After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 166 Chapter 166
Everyone couldn't help looking at the old lady who had just spoken.

"Old sister, you..." Mrs. Song was a little curious about her old sister's behavior.

"Hehe." The old lady looked at Qi Niang with a smile, "You are Qi Niang, right? I have admired your name for a long time, today I can be regarded as seeing a real person."

"You are?" Qi Qi heard her say this, and knew that the other party might have heard of her, but she really couldn't remember how she knew this kind of old lady.

The old lady waved at her, her kind and kind appearance made people want to get close to her.

"Hey, since Auntie wants to have a good chat with you mother and daughter, let's sit there, everyone..." Mrs. Song looked around.

In ancient times, rank was still very important. The people present were all wives of various families, and they basically had their orders. Naturally, they had to be particular about where they sat, and they could not sit casually by leapfrogging their ranks.

And here, the one with the highest status is Mrs. Qian. Her husband, Lord Qian, is a first-rank official, and she is Mrs. First-rank Country.

Even Mrs. Song's imperial order is not as high as hers.

The old lady Song conferred the imperial order of the second rank only because of her son's blessing.

Who would not give face to Mrs. Guo, be crazy.

"Hurry up, it's rare for Mrs. Guo to meet an acquaintance here. Naturally, we should have a good chat. However, we are also very curious, and want to hear what is the relationship between you two?"

"That's right, how does Mrs. Guo know this...uh, madam?"

Qi Qi was dressed as a woman, but she didn't introduce herself, so she didn't know how to address her for a while, so she used Madam instead.

"She doesn't know Laoshen, but Laoshen has heard of her name for a long time. Regardless of her young age, her medical skills are superb. When Jiangzhou was flooded last year, she hung a pot to help the world, donated money and effort, and treated countless people with free medicine. Suffering the common people, but at the same time offering advice to prevent the plague, the effect is amazing. It can be said that it is benevolent and benevolent, and it is deeply loved by the common people."

"Old madam, you are too good." Qi Qi really didn't expect this matter to be brought up again, and it was on such an occasion, she felt awkward and embarrassed.

When the ladies present heard about this, their complexions were different.Some people were skeptical, after all, Qi Qi looked too young, some people were slightly contemptuous, thinking that she had no identity, but a young doctor.

However, there are also people who really admire her, especially those who have unspeakable illnesses and are already thinking about asking her to come and have a look sometime...

At this time, a servant woman had already brought a small chair and a round pole, and placed them on both sides of Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Song took old lady Qi's hand and came to the small chair, asking her to sit down.

Mrs. Qi was really flattered, and hurriedly pulled Qi Qi to salute the old lady, "Ms. Qi, a civilian woman, has seen Mrs. Guo."

Mrs. Guo, her daughter has only passed the level of Madam's order with her, and today she met the legendary Mrs. Guo with the highest order.

"Qi Niang pays her respects to Mrs. Guo." Qi Qiduan saluted solemnly.

"Oh, excuse me, excuse me, please get up." The old lady got up and supported Mrs. Qi, pulling her to prevent her from kneeling down, "It's not a festival, what are you doing, get up, champion Lang, quickly help your mother. Qi Niang, get up quickly."

Qi Moxuan kept smiling, but actually he was not feeling well.

It was because he didn't think carefully, and he regretted that he shouldn't have brought his mother and sister here.

He himself is an official, so he doesn't need to bow to the imperial wives, he just needs to bow his hands.

But the mother and younger sister are just civilians, if you really count, it stands to reason that they should salute to all the wives who have orders.

Now that he is a sixth-rank official, it is reasonable to ask Mrs. Qi to order her to be a sixth-rank official, but he has just been appointed as an official, and he has been busy before, so he didn't think about it.

Moreover, this imperial order will come down soon unless the Holy Majesty grants a gift.At other times, if general officials want to apply for seals, they need to gather together at the end of the year to apply for seals and submit them to the Holy Majesty. After the Holy Majesty approves, they will be granted in batches as New Year benefits.

Seeing his mother and sister humbly bowing to others, his heart ached.He only blamed himself for his incompetence, which further inspired his determination to climb up.

Madam Guo's move shocked everyone again.

Qi Moxuan was also very grateful to her.As I said just now, those kneeling and worshiping are justified. Sometimes, rules are dead, people are alive, and affection can be above everything else.

Just like just now, a room full of people, Mrs. Qi and Qi Qi came here to pay respects to Mrs. Song's birthday. As juniors, their status was low, so they kowtowed.

They don't know the other ladies next to them, and the purpose of this trip is not theirs, so naturally there is no need to kowtow one by one.

There is no clear stipulation in Da Pei's laws that ordinary people must pay big respects to Mrs. Gao Ming.

People kneel down to pay respects to officials, unless they must kneel in the courtroom, they can kneel or not when they meet at ordinary times, and there is no mandatory requirement.

It's just that many people are ignorant, thinking that officials are superior and need to bow down, and some rules are implemented as agreed upon.

Qi Moxuan stepped forward to help Mrs. Qi sit down, and then he thanked Mrs. Guo, "Thank you Mrs. Guo."

"You don't need to be polite, you can go, I'm here, and I won't let their mother and daughter be wronged." The old lady promised with a kind face and a smile.

There are all women here, so he, a big man, naturally can't stay longer. Originally, he was going to the front yard to celebrate the old lady Song's birthday.

"Thank you." Qi Moxuan saluted Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Song respectively, and turned to leave.

Qi Qi sat down on the round pole, and looked at the old lady curiously.

She was also grateful to the old lady in front of her, she had given old lady Qi enough face.It stands to reason that they should kowtow to Mrs. Song.

However, this time they came here for the sake of the two families, and Mrs. Qi is also the elder with the highest seniority in the Qi family.If the Song family had a heart for this marriage, for the sake of love, they shouldn't have made Mrs. Qi really kneel just now.

Although the old lady Song immediately asked Mrs. Song to help her personally, it was enough to give the Qi family face, after all Mrs. Song is also a second-rank imperial order.

However, Mrs. Youguo just gave her a hand, and Mrs. Song's reaction just now seemed a little unreasonable. Mrs. Qi has really finished knocking her head.

Mrs. Song is also regretting it at this time. She was indeed a step slower just now, and it was also because she was too surprised by the Qi family's rules, and she was distracted for a while. When she reacted, it was too late for the eldest daughter-in-law to help.

"Old madam, where did you know about me?" Qi Qi sorted through the family information that Li Suhong had given her for popular science, and made some guesses, but also couldn't make up the numbers, so she couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she simply asked directly.
