[169] The battle in the house does not stop anywhere
The House of Pingjin Marquis should not be underestimated. In addition, Pingjin Marquis was appointed by Emperor Xuanren as the new commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang. His status was naturally elevated, and more people paid attention to him.
Young Master, at this time, when the news came out that Hua Baichen had broken off his engagement, many people were naturally surprised. However, before they had even discussed the matter for a long time, the ex-fiancée who had been broken off from their engagement had become a adopted sister?!
Who can tell them what kind of divine development this is?
However, because of this, the reason why the two broke off their engagement was ignored.
Correspondingly, there are also people who don't care about Hua Baichen and Wen Renying breaking off their engagement, or whether Mrs. Pingjinhou adopts an adopted daughter, but Hua Baichen is no longer engaged, and the value of Pingjinhou Mansion is so high.
Seizing the time to get involved is simply a pity for oneself. For those who are determined to win over the Pingjin Marquis Mansion, this is simply a godsend for them.
Of course, if you know the reason for breaking off the engagement, you can't say anything to Li Ruoshui: Well done! If there is anything that breaks up people's marriage in the future, just let her go. Anyway, it starts from King Cheng and Ming Zeyue.
She seems very professional.
Not utilizing it properly is simply a huge waste of talent.
The day that Mrs. Pingjin Hou asked for calculation was on the sixth day of May, the day after the Dragon Boat Festival.
During this period, Xiaocao went to Wanbao Tower for an appointment, and was accompanied by not only Wen Renying but also Han.
After entering the Wanbao Building, I found that there seemed to be a lot more people than when I came back last time, and most of them I didn't recognize yet. However, I could tell from their clothes that these people were of high origin.
Xiaocao didn't feel anything, but Han had some thoughts in his heart. After all, in the entire imperial city, there were not many people who could squander money at will and buy all kinds of jewelry. They were not rich.
There are not many people, but they have money and status, and they don’t have much money that they can use casually.
It is necessary for big merchants to have money, but they cannot use some things. For the sake of style, Wanbaolou will not sell the best things to them. There are many wealthy people among the rich, but their money has other uses.
Yes, it can't be used casually by women.
For the latter, jewelry is indispensable, but it is also certain. Especially for some people, Wanbaolou's best things will be sold (given) to them at "friendly prices" and with high-quality service, door-to-door delivery.
If so, there is no need to step into this Wanbao Tower.
Looking at the people who kept the girl dressed, they were basically maids, and the others were basically older women with younger married women. Han knew it well.
No, as soon as I entered the door, someone I knew but was not actually familiar with came up to say hello warmly. Without knowing it, I thought the relationship between the two families was so good. And then, between these women, children are always the subject.
Well, compliments to Xiaocao and kind words are free of charge, but compared to Mrs. Pingjinhou, this level is more than one level lower. Xiaocao has long been immune to it.
The Han family is neither salty nor cool, and can deal with these people quite easily.
It's just that when it comes to Wen Renying, it's a bit subtle. The engagement has just been broken off. It's a normal thing. Before going out, I have already considered this possibility. If Wen Renying is really fifteen or sixteen years old, at least in
She has been shy about going out recently, but unfortunately she is not, so this incident really has little impact on her, and she doesn't care what others think or say.
The sound of footsteps never stopped. "Sister Xuan..."
"Mu Yao..." Xiao Cao turned her head and looked over. Zhen Mu Yao was in front, Jian Shu Xiao Tai was behind. Looking at it, he seemed to be the only man. Xiao Cao laughed, "You came out to look at jewelry too.
What a coincidence.——Master Jian."
Jian Shu nodded slightly and said, "Hello, madam, hello, two girls." His cheeks were a little red, because he was a little shy when facing other women.
Zhen Muchao also greeted Han, who nodded. Zhen Muchao reached out and touched Wen Renying's head, "Xiao Ying'er."
Wen Renying smiled and called "Sister Muyao".
Zhen Muchao turned around and pulled Xiaocao again, "What jewelry are you looking at? I came here just to join in the fun." Zhen Muchao was not polite at all.
"Huh?" Xiaocao wondered, what is there to do here?
What Xiaocao didn't notice was that many of the people around him had a bit of discomfort on their faces.
Zhen Muyao wants to say that Sister Xuan is absolutely smart, but she seems to be very slow about many things. But she doesn't care. Some people just want to seek medical treatment, just like Concubine Kou.
, you should have an attitude, it’s boring to think of “free rides”, isn’t it?
A maid came down from upstairs, stood in front of Xiaocao and the others with a smile, and said, "Fourth Miss Wenren, our concubine is already waiting on the third floor. Miss, look..."
"Then let's go up and have a look first." Normally, Xiaocao would choose the former unconditionally between patients and jewelry.
"I'll go up and have a look too." Zhen Muyao said with a smile.
Xiaocao looked at Zhen Muyao and Jian Shu in confusion. You are wearing a little tail. Isn't it inappropriate to treat a woman?
"Yaoyao, I'm going to have a cup of tea at the teahouse opposite." Jian Shu said in a very polite manner.
"Okay, let's go to Fengtai Restaurant for dinner later. The food there is pretty good." Then he glanced at Han.
Han said with a smile, "Let's go, the dishes at Fengtai Restaurant are really good, just think of it as a change of taste."
The matter was settled in this way. After going upstairs, Mrs. Han stayed on the second floor, where the shopkeeper was waiting for her. You know, Ms. Han was definitely a big customer. Wen Renying, who was not yet married, followed her. However,
Watching Zhen Muyao and Xiaocao leading each other to the third floor, he looked thoughtful, then moved closer to Han and lowered his voice, "Mom, is there anyone else on the third floor besides Concubine Kou?"
"Most likely." Han responded lightly, even if the shopkeeper was nearby, she didn't have any scruples.
Wen Renying already knew that the extra person who could make Sister Muyao offer to accompany her was probably not a woman. The only person who could make a man stay when Concubine Kou was seeing a doctor was other than King Heng.
.
This realization made Wen Renying feel a little unhappy. She thought her mother was the same. If sister Mu Yao hadn't come in advance, it wouldn't be... and it wouldn't be the case that if sister Mu Yao wasn't here, her mother would have followed.
In fact, it was not what Wenren Ying expected, but not only King Heng was there, but Princess Heng was also there.
Xiaocao didn't react at all. It was normal to have family members accompany her when seeing a doctor. It was just the husband and his wife accompanying the "legal mistress". Everyone was harmonious, so there was nothing she couldn't accept. The meeting was well behaved and polite.
King Heng just said "no courtesy", and then Zhen Muchao smiled and said, "I just happened to come over today to have a look, and I bumped into Sister Xuan. I haven't seen her in some days, so I'm being honest.
Your Majesty, I think you won’t mind if you come up and have a cup of tea, right?”
"What my cousin said, you can take away whatever you like in this Wanbao Tower, not to mention a cup of tea." King Heng smiled warmly, looking like a humble gentleman, and the aura of a superior person was obvious.
put.
Qi Chao's aesthetics are not beyond Xiaocao's understanding, so the beauty in her eyes is the same as everyone else's. This royal family, no matter what it was like in the beginning, has been genetically improved by various beauties from generation to generation. At least,
It is difficult to find a good person in the emperor's branch. King Duan is one of the best, and King Heng is on par with him.
Tsk, Xiaocao is already immune to all kinds of "beautiful colors".
But what King Heng said...
Zhen Muyao's face remained unchanged, but in his heart he cursed King Heng: Who the hell is your cousin? You want to find your cousin to go to Ming's house.
Although it is said that those born from the same father, the wife's mother's family are serious relatives, and there is nothing wrong with the cousins, but this does not apply only to the emperor. His children are not common relatives.
Instead of having a family, each of them has his or her own maternal family. Not to mention a family relationship, these "maternal family members" are basically enemies. They want to trample everyone else under their feet so that only I can dominate.
However, the Zhen family is the queen's mother's family. From the perspective of etiquette and law, it is indeed regarded as the maternal family of other princes and princesses. If someone shamelessly insists on getting married, you have no choice but to do so, especially if Prince Heng is so thick-skinned, he is quite
The natural and casual person.
After all, King Heng is the most powerful one. Zhen Muchao could directly fight back, but others would not be so shameless.
Zhen Muyao cannot be rude to others, but she can also ignore them. She is used to being proud and casual. Even after getting married, she has not changed. Anyone who can force her to change now will not do that, and she can't stand her.
People can't do anything to her.
"The prince is joking." Zhen Muyao moved his eyes, "Business matters are more important. Let's show Sister Xuan to Concubine Kou first. You must know that Concubine Kou has worked very hard for Prince Heng's Mansion. If she doesn't have a child by her side, it's inevitable
Sadly not."
Princess Heng still had a faint smile, occasionally picking up the tea cup and taking a sip. She was noble and dignified, but there was a weak emotion in her eyes. Even if she could run against Kou's concubine in the name of the head wife, overtly or covertly, but that was all.
Well, Concubine Kou is King Heng’s money bag, and money is a good thing, especially for people who need a lot of money. He will be kind to anyone who can bring him money in an honest way. Plus Concubine Kou
The color is nice and the temperament is quite different. King Heng really likes it.
In other families, let alone the side concubine, even the main concubine cannot go out casually, but the Kou side concubine can.
Even though Princess Heng didn't seem to take Concubine Kou seriously on the surface, she was also very calm in front of her sister-in-law. She said it was a good thing that Concubine Kou could help their prince. If she really didn't mind at all, then that was
impossible.
Princess Heng was able to compete with Kou Danping on the same level only because of her background and the title of head wife. She also knew that her position was easily and unshakable. However, Kou Danping was still a huge threat to her. The only thing she was stronger than Kou Danping was probably
She gave birth to a son and a daughter. Kou was chosen by her husband as a concubine just because of her low birth. At that moment, Princess Heng knew that this woman would definitely not be simple. Therefore, before Kou Danping entered the family, she
She did some research, but at that time, she didn't find anything too important. However, it didn't mean that she couldn't do something. Kou Danping had uterine cold syndrome, and she didn't mind making it more serious.
In fact, the threat that Kou Danping showed later made Princess Heng very happy for her actions. She had no children, so what if she accumulated more wealth? In the end, it would not all belong to her children.
Princess Heng was almost certain that Kou Danping would not be able to give birth, but she was not so sure about the medical skills of the person who could write that gynecological manual. Looking at Prince Heng's attitude, it was obvious that she also hoped that Kou Danping could have a child.
. If I see something more...
As Princess Heng, it is natural for her to pay attention to Prince Heng's heirs, and it is understandable that Princess Heng wants to come together.
Regarding this point, Concubine Kou was actually quite annoyed. Not to mention that this was a very private matter, and naturally she didn't want the "enemy" to know about her situation, let alone the fact that she had no children.
Princess Heng, she was just doubtful. She had seen many doctors, but the results were all symptoms of uterine cold syndrome. Judging from her memory, it should be an original problem with her body.
Before Xiaocao diagnosed Concubine Kou's pulse, Concubine Kou smiled and said, "My lord, look, are you the one who moves, or is it me who takes Miss Wenren Wenren to the inner room? Miss Wenren is still the girl's family after all.
Isn’t it difficult to say some of these things in front of the prince?”
King Heng nodded, "That's the truth. Okay, I'll go sit in the tea room." After saying that, he stood up and left.
Concubine Kou glanced at Princess Heng and said, "Don't go and serve her yet."
Princess Heng acted as if she hadn't seen her, and smiled and said to Xiaocao, "Sister Kou is very worried about the prince's palace. I also hope that she can give birth to an heir for the prince as soon as possible. I will bother Miss Wenren this time.
If I can make Sister Kou pregnant, the entire Prince Heng Palace will be grateful that it is a girl."
Even if Xiaocao is very nervous, it is impossible to take Princess Heng's words seriously. In an ordinary back house, the mistress and the concubine are enemies, let alone the prince's backyard. The prince is fighting for the throne, and the prince's woman will naturally have her early.
Planning, their sons may also compete for the throne in the future. Those who are ambitious want to kill other people's children. Even if they are not ambitious, for the sake of safety, it is better for others not to live. Concubine Kou is really going to be pregnant.
Well, Princess Heng probably wasn't grateful to her, but hated her to death.
But these are not within Xiaocao's consideration, she just needs to do her job well.
Princess Heng made it clear that she would not leave, so Xiaocao immediately took Concubine Kou's pulse and asked various questions. This woman has always been thin-skinned when it comes to privacy issues, so Xiaocao asked simply and straightforwardly.
She was a little uncomfortable being so thick-skinned. Princess Heng was in her early twenties, so she wasn't much better.
In comparison, Concubine Kou was quite calm. She answered whatever she asked and didn't hide anything.
There are benefits to being open-minded. Right now, it saves Xiaocao trouble. It saves trouble, but Xiaocao's mood is not so wonderful. It's strange that she can get pregnant after being drugged. However, compared to Green
