Chapter Ninety-Eight: Afternoon

When Qin Hanzhen returned to Mingyuewu, his eyelids were already sleepy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info full of food and drink, and there is nothing to worry about, the mood is relaxed and happy, and the sleepiness can not be suppressed.

She yawned all the way into the yard. Maybe it's nap time, and the mother-in-law and the little girls have already rested, except for the two Qin Jinhua's girls under the corridor who are bowing their heads to do needlework, and by the way, the yard is quiet.

Qin Hanzhen entered the house, and Xia Qing had already greeted her: "The girl is back, she must be sleepy, right? Waiting for Qin Hanzhen to change her shoes, change into homely clothes, and untie her hair.

Qin Hanzhen was in a daze and saw that she was the only one in the room, and she was puzzled: "What is Qingxing doing?"

Xia Qing asked her instead: "Didn't she follow the girl to the Qingfeng Pavilion?" ”

Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened: "Huh?" "How is it possible?" She told Qing Xing when she got out of school, and asked Qing Xing to take her schoolbag back to Mingyuewu, so that she didn't have to go to Qingfeng Pavilion with her. There are so many people in the boat hall where classes are held, and there are servants who take care of flowers and trees in the garden, so in the Chengenhou Mansion, Qingxing will not be lost, right?

Qin Hanzhen was a little more energetic, and hurriedly sat up: "Hurry up and ask someone to look in the garden, ask the mother-in-law guarding the door, and see if they have seen Qingxing." ”

Xia Qing responded, and said with a smile: "That girl must have been tripped up by something, don't worry, girl, let's rest first." When you wake up, she'll be back. ”

Qin Hanzhen said solemnly: "When can't I take a nap?" You better quickly ask someone to find it, otherwise I won't be able to rest in peace." ”

As he was talking, the curtain was lifted outside, but it was Qingxing who came back.

Qin Hanzhen was relieved when he saw her come in. Xia Qing hurriedly asked: "Where have you been?" I haven't come back for half a day, the girl just came home, sleepy like something, when I heard that you haven't come back yet, I thought you were lost, so anxious that I didn't even want to sleep, and asked me to find you." ”

Qingxing lowered her head and smiled a little unnaturally: "I'm worried about the girl and sister, I'm fine." Mr. Zeng had a few books to give to the girl, and asked me to go over and get them, and it happened to be the time of the meal, and Mr. Zeng gave the food, so I was delayed until now, I am really sorry. ”

Xia Qing said angrily: "I see, then you should also send someone back to say something, even if it is someone around the second girl." ”

Qingxing lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, and then took the square package in her hand to Qin Hanzhen to see: "Girl, these are the books that Mr. Zeng gave to the girl, and he said that he would return them when the girl finished reading them." ”

"Got it, you can put it in the study. Qin Hanzhen looked at Qingxing and said with a smile, "It scared me just now." It's also that I'm thinking too much, can you still lose it in the Hou Mansion?"

Qing Xing smiled and put the book in the study, and then sorted out Qin Hanzhen's schoolbag before returning to the bedroom. Seeing that Qin Hanzhen was already lying on the bed, drowsy, she leaned over and whispered, "Girl, I followed Mr. Zeng to the courtyard where she lived, which was in the back street of Houfu, not far from the back door." I heard Mr. Zeng's girl say that if the girls in the long room encountered any difficulties in their homework, they would write a letter and send the girl to Mr. Zeng. Mr. Zeng either replied by letter or came to the house in person to give advice, and he was very easy to speak. She has been to Mingyuewu several times to instruct the second girl. In addition, he occasionally stayed in the ship's hall to teach the eldest girl the piano. I think that the girl only studied with her, and if she encountered something she did not understand, she could also send her a letter. ”

Qin Hanzhen responded groggyly: "That's too much toss...... I can ask my grandfather to go, she doesn't have to work so hard. If there is a problem, just ask it in class......"

Qingxing smiled and said, "Isn't it? Mr. Zeng is really not easy. She was such a nice person, I just went to get a few books, and she pulled me to ask me my name and age, where I was from, and what other relatives I had at home. Knowing that I had an older brother, two years older than me, she asked me where my brother was and what his name was. ”

Qin Hanzhen had already fallen asleep.

Xia Qing walked over cautiously, pulled Qingxing, and the two went outside, and the former spoke: "The girl wants to take a nap, what are you talking about by the bed? ”

Qingxing smiled: "It's just a reply, I finally received an envoy, there must be a beginning and an end." This time the girl fell asleep, did not listen carefully, and when she woke up, she had to ask. She paused and lowered her voice, "Sister, don't blame me for being verbose in front of the girl, it's really Mr. Zeng who is too strange, pulling me straight to inquire about my name and origin, and not even letting go of my brother's affairs." When I left, I quietly asked my husband's mother-in-law what was going on. I thought to myself, maybe Mr. Zeng knows my family, but I don't know. ”

Xia Qing laughed when she heard it: "Are you confused? What kind of person is Mr. Zeng? How can he recognize your family?"

Qingxing smiled: "If she doesn't know, how can she ask so many words? Speaking of which, our family used to live in the capital, and my family business was quite prosperous when I was a child, but unfortunately it fell later, and I am so downtrodden that I am now a girl." I don't know what kind of family background this Mr. Zeng is from the capital? Maybe our two families had a friendship in the early years. ”

Xia Qing said: "How is this possible? Mr. Zeng's family is not a small family, her family has been scholarly for generations, and there are officials in the family for several generations. Her father was Tang Shangshu's classmate and friend before his death, but unfortunately he went early. Even so, the Tang Zeng family also had their own friendship, otherwise how could the crown princess and the princess find a piano and chess teacher back then, and how could they have invited her? Even now, Mr. Zeng is sitting in our house, and the Tang family often sends his mother-in-law to see her, and there is a festival every New Year's Day, and it has never been broken. ”

This is the rule of the high-ranking family to the ordinary doormen and subordinate families, which shows that the friendship between Mr. Zeng and the Tang family is not deep. Qingxing knew it in her heart, and she probably guessed the relationship between Mr. Zeng and the Tang family, and she also understood why she was suspicious when she saw her face.

Qingxing smiled and said to Xia Qing: "That's strange, could it be that I met Mr. Zeng's eyes?"

Qin Hanzhen woke up and felt refreshed. When I asked the time, I realized that I had only slept for an hour, which was just right. She got up and called for someone to come and wash herself. The afternoon is long, so she plans to review the lessons she learned this morning, do her homework, and then practice her words for a while.

Entering the study and seeing Qingxing, Qin Hanzhen suddenly remembered what she seemed to have said to herself before going to bed, and hurriedly asked, "Qingxing, what did you tell me before?" ”

Qing Xing smiled and simply repeated the previous words, and there were many fewer details. Qin Hanzhen didn't doubt it, nodded to indicate that he knew, and began to read.

She had just finished reviewing today's lesson, and before she could start doing her homework, Qin Jinhua ran in: "Third sister, what are you busy with?" Seeing that she was actually doing her homework, she smiled and said, "Third sister is really diligent, I still want to invite you to take a walk around the garden." Since you have to do your homework, I can't bother it. ”

Shuxia came in after Qin Jinhua, holding a large flat box in his hand, and handed it to Qingxing: "This is for our girl to send the third girl." Qing Xing was taken aback and looked at Qin Hanzhen.

Qin Hanzhen looked at Qin Jinhua suspiciously, and Qin Jinhua said, "This is the piano I used before." I have a new one now, and I don't need it anymore. Ming'er is going to take piano lessons, and my sister doesn't have a piano yet, right? ”

Qin Hanzhen remembered it at this time. She originally planned to ask her grandfather Qin Bai for help when she went to Qingfeng Pavilion, but because of Zhao Mo's matter, she couldn't remember it at all. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the second sister, but I really don't need to." My grandfather mentioned that he had a piano that he used when he was a child, and he could make it for me. The second sister should take this piano back. ”

Qin Jinhua said: "The piano that the third uncle used when he was a child, can he still use it now? Is it stored in the C-shaped library? Tomorrow's class is coming, where can my sister have time? You don't have to be polite to me, I still have it. ”

The little girl had a kind intention, but Qin Hanzhen couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it, and thanked Qin Jinhua with a smile. Qin Jinhua smiled: "Our own sisters, what are you thanking for? He also said, "The third sister has never learned the piano before, right? Mr. Zeng must be in the boat hall at this time, why don't we go to her and ask her to teach you? Otherwise, when you go to class tomorrow, you will have to start learning from the piano, so how much effort will it take?"

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked, "How does the second sister know that Mr. Zeng is in the boat hall now?"

Qin Jinhua smiled: "Ming'er has piano lessons, and the eldest sister always likes to ask Mr. Zeng for guidance at this time." If they came to the courtyard, they would disturb others when they played the harp, so they would go to the boat hall. In two hours, the big sister will not let Mr. Zeng go. Let's go over at this time, just in time. ”

Qin Hanzhen hesitated: "Since the eldest sister is there to ask Mr. Zeng for piano skills, won't we disturb them when we go over?"

"How could it be?" Qin Jinhua looked innocent, "Big sister is studious, and we are also very diligent, so we will ask Mr. Zeng for advice." Not only will she not think that we are bothering her, but she will be happy to see us studying hard. ”

No, she was actually asking about her eldest sister Qin Jinyi.

Qin Hanzhen remembered that in the morning class, because she answered Mr. Zeng's question, behaved a little better, and was a little familiar with the content of the Analects, Qin Jinyi showed jealousy, but she desperately acted like she didn't care, and felt that she was still a little farther away from this lobby sister than her.

Qin Hanzhen politely rejected Qin Jinhua's proposal and planned to continue the original study plan. Qin Jinhua didn't force it, he talked with Qin Hanzhen for a while, and then went back to the house. She was moved by Qin Hanzhen's diligent performance, and planned to do her homework too, so that she would have time to play at night.

Just as the sisters were quietly studying with their hearts, a commotion broke the silence of the courtyard.

Huichun knelt at the foot of the front steps of the main house, her hair was messy, she was embarrassed, and she cried like a tearful person: "Girl, please save me! I have been waiting for the girl for so many years, and the girl should only save me for the sake of the past! I would rather be a sweeper for the girl than be thrown out!" )
