Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Chen in surprise. The old lady had spoken and it was difficult for her to stay.
Mrs. Chen asked the girl to bring out another set of jade jewelry. It was definitely something extraordinary. The nanmu box was made of fine silk as the base. There were a pair of jade hairpins and five small pieces on each side of the top. A jade headdress, green earrings and pendants, a tassel necklace in the middle with a large emerald inlaid on it, a green and clear bracelet on each side of the necklace, and eight in the bottom row. A jade ring is a set of jewelry with the same color, as if it was polished from a piece of jade, which shows how precious it is.
All the jewelry is fixed in the jewelry box, which is bright and well-preserved, as if it is new.
Mrs. Liu saw that her always self-possessed expression had changed. Chen Ningke, who was standing quietly behind Mrs. Chen, changed her expression even more after seeing it. She lowered her head again. Maintaining her usual calm demeanor, she felt a little sad. She didn't expect her grandmother to take out this jewelry box. Her eldest sister, second sister, and several cousins didn't take it out when they got married. She thought she was leaving it to her, but now... ·
For a moment, she looked at Xiao Ming with an incomprehensible expression. She had always maintained her etiquette and status, and she couldn't bear to be jealous of Xiao Ming.
"Thank you very much, Doctor Xiao, for bringing me back my life these days. Please accept your kindness." Madam Chen pushed the jewelry box in front of Xiao Ming.
"I took this with me when I was young. I hope Doctor Xiao won't dislike it." Mrs. Chen said politely.
"This, the old lady is too polite. This is what Xiao Ming should do." Xiao Ming said, she obviously recognized the preciousness of this thing. This gift was too heavy and she couldn't bear it.
"This is too valuable, Xiao Ming can't accept it."
"What did Miss Xiao say? But please don't postpone it, Doctor Xiao." Mrs. Chen said, her tone was polite and insistent. It can be said that Xiao Ming saved her old lady's life.
"This... I'd better ask the old lady to take it back. Xiao Ming just did what she should do. The second lady has already paid the money." Xiao Ming refused. There must be a favor behind the too heavy gift that she couldn't bear. .
"The elder's gift is a gift, so just accept it, Doctor Xiao." Mrs. Liu reacted and tried to smooth things over, asking Xiao Ming to accept it.
"Sister Xiao Ming, just accept it. My grandmother has a lot of treasures," said Chen Yuanze, who was selling her grandmother.
Everyone········
"You monkey." Mrs. Chen laughed helplessly.
In the end, Xiao Ming postponed but accepted it shamelessly.
~~
After several juniors went out, Ms. Liu said: "Sister-in-law will be back in a few days. My wife has asked people to clean up the Linglan courtyard inside and outside. There are just a few things left by the previous eldest sister in Linglan courtyard." Girl, now that you are old, it is not suitable for you to stay in the house anymore, so this is not how you should deal with her."
In the Linglan Courtyard, there was a second-class girl left behind by her elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu. The four third-class girls were all old enough to be married, so it was against the rules to keep them around for a long time. She, a younger sister, should not have to take care of these things, but My sister-in-law is not at home all year round, so in the end it will fall on her.
Mrs. Chen half-squinted her eyes, completely losing her kind look just now, and glanced at the respectful second son and daughter-in-law.
"It only lasts two days, let's wait until your sister-in-law comes back."
Mrs. Liu paused. She was a compatriot from the same mother. After all, the old lady was partial to the eldest son. She originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of those few people and arrange for a few of her own men to go in. It was a pity...
"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law has one more thing she wants to discuss with mother." Ms. Liu hesitated.
"you say."
"Dr. Xiao has excellent medical skills and is a girl who can easily treat us at home. My daughter-in-law wants to ask her to stay in our Chen family and be our Chen family's personal doctor, so that someone can take care of our mother personally." Madam Liu looked at Chen The old lady discussed.
Besides, there are several ways to do this. One way is to use money to invite them. The salary and salary given by the Chen family are several times higher than other houses. The other way is to buy them as slaves from a noble family in Beijing. Which rich family doesn't have a servant who is even half-aware of medical skills?
Doctors invited from outside are never loyal to themselves.
Xiao Ming is very skilled at medicine despite her young age. With her staying in the house to take care of the old lady's health, they, as the younger generations, can feel more at ease. Besides, the girls in their backyard always have some unspeakable ailments in their daughter's family that they cannot tell outsiders about. It is more convenient to have a female doctor than a male doctor. The Chen family is not short of this little money. A few hundred taels of silver a year is a small amount.
It is precisely because Xiao Ming is young and offers a lot of money and inducements that it is impossible for him to fail.
"Let's forget about it, she may not be willing." Mrs. Chen originally had this idea, but after seeing her precious grandson's trust in Xiao Ming to the point of dependence, she became determined to separate them. My brother is still young and has not decided yet. After a few years, he will completely forget about it.
After being married to Xiao Ming for the past few days, she looked at her with cold eyes. Although this little girl was young, her ideas were very upright. She was Min Fangqi's junior sister. Forcing her to stay would be dangerous for her relationship with the Min family. , since she gave her such a generous gift, she hoped that she would never see her again, and hoped that Xiao Ming could understand with her heart.
If you don’t understand, don’t blame her...
Ms. Liu was puzzled and wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. Mrs. Chen was the king of the village and had a strong personality. It could be said that she was the master of everything in the house. No matter how big or small the affairs in the house were, she had to ask her for advice. As the master of the inner house, she was in name only. She had been trained for many years. His habit of obedience made Liu dare not speak nonsense.
"I am doing this for Brother Ze, he is still young." Mrs. Chen said meaningfully.
"Ah!" Ms. Liu was shocked. After she was not stupid, she naturally thought of the key point of the matter. Brother Ze, who had always been lawless, looked at Xiao Ming in a different light. He ran to Xiao Ming's yard every day, talking about his elder sister and elder sister. The short one is indeed inappropriate.
Could it be that I have taken a fancy to it.
Secretly, she hoped that Brother Ze would fall in love with Xiao Ming and marry Xiao Ming. Haha, the eldest brother's wife was so powerful that he kept suppressing their second wife. What would happen if the eldest brother's direct son married a country man?
Let the whole Hechun laugh at Chen Yuanze...
She seemed to see the gloomy face of the proud sister-in-law...
Ha ha!
But she only dared to think in her heart that the old lady would never let this happen.
Mrs. Liu was jealous of her eldest son again. The old lady usually doted on Brother Ze to the heavens, but now she gave Xiao Ming such expensive jewelry for him. She planned everything for Brother Ze.
"She is leaving tomorrow. Please take care of her and send her the necessary gifts in double copies. It is not safe for her as a little girl to go on the road. We will arrange for a few nursing mothers to escort her along the way." After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she closed the door. Keep your eyes open.
