After Lu Qingtang and Ji Wenzhan returned to the room, they had breakfast with Zeng Ke.
Fortunately, the fuss hadn't lasted long, and the porridge and steamed buns were still steaming, but Ji Wenzhan didn't move a single bite.
When Lu Qingtang saw this, he asked: "Why don't you eat? Are you not used to it? Be more careful, this is what the servants eat."
Ji Wenzhan shook his head and said to her: "I want to say why did you let that person bully you just now and stuffed something into me so that I couldn't get rid of it, otherwise I would definitely beat her up. How could you let you be bullied?" People bully.”
Lu Qingtang swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and said to him: "We are ordinary people now, and we are investigating the truth and don't easily conflict with others. Besides, she deliberately found trouble because of Li Daqing. The bottom line of this matter is The reason still lies with Li Daqing."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of pickle and lowered her head to take a bite of the steamed bun.
Zeng Ke on the side said: "Brother, I think the second sister is right, you still have to be careful, otherwise there will be a big mess."
He took a sip of porridge and continued: "Although sometimes I can't help it, especially when I see Li Daqing squinting at Master Tang, but for the sake of the big plan, I still have to be careful."
Ji Wenzhan nodded and said, "That's it, but if they go too far, I still have to take action."
Lu Qingtang understood Ji Wenzhan's mood.
After all, they are brothers and sisters, and it is normal for them to become confused if they care.
She smiled and handed him a steamed bun, "Okay, I know, I will avoid danger. I will solve some small things by myself if I can solve them. Unless I encounter something that I can't handle well, I will definitely ask you. Helpful.”
Ji Wenzhan took the steamed bun and started eating it, and his face became much better.
Not long after, Li Daqing came and walked into the room anxiously.
The first sentence is, "Sister Hua, are you okay? Xiangmei didn't do anything to you, right?"
Lu Qingtang was drinking porridge and had a mouthful of mush. He was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Daqing's words.
Did Li Daqing know what just happened so quickly?
It's true that good things don't go out.
But this is a good thing. You can use this matter to get closer to Li Daqing, which will make it easier to talk.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingtang curled his lips, and started to cry regardless of the mush on his lips.
Li Daqing looked worried and quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "What's wrong with Hua Mei? Don't cry. Tell me what Xiangmei did to you. Tell me and I'll go find her to settle the score."
Lu Qingtang sniffed and was about to say something when he heard Ji Wenzhan say: "I was in the kitchen just now..."
"Forget it, Brother Daqing, it's all my fault. I'm new here and don't understand the rules. We will never eat eggs again. Please apologize to me and Xiangmei."
Lu Qingtang interrupted Ji Wenzhan's words, looking aggrieved.
As she spoke, she winked at Ji Wenzhan, who looked confused.
Zeng Ke echoed from the side: "Yes, yes, forget it, how can we newbies argue with the old people here."
The method of retreating into advancement was indeed effective, and Li Daqing was really angry.
He said to Lu Qingtang angrily: "Don't talk about Hua Mei like that. Since you agreed to marry me, you are my wife. How could my wife be bullied by others? I will go to Xiangmei to settle the score."
With that said, he stood up and was about to leave. As soon as he left the room, he met Xiangmei.
She walked forward with a smile, but before she could speak, she was scolded by Li Daqing.
Li Daqing's curse words were very unpleasant, which made Xiangmei, who was smiling, shed tears.
While Lu Qingtang was eating, he listened to Li Daqing curse, interjecting a few words from time to time.
"Brother Daqing, this is all my fault. It's none of Sister Xiangmei's business, so don't blame her."
"Sister Xiangmei is not reluctant to part with eggs, but she is afraid that you will dislike me if I gain weight. It is all for my own good, so don't blame her."
"Sister Xiangmei, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please don't bear grudges against me. I know Brother Daqing likes me and you're angry. At worst, I'll leave."
…
After some tea talk, Li Daqing became even more angry and directly warned Xiangmei not to get close to Lu Qingtang in the future. If he saw her bullying Lu Qingtang again in the future, he would drive her out of Yaowang Valley.
How could Xiangmei be willing to leave? The work here is easy and the wages are high. The old valley owner and the old lady are kind-hearted and no one would want to leave.
In order not to leave, Xiangmei promised Li Daqing that she would never bully Lu Qingtang again.
He was swearing, but when he looked at Lu Qingtang, his eyes were full of anger, and he wanted to eat her.
Lu Qingtang was smiling secretly while clearing away the dishes.
This Xiangmei's rank is so low, it would be overkill to compete with her.
After Xiangmei left in tears, Li Daqing began to comfort her, and his words of comfort were nothing more than drawing cakes.
From now on I will take you to the market town and buy you whatever you like.
When I go to the county next time for medical treatment, I will take you and buy you some clothes.
When I make a lot of money in the future, I will buy you a gold hairpin and make you the happiest woman.
Lu Qingtang's ears were numb when he heard it, but he still had to agree with him, praising him while talking over tea.
Tea talk is easy to do. Although I can't make it up casually, I can still manage to say it in a coherent manner.
It's just a bit difficult to praise him.
I want to praise him for his good looks, but I can't find anything good about him.
I wanted to praise him for being tall, but since he was about the same height as me, it sounded like I was praising myself.
I want to praise him for his talent, but he seems to only know a few words and can barely understand the meaning of the Three Character Classic, let alone basic poetry.
As for his financial ability and personality, it's even more of a mess. I really can't explain it.
But she remembered a theory about matchmakers praising people.
So he said to Li Daqing: "Brother Daqing, I know you are someone who knows how to live a good life. Don't we women just want to live a good life? And you are an honest and responsible person. I feel very secure and able to be with you." Working as a doctor in Yaowang Valley, I am very satisfied with such a good and stable income. If you don't dislike it, I want to marry you."
After hearing this, the wrinkles on Li Daqing's face blossomed and he immediately laughed, "Girl, don't worry, as long as you follow me, I will treat you well and I will never let you down in this life."
What follows is a crazy meal of eachother.
Lu Qingtang couldn't help but complain in his heart. He was so stingy, and he spat out his sweet words as if he was free of money. He was really a talkative person.
Li Daqing was made happy and left happily.
Then she can naturally go to Chaohui Hall to talk to him if she has anything to do.
But Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan were not idle either. When they had nothing to do, they chatted with the servants of Jinhuitang and gossiped about the mansion, but they gained nothing.
That afternoon, Lu Qingtang went to Chaohui Hall to chat with Li Daqing again.
She specially brought a handkerchief she bought in Weinan County so that she could make a token of love for Li Daqing and make him happy so that it would be easier to talk.
Li Daqing was doing a pulse test. When he saw Lu Qingtang coming, he quickly put down the pen in his hand and stood up to greet him.
Lu Qingtang walked forward with a smile and wiped his non-existent sweat with a handkerchief, "Brother Daqing, you see you are sweating, you must be very tired."
Li Daqing was stunned for a moment, "Where is the sweat? Will there be sweat this month?"
But then he changed his tune and said: "Sweating, sweating, I'm so hot that I'm going to die from it."
Lu Qingtang said angrily: "Don't say the word "death", people will feel distressed if they hear it."
After saying that, she felt like vomiting.
But these words were really helpful to Li Daqing. He was so happy after hearing this that he immediately put the veil in his arms and said he would not give it back to him.
Lu Qingtang curled his lips, feeling a little sad for the veil.
It's five cents a piece, just give it to an old man who is searching for money.
She sat aside and picked up the pulse case he had made and looked through it.
Remembering the purpose of his visit, he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Brother Daqing, how long have you been coming to Yaowang Valley?"
Li Daqing said with a smile: "It has been more than twenty years. I was still a few years old at that time. Thanks to the owner of the valley and the old lady for taking me in, otherwise I would have starved to death on the streets."
Lu Qingtang rolled his eyes inwardly after hearing this.
Who asked you about the latter? There is a lot of nonsense.
Although she was complaining in her heart, she still looked at him with a distressed face, "Brother Daqing, you are really wronged. I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Li Daqing smiled very happily, his face glowing red.
Lu Qingtang curled his lips and brought the topic back with a smile, "Brother Daqing, since you have been here for twenty years, you must know a lot of miracle doctors. I remember that more than twenty years ago, there was a man named Hua in Yaowang Valley. Doctor, I heard that he has great medical skills."
Li Daqing was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Aren't you from the north? How do you know what happened twenty years ago? Besides, I'm afraid you weren't even born twenty years ago."
Lu Qingtang had already thought of a countermeasure.
She smiled shyly, "To be honest with Brother Daqing, we didn't come to Nanzhou to wander around randomly. I have an uncle in Nanzhou, but it's a pity that my uncle has passed away and my aunt has remarried. We didn't know about it until we got here. . It’s embarrassing to go to the Wumen monster, so I didn’t tell you the details.”
Li Daqing nodded, and the smile returned to his eyes, "It's nothing, but I understand, normal people cherish face, and don't talk about disgraceful things like remarriage."
He paused and then said: "But you are right. There was indeed a doctor named Hua more than 20 years ago, and his medical skills were good. But this is not the only one named Hua. Our old lady is also named Hua."
Lu Qingtang was a little confused, "Old Madam?"
Li Daqing nodded, "Yes, our Valley Master's wife's surname is Hua."
Lu Qingtang muttered in his heart.
The old lady must have been in her forties twenty years ago. It was definitely not her.
So she asked again: "What is the name of the miracle doctor named Hua? Is it Hua Rou?"
Li Daqing immediately shook his head, "No, it's a beggar..."
Before he finished speaking, someone came over to borrow something, interrupting Li Daqing's words.
