Chapter 158: Reunion

However, no matter how attractive Zhuhai is, Qin Hanzhen can't go for the time being, she has to wait for the arrival of her father Qin Ping first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, Qin Ping didn't let her wait long, and after less than ten days, the family reported to Jinling City, Qin Ping took Brother Zi'er and Wu Shaoying, and left Zhenjiang for Jinling yesterday. Although the weather is hotter at the moment, it is better that there is no rain and will not hinder the journey, so it is estimated that they should arrive in the evening, and they should be able to enter the city before the city gate is closed.

Qin Bai, Niu, and Qin Hanzhen were all very happy. The house had been cleaned several times, and the place where the uncle and nephew lived had already been prepared. It's just that because the small mansion of Confucius Temple is not big, it may not be able to entertain so many people, so Zhao Mo volunteered and recruited some people to settle in his house by the Huaiqing Bridge, and Wu Shaoying was assigned to the outer study.

During this day's time, Qin Hanzhen and the others didn't go anywhere, so they gathered in the main courtyard and waited. In order to pass the time, Qin Bai simply gave the two children a Go lesson, but he was a little absent-minded, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo were also a little absent-minded, looking out of the door from time to time, not to mention the efficiency of teaching, and even eating lunch was not fragrant.

Fortunately, Qin Ping, Wu Shaoying and his entourage arrived before the city gate closed in the evening. Looking at his son, grandson and students, Qin Bai was very excited, and his eyes, which had always been calm, couldn't help but feel a little wet. He hugged his son, patted the student's shoulder, touched his little grandson's head again, and tried to calm down before smiling: "Go and freshen up." After freshening up, I went to the room to eat. Brother Ping's mother has already prepared the meal, which you love to eat. ”

Niu Shi held his grandson in one hand and his son's hand in the other, and when he heard the words, he reluctantly let them go, and asked Mama Hu to stare at Brother Zi'er in person to freshen up, and she was not at ease when she changed someone else. She looked at her grandson's little man, although he had grown a lot taller and spoke more clearly, he was really black and thinner. It seems that the journey is still very hard to go south, not to mention that the grandson has always been frail. Thinking of this, she complained a little about her son, why did she take her grandson to the south first? But thinking that her son had left Beijing to take up his post, there was really no adult in the family who could take care of her grandson, and she put aside that complaint again.

Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying looked at each other and smiled, saluted Qin Bai and Niu, and then retreated. Now that they are home, they don't have to worry about Brother Zi'er's affairs, and someone else will take care of it.

Qin Hanzhen had only seen his father and cousin since he had seen them, and he had been walking around them, and when he saw them go to freshen up, he stopped and sat in the main room waiting. But she couldn't sit still, and caught a glimpse of Mama Hu bathing Brother Zi'er, so she went over to help Mama Hu change her little cousin's clothes.

Brother Zi'er is wearing a set of linen-white coarse cloth clothes, although the workmanship is good, but the material is coarse, and some of the skin is grinding, which is not suitable for children with delicate skin. When Mama Hu saw this, she frowned, and asked Xia He, who came to wait, if there were other clothes to change? Xia He opened the burden and showed Mama Hu, but most of the new summer clothes made by Brother Zi'er this year were the same clothes, although there were two cheesecloth clothes, but the colors were gray and white, gray and blue.

When Qin Hanzhen saw it, he remembered it. He's new funeral, although she is a wife, but she is also Brother Zi'er's biological mother, Brother Zi'er should serve her for a year, and she should have to hold the mourning stick, but he is still a child and is on a journey, so there is no need to pay attention to this. Fortunately, this way to the south, he followed Qin Ping, an official, to take office, and his family hired boats, cars and horses, otherwise it would still be a problem for Dai Xiao's people to stay in the hotel. The two cheesecloth clothes, looking at the mourning clothes are a little lighter, probably used to deceive outsiders.

She thought about it, and asked Mama Tiger to take out the gray-blue cheesecloth coat and change it for Brother Zi'er. The family has been separated for more than half a year, and they finally reunited for dinner, why bother to ask Brother Zi'er Dai Xiao to appear, so that everyone can think of the unpleasant dead man of the He family?

Brother Zi'er obediently was at the mercy of Mama Hu, changed into the cloth clothes, looked up at Qin Hanzhen, blinked, and his eyes were clear and bright.

Qin Han really saw that he was well-behaved, and remembered that he was also a poor person, the He family did not treat this child well before his death, but just used him to stabilize his position in the Qin family, even if he was bullied by Sister Zhang, he was blindly partial to his daughter. If it weren't for Qin Bai, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to study seriously. Qin Hanzhen thought about it, and felt that there seemed to be no need to be angry with the child, so he smiled, reached out and pinched Brother Zi'er's little face, and made a grimace at him.

Mama Tiger scolded with a smile: "Sister, don't be too heavy-handed, brother's face is tender, beware of leaving a mark, and my wife should be distressed when I turn around." He put on socks for Brother Zi'er again, and when he saw that the shoes sent by Xia He were also made of coarse linen, he frowned, "How can this color match clothes? Is there no other shoes? The old lady has only been away from home for a few months? You will be lazy, and you won't make more clothes, shoes and socks for your brother!"

Xia He hurriedly said that she does needlework every day and has never been lazy. Brother Zi'er has a lot of clothes and shoes, but some of them were left in the capital and not brought over, and the ones they brought were still in the box and not taken out.

Mama Tiger said, "Since you brought it, take it." You don't understand, I'll pick it with you. Xia He felt aggrieved, how could she not understand? But she is an honest person, Mama Tiger ordered, and she obediently led Mama Hu to rummage through the suitcase.

There are only two brothers and sisters in the back room, Qin Hanzhen and Brother Zi'er.

Qin Hanzhen was still a little hesitant in her heart, secretly wondering if Mama Hu's words were hinting at something? What did she mean by taking Xia He away now? Was it implying that she could pinch Brother Zi'er's face when no one was around, as long as she didn't leave a mark? Qin Hanzhen was a little unsure.

Brother Zi'er stretched out his hand with a blank eye, carefully pinched her cuffs, and whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry ......"

Qin Hanzhen came back to his senses: "What did you tell me to do, what did you do that didn't stop me?"

Brother Zi'er sniffled and whispered, "My mother hurt your mother, and my eldest sister hurt you...... I feel sorry for you and my aunt. Now that my mother is dead, my eldest sister has gone nowhere, and she can't atone for her sins. Can I atone for their sins, sister, don't be angry with me......" said as he said, his eyes turned red.

Qin Hanzhen sounded a little soft-hearted, but more surprised: "How do you know this? Who told you?"

Brother Zi'er was too young, and when He was suspended, he was only three years old. Qin Bai and Niu were worried that he didn't understand what his biological mother had done, and they were very vague when explaining her departure. Brother Zi'er only roughly knew that his biological mother had done something bad and was sent away, so he shouldn't know the specific situation. But now listening to his tone, it seems that he already knows. He's only just over his fifth birthday, what does he know? Who told him?

Qin Hanzhen thought about it, and said to him: "What your mother and sister did is their own fault, and it has nothing to do with you. Now that you know who is right and who is wrong, forget about them in the future. As long as you remember that you are the child of the Qin family and the grandson of your grandfather and grandmother, you don't have to pay attention to other things. ”

Brother Zi'er nodded solemnly, and said with red eyes: "I don't understand why they would do such a thing...... Cousin Wu said that it was because her mother wanted to hide the life experience of the eldest sister in the world and not let others know that the eldest sister was secretly born to her adulterer. She lied to her eldest sister's father, and then to her father, she ...... How could she do that?! I feel so embarrassed...... Why is she my mother?"

Qin Han was really taken aback, who actually told a child about He's relationship with people. She hurriedly asked, "Who told you these things?"

Brother Zi'er replied honestly: "Cousin Wu told me, and Uncle also said something. Cousin Wu said, I am already a big child, enlightened, read, to understand things, do not misunderstand my family because of some gossip from outsiders, like my mother and eldest sister, do bad things. He pursed his lips and whispered angrily, "I won't be like them!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and touched his head: "Brother Zi'er is a good boy who is sensible, I believe you won't follow their example." In the future, you have to study hard. Since you said that you want to atone for their sins, then study hard and get ahead in the future, so that you can support your sister. ”

Brother Zi'er's eyes were shining, and he kept nodding: "I will!"

Mama Tiger and Xia He came back with their shoes. Qin Hanzhen handed over Brother Zi'er to them and turned around to leave. After thinking about it, she went to her father's room first, helped the subordinates to put the luggage, and when her father called for water to take a bath, she went to the outer study to find her cousin. Wu Shaoying had already washed hastily, and when she saw her niece, she was quite happy, beckoned her to come over and talk, and asked her how she was doing in Jinling.

Qin Hanzhen chatted with him without saying a word, and after chatting for a while, he cautiously asked about Brother Zi'er: "He is still so young, you told him the truth, what if he can't stand it, or can't understand it?"

Wu Shaoying smiled: "You have to tell him." That is his biological mother, since he is dead, he should wear filial piety as a son, otherwise how will outsiders look at him? Now it is not the same as before, in the past, others did not know who his mother was, only knew that she was a woman, even if she was a little contemptuous, for the sake of the Qin family, it would not be revealed. But now many people in Beijing know the identity of his biological mother, and they also know that He is Zhao Jie's concubine, and even openly shouts that her eldest daughter is Zhao Jie's own flesh and blood. Your uncle has been laughed at for wearing a green hat for many years without knowing it, but he is in Datong and is not afraid of the discussion in the capital. Brother Zi'er has to bear more, he is young, if he doesn't know anything, and if he listens to the provocations of others, it is easier to drill the horns. Therefore I have consulted with your father to tell him the truth. If there is something he doesn't understand, he should also break it down and explain it in detail. Fortunately, this child is not stupid, he has been reading books with the teacher for several months, and he is also a little smart, he has already understood right and wrong, knows who to get close to, and who to spit on. ”

He thought to himself that even if Brother Zi'er didn't understand this, he would say that the child would understand until he understood.

Qin Hanzhen noticed his words: "Someone is stirring up trouble in front of Brother Zi'er, who? What did they provoke?"
