Chapter XVII
Qin Hanzhen has always been very good at opening her mind, and she immediately made up several bloody and common story development possibilities: "Could it be that the husband of the Xiao Huang clan wants to become the son of the sect and urgently needs the help of our capital branch, so her uncle also helps her please the eldest grandson of the long house?"
"It's also possible that Xiao Huang has done something sorry for our Qin family, and Second Master Huang is an insider, so he always feels weak in front of us, and he still wants to please Brother Lobby, hoping that he can help Xiao Huang say a few good words?"
"Or maybe Second Master Huang is within the Huang clan, but he is actually not as decent as he said. www.biquge.info he is here to take refuge with his brother and niece, to catch us halfway, and to try to show favor to Brother Lobby, in order to improve his status in the eyes of Xiao Huang and her mother's family?"
If it weren't for her grandfather Qin Bai's expression being obviously confused, she might have continued to make up for it.
However, just the possibilities she said were enough for Qin Bai and the Niu couple to be dizzy when they heard it. Niu Shi hurriedly said: "What kind of mess is this? Where do you come from so many conjectures?"
Qin Hanzhen smiled dryly: "This ...... It would be nice to analyze it. Usually in a situation like Huang Er's master, it is nothing more than these possibilities. Of course, there may be something I can't guess, and it will be possible to learn the truth only after I get to the Jiangning Qin clan. ”
Qin Bai couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. He said to his granddaughter, "You don't have to think about it there. Second Master Huang is looking for Brother Jian'er, not me, presumably what he is worried about is not a big deal. Since he didn't mean to tell me to wait, we didn't have to ask. ”
Qin Bai had no intention of meddling in the affairs related to the Huang family, but he was indeed a little unhappy in his heart. No one had mentioned to him before that the second son of the Qin clan in Jiangning was actually married to the daughter of the Huang family. Even if it's not a big deal, the Qin and Huang families have already had examples of marriages in the past, why didn't anyone remind him in the long house?
If Xiao Huang is just an ordinary son of the clan, it will be fine, but the Qin clan's son is weak and sickly and unable to take care of the clan affairs, and all affairs are managed by his brother, and Xiao Huang is his brother's wife. This means that Sanfang returns to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he may have to deal with the generation of the son and his wife every day. It's so embarrassing.
Maybe Changfang is the blood of the old lady of the Huang family, so he didn't think there would be any problems with the existence of the Xiao Huang family at all. Maybe the people of the Changfang just didn't take the clansmen of their hometown to heart, and they didn't think that the members of the clan would cause any trouble to Qin Bai. In short, they forgot to remind Qin Bai that this was their negligence.
If you have been prepared, the capital can write back in advance and ask the clan to have the real clan husband and wife come forward, or the patriarch can directly take over the sacrificial affairs of the three chambers. As Qin Baiyong Jiahou, the patriarch did not lose his share.
After Qin Bai was entangled for a while, he also thought about it. It's just a few juniors. It is true that he is the son of the Ye family in the stepfamily, but the Ye family has always acted uprightly, there is nothing to be sorry for the Huang family, and he is a hero of the Qin family. When he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, what did he have to worry about?
Thinking of this, Qin Bai sent his granddaughter back to the room to rest: "It's not early, it's so windy outside, it's so cold, what are you doing walking around the boat? What if you catch a cold? Hurry back to the room to rest." Ming'er has to get up early to hurry. ”
Qin Hanzhen came to report to his grandfather, and when he saw that Qin Bai had already understood the situation, he left obediently. On the way back to the room, she also heard her grandfather call someone to call Qin Jian and Zhao Mo over. Thinking about today, Brother Lobby and Cousin Zhao went ashore early in the morning, and if they came back so late after playing, they would definitely be criticized. There is no need for her to get involved in this kind of occasion. She snickered and ran back to her cabin.
A good night's sleep. When he got up early the next morning, Qin Hanzhen freshened up and went to have breakfast with his grandfather and grandmother. Today's breakfast is still called by Zhou Xiangnian from the restaurant near the pier, and it is different from what I ate yesterday, what bamboo shoots and meat potstickers, bamboo shoots and wontons, crab shell yellow, osmanthus lotus root sugar porridge or something, and it is a big table.
Qin Hanzhen was eating the cake wonton, and the sugar porridge was a little unaccustomed to it, and when he looked back, Zhao Mo and Qin Jian were both yawning constantly, as if they didn't sleep well last night, and they didn't even have an appetite for breakfast. She couldn't help but snicker, and asked Niu in a low voice: "Grandmother, what did my grandfather do when he called Brother Lobby and Cousin Zhao yesterday?
Niu pursed his lips and smiled: "They were really crazy in Yangzhou City yesterday, and they came back so late." They said they were going back to the ship before dark, but they even ate dinner outside. If you don't teach them a good lesson, how will they discipline them in the future? When they arrive in Jinling, which is also a prosperous territory, they are not allowed to run outside all day long? Your grandfather punished them for copying books, and said that they would check them in the afternoon today, and if they couldn't finish copying, they would not be allowed to get off the boat again until they arrived in Jiangning!"
I see! Qin Jian and Zhao Mo have long fallen in love with the idle action after every docking, if they are not allowed to get off the boat, they will definitely die of boredom, no wonder they are so desperate to copy books, they can't even sleep well!
Qin Hanzhen lowered his head and couldn't help laughing, and in order to cover up, he forced himself to stuff a chicken silk roll.
Qin Jian and Zhao Mo had actually noticed that she was snickering, and the former glanced at her resentfully. Zhao Mo was a little embarrassed, and secretly regretted it in his heart. Yesterday, he should have persuaded Qin Jian to return to the boat before dark.
After breakfast, the ship started. They slowly left the Yangzhou dock. Qin Hanzhen looked at the bustling street scene that was gradually fading away, and thought that he must find a way to play here for a few more days when he returned.
Because Qin Jian and Zhao Mo were punished by Qin Bai for copying books, today's teaching was temporarily suspended. The two teenagers gathered in the front cabin to work hard, Qin Hanzhen finished today's homework by himself, practiced for a while, and then brought tea and snacks to see them.
When Zhao Mo saw her come in, he hurriedly said, "Why is my cousin here?" There are a lot of things here, don't squeeze you." He took the tray from her hand again, "This is for us?" Thank you, cousin, for thinking. I'm feeling hungry, and it's going to be at least an hour before dinner!"
Qin Jian looked up and saw that it was a refreshment, and was overjoyed: "Thank you, third sister! I got up early today, my spirit was not good, and I didn't eat enough breakfast." You've done you a great favor!" he unceremoniously stuffed a small cake into his mouth.
Qin Hanzhen looked at the large stack of books and papers in front of them, some copied and some not, and he was a little curious: "How many more do you have to finish copying?"
Qin Jian said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it." The third uncle ordered us to copy the two articles of "Xianwen" and "Weizi" in the Analects ten times each. It's nothing to copy the book, but the third uncle also wants us to write beautifully, and take it to him after copying, if he draws any sentence to ask us a question, we still have to answer it. Where did we finish this little half-day effort?"
Qin Han was really puzzled: "Is it so difficult? You are all people who have read books for several years, haven't you read the Analects intensively?" Even she has begun to learn the Analects, both of which are several years older than her, so there should be no problem.
Zhao Mo explained: "I have read it, and my uncle and grandfather explained these two articles to us not long ago. But time was too short for us to do so. If it's really like what Brother Jian said, there is a little work for half a day, it's okay. There's still time for us to sleep. My uncle and grandmother didn't allow us to stay up late to copy books, and yesterday we asked Mama Tiger to pinch the candle flame on the third watch. We came back late yesterday, and after washing, we just copied the hour. It's really too late to calculate the time. ”
Qin Jian said with a sad face: "I don't want to eat lunch for a while." Can I tell the third uncle and the third uncle and grandmother that we can find some dry food to eat by ourselves? The time before and after eating adds up to half an hour, which is enough for me to copy more than a dozen pages. It's better than not being able to finish copying it before the time limit set by the third uncle ancestor, and being punished by him for not being allowed to get off the boat!"
Qin Hanzhen snorted: "You deserve it! Who told you to be playful yesterday and come back from outside so late? When my grandfather and grandmother had dinner yesterday, I don't know how worried I was about you." For your late return, even the plums were scolded. You are also people who have the opportunity to go ashore every day, why did you go to Yangzhou City and have fun?"
Zhao Mo said with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect it to be so late." Because we are not familiar with the place in Yangzhou City, it took some effort to find a good framing master. encountered a lot of interesting shops on the way, and Brother Jian couldn't help but go inside a few times and buy a lot of gifts for his family. After this delay, we almost forgot the time when the city gate was closed, and we didn't even bother to eat, so we hurried out of the city to settle dinner in a restaurant near the dock. ”
Qin Jian remembered yesterday, and was also a little sneering: "Good sister, we have already scolded the third uncle and ancestor, so don't count us down." I've also bought you a lot of good things, and I'll pick them up for you?"
Qin Hanzhen pouted: "Didn't I buy good things, don't think that you can buy me like this!"
Having said that, she sat down at their table, studied the book they had already copied, took a pen herself, dipped it in ink, recalled the contents of the two articles in the Analects, "Xianwen" and "Weizi", and helped her write silently.
Her handwriting looks like it's six or seven points, like Zhao Mo's handwriting.
Zhao Mo was a little surprised: "Cousin, what are you doing here?!" Qin Jian also poked his head over, his eyes straightened.
Qin Hanzhen said: "I'll help casually, I may not be able to help much, but just a little bit to reduce the burden for you." He said to Qin Jian, "I'm more familiar with Cousin Zhao's handwriting, so I'll help him copy it first." I'll try again to see if I can imitate your words. ”
Qin Jian hurriedly said: "It's hard work, sister! Guanglu can imitate my handwriting and ask him to help copy my copy!"
Zhao Mo glanced at him speechlessly, then turned his head to look at Qin Hanzhen's words, and somehow, his mood suddenly became happy, and even the movements of the pen were more brisk than before.
