Chapter 20: Reward
Yao hurriedly returned to the Shengyi residence where he lived, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw his husband Qin Zhonghai sitting in the hugging building reading a book, so he immediately walked over quickly: "I have something to tell you, you come into the house quickly." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Qin Zhonghai was puzzled, but he still put down the book, ordered the little girl who was with him to read the book that no one was allowed to touch, and followed his wife into the house.
Yao sent all the people in the house out, and ordered the henchman Yulan to stay outside the door, before he sat down and said to Qin Zhonghai: "Just now, I went to Madame's place to report back to the third uncle and third aunt about the people we sent to wait and the antiques in the Qingfeng Pavilion." Madame told me to ignore it, and handed me the key and list of the C-number warehouse, and asked me to send it to the third uncle and third aunt, saying that it was the stuff of the third room. What the hell is going to do about that?!"
Qin Zhonghai was stunned: "What's so difficult about this? Since my mother has ordered, you just do it." ”
Yao was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Why aren't you in a hurry at all? There are so many good things in the C-shaped warehouse, and those antique calligraphy and paintings are not common goods outside! Don't coax me, saying that they are all the third uncle's." I know that when the third uncle was at home, he was also a pampered son-in-law, and there were some good things in his hands, but later the family copied them, how many of those things could be preserved? Even if the government returned them, they were less than half of the original. If it's all these things, and return them to the third uncle, that's right. However, the lady always sent some of the objects given by the palace every year into the C-number treasury. Those things aren't the things of the third uncle, right? How could the lady casually give the entire items of the C-shaped warehouse to the third room?!"
Qin Zhonghai looked at his wife's anxious appearance, and thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to something in the warehouse of No. C, and you are reluctant to give it to the third room?"
Yao's eyes glared angrily: "What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Don't underestimate people, although our Wang family is not as rich as your Qin family, we are not small families who have never seen the world, do I still lack a few antiques? Those things that are horizontal and vertical are your Qin family, what do I have to worry about? Isn't it all for you and the two children?!"
She's really angry. The things in the library, although every year the mother-in-law Xu said that they could not be moved, and could only be sent into the warehouse with a seal, but they never said that they were the objects of the third room. Yao's heart knows that the Chengenhou Mansion has a large population, different thoughts, and has always been used to being lavish, if good things are let go, maybe one day they will be ruined, and future generations can only sit and eat empty. She thought that her mother-in-law wanted to save some more good things for future generations, or to guard against the second room, so she deducted a batch of property every year and locked it in the C-shaped library.
Qin Zhonghai is the eldest son of Qin Song, the Marquis of Chengen, although he has not yet asked for the title of prince, but this family will definitely be inherited by him in the future. The things in the C-word library will naturally fall into the hands of Yao's future mother. She didn't think about taking all the items in it for herself, it was just the Qin family's things, so she should naturally give them to the Qin family's children and grandchildren. There are some good things, she has already allocated a place in her mind, her son must be indispensable, and her daughter will marry in the future, and she will also need a few things to press the bottom of the box. As a result, now that they are all in the third room, her plan has failed. Naturally, she inevitably had some gaffes.
Qin Zhonghai behaved very calmly, and said solemnly to his wife: "Those things that were originally three-room, I and the children want to use them, and we should also use the objects of the long room." You don't have to worry, it was inconvenient to say it in the past, but now that the things can finally be returned to their original owners, we can breathe a sigh of relief in the long house, and we don't have to worry about the objects in the library anymore. ”
Yao was still a little unacceptable: "What the hell is going on? Since every year there are newly rewarded objects in the palace that are sealed into the warehouse, how can you say that they are all three-room? Could it be that your family gets some reward from the palace every year, and can you also share a share of each room?
Qin Zhonghai said lightly: "The objects appreciated in the palace were originally divided into two parts, one for our Chengenhou Mansion and one for the third uncle. It's just that the third uncle was not in the capital in previous years, so our family kept it for him for the time being. Those objects have been sealed since they were given from the palace, and no one in our family dares to reveal them. If it hadn't been given to us with the booklet, we wouldn't even know what's in the box. Your father never had an idea, but the Holy Lord specially instructed him, and he didn't dare to disobey the order. Because of this, he always turned a blind eye to those things and left them all to his mother. The mother only ordered someone to carry it into the warehouse and seal it, and never mentioned it to anyone. Originally, in a few years, my mother would also hand over this matter to you, and naturally she would have clarified the reason. But since the third uncle and three aunts have returned to Beijing, our family's mission is over, which is a good thing for everyone. ”
After finishing speaking, he sighed: "Fortunately, the objects given to the third uncle in the palace every year are dead things that are easy to store, otherwise they will rot if they are left to be placed, and we don't know what to do with them, and we can't open the box and take the things out." ”
Yao Shi was already stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "When the palace actually rewards our family with things every year, they don't forget to leave a copy for the third uncle? Since there is such a favor, why hasn't the saint asked the third uncle about his whereabouts for 30 years? If it weren't for the Hou Ye specially sent someone to look for it, I'm afraid that the third uncle would not have returned to Beijing yet! Could it be that if he doesn't come back for a day, those things that have been rewarded have been stored in our family's treasury, and no one in our family is allowed to touch them?" Isn't the saint worried that if the third uncle doesn't come back for the rest of his life, those things won't be in his hands for the rest of his life?!"
Qin Zhonghai smiled bitterly: "That's right. If the third uncle doesn't come back to retrieve these things, his children and grandchildren will take them in the future, and they won't be ours after all. The palace has been staring at our house, and it won't let us have a hole to exploit. ”
Yao's face couldn't help but show a blank expression.
Qin Zhonghai persuaded her in turn: "Don't be reluctant, it's not our family's thing." Our family is just keeping it for the third uncle for a few years. Besides, although there are some good objects in the library, not all of them are valuable, and many of them are just some interesting knick-knacks. When the third uncle was young, he liked to play with this kind of gadget the most, but he didn't pay attention to its value. The holy gift also came with the third uncle's preference at that time. What is such a thing to you and me?"
Yao muttered, "Having said that, but I'm ...... I've never heard of it......" she bit her lip and glanced at her husband, "why are the rules of your family so strange? And since the third uncle didn't do any ugly things, and was kicked out of the house, but just moved to the border city, why didn't his things be sent directly to his house, but the Hou Ye and his wife kept them for him for 30 years?
Qin Zhonghai said with a smile: "Father is not allowed to be mentioned at home, what can my mother and I do? Besides, a C-word library is just a trivial matter, where is it worth it for you to be anxious like this? Now that the matter has been clarified, since Mother has orders, you just have to do it." He leaned into his wife's ear and lowered his voice, "Don't be clever and detain a few things and think that others don't know." The third uncle has a booklet there, and there is a file in the Internal Affairs Office. In case one day when the third uncle enters the palace to see him, one of them shows his mouth without paying attention, you will be embarrassed and thrown into the palace!"
Yao's face flushed, and he stiffened his neck and said, "You don't bury people less, how could I do that kind of thing?!"
Qin Zhonghai straightened up with a smile, lifted the curtain and went out, and continued to go back to the hugging building to read. Leaving Yao alone in the house, his face was red and white for a while, but after all, he patted the table angrily, called Yulan in, and ordered her to take the key and take a few powerful mothers-in-law to the C-shaped warehouse to get four boxes, and then send them to the Qingfeng Pavilion. She herself didn't look at it herself, and she didn't have to worry about it.
When Yulan sent the four large boxes to the Qingfeng Pavilion, the Sanfang family had already rested, and were refreshing and dressing, preparing to participate in the reception banquet specially set up by the Changfang to welcome them. Seeing the box, Qin Han was really surprised and asked what was in the magnolia?
Yulan respectfully explained the reason to Qin Bai and Niu's family, and then presented the key and the list booklet, and said, "Our second grandmother said that this was specially explained by Mrs. If the third master and the third wife don't like it, just go to the C-word library to pick a new one. ”
Qin Bai was stunned for a while, and then said: "You said that in this C-shaped library, there are things that are given from the palace every year, indicating that they are given to me? Is it given by the saint? Or is it rewarded by the Queen Mother? Are the eldest brother and sister-in-law sure that they are not mistaken? Every year?"
Magnolia smiled and said, "Yes, every year." But where there are three festivals and two birthdays, and every year and festivals, there is never a shortage of rewards in the palace. This grace, in the capital, our Hou Mansion is the first one!"
Qin Bai pursed his lips and said to Yulan with a smile: "I know, you put down your things, thank your grandmother for your kindness for me." ”
Magnolia respectfully retreated.
When she left, Niu said to Qin Bai with a smile: "I thought you had some knot with your brother-in-law, but I didn't expect him to treat you very well." ”
Qin Hanzhen tilted his head and asked, "Since this is the case, why doesn't anyone in the capital go to the northwest to find my grandfather?"
Qin Bai patted his granddaughter's head lightly, but did not answer, but asked Uncle Hu to take someone to carry the boxes into the study, saying that he would open them when he was free. Listening to this tone, I didn't even plan to check what was in it immediately.
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but be curious: "Grandfather, do you plan to open the box and check it when you come back in the evening, or when you have time tomorrow?"
Qin Bai smiled and looked in the direction of the gate: "Shaoying and Ah Yong are back." Tell them how they went?"
Qin Hanzhen's attention immediately turned to his cousin and Hu Yong, and when they entered the main house, he ran over and asked, "Cousin, Uncle Yong, how is it?" Have you seen Cousin Zhao's father?"
Wu Shaoying touched her head with a smile, raised her eyes and said to Qin Bai: "Teacher, the student finally didn't run in vain today. ”
Qin Bai hurriedly asked, "Have you seen the eldest prince of the Liao Palace?"
Wu Shaoying shook his head: "That's not true, but the student contacted one of his long-term followers, and through that long-term follower, he brought a letter to a Lan girl in his house." This Lan girl only went south to the capital from the Liaowang Mansion in Liaodong not long ago, and she had served Zhao Xiaogongzi's biological mother in the past, and she was extremely concerned about his safety. She said that she would tell the news to the eldest prince of the Liao Palace, but there was an important news about her life, and she needed to tell Zhao Xiaogongzi in advance, so she asked him to meet him at Longfu Temple tomorrow.
