The gatehouse of the Marquis of Nankang's Mansion was newly expanded, with two large inverted rooms and a row of corridors connected to serve as servant rooms.
Because the Marquis was newly married, the black-lacquered beams and the green-lacquered windows of the double house were pasted with the words "Double Happiness" in red. A new pair of thick felts with red, ginger, and dark patterns were hung in the concierge to effectively block the wind.
It's snowing this winter, so I have to hear shouts from outside before I go out to see if any visitors are coming.
Among the house slaves who took turns guarding the door, there were five or six experienced people who had been assigned. They were sitting casually eating tea, with a large charcoal stove burning in the middle and a tin teapot hanging on a handle. Liu Xiaoqi walked in and took a look at the house.
The policemen here all have sharp eyes, tough hands, and a lot of experience, in order to prevent spies from sneaking into the house to assassinate.
In addition, they also took turns following the horses in the morning to see the Marquis to court.
Naturally, they were all capable people selected by Cao Xiwan. Now they are under Qin Meng.
The tea and snacks in this concierge are inevitably more abundant than those in other hotels.
Mao Ergou was Cao Xiwan's companion. He had known them for a long time and it was easy to enter the house. He and Liu Xiaoqi sat having tea separately and whispering in the corner.
"Every government is rushing to post notices to invite Doctor Liu. Where did the rumors come from? Do you dare to say that he is a wild man?"
Mao Ergou knew very well that the scandal between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu might have spread. But he saw that Liu Xiaoqi didn't know about it.
Liu Xiaoqi said carelessly: "My sister asked me to ask at the Yamen, and I will ask."
The sixth wife of Qian'er sent people back to her parents' home to ask her brothers if Doctor Liu was a bastard who set up a trap to defraud people before entering the capital. Liu Xiaoqi and his sister were the best. After getting this job, they asked around at the Yamen and found out
It hit the bowl.
It turned out that it was Chen Qianhu, an in-law of the Liu family, who was in charge of the affairs of Wang Laodang's family, that is, his second sister-in-law's family. He quickly asked his relatives to inquire, and invited the uncle of the Chen family over there to have a drink.
The uncle said that Su Jintian and Su Baihu also asked a few questions about this matter now. He knew the most clearly.
When Mao Ergou heard this, he also laughed: "No wonder, I am still wondering. Uncle Six, you came to Mrs. Cao to inquire."
"Isn't that right? We, Su Baihu, don't care about such trivial matters anymore. I don't know yet?"
Liu Xiaoqi had served as a school captain under Su Jintian, so he understood it as soon as he heard it. Su Jintian was too lazy to ask around, and others couldn't instigate him. I was afraid that Mrs. Cao in the mansion asked me to ask.
He simply went to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division early in the morning, talked to Mao Ergou and entered the house. He asked Granny Map to inform Cao Xiwan. He said that his sister, Mrs. Liu, was worried, fearing that she was a wild man selling fake medicine.
, If Mrs. Cao knows the details, she can tell her sister. He filled in the words "selling fake medicine" himself. Mao Ergou knew as soon as he heard it that Liu Xiaoqi didn't know the inside story, and Mrs. Six didn't mention it either.
Cao Xiwan came up with an excuse to give jewelry and came to see Mrs. Liu. She thought to herself that although Mrs. Liu was reckless, she was also careful.
I won’t say that Doctor Liu has an affair with Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Lei.
Mao Ergou in the concierge also knew this, but of course he abided by the rules and didn't mention it.
After all, there are so many bits and pieces that can be talked about under the covers in every mansion, so why bother mentioning this?
"I'd like to trouble Sister Cao to come all the way." Liu Yu'er, the sixth wife, smiled quickly and heard the girl say that Liu Ruhai's prescription healed in one dose, and he was a miracle doctor. Her suspicions were reduced by half.
Thinking, she had to take a look with her own eyes. She had only seen the doctor's back, not his facial features, whether he was evil or good, but she still didn't feel at ease and had to take a look.
What if the thief who seduced my friend Lady Lei was really a despicable person. She was not polite.
Just by looking at Cao Xi's expression at night, he could see through Mrs. Six's intentions of peeping here.
She didn't interfere with her business. She stood up with a smile and said she was going to Qingque and Linghua's room to talk and copy some new shoes.
Mrs. Six hurriedly smiled and said: "Chengfeng and I have agreed to practice swordplay together. You go and play, Qingque, and stay with your sister Wan. By the way, ask Linghua to put away this jewelry carefully and wear it tomorrow."
"
As soon as the girls disappeared, Mrs. Six picked up her skirt and walked behind the curtain, where she saw Liu Ruhai's silhouette through the curtain.
He took off the six silver needles and put them into the medicine box. He turned his face so that she could see clearly.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be startled.
Just as Cao Xiwan expected, although Cao Xiwan didn't like Liu Ruhai's appearance and temperament, the same could not be said for other women.
When Mrs. Six took a look, she saw that Mr. Liu was so young. He was wearing a green brocade robe and a woolen robe. In the falling snow outside the hall, his eyebrows were like distant mountains and his eyes were full of spring waves, just like a person in a painting.
She couldn't help but secretly wonder, this was the wild doctor that Mrs. Lei mentioned... no, a famous doctor from a well-known family?
The sixth wife, Liu Yuer, has a cheerful personality. She has only been married to the sixth master for a year, and the couple is harmonious.
She is even less stupid.
Now that she saw Liu Sheng's demeanor, she understood. No wonder Cao Xiwan just said implicitly: "Doctor Liu? It's easy for him to say that he has a good family relationship."
This is true. The more this is true, the sixth wife also feels pity for her good friend Mrs. Lei.
If Mr. Lei hadn't been imprisoned, Mrs. Lei might not be worthy of Mr. Liu.
She heard that Master Liu was also very considerate of Lady Lei.
Cao Xi was sitting in the girl's room having tea and fruits at night. Looking at the green bird and the shoe pattern drawn by the feathers, he smiled and said: "The few pairs of fine porcelain items in our wife's dowry are not for getting close to people or using them."
"
"That's exactly what I said. The last time our wives went to the main room to have tea for the first time, the third wife took out a pair of green pine leaf porcelain hats and said that they were from the kilns built in the Song Dynasty. Our wives said that the third wife was afraid that she was in the boudoir.
My favorite thing is to collect kiln-building official porcelain.”
"Sixth Mrs. has a keen eye. Most of the antiques our wife usually buys for her collection are porcelain from the kiln. Did you see the ice-broken sky-blue lamp on which the plum blossoms are placed?"
"I saw it. It looks more transparent than jade, especially that one. I may not have it in my house."
The girls were laughing. Although the girl was tight-lipped, she had just listened to what Cao Xiwan and the sixth wife said in the small sitting room, and she half-spoken and half-disclosed about Dr. Liu. Cao Xiwan listened.
Firstly, she already knew about Mrs. Wang when she came. Secondly, it would be easy for her to trick Mrs. Sixth. She vaguely understood what Mrs. Sixth meant.
Liu Ruhai, this is so attentive and diligent that it is doubtful.
This kid went to see Mr. Lei in the prison early, and then went to Lei's house. He invited all the family members, including his grandmother, wife, two brothers and two sisters, to see a doctor. He even didn't spare the family of his married sister.
When Cao Xiwan heard this, she thought about it again. Liu Ruhai seemed to be staring at the patients in the cemetery. She was suddenly shocked. Aren't the second master and the sixth master also patients?
Although it was like Mr. Hou's trick to ask Liu Ruhai to diagnose the pulse of the two masters, but Liu Ruhai just went along with the situation? This was different. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but find an excuse to get up and change clothes, and left the girl's room alone.
Holding up her skirt and stepping on the scattered jade, she quietly came to the small sitting room.
The sixth wife beside the bean-green curtain was caught red-handed by her. She was startled and blushed.
She squatted and quietly opened the curtain to peek.
The sixth wife suddenly calmed down and quickly took a look. The sixth wife thought to herself that Mrs. Cao made no sound when she walked. Her brother asked her last year to find out if Mrs. Cao was practicing in seclusion. He was a bettor in a small gambling bureau in the Yamen.
, I bet that Mrs. Cao will achieve great success in her magic power within three years at most.
When the female devil Cao Xiwan saw this, she was slightly startled. Liu Ruhai's expression was different from outside.
In the back alley of the group house, he has always been laid-back and elegant, with a three-pointed smile on his lips. He wears a blue shirt and a white scarf. When he has nothing to do, he wears a big blue apron and cleans the yard. Occasionally, he will send her home some noodles with soy sauce.
, I walked around every time I left the clinic. It seemed like the weather was just right, so it was a good time to go out and enjoy flowers, and to just wander around with nothing to do.
At this time, he was completely different. He had long eyebrows and solemnity, a small silver needle in his hand lifted it as lightly as he could, he smiled casually, and just stood in a posture that lacked leisure and added a touch of aristocratic aura.
Be famous.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked at Liu Yu'er, huh? Did he know that Mrs. Six was watching?
