He Xin came back with the news, there is a small shop on the wharf, it has been open for more than 50 years, the owner is nearly 70 years old, every day facing the wharf, very familiar with the weather conditions in the Yangtze River ferry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 According to him, there will be no violent storms and rain in the next two days, and light rain is not necessarily, but it is impossible to say after that.

According to people around the pier, the old man has always predicted the weather very accurately, and people in the neighborhood call him "Shen Suanzi" because he runs a soup dumpling shop, and is also known as "Shen Suan Soup Bun".

And regardless of whether this god operator is really accurate or not, his judgment is always somewhat reasonable. If there is no heavy wind and rain, even if there is a light wind and light rain, the Qin family can still hurry.

Qin Hanzhen met with Qin Jian and Zhao Mo to discuss, and immediately decided to set off yesterday and hire a carriage to go to Jiangning by land, and no longer stay in Zhenjiang.

The owner of the ship got the letter, and he didn't say much, but rushed to find Zhou Xiangnian and returned 10% of the fare, as an apology for his fleet's failure to send the employer to the destination. Zhou Xiangnian entered the courtyard to report to the Niu family and Qin Hanzhen, and when he came out, he returned the bag of silver to the shipowner: "Our lady said, you should still take this silver." Your boats are all a little damaged, and if you want to repair them, it will cost you a lot, right? The cost of repairing the ship is naturally also among them. ”

The owner of the ship was very moved, accepted the money, and insisted on kowtowing in the front hall before leaving.

In less than half a day, the news spread all over the boat line in Zhenjiang. Everyone thought that the owner of the ship had been lucky to meet a good patron who was generous and compassionate. The rumors went round and round, and then turned to the side of the carriage and horse shop. The next morning, when the charioteers drove to the inn to wait for their employers, they were all courteous and kind.

Jinling is originally a good territory, and if you can go there, you may be able to see it for a long time. Now that they have a good customer, they will naturally not be disadvantaged in eating and drinking along the way, and they will not be unable to get back their money, and they may even get a rich reward. Isn't that a great errand?

What careful thoughts the charioteers had, Qin Hanzhen and the others naturally didn't know. Qin Jian, Zhao Mo, and Zhou Xiangnian worked together for a long time to choose this car and horse shop, and the other party naturally trusted it. Qin Hanzhen instructed his family to re-lock the suitcases that had been simply dried and move them to the carriage one by one. After the luggage was packed, she returned to the house, and together with Mama Tiger, Lily and others, she helped the grandmother out and sent her to the carriage.

The hired carriage, although it is the best one selected, cannot be compared with the car of the Marquis Mansion in the capital. But Niu's enjoyment of the life of the rich and noble Houmen is only half a year's work, and in the decades she spent in Mizhi, the carriage used is not as good as this one, so she didn't care. The carriage had already been cleaned by Zhao Mo's commander in advance, it was very clean, a thin quilt was laid, a hand stove was burned, and incense was smoked, which was already very good. Qin Hanzhen even felt that he was a little too particular.

However, although he is a little exquisite, he is more neat than Qin Jian. Although the affairs of the Qin family during their stay in Zhenjiang were ostensibly handled by Qin Jian, there was Zhao Mo's shadow hidden behind it. He was methodical, and in comparison, Qin Jian was three points inferior to him in terms of ability. It's hard for Zhao Mo to be low-key, and Qin Jian is allowed to show up everywhere, and if people who don't know have any praise, they all go to Qin Jian, and Zhao Mo doesn't care.

However, Qin Hanzhen knew this, and Qin Jian also knew it.

He felt a little sorry for his friend, but Zhao Mo said to him: "Don't be stupid, this is your Qin family's housework, I think it is for the friendship between the two of us, and it is also for the kindness of my uncle and grandma, so I will help you in private." Otherwise, why should I meddle in your Qin family's housework?"

Qin Jian suddenly realized, and was finally relieved.

However, Qin Hanzhen still remembered Zhao Mo's feelings, and he was a little upset for him.

Zhao Mo said something else to her: "It's rare that my uncle, grandmother and cousin are willing to believe me, and Brother Jian is also willing to give me a chance, I just think it's experience." Cousin, you know my situation. Now I can't do it anymore like when I was a child, I don't have to worry about everything, and my parents arrange everything for me. I had to learn as much as I could to be on my own. Otherwise, who else can I rely on in the future?"

Qin Han was really sad when he heard it, so he let him go.

The three children chose to travel by road, and it was not without rain on the way. But overall, the journey has been fairly smooth. Because Niu was unwell, they didn't dare to let the carriage go too fast, and when it rained, they had to find a place to hide.

When staying at night, they lived in an inn, Qin Jian and Zhao Mo led the Zhou brothers to help inside and out, Qin Hanzhen concentrated on taking care of his grandmother and taking care of housekeeping, and the night was also safe and stable, and he set off normally the next morning. In less than two days, the Qin family and his party had walked more than 100 miles.

When he was about to arrive in Jinling City, Qin Jian unexpectedly found that the third uncle ancestor Qin Bai had just left the city gate and walked towards the official road, thinking that could it be that his old man got the news and came to greet him?

Who knew that Qin Bai was even more surprised than him: "You came to Jinling so soon? I still counted the time, thinking about the body of your third uncle and grandmother, I am afraid that it will take these two days to get up." As soon as my affairs in Jinling came to an end for the time being, I wanted to rush back to meet you, but I didn't think about going out of the city before I met you. "I asked again where are the Niu family and Qin Hanzhen?

Zhao Mo led the horse and walked over: "Uncle, grandpa, grandma and cousin are all in the carriage behind." Where are you staying these days? Why don't we talk in a different place? There are many people coming and going here, and it is very inconvenient. ”

Qin Bai came to his senses and hurriedly said, "In that case, let's go back to Jiangning first." I've been in Jinling City for the past few days, temporarily borrowing someone else's house. Fang Cai has already said goodbye, but it is not good to turn back. Jiangning's ancestral house is not far from here, and we will talk again when we go back to the ancestral house. ”

He took Uncle Hu and Hu Yong's father and son to join his family. Niu talked to him through the carriage window for a while, and finally settled down. Huang Jincheng left six personal soldiers for Qin Bai to take with him, thinking that he was guarding, so they all accompanied the Qin family in front of and behind, and hugged the Qin family and turned to Jiangning.

Qin Jian happily rode a horse and reported to the third uncle what he had done in the past few days, and naturally he was indispensable to show his good friend Zhao Mo, and the third sister Qin Han's really outstanding performance also needs to be praised. Qin Bai was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised him repeatedly, and when he looked at the children, his face was full of relief and pride.

Qin Jian was even more excited, and Zhao Mo couldn't help but show a little joy.

Qin Hanzhen secretly lifted the corner of the car curtain, looked at the situation when his grandfather was talking to his cousin and cousin outside, and interjected with a smile: "Grandfather is in such a good mood, but what good things have happened?"

Qin Bai looked back at his granddaughter with a smile: "Naturally, it's a good thing." Isn't it a good thing that the three of you are so sensible?"

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "But before my grandfather heard what Brother Lobby said, he already had a smile on his face. It's clear that this good thing has already happened. ”

Qin Bai just smiled and said nothing, turned his head and asked about Qin Jian and Zhao Mo's homework.

Where have the two teenagers done their homework these days? It's just that they are urging each other to memorize the book. Qin Bai knew in his heart, and he didn't blame much, just let them go back and make up for their homework. Qin Jian and Zhao Mo's original excitement suddenly calmed down as if they had been poured a basin of cold water. Looking back and thinking about his previous self-satisfied appearance, he is a little sneering.

Qin Hanzhen snickered in the carriage, Niu pulled his granddaughter and poked her in the head gently: "If you are careful, your grandfather will ask you about your homework when he turns around, maybe you are not as good as your lobby brother and cousin Zhao." ”

Qin Hanzhen said angrily: "I serve in front of you every day, and I also memorize books, why am I not as good as them?"

Niu was about to laugh and scold his granddaughter, but he was out of breath for a while, but he coughed, and he even coughed endlessly. Qin Hanzhen was busy patting her on the back, and Mama Hu poured hot water for Niu to drink, and Niu barely stopped coughing.

Qin Hanzhen was a little worried about her grandmother's condition, she raised her voice and said to Qin Bai outside: "Grandfather, where is Imperial Doctor Shen? Can we ask him to come and check my grandfather's pulse again?" Grandmother's condition seems to be much better, but the symptoms are a little different, and she starts to cough, is it better to change the prescription?"

Qin Bai's face was worried, and he said, "Imperial Doctor Shen has his own things to do, and he may not be able to ask for it. But we can go back to Jiangning first. Jiangning has a good doctor and is very famous. When the time comes, I will accompany your grandmother to ask him for a doctor, and he will definitely be cured. ”

Does Jiang Ning have such a powerful doctor? How did his grandfather know that he hadn't come back for more than 30 years?

Qin Jian interjected: "Third Uncle Ancestor, which doctor are you talking about? By the way, some of the people I followed had come to Jiangning's hometown, and they must have heard of the doctor you mentioned, and maybe they could know where he lived. ”

Qin Bai smiled: "It's okay, I know where he lives." After a pause, "I will arrange for your uncle and grandmother to go to see the doctor." Although you are in the clan and you are not supervised by your parents, you can't play around and run out all day. In our family's ancestral home, it is the same as in our own home, daily homework, but it can no longer be delayed. Otherwise, carefully I will write to your father!"

Qin Jian shrunk his neck and whispered "yes".

Qin Bai retracted his gaze and sighed secretly. He didn't really want to say that. It's just that Qin Jian is the eldest grandson of the Qin family, and he must have seen the prince. If you accidentally meet the prince or someone close to the prince in the infirmary, the secret will not be kept. Just in case, this kid should stay in the house longer......

It's getting dark. The Qin family and his party finally arrived in Jiangning. The place where the Qin clan people live is a village near the water, not far from the official road. Walking to the entrance of the village, looking from a distance, the lights are gradually brightening, and the stars are dotted, this familiar and unfamiliar scene instantly brings Qin Bai back to the memory of his youth......
