Chapter 274: End
Qin Ping's family letter first said some trivial things, such as he lived very comfortably in the winter in Guangzhou, where the climate was warm, and he only needed to wear a thin cotton jacket when he was the coldest time, and he would sweat after more activities, and then the thin cotton jacket could only be replaced, because wet clothes were more uncomfortable to wear.
Qin Ping grew up in the northwest since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to ice and snow, and now that he spends the winter in a subtropical region like Lingnan, it is no wonder that he doesn't take the winter there seriously. Qin Han really thought that there is no heating in the north now, so he can only rely on his own kang or fire wall or charcoal basin, which is far from being comparable to modern society. Therefore, the winter in Lingnan is wet and cold, but it is still much warmer than in the north. In this era, it is estimated that the annual heating regional battle will not happen, after all, the north is really cold, and the south is really not so cold.
Qin Ping also introduced the good dishes he ate during the New Year, the special local customs in Guangzhou, and the spring sowing scene after the beginning of spring - this is probably because he heard that Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo were collecting books on agriculture, although he didn't know if it could help them, but Qin Ping still told them what he knew. Along with the letter, there are also a few agricultural books from Lingnan, as well as the imperial calendar issued by the government there, and even a booklet, which introduces the farming situation in the West and Nanyang, and the reference value is not high, but it can be read as a leisure book.
Qin Hanzhen also thinks that it is not bad to know a little about the situation in foreign countries, if Zhao Mo grows up and is interested in Nanyang, he can also get a larger piece of land over there, a larger island or something, and build a single village or farm, which is specially used to grow grain, or other cash crops, and transport them back to his home country to sell, it is estimated that it will also work. Anyway, he is now engaged in the tea business, and isn't tea one of the main products of the DPRK's foreign trade? By the way, he has set up an overseas caravan to specialize in transnational business. Even if he can only have a small fief like Suning in his life, it is enough for him to live a prosperous life. Maybe you can also participate in a share and make a fortune?
Of course, that's all for later. Qin Hanzhen withdrew his divergent thoughts and continued to read the letter.
After Qin Ping finished saying these gossips, as soon as the tone of his words changed, he mentioned Wu Shaoying, his junior brother and cousin-in-law. He heard that Wu Shaoying had been sick a few years ago, and although he knew that the latter's condition was no longer serious, he couldn't help but worry. Because Wu Shaoying refused to marry a wife, and there was no female dependent around him who could take care of his food, clothing, and daily life, and there was no one who could manage him, Qin Ping was very worried that he would be busy with official business in the future, so he didn't know how to take care of himself. He wanted his daughter to help keep an eye on it, and persuaded his grandmother to carefully select one or two old and careful maid rings and send them to Wu Shaoying to wait. You don't have to pick a beautiful one, the most important thing is to be polite. He doesn't worry about marrying a wife and taking a concubine for his junior brother, but he can't sit back and watch no one take care of his junior brother.
When Qin Hanzhen saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Why didn't she think of this idea? Although she was not used to giving people as gifts, Wu Shaoying gave her a little girl, and Qingxing also gave her a Feng'er, and she could do it. For example, Feng'er is very good, she knows a little about everything, and she is also straightforward, she can say whatever she wants, so that Qin Hanzhen, the master, can use it quite comfortably.
I knew that she would leave Feng'er to Wu Shaoying.
Do you want to send a letter to Qing Xing and ask her to help find one or two suitable girls in Jiangning and send them to Wu Shaoying? If Qing Xing did this directly in Jiangnan, it would be much easier than Niu's sending someone from Beijing.
Qin Han really thought about it and felt that it was better to forget it. First, Qingxing has already been released, and at this time, I'm afraid she is busy preparing for marriage, why should she make trouble for Qingxing again? Second, Qingxing was Wu Shaoying's maid, and it was a little weird to train Wu Shaoying as a girl. Three...... Grandmother Niu is thinking about her grandson, she must be very happy if she has an excuse to send someone from the capital to Jinling, why should she be deprived of a good opportunity to send someone to visit her grandson?
Qin Hanzhen decided to mention this matter to his grandmother in a while.
She continued to read the letter again, and Qin Ping didn't say anything important later, but mentioned it in passing, saying that Feng'er's stepmother's marriage was yellow, and Qin Ping sent someone to tell her fiancΓ© about her ex-husband being ruined by her. Although the scribe didn't think that a little widow dared to play the same trick on himself, the other party was not a stunning beauty, and it was strange to be unlucky to have this kind of thing, not to mention that it was Qin Ping, the garrison lord, who came to inform him, so he naturally had to show an attitude.
The marriage was yellow, and Feng'er's stepmother went to the man's house to make trouble, but the scribe was not a vegetarian, not only exposed her past in public, but also through her relationship in the county government, she invited the scribe of the torture room and the head catcher to go to the township where her family was located, claiming to strictly investigate the illegal deeds of her mother's family. Feng'er's stepmother herself is not a law-abiding citizen, and this investigation will not expose it? The scribe of the torture room and the head catcher found out in the town that she was lending usury, and her brother had forced people to death in order to collect debts, so he simply locked up her sister and brother and took them to the county office. Her sister and brother went bankrupt in order to fight a lawsuit, and their younger brother was sentenced to dozens of boards, and they were directly sentenced to exile in the southwest, and they don't know if they will die halfway through. The younger brother and daughter-in-law were angry that the eldest sister-in-law had tired her husband and made the family poor, so she drove the eldest sister-in-law out of the house, and then sold the remaining family property in exchange for money, and took her own children to her mother's house.
Just like Feng'er's stepmother did to Feng'er's family at the beginning, she didn't leave her own children behind.
Feng'er's stepmother was out of the house, and her younger siblings sold all the houses in the house, and she didn't even have a place to go to when she took the money away. She was beaten again in the yamen, she was beaten with a bare buttocks, so that people saw the light, there was no dignity left, she was injured and sick, she was embarrassed, and there was nothing left of the beauty she once had, let alone remarrying, even selling herself into the Qinglou, the Qinglou had to be disgusted. It is said that she later lived in a ruined temple, became a flower child, and begged for a few mouthfuls of leftovers from kind-hearted people every day, barely surviving. But she was not lightly injured, and she had not recuperated well, and the wounds on her body were festering, and it was estimated that she would die sooner or later.
Qin Ping told his daughter the news first, and when the woman died, he would come back to inform her.
Qin Hanzhen was dumbfounded, thinking that his father was really good at doing things. Qingxing told her Feng'er's life experience, it was still in February, and now it has just entered April, less than two months before and after. Although she wrote a letter to her father immediately, after deducting the time spent going back and forth between the two places, the time that her father really used to deal with Feng'er's stepmother is estimated to be about a month's effort, and the matter was solved neatly, which was really fast enough.
But at the same time, it also proves that her father Qin Ping is still very attentive to her daughter.
Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled, he was quite happy in his heart, seeing that nothing was written on the back of the letter, he put it away, turned his head and saw Zhao Mo thoughtfully, so he asked him, "What are you thinking?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "It's nothing, I just think it'...... The relationship between my cousin and Mr. Wu's brother is really good, and he is very thoughtful for Mr. Wu. β
It turns out that he was still thinking about what he said before the letter. Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "They should have known each other when they were young, right? My cousin had been studying in my grandfather's school before he was famous in the examination, and my father had just joined the army at that time, and he still lived at home from time to time." He is used to being the eldest brother, and he always likes to take care of the younger brothers, so he should have been familiar with him at that time. β
Zhao Mo thought to himself, even if he was familiar with each other, the entanglement between Qin Hanzhen's mother and them, and the brothers and sisters could still have no suspicions, it was really very rare. Wu Shaoying has an upright character, if he feels ashamed of his senior brother and values Qin Ping a little more, it is not surprising. But Qin Ping, as the one who was wronged, not only did not blame his junior brother, but also cared about his life and career, isn't it rare? It can be seen that this cousin has a generous and benevolent temperament, and this is a good elder.
Zhao Mo didn't want to compare his father with Qin Hanzhen's father, so he forced himself to shift his thoughts: "Feng'er is your new girl, right?
Qin Hanzhen smiled: "Of course. I'll call her. β
Zhao Mo got up: "Your master and servant speak, I also have something to tell my subordinates to do, just come when you go." β
After Zhao Mo left, Qin Hanzhen called Feng'er over, told her about her stepmother's fate alone, and folded her father Qin Ping's family letter, revealing only the content about Feng'er's stepmother, and showed it to her.
When Feng'er heard this, her eyes turned red, and after biting her lip and listening, she sneered: "He deserves it!" His sister and brother don't know how many lives they have killed, and now they deserve it, but it's a pity that they didn't cut off their heads and put them to death. But when I let them suffer a few more days, my heart will be more cheerful. β
After that, she knelt down in front of Qin Hanzhen and kowtowed: "I know this is the grace of the girl, thank you for avenging me! From now on, I will only have the girl as the master in my eyes, even if the girl asks me to die, I will not hesitate!"
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly pulled her up: "I told you a long time ago, don't kneel down and kowtow at every turn, don't you remember what I said? Why did I ask you to die? I told my father that I wanted to teach your stepmother a lesson, just because she wanted to kill her life for money and was vicious, and I was afraid that outsiders would not know about it, and more people would continue to suffer." My father is an official there, and if he is not in charge of the people, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes and punish the evil and promote the good. If she hadn't violated the law of the land, even if you were my girl and didn't like your stepmother, my father wouldn't have touched a finger against her. β
Feng'er smiled and said, "I know, the prince and the girl are both good people, how can they forget their selfishness for me? The poisonous woman ended up where she is now because she committed a crime, but if the girl hadn't told me about me, and the prince would have enforced the law impartially, she wouldn't have been punished so quickly. I don't care what others say, I just remember the grace of the girl. Ignoring Qin Han's real stop, he kowtowed again before he got up and said, "I won't kowtow again in the future, but I must kowtow three times today." The girl just has to bear it with peace of mind, and I am happy in my heart. β
After finishing speaking, he retreated in a hurry, saying that he had just made an hors d'oeuvre for Qin Hanzhen, and he was not finished halfway through, so he had to hurry back and continue to make it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch up with the meal.
Qin Hanzhen had no choice but to let her go. But looking back and thinking about it, I think she is quite cute. Qin Hanzhen couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Zhao Mo was receiving the messenger of his henchman who had just arrived from Beijing, and got the news he had just heard from his father's mansion a few days ago.
He raised his eyebrows with some interest: "Lan Fusheng was suspected of poisoning Zhao Qi, so he was driven back to Liaodong? Are you sure this news is true?"
