Space in hand: Genius women engaged in scientific research in ancient times

I miss the rooster's crow in the evening, and I wish the crows had moved in the morning.

The next day, the main room.

"The eldest lady asked the third lady and the fifth lady to enter through the side door...the second young master came later..."

The eldest maid Qian Shuang respectfully reported yesterday's situation.

There was a dignified and majestic old man sitting in front of him. This was obviously the old lady. It was she who asked Aunt Qin and the maid Qian Shuang in front of her to pick up Qian Xiao and Liu's mother and daughter.

"Wei Ge'er is kind-hearted."

"Grandma, it's not that my grandson is nosy. There are a lot of people around the house. If they make a fuss, it will bring shame on the Qian family. I might as well let them remember me, so that I can make good use of it then."

If Qian Xiao heard this, he would look like hehe. They are not fools. If they treat her a little bit well, they have to act like a licking dog and give up. They should have taken the main entrance!

"You are the only one who is smart."

The second young master, Qian Wei, was born to the third wife and the third aunt. There are not many men in the Qian family, and the old general Qian Wu has no concubines. According to him, women are too troublesome. Although he thinks so, he will not interfere too much with his three sons.

The old general Qian Wu and the old lady are still regarded as a model couple by the people in the capital. Even storytellers are praising the love story of the two when they were young. At the same time, the people love the old general even more, especially the women in the capital are more envious of the old lady.

The old lady is also very successful and has three sons. The eldest son Qian Beiling has a wife and a concubine. The eldest lady Shen only has one daughter, the eldest daughter Qian Rou is married. The concubine, Aunt Huang, has three daughters, namely the second lady Qian Xiang, the third lady Qian Yun, and the fourth lady Qian Yun.

Among them, the fourth young lady, Qian Yun, is now hair-haired and at the age of getting married.

I don’t know why, but there are no men in the big house.

The old lady began to worry secretly, but her eldest son followed the old man away all year round and only came home a handful of times, so she gave up looking forward to it.

Thinking of her second son Qian Lirui, the old lady felt a pain in her heart.

The second son, Qian Lirui, was actually the most like the old general. He died fighting the enemy bravely in the barbarian war, and he only married one wife. Qian Lirui's body was transported back to the Qian family, but his wife couldn't accept the fact and went with him. The remaining child, Qian Cheng, was only three years old.

The old lady felt sorry for her eldest grandson who was all alone, so she kept him by her side. When he was 15 years old, the eldest young master Qian Cheng asked to go on a trip and would not return all year round. The old lady simply let him be happy as he pleased. Just live well.

The third son, Qian Hegui, was Qian Xiao's so-called father, and he was forced to marry the Liu family. Liu's father and the old general were brothers who fought through life and death together, and they fought bloody battles together. When he was dying, he entrusted his daughter, now Mrs. Liu, to the care of the old general.

Qian Hegui loved and felt sorry for Mrs. Liu at first. Mrs. Liu was not bad looking, well-educated and well-protected by her family. But later, for some unknown reason, Liu and Qian Hegui drifted apart...

Qian Hegui had just been promoted and Mrs. Liu was pregnant. It was the time when he was most proud, but after he brought two concubines into the house, he began to be cold towards Mrs. Liu.

The second concubine, Mrs. Liu, had a daughter, Qian Yang, and the third concubine, Mrs. Chen, had a son, the second young master, Qian Wei.

Nowadays, the Qian family only has two sons. Therefore, the old lady doted on her second grandson, whom she often met.

The Qian family doesn't pay much attention to the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines. The old man is upright and carefree, and the old lady listens to the old man's words.

"That's all. Since I left the affairs of the mansion to each house to manage, I haven't been involved in the affairs of the mansion for a long time. After all, the fifth girl is also the granddaughter of the Qian family, so we can't tell the difference."

"Five Yatou's place is just like other ladies. Arrange a few more maids, and the food and clothing must be the same. Qian Shuang, you have a stable character, keep an eye on it."

"Yes, old lady."

Qian Shuang didn't say much. The old lady always acted fairly. It's a pity that the people below are always mischievous.

"Why haven't you seen Liuqin today?"

The eldest maid also felt strange. Aunt Qin has served the old lady for many years. She is the old lady's maid. She does her best and never makes any mistakes.

"Old madam, Aunt Qin is sick. She can't get up. Let me tell you that I need to rest for half a day and come back slowly."

At this time a maid came in to report.

After all, Aunt Qin is an old aunt who has served her for many years. She has no credit but hard work, so the old lady got up.

"I'm going to take a look. Qian Shuang, go and ask Doctor Cheng to come over."

......

Downstairs.

"Back to the old lady, Aunt Qin can't lift her limbs. She seems to have a stroke and her pulse is unstable. There seems to be a foreign body in her body. I can only temporarily let Aunt Qin relieve the pain at this time. As for whether it can be cured, I can't say. It is also possible that Aunt Qin will spend the rest of her life in bed from now on."

"Old Madam, this slave can no longer serve Old Madam..."

Aunt Qin's whole body was in unbearable pain but she couldn't move. It was like tens of thousands of ants biting her, and she wanted to die immediately.

The old lady frowned.

"Doctor Cheng, Aunt Qin has always had no physical problems. Why is she like this suddenly?"

"Back to the old lady, some diseases will accumulate and burst out all at once. Aunt Qin is old, so it's hard to say..."

Aunt Qin suddenly remembered that she felt a little sting when she pulled Miss Fifth yesterday. It must be Miss Fifth!

But Aunt Qin couldn't say that. She knew the old lady's character and was afraid of the fifth lady's revenge. She has no evidence. Now I just can't move, what if I die? Aunt Qin suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

"Old madam, maybe this slave is old and the illness has come with her, which makes the old madam worried. Maybe I can just lie down and be fine."

The old lady sighed, "You have been with me for many years, so you can enjoy your old age in peace."

After the doctor and the old lady left.

Aunt Qin stopped the maid Qian Shuang, "Qian Shuang, help me... help me find the fifth lady."

Qian Shuang was confused. What do you want to do with Miss Fifth?

"Tell Miss Fifth for me that I have been thinking about it all night and realized that my attitude was not good yesterday. I will apologize to my slave when she gets better."

Qian Shuang happened to want to take the maid to Miss Fifth's courtyard, so she agreed.

......

When Qian Shuang arrived at the courtyard, Qian Xiao was having breakfast with Mr. Liu. Today's meal was pretty good.

Qian Shuang explained the purpose of her visit to the eldest lady and asked the four maids to stand side by side in front of them and introduce themselves.

"My servants Xunxue, Qiuhan, Mengxin, and Yibai pay their respects to the third lady and the fifth lady."

Qian Xiao was surprised. She thought the old lady would dislike them both. Unexpectedly, the next day he told me that the food and clothing expenses should be the same as other ladies. It's quite fair. Qian Xiao also understood that the old lady did not interfere with Liu's arrangements.

After all, the mother-in-law cannot interfere too much when her son gets married, otherwise the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have constant conflicts and be troubled and laborious.

This old lady is quite smart.

Qian Xiao looked at the maid in front of him, who was only about 10 years old.

"From the left, you will be called Zhi Zhen, Huo Yao, Yin Brush, and Zaozhi. Tell us what you will do."
