第138章 一问三不知
红叶一副恨铁不成钢的模样。

丫鬟婆子们低垂着头,不敢出声。

见红叶这样,顾靖晖有点好笑。

小妻子的这个贴身丫鬟简直将狐假虎威发挥了个极致。

他停下了步子,站在人群外,看她们在搞什么。

红叶又道:“红棉,你来说说,看你这次记清楚了没有?”

一个机灵的小丫鬟应声上前,捡起草席上的药材,就开始讲了起来,说的有点儿磕巴。

顾靖晖听的都有些着急。

好半天才说完。

红叶点头。

接着是下一位。

有错的地方,红叶马上喊停,给予纠正。

一个接一个的复述,顾靖晖也记了下来。

红叶道:“好,都说完了,夫人说的份量也记住了吗?”

“记住了。”

红叶得意地对秦鸢道:“夫人,我们已经都学会了。”

秦鸢道:“不错,待会儿府里买来了药材,你们按照方子分出来。针线房暂停所有的针线活,赶制围兜,用药水泡过再围住口鼻,人手三条替换。”

顾靖晖等她们都散了,这才走上去,问:“怎么想到弄这些?”

秦鸢皱眉,道:“这是仁和堂的李郎中拿来的方子,说是能防范天花。”

顾靖晖愣了愣,问:“又是那个仁和堂?”

秦鸢点头。

顾靖晖道:“进屋里说吧。”

两人一前一后的走入正房,在外间坐下后,顾靖晖就问:“这方子真的能防范吗?”

秦鸢道:“李郎中拿来的方子,说是有五六成的把握。”

“五六成……”顾靖晖沉吟:“塞北曾因着一场天花,死了近两成的人口。”

秦鸢道:“这正是鸢儿担心的,赵娘子和那个婆子跑了出去,若是在府外也传起了天花,这可怎么好。”

顾靖晖一怔,惊讶地看向秦鸢。

他知道小妻子聪慧,没想到她能想这么远。

秦鸢道:“我调配的香料,也能防范于未然,但是一般人家用不起。”

顾靖晖激动地握住秦鸢的手,问:“鸢儿,伱怎么想到的?”

秦鸢道:“起初我以为是水痘,倒也不曾在意,只要出过痘的都不会再发,可后来推官们来了,逐个问起,那两个婆子的举动令人生疑,我就已经担心了。听闻小红问出来的话,我就有七八分信了。没等到娘请到太医验看,我就已经派人去找仁和堂的李郎中问对策,李郎中就送来了方子。”

顾靖晖点头:“李郎中大才。”

秦鸢又道:“李郎中声名不显,却是个有能耐的,他说若是水痘不药自愈,严重点的开个方子熬煮些药物也能挺过去。可若是天花,就难说了……”

秦鸢不由得叹气。

前世余杭县的疫症,死了何止是两成人口,许多村子的人都死绝了。

小东就死在了余杭县,连李郎中最后一面都没有见到。

得了疫症的人,死后都不能土葬。

她想为他收尸都不行,只能在李郎中的坟边砌了个衣冠冢。

顾靖晖叹气。

秦鸢问:“赵娘子可有消息?”

顾靖晖摇头。

“方才六弟回来,在横街大道附近瞧见了那个婆子,十八已经带人去抓了。”

秦鸢正色道:“赵娘子是夫君从塞北带回来的,天花若是从定北候府传了出去,咱们难脱干系。”

顾靖晖道:“我知道,你只管先照顾好府内,赵娘子和那个婆子生要见人死要见尸。”

秦鸢立即保证:“夫君放心,鸢儿一定照顾好府内,不让夫君忧心,只是……”

“只是什么?”

顾靖晖连忙问。

“只是……此事当报于京兆尹府。”

顾靖晖只犹豫了一瞬,便道:“依你。”

秦鸢松了口气。

此事报给京兆尹府,顾靖晖只是会受些责罚,总比压着事情,最后闹大来的好。

顾靖晖将顾十六叫了来,吩咐道:“拿上名帖去找今日来府内的推官,就说走失的赵娘子和婆子可能在府内传了天花。”

顾十六迟疑地看了眼顾靖晖。

“去吧,”顾靖晖面沉如水道:“如实禀报,不得隐瞒。”

顾十六点头去了。

草草用过晚膳后,顾靖晖便道:“你早些歇息,今日我去外院书房睡。”

秦鸢点头,顾侯爷只怕这一阵子都要忙碌起来了。

顾十八等人没有在横街大道找到人,府里的车夫却在顾六爷的马车底发现了那个婆子。

车夫立了大功,得了二十两赏银,还没来的及高兴,就被送到了单独隔出来的院子安置。

定北候府很大,主子又少,府里有许多空置的院子,秦鸢已经命人打扫出来,专门安置染病之人。

车夫需在里面住几天,以防被传了病症。

顾十八带人审讯那婆子时,用浸过药汁的围兜,将头面包的严严实实。

婆子起初咬牙不说,到了后来抗不过用刑,下半夜时分,顾十八将顾侯爷唤了起来。

“主子,那婆子交代了一些,只是……”

顾靖晖才睡下不久,连忙穿衣起身,道:“说。”

“那婆子说,死了的那个婆子是赵娘子的人,她是后面被招来照顾玉小姐的,知道的并不多,当时那两个孩子还不到一岁,庞海和赵娘子分开住着,很少提及父母亲友。”

顾靖晖皱了皱眉。

这就是一问三不知了。

那又为何要跑?

跑了又为何要跑回来?
顾十八又道:“赵娘子被六夫人惹怒了,骂骂咧咧了好一阵子,就让她们两个去六夫人的院子里扔东西,她发现事情不对,就长了个心眼,看赵娘子收拾细软逃了,她也跟着逃了出去。”

顾侯爷问:“赵娘子人呢?”

顾十八道:“她不知道,赵娘子不是昨晚逃走的,是白天人就不见了,她见情况不妙,晚上趁着守夜的婆子喝酒逃了出去。”

顾侯爷冷声道:“那她又为何回来呢?婆子为何死了?她知道什么?一问三不知?”

顾十八道:“属下无能。”

顾侯爷:“……”

顾侯爷烦恼地在屋子里打转,好半天才道:“你派人去几个皇子府瞧瞧。”

顾十八嗫嚅道:“侯爷?”

顾侯爷烦躁扬眉道:“那些守在府们外的探子,瞧见赵娘子鬼鬼祟祟出了府,他们会不跟着么?”

Although she is puzzled about why her younger sister behaves this way, one must seize a windfall when it falls from the sky!!! In her previous life, her younger sister envied her: “Qin Yuan could only pick what I discarded since childhood.

Where did my Prime Minister's wife go? Why is my husband still a low-ranking official? Besides the difficult mother-in-law, there’s also a childhood friend cousin watching closely!” Qin Yuan laughs: “This forced title of Duchess handed to me is quite enjoyable. Tsk tsk… I can do business, excel in medicine, and possess strategies both in mind and stomach. In my previous life, this Prime Minister's wife was all planned by me, naïve little sister.” In her past life, her husband was firmly locked with her younger sister, so in this life, she won’t have to exert effort climbing up with him; isn’t it better to achieve success on her own? — The Duke of Dingbei, who married late to defend the border, becomes a god of war in uniform, and when he shaves his beard, he turns into a handsome young man, with countless women yearning for him. On their wedding night, he left his young wife, thinking he could just coax her. Later… he discovers that she doesn’t care at all and has been playing him. Daily life in the Duke’s residence: The Duke of Dingbei kneels at the door: “I know my wife has me in her heart, please give me another chance.” After a long pause, Qin Yuan replies: “Depends on my mood.” Others: Tsk tsk, the Duke is indeed the lady’s devoted dog, a professional.
