Chapter 128: Old Madam Qu is not happy
Bai Yi's eyebrows widened slightly, "Oh." Everything was told to her? β
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "Actually, I don't need to say it, she has always known about the things here." β
Bai Yi was slightly surprised, but then felt that this was also reasonable.
"And what else did she say?"
She said...... Let's get away as soon as possible," Bai Ling tilted his head and relayed word for word, "We can't get out." β
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed softly.
β¦β¦
At the other end, Qu Xiu walked briskly through the courtyard, and when he saw a few rough envoys beside Mrs. Qu standing outside the ancestral hall, he shouted happily, "Mother!" β
In the ancestral hall, the old lady Qu who was praying for blessings and chanting scriptures couldn't help but open her eyes when she heard this sound.
With the support of the servants, Mrs. Qu slowly got up and turned around, and saw Qu Xiu walking in with a spring breeze on her face.
"Don't behave so frivolously." Old Madam Qu frowned and said, "What kind of place is this!" β
Qu Xiu glanced at the tablets in front of his mother, and immediately accepted the smile on his face, revealing a look of respect.
The maid on the side brought a basin of water, and the old lady Qu cleaned her hands in it leisurely, and her voice was calm and powerful, "If you have something to say, let's come out and say." β
Since the last time he was beaten by Emperor Jianxi and dismissed half of his servants, the entire Qu family looked a little depressed.
The kitchen lining, the courtyard care, and the martial arts, the gatehouse...... Nearly two-thirds of these servants have been cut, and all of them are still in the mansion, and they are basically the subordinates who serve beside the masters.
The popularity of the courtyard is visibly weakened to the naked eye, and the newly fallen leaves are not swept away, and a certain zen is highlighted in the desolation.
Old Madam Qu and Qu Xiu walked in their yard one after another, and the old lady's footsteps gradually slowed down at this time, and she turned around, "Is your heart calm now?" β
"It's quiet, Mother." Qu Xiu said in a low voice.
"That can be said now." Old Madam Qu turned around and shot her gaze straight at Qu Xiu's face.
Qu Xiu was a little embarrassed at this time, he hesitated for a while, but he still reflected first, "It's all because my son is anxious about this, I was so happy to hear that Moon Shadow participated in the garden party, and I forgot to ask about those details, so I only ...... last night I don't know what to ask and don't know. β
"Calm down next time." Old Madam Qu waved her hand, no longer pursuing anything about this matter, her eyes were a little cautious and curious, "What happened to the temporary change of clothes last night?" β
Qu Xiu leaned over slightly, "That's what the news from Zheng Shu said, the clothes that Moon Shadow was going to wear were originally set two days ago, but before going out, she suddenly complained that the headdress was too heavy and uncomfortable, so she dismantled the plate herself, and threw the gold ornaments aside, and finally pulled her head and inserted a hosta." In this way, the original clothes naturally did not match, so Concubine Ning helped her choose a new plain ......"
"Nonsense." The corners of Old Madam Qu's mouth sank slightly when she heard this, "I think it's getting more and more unruly!" Concubine Ning also coaxed with her, what to wear on what occasion, is it up to her! Does she still have a minimum of self-respect in her heart! β
"Hey mother, you listen to me first, this matter is really wrong, and in the end it was a blessing in disguise."
Old Madam Qu glared at Qu Xiu in disgust, waiting for him to continue.
Qu Xiu lowered his voice, with a faint excitement in his tone, "Those people who followed Moon Shadow to the Imperial Garden last night have all seen it, and the one from Chuxiu Palace is dressed exactly like Moon Shadow!" It would be strange if this was not deliberately provoked. Fortunately, Moon Shadow didn't know what kind of blessing to his soul before he went out, and suddenly changed his outfit, otherwise this dress would be a shame for us. β
Old Madam Qu snorted coldly and squinted at Qu Xiu, "It's not you yet?" If you don't listen to me, you have to go into the palace to tell her about the emperor's heir, if it weren't for this incident that made Long Yan angry, how could the palace people in the Chengqian Palace be changed blood, and she Chuxiu Palace wanted to install a private person, how could it be so easy! β
The smile on Qu Xiu's face stiffened slightly, but he could only nod and say with a smile that his mother had taught him a lesson.
"How is Zheng Shu going to arrest the informant in the palace next, did you ask?"
Qu Xiu heard the dissatisfaction and coldness in his mother's voice, and then finally realized that he had just been blessed by misfortune...... Probably didn't impress her in the slightest.
"My son asked." Qu Xiu's eyes dodged slightly, and his voice was a little lower than before, "But...... Zheng Shu's message only said that she had her own arrangements, so let's just wait. β
Old Madam Qu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After listening to everything, there was only Zheng Shu's words, which made her feel relieved.
"The little fight of the garden party, it will be over and it will be over, see the flower viewing party of Anhu Lake at the end of the month, don't do this kind of thing again." After that, Mrs. Qu walked forward step by step with a cane, Qu Xiu hurriedly followed, and told her mother everything she had encountered when she went to Bai Shijun's house in the morning.
"Normal." Old Madam Qu said lightly, "If it doesn't work once or twice, you can go a few more times and show sincerity, and they won't be able to refuse." I'm going to have to see this Bai Ling againβ"
Before the words were finished, the two of them heard a rush of footsteps at the same time.
Old Madam Qu closed her voice in time, and looked at the person with a dignified gaze, "What's the matter?" Didn't you just say don't come along? β
"No, old lady," the visitor looked a little flustered, "the lord asked the lady to come over, and said yes, yes ......"
"What's wrong?"
"It's said that there was a big incident in the Tai Hospital today," the man's voice trembled slightly, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said, "The master said that the matter is urgent, and it seems that it has nothing to do with our family, so ......"
Old Madam Qu waved her hand, signaling that the man didn't have to say any more.
"The day's ......," she said, glancing up at the daylight flickering in the new leaves overhead, "are all looking for something for me." β
β¦β¦
The library of Tai Hospital is a confidential place.
Almost all the medical skills from all over the country can be found here in their original place or in copy.
From time to time, the old man Qin Kang would come to dry books on a cloudless sunny day. He didn't have many books at a time, at most twenty or thirty books at a time, but over the years, he thought that the books in those cabinets were well preserved, and there were no defects or moisture.
Since he retired, Qin Kang has hardly participated in the actual diagnosis and treatment, and most of his energy is the same as Bai Shijun, all of which is devoted to the compilation of existing case files, but he is not like Bai Shijun who traverses the four fields, so he can only start from the classics, synthesize the strengths of each family, and gather the power of the Tai Hospital to compile a current "Jianxi Medical Codex".
In addition to this matter, Qin Kang's favorite thing to do is to dry books, he almost never leaves this matter to other people, which books to dry, and how to place them...... Qin Kang did it all himself.
When doing this, Qin Kang often felt as if he was walking leisurely on the ridges of the fields, looking at the scrolls in his hand, he himself was like an old farmer waiting for the crops in the field to slowly mature.
"Envoy of the Qin Academy!"
A clear voice came into his ears, and Qin Kang turned his head.
Bai Ling was waving at him from afar, and behind her, Bai Yi helped Bai Shijun. Bai Ling's steps were fast, and he trotted towards him.
"Oh, the children of the Bai family." Qin Kang blinked, "Why are you here?" β
