A Zhu looked at Yuan Qi's eyes and immediately tied him up and threw him into the carriage.
Motoqi turned around and was about to get in the car, but was stopped by the miracle doctor.
"Where are you going? The medicine hasn't been finished yet."
"Let's go to the entrance of the village and meet Magistrate Wei." Yuanqi paused and then said, "Be back soon."
The miracle doctor rolled his eyes and walked into the room angrily.
Cheng Qinghan looked at the carriage going away, and then at the miracle doctor who walked in. Will Yuan Qi come back later?
On the carriage, Yuan Qi glanced at the half-dead Jia Yi, got up and walked outside to sit with A Zhu.
"How is Cheng's investigation going?"
"We only found out that there was a thirteen-year-old girl named Huan Xihua in the Cheng Mansion. When the house was raided, this girl was in the Prince's Mansion. Later, officers and soldiers searched for her but could not find her. She is similar in age to Mrs. Cheng."
Yuan Qi lowered his eyes and thought carefully: "Have you not found out about Cheng's past?"
A Zhu shook his head: "Mrs. Cheng said she was from the capital, but there is no trace at all in the capital. Logically speaking, even if Mrs. Cheng's mother-in-law is dead, there should be a grave. But our people, there is no trace at all.
No news was found.”
Yuan Qi looked at the sky and suddenly chuckled: "There is no need to check. It seems that someone deliberately concealed her whereabouts."
"But, sir, doesn't this prove that Mrs. Cheng is indeed suspicious?"
Yuan Qi responded softly: "The Cheng family is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and smuggling the country. The nine clans should be destroyed. If the Cheng family is really the daughter of the Cheng family, if the truth is found out now, the mother and daughter will undoubtedly die."
A Zhu immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.
The moon was as bright as day, and Cheng Qingwan sat in the yard, staring blankly at the sky.
The snoring sound of the miracle doctor came from inside the house. She rubbed her forehead, looked at the three people sitting with her in the yard, and smiled helplessly.
"Huanwen, why don't you go sleep at my house tonight and leave the room to Mr. Yuan? It's almost time and I really can't stand it any longer." Song Qiaoqiao yawned and fell on her shoulder.
.
Cheng Qingwen looked at the two women who were also yawning and said softly: "That's okay. How come this miracle doctor fell asleep so quickly? I just turned my head and he fell asleep."
She stretched and was about to stand up when the black carriage appeared in the yard.
Yuan Qi and A Zhu got off the carriage and walked towards them.
"Where's the miracle doctor?"
Cheng Qingwen pointed to the room, where the loud snoring never stopped.
"Azhu, go wake up the miracle doctor."
After hearing the order, Ah Zhu quickly walked into the house.
Yuan Qi took out the jade pendant, handed it to the girl in front of him and said, "According to Song Da's words, we found these sold dowries in the pawn shop."
Cheng Qinghan took the jade pendant, but before she could take a closer look, Cheng Huaer took it away.
"I finally found this jade pendant. I'll take it and put it away right away."
Yuan Qi looked at her actions, smiled softly, and said to the girl: "Do you know what the words are written on the jade pendant?"
Cheng Qingwen frowned. Of course she didn't know if she knew ancient Chinese, so she shook her head.
"Yuanjun, a name with a very good meaning." Yuan Qi was speaking to the girl, but his eyes were directed at the woman who turned around: "I think the last wife of Cheng Shangshu used these two words, Xie Yuanjun.
"
Hearing the name, Cheng Hua'er paused, then quickly walked into the house.
Cheng Qingwen was at a loss. He didn't even know how to mention the minister in such a smooth way, even saying the wife's surname.
Yuan Qi watched the miracle doctor come out and said softly to the girl: "It's getting late, so I'll take the miracle doctor back first."
Cheng Qinghan nodded and sent the person away with a smile.
As soon as the person left, his face immediately fell, and he yawned and walked back to the room.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw that Cheng Hua'er was already sleeping with Aunt Liu. Without thinking much, she walked straight to the cubicle and lay down next to Song Qiaoqiao, and fell asleep soon after.
When she got up the next day, Cheng Hua'er fell ill. I wonder if she caught a cold last night, but her old illness relapsed and she coughed up blood.
Cheng Qingwen was taking the medicine, and the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. Ever since she took the miracle doctor's medicine, my mother-in-law has not been sick for more than half a year. Even if the cold wind blows outside, her old illness has never relapsed like today.
She thought about it and decided that she still had to ask the miracle doctor to come and see her again.
"Huanwen, should I have roasted wheat rice or wheat porridge this morning?" Song Qiaoqiao poked her head out of the kitchen and asked.
"Wheat porridge and corn bar."
When Song Qiaoqiao heard the answer, she quickly got into the house and started working.
After a while, Cheng Qingwen brought the prepared medicine into the house and fed the woman to drink it.
"Sorry to trouble you, Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu shook her head and said with a smile: "What's the trouble? The money for my husband's burial was given to me by your mother-in-law. It's a rare opportunity for me to take care of her, so I should repay this kindness."
"Why do you remember so clearly what happened a few years ago?" Cheng Hua'er said sickly.
Cheng Qingwen looked at the emotional look of these two people, turned around and walked out with the medicine bowl in hand.
She looked at the busy figures in the kitchen, and her eyes felt sour for some reason.
By the time the carriage arrived, Cheng Qingwan had already put today's wheat rice and corn into the bucket.
A Zhu got down from the carriage and said, "My lord, you have some business at the entrance of the village, so you asked me to pick you up."
Cheng Qingwen nodded, and the three of them worked together to load the things into the carriage.
She walked into the house, exchanged a few words with the woman inside, and then got into the carriage with Song Qiaoqiao.
After Song Qiaoqiao got on the carriage, she felt like pins and needles, restless.
"What's wrong?"
"This carriage is so luxurious, I have never made one before." Song Qiaoqiao said with a blushing face.
Cheng Qingwen was stunned when he heard this and looked up at the carriage.
The space is large, and the decoration is mainly black. There are soft cushions on both the main and secondary seats, and the black blanket on the feet is also very soft. On the far right side of the main seat, there is a bead inlaid.
There is a table in the middle, with pens, ink, paper, inkstones and books on one side, and incense on the other side.
Cheng Qinghan didn't know what kind of fragrance it was, but it smelled very comfortable.
The first two times I took the carriage, I was in a hurry and didn't look at the decorations carefully at all.
Looking at it now, it turns out that he is from a famous family.
"Tsk, when I get rich, I will also buy a carriage like this."
When Song Qiaoqiao heard this, she immediately thought of the corn accumulated in the cellar: "Huanhua, what are you going to do with the corn in the cellar? It will become stale in a few days."
"We can't enter the city now, so let's give it to the refugees. As for the soybeans, you can keep them for as long as you want. If it doesn't work, I'll make them into tofu and sell them."
Song Qiaoqiao responded: "Then we've been eating corn for the past two days. We have five hundred kilograms of corn."
Cheng Qingwen choked on her saliva, quickly took a book, covered her face, and glanced at it casually, but found that she didn't recognize a word, so she quickly put it down.
Song Qiaoqiao looked at this scene, smiled softly, and then turned away her eyes.
Soon they arrived at the entrance of the village. As soon as the two got off the carriage, officers and soldiers came to carry it, so there was no need for them at all.
Cheng Qingwen looked at Yuan Qi not far away, walked over quickly, and was about to speak when she realized there was a person standing in front of him.
"Who is this?"
"This is the girl from the Cheng family. She has cooked all the meals these days." Yuan Qi said softly: "Miss Cheng, this is the Wei County Magistrate."
"Hello, Magistrate Wei."
Magistrate Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Miss Cheng and Lord Yuan must have something to say, so I will go over there to see the refugees first."
Yuan Qi nodded slightly, watched him walk away, and then lowered his head to look at the person in front of him.
"What's wrong with Miss Cheng?"
"I just want to ask how the situation is in the town. When can I enter the city?"
"The town is very good. No refugees have entered. It's just that we can't enter now. I'm afraid we have to wait until the epidemic has passed before we can go."
Cheng Qingwen bit her lower lip when she heard this. Although she had hundreds of kilograms of grain in the cellar and would not starve to death, the tomatoes she planted would mature in a few days, and the corn could still be eaten by the refugees.
, but tomatoes are expensive, so I just want to sell them to make money.
Yuan Qi looked at her with a sad look on her face and didn't speak for a long time, so he asked: "What's wrong?"
"The tomatoes in my field will be ripe in a few days, and I want to take them to the town to sell them."
"tomato??!"
Cheng Qinghan looked at the surprised look of the person in front of him and nodded slowly.
"Tomatoes are a tribute from the vassal state. There are only three or four kilograms a year. They are only for the royal family. How did you grow them?"
Motoqi couldn't help but raise his voice with excitement, grabbed her wrist, and asked.
"Well, I just accidentally bought seeds from a vendor. I saw nothing special, so I planted them." Cheng Qinghan wanted to retract his hand, but was pulled tightly.
"What kind of vendor, do you still remember what he looks like?" Yuan Qi's eyes were shining at this moment. He wished she could draw that person right now, and he even used his hands involuntarily.
"Master Yuan!" Cheng Qingwen exclaimed and said quickly: "You can go to my house later to see if the tomatoes are really tribute tomatoes. Maybe the vendor deceived me."
Yuan Qi calmed down after hearing this, looked at the slender wrist in his hand, and quickly let go of his hand: "Miss Cheng, please forgive me, I was rude."
Cheng Qingwen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head: "It's okay. Sir, please come to our house later to see if there is any mistake. I have never seen tribute tomatoes, and I don't know if the traveling merchant is lying to me.
."
"Later, I will go back with you."
Yuan Qi looked at her now, his eyes shining as if he were seeing a rare treasure.
The miracle doctor in the distance looked at the interaction between the two people with an aunt's smile on his face, and he did not forget to share it with County Magistrate Wei beside him.
Wei Xian touched his beard and responded with a smile: "You are a talented man and a beautiful woman."
After a while, he suddenly realized: "It's just that Miss Cheng comes from a small family, so I'm afraid Mrs. Yuan won't agree."
"Yuanqi has been fearless since he was a child. He doesn't even listen to his biological mother, but he still listens to this stepmother?" The miracle doctor snorted coldly: "The old lady doesn't care about things and only dotes on her. Because my father feels a debt in his heart, he naturally obeys.
It depends on what he wants. Just watch, these two will definitely make it happen."
If Cheng Qingwen heard this, he would definitely vomit blood. In such an awkward atmosphere between the two of them, no one could think of love between a man and a woman...
