Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 153 I Can't Resist It
"Mother, what are you talking about?!" Hua Hongxiao stared at Mrs. Bai with wide eyes.

The distinction between scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce is so clear that it would be difficult for a merchant to ascend to the ranks of the nobles.She didn't want to believe what she had just heard.

Mrs. Bai's eyes flickered and said: "I don't know if I don't check. The Liu family of Xianyang's gentry once asked to marry this Kong Linglong, and she was not an ordinary concubine. She married him as a regular wife. But Kong Linglong took advantage of her Half a year after my grandfather passed away, she suddenly blatantly turned against the Liu family, and even did something that everyone in Xianyang despises, and then she really gave up her marriage contract with the Liu family, and she continues to carry on as the daughter of the Kong family until today."

If it wasn't for Hua Hongxiao's belief in her mother, Mrs. Bai, she would think every word she heard was a fantasy.A merchant girl who refuses to become a nobleman?The only people who would do that would be a mindless idiot.

No matter what the reason is, she refuses, because as long as she refuses, it will prove that she is stupid and there is no cure.

There was something that Hua Hongxiao was very concerned about in these words, she asked: "Mother, what did Kong Linglong do that made everyone in Xianyang despise?"

Mrs. Bai glanced at her quietly, but for some reason she didn't answer this question, but instead said: "Do you know the current situation and identity of the young master of the Liu family who is asking Kong Linglong to marry him?"

Although Hua Hongxiao has already learned that the Liu family is a gentry, the gentry is also divided into several classes. A student from a poor family can join the gentry as long as he ranks in the imperial examination.

Even if Kong Linglong had been asked to marry by a noble family, it would not be a respectable and profound family.The corners of her mouth curled up in disdain.

Hua Hongxiao's guess was not wrong, and Mrs. Bai's statement also confirmed this guess.She said: "The Liu family is a noble family with a poor background. They have been running the family business for decades, and their ancestors are all small officials below the sixth rank. Only this time, the old lady of the Liu family is a second-rank official, but he does not have any huge influence. "

Being an official in the court is not about how high you are, but your relatives and families, how many people are powerful in the court, if you are alone, even if you are a first-rank official, no family will really be afraid of you.

But even so, there was still jealousy in Hua Hongxiao's eyes: "Is this Liu family willing to degenerate, marrying a daughter from a merchant family as their main wife?"

Such a woman, marrying back and being a concubine is not what the gentry should do.

Mrs. Bai said leisurely: "But the eldest son of the Liu family is already a hero in ordinary eyes, and he is even more romantic in Xianyang. Moreover, he has stayed in the Imperial Capital for a long time in the past few years. Take it with you personally, it can be regarded as a bright career in the future."

The lintel of the Liu family will be preserved, and the descendants of the future generations can be regarded as upright.To have such development is already a fortune.

Hua Hongxiao hesitated a little, and stared at her mother, Mrs. Bai: "Mother said that, Mr. Liu... Then Kong Linglong did such a thing, the Liu family already hated her so much, right?"

Although all kinds of things about Mr. Liu are just that in Hua Hongxiao's eyes, but for a woman of Kong Linglong's background, Mr. Liu is just like Yunxia.

But she actually rejected this cloud-like man, how stupid this woman is.

Hua Hongxiao said coldly: "Could it be that in the eyes of Kong Linglong, the gold and jewels of the Kong family are more beautiful than everything in the world?"

She seems to have decided that if Kong Linglong can do things like selling medicine and brothels for money, then this woman is so shallow and vulgar, she loves money so much that her status as a nobleman is forgotten by her.

Madam Bai's tone was deep, and her eyes were sharper: "Your third brother Yun Chen is just 13 years old, and he is studying with young masters of various schools recently. Through these relationships, he can easily get in touch with Young Master Liu."

At that time, if you make a few more provocative words, or accidentally slip a few words, Liu Shao will know Kong Linglong's whereabouts immediately.

In fact, if this story spreads in the capital, Kong Linglong might become even more "famous" than she is now.Let's take a look at the place where the rich and powerful gather in the capital. Their noble gentry were once slapped in the face by a lowly merchant woman. Even the Liu family has calmed down in Xianyang, but they will lose face again in the capital. Do you know if you can bear it?
----

What Kong Linglong did in Xianyang that made people "disgusted" was the identity of a "husband who stepped in the door" who had been misunderstood all night long.

The most unbearable rumor at the time was that Suye was "golden house husband" by Kong Linglong and spent money to raise her in the back house.However, the four major families, including the Situ family at that time, were also involved in the matter, so it is naturally impossible for Mrs. Bai to find out all these matters.

These past events, Su Ye's identity, through deliberate guidance and evolution, have become "a certain mysterious man".And many people don't know why.

So Mrs. Bai couldn't explain Su Ye's identity, and it was impossible for her to tell her daughter who hadn't left the court on her own initiative about this affair.

After a turmoil, Baishanzhuang really "became famous". Although it may not be famous all over the capital, its popularity is definitely increasing day by day, more than the popularity accumulated in the ten years since it opened.

Even out of curiosity, some people came to seek medical treatment. What Kong Linglong did was to end her sitting in Baishan Village and invite Dr. Xu back instead.

At this time, Kong Linglong faced Dr. Xu calmly: "Master Xu just needs to use your medical skills to diagnose and treat the people who come here as before, and there is no need to make things difficult."

Doctor Xu said bitterly, how could it be the same as before, he didn't even think that he was still qualified for the post of doctor in charge of Baishanzhuang.

"Young Master." He finally plucked up the courage and arched his hands, "Why do you want Xiao to take over Baishanzhuang at this critical moment."

He thought that Kong Linglong would at least continue to take over by herself, using her unique method of fame.

Kong Linglong looked at Dr. Xu with a hint of thought, and said, "Dr. Xu, your medical skills are suitable for sitting in a medical hall to diagnose and treat people."

She doesn't specialize in medical skills, and when she encounters miscellaneous diseases, it is impossible for Dr. Xu, a veteran of Xinglin, to be more experienced.

Dr. Xu gave a wry smile: "Young Master thinks highly of me, and besides, my old medical skills... are not as good as Young Master thinks."

Bitterness flashed across his face, but it was not pretending, but rather out of place.

Kong Linglong kept looking thoughtfully at Dr. Xu's face, and at this moment she had no choice but to speak out: "Doctor Xu and sister-in-law Xiuniang have no children, have you been troubled by this for so many years?"

It could be seen that Dr. Xu was suddenly startled, and his face changed from a faint bitterness to a dull one.

Kong Linglong looked at him. Doctor Xu's childlessness had attracted attention earlier.At that time, it seemed that she didn't take it seriously, Yu'er also mentioned it, and then forgot.But in fact, Dr. Xu didn't know, Kong Linglong had already noticed something strange.

Dr. Xu didn't know what the young master wanted to do, but just mentioning this matter was inevitably a pain in his heart.

Kong Linglong spoke again slowly: "Is it the fault of Xiuniang's sister-in-law, or shopkeeper Xu? Or, shopkeeper Xu doesn't know who is the reason?"

To be honest, Dr. Xu blushed, and he didn't expect that the young master was still a girl who hadn't left the court, so how could he say such words so naturally and without embarrassment.It would be easy for others to prevaricate, but Kong Linglong sat here as the head of the family, and had to face the question no matter how embarrassing it was.

"Young master is very grateful for caring about me and Xiuniang, but this..." Dr. Xu was still trying to find an excuse.

Kong Linglong has already made her own judgment based on the previous signs: "Shopkeeper Xu, you are a doctor yourself. After discovering this problem, you must have treated you and sister-in-law Xiuniang first, but since you and sister-in-law Xiuniang are not young, there is still no problem." Find a solution. What's more, Dr. Xu felt ashamed of his medical skills just now and felt ashamed of what he learned, so even after so many years, Dr. Xu himself has not figured out the reason why you and Xiu Niang have no children."

Dr. Xu blushed a few times when he spoke straight. What's more, he couldn't refute. He couldn't imagine that the long-term suffering between husband and wife would be right by Kong Linglong's guess.

Of course Kong Linglong guessed it based on various signs, but she had great confidence in Dr. Xu's medical skills, and she didn't think it was Dr. Xu's own problem.

"Young master, please don't talk about it." Dr. Xu bowed his head shyly.

At this time, Kong Linglong's eyes were a bit subtle: "Master Xu is a doctor himself, so of course he won't shy away from medical treatment. Therefore, I plan to ask Fu Ling to check the pulse of Xiuniang's sister-in-law first. She is a woman, so she is naturally better than Dr. Xu in this regard." Sharper."

Dr. Xu was taken aback, and before he had time to think about it, he said, "It's not good to be the master, isn't it?"

He didn't know that Poria cocos well, and he wasn't even older than Kong Linglong, because Xiuniang had been unhappy with this matter all these years, and if she was provoked at this moment, Dr. Xu would be very worried.

Kong Linglong's clear eyes looked at Dr. Xu: "What's the problem, there is a specialty in surgery, Fu Ling, a medical girl, specializes in gynecology."

Dr. Xu has learned a complex system of medical skills, and is most suitable for sitting in a doctor's office. However, Fu Ling's so-called wild way makes her incapable of sitting in a doctor's office. However, she is far better than Xu when dealing with women, like every part of a woman's body. Doctor, this man is proficient.

From the very beginning, she felt that the problem was with Xiu Niang.

For an honest man like Dr. Xu, even if he had some guesses in his heart, he would never let Xiuniang worry, let alone abandon her.

Kong Linglong added another sentence: "You haven't seen Fuling's ability yet."

The conversation between Dr. Xu and Kong Linglong made him want to stand on the spot for a long time. He didn't doubt Kong Linglong's seriousness, but he was too serious. He couldn't resist this kind of drive to pursue everything to the end.

And, the next day, Dr. Xu was finally persuaded to go to Baishan Village to sit in the restaurant again, while Fuling stayed and began to investigate Xiuniang's physical abnormalities.
