Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 373
In the courtyard where Mrs. Qin lived, there was no maid and mother-in-law guarding the gate, and I don't know if it was normal, or because there was no one guarding because of the emergency today.

In short, the two entered the yard very smoothly.

The yard is huge and there are many rooms. In addition to the five main rooms, there are three side rooms on the east and west sides.At this time, all the maids and women in the courtyard gathered at the door of the main room, whispering something.

"What are you doing here, are you dead?"

"Cousin girl." The maids and women hurriedly dispersed.

"Is Qiao girl here?" Wang's weak voice came from inside.

"Aunt." Wang Qiaoqian ran in crying.

Wen Shu looked at the maids standing on both sides, thought for a while and didn't follow in, but stood quietly under the eaves listening to the movement inside, flashing Wang's previous appearance in her mind.

"Where have you been? Mother has been looking for you, and she has read it several times." Seeing Wang Qiaoqian coming in, Qin Jingyang accused.

"I'm looking for someone."

Wang Qiaoqian knelt down beside Wang's bed, "Auntie, I found her, the lost child, I found her. Promise me, stop doing stupid things, okay?"

Wang Shi looked at her with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth.

"You don't have to lie to me. I've given up on your marriage a long time ago. I've already told your uncle. After I leave. He will find you a good family."

"Aunt." Wang Qiaoqian choked up and couldn't speak.

"And Yang'er will treat you as her own younger sister. Don't be afraid of being wronged at her in-law's house in the future. Just come back and ask your brother and uncle for support."

After saying this, Wang gasped again and again, as if he was about to pass.The doctor who was standing by the side hastily stepped forward and gave her a few needles in the veins of the heart.

Wang Qiaoqian was so anxious that tears fell.

"Auntie, Auntie, I really found her! She's right outside the door, hold on, I'll call her in right away." After finishing speaking, she got up and went out.

This time Wen Shu didn't shake off Wang Qiaoqian's grasping hand, and obediently followed her into the inner room.

In the inner room, Mrs. Wang was lying weakly on the bed. Qin Pei sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand, his eyes were red.Qin Jingyang stood at the head of the bed wiping tears, and at the foot of the bed stood two doctors holding silver needles.

Seeing Wen Shu, the three of them were startled.

"Auntie, that's her. She's the child you're looking for." Wang Qiaoqian pulled Wen Shu to the bed.

"She, she." Not knowing whether it was because she was excited or because her body was too weak, Wang's lips moved for a while, but she didn't say a second word.

"Really, look, there is a birthmark here." Wang Qiaoqian immediately went to pick off the collar of Wenshu's neck. Although the other party hid for a while, she was still seen by the tall Qin Jingyang who was standing beside her.

"Really!" Qin Jingyang's eyes widened immediately, and he said to Wen Shu, "You and I made an appointment at Shilipo, why didn't you go that day?"

Wen Shu glanced at him, but didn't answer.

She only promised Wang Qiaoqian to come in and see Mrs. Qin for the last time, but she didn't intend to recognize her relatives.

"Are you talking?!" Seeing that she was silent, Qin Jingyang shouted.

Wen Shu still ignored her, but turned to Wang Qiaoqian and said, "I have fulfilled what I promised you, now can you tell me the whereabouts of "Meng Kuo Bi Tan"?"

"That's right, that's the voice, it's you!"

Hearing her words, Qin Jingyang immediately became excited, and rushed to Wen Shu's side in a few steps, and said to Wang: "Mother, it's her, the person I met that night was her, and the person who made an appointment with me was also her, I didn't lie you."

Wang looked at Wen Shu with her head tilted, and shed tears quietly. After a while, she stretched out her hand towards Qin Pei.Qin Pei understood and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and sat behind her to support her.

"Can you let me see that birthmark?" Wang said with difficulty, but her eyes glowed again.

Wen Shu didn't move.

Wang Qiaoqian looked at her imploringly.

She was silent for a moment and said: "If you can let me see the second volume of "Meng Kuo Bi Tan", that's all right."

In the current situation, it may be difficult to get out of the body.Before that, if you can get the second volume of "Meng Kuo Bi Tan", it will not be considered as nothing.

"Uncle." Wang Qiaoqian turned to Qin Pei again.

Qin Pei didn't look at her, but stared at Wen Shu with burning eyes, and asked, "How did you know about "Meng Kuo Bi Tan"?"

"I heard what people said."

"Who said that?"

"I've heard it mentioned by many people. Why, Mr. Xiang wants to interrogate me? Could it be that I have also broken the law after hearing "Meng Kuo Bi Tan"?"

Facing Qin Pei's pressing every step of the way, Wen Shu behaved calmly.

However, with a calm look on his face, in fact, his heart is not tight, and his eyes do not dare to meet Qin Pei's eyes.

Although the other party looks gentle and elegant, and his expression is not vicious, there is a feeling of calmness and prestige in people who have been in high positions for a long time.

Qin Pei is no exception.

Although Wen Shu is lively and courageous, she still feels somewhat guilty in front of such powerful officials.

The other party was about to say something, but Wang pulled his sleeve, "Third brother."

Facing the Wang family, Qin Pei has always been powerless, sighed and said: "I only have the middle book in my house, if you want to read it, I will ask someone to get it."

"I don't want the middle volume, I want the second volume."

"Why?"

"I've already read the booklet."

"Have you seen it?" Qin Pei looked at Wang Qiaoqian, "Did you show it to her?"

"Uncle, forgive me." Wang Qiaoqian immediately knelt down to plead guilty, and took out the two Chinese books in her sleeve.

"Qiaoer knows that she is wrong. Qiaoer should not have taken the books privately. It is because her aunt is seriously ill, and this little lady only loves "Meng Kuo Bi Tan". Uncle thinks about Qiaoer's filial piety, so forgive me."

"I only love "Mengkuo Bi Tan"? This is not a romance story book." Qin Pei questioned again.

Wen Shu said calmly: "Not every little lady likes to read romance stories."

The implication is that I just love reading this kind of idle books.

Qin Pei can hear it naturally, but he still has doubts, ""Mengxi Bi Tan" is not a public document printed and sold, but a private note, and no one who is not close can know it, so how can I know that the content is what you like? ?”

If you haven't seen it in advance, it means there is no purpose.

"Occasionally, I saw the first volume, and I only felt that the content was novel. Curious, I wanted to find the rest and read it to my heart's content."

"Book [-], have you seen Book [-]?" Hearing this, Qin Pei couldn't help sitting up straight beside him, and asked, "Where can I see it?"

"It's inconvenient to say."

"Don't you want the next volume?"

Want to, but can't say.After all, she promised Zhao Langjun.However, it is more important to ask about the whereabouts of the next book first.

"Master Xiang, tell me where the next volume is."

Are you going to threaten him?Qin Pei laughed from the bottom of his heart, and said, "I sent a friend off a month ago."

"Which friend?"

"It's not convenient to say."

Knowing that the other party was countering her, Wen Shumo said silently: "Since it's not convenient to say it, then I don't say it. I just like the content, and I think the Prime Minister does too."

No, she has no intention of prying into other people's private affairs, that's too dangerous.

"Since that's the case, how about we make a deal, Master Xiang will make me a record, and I will make a record for him, how about it?"

"The first book is in your hands?"

"The original manuscript is not here, but I have memorized the content. I can write a copy silently and give it to Xiangye."

"Such a thick book, do you remember it?"

Qin Pei expressed disbelief.

"I have no other advantages when I was young, just remember it well. If Master Xiang doesn't believe it, you can give it a try."

Qin Pei glanced at the two books at hand and agreed.But he didn't take the two books to test Wenshu, but asked Qin Jingyang to go to the table under the east window to get a book he wrote himself.
