Chapter Ninety-Six: A New Home
After lunch, Mama Tiger took the girl to tea again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Sanfang family and Zhao Mo all sat in the small hall, drinking tea and chatting, and they had the right to eat.
Brother Zi'er asked Qin Bai a little timidly: "Grandfather, you said that you want to write a letter to my father, can I also write a letter and let my father see that I have learned a lot of words?"
Qin Bai smiled lovingly: "Of course you can." My grandfather wanted to tell your father in a letter that you have been very well-behaved and obedient these days, and you have learned a lot of words, and you can already memorize half of the "Three Character Classic". Your father will be glad to find out. But if he can see your handwriting and know that you have made such great progress, he will be even more happy. ”
Brother Zi'er's face was full of joy: "Then grandson is going to write a letter to his father!"
Niu Shi hurriedly said: "I have just finished eating, what are you busy with? We send letters from our own family, we don't have to worry, it's not too late to take a nap and write." ”
Brother Zi'er obediently agreed, but no longer sat here chatting with his grandparents. He wanted to go to a nap earlier, so he could wake up earlier and write to his father.
Brother Zi'er took Xia He's hand and ran away. Qin Hanzhen asked Qin Bai and Niu: "Grandfather and grandmother are going to send a letter to the second uncle?"
Niu nodded: "We just arrived in the capital, and your father asked someone to bring a letter to your second uncle to report safety." It's been a few days. Your grandfather has won the knighthood, which is a great joy, tell your second uncle, so that he can be happy. Besides, we now have quite a few people under our hands, and the emperor has given them down again, so where can we use up these few people in our family? Your second uncle has only cleared a batch of manpower, and there is a shortage of people, so wouldn't it save money and trouble by sending them from home? It is more reliable than buying them from outside. ”
Qin Hanzhen thought about it, so he said, "Grandfather and grandmother remember to ask in the letter, can the second uncle send Sister Zhang to the Chen family?"
Niu smiled: "This is natural. If your second uncle hadn't sent anyone away by now, I would have to scold him. ”
Qin Bai turned to Zhao Mo: "Just now when I met the eldest master of the Xu family in Kurong Hall, my sister-in-law also came over and told me about you. Now that you have crossed the road in our house, you don't need to hide from people everywhere like before. You live in the Qingfeng Pavilion a little crowded, the east wing is empty on weekdays, it doesn't hurt you to stay, but if you meet Hanzhen and her father come back for vacation a few days ago, there will be many inconveniences. The west wing where Han Zhen lives is empty, and you are embarrassed to live in the girl's room. In that case, why don't you find another place to live in this house, and you can live more spacious?"
Zhao Mo hurriedly said: "It's good that I live in the East Chamber." When my cousin came back earlier, I slept in the study, and there was nothing inconvenient, so why bother moving around? I still have to study with my uncle and grandfather, and if I move somewhere else, won't it be far away?"
Qin Bai smiled and said, "No matter how far away it is, it's just in this mansion." And it's all temporary. When the house next door is vacated, we'll move in. Even if the two of us don't move, Hanzhen's father always has to move. At that time, the east chamber will be empty. If you still want to move back, it's up to you. It's just that I think it's not the same time it used to be. Your father has promised to send all the people who are waiting around you, and even if you live in the East Wing, where will there be a place for those many people?"
That's just as well. Zhao Mo hesitated.
Niu asked Qin Bai: "If Guanglu moves away, where are you going to move to? ”
Qin Bai said: "The guest rooms are too simple, not a place to stay for a long time. What the sister-in-law means is that the emperor ordered Guanglu to study with me, and his father also handed over the child to me. There were still vacant houses in the courtyard where Brother Jian and his brothers lived, so they simply asked Guanglu to move over and live with them. They are several years of the same age, and they happen to be companions. ”
Zhao Mo had never been to Qin Jian's residence, but after listening to Qin Hanzhen's introduction, he knew that the courtyard where Qin Jian lived was called Zheguitai, and Qin Shun lived with him. There is also an average-sized courtyard next door to Zheguitai called Yan Huilai, but it is Qin Jian's cousin who lives. There are indeed a lot of empty houses in these two courtyards, but he is an outsider, is it really convenient to move in?
Qin Bai gave him a brief introduction to the situation of the two courtyards, which he had heard from Qin Hanzhen a long time ago. Qin Bai said: "If you live in Zheguitai, you should be closer to Brother Jian'er." But only the west wing was left in the courtyard, and although the house was not small, it was a little crowded. If you live in Yan and return, the main room and the west wing are empty, and only Su Ge'er in the east wing lives in the long room. What the sister-in-law means is that you can move into the main house where Yan returned. The house is big, and it won't wronged you. ”
Zhao Mo hesitated. He actually wanted to stay in Seifukan. Whether it's Yan's return or Zheguitai, it's too far away from Qingfeng Pavilion. However, what Qin Bai said is also true, he lives in Qingfeng Pavilion, and he is a little crowded. Now he is only one person, and he can still compromise. When his old servants arrived in a few days, it would be impossible to crowd in this courtyard and disturb the quiet days of his uncles and grandparents. As a result, moving is inevitable.
It's just that Zheguitai and Yan return to the two courtyards, although the latter is more spacious, but because of the relationship between Qin Su who lives in the east wing, Qin Jian doesn't like to see this cousin, and it is estimated that he doesn't like to set foot in this courtyard. Moreover, Zhao Mo has lived in the Chengenhou Mansion for these days, and he probably understands that Qin Xun, the concubine of the second room of the Qin family, has turned six years old and is about to move away from his parents. Zhao Mo wasn't sure if if he moved into this room, would the second room of the Qin family be a little more dissatisfied with the third room? He wasn't sure if the Cheng Enhou wife Xu of the Qin family's room was using him to suppress the second room if he made this suggestion, but he didn't want to bring trouble to his uncle and grandfather's family.
Zhao Mo wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing whether he should take the initiative to talk about this matter so as to remind Qin Bai. Qin Bai just smiled: "This is where you will live in the future, you should think about it." Once you've thought about it, tell me the results, so you don't have to worry about anything. You're still a child, and if you encounter difficulties, you should leave them to the elders to solve. ”
Zhao Mo's eyes were hot, he hurriedly lowered his head and answered softly.
Qin Bai's words made him put aside all his worries. If his uncle and grandfather didn't take these things to heart, they didn't need him to worry about them. What does the Qin family's room want to do? Will the second room of the Qin family be resentful? What does this have to do with the third room of the Qin family? Could it be that the current Qin family's room and the second room can still be the third room?
Zhao Mo was sure in his heart, so he smiled and said to Qin Bai: "Since Mrs. Chengenhou has good intentions, I will accept her old man's affection." It's good for Yan to return, and the main house is also big. It's just that I still have to study at my uncle's grandfather on weekdays, so I'm afraid I'll spend more time in Seifukan. My luggage and servants will be left in Yan's return, and when Uncle Ping comes home to rest, I will stay there, and I usually act like this. ”
Qin Bai smiled and nodded: "That's fine." Niu also clapped his hands and said, "This is more convenient." Originally, I was reluctant to give you up. ”
Qin Hanzhen also thinks it's good, it's just that it's a little troublesome to run on both sides, but Zhao Mo likes it. She said to Zhao Mo: "I heard that the house over there has not been lived in for a long time, so it has to be cleaned well." After the cleaning was finished, I accompanied Cousin Zhao to see the house to see how it should be decorated. ”
Zhao Mo smiled and nodded. Qin Bai said: "Brother Xun'er in the second room is almost old and will move over next year, so the second nephew and daughter-in-law ordered someone to clean it and put a few large pieces of furniture. But the yard in the second room was too small for Yan to return, so he didn't appreciate it, so the house was left there like this, and no one cared about it. This will pass, but it will be easier, you only need to clean it again, and the large pieces of furniture are ready-made. I asked my second nephew and daughter-in-law to help watch it, and it shouldn't take a few days for Guanglu to live in. ”
Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo both knew that the second room had fallen in love with the Qingfeng Pavilion at that time, so naturally they didn't take Yan's return in their eyes. But now that the Qingfeng Pavilion has an owner, the main house where Yan returns will also live in a new owner, and the people in the second room don't know if they will regret that they were too picky at the beginning?
Zhao Mo's new residence was settled, and he thought that he should go to Qin Jian to talk and say hello. If the two become neighbors in the future, they can't stop communicating with each other because of Qin Su's existence, right?
Qin Bai said to Zhao Mo again: "Brother Jian'er has a good character, since you can get along with him, you can get along more in the future." He grew up in Beijing since he was a child, has a good temperament, has a wide range of contacts, and knows many clans, royal relatives, and noble children. If you make friends with him, let him introduce you to you, and get to know a few more friends, you will have connections in the capital in the future, and you won't have to count on us in case of trouble. ”
Zhao Mo knew that Qin Bai was genuinely thinking about him. When the children of the clans of the foreign feudal clans enter Beijing, they generally have to interact with the children of the clans in the capital before they can expand their contacts. When his father Zhao Shuo entered Beijing, because he went to hide from his father King Liao, and planned to succeed the royal family, it was impossible to get the help of the Liao Palace. Thanks to the introduction of the Wang family, Zhao Shuo met one or two clan elders, so that he could catch up with the palace and meet the emperor. But the Wang family is just a foreign minister, and thanks to the blessing of gaining power in the past few decades, they have made friends with a few nobles of the clan, which is limited in the end. Now Zhao Shuo has a good reputation and momentum outside, but in the clan, most people still have a wait-and-see attitude towards him. This is the disadvantage that Zhao Shuo has not yet been able to open up the clan's connections.
If Zhao Mo can use Qin Jian's power to make friends with the younger generation of the royal family members of the clan, make a few friends, and then use these young people to further understand the relatives and elders behind them, it is equivalent to surpassing his father and opening up contacts in the clan first. This may not bring him any great benefits, but at least, when the Xiao Wang clan wants to suppress him in the future, there will be no one in the clan to protect him.
The clan is different from ordinary families. If Xiao Wang's family thinks that with his family background, he can suppress the eldest son of the original partner as he wants, it is a dream!
Zhao Mo looked at Qin Bai, his heart was warm, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, uncle and grandfather." (To be continued.) )
