Chapter 464: Hearts are Different at the Banquet
Fu Xiaojiu turned around and grabbed Wan Feizhi's wrist, asked her to also take a step forward, and introduced to the county lord of Jingyi: "This is my sister-in-law Wan Feizhi, who has been studying medicine with me for several years. β
The county lord of Jingyi looked Wan Feizhi up and down again, and showed a satisfied smile, "This kid is really handsome and thoughtful." Miss Wan, how old are you this year? β
Wan Feizhi replied respectfully: "The little girl will be sixteen soon." β
"Yo, you're old enough to get married." The county lord of Jingyi said, and asked Fu Xiaojiu again: "Fu Langzhong, does Miss Wan have a marriage contract?" β
Fu Xiaojiu replied truthfully: "Not yet, but we are looking at each other." β
The county lord of Jingyi nodded slightly, "Miss Wan is Wan Xiu's younger sister, and there is a divine doctor sister-in-law like you, she herself is so good, but she has to find a good family for her." β
Fu Xiaojiu replied with a smile: "This is natural, we will definitely find a young talent for my sister-in-law with good character, steady manners, and no messing with flowers, so as not to waste my sister-in-law's life." β
Fu Xiaojiu deliberately accentuated his tone, and after speaking, he raised his head and smiled politely at the county lord of Jingyi.
The county lord of Jingyi is "a thief with a weak heart", Fu Xiaojiu did not mention any family background at all, and has been emphasizing character, so that she will inevitably think of her uncompetitive son.
In fact, the county lord of Jingyi held a banquet today because he listened to Ke Yao's words.
Ke Yao said that Wan Lin's sister is good, he likes it when he sees it, and it is very suitable to be a lady, the county lord of Jingyi wants to find Fu Xiaojiu in the name of the banquet, first get to know Fu Xiaojiu, and then mention that Ke Yao likes Wan Feizhi and wants to marry Wan Jia.
Unexpectedly, without her effort, Fu Xiaojiu directly brought Wan Feizhi.
The county lord of Jingyi was very satisfied with Wan Feizhi, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.
Although she knew that Ke Yao did not meet the requirements that Fu Xiaojiu said at all, she also made up her mind to let Wan Feizhi be her daughter-in-law.
"Hehe, Fu Langzhong's requirements for his future sister-in-law are very considerate of Miss Wan, and I can see that the relationship between your sister-in-law is very good, which shows that the family style of the Wan family is quite positive, and it is an example for us to learn."
Fu Xiaojiu smiled faintly: "You have an overreputation." β
The county lord of Jingyi said to everyone: "Everyone is almost here, right?" Let's go for tea first, and then we'll have a feast. β
"Fu Langzhong, please come here."
The county lord of Jingyi was extremely polite to Fu Xiaojiu, and Fu Xiaojiu was also respectful to her.
But Wan Feizhi felt strange in his heart, and looked around when people were not paying attention, afraid of encountering Ke Yao, an evil young man.
Fu Xiaojiu planned to find an opportunity to ask what the divine doctor who was raised in the lord's house in Jingyi County was, and Fu Xiaojiu also wanted to talk to him and let him find a way to completely cure Ke Yao's illness first.
The county lord of Jingyi led everyone to the living room, the tables and chairs have been arranged, needless to say, generally everyone is silently seated according to the grade of the master of the family.
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Feizhi took the initiative to walk back, and the county lord of Jingyi stopped her when he saw that she was leaving.
"Fu Langzhong, you and Miss Wan are sitting next to me, I still want to ask you for medicine."
Fu Xiaojiu is better to obey her fate than to be respectful, lest she have to sit with Lu Qianying, she also saw Zhou Bingshuang, and she wished to stay away from them.
Not only the two of them, but Cheng Fangxin was also invited.
Aunt Bai was also invited, but she excused herself on the grounds that she was busy organizing the wedding.
Cheng Fangxin, as the daughter of a four-grade member and the prospective daughter-in-law of the imperial doctor, should have many people willing to slap her.
But the person who asked her to marry was the dream lover of unmarried girls in the entire capital, and she had become the number one public enemy of all unmarried girls.
Some of the older ladies could still talk to her, but when she sat down, she was surrounded by daughters of various families of her age.
are all pampered daughters, and everyone is arrogant, so no one is willing to take care of her, and even more so they are not afraid of offending her, so they rolled their eyes at her directly.
Cheng Fangxin is not to mention how aggrieved she is, if she weren't for the sake of the county lord of Jingyi, she wouldn't be used to them, and now in order not to embarrass her father and Bai Yusheng, she can only swallow this evil breath silently.
She originally planned to show off the identity of Bai Yusheng's fiancΓ©e at the banquet, but she didn't know that she had suffered this grievance.
Fu Xiaojiu saw the situation around Cheng Fangxin clearly, and let Wan Feizhi see it, Wan Feizhi saw that Cheng Fangxin was so snubbed, and his heart was very refreshed.
The county lord of Jingyi talked to Fu Xiaojiu at this time, although he was talking to Fu Xiaojiu, he was always looking at Wan Feizhi secretly.
Fu Xiaojiu knew that she had a miracle doctor, so she didn't think much about "getting an axe in the class", and after diagnosing her pulse at the request of the county lord of Jingyi, Fu Xiaojiu took the opportunity to say: "Concubine I heard that there is a miracle doctor in your house, it seems that he has conditioned your body very well, so I don't need to express any more humble opinions." β
The county lord of Jingyi was a little surprised to learn that Fu Xiaojiu actually knew about Langzhong in her house, and said that she was really well-informed.
The county lord of Jingyi told Fu Xiaojiu how she left Na Langzhong.
"To be honest, there is indeed a good doctor in my house. It was five years ago, I had a serious illness and sought medical treatment everywhere, even the imperial doctor was helpless about my illness, I thought I couldn't get over this hurdle, but I didn't expect Mr. Feng to suddenly appear and pull me back from the ghost gate. I really want to repay him, I don't want him to wander around and live without a fixed place, and it just so happens that my lord is also weak, so I just left him in the house. β
Fu Xiaojiu said enviously: "It is still your auspicious nature and profound blessings, so you will meet Mr. Feng in times of crisis." The county lord, the concubine has a reluctant request, I don't know if it will be presumptuous to say it? β
The county lord of Jingyi said warmly: "If you have any requests in Fulang, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to you." β
Fu Xiaojiu said with a humble face: "The concubine wants to meet this Mr. Feng and learn medical skills from him." β
"Oh?" The county lord's expression hesitated for a moment, but he quickly said with a smile: "Hehe, what kind of request is this." I know that what you like most most is to learn from each other, just like a painter likes to learn from each other, and a pianist likes to learn from each other. But don't worry, when the banquet is over, I will introduce you to Mr. Feng. β
Fu Xiaojiu said gratefully: "Thank you county lord!" β
Fu Xiaojiu sat next to the county lord of Jingyi, and there was an inconvenient place, and she couldn't chat with the people around her at will.
She also wanted to find out who was at odds with the county lord of Jingyi, so she could only secretly observe the people around her.
The hard work paid off, and after secretly observing the people around her, Fu Xiaojiu really found a few people who took advantage of the fact that the county lord of Jingyi was not paying attention and handed her white eyes.
Fu Xiaojiu found that the wife of a third-grade senior had secretly glared at the county lord several times, and this lady was the one who said last time that he would find an official to test Bai Yusheng.
Fu Xiaojiu suddenly thought that she should ask if Gu Ze was the person she arranged.
She also found that when Lu Qianying looked at the county lord, her eyes were also disgusted.
"Yes, why didn't Mrs. Lu come?" Fu Xiaojiu muttered in his heart.
Lu Qianying is not very old, so she shouldn't have a grudge with the county lord of Jingyi, since Mrs. Lu didn't come, was it because Mrs. Lu hated her, so she sent Lu Qianying over?
Fu Xiaojiu also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Qianying and find out if Mrs. Lu had married the county lord of Jingyi.
In the middle of the banquet, everyone began to get up and toast each other, and some ladies and ladies who had a good relationship could talk at this time.
Fu Xiaojiu also got up with Wan Feizhi, and the two of them came to the wife of the third-grade master first.
"Mrs. Wu, let's meet again." Fu Xiaojiu greeted her warmly with a wine glass.
Mrs. Wu was also very kind when she saw Fu Xiaojiu, she didn't talk to Fu Xiaojiu just now, and she was about to talk to her a few more words at this time.
"Fulangzhong, take a look at my face, is it much more delicate than the last time I saw you? Your mask and autumn cream are so useful, and now anyone who sees me says I look a few years younger! β
Fu Xiaojiu said sincerely: "You are indeed younger than you looked back then." As long as the things are easy to use, I feel relieved to see that you all use them so well, after all, these two things are not cheap, and I can't let people say that I have made black money. β
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she immediately hid her face and smiled: "Hehehe, what is Fu Langzhong talking about?" You're making money with your conscience. I'll be honest with you, I think it's such a good thing, you lose money selling a bottle of silver or two! β
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Feizhi also laughed, and Fu Xiaojiu also asked Mrs. Wu to help Wan Feizhi find a suitable husband by the way.
Mrs. Wu agreed, and Fu Xiaojiu saw that she was chatting happily, so she talked about Bai Yusheng.
Mrs. Wu was surprised at first, and then said regretfully: "I didn't find an official to test Bai Langzhong!" Alas, I had this intention, but unfortunately the handsome officer I spoke of suddenly went out of town. β
Fu Xiaojiu was stunned.
It turned out that Gu Ze was not sent by Mrs. Wu to test Bai Yusheng, so his appearance was too coincidental.
Mrs. Wu leaned closer to Fu Xiaojiu, and said in a regretful tone: "I don't think we need to be tempted, don't all the saints give marriage?" I heard that Bai Langzhong and Miss Cheng will get married next month. I see that Miss Cheng looks like a barely good match with Bai Langzhong, and it is estimated that Bai Langzhong does not have that kind of hobby, so we can't see anything lively. β
Fu Xiaojiu came back to his senses and said perfunctorily: "Yes, I also think it's a pity, I thought there was a lot of excitement to watch." β
Wan Feizhi chatted with others, listened to it with or without a match, and when he heard about Bai Yusheng and Cheng Fangxin's marriage, he was heartbroken, and quickly took a sip of wine.
Fu Xiaojiu put Gu Ze's matter aside for the time being, and asked Mrs. Wu if she had any grievances with the county lord of Jingyi.
"It's the first time I've seen the county lord of Jingyi, and I don't know her yet. Mrs. Wu, you should always see each other, right? Is the county lord so approachable and warm on weekdays? β
When Mrs. Wu heard that Fu Xiaojiu actually said that the county lord of Jingyi was "approachable" and "warm-hearted", a wave of anger immediately surged in her heart.
Mrs. Wu lowered her voice and sneered, "Heh, you don't know her, don't be fooled by her!" I'll tell you the truth with you as a friend. She is the most snobbish person in the whole capital! If it weren't for the fact that you were now a celebrity in front of the emperor, she wouldn't be looking at you squarely! β
Although Mrs. Wu was trying her best to suppress the fire, she still spewed out some of the anger.
Fu Xiaojiu pretended to be surprised and said, "It turns out that she is this kind of person?" But you are the wife of a third-grade master, and you are also from a famous family, and there are not many ladies of your identity in the entire capital, you must not have been angry with her, right? β
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu was even more angry.
