Chapter 79
Fighting for favor
Xue Yutan left the inner courtyard and went to the flower hall to meet the guests.
The guest is a young man in his twenties, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, and is very handsome.
"Young Master Lu." Xue Yutan greeted him.
Lu Shu also performed rituals.
The two of them had a few meetings and met at King Yu's banquet.
Xue Yutan had poor sleep during that time. Lu Shu said that she had strong liver fire and prescribed some medicine for her to recover quickly.
Therefore, the two have some friendship.
"...I want to meet Sister Ling, please recommend it to me." Lu Shu explained his purpose.
He is a man, so it is hard to give Xue Mei a famous post.
Xue Mei has almost no friends. Lu Shu recently asked around, but no one seemed to know her.
She rarely socializes.
Because of his excellent medical skills, Jinkui Tang met many high-ranking officials and nobles. Lu Shu also participated in the last spring banquet for the Empress because of her unmarried spring.
He also met Xue Mei at the banquet. At that time, there were two men around Xue Yutan, who seemed to be the third young master of the Xue family and Wen Zhao, who were humiliating her.
Lu Shu listened to a few words. Although they were a little too much, Xue Mei was really not good at it.
She looked ordinary, and Lu Shu had no idea of talking for her, and watched coldly.
He felt that Xue Yutan should have a bad relationship with Xue Mei, and he didn't want to bother her. Unexpectedly, except for Xue Yutan, the other people had a bad relationship with Xue Mei.
As a last resort, he had to come to the door and ask Xue Yutan to help.
After hearing this, Xue Yutan changed his face slightly: "I am afraid I can't do anything about this, so Mr. Lu please come back."
She was full of anger.
Everyone praised Xue Mei for wanting to see her. What ability does she have? She is not good-looking enough, she is just an ordinary person.
Lu Shu stood up and said, "Miss Second, please help me. I heard that Sister Ling was fighting against Lu Qi's reputation as a ghost doctor disciple, which involves our Lu family."
Xue Yutan's eyes turned and suddenly had some idea: "What's going on with the ghost doctor disciple?"
"I don't know, so I want to ask Sister Ling," said Lu Shu.
Xue Yutan pondered for a moment.
Even though she is angry, she is not impulsive or stupid. People will always suffer from diseases of all sizes in their lives.
The Lu family has excellent medical skills and excellent medicine effects. There is no need to offend Lu Shu, the future head of the family.
She endured this tone and took revenge on Xue Mei in the future.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll send someone to invite my sister. However, my sister is afraid she is unwilling to treat her guests today." Xue Yutan said.
"It's okay, I can come back another day." Lu Shu said.
Xue Yutan asked the maid to go in and report.
The two of them sat down and continued to have tea.
Lu Shu glanced at Xue Yutan gently, but when she saw her clear eyes and beautiful appearance, she thought that King Yu was infatuated with her, he did not dare to treat her lightly.
A moment later, the maid came out.
"Second Miss, the eldest lady said she was uncomfortable today and didn't want to come out to see the guests." The maid said.
In fact, the maid never saw the eldest lady.
When she went to Huining Garden, Hongluan was blocked at the door and sarcastically scolded her.
This maid, chrysanthemum hairpin, had bullied Hongluan before, but now she is blocked and refused to be in. What can she do?
Xue Yutan nodded with an expected expression: "Young Master Lu heard that I have never lie to you. If you trust me, I will slowly tell my sister that I will invite you to visit in a few days. She has never liked socializing."
Lu Shu stood up and bowed: "I'm sorry, Miss II."
He was not surprised either.
Lu Shu returned home and was called by his grandfather.
His father and uncles were all there, and he was in a bad mood, as if he had encountered something difficult.
"... Empress Dowager Hu asked your grandfather to enter the palace and asked about the medical skills of the woman outside the palace to bring back his life. Your grandfather couldn't answer and was scolded by Empress Dowager Hu." His father came over and told Lu Shu in a low voice.
Lu Shu was stunned.
Empress Dowager Hu is the emperor's biological mother.
She used to be a palace maid and was angry with the Imperial Hospital. After being appointed as the Empress Dowager, she refused to give face to the Imperial Hospital people. She invited the famous doctor of the Lu family, who was very sick or minor illnesses.
The Lu family is qualified to go to the palace to serve, and it must be the old man.
Empress Dowager Hu didn't look for Xue Mei, and refused to give the little girl a decent attitude, so she wouldn't be too proud of her, and only asked Mr. Lu.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Lu couldn't tell the reason. He didn't know and dared not deceive the Empress Dowager. If he talked nonsense and Empress Dowager Hu had a whim to confront Xue Mei, the Lu family would be a death sentence.
The old man was scolded and was in a bad mood.
He really didn't know Xue Mei's medical skills.
"Did you see the eldest lady of the Xue family?" the old man asked Lu Shu.
Lu Shu shook his head.
The old man frowned even deeper: "You can't do this?"
Lu Shu's heart tightened: "Grandfather, grandson will hold on."
The old man waved his hand and asked him to go out.
The sons sat down and they parted.
The fifth master of the Lu family left the old house and returned to his own house. The concubine came to serve him.
He briefly told his concubine about what happened today.
The concubine rubbed his shoulders: "Master, Wen'er knows Wen Zhao. Miss Xue is Wen Zhao's fiancée. Why would you let Wen'er try it?
If the things that Mr. Changsun cannot do, if Wen'er does, wouldn't the old man look up to you father and son?"
Lu Wen is the concubine's son of the fifth master and is usually favored by his father. However, there are many children and grandchildren in the family, so it is difficult for a grandson who is born in vain to have the opportunity to show up with his grandfather.
The fifth master himself is incompetent and cannot be favored by his father.
This concubine is Lu Wen's biological mother, so she naturally plans for her son everywhere.
Upon hearing this, the fifth master felt aroused.
He immediately called Lu Wen over.
"...me?" Lu Wen waved his hand quickly, "Wen Zhao and I were just friends with wine and meat. We drank twice together. Miss Xue even refused Princess Baoqing's invitation, let alone me? I won't go!"
The aunt was so angry that she pinched his ears: "You are useless, go for me! If you beat your elder brother, you will be more respectful at home!"
Master Wu also said: "Wen'er, you have been studying medicine all the time, but you can't get the teachings of your grandfather. The medical skills are a bit ineffective. If you succeed, your grandfather will definitely have to support you."
Lu Wen is a doctor who studies with the family's teacher.
He is not qualified to be guided by his grandfather.
Grandfather not only gave advice, but also gave praise. For example, if the eldest brother Lu Shu had not taken him and held him, how could he have been called a "young miracle doctor" at a young age?
Lu Wen felt that he was no worse than him.
"Then, I'll try it?" Lu Wen said, "If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
The fifth master smiled and said, "No, you can do your best."
He also gave Lu Wen twenty taels of silver and asked him to invite Wen Zhao to dinner.
At the same time, the old man of the Lu family was very anxious. If Empress Dowager Hu recruited him again next time, he still couldn't answer, and he was afraid he would lose Empress Dowager Hu's protection.
He urged Lu Shu.
Lu Shu was full of confidence. If Xue Mei really knew medical skills with his reputation, she should be very interested in meeting him.
At the same time, a joke was being made in the Lu family that the unreliable fifth master actually asked his incompetent concubine Lu Wen to see Xue Mei.
"It's ridiculous to still want to compete for favor at this time."
Lu Shu also found it ridiculous.
What is Lu Wen?
