General doctor's wife

Chapter 10
Pingxihou Mansion.

"A bunch of waste, even such a few maids can't be arranged!" Ping Xihou gritted his teeth and suppressed it from his throat in a low voice.

"Master Hou, Madam is here." There was a soft knock on the door.

After a while, Ping Xihou's indiscriminate voice came: "Madam please come in."

Mrs. Pingxihou is less than thirty years old, but because she is a courtier's wife of a first-class family in Shangjing, she dresses very calmly.

She walked in with a smile on her face, and blessed her body: "Master Hou."

Ping Xihou immediately stepped forward to help her up: "I've said it so many times, Madam and I don't need to do this."

Pingxihou's wife, Mrs. Liu, her natal family is the Duke of Maoguo.Back then, Marquis Pingxi asked to marry the Liu family in order to obtain the support of Lord Maoguo, so that Marquis Pingxi's mansion could become a real first-class family in Shangjing.

He has always respected his first wife and never offered to take concubines. However, Mrs. Liu has always been childless, and with guilt in her heart, she gave Lu Pingan a few charming concubines.

"Madam came here today, what's the matter?" Lu Pingan asked softly, helping Mrs. Liu to sit on the chair.

Liu's expression was a little worried: "Today General Lu brought his wife to serve tea, I heard that he doesn't respect his mother very much."

"Oh? What did she say?" Lu Ping'an asked with great interest.

"She said to ask my mother not to be too tired, and to share some of the family affairs with me. She also said to feel the pulse of my mother and prescribe a prescription."

Hearing this, Lu Pingan immediately understood what Liu meant, and looked at Liu with a little apology: "Mother is such a stubborn person, and she is not willing to let go of power, so we don't have much to say, I have wronged you. "

Mrs. Liu sighed slightly in her heart, but smiled softly on her face: "What did Master Hou say? This concubine just happens to be lazy, so I have to work hard for my mother."

Lu Ping'an patted Liu Shi's shoulder comfortingly, but his mind drifted back to the smiling face from the morning...

"Since I've left you guys here, you have to stay in the mansion well. I only have one requirement for you, and that is to be loyal to the general's mansion and know what to say and what not to say." Qin Ranran was still sitting in the front hall, He took another sip of tea.

"I always pay attention to rewards and punishments when I do things. Ms. Liu, tell them about the rules in the house and the monthly money later. I'll pick someone to take care of me when everything is tidied up tomorrow." After Qin Ranran finished speaking, she took Lu Cheng Ann brought her the paper bag, and the two walked back to the main courtyard hand in hand.

"Why don't you choose someone now?" Lu Chengan raised his eyebrows.

Qin Ranran opened the paper bag, took out a chicken paw and bit it in her mouth: "Tomorrow I will choose someone to serve next to me, and see if anyone can't sit still tonight."

"Ranran, I found that you have changed a lot." Lu Chengan took a bamboo stick and tied a piece of stewed beef and sent it to Qin Ranran. "Sometimes I suspect that you are a different person."

Qin Ranran's body stiffened, she didn't dare to look up at Lu Chengan's expression, she wondered if he was happy or disappointed, whether his eyes were filled with inquiry or doubt?

"But this is very good. If I go out, I don't have to worry about others bullying you." Lu Chengan's tone was calm, but there was a hint of joy in it, "I used to worry that you would not adapt to the inner house life after marriage. , I was still thinking, if you really don’t get used to it, you shouldn’t participate in those social interactions between the female relatives. I didn’t expect you to get used to it pretty well.”

"If I don't participate in the communication between the female relatives, you won't get some news..." Qin Ranran blurted out, a little lost.

"I'm an imposing seven-foot man, and I act openly and aboveboard. Why do you have to hang around to find out news for me?" Lu Chengan's expression became serious, and there was a hint of pride between his brows.

Seeing the trace of pride on his face, Qin Ranran felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

In his previous life, he was such a proud and magnanimous person, so he must have been taken advantage of.

Lu Chengan, in this life, I will never just hide behind you like in my previous life.

"General, Eunuch Liu is here." Director Ma's voice sounded from the side, "It is said that there is an order from the empress."

Qin Ranran and Lu Chengan exchanged glances, but they didn't expect the queen to send a message so soon.

"The Queen's Majesty's order is to invite General Pingxi and his wife to enter the palace tomorrow. His Majesty and Madam will hold a luncheon to celebrate the two newlyweds." Eunuch Liu finished speaking with a smile, took the red envelope handed over by Manager Ma, and told Lu Chengan After exchanging a few pleasantries, they returned to the palace.

"Go and prepare the carriage and guards for entering the palace tomorrow." Lu Chengan told Manager Ma, "Call Manager Li over, I have something to ask him."

Manager Ma was startled, then nodded and stepped back.

Lu Chengan didn't notice Manager Ma's actions, but Qin Ranran did. Reminiscent of the scene on the guillotine in the previous life, there was no Mr. Ma, only Mr. Li stubbornly refused to bow his head...

She closed her eyes tightly, and opened them a moment later, her tone was the same as usual: "Since tomorrow is lunch, and we are asked to arrive at Chenshi, I think the Empress will definitely let me feel her pulse, and I want to go see it later Read medical books, let Liu Mama and Mai Sui accompany me, you send a few people to the place where the maids are placed to look at them, choose clever ones, and tell me what they said and did in it."

Lu Chengan responded with a smile, and when Manager Li came over, he ordered Manager Li, and then said to Qin Ranran: "If there is any inconvenience in the future, and when I am not at home, you can tell Uncle Li, Uncle Li It's one of our own."

The tone was serious, just like when he told himself that Mama Liu and Maisui were his own people.

Qin Ranran looked at the 40-year-old man in front of her, and said with a smile, "I will have to trouble Uncle Li in the future."

Mr. Li pursed his lips, and his expression softened a lot: "Just do as Madam tells you."

Lu Chengan took Manager Li to his study, and Qin Ranran and Mama Liu Maisui also returned to his main courtyard.

She took a medical book and flipped through it, looking at the content that she had memorized by heart, she put the book aside.

"Mother Liu, Maisui, come and sit down." She thought for a while, and then said to the two who stood aside and had not spoken.

The two of them didn't refuse, and moved to the little man beside the kang in front of the window to sit down.

"What's going on with Manager Ma and Manager Li?" She asked directly.

Mother Liu seemed a little surprised. She looked up at Qin Ranran and saw her serious face, so she quickly sat up straight: "The general was served by Manager Li when he was young. He is very trusted by the general. Speaking of which, Mai Sui She is Director Li's daughter."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ranran glanced at Maisui, and said in surprise, "Is there such a thing? I don't even know about it."

Maisui pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not a big deal. If Madam arranges for me in the future, I'll go and tell my father."

Mother Liu continued: "As for Manager Ma, it was sent by the General's House of Internal Affairs when the General opened the mansion. The General has always entrusted him with some trivial things to do. The really important things have always been done by Manager Li. "

Qin Ranran tapped the kang table with her fingers, and suddenly asked, "I'm going to pick a maid today, who else knows besides the two of you?"

Mother Liu thought for a while: "It's not easy for us to go out. I asked Mr. Ma to handle this matter. Ma'am means..." At this point, Mother Liu's face has changed a few times.

"Mai Sui, go and tell your father that Jean is keeping an eye on Manager Ma's movements, especially the connection with the Hou Mansion."

　My aunt hurts, if there is something wrong, please point it out.
