Zhao Mo didn't know what kind of role one of his letters played, and when he received Qin Jian's letter and learned all this, Jiangnan was already in midsummer June. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The summer in Jinling City is exceptionally hot, and it is still muggy, and this year it seems that even the wind is blowing less. Qin Hanzhen was in a mansion in the city, and he felt like he was in a steamer, and the water in his body could not be evaporated, which made people feel irritable.

"I'm so stupid, really. She thought to herself, "I only know that the winter in Jiangnan will be warmer than in the capital, and the summer may be hotter, but I forget that this Jinling City is the famous Nanjing, and the prestige of the four furnaces is known to the world." I had been to Nanjing before I came, and I thought that the summer there was fine, but the urban environment and climate at that time must have been improved, and there was air conditioning, but now there is no such good thing. ”

She regretted it again, why didn't she persuade her grandfather and grandmother to go outside the city to escape the summer? Originally, the sect had invited them to go back to Qinzhuang to escape the summer, and in the countryside surrounded by fields and dense river networks, the environment must have been cooler. But the grandfather and grandmother were worried about their son Qin Ping and their precious grandson Zi Ge'er who would arrive at some point, and Qin Hanzhen was worried that the mosquitoes in the countryside would be more severe, so he moved back to the ancestral house where Qinzhuang could only live in six rooms, and had to face the heavy encirclement of his clansmen, relatives and friends, and the quiet days would be gone forever, so he didn't talk much.

Now she thinks that as long as it is cooler, it doesn't matter if there are more guests. In ancient times, it was not without mosquito prevention methods. When you go to a cool place to escape the heat, you live in someone else's house, which is similar to living in a hotel in modern times, and isn't the six-room ancestral house a relative's house? What is there to taboo? Unfortunately, it is too late to regret it now.

Qin Ping went south to Guangzhou to take up his post, and before he set off, he sent a quick letter saying the approximate time when he would arrive in Jinling. Counting the days, it is estimated that there will be only a few days. Rather than bothering to move out of the city to escape the summer and come back a few days later, it's better to endure a little longer.

Qin Hanzhen shook the fan desperately, and ran to the ice cubes piled up in the corner of the house to borrow cool air, and finally felt better. Qing Xing saw it, but persuaded her: "Girl, if you feel hot, just stand in front of the ice for a while, and when your body is a little cooler, you should stay away from it." It's cold, and it's not good if you catch a cold. Mama Wei has repeatedly instructed you not to be greedy. ”

Qin Hanzhen nodded at her helplessly: "Got it, I'll stand for a while." Aren't you hot? Dressed denser than I am. She had already asked someone to make indoor loungewear with as light and cool material as possible, and the sleeves could be made shorter and wider, but the girls were afraid that she would lose her physique, so the clothes were still made of two or three layers, and the sleeves were still long to the back of the hand, which looked like they were made of leno, but in fact they were lined with muslin, and they didn't feel very cool to wear. They were wearing cloth clothes and skirts, working everywhere inside and out, and they were sweating profusely, but they didn't feel unbearable, which was really admirable.

Qingxing pursed her lips and smiled: "Who isn't hot? Then he lowered his head and lowered his voice: "I just wish I could teach them more, and even if I leave, they will be able to serve the girl well." ”

Qingxing finally decided to leave Qin Hanzhen's side and stay in Jinling with her grandparents to settle down. Ever since she heard about He's death and learned that Brother Zi'er was coming, she had decided. She still has some regrets in her heart for not being able to kill the enemy herself, but the enemy has ended up so tragically, and she is a little secretly happy in her heart. Thinking that it would not be good if Brother Zi'er found out about such a mentality, in order to be sure, it would be better for her to leave the mansion of Yongjiahou Mansion.

In contrast, Li Zi did not have any previous worries, and he was not afraid of what would happen to the He family again. It doesn't matter if he stays in Jiangnan now, or if he returns to Beijing with his master, it's okay. Good girls in the inner house are easy to get, but there are few reliable little girls walking in the outer yard. He decided to continue to stay and do things for Qin Hanzhen until there was no reliable person around him to take over. He was still young and didn't want to be comfortable with his uncle so early.

Qingxing is now teaching a few little girls brought from the capital, and asking her uncle to select suitable people from the population of several industries in the south of the Yangtze River to supplement them. Qin Hanzhen, as the daughter of the Houmen, moved into the Yongjiahou Mansion in the future, and the pomp and circumstance were naturally larger than when he was in the Chengenhou Mansion, and the manpower was also increased. Although this may cause these little girls to suffer from being uprooted from their homes, the loyalty aspect is more trustworthy than the manpower transferred by the long house. Several tea gardens, the tenants on the grange are very enthusiastic, even if they will be separated from the flesh and blood for many years, but the girl ring around the daughter of the Hou Mansion is fat, how many people can't look forward to it?

Qingxing has been helping with these things by Mama Hu and Wei Niangma recently, even if the weather is hot, she doesn't take it to heart, but is full of interest. Qin Han really saw that she was quite energetic, so she had to go, but told her to pay more attention to her body, not to get tired, and to beware of heat stroke.

Qingxing responded to her nagging with a smile, and told her again: "I just heard that a letter is coming from the main courtyard, I don't know if it's a letter from the fourth master?

Qin Han was really overjoyed: "Really?" immediately dropped the cool ice cube and ran out with a fan.

When she ran to the main courtyard, Zhao Mo also came, turned around and smiled at her: "Cousin, it's a letter from the capital." Brother Jane also wrote me one. ”

Isn't it Qin Ping? Qin Hanzhen slowed down, a little disappointed in his heart: "Oh. ”

Zhao Mo blinked and said with a smile: "Cousin, do you think it's the fourth cousin who sent a letter? Don't worry, the fourth cousin should be about to arrive at the Yangtze River, you can wait patiently for a few more days." ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled at him, saluted his grandfather and grandmother, and pulled him to sit down at the table.

Qin Bai read the letter and handed it to his granddaughter with a smile: "It's nothing important, everything is fine in the capital." Your second uncle and second aunt were worried that we would not be able to stand the heat when we spent the summer in the south, so they asked someone to send the secret anti-heatstroke pills prepared by the Tai Hospital. We also got this pill last year, and the effect is still good. Go back and ask the girl to send some to you and Guanglu, one day I feel that the weather is too hot, remember to get up early and eat a pill, and my body will be better. ”

Qin Hanzhen agreed, read the letter again, and saw that it was written above that the second room was in an alley three streets away from the two Hou Mansions, bought a three-entry house, and finally moved out at the end of last month. The long room is very generous, with enough face, and the housewarming gifts are generous, and the brothers Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao also took their wives to eat warm wine. However, it is said that most of the people who came to the banquet were Qin Bofu's colleagues, as well as representatives of the Cui family, and there were no prominent families, and the highest status was the two brothers of Changfang. It can be seen that after the separation of the second room, the identity is not as good as before, and the momentum has gone down.

This is a scenario that can be expected a long time ago. I don't know why the Xue clan suddenly became so crisp. Qin Hanzhen originally thought that she would stay in the Chengenhou Mansion and refuse to leave. The house in Sanjin is not as spacious as the Hou Mansion. But there is no way, where can there be such a spacious and free house to live in without the Hou Mansion? The capital has every inch of land, and the second room refuses to move out of the originally familiar neighborhood, for fear of lowering its status. Most of the people living in that area are high-ranking officials and nobles, and the land price is already expensive, and the three-entry house is already the lowest standard for the second room from a high-ranking family, but it also cost them thousands of taels of silver. Rao is second room has two Xue family daughters, and their mother's family is rich, and this amount of silver is not a small amount for them.

But they still spent this money, and the style of acting was somewhat different from the past, which made people suspicious.

Qin Hanzhen looked back and found that there were many trivial things in the letter, so he hurriedly glanced at it. Niu Shi took out a delicate small envelope and handed it to her: "This is yours, saying that it was a letter written by Jinhua to you." Brother Jian also brought a letter to Guanglu. Where do you kids come from with so much whispering?"

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly returned Qin Zhonghai's letter to his grandfather, took the letter from his grandmother, his face was full of smiles, and he was anxious to go back to the house to read the letter.

When Niu saw it, he became more and more angry: "Come on, your grandfather and I are not interested in knowing what private words you are talking about secretly, go back." I've made mung bean soup in the kitchen today, and I'll have someone bring it to you in a moment, remember to drink it, but don't put ice on it! If you want me to know what kind of mess you've made of shaved ice, be careful!"

Qin Hanzhen responded loudly with a smile, pulled Zhao Mo and ran out. The two went to Zhao Mo's courtyard, which was more spacious than the wing room where Qin Hanzhen lived. Fei's mother was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she has been in the palace for decades, and she is familiar with many good ways to relieve the heat and cool down, but the cost is higher. Zhao Mo is not short of silver now, so naturally he will not treat himself badly, and he often respects Qin Bainiu's husband and wife. Now that Qin Hanzhen is free, he will go to his yard to enjoy it. If there are any new ideas to cool down, they will discuss it with Zhao Mo, who is rich and leisurely and willing to listen to her. Half a day was spent in his yard.

Anyway, she is not too old now, and there are some rules, taboos or something, so she doesn't have to be too strict.

When she got to the house and sat down, Qingdai gave Fei's mother the medicinal tea that relieved the heat, and she retreated with a smile. Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked Zhao Mo: "You have already read the letter just now, right?

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "Brother Jian said something that the second cousin didn't mention in the letter. They found out that the second room was going to give the emperor away, but Aunt Fu didn't agree to help the second room. Who did you find in the second room? Nian Hui Nunnery! There are a few sisters-in-law in the nunnery who are the sons of your family, right? Second Mrs. Qin actually hit them with the idea, and she couldn't figure it out. ”

"It's a pity. Zhao Mo smiled meaningfully, "As soon as Brother Jian knew, he immediately complained to the East Palace. The crown prince of the East Palace also told the emperor in private. The emperor ordered, and told Brother Jian to pretend not to know at home, and let the second room act. When Brother Jian wrote the letter, the second room had already connected with one of the sisters-in-law, and it was said that the other side agreed very happily, and there was no intention of refusing at all, but just asked for more silver. ”

The people in Nianhui Nunnery have been isolated from the outside world for many years, and their food and clothing are provided by the inner treasury, so what do you want to do with silver?

Qin Hanzhen blinked, immediately reacted, and lowered his voice and asked, "Is this deliberate?"
