The old lady with gray hair, her eyebrows were tight, and her face was solemn.

Ruan Qingyan and Qiu Yulan were holding their breath in fear, not daring to disturb in the slightest, and they didn't even have time to greet Jiang Yashuang, who had personally invited the old lady.

After a long time, the old lady doctor let go of the hand that was taking the pulse, frowned, and said, "It's not too good." ”

The hearts of the two brothers and sisters sank suddenly!

Fortunately, Jiang Yashuang calmly asked: "Can you still be saved?" ”

"This time, yes, but if it happens again, it's hard to say." The old lady stroked her long beard, although her expression had always been very solemn, Qiu Yulan keenly noticed that he seemed to be a little uneasy.

Ruan Qingyan cautiously asked: "Dare to ask the imperial doctor, ...... is my grandfather's illness?" ”

"I'm old, and it's hard to heal." The old lady sighed, "Especially the old general, who has been fighting horses all his life, has accumulated countless dark wounds in his body...... In the past few years, the mood has been depressed, which has made matters worse, and now the lower officials can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause! ”

Ruan Qingyan's face turned pale all of a sudden!

After a while, he bowed his hand and said, "Even so...... After all, you can still allow me to serve a few days before the bed, and ask the doctor to be benevolent! Relieve the pain of your grandfather's illness! ”

"Although the old general is old, he has a filial grandson like Gongzi to serve his knees, and he is very happy to think that the old general can't speak." The old lady looked at him with pity and said with relief.

There were no four treasures in the house where General Ruan lived, so Ruan Qingyan asked the old lady doctor to go to the study next door to prescribe a prescription - Qiu Yulan stayed to guard General Ruan, but Jiang Yashuang didn't move, but looked at Xi Wei and the others, and after letting them all withdraw, he said lightly: "Although Qi Shuluo is not a court judge, he is also among the best in the Tai Hospital. He said that he couldn't cure the root cause of General Ruan, and he was afraid that the old general would ...... It's been delaying for a long time. ”

"I know." Qiu Yulan was a little depressed.

She knew it when she walked through, and the doctor that General Ruan had found before concluded that he would not live for half a year.

Now that I calculate, it seems that half a year has arrived.

But he really couldn't die.

Even if he is now similar to the vegetative people he saw in Qiu Yulan's previous life, but he is alive, and the General's Mansion is the General's Mansion. No matter how defeated it is, it is also a noble family.

is also the only elder that Ruan Qingyan's brothers and sisters can rely on now - without this elder, last time "Renqing Hall" was smashed, where did Qiu Yulan get the reason to go straight to the Xihe Palace, and reprimand his uncle and aunt for being ruthless?

The most terrible thing is that it is only half a month before Ruan Qingyan is gone.

General Ruan is seriously ill, how can his grandson still concentrate on preparing for the exam?! How can you still take the test?!

Without the status of a jinshi, it is not enough to officially step into the official career. Even if you add the identity of the heir of the down-and-out general, even if a seventeen-year-old is rare, but after all, he can't follow up with Shibi, and if he barely joins the ranks, his future is limited.

What's more, Ruan Qingyan has long taken a fancy to Xue Chang, the master...... Once he misses this year, even if he can survive in the whirlpool of the second queen until three years later, he will definitely be able to catch up with the people on Queen Jiang's side as examiners?

"Do you have any plans?" Jiang Yashuang asked with a deep groan.

"But I hope the old lady can rejuvenate herself." Qiu Yulan said lonely, "Otherwise, what else can I do?" ”

Jiang Yashuang thought for a while and said, "Actually, your cousin could not have mentioned the Lian family at the beginning. ”

"What?" Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment, then she understood, smiled to herself, and said, "I'm an orphan girl, and I'm still facing my uncle." The Ruan family has also been in decline for many years...... If you don't get the Lian family, maybe your cousin won't be at ease. ”

"Since the letter is true, with the queen in charge, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Yashuang shook his head, "Ruan Qingyan mentioned that the Lian family was nothing more than because the spring festival was imminent, he was not worried that you would go to the court alone, and he was afraid that he would delay his future, so he took advantage of Lanxi's distance from Beijing, and went back and forth for at least a month, striving for a temporary truce after the second month of the month, so that he could concentrate on taking the exam." ”

Ruan Qingyan's plan, of course, Qiu Yulan is also very clear, but she doesn't admit it to Jiang Yashuang: "Two letters are always more credible than one." Moreover, the uncle was unfilial to his grandmother, and when his grandmother went, his grandmother's maiden family should be told in a reasonable way. ”

"With such a hand, he got out for the time being, but he kept our Jiang family busy." Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "Do you know that on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the court meeting has not yet dispersed, and several of my brothers have been sent to Lanxi to escort the letter and the Lian family to the north?" ”

"This ......"

Jiang Yashuang said: "In just ten days now, my family has killed and injured dozens of people!" ”

“…… You shouldn't have come to my cousin Xingshi specifically to ask him about his crimes, right? Qiu Yulan frowned and said suspiciously.

"Do you know where this cousin of yours comes from?" Jiang Yashuang asked noncommittally.

Qiu Yulan thought for a moment before saying: "My grandfather's son from the old department, because he is favored by his biological father, he can't be tolerated by his mother and brother, so——"

"He was lifted at the age of seventeen, even if his mother and brother can't tolerate him, as long as the elders in the clan are not dead, how can he abandon his family and succeed?" Jiang Yashuang smiled faintly, but his eyes were cold and without a smile, "And after he arrived at the Ruan family, he immediately became extremely attentive to the county lord, and regarded him as a pearl in his palm, does the county lord think that there will be such a thing in the world?" ”

Qiu Yulan muttered: "Are you saying that my father didn't actually die back then, this cousin is the son born to my father after he faked his death, and he is a half-father with me, so he is so good to me?" Oh, that's not right, he's supposed to be my brother—is he my father? It's just that there's a way to stay there—"

Jiang Yashuang looked at her strangely, and said after a while: "The eldest son of General Ruan, who is your eldest uncle, was a well-known fear of guilt in Beijing back then!" One year, he was put on the hook by his colleagues, and he took a fancy to a Qingqi man who was beautiful and fragrant, and he really liked it, so he hid it from your aunt and placed him in an outer room. But then the East Window Incident happened, and your eldest uncle was swept all the way to the street by your eldest aunt and dust, and the joke spread in Beijing for several years......"

"Of course, the outer chamber of the country is not immune, it is said that your eldest aunt was going to kill her to vent her anger, but because of her beauty, when she dragged her out of the house, she was seen by a rich merchant passing by and exchanged it for a pearl - if the outer chamber was pregnant at the time, it should be about the same age as your cousin."

Qiu Yulan frowned, Jiang Yashuang was right, Ruan Qingyan would not have too much reading talent, how could he easily let him succeed, even if it was his so-called biological father's old boss?

But if you know that he is not the blood and blood of your own family, but the Ruan family is recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, it is not strange not to stop him. Even the so-called mother-in-law and brother-in-law can't tolerate him, but it is actually a fulfillment - the eldest lady of the Ruan family was jealous back then, and the eldest lady of the Ruan family was afraid of his wife, and he loved the blood of the Ruan family born after the outer room was sold, so he didn't dare to take it home to raise it, and it was logical to quietly entrust it to his father's old department.

Thinking of Ruan Qingyan's complicated expression when he didn't hesitate to send Princess Ruan to the end of his life and cousins when they met for the first time, Qiu Yulan believed eighty percent, but she couldn't bear Jiang Yashuang's intention to tell her about these things, so she tentatively said: "So what? I'll call him cousin anyway. ”

"Eleven years ago, General Ruan was defeated in Northern Xinjiang, and his two sons and three grandchildren, as well as the king of Lingzun Xihe, all died on the battlefield!" Jiang Yashuang smiled indifferently, "The news has been transmitted back to Beijing, I won't talk about the changes in the Xihe Palace, the second lady of the Ruan family is not in good health, and she died before this accident, and your second uncle hasn't had time to continue before he goes to the battlefield...... Although your eldest aunt manages your eldest uncle tightly, the love between husband and wife is very deep, knowing that after the death of her husband and son, your eldest aunt directly hangs the beam......

Speaking of this, he paused, but Qiu Yulan already understood what he meant - eleven years ago, the eldest lady of the Ruan family, who was not allowed to mess with flowers and grass, died, and the Ruan family was also extinct at that time, why didn't Ruan Qingyan come back at that time?

If he had come back at that time, although the Ruan family had also begun to decline rapidly at that time, at least General Ruan was in good health and could pave the way for him.

More importantly, the reason why the Ruan family fell to the point where it is now is directly related to General Ruan's own defeat, his children and grandchildren are all dead, his wife and daughter-in-law committed suicide because they couldn't stand the bad news, and after such a big blow, General Ruan can still survive alone, instead of choosing to go to Huangquan with his wife and descendants, his mind is already very resolute.

Although he still has a daughter and a granddaughter, how can he compare with his own family's blood and bones? In my memory, when General Ruan was still able to get up, although he was very kind to Qiu Yulan, there was always a death-like loneliness and deep sorrow in the depths of his eyes.

If he had a grandson when he was good, maybe it would have been different—people with hope are always different.

"Looking at my cousin taking care of my grandfather, it's not like I have a grudge against the Ruan family because I have been away for many years...... So why did he only come back last year? Qiu Yulan groaned in his heart, and said to Jiang Yashuang: "The little general pays attention to his cousin like this, but he doesn't know what his plans are?" ”

Jiang Yashuang coughed lightly and said, "After the county lord is filial, if you feel that you can't get along with the children under the knee of King Xihe, you can come to my house to play." ”

Before his words fell, Qiu Yulan's face had already sunk, and he said coldly: "Little general, please respect yourself!" Although I am grateful to my cousin for his maintenance these days, I would rather return the favor with my life than ...... for him" The beast in her heart ran wildly - didn't this guy always follow the gentle and elegant route of a good son before? Is this what he really is?! I used to hide too deeply!

Jiang Yashuang's handsome face turned red all of a sudden, and he said in embarrassment: "County Lord-where did you think of going?!" It's my two sisters who haven't allowed anyone else, uh, I'm speaking on their behalf! ”

Sister? What did Miss Jiang Banchao's daughter invite me to do? Or about the end of mother's filial piety in two years?

Qiu Yulan thought about it for a while, and noticed Jiang Yashuang's emphasis on "unpromised people" - did he fancy his cousin Ruan Qingyan?

It's no wonder you have to find out the details!

Qiu Yulan breathed a sigh of relief and introduced enthusiastically: "Regardless of whether my cousin is of Ruan family blood or not, but to General Ruan and me, it is like a cousin's bloodline. With this, his character is not comparable to few people - even if it is his grandfather, it is right to honor his elders, I am just his cousin, and he treats me like his own sister! ”

Marrying Bai Fumei of the level of Miss Jiang's family, Ruan Qingyan will definitely struggle for twenty years less. Of course, Qiu Yulan has to spare no effort to say good things to him - anyway, I haven't heard that Ruan Qingyan has any true love that will never be abandoned.

"Well, he has been in Beijing for less than half a year, and the two names in Beijing that are most expected to win the name of Oiran this year. The prostitutes have already sipped vinegar for him, but few people can compare to this romance. Jiang Yashuang returned to his normal color, rolled up his sleeves, and said playfully.

"That's all what Ling Xiaohou Ye dragged his cousin to." For Ruan Qingyan's twenty years of struggle, Qiu Yulan immediately dragged Ling Zui out as a scapegoat, and said sadly, "Actually, my cousin doesn't want to go at all!" I'm just afraid of offending the little marquis, so I have to socialize one or two! Little general, please think about it, if my cousin is a person who is greedy for beauty, how could he have won the promotion last year? ”

Jiang Yashuang groaned for a moment and said, "It makes sense......

Outcome!

Before he could finish his words, a subordinate ran in sweating: "County Lord, the name of 'Drinking Spring Building'. The prostitute is deep in the side door and refuses to leave, the housekeeper asks you to go and pass it away! ”
