A large wave of relatives is about to arrive in Jingcheng, Qin Han really thinks about it, and has some small expectations.

The eldest aunt Qin Youzhen has two sons and one daughter, the eldest daughter is seventeen years old, the eldest son is fifteen, and the second son is thirteen, which is exactly the same age as Qin Hanzhen. She heard that her eldest cousin Yue Niang has not yet married, and she doesn't know if she is married, and this time she will enter Beijing, it is estimated that she will solve the marriage problem, right? When the Qin family, the Xu family, the Lu family, and the Min family - the eldest cousin of the Su family is only ten years old, and he is too young to count - this group of cousins and sisters gathered together, among which there are many handsome and talented young men and gentle and beautiful girls, and I don't know how many stories will be born.

Qin Jinhua was looking forward to the excitement of everyone laughing and playing together, but Qin Hanzhen could already foresee that there would be countless bloody gossip born.

Qin Jian had a sumptuous lunch at the Yongjiahou Mansion, and then returned to the Chengenhou Mansion with good news. Qin Hanzhen sent him out of the garden gate, and then turned back to his yard to eat. The school has stopped, and she will have more free time in the future. Winter is cold, and it is not easy to do outdoor activities. On the side of the farm on the outskirts of Beijing, except for a few simple greenhouses that are still operating, only a few plots of land planted with cold-resistant crops are still managed, and the rest of the planting experiments have been stopped. These things are not too much, but too little, how to arrange the time, she has to make a good plan.

Maybe I'll have to talk to someone in Suning about it.

Qin Hanzhen thought about it a little reluctantly, he had already pulled a piece of paper in his hand, and asked the girl to heat the water for the warm inkstone, so he wanted to remember this matter and quickly write the letter to someone first.

On the other hand, when Qin Jian returned home, because the lunch time had passed, he thought that everyone had gone back to the courtyard to rest, and he only wanted to go to Songfeng Hall to meet his grandmother and explain the harvest of the trip to Xifu, and the specific things would have to wait until the afternoon. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the main house of Songfeng Hall, he was startled by a large group of black crows in the house. It turned out that everyone stayed after eating, and never left, just to wait for his letter.

Even his own brothers and sisters, because they had to talk to the cousins of the Su family, who were rarely able to come to the door, did not go back to their respective yards.

Qin Jian couldn't help but feel a little nervous in the face of everyone's blazing eyes.

Yao smiled and stepped forward to take off the cloak for the eldest son, handed it to Yahuan, and patted Qin Jian on the place where there were still snow drops: "Good boy, the snow is so heavy outside, it's hard this way, there is no wind, right?"

Qin Jian is also a young man who will turn eighteen years old, and he can't help but blush with shyness.

Xu Shi smiled: "Quickly let Brother Jian come and sit down." It's a cold day, and it's not easy. Brother Jane can send your third sister back?"

I have eaten lunch, so naturally I have already sent people back safely. Qin Jian said: "My grandson and my third sister are fine all the way. The third uncle and grandmother insisted that the grandson stay there for dinner, and the third uncle and grandfather had something to order, so the grandson came back late. ”

The big girls of Songfeng Hall sent hand stoves and foot stoves one after another, waiting for Qin Jian to use, and the girls around Yao's side sent hot tea and snacks to help digestion after meals, Yulan also asked Qin Jian diligently, do you want to change the clothes on your body first? After all, she just came back from outside, even if she was covered by a cloak, the cuffs and hems of her clothes were inevitably stained with snow droplets.

Qin Jian naturally refused one by one, still wondering in his heart. Grandmother and little aunt are anxiously waiting for him to reply, why are the girls still so busy around him, don't you see the anxious appearance of the little aunt who repeatedly wants to speak but can't?

But I didn't know that Yao's saw that the fire was almost over, which was enough to reflect the hard work of his son, and if it dragged on, the mother-in-law was afraid that she would be angry, so she pushed the girl back and let the juniors stay in the pavilion, leaving only the mother-in-law, the concubine, herself and the sister-in-law to surround the son. Only then did she speak: "Your little aunt is in a hurry, tell us quickly, what did your third uncle say?"

Qin Jian glanced at her mother helplessly, and only then did she tell her experience in Xifu. Qin Youyi was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "Really, the third uncle really agreed?!"

Qin Jian said: "The third uncle said that he would treat this matter as gossip among relatives and mention it to the emperor, but what would the emperor do, he wouldn't dare to pack the ticket." However, there is no war in the southwest now, and the emperor has always been sympathetic to the old ministers, so he is expected to readily agree to summon the Marquis of Zhenxi back to Beijing, right? As for General Xiao Su, it depends on whether someone in the Su family army can exercise the great task of leading the army on his behalf. Someone will do it for him, and it will not be difficult for him to return to Beijing. It's just that the matter of the little uncle's release is a little troublesome. The third uncle felt that as long as the little aunt and uncle were released, there was no need to force them to go to the Su family army, and find another place, which was the same. He asked me to come back and ask my little aunt and uncle what they meant, and said that if you agreed, he would go into the palace and tell the emperor. ”

Qin Youyi pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then resolutely said: "As long as you are released, you can do it anywhere! The two children can't stay at home anymore!" But after speaking, her tone softened again, "But ...... If you can go to a better place, the children will suffer less......"

This is not something that Qin Jian can manage. He smiled: "I'll reply to the third uncle in a while." The little aunt doesn't have to worry too much, if Chengping is today, it is the same wherever she holds a military position. Besides, the little uncle is the son of the Marquis of Zhenxi, and his rank is not low, who can really let him blow the wind and eat sand? The people in the military department have their own plans. ”

At this point, his task was basically over, and he said goodbye to the elders and ran to the warm pavilion to talk to the younger siblings. Several children were a little drowsy, but they didn't have much interest in laughing. Qin Jian whispered to the girls of Songfeng Hall, and asked them to persuade or hug their younger siblings one by one, and arrange them to rest in various places such as the big kang, the warm pavilion, and the long couch. The main house of Songfutang is big enough, so it's okay for everyone to gather together for a nap.

Outside, Qin Youyi was a little apprehensive in her heart, but she was still quite happy. Before she returned to her parents' home, she actually didn't think that she could successfully fulfill her three wishes. Who knew that her third uncle, who had been away from home for many years, was so capable, and he thought about it all for her.

Xu also said to her: "Your third uncle has thought so carefully and effortlessly for you, you must remember your third uncle's grace in the future, even your children, you can't forget it." It's just that this matter has not yet been decided, and it involves military affairs, so you better keep quiet, hide it from your mother-in-law, and don't tell her anything. lest she spread the word in a daze, your third uncle will help you kindly, but it will cause gossip from outsiders. Our family is a relative, and your third uncle is now a saint and a long, and he often goes to the palace. If those imperial histories are targeted, it will be difficult to live a quiet life. ”

Qin Youyi hurriedly said: "Mother don't worry, my daughter knows it." The father-in-law's return to Beijing is over, and the matter of the eldest uncle is not easy to publicize. As for the release of the father-in-law, it was the selfishness of our husband and wife, and the mother-in-law didn't know about it. How could I tell her about it? When the decree comes down in the future, my mother-in-law will only think that it is the will of the gods, so that she will not blame us for being the juniors. ”

Xu Shi nodded, and lowered his voice again: "Don't just wait for the news, just write to your concubine in private, and then let Zhongying write a letter to his eldest brother, so as to persuade them all to return to the capital." When the time comes, your mother-in-law will be busy staring at the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and she will naturally relax a lot for you and your wife. You only said that you should let your mother-in-law concentrate on conditioning your sister-in-law's body and watching other people's houses for your granddaughter, and it will save her from having the leisure to detain your son and prevent them from going out with you. However, there is one thing you should keep in mind, and that is that before you go to work, you must take care of the health of the whole family and never let anyone get sick. Otherwise, if your in-laws are unwell, you will not be able to go out, if your grandchildren are unwell, you will not be able to take them to work, and if your concubines are unwell, you will have to stay at home and serve your mother-in-law. Either way, it's enough to ruin your calculations. Therefore, never leave any excuses for your mother-in-law so that you can have your way. ”

Qin Youyi nodded solemnly: "Mother Xie reminds her that her daughter will definitely keep it in mind!"

After finishing the matter, Xu Shi was also a little sleepy, and went into the west to rest on his own. Yao, Min and Qin Youyi went into the warm pavilion to look at their children, and saw that they were all dozing off groggyly, and they couldn't bear to wake them up. It's cold outside, so why bother letting them brave the cold wind to go back to the yard again? Anyway, in my grandmother's place, there are a bunch of girls and mothers-in-law, and there will be no mistakes. The Min family stayed to take care of the children, only the eldest son Qin Shun, because he was older, was woken up by her, and called back to his own yard to take a nap, and the others did not move. The Yao family's concubine, Qin Su, is not here at all, so there is no need to worry about it. She whispered hello to Qin Youyi, and was about to take her sister-in-law back to Sheng Yiju, where she lived, to talk.

Qin Youyi is actually not close to her eldest sister-in-law, but she is in a good mood today, and her eldest nephew born to her eldest sister-in-law has made great efforts, and she is also willing to give her eldest sister-in-law face, so she smiled and accompanied Yao's back to Shengyiju.

Shengyi is also warm and fragrant. Yao's and Qin Youyi's chatted about some homely gossip, such as Qin Song and Xu's daily trivialities, and also let the sister-in-law know about her parents' situation to comfort her relatives. Qin Youyi guessed her kindness, so she also listened with a smile.

After a while, Yao mentioned the eldest sister Qin Youzhen, who was about to return to Beijing: "When their family came to the capital, the Lu family's house has been empty for more than ten years, where can people live? The yard is still empty, and someone is in charge of taking care of it. You only need to add some household items, and you can live directly in people, and it is not troublesome. There is also a side door on the side of Fuguiyuan that can lead to Qingyun Lane, and you can go directly to the southeast corner door to exit the house. The eldest sister's family lives in, close to Aunt Fu and Aunt Zhang, and it is cheap to enter and exit. What do you think?"

Qin Youyi nodded: "That's fine." The eldest sister was originally a person in the second room, and she should live in Fuguiju. She paused, "Such a big event, is there no movement in the second room?"

No matter how close Qin Youzhen is to Changfang, she is also the daughter of the second room. Now that the second room of the long house has been separated, Qin Youzhen entered Beijing with her husband, but she did not live in the second room and lived in the long room, which is not very compliant. Outsiders don't know that she is a mean concubine in the second room, so they are afraid that they will misunderstand Qin Youzhen, saying that she tends to be inflammatory, and only cares about the noble uncle's family, but leaves her own relatives aside.
