Chapter 39: Urging
Brother Zi'er was in a bad mood, and Qin Hanzhen quickly noticed it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She asked Brother Zi'er, "What's wrong with you?
Brother Zi'er still smiled timidly and whispered, "I'm fine, sister." "I didn't explain my condition.
Qin Hanzhen looked at Niu Shi in confusion, Niu Shi touched his grandson's little face, and took his hand again: "There is no fever, it doesn't look like he is sick." ”
Brother Zi'er hurriedly said, "Grandmother, I'm fine, let's continue to play, shall we?"
Niu smiled: "Originally, I was to pass the time, so I played with you." Since you are not in good spirits, you should rest, there is no reason to play with your spirit. That's not playing, it's sinning. As he spoke, he asked the big girl next to Brother Zi'er, who had been to Mizhi's house and witnessed Qin Hanzhen falling down the dirt slope, but was punished by He's to tell the truth, and asked her to take Brother Zi'er to the kang to rest.
Brother Zi'er struggled in Xia He's arms for a while, and then obediently went to sleep without saying a word.
Qin Han really felt strange, and whispered to Niu's: "Brother Zi'er's condition is not quite right, it seems that there is something on his mind. ”
Niu Shi thought for a while: "He is a small person, what can he do?" After that, he called Brother Zi'er's nurse to ask.
The nurse didn't dare to hide it, but she didn't know much, only that Brother Zi'er went to the main house alone not long ago, but he stood in front of the door for a while and didn't go in. At that time, someone in the room was talking, and it seemed that He was crying and Mama Jin was comforting. The nurse didn't know what they said, but Brother Zi'er should have heard it outside the house, and she looked a little sad.
He is a very strict housekeeper on weekdays, and he is obedient to his daughter, but he is very strict with his son, and he is not allowed to pester himself all day long, and he will only see his son when he is in the morning and dusk. If Brother Zi'er ran around outside the specified time and ran in front of her, she would be angry, and even the nurse and Xia He would be punished. The nurse has been in the second room of the Qin family for many years, and she knows the rules of the He family and does not dare to violate them. When she saw Brother Zi'er standing in front of the main house, she was startled first, where could she take care of a lot, so she hurriedly picked up the child and left, so she didn't ask in detail.
Niu Shi listened to her answer, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I want you to take care of the child, this is how you take care of it? I don't know anything, what else do you want you to do?" She reprimanded twice, then sent the nurse away, and then turned back to complain to her granddaughter, "Look at it, the slut surnamed He treats her own flesh and blood so coldly, what else does she do!"
Qin Hanzhen knew that He was not a competent mother, and he was too lazy to care, so he was only curious about one thing: "Brother Zi'er is in a bad mood because he heard what He said?"
"Who knows, that slut can't spit ivory out of his mouth!" Niu said, "she's a broom star." When your second uncle comes, tell him to send people away as soon as possible. I'm not at home when she's still in this house!"
At dinner, Qin An came over. He's pretty much done with the printing money. Yan Hong handed it over and counted him as the main culprit, and he expressed to the prefect that he would divorce his wife in a few days, and naturally no one held him responsible. Those in the army and among the people who have borrowed debts have no mouth to say good things about him. When his boss and colleagues got the news, they changed their cold attitude towards him in the past, and they all admired him for being so decisive. 5,000 taels of silver said don't want it, it's really a big deal!
Of course, there may also be a credit to the gossip that has just spread. Qin An's parents came to Datong yesterday, and among the people who accompanied them were people from the Chengenhou Mansion in the capital, and the group was going to the capital in a few days. It is said that Qin An's father was the brother of Chengenhou, so isn't that the son of Yongjiahou? Yongjiahou was also a famous general in the army back then, but unfortunately he died unjustly. There were many people in the army who benefited from him. After learning that Qin An was such a famous general, their attitude was naturally much more cordial. Even people who have not received the favor of Yongjiahou will look at him differently for the sake of Chengenhou's mansion.
In contrast, what is He's background? Although she has played the signboard of being the daughter of an official family, Datong is an important border town where military generals gather, and the civilian power is much weaker. Besides, she didn't say the name of her mother's father and ancestor, and others intended to have a relationship with her, and when it came to hometown friendship, she couldn't say anything accurate. After a long time, who will buy her account? Many family members of civil officials are privately speculating that she is afraid that she is just bluffing people by raising her own worth. Now that she has done something wrong, it is natural for her man to punish her. She saved her life with dignity, but she was just suspended, and it was already Qin An's kindness to be able to avoid prison. At most, there are a few female dependents who have been friends with her, and they sigh a few words in private, thinking that they will quietly send her some food in the future.
In such a situation, Niu urged his son to send He away as soon as possible, but Qin An did not object.
He glanced at Brother Zi'er lying in the middle with some concern, and said to Mr. Qin and Niu's family: "In this case, in the next two days, I will find an opportunity to send the He family to the nunnery, right? The people who went to wait with him were also determined. I told the presiding officer of the nunnery that I would let her become a monk when she had finished giving birth. It's just that according to He's temperament, she will not be obedient and leave, for fear that she will make trouble and cause the two children to be uneasy. Sister Zhang'er, I have already sent a letter to the Chen family, and I will send her away in a few days. I'm afraid that Brother Zi'er will feel sad. He was a good boy and had always admired his mother. If he saw his mother being sent away, he would not know how uncomfortable it would be. ”
Niu frowned and said: "This child is also a fool, his mother treats him so coldly, he is as filial as ever." ”
Mr. Qin said, "It's easy. If you set a day to send He away, tell me. When the time comes, I will take Brother Zi'er and Sister Sang out in advance, and I will say that I will visit Datong City and coax the two children to be happy. By the time they got home, Ho was gone. Brother Zi'er doesn't have to face the scene of separation from his mother, even if it is uncomfortable, it will pass quickly. I saw that the kid knew in his heart that he would know what he was going to do. ”
Niu said: "In this case, when the time comes, I will accompany him more and make him happy, and it will be enough." Then asked Sister Sang to accompany him to read and practice calligraphy. He has something to do, where can he think so much?"
Qin An hurriedly thanked his father and mother, and already had a plan in his heart.
After dinner, he went back to the main house, and instead of going to He's bedroom, he went to the small study, which was actually his daily living place.
After he married He, because He was pregnant at the time and claimed to have the filial piety of her ex-husband, he did not have an official round house for the first three years. He was filial for three years before he and Qin An became an official husband and wife. But later, Qin An often went to the barracks, and He was pregnant with Brother Zi'er, and after giving birth, he recuperated his body...... and many other reasons, the two often live in two separate rooms.
Qin An didn't think there was anything, he got up early and felt dark, he only needed to see He Shi's lack of sleep and weak body, so he offered to stay in the study. It was He who cleaned up the so-called small study room in the east room of the main house for him and used it as his exclusive bedroom. Since then, it has become the norm for the couple to live separately. It wasn't until last year's Layue that the He family had a weak heart and deliberately became closer to Qin An, that this house was temporarily abandoned, and now it has come in handy again.
Qin An summoned Mama Jin in the house, handed her the twenty taels of silver sent by the account room in advance, and said, "Mama pack your luggage tonight, and leave early tomorrow." There's no place for you in the house. If you have the ability, find your own livelihood. Everything in this house has nothing to do with you from now on. ”
Although Mama Jin knew that he was going to drive herself away, she didn't expect that she wouldn't last a day. She was a little reluctant: "The second master doesn't need me anymore, why don't you let me wait for the girl?" Although I don't know where the second master wants to send the girl, she always needs someone to wait for her, isn't it?"
Qin An insisted: "No need. Mama's behavior is not suitable for teaching little girls, so you might as well find another job. ”
Mama Jin gritted her teeth, secretly pinched herself, and pretended to wipe her tears: "Second master, raise your noble hand, I really can't bear the girl, look at her, it's like seeing my own granddaughter......"
Qin An frowned and looked at her, feeling a little impatient, so he said, "If you are really reluctant, you will go to find her in the future." It's just that the Chen family is willing to take you in, but it's not up to me to decide. Go quickly, if you want to entangle again, I will save the twenty taels of silver. ”
Mama Jin had just lost hundreds of taels of silver in his hands, so how could she afford these twenty taels? She deliberately choked up and took the money and left, before leaving the East House, she immediately entered the West House to find He: "Oh no! Grandma, Second Master Qin is planning to send the girl to Chen's house!"
"What did you say?!" He was shocked, his face turned pale. She didn't care that she was still dizzy, so she turned over and got out of bed and staggered to the east house: "Second master, you want to send Sister Zhang to Chen's house? How can this work? Are you going to kill my daughter?!"
Qin An frowned and glanced at Mama Jin behind her, knowing that this woman was talking too much, and said, "What about sending it to the Chen family? Sister Zhang is the flesh and blood of the Chen family." When I married you, I swore to the patriarch of the Chen family that I would raise Captain Chen's flesh and blood, and then send him back to his sect in the future. Now that Sister Zhang is nine years old, since I want to divorce you, I naturally want to send her back to the Chen family. Don't you want her to follow you as a monk? You don't have to delay your child's future! What do you have to worry about? Sister Zhang is the flesh and blood of the Chen family, and the Chen family is also a big family in Linxian County, can you still lose her food and clothing?"
He choked for a moment, and then cried: "But the Chen family regards Sister Zhang as a thorn in the side, how can they let her live?!"
"Why can't the Chen family tolerate Sister Zhang?" Qin An felt that He Shi's words were strange, "If she is a man, maybe the Chen family will be worried that she will inherit Captain Chen's inheritance and harm their interests." But she is a girl, and in the future it will only be a dowry. With the wealth of the Chen family, they should not be reluctant to give even a dowry. If they are really reluctant, I will make up for it in the future. Sister Zhang has also called my father for so many years, and she only thinks it is my heart. You want to stop me from sending Sister Zhang back to Chen's house, don't you ...... As you told me earlier, Sister Zhang is indeed Captain Chen's flesh and blood, are you lying?"
He opened her mouth and wanted to say yes, but Mama Jin quickly pinched her back before she swallowed the words, just crying: "Sister Zhang has never seen the Chen family, and in the future, she will be under the fence of the Chen family, and I don't know how much I will suffer, so how can I be willing?"
Qin An said impatiently: "If you are really reluctant, let Sister Zhang go to live in the nunnery with you, how about it? ”
He gritted his teeth and wanted to agree, but he was reluctant to let the child suffer with her.
Just when she was hesitating, Qin An had already spoken: "Then this matter is decided." Waiting for the letter from the Chen family, I will send Sister Zhang back to Linxian. (To be continued.) )
