Qin Hanzhen was really curious, how could Mr. Qin go to which store to be a buddy?

Moreover, although she doesn't know her grandfather's life history, judging by his usual words and deeds, he doesn't look like a scholar born in a poor family, and it makes sense to say that he is a son of a famous family. The son of an ordinary family www.biquge.info the pen %fun %ge, where can he be raised to this point?

Grandfather is very knowledgeable, naturally needless to say, the strings of talents, lifters and jinshi he taught can prove it. In addition to the subset of classics and history, he is also familiar with various allusions in history books, and he is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If he hadn't been born into a big family, where would the average family let their son learn this? If he had time, he would have been told to study more so that he could take the imperial examination.

My grandfather was also proficient in riding. He would sometimes wield an old wooden sword in the morning and practice a swordsmanship routine, which looked like Tai Chi swordsmanship, but there were some differences. However, it can be seen that this is a way of fitness. My grandfather danced with a sword, and he was vigorous and steady. Even if Qin Hanzhen hadn't seen his grandfather fight with others, just looking at this swordsmanship, he couldn't say that he was a weak scholar who was powerless. In my grandfather's small study, I also collected some military books, formation diagrams, and the like. Qin Hanzhen once heard Mama Hu talk to Niu's family when he mentioned that his deceased father Qin Ping and second uncle Qin An both learned the art of war from their grandfather when they were young, and later became a military attache at a young age, which is not unrelated to his grandfather's teaching.

Grandfather is not only both civil and military, but also knows many things that he should not know now, such as antiques, cultural toys and the like, he is very proficient. Not to mention anything else, Wu Shaoying gave Qin Hanzhen the two seals, and his grandfather casually said their types, and he also knew how to maintain them, and he didn't pay much attention to them, as if he felt that this seal worth a few hundred taels should be a little girl's plaything, and it was no big deal. After returning home, he helped Qin Hanzhen put away the seal, that is, he casually put it on the shelf in the small study, and took it out for maintenance every month. But the problem is that although the Qin family is a big family in Mizhi County, they are not rich. A few hundred taels of silver is by no means a small amount of money for the Qin family!

Qin Hanzhen listened to his grandmother's housekeeper, and the accounts reported by Mama Hu showed that the Qin family's daily expenses for the next month were less than twenty taels of silver. Grandma Liu in "Dream of Red Mansions" said that more than 20 taels of silver is enough for their Zhuang family to live for a year. And this amount is only a month's expense in the Qin family, which shows that the Qin family is definitely not poor. Two seals, at least two years of living expenses of the Qin family, is this something that can be stored in a random place? But my grandfather just didn't take it seriously. Qin Hanzhen could only think that he was used to seeing good things, so these two seals were really just gadgets for him.

Qin Hanzhen occasionally heard her leak a sentence and a half from her grandmother's words, and it seemed that the Qin family was once very remarkable. Uncle Hu even blurted out the words "Old Hou Ye", which shows that the Qin family was at least the Hou Mansion in the past.

It's just that the Qin family doesn't know why, it seems that the family has fallen into the middle of the road. Qin Hanzhen heard Zhang's mother's occasional tone and learned that this Qin family mansion was actually originally owned by the Niu family, she was the only daughter in the family, and the family was not in Mizhi, so she inherited all the family property left by her deceased father. Even the men and servants that Old Lady Niu used during his lifetime are still staying in the Qin family to do things. I haven't heard that Mr. Qin has any industry, which is no different from the inverted door, but he is not a son-in-law, and his sons are all surnamed Qin with their father's surname.

If the Qin family used to be the Hou Mansion, why would Mr. Qin go to a shop to be a partner? Besides, Qin Hanzhen always felt that most of the princely mansions of the Hou Mansion should be in a place like the capital, and at worst, it should be a big city, so how could Mr. Qin come to Mizhi County? Qin Hanzhen was puzzled by this kind of mystery, and wanted to ask his grandfather and grandmother, but he was worried that he would commit a taboo.

Now a shopkeeper Xiao Li has come, saying that Mr. Qin once worked in his shop. Qin Hanzhen thought that maybe he could take the opportunity to find out the inside story, so he asked his grandmother, "Who is this person, and why does grandmother say that he is not a good person?"

At this time, Mama Tiger was not in front of her, and Niu Shi didn't think it was a big secret to her granddaughter, so she said it directly.

"Your grandfather was also down when he was young. At that time, we were not married, your great-grandfather was gone, and your uncle and grandfather turned their faces and did not recognize anyone, leaving your grandfather behind, and went back to the capital to enjoy happiness. Your grandfather helped me with the funeral of your great-grandfather, and also helped me suppress the men in the family who wanted to rebel, and arranged the family and outside the house, so that I could keep the family business with peace of mind even if I was a weak woman. I told him that they were both fiancés anyway, so he simply lived in our house. This house is so big, I'm afraid there will be no place for him to live? He can study if he wants to, or he can help me take care of the family business. Our family has a field and a shop, and I can't take care of it alone, so he can just help me. When I get out of filial piety, I will marry him, who will say that he eats soft rice? Who knew that he actually refused, and went to the county town to find an errand and be a partner for others, which really me off!"

Qin Hanzhen really didn't expect that his grandfather had experienced this back then. After losing his father, he turned against his brother? Is his brother a descendant? His home is in the capital? Why did he turn against his grandfather? Also, if the Qin family is really a Houmen, and the Niu family is obviously just a rich man, why did his grandfather become engaged to his grandmother?

Qin Han really wanted to ask about a lot of things, but she knew that she couldn't be too anxious, so she asked first: "Is it the Treasure Pavilion of this shopkeeper Xiao Li's house that my grandfather went to at that time, and what kind of business does their family have?"

Niu pouted and said: "His family is buying and selling antiques, so he took such a name, but it is actually just a self-inflattering value." At the beginning, your grandfather did not go to his house, but to the calligraphy and painting shop next door to his house, and at first he framed people. I don't know where your grandfather learned this craft, but he said that when he was a child, he liked to read miscellaneous books and learned some fur from others. But this is his modest statement, don't look at the little guy he was when he first entered the store, within three months, he has been supplied by the painting and calligraphy shop, saying that he can't find a second framer with better craftsmanship than him. He studied the authentic 'Su mounting'. There are only in Xi'an City, and you can meet one or two people who have learned 'Su mounting', and your grandfather may not do a good job. Your grandfather's reputation spread, and the shopkeeper was afraid that someone else would pry his corner, so he specially invited your grandfather to make an offering, and he had forty taels of silver a year!"

Qin Han was really surprised: "Grandfather can frame people? I heard that this is an extremely difficult craft to learn." "If my grandfather was a prince of Houmen, how did he learn this technique?

Niu said happily: "Your grandfather has always been smart, no matter what, he can see it, and no one can compare to him." ”

Qin Hanzhen coughed dryly. Yes, my grandmother is actually my grandfather's brain-dead fan, and it is probably impossible to ask her why my grandfather can frame the technique. She could only change direction: "Then how did grandfather get to the Treasure Pavilion?"

Niu said: "This is also a coincidence, at that time your grandfather had been working in the calligraphy and painting shop for only half a year, and one day a regular customer came and brought an ancient painting over, saying that it was handed down by his ancestors, and it was the painting of his ancestors who did not know how many generations ago, which was very precious. It's a pity that the family didn't keep it well, and it was only turned out when they cleaned the house, and the painting was no longer visible, dirty and broken. The regular customer heard from somewhere that there was a very capable pasteur who could repair the broken paintings, so he took them to the calligraphy and painting shop to try. Where did the people in the shop do such work? Or went to your grandfather, and your grandfather said, it's not that he can't save it, it's just that it's troublesome, he has seen people do it before, but he has never done it himself, so he is afraid that he can't do it. The regular customer said that it would be difficult to find a better framer, and if he did not save the painting, he was afraid that he would not be able to save it, and whether he could or not, please ask your grandfather to give it a try. Your grandfather really did it, and it took a little month of work! At that time, the whole street heard about it, and the old shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion also came to see the excitement. When he saw that the painting was in the hands of his master, the old shopkeeper asked your grandfather to make an offering in his shop. ”

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized: "So that's the case." There are also calligraphy and paintings in antiques, and the old shopkeeper wants to borrow his grandfather's craftsmanship to repair those broken calligraphy and paintings, okay?"

Niu Shi snorted: "This is naturally the idea of his fight. In addition, he also heard that your grandfather was also proficient in other antiques in addition to calligraphy and painting, and was better than the palm master hired in his shop, so he was bent on enlisting your grandfather to work in his shop. Originally, your grandfather had a good life at the calligraphy and painting shop, and he had forty taels of silver a year and a room to live in. It's just that the price of the Treasure Pavilion is higher, eighty taels a year, and he also bought him a small courtyard, and bought a small servant to wait for him. Your grandfather didn't do it for the money, but he just thought that in two years, he and I would be married, and he would marry me decently. The Treasure Pavilion gave money to the house and solved a big problem for him, so he told the old shopkeeper that he would serve as a two-store store in the future, and he would make offerings in the Treasure Pavilion, but if there were difficult calligraphy and paintings in the calligraphy and painting shop to make his move, the Treasure Pavilion could not stop him. The old shopkeeper also agreed, after all, it is not common to encounter ancient paintings in the Treasure Pavilion, and he has been friends with the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop for decades, so he still has to give this face. ”

Qin Hanzhen asked: "Then what happened later? Why did you say that Xiao Li's shopkeeper was not a good person?"

Niu pouted and said, "He's naturally not a good person." The old shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion is a kind person and also talks about benevolence and righteousness. Your grandfather worked in his shop for a year and eight months, and the guests and hosts were in harmony, and he never gave less money. Seeing that there are still two months left, your grandfather and I are about to have a happy event, but who knew that the old shopkeeper fell ill at this time, and his son came out to take over the shop, and he turned his face. Not only did he refuse to give your grandfather the eighty taels of silver for the second year as agreed, but he also said that your grandfather continued to associate with the calligraphy and painting shop, and was disloyal to the Treasure Pavilion, and demoted him from a worshipper to a man. At first, your grandfather looked at the old shopkeeper and reluctantly put up with him, but then he became more and more excessive, and even took back the house for your grandfather. Your grandfather couldn't bear it anymore and simply quit. Later, we became relatives, and your grandfather didn't go to the calligraphy and painting shop to do things, so he opened a private school at home to receive some Mengtong teaching. ”

Qin Hanzhen opened his mouth wide: "That Xiao Li shopkeeper is so stupid?" "Grandfather, an important technical talent, he actually forced people away just for a little money?

Niu snorted coldly: "Isn't he so stupid? The old shopkeeper's family business that he managed to support made his son so defeated that he was about to go out of business." If it weren't for the neighbors looking at the old shopkeeper and helping his son, I'm afraid that his son wouldn't even be able to keep the shop. The old shopkeeper has already gone, otherwise he would be angry to death when he saw his son so ruined. ”

When Qin Hanzhen heard this, he couldn't help but look out the window. The relationship is so bad that the relationship is so bad, why does Xiao Li's shopkeeper still come to his grandfather?
