Hearing what Lu Baichuan said, he suddenly woke up. He responded in a low voice, then lowered his head and left.

He Jiuniang asked: "What's going on? Isn't Xu Dashan always honest?"

"I just said the wrong thing on the street. It's not a big deal, but This is not the right thing to do. Give him a warning so that he will not lose a big thing at the expense of a small thing in the future."

In Lu Baichuan's view, trouble comes from the mouth. Although it was a small thing today, we can't really let him stay like this. If you go on, it will end badly if you cause big trouble in the future.

"Well, it really should be like this."

He Jiuniang agreed very much, and glanced out absently, feeling that the speed at Yuyuantang was a bit slow, why is it so It won’t take a long time to come over.

Just as she was thinking about it, Sister-in-law Wang hurriedly came in and reported: "Third Master, madam, the prefect's carriage has come outside, bringing a lot of gifts, saying it is here to deliver a banquet to the third lady. The lottery ticket I forgot to bring back."

He Jiuniang blinked her eyes, didn't the lottery ticket she won at the banquet only have a hosta? Why did you bring a car over? Is the prefect’s wife so generous?

She thought for a while and said: "Ask the person if it is the hosta that gave me the hosta. If it is a hosta, just accept it and return the others. If it is not mine, I don't care about it. "

She had thought that it would be a bad deal if she didn't get the hairpin back, but she didn't expect it to be delivered directly to her door. She was very disappointed.

"Mrs. Qian probably wants to apologize to me when she brings gifts to my door now. It's a pity that I am such a petty person. She added insult to injury at the banquet, and I am not willing to forgive so easily. She."

He Jiuniang looked arrogant. She was originally angry, but Lu Baichuan next to her laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You're so cute."

Lu Baichuan blurted out. This was the first time he heard someone say that he had a small belly. Why are you so cute even when you're angry?

He Jiuniang was suddenly confused by these slightly greasy words and didn’t know what to say. She smiled coquettishly, scratched the skirt on her legs awkwardly, licked her lips and stood up and said: "I Let’s go see what Mrs. Qian has given us.”

Just as he was about to leave, his hand was grabbed by Lu Baichuan.

“Don’t go, Mrs. Wang is already here.”

Lu Baichuan tried his best to hold back his laughter and raised his chin towards Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was almost there. Didn't she notice it?

He Jiuniang naturally found out and just wanted to find an excuse to leave. She didn’t expect that he wouldn’t give her this opportunity.meeting.

Damn it!

She smiled awkwardly again, and then deliberately asked Mrs. Wang: "How is it?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded: "There is indeed a jasper hairpin, but The person who brought the things insisted on keeping the other gifts as well, saying that they were an apology gift from Mrs. Qian to Madam, and hoped that Madam could forgive her for her inappropriate behavior today."

He Jiuniang frowned. He said: "If you don't accept it, go and tell the other party that there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Qian's actions today. It's me who doesn't understand the rules and has made so many ladies unhappy. Even if I have to apologize, it should be me."

These words contained some personal emotions. He Jiuniang also said this deliberately, just to let Mrs. Qian know that she was not so easy to bully.

Not all sorry can be exchanged for being okay.

Today, Lu Baichuan has a higher official position than their husbands. What if it were someone else? Wouldn't he be so humiliated by them that he couldn't even lift his head?

Sister-in-law Wang responded, handed the hairpin to He Jiuniang, and then said: "My maid will go back to her now."

He Jiuniang nodded and sat down, holding the The hairpin looked back and forth.

"I have made you feel wronged today. If there is another occasion like this in the future, you don't have to go if you don't like it."

Lu Baichuan comforted him. He was like this before. I said it, but it seemed to be of no use, so I said it again and again this time.

He Jiuniang said very calmly: "I like it, why don't I like it? I went there today and won a hairpin! Did you see it? It's of very good quality!"

He Jiuniang handed the hairpin in her hand to him and waved it in a show off tone. Lu Baichuan felt mixed and moved.

He knew that his wife didn’t like it, and she insisted on going just to help him balance some forces in the officialdom. Although he felt it was unnecessary, the effect of doing it was different from not doing it.

He smiled, but before he could speak, the little medicine boy He Jiuniang came over.

"Doctor He, the injury of the girl who was sent over has been treated, but the girl has been staying at the hospital, saying that she has no money to treat the injury and wants to help run errands at the hospital. But she doesn’t know how to do anything, so Dr. Song asked me to come and ask what you mean.”

Because the girl was sent there in the name of Lu Baichuan, Dr. Song didn’t know who she was. The origin can only be asked by others.

Hearing what the little medicine boy said, He Jiuniang suddenly looked very interested.

“Is she still blackmailing you?”

The little drug boy was speechless.Nodding, I have never seen such a thick-skinned girl. Doctor Song even said that he didn’t want her to give him any more money, but she just wouldn’t leave.

　"Okay, in this case, you let her come to me, just say that I think she is pitiful and helpless, and keep her by my side as a maid, but you have to remember, don't tell She and I are in Xishuiyuan. If she has the ability, she will come to the door by herself."

He Jiuniang's honest explanation was that everything before was just her and Lu Baichuan's guess, and now she can take advantage of this. Let’s take a chance to test. If the girl is really forced by life, then they really came here unjustly. If they can help then, they will definitely help. But if it is really sent by others, then some of the tricks they thought of before can be used. .

In short, He Jiuniang is still looking forward to her performance.

The little medicine boy was very confused: "If I don't tell her, if she can't find it, will she go back to the hospital again?"

"If she goes back soon, How about you just send her over in person and I will give you some benefits?"

When the little medicine boy heard this, he nodded repeatedly. Of course he is willing to do such a good thing!

After the little medicine boy left, He Jiuniang said: "It's getting late, let's go eat first, and we'll see when the girl finds here."

She casually He gave the hairpin to the little maid beside him and strode out.

Lu Baichuan was also very interested in what the girl was doing and followed He Jiuniang to dinner.

What is surprising is that the girl arrived halfway through the meal.

At this time, it was Xu Dashan's turn to guard the door. When he came in to report, He Jiuniang had just finished one bowl of rice and was about to add a second bowl.

"So fast?"

He Jiuniang blinked, looking very disbelieving.

Xu Dashan lowered his head and replied: "Madam, it is indeed that girl. I asked her how she found this place. She said she had seen the Lu family mark on our carriage on the street. I asked people and found them all the way."

He Jiuniang: ...I was careless.

Since Lu Baichuan had an official status, a lantern would be hung on the side of the carriage he was riding in, with the word "Lu" written on it, to make it easier for people to recognize him.

He Jiuniang has never cared much about that stuff, and she didn’t expect that she would suffer a loss because of it today.

However, even if she knew Lu Baichuan’s surname was Lu, she couldn’t find Xi Shuiyuan so quickly, could she? Otherwise, those ladies wouldn’t be stepping on thunder all the time today.
