Seeing the housekeeper in front of the prefect's wife leading Xiao Ming into the house like a slave, how could Zhou Lianrong not be angry or jealous? None of her slaves, the daughter of the richest man in Pingcheng, would treat her differently. Zhi Yinzi fawned over these dog slaves, but she didn't see the old slave fawning over her and bringing her into the house, but he actually kowtowed to a little peasant girl. How could she not be jealous?
The appearance came from the heart, and Zhou Lianrong's face suddenly became ugly.
"Is that the little girl?" Zhou's mother, Mrs. Huang, poked her head out and asked. She only had time to see the back, and she sighed repeatedly. It was very honorable for the prefect's wife to pay so much attention to her.
She had only heard of his name before but never met him in person. Today, it was rare for her to see him and she wanted to make acquaintance with him.
Even though she belongs to the richest family in Pingcheng, she is a remarkable person in the eyes of ordinary people, but Huang knows in her heart that she is not a high-ranking person in the eyes of official families like the Xu family. No matter how much money and valuables are sent in, she can only It will make people think it is copper-smelling filth.
Therefore, Mrs. Xu is willing to give face to Xiao Ming but is not willing to treat the Zhou family differently.
"I didn't expect it was her! She looks like a nice little girl." Mrs. Xu Huang looked at the little figure entering the house and praised her.
"What's good? It's not appropriate to show up in public at such a young age." Zhou Lianrong retorted with a dark face, feeling unhappy when she thought of the hosta she missed last year.
It was Brother Shun who promised to buy it for her, but Xiao Ming got it. Such an expensive hairpin was something she, a country girl, could afford to wear.
Ms. Huang didn't know about the unhappiness between her daughter and Xiao Ming last year. She just thought her daughter was having a temper. She nodded her daughter's smooth forehead angrily and said, "You! This competitive temperament needs to be corrected." Yes, I will meet you when I enter the house and treat you well. It has been more than a year since you married into the Liu family."
It's okay that Mrs. Huang didn't mention it, but the mention made Zhou Lianrong's already bad face look even worse. She had been married for more than a year and still didn't have a son and a half, which was enough to bother her.
What does mother mean? Let her ask Xiao Ming?
Impossible, don’t ever think about it~
"She's just a medical woman. What's so good about her? Madam only values her because of her good medical skills. Maybe it's a blind cat that has met a dead mouse."
Mrs. Huang was startled when she heard this. She quickly held her daughter's mouth and said harshly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You don't even know what day it is and where you are?" Her daughter's impulsiveness is terrible. Really, I didn’t even look where I was. Although I was in a carriage, how could I let outsiders listen to the people coming and going outside?
Who is the blind cat? Who is a dead rat.
In front of her mother, Zhou Lianrong did not maintain her usual pride and self-control. Now that she was scolded by her mother, she also knew that she had made a mistake. After a while, she explained in a low voice: "I just said it casually. How old is Xiao Ming? What medical skills does she know? Brother Shun said that he had never seen her cure diseases and save people before when he was in the village. It seems that she has only developed her medical skills in the past two years. Being able to cure Mrs. Xu is really just luck. "
Even if she beat him to death, she wouldn't believe that Xiao Ming had this strength.
This was a matter of face. She was unwilling to accept that she was inferior to Xiao Ming.
"You, it doesn't matter how long she has been studying medicine, as long as she can cure things that ordinary people can't. Look at Ms. Xu, she hasn't had a child in ten years, and once she took her medicine, she gave birth to a big fat boy. Don't be like that. Stubborn, I must let her show you and give birth to a baby as soon as possible."
In Huang's view, Xiao Ming is just a medical girl. As long as she spends some money, she will treat her daughter's illness.
The most indispensable thing for their Zhou family is money.
But she didn't expect that her daughter would actually be reluctant. Seeing her daughter as a stubborn cow, she felt worried. After getting married for more than a year, there was no movement in her stomach. Although the Liu family did not dare to complain, she was anxious. ah! The first child born to a daughter will inherit the Zhou family's property.
"You are of the same age, it would be good to make more friends in the future." Finally, Mrs. Huang looked at her daughter and comforted her.
Zhou Lianrong sat aside angrily and said nothing. She was also anxious that she could not give birth to a child, but she was really unwilling to beg Xiao Ming.
She couldn't like Xiao Ming since the first time. She felt that this person was very annoying. A farm girl with no father and mother was exposed and walked outside all day long. So what if she knew some medical skills? It was nothing special.
With her calm and noble attitude, she was more elegant than a real lady. She didn't like it from the bottom of her heart. She was a poor girl. How could she pretend to be so? And she could never forget the scene where Xiao Ming used poison. The two people in the family The slave was tortured severely for three days. Thinking about it now, she gets chills all over and has nightmares every time she thinks about it.
So vicious at a young age.
"She's not the only doctor in the world. I wouldn't look for her if I looked for anyone else." Finally, Zhou Lianrong said with a pout.
Once again, Zhou Lianrong shook her head firmly and refused to go.
Mrs. Huang looked at her daughter's appearance and shook her head helplessly. She had already made up her mind to ask Xiao Ming to show her daughter later. How could a daughter not be born at such a young age?
The 100-day banquet held by the magistrate's direct son was a lively event in Pingcheng. The male guests who came to attend the banquet were ushered into the front yard and hosted by the magistrate himself, while the female relatives of each family were hosted by the head wife Xu. Pick up.
The back garden is where Mrs. Xu entertains her women. Mrs. Xu specially put a lot of thought into the layout of the back garden for today's banquet. Not only did she have the back garden renovated in advance, but she also dug new canals and built The courtyard is specially filled with blooming chrysanthemums of various colors, many of which are rare and famous flower species. Coupled with countless exotic flowers and herbs, the whole garden is filled with fragrant flowers and beautiful pavilions. Closed, people can enjoy the beautiful scenery while watching the ceremony.
Perhaps this was Xu's move to use her son's 100-day banquet to show off her status as mistress. After ten years of silence, once she gained power, she could finally be proud and proud, telling the world who the real master of the Peng Mansion was.
The housekeeper took Xiao Ming into the back garden of Peng Mansion and stopped at the hanging flower gate. She could not go any further, and she did not dare to go any further. Now the rules of the house are even stricter. No one is summoned without summons. Anyone who enters a place that is not allowed will be punished.
Today, the back garden is where the lady entertains guests. The second stewards are not allowed to enter at will, lest they bump into the distinguished guests.
The mother-in-law stood by the hanging flower door and stretched her neck to look in. She licked her face and said with a smile, "Doctor Xiao, please wait a moment. Someone will come to pick you up soon."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a girl wearing azure clothes walking quickly: "Dr. Xiao is here, please come in quickly. Madam has been talking about you all morning, so you are here." I want to meet more like-minded people. Let’s chat about “The Good Doctor”, follow “Youdu Literature” on WeChat, talk about life, and find close friends~
