Chapter 321: Testimony

Wang Fulin, Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun were all the last students Qin Bai accepted when he was still in Mizhi. Although Qin Bai has been in Beijing for nearly seven years, he has never broken contact with these old protégés.

Wang Fuzhong is now a servant of the court, a former believer of the emperor, he is Wang Fulin's cousin, and the correspondence between the brothers is naturally frequent. Wang Fulin also went to the capital to study a few years ago, and lived in Wang Fuzhong's house, but at that time, Qin Bai went to Lingnan and was not in the capital. When he came back from Lingnan, Wang Fulin went back to the northwest, and the master and apprentice were unable to meet, which has always been regrettable. Fortunately, there is news from the Wang family's side from time to time, so Qin Bai also knows about the recent situation of several students.

Wang Fulin married Yu Chengzhi's sister, and Hu Kun married a cousin of Wang Fulin. These three people are not only the same family, but also in-laws, and the relationship has always been very close. Hu Kun's family background is the worst, but in the past few years, he has been funded by two fellow disciples, and now he has married the daughter of the Wang family, and his family has gradually improved. Qin Bai wrote to them and introduced them to a good gentleman in Jindi, and they went to study according to their words, and in the past two years, they have benefited a lot. This time, all three of them passed the exam, so they simply went to Beijing together. Anyway, with the help of the Wang family along the way, the three of them take care of each other, and they must be able to go smoothly all the way.

Wang Fuzhong ordered someone to send a letter to Qin Bai, in addition to telling him the good news, he was also asking the division commander for instructions, when Wang Fulin and the others arrived in the capital, where should they live? Originally, Wang Fulin was Wang Fuzhong's brother, and Hu Kun was Wang Fuzhong's brother-in-law, so they should both settle down in the Wang family, and Yu Chengzhi was also an in-law, so if he lived outside, it would naturally not be as convenient as being in the Wang family. It's just that Qin Bai is their mentor, and in the past, there was a precedent of Wu Shaoying, who lived in the teacher's house during the preparation for the exam, or the residence arranged by the teacher, Wang Fuzhong naturally had to ask Qin Bai first before arranging food and lodging for the three newcomers.

In fact, Wang Fuzhong also has a difficulty, that is, as a waiter, he works on an errand in front of the emperor every day, which is actually a very sensitive position. If there are three people who participate in the Spring Festival to live in his house, and everyone ends up on the list, will anyone question that they got a hint from him, a royal celebrity, because of their red eyes? This is not a good influence on the three junior brothers and himself, but there are such people in the world who like to do nothing.

Qin Bai discussed with the Niu family: "We also have a lot of yards, Shaoying occupies a three-bay main house in the guest house, and there are many empty rooms, why don't they all clean up and let them live in Fulin?"

Niu still remembered her husband's three students, and said happily: "Okay, we haven't seen them for several years." They are also married and have children now, and they are no longer children, so they must be much more stable, right?"

Qin Han was a little worried: "Grandfather, it really doesn't matter if we arrange a few people to live like this? After all, our family is a relative...... and we will marry the clan soon, this really won't violate the ban?

Qin Bai just smiled faintly: "I accepted them as students, it was before I became a marquis." The emperor also knows. Be suspicious, and you won't make a fuss about this kind of thing. If I have the heart to meddle in the government, do I have to wait until today? In the Hengzhi Yushi Stage, there are always a few people who need to be invited, and they don't have the guts, so they have to target honest relatives like us who don't have real power. They talk too much, and the emperor will have more pity on us. "After all, the emperor knows how low-key his brother-in-law is, how indifferent to fame and fortune is, if he loves the powerful, he will not be willing to live in the northwest for thirty years because of a misunderstanding! If outsiders attack him, it will only bring the emperor's anger. Qin Bai was not worried about this problem.

Qin Bai only hopes that after a few students enter Beijing, they can get together with Qin Jian, Feng Yuting and others to encourage each other, learn from each other, communicate more, and gain something. And for some reason, he left behind a few well-behaved students, failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher, and was still a little reluctant to go, just taking advantage of the months before the exam, to see how much he could help them, and he would help them as much as he could. If there is a high school gold list among them in the spring of next year, it will be in vain his expectations for his protégés and students for many years.

Qin Hanzhen listened, so he didn't say anything more. She began to get busy, helping Niu clean up the yard and house. Don't look at the Yongjiahou Mansion at this time last year, it was still deserted, after Qin An's family came back in the first half of this year, they gained some popularity, and soon, the mansion will become very lively. Thinking that Qin Ping is going home, Wu Shaoying, Feng Yuting, Wang Fulin, Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun will all live in the mansion, plus Qin Jian, Lu Chuliang, Qin Xun who come to consult from time to time, and Lu Chuming, who doesn't know when he will return to Beijing, this mansion, since the Qin family became the owner, has probably never been so popular, right?

Qin Hanzhen was busy, and Zhao Mo was a little aggrieved. He was still looking forward to coming every day, at least every other day, so that he could see his fiancée every time, even if he couldn't talk for a while, he could meet and say hello! But Qin Hanzhen was busy all day long, so he couldn't come to greet him, so he could only listen to Qin Bai's teachings pitifully, or listen to Lu Chuliang, Qin Xun and others ask some stupid questions, and only when he was lucky, would he meet Qin Jian, who had a good relationship, and talk about some slightly interesting topics. The visit to Yongjiahou Mansion no longer seems to be as happy and looking forward to it as before.

A person who has tasted the delicacies suddenly asked him to eat Qingshui steamed buns again, how can he get used to it? Zhao Mo couldn't stand it a little, and he couldn't hold back for a while, so he took advantage of Qin Jian and Lu Chuliang to ask Qin Bai for homework, and when the latter couldn't notice him for a while, he sneaked out of the back door of the study. He pretended to go to the back courtyard to ask for peace for the Niu family, but in fact, he had already inquired about Qin Hanzhen's movements, and knew that she was directing her subordinates to clean up the house in the guest house, so he quietly went to her.

Qin Hanzhen had just led someone to rearrange the furniture in a few guest rooms, and specially arranged Wu Shaoying's room, and when he turned around and saw Zhao Mo standing behind him, he was startled, and asked with a smile: "When did you come over?"

Feng'er almost rolled her eyes when she turned around and saw Zhao Mo, but she still said to Qin Hanzhen very brightly: "Girl, the autumn breeze is cool, you can come into the house and talk." The glass windows in the room over there have just been covered with new curtains, so let's see if it's bright enough. "With the new window screen, the people outside will not be able to see the situation in the house, and the room will be furnished, so that the girls and women will not have to go in and disturb it. Presumably, in broad daylight, people come and go, and the king of Suning County will not mess around, right?

Qin Hanzhen glanced at her with a smile, but still accepted her suggestion and brought Zhao Mo into Wu Shaoying's room.

After Zhao Mo entered the house, he glanced around: "This is the room arranged for Uncle Wu, right? I hope that several of my grandfather's students will not be jealous because of this, and they will not suffer from widowhood and unevenness, I see that the other houses are not as particular as this, and they are about to catch up with Uncle An's house, right?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "They won't be jealous." My grandfather's students were all reliable. And it's not like it's all unequal. Cousin Wu's apprenticeship was earlier than them, almost the same period as Xiao Wang's servants, and he was the predecessor of the three uncles of Wang, Yu, and Hu. Moreover, he is not an exam-taker, but an official who has already passed the Jinshi and then the official, and he is also the officialdom predecessor of the three uncles. It is reasonable for them to respect Uncle Wu, and they will never be jealous, and maybe they will be happy to live in the same courtyard with Uncle Wu, so they should seize the opportunity to ask Uncle Wu for more teaching. ”

Zhao Mo smiled. Qin Bai teaches students that he really attaches great importance to the students' temperament, even for young people who are not good at heart, he will carefully guide them to make them good.

When he was betrayed by his relatives and embattled, his heart also became a little extreme, and his heart was full of resentment and anger. It was Qin Bai who relieved him and comforted him, so that he gradually wanted to open up and no longer cling to some meaningless grudges. Although he never formally worshipped Qin Bai as a teacher, Qin Bai's intentions for him were never worse than those of any protégé.

Speaking of which, he and the few people who are about to move into this mansion seem to be in the same family, but there may be some problems in terms of generation.

Zhao Mo smiled again and asked Qin Hanzhen, "Where will Uncle Feng live?"

Feng Yuting's residence, the Niu family was handed over to Xiao Feng's to arrange. Xiao Feng arranged him to a vacant courtyard on the West Road, not with Wu Shaoying, Wang Fulin and others. It's not that Xiao Feng wants to give his younger brother special treatment, but after Feng Yuting moves in, she, as an older sister, must come to visit every day. If Feng Yuting lived with the other men, it would be difficult for Xiao Feng to go to the courtyard where so many foreign men lived. In addition, a small courtyard is arranged to facilitate her to take care of her younger brother's diet and daily life.

Of course, Feng Yuting decided not to participate in next year's Spring Festival, and went to Beijing just to be able to study quietly. He was originally different from other people, and Xiao Feng's did not arrange for him to live with other people, also considering his younger brother's mood.

Zhao Mo did not comment on this, only said "good intentions", then changed the topic and complained about Qin Hanzhen's snub to him these days.

Qin Hanzhen blushed slightly, and whispered to him: "These days, I'm a little busy. When my father's yard, as well as the yards of Cousin Wu and several uncles, are arranged, I should be able to vacate them. When the time comes, I'll show you something that is a surprise for you, but I don't know if you like it or not. ”

Zhao Mo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile: "I can't say it, it's boring to say it." But you can guess for yourself, and if you guess, ask me. ”

Zhao Mo began to guess, guessing the clothes, shoes and socks, accessories, and snacks...... There are all kinds of things, but I have never guessed correctly. Qin Hanzhen smiled: "You just have to continue to guess." But she thought in her heart, she was obviously best at painting, why didn't Zhao Mo even guess this answer?

In fact, Zhao Mo didn't guess it, he just enjoyed this little fun between the two. What's the meaning of saying the answer in one bite? Don't you look at the two of them now, you say a word, I say a word, are you chatting happily?

Zhao Mo chatted happily with Qin Hanzhen for a long time before returning to the Xinjun Wangfu across the street with a happy mood. It's just that his good mood didn't last long, Xiao Wang's henchman Shuang'er, for some reason, came to see Zhao Mo on her order, saying that there was a big incident in the family, and she wanted to ask him, the eldest son, to go back and be a witness.

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

What can he testify?
