Chapter 9 Turn Your Face
Because he agreed to discuss the marriage to Lu Jinping at noon to marry into the Gao family and do a son-in-law, Mr. Gao became his father-in-law, and his status was different. Of course, he could not go to the door to greet his son-in-law in person, as it would be a bit of a loss. Mr. Gao thought it would affect the subsequent negotiations on marriage to join, so he arranged for the Gao family butler to welcome him at the door. He invited Lu Jinping to the inner house and then discussed the matter carefully.
The senior manager took two servants and waited on the steps outside the yard. From a distance, he saw Lu Jinping and his maid Ye Qingqing coming over with two jars. He quickly stepped down the steps and went forward, bowed his hands and smiled and said, "Doctor, you are here. Our master is discussing with you about something, let the young man wait at the door."
Lu Jinping's heart skipped a beat. It was probably what Ye Qingqing had expected before. He asked knowingly: "I wonder what Old Master Gao has to discuss?"
The senior manager smiled and said, "The old man must tell you personally. Please come with me in. Then you will know. The old man, the old lady and two grandmas are waiting. The miracle doctor! - Give me the things, I will carry them."
After saying that, the senior manager reached out and took the Chinese medicine jars and the food box for dishes from Ye Qingqing.
The senior manager took the food box and immediately smelled a tempting aroma of the dishes. You should know that Lu Jinping used these dishes stir-fried by modern cooking technology, while the Tang Dynasty's cooking technology lags behind the modern ones, and many cooking methods have not appeared yet. Naturally, they have never tasted Lu Jinping's dishes stir-fried before, so the senior manager was an official from a wealthy family. He was knowledgeable and knew that the dishes inside were extraordinary. He couldn't help but put down the jar, opened the food box and looked in, and saw a few exquisite dishes inside, all the colors, fragrance and taste. He couldn't help but say with surprise: "Wow! What a beautiful dish, but I don't know which famous chef in the Tongzhou restaurant is the craftsmanship?"
Ye Qingqing said proudly: "It is our Lord's craftsmanship! His craftsmanship is not easily revealed, and I have never eaten them before. You ladies are lucky to be able to eat the dishes our Lord's craftsmanship himself! Hehehehe."
When the old senior manager Gao heard this, he was stunned. He looked up and down at Lu Jinping and said tentatively: "Sir? Are you the county baron who was resurrected from the dead half a year ago in Tongzhou Prefecture, and the great-grandson of Lu Deming, one of the eighteen bachelors around Emperor Taizong?"
Lu Jinping smiled bitterly, glanced at Ye Qingqing, and nodded.
Now, the senior manager's face suddenly changed color, and soon he felt something was wrong again, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "It turns out it is Master Lu. Shi Jing and Shi Jing. This, two of us, we masters, have some urgent matters to do, I am afraid that we will not meet Master Zhu today. Please forgive me!"
When he heard this, the smile on Ye Qingqing's face froze. However, Lu Jinping smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "Then let's say goodbye!" After that, he turned around and left, and Ye Qingqing had to follow him.
After walking out of the road, Ye Qingqing whispered: How could the butler change his face? Seeing his disgusted look, it seems like we are beggars!"
Lu Jinping sighed and said, "I'm afraid that in their eyes, we are even worse than beggars. You know, I sold my property and bribed it, and finally got rid of water. I was so angry that I vomited blood on the spot. Although I was reborn from the dead, my reputation was too bad. His Gao family was a retired official in Beijing and had a prominent life experience, so naturally he regarded people like us as waste. - At the beginning, he asked me for my name and I didn't say it, just because I was worried about this, it turned out to be true. Alas! Now, don't worry about being recruited by them as son-in-law. But, I'm afraid even the bounty they promised was a little hungry."
Ye Qingqing stuck out her tongue and whispered: "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm talking too fast, I've said it."
Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "It's okay. Even if you don't tell me now, I will tell them in two days. This kind of thing can be hidden from the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I originally wanted to use this matter to refuse. It would be better for them to know earlier. I want to see what they are going to do about this matter?"
———————————————
Before Lu Jinping and the others could walk away, the senior manager hurriedly carried the food box and the jar containing the medicine, quickly walked into the yard, and hurried to the back house.
In the back house, Mr. Gao and several wives and concubines were waiting for the senior manager to invite Lu Jinping in and discuss with him about marrying into the Gao family. Seeing the senior manager hurried in, but there was no Lu Jinping behind him, Mr. Gao was stunned and asked, "Where is the miracle doctor? Did he ask him the maid? He didn't come? If he doesn't come, how can we talk about the marriage?"
The senior manager lowered his voice and said, "Old man, old lady, two grandmas, this marriage cannot be settled!"
Old Master Gao and his three wives and concubines were stunned for a moment, and frowned and said, "How can you not get married?"
"Their family's life experience is not worthy of us!"
Mrs. Gao smiled: "What am I doing? The old man said that he is a pauper. As long as he has this medical skill, the old man will recommend him to work in the Imperial Hospital in the future and become an imperial physician. It would be a mere task to be glorious and wealthy? If you become an imperial physician, you can be worthy of your daughter."
The senior manager waved his hands repeatedly and said, "That's not the case! If he was just poor, that would be fine, but he was the kind of waste that the old man hated the most!"
Before the old lady and the two concubines could react, they looked at each other and asked, "Waste? What kind of waste?"
Old Master Gao heard the clues, quickly waved his hand, told his wife and concubine not to interrupt, and said anxiously: "Can he actually be..."
"That's right! He is the unworthy descendant of the Lu family! He sold his property and borrowed usury half a year ago to bribe him and wanted to become an official. As a result, the official who received his money was investigated and could not come back even if the matter was not done. He was angry and anxious and vomited blood and died. The next day he was reborn and reborn!"
That incident has spread throughout Tongzhou. However, there was no TV network in ancient times, so it could only be passed on by word of mouth. Many people know this news, but I have never met Lu Jinping himself, so I did not associate him with the scandal, which allowed him to make money by setting up a stall on the street.
But this incident has become a joke for many people in Tongzhou City after dinner. Of course, Mr. Gao has also heard of it. Although he has not been here for a long time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. His face became very ugly and he whispered, "He is the great-grandson of Lu Deming, one of the eighteen bachelors of Emperor Taizong, and the only founding county man in Tongzhou?"
"It's this person! He has lost all the face of their ancestors!"
"You're not wrong?"
"His maid let it go and called him Lord Lord. I immediately became alert. He is the only one in Tongzhou called Lord Lord Lord Lord. I immediately thought that it might be him and immediately asked him, and he admitted in person that he was the Lord Lord Lu who was resurrected from the dead, so why is there any mistake?"
Miss Gao cried behind her: "Dad, mom, I don't want to marry that coward! I won't marry you even if I beat you to death!" After that, she started crying.
The third aunt quickly ran over to sit by the bed, hugged her daughter in her arms, and comforted her softly: "Good daughter, don't worry, your father hates such a person the most, and will never recruit him as a son-in-law. Don't worry, we should choose another good match. We must find a son-in-law who is very satisfied with my daughter. We will never let such a waste be your husband. Just keep your heart in your stomach!"
The old lady and the second concubine looked at each other, and their faces were ugly. The old woman said to Mr. Gao: "Yes, this matter has to be discussed for a long time. Although we are kind, this person is too bad. He actually sells his ancestral property to bribe him and wants to be an official. If we hire such a person as a son-in-law, we will be stung by others and laugh to death. The old man's reputation will be completely ruined."
The second concubine continued, "Yes, yes, I heard that this person was a nerd before. But I have never heard of him having any skill in medical skills. This time, it may be that the blind cat met a dead mouse and got a folk remedy from somewhere. Old Master, such a person cannot be supported by the wall. Master, you must be careful."
Old Master Gao had a gloomy face and nodded slowly: "Yes, this waste is not worthy of being my son-in-law of the Gao family. If I let him be a son-in-law, all my old face would be lost.
Old Master Gao turned around and said to the senior manager: "He came to deliver medicine in the afternoon and told him that he would never use it again. He didn't even think about Yu's affairs in my Gao family! He didn't allow him to step into my Gao family again! Did you hear it?"
The senior manager quickly agreed.
