The next day, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo went to Chengenhou Mansion to see Qin Jian.

Regarding Fuling's return to Jiangning after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Jian seemed to have made up his mind, and Qin Hanzhen didn't have much persuasion, so he only said: "Then you have to appease your sister-in-law, don't let her complain about you." The first time she gave birth to a child, her husband couldn't be by her side, how aggrieved she was!"

Qin Jian couldn't help but show a guilty expression. He also felt very sorry for his wife, but there was no way, only this time was the best time for him to deal with the aftermath of his grandfather's death, and if he missed this time, he didn't know if he would have such a good opportunity in the future.

He said in a low voice: "I will rush back as soon as possible, if I move faster, maybe I can return to Beijing in time for the new year." ”

Qin Hanzhen said disapprerovingly: "Do you think things are going so smoothly? After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is only three and a half months before the Chinese New Year, and the canal is suspended in the cold winter season, and if you want to hurry, you have to switch to cars and horses, and it is still a problem whether your body can bear it." Don't be in a hurry, tired yourself, and suffer from the cold, even if you come home, you will have a serious illness, so that your family will worry about you. You still spend the New Year in your hometown honestly, and come back when the spring flowers bloom next year. I just think you're a little ill-conceived, if you had made up your mind earlier to help Ling Ling return to Jiangning during the filial piety period, why didn't you say it earlier? If you can set off in June, there will be more than enough time, not like ...... now."

Qin Jian lowered his head in shame.

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "That's it, I didn't expect it earlier." I see that their family has lived in the capital for so many years, but I am afraid that they have no intention of returning to their hometown. It is also convenient to be buried in Beijing, and it is convenient to worship and sweep in the future. It's just that now it's just right to decide to return to the roots, and there's nothing wrong with it. Although the time is a little tighter, as long as the things are done well, the people who should be appeased have also been appeased, and the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages after all. ”

He turned his head to look at Qin Jian: "When I went south to raise grain, I often dealt with the people of the Caoyun Yamen along the canal, and I was already familiar with each other, and my friendship was good." I don't usually use this favor on weekdays, but as long as you need it, I will talk to the people in the fleet and tell them to take care of the way, even if the grain goes north and blocks the canal, they can try to get our fleet to pass first. It will not damage your reputation under the banner of my Suzhou County Palace, but it will save a lot of time on the road. If you work harder and hurry more, maybe you can really get to Jiangning before October, and get everything that needs to be done as soon as possible, and you may not be able to go home in time for the New Year. Of course, if your body can't bear it, you shouldn't be reluctant, you should take care of yourself. ”

Qin Jian was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly got up and saluted him: "Good Guanglu, you really helped me a lot!"

Zhao Mo smiled and hugged him, and said to him and Qin Hanzhen: "I haven't thought about this before, before I went out, I saw Agui come over and mentioned to me the caravan's new batch of urgent goods, and I just remembered, but I didn't have time to discuss with Hanzhen." ”

Qin Hanzhen could still deal with him for this matter, so he said, "This is a good thing. Agui is in charge of your private property, anyway, in the end, the money will come to me, and I won't ask how you take care of the property. This time, my brother benefited, and I was even happier. ”

Having said that, Qin Hanzhen still had some concerns: "Brother Lobby returned to Jiangning's hometown, not just to bury Uncle Grandfather and Uncle Grandmother, right? Brother Mo also said yesterday that Brother Dao Hall also wants to show his face in front of the clan, so that the clan can remember your branch and interact with you more." Does Brother Lobby have anything else to do?"

Qin Jian smiled a little wryly: "Yes...... I originally thought that after filial piety, I would become a leader. Now my uncle Zhishi is at home, my father's third uncle has to keep filial piety, and the fourth uncle and fifth uncle are all military attachés. I can't always count on the third uncle to carry me. Because I want to help the soul to return to my hometown, Uncle Kewen's official position is just in the south, and he is willing to walk with me, return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and then bring his family members to take office together. I thought it would be good to have an elder to take care of me on the road, so I agreed. Later, I thought that there were many scholars in the Qin clan, Uncle Kewen was the first elder to gain an official, and there was also an Uncle Karen who stayed in Beijing to study hard, and Uncle Tang who returned to Jiangning to take over the family study. This is only the clansmen who went to Beijing to participate in the Enke examination this year, and those who did not come? If there are older people who feel that the Jinshi is hopeless, and they have the heart to become a leader, it is also good for me to help them do it; if there are young and motivated talents and people who want to continue to take the examination, I, a new Jinshi, can also provide some help. It would be better if someone could go to Beijing and stay in the Chengenhou Mansion to study. I don't dare to work my three uncles and ancestors in everything, but my younger brothers also have to study, and if I add so many classmates of the same clan, it is better to invite one or two erudite old Confucians to come to the house to sit in the museum, and it will save everyone from scattering around to study. But if there are two or three more Jinshi and people among them, I will have an arm to help me in the future, and I will not be lonely. ”

He had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and when he got the news that his brother-in-law Yu Jingming was about to be married to Lord Minshun, he made up his mind.

He was indeed too weak alone. The younger brothers are a little older, and they don't seem to be able to share his worries for him, and the younger ones don't see any future. The third room Qin Bai is old, and it is impossible to shelter the long room all the time, but the brothers Qin Ping and Qin An are all in the army, even if they have to be promoted in the future, they can't help him anything. Brother-in-law Tang Han is good, but unfortunately the Tang family has its own position, and Tang Han must also have his own ideas. The two cousins of the Lu family are the same, they are closer to the Cai family.

Originally, his brother-in-law Yu Jingming was a good choice, and he could also use the power of the Yue family's Shoushan Bofu to strengthen himself. However, judging from Yu Jingming's selection as a concubine, Shou Shanbo had no objections, but was happy to see the Yu family break away from the center of power and the children and grandchildren get a more leisurely but stable future, Qin Jian felt that his father-in-law might not spend too much effort to promote him.

Qin Jian looked down at himself and felt that it was necessary to find a few more arms. Since there is a Qin Kewen in the Qin clan, Qin Kelun is also very hopeful, not to mention that there are still many seeds of reading in Jiangning's ethnology, so why should he ignore these families? He is not like his late grandfather Qin Song, who has eyes above the top and looks down on the clansmen; nor is he like his father Qin Zhonghai, who is said to have returned to his hometown when he was young and had some disagreements with his clansmen, and later he had a relatively cold attitude towards befriending his clansmen. Qin Jian has a fairly good relationship with the old family, and he can borrow the power of the three rooms, wouldn't it be too stupid to push those natural alliances in the clan out?

Therefore, Qin Jian went south this time, in addition to burying his grandparents and disposing of cuckoos, magpies and others, he did have the intention of taking advantage of the situation to make friends with his clansmen and persuade several uncles and brothers to go to Beijing to study in the Chengenhou Mansion.

It will take time to get this done.

Qin Jian nodded in acknowledgement, and Qin Hanzhen said, "Look, you still have a lot of things to do." Even if Brother Mo helps, you may not be able to come back in time. So, don't hesitate so much, the key is to get down to business. If you don't do what you need to do, and you don't get back to Beijing to welcome your child's birth, and you're tired and sick at the same time, wouldn't it be worth the loss? ”

Qin Hanzhen stood up after saying that, and didn't say much: "I'll see my sister-in-law go, I have to comfort her, and accompany her to scold my cousin, you careless person!"

Qin Jian reluctantly sent her third cousin away, and when she turned around and saw Zhao Mo snickering, she couldn't help crying and laughing: "You're laughing at me too." ”

Zhao Mo smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, Hanzhen's thoughts will always be different from ordinary people." She also cares about you as a couple. If it were someone else, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to all that!" said with a straight expression, "You're going to take those people away this time, right?"

Qin Jian hurriedly said: "After my mother found out, she was very moved, and repeatedly told me to rest assured. She will take care of my wife and children for me, and she will never reveal half a word about my father. As for the future, she only thinks about teasing her grandson at home with peace of mind, and she doesn't want to worry about other things. The former son Yao's family came and told her about the relatives of several nieces and nephews, and she also didn't want to say much on the grounds that there was filial piety in the family. When I look at my mother this time, I really know that she is wrong, and she will not dare to make trouble in the future. ”

When he conspired to murder someone, Yao probably acted out of anger. When the people died, she slowly came back to her senses, and she was not unrepentant. When her son found out the truth, she was even more scared. However, the baby son has always stood by her husband, but this time in order to protect her, she chose to hide it from her father, which made Yao feel relieved and moved. Since her son is so filial, she will soon be able to hold her grandson again, and there is nothing at home that she needs to worry about, so why shouldn't she rest and recuperate her mind and live a few years of leisure? Since she is bent on looking forward to the well-being of her children, of course she can't hold her son back at this time!

After Yao's enlightenment, he suddenly saved a lot of trouble. Qin Zhonghai actually felt strange over there, but with his son's help, he thought that it was because his wife was tired and sick after his parents' funeral and understood the importance of taking care of his body, so he would change so much, but he didn't suspect going elsewhere.

Zhao Mo said to Qin Jian: "If Ling Tang can be really smart, you will be able to worry less." You don't have to worry at home, in addition to your parents, Hanzhen will also come to visit your wife from time to time. There is also a three-room side, which will also help from time to time. As long as you do what you need to do and don't leave any troubles, you won't go in vain. ”

Qin Jian said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle things properly!"

Zhao Mo nodded, and then chuckled: "To be honest, you are very soft on those two bold girls." I thought you'd be a little more ruthless. ”

Qin Jian sighed: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but in the end I still couldn't start. I've never done anything to disregard human life, and I don't want to take it seriously. As long as they know the right and do what I tell them to do, I won't kill them all in earnest. In the end, although what they did was wrong, it was indeed beneficial to him, and his biological mother was even more involved. Treating them ruthlessly, but letting go of his mother, is not avenging the ancestors, but destroying the mouth.

Zhao Mo smiled and patted Qin Jian's shoulder: "Don't think too much." That's actually a good arrangement. If you were really a ruthless person, I wouldn't be so good with you. You just have to do what you want. ”

Affirming from his friend, Qin Jian smiled at Zhao Mo and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
