Chapter 9: Coincidence
Qin Ping looks quite like his father Qin Bai, but he is taller than Qin Bai, his figure is a little thin, and his complexion is slightly dark, but there is also a strong bookish atmosphere between his eyebrows. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was twenty-six years old, and he was still a young man, but I don't know whether it was the customs of his dynasty or his personal preference, he had already grown a mustache. This made him look older than he really was, and there was a faint gloom on his face.
Qin Hanzhen is still the "first" time to see this cheap father, and the moment he looks at him, a sense of intimacy wells up in his heart, thinking that this is the nature of father and daughter?
She followed her grandmother Niu's side closely, looking at Qin Ping curiously, still wondering in her heart, what kind of person he would be? How deep would she know about her daughter Sister Sang? Will he believe her if she uses "amnesia" as an excuse?
I saw Qin Ping get off the horse, rushed forward to kneel down to greet his parents, and when he got up, his eyes looked at her, and his gaze was soft. Qin Han was sure in his heart.
Qin Ping glanced at his daughter, and before he could think about it, he was pulled by his mother Niu. He has been away from home for more than a year, and there has been news of his death during this period, although Niu has long known that he is safe and sound, but if she does not see the real person for a day, she will not be at ease for a day. Now that he saw his son, Niu's heart was full of distress: "You kid, why did you lose weight like this? You must have suffered a lot, right?"
Qin Hanzhen was surprised on the side, it turned out that Qin Ping was not originally like this? He lost a lot of weight? Looking at Qin Bai's distressed appearance, it seemed that Niu's words were not untargeted.
Qin Ping just smiled faintly: "Mother, don't think nonsense. It's just that the training of the forbidden army is quite strict, and it is not as relaxed and comfortable as when he was in the border city, and the son has practiced a lot, so that he has lost weight and is actually stronger than before. ”
Niu was skeptical: "Don't coax me." If you lose weight in practice, will you be like this? You must have suffered!"
Qin Ping knew that she was stubborn, so he didn't argue with her, but only asked: "Did my father and mother have a smooth journey? Have you seen your second brother in Datong?"
"I've seen it. Niu said, "We watched him take the He slut off with our own eyes." It's a pity that you left in a hurry, otherwise you can still see your second brother send the He family's daughter back to the Chen family. She became angry when she said that, "You don't know how hateful that slut is! She has done so many bad things in our family, and she doesn't tell your second brother a word when she turns around, and she doesn't even mention the death of your daughter-in-law." Not only that, but she also concealed it from your second brother and put Yinzi money in Datong City under the banner of your second brother! Your second brother's reputation has been ruined by her! Fortunately, Taisheng reported it early, otherwise your second brother would have been affected by him, and he wouldn't know what was going on. Now that this stirrger has been put off, everyone can rest assured. ”
Qin Ping was gloomy: "Since she has done such a thing, she will be abandoned, and she should be deserved." ”
Niu Shi choked and said, "It's a pity that it's late." Brother Ping, when I think of your daughter-in-law dying so unjustly, I feel uncomfortable......"
Qin Ping's eyes also turned red, he has been a husband and wife for many years, although he has gathered less and separated more, but he really has feelings for his wife. If he hadn't liked it, he wouldn't have insisted on marrying her in the first place. Ever since he learned of her death, he has never been at peace in his heart. No one knows how much he regrets it, if he could have reminded his second brother one more sentence and handed over the family letter to Qin Taisheng and sent home, maybe all this would not have happened. Clearly...... He had already discovered that there were many inappropriate things in He's behavior, and he also told the second brother, but he didn't expect that He's heart was far darker than he imagined!
Qin Bai sighed and persuaded his wife: "It's rare to see a child, why bother to say sad things as soon as you meet? It's windy outside, and you're not in good health, so it's better to go back to the car and talk." ”
Niu Shi twitched his nose: "I'm fine." Let my son meet Sister Sang and Brother Zi'er first. ”
Qin Hanzhen generously stepped forward and saluted Qin Shun and called "father".
Who knew that she was so generous and decent, but Qin Ping looked sad: "Sister Sang has grown so tall? How can she be like her father? In the past, when you saw your father, you would pounce on you and be coquettish." Dad Fang Cai talked to your grandfather and grandmother for so long, and you just stood by and watched. Could it be that you are complaining in your heart that your father hurt your mother?"
Qin Hanzhen said curtly: "No...... I just feel like I've grown up and can't ...... like I did when I was a kid," she looked helplessly at her grandparents.
Niu had no choice but to explain for his granddaughter: "Brother Ping, Sister Sang didn't complain about you. She had forgotten many things since she fell down the mountain and kowtowed. She doesn't remember what it was like to see you before. Don't blame her, she hasn't seen you for so long, and she doesn't feel strange about her life, just be closer in the future. You have to love her more, poor thing, she has no mother at a young age. ”
Qin Ping nodded with red eyes, reached out and touched Qin Hanzhen's little head, his face was full of love.
Mama Tiger hugged Brother Zi'er again and came over to see Qin Ping. When Qin Ping passed by Datong, he also saw Brother Zi'er, because he was indifferent by his biological mother He, and his treatment at home was far inferior to that of his eldest half-sister Sister Zhang, Qin Ping also felt very sorry for him, so he spoke in front of his second brother Qin An and sued his younger sister He. But at this time, he and Brother Zi'er said goodbye, and the situation was different. He killed his Yuan wife Guan Shi, and although she has been abandoned, Brother Zi'er is still her own child. Although he knew that the child was innocent, when he saw He's son, his mood was inevitably complicated.
In the end, Qin Ping just smiled faintly, accepted Brother Zi'er's invitation, said hello, and let Mama Tiger carry him down.
Then Wu Shaoying stepped forward to salute again. When he saw Qin Ping, his mood was equally complicated, but he still had sadness and shame on his face: "It was my negligence that caused my cousin, and I ask my brother-in-law to forgive me for my mistakes." ”
Qin Ping had already learned everything from Qin Bai's family letter, shook his hand hurriedly, and said solemnly: "What does this matter have to do with Brother Ying? Brother Ying is also innocently affected, why not?"
In this way, everyone has finished their salutes, and the other family members do not need to visit one by one on the side of the road. The golden elephant came to urge everyone to go, and said that he had sent someone back to the Hou Mansion to report the news, and everyone boarded the car and continued to enter the city. Qin Ping happened to get into the car with his parents and daughter, and while hurrying, he talked about some family things.
The first thing Niu asked was Qin Ping's experience after leaving Yulin. There are many secrets in it, Qin Ping briefly mentioned it, and then he didn't talk about it anymore, but said: "My son is now on an errand in the forbidden area, he is very comfortable, his boss is kind, his colleagues get along, and his subordinates are also very powerful." The prosperity of Beijing is far from being comparable to that of a border city. The Holy One was forgiving and compassionate, and cared for his son. The son felt that since his father and mother had arrived in the capital, they might as well live here. His father was originally from Beijing, and his mother's ancestral home was Tianjin, which was not far from Beijing. If you live in Beijing in peace, you can be regarded as returning to your homeland, which is cheaper than continuing to live in Mizhi. The son can also bear the joy of his knees and do his filial piety. ”
Niu said: "Although the capital is good, our family has such a big family business in Mizhi, can't we all throw it away?"
Qin Ping said: "There are also a few capable people at home, just let them watch it, every year the production in the field is exchanged for money and grain, and it is not difficult to send the caravan to the capital." If it's too troublesome, don't ask them to send it, and let the family settle it, and it doesn't hurt. We live in Beijing, so we can buy another house. The son has a share of the forbidden army, and the rewards in the palace are also very rich, enough to support his family. The son heard that his mother had been in poor health, so he took the opportunity to visit a famous doctor in Beijing, and he could feel at ease when he was cured. Father can also have a good life and recuperate, no longer have to work hard to open a museum to teach, if he is really idle, he can accept two primary school students to teach, and it is just that. ”
Qin Hanzhen was a little surprised and said, "Dad, aren't we going to live in the Hou Mansion in the future? ”
Qin Ping was stunned for a moment, touched his nose, and said with a wry smile: "Cheng Enhou says this every time we meet. This time, when my father entered Beijing, the Hou Mansion had already cleaned up the yard, saying that it was the old residence where my father lived in the past. It's just that the son thinks ...... The Hou Mansion and our family are not all the way, and they live in the same place, which is very uncomfortable. Although the son confessed his marriage to them, he could not get close to them in his heart. Because the forbidden army has its own official residence, his son lives there on weekdays and rarely goes to the Hou Mansion. During the New Year's Festival, I was free, and I happened to live for two days, which was more tiring than the errand on weekdays. ”
Niu said happily: "Of course our family and theirs are not all the way, who is the same kind of people? I want to move out to live there, but your old man always says that the house in the capital is expensive, the family does not have much money, and there is no property here, so I am afraid that you will be burdened." What's more, the house in the Hou Mansion is also the place where your Lao Tzu grew up, he has been away for a long time, and he misses it very much. I can't make him sad, can I? I had to agree to go to the Hou Mansion with him. Speaking of which, your father is also the son of the Qin family, and the Qin family's ancestral house originally belonged to him. We're not here to send people under the fence, but to live in our own house. You don't have to feel uncomfortable, either. How their family behaves, that's their family's rule. We are in our own place, we can do whatever we want, and they can't control it. ”
Qin Ping smiled bitterly when he heard it, how could things be so easy as Niu Shi thought?
Qin Bai asked his son, "How does your uncle treat you on weekdays, and what about your aunt and your cousins?"
Qin Ping replied: "Uncle treats his son very kindly, but it's just ...... My son always felt that he was not sincere. That's it, the eldest aunt is generous and upright, and it is very good to treat her son. The two cousins and sisters-in-law of the long house are also amiable, and several nephews and nieces are also very likable. During the Chinese New Year, the son met the sister and brother-in-law of the long house once, and it was not difficult to get along. But the second room is ......" he hesitated, "The second aunt has a somewhat snobbish temperament, and the lobby brother also thinks very highly of himself, and treats his son very coldly, as if his son is a poor relative who has come to fight the autumn breeze." ”
When Niu Shi heard this, his face sank: "What is it! How dare you look down on my son?
Qin Bai stopped his wife with a smile and a smile: "It's just a layman, why are you angry? They don't know how to be polite, and you have to be like them?" and asked his son, "What do you think of the Holy Lord's treatment of the Cheng'en Mansion?" Is it a favor, or is it just a face-to-face affection?"
Qin Ping was puzzled: "How could my father ask this? The Holy Lord has always been gracious to the Chengenhou Mansion. Then he hesitated, "But ......."
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked, "But what?"
Qin Ping was a little uncertain: "Since around the New Year, the saint seems to be a little colder to his uncle. I heard that in previous years, every New Year's Day, my uncle's family was the guest of the palace banquet. But this year's Lantern Festival Palace Banquet, as well as the February Hundred Flowers Banquet, the March Spring Banquet, etc., all saw the eldest aunt and two sisters-in-law enter the palace, and there was no trace of the uncle. The Hou Mansion said to outsiders that his uncle was not good, so he would be absent from the palace banquet. But the son went to the Hou Mansion and knew that his uncle was not harmed, but there were rumors that his uncle did not know why, which made the saint angry, and he went to the East Palace to ask for a meeting, but he was not allowed to enter the ......"
Qin Bai hurriedly asked: "I heard in Datong that the East Palace is sick, I don't know what is going on now?"
Qin Ping replied: "Donggong always gets sick several times a year, but for some reason, everyone says that he seems to be sicker this year than in previous years. I heard that it was an old palace man who had been waiting for him since he was a child in the palace who was suddenly ill, and he was too sad to do so. Coincidentally, the old palace people just didn't have it in the wax moon. (To be continued.) )
