Fan Yilin took the letter in person and went to see his third brother.
But he didn't want to meet his father there. He wanted to shrink back immediately, but the boy had already passed him in, so he had to go in bravely.
"Is it fun for you to fight cocks and walk dogs all day?" Father Fan, like all fathers, looked at his son with a serious expression, especially when facing this unfulfilled son, he was as cruel as an enemy.
"It's boring." Fan Yilin said obediently.
"What are you doing? I heard that you can almost choke to death if you eat eggs, what else can you do?" Father Fan shouted with a glare.
He had no privacy at home. How come the whole family knew about it after just a little while? Fan Yilin wondered.
"My little brother has already entered the state of Mr. Li Ge before he entered the official department." Mr. Fan said with a smile.
Li Huaiqing, who is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, is a veteran of the cabinet. He can shake his head when he stomps his feet, but this is not a compliment. Mr. Fan is not praising his younger brother for his status as a cabinet minister, but the senior Li Ge.
I choked on eggs for a few days, and now I'm still lying in bed, unconscious and in danger.
Fan Yilin glared at his brother angrily, but he didn't dare to say anything when he asked for something.
Father Fan hummed, expressing his dissatisfaction with his son's joke.
Even though the father and son were brothers behind closed doors, it was still inappropriate to make fun of such a prominent figure.
"Didn't you go ask Dr. Zhou? How about it?" he asked in a deep voice.
Mr. Fan smiled.
"It's not good to invite anyone else. If you have to invite Imperial Physician Zhou, what nice words can you say?" He said with a smile, "What's more, Imperial Physician Zhou went out more than 20 days ago, and no one knows where he went.
When I begged the emperor, His Majesty said there was nothing he could do. Even if the sky collapsed here, Dr. Zhou would not come back. Don't count on it. You should find another way."
There's really nothing we can do about it.
"Although Dr. Zhou's words are unpleasant, he is very convincing. As long as he says he can save him, he can't be taken away even by the Lord of Hell himself." Father Fan said. This is why Zhou Maochun, who is difficult to recruit and has a very bad attitude, is still like this.
Because of popularity.
Because they have that kind of ability, so why don’t you accept it?
"It seems there is no hope this time. The Li family has already prepared funeral arrangements." Mr. Fan said.
Fan Yilin was initially bored by what he heard. These elders couldn't compete with him. He wanted to leave but didn't dare to leave. Suddenly, he suddenly had a clever idea and thought of something.
"Help!" he shouted suddenly and stood up.
The father and son who regarded him as a transparent person were startled by his shout.
"Get out." Father Fan frowned.
These words were something Fan Yilin could not have wished for, but this time he did not obey them happily, but took a step forward.
"Li Ge can be saved! I know who can save him!" he shouted with a cheerful smile.
"Who?" Father Fan asked with a frown.
"Mrs. Qi!" Fan Yilin said, knowing that his father must not know who Mrs. Qi is, so he explained thoughtfully, "She was the one who treated me when I choked on an egg today..."
Before he could finish his words, Father Fan kicked him out angrily.
"There's nothing else in his eyes except women, and he just yells about everything." Father Fan blew his beard angrily.
"He also means well." Mr. Fan still defended his little brother and said hurriedly.
"Mrs. Qi! Mrs. Qi of Yongqing Mansion! Haven't you heard? The imperial court personally commended the person who made great contributions to the prevention and control of the epidemic this time...I'm not talking nonsense..."
Fan Yilin's unconvinced voice came from outside.
"This bastard..." Father Fan angrily wanted to go out, but Mr. Fan held him back.
"Father, Mrs. Qi, who treats the plague in Yongqing Mansion..." he reminded.
Father Fan stopped and frowned slightly.
The territory is vast, and things from all over the country are brought together every day. The imperial court knows how many things are coming together. Even though you are an official in the middle of the court, you cannot know everything. This epidemic is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel and Imperial Hospital. Not many outsiders know the specific details.
I just listened to it when the previous court was discussing rewards and punishments, because it was a rare thing to reward a woman, so I had an impression, and now I mentioned it and remembered it.
Father Fan pondered for a moment, then called Fan Yilin from outside to ask about Mrs. Qi.
What did Fan Yilin know? Apart from knowing that she was a beauty and that she had a fight with her father-in-law's family, she didn't dare to tell anyone about her. The rest was just a few words she heard from the Wang family, and most of them she didn't take into heart.
"Anyway, he is a miracle doctor, and everyone in Yongqing Mansion knows about it," he said.
Father Fan couldn't tell anything from the questions, so he lost interest.
"Everyone in Yongqing Prefecture knows about it, why doesn't Taiyuan Hospital know about it? Miracle doctors, miracle doctors, no matter how big a place is in Yongqing Prefecture, let's just call it a miracle doctor. What kind of miracle doctor can you use when you get to the capital? Just like the imperial examination, and the heads of cases from various states gather in the capital, who can do it?"
You dare to go around shouting that you are the leader of the crime." He said angrily, "Go away, don't make noises if you have nothing to do. Those who know are saying you are kind, and those who don't know are saying you are causing trouble."
"If Madam Qi is really that powerful, the Imperial Hospital will naturally ask her to diagnose and treat Mr. Li Ge. We laymen should not worry about it," Third Master Fan ordered.
"Perhaps Tai Hospital doesn't know that Madam Qi has come to Beijing yet, so it's better to remind her to ask Madam Qi to see a doctor as soon as possible to avoid delays." Fan Yilin thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I understand, who do you want me to deliver the letter to?" Sanye Fan asked, changing the subject.
Fan Yilin hurriedly delivered the letter.
"Chang Yuncheng, the crown prince of Dingxi," he said, and his eyes lit up when he said this, "This lady Qi is his ex-wife."
What?
Fan's father and Fan Sanye were both stunned for a moment.
When the imperial court awarded the award, it was not mentioned that Mrs. Qi was still the young lady of Dingxihou. It was only said that Mrs. Qi was from Qianjintang. Is there such a relationship between the two?
"Young Madam Dingxihou?" Father Fan asked.
"Front." Fan Yilin added.
If Fan’s father had half faith in the word “miraculous doctor” at the beginning because of his ability to prevent and cure plague, after hearing these words, that belief disappeared.
The young lady of Dingxihou Mansion is a miracle doctor? What a joke!
"Go, go, go." Father Fan said without saying a word, waving his hands and blasting people.
Fan Yilin felt humiliated by being kicked out twice.
"Taking people based on their status! Ignorant and ill-informed! I don't understand gold and jade!" He was also impatient and rolled his sleeves angrily, feeling that continuing to argue would be an insult to the beautiful miracle doctor.
The Fan family father and son had a dispute over themselves, and of course Qi Yue didn't know about it.
Because he found another way and it should be a very reliable way to send a letter to Chang Yuncheng, Qi Yue was in a good mood. He took Aru and others on a good tour of the capital and collected some gifts for Chang Yuncheng.
, didn’t return to Chen’s house until dark.
Mrs. Chen was already at home and was in a hurry to send someone to look for them. She was relieved when she saw Qi Yue, who had returned home with loads of things, come in.
"Have you eaten yet?" She stepped forward and took Qi Yue's hand and asked.
Qi Yue nodded, and Ah Hao couldn't help but cheered and pointed her finger at the second lady to tell her what she had eaten.
"You said it as if you have never been out." Aru couldn't help but pull Ahao's sleeves and whispered.
"It's not like I've never been out before. The capital is so prosperous. I've only heard about it before, but this is the first time I've seen it." Ah Hao said with a pout.
Qi Yue just smiled and let them talk as they pleased.
The Second Madam was slightly startled when she heard Ah Hao's words. She turned around and saw Qi Yue smiling slightly, with a look that seemed familiar to her, and was even more stunned.
"I don't know what it's like outside..."
The young man stood on the rock and looked at the high wall.
There was still a slight smile on his face when he said this.
"..Have you ever been to the street market in Beijing? What kind of excitement is it?"
He turned his head, his clear eyes unable to conceal his curiosity.
"...I can't get out. I'm worse than a bird. If a bird flies out of here, it might be shot to death the next moment, but at least I can see the outside. I can't even climb the wall."
The second lady stretched out her hands to cover her face.
So, in the end, I still didn’t see it until I died….
Qi Yue then noticed something strange about her and was startled.
"Aunt, what's wrong?" she hurriedly supported the second lady and asked.
Ah Hao and Ah Ru didn't dare to speak either.
"I'm fine." The second lady said with a smile, without putting down her hands, "I had two extra glasses of wine at home and I'm a little dizzy."
Without waiting for Qi Yue to speak, he patted her arm.
"I'm going to bed first, and you should go to bed early. You're very tired after playing all day." She said, holding the hand of the girl beside her.
Qi Yue saw that her eyes were slightly red, she was not drunk, she was about to cry.
Maybe it was because I saw my family members getting emotional...
"Okay, go ahead." She said, mouthing to Caiqing.
Call me anytime if you need anything.
Cai Qing nodded in understanding and helped the second lady walk away.
Ah Hao here was so scared that he was dumbfounded.
Qi Yue turned around and stuck out her tongue and smiled.
Ah Hao couldn't help but be amused.
The tension immediately dissipated.
"Let's go. Let's go back and divide it up. Don't mix the things you picked up, especially mine. Don't be greedy." Qi Yue shook her head and left first.
Ah Hao said yes and followed happily, carrying his things.
Aru exhaled behind him and looked at Hu San aside.
"Following the Young Madam is really a blessing gained from my previous life," she said.
"That's right." Hu San, who rarely looked serious for a moment, sighed and said, "When I think about the day I came to your house to see Yuan Bao, it must have been my damn father and grandfather who pushed me there..."
A Ru couldn't help but laugh and glared at him.
Hu San chuckled, his deep expression wiped away.
"Okay, go and wash up and have a rest early." Aru said, "I have to go find an escort agency tomorrow."
"Escort agency?" Hu San said, "Do you really want to go?"
Aru nodded.
"She will do whatever she says," she said, looking at the woman in front of her who was walking and laughing with Ah Hao.
"But it's so far away..." Hu San frowned with worry on his face, and then looked at Xiaoqu beside him, "You still can't contact the prince? It would be best if he comes back to see the master."
Xiaoqu sighed.
"The prince was afraid that my wife would be uncomfortable, so he completely cut off contact with us. The letter was sent as usual, but I don't know why there is still no news." He said.
"It's okay, don't think about it, just go and go. Just like the lady said, walk around this colorful world and see the great rivers and mountains." Ah Hao said, "Maybe halfway through, the prince will pick him up."
This is very possible, Hu San and Xiao Qu both nodded.
"You should also go to bed early." Hu San asked again.
Aru nodded, and Hu San and Xiaoqu walked away.
Night covered the house. This was the second night after arriving in the capital, and Qi Yue slept more soundly.
The second lady in another room couldn't sleep. She sat on the bed, looked at a jade pendant in her hand with the help of a floor lamp, and burst into tears.
"Whatever you do with my things, my things are unlucky..."
The young man's slightly reproachful words rang in her ears, and she held the jade pendant tightly in her hands.
Your things are all yours in the world. If you can’t see or get them, how can you be willing to do so...*** (To be continued)
