The seventh girl didn't expect that Li Man'er was so foul-mouthed. She was trying to flatter herself overtly and covertly, but she spoke very calmly, as if to say, look, I am such a straightforward person who speaks freely.
You know I'm domineering and arrogant, don't treat me like I am.
Miss Xiao Qi was very angry, but she couldn't show it, so she could only smile and say: "Girl, you are worrying too much. He who is clean will be clean himself, why should he care about what others think."
"Even though people in the capital still said I was brainless and vulgar, I never took it to heart."
Miss Xiao Qi wished she could break her teeth. Don't people in the capital have eyes? This person is obviously a person with a black face. Who spread the word about her being so stupid and vulgar?
"Miss Li, in front is the wing where the Marquis lives. Let's go there!"
"Okay, please, Miss Xiao Qi." Li Man'er smiled slightly and made an inviting gesture.
The warm sun in winter shone down, forming a huge halo behind Li Man'er, softening the girl's originally sharp and arrogant eyebrows, adding a bit of coquettishness that was not in her character.
Li Man'er was born extremely beautiful. Not to mention this desolate place in Mobei, even in a place like the Imperial City where there was always no shortage of beauties, no one could match her in terms of appearance.
Xiao Qi was slightly stunned, but he quickly came over and said, "Miss Li, you are a guest, please go ahead."
Li Maner took the lead and walked over.
There was someone guarding the door of the wing. When the two guards saw it was Miss Xiao Qi, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted, "Miss Qi."
"Seventh girl."
"How are you today, Lord Marquis?"
"It's still the same. Doctor Feng just left. He had been doing acupuncture for Mr. Hou."
Miss Xiao Qi nodded, "This is Miss Li, the eldest daughter of the Marquis. She came all the way from the capital to take care of the Marquis and detoxify him. The girl behind is her maid. From now on
The two of them can come in and out of this courtyard at will, do you understand?"
this yard.
Li Maner curled her lips secretly, which meant that they could not go anywhere except this courtyard.
What is the difference between this and imprisonment?
But fortunately, she never cared about this. Just these few people trying to trap her? It was nothing more than a dream.
"Yes, I understand."
Miss Xiao Qi seemed very satisfied, nodded and said: "Open the door."
The two of them quickly opened the door. Miss Xiao Qi looked at the mother-in-law behind her and said, "You stay here and don't disturb Mr. Hou's rest."
"yes."
"yes."
The two women responded respectfully and stood aside to wait.
Miss Xiao Qi accompanied Li Man'er into the house. Liu Ya was Li Man'er's maid and was carrying a medicine box, so she naturally followed her in.
Although I live in a wing room, the room is quite spacious. It is not cold at all. It is probably because of the charcoal basin. It is quite warm. The most important thing is that there is obviously a patient who does not know anything about it, but there is only a faint smell in the air.
It has a medicinal smell and no bad smell.
The outer room is the guest room, and the inner room is the bedroom.
Miss Xiao Qi then said: "Miss Li, I am a daughter's family after all. It is not convenient for me to go in, so I will wait for you here."
"Okay!" Li Man'er walked in and was slightly in a trance when he saw Li Shu.
The houses in Mobei all have kangs. Li Shu was lying quietly on the kang at this moment, with a quilt covering him. He was very thin, much thinner than before the expedition. Lying there he looked like a person who had just died.
No consciousness.
Li Man'er lifted the quilt and took a look. Li Shu was wearing single clothes, probably for the convenience of acupuncture. Fortunately, the room was warm as spring, and the quilt covering him was thick, so he couldn't get cold.
Li Shu's face was very clean, his beard was well groomed, and his bun was neat. He only smelled of medicine and no other peculiar smell. It was obvious that someone was taking good care of him.
It's just that he has lost too much weight, his cheeks are sunken, and he no longer looks as graceful as before.
Just as Li Man'er was about to check Li Shu's pulse, he heard someone outside the door say: "Young lady, this slave girl is here to serve the Marquis."
My dear, are you still serving the Marquis?
These words made Li Man'er a little wary. She walked out casually and saw a woman kneeling on the ground outside.
She lowered her head and couldn't see clearly what she looked like. She could only see that she had a slim figure and she must be young.
"Miss Xiao Qi, who is this person and why do you say he serves my father?"
Miss Xiao Qi's face was slightly red, "Oh, how do you say this!" Her awkward and embarrassed look was equivalent to telling Li Man'er the answer.
The girl who was kneeling on the ground kowtowed to Li Man'er and said: "Girl, don't make it difficult for Miss Qi, slave... I am here to serve the Marquis. The Marquis was seriously injured and fell asleep, but he could not take medicine, take a bath, and have daily necessities such as food and clothing.
Can't live without people, so the seventh girl pointed out the servant to come and serve her."
"You raise your head."
The girl raised her head.
In later generations, the age of more than 20 years old was the prime of life. In ancient times, she was an old girl. However, she still wore her hair in a girlish style, which shows that she was not married.
She has an upper-middle-class appearance, and her appearance is not that intensely beautiful. Instead, she has the feeling of a small flower or grass. She is quiet and fair, which makes people feel comfortable looking at her.
The Xiao family is really full of tricks and tries every possible means to plot against them.
"Seventh girl, this beautiful lady Yunying is unmarried and wears her hair in a girl's style. How can we let her serve her father?"
"The Marquis has a high status. If he sends a woman or a mother-in-law here, it will be an insult to the Marquis. Men are clumsy and can't do such delicate work." When Miss Xiao Qi said this, she couldn't help but sigh.
In one breath, "Girls who are too young are not stable. After many choices, only my daughter is the most suitable. She is engaged, but the man is gone, so naturally the marriage does not count. We in Mobei and
The capital is very different. There is no such thing as being a spoiled person. Doesn’t it feel inappropriate for a young lady?"
"The reputation of a girl's family is most important. What will happen to my dear girl in the future?"
"Big girl!" Jiao Niang kowtowed again, "I know that I have a humble status and am not worthy of serving the Marquis. When the Marquis recovers, I am willing to kill myself and will never tarnish the reputation of the Marquis."
Li Maner smiled, that kind of nonchalant, blatantly sarcastic smile that made Miss Xiao Qi feel very annoying. It was as if she had already seen through everything and just didn't say anything.
"It's good that you are loyal."
Just when Jiao Niang breathed a sigh of relief, Li Man'er suddenly took out a purse from his arms, and then took out a black pill from the purse and handed it to Jiao Niang, "This medicine is for intestinal rupture."
If you take the pill, you won't die immediately, but you have to take the antidote every seven days, otherwise you will die of intestinal rupture and rot. If you are loyal, do you dare to take this medicine?"
Jiao Niang flinched and involuntarily turned her head to look at Miss Seven.
