Chapter 129 Uninvited Guest
The person at the door was dressed in a pale cyan cloud smoke dress, and the wide hem of the dress was embroidered with purple intricate ancient pattern hundred flower butterflies. It was covered with a large sable coat, and the cuffs moved slightly, revealing two gold-inlaid jade bracelets. The whole person looks graceful and noble, which looks incompatible with Liuyang Street, a place of philistine merchants.
This person is none other than the eldest lady of the Yan Mansion who has not been seen for many days!
The north wind in early winter swept the snowflakes and blew over, and Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but shrink her neck. Before she could speak, the maid jacaranda beside Liu rubbed her red hands, and said with a cold air: "Second girl, you finally came out!" My wife and I have been knocking outside for half an hour, and we are freezing to death! ”
Yan Xiaoyun frowned, and while secretly thinking in her heart that the Liu family had suddenly found the reason why Lian Yitang came, she opened the door and invited the two of them in.
As soon as Liu entered the house, he took off the sable fur on his body and handed it to the jacaranda, as if the hostess was inspecting the territory, dangling around the entire Lianyi Hall, and even walked to the table and pulled out the account book on it and flipped it over.
Before long, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said approvingly: "At the beginning, when your father said that the emperor gave you a reward to fund you to open a medical center, I was secretly worried, afraid that you would not be able to fiddle with a little girl, and something would go wrong in the future and annoy the holy will!" Now it seems that this medical hall has really been opened by you. You don't know, the news about Lian Yi Tang's poor pharmacy has spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, saying that our Lian Yi Tang medicine is good and cheap, and praise you for your child's excellent medical skills, and you are a holy hand of wonderful medicine! ”
As she spoke, she brushed the hem of her skirt, put herself on the chair, and took a sip of tea: "Although your father doesn't say it, I am happy to see him!" Recently, many people in the court praised you in front of him, we don't have a son-in-law in Yanfu, but you, a girl, are also fighting for your father! ”
Yan Xiaowei soaked in the hospital every day, and she didn't know what the rumors were outside, but now when she heard Liu's words, she felt that the person who was rumored by others was not what she was. She didn't take it to heart, let alone be complacent, she just secretly observed her words and expressions from the side, curious about the purpose of Liu's coming here today.
Since the opening of the medical hall, Yan Xiaowei has lived in Lianyitang on the grounds that she is sick at night. At first, it was every three or five days, but since last month, she has simply lived here, and she hasn't returned to Yanfu for more than half a month.
First, the weather is very cold after winter, and it is really hard for her to run back and forth across half of the capital every day, not to mention that sometimes the hospital does have some diseases in the early morning and midnight, and the consequences are unimaginable once delayed.
Second, I also want to stay in Yan Mansion as little as possible. After all, having a Yan Haiyue was enough for her to have a headache, and then Aunt Liu dug up the matter of Liu's murder of her biological mother He many years ago, although it has been impossible to verify for a long time, but the battle between Liu and Aunt Liu has obviously gradually become clear, and if she stays longer, sooner or later she will be involved.
At first, Yan's father sent a little girl to urge her to go back every once in a while, but later she prevaricated a few times, and Yan's father saw that she was sometimes really busy, so he went with her.
It's just that for so long, Liu has never been to ask, and today he suddenly came over, and he got up early in the morning, which can be described as an uninvited guest, and he has to be wary.
Yan Xiaowei took advantage of Liu's inattention and said something in Yaxiang's ear.
Ya Xiang opened her mouth slightly, glanced at Liu quietly, and then opened the door and walked out when she was not paying attention.
On the side, Liu lowered his eyes and put the tea cup aside, and his fingers painted with impatiens nails combed the folds on the hem of his clothes. Then he raised his head and smiled kindly at Yan Xiaoyi: "Although your medical hall is running well, I count the days in the mansion every day, and you haven't been back for sixteen or seventeen days." I'm fine, it's just that if it goes on like this, your father will probably be angry. After all, the daughter who has not left the cabinet lives alone outside, and if this word reaches the Rong Mansion, it will not sound very good! When the time comes, where do you say your father's old face can be placed? ”
Yan Xiaoyun had a bad breath in her heart, she didn't do anything to steal chickens and dogs when she lived in the hospital, why did she feel like she Yan Xiaowei had done something shameful in her mouth?
She exhaled lightly, hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "Mother, you are too worried." When this medical center was originally planned to open, it was still a place that Rong Xiu chose for me, and I deliberately found such a house in the backyard that could live in it, saying that there were many snowy days in the capital, and the snow road was slippery, so I would save myself from running back and forth in winter. Therefore, you can rest assured on the Rong family's side. ”
"In addition", she looked at Liu pointedly, and her tone was a little puzzled: "My father always comes to the hospital to drink a pot of tea when he passes by here these days. Looking at his old man's appearance, he doesn't mean to be angry? That day, my father also said that he would send someone to make two thick futons in two days to save the cold at night! Didn't Dad tell you this? ”
Liu was obviously dignified for a moment, but he was only stunned, and then hooked his lips and said: "Look at my memory, this is old, it's easy to remember." Your father did tell me that he wanted me to make you a futon himself! I have a lot of things going on in the house these days, and I forgot about it for a while, and I will definitely send it to you when I finish it in two days! ”
Yan Xiaoyu smiled lightly, and a harmless little pear vortex appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Since that's the case, mother, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Liu Shi clenched his fists fiercely without a trace, and his knuckles were slightly pale because of the force: "Why are you so outside, this is what a mother should do." As she spoke, she smirked twice, and said in a serious voice: "There is no malice in what my mother said just now, it is all for your good." ”
She glanced at Yan Xiaowei from head to toe: "Look at you, you can't take care of life when you're young, and it's inconvenient to have no one around you to take care of you." Look at your clothes, shoes, and socks, the hair on your head, all a shaggy little madman! If this makes people look at it, they still think that our Yan Mansion has no money and no rules, and if we dress our daughter like this, it will be spread that my mother, I will really make people laugh to death! ”
Her eyes fell on Ling Xiang behind Yan Xiaoyi, and she frowned dissatisfiedly: "Although the little girl around here was raised by our Yan family, she is too young. I was naughty when I was in the house, and now I come out with you, it's even more difficult to manage, right? It's better to be like this, I have a grandmother by my side, who has been watching your sister Haiyue grow up a few years ago, and now she is assigned to you and taken care of by your side, how about it? In this way, if you live outside, I can rest assured as a mother. ”
After that, she turned her head and waved to the jacaranda standing aside: "You go out, bring in Mama Wang outside and let the girl know!" ”
Yan Xiaoyi's heart sank, everyone had already brought it, waiting outside, this was obviously premeditated a long time ago! At the beginning, the Liu family placed Aunt Li by Aunt Liu's side for many years, and poisoned Aunt Liu in a vain attempt to kill Aunt Liu. Are you going to arrange people around you again this time?
What does this Liu want to do? She doesn't live in Yan's Mansion now, and she still refuses to let her go!
Seeing that the jacaranda was just about to turn around, Yan Xiaoyu hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her: "Wait a minute!" ”
The leg that the jacaranda was about to step out of suddenly retracted.
Liu's face sank suddenly, and his tone was not good: "What, you don't want to?" I don't care if you want to live in the hospital, but you can't have no one to take care of you, right? Seeing that I am going to get married next year, there is no adult around me to teach, how can I learn the rules? In the future, I will marry into the Rong family, but I want people to see jokes! ”
These are all excuses, but the real purpose is actually to plant someone around you, right? Yan Xiaoyan sneered in her heart, secretly clenched her fist in her cuffs, but there was a light smile on her face: "Mother, where do you want to go, of course I would like to have an experienced grandmother around me to take care of me." ”
"It's just", she changed her voice: "There is only a limited space in this medical hall, and the only place that can live is the back room." On weekdays, I sleep alone in the bed, and Yaxiang and Lingxiang can only squeeze on the couch. All of a sudden, another person was added, and I couldn't live there. ”
Liu Shi didn't seem to think of this floor, she pursed her lips, and her eyes turned around in the front hall: "Can't you sleep in such a big place as this front hall?" ”
Yan Xiaowei shook her head: "No, the walls of this front hall are thin, and the two doors and windows are filled with wind, it's good to have the sun during the day, but if you live in it at night, you will suffer from the wind and cold!" If it's serious, you might have a stroke! ”
Liu thought for a moment: "Since this is the case, then let Yaxiang or Lingxiang stay alone, and the other person will go back to Yan's Mansion, and the vacated place will be replaced by Mama Wang." ”
Yan Xiaoyi's face was embarrassed: "Mother, you don't know, my medical hall itself is cheaper than other companies to see a doctor and grab medicine, and the profit is still not much." I was too busy to ask a guy to help, but when I counted the money, it was really not enough. Fortunately, Yaxiang and Lingxiang are clever, and they have only been working hard for a few months, and they have understood a lot of medicine and helped me a lot. Now that the two of them are suddenly leaving, then the hospital will be even less staffed. ”
As she spoke, she paused, raised her eyes and quietly looked at Liu's eyes: "Mama Wang is so old, I'm afraid that this medical pharmacology is not very familiar, and her hands and feet are definitely not as fast as that of a young girl." What's more, even if she is nimble, I don't dare to instruct her to work as an old man! ”
Liu's lips were pursed, and his face was tense, like a tightened bow: "So, you have such a big medical center, and you can't put a single Mama Wang?" ”
Yan Xiaowei blinked innocently: "Mother, you also saw it, it's not that I don't want to put it, it's just that I don't have a place here!" ”
Liu's willow eyebrows were upside down, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the table: "You girl, do you take me as a mother in your eyes?" Today, you have to accept this Wang Mama, and if you don't accept it, you have to accept it! It's a big deal that Yaxiang or Lingxiang is gone, I'll pay to hire a guy for you! ”
