Imperial Physician Shen said to Qin Bai: "Master Hou, this time it's not me who picks bones in my eggs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLord Huang wants to take his own soldiers south, that's a matter of course. But when he arrived in Yangzhou, he brought one of his own clansmen with him, and he did not hesitate to delay a day in Yangzhou City for this reason. If you have the heart to bring a few clansmen, relatives, and friends with you in office, you can wait for him to arrive at the locality, finish his business, and then write a letter to get people over! How far can Yangzhou be from Jinling? It will take a few days to take a waterway. He can't even wait for the next few days?!"

Qin Bai also felt that Huang Jincheng's actions were a little inappropriate, but he had always had a gentle temperament, and he would never rashly blame others until he figured things out. He kindly persuaded Imperial Physician Shen: "Lord Shen, let's dissipate your anger, maybe Lord Huang has his thoughts, let's go over and ask him." ”

The two of them went to Huang Jincheng's boat together, Huang Jincheng had just freshened up and changed into a civilian robe, but his face was still tight, and he didn't look very good.

Qin Bai noticed that the Huang clan member who got on the boat didn't seem to be there.

Imperial Physician Shen had already argued with Huang Jincheng before, and now he was angry again, and he didn't care about his tone. He gave Huang Jincheng a salute, and he didn't even bother to say a word of greeting, so he asked: "Lord Huang, I heard that you brought a living person on the boat? Is this living person the reason why you would rather delay your trip and stay in Yangzhou for a day? Do you know what you are doing?"

Huang Jincheng's expression did not change, but it seemed to be a little colder: "I know what I am doing, don't worry about Doctor Shen." ”

Imperial Physician Shen couldn't listen to this kind of thing the most, he felt that the other party looked down on him at all. He is indeed just a imperial doctor, and he follows the ship south, treats Yongjiahou and his wife, and accompanies Yongjiahou to relieve his boredom, so that's it, and he still needs to take care of any serious business? The prince was already carrying a imperial doctor with him, and another famous doctor from Jiangning has returned, so where can he still be used? But Imperial Doctor Shen is not convinced! What is the matter with him being a imperial doctor? The emperor sent him out on this errand to prove that he is a courtier trusted and valued by the emperor! Before Huang Jincheng was unusually promoted to the fourth rank, he was just on an equal footing, and even because he was a civil servant, he was a little more decent than Huang Jincheng, a military attaché. Why does Huang Jincheng look down on people?!

He sneered and said to Huang Jincheng: "Lord Huang is amazing, they are all messengers who went out on errands on the orders of the emperor, you are a soldier or a relative of the emperor, you are naturally a little more noble than others, and you can do everything arbitrarily." Even if you have selfishness, others can't control you. What am I as an imperial doctor? You didn't even pay attention to Yongjiahou! I didn't want to worry about it, for fear that I would not be able to explain to the emperor if I didn't finish my errand. The emperor doesn't care who this heart, he will only do it with me. Could it be that Lord Huang can still say to the emperor at that time that it is all your own idea, and you don't need others to worry about it, and naturally you don't need others to pay for your life?!"

Huang Jincheng's expression finally changed. He frowned and looked at Imperial Physician Shen, as if he was a little impatient: "Imperial Physician Shen has misunderstood, please don't sow discord in front of Yongjiahou and stir up nonsense." ”

Imperial Physician Shen sneered twice: "Now I have become a sowing discord." Yes, you are reasonable!Everything is justified by you!" He turned his head to look at Qin Bai, and his tone softened, "Master Hou, have you seen it? Who is messing around?!"

Qin Bai also knew that he was angry now, but Huang Jincheng refused to admit it, which made him even more angry. At this time, if he adds fuel to the fire, the three of them may turn their faces before they see the prince. What's in it for the big picture?

Qin Bai suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked Huang Jincheng calmly: "Lord Huang, you decided to stay in Yangzhou and bring one more person on the ship after receiving a letter from Jinling. Is there a connection between the two? Does this guest of yours, the one in Jinling, know about it?"

Huang Jincheng was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I will report to him." After speaking, he quickly added, "As soon as I see him, I will report to him." ”

"Good. Qin Bai said neatly, "Since that's the case, I won't ask anymore." I believe that Lord Huang will not fail to live up to the trust of the Holy Lord. He bowed his head and turned to leave.

Imperial Physician Shen was stunned for a moment, stared blankly at his distant back, and then came back to look at Huang Jincheng, who was stunned for a while, before he stomped his feet angrily and said: "That's it, you big people don't care, which one of my little imperial doctors is idle?!" also went back to his cabin, but he was so angry that he didn't even want to eat dinner.

However, Qin Bai later ordered Uncle Hu to send him dinner, and went to appease: "Lord Shen, don't be angry. Since Lord Huang said it, he will inform His Highness, so it can be seen that this matter may not be just a private matter, maybe it is what His Highness told him to do. Lord Huang will hide from us, and he has his own reasons. It's a big deal that after we meet His Highness, I will mention it, that is. Lord Huang knew the seriousness of the matter, and if his people leaked the secrets, he would also deal with the aftermath. ”

Imperial Physician Shen was gradually discouraged by what he said, but he was still a little depressed: "Master Qin, I think ...... Lord Huang doesn't look down on me, and he seems to think that you have a good temper, so he doesn't discuss anything with you. Of course, he is the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the Hou Ye is also His Royal Highness's uncle, and they are all close relatives, so what can't he discuss with him? Is it necessary to hide from you what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will tell him to do?"

Qin Bai smiled and was noncommittal: "Lord Shen, don't worry about these little things. How can you do it without dinner? If it gets colder and colder today, even when you arrive in Jiangnan, it will be wet and cold. If you don't eat tonight, it's going to be a tough night. You'd better be angry, don't let the people around you worry about you. ”

Imperial Physician Shen remembered the worried expressions on the faces of the old servant and the medicine maid, and finally relented.

Imperial Doctor Shen was persuaded here. When Qin Bai returned to his cabin, he saw a white-haired old man standing next to his ship, talking to Zhou Xiangnian in anticipation. Looking at the old man's dress, it seems that he is a member of the Huang clan who is newly on the boat today. Qin Bai was puzzled in his heart, and turned around and instructed Uncle Hu: "Go and ask what's going on?" but he went back to the room.

After a while, Hu Bolai reported: "It's the second master of the Huang family who wants to come to see Brother Jian, but Brother Jian and Zhao Xiaogongzi haven't come back yet." Second Master Huang refused to give up, he had to wait on our boat until Brother Jian came back. Zhou Xiangnian couldn't resist him, and he was afraid of offending Lord Huang, so he invited him into the front cabin for tea. ”

Qin Bai thought that the Huang family and the Qin family were originally in-laws, and it was normal for the Huang clan to come to see Qin Jian, but this second master Huang was clearly an elder, why didn't he wait for Qin Jian to come over to visit, but came to the door by himself?

Qin Bai asked Uncle Hu: "Brother Jian and Guanglu have been out for a day, when has this been, why haven't you come back?"

Uncle Hu said with a smile: "At this time, the gate of Yangzhou City has been closed, the two brothers must be eating near the wharf, right? They took a lot of people with them, and they were all right. ”

Qin Bai smiled dumbly, shook his head, and didn't ask any more.

Second Master Huang came to see Qin Jian, a junior, and the Huang family had an awkward relationship with Qin Bai, so Qin Bai naturally would not rashly come forward to accompany the guests. However, since Qin Jian was not here, why did Second Master Huang have to wait until he came back? When he got on the boat, he must have gone to Jinling on the same road with the Qin family, and he was afraid that he would not have time to meet on the way?

Qin Bai had no intention of delving into the intentions of the second master Huang, so he only ordered Uncle Hu to bring a message to Zhou Xiangnian, asking him to accompany the second master Huang for a while if he had nothing to do, and not to let the guests sit alone for too long. How to say, the Huang family is also the maiden family of Qin Jian's great-grandmother.

Qin Hanzhen ate and drank to his heart's content, took a simple hot bath, and then put on homely clothes and a cotton cloak and came out on the deck. At this time, it was already dark, the boatmen all went to rest, and there were only the male and female servants of the Qin family on the deck, who were their own people, she had nothing to avoid, and she just went out for a walk to eat.

She saw someone in the front cabin from a distance, and thought that her grandfather was blowing the wind here, so she walked over, intending to persuade her grandfather to go back to the cabin earlier, and not to be too happy about the cold and windy night, if he caught a cold, it was not fun. As soon as she got closer, she found that there was a living person sitting inside, and Zhou Xiangnian was standing aside to talk to each other, with no humility in his tone and expression.

Zhou Xiangnian was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and in front of people with higher status than him, he has always been humble and kind. Could it be that this old man's status is lower than his? But if this is the case, why is he sitting while Zhou Xiangnian is standing there? Besides, this old man will sit in the front cabin and have tea, obviously a foreigner. When does a ship have a visitor?

When Zhou Xiangnian saw Qin Hanzhen, he hurriedly put away his contempt and came forward to salute: "Why are the three girls here?"

Qin Hanzhen glanced at the old man curiously, and the other party hurriedly dropped the teacup in his hand and stood up, but he looked helpless, as if he didn't know how to face her.

Qin Hanzhen has been deeply educated by respecting the old and loving the young since he was a child, and he saluted him very politely and asked, "Old man, where are you from? Are you my grandfather's guest?"

The old man smiled crampedly and replied, "I...... My surname is Huang, and that's the ...... Brother Jane, his cousin. ”

Wait, what's the relationship?

Qin Hanzhen's mind turned around a few times before he woke up. Qin Jian's great-grandmother is the Huang family, so this is the Huang family's maternal family...... It's the same generation as his grandfather Qin Bai, right? So it's the nephew of the old lady of the Huang family?

She had heard that Huang Jincheng seemed to have a clansman from Yangzhou's hometown on the boat, presumably this one? However, after listening to the gossip before, she remembered that the old lady Huang's maiden brothers were all in the capital. Those who stayed in their hometown in Yangzhou should not be brothers and nephews, right? This relationship is a bit far away.

It was about idle, Qin Hanzhen became interested in this Huang family's clansman, and she asked the other party sweetly: "Are you here to find my lobby brother? He went out to visit Yangzhou City and hasn't come back yet." Or...... When Brother Lobby comes back, I'll ask him to meet you?"

"No...... Don't dare to be. The old man's tone was full of emptiness, "I'll just wait for him here." I am...... I just want to meet him. I've never seen him before, he must be quite big, right?" he chuckled dryly.

Qin Hanzhen only felt even more strange. Why did this old man seem to have a weak heart in what he said? Could it be her delusion?
