Chapter 220 Lock the main gate and close the door.
"Dr. Lu, I trusted you so much, and you actually...you actually..."
"No, no, let me explain!"
Lu Qingqing has really lost face this time!
She seriously suspected that she was in heat!
Excessive estrogen secretion.
"I, I, I just... I'm craving meat! I dreamt about a big pork knuckle, and I was gnawing on it!"
Yes, it's eating pork knuckle!
It wasn't what he thought!
But Mu Daye's expression did not improve at all.
It looks even worse!
"You still say you don't have sleepwalking? This is sleepwalking!"
ah?
Sleepwalking?
He was actually talking about sleepwalking!
Lu Qingqing wiped her forehead. Good heavens, she was almost scared to death.
"Sis, you're biting into two at once, and you're even taking turns biting into them." Qiaoxiu pouted, a little unhappy.
"You ate more of Sister Liu'er, so you're saying she tastes better than me?"
Why are you even arguing about this?!
Mu Daye looked at Qiaoxiu as if she were a fool again.
Lu Qingqing weakly defended herself: "I just haven't been sleeping well lately, and I was sleepwalking a little bit. It definitely won't happen tomorrow."
How could Mu Daye be at ease? He felt heartbroken looking at the red marks on Liu'er's neck.
Dr. Lu is really something. There were clearly two, so why did he only eat one?
Moreover, I've heard that sleepwalking is terrifying; if someone has a knife, they might chop someone's head off like a watermelon.
No, he has to take Liu'er home!
"Dr. Lu, I know you're very busy every day. How about this, my mother misses Liu'er too. I'll take her back to stay for a couple of days, and then send her back after you've rested."
"Okay, okay, okay." Lu Qingqing nodded hurriedly.
"Don't forget to take one calming pill every day."
But when it came time to leave, Liu'er couldn't bear to part with it.
In the end, Lu Qingqing coaxed her to leave.
After seeing the two off, Lu Feng immediately went to buy a large pork knuckle.
"No need, brother. I'm full from my dream. I really don't want to eat anymore. I'm going to sleep. Call me when someone comes to see a doctor."
Lu Qingqing lowered her head, slumped her shoulders, waved, and went back into the house.
Feng Xiaowan pulled Lu Feng into the house as well.
"Brother Feng, I definitely didn't dream about braised pork knuckle. I bet it was Young Master Xu who I dreamed about?"
Lu Feng was stunned.
I was immediately shocked.
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll ruin my reputation."
"Hey, it's just the two of us here, what are we afraid of?" Feng Xiaowan was no longer the timid and submissive woman she used to be.
She pulled Lu Feng aside and analyzed, "You said my little sister has been in a bad mood lately. Is it because she feels that Young Master Xu won't come to visit, and she doesn't want to get married, so she's worried?"
"Well, I'm not home often, so I don't know. Do you think my younger sister likes Young Master Xu?"
Lu Feng thought Feng Xiaowan was very smart now, after all, she had started doing business, and sometimes what she said was very reasonable and logical.
However, Feng Xiaowan was no longer sure.
After all, apart from acting strangely these past few days, Lu Qingqing hadn't shown anything particularly unusual.
But her desire to eat a large pork knuckle is absolutely untrue!
Because Aunt Cuihua bought pork from the city a couple of days ago, and she made braised pork, my little sister didn't eat many pieces!
Just as Feng Xiaowan was thinking of trying to get some information out of Lu Qingqing, someone from her family arrived.
It turned out to be Jiang, the matchmaker, whom we hadn't visited in a long time.
Everyone knows that the younger sister wants to buy a husband and won't get married. When the matchmaker Jiang left before, she even sneered at people. Why is she back now?
Feng Xiaowan dashed out.
"What are you doing here again? You can go tell other people about those good men and women you've been talking about, we don't need them!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be angry, Madam Feng. This time I won't be a matchmaker; I'm selling people!"
"Oh, it's been a few days, and Jiang the matchmaker has become Jiang the go-between."
"Hey, hey, in our line of work, it's all the same thing, just trying to make a living!" Matchmaker Jiang said with a forced smile.
Thinking to myself, "I haven't seen her for a few days, why is Mrs. Feng so temperamental?"
So he laughed even harder, revealing a set of uneven teeth.
"I just got the news that my old friends in the city have brought a group of people from the north. They are all young and strong men and beautiful young women. Isn't your aunt looking to buy a husband?"
Should we go take a look? We need to hurry, or we won't be able to find anything good.
"Buy people?" Lu Feng also came out.
Feng Xiaowan's interest was piqued as well.
Question: "How much silver do the best-looking and strongest ones cost?"
"Not much, just thirty taels."
Thirty taels? How good can that be? The best ones cost a hundred taels!
The couple was not very satisfied.
Upon seeing this, the matchmaker quickly said, "There are still women here. Why don't you pick one for your second son? She's an absolutely pure and innocent good girl."
"No need, my second brother doesn't need to buy a wife."
The two lost interest, and the matchmaker, Jiang, was getting anxious. Just as she was about to unleash her silver tongue, she saw Lu Qingqing approaching.
How many people does the matchmaker have?
Matchmaker Jiang's eyes lit up, "There are over twenty of them! All those men are strong and sturdy, you could use them like oxen..."
"Who are these people? Why are perfectly normal people being bought and sold so casually?"
"Don't worry, Miss Lu. We are a legitimate brokerage firm with a clear track record. We don't know exactly where the old woman came from. You can check their indentures later."
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
If they are good, she will pick a few to work in the workshop.
Feng Xiaowan and Lu Feng both opened their mouths.
"Little sister, I'll go with you!" Lu Feng quickly said.
"No, we have to call Dad too."
"No need, brother, you go ahead with your work. Sixi and I will go. We're just looking to see if there are any suitable farmhands, not to buy a husband!" Lu Qingqing explained.
Then she went back to her room to change her clothes, slung her bag over her shoulder, called out to Sixi, hitched up the carriage, and went to the city with the ever-smiling matchmaker Jiang.
"Brother Feng, my little sister has a pimple on her nose."
Lu Feng asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with having pimples?"
Having a renowned doctor in her family, Feng Xiaowan learned a great deal from him.
She asserted, "Pimples on the sides of the nose indicate excessive liver fire and an imbalance of yin and yang. Little sister, you've awakened your romantic side. You must have dreamt of Young Master Xu tonight. Something just didn't go right after you came back from the mountain."
Lu Feng thought about it and realized it made sense.
He said he was just an ordinary citizen, and that Young Master Xu was being too polite to him, even finding him a master to teach him mechanical arts.
He had always felt uneasy, and now he finally knew why.
It turns out he benefited from his younger sister's fame.
Does this mean they like each other?
Why is my little sister in a bad mood?
Feng Xiaowan then analyzed, "Is it because my younger sister doesn't want to get married, and Mr. Xu is unlikely to marry into her family, so she's annoyed?"
That makes sense, absolutely makes sense.
The two of them pondered this for a long time.
Lu Feng looked up at the sky and said, "Master should be at the shop by now. I'll be going now."
"Then I'll go to the workshop too."
After they finished speaking, neither of them moved.
"Is no one home?" Lu Feng asked again.
Feng Xiaowan blushed slightly. "My mother took Xibao away, and Qiaoxiu went to the workshop too."
Needless to say, Old Man Lu and Lu Yun practically lived in the workshop.
Now even Lu Congcong has gone to the city.
Apart from the two of them, there wasn't a single living creature left in the house.
Lu Feng then locked the gate.
The door was closed.
Soon, low conversations and the rustling of fabric could be heard from inside the room.
“I don’t dare to do anything reckless since there are strangers staying at home. You’re busy all day and fall asleep very quickly at night. I’m about to get pimples on my nose.”
"But you're always thinking about your office, and sometimes you don't even hear me when I call you."
