Chapter 12: Stumbling
After Mr. Qin finished talking with Wu Shaoying, he returned to the main house. www.biquge.info At this time, Qin Hanzhen had already finished today's homework, and when he saw his grandfather coming back, he hurriedly held all the big characters in front of him and asked him to check them.
Old Mr. Qin nodded while watching. In fact, the words written by the granddaughter are almost the same as those written yesterday, but a few words with complicated strokes are smaller than yesterday, and they seem to be about the same as the size of other words, which is a rare progress, but we must continue to work hard.
Wu Shaoying took the words and glanced at them a few times, and then praised them without words: "It's so well written! Is it all written by Sister Sang? Why is it so well written? When I saw Sister Sang'er's words last time, it wasn't so good, but it really benefited a lot." ”
Old Mr. Qin snorted: "Don't spoil her too much, she is far worse than when you were a child." If you praise her too much, beware that she is proud and complacent, and she will not benefit from it again, what good will it do her?"
Wu Shaoying said with a smile: "The students really think that this character is well written. Sister Sang is a girl, no better than a few students who have been studying since childhood. She had been seriously injured a few months earlier, and she had forgotten all about her past before picking up her books again. In this way, isn't it only a few months of learning to practice the characters so well? ”
Old Mr. Qin smiled and shook his head.
Wu Shaoying praised Qin Hanzhen a few more words, and clicked a few words that were particularly well written, before returning the paper to her. Qin Hanzhen actually knew in his heart that his cousin specially praised her, but the words he pointed out were indeed masterpieces in his mind, so it can be seen that he was not boasting. There is no pride, but she is happy to hear it.
When she had done her homework, she put away the pen and paper. Now it is clear that her grandfather brought Wu Shaoying over to talk to her grandmother, so of course she has to listen carefully.
Niu glanced at Old Mr. Qin: "You teachers and students have just been hiding in the house and talking for a long time, what did you say?
Wu Shaoying smiled and nodded, there are really many things he said to the teacher that are not suitable for telling the teacher, but he can't say it clearly, and he will be scolded if he says it.
Old Mr. Qin was obviously used to dealing with his wife's tricky interrogation: "I didn't say anything." After the beginning of spring next year, we will set off for Datong. I thought about our family's old and small, and there was no one to help on the road, so it was inconvenient, so I asked Shaoying to go with us, and we could take care of each other. ”
Niu didn't really want to interrogate her husband, she just made a gesture, so as not to look too weird, listened to her husband's words, but couldn't care about anything, and looked at Wu Shaoying with surprise: "Is this true? That's great! I've been worried for a long time." Our family went to Datong, and we did some chores along the way, and there was a family of three Mohu, but when we needed to communicate with people, we couldn't let our subordinates come forward. If the old man has to come forward every time, he doesn't know if his body can withstand the toss. Shaoying can go with him, but it will be a great help!"
Wu Shaoying said with a smile: "If there is something, the disciple will obey it." If my wife has a dispatch office, she can just call me. ”
Niu suddenly smiled toothlessly.
Because of the trip in the next spring, Qin Hanzhen asked Mr. Qin: "Who are we going to Datong?
Mr. Qin replied: "Your grandmother and I, take you, and each of you will bring a few more people to wait, your Uncle Hu's family must go, others may not be, the family always has to keep someone to watch the house, and the affairs in the field also need to be taken care of." ”
Niu said: "Leave the affairs of the family to Liu's account, he is old, and he will suffer from walking so far." Let his daughter and son-in-law stay and take care of him, and Hu Er will go with us. You can't let Mohu and his son do all the chores, and they don't even have anyone to help run errands. Sister Sang wants someone to call here, bring Zhang's mother, or you can bring Brother Hun with you, so that the child can also go out to see the world. You have someone next to you who listens to errands, and it's cheap to get into trouble. ”
Old Mr. Qin nodded: "That's it, it's just that there is only one person by your side, Mama Hu, it's too little." Sister Sang should also add more talents to her side. It's better to go out than to be at home, and if you have something to do, you can still go to the village to call someone to help, so it's better to be prepared. Not to mention anything else, our family must take a car, and every car must have a reliable driver. Hu Da doesn't go, Hu Er can't be separated. Hu Yong can be counted as one, but Brother Hun has never learned this skill. ”
Wu Shaoying hurriedly said: "There are still a few people who can be called by the students, and there are a few people missing from the teacher, so just open your mouth." ”
Niu smiled: "You have manpower, just bring enough for your own use, don't worry about us." I know you have people under you, but you can't take them all with you, right? You have just recaptured your family business, is it possible that you will not leave a few reliable people to guard it? Our family could not be more peaceful, but anyone with different intentions would have been cleaned up a long time ago. Even if our husband and wife have not been at home for a year and a half, we are not afraid that someone will rebel. But in your hometown, none of those clansmen are honest, otherwise they would have taken away your family's property back then? You are okay here, you are gone, and if you don't leave a few people to come down to the town, I am afraid that they will take back all the property in the blink of an eye. What are you going to do when the time comes? Will you come back and fight with them? If you have such idleness, the old man of Zhizhou will still be annoyed by you!"
Wu Shaoying smiled a little wryly.
Old Mr. Qin said: "Don't worry about this, the golden elephant will definitely not bring only one entourage when he comes to find us, if you need someone, just leave it to him." If you give an order, not only the coachman, but also the maid and the maid, he will arrange it for you, and you don't even have to worry about the carriage, and he will also handle the road guide, water, accommodation and other things along the way. ”
Niu glared at him: "How can we let him help?!"
"What's not to do?" Old Mr. Qin smiled, "He is my old servant, and he came here on the order of his sister-in-law, which is originally his business." Could it be that my brother begged me to go back, and asked me to worry about the trivial matters along the way? My good wife, why waste the people and things that can be used? Even if you don't tell me, he will do it. Rather than wasting his own effort, money, and effort, there may not be a good arrangement on the road, so it is better to save worry and effort. ”
Niu's eyes widened: "You said it lightly, what if you arrive in the capital, what if your good brother shows off this matter? What if he says that you have received his favor, you will repay his favor?!"
Old Mr. Qin smiled lightly: "He doesn't have that face yet, and he does favors with such a trivial matter." Besides, he begged me to go back. In the past few days, I have also asked Jin Xiang a few times, whether he is my sister-in-law's person, although he refuses to give me the truth, but it is not that he has not told the truth. My brother asked me to go back, apparently because he wanted me. He won't say anything I say before he speaks. Even if I didn't say yes to him in the end, he wouldn't tear my face with me and make a big deal about it. He is a dignified and graceful marquis, and this kind of bearing is still there. ”
Niu Shi said angrily: "I don't care if I don't have any temperament, if I call him such a bastard joke, saying that I have the benefits of his family and stain the light of his family, I will be angry to death." ”
Old Mr. Qin blinked: "This can't be done." My wife and I have become a family, and we have already benefited from his family, and we have been stained with the light of his family, where can we still be counted?"
"You-" Niu couldn't help blushing, angry and funny, "What are you talking nonsense in front of the juniors?!"
Qin Hanzhen turned to Wu Shaoying, as if he hadn't heard anything: "Cousin, when are you going home, and when will you come to meet us?"
Wu Shaoying also smiled cooperatively and said, "I'll go back to Wubao tomorrow, and I'll come back after fifteen." What kind of gift does Sister Sang want? Next year, my cousin will bring it to you?"
Qin Hanzhen smiled sweetly and said, "I don't want anything I want, I just don't know what specialties Wubao has, just let me see it." ”
Niu Shi looked at his granddaughter and Wu Shaoying shyly, cleared his throat, and glanced at his husband: "What are you doing? ”
Mr. Qin smiled silently, got up and poured a bowl of red date tea for his wife.
If it was usual, Wu Shaoying would definitely be the first to perform, the teacher has something to do, and the disciple will obey him. But now the teacher clearly wants to be attentive to his wife. What did he do at such a time?
He continued to talk to Qin Hanzhen very seriously: "Sister Sang, have you ever thought about what kind of people you want to add?
Qin Hanzhen also replied to him with a serious face: "I didn't think about this. My grandmother said that she would find one or two people in the village and asked me if I had any little sisters who had a good time. But I always felt that I was a little friend who was playing together, and it seemed a little reluctant to ask her to be a girl for me. Besides, we're going to leave soon, and we're taking the new girl ring with us, wouldn't we want her to be separated from her family?"
Niu interjected: "How do you say this? You can come to our house to be a girl for a few years, but their blessing is not to ask them to sell the death contract, and they can't turn over as slaves and maids for a lifetime, and they can still be wronged?"
Qin Hanzhen remembered that Cui'er was also hired to do things for a few years, not to sell herself, so she was not as resistant as before.
Wu Shaoying smiled and said to her: "Sister Sang is kind-hearted, and she can't bear to let the little sisters be separated from their families, so it's okay." I have two other people there, both of whom have no father or mother, and who have sold their death deeds. I can't use it for a while, so I might as well give it to Sister Sang. I see that they are very honest, and they are also clever, and they have traveled far and wide outside, and they have some knowledge, but they are a little wilder. If you can be trained by your teacher and wife for two years, you should be able to do a great job. Sister Sang also has two more helpers in the future. ”
Qin Hanzhen was stunned, and Niu Shi hurriedly said: "How can this be made? ”
Wu Shaoying said: "I don't have a shortage of people to call there, what do I want so many people to do? If it weren't for the pity of these two people, I wouldn't have taken them in." Besides, the teacher plans to use the manpower sent by the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, and it is better to find a reliable and loyal slave after arriving in the capital. Sister Sang is a girl, how can there be people with different intentions around her? Even if there is really something available, she should look at it coldly for a year or two before she can get close. ”
Old Mr. Qin was suddenly solemn and nodded at his wife, and when the Niu family saw this, he no longer objected.
Mama Tiger smiled and lifted the curtain and walked in: "Master, madam, it's time to set up dinner, is it in the main room?"
Niu Shi hurriedly said: "Just put it outside." Mama Tiger turned around and went out again.
Wu Shaoying got up and went out to help with the cooking, Qin Hanzhen saw this, and hurriedly went out, wanting to find an opportunity to say a few words with him, but he heard Niu Shi asking Mr. Qin in a low voice behind him: "Let me ask you, do you believe in the Golden Elephant, do you believe in your brother, or do you believe in your sister-in-law? Didn't you get engaged to your good sister-in-law? Although I later retired, if it weren't for me, maybe you and her would have become husband and wife, where could you still be cheaper than your brother?" Is it possible...... You still miss her?"
Qin Hanzhen stomped under his feet and almost fell forward.
