Chapter 70: Isn't it enough to pretend to have amnesia?
"What about Qingwu and Qiu Jinzhu?" Qiu Yulan frowned, "How did they get together?" β
Su He said: "The servant doesn't know, Xiao Ergongzi said that after his family bumped into him by chance, he didn't think much about it. But when I sent the old lady Qin back to Beijing, I was helped by you, and I told you about it, but the person didn't pay attention at the time, and I forgot what the two people said...... I'm afraid I want to be bad for you, so I remind you! β
"It's really a good person with a good reward." Qiu Yulan thought for a while, and said, "I'll be on guard...... Autumn gold beads? After I went back, I asked her what she told Guan Qingwu! β
Before Su He could speak, she vetoed again, "In this way, she and Guo Qingwu will definitely be able to guess that the Xiao family told me, but it was for the Xiao family to find trouble." It's better to take a break and ask again in two days! β
It's just that she hasn't had time to find Qiu Jinzhu for a showdown and questioning, but the matter of Sheng Shushui has been implemented, Princess Yang's news is very accurate, and it was Jiang Yazhu who hired her.
"I heard that the sixteenth prince is also a romantic person, and he has infatuation when he doesn't mean it."
After mourning the old concubine Qin, Qiu Yulan moved back to Ruan's house to live, while waiting for someone to clean up the collapsed courtyard in the Xihe Palace. Before going to Ruan's house, she remembered that the silver hairpin on Ruan Ci's clothes had not been changed for a long time, so she went to the "Linlang Ji" with Shui Jinkai, wanting to buy some new silver jewelry for this eldest cousin.
Just in a hurry and Shui Jin, the two talked about this, Qiu Yulan said, "I have long heard that the trip to Dizi Mountain every year will promote several pairs of people, and I also said that there is no hope for the ground movement this year, but I didn't expect a pair to come out like this." β
Who wanted to smile with Shui Jin, but said: "Jiang Sixteen, he did see Miss Sheng family once on the mountain, and he did say that Miss Sheng family is good-looking...... But it is not a matter of asking her to marry because of this. This time he heard about Miss Sheng, and Sixteen made a big fuss in his yard, and everything was smashed. β
Qiu Yulan was surprised: "So? Then why did you hire Miss Sheng? β
"I'm telling you, you can't sell me." He Shui Jin pursed his lips, "This has a lot to do with your mother-in-law." β
Qiu Yulan's mind turned around, and she was surprised: "Didn't you hear that she came back?" β
"If your father-in-law doesn't come back, how can she come back?" He Shui Jindao, "You also know Jiang Sixteen's life experience, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a thorn in the side of your mother-in-law-to-be!" He doesn't have much of a fight for himself...... Who in the family would help him say anything? Your mother-in-law refuses to hire him well, so this is a tacit acquiescence? β
ββ¦β¦ I think he must now regret the compliment to Sheng Shushui. Qiu Yulan sighed and said.
He Shuijin said: "You are really honest! I really thought that he praised it, and the old lady of Qin Guo rushed to him to say goodbye? I'll tell you the truth - if you can make Old Madam Tao so attentive, the entire Jiang family, except for Qin Guogong, is also qualified for this! Sixteen...... At the beginning, he sent it back before Chunfu and Nineteen, but it wasn't that he couldn't be raised under the old lady's knees, but he only let Sister-in-law Tao raise it casually? β
Qiu Yulan was surprised and asked, "Then why did you choose Sheng Passing Water?" Before He Shuijin could answer, she thought of it first, "Mr. Shao?" β
"Isn't that exact?" He Shui Jindao, "It was recommended by Mr. Shao, in fact, although Qin Guogong and the old lady gave you face to your mother-in-law, and they didn't plan to marry a famous family to Sixteen, they didn't want to treat him too badly." I was going to find him someone with a low background who was good for him, and it happened that Mr. Shao had taught Sheng Shushui for two years, and he thought she was good, so he recommended it. Otherwise, if I say something unpleasant, just Jiang Sixteen's reputation, Sheng Shushui, such a clever person, would easily let him see it? β
ββ¦β¦ These twists and turns are really! Qiu Yulan sighed, "Thank you, if you don't say it, I really think this is a good story!" β
He Shuijin smiled lightly: "How can there be so many good stories?" You and Nineteen are already one thing, and the rest of the Jiang family wants such a blessing...... It's embarrassing! β
"I heard that the fourteenth prince is very obedient to you." Qiu Yulan smiled, "Isn't this a good story?" β
At the mention of Jiang Yaheng, He Shuijin's expression suddenly became hideous, and after a while, he hummed: "He doesn't care, how can he be as worry-free as nineteen?" β
Qiu Yulan said a few more polite words to her, then took the silver jewelry she bought and left.
When she arrived at Ruan's house, she went straight into the backyard as before, but when she entered the courtroom, she saw Xue Chang standing under the porch with a man who looked quite similar to Xue Rongying, both of them were wearing civilian clothes, and their faces were very sad.
"Xue Xiang, Lord Xue!" Qiu Yulan didn't expect Xue Chang to come over in person, the man who looked like Xue Rongying knew that it was Xue Fangchao by looking at his age, and it was inappropriate to avoid going out at this time, so he said hello.
"The county lord is here?" Seeing her, Xue Chang's father and son reluctantly showed some smiles, and came up to thank them, "If it weren't for the generosity of the county lord......"
Qiu Yulan has been tired of hearing Mrs. Sun and Xue Rongqing's thanks these days, and she went to Puyang Wangfu to condolence and listened to it again, so she interrupted at this moment: "Why do you have to see the outside like this? The two of you come over now, I don't know Xue Gongzi and him? β
She thought that Xue Rongying was not good, but after hearing this question, Xue Chang's father and son's faces softened: "Lord Laojun asked, Ying'er has just woken up, and he also said that although it is still burning, the old lady Qi said that it is seventy or eighty percent likely to survive." β
Qiu Yulan was surprised: "In this case, why are the two of you still worried?" "Could it be that you don't trust Qi Shuluo's medical skills? It shouldn't be, although Qi Shuluo's medical skills are not the first in Da Rui, he is also a master in the hospital, otherwise Qiu Jinglan was assassinated before, and Jiang Yashuang would not have recommended him to come over - this person is good at trauma and recuperation.
Sure enough, Xue Chang smiled bitterly: "It's because Ying'er just said who attacked him and why he did it......"
"Oh?" Qiu Yulan wanted to ask the murderer casually, but at this time, a cough suddenly came from behind her, Qiu Jinglan led Ruan Yi in, and interrupted what she was about to say: "Teacher, Lord Xue, the two of you have just rushed back from Dizi Mountain, why don't you go to the study to serve tea to relieve fatigue?" β
"Okay." Xue Chang bowed, said hello to Qiu Jinglan with Xue Fangchao, and left with Qiu Jinglan.
ββ¦β¦ Looks like that's not quite right! Qiu Yulan noticed that Qiu Jinglan's previous cough was just to prevent himself from asking-and Xue Chang's father and son had just heard Xue Rongying, who had just woken up, said that the murderer, but Qiu Jinglan was not here, obviously deliberately avoiding it, "Or does my brother not want to wade into this troubled water rashly?" Also, with Xue Chang's status and personality, he made a dead hand against Xue Langying, God knows what the origin is? β
She went in to see Mrs. Sun and Xue Rongqing, and quietly called out Ruan Ciyi, who was accompanying her: "I bought some silver hairpins and the like, I don't know what you like, cousin, so I picked some of them." β
Ruan Ciyi was a little surprised, and said, "Why did you suddenly remember to buy this for me?" β
Although it is said that filial piety cannot pursue dressing up, it is a woman's nature to love beauty, and she said this, but she still followed Qiu Yulan to see new jewelry.
The two cousins tried on the hairpin ring once, and when they saw that it was getting late, they sent someone to the front to ask, saying that Xue Chang and his son had left, and Qiu Jinglan was in his study.
Ruan Ciyi said, "I'll ask Mrs. Sun about having dinner with Miss Xue." β
"Then I'll go find my brother!" Qiu Yulan also stood up.
The two went their separate ways, and when Qiu Lulan entered the study, he asked, "Who injured Xue Rongying?" β
"You can't even think of it." Qiu Jinglan put down the book in his hand, and then said, "It was he who bumped into Gu Guifei and Qiu Shen, the nephew of Qiu Dian, who had a private meeting, and was killed by Qiu Shen!" β
Qiu Yulan was surprised: "The queen is so fierce, there is such a thing in the harem?!" "Jiang Yadan's situation is different, he relied on his father's shadow and the queen's aunt to mix with the envoy of the Royal Forest Army, and he has to go in and out of the palace every day, not only has the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first, but also because the queen will not be too guarded against her nephew, so he can hook up with the original concubine.
And although she hadn't heard of Qiu Shen, as soon as she heard Qiu Dian's nephew, she knew that it was not all the way with the queen.
Especially Gu Guifei is different from the previous concubine, the former concubine was favored by her sex, and the queen who cared about the world didn't take her seriously at all, and even Jiang Yadan said that she was a plaything...... Concubine Gu, just because she is the niece of the Empress Dowager Gu, the queen will not neglect to pay attention to her.
In this way, Qiu Shen can hook up with her, and he hasn't called the queen to find out until now?
Qiu Jinglan glanced at her and said, "Qiu Shen has been released since Concubine Gu entered the palace, and he has only recently returned to Beijing. Xue Rongying's spirit was not very good, and he spoke intermittently, and he didn't know if it would be clearer when he told his teacher later...... It is estimated that there was a beginning and an end before - at that time, Queen Jiang had only just entered the palace, and it was not surprising that the foundation was still shallow and it was exploited - take advantage of this Halloween to rekindle the old love. β
"Xue Rongying told you about the murderer first?" Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, "Yes, he may not be able to live until now, so naturally he will explain things when he wakes up." How could they wait until Xue Xiang and them came...... By the way, aren't they still 'looking' for people in the Emperor's Mountain? How did it come? β
Qiu Jinglan snorted: "First, because of the rumors of ground movements, the undercurrent in the court is turbulent, and the identity of the teacher naturally cannot stay outside for a long time; Second, Xue Rongying's situation was very bad two days ago, so I made the decision to send them a message...... After all, the biggest reason for concealing his injuries here before was to avoid him being assassinated again. But if he is not good, it will be meaningless to continue to be a guise in Dizi Mountain. β
"And what are they going to do now?" Qiu Yulan thought for a while, and asked excitedly, "This is a good thing for the Jiang family-Xue Xiang attaches so much importance to Xue Rongying, he will definitely not let go of Gu Guifei and them, right?" β
Qiu Jinglan sneered: "It's too naΓ―ve for you to think so!" First, it was Qiu Shen who started it, not even Concubine Gu, if the Gu family didn't say anything about this matter, the Empress Dowager Gu definitely didn't know! Otherwise, even if the queen mother wants the emperor to be a puppet, it is impossible to tolerate her niece stealing people! Therefore, the Xue family's revenge was first directed at Qiu Shen, and then the concubine! Second, Xue Rongying is still alive now, and there is a high chance that his life will be saved, and the teacher doesn't necessarily have to work hard for him! β
He sighed, "Do you think Empress Dowager Gu is so easy to deal with?" Such a big matter involves the lives of the whole family...... Even if it's a teacher, you have to think about it. β
"It's strange that I saw them frowning when I came in before." Qiu Yulan was not disappointed, "But after all, the younger generation who attaches the most importance to it has suffered such a big loss, even if he doesn't immediately roll up his sleeves and work hard with the Queen Mother, he will crook his mouth at a critical moment in the future......"
"The problem is that if Xue Rongying dies, it will be forgotten, if he can live." Qiu Jinglan calmly reminded her, "Concubine Gu, will they simply tell the Empress Dowager Gu in a hurry?" Will Empress Dowager Gu be worried that she will not be able to appease her mentor and strike first? β
Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment and said, "Are they worried about this? Isn't that simple? Wouldn't it be enough to let Xue Rongying pretend to have amnesia? Since Gu Guifei and they chose to kill people and kill their mouths, how dare they tell the Queen Mother that they cuckolded the Queen Mother's biological son unless they had to?! β
Qiu Jinglan was stunned and thoughtful.
