Chapter 246 Not a Kind Kind
Not long after, a maid came to deliver a message, saying that the old lady at home wanted to see Ying Bao alone.
Ying Bao and A Niang looked at each other and had no choice but to get up and follow the maid to the inner courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.
The old lady in the Duke's Mansion is the wife of Taishi Xiao, the biological mother of Queen Xiao, and the biological grandmother of Xiao Mo and Xiao Chengjun. Judging from her gray-haired appearance, she must be in her sixties.
Ying Bao bowed her hands and saluted her: "Ying Bao has met the old lady, and the old lady is safe."
The old lady smiled and said: "No need to be polite, come quickly and let me have a good look."
Ying Bao took a few steps closer and his hands were grabbed by the old lady.
"Hey, what a handsome kid." The old lady smiled and asked, "What's your name? How old are you this year?"
"My name is Jiang Yingbao, and I am six years old."
"Hey, you're only six years old, and you're already a young doctor with superb medical skills. It's really amazing. Come on, sit next to me and talk."
A maid quickly brought a round stool and placed it next to the old lady's Arhat bed.
Ying Bao was not polite and sat down on the round stool and looked around.
There were several people sitting in the room, all of them young.
The two young women looked to be in their twenties, and the other two were girls in their teens. One was pretty and the other was bright and flamboyant.
A bright little girl in a peach-colored gauze skirt came to the old lady, looked at Yingbao with a smile, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm a little dizzy today, please help me feel my pulse."
Ying Bao was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
Isn't it just to check her pulse? I promise to find out some of her problems.
The two maids moved a small table, and Ying Bao took the pulse of the little girl in the peach-colored gauze skirt on the small table.
After a while, he said: "Your pulse is straight and long, and you have strong liver fire."
The little girl was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Ying Bao asked: "Are you short-tempered and easily angry?"
The little girl nodded: "Yes, is this also a problem?"
Ying Bao glanced at the butterfly spots on the bridge of her nose and told the truth: "Of course it's a problem. If it's not treated in time, as time goes by, there will be more and more dark spots on your face, which will affect your appearance."
The pretty face of the little girl in a peach-colored gauze skirt turned red. She suddenly became angry and shouted: "How dare you! Who gave you the courage to arrange for me!"
She was most afraid of people saying she had dark spots on her face. This despicable country girl dared to poke her sore feet in public.
Ying Bao blinked and turned to look at everyone. Seeing that they were all speechless, including the kind-hearted old lady sitting in the seat, she couldn't help but sneer.
Emotionally, they called her over because they wanted to intimidate her.
Ying Bao curled her lips and burst into tears, "Dad! Mom! Someone is bullying me. She obviously wants me to check my pulse, but she doesn't want anyone to tell the truth. Oooh, ooh, ooh... I want to go home! I want to go home…"
Everyone was startled by her wails and howls. A maid rushed over to coax her, but she couldn't coax her well at all.
Seeing that the baby girl was crying more and more fiercely, kicking her legs and kicking the bed, and repeatedly shouting for her parents to go home, completely disregarding her dignity, the old lady had no choice but to ask her maid to take her back to the guest house first.
After sending the baby girl away, the old lady glared at her granddaughter: "Yanyan, why are you angry at her?"
Yan Yan said with an aggrieved look: "That kid did it on purpose. He dared to be so rude. Grandma, you actually blamed your granddaughter."
Old lady: "She is just telling the truth. Since you asked her to take her pulse, why not let her tell her pulse?"
"She's just talking nonsense!" Yan Yan was unconvinced. "Look at how she behaved just now, she must have done it on purpose."
The old lady patted her granddaughter on the arm and said helplessly: "You, how old is that child? It was intentional or not, he is just uneducated and ignorant."
The grandson's daughter-in-law next to her smiled and said: "Grandma is right. Although the child saved the king, she was born in a rural area, has little knowledge, and has no regard for dignity when things happen. Even if we try to persuade her, it is useless. She is A Dou who cannot be helped."
The other daughter-in-law also nodded in agreement: "She comes from a rural background and cannot be educated. Her master just scolds her and she won't stop crying. How can she behave like this?"
The old lady sighed: "That's all, I originally wanted to keep her in the house for a few years, but it seems it's not necessary."
Such a willful girl who doesn't know how to tolerate will be of little use even if she is raised.
Instead of raising a white-eyed wolf that doesn't know how to respect its master, it's better to train an obedient dog.
There are many promising children who want to join her Xiao family, including this one.
Jiang Yingbao just knows some medical skills based on her family's secret recipes, so it's not a big deal.
Moreover, the Xiao family also received news that the child had handed over the ancestral secret recipe to Yao Yuanzheng, and Yao Yuanzheng also presented her with several manuscripts for this purpose.
As a result, Jiang Yingbao is worthless, and it will be of little use even if it is left.
Mrs. Xiao ordered: "Find an escort agency tomorrow and find some escorts to take them back to their hometown. Be sure not to let others gossip."
The whole capital knew that the Xiao family had found a barefoot doctor from the countryside. At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were watching every move of the Xiao family. If one were not careful, an official would send the impeachment papers to the Holy Lord. .
So even if they were reluctant, the Xiao family had to spend money to send the group back.
"Yes, grandson-in-law will send someone to handle this matter when she gets back." Prince Xiao Chengde's wife said.
The old lady nodded, "That makes me feel relieved. You all can go back. I'm tired."
"Yes, granddaughter-in-law is resigning."
"Grandma, please have a good rest. My granddaughter has also returned."
Several people walked out of Fushou Hall one after another.
As for Ying Bao, she stopped crying immediately after being sent back to the guest house. She wiped her eyes and quietly told her mother the whole story while no one was around.
Chun Niang frowned when she heard this, "The Xiao family seems to be easy-going, but in fact they are very difficult to get along with."
Not only is he difficult to get along with, but he also looks down on others.
Even the servants of the Xiao family looked down upon them. Every time they brought food and water, they were rude and treated them like beggars. This made Chun Niang very uncomfortable.
But I can only endure it for the time being as I wait for my daughter to come back.
Now that her daughter is back, she is eager to leave immediately.
"Aniang, you don't have to be polite to them in the future."
Ying Bao said: "We are not here to fight against the autumn wind, nor are we here to seek refuge in the Xiao Mansion without food. We are the doctors invited by Xiao Mo."
If she treats the invited guests with such an attitude, she doesn't have to show shame to them.
After all, I am just a child, and I will cry if something goes wrong. The best is to make them lose face.
This Xiao family is all the same, that Xiao Chengjun is like this, and the rest of the Xiao family is like this.
No wonder his ending was so miserable in that book. It turns out that none of the Xiao family are good people.
Now Yingbao is 100% sure that Xiao Chengjun is the male protagonist in the book, and she was killed by him and his mistress in the book.
As for why she was able to marry into such a high-ranking family in the book, Ying Bao still doesn't know.
But as I grow up, many things will become clearer.
That night, after her mother-in-law and Chen Zhao were asleep, Ying Bao got up to sort out her belongings.
The boxes and cages were opened one by one, and the valuables such as gold, silver, silk and cloth were put into the cave, including the tools and books presented by Yao Yuanzheng, and then the boxes were locked again.
When I go back, I will take these empty boxes with me, and the road will be much safer.
