Nongmen Shenjue

The brothers of the Jin family expressed their enthusiasm and closeness to Mu Qingyan and Chen Shiliu, and they exchanged voices to inquire about their family backgrounds.Regarding these, Mu Qingyan retreated behind the scenes and left everything to Chen Shiliu to deal with.

In his disguised identity, Chen Shiliu was the elder brother. Besides, Chen Shiliu came from a wealthy family, so it was easy to deal with this matter.The most important thing is that he was very excited and devoted to it. It was an exciting feeling that he knew it was acting but no one noticed it.

Mu Qingyan felt that he was a little too complacent.

I didn't stay with Mrs. Jin for too long, after coming out, Mu Qingyan said: "I heard that brother Jin is not in good health, we should go visit."

The expressions of the Jin family brothers changed.

Jin Lihang said: "Let the fifth brother take you there, I still have something to do here. Big brother can't bear to be disturbed now, if we have people going over, it will cause him a headache."

Jin Li'an also said: "That's right, my elder brother moved to Zhufeng Xiaozhu in the east to recuperate from his illness. The master and wife also said that there is no need to visit him every day, as long as he is satisfied. Besides, elder brother has been ill for a long time, so he will inevitably have a bad temper." Well, if you say something inappropriate for a while, think about it because he is a patient, and don't bother with him."

"Brother used to be the most gentle-tempered." Jin Lilin also confirmed the third brother's words from the side.

The three brothers made arrangements tacitly, and bid farewell to Mu Qingyan, leaving only Jin Lilin behind.

To be honest, facing Jin Lilin, Mu Qingyan was always uncomfortable.

The person in front of me is a little different from the person the night before yesterday.

Jin Lilin's appearance is very delicate, but not feminine. He is a little thin, tall, and easy-going in speech. He seems to be a pleasing person without any aggressiveness.Judging from how the brothers of the Jin family got along just now, the second and third child managed to maintain a peaceful face, but the fifth child had a good relationship with his elder brothers, neither so close nor so alienated.

"Let's go, it's cooler at this time. After taking the medicine, my eldest brother usually sits in the bamboo forest for a while. Usually he is in a good mood at this time." Jin Lilin led the way and told some things about Jin Liye.

The Zhufeng Xiaozhu was originally a part of the Jin family's large garden. Later, in order to recuperate Jin Liye, Jin Cheng ordered people to circle this corner to make a small courtyard, and then rearranged it to move Jin Liye into it.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Jin Cheng attaches great importance to and loves his eldest son.

If Jin Liye hadn't fallen ill, with this emphasis, as long as he wasn't too stupid, he would be sure to take over the Jin family.Perhaps it was because of this that some people resorted to dirty tricks unwillingly. As a result, the brothers of the Jin family were the most suspicious.Of course, Mrs. Jin and even the young mistresses are also big suspects.

The courtyard door of Zhufeng Xiaozhu was open, two young maidservants sat under the pillars and whispered, and hurriedly got up when they saw someone coming.

"Five masters."

"How is eldest brother today? These two are guests at home, sons of old friends of the master. I just finished seeing my wife, and I'm here to visit elder brother now." Jin Lilin said.

"Uncle has just taken the medicine, and is on the edge of the bamboo forest and rockery, accompanied by Miss Feng."

Feng girl?

Mu Qingyan had just met the girls of the Jin family, and there was no such "Feng girl" among them.Furthermore, the more rules there are in the family, the more taboos there are in getting along with brothers and sisters, even the younger sisters are afraid that they will rarely be able to accompany the eldest brother like this.

Maybe it's the aunt who didn't become a regular?A girl without a title?

Everyone will come up with all kinds of tricks.

Jin Lilin didn't mean to explain, and led a group of people through the cobblestone path. There were dense bamboo forests on both sides, rustling in the breeze, and there was a pond with dense shade. It was a good place to escape the heat.That Jin Liye is a man of bitter summer, and living in such a place would indeed be very comfortable.

There are several houses in the courtyard, with small doors leading to the back door.

In addition to the bamboo forest, there are also flowers in the back. A bamboo recliner is placed under the shade of the bamboo, and a pale, thin young man with only a handful of bones is lying there, with a cloak around his waist.There is a small pear table next to it, with all kinds of tea and fruits. Sitting on the small table is a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. She is wearing a pomegranate red dress. It's full of vitality.

This is probably the Feng girl that the maid said.

Jin Liye didn't sleep, he just opened his eyes to see the bamboo leaves shaking and falling.

Holding an embroidery frame in her hand, Miss Feng was embroidering a piece of ropa. When she got close, she heard her crisp voice: "...we villagers spend summer, and the best way to avoid the heat is to go into the water. Linshui, both men and women, can drink water. It’s hot and uncomfortable in summer. If you swim in the water, the sweltering heat of the day will be gone, and you can eat iced fruit or drink a bowl of cool mung bean water. How beautiful."

"Can girls go into the water too?" Jin Liye spoke very slowly and lightly.

A smile appeared on Miss Feng's face, as if she was very happy to get his response: "Yes, on a certain day, girls no matter how old they are can go into the water, no one will make irresponsible remarks, and there will be guards, so it's safe. "

"Shangsi Festival?" Jin Liye immediately thought of it.

"Uncle's reaction is really fast, it's the Shangsi Festival."

The Shangsi Festival is also a spring bathing day. On March [-]rd, the activity of "removing quarrels and bathing" has been held since ancient times.To put it bluntly, it is to bathe by the stream to remove the dirt on the body, and it slowly becomes a festival.It’s just that dynasties have changed, and there are more and more constraints on women. The folks are fine. There are many women on the Shangsi Festival, and some places have their own unique ways of celebrating.

A servant girl came to report: "Master, the fifth master is here, bringing two guests."

Jin Liye frowned subconsciously: "What guest?"

"It is said that he is a child of an old friend's family. The master saw it in person last night, and he went to see his wife just now." The servant girl explained softly.

Jin Liye turned his head and saw Mu Qingyan and Chen Shiliu, but he was puzzled: "I don't know any old friends."

"It's from the Zhang family in the capital." The servant girl knew very little.

Jin Liye thought about it, but when he didn't think about it, he became a little impatient and simply didn't think about it.

"What are you doing seeing me? Come back after I die. It's too early to express condolences." Jin Liye said this quickly, followed by a violent cough.

Miss Feng hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and helped him up, lest he would be choked.

Jin Liye was a 33-year-old man, and Miss Feng was under fifteen, but Miss Feng didn't have any difficulty supporting him, which showed how thin he was.

As soon as he coughed, Jin Lilin stopped, followed by Mu Qingyan and Chen Shiliu.

Mu Qingyan noticed that the handkerchief in Miss Feng's hand, the flawless white silk handkerchief, was gradually stained with blood as Jin Liye coughed, as if big red plum blossoms were blooming.

Finally the coughing stopped, Jin Liye closed his eyes, let alone rinsing his mouth with tea, his breathing was extremely weak.

Miss Feng was frightened, her hands were trembling badly, tears had already accumulated in her eyes, she hurriedly wiped them again with a clean veil, she did not dare to let out a whimper.

Jin Lilin shook his head at Mu Qingyan and the two, and led them out of Zhufeng Xiaozhu.

"Brother is not in the mood to see you, sorry."

"We are taking the liberty. I didn't expect him to be so seriously ill." Mu Qingyan unconsciously recalled the scene he saw in Mu Qingyan's mind. Jin Liye and Miss Feng seemed to have a sense of disobedience.

"I'm fine, why don't I walk around the city with you?" Jin Lilin suggested.

Chen Shiliu suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that all of you brothers have received errands? Why..."

Jin Lilin smiled and said: "Yes, except for the third brother who stayed in the main bank building, my second brother and fourth brother and I went to other branch buildings. This time when I came back, it was the master's birthday."

"Oh? Uncle Jin's birthday is coming? Forgive me, we didn't know about it before, but luckily Brother Jin Wu told you, otherwise we would have been rude." Chen Shiliu answered the words very naturally.

Jin Lilin really couldn't see any clues from his face, his words and deeds were very in line with the style of a young master, and he knew the affairs of the capital very well.only……

Jin Lilin did a good job of being a landlord and took the two of them around the city.

"Do you two like to listen to opera? There are several good opera troupes in the city."

Mu Qingyan was not interested, he always showed indifference, so he simply said: "I'm not interested in listening to the opera, and it's too hot, you guys go."

Chen Shiliu was taken aback: "Aren't you going?"

"You like to listen to operas, so go with Brother Jin Wu." Mu Qingyan waved his hand and went straight back to the guest room.

Chen Shiliu shrugged, smiled helplessly at Jin Lilin and said, "My brother is just like that. You said just now that the opera troupe is singing?"

Jin Lilin's thoughts were interrupted, so he could only deal with the one in front of him first.

Mu Qingyan seemed to be taking a break, but he was actually sorting out the Jin family's situation.

Jin Liye's onset occurred after the beginning of summer. However, considering the chronic poisoning, it is very likely that he had already ingested the poison before the beginning of the summer.The poison of arsenic, if used for poisoning, is mostly taken by mouth, but other contact methods cannot be ruled out.For example, if something is stained with arsenic, it will be poisoned by skin contact, or it will be vaporized, and it will be inhaled by the human body, forming long-term chronic poisoning.

Today's Zhufeng Xiaozhu is a place for recuperating from illness. In the beginning, Jin Liye had another yard.

Jin Liye has already married a wife, not only has sons and daughters, but also has a lot of concubines and maids. The courtyard that used to be now is full of female relatives, controlled by the elder and younger wives.

He is an outsider, so he is absolutely not allowed in.

Through the courtyard wall, he can still go back, but he must figure out Jin Liye's diet, otherwise, after a long time, who knows how Jin Liye got the poison?He had to get in touch with people close to him, and for this, he had to ask Uncle Li for help.
