Chapter 170 (1/2)
Gu Qingzhou prescribed a prescription, and the fifth aunt too Huayan decocted the medicine himself.
Huayan personally went to he's medicine shop, bought herbs and a medicine stove.
This is what Gu Qingzhou ordered.
The shopkeeper is a very kind person. Hua Yan feels very relaxed when she teaches her bit by bit.
”Decocting medicine is also very easy.” Hua Yan thought.
She slowly lit the fire with a round fan.
The medicine overflowed and Hua Yan took a breath like enjoyment. She liked the taste very much. It was bitter but healthy.
”Aunt, how long will it take to drink this medicine?” Hua Yan's trusted maid XiuXiu asked.
”Five doses, one dose a day, and three days.” Hua Yan said.
XiuXiu frowned: ”is it really so easy? Aunt, it's not a big problem. I'm afraid you'll suffer in vain.”
XiuXiu thinks the medicine smells so bad that good people will have trouble eating it.
Hua Yan tapped her on the head and said with a smile, ”don't talk about right and wrong. Miss Gu is a miracle doctor. The supervisor praised her. I believe she can cure my disease.”
Gu Qingzhou's medical skills have been praised by the governor more than once, and Si qiongzhi has also mentioned them many times.
Huayan believes her very much.
Hua Yan thought: ”I have been in the house for more than five years and have no children. I should be very happy if Miss Gu can help me recuperate and the supervisor comes late to have a son.”
Just, thinking of this, Huayan is always a little unwilling.
She didn't want to help the superintendent have children.
Somewhere in her heart, she was always ready to move. She was the only one who knew those thoughts and didn't even tell XiuXiu.
After years of brewing, those thoughts never disappeared, but became thicker and thicker.
Because of this, Hua Yan is very resistant to having a child. She always feels that she has a child and there is no other possibility in her life.
She doesn't want to. She's looking forward to a miracle.
XiuXiu stopped talking and sat down beside her. She seems to be thinking something, too.
Huayan regained his mind, looked at XiuXiu and thought of some past events.
XiuXiu is 19 years old. She is the daughter of the shopkeeper of Huayan family. She has followed her mother since childhood and often plays in Huayan family.
At that time, it was still the former dynasty, and the rules were not abolished. Hua Yan's mother often said that in the future, XiuXiu would be given to Hua Yan as a dowry servant girl, and the two would support each other in the future.
The servant girl who marries with her can be a decent servant girl for her uncle. After giving birth to a child, she will be my aunt.
Therefore, Huayan and XiuXiu have been close since childhood. Although Huayan is six years older than XiuXiu, she is as careful about her belly. I hope XiuXiu can help her in her family business in the future.
All men have aunts and wives, unless they are particularly worthless men.
Huayan can't marry a worthless man.
Since Tongfang and aunt are inevitable, it's better to choose someone who is familiar with and loyal to yourself.
XiuXiu's character will never pick things between Hua Yan and his uncle. Hua Yan trusts her very much.
I just didn't expect that now Huayan himself has become someone else's aunt and wife. It's really good luck.
”XiuXiu, in a twinkling of an eye, you are twenty.” Hua Yan said.
XiuXiu raised her eyes and looked at her puzzled.
Because of the new law issued by the Nanjing government, a woman must be at least 20 years old before she can get married. The servants of the Department must abide by the law so as not to be sued in a military court.
XiuXiu's marriage has also been postponed to today.
”I have to find a good marriage for you.” Hua Yan smiled.
XiuXiu blushed: ”my aunt teased me again!”
Hua Yan patted her on the head and said to her sister, ”don't be shy. Girls have to marry. In my opinion, the governor's house is a quagmire. Please ask my mother to decide and move you out of the Secretary's house, which is the future.”
XiuXiu's face suddenly changed.
She looked at Hua Yan in amazement, her thin lips opened slightly, and a sentence hovered in her mouth.
She stopped talking and finally bowed her head.
Hua Yan could see that she was very sad. She thought she was reluctant to give up herself and said, ”we should also be separated. I can't drag you down all your life and let you always serve me.”
XiuXiu hung her head and said nothing.
Huayan cooks medicine and the room is full of medicine fragrance. She is relaxed and happy.
At this time, Xiangyu, the maid, smiled and walked up to Huayan: ”aunt Wu, the house is badly smoked. Let me decoct the medicine for you.”
The fifth aunt is too stunned.
She didn't expect that Gu Qingzhou asked her to fish, and she caught Xiangyu.
Xiangyu is honest and diligent. The fifth aunt likes her very much.
Moreover, she is different from other servants. She never visits the door and is honest. Not long ago, Xiangyu gave birth to a son. The fifth aunt also gave her a three-month leave and a generous gift of 50 yuan.
What, she's a mole?
Hua Yan was surprised and his face was not very good-looking. Her eyes were deep and fell quietly on Xiangyu's face.
Xiangyu looked frustrated. She took over the small round fan in Huayan's hand and slowly lit a fire.
According to the original plan, the fifth aunt stood up, stretched herself and said, ”then you come and endure, I'll have a rest.”
She went upstairs.
XiuXiu followed her up.
The fifth aunt winked at XiuXiu and asked XiuXiu to pay attention to the movement of Xiangyu.
A moment later, XiuXiu said, ”madam, Xiangyu asked you to add something to your medicine stove!”
The fifth aunt was too angry.
Then, Xiangyu cooked the medicine, XiuXiu brought it up and handed it to the fifth aunt.
