Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Seal Stone

See a lot?

Qin Hanzhen blinked. Did my grandfather www.biquge.info see a lot of trap boxes of this type?

But Mr. Qin didn't seem to want to talk about it, and concentrated on making up the two silk packets. When I opened it, I saw that there were two square seal stones in the bread, one was pale yellow, like topaz, and like beeswax, the whole body was clear and transparent, delicate and moist, and the other was a milky white bottom, and the upper half was covered with small red spots of different shades, just like the stream was full of peach petals, which was beautiful.

Qin Hanzhen looked a little straight: "What kind of seal stone is this?" Forgive her for being lonely and unheard, she really has never seen anything like this.

Mr. Qin took the two seal stones in his hand and looked at them carefully, and then said with admiration: "Shaoying is really generous, and he has prepared such an elegant makeup gift for a little girl like you." These two seals are Shoushan stones, this is Tianhuang frozen stone, and that one is alpine peach blossom jelly, which are rare treasures. ”

Tian Huang?

Qin Han was shocked in her heart, although she didn't know what antique seal stones were, she had also heard that Tian Huang was very valuable, and there was a saying that "one or two Tian Huang and ten taels of gold". Wu Shaoying actually gave her a piece of Tian Huang Yin? Isn't that precious?

She hurriedly asked Mr. Qin: "Is it too expensive for my cousin to send me such a valuable thing?"

Old Mr. Qin thought for a while: "It's okay." Although these two square seal stones are rare, the color of this square yellow frozen stone is slightly lighter, and the peach blossom jelly is a little smaller, and it will be carved in the future, and the value will not be too expensive, and it will be a few hundred taels of silver. It is indeed a rare treasure in the border city, but it is not a very valuable thing, and it is suitable for playing in the boudoir. Since he gave this to you, you can just take it. When Ming'er saw him, she remembered to say thank you. ”

Qin Han was really a little uneasy, he accepted the gift of a few hundred taels of silver like this, he really just needed to say thank you?

But Mr. Qin didn't seem to take this matter very seriously, and admired the two seal stones with great interest, and told her what seals could be used to engrave them. When she grows up and thinks of what to carve, he will do it himself. He even mentioned what kind of seal should be used on what occasion, or the occasion that she might encounter as a girl.

Qin Hanzhen also calmed down, carefully admired the seal stone, and listened to his grandfather talk about the maintenance method of the Shoushan stone seal, until Mama Hu came to inform him that lunch was ready.

After lunch, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Qin family rested for a long time, ate a simple and delicious meal, and slept well at night to nourish their spirits. When he got up the next morning, Qin Hanzhen felt that his mental outlook was different from yesterday, and he must have suffered less on the way.

Mr. Qin also sent Hu Er to the pharmacy in the city yesterday to buy some medicinal herbs, and personally prepared incense pills, so that Mama Hu could put them in a purse and put them on Qin Hanzhen's body. If you don't feel comfortable on the road, take it out and smell it. Qin Hanzhen sniffed it, and only identified the smell of dried ginger powder and cumin, and the others were not clear, the taste was quite rushing, but it was not unpleasant.

Not long after, Wu Shaoying also arrived. He was dressed in a blue cloth robe and a black velvet cloak, which made him look long and jade. He came on horseback, followed by two pony carts, one with Cui'er and the flower seller, and the other with Cui'er's parents. They will return to the Qin family with the ancestors and grandchildren of the Qin family to testify.

Qin Hanzhen dressed properly and came out to salute Wu Shaoying-this was done with Zhang's mother before going out, she is now sick and weak, and she is young, even if there is anything wrong with her movements, the elders will not be surprised.

Wu Shaoying spoke to her gently, she thanked him for the two seal stones, and he smiled and waved his hand indifferently: "It was originally something handed down from my ancestors, and it was my grandmother's dowry." Her family was originally a scholarly family, quite a family, she is an only daughter, the dowry is very rich, and the family is famous. The old servants said that my grandmother had many such objects, but she had always been generous, and often took them out and gave them away, and when the things fell into the hands of other people, they were almost sold, and only a few dozen precious ones were kept. After I took it back, I thought that I was not good at these things, and it was useless to keep them, but it would make people blush, and it was better to give them away. These two prints are delicate in color, and I don't use them well, but a girl like you is a good match for it. When you grow up, ask someone to carve two idle seals for you, which are the two extremely elegant small seals. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "My grandfather promised to personally help me carve the seal in the future." ”

Wu Shaoying looked at Mr. Qin: "That's better." It's hard for a teacher to make a move, and the student heard that you haven't been a marker for nearly a decade. ”

Mr. Qin smiled: "When you are old, your eyes are not as good as when you were young, so why waste other people's good materials? ”

The carriage was ready, and Mr. Qin chatted with Wu Shaoying for a few words, and then went to the Wang family to say goodbye and thank them for borrowing the house for their own residence.

When Wang Fulin came out of the house, he brought many large bags and small bags with him more than when he came back, from the quilts and cotton clothes he wore, the fruit filling and vermicelli he ate, to the hand stove and charcoal burned. He was a little embarrassed, and apologized to Mr. Qin again and again: "My mother is worried that the students will be cold and hungry in the school, and she has repeatedly asked the students to bring these things, which is really rude, don't laugh at the teacher." ”

Old Mr. Qin said gently: "This is Lingtang's beloved son's heart, what's so rude? When you are well fed and clothed in school, and take care of your body, you can have the spirit to read and read good books. However, you can also persuade the Lingtang not to worry too much, you can go home after entering the wax moon. ”

Wang Fulin's face turned red, and he lowered his head and agreed.

Qin Hanzhen was hugged into the carriage by Mama Hu, and the others should also get on the horse, and those who should get on the car should get into the car. Wang Fulin caught a glimpse of two unfamiliar carriages in the convoy, and didn't ask much. Although he was sitting in the car, he lifted the curtain all the way, talking and laughing with Wu Shaoying, and Mr. Qin occasionally tested their knowledge, and they all answered fluently.

Probably because Qin Hanzhen's physical condition is better today, and because of the help of the anti-motion sickness medicine prepared by her grandfather, her motion sickness symptoms on the road are not serious, and she didn't vomit once, so they returned to the Qin family's mansion before noon. Wang Fulin took the little maid to settle down, Mr. Qin took Wu Shaoying to the middle courtyard to talk, Uncle Hu and Hu Er followed with Cui'er and others, but Mama Hu hugged Qin Hanzhen and went back to the room.

Qin Hanzhen knew that she was going to confront her second aunt He next, how could she miss such an important occasion? Hurriedly said to Mama Hu: "I'm going to my grandfather and cousin!"

Mama Hu frowned and said: "Sister, be obedient, you know everything, why do you have to listen to it again?" After a while, the second grandmother came over, and she didn't know what nonsense she would say, so she didn't have to pollute your ears. ”

Qin Hanzhen refused to agree: "I want to listen for my mother!"

Moved out of the Guan family, Mama Hu couldn't stop it anymore, so she had to say: "I'll take you to see your wife first, and then go back to the house to change into clean clothes, wash your face and come down again, how about it? Look at the dust on your body today!"

From the county seat to the village where the Qin family's mansion is located, there are dirt roads all the way, even if you take a car, you will be covered in dirt after half a day. Qin Hanzhen looked down and felt that he was very dirty now, so he no longer objected.

When they went home, naturally the whole mansion was alarmed. Zhang's mother hurriedly went to fetch hot water to wash Qin Hanzhen's face and hands, and instructed the kitchen to prepare a hot lunch for the people who came back.

The people in the west wing heard it, and there was movement. Taisheng's sister-in-law was ordered to come out to investigate for a while, and then went back and said to He: "It was the master who came back with Sister Sang, and Wu Shaoying also came with him, bringing many people, and I don't know what the origin is." ”

When He Shi heard this, he frowned: "Wu Shaoying, why is he here again? Isn't the funeral of the Guan family finished?"

Taisheng's sister-in-law shook her head: "I don't know if it's small." I saw the old man taking Wu Shaoying with him, as if he had gone to the study. The people they brought back were still waiting in the lower courtyard. ”

He raised his eyebrows: "Study? Wu Shaoying revisited the old place, and he didn't know what it was like, it was hard for him to be cheeky and pretend to talk to the old man as if nothing happened." After speaking, she sank her face again, "What happened in the county? The flower seller took the money and has been gone for half a month, why hasn't the county heard of any rumors?

Taisheng's sister-in-law hurriedly said: "The little one asked the people left by the uncle in the county, and they all said that they were staring at her and entering the doors of several big families, and she didn't have the courage to lie to her grandmother." It's just that...... For such a long time, it should be time for movement. Maybe my grandmother lived outside the city, far away, so she didn't hear it? I think that even if the wives and grandmothers of those big families want to gossip, they will tell the same wives and grandmothers, and they will not tell people to go all over the street. Grandma didn't socialize with them, how could she hear the wind?"

He Shi smiled contemptuously: "A few women from the rich family's family can be regarded as the wives and grandmothers of big families? What is the difference between them and the three aunts and six women on the street? It's just that there are a few stinky money in the family, and they can still pretend." She didn't bother to talk about the ladies in the county, but she was a little impatient in her heart.

She refused to make friends with those women, and now she can't go out. It's just that if she can't hear Guan's rumors with her own ears and confirm that Guan and Wu Shaoying can't turn over again, she won't be able to settle down. It's good to find a way to find out what's going on in the city.

Taisheng's sister-in-law gave her an idea: "Just tell the flower seller to run a few more times." If the rumors really spread, she could hear the movement when she went in and out of those houses. ”

He thought for a while: "Okay, just do as you say." It's just that...... Don't let anyone get the handle!"

Taisheng's sister-in-law hurriedly said: "Yes, the little one must tell the mother-in-law to be cautious." After speaking, he cautiously glanced at He Shi a few times, and said flatteringly, "Grandma, don't worry, the rumors you made up have a nose and eyes, and the eldest grandmother is dead, those people will definitely believe it! When I was in Datong, those military attachΓ©s and wives didn't talk like this? If you talk too much, the false will become true!"

He glanced at her with disgust: "Nonsense, how can it be fake?"

Taisheng's sister-in-law smiled and slapped her mouth lightly: "The little one is wrong, it's right to make the real more real!"

The master and servant looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, Mama Hu suddenly shouted outside: "Second grandma, the master and the wife let you go." ”

The He family and Taisheng's sister-in-law in the room were startled, and the smiles on their faces were a little distorted. The two looked at each other, not knowing what Old Mr. Qin and Niu's suddenly asked He to do?
