Wu Meiniang changed her clothes and went to her father's bedside. She told her mother and Aunt Feng that she knew two friends, one of whom was a doctor and wanted to see her father's condition.
Looking back at the samurai Wok who was already asleep on the bed due to lack of energy, Mrs. Wu Yang looked at the middle-aged woman who had just had her pulse checked with a troubled face.
"Aunt Feng, it's Meiniang who is so reckless." Wu Meiniang saw her mother looking at the middle-aged woman, bowed apologetically, and said.
Aunt Feng smiled lightly, stretched out her hand to help Wu Meiniang up, and said, "Second young lady, you don't have to be polite. Madam, please come and have a look. We can learn from everyone's strengths, and maybe it will be of some benefit to Mr. Wu's condition. Don't worry about me."
.”
"Good sister, if it hadn't been for you, my master's health would have been long gone. Alas, those two who were stabbed a thousand times, how could they be... ugh!" Mrs. Wu held Aunt Feng's hand and said in disgust.
"Mom, you're not afraid of Aunt Feng's jokes. You're also a crybaby like Third Sister." Wu Meiniang stretched out her index finger, scratched her cheek, and said to Mrs. Wu in a funny way.
"You stinky girl! Even my mother dared to arrange it." Mrs. Wu glared at Wu Meiniang with a pleased smile and said dissatisfiedly.
"It's not all that Madam herself dotes on on weekdays." Aunt Feng looked at Madam Wu and her daughter with some envy, and said with a smile.
"Okay, stop making trouble, tell me, what are the names of your two friends? How old are they? Do they have any apprentices?" Mrs. Wu said seriously and asked Wu Meiniang.
"Looking at their appearance, they should be about the same age as the eldest sister. One is named Li Qian and the other is Fang Yiai, with four following them. Moreover, Fang Yiai and sister Ling'er are acquaintances. Sister Ling'er also said about his medical skills.
That's right. And because the two of them had such a request, my daughter took them into the house." Wu Meiniang said.
When Wu Meiniang heard that one of them was called Fang Yiai, Aunt Feng's body tensed up for no reason, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She didn't know what she thought of, and her eyes dimmed again, and she held her hands tightly in front of her.
"Ling'er's friend?" Mrs. Wu looked at Wu Meiniang for confirmation. After seeing Wu Meiniang nodding, she asked Aunt Feng. "Sister, have you heard that child from Ling'er mentioned this Fang Yiai?"
"Ling'er knows Fang Yiai? I've never heard Ling'er mention it." Aunt Feng said with a normal expression, "Meiniang, do you know who Mr. Fang's medical skills are inherited from?"
"Oh, Mr. Fang said that he learned his medical skills from his adoptive mother. But his adoptive mother seems to have been missing for several years." Wu Meiniang thought about it and said.
"Adoptive mother?" Aunt Feng said with confusion on her face. Her heart was already pounding away, and her breathing was slightly short of breath. But she could still hide it.
"Well, I heard Mr. Li say that Mr. Fang has been asking people to find the whereabouts of his adoptive mother these years." Wu Meiniang said.
"Been looking for?!" she muttered absentmindedly. Aunt Feng's heart was filled with mixed emotions and her eyes were sour.
With her thoughts churning under pressure, Aunt Feng looked at Mrs. Wu with a normal expression and said, "Since she is Ling'er's friend, I think there is nothing wrong with her. Let's take a look and maybe it will really help."
"In the end, it's up to you, sister, to help my sister." Mrs. Wu said, holding Aunt Feng's hand.
"By the way, what about Ling'er? Didn't she come back with you?" Mrs. Chao Wu nodded comfortingly. Aunt Feng asked Xiang Wu Meiniang.
"Oh, Sister Ling'er said that she has some things to do at the last minute. I have to worry about Aunt Feng staying at the house these days." Wu Meiniang's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Mrs. Wu with concern, and then said.
"This child, well, he has no choice but to grow up. But I'm afraid he will be in trouble with the family again in the past few days." Aunt Feng said, feeling faintly worried for Jin Ling'er.
"Looking at what my sister said, I wish you and Ling'er could always stay with me and Sister Mei Niang in the house." Mrs. Wu said angrily.
"I won't say thank you anymore. Madam and the second lady should entertain the guests well. It's time for me to go back and take my lunch medicine." Aunt Feng said.
"My sister doesn't want to meet Ling'er's friend? Maybe that kid is interested in Ling'er." Mrs. Wu took Aunt Feng's hand and persuaded her.
"Anyway, I'm here in Lizhou, so there's no reason not to stay for two more days. It's better to wait for Ling'er to come back, and it's not too late to meet again after asking about the situation." Aunt Feng said a little absent-mindedly.
"It's okay, it's my sister who was reckless." Patting Aunt Feng's hand, Mrs. Wu stood up and said to the people outside the house, "Come here, please send Mrs. Feng back to Jingyuan safely. Take good care of her and don't neglect her."
"Yes, madam!" Two strong women came in and responded respectfully.
Aunt Feng was carried by the two strong women on the shoulder cart at the door of the house, and was carried away by two servants.
Instruct the maids in the house to take good care of the master.
Mrs. Wu sent someone to order the kitchen to prepare food, and she took Wu Meiniang to the front, wanting to see the two young visitors.
When the mother and daughter came to lead people to the front, they saw someone throwing Wu Yuanshuang out of the living room. The mother and daughter were immediately shocked, and they were very angry. They knew it must be Wu Yuanshuang, but they didn't know.
Why did he offend someone? This talented person was in his own home and threw him out of his living room.
"Ouch!" Wu Yuanshuang fell to the ground and did not get up. He just looked at Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian in the room. At the same time, he looked warily at Fang Qi who threw him out, and howled wildly, "You guys still
Is there any royal law! He actually broke into the official residence without permission and even injured the second young master of my dignified martial arts family!"
"Are you dead?! Ah! Didn't you see that the young master was beaten at home? They are all dead, so why don't you go up and beat me! Separate a person and go to the front to call the official, saying that someone has entered the military without permission.
Mansion! There is no law for the king! Go quickly!"
The few servants of the Wu family who could have been evacuated long ago were all evacuated, leaving only two people who could not evacuate, standing there with their heads lowered as pillars.
"Oh? Haha, did I hear you right? You said you are the second young master of the Wu family?" Fang Yiai flicked his sleeves, stepped out of the living room, squatted next to Wu Yuanshuang, and asked with a half-smile.
"I guess he is lying. I heard that the Wu family also knows etiquette. If he is really the young master of the Wu family, how can he not know filial piety?" Li Chengqian said, standing in the hall, looking at Wu Yuanshuang lying on the ground indifferently,
"When a loved one is ill in bed, he should put on plain clothes, eat light food, and pray for his loved ones. How could he have such an ocher-red upper body? Could it be that the illness of his loved one is a happy and congratulatory thing for him?"
"It shows that this person is a fake. A young lady from the Wu family can be so filial and know etiquette. How can a brother who is older than her be so unfilial?" Li Chengqian said.
"Yeah, that's right." Fang Yiai said in agreement, then turned to Wu Yuanshuang, who looked ugly, and said, "Are you the second young master of the Wu family?"
"I, I, I..." I didn't say anything for a long time. Wu Yuanshuang's face had changed a lot of colors.
Admitting that you are is also admitting that you are unfilial and rude!
If you say that you are not, if you enter your own home, you will be accused by these two hateful boys of trespassing in an official residence! You may not know what will happen then.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Yuanshuang wiped his hands with cold sweat, snorted coldly, got up from the ground, said, "Wait for me!", turned around and ran away in despair.
Although Wu Yuanshuang looked funny, Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian couldn't laugh, and they felt inexplicably depressed. It seemed that the Wu family was not very peaceful either!
Although Fang Yiai knew that Wu Meiniang had two useless brothers, she didn't expect one of them to be so useless!
Seeing Wu Yuanshuang running towards the outside of the house, Mrs. Wu sighed, with a trace of sadness in her eyes that could not go away.
"Mom, when dad recovers from his illness, you can teach him slowly." Wu Meiniang said with relief, "And the second brother is not young anymore. Maybe when the time comes, let dad arrange a good marriage for him, and the second brother will
The prodigal son can turn back and grow up."
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go see the guests first." Mrs. Wu patted Wu Meiniang's hand and said lightly.
Wu Meiniang sighed inwardly and followed her mother through the verandah to the living room.
Seeing Wu Meiniang supporting a middle-aged lady who still had charm, she knew that this person should be the false title of Mrs. Yang of the Warrior Wok.
Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian quickly stood up to greet him, saying that Li Chengqian did not want to reveal his identity as the crown prince for the time being.
"This is my mother." Wu Meiniang pointed at Mrs. Wu and introduced Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian.
"I've met Mrs. Wu." Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian stepped forward and saluted.
"Mom, this is Mr. Li Qian and Mr. Li, and this is Mr. Ling'er's friend, Mr. Fang Yiai, Mr. Fang." Wu Meiniang introduced Mrs. Wu one by one.
After listening to Wu Meiniang's detailed introduction, Mrs. Wu looked at Fang Yiai a few more times, as if inspecting and criticizing.
Mrs. Wu's eyes made Fang Yiai a little uncomfortable. However, she was the elder now, and it was difficult for Fang Yiai to speak unless the elder spoke first.
Fang Yi couldn't help but complain, why did nothing good happen to him when he met Jin Ling'er?
Think about it, after the first encounter in Zhuangzi, he was attacked and killed the next day. The second time he rescued her in Liangzhou, he was chased for thousands of miles. This is the third time, I don’t know.
What else will happen?
Glancing at Mrs. Wu's expression, Fang Yiai wondered why she felt something was wrong.
After everyone was seated, Mrs. Wu asked and chatted for a few words. A servant reported that the meal was ready.
Because the samurai Wok was ill, one of the two useless sons had just run away and the other was at home. Therefore, Mrs. Wu could only come to greet him.
Wu Meiniang returned to the back hall to avoid suspicion.
Li Chengqian was satisfied with the meal. However, Fang Yiai couldn't stand Mrs. Wu's constant scrutiny and her frequent remarks that Ling'er was a good girl.
Fortunately, there were only a few people there, and they all had things on their minds. They didn't drink, so they ate quickly.
After the meal, I asked the servants and said that the master's warrior had woken up and that the second lady had just served the master with his meal.
Mrs. Wu then called Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian to see the warrior wok.
