As soon as the words fell, the people in the room changed color together. Some are skeptical, while others are gloating and waiting to watch the show.

Li's face sank, and there was some unconcealable anger in his eyes.

A few days ago, I heard that this person who had been sick for half a year had improved, she still didn't believe it, but she didn't expect to suddenly come out at this moment and come out in front of everyone, which really caught her off guard!

The old lady who had been asking about the affairs of the house for a long time also looked very bad-looking, looked at Mengbao and then at her daughter-in-law, with anger in her voice: "You let Mengbao eat steamed buns and pickles for a few months?" ”

Li lowered his head: "My daughter-in-law just heard the doctor say that sick people can't eat greasy things, so I specially told the kitchen to prepare some light food for Mengbao, who ......knows?"

"Yes, grandmother, people who are sick should indeed eat lightly, and my mother specially allowed me to open a small kitchen in Jingxin Garden. The steamed buns are steamed in the small kitchen, just out of the pot when it is hot to eat, if this is taken back from the big kitchen, the road should be cold, eat it hurts the stomach, not to mention, the disease is not easy to get better, it is still the mother to consider thoughtfully. ”

The third lady snorted and laughed: "Dare to eat steamed buns and have to steam them yourself?" This diet is more than light! ”

The food and drink of the people in the house has always been responsible for the large kitchen, if any yard is allowed to open a small kitchen, there must be something that needs special care, and this situation will generally be equipped with a few good cooks to manage it, and the original manpower in the courtyard of the province is not enough.

Li Shiming opened a small kitchen for Jing Xinyuan, looking like he took care of her. secretly withheld the ingredients, and didn't give her other manpower, to put it bluntly, except for giving Jingxinyuan a few more firewood, she didn't give anything else, but she herself earned a good reputation.

She originally thought that Mengbao was a weak and easy to bully, and she had been silent for so long, and when she turned around and died, she naturally couldn't make a sound, who knew that she not only didn't die, but also ran over to make a mocking complaint!

Li's face became even worse, but Mengbao ignored her, and instead said to a couple of newcomers on the side: "I came here today to ask my second brother and younger siblings for a cup of tea, but after a long illness, I got up late and missed the hour, and I hope that the second brother and younger siblings will not be surprised." ”

Shen Nancheng hurriedly shook his head and said where, stretched out his hand to let the maid on the side pour tea to give Mengbao tea.

Mengbao waved his hand and said that there was no need, regardless of these etiquettes, but he still had to give the gifts that he should give as an elder, so he asked the red note to take out the brocade box that had been prepared long ago.

In the brocade box is a jasper bracelet, which is of high quality and is a very good piece of Mengbao's jewelry.

She handed the brocade box to Shen Nancheng's wife Li Wanyu, sighed and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't have anything to give you, but this jasper bracelet can be taken into hand, it was originally a pair, but unfortunately the other one was pawned because of the purchase of medicine."

"I wanted to exchange something for you, you can choose to choose, or this bracelet is the best. Don't dislike it, I'll make it up to you when my sister-in-law has any other good things in the future. ”

Li Wanyu is the niece of the Li family, and her face was red and white when she started talking when Mengbao entered the house, and she was even more unpredictable at the moment, and she didn't know what to say.

She had already heard that the young lady of the Hou Mansion was useless, and she might lose her breath one day, so she didn't prepare a return gift for her today.

At this moment, looking at the hot potato in his hand, he hesitated again and again, so he had to take off a bracelet on his hand and hand it over as a return gift.

Mengbao was not polite, and let the red note be accepted, but the second wife, who was watching the play on the side, heard something else from her words just now: "You said that the other bracelet was pawned for medicine?" What's going on? ”

She sighed lightly: "It's not that Mengbao himself is not angry, the doctor said that if he is good at life, he will take a month's medicine, but Mengbao has been sick for half a year, and the previous medicine has already been eaten, and the doctor has not prescribed a new prescription."

"How dare the people in the pharmacy in the new prescription house grab the medicine, and Mengbao doesn't dare to bother his mother for this little thing, for fear that his mother will worry about Mengbao's body, so he simply sold the jewelry and asked Hongjian to go to the outside hospital to grab the medicine according to the old prescription.

"Fortunately, the doctor's prescription is good, and after a few months of eating, there has finally been some improvement, this is not to be able to get out of bed today, so I hurried over to say goodbye to my mother, so that my mother can rest assured."

The second wife smiled again: "The doctor said that if you take care of it, you can get good in a month, and if you don't get good in a month, isn't it bad to raise it?" Why don't you give the medicine because it's been a month? When did Fuli Pharmacy have this rule? How did I not know? ”

The third wife also agreed: "When you are sick, you still eat steamed bread and pickles, and it is strange to be able to raise them well." Your kid is also sincere, and after taking the medicine for a month, it is not good, so naturally you should find a doctor to take a good look and change the prescription or something, why do you follow the old prescription to catch the medicine yourself? If the prescription is really good, how can it take half a year to see improvement!

"Besides, what about your monthly money? Even if you grab your own medicine, you don't need to sell your jewelry. ”

Mengbao lowered his head: "Mengbao doesn't know how to use medicine, and I don't know if the prescription is good or not, it was always prescribed by the doctor, and it can't be wrong."

Those medicinal materials are said to be extremely expensive, and the monthly silver is not enough to put in it, Mengbao's own body and bones are poor, so he is embarrassed to let his mother take the silver from the public to make up for it, so ......"

The second wife was surprised: "You don't have enough medicine for so many months?" What kind of recipe is so expensive! ”

"That's it, where is this medicine, it's just gold! Take out your recipe and take a look, Mother Xu, who is next to the old lady, knows a little bit about medical skills, let her help you see if you have been deceived? ”

Mengbao took out the prescription with a blank face, and the maid in the room looked at the old lady, and after seeing her nodding, she took the prescription and handed it to Xu's mother.

Mother Xu glanced at her slightly, her expression changed slightly, and she leaned over and whispered a few words to the old lady.

The old lady's face suddenly turned terribly bad, and she slapped her hand holding the Buddha beads on the table: "Which doctor prescribed this prescription!" It's just something warm, where can it be cured! ”

Hongjian was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down: "Back to the old lady, it was the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhao half a year ago, and he said that he could get better by taking medicine according to the prescription......

"Doctor Zhao?"

The third lady's face was full of disbelief: "Isn't that the doctor who treats the people in the house?" How could Mengbao's illness be diagnosed and treated by him? ”

Fine beads of sweat continued to ooze from Li's forehead, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for Mengbao in his heart, and glanced at Gao's mother beside him.

Gao's mother understood, hurriedly walked to the hall in two steps and knelt down: "It's all the slave's fault, when the young lady was ill, Dr. Zhang Anzhang, who was used to treating the masters in the house, was invited by another family and couldn't come for a while." The young lady was sick again, and the slave was afraid of delay, so she instructed the porter to invite a doctor to come to the young lady first, and then invite him to come and run when Dr. Zhang came back.

"Who knew that the slave invited Dr. Zhao, and afterwards forgot to invite Dr. Zhang over."

"The slave and maid are not doing well, delaying the diagnosis and treatment of the young lady, and asking the old lady to punish her."

The third lady snorted coldly: "The young lady's illness is such a big thing as handing it over to a porter, Gao's mother is really a big mistake." ”

"Yes, the young lady is the wife of our son, a serious master, even if the porter forgets to invite Dr. Zhang to come over afterwards, you should remember to supervise it. Why did the porter forget you? Doesn't this take the young lady in his eyes? Or is it that in your eyes, there is only one master in the Hou Mansion? Don't you have to care about anything other than her? ”

The two wives kept fanning the flames on the side, and the words they said were heavier than the other.

Gao's mother couldn't bear it anymore, and her eyes were aimed at Li, hoping that she could help her intercede.

But the Li family knew that he was at a loss, so where did he dare to step forward and interject.
