Chapter 253 Inquire
After Wen Xuan went down the steps, the maid was about to enter the house with pastries. When he saw a maid coming over there, he handed her the tray, "I have a stomachache, you can send it in."
The maid smiled and said, "Don't you take the opportunity to let Dr. Ning show you?"
The maid said, "It will cost 100,000 taels to treat the second young master's legs. Can you treat a little maid like me?"
"Be careful, I'll leave."
Inside the house, Ji Qingning was looking at the Tianshan snow lotus in the brocade box, with a faint fragrance that refreshed the heart.
The maid put the tea and pastries on the table and said, "Doctor Ning, please have tea."
Ji Qingning was really thirsty, so she closed the brocade box and went to have tea. The maid stood aside and said, "I, Bier, Doctor Ning has any needs, just give me instructions."
Ji Qingning looked at her and smiled, "Are you Wen Xuan's personal maid?"
Bier's cheeks flushed and said, "Although I am the eldest maid of the Third Master, the Third Master rarely stays in Zhaolanxuan. When I come back, I almost never let the maid enter the house to serve him."
She is so alone in such a big room, so she is really not very used to it.
Ji Qingning asked the little maid to sit down, but the little maid was frightened, "I just stand."
Ji Qingning said, "I have a few questions to ask you."
The little maid hurriedly said, "Doctor Ning, you ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you."
Ji Qingning drank tea and asked, "Your second young master fell off a horse and broke his leg. Why do you third young master feel so guilty?"
This question confused the little maid.
Because there are so many people who know about this, Dr. Ning was invited by the third young master to treat the second young master's legs, but he didn't know?
The maid replied, "Two years ago, the third young master was racing horses with people. Before the competition, he felt that his horse was not energetic enough, so he rode the second young master's horse."
"The second young master also participated in the horse racing temporarily, so he rode the third young master's horse."
"Who thought that the Third Young Master's horse suddenly went crazy during the competition, and the Second Young Master fell off the horse's back and broke his leg."
I see.
It's no wonder that Wenxian feels so guilty.
If you don’t help your brother stand up, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life.
But he didn't mean it. Young Master Wen was not kind enough to be honest with his brothers and brothers.
This doubt was solved, Ji Qingning asked again, "Why do you have two old ladies in Duke Yu's mansion?"
Maid, “….”
Doctor Ning is definitely not from Kyoto.
This is well-known.
From the maid, Ji Qingning had a preliminary understanding of Duke Yu's Mansion.
The two old ladies she met in the house of Er Master Wen today were the fair wives of the old Duke. They were both legitimate wives, and it was hard to call the servants, so they were called the Elderly Lady Peace Old Lady.
The elder wife was the cousin of the old Duke. When the old Duke fought on the battlefield, the grandmother gave her relatives.
Mrs. Ping was much more noble than the elder wife. The old Duke was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield. She was soon promoted to a general and was appreciated by the late emperor. At a banquet, she fell in love with Mrs. Ping at first sight. The late emperor also wanted to see the old Duke get married, so she led the red line for them.
It was only later that the grandmother had already made a marriage for the old Duke. The old Duke originally wanted to withdraw the marriage of the elder lady, but the grandmother disagreed and put pressure on the old Duke on the grounds of the engagement and the matchmaker's orders of his parents to withdraw his marriage.
On one hand, he was promised to his cousin earlier, and on the other hand, he was the lover who had been engaged late.
I won’t mention how uncomfortable it was to get stuck in the middle of the old Duke back then. Later, the Elderly Lady and the Old Lady took a step back and married the Old Duke together.
The old lady, who had no family background, had a draw with Mrs. Ping, who had a much noble background.
The two gave birth to a son, both of whom were legitimate wives, so they were naturally legitimate sons.
But the old Duke has only one title, so he will not be satisfied with anyone else. There is no way. The old Duke can only let the eldest master and the second master fight with their ability, and whoever wins will be won.
Today, Duke Yu is Wen Xuan's father, and it is clear who will win and lose back then.
However, the eldest and second houses of Duke Yu’s mansion had such a fierce battle, and Wen Xuan and Wen Yan had a very good relationship with the eldest son Wen Yan. It was really strange.
I was afraid that Ji Qingning would ask again. Although the questions were well-known, she, a maid, shouldn't have talked about the housework of Duke Yu's mansion to outsiders. She hurriedly said, "I will leave first. Doctor Ning will call me if you have any trouble. I will be outside the door and be there any time I call you."
Ji Qingning nodded lightly, Bier blessed her body, and then stepped down.
When he left the door, Bier handed the tray to the cleaning maid and went to see Lan'er, afraid that her stomach would hurt a lot, but Lan'er was not in the house.
There was no one to be found, Bier asked the maid, and the maid said, "Sister Lan'er has been out for a while."
Isn't it a stomachache? Why are you still out?
Thinking that Lan'er was lazy when she was used to being lazy, she might be lazy.
When Lan'er came back, Bi'er annoyed her, "You actually lied to me and said that my stomach hurts. Where have you been there for so long?"
Lan'er's eyes flashed and said, "Where can I go? I'm going to the embroidery room. Doctor Ning came empty-handed. He stayed in our Duke's Mansion. He always needs to change his clothes, right?"
"I see that he is only as tall as the fourth young master, so I asked the embroidery room to give him two sets of brocade robes."
Bier said, "You go and do this, what are you doing if you have a stomachache?"
Lan'er pulled her arm and said, "I didn't lie to you. I really had a stomachache, but I didn't feel any pain before I got to the cottage. Thinking that you're enough to serve Dr. Ning alone, I'll go and do this."
"By the way, Dr. Ning is it easy to get along with me?"
Bier said, "I don't know if it's easy to get along with, I haven't made things difficult for me anyway."
In the room, the maid was setting up food, and it was too late to have lunch now.
The maid placed six dishes and one soup on the table, and a large bowl of rice, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks. The maid said, "I don't know what Dr. Ning tastes. The food in the kitchen is cooked according to the taste of the third young master. If you like it, you can tell me that I will let the kitchen cook again."
Ji Qingning is not very picky about food. As long as the vegetables are delicious, she is used to eating them.
After purging his hands, Ji Qingning sat down.
Wait for Winhyun?
That is impossible.
Wen Xuan came back from the study and Ji Qingning had already eaten. He sat silently opposite Ji Qingning and had a quiet meal.
Neither of them spoke, and there was nothing to talk about.
Outside the house, Chen Yao was staying in the tree. When he saw the two sitting opposite each other, he felt sorry for him. Unfortunately, Ji Qingning was not a daughter, otherwise he would have been more in line with the Third Young Master. If the Third Young Master married her, he would definitely...
The word "harmony between husband and wife flashed through Chen Yao's heart and was pinched by him, and it was replaced by fear.
Thinking of this, Chen Yao felt that Ji Qingning was better than a man.
