Chapter 706: Go and Return
Of course, Qin Jian didn't delay long when he drank this sip of tea. After he finished drinking, he put down the tea bowl and replied to Qin Hanzhen: "After my grandfather was buried, my mother fell ill. At that time, I also asked the doctor, but the doctor couldn't diagnose what symptoms she had, but she might be tired. Later, he changed to a doctor, who also said the same thing, and even suspected that his mother was pretending to be sick. But my mother just felt that she had no strength in her body, and as soon as she stood up, she was dizzy and couldn't go out at all. She didn't have a reason to pretend to be sick, did she? I don't know if the doctor was incompetent and couldn't diagnose the reason, so she wronged people like this!"
Qin Jian looked quite angry, and Yu Xinlan added with a smile on the side: "At that time, he unceremoniously invited the imperial doctor out and complained at home, saying that those snobs looked down on people when they saw that their family was now in the filial piety period, as if they were a little down." I told him that even if some people would look down on our family in a snobbish manner, it would not be the turn of a little imperial doctor to give us a look at the face, and most likely the imperial doctor really didn't know what kind of illness my mother had, right? Nowadays, not everyone in the imperial hospital is extremely skilled, and some imperial doctors are not incompetent, but they are just timid and afraid, and they may not dare to tell the truth and dare to take heavy medicine. There are even some misbehaving physicians, because they are afraid of the power of the patient's family, deliberately follow the wishes of the patient's family, fabricate the cause of the disease, and prescribe medicine indiscriminately. The two imperial doctors invited by our family just couldn't diagnose the symptoms, so they didn't talk nonsense. He just gave up, but after that, he refused to invite the doctor to come to the door again, saying that the people in the hospital couldn't believe it, and he was not as reliable as the doctor outside. ”
Qin Han really listened to it funny. Qin Jian is the eldest of their generation of brothers and sisters, and in recent years, he has become more and more a typical representative of being smart, sensible and stable in the eyes of his elders.
Qin Jian coughed twice uncomfortably, and continued with a straight face: "Later, I hired an old doctor for my mother who was quite famous in Beijing. He said that his mother was sick from hard work, and she was so tired from two funerals in a row that she had brought out the root of her old illness, and she needed to live and recuperate for a few years before she could really improve. My mother took the doctor's medicine, and she did feel better, but she still didn't have much strength, and I was afraid that she would have to raise it for a few years before it could really get results. I thought, even if I change doctors, I'm afraid it will be the same. Hengzhu's mother has worked hard for so many years, and she should have taken a good rest, so be it. Xinlan and I can handle the affairs of the family, so we don't have to work on our parents. ”
Qin Hanzhen nodded and said, "Since the medicine prescribed by this doctor is good for the second aunt to eat, then take it first." The family continues to inquire about reliable good doctors, and if there is a need for it, someone will be on top at any time. The affairs in this house, depending on the two of you, are enough to deal with, but you should also pay attention to taking care of your body and don't tire yourself. Since the second aunt's illness is caused by overwork, you have to learn a lesson. Now I don't take care of my body, and when I get older, I can't bear it. Needless to say, sister-in-law, she is only three months pregnant, and she has not yet reached the point where she can take it lightly, so she needs to be careful to raise the fetus. And you are also ...... in the lobby."
Qin Hanzhen turned to Qin Jian: "I see how you look now, you are thinner than when your uncle and grandfather just died, even your chin is pointed, and you have dark circles under your eyes." Don't tell me, it's not exhausting. You all know that if you want to persuade your sister-in-law to take care of your health, shouldn't you also pay attention to yourself?"
Yu Xinlan nodded very seriously, and looked at Qin Jian with her eyes, which made people unbearable.
Qin Jian couldn't help but bow his head: "It was me who was wrong." I always felt that my grandfather and grandmother had passed away, and my father was suffering from bereavement, and I needed to do more as a son to share his worries. If you are not careful, you will neglect your body. But I don't have much to do now, and I'll be back in recuperation. You don't have to worry. If there is anything I don't pay attention to, you can remind me as many times as you want. ”
Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo both said: "We will definitely remind you!" Yu Xinlan took Qin Jian's hand, and did not speak, but the meaning was clearly expressed.
Qin Jian looked at his wife with a smile, and looked at Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo, and only felt warm in his heart.
Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo came to congratulate Qin Jian on his birthday, the whole process was very low-key, they gave a birthday gift, and accompanied them to eat tea and snacks, and they were ready to get up and say goodbye. At this time, it was already past noon, Yu Xinlan now developed the habit of taking a nap at noon every day, Qin Jian sent his wife into the bedroom to settle down, and then came out to see off the guests.
On the way out of Fuguiju, Qin Hanzhen asked Qin Jian casually: "Is there any news from the Tongfang who escaped?"
Qin Jian said: "Someone heard a news yesterday, saying that an unknown female corpse was found under a cliff somewhere in Huairou County, and some antique jewelry was scattered next to her, which looked like she met a robber on the road and was forced to fall to the bottom of the cliff and die." It sounds like an escaped red incense, and I've sent someone to identify the body. If it's her, bring the lost item back. For the death of my grandfather, Hongxiang was at fault and took her life, and I have no intention of pursuing her family and friends. But if that corpse wasn't her, I'd have to keep people looking for it. Among the things she stole were the ancestral things of our Qin family, and they definitely couldn't just fall into Xiao Xiao's hands. ”
Qin Hanzhen nodded and sighed, "Actually, what did she flee from? Our Qin family is not an extremely vicious person. If she is honest and reports the matter to the stewards of the house after the accident, and asks the stewards to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, then no matter whether the uncle and grandfather can be saved or not, she does not need to pay for her life. Who doesn't know that the eldest uncle and grandfather are ridiculous people? Several concubines have sex with each other, but they are just doing what they like, and no one forces him to take medicine...... Play. She used a slightly more euphemistic statement to describe Qin Song's deathbed behavior.
Qin Jian tugged at the corners of her mouth: "But she just fled, not only escaped, but also rolled up her belongings, it's really ...... It's so bold!"
He didn't seem to want to continue discussing this topic, so Qin Hanzhen didn't say much. At this time, they had already walked to the front yard of the Chengenhou Mansion, and on the side of the carriage and horse shed, they had already pulled out the carriage of the Suhe County Palace, in case Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo and his wife could get on the car at any time.
Qin Hanzhen said goodbye to Qin Jian and got into the car by himself. Zhao Mo then followed. The carriage left the mansion gate, and entered the Yongjiahou Mansion without walking a few steps, and they got off in front of the second gate again.
Qin Hanzhen complained: "If it weren't for the fact that today's Chengenhou Mansion and his party need to be carried out in front of outsiders, lest outsiders think that we don't have dealings with Brother Lobby, I really don't want to bother so much." You can get there by walking a few steps from the back door of the courtyard, but now you have to take a carriage and get off the carriage. ”
Zhao Mo smiled: "It's just a show." In ten days, once or twice this toss was over. On weekdays, you can walk however you like. Speaking of this, he paused, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask Brother Jian something. Although it is not his turn to sit in the position of the county magistrate of Gaoyang County now, if he has a familiar and reliable willingness of the same year, he is better than someone who does not know the roots outside. I avoided a problem, and he could take advantage of the opportunity to fall into a big favor, so why not?"
Qin Hanzhen heard this and said, "Then you go back and ask him." This matter has to be decided as soon as possible, so don't delay it any longer. ”
Zhao Mo responded, and sent her into the second gate with a smile: "I walked by myself through the back door of the garden and came back in a while." You go and confess to the elders for me first, and say that I want to talk to Brother Jian about some outside matters, and I will come over soon. ”
Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "Go, go, go, you come here almost every day, which elder still cares about your absence for a short time?"
Zhao Mo said goodbye to his wife with a smile and turned around and went to the garden. He didn't even bring Ah Shou and Ah Xing, and he went there alone.
Qin Jian had already returned to the small study in the front yard of Fuguiju, intending to close his eyes and recuperate for a while, but when he saw Zhao Mo going and returning, he was still a little surprised: "What's wrong? Could it be that something was left behind? Why don't you send someone to pick it up?"
Zhao Mo glanced at the small study: "Let the others go down, I have something serious to ask you." ”
Qin Jian was surprised, but he still did so, and led Zhao Mo to the compartment inside the study, which was relatively more secluded and a good place to talk.
He asked Zhao Mo: "What's wrong? Could it be that there are rumors outside that are unfavorable to our family?"
Zhao Mo shook his head and said, "Why do you think that there are rumors outside that are unfavorable to the Chengenhou Mansion?"
Qin Jian couldn't help but suffocate, and then smiled: "If it weren't for that, why did you come to talk to me so solemnly?
Zhao Mo said lightly: "I came to you, not for anything else, just when I asked about your mother's illness and the matter of the red incense, you looked uncomfortable, you were obviously coaxing her." What is the truth? Why are you lying to Hanzhen?"
Qin Jian's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned his head: "What are you talking nonsense? Okay, what am I going to do to coax the third sister? Are you too careful, right? The third sister didn't suspect me." ”
Zhao Mo sneered: "Han Zhen believes in you, I won't suspect you, but I have known you for many years, and I still don't know your character? You are lying at all! What is going on? Han Zhen is a character, you are clear, but you even hide it from her, it will never be a trivial matter, right?"
Qin Jian wanted to argue again, but Zhao Mo preemptively said, "You can try to coax me." But if I really want to check on you, I have people under me, and I can mobilize people from the Imperial City's secret spy department. But if it really gets to that point, I can't guarantee that the news won't leak out!"
Qin Jian was stunned, and then became a little annoyed: "Do you need to talk about this?!"
Zhao Mo snorted: "It also depends on what is going on." At the beginning, it was Hanzhen who felt that the situation of his grandfather's death was suspicious, so he told you of his doubts. Although you have later dispelled her doubts, if it is necessary to continue to coax her, it must be that the truth cannot be told to anyone, and even she must hide it. Since you can do this job, I'm afraid that the truth will be very unbearable and will implicate your whole family. I need to be careful, are you hiding it well enough? Don't let it leak one day and implicate the Yongjiahou Mansion and our family!"
Qin Jian was speechless for a moment.
