"So, Wei Qizhi really has nothing to do with this case?" In the reception hall of the government office, Huo Huaixin looked at the long letter in his hand and listened to all Qin Wan's inferences, his expression was surprised and sad.
Yue Ning nodded beside her and said, "Exactly, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone to try what Jiu Girl said to see if Wei Qizhi will be poisoned by lacquer, and then ask that boy if Wei Qizhi has used it before." Dragging gold paper..."
Qin Wan finished reading Yan Chi's long letter in the Hou Mansion, and finally found the information he had missed. After analyzing it, he went to the magistrate's office with Yan Chi and Yue Ning. Yue Ning didn't dare to neglect Huo Huaixin when he came. Not to mention that Yan Chi also came together, Huo Huaixin only allowed Qi Tutou and Xu He to listen to the case together, and now hearing what Yue Ning said, he signaled Qi Tutou with his eyes.
Qi catcher nodded, turned around and went out...
Putting down the long letter, Huo Huaixin said worriedly, "So, Miss Jiu suspects that the murderer might be the second son of the Wei family?"
Qin Wan nodded, "What does the magistrate think?"
Huo Huaixin frowned, "After this analysis, it is indeed the most likely. Song Rou and Wei Yanzhi had nothing to do in the past, but now Song Rou has caught Wei Yanzhi's handle. If Song Rou tells the matter to the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion will No one will bypass him, and Wei Qizhi will hate him even more."
Qin Wan nodded, "That's right, because of this strong relationship, Wei Yanzhi is more likely to kill Song Rou."
Huo Huaixin nodded. Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he still accepted the current situation. He originally thought that the case would be closed within three or two days, but now it seems that he has to continue the investigation. With a sigh, Huo Huai said, "If that day That letter was really written by Wei Yanzhi, then maybe he didn't intend to kill Song Rou intentionally, or maybe he just accidentally killed someone, then the weapon he used would probably be the weapon he carried with him, and it's hard to find evidence for pretending to be a ghost to scare people. But it’s okay to burn Yizhuang, they used tung oil when they burned Yizhuang, just go to the nearby workshop and ask, see if anyone buys tung oil in that period of time.”
After all, Huo Huaixin has his own rules, and Yue Ning also said, "That night, after my grandmother said the autopsy on the second day, there was a fire in the night, so the time to buy tung oil can almost be set from half past Xu o'clock that night to the next day. Between the hours of the day."
Qin Wan smiled and nodded, "It's not easy to buy tung oil in the middle of the night, and the store will probably have an impression."
Huo Huaixin said again, "The person who killed Miss Nine was wearing a gown very similar to that of the Second Young Master. Huo guessed that the clothes must have been lost in the Second Young Master's yard that day, and it was after the Second Young Master got up early in the morning. We set off to the shore of Lishui Lake, because that person needs to know what the Second Young Master will be wearing that day, so he can set up this trick."
Qin Wan didn't expect that Huo Huaixin's reaction was not slow at all, so he nodded and said, "Your Excellency is wise."
Huo Huaixin coughed lightly and felt a little uncomfortable. He was not wise at all. If Qin Wan hadn't figured out these front and rear joints, he would have almost created another unjust case, "Thanks to Nine Girls this time, where is Huo Mou wise? These two lines Later, Huo will send Lin Butou to investigate, and after the investigation is clear, there will be a conclusion on this matter."
Qin Wan nodded. After all, she is not from the yamen, so naturally she should not interfere too much. After a slight pause, Qin Wan said again, "But in order not to startle the snake, my lord can temporarily detain the eldest son of the Wei family until the matter has a clue." both of them."
Huo Huaixin nodded again and again, "It's natural." After saying this, Huo Huaixin said again, "I also ask Miss Nine to help record the matter of dragging the gold paper, Xu He, go and write—"
Xu He responded, and hurriedly took the pen and paper, and Qin Wan explained how he found out that it was the gold paper. After Xu He wrote it down, Huo Huaixin respectfully picked up the long letter and walked over to Yan Chi , "Please trouble Your Highness Chi to go this way, it's really my fault, return this letter to His Highness Chi, thank you Your Highness..."
Huo Huaixin was extremely respectful and fearful, and Yan Chi took it in his hand, "Your Majesty can just thank Nine Girls for this matter, if Nine Girls hadn't mentioned it, I would have never paid attention to the details."
Huo Huaixin quickly responded, "That's, that's, I can't thank Miss Nine!"
While talking here, Qi Lin came back from the cell. He had been away for less than half an hour, and when he came back, he smelled like paint, "My lord! It really happened!" Qi Lin's eyes lit up, and his tone was very excited, " My lord, the villain wiped the lacquer on Wei Qizhi's arm, and sure enough, red spots and rashes appeared on his arm after only a quarter of an hour. He also said that his son could not smell the smell of lacquer, and the villain asked about the Yijin Jian, and took the paper of Yijin Jian to let the boy identify it. The boy cried and said that his son never used this kind of paper... "
Qi Lin finished speaking in one breath, and then began to gasp for breath, Huo Huaixin followed suit, "That's it! Nine girls' deduction is indeed correct. This eldest son has never been cursed, but just fell into it." It's just poisonous lacquer!"
When Huo Huaixin said this, he couldn't help but think of the complicated inside story of the Wei Mansion written in the long letter just now. Wei Qizhi was only poisoned by lacquer, but it was said that he was cursed. Among them, I don't know if there is anyone else Credit
After making up his mind, Huo Huaixin immediately said, "Next, I have something to ask you to check. Check the workshops on the road from Hou's Mansion to Yizhuang to see if anyone came to the second place at Xu time that night. I went to buy tung oil sometime during the day."
Qi Lin also knew how Yizhuang was burned, and he understood the reason after thinking about it for a while, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, Huo Huaixin looked at Yue Ning again and said, "As for the matter of the Hou's mansion, Huo will go ask it himself. "
Yue Ning stood up, "Alright, then we can go back home."
Yan Chi also got up, looked at Qin Wan and said, "Where is Miss Jiu going?"
It was getting late at this time, Qin Wan looked outside and said, "It's getting late, Princess Taichang doesn't need to change her dressing today, so Qin Wan will go back to Qin's Mansion first, and go to Hou's Mansion tomorrow."
Yue Ning frowned, "How can you know the progress of this case when you return to the Qin Mansion? Why don't you go to the Hou Mansion together, and if there is any change during the period, you will know immediately."
Up to now, Qin Wan can be regarded as knowing all the details before and after the case, so he is naturally very concerned about the result, and Wei Yan's person is in the Hou's mansion, if the murderer is really him...
Qin Wan frowned, and suddenly said, "I just remembered, Second Young Master Wei was seriously ill the day before yesterday, and I don't know if he's better now."
After speaking, Qin Wan and Yue Ning looked at each other, and Yue Ning understood Qin Wan's meaning in an instant, she nodded, "Yes, you prescribed medicine for him last time, you should go see him today Is there any?"
Yan Chi raised his eyebrows, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "You two, be careful."
Qin Wan bent his lips and walked out, "No problem, now he is the second son of the Wei family who is thoughtful and polite in every way!"
Yue Ning strode to keep up, Huo Huaixin hesitated behind him, thought for a while, but he didn't say anything, Wei Yanzhi lived in the Hou's Mansion, and now he was not suspected, so he wouldn't be in any danger.
Yan Chi stared at Qin Wan's back for a moment before following out.
Yue Ning and his party went one step ahead, while Huo Huaixin led the people from the yamen past. When the carriage stopped in front of the Hou's Mansion, Qin Wan said, "Since we've come to the Hou's Mansion, we must go to greet the Taichang Princess first."
Seeing that she kept the etiquette, Yue Ning naturally went to the Taichang Princess Courtyard, Yan Chi went back to Pine Garden and met the Taichang Princess, Yue Ning and Qin Wan did not inform the latest case, and talked with the Taichang Princess for a while Then he went to Dongyuan.
When they arrived at Dongyuan, the guards guarding Wei Yanzhi's gate didn't seem to have expected that Qin Wan and Yue Ning would come again today. They were surprised for a moment before saluting, "Meet the Princess, I've seen Nine Girls..."
Yue Ning smiled calmly, "I came to see your son's illness yesterday, is he better today?"
The guard's eyes flickered, and he said with a sigh, "It's better, but the young master is still a little uncomfortable. Please wait for a while, the princess and the nine girls, and the villain will go to report."
Yue Ning nodded, and the guard turned around and entered the room. With a glance, Yue Ning saw the ashes piled up in the corner of the yard. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why did you burn so much ashes? Didn't you say yesterday that you should not let the ashes pile up?" Is it too hot in the house?"
Qin Wan followed suit, and just as he frowned, the door opened.
"Princess, Ninth Miss, please let the two of you in."
Qin Wan looked away without changing his face, and walked in with Yue Ning.
As soon as he entered the room, Qin Wan frowned. As Yue Ning said, the room was as hot as yesterday. Qin Wan turned his eyes and saw that the middle of the big iron stove was burning faintly red. Inside the furnace cavity, there was the same roaring fire sound as yesterday, and looking at the iron tongs aside, the stains on them were still there, I'm afraid Wei Yanzhi and his guards didn't care.
"Meet the Princess, Miss Nine... why are you here?"
Wei Yanzhi was still wearing his outer cloak and standing at the door of the inner room, as if he had just got up from the bed. After speaking, Wei Yanzhi coughed lightly, and hurriedly raised his hand to ask, "Princess, Ninth Miss, please sit down..."
"I came to see you yesterday and saw that you were seriously ill, so I was a little worried, so today I brought Nine Girls with me to see if you are better. The typhoid fever can be big or small, and you have been tired and worried recently. If you think too much, it is most likely to be hurt by illness, so don't be careless." Yue Ning doesn't understand medical theory, but these words are very true.
Wei Yanzhi gathered the clothes on his body, smiled wryly, "I have already started to take the medicine of Nine Girls, and I have already improved. The Princess and Nine Girls don't have to worry. I am really sorry to let you two come here again."
Yue Ning and Qin Wan sat on the open chair by the window, Yue Ning frowned when she heard this, "That's not what you said, seeing that Ms. Song's case is about to be closed, you can't fall ill..."
"Close the case?" Wei Yan was taken aback, "The case is about to be closed?"
Yue Ning was slightly surprised, "Don't the second son know? Your elder brother was arrested yesterday!"
Wei Yanzhi's eyes flashed with shock and pain, "Caught... my brother was really caught?"
Yue Ning sighed, "Ninth Miss and I just came back from the magistrate's office just now, and we have already met your elder brother. Your elder brother is injured on his left leg, and his eyebrows and eyes are three points like yours."
Hearing this, Wei Yanzhi immediately stood up straight, "It's really... What does that brother say? Can you admit that Xiao Rou was killed by him?"
The guards brought tea, Qin Wan picked up the teacup and drank it, quietly listening to the conversation between Yue Ning and Wei Yanzhi.
Yue Ning shook her head and said, "After all, it's a human life. It's not so easy. Not only that, but your elder brother also said that he was not the one who had an affair with Miss Song..." Yue Ning sneered, "Tell me, How ridiculous these words are, the entire Duke Mansion and the Wei Mansion probably know about it, yet he wants to deceive us by relying on the thousands of miles away from Jinzhou and the capital."
Wei Yan was stunned and frowned, "He really said that? What does the magistrate plan to do?"
Yue Ning sneered, "The magistrate has already started using torture. When we went, your elder brother was already beaten to a bloody mess. I guess he won't be hard-spoken for long, and he will probably confess soon."
Something flickered in Wei Yanzhi's eyes, and he said after a moment, "My brother... My brother is arrogant, and he is also a practicing family son. His kung fu is not inferior to mine. It is naturally not easy for the magistrate to let him speak. As for him and It is true that both the Duke's Mansion and the Wei Mansion knew about Xiaorou's matter, and he lied about it, which is really a big flaw..."
As he said that, Wei Yanzhi looked at Yue Ning eagerly and said, "Princess, if my brother confesses frankly, will... will the crime be mitigated?"
Yue Ning pondered for a while, "Of course I will, but I don't intend to confess it when I see him like that. The magistrate used such a severe punishment last night, but he couldn't make him change his mind. Now even the magistrate is a little bit Indecisive."
Wei Yanzhi was stunned for another moment, then tightened the collar of his cloak and sat down. Yue Ning said a lot, and suddenly frowned, "Why is this room still so hot? Didn't you say yesterday that Mr. Wei's room should not be like this? "
Wei Yanzhi coughed again, and said with a wry smile, "Yesterday, the Princess and Ninth Girl left, and I tried to reduce the fire, but... as soon as the fire reduced, I felt chills all over my body. The fire has intensified, but today is much better than the previous few days, which shows that Jiu Niu's medicine has taken effect!"
Yue Ning nodded, and picked up the teacup beside her to drink tea.
On this side, Qin Wan looked at the faintly red-hot furnace cavity and said, "This stove is very delicate, I don't know what it looks like inside? Look, it's much warmer than the earth dragon."
As he said that, Qin Wan wanted to look at the stove. Seeing this, Wei Yanzhi immediately stood up, "The stove is dirty, Miss Jiu, be careful. This kind of stove is more common in the north, because it is colder in the north, but I don't think the Hou's mansion has one for it." .”
Qin Wan paused, and walked towards the iron tongs again, "Oh? It's only common in the north? I remember that there seems to be a similar one in Zhongyonghou's Mansion, and I don't know if it's the same..."
Qin Guan lived in Zhongyonghou's mansion for three years when he was young, so he naturally knew the scenery of the north. Seeing her walking straight towards the iron tongs, Wei Yanzhi immediately ordered his guards, "Don't open the lid for Miss Jiu..."
Seeing this, the guard immediately stepped forward, picked up the iron tongs, and lifted the lid. As soon as the lid was lifted, the heat inside suddenly burst out. Qin Wan looked into the stove, but only saw the top layer of glowing red charcoal fire. Looking down, he couldn't see anything, Qin Wan's lips curved slightly, "It seems different, this one is more delicate, I'm afraid there is an extra layer of leaking net underneath, so that the charcoal in the entire furnace cavity can be burned, the room It gets hot right away."
After speaking, Qin Wan turned around and walked back to his seat, and the guard just put the lid on.
Yue Ning didn't know what Qin Wan was doing with the stove, so she said, "When my grandmother first came to the south, she thought the winter in the south was cold, so she ordered a stove that was very similar to the capital city."
Qin Wan immediately continued, "Yes, although the south is not as cold as the north, but the humidity is heavy, and the elderly are the most difficult."
While talking, Qin Wan looked at Wei Yanzhidao, "I see that the second young master has a thin red face, which seems to be suffocated by the heat." Qin Wan stood up and said, "Second young master, please stretch out your wrist. …”
This is the time to ask for the pulse, Wei Yanzhi undoubtedly showed his wrist, Qin Wan's fingertips landed on his wrist, his expression froze slightly, after a while, Qin Wan withdrew his hand, the corners of his lips slightly curved, " It is indeed better than yesterday, the cold has dissipated a bit, Second Young Master remember to continue to take medicine." After a slight pause, Qin Wan said, "But Second Young Master's face is blush like a sign of fever, I don't know if Second Young Master's inner room window can be opened gone?"
Wei Yanzhi shook his head, "Not yet, because..."
Qin Wan turned around and walked towards Wei Yanzhi's inner room, "Second Young Master has this disease, the room needs to be ventilated, but the vent is very particular, it must not be in the same direction as Second Young Master's bed..."
Seeing that Qin Wan was about to enter his inner room, Wei Yanzhi frowned and was about to get up, but Qin Wan stopped again. It turned out that she was just looking at the room. Xuan Chuang, "For the outside, it's better to open this window..."
Wei Yanzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly opened the window according to the words. As soon as the window was opened, the coolness outside poured in, which immediately refreshed Yue Ning, and she continued, "That's right, when I came in just now It's too stuffy, you're always in this kind of room, and your sickness stays in the room too, don't you?"
Wei Yanzhi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, thank you Nine Girls for your guidance..."
Qin Wan slowly shook her head, "The Second Young Master is also my patient now, what should be said, Qin Wan will naturally not hide it."
Wei Yanzhi looked at Yue Ning and Qin Wan and raised the corners of his lips, "It's my luck to have the care of the princess and the nine girls." After a pause, Wei Yanzhi seemed to have just remembered, "By the way, since my brother He is in prison, I wonder if I can let me see him right now? He is alone in Jinzhou, and I want to go and see him."
Yue Ning looked troubled, "It's not for me to decide this matter, I have to ask the magistrate what he thinks, but this case is still under trial, I'm afraid the second son will not meet the eldest son, after the eldest son confesses, see him It's not difficult." After a pause, Yue Ning said, "Or, can the second son persuade the eldest son to admit his crime?"
Wei Yanzhi showed hesitation, "The princess doesn't know something. In the past, in the Wei Mansion, the only brother in the family was always following the lead. This time, my brother was caught and would be convicted. Naturally, he was very angry and resentful. At this time, if he goes down, If you want to persuade him to bow his head, I'm afraid my brother will be even more angry, and when the time comes, it will be counterproductive."
Yue Ning rolled her eyes, "It makes sense." Up to this point, Yue Ning asked Wei Yanzhi again, "What? In the Wei Manor, how often did the eldest son bully the second son?"
Wei Yanzhi's face was bitter, but he said, "No, no, my brother... It's just that he has become a little more arrogant, and he should be. He was born by his mother, so he is naturally more noble than this..."
Yue Ning and Qin Wan glanced at each other. Wei Yanzhi's big sentence, except for the first three words, said that Wei Qizhi did bully him, and the expression on his face was so true.
If she hadn't grown suspicious of Wei Yanzhi right now, she might have been tricked by his tricks, Yue Ning understood Qin Wan's meaning now, Wei Yanzhi looked like a perfect brother on the surface.
"Relax, Second Young Master, no matter what you did before, now that he has been caught in prison, he has paid the price for his temper. As long as he confesses, the charge will be considered settled. In the future, he will naturally be punished." of."
Yue Ning's words could not be more appropriate, after all, Wei Yanzhi had told Yue Ning about his situation before.
Wei Yanzhi was grateful when he heard the words, "Even so, he is the elder brother. When I think about it, I still can't bear it. Parents know, and I don't know how to be sad..."
Yue Ning said again, "Second Young Master, why can't you bear the heart of someone who murders other people's lives? He deserved everything, and murdered someone's life. Do you still want to continue to live freely in the future?"
Wei Yanzhi sighed, his voice was difficult, "It's true, hey..."
Qin Wan watched Yue Ning speak without changing her expression. She never thought that Yue Ning, who used to be cold-spoken, would act so well. She raised her lips slightly in her heart, and Yue Ning suddenly said, "But if he really It's not a problem to carry it hard."
As soon as these words fell, Wei Yanzhi frowned, and Qin Wan continued, "Yes, I have read many picture books before, and there are some people in it who can really endure those severe punishments in the yamen with their will."
Wei Yanzhi had seen Qin Wan's autopsy, and knew that she had helped a lot for this case, so he said, "But if this goes on, my brother's final punishment will be even heavier. Is there any way to make him admit it earlier so that he can ask for a reduction?" punishment?"
Qin Wan thought for a while, "Unless you find key evidence..." At this point, Qin Wan said as if thinking of something, "Speaking of which, Miss Song's head has not been found yet. The second son knows the eldest son. Second son, guess what?" , where will the eldest son hide Miss Song's head?"
Wei Yanzhi lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his eyes but shook his head, "I really can't guess this, I'm afraid the elder brother killed someone, I'm afraid he would hide his head well, the elder brother is smart, and he might hide it in a place that none of us thought of." The place."
Qin Wan sighed, "That will be difficult."
Yue Ning also shook her head, "Master Zhifu has to work hard again."
Wei Yanzhi also sighed a little, "I'm afraid my brother is still thinking about luck at this point. If someone comes from the capital, I don't know..."
Qin Wan frowned, "Could it be that the second son wants to exonerate the eldest son?"
Wei Yanzhi hurriedly said, "No, no, of course not. What I mean is that I'm afraid there will be some activities at that time, maybe... maybe it will reduce my brother's guilt..."
Wei Yanzhi lowered his head, as if a little uncomfortable, but Qin Wan understood what he meant, as long as he had power, even a murder case could be smoothed out, but Qin Wan said sternly, "If the Wei family really has such a plan, the second Young Master, it’s better to persuade him, lest the Eldest Young Master fail to pull out and bring in more people.”
Wei Yanzhi looked ashamed, "Ninth Miss, don't worry, I will definitely do it, and there will definitely be no one in the Wei Manor who bends the law for personal gain."
Yue Ning also said aside, "You think too much, the second son is an upright person, no way."
Qin Wan bent her lips and exhaled, "That's natural, Qin Wan is in a hurry."
Wei Yan held the front of his clothes with one hand and waved the other, "No problem, no problem, Nine Girls are upright and righteous girls, heroes, I am very grateful..."
Qin Wan smiled and said nothing, Yue Ning got up and said, "Okay, you are sick, we won't talk to you anymore, when you recover, we will do a few tricks." Yue Ning went into the room Glancing at it, "Where's your saber?"
Wei Yanzhi coughed lightly, "It's hanging in the inner room. Don't worry, the princess. When I recover from illness, I will definitely fight with the princess again."
Yue Ning smiled and cupped hands with him, Qin Wan was also blessed with her heroic posture, Wei Yan stepped forward, "I will send the two of you out..." Saying that, he sent the two of Yue Ning to the door.
Standing in front of the door, Wei Yanzhi watched Qin Wan and Yue Ning disappear before turning around.
As soon as he entered the room, Wei Yanzhi put down his cloak, and asked the guard beside him, "It seems that the news is true."
The guard interjected, "Why didn't Eldest Young Master ask for a misdemeanor earlier?"
Wei Yanzhi shook his head, "You don't know Eldest Young Master's temperament, how can you easily bow your head, but just wait, the magistrate will continue the interrogation, he shouldn't last long."
The guard said again, "Master, are we really not going to see the young master? Persuasion is fine too."
Wei Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the guard. The guard's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head and dared not speak any more.
…
…
Leaving Dongyuan, Yue Ning let out a long breath, looked at Qin Wan and said, "How is it?"
Qin Wan frowned slightly, "His wrists are extremely hot, it can be seen that he can't bear the heat in the room, you can see that his cheeks are flushed, he obviously can't bear it, but he still wants to stay in the room." There is such a big fire in the house, I'm afraid there is something weird, but I looked at the stove just now, but I didn't see anything unusual, right now you and I have no reason to search other people's houses, so we can only give up."
Yue Ning said, "I didn't pay attention before, but now, I found that Wei Yanzhi is really a master. He said that Wei Qizhi didn't bully him, but his expression, tone and words were all silent accusations. I don't like it, a big man, but he acts as if hesitating to say something wronged, and there are so many twists and turns!"
Qin Wan also exhaled, "And when he first heard that Wei Qizhi was arrested, he always had a strange expression. He seemed to hesitate for a while before making a surprised expression, which made me think he seemed to know from the beginning, and if He knew about this from the beginning, and if he pretended to be a ghost at this moment, there must be a ghost, and he didn't doubt Wei Qizhi at all, almost firmer than our position, and he was thinking about whether Wei Qizhi could To mitigate the crime, not to question, it is possible that Wei Qizhi is not the murderer."
Yue Ning nodded, "Besides, he doesn't want to see Wei Qizhi, maybe it's true as he said, and he's afraid of backlash, but as Wei Qizhi's younger brother, does he really want Wei Qizhi to plead guilty immediately? Knowing that Wei Qizhi was tortured in prison, the first reaction was not to visit him, but it took a long time before we asked whether we could visit him, and we asked him to persuade him, but he didn’t go.”
"There are too many doubts, and now we have to wait for the prefect to find out the results."
Hearing Qin Wan's words, Yue Ning said, "If you want to know the result, why don't you stay in the Hou Mansion tonight."
Qin Wan was slightly surprised, "That's good, I have disturbed you in the Hou Mansion before..."
Yue Ning raised her eyebrows, "At that time, you were treating your grandmother. My grandmother treats you like a daughter, and my grandmother loves you that much. I let you live and you said these unreasonable things to me? If it wasn't for this matter? The case took so much thought, I don't worry about it for you, I don't care if you can know the news as soon as possible... "
Hearing these words, Qin Wan's heart warmed slightly, and she nodded after thinking about it, "Okay, I just need to ask you to send someone back to Qin's residence to say something."
Yue Ning replied with a "hmm", but suddenly remembered something and said, "I see a few people have been added to your yard, are you okay if you don't go back tonight?"
Qin Wan was skeptical when she heard this, but soon, Wan Xing's figure flashed in her heart, she shook her head, Qin Wan said, "It's nothing, it's all right, it should be fine."
Yue Ning was relieved, and immediately ordered someone to go to the Qin Mansion, and then took Qin Wan to the courtyard of the Taichang Princess. When the Taichang Princess learned that Qin Wan would stay in the Hou's Mansion overnight, she immediately ordered the Jiang family to have an extra meal for the night Let's have dinner together.
The Jiang family loved Qin Wan, so naturally they happily agreed. Not long after, Yue Qing came back from the army and was overjoyed when he learned that Qin Wan hadn't left yet. He also knew that she would stay in the Marquis Mansion tonight, so he took it like a treasure. A cloth bag arrives at Princess Taichang.
"Grandmother, look, I found two orphan copies..."
Princess Taichang heard the words and looked over, and said with a smile, "What is the only copy that makes you so happy?"
Yue Qing opened the small cloth bag and took out two volumes with yellowed covers, "It's the tenth and ninth chapters of the "Neijing"."
Seeing that it was a medical book, Princess Taichang's smile deepened, Yue Ning raised her brows slightly, and Yue Qing said with a smile, "My grandson bought a lot of books recently, but I don't need these two medical books, my grandson plans to give them away For Nine Girls..."
Seeing this from the side, Qin Wan had no emotion on his face, but he sighed in his heart. Princess Taichang smiled and took Qin Wan's hand, "Girl Wan, these two medical books are much more useful to you than those picture books in the market. Take it."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips were tightly pursed, feeling a little helpless in his heart, Yue Qing's thoughts seemed to be very obvious, and these two medical books must not have been bought by him casually, these two books were not only orphans, but had been lost for many years, they were medicine books. Wang Gu also only has the remnants of Chapter 10 of the "Neijing", one can imagine that although Yue Qing went to the army these few days, his thoughts are probably all on these two books.
"Princess Taichang... These two books are too precious, how dare Qin Wan..."
Princess Taichang shook Qin Wan's hand, "I said it's fine, you cured my illness, I haven't thanked you yet, these two books are all from me, what, I'll give you You don't want either?"
Qin Guan froze, "Princess Taichang, of course I dare not resign, it's just..."
"Haha, then put it away, there are not so many taboos."
After the Taichang Princess finished speaking, she squeezed Qin Wan's palm. Qin Wan looked up and saw a bright light flashing in the eyes of the Taichang Princess. Qin Wan was taken aback, and the Taichang Princess saw it. It was Yue Qing's thoughts and her helplessness.
After looking at each other for a moment, Qin Wan finally bowed his head and blessed himself, "Then Qin Wan will accept it, thank you Taichang Princess."
Princess Taichang smiled. Yue Ning looked at Princess Taichang and then at Qin Wan. She felt that what Princess Taichang said seemed to have some deep meaning, but she happily handed the book to Fuling. Princess Taichang looked at her from the other side. Yue Qing said, "This time, it's not Jiu Miss's debt to you, it's your filial piety to grandmother, this book can be regarded as looking for Jiu Miss for grandmother, how about it?"
Yue Qing felt more and more strange, but still nodded, "Yes, you can do whatever you want to be filial to your grandmother."
Princess Taichang looked at Yue Qing with a sigh in her eyes, "Your filial grandmother knows, silly boy... you have to be more careful when you go to the army, don't get hurt..."
Yue Qing glanced at Qin Wan and straightened his chest, "Don't worry, grandma, there are not many people in the army who are my opponents, let alone a man, a little injury is fine."
Princess Taichang smiled and shook her head, seeing Lu Yun's figure flashing outside, she said, "Okay, it's time for dinner, let's go, let's go to Jishantang."
Jishan Hall is the place where the Hou Mansion usually hosts guests and holds banquets. Today, because everyone eats together, Jiang shi placed the table in Jishan Hall. Apart from Yue's family, Qin Wan and Yan Chi are all guests.
Princess Taichang sat in the middle, Yan Chi was on the right, Qin Wan was on the left, even Yue Qiong could only sit in Yanchi's lower seat. Yue Qiong laughed and said, "Mother asked someone to prepare a drunken shade , which shows that mother is very happy today."
While speaking, Lu Xiu had already brought up the jug, and Princess Taichang said, "This wine was brought to Jinzhou with me ten years ago. I drank it a lot over the years, and now there is not much left. Let's open it today." One pot, everyone can drink whatever they want. I was still awake when Wan Yatou stayed in the mansion before, and I never stayed there afterward. I stayed here tonight. Let's have a meal together. Now, girl Wan dares to drink alcohol?"
Qin Wan was quite uneasy sitting in the upper seat, and hurriedly said, "I still dare to have a drink with Princess Taichang."
Princess Taichang laughed, and pointed at Yue Ning and the others, "I tricked these few into eating wine when they were young. Jia'er and Qing'er both felt it was spicy, so they stopped eating now. Only Ning'er was holding Xiao Ning I ate a cup of wine without knowing what it was, and then my drunk face flushed, and I fell asleep without crying or fussing, which shocked Jing Shu."
The Taichang Princess had a clear smile, and there was a bit of reminiscence between her eyebrows and eyes. Qin Wan looked at the Taichang Princess' expression and suddenly understood. , but later married and restrained his temper, but in his bones, the blood of the royal family and nobles remained unchanged, and neither did the wanton publicity.
Therefore, she was able to do such bold and interesting things as a grandmother at that time.
Both Jiang Shi and Yue Qiong smiled brightly, and Jiang Shi still blamed, "Mother still remembers that Ning'er was only four years old at that time, and she usually cried and wanted to sleep with her daughter-in-law, but she behaved like a cat that day." , but the daughter-in-law was taken aback."
The Taichang Princess smiled and shook her head, "All of you, you are too timid, thinking back then..." After a pause, the Taichang Princess stopped talking, and sighed, "Forget it, you are all old women, don't say anything." That's it, Luxiu, pour wine for everyone, and Xiaoqi is also full, speaking of these drunk flowers, there are still some that your father gave me back then... "
Yan Chi raised his eyebrows, "Father gave it to you? Father never drinks..."
Princess Taichang sneered, "He doesn't drink alcohol? Hmph, he just changed his habits after joining the army. Try it, how does this drunk flower shade compare to those in the capital?"
Yan Chi raised his glass when he heard the words, "Respect aunt and grandma." As he spoke, he raised his head to drink—
"His Royal Highness is not allowed to drink alcohol while he is still injured."
Seeing that Yan Chi was about to drink it, Qin Wan suddenly opened her mouth. Her words were a little abrupt. When she said it, she was stunned, and everyone else was also stunned. Yan Chi even put the wine cup pause on the lips.
"Haha, I forgot—" Princess Taichang laughed, "Forget it! The little doctor sits here, and we are both her patients, so naturally we have to listen to her. Today's wine, you No luck! Put down the cup and change to tea!"
Having said that, everyone at the table laughed, Yan Chi put down the wine cup very slowly, Qin Wan bent his lips, and watched his wine cup being filled with liquor, this drunken flower shade is Da Zhou tribute wine, It is always prepared by the royal family, but it is extremely rare for the common people. Qin Wan ate it once before, and it can be said that it is unforgettable to this day.
As soon as the wine entered his throat, the mellow fragrance and clearness dissipated. Qin Wan realized that Yan Chi's gaze had been on her all the time. It was unknown whether it was because of the alcohol or what, Qin Wan secretly groaned in his heart. Reasonable, with Jiang's enthusiasm for cooking, Qin Wan was full of wine and food, but he didn't notice the deep meaning in Yan Chi's eyes.
After the meal, Qin Wan was supported by Fu Ling and went back to Yue Ning's residence. The drunk flower shade was not very strong, but I don't know if Miss Jiu is not good at drinking, so Qin Wan was a little dizzy. Drowsy, after Fu Ling waited for her to wash up, Qin Wan even fell asleep. After seeing Qin Wan's toughness for many days, Yue Ning couldn't help laughing at this.
The rhyme of drunken flowers and wine is profound, and Qin Wan has no dreams all night. Early the next morning, as soon as Qin Wan opened his eyes in a daze, he heard Lvqi's hurried and joyful voice!
"Miss, the magistrate has brought people into Dongyuan!"
Qin Wan was taken aback for a moment, then sat up abruptly. Prefect Huo came to get Wei Yanzhi!
