Chapter 98 Ancestral Secret Recipe
Qiao Yuan also thought of something, and looked at Lu Chengjing with a more eager look, waiting for the answer.
Lu Chengjing asked instead, "But someone in the Qiao family is sick?"
"He's my eldest cousin." Qiao Yu'an's eyebrows were filled with a trace of sadness. "He invited friends to go horse racing in the countryside. He accidentally fell off the horse and broke his right leg with the horse's hoof. If he can't be cured, he may become a lame in the future. "
Qiao Yu'an's eldest cousin had a cheerful personality and made many friends. Lu Chengjing was led by Qiao Yu'an to have dinner with this eldest cousin several times and had a good impression of him.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chengjing said: "My injuries have been treated by Dr. Yuan in the village. In addition to drinking decoction, I also take medicine for injuries."
Based on Qiao Yuan's understanding of her friends, she could naturally tell that the focus was on medicine for injuries.
The doctor in the village is also known as the barefoot doctor.
This is not to say that barefoot doctors are not good at medical skills, but doctors with superb medical skills can spread a good reputation even if they are hidden in the mountains and forests.
Yushu Village is far or near from the county seat. If Dr. Yuan really had outstanding medical skills, there would be no chance that there would be no rumors at all.
He didn't beat around the bush with Lu Chengjing and asked directly: "Where does this medicine come from?"
Lu Chengjing glanced at Shang Wan.
Qiao Yu'an also looked at Shang Wan suspiciously, "Did you buy it?"
Shang Wan: "I did it."
"Oh, you do..." Qiao Yu'an paused, eyes widening, "Are you a doctor?!"
No wonder he was surprised, Shang Wan didn't look like a doctor at all.
"It's not a doctor." Shang Wan began to lie, "My family's secret recipe is passed down from generation to generation. It is passed down from female to male. It is quite effective in treating bruises and injuries."
Qiao Yu'an didn't believe Shang Wan, so he asked his friend for confirmation, "Chengjing, is this really Shang... uh, the secret recipe handed down from his younger brother and sister?"
Shang Wan secretly raised his eyebrows, he changed his tune very quickly.
Lu Chengjing nodded, "I only found out about this when my wife took it out to treat my injury."
"So that's it." Qiao Yu'an touched her nose, regretting her previous bad attitude towards Shang Wan.
Just as he was thinking about how to buy ointment from Shang Wan, Xiaohuan hung up his clothes and came over with a bamboo basket, "Sister, we are about to start cooking. When should we go into the mountains?"
"Right now." Shang Wan made some snacks and fed them to Xiaohuan, then said to Lu Chengjing and the others, "You guys talk, Xiaohuan and I will go into the mountains."
Xiaohuan knows a lot of wild vegetables and can also distinguish poisonous mushrooms from edible mushrooms. Shang Wan happened to take Xiao Huan into the mountains to get some food and entertain the guests with mountain delicacies.
Qiao Yuan watched helplessly as Shang Wan left, her eyebrows drooping in frustration.
When A Le heard that Shitou was farming, he immediately abandoned his young master and happily ran to find Shitou to reminisce about the past.
Qiao Yu'an brought a stool and sat down next to the wheelchair, "Let me ask you, do your siblings still have the ancestral ointment in their hands?"
Lu Chengjing: "Yes."
"Sell me a box." It was much easier for Qiao Yu'an to talk to Lu Chengjing, and she said with a smile, "I'll take it back and give it to my eldest cousin to try."
Lu Chengjing shook his head, "No."
"Lu Chengjing!" Qiao Yu'an glared, "If you can't bear to part with a box of ointment, are you no longer brothers?"
Lu Chengjing sighed, "After all, it is my lady's secret recipe passed down from my ancestors, and the ointment is also in my hands. I can't sell it to you without permission."
"You, you, you..." Qiao Yu'an said "you" for a long time without saying anything. She unfolded her folding fan and fanned her so hard that Lu Chengjing couldn't help but sneeze.
Seeing this, he quickly closed the folding fan and stopped fanning.
Lu Chengjing looked at him, "What did you want to tell me at the county government office?"
"Oh, it's my younger brother and sister who are famous..." Qiao Yu'an hit her mouth with a folding fan, why didn't she have a doorkeeper?
Seeing Lu Chengjing still staring at him, he hesitated for a moment, looked around, and lowered his voice: "I once accidentally bumped into my younger brother and sister playing with a strange man in the alley, and... they even hugged each other."
Lu Chengjing's face darkened. "I hesitated for a long time whether to tell you or not." Qiao Yu'an observed her friend's expression and said with relief, "There may be some misunderstanding. You can find an opportunity to ask your siblings."
After all, there was no rape in bed, what if he had made a mistake?
“No need to ask,” Lu Chengjing said, “I know about this.”
"Pfft--" Qiao Yu'an spit out a mouthful of medicinal tea, choking him and coughing.
"Ahem, you...cough, cough, when did you know?"
Lu Chengjing said: "Before you."
Qiao Yu'an was silent, peeking at the top of her friend's head, and felt like she saw a bright green light.
Lu Chengjing could tell what Qiao Yu'an was thinking at just one glance, and said slowly: "This matter is complicated, not what you think. My wife is very good, I would like to respect her and trust her, and you should not think blindly in the future."
Qiao Yu'an once again suspected that Shang Wan had given Lu Chengjing the ecstasy soup. His friend clearly didn't do this before!
He said: "This is a family matter, you just have to be aware of it."
Lu Chengding nodded and asked about the last time he asked Qiao Yu'an at the county government office.
"I have been sending people to keep an eye on the Ge family."
Qiao Yu'an took a sip of the medicinal tea. It had a refreshing mint scent and was quite refreshing. She couldn't help but take two more sips.
Lu Chengjing didn't press him, and looked through the books Qiao Yu'an brought, all of which he didn't have at the moment.
Qiao Yu'an put down the tea bowl and said, "As you expected, something did happen to someone in the Ge family."
"who?"
"Ge Shunliang's wife."
Lu Chengjing frowned, "How is his wife?"
Qiao Yuan uttered two words, "Death for love."
Lu Chengjing: "..."
"Isn't it surprising?" Qiao Yu'an sighed, "This lady is also a lover. I heard that after taking Ge Shunliang's body back, she started not eating or drinking, and hanged herself in the house in the middle of the night. When the maid found out By that time, people were already hardened.”
Lu Chengjing asked, "How are the other people in the house?"
"Of course they were buried together." Qiao Yu'an said, "The old housekeeper was a loyal man and protected the young masters in the mansion. Perhaps he was afraid that the young masters would be sad in the mansion, so he sent them to another courtyard outside the city. "There are more than one guard, just like looking after a treasure."
Lu Chengjing sneered in his heart, isn't it just a treasure?
Qiao Yuan asked curiously: "Isn't the matter about Ge Shunliang already over? Why do you want me to keep an eye on the Ge family?"
"The matter of Ge Shunliang is confirmed."
Qiao Yu'an was waiting to hear what was going on, but Lu Chengjing seemed to be thinking about something and suddenly stopped talking, which made him scratch his head and liver with worry.
Fortunately, Lu Chengjing didn't think for long and continued: "This matter has something to do with the Lu family."
"Aren't you going back to the Lu family?" Qiao Yu'an knocked on the tea bowl, "Why do you still care about the Lu family's stall?"
"It's not that I care." Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes and stared at the table, "I just have doubts about some things and want to find out."
"Again," Qiao Yu'an knew without thinking that his friend was not going to tell him everything, but he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
Who doesn’t have a few things in their family that cannot be discussed with outsiders?
He asked: "Do you want to continue to keep an eye on the Ge family's movements?"
Lu Chengding nodded, "Thank you."
"It's just a matter of a few words, and I don't need to keep an eye on it myself." Qiao Yu'an rolled her eyes and smiled, "I really want to thank you for helping me clear the account, and by the way, help me put in a good word in front of my brothers and sisters. sentence."
