Chapter 202 Face to face, clear sky, ten thousand moons and the jade
Yang Mo sat for a while and stood up and told Chun He, "Get the carriage and horses ready at the door. I'm going to the medicine shop."
Aunt Lu rushed over after hearing this, "Why did you remember to go to the pharmacy?"
Yang Mo responded casually and waited until she had some clues about her father before telling her aunt. She got on the carriage and soon arrived at Baohe Hall. Yang Mo asked shopkeeper Jiang to go to Zhou Chengling's pharmacy and ask, "I have something to ask over there."
's owner."
Although Miss Yang spoke vaguely, Shopkeeper Jiang understood it and immediately said, "Don't worry, Miss. I'll go and ask."
After a while, Shopkeeper Jiang said: "Master Zhou is not at the drug store. There is a carriage parked at the back door of Baohe Hall. If Miss is in a hurry, just take the carriage over."
Now that he couldn't care so much, Yang Mo wanted to ask Zhou Chengling immediately.
Chun He brought Mi Li for Yang Mo to wear, and a few people went to the backyard and sat in the Zhou family's car. The woman who was following the car respectfully invited Yang Mo to get in. The servant who drove the car didn't say a word, let alone dare to
Nunuo parked the carriage steadily in front of a house.
Before Yang Mo got out of the car, a servant came and said, "Miss, wait a moment, our master is coming out to greet you."
Yang Mo said "hmm".
In a moment, the curtain was lifted, and Zhou Chengling stood in front of the carriage wearing a sky blue robe.
Chunhe got out of the car first, and then helped Yang Mo down.
Several people entered the house, and Zhou Chengling said: "There is a discussion in the front yard. The back yard is quieter. If you want us to go there and talk," he paused, "Don't worry, there is no one else in the back yard, only a few women waiting for you. If you
If you don’t like it, I’ll ask everyone to leave.”
Yang Mo shook her head, "Don't bother me. I have something to ask you. I'll leave after I finish."
Her eyes were a little heavy, and uncertainty flashed on her face. Zhou Chengling stopped and the two of them stood outside the hall, and the servants all retreated ten steps away.
Zhou Chengling waited quietly for Yang Mo to speak.
Yang Mo repeated what Wang Zhenting said in the prison and was thinking about expressing her doubts.
Zhou Chengling said: "You think I know your father's whereabouts, but I don't tell you because I'm afraid of being jealous by the emperor."
Yang Mo looked at Zhou Chengling in surprise. This person knows what you mean when you say the first sentence, so he never has to guess what others are thinking.
Now that the words have come to this, Yang Mo nodded, "The affairs of Anqing Mansion will involve Mr. Feng Ge, and Mr. Feng Ge is eager to involve you in my father's affairs..."
Yang Mo inadvertently looked up. Zhou Chengling, who was originally very serious, looked very quiet. He didn't know if he had listened to her words.
She couldn't guess Zhou Chengling's thoughts, so she simply didn't guess and asked directly. If she got a definite conclusion, she didn't have to worry anymore and just dropped her hand.
After Zhou Chengling heard what Yang Mo said, he met Yang Mo's gaze and said, "I don't want to live a useless life, but I don't do things unscrupulously and do anything." As he said this, he stretched out his hand to pull Yang Mo.
His long and big hands held her wrist through her sleeves and said, "Follow me."
The yard was very quiet, and I met no servants along the way. I just walked to the Moon Gate and saw Jiang Ping waiting there.
When Jiang Ping saw Zhou Chengling and Yang Mo, his back straightened immediately.
"Let the people in the study disperse!"
Jiang Ping responded, asked Ajiu to send away the staff, and then cleaned up briefly before Zhou Chengling brought Yang Mo in.
There were two crescent tables with folded passionflower branches in the room. There were nine lamps on the table. There was a thick pile of letters and other items on the table. Zhou Chengling walked over and took out a few letters from them and handed them to Yang Mo.
, "Your father is very famous in Anqing Mansion," he said with a slight pause, "The transfer of officials outside the capital is different from those within the capital. Officials in the capital may seem to have high positions and power, but in fact they are not as formal as local officials. Your father is in Anqing
After so many years in the government, you should have made a lot of friends, not to mention that your father committed the crime to speak for the people of Anqing. If he escaped, someone from the Anqing government should take care of him, so if you want to investigate, you must start from Anqing.
The letters you read are the news returned by people who went to Anqing to investigate quietly. Although there was some progress, there was no definite result, so I did not mention it to you."
Yang Mo opened a letter and carefully wrote down which family her father had friendship with in Anqing Mansion and how these people had changed since her father committed the crime. The Han family was mentioned in it.
Yang Mo said: "Is Han Ji from this Han family?"
Zhou Chengling said: "Han Ji is not a direct relative of the Han family, he is considered a side branch."
That means there is a connection. According to the letter, the Han family in Anqing Prefecture is a wealthy family. Yang Mo said: "If my father is still alive, he has never contacted his family in these years." Seeing this, she became confused again.
"Don't think about this," Zhou Chengling looked at Yang Mo, "You have already endured the worst outcome, and there will be no worse situation."
If this clumsy talk can be considered a consolation, she is indeed much more comfortable now.
Yang Mo put the letter in her hand back on the desk and read the rest without reading any more.
Zhou Chengling turned his head and glanced out the window, "It's getting dark soon. I'll let my servants cook something to eat. I'd better send you back now."
Knowing that she could not stay for dinner, this was deliberately teasing her. Yang Mo sat for a while and drank a few sips of the tea served by the servants. The waiters were all older women, who walked lightly and did things neatly. After coming up,
His eyes never glanced to the side.
The tea was brewed very well, neither strong nor light. Yang Mo put down the teacup and raised her head to find Zhou Chengling looking at her neck. The wound had long stopped hurting, but now that he looked at her like this, she felt a little uncomfortable. She thought
He wanted to reach out and touch it. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. Yang Mo simply stood up and said, "I'm leaving, and my aunt is still waiting for me to come home."
She came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
He was afraid that she would scare her away and would never come to talk to him again, so he did not pursue her intentionally.
Zhou Chengling walked beside her, always keeping half a step away from her no matter whether she took long or small steps. Yang Mo got on the carriage and quickly returned to Baohe Hall, and then changed carriages before returning to Yang's house.
After walking around and returning to the room, Yang Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Lu ordered the kitchen to start setting up food, then walked to Yang Mo and sat down, "I heard that you are going to open a free clinic? My neighbor's aunt asked me about it. She wanted to go but didn't know if she could get in."
Yang Mo nodded, "The drug store has accepted apprentices, and they have to learn various pulse tests. I thought it would be better to have a half-day free clinic every two days. Let's try this first. When we have better conditions in the future, we will do free clinics every other day.
, the neighbor’s aunt wanted to see her, so she went to Baohe Tang to make a note earlier. We arranged the time for the consultation and went to tell her. "
Aunt Lu smiled and said, "I'll tell her tomorrow so that she won't have to wait anxiously."
After dinner, Yang Mo went back to her room to read. Tomorrow she would start teaching medical skills to her disciples. As a teacher, she should at least have a decent lesson plan.
…
Qiao Wenjing was still struggling in Shuntian Mansion. His back was sore from standing all day, but the officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were still waiting for official documents.
Instead of reporting the results of the interrogation every day, Qiao Wenjing began to worry about where the servants of the Qiao family were being held. Since they were in the Shuntian Mansion Prison with Wang Zhenting, why were they not being held nearby? When asked about the jailer, the jailer looked like something.
It looks like I don't even know.
Really seeing a ghost, Qiao Wenjing frowned and simply wrote the official document before returning to the mansion.
After entering the house, Qiao Wenjing threw himself on the big Kang next to the window.
"Master, how is the situation over there?" Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but ask.
Qiao Wenjing lay silently. He always felt that this matter was strange. If that didn't work, he would have to go to see Mr. Feng Ge and ask Mr. Feng Ge what he meant by this.
Thinking of this, Qiao Wenjing couldn't help but scold Ge Shitong, "Damn Ge Shitong, they obviously took him away, but now he's playing tricks on me, and I can't believe I've seen him."
Mrs. Qiao didn't expect the matter to be so difficult, "Where's the jailer? The jailer doesn't want to say anything either?"
The people I met today were all crazy. Everyone seemed to be working against him. They were just a few petty officials. When he freed up some time, he would show them some color.
Qiao Wenjing didn't say anything. Qiao Yuechan came over to greet her father. When she saw her parents, they both looked dull, "Father is still worried about the Yang family?"
Qiao Wenjing glanced at Mrs. Qiao with an unhappy look on her face, "Why are you talking to a girl like her?"
Mrs. Qiao said: "I didn't mean to say it, but Yuechan happened to hear it, and it wasn't someone else, it happened to be the Yang family..."
Yes, it happens to be that damn Yang family.
Qiao Wenjing said: "It doesn't matter if you catch someone. If you confess, you will say you were beaten. If you don't confess, you say you caught the wrong person. You can't believe Wang Zhenting's words. A dying person might open his mouth and bite someone."
Qiao Yuechan said: "Father, I heard that there is a flower house near Yang's house. Seeing that the winter solstice is coming, we went to order some flowers. But we were arrested when we didn't expect it. Our family is still looking for someone everywhere. What do you think?
, We are a family of officials, and the Yang family is just the daughter of a guilty minister. Even if she opens a medicine shop now, she is only slightly famous among the people. Where can we put it on the big stage, we can still lose to her. "
Just because of these words, Qiao Wenjing didn't feel it was too urgent. "Think more about your own affairs," Qiao Wenjing pointed out, "This kid Chang Yining will most likely win the No. 1 Scholar."
When she heard her father talking about Chang Yining, Qiao Yuechan immediately blushed and turned around and walked out of the house without saying a word.
Mrs. Qiao sighed, "How can I say this in front of my daughter?"
Qiao Yuechan stopped outside the door and listened carefully.
Qiao Wenjing said: "The day is coming soon, so she knows it well," she paused slightly, "It's a pity that because of the Yang family, the Chang family has lost face and has been involved in lawsuits. I don't know how long it will take to get rid of it.
If it weren't for Chang Yining's knowledge, I would never have agreed to this marriage."
