(Thanks to book friend 20220913171201397 for the monthly ticket~)
Listening to Father Li’s words of praise for Li Sanniang, everyone in the audience thought that Li Sanniang was so different. Li Sanniang from Gaotai was indeed unique. After saying such a sentence, she asked Li Silang to ring the gong and start the banquet directly.
"Such a straightforward and neat girl is really rare to see. She is worthy of being awarded an official position by a saint."
Father Li felt happy when he heard what his old friend said. , Father Li stroked his beard and said: "Where, where, she is just impatient for me to say a few more words."
But there was no look of dissatisfaction on Father Li's face, it was just a complaint.
The service at Jinmanlou is very good. When the gong is struck, it means the banquet is open.
At the Li family's side, there are young men wearing blue shorts, each holding a tray. The four of them are divided into one table. At the beginning, cold dishes and delicate snacks are served first. It looks like they are in the home of a wealthy person. Only then can you eat something.
Li's father and Li Sanniang first toasted from the table in the main hall where Sun Yizheng and Gao Lao were sitting, and then went to the second table in the side hall. Sitting there were wealthy people who had good relations with the Li family. People like Fang Chengxian, Junior Brother Shaoyang, Xing Yu and others are at this table.
Li Sanniang was dragged by Father Li, and together with the elder brother Li and the second brother Li, they visited all seven or eight tables.
The first few tables were fine. Most of the people there were more reserved, and their compliments were very subtle.
But those tables outside, especially those who live on the same street as the Li family, have watched Li Sanniang grow up, get married, divorce, and return home, and have watched her become a doctor step by step. Now that he has become an official again, he really said what he said. Even if Li Sanniang drank only a few degrees of sweet fruit wine, her cheeks would turn red and she would be embarrassed to raise her head.
“On the day Sanniangzi was born, I saw the sky full of colorful clouds. I knew at that time that Sanniang would have great fortunes in the future!
Look, look, now Isn’t that right?
There are no officials on our streets, but a girl like Sanniangzi is really the first one to do so!”
After finally finishing socializing with the Li family, Li Sanniang hurriedly followed Li's mother and others waiting at the door to go to the girls' support club next door.
Probably because all the guests here are female customers and there is no man. Even the people serving food are all little girls from Jinmanlou wearing red bean paste-colored clothes.
So, as soon as Li Sanniang entered, she was greeted with strange looks from all the girls.
Someone with a lively temperament, like Yin Liu Niang, just opened her mouth and said: "Okay, Li Langguan came just when the hot dishes were about to be served. He must be punished. It only takes three glasses of wine.
Sisters, am I right?”
When one person speaks out, everyone responds.
How could Li Sanniang be afraid of this?
She walked to the table where Yin Liu Niang was sitting and poured herself three glasses of fruit wine on the spot.
A high platform was also set up here. Li Sanniang walked directly to the high platform with a glass of newly poured wine. Standing on the high platform, she looked at the dozens of women of different ages below the stage and shouted loudly. Shouting: "You are able to come to my banquet today, Li Sanniang, because you are honoring me. Thank you very much, Sanniang."
Li Sanniang raised his glass to everyone, "This cup is dedicated to you all!"
< br>
After finishing the glass of wine, Li Sanniang bowed to everyone again.
“Not much to say, everyone, I just hope that everyone will eat and drink well today. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me.”
After saying this, Li Sanniang was about to step down. Then, I heard Yin Liuniang's voice coming from the audience again: "Doctor Li, don't be in a hurry to step down.
Can you say a few more words to us? There are not many women who can be officials. I know that the palace There is a female official inside.
But you are the first girl to be an official in the Imperial Medical Office!
Dr. Li, please say a few more words to us, we want to hear it. "
Yin Liu Niang stood up and looked around: "Ah, sisters, am I right? Do you also want to hear more from Dr. Li? "
The brave ones also responded loudly: "I want to hear it, I want to hear it, Dr. Li can say a few words, and a few more words. ”
Unable to resist the hospitality, Li Sanniang took two steps back and stood at the center of the high platform again. After she stood still, she did not say anything immediately. Instead, she looked at the platform from left to right with her eyes. Everyone is taken care of
After a brief pause, Li Sanniang saw that the ladies in the audience did not urge her. She swallowed and then spoke leisurely.
“My grandma is a stable woman,” Li Sanniang looked at Li’s mother beside the audience, “I think many people know this.”
“All these guys know I know, my three boys were all delivered by Mrs. Zhao Wen.”
Li Sanniang smiled and nodded at the neighbor Aunt Zhao who answered, “My grandma is still delivering babies to this day. Even though the establishment of the Women's Support Association has made my mother-in-law very busy, she still goes to deliver babies to women in the three outer cities, charging only a dozen at a time. "
From the perspective of the women present, the money was not too much, but it was not too little to look down upon.
The girls were puzzled, why did Li Sanniang talk about how much money Li's mother would charge for delivering a baby?
However, no one pressed to ask questions. They all wanted to hear what Li Sanniang would say next?
"My sister-in-law," Li Sanniang looked at Sister-in-law Li who was standing next to Li's mother. Sister-in-law Li was a little confused. Why was she mentioned?
“My eldest sister-in-law Jiang Meihua comes from a family of warriors. She can ride horses, shoot arrows, and do some boxing and kicking.
When she married my eldest brother, I was still young. When I was young, my mother-in-law was very busy. Thanks to my sister-in-law for taking me.”
Sister-in-law Li was puzzled. She felt that after marrying into the Li family, her sister-in-law was young and her mother-in-law was busy, so she had to live a good life with her.
How is this worthy of Li Sanniang saying it in front of everyone?
Sister-in-law Li felt a little embarrassed. After listening to Li Sanniang's words, Mother Li guessed what she wanted to say, so she reached out and patted Sister-in-law Li's arm, indicating that she didn't need to be embarrassed, it was her fault. , nothing much to say.
“My second sister-in-law Wu Lan comes from Wujia Village on the outskirts of Beijing. She is the eldest granddaughter of the family. She has been diligent and quick since she was a child, and she is a neat person.
After she married my second brother, she helped her at home. It has helped my grandma and sister-in-law a lot.”
Sister-in-law Li was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she had such conflicts with Li Sanniang in the past. Now, Li Sanniang would actually praise her in front of everyone!
“As for me, because I am the oldest daughter in the family, my eldest brother, Aye, my mother-in-law, my second brother, and even my sister-in-law doted on me. When I was young, apart from studying medicine with Aye, I rarely helped the family.
Everyone, I am fortunate enough to be awarded an official position by a saint today. This is not my own glory, but the glory of me and my family!
Because they help me, help me, That’s how Li Mingfang is today!
So, ladies and gentlemen, you can marry a husband and have children, and you can also make a living outside, delivering babies like my mother-in-law, or It is good to be the shopkeeper of a silk shop like Mrs. Yin Liu.
Of course, girls can also rely on their own abilities to become an official like me.
Don’t just think that I am an official. I also know that there is a woman in Sinong Temple (Bi Qionglan) who is 50 years old and became an official earlier than me. Just because of her family background. The soil is well planted. "
Li Sanniang once again looked at the whole scene from left to right, "Everyone, a girl can live as happily as a man. A girl is the best whether at home or out! ”
