Chapter 359: Jade
After Bai Ling received the invitation, he asked Haitang to look at the preparation of a birthday gift, but he didn't value this banquet.
Although the Xiao family is a family, what Mrs. Xiao did before, even if Bai Ling went to the Xiao Mansion as a guest, these rumors would be remembered, and it would not be beneficial to Bai Ling.
But after receiving the invitation, whether Xiao Muqing's performance at the palace banquet was good, or the little involvement between him and Concubine Xiao, Bai Ling couldn't refuse to participate in this banquet.
"Girl, Mrs. Tobe Shangshu handed over the post and asked to see her, it seems that there is something urgent." After Haitang received the little girl's report, she said to Bai Ling: "This Mrs. Hubu Shangshu is the queen's cousin who is separated by two rooms, and her grandfather is the prince's concubine. ”
Bai Ling's eyebrows were raised, there were in-laws everywhere in the capital, and it was not uncommon for these dignitaries to have a little relationship with each other.
"Is it from the prince's faction?" When it comes to factions, Bai Ling is a little bored.
"Yes." Begonia nodded.
"Please come in." Bai Ling opened his mouth lightly, and tapped his fingers on the table.
The prince is mediocre, but the family is a descendant, and the foreign family is capable, and the position of the prince is still stable.
And there are many strategists in the prince's mansion, and under the intrigue and trickery, the prince has not lost too much to other princes.
The Han Wangfu has a heavy army and an unshakable position in the court, and the prince himself also wants to win over, but the Han Wangfu has always remained neutral, and the prince did not dare to offend if he failed to win over.
No outsiders know about Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu's relationship, but Bai Ling often goes in and out of the Han Palace, where Princess Yayang treats her illness, and the Han Palace's ......
Rubbing his eyebrows, Bai Ling said tiredly: "Let people stare at the book of the household, so as not to be used." ”
"The slave maid heard that Lord Shangshu's father, that is, the old pavilion elder who has already sent a minister, is sick, and Mrs. Shangshu of the household department has come, so she should ask the girl to be healed." Begonia Road.
When she was in Fuzhong, Haitang always called Bai Ling a girl, not a master.
"Over there, it's time to come up with some new medicines, otherwise if I stay in the capital, wouldn't I become a doctor who visits the doctor." Bai Ling frowned.
Ordinary people naturally can't ask Bai Ling here, there are too many officials and nobles, Bai Ling is a county lord who has no backing, and someone really comes to invite her, and it is not easy for her to refuse.
But the capital is a big dye vat, not to mention the intrigue between factions, there are also a lot of dirty things in the backyards of various mansions, and Bai Ling doesn't want to get involved.
While the master and servant were talking, Mrs. Tobe Shangshu had already come in.
Bai Ling's identity did not need to be saluted, but after all, he was a junior, so he still stood up and greeted a few steps.
"I didn't know that Mrs. Shangshu came to be a guest, and there was no preparation in the house, so please forgive me." Bai Ling smiled politely and politely.
"It's Mrs. Ben who is abrupt, and I hope the county lord won't blame her." Mrs. Tobe Shangshu is nearly forty years old, and she does not look old when she is properly maintained.
The two exchanged a few words, and Bai Ling instructed the maid to serve tea, and then he got to the point.
"The family has been unwell recently, and he has not been well after seeing a few doctors, and the imperial doctor has no choice, so he has to come to disturb the county lord. I heard that the county lord has superb medical skills, and he also asked the county lord to come to the door to treat the family, and the Shangshu Mansion will be grateful. Mrs. Tobe said sincerely.
Bai Ling no longer has a backer, and she is also the county lord, otherwise Mrs. Hubu Shangshu would never come to invite her in person.
Even if she came, Mrs. Hubu Shangshu was not necessarily very polite, it was just a routine, and she didn't take Bai Ling in her eyes.
"I also ask the lady to inform the old lady of the situation, and if the lord of the county is sure of healing, he will go with the lady. If you are not sure, the lord of this county can only say sorry. Although it shouldn't be like this as a doctor, after all, the county lord is a woman who has not left the cabinet, so it is always a little inconvenient. Bai Ling's tone lightened a little.
The doctor is benevolent, but there is no need to find anger for himself.
The father of the Hubu Shangshu, who had an official to worship the elders, would give some rewards on his birthday every year to show his sympathy for the old ministers.
Shangshu Mansion can stand, and it can't do without the face of the old pavilion, otherwise with the ability of the current household Shangshu, it will be promoted to be a waiter.
Mrs. Hubu Shangshu, that is, Mrs. Li, didn't expect Bai Ling to be so ignorant, so she felt a little more angry in her heart and sank her face.
"Does the county lord look down on Shangshu Mansion? Now that the capital is full, who doesn't know that the county lord has superb medical skills? The family is seriously ill, and Mrs. Ben personally came to invite the county lord, also out of filial piety, is the county lord really so unkind? Mrs. Li asked with a cold face.
Bai Ling smiled lightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If someone in Shangshu Mansion is poisoned, or has broken hands and feet, the county lord will not see death or save him, and he will do his best, which is also the category that the county lord is good at healing."
But people eat grains, it is inevitable that there will be birth, old age, sickness and death, even if the lord of this county follows the medicine king valley, but he is not an immortal who can bring the dead back to life. The lady's filial piety is commendable, and the lord of the county is also moved, but he can't help but measure himself. ”
"The county lord has never been to see it, how can he know what the illness of the family is? Since the county lord refused to go, Mrs. Ben was not reluctant to disturb the county lord. Mrs. Li got up angrily.
Begonia exudes cold air all around him, if he is not afraid of causing trouble to his master, he really wants to throw people out.
Bai Ling's eyes also turned a little colder, and he half-lowered his eyes and said, "Elder Li Ge's situation, this county lord has already heard about it. If the lady wants to fulfill her filial piety, the county lord has a way to alleviate the situation of Li Ge Lao. Just ......"
"Just what? The county lord may wish to say bluntly that although Shangshu Mansion does not regain the scenery of the family when he was in the court, he is willing to scatter his family wealth for the sake of the family man's body. Mrs. Li held back her anger and sat back again.
"Please wait a moment, ma'am." Bai Ling got up and walked to the back room, and waited for a stick of incense before coming out, with a delicate red sandalwood box in his hand.
Mrs. Li thought it was a panacea, but after seeing Bai Ling open the red sandalwood box, her expectation turned into disappointment.
The jade that Bai Ling took out was conceived by space, and it was the best, but Mrs. Li was not here.
"Is the county lord playing tricks on Mrs. Ben? Even if this is a high-quality jade, what does it have to do with the healer? Mrs. Li was about to lose her nerves and asked through gritted teeth.
"This is a secret recipe made by the lord of this county, which is used to warm and nourish jade, which is suitable for the elderly and infirm, and it will be effective in less than a month. Although the effect is slower, it will not hurt the root element. ”
Bai Ling didn't care about Mrs. Li's attitude and put the jade on the table.
Slender fingertips swept across the red sandalwood box, and Bai Ling said indifferently: "If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Zai is truly filial to her elders, the county lord would definitely not take out this piece of jade." You must know that a piece of high-quality jade is rare, and to maintain a piece of jade, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is still three or four out of ten to succeed.
Mrs. Li looked at the red sandalwood box suspiciously, but did not answer, as if she was considering whether to believe Bai Ling.
The jade shop under Xiao Mu's name also has the banner of being able to warm the human body, and a medium piece of jade can still be sold for thousands of taels of silver, but it still has to be worn for a long time to see the effect.
And the jade that Bai Ling took out was a rare and superb jade, and Mrs. Li was a little hesitant.
"Madame can take the jade, and after a month, if Li Ge Lao's health does not improve, it should be a gift for the county lord to visit Li Ge Lao. If Elder Li Ge has improved, it will not be too late for Mrs. to pay the jade silver. ”
