The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Qin Di remembered that in those movies, TV dramas and novels, it was often said that the imperial physicians in the palace were all in vain and could not have past, so most of the recipes they used were for stability.

Qin Di then suggested: "Princess, why don't you ask the famous doctors in Beijing to take a look?"

Grandma Wang nodded and said, "The third master said the same thing, but the princess felt it was unnecessary. She said that she only took the medicine for a few days, and the effect was not so fast."

Qin Di frowned slightly, then said coquettishly, "Princess, this is not acceptable.

If you don't ask a doctor to take a look, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night when I go back. "

She opened a pair of black and white almond eyes, charming, naive and cute.

Princess Duan was amused.

Qin Di climbed up the pole, smiled and said to Wang Momo: "Wang Momo, Wang Fei smiled, it means that you agreed, you quickly invite the doctor, lest Wang Fei regret it again."

Mammy Wang glanced at Princess Duan, and seeing that she didn't object, she responded with a smile, complimenting the future third lady's cleverness in her heart.

In the past, even if their servants persuaded, the princess would not necessarily listen.

The third master is a man, and it is not good for them to always disturb him for some internal affairs. In the future, after the third lady passes the door, they can share their worries for the princess.

Mother Wang hurriedly sent a little maid to Renji Hall to invite a doctor, while Princess Duan and Qin Di returned to the main hall on sliding poles.

Before the doctor invited him back, Gu Zezhi came back first.

As soon as he walked under the eaves, he heard the laughter of women coming from the house, which added a bit of warmth to this cold and windy winter day.

The corners of Gu Zezhi's lips were slightly raised, and his steps subconsciously sped up a bit.

The maid in the main hall saw Gu Zezhi and hurriedly bowed her knees: "Third Master."

At the same time, someone cast a curtain for him, and Qin Di and Princess Duan from Dongci heard the sound and looked in the direction of the curtain, and both laughed.

Qin Di waved at Gu Zezhi and said with a smile, "Brother, you're back!"

Gu Zezhi looked at the smiling faces of the two, and the smile on his lips became even stronger, like a spring breeze.

"what are you guys saying?"

Gu Zezhi asked casually.

Gu Zezhi lifted his robe and sat down on an armchair beside Qin Di, sitting tall and elegant.

Qin Di looked at Gu Zezhi and smiled, his eyes narrowed into two slits: "Princess is telling me about your childhood!"

She deliberately increased the volume of the three words "when she was a child", and laughed even more.

Gu Zezhi looked at Princess Duan, who was still smiling, mysteriously, and winked at Qin Di, meaning it was a little secret between the two of them.

Qin Di nodded and greeted Gu Zezhi to drink tea with a smile: "Brother, drink tea, your favorite Lu'an tea."

Qin Di is righteously opposed to the guests, and by the way is generous to others.

Princess Duan liked her undisguised appearance, and her smile deepened.

She has been looking forward to her son's marriage for five or six years. Seeing that she can finally achieve what she wants. For her, as long as the young couple is harmonious and beautiful.

Gu Zezhi had just had a sip of tea when the little maid who had gone to the doctor came back, bringing an old doctor with gray hair and a medicine boy with a medicine box.

"Princess, this is Doctor Li of Ji Shitang."

The little maid bowed her knees to Princess Duan.

The old doctor and the medicine boy hurriedly saluted Princess Duan respectfully, "I have seen the princess."

Gu Zezhi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Originally, Gu Zezhi thought that when he came back today, he would ask someone to invite a famous doctor from Beijing to come back to see his concubine, but he did not expect that he had already invited him.

Madam Wang smiled and said: "Third Master, it is still the third girl Qin who has the ability, and coaxed the princess to agree to invite the doctor. Third master, you are not as sweet as the third girl."

Mammy Wang is the dowry maid of Princess Duan, and she also watched Gu Zezhi grow up, so she dared to speak to Gu Zezhi in such a playful tone.

Her words made Princess Duan smile even deeper, and the maids on the side could not help bending their lips.

Qin Di smiled with frowning eyebrows, and took it for granted. Since she met Gu Zezhi, her ability to coax people has really grown!

Gu Zezhi looked at her with a softer expression.

Two old ladies quickly brought a chair and a plan and asked Dr. Li to sit down.

Doctor Li skillfully checked the pulse of Princess Duan. After a while, he got up and said, "Princess, Third Young Master, Princess is overworked, so her body is weak and spleen is weak, and the wind is evil..."

Gu Zezhi didn't say a word, thinking in his heart, is there too much trouble in Luo'an City, and the concubine is tired?

He originally wanted to keep Princess Duan in the capital for a longer time, but now he has made up his mind.

After Dr. Li prepared the recipe, the little maid specially brought the recipe to Gu Zezhi for review.

The ink on the square was dry, exuding a faint scent of ink.

Gu Zezhi quickly scanned the recipe.

He is not proficient in medical skills, but only has a little knowledge of medical theory and the medicinal properties of some herbal medicines. Recently, for Princess Duan's illness, he has also read some classics on typhoid fever, and has some understanding. It can be seen that this recipe is different from the previous two. The prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physicians are similar, except that the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physicians are warmer and more nourishing, while Dr. Li's prescription is to clear the heat evil of the Sanjiao, nourish the spleen and lungs, and strengthen the vitality.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ze thought to the little maid and said, "Just follow this recipe."

The mother-in-law has seen two imperial doctors, and taking so many celestial medicines has no effect. It is better to try this famous doctor in Beijing. Ji Shitang is also a century-old doctor in the capital, and it has been famous for generations.

The little maid sent Doctor Li away, and then Qin Di also took the initiative to leave, not wanting to disturb Princess Duan's rest.

Princess Duan saw that it was getting late, so she did not leave Qin Di, and said to Gu Zezhi, "Zezhi, send Xiao Di for me."

Gu Zezhi agreed.

After stepping out of the threshold, Du Ruo hurriedly put on Qin Di a pink cloak with a circle of white mink fur.

Outside I don't know when the snow fell, and the snowflakes like catkins fell from the gray sky one after another.

Du Ruo was thinking about whether to ask someone from the palace to prepare a soft sedan chair, when Gu Zezhi took an azurite-colored oil-paper umbrella from the maid, and the oil-paper umbrella naturally rested on top of Qin Ji's head. .

"beware of the steps."

Gu Zezhi reminded Qin Di, and the two walked down unhurriedly.

Du Ruo swallowed the unspoken words, and borrowed an oil-paper umbrella from the maid of the palace, knowingly lagging behind a few steps, silently following behind the two of them.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the fine snowflakes "rustled" hit the paper umbrella, and the snowflakes all over the sky blurred the vision.

This small oil-paper umbrella isolated the two from the outside world.

The two walked slowly all the way, chatting and laughing one after another, and after a while, they walked to the Qin family's carriage.

"Big brother..." Qin Di was about to say goodbye to Gu Zezhi when he saw a few snowflakes on his left shoulder.

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, and gently brushed the snowflakes off his shoulders with the handkerchief.

Seeing that his robes were clean and spotless, Qin Di smiled with satisfaction, then raised his face with a smile, and said to Gu Zezhi in a somewhat congratulatory tone: "No thanks."

The oil-paper umbrella cast a faint shadow on Qin Di's little face. When she looked up at Gu Zezhi, those long and thick eyelashes trembled twice, making her dark almond eyes extra bright. , extraordinarily bright.

Eyes roll, and she smiles beautifully.

Gu Zezhi was stunned, then looked at Qin Di with a smile, "Wrong."

Qin Di was stunned, and saw Gu Zezhi personally lift the curtain of the carriage for her.

"Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."

The corners of his graceful lips were slightly raised and curved into a pleasant arc, as gentle as the warm wind of three springs.

Qin Di was not polite to him at all, stepped onto the carriage, and said lightly, "That's right."

At this time, the servant came over with Gu Zezhi's white horse, handed the reins to Gu Zezhi, and put a cloak on him.

Gu Zezhi got on the horse neatly, and the horses and carts quickly drove out of the west corner gate of the palace with the sound of the groom's whip.

The Marquis of Zhongyi and Prince Duan's mansion were not far away, but after a stick of incense, Gu Zezhi sent Qin Di back to the Marquis of Zhongyi.

After a while, a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, roofs, and treetops, and the snow had turned into a goose feather snow.

Qin Di didn't show any kindness to Gu Zezhi at all. Without saying any thanks, he waved his hand and said, "Be careful on the road."

The girl smiled sweetly, and her originally delicate and beautiful face was like a hibiscus blooming in the beginning, scorching its splendor.

The carriage quickly entered Zhongyi Hou's mansion under the guidance of the concierge, and only after the corner gate of the Hou's mansion was closed did Gu Zezhi ride his horse away.

Qin Di returned to the Yuanxiang Courtyard, and just asked Du Ruo to put away the Jiuhe incense given by Princess Duan, and when it was time to go to bed at night, a maid came to report: "Third girl, the Wei family has just arrived, and they are here to give New Year's gifts. Yes, it's at Mrs. Tai's place. After Mrs. Tai asks you to come back, go there."

The Wei family was the natal family of Qin Di's biological mother, Wei's family, so Qin Di passed by immediately.

What came from the Wei family was a fiftieth-year-old grandmother, wearing a rust-colored and dark-patterned robe. At this moment, she was half-sitting on the brocade that Mrs. Qin had rewarded. eagerly looking forward.

Seeing Qin Di come in, the grandmother stood up from the Jin Tu excitedly.

Qin Di first gave Mrs. Qin Tai a salute, while Cui Ma introduced the mama and said, "Three girls, this is Yu Ma, who is serving by the girl's grandmother..."

"Like, really like..." Mammy Yu stared at Qin Di and murmured excitedly.

She couldn't help but took two steps forward, and bowed her knees to greet Qin Di: "I have seen the watch girl."

Her eyes were red, and even her breath became hurried.

Qin Ji: "..."

Madam Yu held a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Miss Biao, this servant also grew up watching the second aunt from a young age. The girl and the second aunt look alike, they are exactly the same..."

While speaking, Yu Ma's eyes turned redder and she swallowed slightly.

She took two deep breaths and slowed down a bit before saying again: "The old lady and Mrs. Tai received a letter from the Empress in October. Originally, Mrs. Tai wanted to come to the capital in person, but before leaving, Mrs. Tai was ill. It fell down, and it took more than a month of rest to get better."

"The old lady and the lady want to see the Biao girl with their own eyes, but the old lady can't leave the office at will. The lady is not in good health this winter, so she sent slaves to pay her respects to the Biao girl."

"Mrs. Tai said that she will come to the capital as soon as the spring begins."

During the conversation, Yumao was also sighing.

The Wei family will give the Qin family New Year gifts every year. In the past ten years, she has basically come to Beijing to give gifts, and every time she will greet Qin Xin.

When she was a child, Mammy Yu didn't think that as Qin Xin grew up and her facial features developed, Mama Yu also felt that Qin Xin was neither like her own girl nor her uncle, but she never thought that Qin Xin would be able to do it. It's a fake!

Fortunately, the second aunt and the second aunt have spirits in the sky, and the Bodhisattva blesses them, so they found the real Biao girl!

Madam Yu recited the Buddha reverently in her heart, and continued: "I just heard from my in-laws wife that Miss Biao had just booked a marriage, and when the slaves came out of Suzhou, the Wei family hadn't heard the news yet.

Now that the old man and the lady have come to know, they will be very happy. "

Although Mammy Yu has never met Gu Zezhi, it is conceivable that the emperor will give Qin Di a marriage, and the empress must know that. Since it is approved by the empress, then the third son of Duanwang must be good!

Mammy Yu let out a long sigh of relief and smiled happily.

To be honest, Mrs. Wei Tai had also worried about Qin Di's marriage before. After all, Qin Di's identity was too embarrassing, and it was not easy to find the right family. Mrs. Wei also discussed with Mrs. Wei whether she was there or not. Suzhou slowly picks a mover... I didn't expect the Empress to move so fast!

At this time, a maid's salute came from outside: "Five masters."

Immediately afterwards, the door curtain was rudely opened, and Qin Zeyu in a blue robe walked in quickly.

Qin Zeyu was very familiar with Yu Mammy. After she asked Mrs. Qin to be safe, she took the initiative to talk to Yu Mama: "Yu Mama, grandfather, grandmother, and several uncles and aunts, how are you?"

"Master Yu Biao, okay, everyone is okay."

As soon as Mammy Yu saw Qin Zeyu, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and there were lines of laughter at the corners of her eyes, "Master Ning Biao said that you want to practice martial arts, and asked the old man to send a martial arts master over."

"real!"

Qin Zeyu's eyes lit up a long time ago, and he jumped three feet high, cheering, "Grandfather is so nice!"

After returning to Beijing from Donghun, Qin Zeyu chased Qin Zening and asked about Master Wu several times, but he was dismissed by his brother "I'm looking for it".

To be honest, Qin Zeyu also secretly wondered if his brother had repented.

I really take care of my elder brother and gentleman's belly.

Qin Zeyu repented in his heart, and couldn't wait to ask, "Mother Yu, where is the person?"

Mrs. Qin Tai, who was sitting on the kang, saw Qin Zeyu's escape, she couldn't help but shook her head, and replied for Yu Yu: "It's in the outer courtyard.

I have asked the chief steward to arrange a room for him. "

Mammy Yu brought Master Wu over, and naturally she wanted to talk to Mrs. Qin Tai.

Knowing that Qin Zeyu couldn't sit still anymore, Mrs. Qin Tai said thoughtfully, "Sister Ji, Brother Yu, you take Mammy Yu down and have a good talk."

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Qin Tai instructed Mama Cui to give the gift list to Qin Di, "Sister Di, take this gift list."

What she means is that these rituals do not belong to the public, but to the long room.

Mrs. Qin Tai said this in front of Yu Yu, and of course she also said it to the Wei family.

Qin Di was not polite to Mrs. Qin Tai at all, and accepted the gift list generously.

When Qin Di and the others went out from Ronghetang, a figure in a plum-red cloak happened to be walking towards her, and the maid in Tsing Yi was holding an umbrella for her.

The bright plum red was particularly eye-catching in the surrounding ice and snow.

"Third sister, fifth brother."

Qin Xin, who was walking slowly, smiled at Qin Di and Qin Zeyu, and then called out to Mammy Yu, "Mammy Yu."

Qin Xin wanted to reminisce with Mammy Yu, but she didn't want to. Mammy Yu didn't even look at her as if she had never heard of it. She smiled and said to Qin Di: "Biao girl, it's snowing and slippery, so be careful with your feet."

The three walked beside Qin Xin and went outside the Ronghe Hall.

Qin Xin stood motionless on the spot, her hands in the cloak clenched tightly into fists, and her round nails tightly pinched her tender palms.

Her face became more and more gloomy, and she let the cold wind like a knife blow on her tender cheeks.

She knew that everyone in the world was like this.

When she was beaten to the bottom, even these servants looked down on her!

Qin Xin was embarrassed and angry, and gritted her teeth angrily.

Qin Di took everything from her effortlessly, just like in the previous life.

Qin Xin suddenly moved, turned around slowly, and looked at the backs of Qin Di, Qin Zeyu, and Mother Yu, her lips pursed into a straight line.

She should have recognized this reality long ago.

In the eyes of the Qin family, there is only blood;

In the eyes of the world, there is only status.

If she is still the future second prince concubine, how dare Mammy Yu treat her!

In the blink of an eye, the cold wind in the courtyard became more violent, and a few snowflakes fell on Qin Xin's eyebrows and eyelashes, making her beautiful little face a little colder.

Qin Xin's eyes gradually settled down, and she said to herself in her heart—

She hasn't lost yet!

She is a person who has lived a new life, and she is a person sheltered by God.

Since God gave her a chance to do it all over again, she will never admit defeat easily, she knows many things will happen in the future...

The more they want to suppress her, the more they want to see her jokes, the more she wants to live a better life!

Qin Xin turned around and went against Qin Di and the three of them, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

After leaving the courtyard of Ronghetang, Qin Di walked along a corridor with nine and eighteen bends together with Qin Zeyu and Yu Ma.

"Mother Yu, do you know the Xiao family in Jiangnan?"

Qin Di asked while walking.

The reason why she asked this question was because her grandfather, Mrs. Wei, was the governor of Jiangnan in Suzhou, and the Xiao family was also in Jiangnan.

Mammy Yu of course knew about the Xiao family, and she knew that the reason why Qin Di asked about the Xiao family was because Princess Duan was born in the Xiao family.

Mammy Yu hurriedly said, "The Wei family and the Xiao family are familiar with each other, and the two have frequent contacts."

"The Xiao family is a family of hairpins and lings with a century-old reputation. Princess Duan is the eldest daughter of that generation of Xiao family. The family style of the Xiao family is very good. Duan Wang, my younger brother."

Speaking of this past event, Yu Yumao was also somewhat emotional.

"In those days, Princess Duan was still unable to give birth after she got married. In those years, she also invited famous doctors from all over the country. They all said that it was difficult for the princess to have children. Therefore, the prince handed the emperor a book and asked the seventeen-year-old eldest son to be the heir. .

No one expected that just a few months after the emperor sealed the crown prince, Princess Duan had good news! "

Madam Yu felt a little embarrassed.

This third son of Gu is a good son-in-law, and the only son-in-law of Duan Wang, but he lowered his son's head by accident.

But on second thought, she thought it might be her life.

If the third son of Gu is the prince, then, with his identity and status, this marriage may not be possible.

The world has its own destiny.

Just like the cousin, although she was taken away by an adulterer for a while, she was going to recognize her ancestors after all.

Thinking of the hardships Qin Di has endured over the years, Mama Yu felt distressed.

Mammy Yu calmed down and continued, "The servants have also heard that Princess Duan is quite capable of housekeeping. Although there are many concubines and concubines in the palace, there has never been any trouble."

"Those concubines and concubines in the palace are also respectful and obedient. For decades, I have never heard of the unrest in the back of the palace, and the concubines of the palace have never died prematurely."

"That's right, all the daughters of the Xiao family can do it!"

While talking, they went out of the second door and came to the outer courtyard.

Qin Di also instructed the old woman to invite the martial artist, and the three continued to walk to Qin Zeyu's Yijia Garden.

Along the way, Mammy Yu hurriedly told the two brothers and sisters about this Master Wu.

The master Wu, who was invited by the Wei family, was surnamed Yue. He used to be a gang leader of the Cao Gang. A few years ago, the old gang leader was seriously ill. Master Yue and another gang leader Cai were the strongest competitors for the new gang leader. Master Yue was framed for murdering the old gang leader, and almost lost his life by lynching. At that time, Mrs. Wei came forward to stop the Cao gang, and gave Master Yue a grievance.

Master Yue was extremely disappointed with the Cao Gang, so he withdrew from the Cao Gang, because Mrs. Wei was kind to him. Over the years, he has stayed in the Wei family and served as a personal guard for Mr. Wei.

And this time, his willingness to come to the Qin family to be a martial master who teaches is also out of the hope of Grandpa Wei.

After Mammy Yu finished speaking, she mentioned: "Master Yu Biao, Master Yue is very skilled in martial arts. You should learn from Master Yue in the future."

Qin Zeyu nodded again and again, his eyes lit up, and he listened with relish to these anecdotes that he had only heard in the mouths of drama and storytellers.

After a while, Master Wu followed the old woman to Yijia Garden.

This person is about thirty years old, tall and burly, but in cold weather, he only wears a simple blue robe, his body is straight, and his eyes are sparkling and piercing.

Seeing that this person's eyes are clear and straight, Qin Di is also relieved. Thinking that he stayed in the Wei family for so many years, it was because Mrs. Wei was kind to him, and he was obviously a kind and righteous person.

Moreover, after listening to the words of Qin Zeyu just now, the Wei family should also respect this master Yue.

Qin Di pointed at the bluestone brick floor, "A Yu, don't hurry up and do the apprentice salute!"

What she meant was very clear. It was to ask Qin Zeyu to kneel and salute, which was no longer the etiquette for ordinary teachers.

In the final analysis, the general status of martial masters who ask for lessons in noble mansions like the capital is no different from that of general guards, and they are far from comparable to those of Mr. Wen who teach.

Qin Di asked Qin Zeyu to kneel down and perform the apprentice ceremony. After the apprentice ceremony, Master Yue was no ordinary teacher to Qin Zeyu.

In this era, masters and apprentices are like fathers and sons. Apprentices must obey their masters, and most of the masters and apprentices will give them all the money.

Master Yue looked at Qin Di in surprise, and said hurriedly, "I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it."

Mammy Yu was also surprised. After being surprised, her smile deepened and she felt very happy: Miss Biao is worthy of being the daughter of the second aunt. She is as knowledgeable as the second aunt, and has the courage to be informal.

Qin Zeyu didn't dare to say no to his sister's orders, and immediately fell to his knees with a plop. He didn't give Master Yue a chance to object, so he bent down and kowtowed, and called out: "master."

The servant Yan Ming quickly handed Qin Zeyu tea again, and Qin Zeyu held the tea cup high with both hands and handed it to Master Yue.

Master Yue's thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyes flickered.

Before he came, Mrs. Wei told him euphemistically that his grandson Qin Zeyu was a bit naughty and a devil king.

At that time, Master Yue was mentally prepared. After all, he was not completely ignorant of these nobles in the capital. Most of them looked down on people from Jianghu like them, especially in this great Qi Dynasty.

He also thought about coming to the capital to teach Qin Zeyu martial arts for a few years, and to teach him out of the teacher, just to repay Mrs. Wei's life-saving grace and knowledge.

But I didn't expect that this third Qin girl was not like a girl from the Wenchen family at all, and respected him very much, and the fifth master of the Qin family looked a little out of temper, but it was very simple.

Maybe in the next few years, his life in the Qin family will be different from what he expected.

Master Yue still had a stern look on his face, but a smile flashed across his eyes. He took Qin Zeyu's cup of tea and took a casual sip, even if he took the apprentice's cup of tea.

Since all the apprentices have recognized it, he should give it all.

Qin Zeyu got up from the ground with a smile, and asked eagerly, "Master, today... no, what are you going to teach me tomorrow?"

Qin Di patted Qin Zeyu's back and asked, "Where's your six-ceremony bundle repair?"

It means that he didn't give him any repairs, but he was embarrassed to urge Master Yue.

Qin Zeyu straightened his chest and said confidently, "I'll make it up tomorrow, no, I'll make it up tonight!"

Master Yue settled down in the Qin family. As for Yu Ma and others, after Qin Zening returned to the palace, he asked him to be safe and left, and went to the Wei family's mansion in the capital to live.

Asking someone to take Master Yue down to rest, Qin Zening left Qin Zeyu behind and gave him a good training:

"Ayu, you said you want to practice martial arts, and now you have invited a martial arts master for you, then it's up to you."

"You are a man. Since you are determined to learn martial arts, you should study hard and take martial arts exams in the future to fight for your own future."

"Brother, don't worry, I will!"

Qin Zeyu patted his chest and happily agreed, with a radiant face.

He has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, but neither Mrs. Qin nor Qin Xin would let him learn martial arts, or her own sister!

Therefore, Qin Zeyu began to practice three-nine in winter, and he didn't even slack off in the heavy snow.

The snow fell for three days in a row, and on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the snow finally stopped.

Mammy Yu was about to leave for Suzhou. Qin Di prepared a gift on behalf of the three brothers and sisters, and asked Mama Yu to take it back to Suzhou to bring it to the Wei family.

In addition to some Beijing specialties she bought, there are also two pairs of knee pads that she made by herself for her grandfather and grandmother.

She just learned female red, and her hands are very slow. It took a few nights and a few changes to make it. It can't be regarded as exquisite, but it also used a little ingenuity.

Xu was due to staying up late and getting cold. The day after Yu Ma and others left, Qin Di fell ill.

She was lazy and didn't want to get up, and the incense wafting from the room seemed to make her head even more dizzy.
