Qin Hanzhen returned to the main courtyard to see how the luggage and subordinates brought back by Qin An and his wife from Datong, and after entering the door, he found that Qin Taisheng was standing in the courtyard waiting for the transmission. However, he is as capable as ever, under his arrangement, the luggage has been sent to the place where it should be sent, and the gifts prepared for Qin Bai, Niu's and Qin Ping, and Qin Hanzhen have been unloaded and placed separately, as for the gifts for the long room and the second room, there is also a place to go, and the people are arranged to rest, only a few stewards and big girls are waiting in the courtyard with Qin Taisheng, and they can accept the summons of the master of the Yongjiahou Mansion at any time.

Qin Hanzhen stepped forward to say hello to Qin Taisheng.

Compared with the last time they met, Qin Taisheng's appearance has matured a lot, he has a mustache, and his clothes are much more luxurious. He is now not only a butler from a five-rank military attaché, but also the steward of the Yongjiahou Mansion, and his status is naturally not the same as in the past. In addition to maintaining the humility of his subordinates in front of Qin Hanzhen and other Qin family masters, in front of outsiders, his waist was much straighter. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that his figure is slightly fatter than many years ago, but this also increases his momentum in disguise, making him look more like a decent steward.

Qin Taisheng still smiled in front of Qin Hanzhen: "The third girl is good." I haven't seen her for a few years, but the third girl has grown a lot taller, and she is already a big girl, and she is becoming more and more beautiful. I stayed in Datong for a few years, and I felt that there was no girl in Datong who could match the three girls. Presumably, the three girls are in the capital, and they are also among the best ladies. ”

This is a little exaggerated, but Qin Taisheng is his own family, and this is somewhat funny. Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Taisheng for your compliment, but this is really too exaggerated." I don't have a big reputation in the capital, and there must be many good girls in Datong who are both talented and beautiful but don't like to be famous. ”

She glanced at the main room, where the doors were closed, and said, "Grandmother, who is she talking to in the house?" This gesture seems to be about a very important and confidential matter that cannot be known to outsiders. ”

Qin Taisheng paused: "Confidentiality is not counted, Madame must be asking about Mama Lu's condition and the fifth grandmother's pregnancy." The fifth grandmother had a tire gas on the way to Beijing, and now she is not in good health. Madame was worried about her, too. ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked, "Didn't you invite the imperial doctor?"

"Not here yet. However, Mrs. invited another doctor who lived in the back street, and he had just gone to check the pulse of the fifth grandmother, saying that he had mistakenly taken something that should not be eaten, and the fifth grandmother was not resting well because of the fatigue of the journey, and the fetus was a little unstable. Fortunately, the fifth grandmother has always been in good health, and she didn't eat much that shouldn't have eaten, and she asked a doctor for treatment in time afterwards, so there is no major problem for the time being, but she needs to recuperate. Qin Taisheng replied, "However, after this incident, the fifth grandmother's stomach can no longer have problems." ”

Qin Hanzhen frowned: "Okay, how could the fifth aunt eat something that shouldn't be eaten? The maid waiting next to her didn't check it beforehand? And what about Mama Lu? Mama Lu has been sick for a long time before, but I just saw that her complexion is fine, but she has lost a lot of weight, she should have recovered from her illness, right?"

Qin Taisheng nodded: "Mama Lu's illness has been cured after a year, but in the end, it has hurt her vitality, and she is not as energetic as before." She always wanted to serve by the fifth grandmother's side, but the fifth grandmother couldn't bear to let her suffer, and often let her go down to rest. The fifth grandmother ate the wrong thing, and it was sent when Mama Lu was away. At that time, no one paid attention to it, but the fifth grandmother felt that the taste was wrong when she ate it, so she found out. ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Qin Taisheng replied: "It's longan." ”

Longan can nourish qi and blood, benefit the heart and spleen, and is a common tonic. But it is warm and sweet, and it is easy to make people angry when eaten, which is harmful to pregnant women. After pregnant women take longan, they often increase fetal heat, cause stomach qi to be reversed, easy to vomit, and hurt yin over time, which may cause abdominal pain, redness, and even lead to miscarriage or premature birth.

Qin Hanzhen remembered that she seemed to have heard Xiao Feng mention that she felt unwell on the road, and she vomited, and she lost her appetite. At the time, I thought it was motion sickness, but now that I think about it, it is estimated that it is because I took longan.

But Xiao Feng has been pregnant for several months, and she and the people around her should know what to eat and what not to eat. Although longan is a common tonic, it is not a common food, even if Xiao Feng eats outside food on the road, he should not bump into this forbidden food.

Qin Hanzhen asked Qin Taisheng: "How did the fifth aunt eat longan?"

Qin Taisheng pursed his lips: "The affairs of the inner courtyard have always been in the hands of the fifth grandmother and Grandma Lu, since the fifth grandmother entered the door, I have not interfered in the internal affairs anymore, and I only concentrate on taking care of the affairs outside the fifth master." How did the fifth grandmother eat longan, no one told me the details. From what I asked, it seems to be...... The inn where I rested that day received the order of our companions, saying that they would prepare a tonic for the fifth grandmother. The cook in the inn didn't know much about what pregnant women were taboo, and thought that it was not good to send one alone, so he simply sent them all, and gave a few ladies and grandmothers a courtesy, so he stewed a few servings of astragalus chicken soup according to his usual habits, and put longan in it, and sent it to each room. The fifth grandmother was also very tired at the time, so she didn't pay attention to it for a while, and drank a small half before she realized that something was wrong, but the soup had already entered her stomach. Fortunately, the place where you settled is a very big town, and there are good doctors in the town. Since then, the diet of the five grandmothers along the way has never been touched by outsiders, and it is all prepared by our own subordinates. ”

Qin Hanzhen sounded strange: "That's an inn, even if it's a catering, since someone orders food, didn't the person who ordered the food make it clear in advance what kind of dishes he wanted to make?

Qin Taisheng shook his head: "The cook doesn't know who ordered the dishes with him, and he also listened to the guy who ran errands." The guy said that it was a military master in soft armor, presumably someone under the command of some general. General Ma, who was traveling with them, said to be the bosses of the fifth master, really sent someone to investigate, for fear that it would make them unhappy. Besides, there are people in the military who are careless, and if they are not doctors, how can men know what to avoid when pregnant women? It is not good to inquire about our family in advance. Speaking of which, this is also the kindness of several adults, and the fifth grandmother persuaded the fifth master, saying that it is no big problem anyway, and it is better not to publicize it. In case it is found out, everything is a misunderstanding, which will embarrass the fifth master. Although he was transferred to Beijing this time, the fifth master and several generals will still work together in the future, and the boss is still the boss, and when he arrives in a new place, he should be twisted into a rope, and he doesn't have to make everyone unhappy for a trivial matter. ”

Xiao Feng's idea is good, and she is also thinking about Qin An. It's just that Qin Hanzhen always feels that this matter is not so simple.

She said to Qin Taisheng: "Even if you don't want to ask if someone wants to assassinate the fifth aunt, you have to find out who gave the order to the inn kitchen." Even if it's to repay favors in the future, it shouldn't be fooled around like this. ”

Qin Taisheng said with a smile: "The fifth grandmother is afraid of trouble, so she won't let her investigate deeply." But I also thought about it, if someone adds food to everyone every day along the way, then it will be our fifth master's turn in the morning and evening. Even if it was to repay the favor, I had to find out which one invited the guest, so I asked someone privately. It's a pity that the cook couldn't say clearly, but the guy who passed the message thought that it was made by someone from our family, because if it weren't for our family, how could he say that he wanted to make a tonic soup for the fifth grandmother? ”

This is all the more suspicious.

Qin Hanzhen whispered to Qin Taisheng: "Uncle Taisheng should inquire more, and always find out who the person who placed the order at that time was." If it is really someone under the fifth uncle, then there may be someone else behind him. ”

Qin Taisheng nodded: "Don't worry, three girls, I'll pay attention to it." ”

Qin Taisheng is still quite reliable. Qin Hanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and asked him again, "How was that Juan'er before?" She remembered that this girl had always wanted to marry Qin Taisheng.

Qin Taisheng replied calmly: "The fifth grandmother married Juan'er before leaving. Juan'er cried and said that she would wait for the fifth grandmother for the rest of her life, but the fifth grandmother still didn't agree, saying that she couldn't delay her life. That family is also a solid farmer in Datong, and life is still passable. The fifth grandmother specially prepared a dowry for Juan'er, presumably she will have a good life in the future. ”

Xiao Feng's friendship between master and servant for many years can be regarded as a whole, but she is really a kind person, and she is so thoughtful to the girls who betray the master.

Qin Hanzhen pursed her lips, feeling that Qin Hanzhu was really blessed to meet such a mother-in-law. She is a girl, she doesn't have to think about it so much, she grows up carefree, and when she is old, Xiao Feng will also arrange a good family affair for her and marry her off.

But on Brother Zi'er's side, the situation may be more complicated.

Qin Hanzhen sighed secretly, and asked Qin Taisheng again: "Jinhuan has been honest in the past few years, I have heard some rumors, and I am always worried that she will be suffocated." ”

Qin Taisheng said: "She has been quite honest in the past few years, but I don't know how she is in private." "After all, he is already a foreign manager, and Jinhuan is Qin An's concubine, he needs to avoid suspicion. What he knows are some rumors in the world, but he can give Qin Hanzhen some reference: "Aunt Jin is now the biological mother of the six girls on the family tree, and Su Ri is also careful to take care of the six girls." It's just that in the past few years, the fifth grandmother has personally raised the sixth girl, and the sixth girl has become closer and closer to the fifth grandmother, and Aunt Jin is a little unhappy in her heart, and often says that the fifth grandmother is not in front of the sixth girl. Fortunately, although the sixth girl is young, she understands in her heart that she has never alienated the fifth grandmother because of her slander. ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed, thinking that she knew that this golden ring would not be honest. But what is Jinhuan's purpose in doing this? Qin Hanzhu was not really born by her, she is an adoptive mother as a biological mother, what daughter does she rob her of her mother-in-law? Do you want to be so sincere?

Qin Hanzhen was vomiting in his heart, when he heard an angry shout from the Niu clan in the room: "What if there is no evidence?!She is a concubine, what evidence do I need to treat her?!"
