018: Suspicious
The relatives of the Song clan are all waiting outside the main courtyard, waiting for the little guy named Bai Qian, and now he is entangled by the lazy little girl, and he doesn't know what to say, and these people surnamed Song outside the door look at each other.

"Who is that?" a Song clan elder turned his head and asked Song Ajiao.
Everyone saw Song Ajiao shaking her head, and her eyebrows were indescribably dignified.
Song Gillian is the daughter of the Song family in Kyoto, and her mother is like seven points, her peers look at her old-fashioned, but the elders praise her for being "cautious and serious", so this trip to Handzhou, Song Gillian actually came instead of the housekeeper, and her words and deeds also have considerable weight.
Now even she shook her head.
Bai Qian didn't know what Shen Qihuan commanded, so he walked to the gate of the courtyard and beckoned the Song clan relatives to enter, "There are guests in the palace of the prince, and the little one ordered the subordinates to clean up the Changding Palace, everyone can sit in the hall for a while, and the prince will go to the side hall to see everyone after dealing with the matter in hand." ”
Song Clan Uncle thanked him, and led him to the Changding Hall by Bai Qian, Song Xuexian followed Gillian, her heart was churning, she couldn't bear her temperament for a long time, and wanted to ask the little guy about the woman just now. Gillian reminded her in a calm voice: "Hold on, you shouldn't do those faceless things." ”
Song Xuexian wrung her handkerchief: "But ......"
Gillian didn't wait to see her on weekdays, and she didn't know what she said to the maid next to her, and the maid quietly retreated behind the team. The maidservants around Song Ajiao are all human spirits picked out by Mrs. Zhengfang, Song Xuexian stabilized her mind a little, and felt that she emulated Gillian's calmness on weekdays, thinking that she was well versed in it, but she didn't expect that there would be so much difference in things.
Song Xuexian was ashamed of herself, and she was much more disciplined when she walked beside Song Ajiao.
Bai Qian placed everyone in the Changding Palace, and walked out and instructed the servants of the second gate, "Go to the pharmacy and get some licorice, aloe vera, honeysuckle, and lotus seed hearts." ”
The little guy answered, and there was his own pharmacy in King Rong's mansion, and it only took half an hour to go back and forth. Bai Qian personally sent Shen Que Huan over with four packs of medicine.
"Miss Shen, these flavors are not medicinal herbs, why don't you show the small ones to Mr. Changru?" Bai Qian's grandfather was a famous imperial physician in Kyoto, and his father Bai Xingzhi was a great pharmacist in King Rong's mansion.
"No, I don't. Shen Qihuan waved his hand, "I'll make water for him as tea leaves." ”
Bai Qian was stunned for a moment, and gave a thumbs up to flatter: "I really don't know that Miss Shen is still an expert, these flavors are a little weaker to make medicine, but soaking in water is excellent." ”
Where is Shen Qihuan an expert, but at this time of year, the old military doctor in the Quyan camp uses these four herbs to boil a large pot of water to ensure that the soldiers will not get sick for nine days.
After Bai Qian left, Shen Qihuan asked Angelica to make the herbs into the shape of minced herbs and put some in Changru's tea stove every day.
Hongzhi got the order but didn't leave immediately, and whispered to Shen Qihuan: "The slave maid just saw a little girl hiding behind the pillars and looking at this courtyard, the slave maid asked her what was wrong, she said that she got lost and came here by mistake, but the slave maid saw that she was running away quickly, and she actually mixed in the pile of foreign maids in the front yard, and she was not lost at all." ”
Her word "escape" made Shen Qihuan laugh, "According to your meaning, this slave is here to see me? I have nothing to hide, just look at it, and a piece of meat is indispensable." ”
"Miss, you don't care about anything, if you go to the big family, you will suffer. Hong Zhi didn't know what to think, her eyes and face darkened, and she muttered: "No matter how unscrupulous the family is, the dirty ...... of the back house is indispensable."
Shen Qihuan saw that Hongzhi's eyes showed a strong sense of worry, since she learned a few days ago that she was preparing to go back to the Shen Mansion in Kyoto, she looked at herself with worried eyes from time to time, as if the Kyoto family was the surging flood, and she Shen Qihuan couldn't even stand firmly.
Shen Quehuan smiled bitterly in his heart, the down-and-out family is talking about the original Protector Mansion. She remembered that when she first returned to Beijing with her mother, she saw that the people of the Guogong Mansion were setting rules for the aunt of the big house, and the eldest aunt had just married into the Huguo Mansion and the uncle died in battle, and the cousin was the widow of the uncle, and she was married to the prefect of Xunyang. When Shen Quehuan returned to Beijing, the eldest aunt had just made a 40th birthday, and she had seen the eldest aunt clean up the servants and slaves under her head, but she had always been cautious in front of her mother-in-law.
At that time, the second aunt was seriously ill, the second cousin, the third cousin, and several nieces of the second aunt's mother's family were filial piety in front of the bed, and the third cousin was punished by the eldest aunt to kneel in the courtyard for a day because she took a nap while guarding the medicine stove.
Rao is Shen Qihuan pretending to be a man at that time, or is she not happy with the Duchess of the country everywhere, she is uncomfortable in the Protector's Mansion, begging her mother to go back to Quyan all day long, if she asked for more sincerity and determination at that time, maybe ......
A thought flashed in Shen Qihuan's heart, maybe, maybe, maybe her mother would not return to Beijing at all?
Shen Quehuan was so shocked by this thought that she jumped up, in the past, she put all her thoughts on the four capital sins of the ancestral handsome's death, but she forgot an important thing......
If the mother does not return to Beijing...... She and her mother will not be in danger, Zu Shuai has always looked at her mother, and she may not only take 300 people to the east to take risks, she and her brother will not let Zu Shuai be suspected in any case, and Niang will not be arrested in the Protector's Mansion......
Someone deliberately transferred the third lady that Zu Shuai relied on the most from Quyan!
Shen Que Huanwu stared at the foam in the teacup with a distraction, and her thoughts went back to the beginning of last winter, when the eastern border cultivated a good night demon army, and invaded the town near Quyan from time to time......
One is the second aunt Chen's critical illness entrustment, the mother in the Huguo Mansion only and the second lady fell in love, the second lady is critically ill and hopes that the mother will return to Beijing to help her preside over the funeral, so as not to fall into the hands of her brother. The second letter was from her grandmother, the Duchess of Guo, saying that she was going to hold a banquet for her birthday in the first month, and several clansmen of the Jiang family would also come to the capital, wanting her mother to return to Beijing and discuss her marriage with her brother Jiang Shen by the way. The third letter came from the palace's aunt Concubine Wanniang, she is the half-sister of the mother, and I heard that the emperor intends to marry Princess Chaoning to Jiang Shen, so that the mother can make plans as soon as possible.
At that time, these three letters came in a hurry, and Shen Yulan put all his thoughts on the third letter, because there was an unwritten law in the Dayue Dynasty, but anyone who became a colt could only be trapped in Kyoto for the rest of his life, and the official to the sixth rank was also the ultimate.
Shen Qihuan remembered very well that the third letter arrived some time later than the previous two, when her mother was hesitating between going and staying, and as soon as the third letter arrived, she decided to return.
Looking at it now, there are many doubts.
First, the second aunt also wrote a letter of peace to her mother when she entered the autumn, saying that she had buried plum blossom piles in her yard, and she had to play a set of daughter's boxing when she got up early and went to bed late, and she was more energetic than before. But after she and her mother returned to Beijing, the second aunt was already sick and skinny, she said that it was a yin wind, and that the second uncle was beckoning her, and it was all fate.
Second, grandmother Duchess Guo is not a full birthday this year, when she was seventy years old in the twenty-fifth year of Jingli, the emperor and the Nan Guifei surnamed Jiang in the palace all went to the palace to congratulate, it is said that it was extremely lively and magnificent, at that time she did not delay the letter to Qu Yan to call someone back, and now Shen Qihuan recalled that when she and her mother returned to Beijing, Duchess Guo's face was a little hesitant, and they returned to Beijing for a few months, and they never mentioned the matter of discussing marriage with her brother.
As for Concubine Wan's letter, when the third lady entered the palace to meet Concubine Nan and Concubine Wan, it is said that she saw Concubine Nan, but Concubine Wan said that she was ill and did not see her, Shen Qihuan knew that her mother had left the Shen clan before going to the border, and secretly scolded Concubine Wan.
Except for the unclear authenticity of the letter from Concubine Wan, the other two letters are indeed suspicious.
Shen Quehuan's palms gradually filled with fine sweat, if these three letters were indeed strange, maybe they could find out the truth in a roundabout way, as King Jing'an said.
Shen Qihuan was falling into the excitement of the earth-shattering shock, and Hong Zhi suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in, "Miss, the princess just sent someone to send a post over, saying that you are invited to Jinmu Courtyard for a gathering." ”
