Chapter 115 Trust
Xia Xiaorou took a carriage and came to Sangshu Village in Jinyuan Township with Song Yanbai.
After a little inquiry, they found the scholar who was selling the land.
Looking at the luxurious farm, Xia Xiaorou's eyes lit up. Isn't this the home of Qi Xiucai, with whom she had sold grain in her previous life?
She went to the county town to sell grain, and Qi Xiucai also sold grain. They cooperated and negotiated a high-priced business.
After a few visits, we became familiar with each other.
Later, when Qi Xiucai's mother celebrated her birthday, she came to have a drink.
Xia Xiaorou got off the carriage and was about to knock on the gate when it opened from the inside. Madam Luo came out with two maids.
When they saw Xia Xiaorou, they were slightly stunned.
But soon, disdainful smiles appeared on their faces.
Madam Luo smiled awkwardly, "It turns out to be Madam Xia. Why is Madam Xia here too?"
"I know Mr. Qi's mother and came to visit her. Why is Madam Luo here?" Xia Xiaorou said in a calm voice.
Madam Luo's eyes moved around Xia Xiaorou's face, then she walked to Xia Xiaorou's side, looked around her, and smiled mockingly, "Madam Xia, do you think your figure and face can compare to the noble ladies in the capital?"
Xia Xiaorou knew that Madam Luo was comparing her with Wen Xiashu.
She had never seen Wen Xiashu, and she followed Mrs. Luo's words, saying that her appearance and figure would only make her lose.
"No girl in the capital would have the leisure to compare herself with a country girl like me, right? Isn't that lowering her status? It's like the fourth Miss Wen of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, who would never compare her looks with the maids around her. It would make her look unconfident and jealous of the maids around her. Am I right, Madam Luo?"
Mrs. Luo's face suddenly froze.
The two followers beside her were so frightened that they hurriedly pulled her sleeves and whispered, "Madam Luo? You have fallen into the trap of this Madam Xia."
Madam Luo gritted her teeth and sneered grimly, "You are only good at talking. Don't cry when you are abandoned by Mr. Yan in the future." She paused, "Or if you please me a little, I will help you get a position in front of Mr. Yan and make you a concubine."
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Luo. I don't like being someone's concubine. You should give the position to the girl you like." After saying this, Xia Xiaorou walked into the gate of Qi Xiucai's house.
Song Yanbai parked the carriage, put his hands on his hips and walked up to Mrs. Luo. "You are a really interesting woman. Women in our village don't bother to compare with those in other places. Oh, by the way, you are also a woman from the village. You are Mr. Luo's sister. You lose when compared with women in the city. Take our Xiaorou for example? Haha, with your big round face and small triangular eyes, can you compare with my Xiaorou? Forget it."
He flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Madam Luo was so angry that she was shaking. She waved her hand to the two servants beside her and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Come forward and beat that boy up!"
Song Yanbai was cunning. Seeing that there were three of them and he was alone, he quickly ran into the gate of Qi Xiucai's house.
He turned around and lay down at the door and said, "Three against one, villain!" Worried that the three of them might damage Xia Xiaorou's carriage, he pointed at the carriage and said, "That's Mr. Yan's carriage, you guys keep an eye on it for me, don't damage a piece of wood."
Mrs. Luo and the other two were so angry that they stamped their feet and were at a loss what to do.
"Madam Luo, do you really want to watch the carriage for that boy?"
Mrs. Luo bit her lip, "What are you looking at? I'm not looking!"
She angrily got into her carriage and left with her two followers.

Xia Xiaorou entered Qi Xiucai's house and said to the gatekeeper, "I'm looking for Qi Xiucai. I heard that he is selling his land, so I came to ask him about it."
The gatekeeper said, "Madam, you came at an unfortunate time. Our scholar has sold his land to the lady just now."
"Have you signed any documents?" Xia Xiaorou asked again.
"I'm not sure. You have to ask Mr. Qi."
Xia Xiaorou pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'll ask."
Seeing that she was well-dressed and followed by a gentle young man, the gatekeeper sent a runner to take Xia Xiaorou and Song Yanbai to the back house to meet Qi Xiucai.
As Xia Xiaorou walked, she asked the waiter, "How is the old lady in your village?"
She remembered that Old Mrs. Qi had not been in good health and had always had an illness. Later, she was cured. Mr. Qi was very happy and held a birthday party for the old lady.
The young man who led the way shook his head and said, "It's not very good recently. Our scholar is looking for a doctor everywhere."
Xia Xiaorou said, "I have an acquaintance who is a doctor with great medical skills. If Qi Xiucai hasn't found a doctor yet, I can bring him to see your old lady."
The young man who led the way was delighted and said, "That's great. I'll tell our scholar about it when I see him later."
As they were talking, Xia Xiaorou and Song Yanbai followed the waiter to the main house of the Qi family.
Inside the room, Qi Xiucai was standing up to say goodbye to a doctor carrying a medicine box on his back, "Qi Xiucai, my ability is limited, Qi Xiucai, please find someone else, I am ashamed, ashamed."
Qi Xiucai sighed and called a long-time attendant beside him, "Send Doctor Liu away."
After the doctor left, the waiter led Xia Xiaorou and Song Yanbai into the main house, "Master, a lady said she wanted to buy land, and she also said she knew a great doctor."
Doctor Qi has been looking for a doctor every day for the past month, but he has consulted more than ten doctors and none of them can cure his mother's illness. He was so anxious that he, who is in his early forties, has even turned a few hairs white.
"Really?" Doctor Qi asked in surprise.
Song Yanbai immediately thought of Doctor Chen, who also took a liking to Miss Luo's brother. He said, "Yes, there is a great doctor who also took a liking to the illness of the precious son of Luo Zhuangzhu of Jinqiao Township."
Doctor Qi slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, now that you mentioned it, I remember that I know Master Luo. I met his eldest daughter a few days ago and asked about Brother Luo's condition. I heard that he is getting better. Why didn't I think of that doctor?"
"Brother Yanbai, please drive the carriage back and bring Doctor Chen here." Xia Xiaorou nodded to Song Yanbai.
"Okay, I'll go back now." Song Yanbai turned and left.
Qi Xiucai was very happy. After asking Xia Xiaorou's name, he asked someone to find a seat for Xia Xiaorou.
Xia Xiaorou continued, "Actually, I came to Qi Xiucai's farm because I wanted to buy your land. I heard that your family was selling land, and I happened to have some spare money, so I wanted to buy some land."
Qi Xiucai frowned, "But, Madam Xia, you came at an inopportune time. The sister of the owner of Luojiazhuang also wants to buy my land. I told her the price, and she said she would bring money to sign the contract with me tomorrow. I am good friends with the owner of Luozhuang, and I am embarrassed to refuse his sister."
Xia Xiaorou smiled slightly, "Qi Xiucai's family has a lot of land, you can discuss with her and let her give me a few acres of land."
Qi Xiucai rubbed his forehead, thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
Xia Xiaorou drank a cup of tea and rested for a while, then Song Yanbai came with Doctor Chen.
When Dr. Qi saw that it was a young doctor, he was immediately disappointed.
But Song Yanbai and Xia Xiaorou kept praising Doctor Chen's medical skills.
Doctor Chen was very grateful to Xia Xiaorou for finding him business, but he hadn't even seen a patient yet, and he was told that he would definitely be able to treat the patient well. He felt unsure, and whispered to Xia Xiaorou, "Madam Xia, I haven't even seen a patient yet, and you're saying that I will definitely be able to treat the patient well? Isn't this destroying my reputation?"
Xia Xiaorou raised her lips, "I trust you."
