The three clansmen of the Qin family sat in Qin Bai's study for a long time very seriously, and then said goodbye and left, leaving no meal. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After Qin Bai sent them away, he went back to the main room to discuss things with his wife Niu. When Qin Hanzhen saw his grandfather and grandmother at the dinner table, he found that his grandmother was not in a good mood, as if she was sulking. She asked Niu what was wrong, but Niu glanced at Qin Bai, and then avoided talking about it, only saying that he didn't sleep well during his nap, so he was not in good spirits.

Qin Hanzhen lived in the same courtyard with them, and they both knew each other's schedules. She knew that Niu hadn't taken a nap at all at noon today, and was discussing things with Qin Bai. This so-called nap didn't sleep well, most of it is just an excuse. But what could her grandfather and grandmother do if they refused to tell the truth? Do she still have to ask in person?

Later, it was Mama Hu who told her: "The old lady has avoided discussing things, as if she can't leave to return to the capital in mid-March, and the old man has to stay in the clan and watch the clan study is done before leaving." Mrs. also understands how important the matter of clan studies is, but she is a little unhappy when she misses Brother Zi'er in her heart. It's nothing, Ming'er will be fine. When did my wife object to the master's decision?"

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the clan studies? Is there an accident? I remember that it has always been progressing well, that is, some time ago, the clansmen celebrated the New Year, and now the village is busy with farming, so it was delayed a little. ”

Mama Hu is not very clear in this regard, when Qin Bai was talking to Niu, she was not waiting in front of her, and she only heard the situation when Niu's complained afterwards.

Qin Hanzhen guessed that the clansmen must have come here for the sake of clan studies, but he didn't know what had happened. She told Qingxing to look for Li Zi to inquire, but before she could go down, Zhao Mo gave her an answer first.

Zhao Mo told her: "When I went to Qinzhuang to meet with your clan brothers a few days ago, I heard them complain a few words, maybe it was because of that incident, right? The second master of your Qin family's clan seemed to be sick in the first month, and the people knew that he had lost power, and they were all a little lazy, and the child ran to cry to the patriarch, and the patriarch gave birth to a little pity, and he was also angry that the subordinates watched the dishes of others, and even the eldest son and daughter-in-law who had just taken back the rights of the sect and the wife of the sect were reprimanded a few words. Later, I invited a doctor to come to see him, and finally cured the second master's illness, and the patriarch was worried about his future livelihood, thinking that the matter of clan studies was only half done, and he had always been helping with the cooking, so he handed over this matter to him again. ”

Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened: "Really?!" she thought and thought, and shook her head a little hesitantly, "Aunt Keliang doesn't seem to be a person who would make such a mistake. If Uncle Keyong was really sick, she would never have neglected him in terms of hiring doctors and subordinates to manage him. This kind of superficial kung fu can even be done by Aunt Keyong, let alone Aunt Keliang?" "Feng's temperament is much more atmospheric than Xiao Huang's.

Not to mention...... Qin Keliang and Xiao Huang's husband and wife deliberately framed Qin Keliang and Feng's family, right? After such a move, the patriarch believed it, and Qin Keliang and his wife got back their authority, and they were suspected of mistreating their younger brothers. also asked the child to cry, and the scheming was too deep!

Zhao Mo smiled lightly: "The people in the clan don't all believe in Second Master Qin and his wife, and many people privately think that they are pretending. Anyway, Second Master Qin is only responsible for preparing for the clan study, and this was also his messenger, and when the preparation of the clan study is completed, who will preside over it in the future have to wait for his uncle and grandfather to make the decision. However, looking at the appearance of the patriarch, it is not known whether he will really hand over the family science to the second son. Besides, the clan affairs are already in the hands of his eldest son, and the second son is not too embarrassed, and he is even more afraid that their brothers will fight each other and cause trouble. Handed over the affairs of clan studies to the second master of Qin, and their brothers had their own duties, and they would be safe. Your uncle who came to the door with two nephews today may have come here for this. ”

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized and said with a smile: "The patriarch is thinking about his two sons, and I hope that they can both live well." But is his idea a little wishful thinking? It's hard to say whether his sons appreciate it. If Uncle Ke Yong really used a bitter trick and deliberately pretended to be sick and sympathized, the patriarch's approach was undoubtedly to stab Uncle Keliang, but I was afraid that those who had no complaints would also have some complaints. ”

She thought for a moment: "I suspect that this is another drama that Aunt Keyong came up with." I haven't heard much about the Huang family recently, and I don't know what happened to Aunt Keyong and her mother's family?"

Zhao Mo said: "I heard some news in Qinzhuang, it seems that Qin's second grandmother improved her condition after the beginning of spring, and she ran to her mother's house a few times with her body, and she actually coaxed the Huang family to turn around a little." Your clan brothers have a private gossip, saying that the Huang family is planning to go to Beijing. Second Master Qin acted generously, and in the face of Second Grandma Qin, she paid for her mother's family's travel expenses to Beijing. It's a big expense, and I don't know if he paid out of his own pocket or scraped the money out of somewhere. ”

Qin Hanzhen snorted and laughed: "Needless to say, Uncle Keyong is in charge of the preparations for the study of the clan, and their husband and wife have a criminal record, and the clansmen privately criticize it, so they must suspect that he has done his old tricks again." ”

After laughing, she was also a little unhappy, thinking to herself how easily the patriarch could ask Qin Ke to coax back? Qin Keyong was not without money in his husband and wife, and he also had confidants around him, how could he just lose the right to represent the son of the sect, and he couldn't even ask for a doctor when he was sick? Feng would not embarrass them in this kind of matter, even if she was a clan wife, there was a mother-in-law staring at her head above. If it is out of grudge and neglect Xiao Huang, it is still possible. Attack Qin Ke, who was born to the patriarch and his wife? As a daughter-in-law, she would not make such a low-level mistake! This kind of trick with a strong atmosphere of house fighting must have been thought up by Xiao Huang! But it worked.

Qin Bai was very interested in the reconstruction of the clan study, and also ordered someone to inquire about the good gentleman in the Jinling area, and asked someone to buy books, and had the intention of building a library in the clan study, so that the children of the clan could study in the future and not have to worry about buying books. It's just that Qin Bai has been busy dealing with the prince's affairs recently, so he was a little negligent, and he didn't stare at the side of the clan study, but he didn't expect to ask someone to take advantage of the loophole. Qin Ke doesn't use anything else, but it is the most annoying to indulge his wife and make no distinction between severity. If the clan studies that Qin Bai valued fell into the hands of their husband and wife in the future, and they also did that self-enriching deed, wouldn't it ruin Qin Bai's intentions? !

Qin Hanzhen said to Zhao Mo: "No wonder my grandfather can't rest assured that he can't learn from the clan, if he changes me, he doesn't want to put the matter in the hands of Uncle Keyong." The patriarch has selfish intentions in this matter, and only my grandfather can suppress him. It's okay to go back to the capital later, in fact, my grandmother misses Brother Zi'er, and I am willing to stay in Jiangnan for a little longer. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "This is related to the private affairs of your Qin family's clan, no wonder your uncles and grandparents refuse to tell you more." But if my cousin wants to know, I'll inquire for you. I have a good relationship with your brothers now, and if I ask them anything, they will usually tell me. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "Thank you Cousin Zhao for your kindness, everything will be left to you." It's just that since you heard about it before, why didn't you tell me when you came back? ”

Zhao Mo touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "Although I have heard a few words of gossip, but these are all your Qin family's family affairs, how can I say a lot as a person with a foreign surname?" Besides, those are all rumors, there is no evidence." It is reasonable for you to sue from your family, but if it were me, what would it be?"

That's just as well. Qin Hanzhen didn't say anything more, but just persuaded Zhao Mo: "If there is gossip about this in the future, Cousin Zhao just tell me." I went to tell my grandfather that it was just that Li Zi had reported it after hearing about it, so there was no obstacle. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and nodded, hiding the truth that he was supporting Qin Hanzhen's clan brothers and asking them to persuade the elders to come to Qin Bai to complain.

After Qin Hanzhen heard the news, the focus was not quite the same as that of the patriarch and Qin Keyong's father and son, after Qin Bai got the news from the clansmen, he first sent his subordinates back to Qinzhuang to inquire, and learned that what the clansmen said was true, and Qin Keyong was indeed presiding over the preparations for the genealogy at the moment.

Because of his busy farming, he specially hired many idlers to work from nowhere, but he accelerated the project, and the purchase of books and stationery supplies was also done quickly. The quality is uncertain, but at least it's not a bargain that looks terrible, and it's certainly not a good quality. It was probably because he behaved fairly reliably, and the patriarch was deeply pleased, feeling that the second son had been confused in the past, but had only been influenced by the woman. Now that the second daughter-in-law is sick, she is honest, no longer meddles in things that shouldn't be managed, concentrates on teaching her husband and children at home, and reconcilies with her mother's family, so he is also angry with his second son, but he still doesn't care about his second daughter-in-law.

Although the patriarch did not say it explicitly, many clansmen said that listening to his tone of voice was like handing over the clan study to the second son. There are also many different opinions on this in the clan. Ethnology is indeed a piece of fat, and the errand is decent, and several rooms are staring at it. There are scholars in these rooms, and there are also children who have passed the college entrance examination the most, and they think that they are determined to be in charge of the clan study. Except that Qin Keyong is the son of the patriarch, where is he stronger than them? Naturally, everyone is not convinced. There will be people who come to Qin Bai to complain, and they may not be selfless behind it.

Qin Bai didn't have the kung fu to pay attention to the selfishness of his clansmen, he paid attention to the fact that Xiao Huang's family and his mother's family had been reconciled inexplicably, and he wanted to send his mother's family to the capital. He didn't care what the relationship between Xiao Huang's family and his mother's family was, but what did the Huang family do in Beijing? Qin Bai hadn't forgotten what kind of expectations Xiao Huang had for his niece, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly went to Huang Jincheng to ask.

Huang Jincheng has not paid attention to their news since he "turned against each other" with the Huang family, and after listening to Qin Bai's words, he was still a little inexplicable: "What can they do in the capital? However, he doesn't attach much importance to this matter, how much ability can Master Huang Liu's family have? Even if he goes to the capital, he can't become a climate.

His attention was on the latest news: "I sent me a secret letter from my old department in Tianjin, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage have arrived in Tianjin safely, and are ready to change to enter Beijing by water. The emperor also sent someone to greet him, pretending to be an important minister to travel under the banner of covering His Highness's whereabouts. It's just that there seem to be some people of unknown origin in Tianjin who are secretly operating in Tianjin recently, which makes my old department vigilant, so I said something in the letter, and said that those people seem to have a Sichuan and Shu accent. ”

Qin Bai quickly raised his head and glanced at him, his expression sank.
