Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

When Xie Shi saw Bai Yiniang, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Ha ha……

The charming and gentle Concubine Bai turned into a big white and fat steamed bun. No wonder the master left after just a cup of tea in the Acacia Courtyard.

Aunt Bai knew too well what Mrs Xie was laughing at.

Xie Shi was laughing at her being ugly and gloating at misfortune.

Concubine Bai secretly snorted, and Mrs Xie didn't seem to be much better than her.

After all, Mr. Xie was getting old, and since he entered the capital, one thing after another, it has not stopped.

Xie's well-maintained face also had an old look, her eyes were no longer high, and she was more tired.

Why is your wife here? Concubine Bai's voice was as gentle as ever.

Xie said, I heard that the twelfth brother is ill. As the first mother, I naturally want to take a look. Have you invited a doctor?

Mrs. Lao is concerned and has invited a doctor.

What did the doctor say?

Mr. Xie walked all the way into the main room of the Acacia Courtyard, and by the way asked about the condition of the twelve brothers.

Mrs. Xie sat down on the throne, and Concubine Bai bowed and stood in front of her.

Bai Yiniang said: The doctor said that it is an old problem, so we must take care of it.

Xie snorted, Is the child awake?

Unfortunately, the child just fell asleep.

Xie Shi looked at Concubine Bai with a half-smile, It's okay, where is the child, I'll go see him.

Concubine Bai lowered her head and bit her lip. She wanted to refuse directly, but she was worried about giving Xie's control.

After hesitating for a moment, Yiniang Bai still said, The child is in the room.

Xie immediately got up and went to the bedroom to visit the twelve brothers.

The twelfth brother really fell asleep, a small child.

When Xie Shi saw it, he frowned, Bai Shi, how did you raise it? The child has been over 100 days old, why hasn't any flesh grown?

My wife misunderstood.

The maid Cui Liu explained for Bai Yiniang,

Brother Twelve has been weak since birth. My aunt, regardless of her postpartum weakness, insists on taking him personally, just to make his body grow more fleshy. My aunt takes care of the child herself during the day and wakes up at night. They all fainted from exhaustion. It can be said that no one cares more about brother than auntie.

Mrs. Xie looked at Concubine Bai, Look at your haggard appearance, it seems that I misunderstood you. But when you toss yourself so much every day, when will you be able to take care of your body and serve the master?

Concubine Bai bowed and said, Thank you, Mrs. for reminding me.

Xie Shi smiled, My brother's body is weak, that's because he is too young. After two years, when my brother grows up a bit, his body and bones will naturally get better. It's like the second girl, who was sick for three days and two ends when she was a child, but it's not the same now. good.

Bai Yiniang said, Second girl just got sick a few days ago.

The doctor said it all, it was stimulated.

Xie shi stretched out his hand and caressed Brother Twelve's cheek.

Aunt Bai watched this scene and was very nervous.

She hurriedly said, Madam, my brother is ill, be careful that you are too sick.

Xie Shi waved his hand, It's okay.

Bai Yiniang rushed up, picked up the twelfth brother, and said nervously, The child can't leave me, I'll hold him first.

Xie Shi looked at Aunt Bai with a half-smile, Are you so nervous, are you worried that this lady will be bad for Brother Twelve?

Bai Yiniang lowered her head, Concubine didn't think so.

Xie Shi sneered, Do you think so, you know best in your heart. But I look at this child, Fu Bo. Bai Shi, you have to use more snacks on the child.

It's not easy for you to give birth to this child safely. Moreover, the doctor said, you can't give birth in the future. So, baby, baby, Twelve Brother, your future is all counting on him.

Concubine Bai lowered her eyebrows and said, Thank you, Mrs. for reminding me.

Xie Shi smiled and got up and left the bedroom.

Bai Yiniang breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and carefully put the twelve brothers back on the bed. Then walked out of the bedroom and dealt with Mr. Xie.

Mrs. Xie looked at the decoration of the Acacia Courtyard, and said meaningfully to Yiniang Bai: Sister Bai, you must not let down the master's wishes for you!

Concubine Bai frowned slightly, but she regained her composure in a blink of an eye, My concubine dare not live up to the master's will, let alone the wife's will.

Mrs Xie smiled, It's so good. You take good care of it, make your child stronger, and Mrs. Ben will come to visit your mother and son another day.

Congratulations to my wife.

Concubine Bai watched Xie leave with the maid and the old lady, and heaved a sigh of relief.

She hurried back to the bedroom to check the twelve brothers.

The twelfth brother is still sleeping, and the medicine prescribed by the doctor is still effective.

Aunt Bai was relieved.

Xie returned to the Furong Courtyard and asked Chunhe, Tomorrow is the day for the dowry in the Hou Mansion. Are the gifts for the makeup ready?

Report to my wife, it's ready. This is a gift list, please take a look at it.

Chun He sent a gift list, Xie opened it and frowned slightly.

Chun He was nervous, Is your wife not satisfied?

Xie shi frowned and said, Is it too expensive?

Chun He hurriedly said: The slaves are prepared according to the rules of the mansion. If the wife thinks that the ceremony is too heavy, the slaves will draw up a new gift list.

No need, just send gifts according to this gift list. You send someone to ask a few girls if they are ready to add makeup to Gu Mei? Don't wait until tomorrow to be embarrassed in Hou's mansion.

The slave will send someone to ask.

In Zhilan Courtyard, Gu Jiu was busy painting.

Qingzhu came in from outside and reported, Girl, sister Dongmei is here.

Gu Jiu stopped painting, Quickly invite Sister Dongmei to come in.

After a while, the maid Dongmei was invited to the study.

Gu Jiu smiled at her and said, Sister Dongmei is a rare visitor, please take a seat.

Qingmei also joked: What kind of wind is blowing today, it actually blows Sister Dongmei over.

Dongmei smiled and said, Tomorrow is the day when the dowry will be done in the Hou's residence. The wife is worried that the girls' makeup gifts for the eldest lady of the Hou's residence are not ready yet, so she specially asked the servants to come and take a look.

Gu Jiu greeted Dongmei to sit down and said, Mrs. Lao is worried, the makeup gift is ready.

Dongmei said, That's good.

Sister Dongmei is drinking tea. Gu Jiu greeted.

Dongmei was surprised and did not expect to come to Zhilan Courtyard, and there would be tea to serve.

She took the teacup with a smile, Second girl, you're very polite.

Gu Jiu smiled and asked, Have you finished the funeral of the Xie family?

Dongmei nodded, It's done.

Gu Jiu asked casually, Has the Yamen caught the murderer of Lord Xie?

Dongmei sighed and shook her head, The yamen said that a thief entered the capital. But so far, the thief has not been seen.

Gu Jiu said, Maybe the thief has already left the capital.

My wife thinks so too, but it's a pity Sir Xie, it's too worthless to die.

Gu Jiu asked, Mrs. Xie passed away, my wife is very sad.

Dongmei felt that the atmosphere of Zhilan Court was very good, comfortable and at ease, so she couldn't help but talk more.

No. My wife has been crying for several nights, and she has to go to Xie's house during the day to help with the management. Everyone is tired and thin.

Gu Jiu said, It's also difficult for the wife. I heard that the Xie family is breaking up.

Dongmei lowered her voice, I'll only tell the second girl this, and the second girl must not say it.

Gu Jiu nodded, promising not to say anything.

Dongmei said: Before the funeral was over, the Xie family broke up. Now that the funeral is over, the Xie family's eldest room and the second room are even more troubled by the separation.

Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Ma, the second girl should still have an impression. She is a noisy master, and Mr. Xie is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The two families can break for a long time for a needle and a bundle of thread, and the wife is caught in the middle, which is very difficult.

Gu Jiu asked curiously, Aren't the two elders of the Xie family not coming to press?

It's useless.

Dongmei said directly, The Xie family's family business was all bought by Master Xie and the two brothers Xie Er.

Mr. Xie wanted to split up the family, but Mr. Ma and Mr. Xie were both unconvinced and unwilling to listen to him.

In the past few days, Xie's family has been in chaos inside and out. That is, the wife is patient and goes through every day.

If the slaves told me, the wife should not be involved in the matter of the Xie family's stall.

Dongmei had obviously held back these words for a long time, and had been trying to find someone to talk about. Today is a chance.

Gu Jiu smiled, After all, it's the wife's family, no matter what.

Dongmei nodded again and again, Second girl is right, after all, it is the wife's family, and the wife can't bear to leave them alone. It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the wife runs at both ends every day. Maybe one day she will be tired.

Gu Jiu said, Sister Dongmei persuaded his wife to take care of her health anyway.

The slaves don't have that ability, so Chunhe has to come forward to persuade his wife, and the wife will listen to a few words.

Gu Jiu put down the teacup, I heard people say that as soon as the wife came back today, she went to visit Aunt Bai.

Dongmei didn't hide it, Yes, the wife went to the Acacia Garden as soon as she came back. It's not because the master went to drink the flower wine... Ah, the slaves should fight and talk nonsense in front of the second girl, please forgive the second girl.

Sister Dongmei doesn't need to do this.

After a pause, Gu Jiu said again: It seems that the mansion will be adding new people.

Dongmei was stunned for a moment, What does the second girl mean?

Gu Jiu smiled softly: I heard that Concubine Bai has gained a lot of weight after giving birth, and is no longer as gentle and charming as she used to be.

Dongmei nodded.

Gu Jiu continued: Master, there must be someone by your side. Aunt Bai can't do it, and Aunt Hu and Aunt Wei can't do it. Do you think it's time to add new people to the mansion?

what?

Dongmei paled in shock, Isn't Mrs....

Dongmei hurriedly covered her mouth and didn't say the rest.

Gu Jiu said softly, It's inevitable that the wife will be angry, but for the people around, this is also an opportunity. I just don't know if everyone can seize this opportunity.

Dongmei's heart was thumping and beating fast.

She was in a turmoil, and the wife would be dissatisfied if the master wanted to accept a new person. At that time, will the wife promote the maid next to her and become a maid for the master, so that it is convenient for the newcomer to fight in the ring?

Dongmei thought about it for a while, and was confused by Gu Jiu's words.

At this time, Gu Jiu said, I said those words nonsense. Sister Dongmei, please don't take it seriously, and don't say it out. If it spreads to the wife's ears, the wife should pick on my fault.

Dongmei came back to her senses, Don't worry, Second Lady, this servant will never tell your wife what you said.

Thank you, Sister Dongmei.

Second girl, you're welcome. The slave girl has to rush back to resume her life, so I'll leave now.

Qingmei, send Sister Dongmei for me.

Qingmei sent Dongmei to the door, and then returned to Gu Jiu.

She asked, Is the lord really going to take a concubine?

Gu Jiu smiled, I just said it casually.

The girl is stubborn, and she can say it casually, and it can become true.

Gu Jiu pinched Xiao Cui's cheek, Learn to be flattering.

Xiaocui giggled.

Qingmei said: The master is taking a concubine, and the wife is making a fuss again. The girl reminded Sister Dongmei of those words. Could it be that the girl wants Sister Dongmei to be the maid of the house for the master?

Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip, It's not that I want Sister Dongmei to be a maid for the master, but the maids in Furong Court, almost all have this idea.

All of them are not too small, but I have never heard of anyone discussing marriage. I reckon that those people are not small.

Taking advantage of the master's concubine and working well, the mansion will be lively again.

What Gu Jiu said to Dongmei was just taking the opportunity to create some trouble for the Xie family and make Xie family unhappy.

It doesn't matter if it works or not, it just happens.

However, it was obvious that Dongmei was moved, and maybe Chunhe's maids would be moved too.

Master Gu had a great time drinking the flower wine, and didn't go back to the mansion until midnight.

Xie shi hadn't fallen asleep, and when he heard that Master Gu was back, he suddenly sat up from the bed.

Chun He hurriedly asked, How about madam?

Mr. Xie gritted his teeth, Is the master drunk? Did you bring anyone back to the manor?

Master is half-drunk and has never brought anyone home. What is Madam worried about?

Mr. Xie didn't say anything, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Call someone to stare at the outer courtyard, and report anything in time.

The slave and maid obey the order. My wife should rest early, and I will go to the Hou's Mansion tomorrow morning. My wife has lost a lot of weight these days.

Are you thin? Mrs Xie touched her cheek.

Chun He nodded heavily.

Xie Shi sighed, I'm just a toiler.

Chun He waited for Xie to fall asleep before returning to the room to rest alone.

She was a little confused. The wife asked the master if he had brought someone back. Chun He had already figured out the meaning.

Madam is worried that the master will take a concubine.

Will the master take a concubine?

Most definitely.

There can be no woman to wait on the master's side.

Chun He bit his lower lip, his mind became a mess, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

It was just dawn, and Gu Fu, who had slept all night, woke up.

The kitchen is the busiest, busy making breakfast and heating hot water to supply the masters of the various courtyards.

Today, the dowry of the Hou Mansion, as a family member, of course, must go early.

Gu Jiu was pulled from the bed by Qingmei.

Get up, girl, or it will be too late.

Gu Jiu was half asleep and half awake, his mind was like a mess.

It wasn't until he washed his face with cold water that his confused mind was awake.

After washing up, putting on makeup, changing clothes, having breakfast, and then rushing to Ermen, took a carriage to the Hou residence.

When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, he found that the servants of the Hou Mansion were all too busy to touch the ground.

Everyone first went to Songhetang to meet the old lady Wei.

The old lady Wei Shi happily said, Just come. Go and call girl Mei.

Gu Mei was invited out, with a shy face and a flushed face.

It is said that the bride is the most beautiful, but Gu Mei is still a day away from becoming a bride, and she is already beautiful enough.

I don't know how beautiful it will be to wear a wedding dress tomorrow.

The dowry was carried out and placed in the flower hall.

There were 160 dowries, and the flower hall could not be placed, and the courtyard was also full.

Seeing so many dowries, and each one was filled to the brim, Xie couldn't help but stunned secretly.

How much does the Hou residence cost to prepare so much dowry for Gu Mei.

Mrs Xie whispered to Mrs Zhang, Let's talk about fifty or sixty thousand taels.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, More than that. I heard that the sister-in-law in the hall privately added 20,000 taels. This dowry is estimated to be at least 80,000 taels.

Xie was shocked.

Hou Mansion is indeed rich and noble.

Mrs. Zhang said, My younger brother and sister misunderstood. It's not that Hou's mansion is rich and noble, but that the concubine's wife is well-managed. In these years, not only has the property of the Hou's mansion doubled, but her own dowry has doubled. You know now. , why Houfu has always been in charge of the hall's wife, and the second and third hall's sisters can't get involved.

Mrs Xie sighed, Sister-in-law in the lobby is really amazing.

Mrs Zhang smiled and said, We'll be able to drink some soup if we follow behind the Hou Mansion.

Xie Shi suddenly moved his mind.

After returning to the capital, she repurchased the farmhouse and shop, but the business was mediocre.

Since the eldest lady and the little Wei family are so good at business, can she take a ride and drink some soup with her.

But this matter is not in a hurry, Gai Minger has the opportunity to talk to the eldest lady and the little Wei Shi again.

Xie went through a series of dowries, whether it was utensils, jewelry, cloth quilts, all of them were good things.

Hou Fu really is willing.

Xie took a fancy to a few pieces of jewelry, thinking that she could prepare one for Gu Yue, and one for Gu Shan.

She had seen three handfuls of soil, representing three farms.

Plus three deeds, representing three shops.

Xie's envy, it's nice to have money.

When Gu Shan gets married, she will also prepare a generous dowry, not 80,000 taels, but at least 40,000 taels.
