After Qin Hanzhen's family passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to the weather conditions, they looked at the imperial calendar again and booked a trip on August 19. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info After the date is set, all the preparations are done. The cars and boats to be used along the road, the male and female servants who followed the men and women who went out to wait, and the dots on the road for the sharp, overnight and other places, were also sent out one by one. Needless to say, the luggage is all packed. Because of this trip, it is likely that they will not return until after the winter, so they also brought winter clothes, hand stoves, and so on.

However, in addition to all the preparations, they still had to solve one thing, and that was to entrust Brother Qian'er to the care of the clansmen.

Qin Hanzhen proposed to his grandparents that the plan of leaving Brother Qian alone in Qinzhuang this time as a family trip was a drill, so that everyone could get used to the situation when Brother Qian lived alone in the clan after the family returned to Beijing in the future. If there is anything that is not well arranged, it can also be checked and filled in time. Qin Bai and Niu took her advice. However, since the new ancestral house belonging to their house had not yet been built, and only the framework had been erected, they temporarily sent Brother Qian to the fourth room.

In fact, Zongfang was also very enthusiastic, saying that he could help take care of Brother Qian'er, and even felt that even after Qin Bai and the others returned to Beijing, they could continue to keep Brother Qian'er at home. However, Qin Bai considered that the clan was already busy with affairs, and that there were two patients in the family, the patriarch's wife and Xiao Huang's family, the latter of whom had ostensibly been ill for several months, and there was no need to burden them anymore, so he chose the fourth room.

Qin Kewen of the fourth room is presiding over the clan study, and the youngest son Brother Zhang is even better friends with Brother Qian, and the brothers are as good as one person. Let Brother Qian move to their house, the little guy not only did not resist, but was very happy.

On the day of the move, the smile on Brother Qian'er's face hung for a day and never disappeared. Niu was still sad that he was going to be separated from his grandson for a while, but Brother Qian excitedly pulled Xia He and reminded her not to forget to move her beloved belongings to the fourth room. For example, the set of four treasures of the study room given to him by his grandfather, such as the osmanthus rabbit running to the moon and the marquee lantern that his sister Qin Hanzhen and Brother Zhao made for him, which are all his beloved things, and he rarely sees it for a day. He also made an appointment with Brother Zhang'er to play with the other party, and he must not break his promise.

Niu couldn't help but spit out to his granddaughter in private: "Look at your brother, I have no conscience, I'm still sad here, but he looks like he can't wait to leave me as soon as possible." ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandmother, when did Brother Qian say such a thing? Didn't he say that he was reluctant to you? But no matter how reluctant he is, there is no need to talk about it all the time, right? Besides, this matter has already been decided, and it has already been sad if you want to be sad." Now that he's moving to a new house, of course it's going to feel fresh. You're still here, and even if he moves to the fourth room, he'll still be able to come back to see you. When you really set off, no matter how sad he is, it's still too late. ”

Niu Shi glanced at her, and couldn't help but ask the girl next to him to help Xia He: "Lily, you go and help, remember not to leave Brother Qian'er's winter clothes." Most of our family's luggage is in the house in the city, tell Xia He that if they leave something behind, remember to send someone back to the city to get it. The weather is getting colder, but don't let Brother Qian get cold. ”

Lily pursed her lips and smiled in response, and went over to help Xia He.

Niu Shi was still a little uneasy, and asked Qin Hanzhen: "There is only one girl left in Xia He, is there too few people? Why don't I leave Yuri Baihui and them behind?"

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "You are used to their waiting, and suddenly asked them to change to serve a child, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you or them to adapt to it, right? Xia He has been by Brother Qian'er's side for several years, he is familiar with things, and he is honest and reliable, what can you not trust? Besides, Aunt Kewen is a very safe person, if Brother Qian has something, she will never stand idly by." ”

Niu sighed: "Having said that, I still can't let go of this heart. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled faintly: "You have to put it down sooner or later." It's just adaptation, we're not far away, what's really going on, whether it's to deliver a message or turn back to Jiangning, it's convenient. When we return to the capital, Brother Qian will really have to live alone. Can you still give him all the girls who are waiting for him? Besides, you also know the daily living standards of the children of our clan. If you arrange a few girls for Brother Qian'er alone, revolve around him all day long, and let him live like a real prince of the Hou Mansion, what do you think the brothers of other clans will think of him?"

Niu was silent.

Qin Hanzhen sighed and persuaded her, "Grandmother, you really don't need to worry too much. Brother Qian is much more capable than you think. When we first went down to Jiangnan, he lived alone in the Qingfeng Pavilion, and he didn't see anything wrong. Although there are elders in the long house to help take care of it, there are only him and the maidens in the courtyard. What is the situation now compared to that day? Anyway, now there is Brother Chang with him every day, and he is about to enter school, which is much better than the lonely life in the Qingfeng Pavilion. I think he's adapting well, so you might as well trust him more, right?"

Niu sighed: "I also know that I am just worrying about it. Although he is always reluctant to give up his grandson, it seems that he is left alone every time. He didn't complain a single word, but I felt sorry for him. With a wave of her hand, she turned and lay down on the Luohan bed, as if she was going to be sad for a while.

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled when he saw this, and did not disturb her, he walked out of the room, signaled Baihui Haosheng who was guarding the door to wait for Niu's with his eyes, and left the main house.

She went to the study, Zhao Mo was still practicing painting there, and had already painted several pictures, and she was quite happy to see her coming: "Cousin is here, come and see these paintings, I have already painted a few street scenes according to last year's memory." It's just that time has passed too long, and I don't know if there is anything wrong or missing. This time we revisited the old place, we just re-observed it clearly, corrected the mistakes, and maybe could draw better. ”

Qin Hanzhen sat down opposite him: "I think we have practiced painting for a year, and the progress is quite obvious, people, houses, animals, plants, landscapes, etc., have learned a lot of techniques." This time you are revisiting the old place, and it is the first time that I have combined and contrasted the content of the painting with reality, so I should be able to get a lot of experience. When I come back from this trip to Jiangnan, I want to ask my grandfather to test my painting skills, so that I can adjust my homework according to the regular process of learning painting. ”

The more she practices painting now, the more interested she is in painting and calligraphy, and she feels that she can put more thought into it. Grandfather Qin Bai was an open-minded person, and he did not restrict girls to study and learn talents, and he himself was skilled in painting, and he also collected many celebrity calligraphy and paintings. With such good conditions, it would be a pity that she didn't study hard.

Zhao Mo smiled, although he was also interested in calligraphy and painting, he did not plan to do it as a lifelong career. The idle clan likes calligraphy and painting, which seems to be a reassuring choice. He didn't mind using these skills as a shield to pass the time every day, but he didn't like it very much. It's just that Qin Han was really happy, so he also accompanied him to learn.

He put down the paintbrush in his hand, opened the painting stall, and asked Qin Hanzhen with a smile: "Is my uncle and grandmother sad about Brother Qian's move to the fourth room?

Qin Hanzhen nodded: "Her old man has been sad for several days, but she is just hard-mouthed." I think she is almost comparable to Xianglin's sister-in-law, but I am Brother Qian, and I am not happy to listen to her repeat the same thing over and over again. ”

Zhao Mo was stunned: "Sister-in-law Xianglin, who is that?"

Qin Hanzhen coughed dryly: "It's not an important person, it seems to be a servant woman, right?" By the way, Cousin Zhao." She quickly changed the subject, "My grandfather hasn't been in a good mood lately, you know? ”

Zhao Mo had already heard about it: "Because Mr. Wu has given the official position experienced in Jinling Mansion? In fact, it is not a bad thing that Mr. Wu can be an official in Jinling." Jinling was originally a wealthy mansion, and with the Qin family here, Mr. Wu was not considered to be alone, and there was also Huang Yan. Although the level of Fu experience is too low, with Mr. Wu's ability, he will rise sooner or later. It is better to stay in a familiar place like Jinling than to go to a completely unfamiliar state or county. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "I think so too. Not to mention anything else, if my cousin comes to Jinling Mansion, at least he won't suffer in life, right? This is a great benefit. My grandfather was worried that because he had used the prefect's yamen to conceal the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Prince, the prefect of Jinling seemed to complain about my grandfather. Grandfather was afraid that he would be angry with Uncle Wu, so he did not hesitate to give a special gift, and also greeted the governor and Huang Yanshi, asking them to help take care of his cousin. ”

Zhao Mo sighed: "Uncle and grandfather are really good to students. He comforted Qin Hanzhen again, "It's going to be fine." The prefect of Jinling is also a well-behaved person, how could he know that Mr. Wu is a protégé of his uncle and grandfather, and still openly embarrass him? Isn't that obviously offending people? He even has to shoot the sycophants of the official eunuch family in Beijing, and he is even more polite in front of me, how can he offend the Yongjiahou Mansion? In my opinion, my uncle and grandfather are a little concerned and confused, but in fact, things are not as bad as he thought. ”

Qin Hanzhen approached him, lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Grandfather was worried that the prefect of Jinling was now in the way of our family, so he didn't dare to say anything. As soon as we leave, he will have a black hand on his cousin, and he doesn't have to be openly embarrassed, he just needs to do something in official affairs and toss his cousin, which is enough for his cousin. My cousin is a human being, and he won't complain to the teacher because he has been wronged, wouldn't that be a loss? So I want to ask my cousin for a favor......

Zhao Mo held his breath, and the tip of his nose and the roots of his ears were a little red: "What's the help?" cousin, just say, I will definitely help you!"

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "It's not a difficult thing, I just don't know if I can find someone to do a scene in front of that prefect, so that he thinks that the imperial court is still sending people to keep an eye on him." Wasn't Li Yanchao his student? It was thanks to him that he became the acting commander of Shangyuan County, otherwise where would he have the opportunity to discover the whereabouts of the crown prince and collude with the Shu Wangfu to plot rebellion? Although the prefect did not know about it and was not implicated, he had only been honest for a few months, and then he jumped up again, which was really unpleasant for people to look at. If he thinks that the court has not completely let him go, he just has to wait for him to relax his vigilance to see if he will show his feet. ”

Zhao Mo immediately understood: "In this way, he will be busy clearing his name, and he will not care about embarrassing a newly appointed subordinate official." Maybe in order to show his heart to the emperor and the East Palace, he will be more polite to Mr. Wu. ”
