Reborn Doctor

Chapter 49

Mrs. Lu hadn't said such a word of punishing a servant for many years, but she said it out of the blue today, which shocked Mrs. Anpinghou and Liuli.

"Yes!" Liuli paused, immediately put down her fan, and walked out of the room quickly.

"What's the matter, mother? Don't she want to?" Madam Anping Hou said and immediately stood up: "I don't know how to flatter you! How dare she refuse a marriage from the Anping Hou Mansion?"

With that said, I'm going to find Su's theory!
"Stop!" Mrs. Lu shouted with a bluff.

"Mother!" Mrs. Anping Hou was a little displeased: "They are the kind of people who are shameless. Why do you have to discuss with them? Now they are living under the eaves of our Kou family. They have to bow their heads! She If you don't want to, I'll just tie her up and tie her to the Anping Hou Mansion!"

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Lu became even more angry when she saw her daughter so restless: "Are you married, or are you an enemy? That is not an enemy with whom you have an unshakable hatred, but the Kou family, your direct relatives." Uncle's only granddaughter!"

"Mother!" Mrs. Anping Hou was so aggrieved by Mrs. Lu's intimidation, she choked up and said, "It was you who promised me that this matter would be done. I have already written to tell Mr. Hou, and my mother-in-law said that the marriage If I don't settle down for a day, I won't be able to return to the capital!"

"Are you just so obedient and let her handle it?" Mrs. Lu was so angry that she slapped her face on the bed, "I have worked so hard to raise you for so many years, and I let you let her rub you round and squish like this? Why are you so useless? ! As long as you have half of my scheming and tolerance, you won't be able to reach today..."

"You are my biological mother. If you don't help me now, you still blame me!" Madam Anpinghou burst into tears: "You agreed to this marriage at the beginning. If it weren't for you, how could I have married so far away in the capital? There is no place to complain about my grievances. I finally went back to my mother's house, and you still say that about me..."

The more Mrs. Anping Hou talked, the more aggrieved she became.

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Lu said softly, "It's because I am your mother that I say this to you. I'm not blaming you, I'm teaching you. When you encounter problems, if you are willing to listen to me , I am also Amitabha Buddha!"

"Then what should we do now? Could it be that the Su's mother and daughter are not willing?" As soon as the Su's mother and daughter were mentioned, Mrs. Anpinghou became furious again.

"How do you know that people don't want it!"

"Didn't you just say..."

"Mrs. Su didn't say she didn't want to!" Mrs. Lu looked at Mrs. Anpinghou's red eyes, and sighed inaudibly: "It's just that Kou Tong is already engaged!"

"How did this happen? How did this happen?" Mrs. Anpinghou turned around anxiously: "Then what should I do? Then what should I do now? Am I going to never return to the capital?"

She grabbed Mrs. Lu's arm and grabbed Mrs. Lu's arm until it hurt: "Mother, you must help me, you can't leave me alone, mother!"

Thinking about how my Lu family was strong all my life, why did I give birth to such a useless daughter!

Mrs. Lu's eyes turned from the arm that was sorely grabbed by Kou to her face!
Looking at her daughter's anxious face, Mrs. Lu let herself ignore the pain in her arm, but said a little tiredly: "Peony, don't worry, I will help you if I don't help you!"

"That's good! Then I can rest assured!" Mrs. Anpinghou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Mom, what are your plans?"

"Mr. Su told me that the person who has a marriage contract with Kou Tong is the eldest son of the Zheng family, who is now a student at the Nanzhili Imperial Hospital. This marriage contract was made between his father Zheng Hai and your cousin Kou Junying when they were in the capital." , It has been many years now, and the Zheng family has never mentioned this matter. According to my guess, the Zheng family may not want to recognize this engagement!
Kou Tong and the Su family have been away from Beijing for many years, and their lives and deaths are unknown. Perhaps the Zheng family thought they would never come back! "

"Hmm!" Mrs. Anping Hou was a little happy: "That's right! What mother said is that the brother of the Zheng family may have re-engaged with another lady!"

"You're right!" Mrs. Lu nodded, "However, I'm afraid that the Zheng family is still waiting for Kou Tong. Although it's unlikely, we can't take it lightly!"

"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Anpinghou panicked again.

"So in the past few days, I have ordered people to detain the Su family's mother and daughter in the yard and not let them go out, so that they will have no chance to contact the Zheng family! Now, I will go inquire and see if the Zheng family still recognizes them. Recognize this relative, if the Zheng family refuses to recognize this relative, then everything will be easy to handle."

"Then what if the Zheng family still recognizes such a marriage?"

"Then I'll tell the Zheng family that Kou Tong's mother and daughter have died outside, and let them find another spouse. During this period, I will be a matchmaker for the Zheng family brother, and this matter will be fine. Until then, Su Even if the mother and daughter find the Zheng family, it will be useless!"

The Marquis of Anping became happier the more they heard it: "Mother's method is really good. I won't worry about it this way!"

"That's not enough!" Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "I will find someone to talk to Kou Tong about the benefits of your eldest son, and say that you are interested in her and want her to marry into the Marquis of Anping, so I don't worry if she won't be tempted. That Kou Tong has only studied for a few years, and has been raised in the countryside since then, so she may not have seen much of the world, and with a family like the Marquis of Anping, she will definitely be tempted!"

Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter and said confidently: "At that time, the Zheng family will have married someone else, and Kou Tong himself is willing to marry into the Marquis of Anping, so even if the Su family doesn't agree, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Because there was ice in the room, Kou Tong felt that life in Kou's house was much better than she imagined this afternoon!Because it was too hot last night, she didn't sleep well, so she took a late sleep in the afternoon.

When she woke up, she realized that the ice had already melted!The originally cool inner room became steamy.

And her mother was sitting next to her, taking a big cattail fan and fanning her back and forth.

Because the weather is very hot, even if there is a wind, I don’t feel cool, but it’s not so boring after all!

"You're awake!" Su Shi said with a smile: "Get up and wash your face, you can see that your face is covered with sweat, and it's also got the imprint of a mat!"

"Didn't they bring the ice?" Kou Tong rubbed his eyes and asked.

"No, it won't be delivered until dinner time! But it's coming soon, and it's time for dinner!" Seeing Kou Tong's dazed look, Su Shi said, "I'm afraid I will use it tonight." There's no more ice!"

Only then did Kou Tong realize that it was already dark outside!
She got up from the bed, walked to the Ming Hall, looked at the cloudy sky outside, and then went back to the house to wash her face: "It's not necessary, I'm afraid there will be a lot of rain! You can eat again tomorrow." Deep-fried climbing monkey!"

"You! I just want to eat it!" Su said, "I just want to eat it secretly, so that no one else will know, otherwise I will definitely think you are a weirdo!"

Climbing monkey is the common name for the unhatched cicada!
Every summer, cicadas will lay eggs after mating. The cicadas are on the tree, and the eggs will fall directly into the soil near the roots of the books.The cicada eggs in the soil will grow into cicada chrysalis, which survive by sucking the sap from the roots of the trees. They often live in the soil under the trees for two or three years, and then in a summer evening when the soil is wet after rain, Climb out.

In the middle of the night, they will crawl out of the soil and climb up the tree along the trunk. During the climbing process, they will shed their shells and become real cicadas.

Cicadas that have not come out of the shell are called climbing monkeys.

When he was in Fanshui Town, Kou Tong liked to wait by the tree on a rainy night, and then he could see many climbing monkeys lying on the tree one after another.

She would pinch them one by one and put them in her pocket. When she got home, she could peel off the shells and fry them to eat. The meat was tender and delicious. Cocoa shells could be fried in a frying pan. The outside was charred and the inside was inside. up!
At this time, literati like to praise Zhizhi, because Zhizhi drank dew and sap from the tree, and his conduct was noble.Scholars also like to wear cicada-shaped jade pendants when they take part in scientific examinations, because cicadas stay in the dark soil for a long time, and once they climb out, they climb up the branches and become a blockbuster!I hope that I can be like a cicada and have a good omen!
Those noble and noble things in people's mouths have become Chinese food when they come to Kou Tong.

Whenever he thinks of this, Kou Tong finds it funny!

The master told her that crawling monkeys can invigorate the spleen and kidneys, nourish the lungs and liver, and it is good for the body!
Although these two trees are few, they are very big, so there must be quite a few of them, otherwise they wouldn't be called Cicada Garden.

After dinner, the heavy rain poured down, as if tearing a hole in the canopy of the sky.
After finally cooling off, Kou Tong quickly took out the medical books and studied hard!
The night is getting deeper and the rain has stopped!The mother and daughter carried a small gauze lantern and fumbled around under the tree.

In the early morning of the next day, Kou Tong got up early, and before the weather was too hot, she wanted to go out to the market and buy some daily necessities.

Because when she was in Fanshui Town, Kou Tong often went to and from the villages and towns alone, so the Su family was very relieved that she wanted to go out.He just told her to be careful on the road, to come back when it was too hot, and to hire a carriage to come back if she couldn't remember the way.

"...The old lady said that if the family members want to go out, the old lady must agree!"

At the second door, the woman guarding the gatehouse lowered her waist: "Why don't you go to the old lady's place and tell the old lady that I have nothing to say here if you took the old lady's card."

It is also possible for the female family members of a rich family to go out with the consent of their parents, but I don’t know when the fourth house of the Kou family will do the same!
Hearing what the concierge said, Kou Tong murmured in his heart.

The servants are only following orders!

Kou Tong felt that there was no need to embarrass his subordinates, so he didn't say anything, but turned around and went directly to the Purple Courtyard to find Mrs. Lu.

She had just walked to the gate of the Purple Courtyard when a servant girl ran towards her and bumped into her in a hurry.Kou Tong was fine, but the maid fell to the ground.

While talking about apologizing, the maid got up from the ground with a panicked expression.

Kou Tong saw the person in front of him clearly, and couldn't help being secretly surprised!
