As one of the six major prefectures, Huiyuan Mansion has never lacked powerful people, and there are many heirloom families, and the Liu family can only be regarded as an upstart compared to it.
But because of the appearance of a six-department official, the Liu family's position in Huiyuan Mansion is very stable.
Now, Liu Jiahong, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has retired from office, and the eldest and fourth of the four sons have taken the official career, but to get to the status of their Laozi depends on creation.
Miss Liu San is the daughter of Master Liu's second master, but Miss Liu Si is from the big house.
Mentally prepared, Zhuang Shuqing knocked on the door of the Liu family with the pawn ticket and a package left by Miss Liu San.
Liu Jiahong has been in the Ministry of Rites for decades, and his family management can be regarded as rigorous, and the subordinates were not embarrassed when they heard that they were visiting the third lady, so they only asked her to wait first, and quickly sent someone to the inner courtyard to spread the word.
Miss Liu San had just taken medicine, and she felt sweet and bitter when she ate candied fruit, and she was stunned for a moment when she heard it, and then she laughed, revealing two whirlpools on her face, "I expected her to come, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, Qingqing, you go and greet her." ”
"Yes."
Qingqing was the maid who accompanied the third lady to Liangshan to seek medical treatment at that time, and she was also very impressed by the little girl, and saw that the person's tone was very brisk, "I didn't expect you to come so fast, Miss is happy, come with me." ”
Zhuang Shuqing had a good impression of this maid, and it was she who thoughtfully prepared a small amount of silver tickets and broken silver for her, and begged the third lady to take their sisters and brothers for a ride. Although she finally declined, she wrote down this intention.
"I've been here for a while, but I haven't scraped together enough money. I'm sorry to come to the door. ”
Qingqing smiled and was about to answer, when she saw the person who came out of the corner hurriedly squatting down and saluting, "The slave maid greets the fourth lady." ”
Liu Si raised the handkerchief and excused her, his eyes fell on Zhuang Shuqing, he felt that she was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, he didn't think about it, so he asked. "This is the third sister's guest?"
"Yes, the girl used to have an old relationship with the young lady."
Liu Si nodded slightly. Just as he was about to let people go, the personal maid stepped forward and whispered a few words, and suddenly changed her face, "You are the one who stopped Miss Ben's carriage." The woman who hurt Miss Ben? ”
Zhuang Shuqing knew that he couldn't hide, he didn't burn incense on weekdays, and it was really useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, obviously this Liu family was not small.
She is not an ancient, there is no ancient commoner who trembles when she sees the nobles, and she is not willing to pretend, she is blessed, neither admitting nor denying it, "I have seen Miss Liu Si." ”
Liu Si's focus is not here. "Where is the boy who saved you that day? From whom? ”
Isn't this going to be installed in your own home? Miss Liu Si, who is rumored to be in Huiyuan Mansion, is not so domineering, Zhuang Shuqing slandered in her heart, and her words did not leak. "Back to the fourth miss, I don't know that son, I was almost injured under the horse that day, it was that son who saved our sister and brother, and then we left, and I never asked him where he came from."
"Really?"
"No, I didn't."
Liu Si was still unwilling. After she came back that day, she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't ask why. She even suspected that the man was not a local at all, but just happened to pass by Huiyuan and happened to appear there, which happened to let her see him.
But because of this, she believes that it is her fate.
If it weren't for that, how could they have met at that time and in that way?
So even if the mother mentioned the relationship with the eldest son of the mansion lord several times, she was vague in the past.
She thought that she must see that man again, if it was really her fate, she would definitely hold on to it and not let go, if not, the eldest son of the mansion owner was her choice.
At this time, when she saw this woman, she remembered, maybe these two people met later, or maybe the two had something to do with it......
As soon as she thought of this possibility, she forgot her manners, forgot the image she had worked so hard to maintain, and just wanted to inquire about a few words.
But the result still disappointed her.
It was difficult for that man to leave Huiyuan City.
Qingqing didn't know about the entanglement, and when she saw that the fourth miss didn't speak, she said tentatively: "Fourth miss, look, the third miss is still waiting......"
Liu Si stared at Zhuang Shuqing tightly, "If I find out that you lied to Miss Ben, don't blame Miss Ben for being polite." ”
Zhuang Shuqing is another blessing, and his attitude can't find the slightest mistake.
Liu Si could only let people go.
If there is a person who can compete with her among the girls of the Liu family, there is only one Liu San, but a medicine jar that does not leave her body has just entered the eyes of her grandfather, and no one in the house thinks highly of her, if it is not necessary, she does not want to confront her.
When he was far away, Qingqing asked softly, "Have you seen Miss Four?" ”
Zhuang Shuqing said about the distress that day, "If it weren't for the son's rescue, my sister and the third lady would not have been able to see me." ”
"I see, you are also a disaster, I thought ......" Qingqing smiled, swallowed back the words behind, it was she who thought about it, how could a civilian rush into the Liu family's carriage for no reason.
"You still have to be careful in the future, sometimes you can't get back to the field if you're injured, you know?"
Knowing that she was sincerely instructed, Zhuang Shuqing should also be sincere.
Today's weather is good, Miss Liu San is walking in the yard, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she didn't let Zhuang Shuqing see her, so she pulled her to look left and right, "The complexion is much better, there is a little flesh on the face, it looks like she has grown a little taller, it looks like she is doing well." ”
"Miss Xie San is worried, I'm all right."
Liu San pulled her for a walk, "Take advantage of the weather to walk a lot, I can't even get out of the door when it's cold, Qingqing, why did you go for so long just now?" ”
Qingqing will meet the fourth lady, and even the accident will be said, she can't say anything about the master, but just mentioned, "If Miss Zhuang really makes the fourth miss worry, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”
"At most, she just bothered you a few times, and she didn't dare to do anything else, she finally saved a good reputation, and my good sister did everything to shoot herself in the foot." Liu San said it coldly, but it was also thorough, born in such a family, even if you don't want to learn, sometimes you have to learn.
Qingqing suddenly realized, immediately put her mind at ease, looked up at the sky, and said, "Miss, the sun will be good, there is no wind yet, you and Miss Zhuang will sit outside, and I will prepare some snacks." ”
"It's fine."
Qingqing commanded a few little maids to be busy, and remembered to get a cloak for Liu San to tie, Zhuang Shuqing looked at it and smiled, "At first glance, she is a good maid who really thinks about the third lady." ”
Qingqing ran away embarrassedly, which made Liu San laugh, "She came to me when I was seven years old, and she was ten years old at that time, so many years in a flash." ”
After sighing, Liu San looked at Zhuang Shuqing, "How long have you been in Huiyuan?" ”
"Arrived in late September."
After counting the next day, Liu San nodded, and didn't ask why she was so embarrassed at that time, but asked about her arrival at Huiyuan.
Zhuang Shuqing did not hide it, "I learned to paint before, at first it was to sell patterns, and then someone reminded me that this would wash away the market, so I simply opened a shop selling embroidery clothes on my own sufficiency, and the business is not bad. ”
As she spoke, Zhuang Shuqing opened the package, "This is embroidered by the embroidery lady in the shop, and the third lady will see if she likes it." ”
Liu San was slightly surprised, she knew that this girl who was not much younger than her would not live badly, but she didn't expect her to let herself live so well.
In a different place, she will definitely not do better than her.
This is a yellow full-breasted skirt, the color is very plain, there is no complicated pattern, that is, three circles of tender grass are embroidered with tender green embroidery thread at the hem, and some patterns are also made with embroidery thread of the same color in other places, which is not eye-catching, but it really injects vitality into this skirt.
"I like it." Liu San looked at it carefully, and repeated it again in an accentuated tone, "I like it very much." ”
"It's good if Miss Three likes it." Zhuang Shuqing could see that she really liked it, which was also an affirmation for a gift-giver, her smile was much bigger, and she sent two silver tickets over, "Someone sent charcoal in the snow, someone put icing on the cake, the third lady may have just helped casually at that time, but it is a great favor for our sisters and brothers, thank you The two words are too big and too light, I won't say it." ”
Liu San happily took out the jade pendant from his purse, "I originally wanted to wear it, but I still gave up after thinking about it, people raise jade and jade to raise people, my sick body, don't get sick and get sick to this jade pendant, but it will hurt people." ”
Taking back the jade pendant, Zhuang Shuqing was a lot more determined, this was the only thing left by the Dong family, she always remembered, she was afraid that something would happen and she couldn't get it back, then she would be too sorry for the original body of this body.
After putting away the jade pendant, Zhuang Shuqing asked, "Dare to ask Miss San, what can you say about this disease?" ”
"Just like you said when you first met, I was brought out of my mother's womb, and my mother was frightened at that time, and I was born less than a month old." It's about himself, Liu San still said lightly, "It's just the idea pickled in the inner house, no one is really that clean, what if I'm innocent?" I suffer all the pain, that's the truth. ”
Zhuang Shuqing didn't hear these words, "I'll check the pulse of the third lady." ”
She didn't learn this hand in school, but in the hospital after becoming a doctor and an old Chinese medicine hand.
The Western Medical Department is always full of people, but the Chinese Medicine Department is much more deserted, she went to the Chinese Medicine Department to rest if she had a little leisure, and she got to know the old Chinese medicine doctor surnamed Qu, and listened to the old Chinese medicine doctor who talked a lot about the ancients.
She became interested in Chinese medicine, and she contributed all the rest time in those two years to the Chinese medicine department, and after the accident, she used a lot of effort in Chinese medicine, and almost became half of Qu Lao's apprentice.
After a few years of intermittent learning, it is impossible to learn the essence of self, but she also understands the fur, without the assistance of those instruments here, the pulse has become the only way for her to know the other party's physical condition.
After a while, Liu San saw that her face was very similar to that, so he asked with a smile, "What do you see?" ”
"I have a few questions I want to ask Miss Three, please answer them truthfully." (To be continued)
