Chapter 13 Stay
Qin Hanzhen returned to his cabin and began to write letters to his father Qin Ping and Mama Lu. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info she wrote out the doubts in her heart one by one in the letter, and reminded her father to pay attention to protecting Brother Zi'er, not to easily let him contact with unknown people in the outside world, even the subordinates in the Qingfeng Pavilion, you must be careful to beware of someone being bought by the He family. If the He family really came to the door, he would not be soft-hearted, and he would definitely not let her enter the house. If she wants to make trouble, ask Changfang to come forward and report to the government to deal with it.
Anyway, there is already a unified statement about Qin An's divorce of his wife, so there is no need to worry about losing face or not. Even if the shouting is known all over the capital, the Yongjiahou Mansion can withstand it. The He family is helpless in the capital and will not be their family's opponent. Even if she has something to rely on, the backstage is not as strong as the Qin family, and the Qin family can bully people with peace of mind.
Qin Hanzhen persuaded his father that there was no need to open up to them because he felt pitiful to He and Sister Zhang, and there was no need to give money to fund. First, the He family has silver on him, and it is no problem to make a living; second, the second uncle Qin An can help the He family in the former husband and wife relationship, but their father and daughter are not necessary, because they have a grudge against the He family. If they want to do good deeds, they can focus their money and energy on the poor who are more worthy of their help, instead of giving this poisonous woman who has killed others and can escape with her children, and has not been punished by the law!
Qin Hanzhen instructed very carefully, and wrote freely for a long time, and when he looked back after writing, he found that he had written three large pieces of paper, and he didn't know if his father would have a headache for his daughter's verbosity after receiving the letter?
Qin Hanzhen laughed a little embarrassed, thought about it, and decided to write two more pieces of paper, this time writing about what he saw and heard when he passed through Huaiyin, Huai'an and other places by boat, the scenery along the way, special snacks, interesting stories, etc., etc., even his grandmother's cow did not have a good appetite, and he pestered his grandfather Qin Bai to ask to go ashore to buy some side dishes, and he also played chess by himself, won Qin Jian three games yesterday, lost Zhao Mo two games, and so on.
In such a water, although the letter is written a little long-winded, it looks quite lively. I wonder if my father will like it?
After Qin Hanzhen finished writing the letter, he dried the ink on it and carefully sealed it in an envelope. When she was about to seal the envelope with paste, she found that the weather was too cold today, and the paste was freeze-dried, so she hurriedly called Qingxing to light the lamp.
Qing Xing was puzzled, so she took the fire fold and came over to light the lamp, and asked her: "It's not dark yet, the girl has lit the lamp so early? If the girl thinks that the cabin is too dark, why don't you open the window?"
Qin Hanzhen shook his head and said: "It's so cold outside, what are you doing with the window?" It's not that the light in the room is too dark, but the paste is dry, I want to order a lamp to bake it." ”
Qing Xing understood, lit the lamp, took the small bowl with the paste, and said while helping her bake: "I was talking to Qing Dai at Zhao Xiaogongzi's side just now, and I heard her say that Zhao Xiaogongzi planned to go to the dock with Brother Jian to take a stroll today, and after eating, you can go to the night market for a few turns." Because the weather was too cold, after the sun went down, the cold wind blew even stronger, and they dismissed their minds again, and were hiding in the cabin to talk, saying that they would visit Yangzhou City tomorrow morning. When the sun comes out, it must be much warmer than at night. ”
Qin Hanzhen was surprised: "You'll go shopping tomorrow morning, did you hear you right? We should leave early tomorrow morning, how can we go shopping?"
Qingxing said: "It seems that Brother Jian went to meet Lord Huang on the boat, and I heard Lord Huang say that our fleet will stay in Yangzhou for a day and leave in the early morning of the day after tomorrow." ”
Qin Hanzhen was suddenly surprised and delighted: "Really? Did you hear it right?!"
This is too surprising! Along the way, they have been on the road, except for when they were in Tianjin, in order to sweep the grave of the old man Niu, by the way, waiting for Huang Jincheng to come over to meet, once stayed for a day, the rest of the time was basically the day before docking at the dock to rest, the next morning after breakfast and left. Qin Hanzhen felt that the schedule was a little too exaggerated, thinking that it was only the Double Ninth Festival at this time, they were almost at the Yangtze River, and it was still early for the frozen canal in winter, so there was no need to rush so much, right? I really don't know why my grandfather Qin Bai refused to relax at all, and the grandmother Niu was unwell for several days on the road, and she was a little weak in the first two days, but their boat still did not slow down.
As a result, when he arrived in Yangzhou City, Huang Jincheng actually planned to stop here for a day?
Yangzhou is a very prosperous city, and although they only stop at the docks by the canal, it can be seen that this place is more prosperous than all the river ports that have been passed before. If you can really have a day to spare, maybe you can go ashore and go shopping?
Qin Hanzhen was pleasantly surprised, and said to Qingxing: "I wonder if your grandfather and grandmother will give you a vacation? You and your brother lived here for a few years when you were young, right? Do you still know the way? Do you want to go back to your old home?"
Qing Xing's face showed a little struggle, some anticipation, some joy, but more sadness: "Forget it, I lived here for a few years when I was a child, but the people I knew at that time probably don't want to see me now." I don't have any relatives and acquaintances who live here, and the place where I have lived is said to be the old residence, but it is actually the official residence behind the Yangzhou Mansion, and I don't know how many owners have changed. When my brother and I went back, we couldn't see anything, but we looked sad. ”
She quickly put on a smiling face and said to Qin Hanzhen: "However, if the girl wants to go around the city, my brother and I can be your guides." Although it has not been back for ten years, but Yangzhou City should not change very much, I recognize the direction of the road, I also know which store is a time-honored brand, the dishes and dim sum taste the best, as well as all kinds of fragrant powder jewelry, fans and satin, calligraphy and painting antiques, no matter what you want, Yangzhou City has everything. ”
Qin Hanzhen was moved when he heard it: "I'll ask my grandfather and grandmother when I go back." It's rare to pass through here, and you can stay for a day, you can't just wait on the dock for a day, waste time, or go shopping, right? At present, in autumn and winter, everything is withering, and the scenery is not as beautiful as when the spring flowers bloom. ”
Qingxing nodded: "The fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March, and the Yangzhou City at that time was indeed extremely beautiful." When I was a child, I walked out every year and visited all the good scenery in and out of the city. If the girl really comes back here next spring, I'll take you to the best place!"
Just when Qin Han and Allah's servants were discussing with great interest where Yangzhou City had the best scenery and which time-honored brand had the most chic goods, Imperial Doctor Shen was also muttering to Qin Bai: "I went to talk to Lord Huang, but I didn't find anyone." His own soldiers told me that Master Huang had disembarked from the boat, and that our group would stay in Yangzhou for a day tomorrow and set off early the day after tomorrow. Isn't Lord Huang making his own decisions? He hasn't said hello to Master Hou or me! What is he going to do?!"
Qin Bai was also a little surprised: "Could it be that there is something urgent in Yangzhou City that he needs to ask?"
Imperial Physician Shen snorted: "The affairs in Yangzhou City are managed by the officials of Yangzhou City. What does it have to do with Lord Huang? We still have to rush to Jinling City as soon as possible and ...... with the palace Rendezvous with that master is. Besides, even if there is really something important and you need to stay here for a day, Lord Huang can still discuss with us, instead of making the decision without saying a word, and the person will just disappear. I asked his own soldiers, where did Lord Huang go? His personal soldiers didn't know anything, it was really infuriating!"
Imperial Physician Shen was really a little dissatisfied with Huang Jincheng in his heart. He also came with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders on his trip to the south, and he was under a lot of pressure, okay?
Qin Bai was silent.
Imperial Physician Shen continued to complain: "It's strange to say, in the past, we traveled all the way, and we were always in a hurry. Sometimes, in order not to miss the accommodation, but also for safety reasons, occasionally there will be a stop at a large port in advance, and there is a situation where you don't have to travel for half a day. But like now, there has never been a direct delay for the previous day. The weather is good, there is no rain or snow, why don't you hurry up and take advantage of the good weather to cross the river as soon as possible, in case you get to the river but encounter wind and rain, then what should I do?!"
Yangzhou is not far from the past, it is the Yangtze River, and it is Zhenjiang City after the river. To get to Jinling, you need to change from there.
Qin Bai could see that Imperial Physician Shen was really annoyed, so he smiled and comforted him: "Lord Shen, don't worry, I have seen the sky, and the next few days will be sunny, and there will be no rain or snow." Lord Huang has always acted safely, and he is not a person who can mess around. He will stay in Yangzhou for a reason. He directly received the emperor's secret order to act, and we all have a lot of inside information that we don't understand, so let's complain less about him. He made another suggestion that sounded very tempting, "Yangzhou City, it's rare to come here, doesn't Lord Shen plan to go into the city to have a look?"
Imperial Physician Shen was appeased by him, and his mood calmed down a lot, and he realized that Qin Bai's status was noble, and his rank was much higher than him, but because he had always been kind and kind, he had no arrogance at all, which made him ignore the difference between the identities between the two. He was a little rude when he said it just now, and it was difficult for Yongjiahou to blame him at all.
Thinking like this, Imperial Physician Shen was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou is right. Now that Lord Huang has made up his mind, I don't have much to say. It's rare to come to Yangzhou City, it's time to visit. And he retired.
Qin Bai sent him away with a smile, turned around, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a puzzled expression.
He didn't know what Huang Jincheng was going to do when he stayed in Yangzhou for a day. However, he remembered that when he was a child, he heard his mother, Mrs. Ye, mention that the old marquis's original wife, Mrs. Huang, was the ancestral home of his mother's family in Yangzhou.
This means that the ancestral home of Lord Huang Jincheng is in Yangzhou. Huang Jincheng stayed in Yangzhou for a day and disappeared without a trace, could it be that he went back to his hometown? But he did not seem to be a person who would forget his official duties because of his own interests, and could he have something to do with the previous letter from Jinling? But what kind of connection could there be between the prince and the Huang family?
