www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
In the bookstore, a young scholar was standing in front of the dark red counter, talking to the clerk in the bookstore.
The boy was a little embarrassed and said: "Sir, the boss is not here, and the young man really can't make the decision... How about this, sir, how about you wait here for a while?"
The scholar seemed to be in his twenties. He was wearing a blue shirt that had been washed a little white. He was holding a few books with blue covers in his hands. He approached the boy and said eagerly: "Little brother , Xiaosheng's father was seriously ill, and the family was waiting for money, so they had no choice but to exchange this family heirloom for money."
The clerk hesitated for a moment, then flipped through one of the books, gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, the boss is not here, and I really don't dare to make the decision for five taels of silver. Why don't you give me another two taels of silver?"
The scholar frowned and said: "Little brother, this is an ancient book from the past dynasty, a century-old book, and three taels of silver is too much..."
The scholar's face showed a tangled look. At this moment, Fu Yunyan suddenly said: "Master, is this set of books of yours "Array Discipline"?"
Fu Yunyan walked quickly towards the scholar, his eyes shining.
"Array Discipline" is a set of military books about training and combat. Although it is not as famous as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Taibai Yin Jing" and other ten military books, it is still a very rare set of military books. , because the author of the book was a guerrilla general of the previous dynasty, experienced hundreds of battles, and witnessed the battlefield situation, so the discussion in the book is more practical and reasonable.
The scholar followed the sound, his face lit up with joy, and he said eagerly to Fu Yunyan: "Miss, are you interested in this set of military books?"
Fu Yunyan nodded slightly and said, "Can you let me have a look?"
The scholar handed one of the books to Fu Yunyan, and Fu Yunyan turned a page casually and murmured: "...If the enemy is strong, intercept it; if the enemy is in chaos, confuse it; if the enemy is weak, attack it; if the enemy is suspicious, scare it. , if the enemy relies on it, we will seize it; if the enemy is sparse, we will attack it; if we retreat, the enemy will not know where we are defending; if we advance, the enemy will not know where we are attacking. It is indeed the "Jiu Ji"! And it also has annotations..."
Fu Yunyan flipped through a few more pages, unable to hide the excitement on his face.
The scholar hurriedly explained at the side: "The annotations above were written by the former general He Lianrui, and the military book was also copied by the general himself. It is a century-old ancient book!" After a pause, he continued , "What do you think, girl?"
Fu Yunyan closed the book and thought to himself: This is really an unexpected gain.
She rubbed the cover of the book carefully, and just as she was about to respond, the clerk said with sweating profusely: "Sir, didn't you say you wanted to sell this set of books to our shop?" Once this set of ancient books changes hands, what will happen? But it’s several times the value! As long as the boss gives him a little bit of change, he won't have to worry about food and clothing this year.
The more the boy thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he said again: "Sir, you said five taels, right? I'll go get the silver right now."
Fu Yunyan frowned slightly, feeling that this guy was really unreasonable. He had obviously planned to lower the price before, but when he saw that he was also interested, he started to grab it.
The scholar rolled his eyes, looked at Fu Yunyan eagerly, and asked, "I don't know, girl..." He looked at Fu Yunyan expectantly.
Fu Yunyan blinked, looking a little strange. Is this scholar going to sit down and raise his price? !
At this time, another scholar wearing a straight blue shirt came in. He was slightly surprised when he saw Bai Hui in the bookstore. He paused for a moment before stepping into the bookstore. He was about to step aside. While reading a book, his eyes fell on those "Array Records".
The scholar was Ye Yili's elder brother Ye Yinming. He frowned, but just as he was about to speak, Xiao Fei said: "Liu Niang, can you show me the book?"
Fu Yunyan was stunned, then handed the book in his hand to Xiao Fei: "A Fei, if you like it, how about I buy it for you?"
Xiao Fei smiled silently. As soon as she opened the book, she smelled a familiar scent of books. The ink color on the yellowed paper was much lighter than the new ink. It seemed that she could feel it from the clear handwriting. Judging from the lightness of the author's writing and the speed and pace of the writing, this book is indeed a handwritten book, not a printed one...
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Fei's mouth, but there was a sharp look in her eyes.
Both Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan felt something was wrong and raised their brows slightly.
"Liu Niang, this ancient book is a replica." Xiao Fei said with certainty.
Ye Yinming raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xiao Fei with some surprise, took a step back, and watched with interest.
The scholar's pupils shrank, he raised his voice and said sternly: "Girl, if you don't want to buy this ancient book from Xiaosheng, don't slander me!" He looked filled with righteous indignation and reached out to try to **** the book from Xiao Fei's hand. Books.
Without Fu Yunyan's intervention, Baihui had already pinched the scholar's wrist and said coldly: "How reckless!"
Baihui half-squinted her eyes, and just looking at the scholar like this, she released an aura of calmness and authority.
"Daughter-in-law, let go of the young man!" The scholar shouted forcefully but in a cowardly manner.
The guy looked at the scholar for a while, and then at Nangong Yue and his group. He felt that many passers-by were looking here curiously. He suddenly became nervous and said hurriedly: "You guys have something to say!"
The guy broke into a cold sweat behind his back and thought: Could it be that this ancient book is really fake? If this girl hadn't seen the flaw and kindly pointed it out, when the boss came back and found that she had received forged ancient books, she would have been dead!
Thinking about it, the guy is still a little scared.
Nangong Yue gave Baihui a look, and Baihui let go of the scholar. The scholar rubbed his wrists in pain, not thinking about himself, and shouted: "The student wants to get his book back, why can't he?"
"Because you lied!" Xiao Fei looked at it with cold eyes, opened one of the pages, pointed at the yellowed page and gushed, "Fake ancient books are different from fake calligraphy and paintings, and the identification of calligraphy and painting is more complicated. Some, in comparison, ancient books are much easier to identify. Although you deliberately dyed the paper yellow, lightened the ink, and added rue to make it smell like books..."
"Rutabaga?"
Facing Fu Yunyan's puzzled eyes, Xiao Fei explained: "Rutabaga has no fragrance originally, but once it is dried, it will emit a fragrance. Sandwiching it in books can prevent silverfish from biting the books, and its fragrance is also good. It's called the 'scent of books'. In order to preserve ancient books, rue is usually inserted into the pages. After opening, the fragrance will naturally hit you."
After a pause, Xiao Fei continued to say to the scholar: "Sir, although you have worked hard, you have forgotten one thing. Ancient books turn yellow due to age. Generally, the edges of the pages are darker and the inside of the pages are darker. The color is light, rather than evenly yellowing and darkening the entire sheet."
The pages of this so-called "ancient book" are made of deliberately aged dyed paper, so they are yellow and dark inside and out.
Xiao Fei explained so clearly that even the clerk on the side understood it. She recalled the ancient books she had seen before and nodded frequently. There was a hint of respect in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Fei, and then she looked at the scholar. Just disgust and disdain.
Nangong Yue looked at the scholar's right hand and said: "Look at the callus on your right hand, you should be a scholar, but you have done such a disgraceful thing!"
The scholar was already sweating profusely. He took several steps back and hesitated: "Xiao... Xiaosheng was also deceived by traitors."
If you are deceived, use it to deceive others! Fu Yunyan shook his head and scolded disdainfully: "With such a character, what if he won the Jinshi!"
The clerk nodded angrily: "Girl, what you are saying is that this kind of liar should be sent to prison!"
When the scholar heard that he was sent to the official, his face turned pale with fear and he was sweating. He didn't care about his books and ran away in a hurry.
Fu Yunyan was about to chase, but was stopped by Xiao Fei: "Liu Niang, there is no need to chase."
Fu Yunyan looked at Xiao Fei in astonishment, and saw Xiao Fei lowering her head thoughtfully: "This person should be from Qingmao Academy, right?"
Following Xiao Fei's gaze, Fu Yunyan discovered that the scholar had dropped a cyan handkerchief on the ground. The word "Qingmao" was embroidered on the handkerchief.
Nangong Yue motioned to Baihui to pick up the square handkerchief, and then said: "I will send someone to Qingmao Academy to talk to the mountain chief about this later, and leave the rest to the mountain chief."
The man thanked Nangong Yue and the others profusely: "You two girls, and this madam, it's all thanks to you today, otherwise I would be in big trouble today!"
Fu Yunyan glanced at the waiter with a half-smile but not a smile. He looked a little guilty and said with a smile: "Would you guys like to come into the shop and have a look? It will be cheaper for the younger ones." He lowered his voice and said .
Nangong Yue and the others didn't bother with him. Since they were all here, they simply started browsing in the bookstore.
Witnessing this scene throughout, Ye Yinming was very surprised. He didn't expect that this girl was so knowledgeable at such a young age. When he saw Baihui, he guessed that the young lady should be the imperial concubine. And this girl, together with the imperial concubine, was dressed in luxurious clothes. Looking at her age, could she be the eldest girl from the palace?
Ye Yinming narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but think deeply.
After picking out the books and leaving the bookstore, Nangong Yue learned from Baihui that Ye Yinming was there just now.
Nangong Yue had met Ye Yinming once in the Yellow Crane Tower, but it was only a one-time encounter and she had long forgotten it. Now that she heard Baihui mention it, she had some impression. Ye Yinming was named on the gold medal list in his previous life, so he should be a talented person. However, judging from his younger brother, he was probably not worthy of close friendship, so she ignored him.
At this time, it was getting late, so they got into the carriage and started on their way back.
The carriage returned to Bixiao Hall from the East Street Gate. When Nangong Yue and the others got off the carriage, they saw Que'er waiting at Dongyi Gate.
Que'er hurried up to greet her, knelt down and said: "Prince Concubine, the eldest aunt is here and is now at the eldest princess's place."
Did Mrs. Qiao go to see Grandma Yongyang? Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei and Fu Yunyan couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and had to wonder if Mrs. Qiao had some ulterior motives.
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue said, "since my aunt is here, we as juniors should naturally pay her a visit."
The three of them, led by Que'er, headed towards Yunli Courtyard.
Just after entering the courtyard, I heard Mrs. Qiao's voice coming from the main room: "... Your Highness has been in Luoyue City for almost a month. How do you think our girls from southern Xinjiang compare with the noble ladies from the royal capital? ?" There was a hint of intimacy in her tone, as if she was chatting.
Yongyang said calmly: "Bamboos, orchids, autumn chrysanthemums, each has its own merits."
Mrs. Qiao chuckled a few times and said: "Second Master Fu wants to stay in Southern Xinjiang permanently. Since His Highness thinks our girls in Southern Xinjiang are good, why not choose a granddaughter-in-law in Southern Xinjiang. From now on, Third Master Fu The young master also has a person here who knows the warmth and coldness."
Nangong Yue outside the room blinked and laughed. She probably guessed Mrs. Qiao's intention of coming here, but unfortunately this matter would only make Mrs. Qiao angry.
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue entered the house with Xiao Fei and Fu Yunyan, and saw Mrs. Qiao sitting on an armchair at the bottom. Her attention was focused on Yong Yang, until the maid in the room asked Nangong Yue The three people said hello, and Mrs. Qiao followed the sound and looked over.
After everyone in the room greeted each other one by one, Nangong Yue and the other three sat down on the armchairs opposite Mrs. Qiao, and the maid served them tea neatly.
Although the topic was interrupted, Mrs. Qiao still refused to give up and continued with a smile: "Your Highness, you should consider my proposal carefully. While you are in southern Xinjiang, you can also help Fu San Young master, let’s take a look at each other. It just so happens that in a few days, my sister Lan will hold a flower party. You can also take this opportunity to take a good look at the ladies from various houses. The girls my sister Lan has met are all the best in a hundred. ." Mrs. Qiao had a wishful thinking in her heart. When Yong Yang saw those girls, she would naturally know how her sister Lan stood out from the crowd and stood out!
"Thank you madam for your kindness, but my brother He's parents have the final say in his marriage." Yong Yang declined politely.
Reminiscent of the day Fu Yunyan said that his aunt fell in love with Fu Yunhe, even the simple Xiao Fei felt like a mirror at the moment, and couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Mrs. Qiao's expression froze, and it took a long time before she said dryly: "Your Highness is right."
On the surface, Mrs. Qiao was respectful, but she was a little unwilling in her heart.
Yongyang's words are an excuse at first sight. Yongyang is Fu Yunhe's biological grandmother and a high-ranking eldest princess. If she arranges a marriage for her grandson, do Fu Yunhe's parents still dare to object? !
The word "filial piety" is enough!
If it had been anyone else, Mrs. Qiao would probably have turned against her and accused him of being shameless. However, she was facing the superior eldest princess, so she could only swallow her breath.
The days are long, so there may not be no opportunities!
Anyway, her younger brother also said that Fu Yunhe would live in southern Xinjiang forever, but she didn't believe it. Based on the appearance of her sister Lan, would Mr. Fu not like it? !
Once the young couple is in love and is inseparable, he will go and talk to his brother, and then he will make the decision. The marriage is not always possible. Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao's mind was settled, and she hoped that Yongyang would go back soon...
Mrs. Qiao lowered her eyes, a glint flashed in her eyes, and continued talking to Yong Yang in a somewhat flattering manner, "You have been in Southern Xinjiang for a while, are you going back to the capital soon? Can you buy it? Are there any specialties? We have a lot of good things in southern Xinjiang..."
While speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then the maids were heard saluting: "Greetings to Third Young Master Fu."
Everyone in the room looked over subconsciously, and saw a young man with a baby face wearing a green lotus-colored Huhang brocade robe striding into the room, holding a mahogany box in his hand, and said with a smile : "Grandma..."
He naturally noticed the only stranger in the room, and his eyes fell on Mrs. Qiao.
A flash of schadenfreude flashed in Fu Yunyan's eyes, and he said deliberately: "Third brother, this is Mrs. Qiao, the prince's eldest sister. Why don't you come over and salute Mrs. Qiao!"
Mrs. Qiao? ! Fu Yunhe couldn't help but think of the pair of embroidered shoes behind the screen in the study room when he went to visit the King of Zhennan two days ago, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Is it really like what my sister said that day, that Mrs. Qiao has fallen in love with him, no, she has fallen in love with him as her son-in-law? !
Fu Yunhe was afraid to avoid her, but with his usual bright smile on his face, he bowed to Mrs. Qiao and saluted: "I have met Mrs. Qiao."
When Mrs. Qiao saw Fu Yunhe again, she liked him even more. With a friendly and familiar smile on her face, she hurriedly said: "Brother He, there is no need to be polite."
"Third brother," Fu Yunyan looked at the mahogany box in Fu Yunhe's hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Fu Yunhe was distracted by Mrs. Qiao, and then he remembered the box in his hand, opened it, and said: "I went out today and happened to see a pair of blue and white jade peach-shaped brush washers in a shop, look! ”
He took out one of the brush washers and showed it to Fu Yunyan. I saw that the jade brush washer was like half a peach, carved into a vivid and exquisite shape, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Fu Yunyan blurted out in surprise: "Third brother, this carving is really exquisite."
Fu Yunhe smiled proudly, gave the box to Fu Yunyan, and said, "Liu Niang, one for you and sister Fei."
Fu Yunyan accepted it unceremoniously. Xiao Fei stood up and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Third Brother Fu."
"Sister Fei, you are too polite." Fu Yunhe looked at Xiao Fei with a smile. For him, his eldest brother's sister was naturally his sister.
Mrs. Qiao's face became a little ugly. She looked at Fu Yunhe and Xiao Fei with gloomy eyes, and her heart suddenly sank.
Can it be said——
Did Yong Yang and Fu Yunhe take a fancy to Xiao Fei? !
Mrs. Qiao stared at Xiao Fei with squinted eyes. She really didn’t know where Yong Yang and Fu Yunhe’s eyes were! In terms of looks and knowledge, how can Xiao Fei compare to her sister Lan? ! Moreover, Xiao Fei's mother, Xiao Fang, even had her title of princess revoked by the emperor. With a mother like this, how can her daughter be better off? !
Thinking about it, a trace of disdain flashed in Mrs. Qiao's eyes.
Yongyang saw Fu Yunyan and Xiao Fei playing with the brush wash with great interest, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Brother He, Liu Niang, Yue'er, and Sister Fei, how about you?" Let the kids go out and play by themselves, you don’t have to stay here with us old people."
Fu Yunhe and his sister were not polite to Yong Yang either. They took Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei with them, and the four young people left happily.
Leaving now? She hasn't said a few words to him yet... Mrs. Qiao moved her mouth, feeling secretly annoyed. She wanted to call Fu Yunhe, but she had no suitable excuse, so she could only watch the four of them drift away.
Mrs. Qiao twisted the veil fiercely, and she became more and more sure of her guess: Sure enough, Yongyang must have taken a fancy to Xiao Fei as his granddaughter-in-law, so she made excuses to excuse herself!
The more Mrs. Qiao thought about it, the more displeased she became. She absent-mindedly exchanged a few words with Yong Yang, and then excused herself.
After leaving Yunliyuan, Mrs. Qiao did not go back to Qiao's house, but went to Xiao Fei's Yuebi Residence.
The little maid in the yard reported Xiao Fei's absence with sincerity and fear. Of course Mrs. Qiao knew it well and ordered the little maid to take her to the main room. Then she said: "You go and give me the eldest girl. Find it!"
Her tone of voice sounded like someone who came was not kind and someone who was kind would never come.
How could these little maids dare to say no? They hurriedly went to invite Xiao Fei.
After burning the incense, Xiao Fei walked into the hall. At this time, Mrs. Qiao had already drank two cups of hot tea. When she saw Xiao Fei's calm look, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. .
Xiao Fei didn't know what Mrs. Qiao was angry about, but she still saluted respectfully: "I wonder what orders my aunt had when she asked me to come here?"
Mrs. Qiao took a deep breath, calmed down a little, motioned Xiao Fei to sit down, and then sighed: "Sister Fei, I usually stay in Li County, and I don't have the chance to talk to you about my feelings. My own words."
Xiao Fei agreed: "My aunt serves her parents-in-law in Li County and respects her elders. This is the duty of a daughter-in-law."
Listening to Xiao Fei's tone of voice, she was very proud of herself. Mrs. Qiao showed a trace of complacency on her face. She felt that this was also a good start and continued: "Sister Fei, you and your cousin Lan are the same age, and you are also ten years old this year." Are you four years old? You are not children anymore. It’s time to learn more rules. We women are no better than men. Our reputation is the foundation of our lives. We should pay attention to our words and deeds in daily life, and we must not do anything that will disgrace our family and our reputation. It's a matter of course. Once the white jade has flaws, it will be too late to regret it." She looked like she was teaching you earnestly.
Xiao Fei nodded and said: "What aunt said is that a woman's reputation is the most important. Aunt, you must talk to Cousin Lan after you go back. Don't rush for quick success for the sake of reputation. Otherwise, it will Self-defeating."
What Xiao Fei was talking about was that on the day of Nangong Yue's wedding ceremony, Qiao Ruolan had to donate money to apply medicine in order to show her kindness.
Mrs. Qiao also understood, and her face turned blue and white with anger. She was Xiao Fei's aunt and an elder, and Xiao Fei dared to pretend to be stupid in front of her!
