Qin Yixuan and Zhang Xihe marched all the way north to Kaizhou. Three days later, he finally arrived at Qin Zhenxuan's home in Taiping Town, Kaizhou. As soon as they entered the house, they heard a cry in the house. Qin Zhenxuan and Zhang Xihe were startled, they didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly walked to the house. Before entering the house, I saw the housekeeper Qin Xianpei walking out of the house with two long-term workers.

When Qin Xianpei saw that Qin Yanxuan was back, he cried like a tearful man and grabbed his hand and said, "Third Master, you're back." The second master is about to be beaten to death, so go into the house and take a look. Qin Yuxuan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly walked into the house with three steps and two steps, and Zhang Xihe and several others also followed into the house.

I saw a large bed by the window in the room, and a group of people gathered in front of the bed. Qin Yuxuan's second sister-in-law Ji, Qin Yanxuan's cousin Qin Tieying, Qin Tieshan and two cousins-in-law, as well as Guangde and Xiangzi are also there. That Xiangzi was crying, shaking the arm of Qin Yuxuan's second brother Qin Tianyou and said, "Dad, wake up, wake up." ”

When everyone heard that someone had entered the house, they turned around and saw that it was Qin Yuxuan who had returned, so they hurriedly flashed aside. Qin Yuxuan approached the bed, only to see Qin Tianyou's face sallow and yellow, his eyes closed, his face was blue and purple, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Qin Yanxuan checked the pulse of the second brother, only to feel that the pulse was very weak.

Qin Yuxuan turned around and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Who did this to you? The second sister-in-law, Ji Shi, wiped her tears and said, "Who else?" It's not the Lunan Zhai that was killed that day. Cousins Qin Tieying and Qin Tieshan pulled Qin Yixuan out and walked into the flower hall, Qin Zhenxuan said to Zhang Xihe: "Brother Han Ting, I just got home and suffered this misfortune, which makes you laugh." After speaking, Zhang Xihe was introduced to the two cousins, and the three returned to the topic after greeting each other, Zhang Xihe said: "It is important to save people, and the truth of the matter will be explained slowly." Qin Yuxuan said: "What Brother Han Ting said is extremely true, but it is best to understand the injury and know where the injury is so that you can prescribe the right medicine." Two brothers, where is my second brother's injury? Then why did Lu Nanzhai do this to my second brother? ”

I saw Qin Tieying's eyes widen angrily, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not been a day or two since Lu Nanzhai bullied people. Three days ago, someone suddenly brought an old man on a stretcher in front of the pharmacy, this old man was an old bachelor in the west of the town, named Lu Maigui, who was Lu Nanzhai's uncle in terms of seniority. Originally, the two families of Qin and Lu did not interact with each other, but for some reason someone carried Lu Maigui to our pharmacy. ”

Qin Tieshan said: "It's true that Lu Maigui is Lu Nanzhai's cousin, but Lu Nanzhai, the bastard, has never taken care of any of his affairs. I heard that this Lu Maigui fell ill a few days ago, and Lu Nanzhai, who had always ignored him, actually asked him to take him to the Lu family pharmacy to see him. Nalu Maigui was not seriously ill, but he felt tightness in his chest. Who knows that it's okay if it's not cured, and the more it is cured, the more powerful it becomes. Later, he simply didn't move, and he only shouted pain when he lay at home every day, rolling on the ground in pain, and Lu Nanzhai didn't even ask anymore. The neighbor couldn't see it, so he carried him to our pharmacy. Originally, the Qin and Lu families had not been in contact for decades, but the second brother was too honest and couldn't withstand the prayers of others. In line with the duty of a doctor to save the life and help the wounded, he took over Lu Maigui, who knew that Lu Maigui's illness was very strange, and after taking a few doses of medicine, he did not get better at all, and died on the night he was carried home. The next day, Lu Nanzhai took a group of people from his clan to the pharmacy, and as soon as he entered the pharmacy, he began to smash it. shouted that the two families of Qin and Lu had a great enmity, and the two surnames did not interact at all, why did they want to treat his cousin? Doesn't he see the Lu family well? It's okay to look at it well, but now we see people dead, saying that we have resentment and deliberately poisoned his cousin to death in order to avenge the world. said that he would beat people when he saw them, and the second brother rushed to hear the news and reasoned with Lu Nanzhai, and the Lu family couldn't help but press the second brother to the ground, and beat him badly without a head or face. He knocked out two of his front teeth and three of his ribs. It's been almost two days now, and the second brother has not touched his teeth and has been unconscious. Thanks to our family's 'Bilian Gum Ginseng Dan', I took two pills for my second brother, which saved my life, or I would have died a long time ago. I sent someone to Kaizhou County early this morning to find the old man, and it should be almost there. This is the origin of the matter, you and Mr. Zhang quickly discuss how to save the second brother. ”

Qin Tieying said: "This is Lu Nanzhai's plan to kill two birds with one stone, Lu Maigui is an old bachelor, and he has no property. But he has an old mansion that covers a lot of land. Lu Maigui had no children and no daughters, and after he died, this house belonged to Lu Nanzhai. Lu Nanzhai couldn't wait to get it, this time it was clearly through Lu Maigui's illness and secretly poisoned him, wanting to poison Lu Maigui and get the old mansion as soon as possible. Who knew that someone sent Lu Maigui to our pharmacy, and the second brother was unable to return to the sky, so Lu Maigui was killed. All this happened to be seized by Lu Nanzhai as an excuse to beat the second brother to a serious injury, in order to avenge the revenge of the two worlds, and at the same time get the house. This Lu Nanzhai is really poisonous! ”

Zhang Xihe said: "This Lu Nanzhai is so bold, he dares to poison his uncle, isn't he afraid that the government will inquire about this matter?" ”

Qin Zhenxuan said: "Brother Han Ting, this matter is a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I have time, now let's hurry up and give the second brother another look, study a prescription, I think the second brother is not lightly injured, but I think there is still salvation. ”

Everyone was talking, and suddenly the door curtain was lifted, and the old man Qin Lanting walked in. Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him, asked the old man to sit down, and Qin Xianpei brought tea again. Qin Yixuan greeted his father first, and then introduced Zhang Xihe to the old man.

Qin Lanting said to Zhang Xihe: "Our two families are world friends, your father Zhang Lipo and I are heart-to-heart friends, the last time I went to your house in Nanyang, you were only thirteen years old, you are only so tall, more than ten years have passed, you have grown so tall and majestic, I can't recognize it." Zhang Xihe hurriedly gave Qin Lanting a salute. A few people went to see Qin Tianyou's injury first, and then began to discuss the prescription until dark, and finally a few people agreed on a prescription, and Qin Yuxuan handed it to Qin Xianpei to let him grab the medicine.

The next day, Qin Zhenxuan and Zhang Xihe went to Qin Tianyou's house to check the injury, only to see that Qin Tianyou had woken up, his eyes were slightly open, and he still couldn't speak. The two asked about some specific situations, and the second sister-in-law Ji said that Qin Tianyou ate a little steamed egg and a little rice soup. The two of them were obedient and relieved, it seems that their condition has stabilized, their lives are no longer in serious trouble, and they will recover after some time.

Qin Zhenxuan and Zhang Xihe came to Qin Lanting's house again to ask for peace, the three of them sat down, and the servants offered tea. Qin Yixuan said to his father: "This Lu Nanzhai relied on the power of his distant uncle Bai Jing'an, and came to the door again and again to find trouble. This time, the second brother was beaten like this, how could this matter be reconciled with him? Dad, according to me, this morning I will gather the clansmen to the ancestral hall and bring the guys to fight with Nalu Nansai. ”

Qin Lanting waved his hand: "This is all a grudge accumulated in the previous life, the big fight between the two families has happened three times, and many people have been killed and injured each time." You can't gather your clansmen to fight again unless you have to, you must know that once you fight, you will die. ”

Qin Yixuan said: "Is it so cheap, Lu Nanzhai, this bastard?" On my way to Nanyang, I met Liu Heiqi, a bandit from Guanxian County, Shandong Province, and saved his life. No, I went to Liyuantun in Guanxian County to find Liu Heiqi and asked him to tie up Lu Nanzhai. ”

Qin Lanting said: "Xuan Xuan, you don't know yet, then Liu Heiqi and Lu Nanzhai are in the same group. I heard in Kaizhou that this Liu Heiqi was invited by Lu Nanzhai to spend 3,000 taels of silver to tie you up on the way. At that time, I was in a hurry, and I was about to send someone to pick you up, but who knew that your friend Yuan Naiwan had returned with Guangde and Xiangzi. told the truth of the matter, said that you saved Liu Heiqi, and the two became friends. I just let go of this heart. ”

Qin Yixuan said in surprise: "Oh, it turns out that Liu Heiqi was invited by Lu Nanzhai to tie me up." I wondered what it was. ”

Zhang Xihe Qi said: "It turns out that things are so complicated, I thought it would be strange enough to meet people from the White Lotus Sect in the Huanghua Temple in Runan. There is even a Liu Heiqi, and there are Lu Nanzhai and Bai Jingan behind him. Old man, what kind of hatred do we have with this Lu Nanzhai, and we still refuse to give up after decades of fighting? ”

Qin Lanting looked at Qin Lanting, Qin Zhenxuan also looked at Qin Lanting, and finally Qin Lanting sighed and said, "I am close friends with Han Ting's father, and your father knows this matter very clearly. You are not an outsider, today I will tell you the reason for Qin Lu's feud in detail. Cultivate first, set the wine and serve the food, and let's talk while eating. The old man Qin Lanting opened the conversation box and told the story of the two families back then.

It turned out that Qin Lanting's father's name was Qin Jiashan, and he was a man in the Daoguang period. Because he did not rank in the township examination, he inherited the ancestral business and ran the ancestral "Hongjitang" pharmacy vigorously, and the business was quite prosperous. As the saying goes: there are poor people who are endless. It is a great thing to be able to lift a person in the township, and although he has the status of a lifter, he has no merit and fame, but he also has the qualifications of an alternate official. Maybe one day there is a vacancy in the county, and the vacancy can be filled by raising people, so everyone in the entire Taiping Town respects Qin Jiashan. There are always people who come to the door to give gifts during the New Year's holidays, and everyone rushes to help if there is anything. In addition, Qin Jiashan was generous, willing to give, and did not take a penny for medical treatment when he encountered the poor, and released food free of rent in disaster years, so he fell into a good name of "great benevolent" in the town.

Qin Jiashan married his wife Li, who was the daughter of a large family in the neighboring village, and had a good family education and a gentle temperament. After marrying into the Qin family, she is a husband and a good mother, and she is a standard good wife and mother. He has a son and a daughter. The eldest son, Qin Lanting, has a daughter named Qin Xueqing.

When Qin Jiashan was forty years old, he married a concubine named Wang Lijun. This Wang Lijun was originally a famous actor in the Zhangde Mansion opera troupe, and later came to Taiping Town to sing opera for the New Year, and was favored by Qin Jiashan and married into the family. Later, he also gave birth to a son, named Qin Leyi. It turned out that Qin Jiashan loved calligraphy, especially Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, so he named the three children after Wang Xizhi's calligraphy post. Qin Lanting took the meaning of "Orchid Pavilion Preface", Qin Leyi took the meaning of "Le Yi Theory", and Qin Xueqing took the meaning of "Sunny Paste when the Snow is Fast". These three stickers are the best products in Wang Xi's trip. Qin Jiashan's own calligraphy is very famous in the local area, because he is a lifter, so there is an endless stream of seekers, the signboard on the shop and the gatehouse in the south of Kaizhou is more than his hand, and the family is also proud of the middle hall and four screens that hang his writing in the living room.

When Qin Jiashan was nearly sixty years old, he married another concubine, surnamed Bai and named Bai Cong'er. This Bai Cong'er is eighteen years old, born with a bright water, a pair of eyes flowing in autumn waves, and bright eyes. His father, Bai Zhongyi, was a gambler in the neighboring village of Baijiatun, who sold the family's ancestral dozens of acres of fertile land, and later took all the valuable things in the family to the pawnshop. In the end, there was really nothing to sell, so he paid off his wife's gambling debts and gave it to another gambler in the village. Later, Bai Zhongyi was forced to pay debts again, and he had no choice, so he actually fought his daughter's idea. actually wanted to buy Bai Cong'er to be a prostitute in the "Mingyue Building" in Kaizhou.

After Lu Jiaheng, the young man of "Hongjitang", knew about this, he begged Qin Jiashan to buy him as a concubine. Qin Jiashan originally had no intention of taking a concubine, but when Lu Jiaheng led Bai Cong'er to the Qin family, Qin Jiashan was immediately moved after seeing it. So he gave Bai Zhongyi five hundred taels of silver and bought Bai Cong'er.
