Chapter Twenty-Six: Déjà vu
Qin Miaoyan lowered the soft curtain, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"What is the girl laughing at?" Poria asked, tilting her head.
"If you see an acquaintance, say hello."
"Who?" Poria opened the curtain to look, but there was no one, "Isn't Uncle Huang already gone, is he catching up again?" ”
"It's not him," Qin Miaoyan smiled: "I'm not very familiar with him, don't worry about him." ”
Poria said "oh" and sat back down.
Qin Miaoyan came out early this morning, and first went to Ivory Hutong to see Huangling.
She deliberately didn't take Qingdai with her, and took Li Xu away.
Huang Ling has lived in Lanling for many years, and he must know more about He Youde and He Youren's temperament than her.
In the past, although she also tried her best to inquire, but now that she has arrived in Lanling, she still can't feel at ease.
She knows that she can't know everything, but knowing herself and knowing her opponent can survive a hundred battles.
What Huang Ling said is the same as what she knew in her previous life, He Youde, He Zhizhou, that is, the eldest man of the He family, greedy for money and lustful, and has countless concubines in the family.
And He Youren, who runs countless commercial houses, is the largest merchant in Lanling, but he is known for being stingy.
Since He Youde became Zhizhou, the two brothers have been covering the sky in Lanling.
If no one cares, it is better to say that no one dares to care.
It is an indisputable fact that the two brothers of the He family are rich and powerful, not to mention that their surname is He, I heard that they are still from their own family with Taishi He in Shengjing, with this relationship, who would dare to provoke them for no reason?
Therefore, Lanling has been poisoned for all these years, and there is no way to do it.
Just because of Taishi He's way, the Xiao family has never spoken, after all, above the court, although the Xiao and He families are close, they have not been very friendly in recent years.
It's just that this time in detail, Qin Miaoyan also knew some old things she didn't know.
For example, Shen Zhifu.
"Five years ago, the old man wanted to go back to Qingping to recognize his relatives, but it happened that there was a plague in Lanling, and there were a lot of herbs in the treasury at home, so he wanted to go to the prefect of Dongchang Mansion to complain, but he never thought that the prefect was Lord Shen."
Qin Miaoyan vaguely remembered that when she was a child, her mother once said that in the past, her father was also a young master from everyone, but it was a pity that the family property was lost by her own brother, and she was kicked out of the house alone.
And Shen Zhifu was his classmate and friend in the past.
"It's a pity that the old mother of Lord Shen's family died of illness at that time, and he was hesitating whether to go back to his hometown to keep filial piety, and he was in a hurry to follow the power, in order to avoid a turmoil, the master persuaded Lord Shen to stay."
"If Governor Shen had left like this, he might have been able to escape later, but because the master and he touched the interests of the He brothers, they secretly made trouble, and the whole family was imprisoned."
Speaking of this, Huang Ling couldn't help but sigh again, "I heard that there is a daughter about the same age as the girl in the family, and there has been no news since then!" ”
Qin Miaoyan was silent for a moment.
"Shen Shibo has been upright all his life, and Daddy is also for the countless people in Lanling, and neither of them is wrong." Half-ringing, she whispered.
The wrong ones are clearly those villains who are charming and only seek their own selfishness!
The carriage swayed in front of a house.
The stone lion stood solemnly in front of the black high door, and there were four or five guards guarding it, and all of them were tall and mighty men.
They stopped the carriage, and when they saw that the emblem on it was familiar, they asked, "But the Qin girl invited by the patriarch's wife?" ”
"Exactly." The coachman said hurriedly.
As he spoke, the door opened with a "crunch", and a girl came out of it, smiling and groaning: "Miss Qin is here!" Come on in! ”
As he spoke, he helped her out of the carriage.
"There's Sister Lao." Qin Miaoyan gave a salute.
The girl waved her hand, said a few polite words, and led Qin Miaoyan to the backyard.
This time, it was not Mrs. Xiao's instructions, but she accidentally talked about the old lady with Qin Miaoyan, and then talked about Mrs. Wei and her sister-in-law from the old lady.
Mrs. Wei's biological mother went early, and she grew up under the protection of her brother-in-law, that is, the fifth son of the Xiao family.
Although they are half-siblings, the brother and sister are friendly, and the two families are still close today.
The old lady in the family is also a concubine, but she doesn't have this treatment.
Mrs. Xiao heard that the fifth old lady didn't know what kind of illness she had recently, and she had been lingering on the sickbed for a long time.
Qin Miaoyan then proposed that she could go and have a look.
The girl opened the curtain and invited her in.
On the kang sat a woman about forty years old, although she was dressed in brocade, but her face could not be concealed, and she looked sickly, and when the wind came in, she couldn't stop coughing.
"Yes...... Ahem...... Is the doctor here? He sent his maidservant to meet him, but he coughed and couldn't breathe.
Buzzing in her ears, the fifth old lady was panting in the dark, and she couldn't hear what the people around her were saying, and suddenly there were hands on her back, gently breathing for her.
"Are you, the female doctor invited by the eldest daughter-in-law?" Finally calmed down, the fifth old lady took a sip of water, leaned on the large pillow cut of brocade, and asked apologetically.
"Fifth old lady, exactly." Qin Miaoyan got up and saluted her.
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" The fifth old lady gave her a hand and looked at her with a smile, "You are really a well-informed and handsome girl, looking at your body, you are conditioning?" ”
Qin Miaoyan bowed.
"Are you okay now? I'm an old bone, and I can't get into the door. The fifth old lady sighed.
"The eldest prince is recovering well." Qin Miaoyan pursed her lips and smiled, and the two chatted for a few words, and then got to the point.
It turned out that the fifth old lady had been sick for some time, and her phlegm, wheezing and coughing kept going, and she used a few prescriptions but it didn't work very well.
Qin Miaoyan looked at the prescriptions of the previous doctors, and pondered to prescribe a new prescription for the fifth old lady.
I heard the girl say that it was because she had been sick for too long, and the fifth old lady had no appetite, so she taught her a very simple meal, which could not only make snacks and snacks, but also cure diseases.
The fifth old lady coughed too many times, and she didn't have much strength, so she could only lean softly on the pillow and listen with a smile.
After a while, another girl came to report, saying that the fifth lady and the third aunt came to see her.
"Come in," said the fifth old lady hurriedly, and sighed again, "Didn't you say that you don't want them to come, how can you get sick and get sick?" ”
"Mother, you are really, you can't even let your daughter-in-law come to see you."
There was a woman over there who had already walked in, dressed in a silver-white plum print satin facing the placket, looking a little rich, and said with disgust while giving a salute.
Looking at this appearance, it should be the fifth lady in the girl's mouth.
When she saw Qin Miaoyan, she happily stepped forward and asked, "It's really a female doctor, this is really good!" Auntie, come and see! ”
Only then did everyone notice the woman who had been standing silently beside the fifth lady of the fifth room - the third aunt of the fifth room.
Dressed in a plain horse-faced skirt, her appearance was beautiful, but at this moment, her apricot eyes widened and she looked at Qin Miaoyan in dismay.
"Plain ...... Plain words! She muttered.
