I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 349 Arrogant at first and respectful at the end

Mrs. Cui was inexplicably upset. It is still the period of national mourning, so even if I think about taking a concubine for Jiulang, I do it quietly in private. It was obviously a matter that was not written in a single word, how could it be spread to the ears of the eldest daughter who had been out of court for many years? Now that she knows everything, doesn’t it mean that other family members do the same?
The Cui Mansion has a strict door, and she is sure that her servants will never talk nonsense outside, so it is probably the Jing family who leaked the news to the outside.

Fortunately, someone had praised Caiwei in her ears before, saying that Caiwei was cautious when she was in the palace, so she made an exception and agreed to meet her this time. Unexpectedly, she was also very thoughtful.

But if she thought she could control the Cui family in this way, she would be thinking too simply.

"So what if you know?" There was a hint of displeasure in her tone, and she had already thought of several clarification plans in her mind, and she would throw them out as soon as her daughter talked about that matter.

As for the Jing family, since they are so clever at playing tricks, she has her own way of making them reap the consequences. Without the Cui Mansion, the Jing family would be overthrown in just a day or two.

A small official with a 400-ton salary has offended many people in Ye Ting. When the time comes, everyone will push her down, and some are willing to add insult to injury, so there is no need to dirty her hands.

Just as she thought of this, she was brought back to reality by her daughter's soft call.

"Mom? Did you hear what I just said?" Cui Yingniang said with a happy crimson face, smiling.

"Huh? Mom was distracted. Ying Niang, can you say it again?" She said calmly.

"My son just said, I really didn't expect that Mrs. Jing, who was so delicate and beautiful in life, was still a doctor! Mrs. Wang II said it herself that Marquis Feng'an was seriously ill at that time, and all the doctors were helpless, but Mrs. Jing was the only one. She said it could be cured, but she actually cured him!"

"What did you say!" Mrs. Cui's back suddenly straightened: "The mysterious doctor who saved Feng'an Hou was actually Mrs. Jing?"

"Isn't that right? The Wang family has always kept it secret before. If Marquis Feng'an hadn't treated Mrs. Jing so politely, which led to all kinds of speculation among us, then Mrs. Wang would still be unwilling to speak out clearly!"

The joy on Mrs. Cui's face flashed away: "But how old is Mrs. Jing? Even if she studies medicine seriously, what can she learn? I have also heard of those so-called famous doctors who treat things that are not painful or itchy. Warm swallowing is okay, but I don’t dare to take medicine when it comes to acute or severe cases. I think this time it’s just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.”

Cui Yingniang laughed: "When I first heard about it, I thought the same thing as my mother. I just thought she was lucky. But later when I heard Mrs. Wang talk about it in detail, I realized the brilliance of her methods."

Everyone has a desire to gossip. Even if she didn’t believe that Mrs. Jing could really do anything, Mrs. Cui still cheered up a little. She listened to Cui Yingniang’s description of Luo Qianhuai’s method of operating carbuncles, and by the way, she also Added a bit of metaphysical color.

"Ying Niang." Mrs. Cui was silent for a while and then asked her daughter: "Do you think such a thing as caesarean section is true?"

"My daughter has asked Dr. Shao of Shouhe Hall, and he admitted that Mrs. Jing's medical skills are far superior to him." Cui Yingniang said.

Mrs. Cui now understood that she had misunderstood before. Her daughter probably did not know that Madam Jing came to the house yesterday to see her: "So you came back today just to get my permission to let Jing." Is the eldest lady treating Jiulang?"

Cui Yingniang nodded repeatedly: "They all say that people who are ill need to seek medical treatment. Ever since the ninth brother's accident, we have looked for many famous doctors over the years, even the world-famous Dr. Mei, but they are still unable to do anything. Although Mrs. Jing is young, But there is a new way to treat diseases, and it might be Jiu Di's savior. "I'll discuss it with you, Aweng, when he comes back." Mrs. Cui suddenly stopped talking. She thought of the disaster Caiwei told her in tears, which would probably happen today, and she couldn't help but feel some urgency in her heart.

The young emperor has not been on the throne for a long time. Although he has no hands in the affairs of the court, he has the power of life and death over the thousands of people in the inner court. Even the three auxiliary ministers have no right to interfere.

Since the Cui family has decided to stay out of the matter, it is difficult to guess how the young emperor will deal with the Jing family. From cutting off officials, beheading to clan execution, everything is possible.

If we invite him after tomorrow, everyone's heads may have fallen to the ground, which will delay Jiulang's legs.

"Forget it, without further ado, send someone to Haosheng to fetch Madam Jing."

The Cui Mansion governs the family with military laws. As soon as Mrs. Cui spoke, a group of neatly-armored guards came to pick up people in Mrs. Cui's own carriage.

Caiwei was still waiting anxiously for news from the palace. When she suddenly saw this, she couldn't hold back her joy:
"Madam, the Cui Mansion has sent someone to pick you up again!" She smiled so much that deep lines appeared in the corners of her eyes: "Let me tell you, our eldest lady is so good-looking, if someone else's young man is in love with you, If you fail, you must be blind!"

Luo Qianhuai was indifferent. Cui Jiu has made her words clear. The Cui family had such an attitude when they left the house yesterday. Naturally, she has no interest in doing it again.

"No." She refused directly.

"Oops!" Caiwei jumped up and down anxiously. She couldn't understand why she was so calm: "That's the Cui Mansion! The one who came to invite people was Aunt Jiang from Mrs. Cui's side. She also specially arranged for two horses to ride side by side. The car shows how much I value you! Yinyin, listen to me, this is not the time to be petty. There is no way we can refuse a wealthy family like Cui Mansion!"

Luo Qianhuai sighed and put down the pen in his hand: "I will go see them myself."

Caiwei didn't lie. This time, the Cui Mansion's arrangements for picking up people had been upgraded several levels compared to the previous day. A very dignified nanny stood in front of the door, and twenty neatly dressed soldiers silently Surrounded by a parallel chariot with a camphor wood roof and brocade curtains.

As soon as they saw her coming out, everyone bowed neatly and saluted, and the leader of the group, the nanny, said respectfully: "I am here to welcome Madam Jing into the house as ordered by the madam."

"I thought that some things were settled yesterday." Luo Qianhuai said: "Since the Cui Mansion is the home of officials for many generations, I don't think there will be any trouble, right?"

Aunt Jiang's eyebrows skipped a beat, and she thought that Mrs. Jing was actually a temperamental person. It was clearly the Jing family who went up to the pole to beg the Cui family before, but judging from the meaning of her words, it seemed that she was the one being begged. one.

It's a pity that she dared to think about this in her heart, because time had changed, and now it was Cui Mansion who came to ask for help.

Aunt Jiang's order was to invite the person back politely, so there was no way she could argue with Mrs. Jing.
