Chapter 603 The Doctor (1)
Mrs. Ling is indeed a very shrewd old fox, and she has a good plan, but it's a pity that her shrewdness is used in the wrong place, and all the children and grandchildren she raised are not good things!
Lu Mingxuan looked at the old lady Ling with a smile, and said: "My father and mother are juniors, so it is logical that they should come to see the old lady, how can I let the old lady go to see them in person? As for the old man and the old lady, it's up to you." When I get old, I don’t see any outsiders, especially the old lady. Since the year before last, even the four seasons and eight festivals in the palace have stopped going in to worship, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to spare time to see the old lady. Please forgive me .”

While talking, he felt that Ling Mengqi's decision to send Mrs. Ling and others to Zhuangzi could not be more correct. Otherwise, with Mrs. Ling's face, she might drag Ling Mengqi and her tiger skin in the future , What a big banner to make!
She said that she was an elder and that her parents should come to see her, but she didn't say when; Lao Dingguo and Mrs. Lu were more direct, saying that since they got old, they didn't see outsiders, and even They didn't go to the palace for pilgrimage. The implication is that even the most distinguished people in the world, Duke Ding and Mrs. Lu, are gone, let alone foreigners like them?

Why couldn't Mrs. Ling hear Lu Mingxuan's perfunctory refusal, and couldn't help feeling bitter. When did she get so reduced that she had to look at her granddaughter-in-law's face even if she wanted to socialize?

In addition to suffering, she was also a little annoyed. She offered to visit her in-laws and Mrs. Lu just to make a face for her, Mrs. Lu. I don't know how to flatter, that is to say, she is young and beautiful now, and Brother Qi dotes on her, so she dares to be so arrogant. After a few years, when she is old and fading, she will find a stunning beauty for Brother Qi Come on, let's see if she is still going crazy by then!
It's just that she wanted to return to this thought in her heart, but the old lady Ling didn't show it at all on the face, she still smiled and said: "Although the master and wife are juniors, but as the saying goes, 'marry a daughter with your head up, and marry a wife with a bow', the master and wife My wife promised you such a good daughter to our family, no matter how low my attitude is, that is what I should do; The old madam is no different from their granddaughters. When your grandfather was still alive, you were close friends with the old man, and even me and the old madam are very close... But now I am suffering from illness, It's also really inappropriate to visit your relatives, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, lest you get sick and give them ill, it's because I was too stupid to think about it for a while, so don't be as knowledgeable as your grandmother."

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan hurriedly said with a smile: "How dare I argue with the old lady, the old lady is serious." Then there was nothing else to say.

I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, this old lady is really flexible and scheming, no wonder Concubine Luo couldn't bear it back then, her husband is a scum, and her mother-in-law is so powerful, if she stays, I'm afraid she will soon It's not in this world anymore and I don't know.

Seeing that I said a lot of things, but only got an innocuous word like Lu Mingxuan, and still refused to call myself 'grandmother', and my grandson was the same as her, so far only willing to call himself 'old lady', Ling Lao The wife couldn't help feeling bitter again.

But he could only bear it back, and continued to deal with Lu Mingxuan with a smile as the next best thing: "This matter is fine, but you have seen your second brother and your cousin Wen, they are not young, but So far I haven't even had an errand, so it's nothing more than a year or so, I can't let Brother Qi and you support them for nothing, right?"

Looking at Lu Mingxuan's face, seeing her frowning slightly, I wanted to stop there, but I couldn't hold back and continued: "Isn't there a saying that's better to teach him to fish than to teach him to fish? , so I thought, I wonder if Brother Qi can try to find a job for them. It is impossible to be an official, but it should not be difficult for those low-level officials. Both of them have studied since childhood and are knowledgeable Not to mention how knowledgeable they are, but being a small official is more than enough. If they do a good job, brother Yu Qi can help a little bit, right? I wanted to talk to Brother Qi in person, but he is busy with work, so I rarely see him, so I can only make you, the elder sister-in-law, worry more."

Lu Mingxuan had to endure it so hard that she could not sneer. Where did Old Madam Ling have such confidence? Ling Mengqi and her would take care of Ling Zhongyou and Ou Chengwen's mess?It's true that I haven't even got the ruler yet, and I'm already thinking about it. Sure enough, their husband and wife are still too good-natured!

No, it should be said that she was too nice, otherwise, why didn't Mrs. Ling say this to Ling Mengqi, but to her?Didn't she just want to give Ling Mengqi a message for her? She didn't!

Thoughts flashed by, Lu Mingxuan said with embarrassment on her face: "I dare not tell my husband about this, I will tell you the old lady, these days my husband has often told me that when I was young, the second young master and the young master Biao teamed up to bully me. I listened to my husband's tone about his matter, and I still have it in my heart. The old lady also knows that I have only been married to my husband for a few months, and I haven't even got a firm foothold yet. How dare I say this to my husband? The old lady is Elder, it's better for you to talk to your husband in person, if you think about it, even if you get angry, your husband will not dare to do anything to you, but if it were me, I would not be sure..."

You don't have a firm foothold, dare to be so arrogant and arrogant, you don't have a firm foothold, dare to contradict your mother-in-law and in-laws, indulge your servants to abuse your husband, elder brother, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, you don't have a firm foothold, dare not serve Wenggu, even in the morning and evening Save such the most basic face-saving work?

The old lady Ling was almost so angry that she couldn't hold back her anger, let alone Lu Mingxuan would say so bluntly the fact that Ling Mengqi didn't want to see Ling Zhongyou and Ou Chengwen. A sentence was squeezed out: "Since that's the case, I will talk to Brother Qi in person when he is free tomorrow."

Lu Mingxuan immediately expressed relief: "The old lady really loves me when she says that."

It just so happened that Mama Wu came in with the medicine that had just been boiled and asked Mrs. Ling to drink it, so Lu Mingxuan took the opportunity to say goodbye: "...There are still a lot of trivial matters waiting for me to deal with, so I won't bother the old lady to rest, wait until tomorrow When the old lady is in good spirits, I will come to greet the old lady again." After finishing speaking, without waiting for the old lady Ling to speak, she bowed her knees and saluted, then turned around and went away gracefully.

The rest of the old lady Ling held back her anger, and she couldn't express it in front of Mama Wu. She endured it until she almost vomited blood again, and then Madam Wu left, and she immediately complained bitterly to Sister Chunhua Get up: "That Mrs. Lu dared to be so arrogant because she is young and beautiful now, and her mother's family is considered capable, but our family has fallen. When she is old and the heart of Brother Qi is no longer on her, I will see her How can you get crazy!"
