The Return of the Noble Abandoned Consort

Chapter 178: Hiring from door to door, Xiaobai blows his hair (second watch)

Views:

Mother Rong didn't know how she got back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Along the way, that delicate little face kept flashing in her mind. Originally, she was ordered by the old lady to come to check the truth, to see if the child was really the young master's flesh and blood. She only took one look, and she was sure that it belonged to the young master.

This was really shocking, the young master brought out a child without making a sound, no, it was two.

Although she couldn't see the little girl's face clearly, she still thought it was extremely cute just looking at the chubby body.

The little great-grandson that the old lady had been looking forward to for several years turned out to be born early. I am really happy for the old lady.

"What? Is it a child of meditation?" In Luomei courtyard, Mrs. Ji couldn't wait to ask Mama Rong who couldn't even catch her breath.

Rong's mother stroked her heart, and said excitedly, "It belongs to the young master! That nose and those eyes are exactly the same as the young master's when he was a child!"

Mrs. Ji's eye sockets became wet all of a sudden.

Rong's mother hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, be careful you have another stroke!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Mrs. Ji tried her best to calm her excitement, "Do you look good?"

Rong's mother gestured and said: "The little miss is chubby, and the young master is thinner."

Mrs. Ji hurriedly said: "Mingxiu was also thin when he was young!"

Rong's mother smiled and said: "Yes, when I look at it like that, it's like seeing the young master when I was a child!"

"Oh, why didn't you bring the child back for me to see?" Mrs. Ji was a little impatient.

Rong's mother said: "How dare I do this? Without you and the young master's orders, I would not dare to touch other people's children. Besides, the young master and the young lady don't know about it yet, so don't be scared."

"Yes, you can't be scared." Mrs. Ji couldn't help laughing, and frowned slightly when she thought of something, "Ms. Qiao really gave birth to a child of meditation, then it will be difficult..."

Rong's mother knew what the old lady wanted to say, and gently persuaded: "Old lady, do you still remember Princess Zhaoming?"

How can you not remember? That's her eldest daughter-in-law, a girl as beautiful as a flower, but it's a pity that Fanghua died young. Before her death, Mingxiu was still a little monkey. Once she left, Mingxiu seemed to be a different person. Not very close to people.

Rong's mother said earnestly: "Don't you think that the current situation is surprisingly similar to that of the past? Back then, the Ji family did not agree with the marriage between the master and the princess, so the master took the princess and lived outside until the young master and Miss Wan were six years old. The young master followed his father's temperament, if you dare to oppose the Qiao family like the old master opposed the princess back then, the young master may follow the example of the master and never go back to Ji's house."

Mrs. Ji said angrily: "He didn't like to go back in the first place!"

Rong's mother said: "It's because you don't like to go back, that's why you want to marry Mrs. Qiao. Does he want his wife and children? They live here, can he not go back? You just married a granddaughter-in-law. Two precious great-grandchildren, one precious golden grandson, why not do it? I have thought about it along the way, the rumors will pass one day, and I can’t just turn away the mother-in-law of the two children just because of this. Isn't it? Besides, this marriage is bestowed by the queen, we can't disobey the order."

Mrs. Ji's attitude softened: "When he doesn't want to get married, I don't pick at all. As long as he is willing to marry, I will accept even a poor girl from a concubine. Now that he is willing, I will start to pick this again. Then, you're right, I really shouldn't."

The old lady said it shouldn't be, but her face didn't relax much.

Mother Rong leaned close to Mrs. Ji's ear and whispered a few words, Mrs. Ji was startled: "Really?"

Mama Rong nodded.

Mrs. Ji sighed: "Since that's the case, this marriage must be done. You can go to Tongyuan and tell Shang Qing that I agree to this marriage."

On the second day after Rong's mother left, Qiao Wei took preserved eggs to Boss Rong.

Rongji's business is still booming, the lobby is full, half of them are from the town, and half are from the capital.

After the lobster season, the food stalls started the barbecue business again.

People in the town have never eaten barbecue, but most of them are grilled meat and fish. Rongji has more tricks, such as grilled eggplant, grilled leeks, grilled peppers, grilled mushrooms, grilled chicken feet, grilled squid, and grilled chicken. brittle bones...

I don't know how the chicken feet are made, they are as tender as water, and they go into the mouth as soon as they are sucked.

Thin slices of squid and squid tendrils are soft and delicious, spicy and chewy, and then wrapped in a moderately salty and sweet sauce, the indescribable delicacy cannot be tasted even in Beijing.

Colleagues tried to imitate, but they could imitate Rong Kee's dishes, but they couldn't imitate Qiao Wei's unique sauce, which was a pity.

There is no business in food stalls during the day, and they all sit in restaurants to eat.

As soon as Qiao Wei entered the lobby, a smell of sauce wafted into her nostrils, her stomach growled, and then she remembered that she had been busy all morning and hadn't eaten breakfast.

Xiao Liu greeted her with a smile: "Sister Qiao!"

Qiao Wei stuffed the jar into his arms: "Business is getting better and better."

Xiao Liu said with a smile, "Isn't that thanks to sister Tuo Qiao?"

Qiao Wei sighed: "I don't know how long this blessing can last."

"Sister Qiao, what did you say?" Xiao Liu didn't hear clearly.

Qiao Wei smiled: "It's nothing, by the way, is Boss Rong there? I'll talk to him about something."

Xiao Liu said: "You better not go, that person came again last time!"

"Who is it?" Qiao Wei asked.

Xiao Liu said in a low voice: "The one who is particularly generous, after eating your food, I don't believe it was made by Master He and Master Hai. If it is a female master, it must be Yue Lai looking for a babysitter to dig it out. your!"

No wonder Xiao Liu thinks this way, Yue Lai restaurant is really despicable, not to mention buying off master Huang to steal their recipes, and then quietly bribed several masters afterwards, even Xiao Liu, a waiter, was also bribed. But everyone remembered Qiao Wei's methods and did not dare to betray Rong Ji.

If one plan fails, another will happen, there is no guarantee that this rich man is not a trap for Yue Lai.

Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows and went back to her account room.

After dealing with the master, Boss Rong knew that Qiao Wei was coming when he saw the pot on the cabinet, went upstairs and pushed open the door of Qiao Wei's room, and said with a smile, "Oh, what wind brought the second boss here? "

Qiao Wei took a sip of tea: "Dongfeng."

Boss Rong squinted his eyes: "Look at the red-faced Second Master, there is a happy event."

Qiao Wei glared at him: "Where is it?"

He just looked at the child, but didn't say that he would marry her.

Boss Rong laughed a few times, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table: "I have a happy event."

Qiao Wei's eyes fell on his round belly: "Pregnant?"

Boss Rong got a melon seed stuck in his throat!

After swallowing the melon seeds, he said again: "I bought your second aunt's Zhuangzi."

Qiao Weiyun smiled lightly: "Yo, is she willing to sell it?"

Boss Rong said wantonly: "Can you not sell it? I said you don't even go to the capital to inquire about news?"

Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "Why should I inquire about her?" That black-hearted woman, what does it matter to her if she starves to death

Boss Rong sighed regretfully (disaster) than disaster (disaster) and regretted (disaster): "Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai

This started with Qiao Zheng sending Qiao Yueshan to the prison in Jingzhao Mansion.

That day, Qiao Yueshan and the other elders were all imprisoned. The elders could not withstand the "coaxing" and escaped from prison, but Qiao Yueshan held back, thus he escaped Jing Zhaoyin's wrath.

In addition, Jing Zhaoyin discovered during the trial of the case that he did not use Shen’s dowry money, but Shen’s prescriptions and medicinal materials, but these things are used to save lives and heal the wounded. The emperor is the biggest beneficiary. It's not good for Jing Zhaoyin to hold on to this. Therefore, Qiao Yueshan was acquitted and returned to Tai Hospital successfully.

It's just a pity that in the process of treating the imperial concubine, Qiao Yueshan prescribed the wrong medicine, which made the imperial concubine suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. Nutmeg for diarrhea was written as rhubarb for ventilation. The imperial concubine with golden branches and jade leaves had a weak constitution and almost gave up half her life.

Therefore, people are unlucky and drink water will be stuffed between their teeth.

Who would have expected that the miracle doctor who brought the second prince of the Xiongnu back from the Palace of Hades would not be able to cure even a small diarrhea

Of course, the emperor Longyan was furious, and he reprimanded Qiao Yueshan severely, removed his post as a court envoy, and demoted him to the last rank of imperial physician.

Imperial physicians are somewhat similar to modern interns, most of them are apprentices of imperial physicians. It is a bit shameful for someone like Qiao Yueshan to be an envoy and then be demoted back to be an imperial physician.

By doing this, the emperor somehow made up for the Qiao family's eldest son.

Of course, the emperor was not guilty of not asking about Qiao Wei's expulsion from the house.

As the emperor of a country, he was very busy with official duties, and he couldn't worry about the state affairs, so he naturally didn't have the time to interfere with other people's family background. Back then, the Shen family cured the empress and the prince, the emperor was naturally grateful, but saving lives and healing the wounded is a doctor's bounden duty, the emperor gave the consultation fee and rewards, and let the empress decide to match Qiao's family with a family that could fight for eight lifetimes. The emperor didn't owe the Qiao family anything for a marriage that couldn't be fought for, and naturally he wouldn't bother with the internal grievances of the Qiao family.

Especially when he knew that the woman who climbed into his son's bed was Ji Mingxiu's fiancée, he didn't want to interfere with the Qiao family's disposal.

But recently the truth surfaced, it was his son who wronged him, and he felt a little sorry in his heart.

He felt sorry, but couldn't bear to admit that he was in a dilemma, Qiao Yueshan bumped into the muzzle of his gun all of a sudden, wouldn't it be bad luck

Qiao Yueshan couldn't bear the humiliation, so he resigned from his position as an imperial physician, and now he is at home.

Xu had no other choice, so he found Boss Rong and sold Zhuangzi.

Boss Rong is not a good person. I begged you not to sell it at the time, but now I know I beg me. Sorry, the original price is impossible.

So, a Zhuangzi worth nearly two thousand taels was cut down to five hundred taels by Qiao Wei, and then he was cut down to four hundred taels by Boss Rong.

"How?" Boss Rong winked at Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei nodded in satisfaction: "Brother Rong is mighty!"

Being praised, Boss Rong was elated: "When will the factory be built?"

Qiao Wei said: "It can be built now! I will look for Master Zheng later, see if he is free, and go to Zhuangzi with you."

Boss Rong's face darkened: "Why did you go with me? It's not just that I pay the money, the rest is your business?"

"Are you going or not?"

"go."

Qiao Wei became the hands-off shopkeeper and returned to the village in a good mood.

When she walked into the village entrance, she saw villagers gathering in twos and threes, looking up the mountain.

Qiao Wei blinked strangely, and asked Shuan Zi's father beside him, "What happened to my family?"

Shuanzi's father said in surprise: "Little Qiao, you are back, hurry up and have a look, there are many people at your house! You have carried a lot of things!"

Qiao Wei frowned suspiciously, it couldn't be... not so fast, right

Qiao Wei quickened her pace and went up the mountain. She heard Rong's mother talking and laughing with Qiao Zheng from afar, and secretly felt an ominous feeling in her heart. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the full gift box, and she was instantly speechless.

Qiao Zheng saw his daughter, and waved to her with a smile: "Xiaowei, come here quickly, and meet Mrs. Shizi!"

Mrs. Shizi

Qiao Wei took a look at the sound, and she really saw Ji Wan in the room in a fancy dress.

Ji Wan glanced at Qiao Wei indifferently, her attitude was very arrogant.

Rong's mother stood up politely, and gave her a blessing: "Miss Qiao."

The attitude is completely different from yesterday!

Qiao Wei's heart was throbbing, she was finally sold by her own father, this feeling is really beeping!

Qiao Zheng smiled all over his face: "You child, why are you so stupid? Call someone!"

Qiao Wei greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Shizi, Mama Rong."

Ji Wan patted the chair beside her with a smile, Qiao Wei stepped forward and sat down.

Qiao Zheng said to Rong's mother again, "Where did you just talk?"

Rong's mother hurriedly said: "Speaking of Nazheng."

There are six ceremonies in total for the recruitment from the Great Liang Dynasty: Na Cai, Ask for Name, Na Ji, Na Zheng, Request Date, and Personal Welcome.

Na Cai is the first of the six ceremonies. The man invites a matchmaker to the woman's home to propose marriage. After the woman's family agrees, the second ceremony begins-asking the name, which is commonly known as He Geng Tie.

After asking the woman's name and the horoscope of the date of birth, the divination is carried out in the ancestral temple. If the divination is auspicious, they will prepare a gift and come to the door to inform the woman's family to conclude an marriage. This is the third ceremony - Najib.

Because the marriage between Qiao Wei and Ji Mingxiu was established when the former queen was alive, the names and horoscopes of both parties had already been written in the marriage letter, so they skipped the two ceremonies of acceptance and name asking, and went directly to the door to accept auspiciousness.

Najib is followed by Nazheng, which is commonly known as the next bride price.

These two ceremonies are usually connected together, but the rush of their marriage separated Najib and Nazheng.

Today is Najib.

Qiao Wei has never seen other people's Najib, so she doesn't know how much gift Najib should give, but if it wasn't for Rong's mother who came to the house ten days later to ask for it, she would almost think that this house is the betrothal gift.

Ji Wan snorted: "Excellent!"

Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "Sister Wan is right, I am quite promising, otherwise how could I have hooked your brother?"

Ji Wan rolled her eyes at her, and snorted, "I agreed to this marriage because I didn't want to disobey the late queen's edict. Don't push your nose and think how much I like you."

Qiao Wei snorted: "I'm not married to you, so what does it matter if you like me or not?"

The corner of Ji Wan's mouth twitched, brat!

Rong's mother and Qiao Zheng had a very happy chat. Qiao Zheng's appearance and temperament are basically at the level of a male god in the eyes of this generation. Even Aunt Luo had to blush for a while when she saw Qiao Zheng. Needless to say, talking with Qiao Zheng was like going to heaven and earth.

Ji Wan and Qiao Wei were successfully left alone.

Qiao Wei grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and knocked them leisurely.

Ji Wan picked up the teacup she didn't want to bring, and gently flipped the tea leaves with the lid of the cup. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a small black figure. When she turned her head, she saw a little monkey sitting on the chair on the left at some time. !

The little monkey wears a small flower on its head and sits upright like a noble lady, with a hand gesture that looks like it is holding a cup of tea and is still flicking it gently with the lid of the cup.

This pose... looks familiar.

Ji Wan moved the lid of the cup.

The little monkey also moved the "cup lid". Of course, it didn't have anything in its hand, it just looked at the gestures, as if it was doing this.

Ji Wan didn't move, and neither did the little monkey.

Ji Wan collected herself and lifted the lid of the cup, and the little monkey also lifted the lid of the cup that didn't exist.

Ji Wan put the lid on the teacup, and the little monkey covered it too.

Ji Wan raised her hand and stroked the bead flower on her head.

The little monkey raised his orchid finger and stroked the little flower on his head.

Does she have orchid fingers

Ji Wan put down her hand and took a look, it was really an orchid finger!

Ji Wan pinched the handkerchief to wipe off the water stains on the corners of her lips, but found that the handkerchief in her hand disappeared at some point!

Look at the little monkey, holding a piece of ice silk handkerchief, elegantly wiping the corners of his lips.

That's her veil!

She turned sharply to the left and glared at the little stinky monkey!

The little monkey also turned fiercely to his left side, glaring at... Xiaobai who just happened to sneak back into the house from here.

The little white sable's hair blew up, thinking that he had been found out, looked at Qiao Wei at the side, and pitifully handed over the snake in the small back basket.
