"You rescued the queen mother?!"
Qin Shu asked in disbelief, Qin Wan nodded again upon hearing that.
Qin Yan smiled and said, "Don't say that father doesn't believe it, even when I received Jiumei just now, I didn't believe it either."
Qin Yan said again, "Father, let's go into the house!"
Only then did Qin Shu come to his senses, and quickly turned around to get out of the way, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's talk first!"
Just now Qin Wan followed Qin Shu into the house, the fire was warm in the room, Hu and Qin Chaoyu also looked at Qin Wan with burning eyes, Hu hurriedly said, "Guan'er, what's going on, tell me quickly? "
Qin Wan bent her lips and said, "When we arrived at Shoukang Palace, there was indeed something wrong with the empress dowager, but she was rescued. I prescribed a prescription to stay in the palace. As long as the medicine is given on time, the empress dowager will be fine."
After Qin Wan finished speaking with a firm expression, Qin Shu and the Hu family heaved a sigh of relief, and Qin Chaoyu also exhaled, "We were so worried that something might happen to you, but we didn't expect you to actually rescue the empress dowager back. gone."
Qin Wan did understand Qin Shu's worries. The Queen Mother's life and death are of great importance. If something goes wrong, the Hou Mansion will also be in danger. Qin Wan said, "Let uncle and aunt worry. I didn't intend to intervene in this matter. But at that time, she was pushed out by Miss Feng's family, and thinking that the Empress Dowager is really critically ill, she went to save her."
Qin Shu smiled gently, "Where did you say that? You couldn't help it at the time. Besides, we didn't know if you could save me, but you should know it in your heart. After this time, we knew that you are so powerful, girl Wan. "
Although Feng Shenbi pushed Qin Wan out at that time, if Qin Wan bluntly said that she could not save her, the emperor would not really let her go as a little girl, but she knew at the time that the imperial physician could not, and that and the imperial physician had not entered the palace for a long time, thinking of the queen mother Being about the same age as Princess Taichang, Qin Wan felt compassion after all, so he took a risk.
"I'm really not very sure today. If it doesn't work out, I will definitely hurt my uncle and my aunt."
Mrs. Hu did have some complaints in her heart earlier, but at this moment, she naturally covered up those small thoughts, "What are you talking about? You three sisters came to the capital, so naturally you are the same as Yu'er. I didn't know you earlier. We are worried about being able to save the Empress Dowager, now that you can save the Empress Dowager, we will all follow you and be honored, we are a family, and we are one in everything we do."
Qin Wan bent her lips, and didn't mention the matter anymore, just looked around, but Qin Shuang and Qin Xiang were not there, "Aren't Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister here?"
Tonight, Qin Wan and his party went to the palace for a banquet. They originally planned to have a reunion dinner with Qin Shuang and Qin Xiang after they came back. Seeing this, Qin Shu said, "The New Year's dinner has been prepared when we come back. We are worried that you are not in the mood For dinner, it will be Chinese New Year if you only accompany Xiang'er and Shuang'er to eat, and they don't know what's going on tonight, so they are also worried, so I told them to go back first."
Qin Wan understood in his heart, and stopped asking, Hu hurriedly said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "If you're not hungry, don't worry, Auntie."
Qin Shu asked, "Guan'er, you saved someone, what did the emperor say?"
"The emperor said that the wind and snow are violent tonight, and that rewards will be sent tomorrow. He also said that depending on the situation tomorrow, he may call me into the palace." Qin Wan said truthfully, and there was no trace of joy in his expression.
Qin Shu couldn't help nodding his head when he saw it from the bottom of his heart, so he just made up his mind that he would definitely be rewarded for such a big matter as saving the Queen Mother. Qin Wan was not an imperial physician in the palace, and this was all due to her.
"Okay, uncle understands, this matter is not only correct, but also helpful to you and our Houfu, Wan girl, you are the lucky star of our Houfu, you have been in the capital for less than half a month, and you have already helped a lot .”
Qin Wan knew what Qin Shu was talking about, "It's just a small thing, it's not considered a help, as long as it doesn't cause trouble to uncle and aunt."
Saying that, Hu took Qin Wan's hand affectionately, "What are you talking about, we are all a family, so there is no trouble."
Qin Wan raised her lips, "Thank you, Auntie."
Seeing this, Qin Shu asked again, "The emperor sent someone to send you back, right? We were going to wait for you, but the empress said you were taken care of and didn't let us wait."
"No, it's His Royal Highness Prince Rui's son. He happened to be leaving the palace too, so the emperor asked him to see me off."
Qin Shu smiled deeply when he heard this, "His Royal Highness Shizi escorted you for a while when you came back, and today is like this, which is very good." Seeing that it was not too late, he said, "You must be tired tonight, so don't worry about it." It's time to watch the new year, go back and rest, tomorrow morning, our family will have a good reunion dinner."
Qin Wan naturally agreed, and Qin Shu asked Qin Yan to send Qin Wan back in person.
As soon as Qin Wan and Qin Yan went out, Hu clapped her hands, "Great! Guan'er is really capable, God bless God, this time Guan'er saved the queen mother, the emperor will definitely read it too." Look after us."
Qin Shu nodded slightly, "Yes, this time Guan'er is very competitive!"
As he spoke, Qin Shu looked at Qin Chaoyu and said, "Yu'er, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Although Qin Chaoyu's hanging heart fell to the ground, his mood was somewhat complicated. Seeing Qin Shu like this, he retreated and turned around to leave the door. As soon as Qin Chaoyu left, Qin Shu wrapped his arms around Hu's waist in a good mood, "Ma'am, let's take a rest early for Chinese New Year today."
Hu's face was slightly red, and he naturally followed Qin Shu to his courtyard.
Qin Chaoyu, who left Renshou Hall, walked very slowly. While walking, he was thinking about Qin Wan tonight. Mo Yi was holding an umbrella beside him. Seeing this, he said, "Miss, what's wrong? Miss Jiu saved the empress dowager, you should be happy." yes."
Qin Chaoyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Of course I should be happy about this matter, but what if she will hinder me in the future?"
Mo Yi was stunned for a moment, and even though he understood, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Miss, what do the master and madam think?"
Mo Yi and the others grew up with Qin Chaoyu since they were young. Although they were servants, they were better educated than ordinary ladies. They knew what Qin Chaoyu was thinking, and they naturally planned for Qin Chaoyu.
Qin Chaoyu sighed when he heard the words, "Father and mother are still for the Qin family. If... one day there is no other way, what can they do..."
Mo Yi hurriedly said, "Tonight is New Year's Eve, Miss, don't think too much, even if Miss Nine is in the limelight, but Empress Empress likes Miss very much in recent years, and so does Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Qin Chaoyu frowned slightly, "His Royal Highness..."
Qin Chaoyu's tone was suspicious and questioning, and after a while, he took a deep breath, "Forget it, tonight, let's not think about these useless things, she promised me herself, if one day she turns back on her promises, I will let her know how great it is."
…
…
On this side, as soon as Qin Wan entered the yard, Fu Ling and Bai Ying rushed out.
"Miss! You are finally back!"
"Miss, why did you take so long—"
As soon as the two saw Qin Wan, they looked up and down, and looked at her left and right. After seeing that she was fine, they even ignored Qin Yan, bowed to Qin Yan, and then dragged Qin Wan into the room.
Qin Yan stood at the gate of the courtyard holding an umbrella, watching Fu Ling and the two hurriedly lead Qin Wan into the house, and faintly, Qin Yan smelled a very fresh smell wafting out of the house.
Before the big day, the kitchen in the mansion would reward the servants with a lot of food, not to mention that the people in Qin Wan's yard would naturally give them what they wanted. Qin Yan knew that this was Fu Ling and the others who were waiting for Qin Wan to celebrate the New Year. The smell of incense made him feel a little hungry, but the master didn't intend to invite him in at all, so Qin Yan could only give up with a wry smile.
"Miss, the servants have been waiting for you for a long time. The master and madam have returned long ago, but they didn't see you. The servants went to ask Madam Yu, and Madam Yu said that you stayed in the palace because of something, but you didn't In the end, what is the matter, the slaves are almost dying of anxiety, Miss, are you starving?"
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Fu Ling talking non-stop. While taking off Qin Wan's cloak, he stuffed a cup of hot tea in Qin Wan's hand. On the other side, several little girls were also waiting in the room to give tea to Qin Wan. Qin Wan saluted.
Then Qin Wan said, "I'm staying in the palace to see the queen mother. I'm fine." Qin Wan breathed slightly, "I wasn't hungry at first, but I was really hungry after smelling such a delicious smell. .”
Fu Ling's eyes lit up, "Do you see a doctor for the Empress Dowager? Miss, hurry up to the Nuan Pavilion and talk while eating."
Qin Wan nodded, and Fu Ling dragged Qin Wan to Nuan Pavilion, only to see that the couch in Nuan Pavilion had been cleaned up, and there was a red copper charcoal fire pot on the side table. The delicious milky white soup boiled in the pot was bubbling. There were more than a dozen delicious dishes around the pot, and there was a pot of warming wine beside it. Qin Wan rescued the Queen Mother tonight. After seeing Yan Chi, even though he was tired, his heart was full. At this moment when he came back from the snow at night, as soon as he entered the house, he saw this copper pot surrounded by a furnace full of heat and delicious fragrance, and immediately felt his index finger move!
"Yeah, did you prepare this?"
Qin Wan was very pleasantly surprised. This way of eating charcoal-fired copper pot is only common in noble families, and it is rare for ordinary people. In the past, Qin Wan's family only had this way of eating after his father was promoted to Dali Temple Minister.
Fu Ling laughed, "Yeah, it was my servant who brought them to prepare. Thinking about the lady saying that we will celebrate the New Year together tonight, this servant thought about what to prepare. Later, I saw that the snow was falling more and more. Big, the servant girl thought, there are not too many people in our room, it would be the best to eat this copper pot together."
As he said that, he walked to the side of the couch. Fu Ling waited on Qin Wan, took off his shoes and got on the couch, and asked Fu Ling to sit on the right seat by the window. On this side, Bai Ying and Fu Ling also took off their shoes and got on the couch, and then a little The two little maids sat on one side, and the remaining two girls moved high stools to sit on the side of the couch. In this way, seven people surrounded the square tightly.
"Miss, these lambs are the freshest and tenderest parts of lambs, and these side dishes are extremely hard to come by, but we don't want much, and Mrs. Fang in the kitchen is very generous. This soup was given to me by her." What we boiled, and this wine, is plum blossom wine brewed by Mrs. Fang herself, and we won't get drunk if we drink it casually."
With that said, Fu Ling poured a glass for Qin Wan first, and then poured a glass for Bai Ying and the other little girls.
Qin Wan didn't drink alcohol at first, but she couldn't help it tonight. She was sitting by the window, and there was wind and snow across the window. Seeing Zizi and six smiling faces, she was so happy, she raised her hand and took a drink, Fuling laughed when she saw this, "You can't do that if you say you're not drunk, miss, let's eat something first."
Qin Wan smacked his lips, the taste of the wine was light, and the fragrance of plum blossoms was also light, but after swallowing it, the sweet aftertaste began to infuse the whole mouth from the throat, Qin Wan was very satisfied, and the corners of his lips raised, "It's delicious ,Continued Cup!"
Fu Ling naturally filled Qin Wan's hands, and Bai Ying had already started to cook for Qin Wan, so Fu Ling asked, "Miss, what's going on tonight?"
As soon as Qin Wan smiled, he briefly talked about treating the Queen Mother. Fu Ling and the others suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked at Qin Wan. After a long while, unable to recover, Fu Ling said, "Miss, you can Heal the empress dowager! It takes a very powerful person to treat the empress dowager!" For Fu Ling, the master in the palace is almost like a fairy.
Having said that, Qin Wan seemed a bit proud, "Isn't your young lady amazing?"
Fu Ling was still sighing in her heart, she hurriedly nodded and said "excellent", Huan'er and the others also agreed.
Qin Wan smiled and didn't want to say more about it, so she looked at Huan'er and the others. Since the four little girls in Huan'er were not familiar with Qin Wan, they felt a little nervous sitting at the same table. Qin Wan Look at the four of them, they are all two years younger than Fu Ling and Bai Ying, but except for one named Huan'er, Qin Wan is not familiar with the other three.
Qin Wan said, "I know about Huan'er. Starting from Huan'er, you guys tell me where you are from, how old you are, how you entered the Hou's mansion, and who else is in the family. Let me know." Know."
Huan'er and the others don't serve Qin Wan on weekdays, and they only see Qin Wan once in a while, so they naturally feel a little in awe of Qin Wan in their hearts, but tonight, Qin Wan let them eat at the same table, other girls would never do this .
Huan'er and the others were grateful, and seeing Qin Wan take the initiative to let them talk at this moment, the panic in their hearts eased a bit, Huan'er straightened his back, and talked about his own affairs first, and when Huan'er finished speaking, it was Yu Yu again. Three girls, Cui'er and Zhu'er, spoke alone, and the remaining six ate while listening. After the four girls finished speaking, they could eat boldly.
After they finished speaking, Qin Wan had a general understanding. Although she didn't like many people serving her alone, since they were in her yard, she knew that if she ignored them, they would have a very miserable life. Because of this, Qin Wan may not be very enthusiastic, but he naturally regards them as his own.
Huan'er and the others were all bought from Renyazi by Hu's order. They are all Qingbai. Except for Huan'er, they all have relatives in the village outside Lin'an City. Because there are too many brothers in the family, they have to sell them. Serving as slaves to wealthy people.
Fu Ling asked again, "How did you get your names?"
Huan'er said embarrassingly, "They were all randomly picked up by the nuns when they entered the mansion. It was said that they were distributed to the girls' yards so that the girls could give them names."
Fu Ling let out a "huh", "Then do you want to change your name?"
Huan'er nodded hurriedly, "The names of Sister Fuling and Sister Baiying are very nice!"
Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan with a smile, "My name was chosen by the second master and the second wife. If you want a new name, you have to ask the lady to change it for you..."
Huan'er hurriedly held up the wine glass, and looked at Qin Wan with pleading eyes, Qin Wan laughed, she drank a few glasses of wine, although she was not drunk, but her heart was burning, Fu Ling said, She put down her chopsticks and said, "Choose a name... how many of you also want names like Fu Ling and Bai Ying?"
Huan'er and the others nodded quickly, and Qin Wan said together, "Fuling's name is a blind medicinal material, and white cherry...Although cherry is a flower, it can also be used as medicine. Then you guys, why don't you follow the name of the medicine?"
Huan'er and the others felt that what Qin Wan said was what they said, and they nodded vigorously again.
Qin Wan thought for a moment, "Huan'er was born in Xia Tian, but her name is Pinellia."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huan'er's eyes lit up, and he murmured a few times softly, and his face was even more joyful, Qin Wan looked at Yu'er, "Yu'er... your name, there is a person who matches, called How about Yuzhu?"
Yu'er nodded quickly, and Qin Wan looked at Cui'er, "Tui'er... has a name that is somewhat similar to your current name. How about your name...Qing Dai?"
Compared with Cui'er, the word "Qing Dai" has a much more artistic conception. Cui'er grinned, naturally full of joy, and Qin Wan looked at Zhu'er, "Zhu'er, you were born in winter, why don't you call it Lonicera?"
Zhu'er also muttered her new name once, and nodded happily while busy.
The four of them got new names, and they all held up their wine glasses to thank Qin Wan, and Qin Wan drank another glass.
In this way, the new names of Pinellia came alive. First they asked what the medicine with their respective names was for, and then they talked about the interesting things they knew in the capital. After talking, they talked about the prince. Enter nobleman.
Although Banxia and the others have not worked elsewhere yet, after they were bought by Ren Yazi, because they looked good, they had to be trained before handing them over to the Madam of the Hou Mansion, so they knew from Ren Yazi All the people I want to go to are aristocratic families, and because there are so many people in Renyazi, the little girl talked about the true and false of the princes and nobles in the capital after coming and going.
As soon as the previous sentence mentioned Prince Rui's Mansion, Qing Dai's eyes lit up and she said she knew.
Fu Ling hurriedly said, "Do you know about Prince Rui's residence?"
Qing Dai nodded and said, "My maidservant heard about it, it was from the nanny of the Renya shop that Prince Rui was the emperor's favorite prince back then, but because he was not a direct descendant, nor was he the eldest son, he had no way to establish a prince, and later became a prince. The current Holy Majesty also said that the princess that Prince Rui married back then was extremely beautiful, and she was the eldest lady of the Lu family in Lanzhou. Prince Rui's Mansion, but within three years of marrying into Prince Rui's Mansion, this Miss Lu passed away, oh yes, when Miss Lu passed away, Princess Rui had just given birth to Prince Rui's son less than two years ago."
As she said that, Qing Dai's face suddenly changed slightly, "I have heard a saying, but I dare not say it..."
When the words "Prince Rui's Mansion" appeared, Qin Wan's thoughts were raised. When Qing Dai spoke, she didn't even move her chopsticks. She knew Yan Chi and Prince Rui, but she had rarely heard of it. About Prince Rui and Concubine Rui, if Qing Dai hadn't told her, Qin Wan would not have known that Prince Rui and Concubine Rui came from the Lu family in Lanzhou.
Lanzhou is in the southeast, very far away from the capital, but this Lanzhou Lu family was the first clan in the previous dynasty. In the Great Qi Dynasty before the Great Zhou Dynasty, this Lanzhou Lu family once had three prime ministers and five Among the queens, four Qi emperors have the blood of the Lu family of Lanzhou. Therefore, it is conceivable that the Lu family of Lanzhou is the real family with extraordinary background.
Later, in the last years of Daqi, Emperor Qi was fatuous and trusting of traitors. At that time, the Lu family probably saw that Daqi's vitality was about to run out, so they resolutely resigned from all positions in the court, and took their clansmen to flee to Lan As expected, within five years after Lu's family left the capital, the Great Qi Dynasty was replaced by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Because the Lu family retreated in time, not only was the Lu family not listed as the old ministers to be exterminated, but the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally invited the Lu family to serve as officials, and continued to promise the position of prime minister, but at that time the Lu family However, the elder has rejected the invitation of Taizu on the grounds that the Lu family will never be an official again. Later, a hundred years later, the Lu family settled down in Lanzhou and opened a school in Lanzhou. The Lu family also focused on teaching and educating people. I was appointed, but never held any official position in the court. Gradually, many people went to study, and they had a high reputation among the poor families of the students, and they became a big hermit clan.
Because of this, it is understandable that the members of Princess Rui's family did not want her to marry into Prince Rui's residence.
But what is Qingdai afraid to say
Fu Ling said helplessly, "We are all our own people, what else can we say? We won't say it."
Fu Ling knew that Qin Wan and Yan Chi were familiar with each other, but they didn't know about Prince Rui's mansion after all. Taking advantage of this opportunity, of course they had to ask more. When she said this, Qing Dai thought for a while and lowered her voice, " The old mother said... when Princess Rui died... there were rumors that it was... that Princess Rui was killed by Prince Rui."
As soon as the words fell, the chopsticks in Fu Ling's hands fell to the skirt with a clatter.
"What... what?" Fu Ling glanced at Qin Wan quickly, "How is that possible?"
Qing Dai's face became a little nervous, "It's not the servant who said it, it's the old nanny, my sister doesn't believe it, ask Huaner...Ask Ban Xia, Ban Xia also knows..."
Ban Xia on the side nodded, "The old mother used to be on duty in the Duke's Mansion, but she came out later and came to educate us slaves, so she knows a lot more."
Fu Ling coughed lightly, seeing that Qin Wan's face was slightly gloomy, she already knew that Qin Wan didn't like this remark, so she hurriedly said, "Prince Rui's son is familiar with our lady, you guys, these words will rot in your stomach from now on, don't let them out said!"
Upon hearing this, Ban Xia and Qing Dai's expressions changed drastically, "Yes, yes, slaves will not dare to talk nonsense anymore."
Fu Ling also felt a little uncomfortable, "I thought it was some kind of fun thing... so... hey, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, these words must be false, come and eat, let's talk about it at another place."
As he spoke, he poured another glass of wine for Qin Wan, "Miss, pretend you haven't heard of it."
Qin Wan held her lips and held up the wine cup, but how could she act as if she had never heard of this
Qing Dai said this was said by the old nanny, and only elderly people know about these things. Qin Wan didn't know if the words were true or not, but at least she affirmed the fact that Yan Chi lost her mother since she was a child.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan's heart sank a little. Although he had just separated not long ago, he still missed Yan Chi a little.
Regardless of whether Qing Dai's words were true or not, since such words could be spread back then, there must be some inside story, and coupled with Yan Chi's injury, Qin Wan seemed to have seen the tip of the iceberg of conspiracy and scheming under the prosperity of the capital...
Fu Ling took the initiative to ask about other things, and the table became lively again after a while. Qin Wan listened to everyone's conversation when he was full, but his mind went away. After a while, the clepsydra in the corner of the room suddenly rang, Xia Huanxi said, "It's the New Year's Eve... Let's keep the New Year's Eve, hurry up, kowtow to Miss..."
Ban Xia dragged a few girls to kowtow, Fu Ling and Bai Ying also went down to the ground to salute, Qin Wan smiled and asked Fu Ling to take the silver as a reward, and then put all the rest of the vegetables into the pot, and the girls a few Next, I ate all the dishes, so that this New Year's feast was from the old year to the New Year. After the meal, Fu Ling poured hot tea for Qin Wan, and ordered a few maids to clean up the table. Qin Wan held a cup of tea. Sitting curled up beside the bed with hot tea, she could vaguely see the heavy snow outside through the window paper.
The two hundred and forty years of the Great Weekly Calendar have just arrived.
…
…
After drinking, Qin Wan slept extremely peacefully that night. When she opened her eyes early the next morning, she heard the sound of paper cannons. After a moment of peace, Qin Wan heard Qin Shuang's voice again.
Qin Wan bent her lips, got up and changed her clothes, and when she came out after washing, she saw that the snow outside had stopped, and Qin Shuang was standing in the snow outside wearing a cloak, covering her ears with her hands, Wan Qing was holding a small The paper cannon was buried in the snow and wanted to light it, but Wan Qing was also afraid, so she leaned sideways and stretched out her hand to try it out, but it didn't light up for a long time!
Fu Ling helped Qin Wan go out, Qin Wan smiled, "You're going to make trouble so early!"
When Qin Shuang saw that Qin Wan had woken up, she immediately lost the intention of firing a cannon, and hurried to Qin Wan, "You still have the nerve to talk about me, we waited for you to have a New Year's dinner last night, tell me, what did you do last night?"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curved slightly, "The Empress Dowager is ill, I went to treat her."
Qin Shuang was stunned, "You said... the Queen Mother?"
Qin Wan nodded, and Qin Shuang was surprised again, "The queen mother will get sick?"
Qin Wan couldn't stop laughing, "The queen mother is also a mortal, so she will naturally get sick."
Qin Shuang hadn't realized it yet, "But that's the Empress Dowager... how could I let you see a doctor? Isn't there an imperial doctor in the palace? Isn't the imperial doctor the most powerful doctor in the world?"
Qin Wan shook his head. The imperial doctor is powerful, but he really can't be said to be the most powerful. "The imperial doctor who happened to see the Queen Mother last night was not in the palace. It was an emergency, so I showed it to the Queen Mother."
Qin Shuang stared blankly at Qin Wan, and suddenly stepped forward and stuffed a sachet into Qin Wan's hand, "Here, this is a New Year's gift for you. Inside is a wish clasp, which is a good omen."
Qin Wan laughed, and looked at Fuling again, Fuling also took out a small jewelry for Qin Shuang, but Qin Shuang hugged Qin Wan's arm very flatteringly, "You are really getting better and better, if you become famous, Don't forget me."
Qin Shuang's dog-legged affection was so sincere that all the little girls in the yard burst into laughter.
Qin Wan pretended to say, "Then you have to please me well."
Qin Shuang snorted softly, but stretched out her hand again, "Come on, come on, I'll help you find our Fifth Sister. The eldest aunt said that the reunion dinner will be when you come back this morning. Let's go to Renshou Hall when we get up."
Qin Wan smiled, but didn't help Qin Wan's hand, just took Qin Wan's hand and put it in his arms. Qin Shuang laughed happily, took Qin Wan's arm and walked out, just left Not far away, he saw Qin Xiang walking in front with Wan He and Xiu Zhi, Qin Shuang yelled, Qin Xiang stopped and turned around.
"Our little fairy doctor is back?"
As soon as Qin Xiang opened her mouth, she felt a little strange, and what she said obviously knew what Qin Wan was doing last night.
Qin Wan smiled and said nothing, only looked at Fu Ling, Fu Ling stepped forward to hand over the annual gift to Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang glanced at it and let Wan He follow, then walked in front, Qin Shuang raised his eyebrows, ready The sachet immediately didn't want to give it away.
The three sisters came to Renshou Hall one by one and two behind. As soon as they approached, they saw a young man in a green robe and a dark blue cloak standing in front of Renshou Hall. Looking at the profile, he was very similar to Qin Shu. Resembling, Qin Wan raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood who was coming, and at the same time, the person turned around and looked at Qin Wan and the three of them.
Seeing Qin Wan and the others, the man had a thin smile on his face, and bowed his hands again, "The three sisters are polite."
Qin Xiang paused, stunned for a moment, and then said, "Fourth brother?"
Qin Ye smiled deeply, "Is this the Fifth Sister? The ones behind are the Sixth Sister and Ninth Sister?"
Qin Ye was one year younger than Qin Yan, and he was born with the same tall and handsome face. However, compared with Qin Yan, Qin Ye was more like a warrior, but even so, he seemed a bit more heroic. When he opened his mouth, his words were clear, and his eyes were much clearer than Qin Yan's, which was so watertight and undetectable. Because of this, Qin Wan could see that the smile on his face did not reach his eyes. Although he looked very kind, but Presumably he didn't feel much closeness to the three sisters.
Qin Wan knew that this fourth brother was a concubine from the Hou's mansion. He went out to do errands earlier, but he didn't know when he came back. After returning to the mansion last night, he didn't see him.
"Fourth brother—"
Qin Wan and Qin Shuang saluted together. Qin Wan looked down and saw mud stains and dampness on Qin Ye's boots, and there were some sweat stains on his cheeks and hairline, as if he had gone to practice early in the morning. Like too.
Just as Qin Wan was thinking, he saw Qin Shu and Hu Shi coming together, followed by Qin Chaoyu and Qin Yan.
Qin Ye raised his eyes and hurried forward to salute, Qin Xiang and the others went to meet the salute together.
Then I heard Qin Ye say, "Father, mother, I came back too late last night. It was Ye'er who missed the hour."
Qin Shu was in a great mood and didn't care at all. He just stepped forward and put his arm around Qin Ye's shoulders, "I've read all the letters you sent back. You've done a great job this time! I'm tired of you. , Rest well when you come back, you didn't come back last night, it just so happened that your ninth sister was delayed last night, and now we have a good reunion dinner as a family."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Wan and the others, "Have you seen them all? Do you recognize them?"
Qin Ye smiled and said, "I have seen it. Father's letter has already been described, and the child can recognize it at a glance."
Qin Shu laughed loudly. Seeing the two of them, Qin Wan felt that Qin Shu was very kind to this concubine. When he turned his eyes to look at Qin Yan, he saw a half-smile in his eyes, and Hu Shi also had a smile on his face. Only Qin Chaoyu didn't seem to care about Qin Ye.
Now that the breakfast has turned into a reunion dinner, it is naturally prepared long ago. Qin Wan and the others entered the room and sat down according to their order. It was the plum blossom rice wine from last night. Qin Shu simply said a few words of congratulations, and everyone started to move. With the addition of Qin Ye, the harmony on the table was even more pleasant. Although this fourth brother didn't talk much, every word It can make Qin Shu smile deeper, and Qin Wan can't help admiring it.
"Happy this year, we have the third brother Guan'er in our house, this year is more lively than previous years."
He said and looked at Qin Ye and Qin Yan, "Yan'er and Ye'er are also good, this year Yan'er should be able to join the Imperial Forest Army, and Yu'er, anyway, we have already had a good start this year because of Guan'er. Throughout the year, we all have to go smoothly."
Qin Ye was not at all surprised by Qin Shu's words, and obviously already knew about Qin Wan.
Qin Yan hurriedly said, "Father, don't worry, the child will prepare well."
Qin Shu nodded, "There have been a lot of things going on in our house this year. I will worry about the two of you. Xiang'er and the others need their aunt to worry about. Both Xiang'er and Shuang'er are grown up. Uncle is really I want to keep you more this year."
As soon as the words came out, the meaning became very clear. Qin Wan glanced at Qin Shuang, only to see that Qin Shuang's cheeks were flushed.
After the new year, Qin Wan and Qin Chaoyu will be seventeen years old, but Qin Xiang and Qin Shuang will be eighteen years old, and Qin Xiang is in the front row. Naturally, her marriage should be considered first. The two discussed marriage in the first half of the year. Getting married in the second half of the year or early next year is the best plan. Qin Chaoyu doesn't want to mention the concubine, and when the three of them are settled, it will be Qin Wan.
Qin Wan felt relieved, no matter how powerful the Hou Mansion was, they would not marry four daughters in one year, and she still had time to think about her father's case, but it happened by mistake, last night she went to save the Queen Mother, And why not for herself.
Because it was a reunion dinner, these topics were unavoidable. However, Qin Shu only touched on the matter of his daughter's family, and then said a few words. Qin Ye said, "Father, what do you think about the child wanting to join the patrol camp?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu's expression became a little pale, and Qin Shu also frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, Qin Shu said, "I will try my best to arrange for you."
Qin Ye smiled brightly, "Okay, thank you father."
As soon as the words were finished, Wu Chao, the housekeeper, suddenly walked in from the outside with a happy expression on his face, "Master Hou! Ma'am! Someone is coming from the palace!"
Qin Shu's eyes lighted up slightly, Yuan Qing had already delivered the New Year's rewards to their manor yesterday, so why this time tonight? Needless to say, it must be because of Qin Wan. Sure enough, Wu Chao continued, "Eunuch Yuan came here in person, calling for Miss Jiu to go."
Qin Shu stood up, "Girl Wan, let's go—"
Although Qin Wan was asked to go by name, the Hu family and his party still followed to the front yard. Not only that, but girls like Fu Ling and Bai Ying also followed. As soon as they arrived at the front yard, not only Yuan Qing, but also There are more than a dozen servants in the palace, and the group is very imposing. Not only are there many people, but there are also large and small boxes and cages in the front yard. One can tell that the rewards are extremely heavy!
"Master Hou, please greet Master Hou and his wife."
Seeing Qin Shu, Yuan Qing bowed his hands first, then nodded to Qin Wan, "Nine Girls."
Qin Wan and the others made blessings together, Qin Shu said, "Happy New Year, father-in-law, coming to the house so early today, this is..."
Yuan Qing smiled and said, "Master Hou asked the question knowingly. You must know that Nine Girls saved the Queen Mother last night."
Qin Shu laughed, and Yuan Qing looked at Qin Wan and said, "Miss Nine, the Empress Dowager really woke up before 10:00 today, and fell asleep again after being fed the medicine. The old slave came here to give you a reward, and also to give you a piece of cake. Orally, the emperor ordered you to enter the palace before noon, and then show it to the empress dowager."
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Minnv obeys the order—"
Yuan Qing nodded, turned around and said, "These are the emperor's rewards to Nine Girls. They are twenty bolts of brocade, a pair of gold silk Ruyi, a box of Donghai Dongzhu, twenty pieces of large and small jade objects, and a box of blood jade. The size of a pigeon egg."
As he said, he ordered two more boxes and cages, "This is for the nine girls from the Empress, two sets of sapphire-inlaid heads, two pairs of coral bracelets, two pairs of gold inlaid jade bracelets, and two red gold discs. ring, and hairpin ring step earrings, a total of twelve pieces."
Turning around, I ordered two more cages opposite, "These are given to Nine Girls by Su Guifei, a coral tree, two centuries-old ginseng, two century-old Ganoderma lucidum, and a box of snow lotus flowers with double stalks."
The eyes of Fuling who stood in the distance were shining brightly, and Qin Wan who was nearby listened to these jewels, treasures and elixir with a calm expression. Thanks to the Empress Dowager."
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress, and Concubine Su for your rewards, and thank you, daughter of the people."
Yuan Qing explained with a smile, "The emperor and the two empresses are also waiting for Miss Nine. They said that it is noon, and Miss Nine will come into the palace earlier." Then he took out a waist card from his cuff, "This is the gift given by the emperor." Your waist card, when the time comes, no one will come to the house to pick you up, once you enter the palace gate, someone will take you to Shoukang Palace."
Qin Wan was slightly surprised when he looked at the "Yan" character waist plate. The word "Yan" was written in ancient seal script, with a black base, painted with gold lacquer, and engraved with golden dragon patterns. One could tell that it was a royal seal. Qin Wan took the object and pressed it heavily.
"Yes, Minnv will definitely enter the palace earlier."
Seeing this, Yuan Qing smiled and said, "Okay, the old slave will leave." After saying this, he saluted Qin Shu, and he took the people away. As soon as Yuan Qing and his party left, the front yard became empty. Qin Wan didn't recover from the rewards all over the floor. Although she knew that there were rewards, it was still quite shocking to her.
At this moment, another voice came—
"Hahaha, it seems that I came here by coincidence!"
Qin Wan heard the sound and looked, it turned out to be Zheng Baishi! Behind him, followed by Zhan Yang with a serious face. Beside Zhan Yang, Li Muyun was looking at Qin Wan with a smile.
