After the ancestor worship was over, Qin Bai and the Niu clan were relieved. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Niu's condition has improved, the medicine has been eaten, and he is hesitating whether to go to the hospital again.

Qin Hanzhen persuaded her: "Let's go again, your condition is not over yet, and you can't take it lightly." Even if you don't have to take medicine to cure the disease, you can still prescribe a prescription for side care. When we went last time, didn't Dr. Ye say, "You were seriously ill last year and injured your vitality and need to recuperate?"

Niu thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he said, "Then let's go tomorrow." Not today, the master is not available. ”

Qin Bai returned to the clan land for a few days, and he had to go out almost every other day, saying that he was going out for a stroll, and he didn't take anyone with him except Uncle Hu. Niu's only thinks he is homesick and nostalgic, and he can go. However, in the past two days, he began to think about another thing, that is, there is no clan study in the Qin clan, and if the children want to study, they can only find another local annex, which is very inconvenient.

In the past thirty years, the Qin clan has not produced a few reading seeds, but there are only three or four talents and two people. One of them has given up continuing the imperial examination, and the other has gone to study in other places. In addition, there are a few children, but they can't pass the show, so what if they are children?

It was difficult for Qin Bai to accept that the family had fallen into such a situation. In the past, because Mrs. Ye attached great importance to the relationship between the children of the clan studying and taking the imperial examination, she sponsored several young children. At that time, there were still a few reading seeds in the clan, not as shabby and withered as now, and the talent was good, so it stands to reason that they should have a great future. Who would have thought that the Qin family would lose power and affect these children. They failed in the imperial examination back then, some gave up on themselves, and later failed to resume their studies, some were framed and injured, and some persevered and never gave up their studies. But after Qin Song became the head of the six-room family, he was very cold to the clansmen, and he no longer mentioned the matter of sponsoring the clansmen's education. The two clansmen relied on their own efforts and finally got into the Juren, that is, the two mentioned earlier.

The one who gave up the imperial examination was because his father died of illness, his mother needed to be supported, and his wife and children were weak, so he had to go home to support the family business. Qin Bai listened to the other party talk about his experience over the years, and felt extremely sorry in his heart. It's a pity that the clansman has missed the good years, and now he can't pick up his books again, so he can only pin his hopes on his children and grandchildren.

Qin Bai didn't want to see such a thing happen again, so he suggested to the patriarch that he find an empty house in the clan - for example, the house that Qin Keyong and Xiao Huang had originally arranged for him to live in was very good - to build a clan school, but all the children of the clan had to go to study when they reached the age of six. Tuition fees, books, pen, ink, paper, etc., are paid by the family. The children need to study in the clan study for ten years, and when they are sixteen years old, but they have not even been admitted to the examination, it can be seen that they have no talent in the imperial examination, so they can arrange to do other things. After reading books for ten years, I can read and write, and I also understand the reason, and it is better to make a living in another business than not to know anything.

But if someone can get a future in the exam, the clan will have to work together to fund him to continue the exam. As long as one of the children can enter the imperial examination, the whole clan will have protection, and will not lose the support of the Chengenhou of the Six Chambers once they will not lose their spirit, and the clansmen will only know how to calculate how to please the nobles.

When Qin Bai said this, he didn't specify who it was, but the patriarch and Qin Keyong always felt that he was hinting at Qin Keyong and his wife. The patriarch secretly wiped his sweat, and sighed in his heart that this beam was still settled in the end, and he still had to keep an eye on his son and daughter-in-law in the future, so as not to let them be stupid again. Qin Keyong was distressed, he was busy with the matter of worshipping his ancestors in the six rooms, why did the resentment of the six rooms not subside?

Qin Bai didn't care about the careful thinking of the father and son, he just said to the patriarch: "I have been away from the clan for many years, and I have never done my filial piety for my parents' ancestors, I am ashamed in my heart, and I have the heart to contribute to the clan. Please ask my brother to come forward and buy me 200 acres of fertile land as a sacrificial field for the exclusive use of clan studies. It's just a teacher of clan science, and he has to ask his brother to visit the countryside talents. As soon as I am in Jiangning, I will contribute to this matter for a day. ”

The patriarch was immediately moved: "Is this true? Do you really want to donate 200 acres of fertile land to the clan?!"

Qin Bai paused: "It is used as a sacrificial field, and it is specially used for clan scholars." ”

The patriarch hurriedly said: "Of course, of course. I will definitely make good use of this money to build a good school for the clan. He also quickly took stock of the scholars in Jiangning who might be invited to be teachers. Circling around, he thought of the old Confucian who had a reputation for showing off his talents, or the teacher of another school.

Qin Bai frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, just asked him: "This matter still needs to be discussed by all the clan elders and the heads of each house, especially those who have meritorious names in the clan, and they can't be absent." ”

The patriarch is also a person who has been admitted to the Xiucai meritorious service in the past thirty years, although he has not been able to go further, but he also knows that the identity of the meritorious person is not ordinary, and he immediately accepted Qin Bai's suggestion.

This small gathering was held in the ancestral house of the sixth room, and after a while, the members of the clan gathered in the flower hall in the front yard, sat in rows, and discussed business. Knowing that Qin Bai was going to fund the establishment of the clan study, everyone was very much in favor of it, and they all made suggestions for the clan study. One after another, some clansmen who rushed to hear the news listened to it, and some teenagers who were interested in studying for the imperial examination were even more excited, and they exchanged words and talked endlessly.

Even Qin Jian took Zhao Mo to the front yard to join in the fun.

Niu listened happily in the backyard and said to Qin Hanzhen, "Let them be busy." Your grandfather hadn't slept well for several days for the sake of this clan. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "This is a good thing." Our family should also cultivate a few reading seeds, as long as an atmosphere is formed, and there are people from generation to generation, the family can prosper for a long time. ”

Niu Shi was surprised and said: "Good boy, it is difficult for you to understand this truth at a young age." Your grandfather used to say this when he was in Mizhi. She sighed, "How come there are few people in the clan who understand such a simple truth?

"It's a pity. Qin Han said, "If the clan study had already existed, the Chengenhou Mansion in Beijing would also be willing to sponsor a few clansmen to study for the imperial examination, maybe a few jinshi would have been trained a long time ago." Whether it is an official in the court or a local office, the six rooms in Beijing will not be as isolated as they are now. Although it is difficult for relatives to hold real power, no one will stop their relatives from studying and progressing. It's not that I'm talking about the elders, but the eldest uncle and grandfather think about fighting for power and profit all the time, why didn't they think of the right path? He thought that how did the Wang family have such prosperity today? Didn't he train his family's children to study and become prominent in order to get to the present situation? Rather than curry favor with the Wang family, it was better to work hard himself. ”

When she said this, Niu Shi immediately looked at her granddaughter differently, and Mama Hu also smiled: "It's really our girl who was born with a crystal heart." Such insightful words are not something that ordinary ladies can say. ”

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "I'm just saying it casually." ”

She said to Niu: "Grandmother, didn't you say that you want to go to the clan room to thank your uncle and grandmother? Anyway, Grandpa is busy in the front yard, and you don't have much to do, so you just go to the sect's house to hang out. ”

Niu nodded: "That's right, the weather is good today, so it's good for me to go out for a walk." Zongfang's sister-in-law is still a good person, not like her second daughter-in-law - although Keyong's daughter-in-law has also made great efforts to worship our ancestors, but I really don't like her when I see her. ”

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "If you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, what's the matter? Aunt Keyong was also sent by her aunt to come to our sixth room to help." Let's go and thank my aunt and uncle. I can also go and see Uncle Kryan by the way, I wonder how his condition is?"

Niu took his granddaughter's hand, took Mama Hu, Mama Wei and the two big girls, and slowly walked to the sect's side.

The people walking around in Qin Zhuang are either the Qin clansmen or the servants of the Qin clan, and there is nothing to avoid. There are also young girls or daughters-in-law of the tribe who are bold enough to walk alone, and those who are more timid bring companions or wear hats. The Niu family and his party went to the sect, and they were also very generous. When you meet an acquaintance on the way, you will say hello.

Halfway through, Uncle Hu chased after him: "The master heard that the wife went to the sect's room, don't worry, let me follow." If there's anything that needs to be sent to run errands, my old arms and legs can still do a little bit of strength. ”

Niu heard that her husband cared about him so much, and he was not at ease at the distance of these few steps, and he was very happy in his heart.

Mama Tiger glanced at her husband with disgust: "Do you think you are still a young man? Why don't you call your son to do errands? Why don't you wear more leather robes when you go out? Look at your thin jacket, you are not afraid of catching a cold!" Uncle Hu grinned at her, and was glared at by her again, before he honestly said: "I am not cold." If you feel cold, I'll ask someone to borrow a piece of clothing to wear in the sect room for a while, and I'll return it to someone when I get home. ”

Qin Hanzhen stared at the road under his feet expressionlessly, thinking that he hadn't eaten dog food for a long time, but he didn't expect to come here as soon as he came today.

They walked to the sect room and came to the second gate very smoothly. A young girl walked out of the second gate, looking fifteen or sixteen years old, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, quite beautiful. It's just that this beauty is a little discounted at the moment, because this girl is obviously angry, and her facial features are a little deformed.

When she went out and met the Niu family and Qin Hanzhen, the girl was also stunned for a moment, but quickly realized who they were, busily dissipated her anger, smiled all over her face, and stepped forward to salute: "But the lady and young lady of the Yongjiahou Mansion? The slave family is the Yiqiu of the Huang family." I heard that Mrs. and Miss were in the Qin clan, and they should have come to see them earlier, but I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet the two of them today, and I hope that Mrs. and Miss will not blame Yiqiu for being rude. ”

Who is this girl?

Qin Hanzhen looked at her inexplicably, looked at her grandmother, and saw that Niu's face was also at a loss, knowing that her grandmother didn't know the identity of the other party. However, since it is said to be the Yiqiu of the Huang family, is it the maiden family of the Xiao Huang family?

Uncle Hu, who was standing behind Niu and Qin Hanzhen, was stunned for a moment, stared at Huang Yiqiu a few more times, and muttered in his heart......

This girl...... Why do you look a little like the queen when she was young?
