Chapter 173: Yang Mou
It took a long time for Qin Bai to say to Wu Shaoying: "How long have you had this idea?Did you have it before you left Beijing?" Otherwise, how could the student suddenly become so close to Brother Zi'er?
Although Brother Zi'er is innocent, he is the son of the He family after all, and the He family is the culprit who caused Wu Shaoying's cousin Guan to commit suicide. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWu Shaoying may not be angry with Brother Zi'er, but there is no reason to be close to him. During those days in the capital, he was only affectionate to Brother Zi'er, and he didn't necessarily care much about it. But this time they went south, and they seemed to be like uncles and nephews. Brother Zi'er is not a sensible child, but Wu Shaoying is an adult. Qin Bai had doubts in his heart, but it was only today that he realized his intentions.
Wu Shaoying listened to the teacher's question, and just smiled faintly: "Before leaving Beijing, the student did realize that Brother Zi'er was not suitable to continue to stay in the capital. He is a child, and there are no elders by his side, and rumors alone can crush him. And this was all brought by his biological mother. If it weren't for the He family's trouble at the door of the Chengenhou Mansion, how could outsiders know about her relationship with Brother Zi'er? She only thought about herself, but she left behind the dignity of her own flesh and blood. Although she is now dead, she has left behind a grudge. Not to mention how Zhao Jie would hate her for drugged, how could the third aunt and grandmother of the Wang family not complain about her? That is a cut off of the heirs! And the Wang family is the in-laws of the Cheng'en Mansion. In less than two days, there were already people who didn't have long eyes saying something indiscriminate in front of Brother Zi'er. In the long run, if they just use some secret means to murder Brother Zi'er, it will be okay, I am afraid that they will teach the good children crookedly, and the teacher and the family will not be at peace in the future!"
He paused and looked at Qin Bai: "Therefore, it is better for Brother Zi'er to stay in Beijing than to leave Beijing." ”
Qin Bai sighed. Wu Shaoying may have his own selfish intentions, but his words are not unreasonable. This is a real conspiracy, even if he, a teacher, feels sorry for his grandson, he has to admit that it is better for the child to send Brother Zi'er out of Beijing.
It's just that Brother Zi'er is only five years old!
Qin Bai said to Wu Shaoying: "Your master and wife will never agree." ”
Wu Shaoying said: "Although my wife feels sorry for her grandson, she also understands things better. Teacher, students to tell the truth, although Brother Zi'er is the only grandson of you and your mother, and he is young, the days when he really lived by your two sides were not long. When he was young, he was able to live peacefully, not to mention that now that he is getting older, he has begun to remember?"
Brother Zi'er grew up in Datong since he was a child, and it wasn't until the year of Qin Ping's accident that He took him back to the old house of Mizhi to see his grandparents, and the Tonggong didn't stay in the old house for a few days before he was sent back to Datong's house by He. When Qin Bai and his wife went to Beijing, they took him out of Datong's house and brought him all the way into the capital, which could be regarded as giving him a chance to get along with his grandparents for a long time. But when Qin Bai and his wife went south to worship their ancestors, Brother Zi'er was left in the Chengenhou Mansion again. Calculate the time, the days when the three grandparents and grandchildren really get along are only less than a year. He has always lived well, and he is not thirsty or hungry, which shows that he can adapt well even if he does not live with his grandparents.
Qin Bai frowned, but he couldn't refute it.
Wu Shaoying continued: "Brother Zi'er has loyal maidservants waiting by her side, and if there are a few more relatives to help take care of it, it will be even more foolproof. Qin Zhuang is very good, the clansmen are reasonable, the ladies also treat him kindly, and many children are close to him, and there are clan studies, so you don't have to worry about his studies. Even his residence has an ancestral house newly built for you. You have an industry in Jiangnan, and you have sent your confidants and family to operate here, and there is no problem with daily supply. There are still Huang Yan things outside who can help take care of them, and I don't have to worry about anyone daring to bully the child. If you and your wife miss your grandson, wouldn't it be convenient to go back to your hometown to visit your relatives?"
Qin Bai sighed: "Having said that, how can he stay alone at his young age? Even if there are clansmen and domestic servants to take care of them, they can't compare to their relatives' intentions. If you don't mention anything else, your wife will definitely refuse to agree. This is different from Brother Zi'er who didn't live with us before. At the same time, he had his own parents to take care of him, and he had a long house in Beijing, all of whom were close relatives. But in Jiangning, if our husband and wife don't stay, and the clansmen are separated by one layer, how attentive can they be? They are now treating Brother Zi'er with hospitality, and most of them always come with me. If they suspect that I have become cold to Brother Zi'er, I don't know how to snub the child. Although Brother Zi'er's biological mother is not good, he has not done anything bad, but is very sensible and reasonable. How can I leave one of his children in my hometown?"
Wu Shaoying thought for a while: "If the teacher is worried that Brother Zi'er will have a bad life if he leaves his relatives, why don't you send him back to Datong? Now that the He family is dead, his wife is looking at Brother An again, and wants to marry another wife for him. When he gets married, someone will take care of the inner house, so that Brother Zi'er will return to his father, and he will not worry about no one to raise him. He may be more familiar with Datong, and stay by Brother An's side, so that the relationship between father and son will not be alienated because of the long-term separation between the two places. ”
That's the right thing. Qin Bai is not worried that Qin An's remarried wife will treat Brother Zi'er harshly, and the choice of daughter-in-law will be careful to their husband and wife, and they will never marry another vicious woman for their second son. It's just that if the second son has a new wife and has another heir in the future, Brother Zi'er, the eldest son, will also be embarrassed because he has become a wife. If he is separated from his father for a long time, and the relationship is not deep, his situation will be even more difficult. Send him back to Qin An early, and the father and son will get along more and their relationship will be closer.
Thinking of this, Qin Bai's expression softened a lot, and he smiled and said to Wu Shaoying: "Although you are bent on persuading me to send Brother Zi'er away, you still think about him in your heart. ”
Wu Shaoying smiled and said: "Of course, what do I have to worry about with his child? It is rare that he is very sensible at a young age, and I naturally hope that he can live well in the future." But he understood in his heart that Qin Bai meant to loosen his mouth.
He began to analyze for Qin Bai, whether to leave Brother Zi'er in the Jiangning clan or send him back to Datong, what are the pros and cons of each.
Staying in Jiangning, with the people of the clan to take care of and the brothers of the clan as companions, there is no problem in life or study. As long as he greets the patriarch of the clan and Qin Kewen, who presides over the clan study of the fourth room, in advance, and sends people back to visit him regularly every year, no one will bully him without a long eye. When he grows up, he wants to go to school, he has to take the imperial examination, and he doesn't have to go back and forth to take the exam in his hometown. Moreover, there are very few people in Jiangning who know who his biological mother is, but everyone knows that he is the eldest grandson of Yongjiahou. No matter who it is, it will look at Qin Bai's face and let him score three points.
Sent back to Datong, there is a biological father and sister here, and it is also good, and it is also a little closer to the capital. It's just that Qin An's back house now has a golden ring as a concubine, and he is about to marry his second wife. Even if the stepmother has a good character, she will not treat the son of the yuan match harshly, and she may not really care for her, but in the end, she still has to rely on the people waiting by Brother Zi'er's side. And Qin An is responsible, it is impossible to stay at home every day to take care of the children, and he may not be able to take care of anything. Datong is a border town again, and Brother Zi'er stays here, which is a problem academically. What's more important is that there are more people in Datong City who know what the He family has done, and no one dares to guarantee whether these insiders will say anything nonsense in front of their children. If you send Brother Zi'er away from the rumors, Datong is not a suitable place.
After Wu Shaoying's analysis, Qin Bai already knew it in his heart. He didn't say it explicitly, but only said to the students: "I will discuss this matter with your wife." At the moment, we are still in Jiangning, so we don't have to rush to make a decision. You'll stay here for one night today, and you'll leave early tomorrow. ”
Wu Shaoying didn't want to say too much, but seemed aggressive, so she agreed with a smile.
Zhou Xiangnian came over to report on the resettlement situation everywhere, Qin Bai went to talk to him, and Wu Shaoying went to see Brother Zi'er.
Niu Shi and Qin Hanzhen went into the back bedroom to set up the bed, and Brother Zi'er was still lying on the bamboo couch, but looking at his complexion, he seemed to be better, and he didn't fall asleep. As soon as he heard Wu Shaoying's footsteps approaching, he opened his eyes, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and shouted, "Uncle Wu." ”
Wu Shaoying smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed, touching his little head: "Is your body better? When I came in just now, I saw your happy appearance, why did you become listless after a short while? Is it a headache?"
Brother Zi'er sat up a little embarrassed and whispered, "I don't have a headache, I just feel ...... Although it's good here, it would be even better if Brother Zhang and Brother Qi were there......"
Wu Shaoying smiled a little deeper: "Do you like your two little brothers so much? It seems that you are really like-minded." If I had known this, when my teacher and my wife went south, it would have been good to take you with them, so wouldn't you have been able to get to know Brother Zhang'er and them earlier? But you were sick again at that time! You couldn't hurry. ”
Brother Zi'er also felt deeply regretful, and he was still a little worried: "Brother Zhang'er's mother said that he would accompany me back to the capital, but my grandfather didn't agree, and Brother Qi couldn't go with us." I don't know how long I can get together with them. Uncle Wu, I'm so reluctant. ”
Wu Shaoying smiled faintly: "Don't worry. Brother Zhang'er and Brother Qi'er's homes are in Jiangning, so it's not good for them to leave their relatives and go with you. The teacher is against it, and it is also for this reason. But if you want, you can stay with them? Didn't you tell me that living in Qinzhuang is more comfortable than living in the capital? Everyone here is enthusiastic and kind to you, unlike the people in the Marquis Mansion in the capital, who have to make a few turns when they speak, thinking that you can't understand the words of the adults, but in fact, you know in your heart that they are laughing at you. ”
Brother Zi'er opened a pair of round eyes and nodded hurriedly. Wu Shaoying smiled: "Then you can go and talk to your grandfather and grandmother and tell them what you think." They love you so much, most of them won't refuse. ”
