Chapter 16 Meals

Qin Hanzhen asked lightly, and Qin Jinhua replied casually: "It's Mama Canan, it's our family's son." In the past www.biquge.info, she often came back to the house to see us, and when we went to the East Palace, she treated us very kindly. When she died, my sisters and I cried so badly. As he spoke, his mood went down.

Sure enough, it was the maid of the Qin family who married into the palace. Qin Hanzhen thought of his grandfather Qin Bai, and thought to himself that he must know this grandmother, right?

She was thinking about finding a way to inquire more about the situation and turn around to tell her grandfather, but she heard Qin Jian lower her voice and said, "You talk quietly, don't let your grandfather know, he can't hear about Mama Canan now." ”

Qin Hanzhen was stunned, not understanding what he meant. Qin Jinhua sniffled and said sadly: "What is grandfather angry about? He has always respected Mama Canaan, and two days after Mama died, he turned his face. not only drove all of Mama's family out of the house, but also forbade the family to mention her...... Obviously, when Mama just died, my grandfather specially instructed my mother to go to Fahua Temple to do a Dafa ceremony for Mama. I was there and heard it with my own ears. ”

Qin Jian poked her head lightly: "What are you asking about the elders, you just need to do it." Although your grandfather, grandmother, and father and mother all love you, if you don't have eyes, and you know that your grandfather doesn't like it, and you have to mention Mama Ganan in front of his old man, and you annoy your grandfather, I can't protect you. When the time comes, you'll be scolded, and you'll be crying again. Qin Jinhua's mouth was pouting, but looking at his expression, he was obedient.

Qin Jian turned his head to Qin Hanzhen and said, "Third sister, you should also be careful." It doesn't hurt to tell the third uncle and the third uncle and grandmother these things in private. If there's anything else you want to know, feel free to ask me. But if my eldest brother knows, I must know everything. It's just that my grandfather is angry now, and if the third uncle mentions Mama Canaan, and the two elders quarrel, wouldn't it ruin the brotherhood?

Qin Hanzhen wasn't sure if he was warning or reminding him sincerely, so she just agreed. However, since Qin Jian said that she could just ask, she was not polite: "Why did this grandmother die?"

Qin Jian paused for a moment before replying, "I heard that it was an emergency." Then he didn't say anything more, not even what the illness was.

Qin Hanzhen felt that what he said was a bit untrue, could it be that there was any secret to the death of that Mama Canan? She couldn't help but think of the word "Qiao" that her father Qin Ping said when she was in the carriage. In addition, Cheng'en Hou Qin Song happened to be the saint who was lost shortly after the death of Mama Canan, and now he is acting so taboo against her, obviously he has an inside story. It seems that there may not be so many coincidences in the world, and there is actually an unknown relationship between things and things.

Qin Hanzhen didn't expect her to find out anything, she only planned to tell her grandfather, grandmother, and father about the news, and let them make up their minds.

Because of the mention of Mama Canaan, Qin Jinhua was a little depressed. But the little girl's mood changed quickly, and it didn't take long for the fifth cousin Qin Jinrong and the sixth cousin Qin Duan, the two sisters-in-law, to quarrel over a toy when they were playing, Qin Jinhua, as the eldest sister, went over to persuade a few words, and when she returned to her original seat, she had already regained her smile.

She enthusiastically persuaded Qin Hanzhen again to move to the Mingyue Dock where she lived to be her companion. This eight-year-old girl moved to Mingyuewu to occupy a courtyard exclusively, that is, for a year, and she is still a little unaccustomed. Although she was accompanied by so many maids-in-law, she still felt very lonely in her heart. In the peach blossom pavilion closest to her, there are two sisters living in the second room, who have never been close. The progress of the lobby sister Qin Jinyi's homework is different from her, the two don't get along much, and the fourth cousin Qin Jinchun has communication barriers. She desperately wanted her like-minded sisters to move in and be with her day and night. After chatting with Qin Hanzhen for a while, she felt that she was very close to this cousin, so she naturally tried her best to invite.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't do anything about her, but it was impossible to promise her, so the two were deadlocked there. Thanks to the lobby brother Qin Jian, he kept sitting on the side with a smile and watching the excitement, and he didn't want to say a word.

It was Qin Hanzhen who began to feel impatient, thinking about whether he was ruthless and resolutely refused Qin Jinhua, Qin Jian opened his mouth: "Sister, don't be strong." There are elders above the third sister, how can you do whatever you want? She promised you this time, if the third uncle and grandmother refuse, she still can't accompany you. The third sister refused to agree, because she was steady, and she knew that she couldn't be the master, so she refused to promise easily. ”

Qin Jinhua looked disappointed: "Ah, why didn't I expect it? Indeed......" Her little face drooped, and her mood became depressed again.

Qin Hanzhen had to turn around to comfort her, and at the same time glanced at Qin Jian speechlessly, thinking to himself Since you understand this truth, you would have said it earlier?

Qin Jian just smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Qin Song, Qin Bai and others finally came back from the ancestral hall. Qin Bai's eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried. Qin Zhonghai, Qin Shutao's brothers, and Qin Ping also had a bit of a look of amazement on their faces. Only Qin Song looked like he was fine, and asked his wife Xu with a big grin: "Can you pass the meal?" I had dinner earlier, so that the third brother's family could rest." ”

Xu was still smiling, and ordered his daughter-in-law Yao to ask someone to pass the meal. Qin Hanzhen was finally able to get rid of his little cousin and followed everyone to the restaurant.

It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually the main hall and the east room. Thanks to the ability of the subordinates of the Chengenhou Mansion, Qin Hanzhen clearly remembered that two quarters of an hour ago, there were still two halls here, and they were actually converted into a temporary dining room in a short period of time, with two tables of eight immortals placed inside and outside, and men were sitting outside, and there were women and children at one table inside.

Outside, the brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai occupied a single table and sat opposite each other. Qin Ping's cousins are three at a table. In it, the Xu family and the Niu family sat opposite each other, and the two daughters-in-law were accompanying guests. It's a little more troublesome for the children's table, and they have to be sorted into orders. Fortunately, Qin Hanzhen had done her homework beforehand, her eyes were firmly fixed on the movements of others, and she sat under Qin Jinhua without attracting anyone's attention, there was Qin Jinrong below her, and Qin Jian and Qin Shun on the opposite side. As for Brother Zi'er and Qin Duan, because they were too young, they were all taken down.

The girl's daughter-in-law carried the food box and fished in, took out the dishes in the food box with neat and silent movements, and placed them on the table. Whoever delivers the food, who opens the box, who picks up the food, all have their own duties. When the task was completed, he quietly retreated, giving up his place to the latecomer.

Qin Hanzhen looked coldly at the demeanor of the subordinates of the Hou Mansion of Cheng'en, and he also had a new understanding of the management ability of the Hou Mansion in his heart. Thinking back to the servants who were sent to Mizhi to pick up their third room, she realized that those people were only second- and third-rate characters after all, and they did not represent the true level of the servants of the Chengenhou Mansion.

On the other hand, the rules of the Chengenhou Mansion are estimated to be quite heavy. She also had to be careful not to make any mistakes.

If it is a real family reunion, it is estimated that there will still be talk and laughter at the dinner table. But the relationship between the Qin family's long room and the third room is more complicated, just after chatting for half a day, everyone is mentally tired, at this time, with the rule of "food without words", finally got a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, and no longer reluctantly make a cordial appearance. Except for Yao and Min, as daughters-in-law and nephews, they symbolically prepared three dishes for Xu and Niu, and then sat down, and the rest of them just ate quietly.

At this time, outside the hall, except for the faint sound of tableware colliding, there was almost no sound at all. Qin Hanzhen also carefully fiddled with the tableware and controlled the sound of his chewing, so he blended into this atmosphere. On the other hand, Niu's side may be accustomed to chatting during meals, and occasionally say a few words to Xu's or Yao's, asking what a certain dish is, what the soup is, and asking if there is a certain ingredient in the capital that he likes to eat. These are just gossip, Rao is Yao's eight-sided exquisite, and he only answers when he asks, and he doesn't say much. Niu said a few words, and seeing that she and the others were not very enthusiastic, he secretly pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The meal was hard to eat. Qin Hanzhen was only half full, and he was about to be suffocated to his stomach, thinking that even if he was comfortable eating, he couldn't mix with the people in the long house all day long, so he had to live a small life behind closed doors.

After eating, the girls and daughters-in-law appeared again, removed the cups and plates in an orderly manner, and then a girl served fragrant tea.

Qin Hanzhen remembered the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", and paid a little more attention, and caught a glimpse of the girl who served tea, followed by the person holding the bowl, the basin, the handkerchief, and the tea, and knew that this was a routine. She calmly took the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, rinsed her mouth, spit it into the bowl in front of her, and then washed her hands, wiped her hands, and received tea without mentioning. When she put the tea bowl she really wanted to drink on the table, Qin Jinhua and Qin Jian had just completed this action. The brother and sister looked up at her, and they both smiled slightly, and there was a little more recognition and cordiality in their eyes.

Qin Hanzhen was no longer able to vomit.

After lunch, it's time to take a break. Qin Song once again used his suffocating acting skills to show his reluctance to cling to his brother, so he simply took the first step neatly, leaving his two sons as companions to greet Qin Bai and Qin Ping's father and son. Qin Zhonghai's expression was calm, but Qin Shutao's face was full of embarrassment.

At this time, Yao stepped forward again and personally acted as a guide, leading the way for everyone in the third room to rest in Qingfeng Pavilion. Xu took Niu's hand and said some kind words, then led the juniors and personally sent the Sanfang family out of the Yimen.

Qin Jinhua and the others did not come out with them, but Qin Jian always followed his parents and was their good helper. Even if he is still young, he can still talk to his cousin Qin Hanzhen, and he will tease Brother Zi'er a few words from time to time. However, Brother Zi'er was full just now, and this time Zizi was angry, and he was looking sleepy, so he didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Qingfeng Pavilion is indeed as Yao said, it is just west of Yimen, and it is only a few dozen steps to walk over. First, I walked into a sandwich passage, and there were high walls on the left and right, but there was a double gate on the right wall, which was the entrance to the Seifukan.

Qin Jian introduced Qin Hanzhen: "At the other end of the south wall is the outer study, and then there is where the servants live. He pointed forward again, "Third sister, look, at the end of this road is the West Gate, and outside is Qingyun Lane." Walking Qingyun Lane can be walked out of the house from the southwest corner gate. If the third sister's family doesn't want to alarm the people in the house, it is very convenient to go in and out by themselves. However, if you want to use a car, it is cheaper to go from the front. ”

Qin Hanzhen glanced at the West Gate, nodded his head to show his understanding, turned around and walked into the gate of the Qingfeng Pavilion, and was greeted by a dazzling purple red, but it was a purple magnolia tree more than ten meters high, full of flowers, gorgeous and dazzling.

Qin Bai looked up at this familiar and unfamiliar purple magnolia, and did not speak for a long time. (To be continued.) )
