Qi Ning looked solemn along the way. After returning to the Hou Mansion, he first found Gu Qinghan.
Gu Qinghan has not been idle these days. The last time he went to his old house, a huge change occurred. The old manager Qi Hong is still recuperating in Jingzhou City. He is already old and suffered a big change. It is difficult for me physically and mentally to be qualified for the position of manager of the old house.
The foundation of Jinyihou Mansion is in Jiangling, and the bloodline that maintains it comes from the feudal city.
Gu Qinghan naturally knew that after what happened last time, the fiefdom would naturally need to be reorganized, and the old house would also need to choose a new general manager to take care of various affairs in the fiefdom.
In fact, the Jinyihou Mansion is not short of capable talents, and there are many capable people in the fief. In the past few days, Gu Qinghan is preparing to select a new general manager to manage the fief, and in addition, he has to reorganize the previous accounts.
The judge whose pseudonym is Zhao Yuan has been at the old house for three years and has been in control of the old house's accounts. They are in a mess. It is not easy to sort them out now.
When Qi Ning found Gu Qinghan, Gu Qinghan was still doing the accounting in the accounting room. He was a little surprised when he saw Qi Ning hurried over and asked, "Why are you back so soon?"
Qin Ning went to the Qinhuai River. She naturally knew it. Last time she heard about Zhuo Xianer's miserable situation from Qin Ning's mouth. She sympathized with her and allowed Qin Ning to go to the Qinhuai River occasionally to take care of her. But Qin Ning really She was going to go, but she always felt a little uncomfortable. At this time, when she saw Qining coming back early, she felt a little happy for some reason.
Along the way, what Qining was most worried about was that the Jinyi Hou Mansion also suffered from the same disease.
What happened on the boat tonight shocked Qining. On the way back, he kept thinking about it, but he also figured out some clues.
The first time I saw this symptom was probably in Jishi Hall. At that time, two beggars sought medical treatment at Jishi Hall, but were turned away because they had no money to see a doctor. Qining came forward to solve the problem. At that time, he saw the patient , dense red spots appeared on my arms, and some of the red spots even had blisters.
Although Qi Ning felt that the illness was not serious at that time, he did not think much about it.
However, I saw Xu Qian's illness on the boat today, which was very similar to that of the Beggar Clan disciple I saw last night. I knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the Beggar Clan disciple I saw last night should also be suffering from the same illness. .
There is no doubt that a strange disease is spreading silently in the capital at this time. This disease is extremely contagious, as can be seen from the number of people infected on the boat.
If Qining hadn't happened to see it on the boat tonight, maybe he wouldn't have discovered that such a disease was spreading.
Qi Ning had no idea at this time how far the disease had spread, let alone how many people were infected.
But one thing he could vaguely tell was that this infectious disease was extremely threatening and could even make people lose their minds and become crazy and violent.
Gu Qinghan saw Qin Ning's solemn look, which was a little strange. He saw Qin Ning walking directly in front of her, stretched out his hand, and already grabbed one of her jade-like wrists in his hand.
Gu Qinghan's pretty face changed, and she lost her voice: "You... what are you doing?" He never expected that Qining would be so bold.
Qi Ning said in a deep voice: "Don't move!"
"You... are presumptuous!" Gu Qinghan saw him grabbing her wrist and lifting up her sleeve with the other hand. She was shocked and angry: "Are you crazy? Stop it." After struggling twice, her breasts were messed up. His pretty face was trembling with anger. He thought it was Qining having a drunken attack, but when he saw that there was no alcohol color on his face or the smell of alcohol on his body, he was horrified, wondering if this kid was going to faint
Gu Qinghan is a person who has come before, and is naturally extremely sensitive to matters between men and women. She has naturally noticed that Qining's feelings for her are no longer what they used to be. They are no longer just a simple relationship between aunt and nephew, although Qining has become very mature. Careful, but still showing the affection a man has for a woman from time to time.
Gu Qinghan originally only cared about Qi Ning, but for some reason, the affection Qi Ning occasionally showed these days made Gu Qinghan's heart sometimes feel ripples. Of course, she knew that this kind of affection must not be allowed to spread. Therefore, compared to before, I have been as careful as possible in my contact with Qining.
Although she knew that Qi Ning had some thoughts about her, Qi Ning was usually well-behaved and did not do anything too transgressive, which made Gu Qinghan slightly relieved. She thought that living under the same roof, if Qi Ning really Having some thoughts about oneself is also the youthful impulse of young people, and it is not impossible to fully understand them.
As long as Qi Ning can stick to the bottom line and not go too far, this feeling will gradually dissipate when he gets married and has a wife.
But now Qi Ning grabs his wrist and pulls his sleeves when he comes in. Gu Qinghan is frightened and knows that he must not yell at this time to let others see.
She knew Qining's feelings for her, but everyone else in the house was ignorant. If anyone saw Qining like this, the consequences would be disastrous.
But she also knew that she must not really let Qi Ning succeed, so although Qi Ning just pulled her sleeves, she tried her best to shake her arms to resist, with an angry look on her pretty face and said: "Let go now, if you don't let me go, I will ... Am I really angry? I want others to see me."
Qi Ning was startled, and suddenly realized that because he was too worried, he had lost his sense of proportion. No wonder Gu Qinghan was so resistant and said hurriedly: "Sanniang, don't move, I'm seeing a doctor!"
"See a doctor?" Gu Qinghan was stunned and paused. At this moment, Qining had already opened her sleeves.
Under the sleeves, there is a pink jade arm that defies frost and snow. It is crystal clear and moist, and is extremely tender. Qining took a look through the light and saw that the white jade on the arm was flawless without a single flaw. He felt so Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Qinghan's skin is smooth and smooth, and any spots or blemishes can be seen at a glance.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then let go of his hand, took two steps back, sat down on a chair next to him, and murmured: "Not bad, not bad!"
Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why. He lowered his head and saw that his pink jade arms were glowing with a dazzling white light under the light. He hurriedly pulled off his sleeves, frowned, stared at Qining, and said angrily: "What on earth are you going to do?" What? You...you are so bold."
Seeing that Gu Qinghan's hands were flawless, Qining felt relieved. He didn't care about Gu Qinghan's tone, but frowned and said, "Sanniang, please put down the accounts first. There is one more thing we must do right away."
Seeing Qi Ning's calm expression, Gu Qinghan didn't look like he was coming to bully her. He vaguely felt that he had indeed misunderstood. He took a step forward and asked softly: "Ning'er, is it... is something wrong?"
Qi Ning nodded and did not hide anything. He briefly told Gu Qinghan about seeing someone falling ill on the boat. As for the incident of almost killing Zhuo Xianer, of course he did not dare to mention a word.
Only then did Gu Qinghan understand why Qi Ning suddenly lost his composure today, but his heart felt warm. He knew that this kid would pull open his sleeves as soon as he came in. It was not to take advantage of him, but to immediately confirm whether he was being raped. Infection shows the importance of his position in his heart.
It seems that I have a villain's heart and a gentleman's heart. Thinking that I always suspect that Qining is plotting something against me, I feel a little apologetic, but I feel my cheeks are a little hot. I secretly think that Ning'er doesn't mean this, on the contrary. He couldn't let it go, so his voice softened and he asked: "Ning'er, you said there is a disease spreading. Is it because there is a plague in the capital?"
"Plague?" Qining looked at Gu Qinghan with a serious expression.
Gu Qinghan said: "I heard people say that once the plague occurs, it will spread everywhere. Even if you say a word to the patient, you may be infected, let alone contact each other." The beautiful eyebrows frowned and said worriedly: "But How could a plague suddenly break out in the capital?"
"The two most important things now are: the first thing is to control the spread of the disease, and the second thing is to quickly find a cure for the disease." Qining said: "Sanniang, I have seen people who are sick. It’s very scary, and once infected, the disease develops very quickly and will break out within just a few days.”
"But how can this disease be controlled?" Gu Qinghan frowned and realized the seriousness of the problem: "We don't know who first became ill, how it spread, and we don't know how many people are suffering from it now. Even if you want to control the infection, there is no way to control it. People are already infected in the Qinhuai River, and there are so many people coming and going there every day. I am only worried that people are already infected in the streets and alleys of the capital."
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "That's right. The most terrifying thing is that the court seems to have not discovered this yet. Of course, the sooner this disease can be controlled, the better. I have asked Duan Canghai to go to the Shenhou Mansion to inform this matter." He stood up and said: "Sanniang, please quickly gather everyone in the house to check whether anyone is infected, especially those who have recently left the Hou Mansion. Check carefully. If anyone is really infected, isolate them immediately. .”
"Okay, I'll do it now." Gu Qinghan knew that the situation was urgent and said hurriedly: "Ning'er, don't go out for the time being."
Qi Ning smiled softly and said, "Sanniang, don't worry about me, nothing will happen." He sighed, "I just hope that I can survive this disaster safely." When he turned to leave, Gu Qinghan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Where are you going? "
"I'm going to find Miss Tang." Qi Ning turned around and said, "Miss Tang's medical skills are beyond the reach of ordinary doctors. I want to inform her about this matter and see if she can deal with it."
Only then did Gu Qinghan remember that there was Tang Nuo in the Hou Mansion.
Although Tang Nuo went to Yong'an Hall every day, he still stayed at the Marquis Mansion at night. Jinyi Marquis Mansion had many courtyards, so it was easy to arrange a separate courtyard for Tang Nuo.
"Yes, Miss Tang will come back before dark every day for the past two days, but she will not come out when she returns to the yard." Gu Qinghan said: "I sent someone to treat her to dinner, but she just let them stay in her room. I heard She went to bed very late these two nights, and the lights were still lit in the middle of the night. Ning'er, do you think Miss Tang can't adapt to life in Beijing?"
