The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 124 Notice something strange

Tang Peipei took out a total of one thousand taels today to do favors.

She knew that these people would not change their opinion of her because of her generosity, but this would prevent them from making trouble for her in the future.

As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

What she did today was not for any other reason, but just to hope that these people would feel a sense of gratitude and remember the little kindness she showed them whenever they encounter any problems in the future.

After Butler Mu distributed all the money, he went to the study room specially prepared for Tang Peipei.

"Madam, all the money has been distributed. I am here to get the prescription you mentioned."

Tang Peipei handed the prescription she had prepared in advance to Butler Mu.

For several consecutive days, Tang Peipei checked the account books of the general's mansion and finally finished reading them all.

Tang Peipei pinched her sore eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Shuang said, "Tell Madam not to be too tired, but you just won't listen."

After a few days of getting along, Xia Shuang felt that Tang Peipei was a master who was very easy to get along with. Tang Peipei never cared about the slightest mistake and never blamed the servants.

Xia Shuang likes her master Tang Peipei very much. After getting familiar with Tang Peipei, she speaks more casually.

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "I have finished reading these account books. There are no problems with them. I am familiar with most of them. Please ask Butler Mu to come and take these account books away."

Xia Shuang nodded and went out. When she came back, she had a teapot in her hand.

Tang Peipei asked curiously: "Xia Shuang, what did you take?"

Xia Shuang said, "This is a tea that nourishes the liver and improves eyesight. Madam, would you like to try it?" Then she poured a cup for Tang Peipei and handed it to her.

Tang Peipei took it and took a sip. It tasted slightly bitter, but also a little sweet.

Asked: "Is this chrysanthemum tea?"

Xia Shuang replied: "Madam, there are chrysanthemum, wolfberry and cassia seed in it, but in order to cover up the bitter taste, some sugar is added."

Tang Peipei nodded, thinking it was indeed good for nourishing the liver and improving eyesight, so she took another sip.

“In fact, it’s better to not add sugar.”

Xia Shuang responded: "Then I will ask them not to add sugar next time."

Tang Peipei put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "How is mother these days?"

Xia Shuang said, "The other day the princess's maid said that the princess felt that the general's mansion was a bit boring, so she took the young master to the princess's mansion and she hasn't come back yet."

Tang Peipei slapped her forehead. She had been so busy looking at the account books these days that she had forgotten about Xiaotuanzi. Fortunately, Princess Qinghe was there to keep her company.

Tang Peipei stood up and said, "Get ready, let's go to the Princess's Mansion to see mother."

Xia Shuang responded and went out to make arrangements.

When Tang Peipei arrived at the Princess's Mansion, Princess Qinghe was playing on the wooden horse with Xiaotuanzi in the garden.

Little Tuanzi hadn't seen his mother for several days. When he saw Tang Peipei coming, he kept asking Tang Peipei to hold him.

Tang Peipei hugged the little boy lovingly and kissed his face.

Princess Qinghe said in a complaining tone: "It is indeed my real mother. It was me, your grandmother, who took you out to play these days. I didn't expect that you would abandon me as soon as my real mother came." After saying this, she acted sad.

Tang Peipei quickly taught Xiaotuanzi, "Hurry, grandma is angry, go kiss her."

Little Tuanzi is now almost one year old and can understand a lot of words. When he heard Tang Peipei asking him to kiss his grandmother, he went over with the help of Tang Peipei and kissed Princess Qinghe on the face.

Princess Qinghe hugged the little girl like a baby and kissed her on the face several times.

Princess Qinghe said to Tang Peipei, "Sit down. Have you finished reading the account books?"

Tang Peipei felt a little embarrassed. She had spent several days looking at just a few account books.

He nodded gently and said, "I've finished reading it."

Princess Qinghe asked, "What's the problem?"

Tang Peipei thought for a moment and said, "Butler Mu manages the General's Mansion very well, and there is nothing wrong with the accounts."

Princess Qinghe said, "Well, Butler Mu is a vassal of our Mu family and has always been loyal to the Mu family. You can trust him. However, as the mistress of the general's mansion, you can't just ignore these things. You still have to take care of them. Otherwise, after a long time, these people will inevitably have some bad intentions."

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows."

Princess Qinghe continued to tease the little ball in her arms.

Tang Peipei didn't know if it was because Xiaotuanzi had been with Princess Qinghe these days, but she suddenly discovered that Xiaotuanzi seemed to look very much like Princess Qinghe, especially her eyebrows and eyes.

Just as Tang Peipei was feeling confused, Princess Qinghe spoke up, "Little Tuanzi will be one year old in a few days, and I wanted to give him a big celebration. But now the epidemic in Qianzhou is serious, and if we hold a big celebration, it will be noticed by those censors and cause trouble again."

Speaking of this, Princess Qinghe couldn't help but feel a little regretful, after all, this was the first eldest grandson of the Mu family.

Tang Peipei said, "Mother, I didn't plan to make a big deal about Little Tuanzi's birthday from the beginning. After all, Little Tuanzi is not the real grandson of the Mu family. I am very grateful that you and Jintang can accept Little Tuanzi. However, in order to avoid gossip, Little Tuanzi should be kept low-key. I don't want you and Jintang to be criticized because of Little Tuanzi."

If this happened in modern times, people might be more willing to accept it. But here, it is still hard to say.

When Princess Zhiqing He heard Tang Peipei say this, she asked anxiously, "Who said that little Tuanzi is not the grandson of our Mu family? I want to see who dares to criticize our Mu family?"

Some words are said unintentionally but may be taken seriously by the listener.

Tang Peipei instantly sensed the difference in Princess Qinghe's words. Although she had been puzzled before, she always thought it was because Princess Qinghe was kind-hearted.

But looking at it today, maybe there is something she doesn't know?

But Tang Peipei didn't dare to ask Princess Qinghe directly, so she could only wait for Mu Jintang to come back and ask him clearly.

Princess Qinghe knew that she seemed to be a little excited, so she calmed down and said, "Pei Pei, since you are married to our Mu family, your child is our Mu family's child. In the future, you must never say that little Tuanzi is not the grandson of the Mu family." She said earnestly, "Little Tuanzi is still young and doesn't understand anything. When he grows up, what if you keep saying that he is not the grandson of the Mu family and he doesn't want to be close to us?"

Hearing Princess Qinghe say this, Tang Peipei felt a little shaken again. Was he overthinking?

Tang Peipei no longer worried about this matter, thinking that he would figure it out later anyway.

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Mother, I know about this and will not say it again. However, since the current situation does not allow Xiaotuanzi to have a big birthday party, why not invite a few relatives to celebrate?"

Princess Qinghe said, "I think so too. When the time comes, invite your family members. Although we can't have a big party, we still have to celebrate Xiaotuanzi's birthday in a lively manner. By the way, remember to make a birthday cake for Xiaotuanzi. I remember you said before, which cake is the best for birthdays?"

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Okay, my daughter-in-law will make a big birthday cake for me then."

At this time, a maid came in and said, "Princess, there is news from the palace that the epidemic in Qianzhou is difficult to control, and the emperor is posting an imperial edict to recruit capable doctors from all over the world to go to Qianzhou."
