Chapter 197: Outside the City Lord's Mansion
Xue Lian got out of the carriage outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and walked up the steps with her two personal rings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhou Tianqi and others also got off the horse and stood quietly outside the door waiting.
A middle-aged man walked out of the door, wearing a small square hat, two mustaches, a long shirt in green clothes, and holding a feather fan.
Xue Lian smiled slightly, bowed to the middle-aged man, and said respectfully, "Mr. Song, the student has given you a salute." ”
Mr. Song smiled and nodded, and bowed back: "Miss Xue doesn't need to be polite, and she doesn't need to call herself a student, Song has no talent and has not taught Miss Xue anything." ”
Xue Lian's face was a little unbearable, but she didn't mind, and changed the subject: "Mr. Song, I met these people at the city gate, I heard that they know some medical skills, and they admire Grandpa Qi very much, so I brought them, maybe I can happen to cure Grandpa Qi's illness." ”
Mr. Song didn't look at who Xue Lian brought, and said with a sneer: "Our old general's illness has been helpless after inviting so many doctors, how can it be cured with just some medical skills." Miss Xue was also in a hurry, and she was very moved by her filial piety, but she couldn't rush to the doctor. ”
Xue Lian's face turned red, her willow eyebrows frowned, she bit her lower lip lightly, and wrung a handkerchief in her hand, and she didn't know what to say for a while. I only hate myself for my bad luck, why did I meet Song Man who has never been waiting to see me?
Without waiting for Xue Lian to say anything more, Song Man smiled faintly and asked, "I heard that Miss Xue went out of the city to find our young city lord, I wonder if you have heard any news?"
Xue Lian sighed lightly, shook her head in frustration and said, "No, I have searched in several nearby counties, but I have not found any clues." I thought that the news of Grandpa Qi's illness in the past few days should have reached his ears, and he might come back by himself. Listening to Mr. Song's tone, hasn't he come back yet?"
Song Man also shook his head and sighed: "Yes, our old general is **** looking forward to the young city lord coming back, the young city lord is the old general's favorite grandson, and it is the heart of our old general, if the young city lord doesn't come back, ...... it."
Xue Lian said worriedly, "Has Grandpa Qi's illness worsened again?"
Song Man hurriedly stopped: "Miss Xue, you just returned to the city, let's go back and rest first, the old general has just fallen asleep, you go in now, and you can't see anyone, let's go next time." ”
Xue Lian heard that Qi Moqian hadn't come back yet, and she was not very willing to meet the stubborn old man Qi, since Song Man said that it was inconvenient at this time, it was just what she wanted, so she nodded hurriedly and said helplessly: "Since I came at the wrong time, then next time." I, who have been in the dust, should go back and freshen up. ”
Song Man nodded, and with a smile on his face, he sent Xue Lian back to the carriage before turning around and returning to the door, completely ignoring Zhou Tianqi and the others who had been waiting for a long time.
Xue Lian sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, smiled at Jin Haoran and the others, and said, "Jin Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi, and Changfeng Gongzi, they all blame me for being too anxious, so I will bring you here directly." Since it is inconvenient for Grandpa Qi to meet guests today, you will go to Xue Mansion with me to rest for a day, and I will come to visit Grandpa Qi tomorrow, and then arrange for you to go into the City Lord's Mansion to treat Grandpa Qi after I have agreed with Grandpa Qi, how about it?"
Jin Haoran smiled and shook his head: "Thank you Miss Xue for the invitation, I am used to walking the rivers and lakes, and I am used to freedom, so I still prefer to settle down in the inn." disappointed Miss Xue's kindness, please Miss Xue don't be surprised. ”
Xue Lian wanted to persuade again, but she was afraid of taking a few strange men back, if it attracted gossip, Qi Moqian would definitely find an excuse to refuse the marriage. So, he smiled and nodded: "Since that's the case, then I won't be strong." Mr. Jin, we will have a date later. With that, he lowered the curtain and told the coachman to drive away slowly.
After Xue Lian left, Lin Wan and Qingtong also stepped up the steps, Lin Wan smiled at the guards at the door, and said politely: "Please help spread the word eldest brother, we are from the Medicine King Valley." As he spoke, he took out a bamboo plaque from his sleeve and handed it to the head of the guard.
The guard took the bamboo plaque and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything special, just a very ordinary, but it seemed to be a bamboo board that was some years old. Seeing that Zhou Tianqi and the others were extraordinary, the guards did not dare to slack off, and arched their hands and said, "Please wait a moment, and then go and ask Steward Song." ”
The guards turned around and ran towards the house, and after a while, they called back Song Man, who had just left.
Song Man handed the wooden card back to Lin Wan, looked at her carefully, and asked suspiciously, "Girl, are you really from the Medicine King Valley?"
Lin Wan curtsied and said respectfully: "Amu, the folk girl, I have seen Mr. Song." Our son is indeed from the Valley of the Medicine King. Our son-in-law admired General Qi very much, and when he heard that the city lord's mansion Zhang Bang was looking for a doctor, he took the liberty to come and give it a try, and asked Mr. Song not to blame. ”
Song Man turned his head to look at the three young men with outstanding demeanor and extraordinary bearing outside the gate, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, not to mention how good these people's medical skills were, just this cold and arrogant temperament was already impressive. It's just that how could she be with Miss Xue? Could it be that she was looking for her to curry favor with our old general?
Seeing that Song Man was silent, Lin Wan seemed to be unable to make up his mind, smiled faintly, and said, "Mr. Song will not treat us as charlatans, right?" After a pause, without waiting for Song Man to answer, he said: "We and Miss Xue only met at the gate of the city this morning, Mr. Song should not think that our son is something she can invite." ”
Song Man was even more shocked in his heart, this girl has a low status, her appearance is not good, but she thinks quickly, speaks to the point, is smart and bold, but speaks gently and politely, and will not make people disgusted. Song Man nodded and asked cautiously, "Dare to ask Miss Amu, which one is your son-in-law, and how should you call them?"
Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "The one in black is my son-in-law, and my son-in-law's surname is Zhou." The other two sons are friends of my son-in-law, the older one is Chang Gongzi, and the other is Jin Gongzi. ”
Song Man nodded, walked towards Zhou Tianqi and the others, and Lin Wan and Qingtong also walked back together, standing behind Zhou Tianqi in an orderly manner.
Three steps away from Zhou Tianqi and the others, Song Man stopped, waved his hand, and said: "In Xia Song Man, he is the outer court manager of the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord has not returned to the Mansion yet, please Zhou Gongzi, Chang Gongzi, and Jin Gongzi will follow him into the Mansion to rest first, and then take you to see our old general after the City Lord returns to the Mansion, how about it?"
Zhou Tianqi nodded lightly and said, "Please Mr. Song lead the way." ”
"Yes, Childe, please!" Song Man responded, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, leading everyone to the house. (To be continued.) )
