Thinking of this, Li calmed his mind, walked out of the middle, raised his voice and asked the mother-in-law waiting outside, and made an angry face, "Aunt Zhang's stomach hurts, why hasn't the doctor come yet?" ”

There were two mothers-in-law of the Zhang family waiting outside, and the rest were brought by the Li family, and Liu's mother immediately stepped forward and replied when she heard this: "Mrs. Hui, I have already invited it, I believe it should be soon." ”

Sure enough, after a while, the doctor rushed over with sweat on his back, and saw the residence of Aunt Zhang, the concubine of Fang Jinglan, the deputy envoy of the pacification department who often came to consult him, and settled his mind, although he was surprised that the girl who came to invite him today was not the familiar Qiu mother, but he didn't think much about it, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw a young woman in gorgeous clothes with a dignified face looking at him with a smile, and her tone was gentle, "Presumably Your Excellency is Dr. Liao, who often sees a doctor for Aunt Zhang, the little woman Li, is the head of the Fang Mansion, I thanked Dr. Liao for my lord. Aunt Zhang is unwell, so please ask the doctor to go to the inner room for diagnosis and treatment. ”

The etiquette of men and women is very strict, but the doctor and the woman in the house did not have too much defense, it was Dr. Liao who hurriedly made a gesture towards the Li family and walked inside, he saw Aunt Zhang, and saw that she looked a little frightened, and gently advised, "Madame, don't panic, let the old man take the pulse first." ”

After Dr. Liao diagnosed and treated the fat pulse, he said to the other party: "Don't panic, Mrs. Zhang, it's just caused by depression and frailty." The old man prescribed a few patches of medicine and it was fine. ”

Fang Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to thank him, when he suddenly heard Li snort coldly, "Since Aunt Zhang was pregnant, she has been diagnosed and treated by Dr. Liao, and I have also heard that Dr. Liao is the leading doctor in Jinan City, why did she let Aunt Zhang suffer that heartache again and again?" Is Dr. Liao's medical skills not proficient? ”

As a doctor, and a slightly famous doctor, it is a big insult to be accused of poor medical skills, and Dr. Liao is also out of the list, hearing the words so angry that his beard trembles, his voice is quite sad and indignant, and he said suddenly: "Madam, what do you mean by this?" The old man has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has never failed, what is the intention of the lady to accuse him so much? ”

Li Shi smiled faintly: "I don't dare, I'm just wondering, I also had a stomachache a while ago, but after Dr. Liao's medicine, I was fine, why didn't I care about Aunt Zhang?" Is it Aunt Zhang's weak body, or Dr. Liao's medical skills? ”

Doctor Liao immediately said that of course it was Aunt Zhang's weak body that caused the recurrence of the disease, and Li Shi heard that the other party Jinglan said: "If what Dr. Liao said is true, then the master is too much, Aunt Zhang is weak, and you are willing to let her suffer from this kind of childbirth, and you are not afraid that Aunt Zhang can afford it." ”

Fang Jinglan was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly asked Doctor Liao, how weak Aunt Zhang's body was, Doctor Liao was about to speak, then Li spoke again, "Master, Doctor Liao has treated Aunt Zhang many times, but it still makes Aunt Zhang recur, I think I don't take Dr. Liao's medicine, change Ming'er, the concubine let the old lady come forward, and ask Doctor Fu in the south of the city to take a look, the concubine heard that although Doctor Fu is young, he is extremely powerful in terms of women and children, please come and take a look, I believe that Aunt Zhang's stubborn illness can be cured." Although he was talking to his own master, but his eyes were directed at Dr. Liao, who had practiced medicine for many years, and often dealt with women in the inner house, how could he not know the crooked intestines in the inner house, his mind turned very fast, it seems that although this Aunt Zhang is favored, but her identity is there, no matter how much she tosses, she can't go beyond Mrs. Liao, he can't take his reputation for a few dollars, especially when it looks like this Li family is prepared, and he doesn't want to let the surname Fu pickle the child get it. So he immediately pretended to be angry and said: "What does Madam mean by this, I think the old man is not good at medicine?" You know, seven points of healing, three points of conditioning, Aunt Ling Fu is actually not sick at all, it is just a dirty trick of the women in the house to take the opportunity to compete for favor, why did the lady blame the old man for these grievances? ”

*

Later, under the threat of Li's posture to change the doctor, he finally forced out Aunt Zhang's trick of pretending to be sick and competing for favor, Li originally thought that Fang Jinglan's temper, even if he was not angry, would be furious, but that Zhang was extremely capable, and actually said that the straight cry was bent, and finally when it came to the excitement, that Aunt Zhang actually had fetal gas, and I don't know if she deliberately hit the cabinet, or she was really stimulated, in short, she gave birth to a daughter half a month in advance.

Aunt Zhang has been crying since she gave birth to her daughter, crying non-stop, aggrieved, pointing to the sky, crying so much that Fang Jinglan, who was originally angry, felt guilty again, feeling that he had wronged her.

Aunt Zhang saw that Fang Jinglan's face softened and covered her face and cried: "Master, I know that the ruined body of the concubine costs the wife a lot of money, please ask the doctor for money, the girls need money for service, and money for medicine, the wife is angry in her heart, so she beat me with Dr. Liao, the concubine is really useless, except for making trouble for the lord and making the wife ruin, it is really useless, master, in the future, the concubine will definitely take care of her body and never get sick again, please persuade the lady to let the lady not splash those sewage on the concubine's body, What is the next trick to compete for favor with the belly, although the concubine is in the middle of the family and has no property, but she is also an official lady who has been pampered and raised, and she knows that the most important thing for a woman is the name, if this reputation is lost, what is the meaning of the concubine to live? After saying this, he said it desolate and difficult, pitiful, pear blossom with tears, sad and tactful, like a cuckoo crying blood, listening to Fang Jinglan's ears, it was tantamount to slapping him on the spot, he secretly hated in his heart, good you Li, it is too immoral, even if Aunt Zhang is sick, she has never spent your money to ask for a doctor. Why are you so calculating? While comforting Aunt Zhang, he said hatefully: "That ignorant woman, narrow-minded, can't tolerate you so much, even this kind of behavior is too disappointing to me, don't be too sad, I'll go over and send her later, see if she dares to be mean to you." ”

Aunt Zhang hurriedly stopped him, begging him not to look for his wife's stubble, she said sadly: "Mrs. has been looking at the concubine unpleasantly, if this time the master goes to find the wife's stubble for the concubine, it is obviously for the concubine to be angry, but secretly it is for the concubine to plant the root of the curse?" Ignoring the weak body that had just given birth to a child, he knelt on the couch and glanced at Fang Jinglan, "If the master is really thinking about the concubine, don't go to the wife to reason again, master, you can give the concubine a place to live, right?" Please, sir. After hearing this, Fang Jinglan hated the Li family even more, and felt even more pity for Aunt Zhang, so he lifted her up, let her lie down, and sighed: "You are so wronged, how can I be good?" ”

Aunt Zhang wiped her tears and said softly: "The concubine has true feelings for the master, there is no falsehood, for the sake of the master, what is the point of this hardship?" I just want to be able to mix with the old man and never give up. ”

Fang Jinglan was greatly moved, and felt even more guilty about her, and comforted her, under Aunt Zhang's true feelings, she was moved for a while, and allowed her to allow the child to be raised by her side, and made an exception to find a nurse and daughter-in-law for the child to wait, and privately gave a hundred taels of silver to make money with her.

After that, Fang Jinglan really listened to Aunt Zhang's exhortation and didn't blame Li too much, but he didn't go to Li's room for three months, and Li was so angry that he almost vomited blood. However, she didn't vomit blood, although Aunt Zhang's black and white reversal pulled Fang Jinglan's heart back a lot, but she sat in confinement, no matter how she pretended to be weak and pitiful, she couldn't pull Fang Jinglan's body back, in Aunt Zhang's confinement and even for most of the next half a year, Fang Jinglan went to Yiqingxuan a lot less often than before, but went to Zhu's room the most, Li was happy and worried, but she regarded it as good news for the time being.

In the same year, Li salivated a baby girl, when he heard Wen Po say that the child was a daughter, Li was inevitably depressed, although Fang Jinglan already had two sons and a daughter under the knee of his former deceased wife, that is, Li's sister, and then a son and a daughter born to Aunt Zhang, as a stepfamily, Li did not have fertility pressure, but all women love to have sons, and feel that only when they give birth to a son is a long face, and their mouths must be long.

During Li's depression, Liu's mother comforted her again, "Mrs. is a blessed one, the two brothers and one sister left by the eldest lady above, although they are all raised by the old lady's side, but you still have to respectfully call you mother, Mrs. is the identity of an aunt, I don't know how strong it is to be better than my mother, and in the future, my wife will be better to my brothers and sisters, as if it has been out, I believe that Mrs.'s blessing is definitely a thousand times better than that, ten thousand times." ”

Li was weak, looked at his infant daughter, and looked disgusted, "Maybe Zhili and Zhiyi are both promising children-------

Mother Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that she wanted to open it, and said, "Doesn't Mrs. still have Aunt Zhu?" Over the past year, the lord has been very fond of Aunt Zhu, although it is not as important as that of that person, but there is also a place, as long as the wife holds Aunt Zhu, she will not worry about the one who does not jump her feet. If Aunt Zhu has a body and gives birth to a brother, the wife will definitely raise him in front of her and treat him as if she has come out, in this way, she can not only hit that person, but also put on the demeanor of her mother-in-law, who doesn't praise Mrs. for being virtuous? ”

Li thought about it and felt that it was the only way to do it, but he thought it was inappropriate, and asked, "What if it's a girl?" ”

Mother Liu smiled, "That's not simple, then it's not a threat to the wife, it's also raised in front of you, you can give the second lady a companion, and then disturb it, and the two of them together will deal with one, so it's not stable to win?" Hearing this, Li's eyebrows fluttered, and he felt that Mother Liu was really powerful, and she could think through everything. She hugged her daughter again, kissed her on the tender cheek, and laughed: "The nurse is right, two girls deal with one, and there is no chance of winning." ”
