Miss Forensic Doctor, she is very dragged and black!

Chapter 100
"Originally, this year's sea is not over, and I don't want to spoil your interest, but look at what you are doing, what kind of people are walking around this year's festival!"

The old lady's angry voice came from the outside into the room, waking up Jin Liu, who had been sleeping lightly, and listened with pricked ears.

Jin Liu guessed that the old lady would call the elder to reprimand her when she saw the New Year's situation, but she didn't expect to be bumped into by her. It was also rare for her to take a nap in the old lady's room, so why was she bumped into her? It made her dare not open her eyes when she wakes up now, for fear that Zhu Xin next to her would find out, and she would be taken aback. As soon as he could bear it, he sprinkled it on her before turning his head.

With this layer of worry in his heart, Jin Liu's eyes closed even tighter.

"Mother, you don't know the dangers of the court if you are not in the court." The elder was very aggrieved by the old lady's reprimand on the New Year's Day, and said with a bitter face: "Mother is right, although my son is only four Although he is a high-ranking official, he often goes in and out of the palace, and has a lot of contact with powerful officials in the court, but how dare his son get too close to them, not to mention that the emperor will be suspicious, even they, I can't afford to offend any of them. !"

"Who told you to offend them? I asked you to have a good relationship with them!" The old lady taught the old man patiently: "If you get too close to one or two of the dignitaries, you will not offend others, so you will stay away from them. Right? That’s not how being an official is. You want them to maintain a close relationship. Is it possible for me to teach you the balance here? If you’re just slacking off, don’t you think you’re the only one in the world? The best medical skills? You are not afraid of being replaced by someone at any time!"

After all, the old lady is the elder's own mother, so she can see his temper thoroughly, and she hit his vital point with a few words. The elder has been an official for so many years, although he has climbed to the highest position of imperial physician, he has always relied on Although the eldest lady's natal family also relied on his medical skills, not to mention the whole of Daqin, even the whole capital city, he is not the best in medical skills, let alone the second master, so gradually he no longer Manage it with heart, thinking that relying on the eldest lady's natal family, I will be content with being an old man in the position of courtyard envoy.

But the old lady didn't think so. The Jin family didn't only have a son like the Eldest Master, nor was a fifth-rank official enough for Guangyao's lintel. Looking at the entire capital, not to mention the royal family, officials of the fifth rank and above It's a big catch, not to mention the junior officials below have been staring at the position above. The old man doesn't want to make progress. At any time, someone behind him wants to come up to replace him. When the time comes, the old man's position can't be kept. , it will be even more difficult for the younger brothers and nephews in the back to climb up. On this point, the old lady thinks farther than the elder. They will take the imperial examination in March this year. Judging from their current knowledge, not to mention Jinshi and rank, they will definitely have a Jinshi background. When the time comes, someone will naturally walk around the officialdom for them.

The Eldest Master has naturally thought of this, but one is the son of the second room, and the other is the third brother who has always been at odds with him, so he will not really think about them.

The old lady saw that the old man didn't care, and she regretted that she supported the old man as the envoy of the imperial hospital. If it were the second old man, for example, she wouldn't have such a lazy mind, but the second wife's natal family didn't look like that. For a natal family like Liu's, if the upright and serious second master was to be the court envoy, they would probably have been dropped from the top long ago.

The more the old lady thought about it, the angrier she became, she couldn't help but sullen her face, and said: "Even if you don't think about your brother and nephew, don't you think about your own son? When the spring comes, the starling will be enlightened. With him You are so clever, and one day you will be an official in the court, so you are not afraid that he will have no support in the officialdom in the future? Or do you want him to marry a daughter of a high official in the court like you?"

"Mother!" As soon as he talked about his fear of the eldest lady, the elder became a little anxious, and said: "The son has alienated Aixi now, what does mother want her son?"

"I want her to stop making trouble in this mansion!" The eldest lady raised her voice, pointed at the elder and said, "You crawled out of my stomach, how can I not know you? You won’t be able to get tough in front of her family, but I’ll tell you straight away, don’t be intimidated by Liu’s airy appearance, I don’t know if Liu’s family will be reliable in the future!”

"Mother means..." The old man had already looked up at the old lady.

"Do you think I don't know anything if I stay in the mansion all day long?" The old lady said with a sullen face, "The streets in this capital are full of people, either from this mansion or from that mansion, unless you don't want to know If you don't want to inquire about the news, it's the easiest thing to do. Your old father-in-law is indeed a powerful character. It is said that their officials are getting smaller and smaller, even if your old father-in-law's previous relationship is about to be offended by them, and none of the grandchildren in the mansion can study, and the cockfighting and dog fighting all day long is not doing business, so what can you do? The only one who has some hope is Liu's sister, but I heard that Mrs. Lin has not been to her house for more than a month, and the only son is not up to date. He is as old as the third girl and the fifth girl. Domineering, shrinking his head when he goes out, he doesn't look like a young master of a rich family, even I feel shabby when I see it, Liu's sister will only have the title of wife in the Shangshu Mansion sooner or later! How can you rely on her? ?”

The old man listened to what the old lady said in a daze. He had heard about the two elder brothers of the Liu family. After all, they were also in the officialdom, so he didn't expect to count on them. Come to greet the old lady, he has seen it before, he is indeed a worthless boy, he has never thought about all these things together in his career, watching Liu's boasting of his natal family's power in front of him all the time, he was unexpectedly Her words blinded her eyes.

The elder finally paid attention to what the old lady said before, and hurriedly said: "Yiniang said so, the son will still not be able to rely on Aixi's natal family in the officialdom?"

"Of course you can't rely on it! Once the emperor and the courtiers, your old father-in-law understands this truth when he retires. After you became an envoy after the emperor ascended the throne, you don't understand this truth?" Seeing that the old man became serious, the old lady calmed down. Some, said: "You can't rely on Liu's natal family, but fortunately you still think of your wife."

"Mother mean... He Qian?" the elder asked in surprise.

The old lady nodded, turned around and glanced at Nanny Liu behind her, Nanny Liu nodded, took out a letter from the letter box in the cabinet at the back, and handed it to the Grand Master.

"Originally, I didn't plan to tell you so early. Now that I'm talking about this today, you can open it!" The old lady raised her head and pointed her chin at the letter in the old lady's hand, picked up the tea bowl at hand, and said: "This is the letter." Lord Qian, the magistrate of Qingzhou, gave it to me. Lord Qian was your father's best friend during his lifetime. He heard about the old man's temper, knew that he couldn't be moved, and knew the relationship between our family and the He family, so he sent this letter to me. It’s me, I only got this letter before I thought of coming to the capital.”

The Elder Master didn't remember whether his father had an old friend named Qian, but he was very interested in the content of the letter, but after reading it, he didn't take it seriously. He slowly folded the letter and put it in an envelope, saying: "No wonder Mother told He Qian about her natal family when she first came to the capital. Mother couldn't enter He's house, so the news must have never reached He's house, right?" Put it on the table, and then continued: "Son, I expected it a long time ago. It was like this when the first emperor was like this, and it is still like this now. The teacher's temper can't be changed!"

The old lady was not worried at all, she shook her head and said: "Not necessarily, in the past he was stubborn because he had no desires, but now it is different, he will get out of that tortoise shell one day, it's just that One day, whether he can help you, this son-in-law, will depend on He Qian."

"Mother, why are you so sure?" the elder asked.

"Because I know that old man too well!" The old lady said lightly, as if she didn't want the old man to see too much of her emotions, she coughed lightly, looked at him and said, "That's what I said. What to do next depends on the uncle himself, I have too many things to do, so I won't keep you any longer, go!"

Although he still had doubts in his heart, the old lady issued an order to evict the guests. Naturally, the elder could not stay any longer. He looked down at the letter on the table, stood up, bowed and saluted, turned and walked out.

After the old lady went out, she asked Nanny Liu to put away the letter again, called Zhu Xin out of the room and asked, "Third girl is still sleeping?"

"Go back to the old lady, Miss San is still sleeping!" Zhu Xin hurriedly said.

"Did you wake up just now?" the old lady asked again.

"The maidservant has been guarding by the side, Miss San didn't even move." Zhu Xin replied.

Only then did the old lady nod her head and said: "It must be that she went crazy during the Chinese New Year. I haven't seen her sleep like this before. Anyway, I'll go to lie down too. When she wakes up, let her go out and play by herself!"

"Yes." Zhu Xin replied, and stretched out her hand to help the old lady up. She didn't turn around and went back to the room where Jin Liu was until Nanny Liu came over to take over. She tucked in the quilt, fiddled with the brazier beside the bed, and then sat down on the square stool. She wanted to finish embroidering the pattern she had embroidered before, but suddenly felt drowsy, so she simply stopped doing it and put down her hands. He leaned against the table and dozed off while doing his homework.

With her back to Zhu Xin, Jin Liu slowly opened her eyes when she heard the sound of yawning as she put down the cloth bandage, her eyes were clear and she did not feel sleepy at all.

Just now, she vaguely listened to what the old lady and the old man said, and she said that the old lady was so kind to her, it is impossible to have no conspiracy at all. Apart from being rich, what else is there for the old lady to worry about?Although the Jin family is not said to be rich, at least they are not short of money.

Why did the old lady do this?

Jin Liu thought of the letter that the old lady mentioned. She didn't hear clearly who gave it to her, but she heard the old lady say that she only wanted to come to the capital after getting this letter. It can be seen that this letter is very important. , as long as you read this letter, you should be able to understand what the old lady is thinking.

It's just...how can I get that letter...

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Elder Lord returned to court. Jin Xingxi was going to go to the Temple on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, but was left in the mansion by the eldest lady with the folk saying that she would not return on the seventh day and eighth day. She was sent to the city in person on the [-]th. The Shifei nunnery in the outer south, and stayed there with him for a few days. After coming back, he didn't think about tea and food for a few days. In less than half a month, he lost a lot of weight. Even Jin Tongxi was alarmed. For three days in a row They all ran to their mother's house, or later when they were serving the lady's meal at noon, she suddenly vomited continuously, and people came to find out that she was pregnant for more than a month, and then she was sent back to the Shangshu Mansion by the lady's order, and she was strictly ordered not to run to her mother's house again. .
