Chapter 071 - Refusal to Accept Red Envelopes (Second Update)
Mother Qin frowned: "Second Master's thoughts...... It's hard to say. At that time, the second master only passed on the sixth miss, and even the second lady was not there, and the old slave did not dare to follow in. However, listening to the maid inside, the second master did not mention Miss Six positively, but he was so angry by the words of the third lady that he was angry. ”
If it had been changed before, hearing that Su Xue had provoked the second master to get angry again, the second wife would definitely laugh from ear to ear.
But this time, she couldn't laugh at all.
Mother Qin saw that the second wife was anxious, and even comforted her on the side: "All the evidence points to Xuemei, and the second master will not suspect the sixth lady." ”
"But Xuemei's girl is still alive! Jiang Suxue tried her best to keep Xuemei, just to help Xuemei clear her grievances in the future, and Wanyue would be ...... when the time came."
The second wife became more and more anxious as she spoke, but suddenly stopped, her eyes widened, as if she was choked by something.
"No...... No, no, no! The second wife's eyes were bloodshot, and her palms were in a cold sweat.
Mother Qin was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Second wife, don't mess with yourself, that Xuemei is out of the house now, and if you really want her to shut up, it's not impossible." The most important thing now is not to let the second master and the old lady be suspicious of this side. ”
"Suspicious? What can you be suspicious of me? If it weren't for the pearl's dead girl who sent the wrong tea to Bao Zhangzheng, how could I have turned back to the West Wing, and how could I have bumped into Lan Zhu and Bao Zhang were talking secretly, I ......" The second lady said as she spoke, as if she was afraid, and stopped.
"Second wife, now that the matter has come to this, you are the mother of Miss Six. If you don't take care of the aftermath for her, who will protect her......" Mother Qin stroked the back of the second wife. While gently persuading.
But the second wife's eyes suddenly trembled, and she turned around and grabbed Qin's mother's sleeve. puffed out his eyes, and said astringently: "I have been raising it a few days ago, and I rarely go out, and Jingxuan comes to my room a lot, and Wanyue doesn't come often!" Our mother and daughter are not close, not close! ”
The second wife's face was hideous.
Mother Qin was also frightened, doesn't the second wife plan to care about the life or death of Miss Six? But after all, she is also the biological daughter of the second wife.
Mother Qin's face was full of worry, and the second wife was still repeating: "Yes! Not close, not close ......"
"Second wife......" Mother Qin couldn't help but choke out.
The second wife saw that Qin's mother was soft-hearted. frowned and grabbed her cuffs, and said fiercely: "That's her own crooked mind, and I didn't instigate it!" I didn't know anything about it from beginning to end, and neither do you! Don't go out and touch that Xuemei! Don't go out to find out what's going on! Jiang Suxue is not the stupid calf she used to be, this time she set a trap and calculated Wanyue, and next time she may send someone to guard Xuemei and wait for us to appear! Don't, don't ......"
When Mother Qin heard this, she also understood that the situation was serious, although she was a little unbearable. But he could only nod.
The second wife tossed around for a long time before finally resting.
At that time, the third watch had passed, and the house should have made trouble, and those who should have been angry were also angry. Even the sixth lady Wanyue, who had been in a trance since returning to the house, dimmed the lights in her room.
But there is still one person who has not slept.
The old lady's room was dimly lit, and she was half-leaning on the bedpost. The face is gloomy.
Mother Hu stood aside with her hands down, silent.
I don't know how long it took. The old lady said in a deep voice: "Say, which one is this time?" ”
"This ......," Hu's mother frowned in embarrassment. I didn't dare to say it.
The old lady sighed, her eyes shimmered slightly, and she said quietly: "Call the old lady in charge tomorrow!" Let's just say, I need to change the incense burner here. ”
Mother Hu hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Actually, the old lady doesn't have to toss like this, the old slave can ask a few words if she takes something casually in the past." Now that Xuemei has been sent out of the house, the people in the house will ask everywhere, and the old slave asks, and no one will be suspicious. ”
The old lady closed her eyes, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." You just have to ask, Xuemei's girl, don't know the fragrance. ”
Mother Hu paused and nodded solemnly.
The old lady cares about the magnolia incense and forbids it to be used in the house, and judging from Xuemei's reaction tonight, she doesn't know the taboo at all, otherwise, she wouldn't have said it in public like that.
So the person who really wants to use Magnolia to make a fuss is not Xuemei, Xuemei is also being used, an unwitting substitute for the dead.
So at the moment, only Miss Six is the most suspicious.
Mother Hu was also nervous for a while, if she was just a subordinate, she would just dispose of it casually, but now that she has been replaced by a lady in the house, this matter is really tricky......
Mother Hu sighed secretly, and looked at the old lady again, who had already closed her eyes and snored slightly.
Mother Hu stepped forward to help the old lady lie down, pulled the brocade quilt to cover the old lady tightly, and then walked out lightly.
In the dead of night, the unquiet night in Jiangfu has finally passed.
The next day, Hu's mother went to the outer courtyard early, while calmly instructing the lazy maid, while quietly looking for the housekeeper's mother.
In less than half an hour, she went out of the outer courtyard, hurried through the hanging flower gate, and walked towards the old lady's courtyard.
She inquired according to the old lady's wishes, and the result was really as the old lady expected.
Mother Hu sent Cuixiang and okra who served the old lady to comb her hair, and explained in the old lady's ear in a suppressed voice.
"Xuemei was doing chores in the outer courtyard when she first entered the house, and the housekeeper's mother was very familiar with her, she was just an illiterate girl, and she couldn't even tell the difference between the quality of the clothes and the materials, and even more so for the spices. At that time, the housekeeper's mother was anxious enough, and she scolded her less. ”
In fact, the original words of the housekeeper's mother are even more ugly, because now Xuemei has become a sinner who murdered the third lady, and the people in the house are all scolding Xuemei.
The housekeeper's mother even took Xuemei as an example to warn other subordinates to work hard, and Hugh should use their brains.
Although Mother Hu was already very vague, the old lady understood everything as soon as she heard it.
What can a girl like Xuemei say in her mouth. Aren't they all taught by the master?
The old lady listened while soaking her hands, her eyes fixed on a rose petal floating in the pure copper basin. Silence all the time.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and the old lady's house was already set up with a copper exotic beast stove burning with silver charcoal.
A burst of warm fragrance overflowed. The old lady raised her cold eyes, closed her eyes and raised her hand, and then said, "The water is cold." ”
There was such a big fuss last night, and the maids and women in the house would inevitably talk in private, but on the surface, the Jiang Mansion was still calm.
Su Xue and Miao Meng were hit by a black goat, but fortunately the injuries were not serious, and Su Xue was more worried about Xuemei who stayed in the hospital.
After noon. He instructed Miaomeng to send two little servants to secretly send some silver taels to the doctor of the medical hall, and asked him to take care of it.
But who expected that the little maid was busy with his work, and brought the silver two back intact.
Dr. Zhang from the medical hall refused to accept it.
Su Xue was stunned for a moment, thinking that the doctor didn't want to help, but she heard Miaomeng say: "Doctor Zhang said that he has already received the money and will take care of Xuemei, but he won't accept such money." ”
Su Xue was secretly surprised, heh. And such an upright doctor, who refuses to ask for red envelopes?
Besides, it was not a large amount, but a few pieces of silver, and he took it. Be more dedicated, use good medicine generously, and naturally count it in. It's not bad money.
Ignorance is not ambiguous, and it is at ease in people's hearts.
It's like the traditional Chinese medicine hospital where Su Xue worked in her previous life was posted everywhere with the slogan "Refuse to accept red envelope kickbacks". But that's not the case.
In fact, in the end, the real crux of the problem is not the doctor. It's with the patient's family.
Su Xue remembers that the hospital once invited an elderly retired doctor to give a lecture in the hospital, and the old doctor was very humorous, and when he talked about the red envelope kickback, he made a little joke.
That day, he was wearing a big white coat and was about to go back to the attending physician's office to get information, when suddenly two women rushed to him, dragged him and pushed him inside without saying a word.
Before he could react, one woman slammed the door shut, and the other took out a bag of money wrapped in newspaper and stuffed it into the pocket of his white coat without saying a word.
He said that he was scared at that time, and thought that the enemies he offended in his early years had chased him to the hospital to clean him up, but later learned that it was the patient's family who wanted to give him a red envelope.
He had signed an agreement to refuse to accept red envelopes, and he couldn't do such a thing.
Thinking about it, he quickly took out the ball of newspaper and stuffed it back to the family, and said again and again to reassure them.
But the family's eyes suddenly turned red, and they immediately knelt down for him, crying profusely.
The old doctor was so frightened that he jumped up from his stool, and he could not afford such a courtesy.
After some tugging, one of the buttons of his big white coat was pulled off, and in the end, the ball of newspaper remained in his pocket.
It's funny to think that the family members were busy avoiding the hospital cameras, so they hurriedly pushed him into the office to stuff him with money, and left in a hurry, but forgot to say which patient's family they were.
The number of people who see patients in the TCM hospital every day is countless, and he is really good...... I can't guess which patient looks like that family.
In the end, he didn't know which patient gave him a red envelope and needed special attention. But in the end, it's not bad, he treats every patient equally.
The trend of red envelope kickbacks can't be stopped, and in the final analysis, it is also the family's heart, give a red envelope, and ask for peace of mind.
But this is good, this Dr. Zhang doesn't even give her peace of mind.
After that, Su Xue didn't continue to entangle, and picked a sincere maid in the house to go to Zhang's Medical Hall.
Xuemei was injured, and there was a maid by her side, who could also help Xuemei turn over the medicine.
As soon as the maid was sent away, the eldest lady and the second lady came over with a spring breeze on their faces.
Su Xue hurriedly smiled and went to greet her.
The eldest lady was not restrained, as if Su Xue was her own daughter, she took her hand and asked questions, saying that she couldn't rush back and forth into Beijing, so she would stay overnight in Beijing.
Even the eldest lady of the place where she stayed was arranged, and it was the house of Mrs. Xing of Jingshi.
"Mrs. Xing is kind, and Mrs. Xing is very familiar with your aunt and uncle, so Sister Xue, you don't have to be restrained at all!" The eldest lady smiled brightly and patted the back of Su Xue's hand one by one.
Su Xue nodded on the surface, but she was suspicious in her heart, she still needed to care about it in her own house, let alone in someone else's house?
The other party is Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Xing, and they need to be restrained and restrained.
This eldest wife, do you also want to learn from the second wife's tricks to fool her?
If she really listened to the words of the eldest lady, and went to the Taifu's mansion to be free and rude, wouldn't it just happen to set off the second lady's dignified and polite?
Su Xue smiled secretly, this eldest lady, still treat her as the stupid third lady before? (To be continued......)
