General doctor's wife

Chapter 11 Prelude to Entering the Palace
The shock in the eyes of the two of them was undisguised.

"I told the two of you that I wanted to pick the maid, so you must have told the general and Mr. Ma, right? Does anyone else know about this?" Qin Ranran picked up a few medical books on the kang, and slowly tidied up.

"We only told the general that Director Li was going to follow into the palace at that time, so please leave this matter to Director Ma." Mother Liu was startled for a moment, and finally understood Qin Ranran's meaning, "Madam, those maids who were elected , is there a problem?"

Qin Ranran chuckled, "Which maid in the dental clinic smells like condensed fragrance?"

"Ningxianglu can't be used by ordinary small households, let alone the maids in dental shops. Besides, the hair is black and shiny, and the waiting posture is standard and graceful. It can be seen that she has received special instruction." Qin Ranran Flipping over a page of the book, he lightly scratched the page.

"Madam has such good eyes, I didn't see it at all..." Maisui looked at Qin Ranran adoringly.

Qin Ranran's eyes remained fixed on that line of writing, but a smile appeared on her mouth: "Go and tell your father, we have to make preparations early."

"Hey!" Maisui agreed crisply, got up and gave a blessing, then turned around and ran out.

Mama Liu sat there without moving. She hesitated for a while before asking, "Ma'am, don't you doubt the two of us?"

Hearing these words, Qin Ranran seemed to see the day when it was snowing heavily again. Mama Liu and Mai Sui's faces turned purple from the cold, but they didn't say a word of begging for mercy, nor did they show any expression of fear.

It seems that being able to live and die with the General's Mansion is really enough.

"I believe you." That's all.

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Liu regained that kind smile on her face, "Then I'll go and prepare the clothes and jewelry for you to enter the palace tomorrow."

Qin Ranran nodded with a smile, and Mother Liu blessed herself, and went to the cage to prepare carefully.

Front yard study.

"Has the gift from Eunuch Liu been delivered?" Lu Chengan looked solemn.

Mr. Li also had a serious face: "Here I am, an authentic copy of Mr. Qi Shi from the previous dynasty. But..." At this point, his face showed hesitation.

"what?"

"I haven't seen Eunuch Liu himself, but a little servant under his command accepted it. The little servant seems to be very disapproving." Mr. Li said in a low voice.

Lu Chengan frowned, thought for a while before saying: "It's okay, Mr. Liu has a lot of affairs in the palace, and there are cases where the servants don't know what to do."

"Tomorrow, Ran Ran and I will enter the palace, you can find Mr. Cheng En..."

The voice in the study room became lower and lower until it was getting late.

As soon as Mr. Li walked out of the study, he saw a pair of resentful eyes staring at him in the dim light.

"You girl, what are you doing here if you don't take good care of Madam?" Mr. Li was startled, but when he took a closer look, he saw that it was his daughter Maisui. He patted his chest in shock and scolded.

Maisui waited for half an afternoon, and the dinner was still useless. She was already hungry, and said in a bad mood: "Father, you are too slow to talk to the general. I have been waiting for you for a long time." .”

"I'm the one who can talk too much when I'm talking to the general!" Manager Li's tone suddenly became severe.

Seeing that Director Li was angry, Maisui didn't dare to talk anymore, and hurried forward a few steps: "Madam asked me to bring you a message."

Manager Li's heart skipped a beat: "What did Madam say?"

Mai Sui looked around carefully to make sure there was no one else, then approached Director Li and said in a low voice, "Madam asked you to send someone to keep an eye on Manager Ma's actions, especially the connection with the Hou Mansion."

"Daddy, you have to take care of your health in the outer courtyard, don't let your daughter worry." Maisui said in a clear voice to Director Li after finishing his business.

Mr. Li immediately put away the doubts in his heart, and said in a serious tone: "You put away your frizzy temper, and work hard with your wife. If something goes wrong, I will never intercede for you."

Mai Sui made a face at Mr. Li, and turned to leave, but suddenly said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, you are here. My father said that he would not intercede for me. In case I make my wife unhappy, Uncle Ma, you Say something nice for me."

Mr. Ma stood at the intersection outside the study with a blank expression. Hearing what Maisui said, he also smiled: "You work hard, how can you make Madam unhappy?"

Maisui sticks out her tongue at the two of them, and bounces back.

Mr. Li's tone was apologetic: "I'm sorry, but I spoiled this child, and he was out of shape when he was young."

Manager Ma smiled: "Brother Li finished talking with Lord Hou? I'll go and tell Lord Hou about entering the palace tomorrow."

Manager Li cupped his hands: "Oh, it's over, it's nothing serious, I'll go back now."

After finishing speaking, he left along the road that Mr. Ma came from.

Manager Li walked all the way, turned a corner at a fork in the road, and turned towards a small courtyard on the west side of the mansion.

"Lu Er, I'll give you a job." Director Li walked into the small courtyard, just in time to see Lu Er who was squatting on the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

Lu Er jumped down from the tree with an excited expression on his face: "Finally I have a job? Say it quickly."

Manager Li looked around, gave a few words of advice in a low voice, and then patted him on the shoulder: "This is the order from Madam herself. You must complete the first task Madam gives you."

"Just wait and see!" Lu Er grinned, "This is what I'm best at."

Manager Li looked at the sky and stretched his waist: "Let's go eat."

"Ma'am, do you think these clothes are good?" Mother Liu looked at them for a while, picked out two of them, and walked over to ask.

Looking at the red jacket embroidered with flowers and butterflies and the matching pink pleated skirt with scattered flowers, Qin Ranran felt a little headache.

"Mother Liu, is this dress too bright? After all, it's entering the palace, so it's not good to be too ostentatious." Qin Ranran asked tactfully.

Mother Liu pondered for a while, then nodded: "That's true, no one in the palace is easy to get along with, so let's change it. Logically speaking, you are only married for the third day, so you should dress festively... "

Qin Ranran listened to her chatter with a smile, and walked to the side of the cage together to choose.

"It's getting late, Maisui hasn't come back yet, Ms. Liu, go to the kitchen and let them prepare dinner." Qin Ranran finally couldn't help but speak when she saw that Ms. Liu's eyes had been sizing up the festive bright red.

Mother Liu turned her head to look at the sky, and finally turned her head: "Mai Sui is clever, she will definitely go to the kitchen to make arrangements when she comes back, I'd better help Madam choose clothes first."

Qin Ranran: "..."

"Why did you set up this kang." As soon as Lu Chengan entered the room, he was startled by the clothes and jewelry on the kang.

Mama Liu bowed immediately: "General, my wife and I are choosing clothes for entering the palace tomorrow."

Seeing Qin Ranran winking at him with a wry smile, Lu Chengan immediately became interested: "I'll take a look too."

Mother Liu pointed to a magenta skirt embroidered with peony patterns and said, "General, how do you like this dress? It's festive and suits Madam's complexion."

Lu Chengan turned his head to look at the apricot-colored peach-blossom and dark-flowered silk jacket and skirt on the side, covered with a pink tulle smock, smiled secretly in his heart, and pointed to Mama Liu's suit: "Mama Liu chose a good one."

Mother Liu straightened her back proudly, while Qin Ranran was dumbfounded.

"But, after all, you are entering the palace, so you can't wear it too conspicuously. It's better to wear this lighter one."

Qin Ranran: ...

　Thank you for your recommendation tickets and catching bugs, bow!
　　Last night, I suddenly added a lot of favorites, and I felt like I was given a red envelope...
