Qin Hanzhen sensed that something was not quite right in Zhao Mo's mood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She caught a glimpse of her grandfather and grandmother playing golden songs on demand with the people in the Qingyin Elementary School, and she was having a lot of fun, and she couldn't pay attention to them for the time being, so she lowered her voice and asked Zhao Mo: "Cousin Zhao, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"

Zhao Mo looked at her and smiled gently: "It's okay, I'm not in a bad mood." ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "What do you pretend to be in front of me, everyone is so familiar, your current state is obviously different from usual, do you think I can't see it?"

Zhao Mo snorted and laughed: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, cousin, I shouldn't hide it from you, after all, everyone knows you so well...... It's not that I'm in a bad mood, it's just that the afternoon sun is warm, and the music on the boat is slow, and I'm just a little sleepy......" He said and covered his mouth with his hand and yawned.

Do you want to doze off......

Qin Hanzhen believed it, and said, "Who told Cousin Zhao that he didn't rest at noon just now, so he had to take me to play the customs of the Flower Dynasty? If I slept for a while just now, I wouldn't be sleepy now." ”

Zhao Mo said: "It is estimated that you will be sleepy." Why do you think uncles, grandparents, and grandparents like this kind of slow tune? I feel like my eyelids are falling when I hear it. ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help laughing, and looked back at his grandfather who was interested in chatting with his grandmother about several guqin songs that were popular in Jinling more than thirty years ago, all of which were the types that were easy to cause spring sleepiness, and he felt that he also wanted to fall asleep.

The boat they took slowly moved along the Qinhuai River, and after going around in a circle, they returned to the vicinity of the inner bridge, but they did not go ashore in Zhushi, but chose to go to the area of Huitong Bridge.

When we came ashore, the sun was already setting in the west. They stopped at a famous opera garden and tea garden nearby. Zhao Mo sent someone to book a private room in advance, just in time for a new play this year to prepare for the first fold. Qin Bai, Niu Shi and Qin Hanzhen listened to the play while eating Jinling's special snacks provided by the tea garden. When night fell, Zhao Mo ordered someone to order a table of noodles from a well-known time-honored restaurant nearby and send it over, and eat it directly in the tea garden.

There is a pickled dish on the table, which was originally Niu's favorite Jiangnan dish. But this time, it was spring bamboo shoots instead of the winter bamboo shoots that I was used to eating before, and it was still cooked by a famous chef, which added a three-point flavor. Niu Shi was very happy to eat, and discussed with Qin Bai whether he wanted to find a good cook in Jinling and bring him back to his home in the capital? Qin Bai's taste was originally biased towards the south, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited, so he instructed Zhou Xiangnian to do it, not only to be a chef for cooking, but also to invite a dim sum master.

When they have eaten and drunk enough, the new play is finished. Sure enough, it is a new work of a famous artist, Qin Hanzhen, a person who doesn't understand the lyrics, can see that this play is very well written, and the actor is also very skilled, compared to the play he heard in Qinzhuang, the level is many times higher, and it can be regarded as an increase in knowledge.

After leaving the opera garden, they took the car back to the house of Confucius Temple. On this day, it can be regarded as a happy departure, and everyone is very happy. Qin Hanzhen felt in his heart that his birthday was much more meaningful than Zhao Mo's birthday, so he said to him privately: "Today's birthday is called a birthday, only our own family gets together for entertainment, which is much better than socializing with so many strangers on the day when Erlong raised his head in February." That day was an objective need, and I wronged Cousin Zhao, so I just thought that my cousin had a birthday with me today. I'll make up a gift for my cousin when I go back, and Ming'er will ask the kitchen to make a few dishes that my cousin likes to eat. ”

Zhao Mo pursed his lips and smiled: "My cousin has already given me a gift, so I don't have to give it a second time." Today's arrangement, I was very attentive, and I also ate and played with what I wanted to eat and play. Even if my cousin doesn't say it, I still have to make up for my birthday today, so I don't have to make up for it. ”

Qin Hanzhen just said this, but couldn't help but sigh: "There are still a lot of fun and delicious foods in Jiangnan, and we haven't had time to try them yet." If only I could spend more time here. When the north is warmer, let's go back to the capital. ”

Zhao Mo's eyes flashed, and he smiled and didn't speak.

After arriving home, Qin Bai and Niu gave a few words in the main courtyard, and then asked the children to go back to their rooms to freshen up and rest. After a day of playing, although there was not much time to walk, and everyone was not tired, Qin Bai still felt that his wife was tired and needed to take a good rest, and he was so good to ask for warmth. Qin Hanzhen didn't bother to watch his grandparents show affection, so he pulled Zhao Mo out, said a few words, and then said goodbye and went back to the room.

Zhao Mo returned to his courtyard by himself, and before he entered the door, the little servant Ah Xing came up: "Brother, the news that was just delivered from outside said that the person who transported the tea to Datong had arrived at the place, and the journey was safe, and the tea was not damaged." When my uncle and my cousin received my brother's letter, they were very happy and had already asked my second uncle to take care of the tea leaves. The second uncle said that the tea sent by my brother is very good, and the sales will not be bad. At the latest, before the Qingming Festival, the silver will be delivered. ”

Zhao Mo nodded and said, "You take the words down and tell them to make a good living." There are many tea gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, there are always those that do not sell well locally, and the new tea is about to come down, and there will definitely be old tea that needs to be cleared, so let them pick the well-preserved tea leaves, buy them at a good price, and then send them to Datong. If this path is opened, it will be a long-term business in the future. I can be more relaxed, and the people under them have the opportunity to return to their hometowns to visit their relatives. ”

Ah Xing's eyes turned red, thinking that his relatives were still in Datong, and maybe there would be a chance to go back to see them in the future, so he hurriedly responded and retreated respectfully.

Ah Shou was silent beside him, but his eyes flashed slightly.

After Zhao Mo returned to the room, he took a bath under the waiter of the girl, changed into homely clothes and came out, holding a book and reading under the window, in fact, he was just making a appearance, and his mind had long been ignorant of where he had flown to.

Ah Shou came in from outside the door, motioned for Qing Dai to take someone down, and then walked to Zhao Mo's side and whispered back to him: "There is news from the Shangyuan County Ya, saying that Li Yanchao has finally come to his senses today, and he also learned the news of Zhen Li's imprisonment from his family, and learned that it was the Li family who reported it, and immediately vomited blood, and the Li family was already in a mess." The new county order has arrived in Jinling, and after bringing all the family, he lives in the post station, urging the Li family to move out as soon as possible. The affairs of the county government were all handled by the people of the previous county order. It turned out that those people did not leave with the servants of the previous county commander's family, they were waiting for the new county order to come, and after hearing about it, they stayed directly to assist the new master. ”

Zhao Mo smiled coldly: "Xiao thinks about things that Xiao shouldn't think, and it will end up like this." Li Yanchao committed his own crimes, and now it can be regarded as retribution. Then he asked, "Is there any other news from the prefect's yamen and the governor's yamen?"

Ah Shou said: "Everything is normal in the prefect's yamen, as if they don't know anything. The Li family begged to come to the door, but they didn't even see the face of the prefect of Jinling, only a man came out and said a few words that he didn't know and sent people away. There is no new news from the governor's yamen, and he must continue to interrogate that Zhen Lili. I thought that he was sent to do such an important errand, and he must be a very loyal person, but he didn't expect that after only two days of punishment, he recruited Princess Shu and Mrs. Tu, and even ignored the relatives who were still in the Tu family, so people really didn't know what to say. ”

Zhao Mo said lightly: "Looking at his actions, you know that he is not a smart person." Those who come to commit assassination still have to live in a good inn, pay attention to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and obviously they are not familiar with the place, but they still have to turn against Li Yanchao regardless of the overall situation -- can such a person know what is the importance of the matter? Since he has already recruited the main envoy, we don't have to worry about the next affairs, and we just need to pay attention to how the governor's yamen will handle the follow-up affairs. Now that we have our own house in Jinling and a grange, it is imperative to take care of the grange first, and the trade routes in Datong are also well managed. ”

Ah Shou asked in a low voice: "Has my brother decided to stay in Jinling? When Yongjiahou returns to the capital, my brother will not go back with him?" Although the prince has orders, but the brother has Yongjiahou to protect him, and he has made a contribution to the prince, even if he returns to the capital, the prince can't do anything to you. But if my brother really lives in Jiangnan for a long time and is far away from the capital, you can't decide what happens in the future. It's far away from Yongjiahou, and after a long time, the affection will slowly fade away. What will my brother do in the future?"

Zhao Mo smiled slightly: "I didn't really decide to stay in Jinling because of a few words of instructions from my father." If you are an insider, you should understand that after the prince returns to Beijing safely, although he will not publicize his experience in Jiangnan, Zhen Li has been arrested, the Tu family and the Shu Wangfu have been exposed, and the truth of the matter cannot be hidden, and sooner or later it will reach his father's ears. If my father knew that I had met the crown prince in Jinling, but did not tell him the news, how would he be angry? The prince's health has improved, and after returning to Beijing, it will naturally be a new situation, and my father will be resentful and angry with me? At this time, what should I do when I go back to Beijing? It is better to stay in Jiangnan for two years and live a comfortable life for myself, and also accumulate a little family wealth for myself. When my father realizes the facts and calms down, it will not be too late for me to go back to see him. ”

Ah Shou understood, and hurriedly said: "Brother is thoughtful, it's a small negligence." He retreated calmly.

Zhao Mo picked up the book again, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and showed a meaningful smile.

He wanted to stay in Jinling, of course, not just to escape his father's wrath. In the capital, he was restricted in what he could do, but in Jinling, he was much freer. Here, there is no father who changes his order, no vicious stepmother, no Wang family, no Liao Wangfu, and no bunch of powerful people with respected status who can press on top of his head and step on him at any time.

On the day Long raised his head, although it was to cooperate with the arrangements of Qin Bai, Huang Jincheng and the governor Yamen, he also took the opportunity to show his face in front of the officials and businessmen of Jinling and established his status as a noble member of the clan. Now in Jinling City, there are few people who don't know how to underestimate him. He lives here, which is naturally more comfortable than in the capital.

What's more, his cousin Qin Hanzhen once mentioned to him that only when you have money in your hands can you do what you want, and the so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure. Although he didn't quite understand the wording of the sentence, he still understood the meaning. Although his uncles and grandparents are good to him, he can't send people under the fence for the rest of his life, he always has to fight for his own strength, accumulate enough family funds, and make the necessary connections before he can hope to fight for more things.

Those he deserved ...... And what you want to get.
