Qiu Wuhen found that he really knew nothing about the affairs of this house, not even the coachman beside his wife.

"Did you ask the concierge afterwards? When did the third girl leave the house?"

"When the young lady came back, she asked the concierge on duty that day, but the concierge said that he didn't see the young lady going out in the morning at all."

Qiu Wuhen's heart sank inexplicably. He knew that the concierge's wife had told him that it was from the evening of the first day to the evening of the next day. Since he didn't see it in the morning, could he have gone out the night before?

He then heard Zhang Qi say: "And I also asked the concierge who was on duty the first day. The concierge said that there were guests at home that day, and they were welcomed there. Moreover, the third girl also accompanied the wife to see off several guests in person, and he didn't pay attention.

.”

Qiu Wuhen was about to speak when he heard a sound outside the door and saw Zhang Qi saying, "It's so late, why is she here?"

Then he said to Qiu Wuhen: "Why is Liniang here at this time?"

Qiu Wuhen thought of what happened before, and quickly asked Zhang Qi to open the door and said that he asked Liniang to come over. After the door opened, Liniang was stunned when she saw Zhang Qi there.

Qiu Wuhen smiled and let Liniang in. Seeing that the door was closed, he ordered the two of them to sit down and talk.

"Your Zhang Qi knew it was your footsteps coming from so far away."

Liniang smiled and said: "Don't say it's my footsteps, as long as he hears them once, he can remember them."

Qiu Wuhen was stunned: "So powerful?"

Zhang Qi chuckled, looking very honest, but Qiu Wuhen knew that this appearance could actually deceive many people, including himself back then.

Qiu Wuhen returned to the topic, looked at Liniang and said, "So long? I almost forgot to ask you to wait there, how about it?"

Liniang's expression darkened, she first glanced at Qiu Wuhen, then stood up and knelt down. This appearance shocked Qiu Wuhen, and quickly asked Zhang Qi to help Liniang up, and then said: "Sit down and talk.

, how big of a thing requires you to kneel down?"

"Sir, it was me who failed to manage this yard well, and something so embarrassing happened. Please punish me."

"Speak first. Don't say that I don't have this courtyard. Even if it's a palace, isn't it a matter of privacy?"

Liniang nodded, thought for a while, and said: "The thing is like this..."

It turned out that after Qiu Wuhen left, Liniang was worried about being discovered, so she jumped up to a big tree next to the pavilion. From this position, she could see the people walking not far away and the situation in the pavilion clearly.

.

While waiting for a cup of tea, she saw a man dressed as a servant looking around. He walked into the pavilion and handed something to Yu'er. Liniang initially thought it was Yu'er messing around with the servant in the yard. After all, such a thing

There are them in every deep house and compound. It doesn't matter. As long as no big trouble happens, they can be kicked out or sold.

But when the man dressed as a boy opened his mouth, it was a woman's voice. Liniang heard it was the third girl's voice. She only heard her whisper to Yu'er, asking Yu'er to give the things to a man named Dong Lang, and also

He said that he would definitely find time to see the man named Dong Lang the next day. He said that he originally wanted to go in person, but Miss Jin suddenly said that she wanted to come over to deliver something to her, and she couldn't leave. She even cursed and waited.

Yu'er left, and Liniang saw the third girl going back to her yard, so she followed Yu'er, but found that Yu'er had actually gotten through a hole the size of a dog hole dug out of a backyard vegetable patch at some point.

Go out, and then use a pile of dead branches to cover it before leaving.

Qiu Wuhen frowned. This is no small matter. After all, Su Jinxiang is still thirteen years old, two years younger than Su Jinmei. Does a thirteen-year-old girl actually know how to give and receive in private? Suddenly, she remembered what Zhang Qi had told him before.

I saw this little girl on the street early in the morning.

"Liniang, you should follow that Yu'er to see where that man named Dong Lang lives?" Zhang Qi said.

Liniang said: "That place is out. There is a river not far away. You have to cross the river to get to the street. I guess Yu'er has to cross the river. I am a landlubber, you know."

Liniang said with some embarrassment.

Qiu Wuhen said: "It doesn't matter, this matter is easy to handle."

Zhang Qi looked at Qiu Wuhen, and Qiu Wuhen said: "First of all, we haven't been in Beijing for a long time. The two girls at home have always stayed at home, and my wife didn't let them go out.

It has only been a long time, and I probably only went out once or twice, and I was accompanied by servants and maids, so it is unlikely that I will meet people in private. We can start with the guests who come to our home. After all, during the Chinese New Year, those who come to our home to celebrate the New Year

In addition to people we know, there are also people we don’t know, and those people we don’t know are brought here by people we know.”

Zhang Qidao: "I also think that this possibility is very high. On weekdays, the third girl is very adventurous. During the Chinese New Year, Madam is busy with other things, so naturally she can't take care of the possibility of meeting and chatting with the guests."

great."

Liniang thought for a while and said, "But I don't remember anyone named Dong coming?"

Qiu Wuhen said: "You only think about people of similar age to us, and think that they are all people with official status, but you shouldn't care that these people with official status will bring their children and the children of relatives.

, after all, they all know that our family still has two girls waiting to be married, and although I am only a fifth-grade official, but... haha."

Zhang Qi and Liniang both understood. Yes, although Qiu Wuhen's official rank is not high, he is from the Imperial Hospital after all, and the most important thing is that he has a close relationship with the prince. Now Su Jinsong also has a close relationship with the princess.

Well, we are very close friends with the King of Hell, Lei Mu and Lei Qianhu, the living king of Jin Yiwei. It would be great to get married with their family and climb the big tree of the prince. Moreover, I heard that the Queen Mother and the Emperor also value this very much.

A rookie official has only been in the capital for less than a year, so sometimes the official rank is not important. What is important is whether this person has room for further development in the future.

"Then Sir...what should we do next? Do we want to tell Madam?" Liniang asked.

Qiu Wuhen thought for a while and said: "You should tell Madam about this matter. After all, in her heart, you are the steward of her house and a sister she can trust and rely on. Go and tell her, better than me."

It's better to say that this is a girl's matter after all, I am the brother-in-law after all, so it's not appropriate."

Liniang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I will not punish you. I have already thanked you so much. I will go and seal the hole in the vegetable patch in the backyard early tomorrow morning."

Almost at the same time, Zhang Qi and Qiu Wuhen said in unison: "No!"

After saying that, Zhang Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, while Qiu Wuhen smiled and said: "We haven't found the person named Dong Lang yet, so we can't scare the snake away. You can talk to my wife later and think of something."

What can we do? Don’t let the third girl go out for the time being."

Liniang said: "What if the third girl insists on going out?"

Qiu Wuhen looked at Liniang and smiled meaningfully, and said, "You are not allowed to go out during the day. Isn't there a dog hole where you can crawl through at night?"

Liniang smiled and nodded, Qiu Wuhen said: "Okay, you go and rest, Zhang Qi and I will stay for a while."

Liniang knew that their men still had something to say, so she got up and left.

After Liniang went out, Qiu Wuhen walked up to Zhang Qi, whispered something like this, and then said: "Women are much better than us in matters in the backyard of the deep house, but my wife is not good at it, and I have neither

There is no concubine, no intercourse, and no opportunity for her to practice, so this incident can be regarded as giving her a chance to practice, but remember, you must not let the third girl really suffer."

Zhang Qi nodded, bowed his hands and went out.

Qiu Wuhen let out a long sigh and said, "Thirteen years old? What do you know at the age of thirteen? Do you want to get married at the age of thirteen?"

Then I thought that besides the thirteen-year-old, there were two other fifteen-year-olds and sixteen-year-olds in the family. I couldn't help sighing and said to Yaohulu: "You don't want me to make money. Why don't you just want me to grow vegetables and raise pigs?"

When a girl gets married, will she give her a fat pig or cabbage as her dowry?"

Yao Hulu ignored him, and Qiu Wuhen scolded him coldly, saying: "You think a good official with two sleeves and clear wind is easy to do, but it doesn't look good. Really, from now on, if I treat people for ten taels of silver, I won't do it anymore, at least

I want fifteen taels!"

"Go out!" Finally, two words came out of the medicine gourd.

Qiu Wuhen then smiled bitterly and said, "How about... twenty taels?"

“What a beautiful thought!”

"Oh my God! Even a thirteen-year-old girl is missing spring. Where is the spring of my Qiu Wuhen?"

Then, to Qiu Wuhen's surprise, early the next morning, while he was having breakfast with his wife, the concierge hurried over and delivered an envelope.

Liniang took it and handed it to Qiu Wuhen. The concierge said, "It's from Washington." After that, she left.

Su Jinsong glanced at the envelope and said, "Did Hua Ye send it? Did he send a letter to my husband early in the morning? Is his condition relapsing?"

Qiu Wuhen opened it and saw a piece of letter and a banknote, five hundred taels?! What the hell? So much. It was just a small operation on his fair butt. He didn't need so much.

Money, right?

Looking at the few words on the letter, Su Jinsong was curious and asked: "What is it written on?"

Qiu Wuhen said with a smile: "He said he was thanking me, but this is the medical fee. He also said he had to collect it. If I didn't collect it, he wouldn't treat you again in the future."

Qiu Wuhen seemed to be saying this to Su Jinsong, but in fact it was said to him by the medicine gourd. He is now a worried elder brother-in-law, with two aunts to be married, and a golden girl who is taking care of an orphan. Oh my god.

!

Sure enough, this time, Yao Gulu actually shut up, hahahahaha... he couldn't stop laughing!

Su Jinsong had already finished his meal. He took the handkerchief handed over by Xue Hua and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, then said: "It's okay, I know your husband's rules. When I go back for a follow-up visit, I will give this banknote to Mrs. Hua."

That’s it.”
