On the other hand, Qin Jian didn't think there was anything wrong with coming out; in fact, he was overjoyed.
I was just thinking of finding an opportunity to visit my brother and sister-in-law, and now the opportunity has come.
It was evening, and the Lu family had probably finished dinner, but he had important things to do today, so he wouldn't bother with that meal.
He brazenly shouted at the entrance of Xishuiyuan, and when someone came to check the door, he forced his way in.
Xu Dashan and the others had been instructed to simply play along with Qin Jian when he arrived, so they passed this test easily.
Seeing this, the people who came with Qingyin Garden did not have much doubt and went back to report.
He Jiuniang was tutoring a group of children. Actually, she didn't need to tutor them much; they just asked her questions occasionally when they didn't understand something. She herself was mainly drawing design sketches. Soon, the princess would send someone to pick up this month's new products, so she had to take good care of this important customer.
Making clothes for the princess served two purposes: firstly, it enhanced her reputation, making Jiayuan Pavilion the exclusive wardrobe for noble ladies; secondly, the rewards were substantial.
Anyway, it's easy for her to do these things; she can finish them quickly in her spare time, and it's not troublesome at all.
Lu Baichuan was handling the official business he brought back from the Huoyun Division. He needed to finish it in advance so he could arrange to return to the county town.
Qin Jian arrived grumbling and cursing, then lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, I need your help. Can we talk somewhere?"
He Jiuniang stood up and said, "Then let's go to the room next door to talk."
"good!"
Qin Jian glanced at Lu Baichuan and said, "You come too, I also have something to say to you."
Lu Baichuan followed him inside, and then Qin Jian briefly recounted what he had seen in Qingyin Garden.
These things, taken individually, are actually harmless. After all, actors are ruthless, and there's nothing wrong with training them this way.
However, if we look at it all together, this approach could very well be a case of communication between the people at Danzhulou and this side. So, those who ran away from Danzhulou back then might have escaped to Qingyin Garden wearing masks.
If that's the case, then if we keep a close eye on them this time, we can catch them all in one fell swoop.
Lu Baichuan nodded and asked, "There are so many of them. I'll send a few people to protect you secretly. Otherwise, if something happens to you, we won't know, and it will be too late to get there."
Qin Jian waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. I've done a good job of pretending and haven't given anything away. Besides, the yamen is already short-staffed, so who would send me? Don't waste people's time; I can handle it all by myself! When I make a contribution, I'll definitely go to His Highness to ask for a reward!"
He said this as if he was worried about others stealing his credit, but Lu Baichuan knew that he was just worried about wasting resources.
Lu Baichuan didn't speak, but He Jiuniang asked, "Then what do you want to tell me? Hurry up and say it, or the people over there will start to suspect you again."
"Oh right, let's get down to business!"
Qin Jian snapped out of his daze and said, "It's like this, isn't the theater quite chaotic? I'm always worried that Xinran might have some disease that I could catch, so I came to ask you for something as a precaution. My life is very precious!"
Upon hearing this, He Jiuniang almost laughed, but it was a good thing that Qin Jian had such a sense of vigilance, so she still said, "There really is one. You wait here, I'll go get it for you!"
As he spoke, he turned and walked out. He returned a short while later with a pill in his hand. Qin Jian took the pill and swallowed it, feeling much more at ease.
However, this is not a magic pill, just a drug to improve immune function, so He Jiuniang still said: "Taking this medicine cannot completely prevent it. You still need to be careful not to have relations with her, and you must not let your wounds come into contact with her blood. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong."
Most of those diseases are transmitted through sexual contact. Generally, as long as sexual contact and blood infection do not occur, it is very difficult to transmit them.
Qin Jian could have protected himself with just one pill, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome, and he became worried again.
"As long as you listen to me, nothing will happen, don't worry!"
Seeing that his body was stiff, He Jiuniang took the initiative to comfort him.
In front of He Jiuniang, Qin Jian couldn't appear too pretentious, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
"By the way, Xinran has been faking illness lately. How can I get her to get better quickly? I'm doing all this hard work for her every day, it's such a sin!"
As Qin Jian spoke, he scratched his head in exasperation, wondering how he could be so unlucky to have encountered such a pretentious woman.
"Yes, I'll go get it for you."
He Jiuniang went out again, and when she came back, she had a small bottle in her hand with the words "Half-Step Madness with a Smile" written on it.
Qin Jian: ...
Lu Baichuan: ...
Is this definitely something that can cure diseases, and not some kind of poison?
What are the effects of this medicine?
Qin Jian examined the small bottle closely, filled with curiosity.
"It's just a medicine for treating stubborn diseases. I was too lazy to come up with a name, so I just wrote one down. Give Xinran five pills, and I guarantee he'll be cured."
He Jiuniang waved her hand, her eyes smiling, which made people feel that this was not a good thing.
But Qin Jian still accepted it. He decided to tear off the name on the outside in a little while so that he could trick Xinran into eating it.
Qin Jian left, just as he had come, cursing and swearing. He didn't know if the people from Qingyin Garden were still there, so he had to keep up appearances and not give anyone any leverage.
Lu Baichuan asked, "Wife, what exactly is that medicine for?"
"The medicine is as its name suggests: Hanxiao, Banbu, and Dian."
He Jiuniang raised an eyebrow and laughed unrestrainedly.
Lu Baichuan became increasingly curious, wishing he could follow Qin Jian to see what it was like to take that kind of medicine.
Meanwhile, Qin Jian quickly returned to Qingyin Garden and presented the pills with the names torn off to Xinran.
"Xinran, this is the medicine I got from that poisonous woman. Take it and it will definitely cure your illness!"
Qin Jian's sincere expression made it hard to refuse, but Xinran was actually faking illness and dared not take any medicine without permission, leaving her in a dilemma.
"Xinran, are you worried that there's something wrong with this medicine? There's definitely nothing wrong with it! That poisonous woman has a grudge against me, but she would never harm anyone indiscriminately. Just take it without worry, and I'll ask her for more if I need more!"
"Second Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Xinran spoke softly, trying to refuse the medicine, but Qin Jian brought her a bowl of honey water so that she could have something sweet to drink after taking the medicine.
"Eat up, I'll stay here with you."
Qin Jian was gentle and took good care of the person.
Xinran suddenly couldn't bear to refuse him. She thought that these were just pills for treating a cold, and taking a few wouldn't hurt. So she ate all the pills Qin Jian brought her, then drank some honey water and felt a sweet taste in her mouth.
