Chapter 187: Urgent Report
Qin Hanzhen waited with his grandmother Niu for a long time in the upper room of the main courtyard before he waited for his grandfather Qin Bai back.
Niu Shi chattered: "It's half a day when I go out, and when I go home, I still rub in the study outside until dark, and I can't even take care of eating, what's so important?" while urging the girls to hurry up and bring dinner while it was hot. Qin Bai said: "You guys eat first, I'll go freshen up and change my clothes first." As he spoke, he glanced at his granddaughter.
Qin Han was really embarrassed, remembering that today it seemed that because she couldn't see Mrs. Zhenxi Hou taking out her anger at her little aunt Qin Youyi, and Qin Youyi's performance was too bunty, she couldn't help but open her mouth and go back. Although I felt very cool at the time, I also exposed the truth that I was "well-informed" in disguise. My grandfather didn't know if he had heard about it, so he was looking for her to ask about it, right?
Qin Hanzhen hesitated for a moment, and caught a glimpse of the grandmother Niu's busy setting the meal and asking someone to bring clean clothes to Qin Bai, and he couldn't take care of himself for a while, so he took the messenger who took the clothes and sent them inside.
At this time, Qin Bai had simply washed his face, rearranged his hair, and when he looked back, he saw that Qin Hanzhen had taken his clean clothes, and he also changed his coat under the service of others. Then he waved his hand back and asked, "What's the matter?" How did you know about Zhenxihou? But Guanglu told you?"
Qin Hanzhen could only smirk, and there was a little flattery on his face: "Grandfather, don't be angry, we just talked about it in private, and we didn't let others hear it." Last time, Brother Zhao calculated Zhao Zhu, I saw it from the beginning to the end, it was too much of a coincidence, and it was inevitable that I would be suspicious, and as soon as I asked Cousin Zhao, he told me. Actually, I know it's nothing, and I won't talk nonsense to people. Cousin Zhao told me the truth, and it saved me from asking around on my own. The reason why I didn't tell you is because I know this kind of court matter, and my grandfather must think that the boudoir girl should not know. I was afraid that you would talk about me, so I didn't dare to mention ......"
Qin Bai nodded her forehead helplessly: "You, you are deliberately pretending not to know in front of me." Are you playing tricks on your grandfather, too?
Qin Hanzhen continued to laugh and flatter.
Where did Qin Bai really get angry with his granddaughter? Just after saying two words, she began to complain about Zhao Mo: "Guanglu is the same, he was sent by the emperor to secretly run an errand, but it was too careless to casually tell you the secrets of the court to a little girl." Isn't he afraid that you will reveal the truth? You are also a breathless person, and you actually showed your mouth in front of Mrs. Zhenxi Hou. If his granddaughter hadn't fired that anger at Mrs. Zhenxihou, he would never have thought that his own granddaughter would know such a secret.
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly said: "Grandfather, you don't know, Mrs. Zhenxi Hou came to our house today, and as soon as she saw the little aunt, she began to scold, not to mention how ugly the scolding was, and even the reputation of the queen mother and our Qin family was stepped on together, how can people bear it? I was angry when I looked at her ignorant and self-righteous appearance, so I couldn't help but refute it." Now Mrs. Zhenxi Hou also knows that it is bad, and she will not dare to bully our family is a good person in the future, so she will give us a look casually. The little aunt can also be a little less angry at her in-law's house. Actually, that's pretty good. She carefully tugged at her grandfather's sleeve, "Don't blame Cousin Zhao, I have the heart to ask him, why is he embarrassed to refuse me? Besides, he will never reveal anything really confidential to me." When he came back from an errand outside, or heard any news, he also reported it to the palace to make sure that it was not an important secret, and then he would come to tell me. I don't go out of one door, and everyone who doesn't go out of the second door, how can there be a risk of leaking secrets? Cousin Zhao be careful!"
Qin Bai sighed helplessly: "Grandfather listens to this, why does he feel so empty? You ask yourself, do you believe these words?"
Qin Hanzhen blinked: "Believe it." ”
Qin Bai glared at her, not wanting to say more: "It's okay." You just have to remember not to talk nonsense in front of people. Since Mrs. Zhenxi Hou doesn't dare to underestimate our Qin family anymore, when you come to others in the future, you must respect her as an elder, and you must not forget the etiquette again. ”
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly responded.
The Niu clan was urging their grandparents outside. Qin Bai told his granddaughter more: "You don't have to tell your grandmother about these things, and it will save her from worrying." ”
Qin Hanzhen answered, and helped him out, and the family of three sat down to eat.
Because Niu didn't see Qin Youyi bring Su Zhongying in for dinner, he asked Qin Bai: "Why don't you see our aunt and grandmother and Su's son-in-law? Su's brother-in-law also came, didn't I? I specially asked the kitchen to prepare more good dishes and wine, why didn't I see them come in?"
Qin Bai told her: "The son of the Su family went home first. Zhong Ying just followed me into the palace, and he was a little tired, and the clothes on his body were still wet with dew. Youyi was worried that he would catch a cold, so she asked him to take a bath and change clothes in the front room. I'm afraid that they have a lot to say, so you can let them go, and let them bring them dinner, so you don't have to call someone over. ”
Niu Shi was puzzled: "Why is Su's son-in-law still in our house, but his brother has gone home instead?" In fact, she has always been a little puzzled in her heart, "What are you entering the palace for today?" mysteriously, and you won't tell me anything clearly. ”
Qin Bai said: "You don't understand the affairs of the army, why do you have to say it too clearly? Su Zizi and his brothers have the heart to make a statement to the emperor, and it is not very convenient, for fear that they will dislike the Marquis of Zhenxi, so they will ask for me." Now things are going well, but it's not good to say to outsiders, and you shouldn't mention it to others. ”
Niu Shi didn't ask any more: "What do I know? How can I mention these things to others? Then he instructed Mama Tiger to take someone to the guest room to deliver food.
When Mama Hu came back, Qin Hanzhen's family of three had already finished dinner and was removing the table. Qin Bai called his granddaughter over, and while walking around the veranda of the courtyard, the grandparents and grandson whispered how much truth Qin Hanzhen knew. Mama Hu whispered to Niu's in the house: "The food has been delivered." My aunt said thank you for Mrs. for her thoughtful greeting, and said that she would accompany Aunt Su to live in the guest room, and that the East Mansion would send their couple's change of clothes and bedding over in a while, and asked the people guarding the east side of our house to pay attention. ”
Niu was surprised: "Youyi is going to live in our house with her husband? What did you say? Won't she go back to her mother-in-law's house? Her son is still there, right? Besides, the long house is her mother's house, and she wants to stay in her mother's house, and there is no reason to live in our house." ”
Mama Hu couldn't figure it out: "The old man of our family specially ordered someone to clean up the guest room, saying that the Hou Ye wanted to stay at home for one night, for what reason, even our old man couldn't understand." ”
"Did the Hou Ye order?" Niu confirmed this, but did not ask any further. Anyway, her husband Qin Bai has his reasons for what she does, she just needs to follow his words and act, and she doesn't have to think too much.
Qin Hanzhen walked around with his grandfather, and confessed to him all the situations that he could confess. Qin Bai didn't expect his granddaughter to discover the conspiracy of King Ninghua, King Shu and others earlier than himself, and couldn't help but feel emotional. He said to Qin Hanzhen: "In the future, if Guanglu finds out anything important with you, or what news he tells you, you can tell your grandfather without worrying." Although your grandfather always taught you a few words, he never really stopped you from doing anything. Grandfather believes that you are a good boy who knows how to measure, and you should also believe that grandfather is. ”
Qin Hanzhen felt more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly agreed that he would not hide anything from his grandfather casually in the future.
After she returned to her yard, Feng'er took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and whispered to her: "The prince of the county sent Ah Shou to send a letter to the girl, indicating that the son would come to the house to see the girl." As he spoke, he stuffed the letter to Qin Hanzhen.
Qin Hanzhen didn't care about reading the letter, so she asked Feng'er first: "Is Ah Shou still waiting outside?, or has he already left?" Knowing that Ah Shou had left, she was still a little sorry. She wanted to send a message to Zhao Mo and ask him to be careful when he came over tomorrow. Grandfather now knows that he has secretly reported to him, and if he bumps into him tomorrow, he will definitely talk about him. If he had a mental preparation, he would have been able to think of a reason for his justification in advance, so as not to be scolded in vain.
She lowered her head and opened the letter, and found that the letter written by Zhao Mo could only be regarded as a note, the content was very concise, probably saying that he had broken the appointment today, he felt deeply guilty, and he would definitely come to compensate tomorrow, and said the approximate time when he would come. I don't know if it's Qin Han's real illusion or what, she always feels that the handwriting on Zhao Mo's note is a little different from what he usually writes. But since it was sent by Ah Shou, it can't be someone else's forged handwriting. Qin Hanzhen felt a little bored in his heart.
She wanted to put the note away like this, but suddenly she smelled something, so she put the note under her nose, sniffed it carefully, and found that it was the smell of wine. Just such a simple note, it can even be contaminated with the smell of alcohol, could it be that Zhao Mo is drunk?
Qin Hanzhen frowned and asked Feng'er: "Ah Shouke said, what did the prince of their county do when he went out with Cai Shizi and them today?
Feng'er nodded: "Ah Shou said yes, and complained that Cai Shizi's alcohol was too good, and he didn't drink lightly the prince of the county." I heard that the eldest young master of Dongfu didn't drink less, and as soon as he got home, he lay down, and he didn't even bother to freshen up. ”
Qin Hanzhen snorted: "Cai Shizi is not much older than others, a group of young people run to the restaurant in broad daylight to get drunk, and they are too depraved, so they are not afraid to let the temperament of Geng Jie's imperial history see it, and if they want to join them, attack their father and family by the way, won't they teach their son?"
She put the note away, planning to rush to Zhao Mo's door early tomorrow morning, go to the front yard to block him, remind him to be careful of Qin Bai's questioning, and persuade him to drink less in the future.
Who knew that she had breakfast the next morning, and when she ran to the front yard to wait for Zhao Mo to come, before she could wait for Zhao Mo, she first waited for an urgent letter sent by Su Boxiong, the prince of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi, to her younger brother Su Zhongying and younger sister Qin Youyi.
Zhenxihou suffered a stroke in the early hours of the morning and is now unconscious. Su Boxiong has already invited the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, and the situation may not be ideal.
Su Zhongying was taken aback: "How could this be?!" I wonder if my father heard about their brother's actions and was so angry that he had a stroke? He hurriedly urged his wife: "Let's go back and take a look, the family must have been in chaos!"
Qin Youyi immediately responded, turned her head to clean up her things, a trace of complexity flashed on her face, and she couldn't help but glance back at her husband with a weak heart, before biting her lip and continuing her movements.
