Qin Hanzhen stared at the man suspiciously. I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that this man has a bit of kindness. But she had clearly never seen him.

Zhao Mo walked in from behind her and said, "Cousin, don't go so fast, beware of falling." Seeing her stunned, she couldn't help but stop, followed her line of sight, glanced at the strange man with the same puzzled gaze, and turned to Imperial Doctor Shen: "Lord Shen, this is ......"

Without waiting for Shen Weiying to answer, Qin Jian had already followed in. When he saw the man, he was taken aback: "Uncle Jin Cheng, why are you here?!" and then smiled again, "But the family sent you a letter?

Huh? Is it actually Qin Jian's acquaintance? Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo looked at him together.

Qin Jian greeted the man with a smile, and the man nodded to him with a gentle expression: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, you have grown up a lot, and you look like some adults." I didn't know that your family was letting you follow Yongjiahou, but your father was also relieved to let you go away at a young age. ”

Qin Jian was stunned, and stood there with a puzzled face: "Uncle Jin Cheng doesn't know that the family asked me to follow the third uncle and ancestor out......?"

The man didn't answer, just looked up at the door. Qin Bai helped his wife Niu Shi into the lobby, and looked up at him calmly, as if he didn't seem to be much surprised.

The man smiled slightly, his eyes bent, and several obvious crow's feet instantly appeared in the corners of his eyes. He saluted Qin Bai: "Huang Jincheng, the new commander of Jinlingwei, will meet Yongjiahou and Mrs. Yongjiahou." ”

Qin Bai paused: "It turned out to be Lord Huang, I really didn't expect it." This sentence is a bit strange. Qin Hanzhen glanced at his grandfather suspiciously.

Huang Jincheng continued to smile and said: "Huang is about to take up his post in Jinling, and he is ready to board the ship tomorrow. Hearing that Yongjiahou was here, Imperial Physician Shen happened to be Huang's old friend, so he came to visit, but he didn't expect to meet Brother Jian. It's better to meet by chance, Huang and Hou Ye happen to be on the same road to the south, how about walking together?"

Qin Bai nodded politely: "I don't dare to ask for it." Then everything will bother Lord Huang. ”

Huang Jincheng hugged his fists again: "Master Hou is polite." ”

As if he had just said these few words, he took his leave. A large group of people in the lobby were overwhelmed, and they walked away in an instant. Qin Bai didn't say much, but nodded at Imperial Doctor Shen: "Lord Shen has worked hard. Imperial Physician Shen smiled and arched his hand: "Master Hou is polite." In this way, we can all feel at ease. With that, he also went back to his room. Qin Bai turned around, helped his wife Niu, and continued to walk towards the small courtyard of his bag.

Qin Hanzhen was still a little stunned. Why didn't she understand the meaning of the conversation between her grandfather, Imperial Physician Shen and that Huang Jincheng?

Qin Jian also muttered, and he whispered to his friend Zhao Mo: "It's really strange, why does the third uncle seem to know in advance that Uncle Jin Cheng will come?

Zhao Mo didn't bother to ask him what he was talking about, he only asked, "Who is this person, how do you recognize him?"

Who is Huang Jincheng? That's a long story. He and the Qin family are still relatives, but they are not relatives of the third room.

Lao Yongjiahou married an original wife and gave birth to a pair of children, Qin Song and Queen Qin, but died in childbirth when he gave birth to his daughter. A year later, the old marquis remarried Mrs. Ye, and then gave birth to Qin Bai. The old lady who was originally married to her maiden name was Huang. Huang Jincheng is the grandson of her brother-in-law.

Maybe the old lady of the Huang family died too early, after the old marquis remarried, she was very affectionate with the step-room Ye family, and the Ye family was a well-known virtuous person, and took good care of the pair of children left by the Yuan match Huang family, and the light once overwhelmed the original match, so that the whole capital only remembered her as Mrs. Yongjiahou, and rarely mentioned the Huang family. But she is really a good person, and her actions are impeccable, and the Huang family can't say that she is not, so she is a little embarrassed.

If the Huang family is crooked, seeing that Qin Song, the eldest son of the Huang family, hates his stepmother, he may take the opportunity to make waves. However, the Huang family is upright, and the whole family, except for a few people who have said something unpleasant in private, basically has no intention of using Qin Song to disturb the Qin family, and even some dislike Qin Song's improper character, does not seek progress, and refuses to listen to the teachings and admonitions of the elders, and is very disappointed in him. As time went by, the relationship between the two families gradually drifted apart, and there was less contact. However, Mrs. Ye still maintains the exchange of gifts for three festivals and two birthdays every year, so that the kinship between the two families will not be severed.

The Qin family was in trouble, and the Huang family was somewhat implicated. But at that time, the old man in his family died, and all the men in the family who had official status returned to their hometowns to worry, but they also survived the difficulties safely, but it is a pity that they will have time to return to Beijing to save people in the future. After the Qin family was rehabilitated, they were also happy for Qin Song and Empress Qin. Due to the death of the old people in the family one after another, Ding's worry period was not over, and they still lived in the countryside until the emperor reinstated the Huang family, and then returned to the capital. At this time, Qin Song had returned to the Qin family, the soul of Empress Qin had passed away, and Qin Bai had also left the northwest, and there was no chance to meet the Huang family.

After the Huang family returned to the circle of eunuchs in the capital, they also thought about getting closer to Qin Song. Helplessly, Qin Song's temperament is really unpleasant, he doesn't hold a grudge against other families, he just hopes that his uncles and cousins can listen to him and contribute to his power. The Huang family had no intention of doing this, and they didn't understand that they were turning their faces against him, but they were just drifting away, but they were closer to the East Palace. This time, it was Qin Song's wife's turn to maintain the etiquette of three festivals and two birthdays every year, and maintained a kinship relationship with the Huang family, moving around from time to time. But when it comes to relationships, it's not intimate. People who don't know the inside story can't tell that the Huang family is the maternal uncle of Cheng'en Hou Qin Song.

Qin Bai has had no contact with the Huang family since he was a child, he is the son of the Ye family, and he rarely has the opportunity to contact the Huang family. There was no grudge against each other, but they both felt embarrassed, so they abided by the tacit agreement to avoid each other. After returning to the capital, he had heard about the Huang family, and he also knew that at the banquet of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Huang family was also a guest, but the other party's people did not come to give him a gift, and he would not abruptly invite someone to come over to speak. He is like this, and so is the Huang family. The tacit understanding between the two sides has been going on for decades, and it has been like this since Qin Bai can remember. Today's appearance of Huang Jincheng is really surprising.

At least Qin Jian was surprised. He pulled Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo back to his room, and whispered to them about Huang Jincheng's family history and the relationship between the Qin family and the Huang family in detail, before he said: "Looking at Uncle Jin Cheng's expression, it seems that he has known that the third uncle ancestor is here for a long time, and he specially came to meet him." This is so strange! I thought the Huang family was deliberately avoiding the third uncle. When I went home to hold a banquet, I heard Yulan from my mother's side mention that the third uncle and grandmother didn't know the Huang family's aunts, and when they saw that the Min family was talking to them, they came up to talk. The aunts were very embarrassed, so they casually answered a few words, and then found an excuse and walked away. Fortunately, the Min family knew the reason for this, so they diverted the conversation, and did not ask the third uncle and grandmother to come to the stage. As a result, now Uncle Jin Cheng actually took the initiative to come to the door. ”

Qin Han was really puzzled: "Does even the Min family know about this kind of thing?" Grandfather didn't even mention it to his own family? At least he didn't mention it to her own granddaughter! Grandmother Niu's family, most of them didn't know. When she saw Huang Jincheng just now, she had a blank look on her face.

Qin Jian replied: "The Min family naturally knows that everyone is a relative. Uncle Jin Cheng's mother, there is a sister who married into the Yao family, and my grandmother is a concubine. Uncle Jin Cheng's eldest sister is a cousin who is married to the third aunt. ”

So that's the case, no wonder the daughters of the Huang family will mix with the daughters of the Min family at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, it turns out that Huang Jincheng's sister married into the Min family. Maybe among the daughters of the Min family who talked to their grandmother Niu at the banquet, there was a daughter of the Huang family.

The in-law relationship between these large families is really complicated. Qin Han really thought about it a lot, but he was dizzy.

Zhao Mo asked Qin Jian: "I heard that Lord Huang just say that he is the new commander of Jinlingwei, this is the official of the fourth grade, right? He looks so young, and he looks like Si Wenwen, I really can't imagine that he is already a fourth-grade official." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Jian also wondered: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be? Uncle Jin Cheng is younger than my third uncle, and he is the same age as my little aunt." Last year, he came to Tianjin to be an official, and when he went to work, he had a wine at home, and my father and mother took me over to congratulate him. I remember that at that time, his official position was the Zhenfu of the Tianjin Wei Command Envoy Division, which should be the official position of Wupin. With just over a year of hard work, how did he go from the fifth grade to the fourth grade in one go?"

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "The official has been promoted to the third level, he must have made a great contribution, right?"

Qin Jian didn't know anything about it: "I haven't heard my father and mother mention it. In the previous Qixi Festival, the Huang family sent Qiao food to my sister and fifth sister, but I didn't hear anyone mention it. If my family had known about it, my father would have instructed me to congratulate Uncle Jin Cheng when I passed through Tianjin. But my father never said it, and mentioned that although Uncle Jin Cheng was in Tianjin, I was going out with the third uncle, so don't make trouble for the third uncle. That's what I mean by not visiting Uncle Jin Cheng, right?"

The three children looked at each other, puzzled.

Qin Hanzhen ran to the window and looked out, and he could just see the boat docked at his own house on the edge of the dock from a distance. I saw that not far from the ship, I don't know when there were three more boats, and there were soldiers in military uniforms carrying things to the boat, and Huang Jincheng stood aside to supervise. That must be the boat he was going to take south, right? This is to take his own soldiers to Jinling to take up his duties?

She turned her head to look at Zhao Mo and Qin Jian, and shrugged her shoulders: "Although I don't know what is going on with this Lord Huang, he is also a relative of our family, and he is also familiar with Brother Lobby." Maybe it's a little awkward to get along, but he shouldn't have any ill will towards my grandfather. He's going to Jinling, we're going to Jiangning, and it's the same way. Walking together, with his soldiers on the road, we can also be safer. That doesn't seem like a bad thing, just wait and see. ”
