The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 67

The next day, Chu Niangzi took her sisters into the Hanlin Mansion on the other side of Eryang Street.

The second wife invited nephews and nieces to visit the Hanlin Mansion together—although the Hanlin Mansion is not as large as the Governor’s Mansion, it is also a garden and rockery, and there is nothing missing. When visiting at home, even the children will shorten their walking steps.

Ninth brother and eldest son-in-law were taken by the elder master to visit Mr. Zhang Weiting at Zhang's house early in the morning, but naturally they didn't go.

Qin Niangzi was also lazy to walk around the Hanlin Mansion.

He simply claimed to be sick, "I felt chest tightness and nausea when I woke up this morning. I think it's because the heat was early this year and I had heat stroke."

The eldest wife took it very seriously, so she simply never went to the Hanlin Mansion, "Please ask a doctor to extend the medicine, how can I do it if there is no one at home to take care of it. I might as well take care of it at home."

The crowd was led by the first lady to Hanlin Mansion.

Seventh Lady lay obediently on the bed, her face staring at the bed curtain in a daze.

Not long after, the disciples of Ouyang's family came to feel Qiniangzi's pulse.

Although the Ouyang family has only practiced medicine for generations, they are no less airy than the Yang family. Not to mention the old man Ouyang, several masters and young masters will not be easily moved by such a minor illness.

"I'm afraid it's after the summer heat, so I'll prescribe a few pills. If the girl wants to take it, she can take a few pills. If she doesn't want to, it's fine." That disciple is also knowledgeable.

Qin Niangzi leaned against the bed and chatted with Li Xia and Bai Lu one after another, and told them to open the makeup box, and took the jewelry given by the eldest wife to enjoy.

After lunch, the second wife sent a message: The nieces will not return to the Governor's Mansion until after dinner.

Qin Niangzi woke up after taking a nap, but she didn't see Bai Lu, and then she remembered that Yao's mother had taken her home.

For a while, I was a little embarrassed: when Yao's mother was not able to pick him up, he used many clichés.

"Forget it," she murmured to Li Xia, "When you came to pick someone up, you were in a hurry to go home and reunite with your relatives, so there was no need for nagging."

Li Xia just laughed, and Qin Niangzi said, "Bai Lu should be given a few liang of festival money."

"Festival fee, this name is really new." Li Xia read it several times, "The rewards under the festival are already available in the officials, and you should keep your little money for yourself - it's fortunate that the girl figured it out like this." Nice name!"

"You don't know much about this, do you?" Qin Niangzi giggled, "There are too many items, such as holiday expenses, summer vacation expenses, bus fares, phone calls... If you think of a name, I can give you a subsidy Send money!"

"What's the fare for the fare, and you get money for talking?" Li Xia innocently widened his eyes.

Seventh Lady laughed loudly, "Isn't it? The more you talk, the more money you get!"

As he spoke, he felt a little sentimental, "It took so much effort to get into such a good place, but unfortunately, I only stayed for a few years..."

Li Xia couldn't understand it.

She didn't ask carefully.

For a character like a girl, how can she get to the bottom of it.

"I don't know how big the Hanlin Mansion is." She and Seventh Lady chattered.

"Don't you have an aunt working in the Hanlin Mansion?" Seventh Lady asked, "After the Dragon Boat Festival, I will also give you half a day off. You will know when you go home and ask your aunt to take you to the Hanlin Mansion."

She has always been fair to these two big maids.

Li Xia declined with a smile, "I went back last month, besides, Sister Bai Lu didn't go home to visit relatives for nothing."

Yao's mother tried hard to beg for face, and she must have her purpose in bringing Bai Lu home.Bailu also smelled a bit out of tolerance.

Qin Niangzi gave Li Xia a blank look, revealing the savagery of her little daughter in a rare way, "Silly girl, I told you to go to Hanlin Mansion, isn't it a business trip?"

Li Xia's expression suddenly changed, Wei Wei Ying was right.

Curious again, "Young lady wants to know the layout of Hanlin Mansion, why don't you go and have a look around?"

Seventh Lady sighed.

Li Xia is a good boy and very smart, but unfortunately, sometimes his mind is a little bit off.

"What can I see when I go there?" She sighed, "When people see that I am the lady of this mansion, what else do they dare to say? Only if you go, what you see is the real Hanlin Mansion."

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

If Mother Yao hadn't picked Bai Lu home this time, Qin Niangzi would never have thought of letting Li Xia enter the Hanlin Mansion to see the situation.

After all, she is still inexperienced in house fighting, and she is only dealing with many things passively, without the concept of taking the initiative to attack.

Li Xia suddenly realized.

"Miss taught me a lesson." She nodded solemnly, and revered again, "Miss is really... nothing can trouble you!"

Seventh Lady smiled slightly, but she didn't show much complacency.

This group of noble ladies and noble ladies in ancient times had no pressure in life, and no normal relationship between men and women. Their words and deeds were all restricted by etiquette.

I had no choice but to focus on the intrigue.

Based on her many years of life experience, once she has transmigrated into this body, even after years of practice, she is barely able to survive.

The scheming of modern people is nothing compared to that of ancient people.

This exquisite and elegant Baifang Garden is not only the home of these wives, aunts, and young ladies, but also their workplace and battlefield.

You have to fight bloody all the way, so that you can jump out of the three realms like a first-time lady, not among the five elements,

I don't know what kind of changes this elder sister who seems to have achieved in cultivation will bring to the delicate situation in the mansion.

After dinner, Bai Lu was sent back to the West Side Hospital by Yao's mother.

Seventh Lady hurriedly put on her clothes and got up, and she personally let Yao's mother into the Xili room, and the two sat opposite each other to drink tea.

"I was neglected today, and I couldn't accompany my elder sister to visit the garden." Li Duo was not surprised.

Yao's mother's attitude towards Qin Niangzi was obviously respectful and pruned. "Where is this, please don't be so polite."

She looked at Seventh Lady with a smile, "They are all concubines who are raised in the main courtyard... First lady does not show it on the surface, but she loves you very much in her heart! I often talk to me when I have free time, and I don't know how you live in the West Side Courtyard. Okay, are you feeling idle?"

Qin Niangzi will not believe this, but she will not take it seriously.

The goodwill of the Yang family is conditional, and if the conditions are not met, they will be lazy to pay attention to you.

Just like the aunt and fifth aunt at that time, if she behaved inappropriately and did not act prudently, I am afraid that these two aunts would not show kindness to her.

She smiled, "Big sister is kind." She lowered her head and blew tea.

A look of surprise flashed across Yao's mother's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this Seventh Lady, at such a young age, is so watertight.

"Bailu didn't cause you any trouble, did she?" Changing the subject, "Her parents asked me to say hello to you. I heard that you like to eat bad bamboo shoots and bad fish, so you made a pot of bad bamboo shoots and bad fish carefully, so I let Xiaoyaoer let her go." Arrived at Bailu House."

Qin Niangzi quickly thanked Yao's mother.

The dregs are meant to be eaten fresh, I am afraid that the Yao family rushed to find the dregs and came out to give gifts to Bai Lu last night.

She thought of the rose fermented bean curd sent by Li Xia's family.

Who said that the inner courtyard is not a workplace?

The two chatted some gossip again, and Seventh Lady couldn't help but asked First Lady, "Is Eldest Sister okay in Li's house, she gave birth to a daughter this time, she didn't suffer much..."

Why doesn't Mother Yao understand the meaning of Qin Niangzi?
People in the countryside are more and more patriarchal, and the first child is a daughter, which will inevitably lead to criticism from the in-laws.

"Hey." She couldn't help it, her face was full of spring breeze.

Just this expression shows how respectable the first lady is in the Li family.

"The father-in-law and the mother-in-law really want to treat the first lady more dearly than their own daughters, so how can they say anything serious... I wish I could be happier than having a big fat boy!" Then they babbled about how the Li family was considerate to the first lady. "... My sister-in-law went to the Buddha and knelt down for three days, asking for a talisman to tie around my daughter's neck, to bless her in safety and health..."

Seventh Lady listened very attentively.

There was unconcealable envy on his face.

Mother Yao saw it, and she was a little more kind to Qin Niangzi.

Isn't the concubine who lives in the main courtyard just for a good marriage?
Qin Niangzi is very young, but she is transparent.

She got up and said goodbye, "It's been a day since I was out, I'm afraid the first lady will have to put the little girl to sleep...Young master studies hard, and there is no elder in the clan who is an official, and it is far away from her mother's house..."

Seventh Lady smiled and sent her out of the threshold.

Li Xia seemed to understand but half understood.

When Seventh Lady saw it, she laughed for a while.

The conversation with Yao's mother was aimed at testing each other.

At first, Mother Yao only wanted to find out about her.But he didn't want to reveal the intention of the first lady.

Finally, he couldn't help revealing the intention of Mrs. Lu Chu's visit.

It's far away from her natal family, so it's not easy to take advantage of her natal family's influence. The eldest wife manages a lot of things every day, and as time goes by, I'm afraid her love for the first-time lady will fade away.

Does Seventh Lady still not understand how the eldest wife is?
Just looking at Brother Nine's injury, one could tell that her treatment of the concubine was only for saving face after all.

If a first-time lady wants to maintain the eldest wife's love for her, she can't just rely on sending things to her natal family.

The Li family is not a wealthy family, so how could there be so many rare things sent to her natal family?
