Chapter 719: Book Collection
In the end, Feng'er didn't go to Chengenhou Mansion with Qin Hanzhen, where did she go and who she found, Qin Hanzhen didn't ask much. She took the two girls Yuqian and Ganlu, who were originally serving in front of Zhao Mo, out of the door of the other courtyard.
After Qin Hanzhen arrived at the Chengenhou Mansion, he first walked to Qin Zhonghai, Yao and other elders.
Qin Zhonghai is still recuperating from his injuries, he reads books and plays music in his spare time, and his life is leisurely, and when he sees his niece coming, he is also loving. Qin Hanzhen took a turn around him, and then asked the Yao family to ask for peace.
Yao's has been calling himself sick recently, but in fact, there is no major illness, but he is too lazy to dress up seriously, and he wears a very simple style every day, and discusses with a few henchmen what kind of small clothes to make, men's and women's clothes are all together, at least thirty or forty pieces, each of which is finely done. No matter whether Yu Xinlan is born a man or a woman in the future, it seems that she can change into a new dress every day, and she will never wear an old one again. Qin Hanzhen didn't bother the Yao family to be a loving grandmother, but she still reminded her with a conscience that the child will grow up, and it will grow up quickly, you can leave a little margin when making new clothes, don't wait for the child to grow up, and she can't wear the clothes she prepared in advance, and she wasted Ayaluo. What's more, where is the clothes made for children, silk brocade and fine cotton cloth comfortable?!
Seeing that Yao's was thoughtful, it seemed that he was going to remake dozens of small muslin clothes, Qin Hanzhen hurriedly and quickly left.
She didn't go to Tingyuxuan, where the second room was located. Qin Shutao was entrusted by Qin Jian to stay in the Chengenhou Mansion during his brother's injury, just in case, so he did not move to Zhuangzi in the suburbs with his wife Min and daughter, but just went to visit every few days. Today happened to be the day when he went to visit his wife and daughter. Hearing that only the concubines and mothers-in-law were left in Yuxuan, Qin Hanzhen naturally wouldn't deal with them, so he came directly to Fuguixuan.
In fact, Qin Hanzhen also discovered that although the Min family did not mention the word separation, since the summer, she has taken her husband and children to the suburbs under the pretext of avoiding the summer, which is no different from splitting the family. It's just that now that Qin Shutao has returned to his home and sat down, and Qin Duan has followed Qin Jian south, it seems that there are fewer people living in Zhuangzi in the suburbs. But now that it is golden autumn and September, it is no longer the season to escape the heat, and it is not yet time to escape the cold, Min still has no intention of moving back to the city with her daughter, so she knows that she is doing it on purpose. In fact, Qin Hanzhen can also understand that now the Chengenhou Mansion is Yu Xinlan in charge. The Min family is not only an elder, but also a person who has been the housewife for more than half a year in Baoding, and now he has returned to his home to see the concubine's face, and asked her to obey the management of her nephew and daughter-in-law. In this way, the two sides live separately, and they can be at peace with each other. As long as there is a proper reason, the ladies of the two small houses are probably happy to do the same, right?
Yu Xinlan was taking the girls to sort out the books, not knowing what they were copying. Seeing Qin Hanzhen coming, she was quite surprised: "Why do you have time to come and see me today?"
Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "I heard the sound of gongs and drums on the street from afar, but it's a pity that it's inconvenient for me to watch the lively scene of Sister Cai's marriage, thinking that you are also alone at home, so I simply came to talk to you." ”
Yu Xinlan smiled: "You have a heart." I'm not lonely, but I'm glad to have someone to accompany me. She pulled Qin Hanzhen to sit down, and ordered someone to order the tea vegetarian order. As for the girls who were busy in her house, they told her to send them out.
Qin Hanzhen looked at the mess in the house, and couldn't help but be curious: "What are you doing here? It's not the sixth day of the sixth month of June, what are you doing when you turn out all the books?"
Yu Xinlan said: "If I have nothing to do, I will let people take out all the books and sort them out." Xianggong mentioned that this time he went south, and planned to invite a few scholars from the clan to Beijing and study with his uncles. I thought this was a good thing, but there really wasn't any collection of books in this house, only a lot of good books in Xianggong's study. However, there are hundreds of books in the dowry I have brought to the bridal party, most of which are not available outside, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find them. Xiang Gong read these books and thought they were good. I thought, pick out some of them that are useful for scientific research, ask someone to copy two more books, and send them to the outer study. When the uncles and people from the clan need it, they can look through it at any time. If it can help them, it can also be called a multi-arm. ”
Of course, in the marriage book, the most precious ones, she will not take out easily. She also has to think carefully about which books to copy, so she needs to carefully choose them one by one.
Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "This is a great thing! The books in my grandfather's study are also borrowed by people from the clan. Uncle Kewen mentioned that he was able to join the Jinshi in the current department, thanks to the fact that he was in my grandfather's study after going to Beijing and read a few more good books. Although I don't know if what he said is true or not, it is always right to open the book and read more good books. ”
Qin Hanzhen thought about it, and then he also had an idea: "The books in my grandfather's collection, in fact, I have all the manuscripts, and now they are all stored in the small Qin Building in the other courtyard." Two of the small buildings over there are full of books. Our county prince also asked his caravan to buy goods from various places, and if he encountered any new or rare books, he would buy a copy and fill it into Xiao Qinlou's collection. Therefore, the collection of books in those small buildings is still growing day by day. If the Qin family is here, when they want to study, they can go over at any time. It's quiet over there, and it's not an outsider's place, so even if they stay longer, it won't disturb our family's routine. ”
Yu Xinlan smiled and clasped her palms: "Such a great kindness!" I simply sorted out a list of the books here, copied a few more, and sent them to your Xiaoqin Building. If someone from the clan wants to study, they don't need to run around, just go to your courtyard together. It's just that...... Won't this really bother you and the prince of the county?"
Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "It's okay." In fact, we mainly live in the main mansion of the county king's mansion, but in the summer, when the weather is too hot, the other courtyard is cooler, so we will move here. It's September, and I'm long overdue to move back. But considering that it is more convenient to travel between the east and the west in the courtyard, I did not move for a long time. By the time Brother Lobby brings people back, I won't be living in the other courtyard for a long time, and I may have to go back to the fiefdom with the prince of the county to live for a long time in the future. The courtyard over there is now mainly occupied by my brother-in-law Zhao Qi. I'll send you the key to Xiao Qinlou when I go back, and then tell the gatekeeper, Brother Lobby can take people when he wants, and take care of Zhao Qi for us by the way. ”
Even when Yu Xinlan said that she wanted to copy the book, Qin Hanzhen also took it over: "The prince of the county recently found me two people who fell into the first place, and the characters are very good, and they are responsible for helping me copy the book." Whenever the prince of the county borrowed some good books for me from the palace, he asked the two people to copy one or two books, and then returned the original, but we added a new book to ourselves. At this time, the prince of the county is busy, and he has no time to borrow books for me for the time being, so the two lifters are also idle. Just ask them to copy the book for you, and it will save you all the effort. ”
Yu Xinlan didn't plan to copy the book herself, she originally wanted her girl to copy it. Her girl has also learned Chinese and ink since she was a child, and her knowledge is ordinary, but there is still no problem in copying books. It's just that after the book is copied, it is to be read by the readers in the Qin family, and the woman's pen and ink fall into the hands of the man, after all, there is still something wrong. Now that Qin Hanzhen can provide a candidate to copy the book, of course she will not refuse. Let the two people who have fallen into the first place see the precious collection of books in these high-ranking families, maybe they can also learn more things, and it is also a merit to stop falling into the first place in the lower department.
Qin Hanzhen and Yu Xinlan happily discussed the matter of copying books, and talked about Yu Xinlan's recent physical condition. Knowing that she was no longer happy, the fetus had been very stable, she herself had a normal complexion, a normal appetite for eating, and no hindrance to rest, Qin Hanzhen also relieved her heart. The two talked about Cai Yuanzhen's wedding again, and they were both a little worried about her life after entering the palace. However, at the same time, they all hope that she can live happily.
Yu Xinlan whispered to Qin Hanzhen: "I have filial piety and pregnancy, at least after May next year, I will have the opportunity to enter the palace to see me." You are different from me, when the Emperor Taishang lives long, you will be able to see Sister Cai. Bring one for me then. Sister Cai...... The queen must not have had an easy time in the palace. If you can, you can help. ”
Qin Hanzhen nodded: "Don't worry, I have been friends with her for many years, can I still look at her embarrassed?"
The aunt and sister-in-law chatted for a long time, seeing that it was not early, and Zhao Mo might be about to come back for dinner, Qin Hanzhen got up to say goodbye. She refused Yu Xinlan to go out to see her off, and repeatedly asked the latter to stay, so she took the two girls briskly and returned to the courtyard.
Zhao Mo hadn't come back yet, but he ordered someone to take a message home, saying that he could only get out after the banquet in the palace was over, and maybe there would be a second watch at that time, so that Qin Hanzhen didn't have to wait for him, and he would eat and rest by himself. Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but feel a little regretful while listening to the girl's return while changing her clothes.
She sent the girl who reported the news, and when she turned around, she saw that Feng'er hadn't come back yet, and the only ones waiting for her were Lianshi, Yuqian and Ganlu, and she couldn't help asking: "Are everyone else still watching the excitement outside?" Feng Jia has already entered the palace, and the wedding ceremony must have been held, it should be almost the time for the palace banquet now, what else can be lively on the street? Feng'er and Lian Rui should have come back a long time ago.
Lianshi said, "Lian Rui has just returned, but she has gone out of the courtyard again, and I don't know where she went." Feng'er hasn't come back yet. Lianye and Lianyi went home to visit relatives and said that they would come back after dinner. If the princess has something to explain, just tell us to do it. ”
Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "I don't have anything to do, but I asked in vain." Then her heart moved, and she asked again, "Where is Ah Shou?"
Lianshi hesitated a little: "Your steward has returned to the house today, presumably this son is talking to the shou steward, right?"
Qin Hanzhen was puzzled: "Agui is back again, what's the matter today? or is it that batch of urgent goods?"
"That batch of goods is fine, your steward has something to discuss with the prince of the county. Lianshi actually knew the answer, but he couldn't tell the specific situation, and quickly lowered his head again, "Princess Niangniang, do you need the slave maid to ask the shou steward to come over?"
Qin Han was a little bored in his heart: "No need." "Feng'er hasn't come back yet, but Ah Shou is already in the house, could it be that they didn't go out together?
