Lin Mengya crossed her legs and sat on a chair as she evaluated.
Of course, it was not that she disliked this place for being shabby.
After all, Sir Xunyang was just a guest. How could he be mentioned in the same breath as the Zheng family?
But when she saw that this so-called guest room only had a few more furnishings and decorations than the woodshed, she could only shake her head.
She hoped that the weathered frame bed at night would not collapse when the two of them squeezed together.
Long Tianhao did not think much of it. Just like any other place he had stayed in before, he first carefully checked to see if there was anything unusual.
Previously, Lin Mengya had used the System to search the room as soon as she entered, but her man was not the kind of person to let his guard down.
After confirming that there was nothing strange here, the two of them sat on a chair and whispered to each other.
They had entered the residence in the evening and had obediently waited in the guest room for a long time, but no one had come.
Lin Mengya rubbed her stomach. Since half an hour ago, her stomach had been singing an empty fort stratagem.
After drinking every drop of water in the room, she gradually felt as if she had been forgotten by the world.
"Don't they have dinner?"
Lin Mengya leaned on the table and asked weakly.
Long Tianhao really could not resist her deliberate coquettishness. He pulled her up and prepared to go out to eat something good.
"Someone's coming!"
After she reminded him in a low voice, she immediately sat upright on the chair, looking like an otherworldly expert.
Long Tianhao also stood behind her, his head lowered, like a large dog with a good temper.
"Excuse me, you two."
The person who had come was the steward who had brought them here.
This time, he carried a food box in his hand. Lin Mengya did not know what was in it, but with her sense of smell, she could only smell a hint of food.
After Long Tianhao opened the door, the steward immediately apologized.
"My apologies, there are too many things to do in the residence and we don't have enough manpower, so I forgot about you two. I have prepared some plain tea and plain food, I hope you two will not mind. "
When people said that it was plain tea and plain food, they were being modest.
But the one brought by this old man was definitely realistic.
From the food box, he carried out two plates of stir-fried vegetables without a speck of oil and two bowls of black rice.
Finally, he brought out a bowl of greasy soup that had no appetite at all.
"Take care of yourselves. I'll take my leave first."
If this kind of food was really difficult for the entire residence, she wouldn't have the slightest bit of disdain.
However, she clearly smelled the scent of braised pork on the steward.
"Ha, you're just treating us like beggars."
Staring at the man's back as he left, Lin Mengya curled her lips into a cold smile.
Long Tianhao did not even look at the food. Although he was not greedy for good food, it was obvious that he looked down on them. How could he eat it?
Initially, Lin Mengya did not want to cause trouble, but who knew that those people would be so shameless.
Since that was the case, why would she give him any leeway?
She stood up and tidied up her clothes. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go and have some fun with Grandpa."
Long Tianhao narrowed his eyes slightly, but his big hand fell on the back of her delicate neck in a very threatening manner.
"Sir, what kind of fun do you want?"
"Uh … no, no. Let's go out and have a look."
Only then did the man withdraw his hand in satisfaction. In her heart, Lin Mengya hugged her weak, helpless and rather hungry self with tears in her eyes.
When did she start to become so timid?
The steward's footsteps were quite fast. He carried the food box and walked to the kitchen with a relaxed expression.
At this moment, the fragrance of food wafted from inside.
Although the master of the residence was ill and could not even drink porridge, not to mention meat, this did not affect their cooking.
After all, in this place, whether it was the Bai family or others, they all had to be flattered.
Every day, all the good stuff would be sent in like water.
Some of the useful ones were naturally given to Master Xunyang.
As for those that could not be used, they were given to the people in the residence for cheap.
Especially since the day before yesterday, when the legendary divine doctor with magical medical skills arrived, they cooked even more meticulously every day, for fear of neglecting this distinguished guest.
As for those who were just there to make up the numbers, they just needed to make some casually. There was no need to pay attention to them.
Master Xunyang's courtyard could not be considered large. It was just a slightly better dwelling house.
It was a courtyard with two entrances. From their place, they could reach the main room in just a few steps.
With their abilities, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for them to find the dining room?
When they leisurely appeared in front of the crowd, the steward, who was busy serving the dishes, was the first to change his expression.
"Why have you two come?"
He came up to them, his expression somewhat unnatural.
After all, favoring one and discriminating against the other was not something that could be done too excessively.
Especially the two in front of him, who had been sent over by the Second Master of the Bai family.
If they made too much of a fuss, the Bai family would probably lose face.
Lin Mengya ignored him. Instead, she looked over his shoulder at the bustling dining room behind them.
"You're holding a banquet?"
"No, it's not. My master is ill, how can he entertain guests? It's, it's just a few of Master's students who are currently eating. "
"Oh — so that's how it is."
She purposely dragged out her last word, but her eyes casually glanced at the plates of delicacies.
The steward instantly felt embarrassed. He should have invited these two to enter with him, but he was afraid that their presence would make the divine doctor unhappy.
"Since that's the case, I have to go in and pay my respects. Otherwise, how am I supposed to act in the future?"
She changed the topic and was about to charge in.
The steward panicked and subconsciously reached out to push her.
However, his hands were pulled away by someone, and even he was forced to move out of the way.
Lin Mengya didn't even look at him and walked straight in.
The steward wanted to stop her, but when the bearded servant glared at him, his legs trembled in fear.
This man looked like he wanted to eat him!
After a moment's hesitation, the steward took a few quick steps and chased after her.
But by now, they had already entered.
Inside the dining room, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves to the fullest.
The sudden appearance of these two people caused everyone to stare blankly.
Then, on the main seat, a man who looked to be in his forties frowned slightly.
But a moment later, he regained his refined appearance.
"These two are —"
"These two are the guests invited by the Second Elder."
The steward immediately began to explain, omitting her identity as a doctor.
Lin Mengya wasn't willing to listen to him. She straightened her chest and said, "This one has come to treat Sir Xun Yang at Second Master Bai's request. May I ask if you are a relative of the patient?"
Hearing that she was a doctor, everyone's expressions changed.
The gaze that fell on her also changed from the initial scrutiny to a hint of mockery.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the person next to him before replying, "This one is Sir's first disciple, Xun Ziyang. On behalf of my teacher, I thank Second Master for his concern. I'm truly sorry for troubling you to come here in vain. Why don't the two of you sit down and have some food and wine? Tomorrow, I will return to Second Master Bai and send you back, so that I won't delay your business. "
They were asking her to leave just like that? These people really couldn't wait any longer.
Lin Mengya shook her head and glanced at the steward, who wished he could crawl into a hole in the ground.
"Our insipid stomachs really can't handle such greasy things. It was the steward of your residence who was thoughtful and prepared some especially light food for us. I advise everyone to follow me and carefully eat, so that your stomachs won't be unwell and you'll be harmed. "
These words made Xun Ziyang take another look at the steward.
But in his heart, he felt that it was probably because his subordinates were too obvious that this doctor was somewhat dissatisfied.
But he also blamed these two for being too tactless. If they wanted to eat something good, they could have gone to the kitchen and asked for it themselves.
Arguing over food was not afraid of losing face.
Immediately, he started to look down on these two people.
"This matter is the fault of the servants in the residence. Since you feel that we've treated you unfairly, why don't you eat more? Take it as my apology to you. "
The surrounding people had already begun to whisper to each other.
But they were all saying that they hadn't seen much and were short-sighted.
They didn't know who was the frog at the bottom of the well.
These people probably hadn't even heard of the food she had eaten in her life.
"That's not necessary. As a doctor, the most important thing is to take care of oneself. Fish, meat, and wine should be eaten with caution. Grains, vegetables, fruits, eggs, and milk were the things that should be eaten more. If we pay too much attention to these appetites, I'm afraid some diseases will develop. "
When she said this, the old man sitting next to Xun Ziyang looked a little gloomy.
There was already an empty pot in his hand.
And he had also used up a lot of the meat.
After rolling his eyes, he said calmly, "For ordinary people, this should be the case. After all, not everyone can enjoy these things. "
Immediately, everyone looked at her with sarcasm.
Ordinary people, haha!
Lin Mengya first nodded as if she agreed with what the old man said, and then sighed faintly.
"Indeed, for example, people like you who suffer from diabetes should not eat it. Looking at your face, I'm afraid that your diabetes is very serious. I'm a little curious, what prescription did you use to stabilize your condition with such a diet? "
There was a little guilt in the old man's eyes.
He put down the wine cup uncomfortably, gritted his teeth, and said, "Of course, I can't casually reveal this prescription. Why, don't you even know this rule? "
"Of course I know this, but I still have a word of advice for you. If you think that it's no harm to be prepared just because you have a good prescription, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Diseases are to be treated, but more importantly, nurtured. Most of the prescriptions that have a quick effect are fierce medicines. Given your physical condition, I'm afraid this medicine won't last long. "
