Shu Yao shook her head and smiled. She could see such scenes almost every day, which added a lot of laughter to the two marquises' mansions.

When Zhong Jiayi saw Shu Yao coming, his eyes lit up: "Sister Yao'er is here. The box is the birthday gift I prepared for you. Let's see if you like it?"

Shuwen curled his lips disdainfully: "It's two days late, so I'm so embarrassed to show off here." However, he really liked the Burmese scimitar that Zhong Jiayi gave him. Not only was it exquisite, it was as sharp as a dagger, and it was cut into iron like mud, but it was also inlaid with the majestic and fierce leopard carved from his favorite glass-type colorless jade. I wonder what this kid gave to his sister?

Shu Yao was not embarrassed, and smiled and opened the box handed over by Zijin, and couldn't move her eyes. In the box was a blooming jade lotus, and the petals were carved from a whole piece of white jade in pink. The stamens carved from the golden jade, the green jade lotus leaves and lotus stems were also inlaid with the lotus petals.

This reduced version of the lotus made people who saw it in the place exclaim: It’s so beautiful!

Shuwen's businessman's thinking immediately spread out: "Showing attentiveness is something that you have nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief. Dunzi, you said, "What kind of help do you want my sister to help you with when you have so much effort to prepare gifts? It's not a big trouble, right?"

Zhong Jiayi blushed: "When did I bother to prepare your birthday gift?" But today I really have something to ask for. Although this jade lotus is exquisite, it is definitely not as precious as the best medicine to remove aged scars, right? I was embarrassed to ask for such a precious medicine when I asked for it. Now that I was "exposure" by the book and article, Zhong Jiayi felt embarrassed.

Shu Yao laughed "Puchi" and said, "What's wrong with Brother Dunzi? When did you two bury each other like this since you were young? Why did you take Wen'er's words seriously today? If there is anything I can help, it's the same if it doesn't have this jade lotus."

Zhong Jiayi felt relieved all over. That's right, sister Yao'er treated herself as her own brother. She took the initiative to use scar removal medicine for herself that year? But the scar on her forehead was too shallow and small, and it was not worth wasting. Now he really needs it, so what's so guilty about speaking to her sister?

After the entanglement in my heart was eliminated, Zhong Jiayi immediately returned to his usual straightforwardness: "Sister Yao'er, I really came here today. I want to ask you for something from my sister. It's the medicine that can remove aged scars. Can I give it to me evenly?"

Shu Yao was stunned, then smiled and looked at Zhong Jiayi's left forehead: "Of course, I've said it to you a long time ago, where do you need to ask for it?" He is also a man at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Brother Dunzi is starting to pay attention to appearance and mind the shallow scar. Shu Yao smiled secretly: "I'll get it for you now."

Zhong Jiayi's face turned red again: "No... it's not for me. I am a man with shallow scars. How can I waste such good medicine? Yes, it was used by a girl. The wound was on her back, and it was said to be quite long."

Shuwen said "Ah---" and stretched his head curiously, "Girl use it? Hehe, what girl? I want our Prince Zhong to ask for medicine personally? Oh, it's wrong, it's hurt on the back? How could a girl get hurt on her back? You didn't use a whip from the prince, right?"

Shuwen has heard that once a maid climbed into the bed, and Zhong Jiayi was so angry that he took the belt beside the bed and sucked it. He didn't know what kind of pity for the fragrance and jade meant.

What do you mean? Zhong Jiayi was so angry that he glared at Shuwen. He just came back one day late? This guy was so angry that he always went against him today.

Seeing Shuyao looking at her smile, Zhong Jiayi became even more anxious and quickly explained: "Sister Yao'er, don't listen to his nonsense. The scars are black... It was left by that girl accidentally scratched by a rock when she was a child. What does it have to do with me?"

Shu Yao and his brothers are both sensitive and sensitive people, so naturally they did not ignore the word "Wu". The girl's surname is Wu? Haha. Looking at Zhong Jiayi's anxious and awkward look, she seemed to be very concerned, and that's the same. If she didn't care about it, how could she ask for medicine for her?

However, although Shuwen has a deep friendship with Zhong Jiayi, he doesn't like men to gossip like women the most. Secondly, Shuwen is now devoted to the civil and military imperial examinations, and he has to be busy with his family's business when he has free time. In addition, he is still young and has no idea about men and women's love affairs, so he has no interest in gossip. Shu Yao is a woman, so she is even less likely to ask such things.

Mrs. Jin was thinking about her just now. At this moment, the two wet nurses were feeding them puree, so she turned around and greeted Zhong Jiayi: "Do you stay in Beijing when you come back this time? Your grandmother has been talking about your marriage." Zhong Jiayi is a popular son-in-law among the children of aristocratic families and is also the future heir to the head of the Zhong family. If you are not yet determined, Zhong Jiayi's marriage has been decided long ago.

However, Duke Zhongguo was moved by the father-son atmosphere of the two marquises's enlightened approach and decided to consider his own preferences to a certain extent in Zhong Jiayi's marriage. Zhong Jiayi asked why he only "consider to a certain extent"? Duke Zhongguo immediately glared at him: "Do you think you have the calmness and ability of the Shujie brothers? Even Shuwen, who is two years younger than you, is more stable than you." Forget it, if you make an unreliable future mistress into the mansion, don't let Duke Zhongguo make a joke?

Zhong Jiayi was inexplicably upset when he heard the word "marriage". However, Mrs. Jin asked, but he still didn't dare to show any impatientness and responded in a regular manner: "This time I can only stay in Beijing for a few days. The errands in the southwest have not been completed yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after the New Year."

Zhong Jiayi had no great achievements in civil and military affairs, but he was flexible in his mind, dared to go to "partial gates", and was good at acting in a curve to achieve those difficult results and goals. This time he went to the southwest to help Prince Yong solve several problems that were not very important but very bad, and Prince Yong valued him, almost regarded him as the logistics manager of the capital city, so he applied to the emperor to borrow him for a while.

The main purpose of returning to Beijing these days is to report to the emperor about the garrison and reclamation of the capital, as well as raising and purchasing required items along the way, and to recruit some professional craftsmen. Of course, his own private purpose is to find Shu Yao to get rid of scars.

The old lady praised: "I heard that you are very capable now, and your grandmother can't stop smiling." Zhong Jiayi is the prince who inherits the title, but who doesn't like his descendants being capable and being valued by the court? Compared with this, getting married seems less urgent. A man has a family background and a title, and is capable and promising. Why don't he have a good marriage come to him and wait?

...

Zhong Jiayi and Shuwen were chatting with the old lady while waiting for Shu Yao to go back to Mingyueyuan to get medicine. Guan’s mother rushed in with a happy look on her face and said a few words in the old lady’s ear. The old lady was stunned for a moment, then she was overjoyed and came back to her senses: “Hurry up, I want to go over and take a look. Don’t look at the old lady’s older age, but she has no experience at all.”

Guan's mother hesitated and said, "The sun is getting big now. The big grandmother is taking care of her and has already ordered someone to invite the imperial physician to go. She specifically reminded the old lady to wait for news here with peace of mind. Look..."

Mrs. Jin waved her hand: "There are not many places to be sunbathed here, just hold an umbrella. If I don't go over and see where can I feel at ease? I can't sit still here." After saying that, the wet nurses, maids and women took care of Genggu and Dudu, and prepared to get up and leave.

Shuwen was blurred. This was his adopted mother, his elder sister-in-law took care of him, and he hired an imperial physician. Could it be that his elder mother was sick? But seeing that his grandmother and Guan's mother looked different, he said anxiously: "What happened and asked my grandmother to risk the sun? Who would want to hire an imperial physician when he was sick?" His adoptive father and his elder brother were not at home, and he was a man who could be in charge of the family. Of course, he could not ignore any matters.

Mrs. Jin was about to speak, but thinking that Zhong Jiayi was an outsider after all, and the matter was not yet confirmed, so how could he spread it? He smiled and said, "It's nothing. Your sister-in-law asked the imperial physician to take care of my mother and you. You are waiting for Yao'er here, and it's just right to play with Gungu and Dudu. They will have to wait for a while before they want to sleep."

Shuwen felt that there were too many loopholes in the old lady's words, but seeing that the old lady looked happy, there should be nothing bad to happen. I am afraid that she was too careful and replied with a smile: "Since that's the case, grandmother just go, please take good care of grandmother, mom, mom."

Unexpectedly, my grandmother hurried to the main courtyard here, and Shu Yao didn't come back for a long time. After waiting for a while, she saw Zijin holding a small porcelain bottle and handing it to Zhong Jiayi: "Class Zhong, our princess said that this medicine is applied once every three days. If it is serious, it is estimated that if it is three or four times, the scar will basically be invisible." Her mother Jinniang's face was so severely cut with a hairpin. She has only used the scars for so many years. Now her face is as smooth as jade. Who wouldn't know that there was a hideous scar on her face?

Zhong Jiayi was overjoyed. He just heard Shuwen telling Shuyao about removing scars from Jinniang. He was confident and full of expectations on the bottle of medicine with his opponent, and his face was full of bright smiles: "Thank you sister Yao'er on my behalf. I will thank you in person when I come back from the southwest."

This time he returned to Beijing for a short time, and there were still some things to deal with, and some elders were going to see him. Now holding the medicine bottle like a treasure, he even wanted to fly back to the southwest immediately. He didn't dare to stay for too long and said goodbye and left.

Shuwen didn't bother to send Zhong Jiayi out. Anyway, the two of them never paid attention to these false rituals when they came to each other's mansion and followed the back door. They hurriedly looked at Zi Jin and asked, "What happened? Hiring an imperial doctor is really just to regulate your body?" If this is true, Yao'er would have to hurry over?

Zi Jin smiled and said, "Which is a big happy event, the second master may have a little brother or little sister." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
