More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Ji Min continued to paint in Dali Temple, and Shaoyao was busy making burritos for the official officials of Dali Temple. It was peaceful for a while.
Things are not going very smoothly for Li Mi and Ji Jun.
They visited the medical clinics visited by several missing persons again. Although the portraits re-drawn by Ji Min were more realistic, they could not provide any more clues because it had been a long time since they went to the medical clinic.
Some medical clinics are okay. They keep records of those who have sought medical treatment in recent years, which is somewhat similar to a modern outpatient registration book, including name, age, why you seek medical treatment, what disease you diagnosed, the prescriptions issued by the doctor, and whether you bought medicine here. ,etc.
Some medical clinics cannot recall such a person at all.
There are three records. These three people sought medical treatment for "many days of diarrhea," "palpitation," and "insomnia and dreams." The doctor also diagnosed each patient's pulse and prescribed medicine.
However, none of the three people picked up their medicines at the medical clinic where they were treated. I think it may be because the prices of medicines in medical clinics are relatively expensive. This is a common occurrence for medical clinics.
In Beijing, famous medical clinics are equipped with pharmacies, but the prices are relatively expensive, and such pharmacies often stock some rare medicinal materials. I think the storage and consumption costs are also high.
The doctors in medical clinics are also relatively well-known, and the consultation fees are also relatively high. A rising tide lifts all boats, and the price of medicines is generally higher than that of shops specializing in medicinal materials.
Although Ji Jun was not a criminal investigator, he had watched many TV series such as "Sherlock Holmes", "Polo", "Crime Team Six" and "Criminal Investigation Files" in his previous life.
At the beginning, even a beggar could be silenced quickly. After all this time, in this era of very backward investigation methods, is it possible that there are still a few living witnesses or traces that can be seen at a glance?
Then, all that is left to do is analysis and reasoning.
Ahem, actually it’s just a tacky guess!
Ji Jun thought silently in his mind: Diarrhea, palpitation, and dreaminess are all symptoms of "hyperthyroidism"!
Could it be that these people are also suffering from "gall disease"? However, the clinical manifestations of these people have not yet reached the specific level of "hyperthyroidism".
For example, protruding eyes. For example, obvious weight loss...
If so, could it be that they disappeared because they suffered from "gall disease"?
This is strange! Could it be that someone wanted to develop a drug or treatment method for "gall disease" and kidnapped them?
But how to explain Zheng Dong becoming a killer?
Are hyperthyroid patients being trained to be killers?
Ji Jun was shocked by his whimsical idea!
In April in Beijing, it rains more and more, especially this spring.
Because Zhou Huan, Zhou Biao and others were away from Dali Temple for business, Ji Jun and Ji Min also rested in the Hou Mansion for several days.
That day, it was raining heavily outside.
However, guests came to the Marquis Mansion of Huai'an: Mrs. Xuxian Lu, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, Fu Zheng, came to visit with his son Fu Qunyan and daughter Fu Wei.
Speaking of which, the Fu family and Chen Guogong's mansion can be said to be relatives. Chen Guogong's favorite Aunt Yan and Mrs. Lu are two aunts and cousins.
Yang's daughter is about to marry into Chen Guogong's family.
Even though they can't be hit with eight poles, they are still relatives!
Ji Jun smiles on his face, but suffers in his heart!
Yang likes to be lively when she is in a good mood, and now that she is a relative from Chen Guogong's mansion, even for the atmosphere, she hopes there will be more people.
Although there are distinctions between wives and concubines, there is no need to be particularly polite when walking among relatives.
I think it's similar to "A Dream of Red Mansions" where Xiangling can join the poetry club and ask Daiyu and others for advice on writing poems. The aunt also has the opportunity to socialize.
However, unfortunately, because Mrs. Du was ill, Aunt Sun took Jing Shu and Qi Du to the Du Mansion to visit her cousin.
Aunt Zhuo is also ill, and Aunt Zhu is not feeling well either.
Only Aunt Yuan and Aunt Gui can come out to accompany the guests.
Hong Xianglin's injury has not yet recovered, but after his son suffered such a catastrophe, Aunt Su was also released from confinement, so she was able to take Yu Yan to participate in the reception.
He directed and served refreshments, chatted with the Lu family and his daughter, and arranged banquets.
In addition, the Ji sisters don't have to worry about where the Lu family, mother and son can take a nap.
Ji Jun felt like he was just a background wall.
The awareness of the background wall is: say less or don’t say anything, eat more, laugh more!
Don't worry about whether you understand or not, don't even care about whether you hear or not, as long as you keep the smile of "Don't show your eight teeth, and your lips are curved like a crescent moon", you are doing it correctly!
Yang felt that Liuli, as the eldest daughter and a girl to be married, should be dignified and steady, and should not be overly public at this time.
Yujue and Yuyan do things without thinking about the future and have no rules.
As for Bao Chang, his name is a bit unfair.
Therefore, Mei Lin was specifically asked to help Grandma Mu organize the affairs.
Meilin was flattered, and she wanted to show it in front of her aunt, and she also wanted to show it in front of Lu.
Anyone with long eyes can tell that this is a "blind date".
The young master from the Hou Mansion didn't come forward. It was obvious that he wasn't looking at Fu Wei.
Then it’s Fu Qunyan!
Doing the math on your fingers, Yuyan and Yujue basically have an arrangement now!
Bao Chang cannot be given priority either.
For Jing Shu, unless there are special circumstances, her uncle Du Bacheng will most likely have to arrange the marriage.
Hong Peiju was very willing to exchange her daughter's marriage for Du Baicheng's help.
Moreover, Jing Shu also has a younger brother from the same mother, so Hong Peiju will not make things particularly difficult for Jing Shu.
It's not the people of the Hou Mansion's turn to worry about the Ji sisters.
While Mei Lin carefully helped Grandma Mu arrange the relevant matters, her thoughts were also changing.
Although Fu Qunyan is not a first-rate talent, he is much better than Hong Xianglin. His whole person is refreshing, clean and polite.
Sitting there in a dignified manner, raising his hands and raising his head, he had a scholarly air, unlike Hong Xianglin, who had an air of fluidity soaked in wine and sex.
Now Fu Qunyan has won the imperial examination, and he studies diligently. He plans to participate in Qiuwei next year, so he has a bright future.
Although her father was only a seventh-rank official, he had real power in the civil service. The family was simple, and her mother was a step-brother with a low background. Naturally, she did not have much confidence in her status to dislike Mei Lin as a concubine.
However, it is easy for people to make mistakes when they are distracted.
Sometimes when she was extremely anxious, she didn't dare to look at Nanny Mu's disgusted eyes and could only look at Ji Jun for help.
In full view of the public, Ji Jun couldn't always pretend to be a quail, he could only give some pointers without showing off.
Then, he pretended to drink tea, lowered his head and smiled.
She didn't know that when Yang saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Over there, when Mrs. Lu looked at Ji Jun, there was a strange light in her eyes.
Ji Min frowned slightly.
In his previous life, this Fu Yanqun fell in love with Yuyan at first sight!
She remembered that he nodded slightly to everyone in the Hou family, and only smiled happily when he faced his beautiful face!
Ji Min remembered that Yang wanted to marry Mei Lin to Fu Qunyan. In fact, this was Su Jin's suggestion!
When Mrs. Lu saw that Su Jin's son was the actual eldest son of the Hou family, she wanted to curry favor with him.
However, Mrs. Lu looked down upon Hong Xianglin and felt that unless Hong Xianglin was now the Marquis, her daughter might consider marrying into the Marquis's house.
After all, her daughter prefers to marry that kind of young talent, and even secretly told her that she would not marry anyone who is not a Jinshi!
I expect Hong Xianglin to become a Jinshi, tsk tsk, forget it!
My son, it’s not wrong to marry a concubine from the Hou family now. The big deal is that in the future, hehehe...
Su Jin felt that Fu Zheng was the head of the Ministry of Personnel and could help Hong Xianglin find a position.
If Hong Xianglin now has a serious job, Hong Peiju will definitely look up to his son!
In this way, both Su Jin and Lu wanted to use nothing.
Meilin has become the best choice!
But Su Jin convinced Yang that she would not say that. She said with an apologetic smile:
"Meilin married into the Fu family, so she and the eldest lady can be considered as close friends, and they can also help each other!"
Yang would not be harsh and difficult for the concubine, but she would not go out of her way to help with the planning.
Besides, this is a good marriage for Mei Lin.
However, Ji Min remembered her last life, when she and Bao Chang bumped into him in the garden and expressed his feelings to Yu Yan:
"Sister Yuyan, I will definitely go to high school! I promise you, in the future, I will make you a second-grade imperial wife, no! First-grade! I swear not to take concubines in this life! Once you enter the high gate, there will be many Woman, you won’t be happy. If you marry me, I will only stay with you for the rest of my life..."
However, the jade face's eyes were as soft as spring water, shimmering, and dazzlingly beautiful. But his eyes were full of ridicule and calculation.
She said softly: "Don't be like this. My father has several aunts. If you join the cabinet to worship the prime minister and I am the only one, people will say that I am jealous. Besides, this time I want to marry sister Meilin to you. , how can I steal my sister’s husband? How about you tell your mother and marry both of us, but if I am the eldest, Mei Lin, I will be your concubine? "
Fu Qunyan really went and said it.
Yang was furious, thinking that Fu Qunyan was simply out of his mind and wanted to swallow the elephant!
Don't beat him out just for Liuli's sake!
Mrs. Lu felt that Su Jin was dishonest and made her son look embarrassed!
The two families broke up on bad terms!
However, this matter has no impact on Liuli, Yuyan, the Hou Mansion, or the Tao family at all.
Mei Lin has no chance of becoming the Fu family's wife.
Now when Ji Min saw Fu Qunyan again, he felt pitiful and hateful.
A graceful lady, a gentleman who loves to be courteous, and very beautiful. There is nothing wrong with your admiration for her.
But where do you put Mei Lin?
This is because Yang didn't agree. If he agreed, you and Yuyan would be in love and love each other, and Meilin would deserve to be you and Yuyan's background wall every day?
Ji Min looked at Fu Qunyan's furtive gaze at Yu Yan indifferently, then turned his head and responded to Yu Jue in a low voice.
Yang and Lu were having a lively chat at this time, and Su Jin took the opportunity to join in the fun.
For a time, the whole room was filled with laughter and laughter.
Suddenly, Mrs. Yang smiled and said to Mr. Lu: "Now some flowers are blooming in the garden of our Marquis Mansion. Are your young master and eldest daughter interested in taking a stroll? Let the children not stay here, everyone. They are relatives, and the children should move around more and get closer!"
Su Jin took advantage of the situation and flattered her with a smile: "Madam is very considerate. I saw Madam Fu and Madam Fu fell in love with each other. I was fascinated by your conversation! You forgot about the children!"
Mrs. Yang then said to Aunt Mu: "Take the children for a walk in the garden and tell the servants to be more careful!"
The brothers and sisters of the Fu family and the daughters of the Hou family stood up and bowed in response, bowing and exiting.
After leaving the living room, Liuli excused herself.
The Ji sisters are with Yu Jue, and Bao Chang is with Yu Yan.
Mei Lin naturally joined the Fu brothers and sisters.
Aunt Mu suddenly stopped and said to Ji Jun: "Miss Ji, Mrs. Fu heard that you and Miss Ji went to Dali Temple to help out recently, and she admired you very much. Mr. and Mrs. Fu also admired her very much and wanted to I would like to ask you for advice, madam, please entertain Mr. Fu and Miss Fu well!"
Mei Lin heard the words and felt like a lightning strike, her mind roaring.
Ji Min's heart suddenly sank!
Yu Yan looked on proudly and grimly.
Ji Jun, "..."
Why, why don’t you let me eat melon without stopping?
