Qin Ping's return made the Yongjiahou Mansion and the Chengenhou Mansion lively. Even Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao, who are slowly becoming smooth in their careers, must admit that Qin Ping, who has qualifications, talents, hearts and connections, is obviously the most promising person among their generation of brothers. Whether it is in terms of affection or interests, they sincerely welcome this cousin like never before.

The banquet of Yongjiahou Mansion is finished, and the Chengenhou Mansion is placed again. Taking the opportunity of sending Laba porridge, the two families spread the good news of Qin Ping's return to Beijing to relatives and friends, and the emperor and the crown prince were the first to receive the news. Even if Qin Ping has not yet been newly appointed for a while, outsiders also know how much the emperor attaches importance to this, and Qin Ping's future will never be bad.

Invitations for various gatherings and banquets generally flew to the Yongjiahou Mansion to invite Qin Ping to participate, and some people were invited through the Chengenhou Mansion. If Qin Ping is willing, he will immediately become a big celebrity in the social circle of the capital this winter and next spring. However, he declined most of the invitations, and only some relatives and friends who really couldn't shirk agreed to it. He asked his father Yongjiahou Qin Bai what he meant, and he also knew that he should not be too high-profile at the moment, so he made the decision. In fact, he himself hopes that in the cold winter, he can nest in a warm home and reunite with his family more.

Qin Bai came forward for his son to accompany the crime, saying that his son was all the way back to Beijing, he was too tired on the way, and he needed to rest, the old wife felt sorry for his son and strictly ordered him to stay at home, and his son was filial, so he acted according to his mother's orders. With his uncle of the Holy Family, who is in the middle of the country, coming forward, and under the guise of filial piety, he also made it clear that Qin Ping was overworked, even if he was a thick-skinned host, it was not easy to be reluctant, so he naturally wanted to smile and say in person It doesn't matter, there will be a chance to get together again in the future, as for what to say behind his back? Who can complain about this?

Qin Ping was finally able to live a winter at home.

He really suffered a lot all the way north. Although the sea route is smoother than the inland waterway, and the distance seems to be a little shorter, it is on the premise that the weather conditions are good and there is less wind and waves at sea. Qin Ping was a little unlucky, the ship encountered a typhoon when it arrived in Fujian, entered the port to avoid a few days, and then went forward, and when he arrived in Shandong, he encountered a wave of storms, and had to nest in Weihaiwei's post station for seven or eight days. Because it was the middle of winter, he couldn't take the opportunity to take a tour of the mountains and rivers in Shandong like the old father and daughter, and he was so stuffy that he was almost moldy. With such twists and turns, when he returned to the capital, he was already more than half a month later than the expected trip.

Since he had been in Lingnan for several years, and the winter was warm there, he was in a hurry when he received the summons, and he did not have time to prepare winter clothes, so he could only put on his old clothes. The old clothes that he hasn't worn for a few years, the cold protection function has long been much worse than before, coupled with the strong wind and waves at sea, he can't dress like a bear in front of outsiders for the sake of face, and he has really suffered a lot in the past month or so. Externally, it was said that he was tired from the journey, but in fact, he was still a little cold, and he was also dark and thin, his face was haggard, and he was distressed when he saw Niu's heart, Qin Han was really worried, or Qin Bai ordered him to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more tonic soup, eat and sleep well, and returned to normal in a few days.

Qin Hanzhen reacted at this time, the cheap dad must have insufficient vitamin intake, coupled with lack of nutrition, and fatigue on the road, so he made it like this, right? She was a little annoyed, people who sailed at sea in ancient times had insufficient vitamins that could easily cause sepsis, isn't this common sense? Why didn't she think of it? However, with Qin Ping's status and status, he has not yet reached this point, at most he has just suffered some hardships.

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked the people in the hot spring village to send more fresh vegetables and fruits, and he had to stare at his father and eat at least one plate of vegetables and one fruit every day. Qin Ping was a little helpless, he actually didn't like to eat these very much, he preferred to eat meat and pasta. But the girl is filial, how can he live up to it? I had to pinch my nose and eat it, although my face seems to be quite reluctant, but in fact my heart is very beautiful.

His daughter is filial, and when she is so old, she will get married next year, but he has only enjoyed the filial piety of his daughter for a few days?

However, he was reluctant to return, and he did not have the habit of picking his nose and eyes at his future son-in-law Zhao Mo, who diligently reported to the door every day. First, this family business is something he has long recognized, all the way north, such a long time and distance, it is enough to wipe out the negative thoughts in his heart; The young couple are happy with each other, and they will definitely live happily after marriage, so why should he, an old father, get in the way? In this life, he has been separated from his daughter for many years, and he owes his daughter too much, and as long as his daughter can be happy, everything is secondary.

Therefore, Qin Ping was much kinder to Zhao Mo than Wu Shaoying. Wu Shaoying has long since stopped putting on a face, but her attitude towards Zhao Mo is still not kind. It's just that everyone gets along well.

Qin Ping quickly noticed Wu Shaoying's attitude, but laughed at him and couldn't let go: "I'm willing to be a father, why are you an uncle even more twisted than me? And since she wants to marry someone and marry Guanglu, it is naturally more reassuring than marrying someone else. It's good that Guanglu grew up with us, and the heart is reliable, and it's good for Hanzhen. If it's someone else, how can I trust my daughter to hand it over?"

Wu Shaoying was a little embarrassed to hear it, and said curtly: "I just think it...... The kid thought a little deeper. At such a young age, he set his sights on Hanzhen. If such a city is used to calculate Han Zhen in the future, how can Han Zhen be his opponent? In fact, I also know that that kid is sincere to Han Zhen. But when I think of his shrewdness, I can't help but be a little wary of it. Actually, it's nothing, I just think in my heart, I won't do anything rude. Brother Ping, don't take it to heart, just let me go. ”

In fact, to put it bluntly, even he is a deep-minded person when he asks himself, so he is extra wary of his kind, worried that others will also use those deep thoughts on his beloved niece.

Qin Ping laughed when he heard this: "What are you afraid of? No matter how smart Guanglu is, he is still a child." The rice he has eaten is not as much salt as the two of us have eaten, even if he has a deep hatred in his heart, does he really dare to calculate our daughter? With the two of us here, are you still afraid that Han Zhen will suffer? It's a big deal, let's help her calculate back!"

Wu Shaoying smiled dumbly, and also felt that she was thinking too much, and became more and more embarrassed.

After laughing, Qin Ping said to Wu Shaoying again: "Let's talk from the heart." Hanzhen's child, although he seems to be a straight temper, is actually very smart, and his knowledge is far better than that of ordinary boudoir women. Let me tell you one thing...... he told Wu Shaoying that Qin Hanzhen had warned him about the harm of opium and resolutely asked him to come forward to ban and prohibit the circulation of opium in Guangdong, "If it is a girl from another family, how can she immediately think of its harm as soon as she hears that a Western merchant has transported a boatload of opium to Guangzhou, and then asks about the effect of opium?" When she reminded me to confiscate these things, she made a point of pointing out several people who might smoke opium, and what lies the dealers might make up about it, and how it should be destroyed. I just need to do what she says, and then I can get rid of all the opium in Canton, and then collect the rest slowly, and that's pretty much it. Moreover, while banning opium, I also followed Hanzhen's suggestion to publicize the dangers of this substance, and even fed opium to condemned prisoners in public in front of the official office several times, so that the people could see the tragic situation of the prisoner being poisoned and dying. Even though there are still many people who disagree with the opium ban, the people do not dare to try it easily. Everyone knows that although the first food of that thing can make people flutter, it can kill people. I banned opium in Guangzhou, and within a year, the results were remarkable, and I couldn't have done this without many reminders from this child in advance. ”

How old was Qin Hanzhen at that time? With such insight and scheming, it is rare to be thoughtful, Qin Ping is deeply proud of his daughter. Such a girl, he didn't think that he would be easily deceived by men. But at the same time, he also felt that it would be too bad for such a daughter to be married to others at will. Zhao Mo is just right, not only with Qin Hanzhen's childhood sweetheart, but also knows her temperament, he has been used to pampering her since he was a child, he can understand her thoughts, and actively help her implement her plan. Where can such a husband go to find a better place?

Qin Ping was really optimistic about his daughter's marriage, and as soon as Zhao Mo wrote a letter to propose, he never considered other son-in-law candidates.

Wu Shaoying suddenly realized, no wonder Qin Ping agreed to Zhao Mo's marriage so readily, it turned out that he had already thought about it so much at that time. Sure enough, the person who is a father thinks more thoughtfully than others. is not like him, he is still struggling with what nephew and son-in-law are too deep-minded. As long as the mind is not directed at the niece, isn't it more beneficial for the niece to be a little deeper in his mind and a little more shrewd and capable? As long as the juniors can live happily in the future, why should they care too much about trivial matters?

Wu Shaoying was ashamed in her heart, and even thought that she couldn't marry Rongniang's cousin that day, which was really a matter of course. Not to mention in the eyes of the Guan family's uncles and aunts, even in the eyes of others, he is much inferior to Qin Ping.

Wu Shaoying's expression darkened, and Qin Ping found out almost immediately. He didn't know what Wu Shaoying was thinking, but he could probably guess that there were no more than a few reasons for Wu Shaoying to show such an expression.

He began to change the subject: "Speaking of which, my mother has been talking to you a lot about marriage these days, right? What do you think? Although my mother has not urged me to marry, I have already married a wife and have a daughter, which is better than you still being a bachelor." If you delay marrying a wife for a long time, and when you give birth to children in the future, who are younger than Hanzhen's children, what will you call your relatives at that time? Isn't that a mess?"

Wu Shaoying's attention was really shifted immediately, he looked at Qin Ping dumbfounded, he didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to himself, and he didn't understand, how could Qin Ping so shamelessly ignore the fact that he also resolutely refused to marry, and urged him to marry a wife and have children?!
