Since the New Year, seeing that the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the day of leaving Jiangning is getting closer and closer, Niu has been in a state of anxiety. She knew that the day of separation from her grandson and brother Qian was coming.

When she left Brother Qian in the capital, she didn't feel so anxious when she went south to Jiangning with her husband Qin Bai, perhaps because she thought that she would be able to reunite with her grandson in a few months. But this time, the grandparents and grandchildren are separated, and they will not see each other again for several years. Thinking about it like this, how can she stand it in her heart?

When he was young, he stayed with his parents and didn't see his grandparents until he was three years old. At that time, Niu was just worried about his grandson, but he didn't remember it so powerful. But once she spent a long time with her grandson, the feelings between her grandchildren became stronger and stronger, and the reluctance in her heart deepened.

During the day, when Brother Qian went to class at the clan school, she couldn't help but want to go over and take a few looks, and asked Brother Qian to accompany her for three meals a day every day. Probably because the attitude seems too doting, even Qin Kewen, who presided over the clan study, couldn't help but come to see Qin Bai in person, and tactfully asked him to persuade the old wife to give the clan a little more confidence, Brother Qian'er will not be wronged if he goes to school in the clan study, Mrs. Hou doesn't have to come over every day to keep an eye on it, which has already affected the efficiency of the children's classes.

Qin Bai actually knew where the old wife's knot was, so he could only persuade him slowly. Niu also knew that he was not good like this, so he reluctantly endured it and stopped going to the school. But thinking that Brother Qian would have to live alone in the clan in the future, even if there were people waiting around him, he might not be able to be meticulous and thoughtful, so she gave a rich gift to the Zongfang, Sifang and other rooms that lived in Qinzhuang all the year round, and asked them to take care of their grandsons. Especially the ladies at the head of these houses, each of them got the exquisite jewelry and high-quality clothes presented by the Niu family, and in addition to the surprise, they all played the package ticket, swearing that they would definitely take good care of Brother Qian'er, treat him as their own son, and never make him suffer at all.

Regarding Niu's actions, Qin Bai was noncommittal. It's just some possessions, and when you give it away, you give it away. It is given to his own family, not an outsider, not to mention for the good of his grandson. As for Qin Hanzhen, she was depressed at most, but more often than not, she explained her grandmother: "If you don't worry, just send someone to see Brother Qian a few times a year." If you are afraid that he will lack something, you can also send it to him. Write to him every month and ask him to write back to you as well. Even if the two places are separated, it doesn't mean that the news will be cut off. Don't make a fuss as if you really won't be able to see him again for years. As long as you are in good health, even if you come to Jiangnan once a year, what does it matter? Anyway, your grandfather will definitely not refuse you. ”

Niu Shi was angry and amused when he heard this: "Nonsense! How far is Jiangnan from the capital, how can we come here every year? We have been here once, but now it has been more than a year, and we have not gone back." If we really want to come to Jiangnan every year, our family doesn't have to live in the capital, just settle down in Jinling!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "It can't be every year, it's okay every other year." Anyway, let's say to the outside world that we are here to worship our ancestors and sweep the tombs of our ancestors. Who can stop us from doing our filial piety? It's just that your grandfather and your body must be able to bear it. If you miss Brother Qian all day long, even if you go back to the capital, you will be worried, you can't eat well, you can't sleep well, your body can't stand it, you have a headache and brain fever, don't want to go far away!

Niu Shi knew the meaning of her words as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "You girl, obviously a filial piety, if you want to persuade me to follow your grandfather, why do you have to make fun of people? If I am really sick, who will your brother rely on in the future? I will have to live a hundred years before I can be his supporter!"

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "You say so, where can you put my grandfather and second uncle?" Anyway, you just love your grandson more, and my granddaughter is just grass. ”

Niu couldn't help but poke her in the head: "What kind of jealousy do girls eat? I love your brother well, but I also love you." Who is angry when he says such a thing now?" and laughing with his granddaughter, but he put aside the previous idea of sorrow for the time being.

If Niu is not sad, he will be sad for others.

He Xin, the governor of Jiangnan of Yongjiahou Mansion, came to Jiangning to see Qin Bai in the past two days, in addition to reporting to Qin Bai the latest situation of several industries in Jiangnan, he came to listen to orders. Because Qin Bai was not sure when he was going to leave, he must have something to tell He Xin before leaving, so He Xin stayed in Jiangning for a few more days.

He asked someone to bring Qin Hanzhen in, mentioning that he wanted to take his niece out. is not to take the family to play for a few days, but to officially take Qingxing home to say goodbye. Qingxing is now the eldest girl waiting by Qin Hanzhen's side, and she is nearly eighteen years old after the New Year, which is the age of marriage. If it is in the Hou Mansion in the capital, it is common for a big girl of this age to be released to marry. He Xin knew that Qingxing would not return to Beijing with Qin Hanzhen, and there was no errand to do if she stayed in Jiangning, so it was better to tell her about her family. While Qin Hanzhen is still the master, he will take people away now, maybe he can ask for a dowry for his niece, maybe Qin Hanzhen will have another reward. Money is a trivial matter, and he is now rich in hand, just for that rare dignity.

Although Qin Hanzhen knew that he would be separated from Qingxing, he didn't expect this day to come so early. She thought that she would wait until the day she left Jiangning before she needed to say goodbye to Qingxing. But He Xin's love for his niece and nephew made this day earlier.

After Qingxing heard the news, she also stayed for a long time, and she didn't even notice that the feather duster she was holding in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously. It was still Baiqiao who picked up the duster and stuffed it back into her hand, she came to her senses, held the duster tightly, and tears fell: "Why are you so anxious? I told the fourth uncle a long time ago, everything has to wait until the girl leaves Jiangning......

Qin Hanzhen understood as soon as he heard it: "Your uncle has already mentioned this matter to you, why didn't you tell me? If I had known earlier, I would have been prepared now, and I wouldn't have been in a hurry." ”

Qingxing sobbed: "I told the fourth uncle, let him not mention it...... Why do you want me to wait until the day the girl gets on the boat......"

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "Qingxing, you don't have to be like this. Your uncle just wants to get a decent look for you, and even if you go home, you can come to see me every day until I leave Jiangning. It's not that if you go out, you'll never see me again. I'm grateful that your uncle told me about this in advance, and he's still talking to you. While I'm still in Jiangning, I'll personally inquire about your family affairs. If your uncle told you that the people are not good enough, I will not let them go!"

Qing Xing choked and didn't speak.

Bai Qiao smiled beside him: "Sister Qingxing can't bear the girl." These days, she is worried almost every night, tossing and turning in bed and unable to sleep. I asked her what was wrong, and she wouldn't say, but everyone could see it. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give up the girl. Where else in the world can we find a good master like a girl who is kind and generous? If you leave this house, even if you marry a good family, you don't know how you will live in the future. When I think about this, I panic in my heart. ”

Qin Hanzhen heard this, so he took Qingxing's hand and said, "Don't panic, even if you get married, you are also from our Yongjiahou Mansion." Good sister, you and I are no more affectionate than others, you know it in your heart. Don't worry about what will happen in the future, if someone bullies you in the future, your uncle will not be able to support you, you just have to come to me. Just let the people waiting in the ancestral house here send me a letter. You must take good care of yourself, and don't wronged yourself when you are angry. ”

Qing Xing kept nodding her head when she heard this, and her tears fell more and more.

He Xin is still waiting for news, he has a small house near Qinzhuang, and after taking his niece out, he doesn't have to worry about having no place to live. Qingxing and Li Zi brothers and sisters often go there when they have time, so there is no shortage of clothes in the house. Qin Han really thought about it, and felt that there was nothing to prepare for Qing Xing, but a makeup box that had been specially packed up before, which was originally intended to be given to Qing Xing when he left, but now he could give it away in advance.

The box was a foot square, three stories high, with a glass mirror, and each small drawer inside was filled with gilded silver and pearl jewelry, and there was a hidden compartment containing a silver ticket of one hundred taels. This is the private house and dowry specially prepared by Qin Hanzhen for Qingxing, and there are ten horsees of Songjiang cloth and ten fine silks, all of which are also prepared for Qingxing. Now that the things have not been sorted out, Qin Hanzhen asked people to take out the makeup box first, and asked people to go to the warehouse to adjust the cloth.

Qing Xing was startled when she saw those things: "This is what the girl gave me?

Qin Hanzhen said: "If you give it to you, you will keep it." If you are uneasy, just when I am a girl who is very generous, and she is very generous to the henchmen around her. In the future, they will be the same, if they concentrate on doing things for me, they will satisfy me. When they get married, I will not treat them badly either. ”

Baiqiao, Lianrui, and Lianshi were very happy to hear it: "We heard it." The girl is a good talk!" and went to persuade Qingxing, "The girl rewarded it, and my sister just accepted it." If you don't accept it, how can we, who come later, have the face to ask the girl for a reward?"

Qing Xing was entangled by them, but she still laughed after all, and accepted Qin Hanzhen's reward with a red face.

Qin Hanzhen asked her again: "Since you already knew that your uncle was coming to pick you up, do you know who he told you about?"

Qingxing bit her lip and hesitated for a while before whispering: "I only know that it is a solid family in Jinling City, the family has a house and a field, and two shops, that man is two years older than me, is the only son in the family, has studied in the school for two years, and now helps the family ......at home."

It sounds like the conditions are good.

Qin Hanzhen said: "Go back and let Li Zi inquire." With your brother in check, I think it will be foolproof. ”

Qing Xing's face turned red again.

Qin Hanzhen smiled and called Baiqiao to pick fabrics for Qingxing together, specifically according to the colors and patterns she liked. Qing Xing looked at their enthusiastic appearance, was grateful, and secretly made a decision.

Even if she leaves the girl, she is still the girl's person, and she has to do things for the girl. How Brother Qian'er is doing in Jiangning, she will write a letter to the girl to report, whether the uncle of the Wu family is doing well in Jinling, she will always pay attention to it, take care of it everywhere, and even ...... If there is anything wrong with these clansmen, stewards, and subordinates in Jiangnan, she will also secretly pay attention to it and report it in time. Even if she is as close as the fourth uncle, if there is any disloyalty to her master, she will not cover it.

She He Shan kept in mind that in this life, since she had decided to be loyal to Qin Hanzhen, she would never forget her oath.
