Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 33
The He family asked solemnly: "Uncle and grandpa, apart from going to the county to plead guilty, is there no other way?"

The old patriarch is Qu's cousin, and Li Laoshi and his wife call him uncle and grandpa according to their seniority.

Qu Dingshan frowned and said: "Our family has been thinking about it all night, and this is the only way."

He Shi said: "I thought about it yesterday, and I recalled an autobiography of an official I read before. This official encountered a similar incident in his family when he was young. He proposed to keep it secret and the whole family to work together. Hiding the officials from the government and avoiding a catastrophe."

Qu Dinglin had known for a long time that He Shi could read and understand poetry, so he heard the subtext of her words, and asked modestly: "Please teach me, sister-in-law."

Qu Shi had already sat beside He Shi, looking at her expectantly.

He Shi whispered: "Then I'll hit the door in front of you once."

Li Jingjing took the medicine and put it outside the door, looked up at He Shi with an indescribable beauty, the plain sarong was still dazzling.

He said: "67 people were injured in an accident in Qujia Village. The news must have reached the magistrate of Liuyang County today, and there is no way to hide it from him. However, Qujia Village is nearly [-] miles away from Tanzhou. The horse has to run for two days."

Brother Qu Dingshan deserved to have studied in Tanzhou Academy, his eyes gradually cleared up, and he vaguely guessed what He Shi was going to say next.

The He family said softly: "It's not as good as the Qu family in Qujia Village and the county magistrate of Liuyang County concealed the Tanzhou government together, and turned yesterday's incident into a big one, and turned it into nothing. The Qu family will not be punished, and the seven scholars still have their fame. Liuyang County The county magistrate does not need to be dismissed, everyone is happy."

Brother Qu Dingshan was terrified when he heard that, the woman in front of him was really as grandpa said, she was beautiful and hidden.

Qu Dingshan nodded a little excitedly and said: "The Qu clan and the county magistrate will suffer if they don't hide the truth from the Tanzhou government. If they hide it from the people in the Tanzhou government, both sides will be fine. I'm afraid the county magistrate wants to hide Tanzhou even more than we do." government."

When He heard that as long as he kept the people from the Tanzhou government secret, he could keep his nephew and grandnephew's fame, regardless of whether he was right or not, he kept nodding his head.

Brother Qu Dingshan said sincerely: "Sister-in-law taught us how to hide people from Tanzhou Prefecture." "Please teach me, sister-in-law."

The class of Quzu ethnology is closed on the first day of every ten days.Li Qubing didn't go to ethnology school today, and he just woke up.

He came in and stood behind Qu's, just now he vaguely heard He's words, it was too irritating to his nerves, he didn't expect He's to be so courageous, asking Qu's to join forces with Liuyang county magistrate to hide the truth from the Tanzhou government.

The He family thought thoroughly last night, and today they learned that 58 people's injuries have been cured. If the Qu clan followed the plan, they are [-]% sure to hide it from the Tanzhou government.Quickly said: "The Qu family first unified the caliber and said to the outside world that a corner of the stage collapsed last night. Only a few people were shocked and slipped and fell on the rainy night road home."

Qu Dingshan nodded and said: "It is a fact that the stage collapsed, but the whole collapse and only a corner collapsed, 67 people were injured and a few people were frightened and slipped on the way home. The consequences are completely different."

He said in his heart: children can be taught.

Qu Dinglin said: "My grandfather held a clan meeting and would teach the whole clan to speak the same way."

Mrs. He nodded and continued: "The canopy in front of your house will be erected immediately. The theater troupe, please come back. As long as it doesn't rain for the next six days, they will sing opera at night, and we must inform the people in the neighboring villages. The more people come The better, and create a scene where there's never been an accident."

She wanted to do the opposite, making Qujia Village even more lively than before the accident.

Brother Qu Dingshan was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he felt in his heart that this was the best way to prove that there was no major accident in the Qu clan last night.

Li Yunxiao screamed happily from outside the door, "I want to go to the theater!"

Li Jingjing pinched Li Yunxiao's buttocks, and whispered in his ear: "Yesterday you were crying like a cat with tears all over your face, why don't you go to the theater today?"

Li Yunxiao ran away clutching his buttocks, as if thinking of something, his chubby little face immediately turned cloudy, and stuck out his tongue at Li Jingjing: "I was frightened by the thunder. It was a big thunder."

Li Jingjing was afraid that Li Yunxiao's gossip would ruin the Qu Clan's affairs, so she beckoned Li Qubing to take him outside to play outside the yard.

Qu asked: "Dozens of people came from other villages yesterday, including people from Xiaoju Village, Mangcao Village, Hedong Village, and Chenjia Village. These people will definitely pass on the word to the villagers when they go back, and there will be people coming tonight Do you want to watch a play?"

Qu Dinglin said: "Aunt Zhu, don't worry, there will definitely be people who will come to see the excitement of our Qu clan, but those people are to see our jokes."

After the accident happened last night, a few people from other villages immediately showed their ugly faces, sarcastically sarcasm about the poor geomantic omen of the Qu clan, and there is no way to produce a scholar, and the people of the Qu clan will always be of humble origin.

He looked at Qu Dingshan, and said firmly: "Your father-in-law is a fast catcher, and he must be close to the county magistrate. You go to the county seat, and your father-in-law will take you to see the county magistrate immediately, and tell the whole family about it. As long as the county magistrate is willing to delay the Tanzhou official dispatch for two days, the matter can be completely concealed."

The two brothers agreed deeply.

Mrs. He instructed: "The school in the clan cannot be closed tomorrow. The five elderly people with broken ankle bones are temporarily sent to their in-laws in other villages. Cousin Qu and his husband will go to other places to visit friends for a few days, and come back after the limelight passes."

The brothers Qu Dinglin were able to rank in the top three in the county test, they all had a good brain, they wrote down what the He family said, took Li Jingjing's medicine, and went home to discuss with the old patriarch.

A gong suddenly sounded at the silent village entrance, and the old patriarch held a brief meeting for the whole clan in the ancestral hall, but it decided the fate of the Qu clan.

The powerful words of the old patriarch Keng Fu hit the minds of every member of the Qu clan like thunder, "If the seven scholars of our clan are taken away and the magistrate of Liuyang County is dismissed, then the school will be closed, and our clan will never think of producing another scholar in the future." , My people will always be of humble origin and will be looked down upon by people in neighboring villages."

The adult men of the Huiqu tribe gathered at the door of the old patriarch's house quickly, and it took only half an hour to build the canopy. This time it was very strong. The middle pillars and beams were firmly nailed to the ground with three pieces of wood. .

Qu Dingshan changed his clothes and took his guest Mrs. Liu to his father-in-law's house in the county seat in a donkey cart.

Qu Dinglin took Li Qubing to the outer village to deliver medicine to the four wounded.

More than a dozen attendants of the Qu family went back to their natal family in the neighboring village in the name of Huangzi, and spread the news that the Qu family had a Huagu opera at night.

Mrs. Qu went around and came back to talk about what he had seen and heard. Mrs. He nodded and said, "As long as the county magistrate agrees to join forces, success or failure will depend on the day when the officials from Tanzhou come to investigate the case."

Qu's mind was hanging on something, he added too much water to cook the rice, and it became thick rice porridge.

Qu Kuaishou, Qu Jiujiu, and Qu Duo finished building the canopy and were sweating all over. When they returned home, they saw porridge and vegetables on the Eight Immortals table in the main room, and they sat down and ate voraciously.

The sound of a woman vomiting came from the direction of the bedroom. Qu Kuaishou heard that it was Deng Shi, and stared at him with tiger eyes, thinking that the guest is also pregnant, which is simply impossible.

Qu Kuai put down the bowls and chopsticks and walked quickly into the bedroom with the open door. He saw Deng sitting on the bed with his right foot off his shoe and socks on the bench. Little Deng was applying black ointment to her ankle with a cotton cloth. Smear on.
