165. Natsuhime's Troubled Times (5)
"Madam, the old servant has already done what you have explained!" the concubine immediately reported to Xia Ji.
"Is it Dr. Gongsun's business? I haven't explained anything! What does his injury have to do with our Xia family!" Xia Ji flatly denied.
"This ...... But Miss Liu'er said, "You asked us to put Dr. Gongsun in the mansion!" She also said that it was because Lord Gongsun was ......" Uncle Fei was shocked when she saw Xia Ji's unaware appearance, and as she spoke, she looked at Xia Nan with her eyes, and the confusion in her expression was very obvious.
"I was bitten by Nan'er's chasing shadow, right? It's really presumptuous! As a maid, I don't want to do my duty, and I dare to arrange my master! Chasing shadow was catching fish and playing in the pool in the front yard just now, we all saw it, where would we run to bite someone?"
Xia Ji said righteously, and then looked at Uncle Fei with meaningful eyes and said, "Uncle Concubine, do you understand what I mean?"
At this time, Chasing Ying was lying wet on the side basking in the sun, and it looked like he had just played in the water, and there was no trace left by the bite on his body.
โโฆโฆ The old servant understood. "Uncle Fei is not stupid, how can he not understand what his wife means? Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with his little master or not, he must take out his own family according to Mrs. Fangcai's caliber.
In fact, he himself meant this way. If Madame didn't say that, he would have to persuade her. The Xia family is the only seedling, so they can't protect him tightly! Anyway, Gongsun Ning is not a good product, and he should have been cleaned up a long time ago.
"Madam, Xiao Liu'er's ......" Uncle Yan believed her because Xiao Liu'er was Madame's personal maid, and she put her together. For such a betrayal of the lord, the concubine did not want her to continue to stay in Sima Mansion. It's just that I'm afraid that Mrs. will be merciful and reluctant.
"I'll take care of her business, so you don't have to worry about it. "Now is not the time to deal with Xiao Liu'er, otherwise who knows what rumors will spread!
"Madam, be careful of raising tigers!"
"Don't worry, I know it. Now come with me to see Gongsun-sama! Nan'er will stay here. โ
"Mother, I'm going too!" Xia Nan said stubbornly.
"Trust Mother! Mother will take care of it. Natsuki patted her son on the shoulder and said softly. This kid is afraid that he will suffer a loss!
"But ......" Xia Nan felt uncomfortable when he thought of Gongsun Ning's lewd expression when he saw his mother.
"Childe, there is still an old servant, you can rest assured!" said Uncle Fei with a smile. The more I look at this kid, the more I like it. At a young age, he knew how to protect his mother, and he would definitely be able to become a pillar of the country like his father in the future. It's just that I don't know if Xiao Liu'er sold his son-in-law in front of Gongsun Ning, so it's better for him not to show up at this time.
"All right!" replied Charnan, turning to pick up his bow and arrows. He has to redouble his efforts and become a person like his father in the future, so that he can support the family and protect his mother.
"Ahhh......h You quack!"
As soon as Xia Ji and her concubine and Fu'er arrived outside the hall in the outer courtyard of Sima Mansion to entertain guests, they heard Gongsun Ning's angry voice coming from inside. This was followed by the sound of a tea cup being broken.
Then they saw that the doctor of Shen was driven out of the house with a body of soup and water, his bronzed cheeks were burned red, his forehead was bruised, the blue and purple veins in his skin were clearly visible, and there was a boiled tea leaf sticking to his left eyebrow.
"My lord, I'm using wine to disinfect you, otherwise the wound will worsen. It hurts, but it's good for you!" the old doctor couldn't care about his wolf, and was still babbling to explain to the people in the room.
Uncle Fei stepped forward and patted the Shen Mansion Doctor on the shoulder, and he found Xia Ji and them, and quickly turned around and saluted.
"Lord Gongsun is such a big shelf! Shenfu has superb medical skills and is famous. When my husband was alive, he heard of his name, and it took a lot of effort to invite him to our Sima Mansion. Since you think that we don't have a good doctor in Sima Mansion, we can't help you with anything. Please come back!"
Xia Ji stood at the door and said unceremoniously.
Doctor Shenfu is also an old man in Sima Mansion, with good medical skills and good medical ethics, which can be described as a true doctor's benevolence. Sometimes I have nothing to do, so I often go out to give free clinics to people, and I am very patient with patients. He had encountered situations like this many times. If it were another doctor, it was likely that he would not be willing to treat the other party anymore, and he was splashed with tea, but he didn't care about his own face at all, and was still there to persuade the patient.
He will not want to cling to Gongsun Ning, because in order to use the rest assured, the government doctors of such large families in this era are all for life, and the body deeds of the house doctors are all held in the hands of the main family, and the whole family is also living under the shadow of the main family, unless he dies, it is impossible to leave the main family.
Therefore, Xia Ji has great respect for Shenfu Doctor. Seeing that his own people were tossed like this by Gongsun Ning, there was a small fire in his heart.
After she finished talking to Gongsun Ning, she turned her head and saw that Shen Fu Doctor was still standing there honestly and wolf-likely, at the age of nearly fifty.
"Doctor Shen, the wound on your forehead is a bit severe, go back and deal with it, and then rest! Natsuki whispered to him.
"Thank you Madame for your kindness, my little injury is not in the way, don't worry. "Doctor Shen is still stiff-mouthed. He felt that his wife's task of treating Dr. Gongsun's injuries had not been completed, and he was not qualified to go back to rest.
"Old Shen, listen to Madame, go back!" Seeing that the doctor of Shen's house was still stubborn, Uncle Yu walked up to him and persuaded. A hand was quietly stretched out under the wide robe, and secretly pinched the tiger's mouth in the right hand of the Shen Fu Doctor.
Doctor Shen's body was shocked, and then he changed his tone and said, "That old servant might as well be respectful." Then he said goodbye to Natsuhime.
Doctor Shen and Uncle Fei have been old friends for many years, and as soon as Uncle Fu pinched his hand, he immediately knew what to do. To put it bluntly, Gongsun Ning is notorious and has a very poor reputation among the common people, and the Shen Fu doctor was originally reluctant to treat this kind of person. It's only because of Natsuhime's confession that I came to do this. Now that his old friend Uncle Fu hinted that he had another hidden story in this matter, he naturally went with the flow as the best policy.
At this time, Gongsun Ning, who was in the hall of the guest room, saw Xia Ji coming, and became excited for a while, and he didn't care about the dissatisfaction in her words, but said with a salivating face: "Although there is no good doctor in Sima Mansion, there is good medicine! โ
"Oh, may I ask what kind of medicine we have in our house that can make adults look at it?" Xia Ji said coldly.
"It's you, ma'am, if you can help me with my wounds, I will feel that no matter how great the pain is, I will feel bearable. Gongsun Ning said, his eyes kept roaming over Xia Ji, and the โกโก in his eyes was not hidden.
"Doctor Gongsun, please respect yourself! My wife only rescued you for the sake of you and my lord who were once officials in the same dynasty, if you are so offended, my old servant will not allow you to stay in our Sima Mansion!"
Xia Ji hadn't said anything yet, and Uncle Yan couldn't stand it anymore. If she really wasn't right, he couldn't stand the deceased master, and he wouldn't have stayed in this mansion when he was old and insisted on helping her support the family. He is loyal to Xia Mansion, just to repay the lord who appreciates him.
In the past, for the sake of the future of her son, her wife always tolerated these people's verbal offenses, and did not dare to get into trouble with them, but she often hurt herself behind her back. Today, it seems that Madame seems to be gradually thinking about it, more decisive, and less polite to this kind of person.
In fact, if they know whose weaknesses they have, in order to be able to control each other all the time, they will not really help each other or anything, they will only keep hanging each other's appetite.
Uncle Yu was secretly happy for his wife in his heart, and when he heard that she had been insulted so blatantly again, he couldn't help but fight back with his temper, regardless of who the other party was.
"You...... What kind of identity are you, an old slave, to dare to be so rude to me!" Gongsun Ning was not a good-tempered person in the first place, but he was choked by a slave in front of Xia Ji, and he was angry at the moment.
"It's Gongsun who was rude first, and I can't complain about others! It seems that adults don't need help, so please go back!" Xia Ji was too lazy to deal with this kind of person anymore, and directly issued an eviction order.
"You...... It was your son who made me like this, shouldn't Madame be responsible?" Gongsun Ning never expected that Mrs. Xia, who had never dared to have a temper with him, would be so angry today and drive him away directly. If he just leaves like this, it would be strange if he didn't turn around and not be teased by his father!
Thinking that on the way in, Xiao Liu'er said that the dog was raised by Xia Nan, and Gongsun Ning went directly to Sima Mansion.
"Why are you talking nonsense like this, my lord! I've already heard from the people in the house about what is going on on the way here! My Nan'er is a good boy, how can you rely on him for this?" Xia Ji looked like she was caring for her calf.
"Madam, don't fool me! It's your own maid who said that it was your son's dog, how could it be fake?" Gongsun Ning looked at Xia Ji for a long time, and without hesitation, he sold Xiao Liu'er, who was kneeling beside him to scrub his wounds.
Xia Ji looked coldly at Xiao Liu'er, who had been serving Gongsun Ning intently, and her eyes seemed to freeze her into a piece of ice. Xiao Liu'er and Xiao Su have no family, and when they were dying of starvation on the side of the road, the original owner picked them up and let them survive with good food and drink. These two people are bent on clinging to the powerful, and the original owner doesn't mind, but this little Liu'er actually sold his son-in-law in order to curry favor with Gongsun Ningen. It's really a lack of people's hearts, I don't know what to do!
Xiao Liu'er's face was slightly embarrassed, but in her impression, Xia Ji was a good person, no matter what happened, as long as she occasionally showed weakness and explained a few words casually, she would not embarrass herself. So she just explained a little, "Madam, this matter can't be hidden, and I am also for the good of my son."
Xia Ji secretly sighed that she was really good at being bullied by others, and Ma Shan was ridden by others! The original owner's temperament was so gentle, and he also saved the other party's life, but he raised such a white-eyed wolf! Xia Ji was too lazy to talk to her again, but her eyes became more and more cold when she looked at her.
Xiao Liu'er shivered slightly, feeling very uneasy in her heart. Why are Madame's eyes so terrible today?
"Nonsense! Our people in Sima Mansion are upright and sit upright, where do we need others to help us hide something? You have always only worked in the inner courtyard, and Nan'er lives in the outer courtyard, how do you know that he has a dog? How do you know that the dog he raised is the one that bit Lord Gongsun today?"
Uncle Yu was originally angry with Xiao Liu'er for deceiving herself, but now seeing that she really sold her little master, and had the face to defend herself, she was immediately furious, seized the loophole in her words, and reprimanded unceremoniously.
"What I've Heard......"
"I heard about it, I just want to deal with it, Xiao Liu'er, Madam is so good to you, she saved your life, you betrayed the Xia family like this, can you have a little conscience?" Fu'er endured and endured, but still couldn't help but scold Xiao Liu'er.
Originally, they served closely by Mrs. Together, although Fu'er always felt that Xiao Liu'er and Xiao Su were not loyal enough and didn't like them, but they didn't want to accuse each other in front of everyone. But what Xiao Liu'er did made her really unbearable.
"Xiao Liu'er, you disappointed me so much!" Xia Ji didn't bother to look at her again, turned her head and said to Uncle Concubine: "Uncle Concubine, according to the rules of the house, what to do with the maid who betrays the lord will be handed over to you!"
"The old servant knows, madam, please rest assured!" After the concubine finished speaking, he beckoned two of his subordinates to drag Xiao Liu'er away.
"Madame, spare your life! Madame...... Adult, help me......" Xiao Liu'er was in a hurry, she first begged Xia Ji, and when she saw that Xia Ji ignored her, she immediately asked Gongsun Ning for help, pulling his clothes tightly.
Gongsun Ning had injuries on his body, and his clothes were torn, which directly hurt the wounds. So he didn't wait for others to do it, he opened Xiao Liu'er's hand first. It's just that he is not a stupid person, if Xiao Liu'er is like this, because he was punished, isn't it his face? So he decided to open his mouth to intercede for her.
"Madame......"
"Lord Gongsun, you wouldn't collude with Xiao Liu'er and deliberately frame our Sima Mansion, right?" Xia Ji unceremoniously interrupted Gongsun Ning's words and asked with a slanted gaze at him.
"No, how could it be! I came to visit solemnly. Gongsun Ning immediately denied it, and at the same time forgot the idea of interceding with Xiao Liu'er.
"Then why do you wear a fuchsia dress? Blue, red, yellow, white, and black are the main colors that the nobles should wear, and the other variegated colors are cheap colors, how can you choose a dress of this color?"
Now the world is in turmoil, etiquette is broken, and many people wear clothes very casually. For example, the king of Qi loves purple clothes, and the people of Qi country, no matter how high or low, all follow the trend and wear purple clothes. But if you put it on the surface, it's still an inappropriate thing. Xia Ji: This is deliberately not opening which pot to mention.
"I ......" Gongsun Ning was speechless. Can he say that it's because of a singer he just bought that praised him for looking good in this color? Now that he was asked, it seems that the singer has a bad eye, so he will sell her when he goes back!
"Yes, yes, yes! This color looks so feminine! Ken Ben doesn't look like a man's clothes, but like a woman's clothes! Gongsun is a dignified man, how can he wear women's clothes? You don't like this, do you?"
Fu'er is worthy of being Xia Ji's good maid, and her ability to mend the knife is simply unwanted. It's almost like saying that Gongsun Ning has a cosmiculture.
Gongsun Ning's face instantly turned red into a monkey's buttocks.
