As a medical concubine

Chapter 7

After finishing speaking, he hurried to the door.

Hearing the hurried footsteps behind her, Huazhu couldn't help but look back, and then asked Qiao'er: "My elder brother is rushing to reincarnate?"

Qiao'er, whose face was pale with fright, laughed out loud when she heard this, but soon realized that she had overstepped, and suppressed her smile and said, "Today's county test."

Hua Zhu raised her eyebrows: "Oh, so it's a test for talent. But I think he looks like he's been shot, so don't burn the test room down later."

As he said that, he couldn't help but think of Liao Zicheng. Liao Zicheng's fourth uncle became a yamen servant five years ago. The law of the Northern Qi Dynasty clearly stipulates that all the three classes of yamen servants except the strong class are untouchables. If someone in a family does this, three generations Cannot take the imperial examination.

Otherwise, with his intelligence, why worry about not being named on the gold list?
He greeted the eldest lady, and the eldest lady asked them to have breakfast together.

Aunt Mei and Aunt Qin cleaned their hands and began to spread chopsticks.

The third miss, Nian Lizhu, and the fifth miss, Nian Xizhu, were sitting on the left and right sides of the eldest lady, while the second-ranked Hua Zhu was squeezed to the back.

In the past, Huazhu always sat next to the eldest lady, but everyone knew that it was just to see the face of the Li family, and now her engagement with the Li family was in vain, who would let her ?
Aunt Mei took the pottery-colored gold silk cup from the maid, put it in front of the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "This is a bird's nest stewed specially for you, with some white fungus and red dates added."

The eldest lady nodded with a smile: "You have always had a lot of insights into the way of keeping in good health, no wonder you have trained Lizhu so well."

Nian Lizhu smiled shyly.

The eldest lady seemed to say casually: "Did Lizhu sit in the wrong seat?"

Nian Lizhu was taken aback, sitting in the wrong seat?She always sits on the lady's left...

She looked at Huazhu who was pushed to the back, her heart was shocked, did the lady ask her to give up her seat to Huazhu?But in terms of tooth sequence, it should be the fifth sister who got up.

Or did he unintentionally offend the eldest lady?
How does Aunt Mei wink?Before Nian Lizhu figured out the meaning of the eldest lady, she pulled Nian Lizhu up, and sat down here with Hua Zhu, and said with a smile on her face: "The third lady is probably sleepy, and she doesn't even know where to sit." forget."

Nian Xizhu shrugged her head gloatingly, Huazhu lost her backing, and Nian Lizhu seemed not to be welcomed by the eldest lady. From now on, Nian's family will belong to her like a fish in water.

Huazhu took a sip of the millet porridge, and glanced at the two aunts who were busy before and after, Aunt Mei was smiling but her eyes were dim, Aunt Qin was frowning but her eyes were shining, she was wearing a padded jacket with a vertical collar and a pipa lapel, On a very warm day today, she looks a little bloated and redundant, especially since she is sweating from the forehead, which means that she also feels hot, but she still tightens her neckline with her hands from time to time.

She can see it, but the eldest lady may not be able to see it, or is this Aunt Qin's original intention?
After eating, the eldest lady held a teacup and said, "First of all, I would like to announce good news to everyone, the master has been promoted to magistrate."

Aunt Mei and Nian Lizhu were both surprised, and then congratulated the eldest lady together with Aunt Qin, mother and daughter.

The eldest lady took a sip of tea and said happily: "From now on, our daughters will be the daughters of the magistrate. I sent a letter to Jiangzhu, asking her to help find a master with background, and teach everyone how to be a female celebrity." Learn with women."

If it is a famous teacher and professor, it will be honorable for the daughter's family to spread the word.

Most of them accepted and approved of this initiative.

Lizhu smiled gratefully: "Thank you mother for thinking about us, we will definitely study hard and try to earn some face for mother."

This time it sounded good, but the eldest lady only smiled faintly.

Hua Zhu thought for a while, and asked, "Is my eldest sister going to give birth soon? It's really embarrassing to worry about us like this."

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the eldest lady: "She is the eldest sister, and she should worry about you. If you are really sorry, you can make some clothes for the little nephew as a thank you gift. After finishing it a year ago, I will let people Send it over. Huazhu is injured, share some with Lizhu and Xizhu."

Hua Zhu was "flattered" and said: "Thank you, mother, for your understanding."

Then he looked at Nian Lizhu and Nian Xizhu: "Sisters, please trouble me."

The two naturally dare not say "no".

The eldest lady flicked the green tea leaves with the lid of the cup, and said slowly: "I remember that Aunt Qin's needlework is the best. Xi Zhu has obtained Aunt Qin's true biography, why not embroider some double-sided purses."

Double-sided embroidery is the most complicated. Nian Xizhu was not happy at first, but when she heard that it was just an embroidered purse, she readily agreed: "Yes, mother, I wonder how many sisters need?"

The eldest lady waved her hand: "Oh, not many, a hundred or ten is enough."

Nian Xizhu's face turned pale instantly...

As soon as he left the main courtyard, Nian Xizhu blocked Huazhu's way: "Purse, each person embroiders half of it!"

Huazhu looked at her coldly: "That is the task assigned to you by your mother, why should I take half of it for you?"

Nian Xizhu bit her lip and said, "I have given you so many things! Why don't you embroider half of my purse?"

Huazhu shook her head quite naturally: "No."

Nian Xizhu was in a hurry: "Then you return the things to me!"

Huazhu was puzzled: "Give me back what? Give you back what?"

Nian Xizhu was wronged by the eldest lady, and she was worried that she had no place to vent her anger, so she turned her anger on Huazhu: "I gave you something! I...I won't play with you Yes! So you have to return the things to me!"

Hua Zhu suddenly felt amused: "The food you gave me is all food. I've eaten it all. Do you want me to spit it out for you?"

"You..." Nian Xizhu was gasping for breath, she was already fat, and with such a breath, all the fat in her body trembled.

At this moment, Nian Lizhu came out with Fang's mother, and seeing Nian Xizhu was so angry that Fang's mother smoothed things over with a smile: "If you can't write two characters for 'year' in one stroke, why bother Miss Fifth?" Fighting with Second Miss?"

Nian Xizhu snorted: "Who is fighting her?"

Huazhu smiled, ignored it, and walked towards the second door with Fang's mother. Because she wanted to make clothes for Jiangzhu, the eldest lady allowed them to go to the shop to choose clothes.
