"Yao Ji Pharmacy, this is it."

Hasumi stood on the street, pointing to the shop opposite.

"The Qi family would marry their eldest daughter to a medical family, Qi Zongbing is not like an ordinary martial artist." Zhang Zong said on the side.

Yes, Liansheng has read Qi Wei's file, a very typical military general, born in a family of military attachés, has not read any books, joined the army in his teens, and has been stationed in Qianzhou for more than ten years, so Concubine Rou said that she was in Qianzhou when she was a child.

It is indeed strange that a family of military attachés for generations would marry their eldest daughter to a family who runs a medicine shop.

In ancient times, the ambition of many people who read books was to be a good doctor if they were not good looks, which was Fan Zhongyan's famous saying.

Because the employment path of the ancient scholars was very narrow. It is said that he is studying to be an official, but in fact, there are only a few people who can be an official. What should I do if I can't be an official? In addition to some people abiding by Confucianism and Taoism, continuing to cultivate their families and live their farming and study life, most people also have two career choices: one is to be a gentleman, set up a museum to teach apprentices or be hired by private schools, teach and educate people, and continue to inherit the Confucian fire; The second is to be a doctor, hang a pot to help the world, and embark on the road of saving lives and helping the wounded, treating diseases and saving people. So in ancient times, many famous doctors were scholars.

A family of military generals and a family of doctors are married, which is really a bit different from the crowd.

Mrs. Qi is the mother of Concubine Rou, and the case involves Gong Fu, so the murder of Mrs. Qi has not been made public, and the Yao family obviously does not know about it, and everything is normal in the pharmacy. Liansheng and Zhang Zong walked into the Yao family's pharmacy, and the main hall was very large. There are medicine shelves around the circle, and there are many people sitting at the door of the side hall, it seems that they are waiting to see a doctor, and this Yao family's medical skills are very famous in the area of Hejian Mansion.

"Are you buying medicine or seeing a doctor?" Seeing that these two were well-dressed and temperamental, the man hurriedly greeted them.

"May I ask the eldest daughter of the chief soldier of Qianzhou, but is your grandmother?"

"Oh, that's right, our grandmother is a serious lady, but the grandmother doesn't know medical skills, so if you want to see a doctor, you have to find our uncle, if you want to find a relative. Hey. Grandma should come to the shop at this time on weekdays, you wait. ”

The guy was very clever and guessed the intention of Liansheng.

Liansheng smiled, "You're really a good fellow. As he spoke, he quietly took out a silver horn and stuffed it into the man's hand.

The guy had a smile on his face: "Girl, you are ......"

"We are officials from Kyori. I want to know about your grandmother's family. ”

Liansheng said in a low voice.

The fellow looked around, "You two come with the little one." There's something wrong with your medicine list. ”

That guy was very clever. Guiding Liansheng and the others behind the medicine shelf, he lowered his voice and said, "The eldest grandmother's family has never been to Hejian Mansion, and I heard that the eldest grandmother and her mother's family are a little estranged. ”

"Your grandmother won't go back to her parents' house?"

"No, I won't go back. I have been married to the Yao family for more than two years, and I have never heard of her returning to her parents' house. ”

The eldest daughter of the Qi family never returned to her parents' house, and after two years of marriage, no one from the Qi family came to see her, this Qi family is quite strange.

Liansheng thought of the situation of the Qi family recorded in the archives: Mrs. Qi Meng, married to Qi Wei for twenty-four years, has three sons and two daughters, the three sons are in Qianzhou, and the eldest daughter is married to the Yao family in Hejian Mansion, looking at it this way, the Qi family's house in the capital only Mrs. Qi and the second daughter Qi live together, the strange thing is that Qi Xin suddenly appeared in the social circle of the capital two years ago, the male owner of the Qi family is in Qianzhou all the year round, Mrs. Qi's social network in the capital is very low-key, in the past, Mrs. Qi only took her eldest daughter out to socialize, until two years ago, Qi Xin suddenly appeared in the social circle of unmarried girls in the capital, and the daughter of the Qi family happened to get married two years ago, and she never returned to her parents' house after getting married.

Liansheng felt strange that at the beginning, Qi Xin mentioned the customs and customs in Qianzhou to himself. However, the information she checked about Mrs. Qi showed that she had never lived in Qianzhou, and it was impossible for Qixin, an unmarried girl, to live alone with her three brothers and father in Qianzhou, and it was impossible for Mrs. Qi to send her husband and children to live in Qianzhou, and to stay in the capital alone, which was very unreasonable. The information shows that the three sons of the Qi family also went to the Qianzhou barracks to serve in the army after coming of age four years ago, and they have been in the capital since their youth, and they are often with the children of other military attaché families, and many people can testify.

Concubine Rou did not have a sad look on her face when she mentioned Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi also sent longan to her pregnant daughter.

If Qi Xin was not born to Mrs. Qi, all of this can be explained: there is no mother-daughter relationship between the two, and they may even resent each other.

"Grandma is here."

The guy had sharp eyes, and saw a woman coming in with a maid from the side of the medicine shelf, hurriedly greeted, and at the same time signaled to Liansheng with his eyes: This is the eldest grandmother.

Lian Sheng stepped forward and saw a woman in her twenties with a delicate appearance. This daughter of the Qi family looks very dignified and generous, and her facial features are not similar to that of the concubine.

"This lady is the eldest daughter of the general soldier of Qianzhou Qi?"

"Exactly, the girl is ......"

Grandma Yao looked at the two people who came over, a young girl and a middle-aged scholar, and she didn't know what these two people were looking for her.

"We are officials of Dali Temple, and we want to know something about the situation with Yao Niangzi."

"What? Dali Temple? But my father ...... Could it be ...... Oh my God......"

When Grandma Yao heard Dali Temple, the whole person panicked.

This is the normal reaction of women in this era.

Grandma Yao was born in a family of military attachés, and the affairs in the officialdom are also familiar to her, so she naturally knows that what can be directly investigated by Dali Temple is a big case. But she suddenly blurted out that she was worried about Qi Zongbing, which showed that she had been worried about something happening to the Qi family. Qi Zongbing represents the fate of the entire Qi family, once he has an accident, the Qi family may fall from the sky to the ground, and there will be no return.

Why did the good Qi family have an accident? How could she be scared like this?

"I wonder if I can find a quiet place to talk?"

Liansheng looked like a businessman, with a straight face and a cold expression.

Grandma Yao was panicking all over, and what Liansheng wanted was this effect, which made her nervous and made her think with loopholes.

Seeing that the female official's expression was so serious, Grandma Yao still believed that something had happened to General Qi in her heart, she was paralyzed and shook a little, and the maid behind her hurriedly held on: "Grandma, what's wrong with you." ”

Grandma Yao forced herself to calm down: "Please come with me, two of you." ”

Grandma Yao took Liansheng and Zhang Zong to the backyard, and then asked everyone to sit down on the stone bench, also known as the maid to pour tea, then her hands were tightly twisted together, she closed her eyes slightly and breathed deeply, and her voice was as calm as possible and asked, "I don't know what happened to the two of you." ”

Although she tried her best to calm down, Lian Sheng could still hear a slight tremor and her voice fluttering, so she leaned forward, stared at Grandma Yao and asked, "What are you worried about?" Worried about your father or your mother, or your sister? ”

When Grandma Yao heard the words of her sister, she couldn't help but shake her hands.

"Your sister has already been made a concubine, don't you know?"

"What? She...... Entered the palace? Grandma Yao was particularly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Then my mother, my mother is fine, right?" ”

"Why did you think that your mother would be okay when you heard your sister enter the palace?" Lian Sheng suddenly pressed her hand: "Yao Niangzi, why are your hands so cold?" ”

Grandma Yao's hands were still shivering slightly.

"I ...... I'm just cold. ”

"What makes you feel cold? Shouldn't it be a great joy for your sister to enter the palace and become a nobleman? Why do you think that your mother will be in trouble when your sister enters the palace? What are you doing when you married into Hejian Mansion and haven't returned to your parents' house for two years? Your sister ......"

Liansheng paused for a year, and when he saw that Grandma Yao's eyes were confused, he shouted: "It's not Mrs. Qi's birth, it's not your own sister!" So when your mother died, she was just pretending to be in front of people, and she wasn't actually sad. ”

"Huh?"

Grandma Yao is just a boudoir lady, how can she withstand so much pressure, and completely collapsed under Liansheng's questioning: "Why did my mother die?" How did you die? Grandma Yao looked at Liansheng and suddenly realized: "You are here for this, it was not my father but my mother who had the accident?" ”

"Yes, your mother went to the palace to save her relatives and was killed on the way back, and the scene was extremely tragic."

"Oh my God." Grandma Yao covered her mouth with her hand, and after a while she let go of her hand, Liansheng saw a tooth mark on the palm of her hand, and it seemed that she was extremely sad.

"My lord is right, Qixin is not my own sister, it must be this slut who killed my mother!" (To be continued......)
