Chapter 23: Door-to-door

Qin Hanzhen blinked a few times, thinking that he was dazzled. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This is obviously just a child, why is he wearing shackles? And it looks like an iron shackle?

The curtain of the opposite window hung down, obscuring the situation in the car. No matter how anxious Qin Hanzhen was in his own car, the small curtain refused to shake. Fortunately, both carriages were crowded, and as they moved slowly, they inevitably had to jolt a few times, and the curtain shook again. Several times, the angle was just right, and Qin Hanzhen saw the young man in the carriage again. Sure enough, he was wearing a pair of shackles!

Qin Hanzhen gasped, but unexpectedly, the young man suddenly raised his eyes and looked over. The light in his carriage was dim, and the small curtain shook in a small way, Qin Han really couldn't see it really, he only saw his pair of black eyes, his eyes were deep, and a sentence involuntarily appeared in his mind: those eyes are like autumn water, like cold stars, like treasure beads, like white mercury with two pills of black mercury in them.

The young man looked over, and he didn't know if he could see Qin Hanzhen's description clearly, and his eyes flickered, and his eyes stayed on her.

Qin Hanzhen is still in the process of filial piety, wearing a white cheesecloth cotton jacket, and his head is covered with a linen-colored cotton armor with no seams. She also wore a double bun in her hair with a green head rope. A discerning person will know that she is wearing filial piety at a glance.

When the young man looked at him like this, Qin Hanzhen was shocked to realize that the other party seemed to be wearing a piece of clothing that was close to hemp white, and the hairband on his head was also blue and white, could it be ...... He also has filial piety?

Without waiting for Qin Han to really think about it, the curtain of the carriage on the opposite side hung down again, blocking her vision. Immediately afterwards her own carriage also moved, and moved forward slowly, and in a short time she entered the city gate, only to see from a distance that the carriage was left behind, and soon disappeared.

Under the eaves of the carriage, there was a lantern with the word "Wen" written on it. Look at the coachman who drove the car, and the slaves who followed the car, the eight people in front and back, also dressed in uniform clothes, obviously not ordinary people, but not in the public family. Since they are not in the public house, how can they still shackle the teenager in the car?

Qin Han was really puzzled, but she may have been lying on the car window for a little longer, and Chunhong spoke up: "Third girl, we have already entered the city, there are many people outside, let's put down the curtain." Although Datong City is lively, it is far from the capital. When they arrived in the capital, the three girls could look at it however they wanted, but it was not good to be too willful outside. If a rough man outside sees you, he will make people laugh. ”

Qin Hanzhen pursed her lips, lowered the curtain, and looked back at her: "How old am I? ”

Chunhong was stunned, not quite understanding what it meant to have a low laugh. Seeing this, Qin Hanzhen said, "Tsk": "Why can't my sister understand it again?"

Chunhong blushed and said, "No...... No, the three girls speak very well, yes...... It's the slave who is shallow and doesn't understand what you mean. ”

Of course, Qin Hanzhen's official words are good, and his words are ten times stronger than Niu's. Mr. Qin was also surprised, but he and Wu Shaoying's official words were very good, and he just thought that his little granddaughter was so young and talented that he could learn so quickly. But in the eyes of these girls in Chunhong and Xia Qing, Qin Hanzhen's official language learned too quickly, which means that one of their roles has disappeared. Xia Qing didn't think there was anything, but Chunhong was always a little unwilling. But no matter how unwilling you are, what can you do?

The convoy entered Datong City and soon came to the neighborhood where the families of the garrison lived. Hu Bo Hu Ma and Hu Yong had both lived in Qin An's house, so they were very familiar with the road conditions, and it didn't take long for them to find a place. Hu Yong stepped forward and slapped the door, slamming the door loudly. The porter opened the door impatiently and came out, and when he saw that it was him, he frowned: "Why are you again?

Hu Yong sneered: "You have just been arrested! Why don't you hurry up and report to the second master? The old lady is here!"

The porter was stunned, and saw that he was followed by a large group of carriages and horses, and was taken aback, and quickly closed the door, and footsteps sounded behind the door.

Hu Yong scolded: "Unruly boy! The old lady is here, what door are you closing? This is also what your grandmother taught? In-laws come to the door, is this the rule? I don't understand the etiquette at all!"

His voice was so loud that the neighbors heard it, and many people opened the door to come out to take a look, and they were a little surprised to see that it was Hu Yong, and then looked at the convoy behind him, and they were even more surprised. The golden elephant was clever, and soon signaled his servants to go over to say hello, and after a while, he came back with the news and told Mr. Qin: "Grandma An Wu seems to be telling her neighbors that when Ah Yong came a few months ago, he was fighting outside and causing trouble, and was wanted by the officials of the Yamen, so he fled in fear, and the family has reported to the official to arrest the fugitive slave." Therefore, the three masters and three wives came to the door today, and they also brought Ah Yong, and the neighbors felt strange. ”

Old Mr. Qin sneered and said to Jin Xiang: "You go to the yamen to inquire, if there is such a thing, then the case will be closed." Ah Yong was falsely accused by He Ziyu, thinking that someone in the yamen colluded with the He family brothers and sisters, took their money, and framed Ah Yong. Ah Yong has now entered Datong City, if he does not close the case, it will be inconvenient to enter and exit in the future. "With the face of the Chengenhou Mansion, this kind of thing should be easy. The golden elephant agreed, but with a roll of his eyes, he sent a long entourage to do it, and he didn't leave. He also wants to stay and watch the good show of Sanfang Anwu's grandmother.

After a while, the door opened again, and He Shi greeted him with a pale face, followed by several maids-in-law, among whom the most decently dressed one seemed to be Qin Taisheng's family.

He had already seen the reaction of his neighbors, his heart sank, and he reluctantly smiled and saluted to Mr. Qin, who turned over and dismounted: "Why are your father-in-law and mother-in-law here? No one came to report before, and the second master is still in the camp, and I don't know when he will come back. ”

Mr. Qin threw the horsewhip to Brother Hun, ignored He, walked to the first carriage behind him, and helped Niu get out of the car. Mama Tiger followed. Then, everyone in the carriage behind also came down, and Mama Zhang hugged Qin Hanzhen down, and there were Chunhong, Xia Qing, Brother Parrot, etc., at a glance, it was the posture of a big family traveling, and the He family was stunned.

Mr. Qin helped Niu into the door, and Qin Hanzhen and Wu Shaoying followed, ignoring He. The golden elephant and the two deacons ordered everyone to place the carriage and luggage, and one of them stepped forward and saluted the He family: "Say hello to the fifth grandmother, may I ask the fifth grandmother, where should we go to place so many carriages and servants?"

He stayed for a while before stammering and asking, "You...... Who are you? I've never seen you before?"

The grandmother smiled and said, "We are from the Hou Mansion in Beijing, and we have been ordered by the Hou Ye and Mrs. to go to Mizhi to pick up the third master, the third wife and the third girl back to Beijing." ”

He's eyes were straight: "What...... What is the Hou Mansion? The three old men and three wives you are talking about...... What the hell is going on with my parents-in-law?!"

Seeing that she didn't know anything, the grandmother wanted to explain, but it was a long story, looking left and right, and said, "Fifth grandmother, how to talk about the little ones in this time and a half? What do you think of the little ones who are done with their errands and come back to you again?"

He Shi's heart was messy, but he was still a little clear: "Where is there such a big place in the family to place so many carriages......? Can't you go elsewhere to find a place?"

When the grandmother heard this, she was also helpless. Looking in from the gate, you can roughly estimate the size of this house, and it is indeed impossible to fit so many carriages and horses. Not to mention the large pile at the door, just a few masters in the third room, plus the people waiting around them, may not be able to squeeze it.

The grandmother turned around and said to Jin Xiang like this, and Jin Xiang clapped: "First put the carriage and horses in order, the car that the three masters, the three wives and the three girls are sitting in, and the car with important luggage, first move it to the yard and put it down, and the others will stop by the side of the road." Ask a few people to inquire nearby if there is a bigger inn to settle our people. ”

The grandmother said: "The third master and the third wife are only afraid that they will live here for a few days, although the inn is good, it is noisy in the end, it is better to visit the neighborhood to see if there is a clean house, and rent it for a month." If we live for less than a month and leave, it will only cost a few taels of silver, but it will be cheaper. ”

After thinking about it, the golden elephant agreed, and ordered someone to do it. The others were ordered by him, and soon they went into action, and in a short time the carriages were all gone, and the maids entered the courtyard and stood standby, and the male servants stood by the side of the carriage, guarding the pedestrians, and each performing his own duties, very well-behaved.

He was stunned again. How did she ever be the daughter of an official family, she asked herself to see the world, look at this posture, she knew that she had met a slave in a wealthy family, but she didn't know what was going on with the "Hou Mansion", her father-in-law was just a rural teacher, although she had taught a few promising people and jinshi, but it was still 108,000 miles away from the wealthy Hou Mansion in the capital, and her mother-in-law was just a rich man, how did she suddenly change and have a relationship with the Hou Mansion?

He had a weak heart, knowing that his in-laws would have bad intentions when they came to Datong this time. But she touched her abdomen, felt a little more confident, turned around and led people into the gate, and ordered people to close the door to avoid the neighbors from having the opportunity to come to the house to inquire.

My husband is still training in the battalion, and it is common for him not to go home for ten days. If she copes with it properly, maybe she can prevaricate and send her in-laws away early. It's just that the neighbors saw today's scene, and it was inevitable that the news would leak, and she had to find a way to deal with the aftermath.

As soon as she walked into the main hall, she heard her father-in-law, Mr. Qin, instruct Uncle Hu and the steward he didn't know: "They said that Brother An is still in the camp and has not returned, why is this Datong City training all day long? He turned his head and glanced at He, "There are some things that cannot be delayed, as soon as possible, everyone can rest assured as soon as possible." ”

He Shi's heart was cold, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition. (To be continued.) )
