After eating, Qin Hanzhen saw the plums and the things he brought back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The harvest of plums is not much, probably because the delicious local delicacies are all covered by Zhao Mo, he only brought some Huai Yam back, saying that it is a local specialty. In addition, there are two books collected from the bookstore, one is a Jiangnan travel book written by a well-known local literati, and the other is an anonymous miscellaneous talk by the author, which collects many local folklore, anecdotes, and several local celebrity biographies, the authenticity is untestable, full of various feudal superstitions, but in the eyes of the ancients, it seems to be a little interesting?

As the result of Li Zi's first collection of books, Qin Hanzhen was quite satisfied, and after learning that he had bought Huai Yam and two books, there were still more than 800 yuan left in the previous penny. Qin Hanzhen took back the five hundred money, and the rest was rewarded to Li Zi. Li Zi stuffed her sister Qingxing who was standing aside with her backhand, and asked her to help her keep it. Both siblings were very happy.

When leaving, Li Zi told Qin Hanzhen: "The girl likes these miscellaneous books, and every time she goes to a dock, she will help you keep an eye on it." In fact, in the town today, the little one also saw a few miscellaneous books in the bookstore, but Zhao Xiaogongzi said that the things written in those books were messy and not suitable for girls to read, so let the little ones not buy them. ”

Qin Hanzhen was surprised: "Really, what are written in those books?"

Li Zi only hurriedly turned a few pages at that time, and Zhao Mo read it for a while, and understood it more clearly, but he still remembered some of the contents of the book: "There is a book written about the anecdotes of the local folk, I remember that one of them wrote that when a certain family married their daughter, they encountered someone who cheated on the marriage, and the daughter hanged herself the day after she got married, and after her death, the ghost cried in front of her parents, and her parents and their daughter's ghost worked together to catch the liar and take revenge." There is also a book, there is a play book at the back, which is the kind of talented and beautiful woman, but the words are filled in very well and very exquisite. "He has sung operas for a few years, and he has dozens of drama books in his stomach as a base, and his eyesight in this regard is still very good.

Zhao Mo didn't allow him to buy that playbook, and he still had some regrets in his heart. The story of a talented and beautiful woman is certainly not suitable for young girls to watch, but it doesn't hurt for him to keep it himself. That's a really good word......

Qin Hanzhen guessed that the ghost story had some harmonious plot, and folk vernacular novels often inevitably appeared this kind of text, so Zhao Mo felt that it was not suitable for him to read.

Qin Hanzhen thinks that she has watched countless novels and TV series, and when it comes to scripts or something, she doesn't have much curiosity at all, and she doesn't care. However, the travelogues and miscellaneous conversations that Li Zi brought back to her are quite interesting. It not only introduces many scenic spots and famous deeds in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has detailed descriptions of local specialties. She will definitely save a lot of trouble when she travels in Jiangnan with these two books. The travelogue, in particular, is plain and straightforward, but it is so engrossing that reading the words on it makes you feel like you've been to those places.

The author must have traveled to many places to write such a travelogue.

Qin Hanzhen flipped through the game, looked at it, and half a night passed. If Qingxing hadn't come over to urge her to sleep, she would still be reluctant to put down the book.

Early the next morning, the fleet left Huaiyin, and she picked up the travelogue again and continued to look. Looking at it, she suddenly had an idea.

She walked to the desk, spread out the pen and paper, and began to write a reply to Qin Jinhua.

She just comforted Qin Jinhua a few times, then stopped mentioning the topic, and instead introduced her trip to the south. The feeling when taking the boat, the scenery on both sides of the canal, what I saw and heard in Tianjin, what kind of food I ate, and the experience of the grain boat later...... And so on, she also wrote the dock soup mutton she ate last night into the letter, describing the deliciousness of the mutton soup in great detail and thoroughly, and finally directly drew a big picture of the mutton soup, which is bigger than a bowl of mutton soup.

She only learned a little bit in her painting class, but she still knows the simple white drawing technique. She painted a bowl of mutton soup, and painstakingly mixed the pigments and dyed it, making the mutton soup more realistic. After painting the mutton soup, she went to draw other dishes, and next to each dish, she had to write in detail how she felt when she tasted it.

In this way, she wrote a large stack of letters, which she could not put in the envelope at all, so she had to take a one-foot square wooden box and fasten the buckle to prevent the letter from being too thick and lifting the lid of the box.

When the next time, when Huang Jincheng sent a message to Beijing, she could take someone's tailwind express and send the letter back to the Chengenhou Mansion in the capital to Qin Jinhua.

Qin Jian also wrote a very thick letter, attached a few silk handkerchiefs, folding fans, embroidered belts, purses and other gadgets, and also packed a box, asking Huang Jincheng's messenger to send it back to the capital. He looked at the box in Qin Hanzhen's hand, and then at his own, and couldn't help but touch his nose.

He asked Huang Jincheng in a low voice: "Uncle Jincheng, does this really matter? We ask you to bring things back, will it get in the way of your business?"

Huang Jincheng glanced at him: "Do you only know until this time?" Okay, don't be verbose. The messenger I use is either an official or a letter to my own family, and the journey is slower, but it will not delay the business. You and your sister are just in passing, and I have a big box of stuff to send back. ”

Qin Jian was relieved.

Huang Jincheng laughed at him: "It's really rare, you kid also understands the difficulties of others? ”

Qin Jian protested: "Where do I have it? I have always been honest and well-behaved, and I am very obedient. Uncle Jin Cheng, don't wronged me!"

Huang Jincheng smiled but did not speak.

The letters and belongings sent to the capital were delivered. And Huang Jincheng also received a letter from Jinling here. I don't know who sent the letter or what it said. After Huang Jincheng read the letter, he stayed alone in the cabin for a long time. When it was time to eat, the soldiers came to invite him to eat, but he had no appetite.

Because of his daily dealings, his sergeants were already familiar with the Qin family's subordinates, so he spread the news to the Qin family. Qin Bai quickly learned the news, and learned that it was a letter from Jinling, so he hurriedly invited Imperial Doctor Shen to come over and discuss: "Isn't there any bad news from Jinling?

Imperial Physician Shen also heard about it, and he was wondering in his heart: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be? ”

If you want to know the answer, you can only go to Huang Jincheng. This time, he and Qin Bai couldn't wait for the boat to dock at the dock at night to rest, and at noon, under the pretext of having a lunch break, the boatman docked the ship, and the two went to Huang Jincheng's ship together and asked him what happened.

Huang Jincheng's face was inexplicable: "It's nothing, it's just that the relatives at home are a little worried, and it's not a big deal." His Highness is safe and sound, and I heard that the miracle doctor he has been waiting for for a long time has returned to his hometown and is treating His Highness. ”

Qin Bai immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I am relieved." ”

Huang Jincheng laughed dryly: "Yongjiahou, please rest assured." If Your Highness really has something, how can I hide it from the two of you?"

He personally sent Qin Bai and Imperial Physician Shen back to the Qin family's ship, and then went back absentmindedly. Imperial Physician Shen looked at his back thoughtfully, and said to Qin Bai with a chuckle: "Lord Huang's noble relative, I don't know what happened, why did he bother him so much? ”

The sum of the two fleets meant that the three of them knew the true purpose of this southward journey. In order to prevent the news from leaking, they don't even tell the truth in front of the people around them, and they have to mention the East Palace during the conversation, and they all refer to "that master" or "uncle". Huang Jincheng has always strictly abided by this rule, but he directly used the word "His Highness", how can people not be suspicious?

Qin Bai pondered for a moment and said, "As Lord Huang just said, if something really happened to that master, he wouldn't hide it from us, and there was no reason to hide it from us. He doesn't look like a foolish person, but he must have been in the hands of his relatives and friends, right? Let him go. "His relationship with the Huang family is already awkward, why bother meddling in the affairs of the Huang family again?

Qin Bai had no intention of meddling in things, and Imperial Doctor Shen was also not interested, so he went back to the cabin to play chess together.

On the day when the fleet arrived in Yangzhou, Huang Jincheng received another letter from Jinling, and his face became gloomy. The people around him could see it clearly, and they couldn't help but mumble in their hearts. Qin Hanzhen also heard the conversation between her grandfather and Imperial Physician Shen, but for a while, she didn't care about other people's affairs, because she also received a letter from the capital today.

When Qin Ping wrote this letter, he must have received the first two letters to bring back, so in the letter, he followed up and explained the latest situation in Datong.

Qin An learned that the He family was going in the direction of Linxian, and guessed that she was looking for her eldest daughter, so he also intended to take leave to chase after her. But at this time, Jin Huan came to report, saying that his youngest daughter was a little unwell, and asked the doctor to grab medicine or something, and tossed for two days, and when the child was safe, Qin An no longer had the mind to track down his ex-wife.

He sent someone to Linxian to find the Chen family to ask about the situation, just so that he could stop by to see his former stepdaughter.

Sister Zhang is not doing well in the Chen family. The Chen clan had already decided that the fetus in her womb was not Chen Xiaowei's own flesh and blood long before the He family remarried, but now that they saw that this "wild seed" was sent back to the Chen family by Qin An, how could they see her pleasing to the eye? It's just that the Chen family has decayed, and when Qin An sent his stepdaughter here, he promised to give her living expenses, so the Chen family pretended to be happy on the surface and took in the orphan girl.

But as soon as Qin An's people left, Sister Zhang'er's situation deteriorated sharply. She no longer owns fancy clothes and jewelry, and she is no longer pampered. The Chen family changed her into cloth clothes and asked her to help with the work, and she was not allowed to talk to other girls from the Chen family, let alone any upbringing, throw some cloth and thread brains, and let her practice needlework by herself.

Where has Sister Zhang ever suffered like this? She cried and made trouble, and was starved by the Chen family for two days, and finally stopped, and she was much more honest, but she looked forward to Qin An taking her back to Datong every day, and missed her biological mother again.

So, when He arrived in Linxian County, privately bribed the Chen family's mother-in-law, handed her a letter, and said that she would take her away, she agreed without saying a word.

The property left by Qin An was taken away by the Chen family, so Sister Zhang stole the jewelry of the Chen family's daughter, and climbed out of the dog hole in the back garden with the ten taels of silver that the Chen family used to buy Mid-Autumn Festival things with the Chen family who adopted her, and joined the He family, and then disappeared without a trace.
