Qin Ping's expression became a little uncomfortable, Wu Shaoying, who was sitting next to him, lowered his eyes, quietly picked up the wine jug, added a glass of wine to Qin Ping, and inadvertently made a little noise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Ping was shocked by this sound, came back to his senses a little, smiled and thanked Wu Shaoying, and then said to Niu: "Mother, how can you mention this kind of thing? I will stay in Jinling for two days at most, and I will go to Guangzhou immediately. If my mother is in a hurry, why don't I find a suitable family for my brother first? He doesn't have a woman who can take care of the backyard, and he has a niece, so he needs to marry sooner than I do. As for the housekeeping in office, my mother sent me two old housekeepers to help take care of it, so I don't have to worry about personal contacts. I am in charge of military affairs in the city of Guangzhou, as long as I am loyal to my duties, it is not good to have too much contact with other officials, but it is easy to attract taboos. ”

Niu said angrily: "When I was in the capital, I said that I wanted to find you a family business. You push and push and refuse to agree. Now that you have been released, and you still refuse to respond, is it true that you have to wait for three years before marrying? After the three-year term is over, if you go somewhere else to do it for another three years, will this matter be dragged on forever? You have to think carefully, not to mention that Brother Zi'er is your nephew, not your son, you also need to have an heir to continue the incense, and just because of Sister Sang'er's upbringing, you can't count on me! I should take care of my granddaughter, but I can't take care of her for the rest of my life. If she doesn't have a mother, what will she do when she says she will kiss in the future?! Do you want to make your daughter disgusted?!"

Zhao Mo raised his head suddenly, blinked his eyes, and quietly looked at Qin Bai.

Qin Hanzhen didn't expect his grandmother to suddenly talk about herself, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, her eyes rolled, she smiled and grabbed Niu's arm, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, don't be angry, isn't this too timely? Father also felt that grandmother's words were too sudden, and he was not mentally prepared, so he didn't know how to answer you." Just let him think it through, don't scold him. As for me, I'm still young, and I don't know how many years I've been away from kissing. If there are really people who dislike me and forget the existence of my grandfather and grandmother because I have no mother's upbringing, then why should I dislike them?"

Niu glared at Qin Hanzhen angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm talking to you Lao Tzu about serious things, don't interfere." ”

Qin Hanzhen will not be frightened by her: "Everyone is eating." If grandmother wants to talk about serious things, it is better to wait until she has finished eating, didn't grandfather teach that you don't talk when you eat and don't talk when you sleep?"

No one had mentioned this rule before, but Qin Hanzhen talked about it.

Niu was angry and funny, and when Qin Bai saw this, he persuaded her: "Okay, no matter how anxious you are, you won't be bad for a while." Shaoying and Guanglu are here, and there are two children, let them see, what has become of them? Brother Ping can't stay in Jinling for a few days, and if you are angry, it will be impossible for him to finish the happy event in these few days. It is better to let him take up his post with peace of mind, and if you carefully select a suitable person, and when you have made up your mind, you will send them to Guangzhou to take up their post and get married, and won't everyone be happy? While you and I are still in good health, it is not a bad thing to take the opportunity to go to Lingnan to see and see the scenery different from that of the Central Plains and Jiangnan. ”

Zhao Mo picked up with a very eye-catching face: "Uncle and grandfather, if you really want to go to Lingnan, remember to bring me with you." I grew up in Liaodong and had never been to Lingnan, so I was curious to see it. ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly made a joke: "I'm going there too! Guangzhou is now a treaty port, isn't it? I heard that there will be merchants and merchant ships from the West, which is very interesting." I'm going to see if they're like the books, with long blond hair and blue eyes. ”

The two children intended to gag and change the topic, but before Qin Bai could say anything, Wu Shaoying moved first. He smiled and said to Qin Ping: "It seems that my cousin-in-law has a long way to go." To take up a post in Guangzhou, we must gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, clean up the local snacks, sort out public order, and make sure that the Guangzhou government is stable and worry-free. Otherwise, if the teacher and the teacher really take the child to see the cousin-in-law, it will not be good if they are disturbed by someone who is not long-sighted on the way. ”

Qin Ping smiled reluctantly: "This is my duty, and I will naturally do my best to do it well." He also said to Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo, "It's good for you to go to Guangzhou to see the world." Since I was going to work there, I had already asked people about the situation there, and I had consulted a lot of books, and I knew that it was a very interesting place. Although the journey is long, it is also a blessing to be able to see a different and vast world. ”

This changed the subject. Although Niu was a little unwilling in his heart, when he saw Wu Shaoying speak, he remembered that he was not only a student of her husband, but also the cousin of the deceased eldest daughter-in-law Guan, who was regarded as Guan's mother's family. If she repeatedly forced her eldest son to continue the string in front of him, she would have some meaning of not taking the Guan family's family seriously, so she also shut up, thinking that she would have to discuss this matter with her husband at night. After picking a good family, it is also a good idea to send the new daughter-in-law to Guangzhou to marry the eldest son, but it is more troublesome. But no matter how troublesome it is, it is better than the eldest son being a bachelor for three years and five years.

The marriage of the second son Qin An can also be handled in the same way.

Niu secretly made up his mind.

Qin Hanzhen saw that his grandmother didn't say anything anymore, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. But my father's continuation may have become a foregone conclusion, only sooner or later. Forget it, as long as you carefully check when deciding on the candidate, and find a decent and kind woman, you don't have to worry about anything.

Qin Hanzhen quietly glanced at his cousin, who was sympathetic, and saw that his face was also full of entanglement, but he timidly refused to make a sound, and his little face was about to be buried in the bowl, and he also had some sympathy.

Brother Zi'er's situation is several times worse than her, she is just a widower, she followed her grandfather and grandmother, and after a few years of marriage, her stepmother has little influence on her, and there is no obstacle to her reputation. Brother Zi'er is a son, originally the eldest son, but he has become a woman, and his mother dug more than one pit for him before he died. Now that his father has accepted a concubine, he has continued the strings and given birth to a son, and Brother Zi'er is really embarrassed. Now that he has the support of his grandfather and grandmother, what will he do in the next two hundred years?

At this dinner, everyone only happily ate the first half, and the second half had their own thoughts, and they all didn't know what to eat. Because of Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying's hard journey, Qin Bai didn't leave them to speak after dinner, and sent them back to their rooms early to rest. On the side of his wife Niu, he has him to appease. Qin Ping gave his daughter Qin Hanzhen a look, called her to the room, and asked her about her diet and daily life in Jinling, but he was quite concerned about her.

Qin Hanzhen persuaded him in turn: "Father, it's a matter of time before you continue the string, why make your grandmother angry? You are still so young, only in your twenties, are you really a widower for the rest of your life? If you feel sorry for your mother, then marry a few years later, and if you have a new person, don't forget the old one, that's fine." ”

Qin Ping sighed, touched her head with a wry smile, and said, "Silly boy, you don't understand. I...... I have a lot to do with your mother. In the past, when she was suffering, she shared the hardships with me, but now that our family is living a good life, she has not been able to enjoy the happiness with her. If I marry a newlyweds with peace of mind and let the newlyweds enjoy their success, won't it make your mother even more wronged?"

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "You just can't get over it in your own heart, with your mother's temperament, will she feel wronged? Although she only has a one-sided relationship with the Guan family, judging from the descriptions of the people around her, she can roughly understand the true character of the Guan family, and know that the other party is kind and tolerant by nature, and even the son of the enemy He family, Brother Zi'er, can really care about it, not to mention the fact that her husband remarries?

Qin Ping's gaze wandered a little for a while, and his smile became more bitter: "You're right, your mother is ...... Naturally, I won't feel aggrieved. She's never ...... I won't feel aggrieved about this kind of thing. ”

Qin Hanzhen felt that his tone was a little strange, and was about to ask, when he heard Qin Ping say: "It's still early, I'm not in a hurry to marry again, let's talk about it in two or three years." If you want to come to Guangzhou, you should just go and see and see. Father will give you some interesting gadgets to play with. ”

It seems that Qin Ping doesn't want to discuss this issue anymore, and Qin Hanzhen doesn't say more, but just reminds him: "If my father has a way to convince my grandfather and grandmother, it's just a matter of delaying it for a few years." If you can't convince them, but you refuse to agree to marry again, if they complain about your mother, won't your mother be even more wronged?"

Qin Ping smiled and touched his daughter's head again, and talked about what he brought to his daughter instead. Although his daughter was with her grandparents and might not be long before she returned to the capital, he still brought her a lot of things. I heard that she was learning to paint, and she brought a lot of good paper, pencil and paint. Seeing it, Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but complain: "There are also a lot of such things in Jinling, and the paper and pen paints produced in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Huzhou are also good, so I really don't need my father to bring them all the way from the capital." ”

Qin Ping just smiled and said nothing.

Qin Hanzhen took into account that his father was tired from the journey and did not stay long, so he left. But it was still early, so she walked around the courtyard and considered her father's remarriage. Grandmother seems to have made up her mind, although she is not easy to ask about as a junior, but it is a matter of her own body, how can she really not ask? On the question of candidates, she still has to find a way to find out the news. If the other party is unreliable and just pretending, she can persuade her grandmother to change as soon as possible.

Turning around, she turned to the vicinity of the courtyard gate. By the dim light of the lantern hanging under the verandah, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Mo standing outside the courtyard gate, with a tangled expression, as if he was hesitating to come in. The mother-in-law who was watching the courtyard gate on the side was also entangled, hesitating whether to remind him to leave?

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly walked over: "Cousin, what are you doing here?, do you have something to say to your grandfather and grandmother?"

Zhao Mo shook his head and only said one sentence: "Uncle and grandfather went to the outer study to talk to Mr. Wu." He began to look at her in a tangled manner.

Qin Hanzhen only felt inexplicable: "Cousin, what's wrong?"

Zhao Mo quietly tugged at her sleeve and motioned for her to stand on the side to avoid people. She passed in a daze. Because they were always in the same place, the mother-in-law who guarded the door didn't say anything.

Zhao Mo pulled Qin Hanzhen to the root of the wall not far from the courtyard gate, and whispered to her: "What your uncle and grandmother said before, you ...... Don't care. You have your own good, and if someone dislikes you because of your mother's early death, just ignore them. There are still people in the world who don't care about these things and will be willing to truly love you for the rest of your life. ”

Qin Hanzhen laughed when he heard this: "Thank you cousin Jiyan, in fact, I think so too." If others dislike me, do I still want to slap the other party? Who is afraid of whom?"

Zhao Mo wanted to speak and stopped, but suddenly heard an angry roar from the other side of the wall: "Nonsense!" Both of them were startled, and listened carefully, there was an outer study on the other side of the wall, which seemed to be Qin Bai's voice.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but exchange a surprised look with Zhao Mo.
