Mr. Qin returned home before dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoMama Tiger arrived home half an hour before him.

The matter of going to the Wang family to borrow a house went well. Now the person in charge of the Wang family is Wang Fuzhong's uncle, who has a son named Wang Fulin, who is still living in the Qin family to study. Wang Fulin was selected for Xiucai two years ago, and now he is studying hard and preparing for the township exam. The Qin family is a trivial matter, they naturally will not refuse. Wang Fuzhong's house is usually empty and no one lives there.

Wang Fulin's mother also took the initiative to bring the maid over to clean and tidy up the house. Now that it is late autumn, the weather is cold, and the granddaughter of the Qin family is sick again, so she simply burned the kang in advance, preparing for the Qin family to pass, and it is convenient to use.

After listening to Mama Hu's reply, Niu was very satisfied, and ordered Mama Hu to tell the family not to neglect the food, clothing, housing and transportation of several scholars living in the mansion. The weather is getting colder, and cotton clothes, ondols, charcoal basins, stoves, and hot tea must be prepared.

After Mr. Qin came back, the Niu family told him about borrowing the Wang family's house. Mr. Qin was a little surprised, but he didn't object, he just said: "It's too troublesome for others, isn't it? The Guan family also has an empty house, if you really want to borrow it, wouldn't it be better to live in your in-laws' house?"

Niu Shi glanced at him: "The Guan family is now doing a funeral, and the descendants of the Wu family are grateful for the grace of their in-laws, and spent a lot of money to invite senior monks from Lingying Temple to chant scriptures day and night. How can we sleep well if we live in his house? It's okay for us adults to stay up, but Sister Sang'er is a small person, and the injury is not healed, how can we withstand it?"

Mr. Qin was a little sneering: "It's my negligence, it's up to you, it's up to you." ”

Niu Shi glanced at him, raised his chin and snorted lightly, before talking about something else: "I heard that many people in the county have gone to incense their in-laws?

Old Mr. Qin was stunned: "Is there such a thing? I don't know." But I've seen Master Qi, he's a decent man, and he's smart, and it's not too late to teach his children. ”

Niu snorted: "As long as the book is read well, and the people who are well-mannered on the surface, you say that it is good, and if there is anything unsightly in private, you will ignore it." If this Qi master is really a decent person, why didn't his wife and daughter talk about etiquette at all in the Guan family? The Guan family locked their two girls in the house and didn't call them out, and it was inferred that they were sick, and no matter how doubtful their relatives and friends were, they would not find out the root cause in such a day. Only the mother and daughter of the Qi family will repeatedly insist on seeing people. This is just bullying the Guan family without a foundation, if it is a big family, do you think they will be so rude?"

Mr. Qin said unexpectedly: "No, right? I heard that the lady of the Qi master bookkeeper is from a scholarly family, and she has a straightforward temperament, and she is the most fair person, and I have never heard of her being rude." ”

"Really?" Niu was skeptical, "Then why did she let her daughter bully people in the Guan family?"

"No matter what the reason is, it must not be deliberately trying to embarrass people, just go back and ask someone about the reason. Mr. Qin said, "Although Master Qi has only been in office for half a year, you have also had dealings with the wives of the county government in the past, haven't you heard of Qi Niangzi's personality?"

Speaking of this, Niu was a little embarrassed: "I often correspond with the county magistrate's wife, but I have never seen the lady of the Qi master book." I won't talk about it recently, when she first came to Mizhi, I heard Mrs. Qi say that the master of Qi is from Xi'an, but Qi Niangzi's maiden home is in Linxian County, which is very close to here. I remembered that the second daughter-in-law married the family before, which was in Linxian County, and I heard that it was still a big family in the county. I was afraid that I would meet Qi Niangzi, and the two sides talked about their family history, and mentioned that the second daughter-in-law remarried, and they were embarrassed by each other, so I simply found an excuse not to see her. ”

I see.

Old Mr. Qin sighed: "How many years ago did this happen? The second daughter-in-law has been married for so many years, and she also gave birth to Brother Zi, so don't always talk about this." Let the second child know, he doesn't feel good. ”

Niu snorted coldly: "He is not comfortable, and he must be asked to bear it! Just because he is desperate to marry this daughter-in-law and come back, how much trouble has our family suffered? Now that his brother is gone, and his sister-in-law is gone, he left a daughter, and he also asked his daughter-in-law to bring half of his life. His daughter-in-law is in front of us, and she doesn't look like a daughter-in-law at all. Such a woman, he still holds it like a treasure, and he doesn't care about his father, brother and sister-in-law at all. Could it be that I still want to make myself uncomfortable for him?!"

Mr. Qin saw that she was angry for her second daughter-in-law again, so he had to comfort her: "Okay, Medical Officer Zhang said that you can't be angry, why can't you help it? If he still recognizes us as parents, he cannot continue to pretend that he does not know what his daughter-in-law is doing. If he would rather disobey us and keep his daughter-in-law, then we don't need to be angry with him, just as if we don't have this son. ”

Niu Shi glanced at her husband again: "You said it lightly. It was my own flesh and blood from October pregnancy. I don't have the eldest anymore, how can I even not want the second child? Originally, it was the surname He who confused our son, as long as there is no her, my son will definitely come to his senses!"

The conversation between Mr. Qin and the Niu couple, Qin Hanzhen didn't know anything. She eats and sleeps seriously, and almost does nothing except these two things every day, but when Zhang's mother is free, she continues to inquire with her about the trivial matters of the Qin and Guan families, so as not to know nothing when she goes out next time.

However, before going to the Guan family to worship her grandfather, she first experienced her mother's "first seven".

Guan died in a trance, so he did not stop at home, and the coffin was moved to a temple near the village. There is also Qin Ping's coffin there, and the couple happens to be companions.

Although the Qin family has moved to Mizhi for many years, they are not locals, and even the old lady of Qin, Niu, only settled here with her deceased father in the early years. Today's Qin family mansion was actually the Niu family's mansion in the past. Niu is an only daughter, inherited all the family property of her deceased father, and took her husband's surname after marriage, and the mansion also changed her surname to Qin. Old lady Niu's coffin has long been sent back to his hometown. The Qin family does not have a cemetery in Mizhi. Mr. Qin discussed with the Niu family, planning to let the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law temporarily be placed in the temple for a few years, and when the time is right, they should still be sent back to their hometown, which also means that the leaves fall back to their roots.

Because of the relationship between the Guan family and the funeral, the Guan family's "first seven" ceremony in the Qin family was quite low-key, but the necessary ceremonies were all there. Several members of the Guan family couldn't get out, and Wu Shaoying, as a representative of the Guan family, came to participate in the ceremony.

When Qin Hanzhen saw Wu Shaoying again, he saw that his expression was a little haggard, obviously he was very tired in the past few days. She originally wanted to ask about the follow-up of that day, staying in the Qin family, her grandparents and Mama Hu didn't tell her about the Guan family, she really didn't know anything about the funeral, she could only hope that Wu Shaoying could give her some breath. But seeing him like this, he was a little hesitant.

However, no matter how hesitant he was in his heart, Qin Hanzhen also knew that there were some things that could not be delayed, so he found an opportunity to ask. Since her grandparents were present, she asked more vaguely: "Is my cousin okay? Things are going well? How are my grandmother and uncle, aunt, and aunt?"

Wu Shaoying lowered her head and touched her hair, and smiled faintly: "Everyone is fine, just a little tired, just get through this while." Sister Sang doesn't have to worry, everything has a cousin. ”

The Guan family is holding a funeral, it is impossible for the aunt Guan Yunniang not to show her face, Qin Hanzhen was worried that she would continue to talk nonsense, but listening to Wu Shaoying's voice, it must be fine.

That's right, her father is dead, no matter how willful Guan Yunniang is, it is impossible for her to openly gossip about her sister and cousin at the funeral, right? What's more, Uncle Guan had already threatened her that day. As long as Guan Yunniang doesn't really want to fall out with her family, she should still know what to do.

Guan's "first seven" passed, and within a few days, it was the day of Old Man Guan's funeral.

After a few days of recuperation, Qin Hanzhen's spirit has improved a lot, and the blood on his face has increased. This time, because she entered the city a day earlier, she still had time to recuperate, and when she arrived at Guan's house, she would not be sick and couldn't do anything.

Uncle Hu and Mama Hu prepared the carriage early, spread three or four layers of thick mattresses in the carriage, and brought all the medicines and utensils that could be used, preparing for motion sickness again on Qin Hanzhen's road. However, perhaps because her physical condition has improved, and the carriage is moving slower, she is not as uncomfortable as last time, and she only vomited twice on the road. When she arrived at the place, she still had the strength to lead Mama Tiger and stepped on the stool to get out of the car.

But after entering the room and getting on the kang, she still looked weak. Anyway, she's still a child, and there's nothing for her to do, no matter how long she rests, it doesn't matter.

This time, their ancestors and grandchildren borrowed the house of a Wang Hanlin family. Wang Hanlin is a son of the county middle family, a student of Mr. Qin, and now an official in the capital. His house is divided into two rooms, with more than 20 rooms, which is very spacious. Mr. Qin lived in the front yard with his granddaughter and servants, and the backyard was the inner house of the master's family, even if the master was not there at the moment, they did not plan to alarm.

Mr. Qin kept the courtesy and took his granddaughter to live in Wang Hanlin's study. The place here is large, divided into three rooms with a partition fan, the middle is the hall, the left secondary room is the study, and the right secondary room has a large kang. Mr. Qin planned to sleep in the left secondary room by himself, so he specially asked the Wang family to borrow a small couch, and asked Mama Hu to bring her granddaughter to live on the big kang in the right secondary room, and Uncle Hu was laying on the floor in the small hall in the middle. The two brothers Hu Da and Hu borrowed the Wang family's gatehouse, so it was not crowded.

Wang Fulin, a student who followed the Qin family into the city together, saw that the teacher's family was settled properly, so he took his leave and left. He followed him into the city this time because he planned to go home to see his parents. When Mr. Qin and his party go home, he will follow him and leave again.

Qin Hanzhen thought that this night would be spent so peacefully, so after dinner, he washed up early and prepared to go to bed early, but he was afraid that his digestion would not be good, so he looked at other people's books on the kang, and hesitated whether to take a look at it. Unexpectedly, at this time, someone actually came to visit Mr. Qin. Even Mr. Qin himself was very surprised.

There were two guests, one was Wu Shaoying, and the other was Lord Qi, the chief secretary of the county government. They quietly came to Wang Hanlin's house, very low-key, and didn't seem to want to alarm too many people.
