After half an hour, Hong Lian came back in a hurry, followed by a middle-aged doctor, who stood outside the door and waited politely.
"Grandma, this is Dr. Mei from the capital. Steward Lin said that treating trauma is the best, so he invited her here immediately, without daring to delay."
"Okay, please come in." Su Nuannuan got up quickly and laid Zhaocai on the couch.
Hong Lian turned around and invited that Dr. Mei to come in. Seeing the most prestigious doctor in the capital who often went to and from the Duke's mansion, she couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in her heart.
Once upon a time, the eldest grandma was seriously injured and dying. She begged her grandpa to kowtow to the stewards in the mansion, but no one paid any attention to her. In the end, it was a young servant who looked at her pitifully, and then helped her to invite a half-hearted doctor. She was really hopeless, but unexpectedly, the determined grandma suddenly changed her temper and suddenly became positive. And their good life began at that time. Up to now, Dr. Mei, who is well-known in the capital, was invited only to treat a cat.
"This cat is so tenacious."
Seeing Zhaocai's injury, Dr. Mei couldn't help muttering, and then skillfully bandaged Zhaocai's wound, and told him not to give it too good food for the next two days, just some porridge, so that it would make it fragrant. Yun was very worried, and said repeatedly: "With such a serious injury, can't you eat good food? Don't you starve to death?"
Dr. Mei touched Zhaocai, and said with a smile: "This cat is quite fat, no problem, what's more, it's not that I don't want it to eat, I just let it eat some porridge. But the cat is greedy, no Seems like a sensible person, grandma has to put a belt on its mouth to prevent it from stealing."
Su Nuannuan laughed as soon as she heard it, nodded and said: "It seems that the doctor is also a cat lover. He is so clear about the habits of cats."
Dr. Mei smiled and said, "My wife has three cats, they are amazing." After speaking, he drew up a pen and wrote a prescription, let the cats drink the medicine soup and gruel soup after cooking. . The little girls who just watched were amazed, and they all commented: "This cat also needs to be prescribed medicine to cure the disease? Is it the same as a human?"
Dr. Mei is a very good-tempered person. He turned around and said, "Naturally, although humans and cats are different, how similar are their body structures? Cats also have internal organs. Although this cat has a big life, it has internal organs as well. I got some injuries and need to recuperate. It’s just that it’s much more difficult to feed a cat to drink medicine than to give people medicine, so there’s nothing I can do about it, and it depends on grandma’s methods.”
Su Nuannuan solemnly put away the prescription, handed it to Cong'er, and said, "Go to the front yard to find a safe boy. Follow Dr. Mei back to get the medicine."
After paying the consultation fee, Dr. Mei also left. Su Nuannuan gently stroked Zhaocai for a while. It wasn't until it stopped whining softly and finally fell asleep slowly that she stood up and said to Hua'er, "You and Cong'er stay in the house and take care of Zhaocai. Honglian. Xiangyun, let's go .”
"grandmother."
Hong Lian saw her master's sinking face, and knew that she was trying to get rich. It was useless to say what I said earlier, because I yelled in a hurry. But Su Nuannuan turned her head and said viciously: "I was wrong in the past. Since I entered this house, what's the use of me thinking about being alone? Others wish they could eat me alive. If I just give in, I will be able to have a good life." A good result? Pooh! I'm afraid they won't think so? Maybe they have to make an inch of it, today it's a fortune, a cat, I'll take it easy, next time maybe something happens to the onion and flowers, and then It's the two of you who have been following me, and I'm left alone in the end. Naturally, it's easier to fiddle with, or, you just confront me and think of a way to harm me. This is all possible. Relying on your master, do you expect him to Give me a talisman at home every day? People still have to rely on themselves, since they are in the first day of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteenth, go."
"What rules does grandma have?" Don't look at Honglian's previous advice to Su Nuannuan not to push her head, it was just because she took care of her master's "independent" thoughts, and when she heard such words at this time, she knew that grandma already knew it. This backyard is powerful, and if she wants to rise up, this girl can only be happy: at first, this is the performance of a qualified wife of the prince.
"Yes." Su Nuannuan nodded: "Isn't Aunt Lu the chief manager of the backyard in this mansion? Let's go find her."
Hong Lian hurriedly said: "Grandma is wrong, what is your identity? No matter how honorable the Lu family is, there is no need for grandma to go to her in person. There is no need to lose her status. Grandma just sits quietly and waits for the servant to call her over. When the time comes, grandma What did she not listen to?"
Su Nuannuan shook her head and said: "Although I am the wife of the eldest son, I am not the grandma of the family. If I sit here and explain it, the people below will inevitably be obedient. Do you think Grandma Yun or Second Grandma will sincerely ask her to help us? This time Since things are about to come out, we can't leave a trace of hidden dangers, and it turns out to be a joke in the end."
When Honglian thought about it, it made the same sense. If grandma went there in person, it would seem that she would lose her position, but the people below did not dare to fool her, otherwise, the old lady and the master would not let them go if grandma's female prestige broke out.
Yin and Xiangyun silently followed behind Su Nuannuan, looking at each other, they could see the joy that the other was holding back: Grandma is finally coming out, she has truly integrated into this backyard, and one day, she will accept it sincerely Lord's. Both girls are full of hope for the future.
Mrs. Zhang is drinking tea in the room at the moment. Her husband's family name is Lu, so people in this house often call her Aunt Lu, because her mother-in-law is the dowry of Mrs. Fang, and her status in this house is not low, so the family The life is also very good, her husband is in charge of outside affairs, and she is the manager in the backyard of the Marquis Mansion, but this job looks very good, but in fact it is not easy.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang is a smart person. She has been the manager for five years and basically did not make any major mistakes. Even when the wives and concubines of the big house were constantly fighting openly and secretly, she came here comprehensively. Now the general situation is set. Grandma Yun He and the second grandmother are in charge of the house together, although there are turbulent undercurrents, but one is an ordinary wife and the other is a concubine, on the surface they dare not be arrogant, and they have the face of a mother-in-law, so they can deal with it. The one who scratched his head the most was the wife of Shizi. She used to be from a noble family and had a cruel heart. In front of her, she had suffered a lot of grievances. Thank God, she went to Meiyuelou, even though she came back now. It seems that she has won the favor of the old lady and the eldest son with her culinary skills, but after all, she is a woman whose natal family has lost her power. She should laugh when she can go back to the backyard. What else can she cause? Don't you even dare to take back the power of steward
It's nice to have a calm day.
After Mrs. Zhang finished her calculations, she took a sip of tea comfortably and sighed in her heart.
The next moment, I heard footsteps. Open your eyes and take a look. Then I saw Dong's daughter-in-law, who usually assisted her housekeeper, walk in, with a rare nervous look on her face, and saw her open her eyes. Hastily said: "Sister-in-law, the eldest grandma brought the two maids beside her here, what should I do?"
Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat, thinking to herself, isn't it such a coincidence? I just thought that the woman didn't dare to be arrogant. She just showed up and slapped her in the face? What does she have to rely on now? While thinking about it, he asked in surprise, "Are you sure that grandma is looking for us? Didn't she just pass by?"
"No." Dong's daughter-in-law thought for a while. Taking another two steps forward, he said close to Zhang's ear, "The big cat in Chunfengyuan was almost beaten to death just now, the eldest grandma should have come to find sister-in-law for this matter."
Mrs. Zhang was even more astonished, and said puzzledly: "Grandma's cat was almost beaten to death. Why did she come to me? I didn't beat it."
"Sister-in-law, don't you think about it, who hit the cat?" Dong's daughter-in-law almost rolled her eyes, wondering who didn't know that it wasn't you who hit it? Is Grandma here for this? A very smart person on weekdays. Why can't you turn the corner now
Mrs. Zhang really didn't turn the corner, and said confusedly: "The second grandma probably sent someone to beat this cat. It's just that the eldest grandma didn't go to the second grandma, why did she ask us?"
The daughter-in-law of the Dong family was really helpless, so she could only spread her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, the eldest grandma has no evidence, so how can she go to the second grandma to make trouble? She came here now, and it is obvious that she wants us to help her."
"Hehe, there are fewer things she does without evidence?" In the end, the reason why Mrs. Zhang is "stubborn" is because her impression of Su Nuannuan still stays on Su Mengnuan. It can be seen that How important the collection of information is, look, Dong's daughter-in-law understands much better than her.
The daughter-in-law of Dong's family wanted to explain a few more words, but Xiangyun in the yard outside had already said loudly: "Is Aunt Lu there? The eldest grandma is here, and you still haven't come out to greet her, how old is she?"
Mrs. Zhang and Dong's daughter-in-law were taken aback. They rushed out quickly, and said with an apologetic smile, "Grandma, what is your identity? Why did you come to our dirty place? If you need anything, just send someone to tell you, come here in person." , didn’t you kill the servants? Kuang really didn’t expect you to come, but you were negligent, the servants really deserve to die.”
Su Nuannuan knew that these two people were talking nonsense, and there were quite a few daughter-in-laws poking their heads along the way. She didn't believe that these two people didn't know about her coming, but she didn't bother to bother about it, and said straight to the point: "My The cat was beaten today, almost to death. From the Lu family, you are the manager of the backyard of this mansion, and if you give orders, whoever can provide clues to the murderer, I will reward ten taels of silver, first come first served."
Mrs. Zhang was taken aback: ten taels of silver, just for a cat? It's too big a deal. Yin hurriedly laughed and said: "Grandma, it's just a cat, why..." Before she finished speaking, she saw Su Nuannuan's phoenix eyes narrowed suddenly, and said lightly: "Why? You feel it, I don't Are you qualified to stand up for my cat?"
"How dare the servant girl think like this? I'm going to be struck by lightning." Mrs. Zhang felt her liver tremble, and quickly denied it, then heard Su Nuannuan sneer and said: "I know, I went to Meiyue Tower After a few months, now that I am back, the power of stewardship is not in my hands. I am afraid that few people in this mansion will take my words to heart, so didn’t I come to find you in person today? There is no way, who told you I don't have any rights? Fortunately, the lord is kind, so he finally didn't deprive me of my identity as the wife of the shizi, I think... even though I don't have the right, I can still be respected by you, right? "
