Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 120
The monthly salary of the Tanzhou Duke's Mansion is considered high in the local area. The monthly salary of the third-class servants and servants is eight cents of silver, not counting the new clothes, red envelopes, and rewards for the four seasons.

If the old lady died, Qin Yue's family would only take some of the servants back to Chang'an, and the rest would face the fate of being dismissed or sold again.

None of the servants wanted Qin Yue's family to leave Tanzhou Duke's Mansion.

From today onwards, from the old lady to the servants in the mansion, it was even more difficult for the family to enter the mansion than to enter the yamen of the governor's mansion before the servants showed their disgust towards the family.

The four old men of the Qin family returned home and got the news not long after. They were still hesitating at first, but now they decided to send two young men on fast horses to the Duke's Mansion in Chang'an with a letter signed by the four of them. sue.

The handwritten letter sued Qin Yue and He Huishu, and even beat around the bush to explain that she didn't take care of her family, just because she was sorry for the dead father.

After one night, they regretted it, and felt that they shouldn't be impulsively mocking the Ming family, and just scolded Qin Yue and He Huishu.

This matter was uttered by a widowed sister-in-law of Dingxiangyuan, and it reached He Huishu's ears.

This widow is the granddaughter-in-law of the oldest of the four old men.

Her husband died in the war, leaving her only one daughter.

The old man swallowed 30 taels of the imperial pension and the 20 taels of condolence money from the Duke's Mansion, not to mention that he was afraid of giving her daughter the dowry money, so he dumped her and her daughter to the Duke of Tanzhou's Mansion.

He Huishu treats their mother and daughter well.

She hated the old man to the bone, and was very grateful to He Huishu for taking him in during the most difficult time. This time, she went back to her home to inquire about the news, and immediately informed He Huishu through the slaves of Lilac Courtyard.

He Huishu was overjoyed at the stupidity of the four old men in her family, and it was conceivable how angry Qin Guogong would be when he read this letter. Of course, it was aimed at the insatiable greed of his family.Instructed Mrs. He: "You go to tell Mrs. Six tonight, and I will talk to my nineteenth niece about a good marriage in a few days."

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-July, and the Li family lived in Tanzhou Guogong Mansion for ten days. Li Jingjing waited for Qin Yue to fully grasp the essentials of rehabilitation exercises, and said to Qu and He: "The stupid brother-in-law has finally learned. We can back home."

That evening, when Qin Minye and Li Qubing came back from the academy, the two families sat together and had dinner lively.

In the morning of the next day, the Li family returned to Qujia Village in a carriage with many gifts, and was escorted by Qin Minye himself with six servants.

Just half a day after the Li family left, the four carriages from the Chang'an Duke's Mansion entered the Tanzhou Duke's Mansion.

According to the rules, He Huishu ordered the housekeeper to open the side door and let four carriages enter the mansion.

Sitting in the carriage were the Duke's sons Qin Dong and Qin Li, and daughters Qin Lan and Qin Yue.The four of them were not descendants, and they were underage, so they had to enter the mansion through the side door in a carriage.

The four of them rushed from Chang'an to Tanzhou to visit the old lady under the order of Qin Guogong.

Originally, the four of them should have arrived in Tanzhou seven days ago, but it was too late because they visited several places of interest on the way.

When Qin Lan and Qin Yue attended banquets in Chang'an, they heard the mistresses of various prefectures praise He Huishu more than once. Now that they saw her, she was really young and beautiful, with a romantic charm in her bones, and she would compare Chang'an to the ladies of the same age as her. It's down.

"Brothers and sisters have worked hard all the way, first go to see the old lady, or go to the yard where I live." He Huishu had already ordered his servants to tidy up the Rose Courtyard and Baiju Courtyard. The Rose Courtyard was for Qin Lan and Qin Yue, and Baiju The courtyard is for Qin Dong and Qin Li to live in.

When she left Chang'an, the four concubine siblings had just been born not long ago, and now they have grown so big, none of them have dark skin, and their appearance is above average, much better-looking than her uncle and husband.

Her mother-in-law sees four concubines every day, so she probably hates the three beautiful concubines her father-in-law accepts to death.

Qin Dongdao: "Second sister-in-law, let's change our clothes and go to see grandma."

Qin Lan and Qin Yue had this intention, and both nodded.

Seeing that the three of them thought so, Qin Li had to go to Baijuyuan first.

The four of them met the ugly old lady. Fortunately, they were reminded by their biological mother before leaving Chang'an, otherwise they would really lose their composure.

The old old lady looked at the expressions of the four of them, thinking that they were seven days late for fun on the road, the love in her heart was a little less, and she only said a few words before she spoke.

He Huishu sent the four of them out of the Peony Courtyard, and asked, "Your second brother is still ill. Do you want to visit him today, or tomorrow?"

Qin Lan said: "We were worried about the second brother's illness along the way. The second sister-in-law will take us to see the second brother."

He Huishu knew that the four of them didn't have such thoughts at all, so she still smiled and said: "Thank you very much. He and I also talk about you every day."

The four of them smiled slightly.Xin said: If this is the case, why not send Yelang to welcome our four elders, but send Yelang to see off your natal sister.

Qin Yue was doing rehabilitation exercises with his upper body bare on the bed. When he heard the two concubines coming, he put on a coat and lay down.

The four of them looked at Qin Yue's black face blushing and sweating profusely. He was obviously doing strenuous exercise. Wherever he looked like he had been seriously injured, they all thought that he was lying down deliberately to put on airs.

The brother-in-law and the younger siblings walked through the scene to say hello, and then went back to each courtyard.

In the evening, the housekeeper from Chang'an Duke's Mansion came to greet Qin Yue, and when he left, he calmly presented He Huishu with a letter from Mrs. Deng sealed in wax.

Qin Yue's eldest brother, Qin Nan, only married Deng's wife.

The Deng family was born in a famous family that opened the dynasty in the previous dynasty, and she is also the direct sister of Princess Rong's big Deng family.

Brothers Qin Nan and Qin Yue have a very good relationship.

Deng has a stubborn personality and is very noble in her bones. The only one who catches her eyes in the Duke's Mansion is He Huishu, and she writes a letter to He Huishu almost every quarter.

He Huishu read the letter with a complicated expression, and murmured: "Sister-in-law is so kind, let me know anything that happens over there."

Qin Yue asked: "What happened again?"

He Huishu called out the servant girl, handed the letter to Qin Yue, shook her head and said in disdain: "You can read it yourself, I'm too embarrassed to read it out."

Qin Yue glanced at ten lines, glanced at the letter, and smashed his fist on the bed board in anger, gnashing his teeth: "It's really a shame. If I were my father, I would just lock her in the temple and send her to Tanzhou for what."

It turned out that Qin Lan was deliberately drunk at the birthday party of Princess Niu last month, and then lay in the garden to seduce King He Jingqing to kiss her for everyone to see.

Qin Lan thought she could get the title of princess of the county, but the old princess Niu refused to discuss marriage with the Duke's mansion on the grounds that her son King Xia died less than three years ago.

In the end, the emperor He Dong bestowed a marriage on Qin Lan as the side concubine of the county king. When He Jingqing's filial piety expired, he asked him to marry her into the mansion on the same day as the county princess.

The prince of the state lost all face, banned Qin Lan's biological mother Liu's feet, and demoted Qin Lan to the Duke's mansion in Tanzhou. He will not call her back to Chang'an until the wedding date is near next year.
