Chapter 161: Eavesdropping
Wu Shaoying now lives in the outer study, and Zhao Mo also said that Qin Bai went to the outer study to talk to Wu Shaoying. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Info Obviously, this is a disagreement between the two of them, and Qin Bai scolded the disciple. I don't know what Wu Shaoying did, it would actually annoy him.
Qin Hanzhen is close to her cousin Wu Shaoying, he is the elder of the first father she met after she crossed over, and he has always cared for her and responded to her needs. In comparison, maybe she is not so close to her father Qin Ping, so she naturally doesn't want to see Wu Shaoying and Qin Bai conflict.
She was a little anxious, and hurriedly listened to the movement in the outer study, but she couldn't hear clearly. Qin Bai didn't speak loudly anymore, and across the wall, she could only vaguely hear him seem to be speaking at a very rapid pace, but she couldn't hear what he was talking about at all.
Qin Hanzhen stomped his feet and wanted to run to the study. At this time, Qin Ping came out of the courtyard, his face seemed to be a little anxious, and it seemed that he had heard the movement of the outer study. The wing room where he lived was separated from the outer study by a corridor, and the sound that Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo could hear under the wall, he could also hear it with only one more wall.
Qin Ping saw his daughter and Zhao Mo standing in the aisle, so he waved at them: "Go back to your own house." β
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly ran over and said, "Grandfather seemed to be angry at his cousin just now, and he didn't know what was going on. They're not really arguing, are they?"
Qin Ping said: "I'll go over and take a look, you go back to the house quickly, it's not your children's business." He drove her back to the yard very insistently, and wanted to send Zhao Mo back.
Zhao Mo said with a very eye-catching face: "Uncle Cousin, go to the outer study and have a look, I'll go back to the hospital, it's just a two-step road, I don't have to pay you to send it." As he spoke, he walked towards the gate of his own yard.
Seeing this, Qin Ping nodded with satisfaction, and when he turned around and saw that his daughter was still lingering at the courtyard gate, he glared at her directly, and waved her back to the house. It wasn't until he saw Qin Hanzhen running into the door of the wing room that he turned around and headed towards the outer courtyard with satisfaction. As soon as he left, Qin Hanzhen felt out of the door again, hid at the courtyard gate and probed his brain, and didn't dare to go out for fear of being discovered by Qin Ping.
The main room also heard the movement, and Mama Hu lifted the curtain and came out and asked, "What's going on ahead?" β
The mother-in-law guarding the door hurriedly trotted over. She is a person who has experienced it from beginning to end, although she doesn't know why the old man is angry, but she always knows who he is angry at.
Qin Hanzhen turned around and caught a glimpse of the doorkeeper entering the house, and Mama Hu also followed in, and immediately jumped out of the courtyard gate and ran lightly to the outer courtyard. On the way, she met Zhao Mo waiting there at the doorway leading to the outer courtyard, and the two glanced at each other and smiled at each other very tacitly.
Zhao Mo whispered to Qin Hanzhen: "Go directly to the outer study, let my cousin see it, and he will drive us back again." We went through the path on the side of the house and eavesdropped under the back window of the outer study, so that no one would see us. If the momentum in the house is not right, let's go around to the front to persuade peace, which is a two-step matter. β
Qin Hanzhen is very clear about the layout of this house, but in terms of understanding the terrain around the outer study, he is naturally not as good as Zhao Mo, who comes here every day. Listening to his idea, she immediately gave a thumbs up and praised his wit.
The two of them sneaked into the back of the outer study in the dark, where there was a small passage about two feet wide from the wall, and a row of phoenix tails was planted along the root of the wall, and there was about a foot and a half of space to allow the two young children to hide in. It was summer now, the back window was open, and they hid under the windowsill, just in time to hear the conversation in the outer study.
I don't know what the people in the house said in front of them, but now Qin Bai obviously scolded his eldest son Qin Ping instead: "...... Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me? I will only accompany you on this trip because he is afraid that you will go south alone, and with your children, and it will be the first time you have taken the canal and waterway. Who would have thought that he would have gone to the post with you? He studied hard for all these years, worked as a supervisor for several years, and then passed the Jinshi examination, and now he is ranked among the top two, and it is the season to stay in Beijing and wait for an official, so how can he follow you to the post and be a staff member for you? Wouldn't this delay his future? Don't say anything about being familiar with government affairs, if it would be more convenient to be an official in the future, when he left Beijing to study, he had already experienced it in the Suide Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and there was no need to be a Jinshi and then temporarily cramm. If you had told me earlier in the letter, I would have scolded him and returned to the capital. I spent several years teaching a student, and I took him with me to guide me attentively, but I didn't want him to be a master for my own son!"
Qin Hanzhen was surprised to hear it under the windowsill. What did my grandfather mean by this? Did Wu Shaoying want to go to Guangzhou with Qin Ping to take up his post and be Qin Ping's master? Impossible, right? She still thought that Wu Shaoying was just going to follow his teacher Qin Bai as before, run errands for him, and run errands for him, and when they returned to the capital, he would also become an official. How can a person who has the fame of being a second-class jinshi still serve as a staff member? This is also a waste of talent!
Inside the house, Qin Ping honestly admitted his mistake to his father: "The son really shouldn't hide his father, Shaoying naturally shouldn't be a staff member for his son." He probably just wanted to go to Lingnan to have a look, he used to like to travel around, walking with his son, just to borrow a convenience, not really self-surrendering identity and people to the meaning of the curtain. The so-called being a staff member for his son is actually just a joke. The first time his son was released as an official, he was still the head of the military and political affairs of any place, and he didn't know if he could do it, Shaoying just wanted to give his son an idea. When his son is familiar with affairs, he will go back to the capital. β
Qin Bai still couldn't understand: "If you really lack someone to come up with ideas, you should talk to your cousins before you leave Beijing, and ask them to help invite two masters who are familiar with the affairs of the military and political yamen to accompany you, and you don't have to worry about no one to guide you when you take office." What can Shaoying know? He has never really been an official. What's more, when he was staying in Beijing to wait for the official, he was out of Beijing at this time, and when he returned, what else could the officials wait for him? Wouldn't that be a mistake for his future?
Qin Ping smiled bitterly and glanced at Wu Shaoying, who bowed his head and was silent, and honestly compensated his father: "It's my son's negligence." β
Wu Shaoying raised her head and said, "Teacher, I don't blame my cousin-in-law." He persuaded me not to leave Beijing early in the morning, but I insisted on going my own way, refused to listen to my cousin-in-law's persuasion, and insisted that he take me on the boat. He was afraid that the teacher would blame me if he found out about this, so he never mentioned it in the letter, thinking that as long as he could persuade me to dispel my mind before arriving in Jinling, he didn't have to worry that the teacher would be angry. If I don't go to Guangzhou with him and return to the capital in Jinling, it won't be long in coming. β
Qin Bai asked him sharply: "Then you can change your mind now?" But if you want to return to the capital in Jinling and continue to wait for the official?!"
Wu Shaoying opened her mouth, and lowered her head in silence.
Qin Bai couldn't still see his thoughts? Seeing this, he only became more angry: "What are you thinking? What are you thinking about after working hard to gain fame and fame? If you have the heart to do practical things, take the official from the ministry, and become a parent yourself, isn't it better than being a person behind the scenes? Although your cousin-in-law is not as smart as you, he can be regarded as having experienced a few years in the officialdom, and he has not yet reached the point where he can't do anything without his staff, and there is really no need for you to sacrifice your future to fulfill him!"
Qin Ping, who was said by his father to be not as smart as Wu Shaoying, touched his nose, lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.
The two of them didn't dare to speak, so Qin Bai simply made a decision for Wu Shaoying: "It's decided, Brother Ping will take office, Shaoying will stay in Jinling to accompany me, and I will take you to meet a few people and expand your contacts." When you return to Beijing, let Zhonghai in the long house help you dredge and find a good gap. If you want to go out, you can first think of a suitable place for yourself, do you want to be closer to your hometown, or do you want to find a rich county and county? If you don't want to go out, find an interesting seat in one of the six departments, and slowly start from the low. Although the promotion will be slower, there is our family to take care of you in the capital, and I am not afraid that you will suffer. β
Qin Bai, as the division commander, made a decision for Wu Shaoying, no matter what Wu Shaoying planned in his heart, he couldn't violate his orders, so he had to silently agree.
Qin Bai saw that Wu Shaoying was willing to be obedient, so he was a little angry, but he didn't forget to beat and knock more: "Don't mess around like this in the future! Since you have won the Jinshi and there is no shortage of talent, how can you do something to be worthy of your hard work for more than ten years! If you want to enjoy the mountains and rivers, there will be opportunities in the future." β
Wu Shaoying bowed his head and saluted. Qin Bai turned to his eldest son again, and Qin Ping hurriedly said: "I still have to have my father go out to convince Shaoying." It's great that he's willing to change his mind, and his son can breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that the son has a shortage of friends at hand, if the father has a way, please help pick two people. β
Qin Bai sighed: "When you left Beijing, you sent a letter over, and I saw who the companions you mentioned were, so I knew that you didn't find a suitable staff, and it would be inconvenient when you took office, so I asked Huang Jincheng and Huang Yan as early as possible." He was also born as a guard, and was transferred to a local military attachΓ©, and there were quite a few capable people under him. He has promised to lend you two people, and I will take you and Shaoying to meet him tomorrow and bring those two back. With their help, any difficulties you had when you first took office can be solved. But they only help you for a year, and after a year, you will return to Huang Yishi's side, depending on your own ability, whether you can find someone who is willing to help you. β
Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying responded together.
Qin Bai was relieved to leave the outer study, and Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. The two of them sat down on the circle chair behind them, wiped their sweat, and couldn't help laughing when they saw each other doing the same thing.
Qin Hanzhen hid under the windowsill and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She looked back at Zhao Mo, because the light was too dim, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, they could only recognize the general outline, and naturally they couldn't see the shape of their mouths. Because he was worried that the loud voice would be heard by the people in the house, when Zhao Mo spoke, he said directly to her ear and said in a breathy voice: "Let's go back, uncle and grandfather have returned to the main courtyard, in case I look for you, you are not in the house......"
Qin Hanzhen only felt that his ears were wet and hot, his little face was slightly red, and he nodded quickly, and gestured for him to turn around and go first, and followed casually. The two of them were working hard to change direction and were about to climb out of the crossing, when they suddenly heard Qin Ping's words from the house: "Shaoying, in fact, why do you insist on going with me to the post? You really don't have to do this for our family." β
