Zhao Mo already knew that the Qin family's three rooms had a few new properties in the south of the Yangtze River, some of which were newly given by the emperor this year, some were divided into families, and some were the dowries of the old lady of the Ye family in the old years, and no one took care of them for many years, leaving only the deed sandwiched in the items in the C-shaped warehouse, which was returned to Qin Bai by the long house.

After Qin Bai's family settled down in Jiangning, they planned to inspect these industries in person or send someone to inspect them, at least to find out the situation of the industry, calculate the accounts, let He Xin handle the handover smoothly, and if necessary, re-plan the future business direction, and so on. Qin Bai once ordered the chief steward Zhou Xiangnian to send people to various industries to inform, but because there were many things, he had not sent anyone to take over these industries for the time being. Now that everything has calmed down, and there are still two months left before the end of the year, it is just the opportunity to take this opportunity to patrol all the industries.

Qin Bai couldn't rest assured that his old wife and granddaughter would be relieved, so he planned to let Zhou Changnian take He Xin to go around the country. Qin Hanzhen has been following his grandfather for a long time, so he naturally knows the news. She also knew that the schedule for this trip was not tight, and if Zhao Mo wanted to travel with him for a few days, it would be no problem. With the guidance of staff from various industries, the problem of guidance is solved first. Zhou Changnian and He Xin are both stable and talented people, plus a plum who is familiar with Zhao Mo, which is enough to ensure the smooth journey of Zhao Mo.

To be honest, if Qin Hanzhen couldn't go out freely by herself, she would have wanted to go on a trip with her. Although the weather is cold, after all, it has not yet reached the coldest time, holding the hand stove, wearing a cotton jacket, and someone taking care of the food and accommodation all the way, it can still be carried by it. A little later, it won't be very appropriate.

Zhao Mo heard Qin Hanzhen list a list of benefits of traveling, and he also made up his mind. The two ran together to tell Qin Bai about it.

Qin Bai was indispensable, and he also noticed that Zhao Mo had been quite bored recently. Unlike Qin Jian, Qin Jian still has to put more thought into his homework, after all, he will be selected for the imperial examination in the future. Zhao Mo doesn't need to take the imperial examination, as long as the homework is about the same, it is more about learning the truth and opening his mind. Qin Bai was very much in favor of Zhao Mo going out for a walk and looking at the world outside. Anyway, there are his own stewards and servants to accompany him, and Zhao Mo himself also has an entourage to wait, and he is not going to a remote place, it is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it must be safe and sound along the way.

Qin Bai called Zhou Xiangnian and Zhou Changnian's brothers, told them about Zhao Mo's going to accompany him, and ordered them to help pack up. As long as Zhao Mo eats well, wears well, lives well, is safe and sound, and has no headache and brain fever, they don't have to pay attention to other things. Zhao Mo has his own entourage to wait and protect all the way, and he himself is also a smart and stable child, who knows what to do and what not to do. Qin Bai intended to give him the maximum freedom, so that after he arrived in various places, he could move freely without being constrained by the servants of the Qin family.

The brothers of the Zhou family took the order and left, and soon called He Xin and Zhao Mo's entourage to discuss what preparations should be made along the way. Zhao Mo went to the backyard with Qin Hanzhen and explained the matter to the Niu family. Qin Jian also needs to know that there will be a voice.

Qin Jian was so envious that he was dying of envy. He complained to Zhao Mo: "The two of us have always been good, if you want to go to other places to play, why don't you count me as a part?" You still travel with our Qin family's servants, and you don't even tell me in advance." ”

Maybe it was because he had just made a travel plan, Zhao Mo was in a good mood, and said to him with a smile: "The third cousin persuaded me, I think it makes sense, so I went to ask my uncle and grandfather." My uncle and grandfather agreed, and I immediately went to report to my uncle and grandmother, and the next person to know the news was you, and there was no delay. You weren't at home before, and you didn't know which brother you were looking to play with, so how can you blame me for not telling you in advance? I didn't know beforehand. ”

Qin Jian felt a little guilty when he said it. These days, because he met a few compatible clan brothers, he went out for recreation every day, and he did snub Zhao Mo's friend. He apologized to Zhao Mo: "I'm sorry, I should have called you to go out to have fun." Are you thinking about going out because you're too bored to stay at home?"

Zhao Mo said: "Not really. I heard from my third cousin that my uncle and grandfather were going to send people to inspect several new industries in Jiangnan, so I thought of going out with them. You don't have to feel sorry for me, it's rare for you and your brothers to get together, but I'm an outsider, it's not easy to get involved, Brother Ning stays in the house to read, or accompanies his uncle and grandmother and third cousin to talk. ”

He looked at Qin Jian and smiled gently: "You don't have to feel sorry, there will always be a time to come back to Jiangnan to play in the future." You are different from me, and I don't have to take the imperial examination, my homework is almost enough, but you have to rely on the imperial examination to get in, how can you be like me, drop your books, and just leave?"

The title of Marquis of Cheng'en in the long house is not hereditary, but demoted according to generation, and when Qin Zhonghai inherits it, it should be reduced to Cheng'enbo. There is no knighthood below, that is to say, Qin Jian cannot attack the knighthood. If Qin Zhonghai has made any contributions in office, there is still hope that the original level will inherit the previous generation. But whether there is a title of foreign relative, whether there is or not, is not of great significance to the Qin family, but because of its existence, it restricts the development of the children of the Qin family in their careers. Therefore, Qin Jian was destined to take the right path of the imperial examination. If he can't get ahead, the Qin family may have to decline. He is the eldest grandson, and he has been well aware of the responsibilities on his shoulders since he was a child, and many times he can't be willful.

Qin Jian sighed, and finally accepted the reality that he had to watch his friends go out to play, but he could only stay at home and study hard. However, he also made a request to Zhao Mo: "I heard that Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou and other places have many special products, which are difficult to buy in the capital." I'll go back and make a list and give you the money, and you must buy it for me, so that I can send it back to the capital." ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "What's so difficult about this? You just have to make a list." ”

Speaking of shopping, Zhao Mo turned his head and asked Qin Hanzhen again: "What does the third cousin want?"

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "Suzhou is famous for Suzhou embroidery, right? Hangzhou is the West Lake, I remember that the lotus root flour produced in the West Lake seems to be good, and now it is the season." Both of these places produce fine silk and tea, and there are still some pastries and sweets in Suzhou? By the way, there is also Song Jin. Needless to say, Huzhou is naturally pen and paper. Matsue is cotton. Hey, I can't think about it for a while, so it's better for you to watch it, Cousin Zhao. If something is good and easy to carry and preserve, bring some back to me. It's okay to eat delicious things, and I'm quite interested in the food from all over Jiangnan. ”

Zhao Mo smiled when he heard this: "Okay, then leave it to me." ”

Since he wanted to ask Zhao Mo to bring gifts, Qin Hanzhen naturally had to prepare silver for him, and he couldn't rely on him to pay for it himself. This thing is also easy to do, Qin Hanzhen brought some pocket money with him. However, considering that there are many valuable items among the specialties in various parts of Jiangnan, Qin Hanzhen is a little skeptical that his dozens of taels of private houses are enough. She returned to him a large box of silver tickets that Zhao Mo had stored in her, and by the way, she took out fifty taels of silver from her private room and put it in.

Zhao Mo accepted the box, but returned Qin Hanzhen's private room. He said, "I want to give a gift to my cousin, how can I ask my cousin to give her money? ”

Qin Hanzhen insisted: "If you don't accept it, then I don't want what you bought." I asked you to buy it, and there's no reason for you to pay out of pocket. I don't know if it's enough money, so I'll make up for it when you come back. Cousin doesn't have to feel sorry for it, it's a big deal that you can buy me more high-quality, fresh and fresh specialties. ”

Zhao Mo was silent for a while, but finally changed his mind and accepted the fifty taels of silver. Naturally, he wouldn't let Qin San's cousin suffer.

Qin Hanzhen saw that he had received the money, and he immediately became happy. Qin Jian watched silently, thinking in his heart how much pocket money he still had on hand, did he need to ask the third uncle and grandmother to borrow some first? Unfortunately, he often went out with his clan brothers for recreation recently, and the expenses were a bit large, otherwise there would be no need to be so troublesome.

When Qin Jian quietly went to find the Niu family to borrow money, the Niu family was looking at the accounts with Mama Hu. Listening to his squirming request, Niu couldn't help laughing: "I thought it was a little bit bigger, but it was just borrowing some silver, what is there to be embarrassed about? Although our two rooms are separated, we can't write two Qin characters in one stroke, and we have always had a good relationship." Why should you be polite to your uncle and grandmother?"

After speaking, she ordered Mama Hu to fetch a hundred taels of silver, and asked Qin Jian: "Is this enough?" If it is not enough, I will add more. ”

Qin Jian hurriedly said: "Enough is enough." When the flowers are finished, I will come to the third uncle and grandmother to borrow them. After receiving the money, my heart was much more stable, and I saw a large piece of words on the account book in Niu's hand, densely packed, and I didn't know what it was, so I was a little curious: "Is my uncle and grandmother taking inventory?"

Niu said with a smile: "Your third uncle and ancestor bought a new house in Jinling City, saying that they would move in after the next year, so that it would be convenient to see the lights in the New Year." The house is still being renovated, and some furniture and utensils need to be added. This account was sent by the outside account office, and I saw that the silver was spent a little too much, so I asked for the details to come and see it. ”

She rubbed the corners of her forehead with a little headache: "I didn't expect to add so many things to a new house." Just looking at the list gives me a headache. I can buy another mansion of this size with all the money I spend, and it's really troublesome. ”

Mama Hu smiled: "If Mrs. feels that her eyes are tired, why don't you ask my sister to come over and help me watch?" My sister has learned arithmetic very well, and the inventory is very neat. ”

Niu nodded: "Then let her come." ”

Qin Hanzhen came soon, took the account book and looked at it carefully, and his face showed a puzzled look: "This list is not wrong, right? This is the things to be added to the new house in the Confucius Temple? These things are enough to decorate three houses! Is there a ghost in the account room?!"
