Manna dressed up carefully and went to the restaurant where she and her mother agreed to meet the second young master of the Meng family, but after waiting for a long time, the second young master of the Meng family did not appear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Granny Cui ran over in a hurry and said, "Oh, you two have been waiting for a long time." She hurriedly poured a glass of water, drank a bowl violently, and said, "I'm sorry, there are some things temporary, the second young master of the Meng family can't come over, it's all my fault, let you two wait here for a long time." ”
Ke Mu said: "Don't worry, Sister Cui, you speak slowly." What's going on? Didn't you say it before?"
"Not really. I just suddenly had something to do and couldn't come, you said it was too unusual. ”
Manna seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and said, "Sister Cui, I understand, or next time." Manna couldn't wait to be like a slippery loach all the time, so she quickly escaped from here, and said as she walked: "The tea here has already been paid, mother, you can talk to Sister Cui more." ”
"Well, where are you going, Manna?" Before Ke Mu could react, Manna slipped away.
"I'm going to wander the streets and I'll be back later. ”
"This kid ......"
Manna had just come out of the restaurant. "Miss Manna, please stay. ”
Suddenly a voice came from behind her, Manna stopped, only to see a man dressed as a butler coming up, behind him there were four palanquin men carrying a palanquin, Manna was strange, and said, "Call me? Who are you?"
"Oh, I am the steward of the Xiangguo Father, my master wants to see Miss, and I ask Miss to come with me. ”
"Lord Xiangguo, I have never met Xiangguogong, why are you looking for me?"
"The villain doesn't know, but the young lady will know when she goes. ”
Manna hesitated, but when she thought about the summons of Lord Xiangguo, if she didn't go, it would be a big crime. She got into the sedan chair nervously, thinking crankily along the way, for fear that she had made some mistake.
The sedan chair walked a long way, stopped twice halfway, and finally got off the sedan chair, and the steward lifted the curtain and said, "Miss Manna, please get off the sedan chair." ”
Manna got off the sedan chair, and what appeared in front of her was a sparsely eyed, but clean and chic restaurant, Manna said, "Where is this?"
"Miss Manna, please come inside, your lord is waiting in the hall. ”
Manna was confused until the so-called Sangkoku-sama appeared in front of her. She hurriedly said: "The courtier Komana knocks on Lord Xiangguo." ”
"Hurry up. ”
It turned out to be him! Manna didn't expect that the former Marquis was the current Lord Xiangguo.
"Manna seems to have worked very hard for more than a year, she has lost a lot of weight, and her complexion does not look good. Why didn't you take good care of yourself? ”
Glercontai learned from the palace that Kemanna had returned to the city, and after the farewell of the Fuji Pavilion, every time he saw Gele Changyu, he would often think of this girl, and her vitality and youthful face always rippled in his heart.
When he heard that she was back in the city, he suddenly couldn't wait to see her.
After returning to the city for many days, Manna has not slept well, has some acne spots, and her face does look very bad. Every time she saw Grecontai, she was very scared and worried, she stood far away from him, and said: "Marquis Lao, don't worry about the country, it is indeed a hard thing to travel to the doctor, but there is joy in suffering, Manna has gained a lot from it, the hard work is worth it, and it will get better after a while." Is everything going well with Lord Xiangguo, and Mrs. Xiangguo is okay?"
Seeing that Manna was standing far away from him, Glecontai said: "Madame is all right, speaking of which, Changyu and Madame are also teachers of the Fuji Pavilion, Madame and you can be regarded as senior sisters, according to this calculation, we are also half senior brothers and sisters." There are no outsiders here, and you don't have to be restrained, just sit down and watch tea. ”
Manna nodded, but never dared to look up at him. Years ago, every time she looked up at him, she happened to see him staring directly at her, and the fear and fear in her heart seemed to gather from all directions, until she was surrounded by her whole body.
Grecontay, on the other hand, thinks that it is Manna's natural shyness, which makes him amused. He said, "When the doctor returns, what are you going to do next?"
"Oh, the courtier's daughter wants to help her father take care of the family's business with peace of mind. ”
"How can this work, if you work hard to travel to medicine and return from your studies, if you are not a medical officer, wouldn't it be a waste of talent. ”
"Manna is only a young student, and besides, my parents are old, and I am the only daughter, and I need to take care of them at home. "Even if Manna goes to the Fuji Pavilion to get the title of medical officer, it is not easy to enter the palace to get the position of medical officer, if she opens a medical clinic by herself, it requires a lot of cost investment, and she herself is not able to come up with so much money, although Father Ke is rich to help Manna, but her parents are old, and Manna does not want to spend her parents' hard-earned money.
"You're humble. Otherwise, you can help me, come to my medical hall and you will be a medical officer, I just don't have a talent like you here. ”
"This ...... Thank you for your kindness, Manna is a shallow learner, but it is difficult to take responsibility. Manna declined.
"Why should Manna be too modest, many of the medical officers in my hospital are inferior to you in my eyes, you are talented, you should play a role in the right place, the cloth business is inevitably running around, not suitable for girls. ”
Manna was also a little reluctant in her heart, after all, after studying all these years, medical skills were her strengths, and business was not her ambition, but if she wanted him to work in Glecontai, she would rather be in business.
She shirked again and said, "Lord Xiangguo is exalted, and Manna is just an ordinary medical student, a fledgling, and there are still many things to learn." Although it is hard to be in business, but with her father to teach her, Manna is also willing to inherit her father's business. ”
Manna's stubbornness is not the first time that Grecontai has been taught, more than a year ago in the Fuji Pavilion, Grecontai had advised her not to go to the doctor's tour, she stubbornly insisted on going, and now let her insist on practicing medicine, but she is stubborn to go into business, she is really too young, her heart is uncertain, and there will always be hardships for her to eat in the future.
Glecontai asked the butler to go to the treasury for five hundred taels, put it in front of Manna's table, and said, "If you are not willing to come to me, and I will not force it, then you can accept the five hundred taels, and you can open a medical clinic by yourself." ”
Manna was very surprised, and hurriedly refused: "Never, Manna is blessed with the love of Lord Xiangguo and has taken care of her many times, Manna has nothing to reciprocate, but Manna must not accept this money." ”
"Since you have nothing to repay, then you will take it, and if you take it, you will repay me. After saying that, Grekontai saw Manna's embarrassed face, so he said: "This is the hope that one of my elders has placed on a junior, and you must not let me down." ”
"This ......."
