Chapter 409: Perception
After shopping for a long time, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo finally moved to Qianweiju to rest.
This year, due to the large number of people traveling with them and a few children, they did not walk. Zhao Mo sent Ah Shou to bring people over in advance, and as soon as they got out of the temple fair, there was a car for them to sit in. Arrived at Qianweiju warmly all the way, didn't even need to walk through the gate of the restaurant, parked the car directly at the back door, and walked into the large yard with a special path, and did not meet half of the passers-by along the way, not even the male man of the restaurant. After entering the courtyard, the neatly dressed mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sent by the restaurant came forward to listen to the instructions.
Once in the courtyard, the group separated. Except for some of the guards of the county prince's mansion and the chief of the Cheng'en Hou Mansion and the Yongjia Hou Mansion who were guarding the gate of the courtyard and were responsible for filtering the people who entered the door, the girls and young masters all entered the main house, and the men and women sat in the east and west rooms, the guards occupied one room, and the subordinates occupied the other.
Qin Hanzhen pulled a few sisters on the warm kang, first asked everyone if they were tired and if they were unwell, and then went to shake Qin Hanzhu's hand, and saw that her palms were still warm, so she put her mind at ease and asked people to pour hot tea for everyone. Then she glanced at the east house again, and saw Zhao Mo, Qin Jian and others surrounding the floor-to-ceiling smoker to keep warm, and they were also talking and laughing, Zhao Qi and Qin Duan, the two children, moved freely and spoke as usual, so they were relieved.
But when Zhao Mo was close, he could see what she couldn't see clearly. He lowered his head and asked his younger brother, "Brother Qi, but the wind is blowing just now?" Why do I think you don't look very good, and you don't look like you're in any energy?"
Zhao Qi's face turned pale, and he reluctantly squeezed out a smile when he heard this: "I'm fine, maybe it's ...... It's a little hungry. He couldn't say that he was tired, because he was carried by Ah Xing, and he didn't walk much at all. It can't be said that he is uncomfortable, so my brother may have to send someone to send him back to the other courtyard. He would meet those people on the road when he was kicked out of the house by his father on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and he was sent back to the other courtyard by his subordinates. He will never give those people a moment of emptiness today.
Zhao Mo stared at his younger brother a few times, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he only instructed the mother-in-law of the restaurant: "Hurry up and serve the food, it is all ordered in advance, and it will be served hot." If you're looking for a snack, start with a few plates. The mother-in-law hurriedly answered, and after a while, four fruit plates and four snack dishes were served, and there were all on the seats in the east and west rooms. The dishes had to be leaned back a little, but Zhao Mo also asked someone to order the pot, but it could be delivered first.
Seeing this, Zhao Qi could only sit down obediently and eat snacks. Zhao Mo asked someone to scoop hot soup for him again, and he could only drink it correctly, for fear that his brother would see that something was wrong.
His biological mother Lan Xue was rejected by her father, resented by her brother, and arrested by the people of the court because of her collusion with those people, and now she is even dead. Although he is young and ignorant, he also knows that those people can't touch it. If my brother knew that he had been in contact with those people, I don't know how he would blame him......
The food soon came up, and a group of boys and girls divided the two seats and had a lively lunch. Originally, according to the rules, between the two sides of the table, there was a screen to make a partition, but most of them were descendants of the Qin family, their own brothers and sisters, even if there was a Lu Chuliang here, it was also a cousin who often came and went, and there was nothing to avoid, Zhao Mo and Tang Han were engaged to the Qin family girl, and there was no obstacle to seeing their fiancée in front of everyone. Cai Qiqi, the only real outsider, is also the in-law of the Lu family and the Qin family, and because of Zhao Mo and Qin Jian's little selfishness, they didn't mention anything at all, and only treated him as a good person. As for the small ones, there is nothing to say. So the two sides of the table dined together, during which Qin Duan was still young, and ran to the sisters' table to ask for delicious food, and no one stopped him. Zhao Mo even ordered his younger brother Zhao Qi to run errands and sent a small plate of her favorite dishes to his fiancée Qin Hanzhen, which provoked Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun to joke about Qin Hanzhen.
Feng'er and the other girls had eaten in the side room, and they also rushed to the main house to wait. The same is true of the little servants who followed the young masters, who were ordered to buy back the things that were not bought in advance and handed them over to everyone, and the room was full of laughter. However, the little servants did not dare to stay in the house for a long time because of the presence of the girls, and quickly withdrew. They are much more careful than the girls, not only do they dare not look up at the young ladies, but even the big sisters who go back and forth can't collide.
According to the practice of previous years, the group of them had eaten and rested in Qianwei Ju for a while before going home. After walking for half a day, everyone was very tired. Qin Jian and Zhao Mo discussed, they also planned to do so, and by the way, they could take advantage of everyone's rest, so that Tang Han and Qin Jinhua could say a few words in private. It would be better if I could get another chance to ask Cai Qiqi and Qin Jinchun to look at each other. Who knew that before they finished their lunch, Yao sent his mother-in-law from home to carry a letter: "The lord and wife of the in-laws came to the house, and when they saw that the brothers and sisters were not there, I felt a pity in my heart." The second grandmother said, let the brother and sister go back early. ”
Qin Jian knew that his maternal grandparents were actually common with their brothers and sisters, although they didn't come to Chengenhou's Mansion very often, but he and his sister Qin Jinhua often went back to their parents' house with their mother to visit relatives, not to mention that he used to study at Yao's family, and he was very close to his cousins, and often had lunch in front of his maternal grandparents. When my grandparents come to the house to pay New Year's greetings, they may feel sorry if they don't see their siblings, but they don't think it matters. Their brother and sister went back after a while, and they were still able to see the second elder. Mother Yao's special sent someone to urge their brother and sister to go back, but I was afraid that the drunkard would not be in the bar? In the final analysis, they were still dissatisfied with the Tang family's family business. But Qin Jian couldn't dismantle his mother's platform in front of Tang Han, let alone leave a bad impression on Tang Han and affect his sister's happiness in the future, so he could only apologize to Tang Han and others for the reasons provided by his mother.
Tang Han didn't find anything wrong, it was normal for the elders to come to the house and want to see their grandchildren. He was able to come out to accompany his fiancée for half a day today, and he also had a meal together, which was already a blessing from his father-in-law. His fiancée is gentle and kind, and she is a virtuous and reasonable woman, and he is very satisfied. Qin Jian apologized to him, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and advised Qin Jian to leave early, not to make the elders wait for a long time, and instructed his subordinates to prepare to leave, he had to send his brother-in-law and fiancée home again, so that he could feel at ease.
Seeing this, Qin Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but complain a little about her mother Yao. Such a good son-in-law, what else is she picky? How can there be so many young talents like Zhao Mo in the world to choose from? What's more, Zhao Mo has not been without a time of despair. The third uncle and the third sister did good things that day, and now they have to be rewarded. My mother didn't show kindness to others at the beginning, but now she complains that others have good luck, but her own daughter can't take the turn of her son-in-law, who can blame her? Compared with others in everything, how can she live her life? Besides, for her sister Qin Jinhua, the Tang family's family business is already very good. Even if it is slightly worse than Zhao Mo, the county king, why doesn't her mother compare her sister with Qin Jinyi and Qin Jinchun's husbands?
The people of the Chengenhou Mansion have to go first, and the people of the Yongjiahou Mansion are naturally not easy to break away from the large army. Qin Hanzhen looked at Qin Hanzhu and felt that she was tired after walking for a long time, and then looked back at Zhao Mo's meaning, and saw that although he was a little reluctant on his face, he also looked at the face of his younger brother Zhao Qi attentively, and his expression was shaken, so he made the decision for Zhao Mo: "Let's go back too." It's cold, and after shopping for half a day, it's almost over. If you go shopping again in the afternoon, you will definitely wake up tomorrow with sore legs and feet, and then it will be uncomfortable. Anyway, I bought the things I should have bought, and I just had time to go shopping in the future. ”
Zhao Mo was also relieved when he heard this: "That's right." Brother Qi'er's complexion is not good, he has only recovered from his illness in the end, and staying outside for too long is not good for his health. He felt that Zhao Qi was unwilling to tell the truth to himself because he was greedy for fun, if he was really fine, it was impossible to eat and drink enough, and his face would still not be ruddy. He looked up at Qin Hanzhen and smiled gently: "The weather will be warmer another day, I'll accompany my cousin out for a walk." "Just the two of them!
Qin Hanzhen didn't need him to say it explicitly, he could guess the meaning of his words, pursed his lips and smiled, and his face was already red.
Feng'er went to pack up her things with a very good look, and commanded Xiaoqin and Xiaoqi to wait for Qin Hanzhu, and took care of Qin Jinchun by the way.
The group went out to get into the car, but Zhao Qi still let Ah Xing hold him. There was a faint relaxed smile on his face, and it wasn't until he got into the carriage in front of the back door of Qianwei Ju that he accidentally saw a passing figure, and his face instantly changed color, and before Ah Xing lifted the curtain, he got into the carriage by himself. Qin Duan was still muttering in the back: "Cousin Zhao, what are you anxious about? Be careful not to hit your head." Ah Xing hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked into the carriage a few times, and saw Zhao Qi sitting upright, but his face was ugly, and he wondered if it was the little master who was blowing the wind? When Qin Duan also sat down in the car, he hurriedly lowered the curtain, sealed it tightly, and quickly asked the guy from Qianweiju for a few pieces of burning charcoal, put it in the hand stove, and stuffed it into Zhao Qi in the car.
The group returned to Qin's house and each went back to each courtyard, Qin Jinchun followed Qin Jinhua to Dongfu, saying that she would stay in Dongfu for one night, and Ming'er's family would send someone to pick her up. Zhao Mo was worried about his younger brother's condition, although he really wanted to stay in the Yongjiahou Mansion for a while, he officially took his leave after seeing Qin Bai, Niu's, Qin Ping and Qin An. Qin Hanzhen sent their brothers out, and instructed Zhao Mo: "Go back and burn the brazier and kang in the house, and then bring hot water for Brother Qi to soak his hands and feet, let him drink a bowl of ginger soup and sleep well." If Ming'er is not good, you must ask a doctor to come to the door, don't be negligent. ”
Zhao Mo turned around and squeezed her hand: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
When Zhao Mo returned home, he really watched Zhao Qi soak his feet, drink ginger soup, and fall asleep before leaving. Zhao Qi said repeatedly: "Brother, I'm really not sick. Zhao Mo just didn't believe it: "Okay, don't be verbose, just be obedient." When did I want to go out and play? I shouldn't have brought you with me today. If the condition worsens, wouldn't it be my sin?" he instructed the girls to take care of Zhao Qi before returning to his yard.
Zhao Mo simply freshened up, changed into homely clothes, sat at the table and thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong. He called Ah Xing over: "Brother Qi'er changed his face several times today, what is the reason? Although he has only been sick once, I have touched his palm just now, although there is some cold sweat, his body is not hot, it does not seem to be a cold, but like he is frightened." He has obviously been acting with us, he has never been alone at all, and he has not seen any outsiders who should not be seen, how did he be frightened?"
