Qiyou Episode (Ninety-Five)

At the end of the day, Hong Po almost fell to the ground. He thought that the hardest thing was the military camp in Tongcheng, but compared with his aunt and grandmother's methods, the training intensity of the military camp was simply child's play.

Finally after the training, Hong Po didn't want to eat, so he just wanted to lie on the bed and go to sleep. As a result, Zao Zao refused.

"Eat first, and take a medicinal bath later." With the current training intensity, Hong Po's physical fitness would definitely not last three days without taking a medicinal bath.

After dinner, Zao Zao asked Hong Po to walk around the yard with her. Hong Po said with a bitter face, "Grandmother, can you let me go to bed?"

"I still need to take a medicinal bath. After eating, I have to rest for about a quarter of an hour before I can take a medicinal bath."

Hong Po was so tired that his whole body fell apart, his legs were no longer his own, and he had to walk slowly with Zao Zao. The taste of this is hard to describe in words. He would regret it so much, why did he ask his aunt to train him.

A quarter of an hour later, a servant came over and said, "Princess, the medicinal bath is ready."

Zao Zao took Hong Po to the clean room.

Hong Po waited for a long time, but did not see Zao Zao going out, so she said bravely, "Grandmother, I want to take off my clothes, can you go out and undress?"

Zao Zao gave him a white look, and said: "Don't take off your clothes, go in and soak in dirty pants." When she likes to stay here, it's not because she's afraid that Hong Po will jump out of the tub if she can't bear it.

Hong Po didn't dare to disobey Zao Zao's words, and finished undressing bitterly. Then walk into the tub and squat down.

"Ah..." The cry made the two guards who followed shiver.

Hong Po, who was held down by two guards and unable to move, cried, "Grandmother, it hurts too much, please let me out!" He thought that life in the military camp was the hardest, but he didn't expect his aunt Grandma was so miserable.

Zao Zao stood beside the bathtub and said lightly: "Hold on, it must be soaked for a quarter of an hour."

Hong Po was forced to sit in the bathtub and could not move. At this time, he realized what suffering is.

Two quarters of an hour later, Hong Po was limp in the tub, unable to get out at all.

Zao Zao said to a guard: "Wash him clean and throw him on the bed."

The next day, at dawn, Hong Po woke up. Thinking about what happened yesterday, he shivered.

Zao Zao said outside: "Not yet.

"

He used to be in Baihuayuan, and if he didn't meet the requirements, his great-grandfather would use wicker to whip him. At that time, I felt so pitiful. But now that he tried Zaozao's whip, he felt that Yunqing's wicker couldn't be more gentle.

In order not to be whipped, Hong Po quickly got up. Standing by the bed, he realized that he didn't feel any pain, and he was very relaxed.

Walking out of the room quickly, Hong Po asked, "Grandmother, did the medicinal bath last night relieve fatigue?"

Zao Zao hummed and said: "In addition to eliminating fatigue, it can also strengthen the body. You should feel that your body is much lighter than before."

Hong Po nodded: "Yes, I feel full of energy now."

In this regard, Zao Zao is not surprised.

Hong Po said with some regret: "If I had been allowed to soak in this medicinal bath earlier, I might have become a peerless master."

The corners of Zao Zao's mouth twitched: "In the past, were you willing to risk your life like yesterday? I'm afraid you'll have to cry for a long time, and you don't want to practice anymore." As long as the body is at its limit, soaking in this medicinal bath can exert its greatest effect .

Hong Po fell silent.

Next, Hong Po worked hard during the day and took medicinal baths at night. Then, go to bed. It went on and on again and again, so that there was no time to think about my family and my wife who was pregnant.

Chen Muqing was three months pregnant, so she sent someone to the Chen family to deliver the good news.

The next day, Mrs. Chen went over to visit with some supplements. Accompanied by Chen Mudan.

Second Madam Chen saw Chen Muqing with a smile and said: "Muqing is really a blessing." She became pregnant as soon as she entered the door, and if she got a boy in one fell swoop, she would then gain a firm foothold in the Prince You Palace.

Chen Mudan looked at her slightly swollen belly, and asked, "Isn't Eldest Sister just pregnant?" Look at this belly, it doesn't look like it's a month old at all.

Chen Muqing nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It's been three months. Mother said, it's not appropriate to tell the outside world if it's less than three months." In fact, Han Jingjing didn't like the Chen family, so she didn't send anyone to notify her. After a three-month notice, I don't want to be talked about. After all, such a big month can't be hidden from people.

Chen Mudan's mouth was quicker than his brain: "Isn't my aunt recovering from illness in Tongzhou, did she return to Beijing?"

Chen Muqing said with a smile: "My mother is still recovering from illness in Tongzhou, I was talking about my mother-in-law."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Chen Er knew that Chen Muqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were on good terms, otherwise she wouldn't call Shizi Concubine her mother.

In fact, knowing that Cui Shi and Chen Zhonghe disagreed with this marriage, she felt that both of them were out of their minds. You have a high position on the throne and a wealthy family, so she would wake up laughing in her dreams if she wanted to propose marriage to her daughter, so why would she refuse so stupidly. Later, her sister-in-law arranged this marriage privately, which made the Chen family go crazy, but looking at Mu Qing's life after marriage, her sister-in-law's suffering was worth it.

Chen Muqing asked with a smile: "Second Aunt, has Mu Dan's wedding date been fixed?"

Mrs. Chen Er nodded and said: "It's settled, it will be at the end of May."

Chen Muqing was a little surprised: "Why are you in such a hurry?" She went home to pay New Year's greetings in the first month, and at that time she didn't hear that the two families had set a wedding date.

"What the Mo family means is that Yunfan is old, and the marriage will be arranged after the exam." Mo Yunfan passed the exam, that is the happiest of joys. If you fail the exam, getting married can also dilute the gap caused by failing the exam.

Chen Muqing felt that this was a bit sloppy, but Chen Mudan is a cousin and not a real sister, so she can't care too much about it: "Senior brother is so talented, he will definitely be named on the gold list." With Mo Yunfan's talent, as long as he plays normally, he will definitely be able to pass the exam. Zhongjinshi. But such a thing as ranking is not sure.

Mrs. Chen and Chen Mudan both love to hear these words.

Mrs. Chen Er said with a smile on her face: "Mu Qing, you must come back with your grandson for a wedding banquet!"

Chen Muqing smiled and said: "I will definitely go to drink my sister's wedding wine." As for Hong Po, she can't guarantee this.

Chen Mudan struggled for a while and said, "Eldest sister, there is a lot of rumors outside that the grandmother forced the eldest aunt away. Eldest sister, do you know about this?"

Chen Muqing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No one told me about this." Although Han Jingjing didn't restrict what she could do, it was impossible for Chen Muqing to run outside even if she was pregnant. Han Jingjing ordered the people in the mansion not to mention the rumors outside.

Hearing this, Chen Mudan said: "Sister, can you let the eldest aunt come back? As long as the eldest aunt comes back, the outside world will no longer criticize our Chen family."

Mrs. Chen Er was so angry that she wanted to die. Before she came, she asked Wan Wan not to mention the rumors. As a result, this dead child ignored her words in an instant.

Chen Muqing smiled, and said: "My mother is recovering from illness in Tongzhou, and she can't return to the capital for the time being." The person sent said that her mother is now ruddy and energetic, and she is also fatter than before. Since they are living well in Tongzhou, how could Chen Muqing let Shu family go back to Beijing to suffer.

Chen Mudan was very disappointed.

Mrs. Chen Er said a few more polite words, then stood up and said, "Mu Qing, I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first. If you have something to do, please send me a message."

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Okay."

On the way back, the second Mrs. Chen scolded her daughter: "You really have an elm head." No matter how you say it, it doesn't make sense, and she is really mad at her.

Chen Mudan hung his head and dared not make a sound. Just now, I mustered up the courage to ask. Now, she doesn't have the courage to confront Mrs. Chen Er.

When they got home, when they got off the carriage, Chen Mudan looked at the back in the distance and said, "Mother, I seem to see Third Uncle."

Mrs. Chen looked into the distance, and she was really an annoying little uncle.

Chen Mudan said strangely: "Mother, isn't uncle grounded by uncle? How can he still come out?"

Mrs. Chen Er said disdainfully: "Your grandmother must have released him." She actually looked down on Cui Shi very much, but her natal family was not strong enough and her dowry was not generous, so she could only curry favor with Cui Shi for the sake of her children.

Chen Mudan said worriedly: "Mother, will third uncle cause trouble again when he comes out?" The last time he went to Fuyunlou to eat free food made the Chen family lose face. If there is another disturbance, she is worried that it will affect her marriage.

Mrs. Chen Er said: "With your uncle standing up, nothing major will happen." At most, it will be a loss of money. However, she is not a disadvantaged person.

It's just that Mrs. Chen Er didn't expect that Master Chen San would really cause a big event this time.

He was lured and taken to the casino to gamble. Ten days later, the thugs of the biggest gambling house in Beijing demanded a bill from the Chen family.

Seeing a stack of IOUs and each IOU was worth one thousand taels of silver, Mrs. Chen's heart almost jumped out: "How much, how much?"

Hearing 60,000 taels, Mrs. Chen Er fainted from fright.

Seeing this, the people in the gambling shop sneered and said: "Kill people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay back money. Don't think that you can avoid debts by fainting." Since they dare to come to ask for debts, they are not afraid of anything.

The chief steward of the Chen Mansion is also capable, and the dark color said calmly: "Such a large amount will definitely not be available for a while. I hope you can give it a few days."

The leader didn't buy it, and shouted: "Let someone who can be the master of your family come out."

The butler did not back down, and said: "Our Chen family is a century-old scholarly family, and my eldest daughter is married to a grandson of Prince You's Mansion. Our master will not rely on you."

Hong Po is a well-known little overlord in the capital, and King You is very powerful, even his boss would not dare to provoke him. If you provoke him, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around by then.

Thinking of this, the leader said: "Well, I will give you three days to raise money. After three days, we will come to ask for the bill. If we don't pay by then, we will not be polite." Dare to call on the door. The Chen family may not be able to deal with their boss, but it is easy to deal with them.

The butler sent the gangsters away, and then sent someone to tell Chen Zhonghe about it.
