There are not many people who know about his biological mother's situation, and even if they have heard of it, they just say that he is the only grandson of Yongjiahou Qin Bai now, and it is impossible for others to embarrass him in person, at most they just talk about it behind their backs. The He clan has the intention of currying favor with Qin Bai's golden thighs, and for his grandson, only those who do everything possible to please him will never make the child unhappy.
Even Qin Keyong of the sect has learned to be obedient now, in order to prevent his wife Xiao Huang from causing trouble, he specially instructed her not to provoke the people in the sixth room again, and also asked the concierge at home to keep an eye on it, don't let Xiao Huang go out at will.
Qinzhuang is different from the Chengenhou Mansion in Beijing, and even more different from the mansion in Jinling City. The place here is bigger and more open, and most of the people walking on the village are Qin clan members or servants of various houses, and even the female dependents don't have to shy away from it, and they can walk around freely, not to mention a boy like Brother Zi'er? He has grown so big, he is either trapped in Datong's house, or trapped in Qingfeng Pavilion, and the place for activities on the southbound boat is also limited, this can be said to be the first time he has come back to a place where he can let him run around, as long as there are people around him, he can go anywhere. His grandfather and grandmother didn't care about him, and his cousin of the Wu family also took him to recognize all kinds of crops, fruits, trees, flowers and plants, and let him go with his brothers in the clan to catch crickets, fly kites, and catch small fish by the water. The world is big, he can have fun to his heart's content, and he is almost crazy.
The Qin family lives in each house, and there are children in every house, some of whom are of the same age as Brother Zi'er, and can play with him; There are also those who are older than him, who have been watched by their parents in advance, and will carefully protect him while playing; and those who are younger than him, specially selected by the elders to be honest and well-behaved and do not like to mess around, and come to accompany him, just need to circle around Brother Zi'er. Brother Zi'er's schoolwork progress is faster than all of them, and by memorizing a few texts, he can easily get the praise of the elders in the clan and win the admiration and admiration of his friends. All this is something that Brother Zi'er has never experienced.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that among the friends who are more compatible with him, they have all entered the initiation class of clan studies, and they always have to find time to go to school every day, and they have to do their homework when they go home, so it is impossible to accompany him all the time. Brother Zi'er also has his own homework, and he didn't feel anything when he was alone in the past, but now he suddenly felt bored, so he begged his grandmother and ran to do his homework with his friends. In order to always remain the first among playmates and always get their admiration and admiration, Brother Zi'er has worked a lot harder than before, and he has been more attentive when practicing calligraphy.
Qin Bai was very happy about this, and said to the Niu family: "I forgot it before, I should find a companion for Brother Zi'er to read." Someone to study with him is not too lonely. There is a comparison in schoolwork, and his children are very competitive, so they will naturally work harder and strive not to be compared with others. Wasn't that the same way the children in the school used to be when I taught my students?"
Niu also remembered the past, and couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen Wang Fulin and them for a long time." When we went to Beijing, they said that they were going to take the county examination, but later they only heard that they had won the reputation of Xiucai, but they didn't know what the results of the township examination were?"
Qin Bai thought for a while: "I'm afraid it's almost hot." When Steward Liu went to Beijing to report the accounts last year, he didn't mention a few of them, presumably he failed to pass the township test. They are still young, and if they study hard for a few years, they will be able to win sooner or later. I've been teaching them for so long, and I know it by heart. ”
Niu sighed: "It's a pity that now that we are relatives, it is better to open a school to teach students in the capital, for fear of making people say that...... According to me, it's all about having enough to eat! You're just teaching a few elementary school students, and when you have a reputation for showing off your talents, you can do whatever you like, and you can continue to stay and ask you for advice, and it doesn't hurt to find another famous teacher, or you won't stop you from going to school like Shaoying and going to Guozijian like Shaoying. What kind of party is this?"
Qin Bai said with a smile: "Even if the emperor allows me to accept students, I don't bother to accept them anymore." Now it's not like ever, since I've done this Yongjiahou, once I say that I want to accept students, will you really have good materials and beautiful jade to send to the door? There will only be countless princes and magnates who send their children to the door, not their eldest son or only son, but the heir of the family who does not pay much attention, just need to borrow the name of my uncle of the country, not really study. I don't have a good reputation in Beijing, and if I teach their children badly, they won't feel too sorry. I can't push all the students who come to the door like this, and if I do, I will offend people. However, if the student's talent is dull and he does not like how he teaches, then isn't that adding to his own blockage? It is better to not accept any of them, and it is even more quiet. Besides, I'm also old, it's enough to teach Hanzhen and Guanglu in my spare time, so why bother with that god?"
Niu Shi frowned when he heard this: "It's not good to have this in the capital, and if you want to accept a satisfactory student, you have to get in the way." I had a new idea, "Why don't you pick a few good children from the clan, or choose people from among your relatives, and you take them with you to teach, and others can't say that you are a party, right?"
This is a good idea, but where can Qin Bai take care of it now? He smiled and said, "Let's see." For the time being, I have not found any good seedlings in ethnology. ”
The couple just chatted a few words, and when they spoke, in addition to their own family members, there were only Wu Shaoying and Zhao Mo, as well as a few male and female servants who were waiting closely. I don't know how, but the word got out. In just one day, Qin Kewen, who presided over the clan study, sent his six-year-old youngest son Brother Zhang.
Qin Kewen said to Qin Bai with a smile: "This child is also naughty at home, relying on a little cleverness, since he was a child, he is better than other brothers, and he always doesn't like to work his homework." In the past few days, I have been with Brother Zi'er, but I am more honest, and I know the truth of people, and I can bear to draw red and practice calligraphy. I saw that he had grown, and I was really happy in my heart, and I just hoped that he would continue to be sensible. Brother Zi'er must not have a satisfactory playmate around him, so it is better to ask Brother Zhang'er to be a companion to him, the two children often read and play together, and they can also supervise each other, so that both parties can benefit each other. ”
Qin Bai has seen Brother Zhang'er, and knows that Qin Kewen's words are true, Brother Zhang'er is relatively talented among the children of the younger generation of the Qin family, but his temperament is slightly out of his temper and his patience is slightly poor, but he has also improved recently. It is indeed a good thing to have Brother Zhang'er by Brother Zi'er's side, but Qin Bai knows that his family will not stay in the clan for long, even if he leaves Brother Zhang'er, it will be a few days of hard work. When they sent Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying away and set off for Shitang, it was time to return Brother Zhang'er to the fourth room.
Qin Kewen didn't care about this, but said: "If the third uncle doesn't think he is noisy, let him follow the third uncle and third aunt all the time, and let him see the world and open his eyes." ”
Qin Bai's eyes widened, did he directly stuff the child to him? Although he could understand Qin Kewen's thoughts, the six-year-old child ...... He's willing to do it!
Qin Bai did not directly agree to this, only said that he would let Brother Zhang'er come over to read and write with Brother Zi'er every day, and still go back to his own house at night, and see how the two children got along first.
Qin Kewen was not dissatisfied with this, and happily agreed, leaving his son to go home.
His wife didn't seem to have any complaints about this, and often came to talk to Niu, and by the way to see if her son needed anything, so that she could send something from home.
After Niu heard about Qin Kewen's suggestion from Qin Bai, he once asked his wife privately if she knew, but his wife smiled calmly: "Naturally, I know, and the Xianggong discussed it with me before sending Brother Zhang'er over." This is a good thing for Brother Zhang. We have several sons in my husband, but Brother Zhang'er is the youngest. Keeping him at home can certainly make him less worried, but his income is also limited. The third uncle is a person with a university question, if he can follow the third uncle for a long time, Brother Zhang'er will be inexhaustible for the rest of his life. For the sake of the child's future future, what is it to be separated from him for a few years? The third uncle and three aunts are all kind-hearted people, and the brothers, nephews and nieces in the family are also harmonious, and they will never make Brother Zhang'er suffer. He is at home, maybe he might as well live comfortably here with the third uncle and three aunts. ”
Qin Kewen and his wife both admitted their intentions very frankly, but Qin Bai and Niu's lost their temper. Qin Bai had tried Qin Kewen's character in advance, so he was relieved to hand over the family science to him. Now it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to keep his son by his side and be a companion to his grandson, but Qin Bai is a little awkward in his heart, and he always feels that this is a bit protonous. Besides, Brother Zhang'er is still young, so he is really separated from his parents, and he is not very kind. He thought that when he was in Jiangnan, he would have to return his nephew to the fourth room before returning to Beijing.
Brother Zi'er and Brother Zhang'er are getting better and better, they are inseparable every day, and the good ones are like brothers. Wu Shaoying saw that they were both pleasing and asked someone to make them exactly the same good clothes. The two children were dressed the same and appeared in front of people, and there was nothing they didn't boast about when they saw them, and some people joked that Qin Kewen's lady, when did she give birth to a pair of beautiful children, and she hid it from the people of the He clan?
Not long after, the sect also sent Qin Keliang and Feng's sons over to be with Brother Zi and Brother Zhang. Qin Keliang's son is the same age as the two of them, but his temperament is more stable, Brother Zi'er and Brother Zhang'er are all courteous, the three of them get along very well, often read and write in one place, and go to play together after finishing their homework. With a little brother with them, they never do anything to worry about. Qin Bai and Niu's saw each other, and they were even more pleased.
Therefore, the Niu family also changed his impression of the sect room, and felt that except for the Xiao Huang family, others were quite reliable. The two girls introduced by the patriarch and his wife, she first met the Xiao Feng family who lived nearby, and the Xiao Shen family, whose family is in Songjiang, still needs to wait a few more days before there is a reason to invite Jiangning to be a guest. However, she was slightly biased towards Xiao Feng in her heart, and felt that although this girl had ideas, she had an upright character, which was not comparable to women like He who were dedicated to crooked ways. With Qin An's soft-eared temperament, if he can have a daughter-in-law with a good idea to watch, he can also take less crooked paths.
Qin An's candidate for remarriage has not yet been finalized, but Qin Ping has already reached the time when he can't help but leave. Qin Bai and Niu's took their grandchildren and granddaughters, personally sent their son to Jinling Wharf, holding his hand, thinking of this separation, they didn't know when they would be able to meet, and they were extremely reluctant in their hearts.
Qin Ping kowtowed to his parents, instructed Qin Hanzhen a lot of words, turned to Wu Shaoying again, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to him: "Take it." In the future, when you return to the rice fat, it may come in handy. ”
Wu Shaoying took the letter in a daze, and looked at the aunt of the Guan family who was written on it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
