Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

The young monk led Xiao Bingyan and the others to the dining hall. Except for a few ladies he had met in the corner pavilion before, all the others were unfamiliar faces. The people in the main hall, who were originally talking and laughing, became silent the moment they saw Xiao Bingyan appear, and turned around to look at her carefully.

Not many people here know Xiao Bingyan. They feel that although this little girl is not wearing exquisite clothes, the quality is excellent, and her demeanor is very calm and her appearance is perfect. She does not look like the daughter of an ordinary family. So which one is she?

"Ms. Wei." Mrs. Liu, who had met Xiao Bingyan, stood up and waved at her.

Xiao Bingyan didn't know which one was Mrs. Li. Seeing Mrs. Liu waving at her vigorously, she smiled gently and walked towards Mrs. Liu, "Mrs. Liu."

"Why can't I see your mother? Are you alone?" Mrs. Liu took Xiao Bingyan's hand and sat her next to her. She asked with a smile and turned to introduce others, "This is the daughter of the Wei family in the capital. She has just arrived in Jinyun City not long ago. I think no one has seen her."

"Is it the Wei family of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?" Someone asked softly, glancing at Xiao Bingyan.

"How many people dare to call themselves the Wei family in Beijing?" Mrs. Liu asked with a faint smile.

Everyone suddenly came to their senses and looked at Xiao Bingyan with a different look than before.

The Wei family in the capital was one of the four great families in the Tang Dynasty and a natural aristocratic family. Mrs. Liu was so flattering to this Miss Wei that she must be from the legitimate branch. In this case, the identity of this Miss Wei was extraordinary.

Xiao Bingyan didn't seem to notice the unusual looks from others. She smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "I came here today to pray for my mother. I didn't want to listen to others talking about the arrangements for the Good Deeds Day. My mother and I don't know much about Jinyun City, but such a benevolent act is very popular. I also want to do my part."

Her words were spoken with such sincerity and politeness, without any trace of femininity or arrogance. She really wanted to help, but as for her purpose, only she knew it.

"Very good, more people make more fire." Mrs. Liu said straightforwardly, turning around and saying to another lady beside her who was wearing a zither-collared top with scattered flowers, "Mrs. Li, what do you think?"

Xiao Bingyan's eyes turned towards Mrs. Liu almost the moment she opened her mouth. She was a woman in her thirties, with fair and smooth skin, slightly heroic eyebrows and eyes, neatly trimmed sideburns, and a smile on her face. The look she gave Xiao Bingyan was very friendly and not intimidating at all, and she didn't look like someone who was difficult to get along with.

"Of course I welcome you very warmly. We are very happy that Miss Wei can lend a helping hand." Mrs. Li looked at Xiao Bingyan with a smile.

This Mrs. Li looks familiar. Where have you seen her before?

Xiao Bingyan thought to herself that if her memory was correct, she had never seen Mrs. Li in her previous life. That... ah! It was the last time she came out of the ancient corner pavilion with her mother in the temple that she met this lady.

For a long time, no leader had been appointed for the preparation of such a day of accumulating virtue, but everyone had a tacit understanding and all were led by Mrs. Li, while Mrs. Liu was very versatile and was responsible for all external arrangements.

"This is the Marquis's wife, Miss Wei. We are very happy to have your help." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.

Xiao Bingyan turned over and half-saluted Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Li."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Miss Wei, please don't be too polite. I'm a straightforward person and I can't stand these rules. Since we are going to work together, we shouldn't be too fussy about the details and just say what needs to be said."

He is a straightforward and generous person, and Xiao Bingyan admires him in her heart.

"Mrs. Li is a very decisive person. If there's anything I can help with, just ask." Xiao Bingyan looked directly at Mrs. Li, her eyes sincere and clear.

To see whether a person is worth getting along with, vision is crucial, so she needs to appear sincere.

She could see that although Mrs. Li looked very friendly and warm, she seemed to have a faint and strong resistance to others and it was not easy to make friends with her.

"Relax a hundred and twenty times. I will definitely not be too polite." Mrs. Li said with a bright smile, "Okay, everyone, use chopsticks. Today's meal was prepared for everyone with the sincere instructions of the host. Eating this delicious vegetarian food can ensure safety. Everyone, please don't be polite."

There were dozens of ladies in the dining hall, not counting the maids serving on the side. Many of them wanted to come over and make friends with Xiao Bingyan, but they were too embarrassed to come forward before Madam Li opened her mouth and spoke a few words, so they all ate with chopsticks.

After eating the vegetarian meal, Xiao Bingyan did not leave immediately, but found a conversation with Mrs. Li.

During this period, many people came to say hello to them, and some even asked Xiao Bingyan specifically whether she recognized her relatives. Xiao Bingyan responded calmly, but her behavior became increasingly distant. These ladies could not find any topics to talk about, so they left in embarrassment.

Mrs. Li also glanced at Xiao Bingyan, and thought of the time when she heard her words in the side room. She had a particularly good impression of such a young girl. In this era, it was rare to have such insights and opinions.

Moreover, seeing that Xiao Bingyan's behavior is very graceful and decent, we can be sure that she has very good family education.

She had also seen many daughters of wealthy families, but it was very rare to find one as calm and steady as Xiao Bingyan.

Mrs. Liu had been accompanying Xiao Bingyan and the others to talk, but a maid came up and said something to her, so she immediately left with Mrs. Li and Xiao Bingyan, saying that she had something to do and had to go home first.

Mrs. Li said to Xiao Bingyan, "Everyone is busy, but we two are the least busy. Why don't we go for a walk around the area?"

Xiao Bingyan wished she could have such an opportunity and nodded immediately, "Very good, I haven't really appreciated the beauty of Ping'an Mountain yet."

"Let's go." Mrs. Li looked at her, took Xiao Bingyan's wrist and walked out.

They walked slowly along the winding mountain path of the temple, with Anxiang and Mrs. Li's maid following closely behind them.

Xiao Bingyan had been looking for an opportunity to ask Mrs. Li to take good care of her mother, but she didn't know how to start. She was afraid that Mrs. Li would misunderstand that everything she did today was for this purpose, which would make her seem insincere.

"Ms. Wei." Mrs. Li suddenly turned around and looked at her, her eyes seemed to be able to read her thoughts, "Do you have anything else to tell me today?"

The Wei family mother and daughter that she had seen before were not the ones who would easily make friends with others. But today they took the initiative to talk to her, so it seemed that there was no smoke without fire.

Hmm? Xiao Bingyan was slightly startled, with an unnatural expression, "Mrs. Li... I originally wanted to come to your house in person at another time. My mother is ill and the doctors say that medicine can't save her. I heard from others that you, Mrs. Li, are very good at medicine, so, I want to ask you to examine and treat my mother. Mrs. Li, your kindness, Bingyan will never forget it in this life."

After he finished his story, he bowed deeply to Mrs. Li.

This time Mrs. Li was shocked. She thought Xiao Bingyan was looking for her for another matter, but she didn't expect it was because of this.

She smiled and quickly helped Xiao Bingyan up with both hands, "So that's it, Miss Wei, get up quickly."

"Mrs. Li." Xiao Bingyan looked at her expectantly, wondering whether she would nod in agreement.

Mrs. Li sighed and said with a smile, "The medical skills I studied are a little different. They rely on a needle. I can't guarantee it. Why don't I go to your mansion tomorrow to check on your mother? If I can cure her, I will do my best."

A doctor is like a caring person. She had learned the medical skills to carry on her master's last wish. How could she resolutely reject Xiao Bingyan's whispered plea?

Xiao Bingyan was overjoyed and a little excited, "Thank you so much, Madam."
