"

Xie Jiu was taken aback, and smiled lightly: "Brother Zhao is getting older, we can say that my husband and I watched the child grow up, and Shiro didn't have the intention of taking over the house, so we should pay attention to the taboos that should be avoided. To take care of Qi'er and Lin'er, Li'er has been with us for several years in our room, and it's easy to handle."

The foster mother continued: "Sisi is right, since she doesn't care about her little girl, it's better to pay attention to avoid suspicion."

With an attitude of asking for help, Xie Jiu took the opportunity to ask for advice: "When we first returned to Datang, the batch of slaves we bought are getting older now, and it's time to talk about life. They are not just recruiting younger brothers. Stepmother, I am young. , I have no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, please give advice from my stepmother."

Xie Jiu finally understood after being instructed by his stepmother.How to deal with slaves still depends on the character and ideas of each master's family. Generally, those who have reached the age of marriage choose a spouse from among the servants to marry. Slaves have no status and no autonomy. Freedom of marriage and love are even more nonsense.The mother-in-law didn't say how to deal with it, but gave Xie Jiu a lot of practical examples and let her think about it herself.After all, the mistress of Wei Mansion is Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu learned the scriptures in the Qin Mansion, Wei Jia had a good sleep, and the Kirin twins also had a smile on their faces, cheated a lot of things back home, one person and four of them could say that each got what they deserved, and the vacation was over and they went back home.Xie Jiu also had an opinion in her heart. After returning home, before she could tell Zhaodi, Zhaodi had come to the door with a resentful face, and asked crying, "Ma'am, what is wrong with Zhaodi? Wrong?"
