Chapter 227: People's Hearts (Part 2)

In the evening of the next day, Xue Ling and Bi Liu arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.

Xue Ling stepped forward and knocked on the shiny copper door knocker, a small door opened above the main door, and a middle-aged man poked his head out: "Who are you two girls looking for?"

"This is Zhao's Mansion?" Xue Ling said coldly, "Can Miss Hongxiu live here?"

"Young Madam?" The middle-aged man said, "What are the two girls looking for, Young Madam?"

"We are her sisters, please inform me." Xue Ling took out a greeting card from her sleeve and handed it over.

The porter took it, said "please wait a moment", and closed the small door.

Xue Ling looked at the gate and said, "This Captain Zhao seems to have a very rich family background."

The captain is a small officer in charge of arresting robbers in the city, similar to the captain of the criminal police in later generations, neither high nor low, logically speaking, there is not so much money to buy such a big house.

"It should be from a wealthy family." Bi Liu said.

The two discussed for a while, and the door creaked open, and a graceful young woman in brocade clothes stood inside the door, looked at them with a smile, and came out to greet them: "Sister Bi Liu, Sister Xue Ling."

The four maids in colorful clothes behind her came out together and surrounded her.

When Bi Liu and Xue Ling greeted each other, the young woman in brocade clothes hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile, "Come in and talk!"

She is beautiful and has an elegant and pleasant temperament. She is Hongxiu, the former girl of Yaoyuelou.

At this time, she was beaming and smiling like a flower.

When she first entered Yaoyue Tower, her parents died and she had no relatives, so she sold herself to bury her parents.

She usually feels lonely, and she is very envious when she sees that other people have parents, brothers and sisters. Suddenly, her companion from Yueyuelou came to visit, and she felt very kind and happy.

The three of them entered the gate, turned around the screen, passed through the three moon gates from the side of the hall, and came to the back garden.

The autumn wind is chilling, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom.

The three girls sat down in the kiosk, and a maid made tea beside them. They ate melons and fruits and chatted happily.

"I should pay my respects to the old lady first." Bi Liu said with a smile.

Hongxiu waved her hands and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, she went to uncle's house."

"Oh?" Bi Liu asked in surprise, "Why did you leave?"

"Maybe you think I'm an eyesore." Hongxiu smiled wryly, "Who made me commit a serious crime and cut off the incense of the Zhao family."

"Your husband is not the only one in his old Zhao family." Bi Liu said, "Your uncle is also there."

"So she went to live with uncle." Hongxiu shook her head and said, "Speaking of which, I am also unfilial, as if I forced my mother-in-law away."

"Then how about your husband?" Bi Liu said, "I won't be angry with you too, will I?"

"He—?" Hong Xiu smiled, "He's fine."

"That's good." Bi Liu said, "I heard that brother-in-law treats you worse than before."

"He is filial to his mother, there is no other way." Hongxiu said, "I don't blame him."

"That's good." Bi Liu nodded lightly: "The love is still there, so I won't be wronged with him."

Hongxiu took Bi Liu's hand: "Bi Liu, you should think of me as a warning, redeem yourself early, and don't wait until you are old to remarry."

"I'm still early." Bi Liu smiled.

Xueling said: "Sister Hongxiu, brother-in-law didn't bully you, did he?"

"Husband and wife are together, there are not many people who respect each other as guests, so it is inevitable to quarrel." Hongxiu said: "I will also be angry with him. Although he is a martial artist, he has never hit me."

"It seems that my brother-in-law is a good person." Xue Ling said with a smile, "What kind of official is he now?"

"Lieutenant, I'm not a big official, I'm busy all day long." Hongxiu shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll be exhausted when I get home."

"Then change my brother-in-law's official position." Xue Ling said.

Hongxiu smiled and said: "He is already very lucky to be an official. He has a straight temper, he doesn't know how to flatter, and he doesn't like his boss that much."

"So..." Xue Ling nodded slightly.

Bi Liu said: "Xue Ling, is there a way?"

"There is no way to do this. The Duke's Mansion and the City Guard's Mansion are not allowed to have any connections. The Young Master told me." Xue Ling spread her hands.

Hongxiu's bright eyes rolled, and he smiled and said, "Which young master?"

"The chief manager of the Duke's Mansion, Mr. Chuli Chu." Bi Liu said.

"Director Chu!" Hongxiu said in surprise, "Your name is astonishing. I often hear from Xianggong that Director Chu is a heavenly genius. He is already a second rank at a young age, and he is the fastest promoted in the Duke's Mansion."

Bi Liu smiled and said: "Director Chu is indeed a hero, Hongxiu sister doesn't seem to have endured much hardship, so the sisters can rest assured."

"It's not bad." Hongxiu sighed: "We are a group of weak girls, really lonely and helpless, it's okay to suffer a little bit."

Xueling said: "Why can't sister Hongxiu have children... I shouldn't ask this question, should I?"

Hongxiu shook his head bitterly: "The doctor said that he is weak, so he can't see anything else, so he can only take care of it slowly, and taking medicine all day long doesn't help."

"Come to the Duke's mansion some other day." Xueling said, "My lord has a very good relationship with Guo Gongfu of Baicaoyuan. I'll ask Mr. Guo to help you see it!"

"Okay!" Hongxiu hurriedly agreed.

She is going crazy now, she has no children, and she has no one to rely on for the rest of her life. When her husband and wife are old, they will not even have someone to die.

She used to like to go shopping and join in the fun, but now she doesn't leave the door all day long, and keeps herself at home. When she goes to the street and sees other people's children, her heart will throb with pain.

Whenever there is a glimmer of hope, she will seize it.

They got together and couldn't finish talking, when the lanterns first came on, Xueling and Bi Liu didn't stay for dinner, so they took their leave and left, agreeing that Hongxiu would go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow.

Not long after they left, Xiaowei Zhao, Hongxiu's father-in-law, returned home.

Xiaowei Zhao looks handsome, tall and tall. He entered the living room and sat down. Hongxiu personally served tea: "Sir, you are tired."

"It's pretty peaceful today." Captain Zhao sighed, "Did your sisters come here today?"

"Yes, Bi Liu, and Xue Ling from the Duke's Mansion."

"The Duke's Mansion?"

"President Chu's maid."

"What a big background, how did she come here?"

"She and Bi Liu are good friends, and Bi Liu is teaching her how to dance."

"It seems that your backstage is really the Duke's Mansion." Captain Zhao laughed.

"If you want to bully me in the future, I'll tell Sister Xueling!" Hong Xiu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Let her ask Director Chu to make the decision for me!"

"How dare I bully you!" Captain Zhao laughed.

"I want to go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow," Hong Xiuyou sat beside him, "Xueling said to help me find Guo Gongfeng from Baicaoyuan, Guo Gongfeng is a miracle doctor!"

"According to me, don't worry about it, just wait a few years, and just adopt one from the big brother." Zhao Xiaowei said.

"We are still young, Guo Gongfeng's medical skills are excellent, maybe we can be cured."

"...Oh, you, well, it's up to you!"

——

The next morning, Hong Xiu couldn't hold back her impatience, so she went to Bi Liu's house first, and then went to the Duke's mansion after reuniting.

Seeing her coming, Xueling invited Mr. Guo to the East Garden.

Guo Mulin looked at Chu Li's face and didn't refuse, so he came over to give Hong Xiu a pulse.

The three girls sat in the booth, staring at him with bright eyes.

Guo Mulin stroked his beard, frowned and said, "It's quite troublesome,...how about this, let your young master come back, and give her the Nine Pulse Transformation Technique."

"That's no problem." Xue Ling said, "Is it okay after using the Nine Pulse Transformation Technique?"

"She was congenitally weak, her meridians were weak, and her physique was poor. After changing her meridians nine times, she can find another way to cultivate her body and mind, and she will be almost ready."

"Thank you, Mr. Guo!" Hongxiu hurriedly said.

Guo Mulin waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me, Chu Lixing is the only one with the Nine Pulse Transformation Technique, if you want to thank him, thank him!"

Xue Ling said: "Then how long will it take for sister Hongxiu to get well?"

"After one month of operation, add medicine pill, it should be fine." Guo Mulin said: "Don't worry, if you don't have Chu Li, your illness will be helpless, and you will be unable to recover from it. There are nine times to change the pulse technique, and it's a piece of cake. dish!"

Hongxiu nodded excitedly.

Xueling smiled and said: "Sister Hongxiu, don't worry, the young master hasn't come back yet, I will notify you as soon as he comes back."

"Thank you sister Xueling!"

"Thank you for what." Xueling said with a smile: "From now on, sister Hongxiu, you will come here often, let's play together."

"Okay." Hongxiu smiled.
