The Overseer's House is divided into inner and outer courtyards.

The inner courtyard is the home, the outer courtyard is the office building, and the important meetings of the commanders and supervisors are all held by the military government.

Si Xingpei was talking to the staff and didn't see Gu Qingzhou.

On the other hand, the fifth concubine Tai Huayan was very nervous when she saw Si Xingpei's back.

"Fang is the eldest young marshal, has Miss Gu seen him?" Hua Yan asked Gu Qingzhou, covering up.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said lightly, "I've seen it a few times in the company's mansion."

Hua Yan nodded, and said nothing more, bypassing the conference hall in front of the governor's mansion, and entering the inner courtyard directly through an arch.

"There is a small road here, let's walk over it, we don't need to take a detour." Mrs. Wu said.

She took Gu Qingzhou and entered through the path at the arch.

The Overseer's House is a rockery pond with a quiet environment.

Huayan's yard is located in the most southwest corner, near the back door, a two-story building with a small yard.

The yard is small and only two peach trees are planted, which are luxuriant in this season.

The floor is covered with blue bricks and swept clean; under the eaves in the southwest, there are tables and chairs of boxwood, which should be used for playing chess at dusk.

Hua Yan's bedroom was on the second floor, and it was very clean and airy.

"Look, there will be no humidity in this room." Hua Yan said.

Gu Qingzhou pondered slightly.

She stood in Hua Yan's room and looked at the surrounding environment: it was ventilated and quiet, and it was difficult to get infected with heat and humidity.

After ruling out the environmental problem, Gu Qingzhou almost knew the root of Huayan's problem.

At this time, Gu Qingzhou could be diagnosed.

"Wife fifth, do you like to drink?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

"I don't like it very much, I drink it occasionally. The Overseer loves to drink. Sometimes when he comes over for dinner, I will accompany him for a few sips." Hua Yan said.

In fact, Hua Yan is very fond of drinking, and the amount of alcohol is also very large. Of course, he is still a little bit closer to being addicted to alcohol.

She felt that drinking might not be good, so Gu Qingzhou asked, she was embarrassed to lie and didn't want to tell Gu Qingzhou.

"Then your abdominal pain is caused by drinking." Gu Qingzhou still said.

Even if Hua Yan refused to admit it, Gu Qingzhou could see it.

Hua Yan couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that drinking would make her sick. When she was a child, her grandfather and grandmother often said that alcohol cures all diseases.

Hua Yan wondered: "But, I also drink a few cups when I was a child, why did I only get sick in the last six months?"

"You are from the north, right?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Hanahiko nodded.

She was born in the northern country, her family was wealthy when she was young, and she was a small wealthy businessman in the local area.

It's a pity that there are military disasters every year, and the business is completely regretted. That **** commander wants her to be a concubine. Hua Yan's father disagreed, and ran to the south with his family overnight.

When I ran away, I only brought gold and silver with me, and I lost a lot of house title deeds.

After arriving in the south, Hua Yan went to school and his father resumed business.

How do you know that the always shrewd father was actually deceived, and all his family wealth was compensated.

Hua Yan's father could not bear such a failure, and fell ill with anger.

Within two months of his illness, he left, leaving behind a large family of orphans and widows.

Hua Yan is the eldest daughter in the family and has five younger brothers and younger sisters. After graduating from middle school, she gave up the idea of ​​studying abroad and worked as a small editor for a newspaper to make money to support her family.

During an interview, her camera hit the commander's face, and the commander knew her.

She was scared to death, but the commander-in-chief laughed.

Later, she was taken into the house by the governor and became the concubine of the Si family.

Before that, Hua Yan was still an independent woman, but then she gave up completely and lived a pampered life. Sometimes she thought about it and felt a little unwilling.

"You're not very used to the plum rain in the southern part of the country. When the plum rain season comes, you are heavy. Especially during that time, you like to use wine to ward off cold and dampness, right?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

Hua Yan exclaimed: "Indeed."

Every time he was heavy, Hana Yan would drink to relieve it.

"Because of alcoholism and the dampness of the rainy season, the dampness in your body causes dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder. The dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder will accumulate in the middle Jiao, and the Qi mechanism will be blocked and abdominal pain will occur.

Pancreatitis in Western medicine only treats the symptoms when you have pain. If the dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder are not eliminated, if the cause of your disease is not eliminated, it will recur. "Gu Qingzhou said truthfully.

Hua Yan's pulse was thin and counted, which should be due to dampness and heat in her body. Gu Qingzhou was afraid that it was an external cause, so she brought some medicines that could remove dampness, and prepared to put it in her room.

Now, it doesn't seem to work at all.

"Can that be cured?" Hua Yan asked nervously.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

"Do you want to quit drinking?" Hua Yan asked again.

"You must quit." Gu Qingzhou said.

Hua Yan frowned.

Gu Qingzhou gave her a prescription and asked her to take five doses, one a day.

Hua Yan took it and took a closer look. The prescription said: "Five coins of betel nut, three coins of Magnolia, three coins of grass fruit, five coins of Zhimu, five coins of Hangbaishaoyao, five coins of astragalus... .."

In total, there are more than a dozen medicinal herbs.

Hua Yan recalled the bitterness of eating Chinese medicine, and couldn't help frowning again.

Gu Qingzhou was sitting on the sofa in Hua Yan's room and suddenly asked, "My aunt, how many maids do you use in this room?"

Hua Yan was puzzled, looked up from the prescription, and said, "Four, what's wrong?"

"Do you trust them?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Hua Yan was silent, smiled covertly, and continued to look at the prescription.

trust?

Big families live their lives without trust.

Gu Qingzhou said again: "Then let me put it another way, do you suspect that they will harm you?"

When Hua Yan heard the words, his face sank slightly.

To be honest, she didn't trust these maids, and even suspected that they were the eyeliners of others.

Hua Yan also used a method to catch their handle, but one of them was caught, but it was just a steal, so he was exchanged out and another came in.

She felt that she was deceived, as if her loyalty had been changed, but instead she came in with another eyeliner.

In their own room, everyone wants to be clean, and would rather serve less.

She also told the lady, but unfortunately the lady did not agree.

The madam said that the Overseer's Mansion had its own rules for living, and the number of servants was reduced for no reason, which made the madam embarrassed.

"They... shouldn't dare..." Hua Yan's voice was inaudible.

Gu Qingzhou said: "In this way, I will give you a simple idea to test the loyalty of the servant."

Hanahiko is very interested.

Gu Qingzhou said again: "I didn't come up with an idea in vain, I'll give you an address, and you can get the medicine. If my method works, you can take this address and send a few hundred dollars to thank the pharmacy. life-saving medicine.”

For the favored concubine of the military government, a few hundred dollars is naturally a small matter.

"Okay." Hua Yan pondered and agreed.

Gu Qingzhou told her the address of "He's Pharmacy" and asked her to take the prescription to get the medicine.

Then, Gu Qingzhou whispered a few words in Hua Yan's ear, asking her how to test it.

Hanahiko remembered.

After finishing speaking, Gu Qingzhou left the inner courtyard of the military government.

As soon as she walked near the arch, Gu Qingzhou remembered that Hua Yan was taking her down the path, but she ran into Simu who entered the door.

Between the arch and the corridor, there is a small path paved with stones, not a real road, but a temporary construction for copying, which can only accommodate one person.

It rained a few days ago, and the surroundings were full of wet mud. When Gu Qingzhou walked halfway carefully, Simu came towards him.

The two met on a narrow road, and it was difficult to get around. Simu seemed to be waiting for Gu Qingzhou to stand in the mud next to him, or to retreat.

However, Gu Qingzhou's side is farther away, and it is shorter for Simu to retreat. She thinks it should be Simu, so she waits.

She was wearing cloth shoes, a pair of white snow silk shoes embroidered with mandarin ducks, and she would never let them go into the mud. As soon as it got wet, her shoes were ruined.

After a stalemate, the two of them were waiting for the other to step back. Simu leaned over and grabbed Gu Qingzhou's waist with both hands.

"Ah!" Gu Qing was shocked.

In exclamation, Simu picked up Gu Qingzhou, and when he turned around, the two changed directions.

Simu solved the problem very simply.

Gu Qingzhou was shocked and sweated.

After changing directions, Simu's face was expressionless, and there was no ripple in his eyes. He didn't even look at Gu Qingzhou, so he turned around and continued to walk.

Gu Qingzhou patted the frightened Fu Xie's heart and was stunned for a moment. What happened just now has no sense of reality, and Gu Qingzhou walked out in a daze.

When she went back, she remembered the scene just now, and she still couldn't believe it. She didn't expect Simu to pick her up like that.

According to Simu's character, he should quit and get out of the way.

Gu Qingzhou felt very strange.

Not only Gu Qingzhou was impressed by that scene, but Si Qiongzhi, who was standing under the flower tree in the distance, also saw it and was shocked.

Si Qiongzhi knew his brother, and his actions just now seemed to be detours, but in fact it was a bit playful.

There is absolutely no need for Simu to do this, he can even stand in the mud, and his military boots will not get dirty.

He picked up Gu Qingzhou, playing with kindness.

Si Qiongzhi knew that Si Mu didn't hate Gu Qingzhou!

If he hates it, Simu will probably retreat directly to the archway and let Gu Qingzhou go there instead of going around so intimately.

Si Mu is a gentleman, he does things with grace, if it is Si Xingpei, it is estimated that he will directly push the blocker into the mud next to him, but Si Mu will not.

"How can this happen? Second brother should hate Gu Qingzhou very much!" Si Qiongzhi was confused and worried at the same time.

Gu Qingzhou won't really be her sister-in-law, will she?

Mrs. Si likes Gu Qingzhou, and so does the military governor. If Si Mu also likes her, this marriage is a certainty!

But Si Qiongzhi and her mother hate Gu Qingzhou!

What qualifications does Gu Qingzhou have to become the future mistress of the Overseer's Mansion?

"Second brother won't be so blind, right?" Si Qiongzhi was frightened.

It's impossible, her second brother's first love is a peerless beauty, and Gu Qingzhou, a bum, can't compare!

If a person loves roses alone, he doesn't like chopped green onions, right?

"Miss Gu, what are you doing today?" Si Qiongzhi asked the maid who followed her.

The maid said, "I don't know yet."

"Go check it out!" Si Qiongzhi snapped.

The maid was startled, whispered yes, turned around and ran away.
