As soon as the words fell, Jiang Caiqiong took Aman to the kitchen. Duan's mother stepped forward to salute, Jiang Caiqiong took half of it, then looked at the red lacquer bowl next to her, and asked, "Is there anything inappropriate in it?" ”

Duan's mother handed over the bowl, "Mrs. Jiang, take a look?" I'm afraid it's a dispersion. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Caiqiong's face changed suddenly, and she was about to take it over to identify it carefully, but Duan's mother categorically refused: "Jiang Niangzi is still young, this thing is too damaging to the body, so it's better not to touch it." ”

Jiang Caiqiong nodded immediately, her eyes were fixed on the bowl of soup, and she was about to ask, "Who will do this", but in a flash, she thought that the only person who had a reason to deal with the fourth girl was probably the Shen eldest girl of the Shen family who was worried that her concubine's position was unstable.

At this time, everyone in the capital knows that the eldest girl Shen cried all the way in the carriage from leaving the palace gate to returning to the gate of the Shen mansion, and the girl of the Qin family was not only left to accompany the Empress Dowager Taihuang for lunch, but also was rewarded with a lot of good things.

Such as the ruyi of white jade, the new fabric of blue and pink Luo, and the good Dongzhu of the southern tribute, if Shen Da girl does not feel wronged, I am afraid that people will feel strange. The fourth girl of the Qin family is the future side concubine who has won the blue eyes of King Mu, and the eldest girl Shen has suffered such a great grievance, if she wants to do something to Qin Si, there is nothing that cannot be said.

Mother Duan stood up and whispered to Jiang Caiqiong, "Didn't the sixth girl just want to check the insects hiding in the front and back yards?" Isn't this the right opportunity to deliver it to your door. ”

Jiang Caiqiong looked at Duan's mother's expression and asked, "Could it be that Duan's mother has already thought of a way?" ”

"The hands of the kitchen are exposed, and people in other places can't help but go out to report the news, although this matter is not very glorious, but if it spreads, our four girls are also the ones who were framed, and the Shen family bears the brunt, and it will inevitably be thought that Miss Shen is jealous and intolerable."

This kind of thing can be big or small, not to mention that the fourth girl was originally a favored girl in the house. If the Marquis of Cheng'an sues the emperor, it is difficult to say whether Miss Shen can justifiably marry King Mu next year and become the princess of Mu on the jade plate.

Jiang Caiqiong nodded. Duan's mother thought about it carefully and said: "Please ask Mrs. Jiang to tell the sixth girl about this matter, so that she doesn't have to think about it, the girl has worked hard recently, and she should take advantage of these days to rest for a while, and wait for the right time." When the girl needs to come out, the old slave will ask the girl to preside over the overall situation. ”

Jiang Caiqiong saw that she was sure of what she said, and thought about her mother's means in the previous paragraph, and nodded very reassuringly

By the time she returned to the Yuhua Pavilion, Hui Zhi had already fallen asleep again.

Jiang Caiqiong looked at her sleeping face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Think about what she was still doing at her age? In addition to reading medical books and memorizing prescriptions as usual, it seems that every day is very lively.

But now that Hui Zhi is young, she not only has to be in charge of the daily chores in the backyard, but also has to resist and guard against the forces outside. It's really hard.

Thinking like this, she went to the front study to find Cheng Anhou and her uncle Qin Weien.

***

The news that the emperor and his ministers went south to the south of the Yangtze River spread like a tide in the capital.

It was rainy, and the raindrops outside the study hit the banana leaves in the courtyard piecemeal, and the people in the house looked at the scenery in front of them at all.

In the study, there is a water of black lacquer furniture, hanging azure plain tents, the ground is paved with smooth and neat bluestone bricks, and the bookshelves are full of neat and tidy famous classics and miscellaneous books.

Elder Jian Ge was silent and put away the letters from all sides. Handed it to the young man next to him who was wearing a cyan plain robe and a good-looking mutton fat hosta on his head, his face was not wavering, his expression was calm, and his voice was calm: "Liu Yunqing is useless. actually stabbed such a big man. ”

The young man took the letter with one hand, raised it slightly with the other, picked up the green jade square cup next to him, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "I will go to Jiangnan with my father, so as not to make some arrangements for my father." ”

He was a little weak. The face is like jade, the eyebrows are as beautiful as a painting of immortals, and I don't know if the weather suddenly became cooler and the wind was blowing, coughing slightly, two sentences, and the words were also intermittent, which made people unbearable.

Jian Ge's calm face, hearing these two coughs, couldn't help frowning, made some waves, and said a little distressed: "Didn't you say that it was good before?" Why is it becoming more and more strict today? ”

"It was all right, but today the sky has changed, and I coughed again, and my father doesn't have to worry about me."

The old man of Jian Ge reached middle age, only had a son, named Jian Qing, but for unknown reasons, his body was weak, although he was not seriously ill, but he was not healthy all year round, and he would get sick if he was light, but it was always difficult to recover. Jian Ge looked for famous doctors, but after all, he only had to say, "The child's frailty is not his incurable disease." ”

Jian Ge was tough and a little domineering, and attracted many political enemies in the early days of his career; When Jian Qing was a little older, Jian Ge Lao found that his methods were much softer, like a drop of water piercing a stone, and he unconsciously solved all kinds of chaos and disunity.

"Liu Yunqing is so unusable, I really don't know why the Liu family pushed him out in the first place, you stay in the capital to recuperate, I will go south to Jiangnan, if the matter is revealed, it is better to give up the Liu family" Jian Ge said very hesitantly.

"Absolutely not," Jian Qing hurriedly spoke, choked on a breath, coughed violently, and stopped for a while, "The Liu family is just to protect themselves, they will support Liu Yunqing such a concubine to come out, in case the matter is revealed, push him out, those old Confucians of the Liu family, a few words can wipe out Liu Yunqing and the Liu family, but at that time, what should my father do?" ”

Hearing this, Jian Ge's brows slowly clustered into a peak, Jian Qing took half a sip of tea, and after smoothing out his breath, he continued: "Jiangnan is now a good season, and I have a rare opportunity, so I will go south with my father, not only to be able to understand the movement at any time, but also to have the opportunity to figure out the emperor's thoughts, act when the opportunity arises, and also have the right to recuperate." ”

His eyes were clear and earnest, and Jian Ge Lao looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed. Elder Jian Ge watched his subordinates holding an umbrella and helped Jian Qing back to his courtyard, was silent for a moment, and sighed silently.

Jian Qing had just returned to his yard, and before he could enter the house, he asked the little guy next to him, "Where is Ah Ying?" What did you eat today? ”

The little girl lowered her head and replied, "The girl is still the same as before." I only ate half a bowl of porridge for lunch, and I said that I had no appetite, so I withdrew it. ”

Jian Qing slowly retracted the foot that was about to step into the house, looked at the overcast rain outside, and sighed softly: "That's it, ask the kitchen to send a dish of eight-treasure duck and bird's nest porridge, with pickled cucumbers from Jingxi Hutong, and follow me to see her." ”

"The lord told me, the weather is bad, you are still in the house"

"Ah Ying's appearance, how can I rest in peace. Needless to say, if you don't want to go, just ask Mingyue to go with me. Jian Qing's voice was light and shallow, but inexplicably loud.

The little maid called Langyue bowed his head and was silent, quickly took out an ink-colored big coat from the house and draped it on him, or called Mingyue, and went with him to the courtyard of the eldest girl in the inner house. (To be continued.) )
