The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 181 Secretly Asked, Injured?
When Song Qing came to the front hall, Song Jinyue waited for a quarter of an hour.

Song Qing saluted and called "Second Miss".

Song Jinyue looked at Song Qing and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

Where is Song Qing willing to sit, and said repeatedly: "Second Miss, this is against the rules."

Seeing his stubbornness, Song Jinyue simply gave up, and then asked, "Isn't Song Zhi in the mansion these few days, I want to ask who is on duty in the mansion, is there enough? Do you need to buy some more from outside?" Come?"

Song Qing was startled, not knowing why Second Miss suddenly asked about this matter.

"Now the Duke's mansion has sixty guards including the slaves. Song Zhi took away 20 people. Now the mansion has a total of forty guards including the slaves."

"There are 20 people in a class, and the black and white shifts are on duty in turn. Most of the slaves are responsible for patrolling at night, and a young man named Du Zhong is in charge during the day."

Song Jinyue played with the jade bracelet in her hand, seemingly carelessly, but actually listened carefully to every word.

Seeing Song Qing talking about the steward who was on duty during the day, she asked casually, "Where did Du Zhong work on duty before? Is there any other family members in the mansion?"

Although Song Qing was a little puzzled, he didn't know why Second Miss asked about Du Zhong.

Respectfully replied: "Du Zhong was on duty in the stable of the outer court before, since the Duke was injured, there was no work in the stable, Song Guanshi sent Du Zhong to be a guard, because he also has some skills of."

"Elcommia has no family in the mansion, and was sold to the mansion five years ago to beg for life."

Song Jinyue gave the hand that was playing with the jade bracelet a meal, is the stable on duty?Sold into Fuchu five years ago?

Because my father didn't like riding horses very much, the mansion only hired a young servant to take care of his father's horses alone.

As for the horses used in the carriages that take them out of the house every day, they are all taken care of by the servants on the porter in the outer courtyard.

Maybe it was because there was no shortage of manpower in the concierge that Manager Song transferred Du Zhong to be the guard?

"Were you on duty last night?"

Suspicions gradually rose in her heart, and Song Jinyue asked casually without revealing anything on her face.

Song Qing shook his head, and then replied: "Last night because of my little body discomfort, I switched with Du Zhong."

Song Jinyue gave a "hmm" before ordering Song Qing to back out.

She beckoned Qiu Yun to her side, Qiu Yun understood, and hurriedly leaned over.

"Qiu Yun, go and find out why Song Qing fell ill yesterday, and then go and find out if there is anyone close to Eucommia in the mansion, including his preferences and where he usually goes. Remember, the more detailed the better!"

Qiu Yun frowned, although puzzled, she still complied.

When Song Jinyue returned to Mingzhuxuan, Nanny Yuan had already prepared lunch.

"Second Miss is hungry, let's eat quickly."

Nanny Yuan came forward with a smile, took off the cloak she was wearing, and ordered San Ming to bring a copper tray to wait for her to freshen up, and then she sat down in front of the second young lady.

When Song Jinyue sat down to eat, Nanny Yuan was left in the room to wait on her, while the rest of the people retreated.

She was not hungry, she only took a few mouthfuls, and then ordered people to remove the food.

After rinsing her mouth and cleaning her face, she leaned on the soft cushion and lay down on the soft couch.

Nanny Yuan brought a soft quilt made of fox fur to cover her body.

Song Jinyue had already closed her eyes, and Nanny Yuan walked to the censer again, grabbed some spices from the table beside her and threw them into the censer.

Shallow fragrant clouds slowly overflowed from the cracks in the carved furnace.

The light and slightly sweet spices on the tip of the nose gradually relax the whole person.

When Song Jinyue lost consciousness, she could only hear the sound of the door being closed.

When she woke up again, she had slept for a full hour. She lifted the quilt covering her body, got off the ground, put on her shoes, and then called out: "Qiu Yun..."

The door was pushed open, but it wasn't Qiu Yun who came, but San Ming.

Seeing that the second young lady woke up, San Ming came forward with hot water to help her wash up.

"Second Miss, Qiu Yun hasn't come back yet."

Song Jinyue took the handkerchief, and then said "hmm".

Originally thinking of going outside for a walk, Nanny Yuan came looking for her in a hurry.

Song Jinyue sent Sanming away.

"What's wrong?" An uneasiness gradually spread in my heart.

"Second Miss, Xiang Shu is back!"

"Where are the people?"

"In Anfu Hutong..."

Nanny Yuan just left the mansion, she wanted to buy some spices for the second miss, but she bumped into Xiang Shu on the street who was about to go to the Duke's mansion to find the second miss.

Although she doesn't know where Xiang Shu is doing business recently, she also understands that what Xiang Shu is doing for Miss Er is an urgent matter.

She didn't dare to delay, Xiang Shu's expression was a bit dignified, she didn't dare to delay, she didn't even have time to buy spices, so she hurried back to the mansion with an empty bamboo basket.

Coincidentally, the second lady has woken up.

Without stopping, Song Jinyue took Madam Yuan to Anfu Hutong through the back door.

Xiang Shu was anxiously waiting for the second young lady's arrival in the courtyard, and he didn't even have time to change his dusty clothes.

"Second Miss." Seeing the young girl appearing at the gate, Xiang Shu hastily saluted.

After Yuan Nanny closed the door, Song Jinyue went into the back room, motioning for Xiang Shu to follow.

After entering the room, Xiang Shu closed the door behind him, Song Jinyue stopped and looked at Xiang Shu, "What's wrong?"

"Master Zhang is injured!"

Seeing him mentioning the elder cousin of the Zhang family, Song Jinyue's heart skipped a beat.

Anxiety gradually rose in my heart.

"what happened."

"A few days ago, Mr. Zhang took the officers and soldiers to the border inspection. Unexpectedly, he encountered an ambush by the enemy army from the northern country... The military doctor was at a loss. The general ordered me to go back to the capital to seek medical treatment for Mr. Zhang."

Although she didn't say it clearly, Song Jinyue understood that her eldest cousin's injury was probably extremely serious.

This time, Xiang Shu returned to Beijing secretly, and his uncle told him not to make any noise about it.

Because the route of the military camp’s daily patrols at the border and who leads the patrols are all confidential, the time and manpower for the route are determined by my uncle himself, and they are usually notified before departure the next day.

Being able to be ambushed by the enemy army in the Northern Kingdom like this shows that there are spies in the army!
Now my uncle is secretly investigating the matter, but my cousin's injury cannot be delayed.

The doctor who goes to see the elder cousin needs to be reliable.

After leaving Anfu Hutong, Song Jinyue went to the Qin Mansion.

For a while, she had no one to trust, except Qin Wan.

Qin Sheng is not in the mansion today.

Qin Wan originally thought that Song Jinyue was here to find her brother, and there was a bit of a joke in her words,
"Sister Jinyue, my brother is not in the mansion, he has been living in the patrol department these days."

"I'm not here to look for him, I'm here to look for you."

Qin Wan was a little puzzled.

Looking for her?

"Your brother said that you have superb medical skills, but you just don't show it easily, but is it true?"

Seeing her earnestness in asking, it seemed to be a bit timid.

Qin Wan couldn't hide it, so she nodded.

When she was young, she just liked reading and writing medical books. Later, she went to the mountains to collect herbs, and often helped people see doctors.

After several years of accumulation, her medical skills gradually improved.

It's just because women doctors are taboo.

She often secretly helps people see doctors. Her brother once said that if she was a man, with her medical skills, it is very possible to enter the palace and become an imperial physician.
