Chapter 527 Palace Concubine?(1/2)
Shenjing Nancheng, Puyi Street.
Huaizhenfang, Qin family.
A simple and unpretentious set of servants entered the house, also hung in white.
The Qin family can be regarded as an old-school official family in the capital, but the official position their ancestors held was not very high, with the highest being only the fifth rank.
My family is not rich, but I can live a modest life.
Qin Ye, the head of the Qin family, is a maintenance man in the Ministry of Industry, a junior official of the seventh rank. Although he is in the Ministry of Industry, he does not have much luck.
It's interesting to say that Qin Ye was famous in the Ministry of Industry for his poor official career.
It stands to reason that he is conscientious and careful in his work as an official and as a person. Even if he grinds his way up slowly over the years, he should reach the fifth rank.
Occasionally, whenever he went to the capital for inspection, Qin Ye would always delay the inspection because of some trivial mistakes. He only received a mediocre review and stayed at the seventh rank position.
He didn't care, and because of the convenience of work, he got acquainted with Jia Zheng.
Both of them admire Qingliu and like to read, so they occasionally interact with each other.
Because of this, the Jia family accidentally learned that Qin Ye had adopted a girl who was stunningly beautiful.
Ning Mansion, so he got married...
These are all obtained by Jia Qiang from the memory of her original body.
Thinking back to the claims of some Red School sects in his previous life, it always made him feel that there was no basis for it.
Although Jia Qiang did not agree with all the theories of Liu Xinwu and even Zhou Ruchang in her previous life, and some of them still disagreed, Qin Keqing's life experience was described in Cao Gong's brushwork of gray snake lines and thousands of miles of threads, describing Keqing's boudoir, and the coffin at the funeral.
If the description is just a blank description, it may be difficult to convince the public.
Furthermore, many of the abandoned babies in the health care center were sent to the health care center by women from brothels who had dark knots and were unable to raise them after they were born.
If Keqing is just an ordinary abandoned baby from a health care center, even if she has the allure of beauty, there is absolutely no chance that she will become the concubine and mistress of a Duke's mansion, and the future mother of a Jia clan with two male parents.
It doesn't make sense...
Aren't the Jia family afraid of marrying the daughter of a brothel prostitute?
The ancients were far more concerned about the nobleness of the family's bloodline than those in previous generations.
Of course, this is all still just speculation.
Because if Keqing is the daughter of Prince Yi Zhong, there is no need to hide her in the Jia family.
Even Prince Yi Zhong's own son is living very comfortably now. He has been granted the title of prince, and he will definitely become a prince in the future.
How could there be no room for an orphan girl?
It makes no sense...
While thinking, the old servant of the Qin family opened the door and welcomed Jia Qiang and his party inside.
After entering the main room, he saw Qin Ye who was unconscious in front of the hospital bed.
The doctor came forward to diagnose and treat the patient for a while. Not long after, he stood up, shook his head, and said, "There is no cure anymore."
Jia Qiang asked: "Maybe you can wake up for a while?"
The old doctor who used acupuncture to revive Jia Rong for a quarter of an hour at Jia's house shook his head and said: "I'm ashamed, the situation of this old man and Uncle Rong is different. Uncle Rong is ill in physical condition, but this old man is...
The disease is in the heart orifice. It also has..."
I have talked about it for a long time, but in short, there is nothing I can do.
When Jia Qiang heard this, although she was very sorry, she would not force it.
What is Keqing's identity? Is it important?
Actually it's not that important.
Jia Qiang said: "It's destiny, don't force it, just do your best. There is also a young man who has troubled Doctor Xu."
The doctor hurriedly said he didn't dare, and followed Lao Wangtou to Qin Zhongfang.
Jia Qiang said to Mama Wang: "Mommy, you don't have to be here, just go over and have a look. If you need anything, come and let me know."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she didn't suspect anything.
In order to provide medical treatment to the Qin family, the old and the young, all the seas and rivers that the family had crossed long ago were exhausted, and there were no family heirlooms nearby, so there was no need to worry about anything being stolen.
However, Mrs. Wang never expected that as soon as she left the house, Jia Qiang said to Shang Zhuo and Li Jing beside her: "Look around and see if there are any secret compartments or boxes hiding private letters or the like."
Shang Zhuo and Li Jing were confused, but they still followed Jia Qiang's instructions and started groping around based on their experience in the world.
They even didn't spare the bed where the unconscious Qin Ye slept, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
Jia Qiang sighed, but knew in her heart that it was normal to have no harvest.
If there really is something extremely private, no matter how stupid the Jia family and Qin Ye are, they can't leave anything behind...
However, just when Jia Qiang had given up, she suddenly heard Li Jingyun's surprised voice: "Master, come and see here!"
Jia Qiang suddenly looked back and saw Li Jing kneeling at the corner of the wall, lifting up a square brick to reveal a wooden box underneath.
Shang Zhuo also walked over, slapped his forehead and said regretfully: "I just felt that this brick was a little uneven, and it was a little bit protruding. I thought I would check again later."
Li Jing made a sound, carefully lifted out the wooden box, which was about a foot square, and then quickly covered it with floor tiles.
Jia Qiang took the wooden box and narrowed her eyes when she saw a gold lock hanging on it with dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on it.
Li Jing stepped forward and took out an embroidery needle from nowhere. After playing with it for a while, the golden lock opened.
Jia Qiang vaguely remembered that the ancient locks seemed to have different principles from the locks in previous lives...
But now was not the time to pay attention to this. Li Jing asked Jia Qiang to step back. She also turned the opening of the box to the opposite side, and then carefully opened the wooden box.
Fortunately, nothing happened. Shang Zhuo turned to the wooden box and took a look, then nodded to Jia Qiang, and Li Jingfang turned the wooden box again.
The piece of brocade that entered his eyes made Jia Qiang squint her eyes slightly. He took a step forward and picked up the object in the wooden box. It turned out to be... a gold-threaded and white-patterned begonia flower and rain palace brocade skirt.
The embroidery of the palace makeup is very particular.
The highest class, only the queen mother and empress, can wear embroidered clothes with peonies, the king of flowers.
The next ones are crabapple, lotus, hibiscus and lotus.
Only the imperial concubine can wear it.
In other words, this gold and white patterned begonia flower palace brocade dress belongs to the imperial concubine.
"Sir, there is a jade pendant underneath. It looks... like it belongs in the palace."
Li Jing obviously thought of something and handed the jade pendant with two phoenixes and rising sun to Jia Qiang.
After Jia Qiang took it and looked at it, she saw an inscription on the phoenix tail:
Qin!
Jia Qiang: "..."
Just when his heart was shaking, he heard some movement in the courtyard. He took a breath, put the jade pendant in his sleeve pocket, and said to Li Jing: "Put away the palace clothes."
Hearing this, Li Jing hurriedly folded the gold and white patterned Begonia flower rain palace brocade dress, lifted up the front hem, and tied it to her calf.
When the group of people left the main room, they saw Mrs. Wang coming excitedly, crying: "Thank God, my brother is finally saved!"
"Are you awake?"
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Jia Qiang nodded and walked to the east chamber.
When you enter the house, you will see a couch, a table, a chair, and half a wall of bookcases.
On the couch, Qin Zhong was lying there, looking at Jia Qiang eagerly.
Jia Qiang was originally annoyed by such weaklings, but it was not easy to think of her sister. After a pause, she asked calmly: "Have you gained anything from experiencing life and death?"
Qin Zhong already knew that his father was about to die, and he felt extremely remorseful. He cried and said: "I am a useless person. I used to think that my knowledge was higher than that of the world, but today I realized that I was wrong. In the future, I should aspire to achieve fame. It’s all about glory and appearance. If you don’t do it anymore, you won’t even be able to give me money for my father’s soup and medicine.”
Hearing this, Jia Qiang slightly raised her eyebrows and said: "If you really have this understanding, this experience is not in vain. Just take good care of your illness. Now that you have been rescued, you will have time to work hard in the future. As for your father, it is destiny. It cannot be done by human force."
He also told the doctor to take good medicine and not to worry about money. If you need any good medicine, just go to the Duke's Mansion to get it.
After that, take the people away.
…
"Xiao Jing, go check it out. There was an imperial concubine named Qin in the palace of the previous generation. What's the secret..."
After leaving Qin's house, Jia Qiang whispered to Li Jing.
Hearing this, Li Jing hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master, I am not willing to pay attention. If it is a Jianghu matter, I can find out any way I can. But for the palace secrets, I am worried that if I use too much force, it will cause trouble in the CRRC House." The guards are alert. Now we are all walking around them, so as not to cross the river. Once we cross the river..."
When Jia Qiang heard this, she immediately said: "That's all, don't mess with them for now. I'll think of another way to deal with this matter... I'll go back and make the hole in Qin Ye's house more solid."
Li Jing hurriedly said: "This is easy." She paused and then said: "Sir, that old servant and his wife..."
Jia Qiang thought for a while and said: "After a few days, Qin Zhong recovered from his illness and threw him into the personal guards to practice for a while, and then left the clan school to continue practicing. The old couple were taken into the mansion and became the Qin family. Please don’t let them leave the house for a while, and pay attention to whether any suspicious people are approaching.”
After Li Jing heard this, she nodded and gave Jia Qiang an angry look for the first time.
