Chapter 43: Afternoon

Qin Hanzhen's words were not untargeted. [Full text reading.]

Since she crossed over, the person who spent the most time with her was Zhang's mother, and she knew Zhang's mother's temperament. This kind-hearted little woman is actually very easy to fool and is not a shrewd person, but she has a characteristic of her temperament, that is, she admits death and has clear grievances.

She hated the He family because of Guan's experience, so she dared to scold in front of her face and behind her back, without saying a word of kindness. Whether He treats her coldly or orders others to threaten her, she is afraid to be afraid, and she still scolds when she wants to. Just because she has already decided that He is a bad person and an enemy, no matter what good things the other party says, she will not change it.

With Zhang's mother's temperament, if she knew that her husband was not dead, he was still settling down in Datong City, living a prosperous life, and even a matchmaker came to him to kiss him, she would definitely ask a clear question. It's one thing to ask what to do after asking, but if she doesn't ask clearly, she can't get over that level in her heart.

Qin Hanzhen can understand Zhang's mother's temperament, and Brother Hun, as a son, naturally understands better. He groaned slightly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sister is right. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, you always have to ask for clarification. Otherwise, I will go home to see my mother, how can I tell her?"

When Hu Yong heard this, he smiled and said, "In this case, I will come forward and call someone." ”

Brother Hun stopped him and said, "Brother Yong, don't be busy calling people." Wait for me to go back and tell my mother, let my mother talk. ”

Hu Yong was puzzled: "Why is this? Could it be that you are afraid?"

Brother Hun shook his head and said, "Although I know my father, when he left home, I was only four or five years old, so I may not remember clearly." I asked my mother to come, but I had to recognize that person was indeed my father, so I could come forward to ask. Otherwise, if I make a mistake, wouldn't it be a joke? Even if I don't admit my mistake, how can I dismiss that person who refuses to admit his identity? Naturally, it would be more appropriate for my mother to come forward. ”

Hu Yong understood, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll let my father come over with your mother when I go back." I remember that your Zhang family's former residence used to be in the West Street area, which was not far from the Guan family. My father and mother have to go to the Guan family several times a month, maybe I have met your father. It's not that I'm boasting, my dad has the best memory, and if he sees someone, he won't forget it. With his help, your mother will be more sure. ”

He was right. Uncle Hu has been a servant in the Yongjiahou Mansion since he was a child, and he has been educated by the young master of the grandson, and he has received an authentic elite education from a wealthy family.

Brother Hun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked Hu Yong. Old Mr. Qin said with a smile: "In that case, then let's go back first." It's enough to go shopping for half a day, and it's not too late to go elsewhere on another day. ”

The group was about to turn around, but at this time, several middle-aged men dressed as merchants passed by them and went to the leather goods store not far away.

When the bearded man who looked like Zhang Wanquan came out, he looked surprised: "Why are you here? But what happened?"

The man who hit the head looked angry: "Haven't you heard? The third elder of the Wen family is too ...... to deceive people."

Before he finished speaking, the bearded man had already stopped him from going on, looking left and right vigilantly, and his eyes swept over Mr. Qin's party for a while, but because Brother Hun happened to turn around, he didn't pay much attention, but lowered his voice and said to the middle-aged men: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the tea room in the back." Then he led them in.

Qin Hanzhen heard a few words, and couldn't help but glance at their backs a few more times, curious in his heart. Is the "third elder of the Wen family" they are talking about the same as the Wen family's servants who were arrogant in the restaurant? I remember that the companion of the man who played his prestige at the tiger once told him, "The third master has instructed him not to make a big fuss." Could it be that this "third master" is the third child of the Wen family?

This question turned around in Qin Hanzhen's mind, and she didn't think about it anymore. went home and asked Qin Taisheng, and he would know.

When the ancestors and grandchildren returned to Qin An's house, the house was as calm as usual, and there were many fewer people who came and went. Qin An seems to have gone on a business trip, the backyard is quiet, the main house is already empty, and there is a lock on the door of He's bedroom, presumably even the master and servant are gone, and the cages in the house are also more than half.

It's rare that even Sister Zhang, who always has to make a few troubles every day in the West Wing, has stopped a lot. Niu was in a good mood, he had just eaten lunch, was eating, and was a little drowsy. When she saw her husband come back with his grandchildren, she showed joy: "It's fun in the city? Yo, Brother Zi'er seems to be very sleepy, so come to the kang and squint. ”

Brother Zi'er also has the habit of taking a nap on weekdays, and at this time, he has had lunch, eaten and drunk enough, and walked around the street for half a day, which is the time of exhaustion. On the way home, he couldn't hold it anymore, he fell asleep in his grandfather's arms, and only woke up half-awake after entering the door, still looking sleepy at this time. Mr. Qin smiled, handed over his grandson to his wife, let them sleep peacefully, changed his clothes, and lay on the kang to stretch his waist.

As for Zhang Wanquan's matter, Brother Hun went to mention it to Zhang's mother. There are also questions about the Wen family, and Hu Yong will also go to Qin Taisheng to inquire.

Qin Hanzhen went back to the study in the West Chamber, taking a nap. When she woke up, she saw Mama Zhang sitting in the corner of the house, holding a tooth-white cloth cloak, but it was made for her. But the cloak was only half sewn, and Zhang's mother was holding a needle and thread in her hand, but she didn't move for half a day, her eyes were red and swollen, and she obviously cried not long ago.

When Qin Hanzhen saw this, she knew that she must have heard what Brother Hun said, so he persuaded her: "Mom, don't be sad, maybe it's just a misunderstanding." I saw that the matchmaker left with a lot of leather goods, maybe she was a big customer. Uncle Zhang is likely to just socialize casually, and may not mean anything else. Besides, if the matchmaker can say such things to Uncle Zhang, it proves that Uncle Zhang does not have a wife at present, maybe it is good news?"

Mother Zhang came back to her senses and reluctantly smiled at Qin Hanzhen: "Thank you sister for comforting me." Whether it's good or bad, I'll always ask in person, and I'll know what's going on when the time comes. But the smile soon disappeared again, and tears welled up in her eyes, "If he just changed his mind and didn't want me anymore, I would have nothing to complain about." He is now doing business in Datong City and has opened a big shop, which is no longer comparable to the past. I'm a country woman, and it's not uncommon for me to be disliked. It's just that his mother-in-law is seriously ill and died, and Brother Hun is also his blood and blood, how can he even abandon them?

Qin Hanzhen saw that she had made up her mind, and she didn't say anything more, but persuaded her with a smile: "If your mother wants to go to that shop, remember to bring two more people, it's best to have seen Uncle Zhang before." I haven't seen you for many years, and it's just time to reminisce about old friendships. ”

Zhang's mother knew that she was asking herself to bring more people to support her, so she agreed with a smile, thought about it, and felt that she couldn't wait stupidly: "Delay until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I don't know what is important." At this time, it was still early and the family was fine, so I hurried over to identify someone. If Brother Hun admits that he is wrong, if it is really that dead ghost, I will definitely ask him what is going on!"

As she spoke, she dropped her needlework, said hello to Qin Hanzhen, and hurriedly went. Qin Han silently blessed in her heart, and her eyes were dark, but it was Chunhong and Xia Qing who came over to wait for her to get up.

Xia Qing helped Qin Hanzhen put on his clothes, and then went to tidy up the quilt. Chunhong came over with hot water and a towel, waited for Qin Hanzhen to wash his face, and muttered, "Mother Zhang is getting more and more confused now." Although she heard that her husband may not be dead, she was in a hurry to recognize her relatives, but the third girl still had an errand here, and she said that she would leave as soon as she went, which was really unconcerned. ”

Qin Hanzhen said disapprenously: "What does it matter, I don't have anything important here, just have you here." She's the right thing to do, so of course she'll have to figure it out as soon as possible. ”

Chunhong said with a straight face: "The third girl's words are not right. What kind of serious matter is it to spare her, a slave and a servant, in front of the master, where is there anything serious except to serve the master? That is, the three girls are merciful and reward her with a grace, and she should also ask the lord and the wife for instructions, and if it is not good, she must ask the tiger grandmother for leave, so that she can go out. It's all like her, just go out when you say it, are there any rules in this family?"

Qin Hanzhen frowned, feeling harsh, but he didn't want to say more, he only asked, "Have grandfather and grandmother taken a nap?" Where are Uncle Yong and Uncle Taisheng?"

Chunhong replied: "The master has already gotten up and is talking to Uncle Wu in front." My wife is still asleep, and my brother has not yet risen. As for those two, they are from the outer court, I don't know. After answering, she persuaded Qin Hanzhen again, "Three girls, there is a difference between inside and outside." Although those two are the servants of the elders of the three girls, they are also foreign men. It's better for the three girls not to see them when they're free. If there is any command, tell us, and we will go to the second gate and tell the grandmother guarding the door, and let them tell it, that is. ”

Qin Hanzhen threw away the towel with some impatience and called Xia Qing: "Comb my hair for me, I'll go see my grandfather and cousin." ”

Xia Qing glanced at Chunhong, replied, combed Qin Hanzhen's bun hair, and was about to send her out. Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "I'll go by myself, you can do it yourself." With that, he left.

Xia Qing saw that she was far away, so she turned around and pulled Chunhong into the house, and complained in a low voice: "Why is my sister confused again?" I said earlier, although the third girl is young, she is smart, no less than a few girls in the house, not something that my sister can fool with three or two words. My sister said bad things about Zhang's mother a few times before, that's it, how should the three girls behave, they have their own three masters and three wives to discipline, what does my sister do with more mouths?!"

Chunhong said disapprerovingly: "Why am I confused? I am also for the good of the third girl." She will follow the third master and the third wife into the Hou Mansion in the future, these rules will have to be learned sooner or later, and if she gets used to it earlier, she will not make jokes in the future. According to me, the rules of the three rooms are too loose. In this An Wuye's house, there are no rules. I always hear people in this family say that An Wunai is the daughter of an official family, and her upbringing is not comparable to that of ordinary women, but how does she manage her family? ”

Xia Qing stomped his feet and said, "You're really crazy! The affairs of the master's family are also something you can discuss? What are the rules of the third room, is it your turn to take care of it? You want to die, but don't bother us!" she turned around and left.

"You don't understand what I'm thinking. Chunhong snorted lightly, "You said we want to be big girls, but it's enough to be diligent and careful?" )
