Chapter VII: Family Letters
When Qin Hanzhen read this, he looked up at his grandfather Qin Bai and his grandmother Niu: "Linxian is where the He family used to live, right? I remember that Sister Zhang was sent back to the Chen family there." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info He's going to find his daughter?"
Niu Shi thought for a while: "Who else can she go to besides her daughter?" Her reputation in Linxian is not very good, and the Chen family has always complained about her. If it weren't for her daughter, she would still be able to run back and ask the Chen family to poke her back?"
Qin Hanzhen snorted: "If she really thinks about her daughter and takes Sister Zhang away from the Chen family, and the mother and daughter depend on each other for their lives from now on, it can be regarded as some humanity." I remember that when she left her second uncle's house, she had a lot of gold and silver on hand, and as long as she was not as lavish as she used to be, she could barely live for ten or eight years. "Ten or eight years later, Sister Zhang has already reached the age of marriage, if the He family is blessed, maybe she can still live with her daughter and son-in-law. Even if there is no dowry, Sister Zhang still has a face, and she doesn't have to worry about getting married, as long as she doesn't expose her true temperament before marriage.
Zhao Mo has lived with Qin Jian and everyone in the third room for a long time, and he has heard about Qin An's ex-wife He to some extent. Zhao Mo knew more, and remained silent at this time. And although Qin Jian may not know that she is responsible for the death of Qin Hanzhen's mother Guan Shi, but judging from the fact that the He family was divorced for putting Yinzi money on the surface, and after being divorced, she heard that the Qin family was rich and noble, so she came to the door many times to entangle, and other deeds, she also knew that this woman was not a good person. Although he was puzzled that Qin Hanzhen seemed to have a lot of resentment towards this former aunt in his tone, he was not very surprised.
Qin Jian also persuaded Qin Hanzhen: "Why should the third sister worry about this He family? If she stays in Datong, she may even cause trouble to the fifth uncle, Brother Zi'er and the newly-born sixth sister." She left on her own, with her own daughter, and no matter where she goes in the future, at least our family is quiet, isn't it?"
Qin Hanzhen smiled: "I hope it can really be quiet." I always felt that this woman would not give up so easily. She has been pursuing wealth and glory all her life, and now that she has passed by wealth, will she really be willing? However, Brother Lobby is also right, it is indeed a good thing that she left Datong and no longer came to pester my second uncle. I wish her and Sister Zhang's mother and daughter all the best. ”
She glanced at Qing Xing, and Qing Xing's face was still a little unwilling, as if to say: "Why can the He family live smoothly? I wish she had died sooner!"
Niu listened to his granddaughter's words, but turned to her husband Qin Bai and said, "We have to write a letter to Brother An, so that he can stop paying attention to the He family's slut." Otherwise, with his temper, he might have to pity that slut again, or think about Brother Zi'er and the second girl, and want to take care of their biological mother. He is naturally soft-hearted, and he is the easiest to fall into this kind of thing. I still don't believe that He is really willing to leave his two children behind and go to Linxian to find her and the daughter of the former Chen Xiaowei, maybe he just pretended to be pitiful and led Brother An to chase her!"
Qin Bai said softly: "Don't worry, although Brother An is soft-hearted, Mama Lu is an understanding person. If the He family really just retreated, someone would persuade Brother An to see the truth. "Before he sent Mama Lu out, he told her again and again.
When Niu heard this, he relaxed a little, but he couldn't be very calm: "I'm afraid that Brother An will be stubborn, and ten cows won't be able to pull it back." Although he swore in front of us that he would never be soft-hearted to the He family again, didn't he still have a little old affection for Sister Zhang, and still sent silver and things to the Chen family to support that girl?"
Qin Bai said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Brother An is easy to be soft-hearted in front of children." If he really had the heart to take Sister Zhang back to feed, he would not have sent people away in the first place. I said what he was not allowed to do, and he would never dare to disobey it. ”
Niu snorted: "I hope he is still as well-behaved and obedient as before, I really don't dare to be too relieved." He is easy to be soft-eared, and he said that he was not allowed to raise the golden ring too much, just because he didn't want him to take a concubine, but he still accepted it, but he didn't put the wine on the table, and his name was given a little lower. I think he's been coaxed by that golden ring for a long time, and I hope something doesn't go wrong. ”
Speaking of the bad things on Qin An's side, everyone's mood was not very good. Qin Hanzhen looked down at the content behind the letter, and decided to change the topic: "Father also said something else in the letter. Previously, when we were in Tianjin, we sent someone to Beijing to send a letter, mentioning that my grandmother wanted to buy property in Tianjin. My father said that Xu Yingnian had already been asked to go to Tianjin to see the house, and I had picked a few places that were not bad, and let my grandfather and grandmother choose one. Fancy which place, write back, and let Xu Yingnian buy it. ”
The letter is followed by information about several houses, including location, size, number of houses, types of flowers and trees, geometry, etc., and the situation is very detailed, and there are even simple drawings of each house, which makes it clear at a glance. As for the new sacrificial fields that the Niu family also intends to purchase, Xu Yingnian also picked three places, and the introduction was attached to the letter, and a simple fish scale map was attached.
Qin Bai took the letter and looked at it a few times, and then handed it to Niu: "You take your time, which place do you like, and when you write to Beijing next time, tell Brother Ping." ”
Niu looked at it for a while, and then picked a house and a piece of land: "These two places are not far away, that is, five or six miles of land, and it is quite convenient to come and go." The house is only two streets away from my seventh brother's house, and it is convenient to go to the grave. Let's pick this one. I remember that the place where I lived when I was a child seemed to be there too. But that seems a bit expensive?"
Qin Bai looked at the pattern and the introduction of the house: "There are four entrances before and after this house, and eighty percent of them are new, it has just been built for less than ten years, and now the owner is a gentry, and the neighbors are all Sven people." It makes sense that such a house is more expensive. Let's pick this one, it's quieter than the others, and we don't have to bother to renovate. ”
Niu agreed: "I will write to someone to buy it when I go back, although I don't have to renovate the house, the furniture in it needs to be rearranged." If we are in time, maybe when we return to Beijing next year, we will pass by Tianjin and live there. A horse-drawn carriage ride from the pier is only an hour or two away. ”
When Qin Hanzhen heard her say this, he always felt that his back was sore and sore.
Qin Jian looked at the fish scale drawings with some curiosity, as well as the house patterns or something, and asked, "How do you look at this picture?"
Zhao Mo once got a house and bought a small grange, he was more experienced than him, so he took the drawings to explain it to him. Seeing this, Qin Bai simply waved his hand: "Let's talk about the sale of houses and fields today!" So he started a new course.
This is not a new course content, and what I have learned before is still very closely related to the new content. For example, in the case of house sales, we can lead to all kinds of scams, as well as the differences in housing prices in different places, etc.; the sale of land involves the grade of the land and the suitable grain species, etc., and the land prices in different regions are also very interesting. Qin Bai also combined the content of the lecture with the actual situation, and analyzed several granges and real estate of the Qin family mentioned in the separation ceremony, and inevitably mentioned the difference between the price and the actual value of these properties assessed by the long house when the family was divided.
Qin Jian was stunned when he heard this, as if he suddenly understood something, and when he thought of his grandmother and mother, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
Zhao Mo seemed to be interested, took out his experience when buying land, discussed the mistakes with Qin Bai, and then deeply reflected, saying that when he bought a property in the future, he would never make the mistake of the first time.
Qin Hanzhen felt that he was listening to the story from beginning to end, and he was quite interested.
Niu is very familiar with these and has little interest in participating. whispered to his granddaughter, and learned that there was no substance behind the eldest son's letter, so he helped Mama Tiger back to the cabin and continued to live at home.
The fleet went down the river, and when it arrived in Huaiyin a few days later, it received another letter from the capital.
At this time, Qin Ping had not yet received the letter that his parents had recently sent back to the capital when he wrote the letter, so he did not answer some questions from Qin Bai and Niu, but only said trivial matters at home, and there was nothing special about it. But on Qin Jian's side, there was an extra letter from her sister Qin Jinhua, and the envelope was written to Qin Hanzhen, and she was given only one, and the envelope was sealed with paste, which seemed to be very confidential.
Qin Jian only thought that this was a little girl playing, and gave the letter to Qin Hanzhen with a smile: "This is for you by my sister, I don't know what whispers are said inside, you have to avoid us, don't let us know." After that, he laughed again.
Although Qin Han couldn't guess that Qin Jinhua had anything confidential to tell him in his heart, he also thought it was cute. Looking at the words on the envelope that was marked only for herself, she also laughed: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll go back to the cabin and take a sneak peek." ”
As a result, when she returned to the cabin, she opened the letter and was really shocked.
Qin Jinhua was very annoyed, she felt as if she had done something wrong, so she wrote to the third sister, thinking that the third sister, who had always had a good idea, should be able to tell her what she should do.
The matter started when the second county lord of Shanyang Wangfu invited her to participate in the flower viewing tea party held by him at the tea party of Shu Wangfu.
Qin Jinhua originally thought that she could talk to the second county lord quite well, although she knew that the other party was interested in befriending her, but her temperament was not annoying, and it didn't matter if she made friends. When she went to Shanyang Palace, she was still very relaxed. However, because Ran Qiu, who was originally scheduled to go out with her that day, suddenly fell ill, and she didn't know what she had eaten wrong, and she had a stomach, so she casually ordered another little girl to go out with her.
The girls of the Chengenhou Mansion have undergone etiquette training before taking up their posts, and they often deal with the princes and ministers' mansions on weekdays.
Unfortunately, when Qin Jinhua was chatting with several county lords, county lords, and other invited ladies at the flower viewing party that day, the little girl who was temporarily ordered had a quarrel with the girl brought by another lady. I don't know what the other party said, the little girl retorted angrily: "You don't talk nonsense here! At the beginning, the eldest girl of our family often talked to the princess of Shu, and it was the princess of Shu who took a fancy to her, so why did she become a catch-up climber? Besides, the eldest girl is the eldest girl, and our second girl is not her, why do you want to climb the high branches like my sister now?!Who are your girls? Who are our second girls? Can you recognize your identity?!"
This quarrel was a bit big, and it even went to Princess Shanyang. She didn't seem to know until that day that the so-called Princess Shu took a fancy to Qin Jinyi as her little daughter-in-law, and she was stunned for a long time and didn't react.
