Xiao Ming prepared the prescription and handed it over to the pharmaceutical office, and the lobby became quiet. Tan and her daughter did not leave immediately. Instead, they sat aside and waited quietly, obviously intending to leave after getting the medicine.
"I didn't expect that Dr. Xiao's skin would be so good at such a young age, but what kind of secret recipe did he use?" Mrs. Tan looked at Xiao Ming's enviable face and finally couldn't help but extend her hand.
Tan couldn't help but sigh when she thought of her daughter, who she had raised with so much care and poured in so much money, only to end up with such a scarred face.
well! You have to be patient when comparing goods, but you have to die when comparing people to others!
The same age, different circumstances, why is there such a big gap between the two of them.
Not only Mrs. Tan felt deeply in her heart, but also Liu Qingling, who was clinging to her side, had complicated emotions, including all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"I'm just taking advantage of my young age." Xiao Ming responded lightly, with a flat tone. There was no kindness that Tan hoped for, and it was not the answer that Tan wanted.
"Madam, you are very charming. I think you will be famous all over the world when you are young." As he spoke, he glanced at the medicine cabinet from the corner of his eye. Several capable young monks were busy in an orderly manner. These people were obviously specially trained. So skillful at catching medicine.
However, the preparation of a medicine pack is not completed yet.
Hurry!
Xiao Ming flipped through the medical books for a while without taking the initiative to strike up a conversation. For some reason, looking at Mrs. Tan's warm spring breeze and her gentle and touching tone, Xiao Ming felt a chill in her heart. Mrs. Tan's smile was like Like a knife.
Even if the other party comes from the powerful Liu family, Xiao Ming has no need to please and fawn over, let alone make friends with him. On the contrary, she felt an indescribable rejection of Mr. Tan deep down in her heart. She could even hear the perfunctory hypocrisy in Mr. Tan's gentle words.
One word: 'fake'.
Tan and Liu Qingling are completely different. Liu Qingling is young and has a temper that is rarely exposed when doing things. Xiao Ming can sense Liu Qingling's temperament based on the subtle changes on her face.
But the Tan family is different. It is obvious that the Tan family is better at hiding herself, cunning and maneuvering.
"Haha!" Mrs. Tan pursed her lips and smiled. Although she was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Ming's attitude, she still responded with her signature pleasant expression.
This Xiao Ming really can't speak.
Why rely on youth, her daughter is the same age.
But Xiao Ming really guessed it right. Mrs. Tan really looked down upon Xiao Ming, and her usual pleasant appearance was just a protective color she had developed over the years of running the house.
This kind of protection earned her a virtuous and tolerant reputation in Beijing.
She smiled at everyone who pleased her or offended her, but afterwards those who offended her would get the fate they deserved.
The Tan family was born in a famous family and married a powerful member of the Liu family, so there was no need to be kind to a junior sister of Master Mingzhen whose origin was unknown. She just wanted something beneficial to herself while waiting.
"I heard that there is a beauty ointment called Xueyan Ni that can make people's skin look like jade. I wonder if Dr. Xiao can prepare it here?"
Mrs. Tan became excited when she thought of Xue Yan Ni. Xue Yan Ni is an almost miraculous thing that can make people's skin as silky as jade and as white as translucent. It is said that this thing came from Su, the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhen. She had been lucky enough to receive a small box as part of her dowry, and the effect had indeed made her ecstatic.
Unfortunately, there was only a small box. She searched all over the capital and could not find a second box.
This is a huge blow to Ms. Tan, who cares about appearance and cares about skin care. Moreover, she also has a daughter who urgently needs treatment to restore her youthful beauty.
Therefore, Tan's urgent need for snowy mud is unparalleled, but it is a pity that the good things have been ruined by the bitch.
The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion has it, the Chen family has it, but the Liu family that should have it the most doesn't have it~
The Liu family and the Duke of Zhenguo's government had always had political disagreements. Her father-in-law and the Chen family's second assistant often argued in the court until their faces turned red and their necks were thick. How could she do something like come to ask for help when they met with each other in war?
Today, I suddenly saw Xiao Ming, so Tan asked this question.
"Mom, how could she have the formula for snow-faced mud?" Liu Qingling pulled on Tan's clothes and asked dissatisfiedly why her mother had to talk so much to this dead girl.
It's so annoying to look like that.
Faced with her daughter's question, Mr. Tan smiled good-naturedly and said, "Dr. Xiao's skin is so good, even if he doesn't have snow-white mud, he will definitely have a good secret recipe for skin care!"
"Well, there's no secret recipe, I was born this way." We are born with beauty and it's hard to give up, so hit me!
I won’t give it to you if I have it! Do you think that just by treating me this way, you can become my snowy nudity?
Some people are like this. When they are in a high position, they never care about what others think, they never respect anyone, and they never look squarely at those with a lower status than them. They only know how to take and ask for anything, and even a slight show of kindness is a condescending gesture.
In their eyes, a small show of kindness is a gift, but they don't know that it is just another kind of look down on.
Make temporary friendships in order to get what you don't have.
Let me ask, who can truly have a friendship with such a person?
Her snowy face would rather wipe the feet of rough guy Chen Yuanze than you!
Tan's eyes darkened, she didn't expect Master Mingzhen's junior sister to be so unkind.
You're so arrogant. Do you know that you can't live long with such arrogance?
Arrogant and ignorant of etiquette. In an instant, Mrs. Tan gave Xiao Ming a certain place in her heart.
"Hmph!" Liu Qingling didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't refute it. Xiao Ming just looked better than her, so it was best to vent her anger with a soft hum.
Xiao Ming's three-sentence chat made Tan lose interest in exploring, and the Ci'en Hall became quiet again, with only the occasional sound of the young monks grinding medicine.
A young monk came in from the back hall, breaking the brief tranquility of the lobby.
Mrs. Tan looked at the person and stood up involuntarily, because she recognized this person. This person was the person who was serving Master Mingzhen.
Mrs. Tan felt a little excited in her heart, could it be...
Unexpectedly, the man did not stop beside her along the way. Instead, he walked straight to Xiao Ming, put his hands together and bowed, and said respectfully: "Doctor Xiao,
Master Mingzhen invites you!
I’m inviting Xiao Ming~
For Mrs. Tan, she felt not only disappointed but also unspeakably palpitated. It was actually Xiao Ming who came to invite Xiao Ming, not her.
Xiao Ming is really Master Mingzhen’s junior sister.
This conclusion gave Tan a mixed feeling. She had never seen it in person, so she only thought it was hearsay. She didn't expect that Xiao Ming was really Master Mingzhen's junior sister.
Xiao Ming also had a meal. Isn't Senior Brother receiving distinguished guests?
Let her go at this time, the guest has left?
"Oh, okay." Xiao Ming didn't hesitate, stood up, packed the medicine box, and left quickly. Instead of staying here to face this mother and daughter with eyes above their heads, it would be better to ask for a cup of tea from the senior brother.
