"Uncle Shi said that this man secretly belongs to King Rui." Qian Fu looked worried.
"It's not surprising. After all, King Rui has been in control of Jiangnan for five years. If the historians were the only ones to take advantage of this, it would be too conspicuous and would choke them."
Qian Fu suddenly understood, "I hope that Mr. and Mrs. Shi can come to Beijing as soon as possible, so that the young lady will have a companion in Beijing."
Qingguan smiled and said, "Even if they enter Beijing, I won't be able to get out."
Qian Fu was startled and said: "Does the young lady plan to live in the inner house and no longer practice medicine in the capital? Doesn't it mean that she has failed to live up to the good medical skills that the young lady has learned so hard?"
Qingguan sighed softly and whispered: "Uncle Fu, Beijing is not as good as Jiangnan. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. At this time, it is safest to hide in the dark. Now... we have found a big tree Tree, I don’t know if that big tree can protect us from the wind and rain for a while.”
Zhao Jingyan, who was called Big Tree by Qingwan, was occupying Master Jiang Qi's study at this time and smashed the fan on A Li's head.
A Li, who was thrown out of his bag, didn't show any anger at all, and said calmly: "Master, there are eighteen concubines in the house, and every day they have to spend a lot of money on rouge, gouache, silk and satin, jewelry, and various supplements. In addition, I eat, drink, have fun, socialize, exchange favors, and have banquets in the house... "
"Shut up." Zhao Jingyan felt a headache from hearing this.
A Li couldn't help but murmured: "This doesn't even include the money from Kuang's brothel."
"roll!"
With an angry look on her face, Zhao Jingyan couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the inkstone on the desk and smashed it.
A Li avoided it as lightly as a goose.
Jiang Hongwen couldn't stand it anymore, stroking his forehead and sighed: "Why are you so angry at A Li? He didn't spend a penny on you. Your house... ugh... it's so smoky that it's unsightly."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingyan slumped down in the Grand Master's chair, her mouth twitching, with a look of helplessness on her face.
After a long while, he sighed: "Please report the accounts over there to me."
A Li carefully took out a thin booklet from his arms, turned the last page, looked at the numbers on it, and said: "Master, there are less than two thousand taels left. I don't know if it will be enough for next month's expenses. "
Zhao Jingyan waved her hands in disgust and said with a gloomy face: "I am the longevity king, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon. All my belongings are not as good as a fraction of Jiang Qingwan's. Hongwen, I am so ashamed and angry that I am dying of shame."
Jiang Hongwen's usually expressionless face actually showed a smile: "Tinglin, you still have two thousand taels. Master Qi, after this new year, I only have two hundred taels left. I'm almost losing money. "
As soon as Zhao Jingyan heard this, she became very angry and cursed: "Can't you win some money for me? The fifty thousand taels of silver will be gone if you don't?"
Jiang Hongwen scolded back: "If I win, will you bear the name of the money-spreading boy Jiang Buju? Besides, I didn't lose the fifty thousand taels. Qi Ye, I lost my own money." ”
Zhao Jingyan beat her chest and screamed twice in anger, and suddenly looked at A Li with a sharp light in her eyes.
Ah Li understood and whistled softly.
Two secret guards hidden in the trees in the yard jumped down and guarded the door of the study on the left and right.
Jiang Hongwen saw that his face changed faster than the blink of an eye, and sneered: "You have mastered the skills on your face now."
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him indifferently and said sternly: "The expenses in the mansion can't support it anymore. I went to see him a while ago, and he didn't even have any new clothes for the New Year. It's really shabby."
Jiang Hongwen sighed in a low voice: "Our side can't sustain it for long. If this continues, it's not an option."
A Li interrupted in a low voice: "Sir, Miss Six said that the money from Qingfengtang will be sent to us."
Zhao Jingyan seemed to be dissatisfied with A Li mentioning the words "Sixth Miss". He glared and said, "Hongwen, I have figured out how to use her."
"How to use?"
"Marry home."
Jiang Hongwen was startled and hurriedly asked: "Whose idea is it?"
Zhao Jingyan came closer and said, "My idea."
"Marry home, and then what?"
"Then take care of the palace for me and make money. After I sleep with her, I will use her intelligence to make suggestions for us."
Zhao Jingyan said with a bad smile, "The most important thing is that she has good medical skills."
Jiang Hongwen said worriedly: "I think this sixth lady doesn't have a good impression of you. What if they..."
"I am the longevity king. Although I am poor, I am still a prince. For her, a daughter of a few grades of history, to be able to marry me and become a princess is a blessing she earned in her previous life."
Jiang Hongwen laughed twice as an answer. Suddenly, something seemed to flash in his mind. He grabbed Zhao Jingyan's arm and said quickly: "She used to be a fool."
"A former fool is no match for the prince who has long since become useless. Do you think this will make people feel at ease?"
Jiang Hongwen frowned and thought: "It's enough to make people feel reassured. It's just that the identity is too mismatched, and others don't believe it."
Zhao Jingyan's face paused and she said calmly: "I heard that she has a dowry of one hundred thousand taels. I am a dandy prince, and my family is extremely poor. I still have to support eighteen concubines. What if I want these one hundred thousand taels? ?”
"What a good idea. This makes sense." A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Hongwen's eyes.
A Li, who was standing at the door, quickly glanced at his master. For some reason, he began to sympathize with Miss Six.
A smart and beautiful person like the Sixth Miss, with a pitiable background and a haircut, was targeted by her master. She was like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
Not good, very bad.
Zhao Jingyan didn't know what A Li was thinking, so she let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Tinglin, I can't sleep at night because of this matter."
Jiang Hongwen lowered his head suspiciously and looked into his eyes: "You... can't be true... are you tempted?"
Zhao Jingyan's face turned red and she said uneasily: "How is that possible!"
Jiang Hongwen stopped laughing and said: "Since you have made up your mind, you have to carefully consider this matter in detail."
"Master, the Sixth Miss is fourteen this year, and you are almost weak." A Li decided to use his meager strength to speak justice for the Sixth Miss.
Zhao and Jiang both turned their heads at the same time and looked at him sinisterly, fire erupting from their four eyes.
A Li's head lowered little by little, until finally, even his neck disappeared.
Qingguan, the little fat sheep who was remembered by others, had just sent away Qian Fu and Yin Deng. After being washed by Chunni, he lay in the pit and read a medical book.
Chunni picked out the wick with a poke and said, "Miss, it's time to sleep."
Qingguan shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy. I'll watch it for a while."
"What's so interesting about this medical book? Those words are repeated back and forth. I don't know how many times I've read it, but I know it by heart."
Qingguan laughed angrily and said: "Silly girl, there is so much knowledge in this medical book. Every time you diagnose a patient, you will have some enlightenment if you look back and think about it. If you are sleepy, go to sleep first."
Chunni yawned and said, "Miss, we have to stay in this mansion for seven days. This is too long, and there is nothing to do."
Qingwan smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, practice those few words, just like a dog crawling."
Chun Nihun said nonchalantly: "I am a servant, what kind of calligraphy do I need to practice? My lady is the one who praises me for being able to read."
Qingguan smiled. I don't like practicing calligraphy either, so it's no wonder Chunni imitates her. After laughing, she slowly immersed herself in the medical book.
The condition of the ancestor of the Jiang family was actually not optimistic. Even if the acupuncture treatment for seven days continued, it would only have a palliative effect. She had to study it carefully.
At the end of the moon, Chunni saw that there was still light in the inner room after a nap, so she got up and added some silver frost charcoal to the brazier, and poured a cup of hot tea for the young lady, before she fainted and fell asleep.
Early the next morning.
Qingguan had just stood up when a maid replied.
"Miss Sixth, the three masters and ladies from the mansion are here."
Qingguan was startled and hurriedly dressed up to go out. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a large group of people entering.
Qingguan welcomed the people in respectfully and stepped forward to salute one by one.
Jiang Ruizu, the great master of Jiang Dynasty, was about to reach the age when he knew his destiny. He was extremely talented and learned a lot. He was a well-deserved Confucian scholar.
He smiled gently and said: "Girl, I will repay the favor to the Jiang family in the future. Don't worry, girl, the matter has been explained and it will not be difficult for the girl."
There was something in the words, but Qingguan could hear it clearly. As the sixth lady of the Gu family, the Jiang family will not let the news out.
Qingwan stood up and gave a deep blessing to express her gratitude.
If in the previous life, I saw Chiang offering wine, I would probably have to kowtow according to my seniority. Today, this blessing is extremely simple.
The eldest man glanced at his two younger brothers, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Young lady is very skilled in medicine. My ancestors have been sick for a long time."
Qingguan didn't dare to take the big shot, and said softly: "Master, ladies, please rest assured, I will do my best. It's just..."
"Girl, you just say you are defenseless."
"The disease of our ancestors requires four parts of treatment and six parts of nourishment. If it is properly taken care of, it can last for a long time. If it is not taken care of properly, it is a big taboo. Don't let her have her own way anymore."
This statement couldn't be more clear, and the hearts of everyone sitting there felt a little thumped.
Mr. Jiang looked moved, and he wanted to praise him a lot, but because of his identity, he only said in a deep voice: "Good boy!"
It is by no means an easy task for Jiang Jijiu to praise him as a "good boy". There are thousands of people in the world who want to be his disciples, but only a few can catch his eye.
And Qing Guan not only caught his eyes, but also made his words full of respect. Everyone in the Jiang family listened and understood clearly in their hearts.
"Good boy, I have an uninvited request. My master has had a poor appetite recently. I wonder if you can take his pulse." The speaker was the eldest lady, Mrs. Zhang.
"Yes, my husband has been complaining of backache recently." Second Lady Zhao said with a gentle smile.
The words were made so obvious that Qingguan had no choice but to agree.
"Masters, if Madam is fine, I will allow Qingguan to check your pulse."
"Very good!"
The third lady, Mrs. Han, stood up directly, walked to Qingguan, took her hand and said, "She is really enthusiastic." Qingguan smiled faintly and said, "Chunni, prepare the pen and ink."
