Just the day before the banquet, a letter from Datong arrived from Qin An. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qin An had only heard of his father's identity not long ago, and knew that he was from the Qin family, the famous Cheng'en Marquis Mansion in the capital, and he was already taken aback at that time. Now that he learned that his father Qin Bai also attacked the Marquis of Yongjia during his grandfather's lifetime, he turned into a small military attache from a small family and became a noble son of Houmen, and he was so surprised that he didn't know how to react.

General Ma, the leader of the army on the side of Datong Mansion, also seemed to have received the news from his relatives in the capital and personally came to congratulate him, and the news spread among the Datong army. Qin An's identity suddenly doubled several times, and his popularity seemed to have become much better. Now he has several times more good friends with Qin An than before, and people often invite him to eat or something. knows that he is a serious person, and he doesn't pull him to play prostitution and gambling or other pastimes, just pull him to drink and watch plays.

Qin An is not very accustomed to such an identity change, but he is still very happy about his father's succession. In his family letter, he learned about the emperor's house, as well as his brother Qin An's work as a guard in front of the palace, and he was also happy for his brother, and his previous worries could finally be put down. He also looked forward to the day when he could go to Beijing to reunite with his family, but he thought that he had neglected to let his ex-wife have the opportunity to kill his sister-in-law, so he felt that he had no face to ask his family for anything. In the letter, he told his parents that he was living well in Datong, his boss was kind, and his colleagues were friendly, and he had lived there for so many years, and he had already become acquainted, and he didn't want to leave for the time being, so that his father and brother didn't have to worry about his future.

As for the Niu family's mention of Sister Zhang'er in the previous family letter, Qin An didn't say much, only that Sister Zhang had an illness before, which delayed the opportunity to leave, and there was no response from the Chen family, so he asked Sister Zhang to stay at home for a few more days. However, after Sister Zhang'er's illness recovered, he took two mothers-in-law and two family members to send Sister Zhang back to Chen's house in a car. At the same time, there was also a hundred taels of silver, which was ready to be used for Sister Zhang'er's expenses in the next two years. The Chen family was also surprised to see him going, saying that they hadn't made up their minds yet, and they didn't know who to send to Datong to pick up people, and they were also very happy when they saw that Qin An took the initiative to send people over, and even told Qin An to rest assured, saying that they would take care of Sister Zhang, and then quickly accepted the silver and invited him to have a meal.

Due to the early death of Sister Zhang's "biological father", she is now fostered in the Chen clan's home and raised by the patriarch's wife. This is a decision made by the Chen clan after some quarrels. Qin An personally saw the house in the patriarch's house of the Chen clan, and also saw the house where Sister Zhang would live in the future, and talked to the patriarch and his wife before leaving with confidence. From beginning to end, the Chen family didn't ask about the news of the He family, and they didn't reject Qin An, but looked very friendly. Therefore, Qin Anxin thought that time had passed, and the Chen family had probably lost his anger, and in the future, he would exchange letters with the Chen family and send them to the east and west, and there should be no obstacles. In this way, he handed Sister Zhang into the hands of the Chen family, and there was nothing to worry about.

When Niu learned that Sister Zhang had been sent away, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to her husband: "Brother An is rare to be decisive, I'm really worried that he will be soft-hearted." Sister Zhang has a bad temperament, but she is not as vicious as her own mother, and she doesn't even care about human life. I was afraid that Brother An would watch her grow up since she was a child, and she would be reluctant to ask the child to say a few words, and forget what she promised us before. Fortunately, although he was reluctant, he still sent people away when it was time to send them away. ”

Qin Bai smiled and said, "No matter how soft-hearted Brother An is, he will not break his promise." He had repeatedly promised in front of us that he would send Sister Zhang away, and he would not change his mind until we nodded. However, Sister Zhang was able to be sent away obediently, which was a bit unexpected. ”

The person who came to deliver the letter was a young woman in her early forties, who claimed to be called Sister-in-law Ma, who was originally an errand boy in the porter's room, and was not very important to the He family in the past. After Qin Taisheng returned to power, he began to promote her. She looks like an honest person, but she is actually quite clever. Hearing Qin Bai and Niu's words, she took the initiative to expose the news: "The master and the wife don't know, and Sister Zhang didn't want to be obedient." When she was sick before, the second master suspected that she was pretending, but when he invited the doctor to come to see him, he said that she was indeed a cold, so the second master didn't say anything. She pretended to be sick, and when she saw that the second master no longer mentioned the matter of sending her to the Chen family, she only said that her trick had succeeded, and she slowly got better. The second master didn't say a word, and when he was resting that day, he took two more days off by the way, asked someone to set up a car, and personally sent Sister Zhang to the car. Sister Zhang thought that the second master was going to take her out to play, but when she saw her mother-in-law send her luggage to the car, she realized that something was wrong. But at that time, it was too late to pretend to be sick again!"

When Niu Shi heard this, he snorted coldly: "Sure enough, she is pretending to be sick! With such a mother, being a girl is not a good thing! Fortunately, this time our brother An didn't let her deceive her." ”

Sister-in-law Ma smiled and said: "The second master is amazing! Sister Zhang got into the car, and saw that the second master refused to be accommodating, no matter how she cried, she refused to keep her down, and she was making a fuss about jumping out of the car halfway." Looking at her like that, it seems that she wants to suffer a little injury, so that the second master will be soft-hearted and leave her behind. The second master rode on the horse, pointed at her nose with a horsewhip and said, this time he would send her to the Chen family no matter what, and it was impossible to leave her behind. If she was really injured halfway, then she would have to recuperate at Chen's house, so she could go if she wanted to. Sister Zhang suddenly didn't dare to make any more trouble. She also knew that the second master was iron-hearted this time. If she is obedient, she may be able to live a more relaxed life after arriving at the Chen family, and the second master will miss her in the future, and maybe he will come to see her a few times, which will also make the Chen family dare not underestimate her. But if she is really injured and offends the second master, don't say anything about her own offense, and when the second master leaves, the people of the Chen family will treat her badly, who will she go to?

The corners of Niu's mouth curled slightly when he heard this: "That's how it should be done! Dealing with this kind of little girl, if you soften it a little, she will have to inch in!"

Qin Hanzhen was listening to the audit, and he also felt happy in his heart. Qin An can decisively send Sister Zhang away, which shows that this second uncle is still saved. She asked Sister-in-law Ma again: "Is there any movement on the He family's side?" Also, the Chen family didn't ask her a single question, have you heard about her fate?"

Sister-in-law Ma hurriedly said: "The He family has lived in the nunnery for a few days, and when he knew that the old lady was gone, he also sent someone back to see Sister Zhang. The second master listened to it a few times at first, but then he didn't pay attention to it, and said to the person she sent that he didn't come to the door again, if he came to the door again, he would drive people out. Within a few days, the second master sent Sister Zhang away, and the He family was quiet for a few days. Until she heard about the old man's attack on the lord, she came to the door again, this time in person, in a small car, wearing a gray cloth robe, combing a mustache, with a yellow face, when the wind blew, the whole person was so thin that only a handful of bones remained......"

Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened: "She still came to the door?What does she want to do?Is she going to eat back grass?!"

Niu Shi suddenly slapped the table angrily: "She doesn't think about it! What kind of daydream does this cheap person dare to do? Who are we, how can we tolerate such a depraved thing as her?!"

Qin Bai also frowned.

Sister-in-law Ma hurriedly said: "Master, wife, sister are angry, although the He family is daydreaming, our second master is not confused." The second master didn't pay attention to her at all. She still wanted to go to the neighbors to cry, she wanted to pretend to be pitiful, and ask others to say good things for her, but no one would pay attention to her. Others are not stupid, in the past, when the second master was not a young master of Houmen, he could have divorced her, what kind of good character could she be? Now that the second master is developed, she wants to climb up again, what a dream! She still has the face to cry there, saying that she is willing to be a concubine for the second master, and begging the second master to have mercy, but many neighbors have been attracted to smack at her, saying that she is shameless. Now there are several second master's comrades, saying that they want to tell the second master a virtuous new daughter-in-law, but the second master doesn't mean that. ”

When Niu Shi heard this topic, he immediately became interested: "What did Brother An's colleagues tell him? He doesn't have to be ashamed, he is still young now, and sooner or later he will marry again." If he has something he likes, we don't have to look for him in the capital. ”

Qin Bai said: "He mentioned this matter in the letter, haven't you finished reading it?"

Niu Shi hurriedly leaned over to look at the letter in his hand: "Where is it? Where is this written?"

Qin Bai pointed out to her that Qin An did mention it in the letter, but he said that he had no intention of remarrying for the time being, and just wanted to concentrate on his duties, and wait until he was promoted to an official by his own ability, returned to the capital, and then mentioned something else.

Niu sighed: "Son, this is a cheap person surnamed He, who is sad." But where is such a cheap person worthy of such a sad person? He has no one around him to take care of him now, and he will only think more and more about that cheap person, when he will find him a virtuous daughter-in-law, he will slowly turn around, and he will no longer think about that cheap person. ”

Qin Bai said: "Let's look at it." We don't have to be in a hurry, we have to make our son willing in his heart. Otherwise, he will not have a good time, and he will also affect other people's good daughters. ”

Niu reluctantly responded. Qin Hanzhen saw that she was sad, so she thought about changing the topic, so she asked Sister-in-law Ma: "Do you know why the Chen family's attitude towards the second uncle is suddenly much better?" Don't ask the whereabouts of the He family, do you know about her? The second uncle sent Sister Zhang over, and they accepted the person without saying a word?" Didn't you say that the Chen family claimed that Sister Zhang was not the flesh and blood of Captain Chen?

Sister-in-law Ma said: "The younger one went with the car at the time, and saw with his own eyes that the patriarch of the Chen family was respectful to our second master, and he didn't mention the matter of the He family. However, the Chen family invited the second master to a banquet, and the younger ones ate below, and they heard the gossip of their family's subordinates, saying that the Chen family is not as good as before, and even their patriarch's family does not have much silver. The second master sent a hundred taels, and they were very happy, and said that if they raised a sister Zhang, they would be able to get so much silver every year, and they would marry someone out in the future, and the second master would also accompany them with a rich dowry, and they had nothing that they couldn't agree. How much can Sister Zhang'er eat for a child? Aren't all the rest cheaper than the people who raised her? Therefore, the Chen family would quarrel and decide that the patriarch's family would raise her. However, I heard that the wife of the patriarch of the Chen clan was not very happy in private, saying that Sister Zhang'er's identity was unclear, and her mother was still a ...... Uh......"

She hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was not easy to mention the word "****" in front of Qin Hanzhen, so she changed her words: "She is still a woman with a bad reputation, such a girl is raised by her side, so that outsiders will know, I am afraid that it will ruin the reputation of the girl of the Chen family." However, the mother-in-law who was waiting beside her persuaded her, saying that she just didn't let outsiders know. Listening to their words, I'm afraid that I don't plan to ask Sister Zhang to go out to meet people in the future. ”

It seems that Sister Zhang'er may not have a good life in the future. However, Qin Hanzhen didn't pity her at all in his heart.
