Brother Wanfu

Chapter 11 She Gets Used To It Alone
After his father came back, the Qin family invited doctors less frequently.

Qin Tian knew that Mrs. Qin had passed half of this test.

She also let go of half of her heart.

The guards in the mansion probably didn't investigate anything, the Qin family's mansion was peaceful and calm, and the fact that Liao Shun's body made Mrs. Qin faint from shock seemed to be just a pure coincidence.

Qin Guanzhong became more and more busy, and the number of times he went home decreased a lot. Except for coming back from time to time to go to the room, he only served as director in the study of the outer courtyard.

Obviously not separated by several courtyard walls, but to Qin Tian, ​​his father was even more distant.

She used to be alone and lived in a small house for many years, of course she can gradually get used to it now.

The servant Changzi didn't dare to come back, but someone sent her herbs into Chaoyun Pavilion, some were seeds, some were seedlings, and some old roots, and of course there were also finished medicinal materials.

If it is said that in Zhucheng before, Qin Tian was still playing with medicinal materials for entertainment, but now he is serious.

She thought, if one day she leaves here and the Qin family, she must have a skill to support herself, right?
After eating in the morning, Qin Tian continued to flip through the pages of the medicinal recipes on the desk.

The beginning of this thick book on medicinal diet is the recuperation diet for women after giving birth. Qin Tian is just a girl in a boudoir, so she can't use it for it. On the contrary, it is more practical for ordinary people to recuperate from various cruxes.

Tiandong Suye and the others are in good health and seldom get sick, that's because of Qin Tian's recuperation.

She turned over the previous content and looked back as usual, but Su Ye came over with a basket of yellow paper.

"It will be my wife's death day in one month. Uncle Zhou sent yellow paper to the girl, and the girl has to fold some."

In another month, it will be three years since my mother passed away.

Qin Tian stopped turning over the recipe book.

This thick medicated food book has no name, and it is not a book printed by a bookstore and circulated in the city, nor is it an isolated ancient book.

It is like a manuscript, the handwriting is not so regular, but every stroke seems to still emit the warmth of the hand of the person who wrote it.

Qin Tian's fingertips gently stroked the beautiful small characters on the heavy book.

These are her mother's words, and this book is written down word by word by her mother.

Qin Tian knew that he was not in good health since he could remember. It seemed that he had some weakness brought out from his mother's womb, and he was sick every day.

At that time, my mother went to the stove in person almost every day, carefully selected the medicinal materials, and carefully cooked a cup of porridge for her with many uncommon dishes.

These herbal meals are flavors that are rarely eaten in other people's homes, but since Qin Tian can remember, they have been lingering on the tip of her tongue.

It wasn't until she was eight or nine years old and her body gradually recovered, and she was no different from an ordinary little girl, that these medicinal diets gradually became less and less.

At that time, the mother touched her oily hair.

"Take care of Tian Tian, ​​and I'll be relieved."

Little Qin Tian looked up at his mother and suddenly asked a question.

"Mother, why do you understand medicinal food?"

Asking this made my mother stunned for a moment, and then she bent her eyes and smiled again.

"It's from elementary school."

What an answer.

But little Qin Tian didn't care about it, she said what she wanted to say the most.

"I also want to learn medicinal food from mother, mother will teach me!"

At that time, my mother looked at her for a long time and said "OK".

So I picked up my pen and wrote down this thick book of medicinal diets one prescription at a time.

Later, the mother was gone, and the memory of the mother seemed to be swallowed by the Nian Beast, and every year passed, it became less and less.Qin Tian couldn't remember many things clearly, and he didn't think about exploring them.

The sound of footsteps and soft human voices around the main courtyard continued to come.

Mrs. Qin seems to have reconciled with her father. When my father came back these few days, he stayed in the main courtyard at night.

Qin Tian looked at the recipe of the medicinal diet in his hand, and suddenly wanted to know, why did the mother make the outer room for the father?

Her father wouldn't come back once in a month or two, and even if he did, he would just say a few words, spend the night in the study and then leave. She didn't even remember the intimacy between her father and mother.

She thought this was normal before, but she knew it was not normal until she saw how her father treated Mrs. Qin.

Her father treated her mother not even one-tenth of Mrs. Qin.

Maybe this is the difference between the main room and the outer room?
Qin Tian didn't understand. Looking at the basket of yellow paper and the thick books under his hand, he couldn't settle down to do things, so he got up and went to the courtyard.

The two rows of blue bricks on the side near the courtyard wall were temporarily lifted up, and various herbs were planted, some of which were still blooming at this time of year.

Qin Tian picked up the hoe and loosened the soil for his herbs.

These are the wealth left to her by her mother, which may be what she will rely on in the future.

"Chaoyunxuan is the same as before. The girl grows herbs besides reading books and feeding rabbits. The boy named Changzi can't see anything except buying herbs for his master."

Fu Wen doubted whether the names of the herbal medicines implied some meanings that they could not decipher, but he asked people in the army to research them, and found no clues of code words.

Qin Shen was silent for a few breaths before asking.

"Where did she learn about her medicinal diet?"

Although there are things like medicated diet among the people, it is not easy for ordinary people to eat enough. The so-called medicated diet is just a folk recipe, not systematic.

But judging from what Qin Tian said, it is obvious that what he has learned is not just earthwork or superficiality.

"Master Hui, it was taught by the outside wife, that is, the girl's biological mother. The outside wife seems to be the maid of a big family, so the maids and servants in the small courtyard, including the girl, The rules are not bad."

If it is a maid from a rich family, it is not surprising that she knows a little about medicinal food.

But Fu Wen shook his head again, "It's just my subordinates' speculation. The master has a very close arrangement in Zhucheng, so I can't find out anything. As for the maid in that house, my subordinates don't know." .”

He hasn't been able to reveal the slightest flaw for more than ten years, and Qin Shen can't find out what's going on inside if he wants to.

"Let's just stop here."

It would be bad if his father found out that he was investigating his affairs in Zhucheng.

Qin Shen pinched his forehead, there were still many things he couldn't understand about his father.

He only commands.

"Continue to stare at Chao Yunxuan, but don't let go of other places."

Maybe outside of Chaoyunxuan, there are really people hiding in the depths.

"Yes."

*
main courtyard.

Mrs. Qin is indeed much better. Although she has no strength when sitting in the transaction, she can still talk.

But before dinner at night, Mrs. Qin thought of something and said something to Qin Guanzhong.

"Anyway, your daughter is a daughter of the Qin family. As a concubine, I don't mean to treat my concubine harshly. I should let her eat with me."

Otherwise, it would be pitiful for the three members of the Qin family to eat, leaving her alone as a little girl who is not yet old enough.

Qin Shen was silent all the time, and only glanced at Qin Guanzhong.

Qin Guanzhong was a little surprised by his wife's proposal, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to let it go.

"You're not in good health, it's better to wait until you recover, and then let her come to say hello."

As Qin Guanzhong said, he asked someone to set up the table with vegetables.

"Besides, she's used to it by herself."

He didn't know whether he was comforting Madam Qin or himself, his voice was softly filled with a touch of sadness.

Mrs. Qin snorted softly.

"Is this the way it should be when you get used to it? You deserve it as a father, but it's really not very good."

"really."

Qin Guanzhong didn't deny it, and he didn't ask someone to call Qin Tian over. Instead, he changed the subject and said something to Qin Shen.

The father and son first talked about the recent military affairs in various parts of Qingzhou, and then Qin Guanzhong said.

"I have to go to Jinan Mansion in the future, and it will take some time to go back and forth."

"In such a hurry?" Mrs. Qin asked, not long after he came back from another place.

"En." Qin Guanzhong didn't explain too much, he just told Qin Shen a few words, and then called him.

"There are still some things to do before we leave. Tomorrow you will follow me to Qingfeng Mountain."

Mrs. Qin was slightly startled when she heard Qingfeng Mountain.

Qin Shen responded, "Okay."

*
Qingfeng Mountain is the private property of the Qin family.

Since three years ago, Qin Shen has come here with his father every year.

There is no difference between Qingfeng Mountain and the mountain tops beside it. The only difference is that on the east side of the mountain, there is an unnamed tombstone under the lush pines and cypresses.

The two went up the mountain on foot, and when they reached the top of the east mountain, it was already late.

Brilliant sunlight falls in bundles from the gaps in the leaves of pines and cypresses like clouds, sprinkling mottled picturesquely in front of the tombstone.

The tombstone is unnamed, and Qin Shen has never heard his father mention who this person is.

As in previous years, he personally went up to sweep the tomb and poured wine.

It's just that the father, who had been silent for a long time in the past, suddenly spoke today.

"You should have heard about the Jinan mansion."

Qin Shen paused for a while while putting away the wine bottle, then nodded.

Mrs. Qin is recuperating in the inner house, and it is difficult to understand the outside affairs, but Qin Shen knows that just a few days ago, Xing Landong, who was ordered by the emperor to come to Shandong to serve as the fourth-rank deputy inspector of the procuratorate, arrested several Shandong officials and put them in prison. They harbor evil intentions, deceive the public with evil words, and try to erase the sins of the former prince's rebellion, at least implicating the three clans.

One must know that when the former crown prince forced the palace of the first emperor and his soldiers approached the city, if it hadn't been for the rescue in time, the first emperor would have been in danger.

Trying to erase the sins of the former prince is tantamount to rebellion.

At the beginning of today's ascension to the throne, there were all kinds of rumors. For example, the former prince did not rebel, but the person who rebelled was the person who is now on the dragon chair; In addition to the first prince and the current emperor, the former emperor also had other princes or grandsons who lived among the people. And so on.

But these voices disappeared as Jinshang took the throne firmly.

It's just that natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued in the past few years, and today the government has gradually become lazy in politics, and these rumors have emerged again.

Especially three years ago, Ye Zhichen, the first personal guard of the former prince, was arrested. Today, he helped the former prince rebel, and fled for many years to spread irony, and executed Ye Zhichen in front of the Meridian Gate.

Ling Chi beat people to death with one knife after another, even after death, he could not be freed, cutting the flesh piece by piece until the bones were exposed, and the flesh and blood were gone.

After that, no one dared to risk the lives of the three or even nine clans to discuss this matter.

As for the current throne, no one dares to mention whether it is right or not.

It's just that the boiling among the people is going on in a wordless way.

Qin Shen was silent.

Qin Guanzhong suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the wordless stele in front of him, his voice was hoarse, "Si Jin should be able to guess who this tomb is for."

A bird neighed past, and the wind scattered and stirred the mottled light and shadow.

Qin Shen looked at the tomb that Qin Guanzhong erected three years ago, and spoke in a low voice.

"It's the first personal guard of the first prince, Ye Zhichen."

When the words fell to the ground, his gaze rose from the tombstone and landed on Qin Guanzhong's face.

There are lines of time on the face of an aged person, and those lines are gathering more and more at this moment, trembling slightly.

"Yes, it's Ye Zhichen, my best friend in the same robe in this life, the benefactor who saved my life on the battlefield."

After Qin Guanzhong finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Shen.

The moment his eyes fell, Qin Shen seemed to suddenly understand what he was going to say.

The mountain wind filled Qin Shen's ears with all the heavy human voices, making people's heart tremble.

"The seat of the emperor in the imperial city is not a human being."

　Thank you for your reward, and thank you for your recommendation tickets!
