At the same time, in the next room, Qin Bai was also standing by the window, staring at Huang Jincheng by the dock. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He really didn't expect that the military attache who the emperor told him that he would wait to meet him in Tianjin turned out to be the son of the Huang family!

The emperor did not tell him the name and identity of the military attaché, only that he could trust someone, and that he would take dozens of his own soldiers on a boat and go south with him under the pretext that he was going to Jinlingwei. On the way, the military attache will shoulder the responsibility of protecting his party. After arriving in Jinling City, the other party will also assume the responsibility of secretly guarding the prince.

Qin Bai didn't think much about it at the time, the emperor sold a pass, and he thought that the emperor was just joking with him. The person sent by Hengzhi must be the confidant of the emperor and the crown prince, and it doesn't matter who he is. Who would have thought that it would be someone from the Huang family who came?

If you think about it, the emperor's move is reasonable. It is true that the Huang family and Qin Song are not close, but the Huang family is also the maiden family of the biological mother of Qin Song and Empress Qin. The so-called mother-in-law and uncle, no matter how good the Huang family is, it will not unite with outsiders, which is not good for the prince with the blood of the Huang family. Not to mention that the Huang family itself is upright, and they are pure ministers loyal to the court and the emperor. Moreover, the relationship between the prince and the Huang family has always been harmonious, and the relationship with the Qin family is only very different. For the crown prince, his grandmother's nephew, Huang Jincheng, is naturally more trustworthy than other military attachés.

Qin Bai asked himself, he felt that his little uncle, since the birth of the prince, had not met him, and he had no feelings at all, in the prince's mind, I was afraid that he might not be as close as Huang Jincheng's cousin.

Anyway, the people sent by the emperor will never make a mistake. Qin Bai felt that his mission to the south was just to protect the prince and let him return to Beijing safely. Who do you work with, and what is the difference? Besides, he and the Huang family are only a little embarrassed, but they have no grudges. He has always respected the Huang family's family style. The overall situation is important, and he will get along well with Huang Jincheng.

Qin Bai glanced at the situation on the dock again, sighed secretly, and turned around.

Although Huang Jincheng traveled with Qin Bai and his party, he had his own ship and manpower, so he acted on his own and did not need to discuss with Qin Bai and others. He only sent someone to inform him, and when he set out the next morning, he didn't mention anything else. Qin Bai and the others were in the inn, but from time to time they could see local civil and military officials in Tianjin coming to see him off, and some people invited him to a nearby tavern to eat and drink. Huang Jincheng was smiling and socializing, as if he was really celebrating his promotion proudly.

The guys in the inn were well-informed, and it didn't take long for gossip to reach Qin Hanzhen's ears, saying that it was this Lord Huang, who was originally in Tianjin Wei was only the calming of the Zhenfu Division, and the official was from the fifth grade, I don't know what luck he went. Although Rendi is in Jinling, which is farther away from Beijing, the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be more attractive. Some people also talk about the background of this Huang Yanshi, it is said that he is from a big family, and he is related to the royal family, and it seems that he can be promoted exceptionally, which is not incomprehensible.

All kinds of rumors and gossip disturbed, and Qin Hanzhen didn't know which of them were true and which were false. She communicated with Zhao Mo and Qin Jian in private, thinking that one of them was a native of the elite circle in the capital, and the other was the grandson of the emperor, so she must know the twists and turns of officialdom better than her, a native bun. Unexpectedly, Qin Jian didn't know anything, Zhao Mo only guessed that Huang Jincheng might have made some great contributions, but it was not easy to publicize it, so he was able to be promoted exceptionally.

Qin Jian thought about it, anyway, he and Huang Jincheng were familiar with each other, so he could go and ask each other in person. So he actually went, but didn't ask anything. Huang Jincheng put his cousin's shelf, asked him about his homework when he met, chatted with him about family life, and sent away his promotion in just one sentence: "The adult's business, you can't understand the child's family." ”

When Qin Jian left the dock dejectedly, the soldiers who escorted him back to the inn on Huang Jincheng's orders "inadvertently" solved some doubts in his heart: "The people outside are talking nonsense, don't listen to them." With the credit of our adults, he should have been promoted a long time ago, but the adults are young, and the bosses always feel that he is not stable enough, and they don't let us adults come out. The emperor knew about it and reprimanded those ridiculous people, so that he gave us justice back. It's ridiculous that others still think that we adults rely on our family backgrounds! My lord almost lost his life, and all the credit was exchanged for his life!"

The pro-soldier said vaguely and did not reveal the slightest detail, but the general meaning was already clear. After Qin Jian returned to the inn, he said to Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo: "It seems that Guanglu guessed correctly, Uncle Jin Cheng has indeed made a great contribution, and he has been promoted to three levels in a row, which is the emperor's reward for him." It's just that most of his contributions are not easy to say to outsiders, and his personal soldiers are also unclear in private, for fear that there are taboos. We don't have to inquire more. ”

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo should be together.

This matter is even stopped. In the evening, they went to have dinner with Qin Bai and Niu's. Niu inadvertently mentioned: "That Lord Huang, since he is going to Jinling to take up his post, why don't you see him take his family? ”

Qin Bai said: "He has his own plans, why should we meddle with things?"

Niu Shi scolded him and said, "Who is nosy? I just asked casually." ”

Qin Jian said: "Uncle Jin Cheng is twenty-five years old this year, has married a wife, has a son and a daughter, and his wife and children are now in Beijing. His mother's health is not very good, and Aunt Jin Cheng must have to stay with her mother-in-law to take care of her. Moreover, his children are still young, and it is a little inconvenient to bring them to office. ”

Niu asked with interest, "Who else is in his family?"

Qin Jian looked at Qin Bai carefully, and when he saw Qin Bai nodding, he replied: "Uncle Jin Cheng's branch, the heirs are a little thin. His father was an only son and had no brothers, but he was the eldest son, and he had two younger sisters and a brother. His eldest sister married into the Min family, the third aunt's maiden family, and the second sister seems to have already been married, probably next year, right? His younger brother is not a few years older than me, and he is studying and preparing to take the road of entering the imperial examination. In order to study, he seems to be studying in a foreign academy, and I haven't seen him much in two years. ”

Niu Shi was surprised: "It's only a few years older than you, and it's been two years since you were at home?" Why don't you ask my husband to teach at home?"

Qin Bai said with a smile: "This is like when we were in Mizhi in the past, I accepted students. Wang Fulin is close to home, but didn't Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun leave home to study? For the sake of their children's future, the family can only be ruthless. ”

Niu thought about it, so he laughed it off.

Qin Hanzhen didn't know if his grandmother Niu knew about the relationship between his great-grandmother, grandfather and the Huang family, but Niu was quite interested in this Huang master and heard a lot of news from Qin Jian. When she got up early the next morning, she also asked the guys at the inn to bring breakfast to the boat according to Huang Jincheng's preferences that Qin Jian said.

Huang Jincheng accepted this breakfast and came to thank him in person. Qin Bai politely entertained him, invited him to tea, and chatted a few words before he left.

Although it was just a normal exchange of courtesies, Niu seemed to have inadvertently broken the deadlock between Qin Bai and Huang Jincheng. The two of them, who were still very unfamiliar, slowly became familiar.

The Qin family's fleet and Huang Jincheng's fleet sailed away from the Tianjin wharf together and continued to walk on the waterway south.

Huang Jincheng's boat went first, he played his official flag, and when the ships on the canal saw that they were official ships, they all let him score three points, and let him go first if he had nothing to do. Qin Bai originally wanted to keep a low profile and didn't publicize his identity as Yongjiahou very much. Now that the Qin family's ship is following Huang Jincheng, it has been stained with a lot of light and saved a lot of trouble.

With Huang Jincheng's identity to open the way, their boat speed has increased a lot. When encountering a dock checkpoint on the way, the local officials did not dare to provoke easily, so they were very happy to let them go. If there is an official who likes to tie up people by chance and proposes to "catch the wind" for Huang Jincheng, he only needs to say that he is on official business, and he can leave smoothly, and no one dares to stop him. As for the Qin family's fleet following him, everyone thought that it was Huang Jincheng's companion, and no one cared.

Thanks to the blessing of Lord Huang, Qin Bai and his entourage soon arrived in Cangzhou, and then headed for Dezhou, and were about to enter the boundary of Shandong, and the journey was smooth.

It is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in the large fields on both sides of the canal, the wheat has reached the harvest season, and from a distance, it is a large area of golden yellow. This was a somewhat unfamiliar scene for Qin Jian and Zhao Mo, and the two of them couldn't help but run to the deck to enjoy the scenery. Qin Hanzhen laughed at them in the cabin: "Isn't this kind of thing unusual? Why do you two seem to have never seen each other?"

Zhao Mo smiled and turned around and said, "It's true that I see less." Although I have seen the scene of the autumn harvest in Liaodong, it is not quite the same as this. When I went to Datong last year, the autumn harvest had already passed. This year, I went to the capital with you from Datong, and it was spring sowing. It's the first time I've seen golden wheat like this. ”

Qin Jian said: "I have been to the suburbs of Zhuangzi to play, and I have also seen the appearance of Zhuangtian during the autumn harvest, but it is different from the current scenery. The scene looks so beautiful now!" he sighed twice, and then said, "I wonder if our Zhuangzi is nearby? If such a large field of wheat is planted in the Zhuangzi, I will definitely make a special trip to see it when the autumn harvest comes." ”

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "What's so difficult about this? As long as the terrain is flat and the area is large enough, you can realize your wish anywhere." Wheat should be planted on the land suitable for growing wheat, otherwise rice and corn will be planted. If you want to see a beautiful scenery that looks the same color at a glance, you can also plant some flowers and grass. Planting lavender is a piece of purple, planting chrysanthemum is a piece of yellow, planting vegetables is a piece of green, whatever you like, as long as you don't lose money. Of course, if you love to lose money, it's up to you. ”

Qin Jian laughed when he heard this: "Sounds good, I don't know what the purple one my sister said, but it's good to plant chrysanthemums, and it matches the autumn scenery." It's a pity that I don't have Zhuangzi in my hand, but my mother never allows me to mess around, and it is impossible to give me the Zhuangzi at home. Therefore, the idea of the third sister, I can only listen to it. ”

He turned his head to look at Zhao Mo: "It's Guanglu you, if you really have a heart, let's take advantage of some money in hand and put a grange? Jiangnan is too far away from the capital, and the land price is also expensive. You don't really want to stay in Jiangnan for a few years, do you? Shandong is very good, and Tianjin is not bad. Buying a property not too far from the capital makes it easier for you to take care of it, and it is easier for you to return to Beijing. ”

Zhao Mo's heart moved when he heard this.
