Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 75 The He Sisters Happy Reunion (9)
He said in Chang'an's words: "I heard your call at the time, but I just couldn't remember who it was. It happened that Xiaolang lost one of his mille-soled shoes, and he called out. My husband and I were afraid of being crowded when we saw people. I didn’t dare to look back, so I went out.”

The nobleman said: "I went back to the mansion and wrote a letter to Xinglang's grandfather, asking him to help me find your whereabouts. I received a reply a few days ago, telling you your address and situation. I wished I could fly over here I met you, but there is something to deal with in the mansion, and I have to wait for something good to be done before I come out of the mansion to see you."

He Shi asked with a smile: "What are you doing at the Palace of Sending Your Son off?"

The nobleman blushed slightly and said, "As soon as I'm old, the old lady in the house insists on forcing me to pay my respects there every other season. How about you?"

He pointed at Li Yunxiao and said, "Hey, I'm taking him to play."

Li Jingjing smiled at Li Yunxiao and said, "Xiaozi, if you hadn't made a fuss about going to send the child to the Empress Hall, Auntie and Mother would still not be able to see each other."

Li Yunxiao nodded happily, and sat obediently in the arms of the nobleman, without clamoring to go outside to play.

When the two sisters were talking, Qu couldn't get in the way, and he didn't want to disturb their reunion. Knowing that the nobleman and his party hadn't eaten, he went to the kitchen to prepare food.

The middle-aged servant named Mrs. He with the mole chased after her, and said sincerely: "The old lady can't force it, let the servant do these rough jobs quickly, please go to the house and rest."

Qu said with a smile: "You are here for the first time, and you are not familiar with my family. You will help me today, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing how easy-going Mrs. Qu is, Mrs. He felt very happy for Mrs. He to have such an easy-going and diligent mother-in-law.Together with Xiaoqing, she helped Qu's cook.

Li Qubing moved a stool and sat in the yard to cool off. Seeing Wang Tan and Wang Ming coming in and out unloading the carriage, he went to help.

Wang Tan said: "Second master don't do anything, just tell us where to put these things."

Li Qubing thought it was a gift from his sister-in-law's relatives, so he asked them to put everything in the bedroom of Li Laoshi and his wife.

Li Jingjing pointed to the fresh peaches on the Eight Immortals table in the main room, and said, "Auntie, eat some fruit."

The nobleman smiled and shook his head, and said: "Auntie doesn't like cold food, you can eat some if you like. Auntie also brought you some fruits."

He Shi asked: "Sister, I heard you say Xinglang just now, but is he my nephew?"

The nobleman said: "I have been married to your brother-in-law for many years, and we only have one son, Xinglang. Xinglang's name is Qin Minxing, he is 11 years old this year, he passed the examination last year as a scholar, and now he is studying in Tanzhou Academy."

He Shi said happily: "Sister is really lucky, Xinglang is so smart and studious, he will pass the examination in the next year."

The nobleman said softly: "Xinglang's grandfather, Qin Xionghuang, was conferred the title of Duke by His Majesty more than ten years ago."

The Dukes who founded the Ding Dynasty and were enfeoffed can be counted with one slap.Qin Xionghuang's ancestral home is in Tanzhou Prefecture. Everyone in Hunan Province knows that the Qin family, whose ancestors were robbers in the previous dynasty, has a first-rank Duke.

He's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "It turns out that it was Qin Guogong who sent someone to rescue you that night."

The nobleman nodded, then shook his head lightly, and pointed at the two twins, signaling that the children should not hear what happened back then.

He's understood what he didn't mention anymore.

The nobleman said: "Xinglang's uncle, Qin Nan, is the eldest son. Xinglang's father is your brother-in-law Qin Yue, who is now General Ningyuan under the fifth rank. I have been honored by your brother-in-law. .”

Li Jingjing was in a complicated mood, she looked up at He Shi, and saw her showing a sincere smile.

He looked calmly, and said: "Sister, you must have known about my family's situation. Your brother-in-law is now working as the kitchen account in Taiqingguan, and your eldest nephew Qinglang is working as the account in Taiqingguan Pharmacy."

Li Yunxiao shouted: "Mother, you forgot to say that my sister is a pharmacist."

"Yes." He smiled and leaned over to kiss Li Jingjing's forehead, and said proudly: "Sister, your niece Jingniang has a pharmacist's document and can make medicines."

The nobleman said every word very seriously: "Yiniang, you are more blessed than me, and you will definitely be rich in the future."

He Shi asked with concern: "Sister, I see that your body is a bit thin."

The nobleman sighed lightly and said, "My health is not very good."

He Shi couldn't help asking: "How is brother-in-law treating you?"

"It's okay now, but I won't know in the future." The nobleman looked at He Shi and said softly, "My brother-in-law must be very kind to you."

He Shi nodded and said, "I am satisfied with everything else except that he doesn't come home often because of his work in the temple."

The nobleman said sincerely: "Contentment and happiness, you are right to think so."

Qu's cooked the meal, three dishes and one soup, mainly according to the preferences of the nobleman, less oil and more vegetables, no chili and garlic, stir-fried kidney bean shreds, fried egg with locust flower, slippery fungus lettuce slices, and half-slice mushroom jade soup.

Xiaoqing went into the hall to report to the nobleman, and then brought the food to the table of the Eight Immortals.Although it is outside, it will definitely not mess with the rules.The nobleman ate alone in the main room, while Xiaoqing waited on him.Mrs. He, Wang Yun, and Wang Ming set up a low table to eat in the small courtyard outside.

It was already dark at this time, Li Qubing was afraid that Aunt He and the three of them would not be seen eating in the yard, so he deliberately moved a candle from the main room and put it on the low table.

Mrs. He hurriedly got up to thank her.

Li Qubing went to help Qu's clean up the guest room again, put on clean bedding, found wormwood and lit it to smoke away the mosquitoes in the guest room, and finally went to the kitchen to boil water for the nobleman to bathe.

The nobleman saw everything that Qu Shi and Li Qubing did.

She didn't post a post in advance, and didn't bring a message. She came here suddenly, just to see what kind of life the He family lived in the Li family, and whether she was suffering or being bullied.

Mrs. Deng came to Li's house with two live chickens in one hand, and said: "I saw a carriage coming to your house, it must be a distinguished guest, your brother asked me to bring four fat chickens, and let you slaughter them for the distinguished guests to eat."

After half an hour, more than a dozen people went to the Qu family to inform Qu Kuaishou, even the old patriarch.They told in detail about the distinguished guests, servants, and two-horse carriages from the Li family.

When Qu Kuaishou heard that they were all distinguished guests, Qu Shi didn't come to call him. He felt that it was inappropriate to go there rashly, so he sent Deng Shi to take the chicken.

He Shi has already told Qu Shi not to tell anyone about the nobleman.

Qu Shi knew how to play sloppy eyes, and said vaguely: "It's Miss Yi's relatives who are out of town. They have been looking for Miss Yi for many years, and they just found it."

Deng asked, "Has this relative issued five clothes?"

Qu shook her head and said, "I don't know. They all speak northern dialect, and I can't understand a word."

Mrs. Deng stood outside the kitchen and listened for a while, but Mrs. He's voice occasionally came out from the main room. I really couldn't understand Mrs. or Mrs. Deng's voice.

Mrs. Qu sent Mrs. Deng away, and saw that two of the four chickens were big roosters, fearing that the rooster crowing in the morning would disturb the sleep of her in-laws and sisters.

She said hello to Li Jingjing, and put all the chickens in the medicine animal pen, and then slaughtered the chickens and burned them for her in-laws and sisters to eat in the daytime tomorrow.
