Chapter Twenty-Three: The Past
Ah Zhu looked at Yuanqi's eyes, and immediately tied up the person and threw him into the carriage.
Yuanqi turned around and was about to get into the car, but was stopped by the divine doctor.
"Where are you going, the medicine is not finished yet."
"Go to the entrance of the village, and meet Wei County Order by the way." Yuan Qi paused before saying, "I'll be back soon." ”
The doctor rolled his eyes and walked into the room in a huff.
Cheng Qingwan looked at the carriage in the distance, and then looked at the miracle doctor who walked in, Yuanqi and the others will come back?
On the carriage, Yuan Qi glanced at Jia Yi, who was half dead, got up and walked outside, and sat with Ah Zhu.
"How's Cheng's investigation?"
"I only found out that there was a thirteen girl in Cheng's Mansion Zhaoxi painting, when the house was raided, this girl was in the Prince's Mansion, and later the officers and soldiers went to look for it and did not find it, but the age was similar to Mrs. Cheng's."
Yuan Qi lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully: "Didn't you find out about Cheng's past?" ”
Ah Zhu shook his head: "Mrs. Cheng said that she was from the capital, but there was no trace of it in the capital. It stands to reason that even if Mrs. Cheng's mother's family is dead, there should be a grave. But our people didn't find any news. ”
Yuan Qi looked at the sky, and suddenly chuckled: "There's no need to check, I guess someone deliberately hid her whereabouts." ”
"But, my lord, doesn't this prove that Mrs. Cheng is indeed suspicious?"
Yuan Qi replied softly: "The Cheng family is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and trafficking the country, and the nine clans should be destroyed, if the Cheng family is really the daughter of the Cheng family, now that the investigation has been revealed, their mother and daughter will definitely die." ”
Ah Zhu immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.
The moon was as bright as day, Cheng Qingwan sat in the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky.
There was a snoring sound from the divine doctor in the house, she rubbed her forehead, looked at the three people sitting in the courtyard with her, and smiled helplessly.
"Wanwan, why don't you go to my house to sleep tonight and leave the house to Lord Yuan, it's almost time, I can't stand it." Song Qiaoqiao yawned and fell on her shoulder.
Cheng Qingwan looked at the two women who were also yawning, and said softly: "It's okay, why did this miracle doctor fall asleep so fast, I just turned my head, and he fell asleep." ”
She stretched and was about to stand up when the black carriage appeared in the courtyard.
Yuanqi and Azhu got out of the carriage and walked towards them.
"What about the miracle doctor?"
Cheng Qingwan pointed to the room, and the earth-shattering snoring never stopped.
"Azhu, go and wake up the divine doctor."
Ah Zhu heard the order and hurriedly walked into the house.
Yuan Qi took out the jade pendant, handed it to the girl in front of him and said, "According to Song Da's words, I found these sold dowries in the pawnshop. ”
Cheng Qingwan took the jade pendant, and before she could look closely, she was taken away by Cheng Hua'er.
"This jade pendant has finally been found, so I'll take it and put it away."
Yuan Qi looked at her actions, smiled lightly, and said to the girl, "Do you know what words are written on the jade pendant?" ”
Cheng Qingwan frowned, she didn't know the ancient text, of course she didn't know, so she shook her head.
"Yuanlan, a name that means excellent." Yuan Qi's words were said to the girl, but his eyes looked at the woman who turned around: "I think the last Cheng Shangshu's wife used these two words, Xie Yuanlan." ”
Cheng Hua'er listened to the name, paused, and then walked into the house quickly.
Cheng Qingwan was confused, and she didn't even know how to pull up Shangshu properly, and even said the surname of his wife.
Yuan Qi watched the divine doctor come out, and said softly to the girl: "It's not early, I'll take the divine doctor back first." ”
Cheng Qingwan nodded and sent the person away with a smile on her face.
As soon as the person left, he immediately collapsed his face and walked back to the room with a yawn.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that Cheng Hua'er had already slept with Aunt Liu, and I didn't think much about it, so I went straight to the cubicle, lay down next to Song Qiaoqiao, and fell asleep after a while.
When she got up on the second day, Cheng Hua'er was sick, I don't know if she caught a cold last night, but the old illness recurred and coughed up blood.
Cheng Qingwan boiled the medicine, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became. Since taking the medicine of the miracle doctor, A-Niang has not been sick for more than half a year. Even if the cold wind is blowing outside, it has never been like today, and the old disease has recurred.
She thought about it, but she still had to ask the doctor to come and see it again.
"Wanwan, is it cooking wheat rice or wheat porridge this morning?" Song Qiaoqiao poked her head out of the kitchen and asked.
"Wheat porridge and corn."
When Song Qiaoqiao heard the answer, she hurriedly went into the house to work.
After a while, Cheng Qingwan brought the boiled medicine into the house and fed the woman to drink.
"I'm sorry for you, Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu shook her head and said with a smile: "What's the trouble, the silver that my husband buried before was still given to me by your aunt, I have a rare opportunity to take care of her, so I should repay this favor." ”
"What did you remember so well from a few years ago?" Cheng Hua'er said sickly.
Cheng Qingwan looked at the sensational appearance of these two people, turned around and walked out with a medicine bowl.
She looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, and her eyes were somehow sour.
By the time the carriage came, Cheng Qingwan had already put today's wheat rice and corn into a bucket.
Ah Zhu stepped down from the carriage and said, "My lord still has some things at the entrance of the village, so let me pick you up." ”
Cheng Qingwan nodded, and the three of them worked together to carry things onto the carriage.
She walked into the house, explained a few words to the woman inside, and got into the carriage with Song Qiaoqiao.
After Song Qiaoqiao got into the carriage, she was like a needle prick and restless.
"What's wrong?"
"I've never done this carriage so luxuriously." Song Qiaoqiao said with a red face.
Cheng Qingwan was stunned when she heard this, and looked up at the carriage.
The space is very large, the decoration is mainly black, there are soft cushions on both the main and secondary seats, and the black blankets on the feet are also very soft. On the far right side of the main seat, there is a bead.
There is a table in the middle, with pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and scrolls on one side, and incense on the other.
Cheng Qingwan didn't know what kind of incense it was, but it smelled very comfortable.
The first two times I took the carriage, I was in a hurry, and I didn't look carefully at the decoration inside.
Looking at it now, it is really from a famous family.
"Tsk, when I have money, I'll have to buy a carriage like this."
When Song Qiaoqiao heard this, she immediately remembered the corn piled up in the cellar: "Wanwan, what are you going to do with the corn in the cellar, it won't be fresh in a few days." ”
"I can't enter the city now, so I'll give it to the refugees. Soybeans, you can store them for as long as you want, but it's really not good, I made them into tofu and sold them. ”
Song Qiaoqiao responded: "Then we have eaten corn for the past two days, we have five hundred catties of corn." ”
Cheng Qingwan choked on saliva, hurriedly took a book, covered her face, and glanced at it casually, but found that she didn't know a word, so she hurriedly put it down.
Song Qiaoqiao looked at this scene, smiled lightly, and then turned her eyes away.
Soon they arrived at the entrance of the village, and as soon as the two got off the carriage, officers and soldiers came to carry them, and they were not needed at all.
Cheng Qingwan looked at Yuanqi not far away, walked over quickly, and was about to speak, only to find that there was a person standing in front of him.
"Who is this?"
"This is the girl of the Cheng family, and she has made all the meals these days." Yuan Qi said softly: "Miss Cheng, this is the Wei County Order. ”
"Wei County's order is good."
Wei Xianling was slightly stunned, and then nodded with a smile: "Presumably Miss Cheng and Master Yuan have something to say, so I'll go over there to see the refugees first." ”
Yuan Qi nodded slightly, watching him walk away, and then lowered his head to look at the person in front of him.
"Miss Cheng, what's the matter?"
"I just wanted to ask how the town is going, when can I get into the city?"
"The town is very good, there are no refugees in it, but they can't get in yet, I'm afraid we won't be able to go until the epidemic passes."
Cheng Qingwan bit her lower lip when she heard this, although she had hundreds of catties of grain in the cellar and would not starve to death, the tomatoes planted would ripen in a few days, and the corn could still be eaten by the refugees, but the price of tomatoes was expensive, and she was thinking of selling them for money.
Yuan Qi looked at her with a sad face, and didn't speak for a long time, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"In a few days, the tomatoes in my field will be ripe, and I want to bring them to the town to sell."
"Tomato ??!"
Cheng Qingwan looked at the surprised look of the person in front of her and nodded slowly.
"Tomatoes are a tribute from the feudal kingdom, and they are only three or four catties a year, only for the royal family, how did you grow them?"
Yuanqi's excited voice couldn't help but rise, grabbed her wrist, and asked.
"I just bought the seeds from the vendor by chance, and when I saw that there was nothing special, I planted them." Cheng Qingwan wanted to retract her hand, but she was dragged to death.
"What vendor, do you remember?" Yuan Qi's eyes lit up at the moment, and he couldn't wait for her to draw that person now, and even his hands couldn't help but use a little strength.
"Yuan-sama!" Cheng Qingwan exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly said, "Later, you go to my house to see if it is really a tribute tomato, maybe the vendor deceived me." ”
Yuan Qi calmed down when he heard this, looked at the slender wrist in his hand, and quickly let go of his hand: "Miss Cheng's forgiveness, it's my rudeness." ”
Cheng Qingwan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "It's okay, let's go to our house later, don't make a mistake." I've never seen a tribute tomato, and I don't know if the trader is lying to me. ”
"Later, I'll go back with you."
Yuan Qi looked at her at this moment, his eyes glowing, just like seeing a rare treasure.
The divine doctor in the distance watched the interaction between the two people, with a smile on his aunt's face, and he didn't forget to share it with Wei Xianling beside him.
Wei Xian touched his beard and smiled at Yinghe: "Lang is talented and beautiful." ”
After a while, Meng realized that "It's just that Miss Cheng is from a small family, and I'm afraid Mrs. Yuan won't agree." ”
"Yuanqi has not been afraid of the sky since he was a child, and he doesn't even necessarily listen to his biological mother's words, and he still listens to this stepmother's words?" The divine doctor snorted coldly: "The old lady doesn't care about things, she blindly dotes on her, and my father naturally follows his mind because of the debt in his heart." Look at it, these two will definitely make it. ”
If Cheng Qingwan heard this, she would definitely vomit blood, and in such an embarrassing atmosphere between the two of them, there was no one who could think of the love between men and women......
