Chapter 23 Check-in
Qin Hanzhen noticed in the carriage that their group seemed to have stopped moving forward, and there was no sign of re-moving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info She was puzzled, and she couldn't help but lift the curtain to look again, but all she saw was pitch black outside, only the light that seemed to be some stars in front of her, plus the dim moonlight from the clouds in the sky, she could barely see the road clearly.
What are you doing ahead? Is there someone or something you are encountering that is blocking your way? Or is there some other reason that makes it inconvenient to move on?
Qin Hanzhen probed his brain and looked at it for a while, but he didn't see a reason, but Zhao Mo noticed her actions. He rode a horse and walked beside the carriage where Niu and Qin Hanzhen were sitting, so that he could take care of it. Seeing that Qin Han was really like this, he rode over on his horse: "Cousin, don't worry, let's get to the place." There is a big village in front of me, and my uncle and grandfather may have returned to the ancestral land that they have not returned to for many years, and they sighed for a while. ā
Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "What is there to sigh about his old man's big night? Cousin, go and help me urge him." Instead of blocking the intersection and starving and reminiscing about the past, wouldn't it be better to get up early tomorrow, eat and drink enough, and then walk around, wouldn't it be more real?"
There was no need for Zhao Mo to urge, Qin Bai was not far ahead, and he had already heard his granddaughter's words. He turned back a little helplessly: "You girl, you will make fun of your grandfather." ā
Niu heard it in the car and raised his voice: "Where is my granddaughter making fun of you? She feels sorry for my grandmother and is afraid that I will be hungry!"
Qin Bai smiled dumbly, shook his head, and ordered to march to the village.
While talking, someone from Zhuangzhong came, trotted out all the way with a lantern, and after a while, he arrived in front of the Qin family and his party.
In fact, although Qin Bai couldn't help but stop when he saw the ancestral land of Qin Zhuang and remembered the past, the people around him were not stupidly waiting for him to come back to his senses. Zhou Xiangnian sent people to the village very obediently to deliver a letter, looking for the Zongfang. He asked Uncle Hu in advance about the position of Zhuang Fang and knew the approximate location of the sect. The people who come out of the village are the members of the clan who have received faith.
It was none other than Qin Keyong, the second son of the patriarch of the clan, who was in his twenties and was born with a talent. He took a few subordinates with a beaming face: "I have already received a letter saying that Third Uncle Bai should arrive in mid to late September." Since September, my father has been looking forward to you and the third aunt coming over every day, but I didn't expect you to arrive today. It's getting dark and it's windy outside, so please come into the village. ā
His tone was cordial, his attitude was friendly and respectful, and Qin Bai had a good impression as soon as he saw it. After listening to him introduce his identity, Qin Bai remembered that he was the husband of Xiao Huang's family, and paused without showing any abnormality.
Qin Keyong came on foot, and he was also diligent in leading the horse for Qin Bai. Qin Bai is an elder, and he can stand his hospitality, but he doesn't feel the need to call him a horse servant, so he only asks him to walk beside him and talk with him. Qin Bai asked how his parents were okay, and then asked his family and clan, and Qin Keyong naturally said that everything was fine. At this time, we just met, what else could he say?
Qin Jian followed, got off the horse and ran over to talk to Qin Keyong. He often saw Qin Keyong's letters from his grandmother and parents, and although he had no impression of this clan uncle in his memory, he still felt kind in his heart.
Qin Ke used him with a different kind of affection: "It's grown so big." When you came here as a child, you weren't waist tall as I was, but now you're almost as tall as I am. Looking at a table of talents, how can he look like the second brother when he was young?" Qin Jian was also happy when he heard this, although he didn't remember what happened when he was a child for a long time.
After entering the village, the first thing they saw was the mansion of the sect. A young daughter-in-law in her twenties stood on the steps of the gate, followed by several maidens, looking at the prime minister. This young daughter-in-law was born with a round face, crooked eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled, as if she was born with a smile on her face, which made people feel pleasing when they saw it. She was wearing a royal blue woven satin cotton cape, a white embroidered horse-faced skirt underneath, her hair was combed into a bun, and a pearl and phoenix were obliquely inserted on her sideburns.
When Qin Bai and the others came to the door of the Zongfang mansion and dismounted, the young daughter-in-law greeted them with a smile: "The third uncle and the third aunt are all well? The nephews and nieces are tired, right? The house has already been cleaned, just live in it." My mother-in-law led the way, and the housekeeper of the third uncle's family followed her, so let's send the luggage over for resettlement first, right? Our sect has prepared a banquet at home, and invited the third uncle and the third aunt to enjoy the light and a glass of water and wine. ā
Qin Keyong introduced the identity of the young woman to Qin Bai: "This is the nephew's wife, and her maiden name is Huang. The third uncle just told her to use her daughter-in-law. ā
It turns out that this is Xiao Huang's.
Qin Bai glanced at Xiao Huang's family, thinking that this woman looked at her capable, but she didn't know what her temperament was.
He said to Qin Keyong: "Your family has set up a banquet, I shouldn't have resigned, but your aunt accidentally contracted the wind cold on the road, and she has no appetite for the past few days." I'm afraid that if I force myself to eat, it will ruin your interest. Now that it's getting late, let's settle down first, and we will have a chance to meet again in the future. After a while I have freshened up, I will go to your father so that I may make amends to him. ā
Qin Keyong's father is Qin Bai's brother in terms of generation, but in terms of identity, he is far behind. The patriarch and his old man just have a talent and fame, and this shelf is never dared to be placed. Qin Ke said hurriedly: "Third Uncle is polite. The father just wanted to pick up the wind for the third uncle, the third aunt and the nephews and nieces, but he didn't expect the third aunt to be unwell, which was really abrupt. Third uncle, you don't have to be polite, let's go and rest first, and don't mention the apology again. As he spoke, he was going to personally lead the way for Qin Bai and his party, and motioned to Xiao Huang to go back to greet the female relatives with his eyes.
Xiao Huang smiled and walked towards the carriage where Niu was sitting. Mama Tiger lifted the curtain of the car, and Qin Hanzhen helped Niu sit up. Niu's Fang had simply changed into neat and decent clothes, combed his hair briefly, sat in the car and greeted Xiao Huang with a smile: "The first time we met, I was not good, I lost my manners, don't laugh." ā
Xiao Huang looked Niu up and down with his eyes, and there was still a smile on his face: "The third aunt is polite." You are going back to your own home, and you are not going to another house as a guest, what kind of etiquette do you have? ā
Qin Hanzhen gave Xiao Huang a salute again, and Xiao Huang also looked her up and down, and her smile remained the same: "My nephew is really born well, at a young age, I can already see that she is a beautiful embryo, and it is terrible to grow up." ā
Their husband and wife probably spoke official dialect in order to accommodate the habits of the clansmen in the capital, but Qin Ke's official dialect was very standard, but Xiao Huang's accent was a little soft, and his tone was different from ordinary people. Listening to her, Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but think of the four words "soft voice". If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have almost laughed.
However, it seems that this Huang family girl's attitude towards Qin Bai's clan is quite good. The embarrassment that grandfather was worried about shouldn't have to worry about anymore, right?
Qin Hanzhen smiled and thanked Xiao Huang for his compliment, and politely replied: "Auntie is also a beauty, I don't dare to compare with this embryo." ā
Xiao Huang was stunned for a moment, then giggled, and warmly beckoned the girls to move a footstool over, board the car in person, and get into the carriage, intending to accompany Niu and Qin Hanzhen to the accommodation together.
A living person entered the carriage, Niu and Qin Hanzhen were a little uncomfortable, but they stretched out their hands not to hit the smiling person, and besides, they were also kind enough to lead the way. Besides, Qin Bai has already mentioned that their branch is in their hometown, and it is a six-room, but it is the first in terms of prominence, so the ancestral house is built not far from the sect house, which can be said to be the largest house in Qinzhuang. Passing from the gate of the Zongfang Mansion is estimated to be a few steps away. What is there to endure at this time?
To their surprise, the carriage seemed to have gone quite far and had not yet reached its place.
Qin Hanzhen looked at Niu Shi blankly, and Niu Shi also looked puzzled. Both of them came back to Jiangning for the first time, how did they know what was going on? Could it be that the ancestral house of the sixth room was really so big that the carriage had not reached the gate after walking for a long time?
Xiao Huang's smile remained unchanged. Qin Hanzhen felt that her face was a bit like a mask.
Qin Bai also sensed that something was wrong: "Where are we going?" He clearly remembered that his ancestral house was not so far from the ancestral house. Although it was dark and he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, his memory was not bad enough.
Qin Jian also felt that something was wrong: "Uncle Keyong, are you making a mistake?"
Qin Ke said with a smile: "There is no mistake. In a while, I will take Brother Jian to the ancestral house of the sixth room. At present, we have to settle the third uncle and three aunts first. ā
Qin Bai frowned: "What does this mean? You led me there, isn't it the ancestral house of the sixth room?"
When Qin Hanzhen heard it in the carriage, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Huang: "Auntie, what's going on?"
Xiao Huang smiled and said, "Don't worry about the third aunt and niece. This is not the ancestral house of the sixth room that was renovated a few years ago, and if Cheng Enhou sent it, he didn't know the whereabouts of the third uncle at that time, so he didn't leave a yard for him. This time, we heard that the third uncle and third aunt were coming back to worship our ancestors, and we were always worried in our hearts, and we didn't know how to arrange it. Fortunately, there is still an old house in the clan, which is the former residence of other families, and now it has moved away. Our lord personally led someone to renovate the house and furnish it again, ensuring that it would not be worse than the six-room ancestral house. ā
Even if she said this, Qin Hanzhen couldn't understand it: "Why do you want to arrange another place to live? The six-room ancestral house is so big, can't it accommodate one of our people? Also, listening to Uncle Tang's tone just now, Brother Lobby still wants to live back in the six-room ancestral house, right? Why does he want to live separately from us?"
Xiao Huang smiled: "This is natural, Brother Jian is the eldest grandson of the sixth room." In the ancestral house, there is a yard for their long house and a courtyard for two rooms, but there is no room for the third room. Isn't that impossible?"
Qin Hanzhen didn't know why, just saw that her smile was unsightly, and there was an expression on her face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "How can there be no way? The house is dead, and the people are alive." Aren't we the descendants of the sixth room? Why can't we live in the ancestral house? Only one person has come back from the long house in the capital, and no one has come back from the second room, so we can't live in so many empty houses? Auntie's words are really interesting. Could it be ...... What are you hinting at?"

My stomach hurt all night, I couldn't bear it, I asked for a leave, and the second one was estimated to be very late.
