It turned out that Jia Lian was convinced face to face by Chen Zhao that time. Although he believed a little bit, he was still doubtful. So while he was outside, he quietly looked for a few doctors with good medical reputations to take a look. He actually agreed with Chen Zhao.

What Zhao said is exactly right.

In response to this, Chen Zhao said, "You have been drinking too much and I will use my internal strength to test it. Any doctor with good medical skills will make such a diagnosis."

So Jia Lian completely believed in Chen Zhao, discussed with Sister Feng for a long time, and cried a lot. Finally, he felt enlightened and came to Chen Zhao for help.

If Sister Feng could read, she would probably say something like "I originally wanted to be the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch."

Jia Lian originally donated a fifth-grade Tongzhi, but because he did not seek advancement, he, the heir to the title, managed the housework under the second door of the Rongguo Mansion, while the fifth-grade Tongzhi worked as a cow and a horse for the fifth-grade Yuanwai Lang.

Now that I understand, of course I have to get rid of the secular affairs of the Jia family as soon as possible and run to the Yamen to give gifts to my boss.

Why are you working as a government official to make progress?

No one dared to stop the Rongguo Mansion's Xijue from sending gifts to ask for his advancement, but they also didn't dare to make him tired. So after a lot of work, Jia Lian became a fifth-grade donation official in the General Affairs Department, except for a few points every day.

Mao, I can still do some trivial things, not too big or too small. I won't be tired, I still have something to do, and I can count as an official outside. Moreover, everyone in the government office, including Jia Lian himself, is very satisfied...

Sister Feng was also suspicious of Mrs. Wang at this moment, and how could she not be happy when she heard that Jia Lian said she wanted to make progress? The couple went to Jia She and Mrs. Xing to discuss the matter, which surprised Jia She and his wife.

His son and daughter-in-law changed their minds and wanted to draw a clear line between them and their second wife. Although Jia She didn't seem to know the reason, he agreed with both hands and feet.

So Mrs.

He said, "Madam, didn't you say it's nothing serious?"

Sister Feng said with a flattering smile: "Although it's nothing serious, she is my mother-in-law after all. My mother-in-law is sick, and a daughter-in-law must naturally serve her. I just ask my wife to care about me and let me abide by my filial piety."

This made both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang unhappy, but they had nothing to say. Sister Feng couldn't do much, so she immediately asked Ping'er to pack up her things and move them to Jia She and Mrs. Xing's small courtyard.

Although Jia She and his wife were happy, they still had doubts in their hearts. Knowing that they couldn't tell from their own words, they called Ping'er for questioning.

Ping'er was also a smart man, and said: "How can I, a slave, know what the second master and the second grandma are thinking? But I vaguely heard the second master say that it would be thankless for the second grandma to manage the family. If she doesn't have a son in a few years,

Come on, Second Master Bao has married a daughter-in-law, so how can there be food for Second Mistress? Our eldest son belongs to Xijue, and our direct grandson is more important than a word or two of praise from the people below."

These words were in line with Jia She's wishes, especially the phrase "our big family". He twirled his beard with satisfaction and said, "Isn't that right? Tell them to give me a grandson as soon as possible!"

Mrs.

! What's more, she has no children and her feet are unstable. Now Jia Lian has come to support him! As long as he is willing to treat her as his mother, she can finally survive.

Sister Feng went to the main house to show her filial piety, so she naturally let go of the housekeeper's affairs. Mrs. Wang had the intention not to give in, but she couldn't bear the responsibility of being filial, so she had to take care of herself.

After that, every day in Mrs. Wang's room, a crowd of maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law gathered around. They asked her to open the warehouse to get things, and asked her to give them the right cards to pick up items. The maids and the mother-in-law quarreled, and the mother-in-law bet on cards.

After losing the fight, there were many people talking, and the matters were complicated. Mrs. Wang was so busy that she wished she had a pair of arms. She had no choice but to ask Li Wan to come over to help with the management. After thinking about it for a long time, she told the outside world that Baochai was also the housekeeper at home in the past.

He asked someone to invite her over to help him look at his accounts, and asked Tanchun to come over and help.

When Jia Mu heard about it, she sighed and said nothing.

After Sister Feng heard about it, she looked at Jia Lian and said, "I finally understand."

Jia Lian said coldly: "Does this need to be said? Your good aunt used to coax you all the time. She only wanted to let Bao Yatou come in and continue to help him control the affairs of the house. By then, even if you were the head of the family, you would be able to take advantage of her easily.

You took it, and you called it recuperating. You helped her with all your heart, and offended our husband and wife to death. What can you do with it? We still have to take a good rest and recuperate, and we must not make any mistakes again.

"

When Sister Feng saw that he was speaking so vehemently and in a manly manner, her face turned red and her eyes became like water waves.

…

This day was Zhang Heqing's birthday, so he naturally held a big banquet, invited relatives and friends, and had a great time.

This Zhang Heqing was Chen Zhao's friend for many years. They worked hard together from Yangzhou, and their parents also worked hard together. Chen Zhao not only had to visit to congratulate him, but was also responsible for receiving his friends.

So I got very drunk for a while.

Chen Zhao was not willing to use his inner strength to turn wine into something so happy, so he rode the carriage back home drunk.

It happened that Xiang Ling was not feeling well today, so Xia Ruoqing, who had entered the residence in a low-key manner as a gift from His Majesty, helped Chen Zhao back to the house and sat on the low couch. Qingwen and Zijuan hurriedly went about their business and took out a copper basin to serve.

He poured warm water, soaked the towel, twisted it half dry, and wiped Chen Zhao's face and neck. He brought clear soup, gave Chen Zhao a sip, and then spit it into a bowl to remove the smell of alcohol in his mouth.

, and then serve sobering tea.

"Okay." Chen Zhao waved his hands, stood up, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Okay, I'm almost awake. Is the hot water ready?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Back to my lord, the hot water is ready."

"Okay, I'll go take a bath myself, you guys can do your own business." Chen Zhao said, then went to take a bath and change clothes by himself.

Xia Ruoqing took a step, then took it back at a loss. Looking at Qingwen and others, she felt strange and couldn't help asking: "Master went to bathe and change clothes, why didn't anyone follow him to serve him?"

Zijuan and Qingwen looked at each other, with a slight blush on their faces, and replied: "Master is most annoying when someone is around when he is bathing and changing clothes. We have said it several times, but we have been rejected and scolded twice."

"That's it." Xia Ruoqing nodded and said nothing more.

After waiting for a while, the few people sat there quite bored. Caixia couldn't help but yawn. Xia Ruoqing saw that there was nothing going on, so she said: "It's getting late, you guys go and have a rest first."

"The master sent me and Sister Zijuan on an errand, asking us to copy the "Collection of Tang Poems" he compiled. We should also make up for it." Qingwen said hesitantly.

"That's right, we can't help Fourth Master with business matters, but it's time to help Fourth Master with these trivial matters." Zijuan nodded, and then asked: "Miss Zhao, aren't you going to have a rest?"

"You guys have business, go ahead and do it. I'm here."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Miss Xia." Zijuan said quickly, turned to Xiuluan and Caixia and said: "The calligraphy that Fourth Master asked you to practice every day should be made up for in these two days, otherwise you should wait until Fourth Master remembers it.

It’s not a good idea to check it out.”

In this way, Zijuan arranged for Xiuluan Caixia to go out alone, and finally pulled Qingwen, who was somewhat reluctant, out of the east wing.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Qingwen asked doubtfully.

"Miss Xia was sent here by His Majesty, why do you have to get in the middle and make it difficult for me?" Xia Ruoqing vaguely heard what Zicuckoo said to Qingwen, and her face turned red at these intermittent words.

The room became quiet, and Xia Ruoqing was able to calm down and continue thinking about her own thoughts.

She knew that she was an orphan since she was a child, and was regarded as a child by her adoptive parents. Although her family was not rich and powerful when she was a child, she had enough food and clothing, and had free time to study and work as a female celebrity. Later, her younger brother was born, and although her adoptive parents were a little partial,

But she still treats herself well. She raised her younger brother since he was a child, and the relationship between the siblings is deeper than that of their adoptive parents.

When it was time to get hairpins, the people who came to ask for marriage would break the threshold of their homes. At that time, I was also speculating about what my future husband would be like? Is it Yuan Zhen who "once faced a lot of difficulties" or "peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze"

"Cui Hu?"

My adoptive parents declined many marriage proposals. At that time, I thought they really cared about me, and that was why I had the courage to refuse such high-ranking officials as a junior minister. Later, the final choice was Jia Rongjia, the Jiajia East Mansion.

To be honest, Xia Ruoqing was also satisfied at the time. He was the young master of the Ningguo Mansion, the eldest grandson of the Jia Mansion, and the future clan leader. He was handsome and had a gentle temperament, so there was nothing to regret.

Who has ever wanted to get married but encountered that kind of embarrassing thing. After struggling for half a year, I was isolated and helpless, and thinking about the old and weak people in my family, I almost gave up. Fortunately, Brother Zhong came to him and asked for help.

Within two or three months, the bad guy was paralyzed in bed and became a living dead in need of care. He also had a look of fear when he saw Uncle Rong and himself.

Uncle Rong became the master of Ningguo Mansion. She thought that she could live a good life, but she was sent to Shuiyue An with a divorce letter.

She is also such a smart person. She immediately thought of the twists and turns in this matter, and she was afraid that she would become an object in Jia Rong's hands.

When I understood it at that time, I was immediately heartbroken.

But I never expected that he became a high-ranking official, went to Liaodong, returned to Beijing, kept busy, and never appeared next to me again.

Later, when she heard what Brother Zhong said, she realized that the man really wanted to save her and was not greedy for her own body.

She originally thought that she would be a Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life, but she did not expect that the emperor secretly issued a decree to give her the national surname of Xia, change her name to Xia Ruoqing, make herself the mistress of Langhuan County, and join the Viscount Yingwu Mansion.

It seems that this is an injustice committed in a previous life, and there is no way to escape it.

Just as he was thinking of this, Chen Zhao took a shower, changed into light and loose clothes and came in.

"Hey, they're all gone."

"The four of them all had errands arranged by you, so they all went to work." Xia Ruoqing looked at Chen Zhao's face in the candlelight and felt inexplicably flustered.

"You have just entered the mansion, so you should go and rest early." Chen Zhao stood there and said.

"I am not tired. Besides, it is my duty to serve your lordship." At this point, Xia Ruoqing felt that these words seemed too ambiguous and couldn't help but blush.

"It is not your duty to serve me, it is your duty to serve the Lord of Langhuan County."

"The lord and the county are from the same family, so what's the difference?"

The more Xia Ruoqing spoke, the lower her voice became, and finally it was almost inaudible.

Chen Zhao looked at Xia Ruoqing under the candlelight, his eyes were full of autumn water, and his eyebrows were brushing against the spring mountains. Two cherries were divided into plain mouths, and a branch of willow was divided into slender waists. Before he could appreciate the fragrance of the whole body, he had already seen the very rich charm.

He was still a little tipsy, and a hint of restlessness made him take a few steps forward involuntarily. His nose smelled a faint incense, like musk orchid or orchid.

Coupled with the gorgeous face in front of him, combined with the amorous feelings of Daiyu and Baochai, a heat suddenly exploded from the bottom of his heart. Chen Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and hugged Xia Ruoqing directly.

As if she had been expecting it for a long time, Xia Ruoqing's brain seemed to have turned into paste, and her body suddenly became soft and turned into mud. You could also smell the fragrance of Chen Zhao that penetrated deeply into your spleen and stomach, and you were immersed in it unknowingly.

Xia Ruoqing was so embarrassed that she wanted to pull away, but her legs could no longer move. She weakly pushed Chen Zhao's broad chest with both hands.

Her eager-to-reject attitude made the fire in Chen Zhao's heart even more intense. He hugged Xia Ruoqing, turned around the screen, and walked to the bed.

"Uuuu, Sir, is this inappropriate?"
