"Mother,
Are we going to run away? Why? "Qin Keqing heard Xiao Zhi's words.
Qin Keqing was already more than five years old, and she already had her own thoughts and ideas. She still remembered that not long ago,
She was very afraid when her whole family ran for their lives.
She didn't want to run away.
Xiao Zhi forced a smile,
She said, "The master in this mansion wants to harm us,
We have to run away so that we can survive. "
"Mother, are you talking about the beautiful auntie? Why would the beautiful auntie harm us,
She was so nice to us. She dressed us in beautiful clothes and gave us delicious food.
Why would she harm us? "Qin Keqing asked.
She felt that the beautiful auntie was very good,
She really liked life here,
It was a bright and beautiful house,
Beautiful clothes, green rice, and vegetables with meat.
She really liked it here,
She wanted to live here forever.
Xiao Zhi was speechless,
She felt resentment towards Xia Lu in her heart,
She felt that..,
It was all Xia Lu's sugar-coated bullets that made the young infanta become bad,
"You're still young, so you don't understand. Some people are not really good to you. She actually wants to harm you."
"Harm me with what?" Qin Keqing tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"For example, she wants to do very, very bad things to us," Xiao Zhi said.
"Why would the beautiful sister do very, very bad things to us? Didn't someone do very, very bad things to us before we came here? The beautiful auntie protected us. If the beautiful auntie wants to do very, very bad things to us, she doesn't need to protect us at all, "Qin Keqing's face was full of confusion. She remembered very clearly how fierce those terrible people looked when they came to her door. Then, her father and mother took her to escape. It was not easy for the beautiful sister to appear to protect them. If she left now, what would those bad people appear again?
"You don't understand. Go back and rest." Xiao Zhi's expression was a little ugly, and her heart was filled with hatred. The madam of Ningguo Province was really good. She had won over the young infanta so quickly and let the young infanta speak up for her. It was really hateful.
Qin Keqing, who had never been scolded by Xiao Zhi, suddenly heard Xiao Zhi scolding her. She pursed her lips and felt very wronged. Then, she turned around and went back to her room.
Qin Ye could not help but sigh when he saw Qin Keqing return to her room. He patted Xiao Zhi's shoulder and comforted her softly. Qin Ye knew that Xiao Zhi was under a lot of pressure now. She had received her master's request to protect this child well. Now, this child actually did not understand her, so she naturally felt wronged. Qin Ye also knew that he could not blame this child. After all, it was Xiao Zhi's decision to seek refuge in Ningguo Province. Other than the imminent danger, Ningguo Province was indeed so good to their family that it made them speechless. If there was no danger, he would not have been willing to leave.
"The child is still young. When she grows up, she'll understand your painstaking efforts. You're doing this for her own good," Qin Ye said gently.
"Fortunately, you still understand me." Xiao Zhi leaned into Qin Ye's arms and thought to herself, 'She still can't sit still and wait for death. Tomorrow, she had to carefully plan and strive to leave Ningguo Province before the emperor emeritus returned to the capital.'
Jia Zhen and Xia Lu did not notice Xiao Zhi and Qin Ye's little actions. Recently, their attention had been attracted by Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng, who was supposed to participate in the imperial examination the next day, suddenly fell ill that night. He vomited and had diarrhea. Rongguo Province was instantly thrown into chaos, and even the Jia Daishan was alarmed.
"Second Young Master has signs of poisoning. He probably ate some unclean food by mistake." The imperial physician shook his head. It was said that this second young master was participating in this year's imperial examination. It was said that he was very knowledgeable. After this ordeal, he could forget about participating in the imperial examination tomorrow. No matter what, he would have to wait until next year.
When Jia Zheng saw the Jia Daishan, he said weakly, "I've made Master worry. It's all my fault. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Master this year."
"It's more important that you take care of yourself." Jia Daishan did not feel disappointed or disappointed. He had already learned about Jia Zheng's level from Jia Jing and his son-in-law, Lin Ruhai. After all, Lin Ruhai was the son-in-law of Rongguo Province. When he evaluated Jia Zheng, he was more reserved. However, Jia Jing did not have so many scruples. His evaluation was very direct. He directly said that if Jia Zheng continued to be superficial in his studies, he would not even be able to pass the xiucai examination in this lifetime. With Jia Jing and Lin Ruhai's evaluation, Jia Daishan did not have much hope for Jia Zheng this time.
Since there was no hope, there was naturally no disappointment. However, Jia Zheng's illness was really too strange. Jia Daishan did not show it on his face, but he was already thinking about this problem in his heart. Was Zheng 'er suddenly poisoned by a political enemy of the Jia family? Or was it someone else? Jia Daishan felt that this problem had to be investigated first. If one day, this person reached out to him, then it would be terrible. Jia Daishan was not afraid of death. With his current injuries, death would be a relief. However, because of his responsibilities in the Jia family, he always hoped that he could live a little longer. With his relationship with the Retired Emperor, the pressure on Jing 'er, Zheng' er, and So-er would also be reduced.
"Yes." Jia Zheng saw that he had finally muddled through this time and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, that manservant was not bad and offered him cowpeas. Cowpeas were eaten raw and could cause poisoning. Originally, he did not want to use this method to torture himself. Originally, when he was in the examination room, he wanted to make himself sick from the cold. However, now that it was early summer and the weather had turned hot, he froze for three days and did not fall ill. Fortunately, one of his manservants was smart and found him cowpeas. Although he was tortured badly, at least he saved his face.
When Jia Zhen received the news that he did not have to send Jia Zheng to the examination room, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. Jia Zhen slept longer in the morning and usually only woke up when it was time to leave. However, when sending Jia Zheng to the imperial examination, he had to wake up especially early. If it was for himself to participate in the imperial examination, it would be fine. However, since it was for Jia Zheng, how could Jia Zhen be willing?
Jia Zheng was sick, which was excellent news for Jia Zhen. However, good news was good news, and he still had to show some kindness. Jia Zhen asked Xia Lu to find some medicinal herbs and bring them to Jia Zheng.
Of course, Xia Lu did not have any objections. However, she felt that this kind of medicine was quite awkward. In modern times, if one went to visit a sick relative, they would only buy some fruits and leave 200 yuan as a token of their sincerity. Of course, ginseng and the like were counted as health supplements. However, in ancient times, they would send medicinal herbs.
Xia Lu was also a junior. This time, she also had to visit the elder who was sick. Therefore, she went to Xi Province with Jia Zhen. She and Jia Zhen were not the only ones who went there together. Jia Yao and the other two children were also there. Although the three children were still young, they were still juniors. If they did not come to visit Jia Zheng and were found out by others, they would be labeled as unfilial.
As soon as they arrived at the second branch's courtyard, Jia Zhen and Xia Lu heard Mrs. Jia raging in the room. "How did you take care of him? Why did you feed him unclean food? Don't you know that Second Master is going to take the imperial examination?" When Jia Zheng's condition was slightly better, Mrs. Jia, who had not slept the entire night because of taking care of Jia Zhen, was still full of energy and fighting spirit. She reprimanded everyone in the Sakura Temple.
"Also, my eldest daughter-in-law, how did you manage the household? How could such a big thing happen? My son can't take the imperial examination because of you!" Mrs. Jia pointed the arrow at Mrs. Jia Feng.
Mrs. Jia Feng only felt wronged. There were so many people in the kitchen. Who knew who Jia Zheng had offended and caused him to be unable to take the imperial examination? Besides, Jia Zheng's standard was only so-so. It made no difference whether he could take the imperial examination or not. Anyway, he could not take the imperial examination. Mrs. Jia Feng narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. Why didn't she think of this? What if someone felt that he could not take the imperial examination and deliberately did not take the imperial examination to save face? After all, her mother-in-law had declared in such a high-profile manner that Jia Zheng would definitely take the imperial examination. In this way, unless Jia Zheng could really take the imperial examination, he would be greatly embarrassed.
Just as Mrs. Jia Feng was about to refute, Jia Zhen and Xia Lu came in. "Old Madam, why are you so angry? The imperial examination is not limited to one year. You can take the imperial examination next year. Anyway, Uncle Zheng is really talented. It doesn't matter if he is delayed for a year. I will also take the imperial examination next year. Let's keep each other company." Jia Zhen came in with a smile.
"You are really good at talking. My son is really unlucky. Now we have to wait for another year." Mrs. Jia said with hatred.
"Uncle She, Uncle She, Aunt She, Uncle Zheng, Aunt She, these are the medicinal herbs I brought for Uncle Zheng. If Rongguo Province lacks anything, just go to Ningguo Province and tell us," Jia Zhen said.
"You are so sensible. Second Daughter-in-law, put these things away," Mrs. Jia said.
"Yes, thank you, Zheng 'er." Jia Zhen and Wang Clan members winked at the maidservants behind them and took away the things that Jia Zhen and Xia Lu had brought.
"You accompany the old lady and the others to chat. I'll go inside to check on Uncle Zheng." Like Madam Jia and Madam Feng, Jia Zhen also did not believe that Jia Zheng would suddenly fall ill, so she wanted to personally confirm it.
"Okay." Xia Lu nodded obediently.
Mrs. Jia looked at Xia Lu and sneered in her heart. Zheng 'er's daughter-in-law was really smart. She did not see it before, but now she could see it. She controlled Zheng' er so tightly that he did not even have a concubine by his side. She was simply a vixen.
"Zheng 'er's daughter-in-law, I heard that you have guests in your mansion. Why didn't you bring them to Xi Province to walk around?" Mrs. Jia asked.
