Chapter 796 Li San Niang is truly famous!
"Young Master Fang, you've arrived early."
With a gentle smile on his face, Fang Chengxian, even though he was thin due to illness, was already a picture of serene beauty just by standing there.
"Third Miss, how could I not be the first to congratulate you on such a joyous occasion?"
Li San Niang hadn't seen Fang Chengxian for a while. Looking at Fang Chengxian, dressed in dark green clothes, she felt that with such an open-minded attitude, even if he were to leave this world, he would surely be smiling.
"You've taken the best stuff from me again. Come on, quick, I'll lead you inside."
Fang Chengxian handed a wooden box to Li Erxiong. She looked at Li Sanniang and then turned to Li Erxiong, saying, "This is a gift for Sanniangzi. It's a medical book that I found in a bookstore in my spare time. I thought Sanniangzi might be interested in it, so I brought it over on this special day."
Li Erxiong opened the wooden box, and inside was indeed a book that had clearly been repaired.
Li Sanlang quickly picked up his pen and wrote down the congratulatory gift brought by Fang Chengxian on the red paper. Then, seeing that Li Sanlang had finished writing, Fang Chengxian took the remaining small wooden box in his hand and said, "This is something that Xu Jingzhen asked me to bring to congratulate Third Sister."
Upon hearing this, Li Erxiong looked at Li Sanniang. Li Sanniang was also taken aback for a moment, but in just a second, a smile appeared on her face.
"Please thank Mr. Xu for me, Mr. Fang, and thank him for remembering me."
Upon hearing Li San Niang's reply, Li Erxiong nodded to Li Sanlang, who seemed somewhat at a loss. Seeing that Li Erxiong had not opened the wooden box, Li San Niang had no choice but to write "one wooden box" on the gift list.
Li San Niang, accompanied by Qiu Xiang, led Fang Cheng into the courtyard first. She specially found a seat for him in the side hall and personally poured him tea.
"Third Sister, please go ahead and do your work. I know this place well, and I'll call for help if needed. Duoshou will be here soon, so don't worry."
Li San Niang curtsied and said, "I am really busy today. Let's talk properly after I've finished my business."
Li San Niang turned to leave, but before she could take two steps, Fang Chengxian called her back with a slightly hesitant voice.
“He knows that you, Third Sister, do not want to have anything to do with him anymore, but his congratulations to you are genuine.”
Li San Niang nodded slightly without turning around, and walked out of the side hall with Qiu Xiang, who pretended not to hear anything.
With Fang Chengxian's arrival, more and more people came to the Li family.
People who had dealings with Li San Niang, such as Physician Sun, Tang Mingyue, Chen Yanfu, and the Wang family, arrived one by one. Li San Niang led the female guests to the Women's Help Association, while Li's eldest and second brothers led the male guests to the Li family.
Many people passing by the Li family's house looked on with envy at the bustling crowd.
"The Li family will be different from us from now on."
"Hey, what are you saying? Were they like us before?"
The Li family already had members serving in the Imperial Guard, not to mention that the second son of the eldest branch of the Li family, despite his young age, had already become an official.
Two women who ran small businesses on the street where the Li family lived were talking about the Li family. Their conversation caught the attention of another woman behind them.
"That's still different from before."
Li San Niang was a divorced woman who had returned home, unlike her elder brother.
This incident shows that if this young girl is raised well, she can be just as capable as a son, and bring honor to the family.
"You see, Old Li's slap hasn't stopped; he's probably too happy to stop."
As the group was chatting about the Li family, an unusual carriage suddenly stopped in front of the Li family's house.
You should know that the streets have long been controlled by patrols, and people are not allowed to bring carriages in; they are required to park them directly at the carriage shops outside.
At this hour, to still be able to bring in a carriage, and a two-horse carriage at that, with the horses adorned with glittering gold decorations, this is definitely the carriage of royalty.
Not to mention passersby, even Li San Niang and her companions were taken aback by the magnificent carriage. It wasn't until Yan Mama, whom Li San Niang recognized, stepped down from it that Li San Niang realized who had arrived.
"The princess sent me to congratulate Physician Li. Physician Li was able to receive an official position from the emperor, which is truly a testament to the emperor's discerning eye. Physician Li's skills are indeed worthy of this position."
What could Li San Niang say when he started showering her with compliments right away?
Naturally, they bowed and expressed their gratitude. "This was specially chosen by the princess for Doctor Li. The princess hopes that Doctor Li will serve as an official well in the future, be worthy of the emperor's discerning eye, and bring blessings to our young lady."
Princess Qingyang would send Granny Yan to congratulate Li Sanniang, something Li Sanniang truly hadn't expected.
Regardless of whether Princess Qingyang was sincere or had ulterior motives, her status at this moment was indeed giving Li San Niang face.
If someone gives you face, you have to live up to that face!
Li San Niang thanked her gracefully and, together with her mother, invited Granny Yan into the house.
After Granny Yan, none of the people who came after her were of higher status than Princess Qingyang, after all, the number of imperial relatives in Chang'an was considerable.
Su Wanhui of the Qian family, who had a connection with Li Sanniang, also came with her son, Qian Xiaolang. Gao Dasao, Guo Wuniang, Yin Liuniang, and Song Zhenzhu, who had all sought medical treatment from Li Sanniang, also came to visit in person.
Not to mention the families who benefited from the Women's Assistance Association and the Midwife School. Even though Yao Qingqing and Sun Chunlan are currently on duty at a drug rehabilitation center in the suburbs of Beijing, their families still sent people to their door with gifts.
As for Xing Yu, Chang Siyuan, and the Ding brothers, who already had some connection with Li Sanniang, they came to visit with generous gifts.
The arrival of Xing Yu and his group didn't surprise the Li family, after all, the Li family had saved Xing Xiaolang's life back then, so the Xing and Li families had some history.
But the Li family found Chang Siyuan and the Ding brothers rather strange. The second brother looked at the third sister-in-law with a questioning gaze, his eyes full of: "Where did you get to know people from such a family?"
Li San Niang had no choice but to give Li Er Xiong a meaningful look, asking him to find a place for the villagers to settle down.
The number of people the Li family had initially estimated far exceeded the original list as the sun rose higher.
Even Wang Erlang, the biological father of Luzhu'er, and Wang Dalang of the Wang family, brought their wives and gifts to visit.
The two Guo brothers also arrived. Guo Sanlang looked at the endless stream of people coming and going from the Li family's side of the street with surprise in his eyes. Guo Sanlang's face was expressionless, while Guo Silang was more lively by nature. He turned to Guo Sanlang and said, "Brother, it seems that we underestimated the Li family before."
"I never imagined that this aunt of the Li family would one day be granted an official position. Being so far from Chang'an really makes it difficult to stay informed. We had no idea that this aunt of the Li family possessed such great abilities!"
