When Qiu Wuhen saw his wife and Liniang entering his study, he first said, "I have a distant cousin who brought her daughter to join me. I just got the news."

After Su Jinsong heard this, he was stunned for a moment and glanced at Liniang who was standing beside him. Liniang seemed to understand what her master was thinking and said: "Sir, you mean that your two relatives are going to live in our house permanently.

?"

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said: "At least now they have no way to go. I can't bear the orphans and widowers either."

Liniang wanted to speak, but she heard Su Jinsong say: "Really? I've never heard of your parents' side of the family! I finally met them today. You didn't say anything when I asked you before, and you didn't want to mention them.

, why did you come to your door today?"

Qiu Wuhen felt a little guilty. Was he lying? He coughed dryly and said, "I don't know, maybe I can't survive. Their family is also very miserable. In fact, I really don't want to care about these things, but since they are relatives, I don't care."

Okay, come and see with me."

Qiu Wuhen knew that Su Jinsong was a kind-hearted person, and the more he said this, the more she paid attention to it. As expected, Su Jinsong became even more concerned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Then let's go and take a look."

The couple came to the front parlor and saw Qiu Wuhen and Su Jinsong. Mrs. Gan and Jin Xiyan seemed to have finished their meal, and the food on the table had been removed by the servants.

When Lady Gan and Jin Xiyan saw Qiu Wuhen coming with a beautiful woman of about twenty years old, they quickly stood up and knelt down.

Su Jinsong winked at Liniang, who quickly stepped forward to help Mrs. Gan up. Su Jinsong said, "Cousin, don't be polite. This is Xiyan. Good looks are a sign."

Qiu Wuhen did not come forward, but went to sit on a chair aside and watched them talk.

Ms. Gan was originally uneasy. Her husband suddenly sent her a letter, telling her that he was going to the South to do a big business and would not be able to come back until the year of the monkey. He asked them to go to his distant cousin.

, is also a new imperial physician at the imperial hospital. He has a big house in the capital. He allows her to stay at her cousin's house with peace of mind and tells her everything in the future.

After all, this woman had also read a book, and she vaguely guessed that something might have happened to her husband, or that he had abandoned her and entrusted herself to others. She suddenly became frightened, not knowing what her future and destiny would be like. She felt uneasy in her heart.

Hearing Qiu Wuhen say this, a stone suddenly fell to the ground in his heart. Qiu Wuhen's attitude towards her was not enthusiastic, but it was not cold either. At least it made her feel at ease, which was enough. His identity was still

What more could you ask for? In gratitude, he quickly pulled his daughter and knelt down to kowtow.

Su Jinsong said: "My husband has already said that we are all one family, and there is no need to talk about two families. Even though they are distant relatives, they are still relatives who come to visit. Then we become a family. Stay here with peace of mind. From now on, this will be

Your home."

Mrs. Gan was so grateful that her eyes were red. She said, "Thank you, young master. Thank you, young lady."

Qiu Wuhen frowned, waved his hand and said: "I am your husband's cousin, you can just call me cousin. What do you mean by young master and young mistress? Do some family members still call me outsiders?"

Mrs. Gan was filled with gratitude, nodded in agreement, weakly called her cousin, and asked her daughter to call Qiu Wuhen her cousin.

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said to Su Jinsong: "You arrange a yard for them two and assign two maids and servants to serve them."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gan quickly waved her hands and said in a panic: "No, no, my daughter and I are both capable people. If there is anything we need to do at home, please just give us your orders, madam. You don't have to give us anything."

Maid and servant, we can definitely take care of ourselves."

Jin Xiyan also said quickly: "Please don't worry, cousin, my mother and I are not lazy people who can't do anything. My mother and I are pretty good at embroidery. If my cousin doesn't mind, you can

My mother and I can cover all the clothes for my cousin and the children."

Liniang coughed dryly, walked quickly to Su Jinsong, who was already looking a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Madam, you and your Excellency should go back and rest first. I will take care of the rest."

Mrs. Gan saw that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only agree: "That's right, that's right, you go and have a rest first. You've been tired for a day, so don't worry about us."

Su Jinsong was indeed a little embarrassed. He glanced at Qiu Wuhen. Qiu Wuhen understood and said, "Then let Liniang take you to your room. If you need anything, just tell Liniang."

After saying that, he took Su Jinsong and left.

After they left, Liniang walked up to them and whispered: "My wife is still young now. In the past, I was always away from home in Beijing. I spent less time with my wife and separated more, so I don't have any children yet, so don't stay here in the future."

Let’s talk about the child in front of Madam.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Gan and Jin Xiyan understood, but immediately felt embarrassed. Just as they were about to speak, they heard Liniang say: "As for the matter of giving you a maid, I thought I would give you a reply after discussing it with my wife tomorrow.

I don’t mean anything else, I just want you to be embarrassed.”

Mrs. Gan nodded repeatedly and said: "It's really not necessary. My daughter and I work by ourselves at home to support ourselves. We are both hard-working. If you need anything from us, please don't be polite. Cousin and Madam

Although they all have good intentions, I also know that there are more than just these two masters in this family."

Liniang glanced at Mrs. Gan appreciatively and said: "Okay, let's talk about it if we understand. There are many things we can do at home. Our wife is different from those noble ladies in Beijing. Our wife likes to raise chickens."

Can you grow ducks and vegetables and flowers?"

When Mrs. Gan heard this, she couldn't help but be curious, a little surprised and excited. "Why, can we grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks at home?"

"Yes, there is a large vegetable patch in the backyard. You can grow vegetables even in winter! There are countless chickens, ducks, fish and pigs, and they are all busy. We are short of manpower."

Mr. Gan said happily: "That's great. My family used to be a vegetable farmer. I have been growing vegetables since I was a child. Later, I joined the master. Although I didn't grow vegetables much, my skills have not fallen behind. I think I can help."

After hearing this, Liniang knew that this Gan family was not just talking about it, but he seemed to be really useful and capable, so she said: "That's great, our family really lacks a farmer. Everyone is talking about it.

I don’t even know how to cook it, and the dishes I make always feel like they’re not the same. It would be great to have an expert like you to help me.”

"I will work hard to do things well in the future so that my cousin and my wife can rest assured."

Early the next morning, Liniang went to the room to serve as usual. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Qiu Wuhen wearing a coat and going out. Liniang hurried forward.

"Sir, it's such a cold day. You're wearing such thin clothes, so be careful of catching a cold."

Qiu Wuhen pointed a finger at the room, then shushed, indicating that Liniang and she walked to the corner to talk.

Qiu Wuhen told her everything that Imperial Physician Jin entrusted to her, and then said: "I didn't let Madam know about this matter because I was afraid that she would be worried. She has always been a sensitive and thoughtful person. I was afraid that if I told her,

She won't really be kind to Mr. Gan and that little girl. After all, Imperial Physician Jin is now a criminal."

Liniang was stunned and said: "Then why did you tell this slave?"

After all, Qiu Wuhen wore less clothes, rubbed his hands, and whispered: "I know that you and your husband are both brave and careful, and can be used in many ways, unlike my wife. I tell you so that you can know what to do if anything happens.

If there is anything that can happen, we can prepare it in advance.”

Liniang didn't expect that in Qiu Wuhen's heart, she and Zhang Qi had become the confidants of their couple. She couldn't help but be moved and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will let my wife find someone to watch them. As for the girl, what are you going to do?"

Arrangement? Today the madam, aunt and two girls at home all know about it. The old lady and madam are fine, but the aunt and the third girl, I'm afraid..."

Qiu Wuhen said: "Take it one step at a time. Now that I have agreed to Doctor Jin, I can only take good care of them. If they are peaceful, I will naturally find a way to find a family for that girl to marry. After all, she is better than Jin Mei."

He’s still one year older, so if you’re restless, you can just find a reason to get rid of him when the time comes.”

However, Liniang's face darkened and she whispered: "I'm afraid it will be easier to invite the gods than to send them away."

Qiu Wuhen knew that Liniang had always been a far-sighted person, so he comforted her: "Thank you for your hard work, but I think Mrs. Gan and her daughter are doing their duty."

Liniang said no more, they just left it to the servants to handle whatever the master decided.

What she didn't expect was that Mrs. Gan was indeed an expert at growing vegetables, but she was really surprised by the Su family's vegetable greenhouse. It was as warm as spring when she entered it. In this cold winter, it could actually feel like spring, or even summer.

temperature. I was surprised and didn’t understand why it was like this. But when I saw the vegetables grown by the Su family, I couldn’t help but cover my lips and smile. Because they were really bad at growing vegetables.

Mrs. Gan said that according to her method, the output can be at least doubled and the quality can be at least improved to a higher level. This made the Su family very happy. Finally, an expert came to

Daughter Jin Xiyan is also used to living an ordinary life. She can do sewing, mending, cleaning tables and sweeping the floor by herself. She is definitely not a spoiled child. Compared with the two younger sisters of the Su family, they all lived in good times before.

She was much more squeamish. As a result, Jin Xiyan also gained approval from the old lady and the others, and got along very well with the sisters. This made Qiu Wuhen feel relieved. After all, she had been entrusted to her and she had to do a good job.

But there is no news about the case of Imperial Physician Jin. Moreover, during the New Year Festival, it is customary for the emperor or the palace to entertain powerful ministers and their families with a banquet to spend the festival. The powerful ministers are at least senior officials of the fourth rank or above, such as Qiu Wuhen, a fifth-rank official.

I can't even get involved. But Qiu Wuhen wants to participate, because he is the imperial doctor, and he has to wait in the palace in case the emperor, concubines, and other dignitaries get too happy, drink down, and get sick.

Yes, injured.
