Chapter 198: Departure

On August 19, Qin Hanzhen's family boarded a boat at Jiangning Wharf. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She was also in the teahouse near the pier and met the Huang family's sister-in-law for the first time.

Mrs. Huang Jincheng is twenty-four or five years old, almost the same age as her husband, not tall, but very pretty, with a pair of red phoenix eyes that are very bright, and her speech is also refreshing. But when she looks at her children, her gaze becomes very soft, like a loving mother.

Compared with her sister-in-law, the Huang family girl has a different style of appearance. She was tall and jade, half a head taller than her sister-in-law, wearing a pea-green plain silk jacket and a pale yellow embroidered horse-faced skirt, making her more and more slender. She has a goose egg face, probably because she has been sick for two months, her chin is a little pointed, and her complexion is also yellow, but she is only coated with a light layer of fat powder, which is not very conspicuous. Although her complexion is not very good, she is born with long eyebrows and sideburns, bright eyes, and skin like clotted fat.

However, the beauty's personality seems to be a little shy, she has been slightly bowing her head, gentle and silent, and when others ask her a word, she will respond. Other than that, I don't like to talk very much.

As soon as Niu saw Miss Huang, he felt like it, and said to Mrs. Huang Jincheng in a continuous voice: "Your girl is so good! I often hear them say that there are some stunning beauties where there are, and people will be fascinated when they see them." I've never seen anyone like that, and I can't imagine what a beauty is like. Now it can be regarded as an eye-opener! Miss Huang is a beauty, right?" Even if she has not recovered her complexion after illness, she is still beautiful.

Miss Huang's face flushed slightly, her head lowered, and she pursed her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed. Qin Hanzhen sat next to her curiously and looked at her, she probably noticed it, tilted her head to look over, smiled slightly, and lowered her head again.

When she smiled, her eyes were clear. Qin Han really thought that this girl must be a kind and decent person, and he felt more and more unworthy of her in his heart. Such a beauty, such a temperament, such a family background, and still do not give up, what is wrong with the scumbag surnamed Zhang, who has to divorce her? Even if it is rumored that the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family is also a beauty, what kind of family is the Wang family? In front of him, he recruited two sons-in-law of the clan with prominent identities and bright futures, both of which were the result of restless family homes. Who does Zhang Gongzi think he is?

Mrs. Huang Jincheng is still modest with Niu: "You praise it falsely, our sister is just born with a slightly flatter head and a more straight face than ordinary people, but she doesn't dare to claim to be a beauty." How can we compare with the girls in our family?" Although she was modest, looking at her expression, she was still quite proud and proud, and she clearly agreed with Niu's opinion.

Everyone saw the salute and laughed a few words, and Mrs. Huang Jincheng ordered a pair of children to kowtow to Niu's to say goodbye. This time, she specially took her sister-in-law out for a walk, thinking that she was afraid that she would have to take a boat along the way, and for the sake of safety, it was better not to bring her seven-year-old son and four-year-old daughter. Therefore, the little brother and sister of the Huang family just went to the dock to bid farewell to their mother and aunt, and when the boat left the shore, they would go back to the city with their father. Probably because they had to be separated from their mother for a considerable period of time, the two children soon began to burst into tears. Mrs. Huang Jincheng hugged one in one hand, and she was also very reluctant, and she saw that Niu's eyes were also red, and she remembered her grandson who had said goodbye in Qinzhuang not long ago. Before he officially traveled, he began to miss him.

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly comforted her grandmother a few words on the side, and coaxed her into laughing again with a gag, which could be regarded as a sigh of relief. At this time, it was not early, the boss of the ship came to ask for instructions, Qin Bai and Huang Jincheng, Qin Keyong, Qin Kewen and others said goodbye again, and then ordered to board the ship and set off.

The Huang family hired another boat, which was specially used for the Huang family's aunt and sister-in-law, and also sent many male and female servants to wait, so there was no need for the Qin family to worry. However, at the beginning of this day, Qin Bai and Niu's still invited the Huang family's aunt and sister-in-law to their big boat, drinking tea and watching the river view, chatting at the same time, so that they could get acquainted with each other, and they would get along well in the following days.

With a female dependent, Qin Bai couldn't sit in the cabin for a long time, so after a few pleasantries, he took Zhao Mo to the cabin in the front building to watch the river view. They first had to go along the Yangtze River to the mouth of the Zhenjiang Canal, then turn into the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, go south along Changzhou, Wuxi, and Suzhou, and then turn overland from Suzhou, and take a car to Songjiang, where it is said that a relative of Qin Bai's mother, Mrs. Ye, settled down, and Qin Bai planned to visit it. After leaving Songjiang, they planned to turn back to the canal again, go to Hangzhou via Jiaxing Mansion, then go north to Huzhou, turn to Liyang, and return to Jinling. This is the route that Zhao Mo has walked, he is more familiar with the situation, so Qin Bai called him to ask carefully.

Only the female dependents were left in the cabin, and everyone was familiar with each other, and they were less restrained in their conversations.

Although Mrs. Huang Jincheng had never met Niu and Qin Hanzhen before, she had also heard about the relationship between the two families from her husband, and knew that the two families were not only relatives, but also had a friendship of working together, and they were a little closer in words and deeds.

Qin Hanzhen listened to her and the Niu family talk about the origin of the two families, and really found that the relationship between the two parties was quite complicated.

In addition to Qin Bai's brother and sister Qin Song and Empress Qin's biological mother is Mrs. Huang, and the biological grandfather of Huang Jincheng's brother and sister is Mrs. Huang's brother, their mother also has a younger sister who married into the Yao family, and the current eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, Yao, is the daughter of the Yao family. Huang Jincheng originally had two younger sisters, Miss Huang was the younger sister, and there was also a big sister who married into the Min family as a daughter-in-law. The second daughter-in-law of the long house, Min, is the sister-in-law of this Aunt Huang's grandmother.

In this way, the Qin and Huang families, connected to their in-laws Yao Min and the two families, are really connected. Why do these big families in the capital like to marry each other? The Wang family is also in-law with the Yao family, and the Yao family has a daughter who marries into the Min family. Regardless of their political affiliation, they are all relatives. It's just that the marriage between these families should be intended to be for the sake of interests, to find allies for their own families, and to enhance their own strength. But sometimes for the sake of interests, the in-laws often ignore each other's feelings, for example, in order to calculate Zhao Mo, the Wang family did not take the Yao family in their eyes, and used it when they said to Yao's biological son Qin Jian, without caring about his reputation and future. What is the difference between marriage and non-marriage? What kind of mess is this?!

Mrs. Huang Jincheng didn't know what Qin Hanzhen was thinking about there, but she was happy about the close relationship between the two families. She didn't feel that she was the maiden relative of the Qin family's original wife Huang, and Qin Bai was the son and daughter of the Qin family's stepfamily, Mrs. Ye's family, so what was there to be embarrassed about. Although Qin Bai is the son of the stepfamily, he nominally wants to call Mrs. Huang a mother, and he has a good relationship with Queen Qin, what is the difference between him and his own family?

In front of her own family, she spoke less fearlessly, and told Niu the truth about the troubles that her sister-in-law had encountered recently: "I have never seen such a brazen person! In the past, we looked at him well, but we only thought that he was young and talented, so his temperament was more jumpy, and it was harmless to act a little flamboyantly, and when he was a few years older, married and had children, he would naturally stabilize himself." Who would have thought that his nature would be so despicable?! I hate that he was too good at pretending to be good in the past, so that the elders thought he was a good one, so they gave him the marriage he set with Sister Fang, and almost missed Sister Fang'er for life!"

Miss Huang's maiden name is Qingfang, and now there is no need to shy away from talking between relatives and daughters, so Mrs. Huang Jincheng directly called her Sister Fang.

Niu's had only vaguely heard her husband Qin Bai talk about Huang Qingfang's marriage change, but he didn't know that the son of the Zhang family was married, and he chased him to Jinling to entangle, he was really surprised: "Wouldn't he be shameless, he is also a child of a serious official eunuch, or a scholar, how can he even ignore his shame?!"

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Huang Jincheng said angrily, "No wonder I often hear people say that most of them are scholars." If he wanted to be faced, he would not have pretended to be sick and quit the marriage, reneged on the contract and married another, let alone talk nonsense outside that our sister Fang'er was not good! He delayed the family affairs of other girls, and the girls were afraid of him, and if he wanted to hide thousands of miles away, he would have to catch up, and as a married man, he dared to shout in public why let Sister Fang wait for him. Why didn't he divorce his wife first?!Who did he think of our sister Fang?!"

She scolded Zhang Gongzi a few words fiercely, and then said to Niu's with a bitter face: "Just because there is such a bastard thing, shouting outside the back office every day, even Sister Fang is so tired that people talk about it, and there is also a commander in the back office The son listened to the bastard's words, and often came over to help say that he agreed, our family is really annoying, and seeing that Sister Fang's illness has also improved a lot, I decided to take her out for a walk." Okay, dodge the fly first. If he refuses to leave when we return, he may have to find another place to stay, so as not to have to be pestered again. ”

Niu said: "This is really unreasonable. Obviously, you have taken advantage of the reason, but the shameless man surnamed Zhang can still ask him to force you to have a home and not be able to go back? Is there any royal law left? Your family is not a small family, just order the officers and soldiers to drive him away and see what else he can do?"

Mrs. Huang Jincheng sighed: "He has a meritorious reputation, where is it so easy to catch up? We also wanted to drive people out, but I don't know what method he thought, he climbed to the son of the commander and envoy, and went in and out of the rear office every day in the name of others, so that we could drive people out, and people could welcome people back." It's really annoying!" She snorted coldly, her eyes flashing slightly, but she thought that her husband was preparing to deal with the commander. When they come back, the toad in the back office is gone, but we want to see what else the surnamed Zhang can do!

Qin Hanzhen had heard about these things from Zhao Mo a long time ago, and his eyes were really full of sympathy when he looked at Huang Qingfang. However, Huang Qingfang herself is very calm, she has been sitting with her head down, and only occasionally says a few words, as if she is a gentle and silent dignified lady.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a harp in the river, faintly getting louder and louder, as if it was approaching their boat. Qin Han was really curious about who was playing the piano, but he saw that Huang Qingfang's face changed, and he turned his head to look at the window, with a cold light in his eyes.

Her whole temperament has changed.
