Chapter 16: Self-inflicted affection

Lu Jinping said: "There is another condition, those who stay in my house to take care of your daughter are limited to her biological mother, and no one is needed except her biological mother, including maids." Moreover, I am responsible for food and shelter. Don't send anything over, and I won't give her food. ”

Old lady Gao hurriedly said: "Okay! I promise you, I will leave their mother and daughter's living expenses these days, and you don't have to break the bank. ”

After discussing properly, Mrs. Gao immediately took his wife and concubines home, and sent his daughter Miss Gao to Lu Jinping's old house in a carriage and settled in the wing room in the front yard.

The old lady Gao told the third aunt a few words and asked her to take care of her daughter, and then she took her wife, the second aunt, and the housekeepers and maids to say goodbye and go home.

Lu Jinping went to the room to see Miss Gao's situation. went back to the inner house and began to decoct the medicine, and Ye Qingqing sent it over. The third aunt was full of joy, holding the medicine bowl with a trembling hand and feeding her daughter with a soup spoon, and then guarded the bedside without blinking.

At dawn the next day, Miss Gao finally opened her eyes and saw the dim roof and the old carved beams and paintings, and she was very surprised, this was not her residence. When I came over with a side face, I saw my mother's happy eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Mother, where am I?" ”

When the third aunt heard that her daughter was able to speak, and she could recognize herself, she cried with joy, gently hugged her and choked up, and said, "This is at Lord Lu's house, and it was Lord Lu who saved your life." ”

"What? Is it at his house? I don't want it! I don't want to live in this garbage house! Let's go home, mother, send me back. Miss Gao struggled to get up, but she only supported her upper body, and lay down heavily, her body was sore for a while, and she couldn't help but ** a few times.

Her "waste" scared the third aunt to the core. I quickly glanced back, but fortunately the door was tightly closed. She was still worried about whether Lu Jinping would hear it, so she hurriedly came to the back of the door, looked outside through the crack in the door, there was no one, and the courtyard was quiet, so she was a little relieved, and quickly came back and sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to her daughter and said, "You must not say that again, the lord is your savior." ”

"Could it be that you have already made up your mind to recruit him as a son-in-law? I'm not going to marry him! Die or marry! Woo woo woo ......" Miss Gao sobbed and cried

The third aunt hurriedly hugged her daughter and comforted her softly: "Don't marry, don't marry, your father didn't tell Lord Lu about his son-in-law, but just made a deal with him, and your father guaranteed him to be a doctor of medicine in the same state in exchange for him saving your life." ”

"What? He was so despicable! It's shameless to use my life to force my father to exchange for an official position! As soon as Miss Gao had the spirit, she scolded. In fact, it was mainly because of what Lu Jinping said about her before, and she had been haunted by it and took the opportunity to attack.

The third aunt was even more frightened, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and whispered: "Daughter, don't say that, only Lord Lu's medicine can save your life in this world!" No one else can save it. You can't offend him! As for the quid pro quo, it is also understandable that their family used to be the founding county man, and it was much more brilliant than our family at the beginning. Now that it is ruined, he also wants to restore the glory of the family, so the means used are a little despicable. However, his medical skills are so good that he can be regarded as a talent, so your father thinks that he can be promoted to the imperial court as an official, so he agreed. Sponsoring talents to the imperial court is also what your father should do. ”

Miss Gao doesn't care about other things, when it comes to her own life, she still has to care, listening to her mother's reminder, she nodded quickly. Only then did the third aunt let go of her hand.

Miss Gao whispered: "Since my father agreed, my daughter won't say anything, as long as she doesn't let him come to our house as a son-in-law." Daughters don't want to be husbands like this! ”

The third aunt sighed, and originally wanted to tell her daughter that she had proposed to Lord Lu to recruit him as a son-in-law yesterday, but the people had clearly refused, and even made it clear that they were not willing to marry their daughter, so the daughter didn't have to worry about this at all. It's just that it's shameless for my daughter to say it like this, so it's better not to say it.

Just then, I heard a banging on the door from the front room. The third aunt heard it clearly, and was overjoyed, and said to her daughter: "It should be your father who is going to the capital, and I will come to see you on the way, and I will open the door." With that, he walked out of the door and went to the antechamber and opened the courtyard door.

Outside the courtyard gate was Mrs. Gao, there was no one else except him, and a carriage was parked on the side of the road under the steps, which was taken by Mrs. Gao into Beijing.

Old lady Gao glanced at the third aunt first, and when she saw tears on her face, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be that my daughter's condition has worsened? ”

"No, no, it's not! My daughter's illness has improved so much that she can recognize people and talk to me. I'm happy to shed tears, sir, come in. ”

As soon as he heard this, the old lady Gao was relieved, walked in quickly, and went straight to the wing, the door was open, and at a glance, he saw his daughter looking at him with a pair of small mung bean eyes, and couldn't help but be ecstatic, and he was about to enter, and he tripped over the threshold in a panic and almost fell, and he stumbled a few times before he stood firm, and hurriedly came to the bed and asked, "Daughter, how is it?" ”

Miss Gao nodded and said, "Daddy, I feel much better, and I should be able to get out of bed after taking a few more medicines." Not to mention, this waste...... Ah no, this lord's medical skills are really brilliant, and I have to admire them. ”

Old lady Gao looked back at the third aunt, then at the quiet courtyard and the closed door of the inner house, and said in a low voice: "Don't say the word 'waste' in the future, after all, he also saved your life, and his medical skills are so good, no matter what, it is not a waste." We may have misunderstood him in the past. Remember, in the future, you will be called a lord, and he is a righteous lord, and even Feng Tingshi has to respect him for three points. ”

Miss Gao nodded slowly and said, "My daughter knows, but my father must promise not to recruit him as a son-in-law." ”

Old lady Gao smiled bitterly and said, "I mentioned it to him yesterday, but he said that he didn't want to be our son-in-law, and he didn't want to marry you......"

When the third aunt heard this, she anxiously pulled his sleeve behind her and glanced at him. Mrs. Gao was shocked to realize that she only cared about comforting her daughter just now, so that her daughter didn't have to worry about it, because the other party didn't want to do this, but she ignored that if she said so, her daughter was afraid that she wouldn't be able to save face.

Sure enough, as soon as Miss Gao heard this, her short eyebrows stood up, and she glared at the mung bean and said, "What? He doesn't want to? Why would he not want to? Isn't he just a broken lord? What's the big deal, you don't want to come to my house to be a son-in-law, what point am I not worthy of him? ”

Old lady Gao hurriedly waved her hand again and again, and the third aunt sat on the edge of the bed in a panic, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, shook her head desperately and said, "Don't, daughter, don't talk nonsense, let's just keep these words in our stomachs, and we'll talk about it when we go home." You must not talk nonsense here, lest the lord be unhappy, but we will suffer! ”

This Miss Gao blurted out in annoyance for a while, but her mother was so little that she immediately knew that it was powerful, and quickly shut up, but her chest kept rising and falling in anger.

At that moment, the door of the inner house creaked open. Ye Qingqing walked out, went straight to the wing, glanced at Old Lady Gao and the third aunt, and said, "Lord asked me to come and see how Miss Gao's condition is?" ”

Old lady Gao hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, please return to your lordship, the little goddess Zhi has regained her consciousness and can recognize people." Hoping that the lord could take care of the treatment, the old man immediately went to the capital and went to the ministry to do this in person. This will be faster than the exchange of letters, and it should be done in no more than ten days, and the little girl's illness will be left to the lord. ”

Ye Qingqing said expressionlessly: "I know, you go quickly, our lord said that he would not let your daughter have any mistakes during this period, our lord has never been a word when he speaks, unlike some people, who say one thing and do another, and say that they are rewarded heavily, but they use fifty wen to prevaricate others as a heavy thanks, our lord can't do such a thing!" ”

Old lady Gao's face turned red, this girl's mouth is really powerful, but what people said is the truth, and there is no way to refute it at all, so she smiled wryly and said, "Okay, the old man will enter Beijing." After that, he told the third aunt a few more words, comforted her daughter a few words, and walked out quickly. He knew that if he didn't get this matter done and let Lu Jinping become a doctor of medicine in the same state, he was afraid that his daughter's life would not be saved in the end, and he had to complete this matter as soon as possible.
