Chapter 63: Speculation
When Zhan Qinghui arrived home, it was already dark, and Zhan Shixiu stood at the door unremittingly waiting for his son.
Seeing his father's appearance, Zhan Qinghui hurriedly dismounted, "Dad, it's so cold at night, why did you come out?" Wouldn't it be enough to send a small guy to guard the door! ”
"Oh, Qing'er, you are back, your father has been spending this afternoon, it is really like a year, tell my father, what is going on with the Qiu family?"
"Zhu Ming didn't tell you? There is nothing to do, when I accompanied Ah Ran back to Ju Youzhai, the Empress Dowager sent someone to give Ah Ran a lot of rewards, I have ordered someone to spread the news, not tomorrow, even a fool, can understand the true attitude of the Empress Dowager. ”
Oh! Zhan Shi let out a long sigh and finally put his mind at ease.
Not long after accompanying Zhan Shixiu into the house, the Qin family brought Zhan Lanqi over.
This is her usual method, whenever Zhan Shixiu starts to annoy her, she will pull Zhan Lanqi out for a walk, hoping that Zhan Shixiu can forgive her for her son's sake.
"Big brother, Daddy."
As soon as he entered the door, Zhan Lanqi pounced on him with a milky voice, and the two men with black faces suddenly looked soothed and relaxed.
"Little San'er is here!" Zhan Shixiu greeted Zhan Lanqi, Zhan Lanqi fluttered his little short legs, stepped on small broken steps, climbed along Zhan Shixiu's thighs to Zhan Shixiu's arms, and then greeted Zhan Qinghui on the side, "Big brother." ”
Zhan Qinghui pinched his little face, got up to salute the Qin family, and called out to his mother lightly.
Qin smiled and asked him to excuse him, and then asked, "How is Ah Ran doing now?" What is the hurt today? ”
It doesn't matter what the Qin family has in mind, they always care. Zhan Qinghui's face softened slightly, "There is the Empress Dowager taking care of it, Ah Ran is fine, and Mother Xie cares." ”
"I'm relieved, tomorrow, I'll go and see her, after such a thing, I can't live for a while."
Zhan Shixiu agreed, "Yes, yes, tomorrow you and Lan Qi will go to Jiming Mountain together." I'm still on duty. I can't go with you, you can bring a message to Qiu's family, let her not be afraid, everything is with me and Qing'er. ”
The Qin clan agreed again and again.
She knew that Zhan Qinghui had something to say to Zhan Shixiu. It didn't take long for him to leave with Zhan Lanqi in his arms.
Out of the door. Chang Chang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, looking at Zhan Qinghui's situation, I didn't blame her. That's good, back in the inner courtyard, the Qin family hurriedly instructed the nurse and others to prepare snacks and gifts for the Qiu family.
The nurse said while receiving the order: "It's right for the lady to do this, the old man and the eldest young master both value the Qiu family, and now, even the queen mother is also following the Qiu family, we should get closer to her." Not to mention anything else, I look at the Qiu family, he is a reasonable person, as long as he finds that his wife is sincerely good to her, in the future, he will not deliberately embarrass his wife. ”
Qin Shi put down the softness in his hand and sighed: "You're right, after so many exchanges, I also know that Qiu Shi is not a person who casually blocks people, besides, in the future, I still expect her to be able to carry the master." Our lord, alas, ......"
The nurse immediately stopped talking, she knew that as soon as Zhan Shixiu was mentioned, the Qin family couldn't erase the bend, so she changed the topic, "Madam, the Qiu family likes your pickled cucumbers, do you want to bring another jar to the next day?" ”
"Good! I gave them the last time, and I guess I'm going to finish eating. By the way, there is also that salted duck egg, the grass loves to eat, this batch has been marinated for more than 20 days, and it should be ready to open the altar. ”
The master and servant muttered and made a small half cart of things before resting.
In the study, after listening to Zhan Qinghui's words, Zhan Shixiu was shocked and frightened, and paced back and forth nervously.
asked again and again: "Qing'er, what you said, is it true?" ”
Zhan Qinghui nodded, "There is no falsehood at all." Dad, I have long known that Long Sheng is the daughter of the Queen Mother. The only secret that the two can recognize each other is also well understood. And today, the three moles on Qiu's back are what I saw with my own eyes. ”
Belch. Although now was not the time to talk about etiquette, Zhan Shixiu still blinked, expressing his disapproval of his son's behavior.
"Dad, what do you think about this?" These words immediately made Zhan Shixiu shift his mind, walked back and forth twice, and said with his back hand: "Send someone to check the settlement of the east and west cities, when will there be news?" ”
"It's probably just two days."
Well, Zhan Shixiu nodded.
"I only know a little about the events of that year, and I probably remember that the Queen Mother returned to Anjia with the widow of General Chu, and not long after, her sister, who is now Mrs. An, married Anbide with the same surname as the An family in Xicheng. In less than a year, she gave birth to a daughter, who is now Longsheng, ah no, it should be Qiu. Thinking about it now, from her marriage to pregnancy, to giving birth to a child, it did feel a little hasty......"
"But I don't understand, since the Qiu family was entrusted to the An family to raise by the Queen Mother back then, how did it become the current Longsheng?"
Not only did Zhan Shixiu not understand, Zhan Qinghui was also confused.
Regardless of it, he speculated, "Dad, perhaps, the relationship between the An family and the Queen Mother is not as harmonious as it seems." Therefore, she did not plan to raise a child for the Queen Mother from the beginning. ”
"You mean, An's ill-intentioned and secretly replaced Qiu's? No, no, no, that's too ...... Perhaps, Ann accidentally lost the child? Then I was afraid that the Queen Mother would blame, so I found a baby to replace it. ”
This, it is also possible, Zhan Qinghui nodded, "Just now, it was just my guess." ”
The father and son were talking, when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, "Master, is our master here with you?" ”
It was Zhu Ming's voice.
News so soon! Zhan Qinghui hurriedly opened the door and let him in.
"How's it going?"
Zhu Ming heard this tone, he must not have to hide it from the master, so he immediately said: "Report to the master, the master, there are such a few doubts, it is said that at the beginning, Mrs. An was unwilling to marry, and made trouble a few times, and later, somehow, Mrs. An willingly got married, and before she married for a month, she was diagnosed as pregnant, and the whole house of Xicheng An was happy, but Mrs. An was born prematurely in July. Later, when the child was just full moon, Mrs. An went to Fahua Temple on the outskirts of the city on the grounds that the child was weak and wanted to pray for her, despite the opposition of her family, and Mrs. An and the child stayed there for two days before returning. At that time, the maids and mothers-in-law in Xicheng Anfu also discussed privately that the child was quite healthy and not as weak as a premature child. ”
"Can you still find those people?"
Zhu Ming pondered for a moment, "After more than 20 years, there are some difficulties, but my subordinates will order them to go down as soon as possible and let them search carefully." ”
Zhan Qinghui nodded, and Zhu Ming saw that there was nothing else to order, so he turned around and went down.
After listening to so much, and being in Beijing back then, he knew a thing or two about these things, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhan Shixiu smiled.
"There is such a ridiculous thing in the world, I have heard about it today!"
"Dad, why is it ridiculous?"
"Qing'er, you don't have a child yet, you don't know what a premature child looks like, out of ten, at most one or two can survive, and this needs to be carefully cared for. However, you listen, the maids and mothers-in-law in Xicheng Anfu have talked about that the child is healthy, not like a premature baby. What does this mean? An's did not give birth to a child back then, and that child must be the queen mother. ”
This shows that whether it is the Qiu family or Long Sheng, there must be one of them who is the daughter of the Queen Mother. This is confirmed.
However, since the child is healthy, why did she carry the child and run to pray for blessings? When you came back, you changed all the people you were close to? I made a bold guess, Ann really has bad intentions, I think, she must have done something rebellious! The last sentence, Zhan Shixiu said with a frown.
Zhan Qinghui immediately understood what his father meant, and it was at that time that An Shi exchanged Ah Ran and Long Sheng. This speculation is bold, but it is very reasonable, and it is also very consistent with today's events. (To be continued.) )
