If Qin Hanzhen lists the benefits of living in Qinzhuang, being able to go out more freely is probably the most pleasing point. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qinzhuang occupies a large area, and it is basically inhabited by clansmen, and there is no family with foreign surnames here, so when the girls in the clan walk in the streets and alleys of the village, there are many fewer taboos. As long as he doesn't leave Zhuangzi, Qin Hanzhen can only take Qingxing out alone to visit other uncles' houses, or he can go to the pavilion on the edge of the pond near the ancestral hall to watch the uncles he doesn't know play chess and talk and laugh.

It was the favorite place for the younger children of the Qin clan to play.

Although this is still different from actually going out and playing, it is much better than being trapped in a house. If it weren't for Niu's repeated insistence, she must bring at least one girl with her, and she might not even bring Qingxing. However, it's not bad for Qingxing to go out with her, no matter what she commands, Qingxing will do it. Sometimes, multiple girls can also participate in the game and be a helper for her.

Qingxing also had a lot of fun. She also had such a carefree childhood when she was a child, but since she was exiled with her father and mother-in-law, and was sold to the fireworks field, she has suffered a lot, and now she can be regarded as having a happy life, and she can relive the happy times of the past. Just because Qin Hanzhen brought her today's life, her gratitude and loyalty to this little master will not change for the rest of her life.

Today, Qin Hanzhen also followed several cousins of the same age to the opera garden, but he didn't play hide and seek anymore. After two days of playing, I am already a little tired, and there are not many people here today, so what can four or five little girls play? In addition to Qingxing, the sisters in the other room also had a maiden-in-law, who took the brazier and a small pestle very eye-catchingly, and found two old screens from somewhere, and set out a small space for them, so that they could warm up and laugh around the brazier.

One of the sisters pointed to one of the old screens and said with a smile: "I remember this, it seems that it was sent by the third room and six aunts, and it was ready to be used when inviting the opera troupe to sing in the next year, right? I have seen this screen in their house, it is more than ten years old, and it was broken at the beginning of the year, and it was repaired later." The bad thing is the bottom corner, and you can still see the traces. ”

Qin Hanzhen and the others took a closer look, and sure enough, they could see the traces of repair. Qin Hanzhen didn't understand: "Why did the sixth aunt send this broken screen over?"

Another sister pursed her lips and smiled: "Every year when the clan holds a shrine, or invites the opera troupe to sing during the Chinese New Year, each family and each room must produce something, otherwise where can it support the scene? It's just that the rules have changed in the past few years, and everyone only uses some old things to make up the numbers. Or take something that looks luxurious on the surface, but is actually not very valuable. Anyway, it's just a matter of putting it for a few days, just use it, and it's not too valuable. ”

Qin Hanzhen didn't understand: "Why, is there any reason here?"

Several sisters glanced at each other, all pursed their lips and snickered, one of the youngest, probably more naïve, and had no scruples, and said the answer very bluntly: "Because I am afraid that if I send something good, I will bump it or lose it, and it will be too much of a loss." ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "It can be said that it is inevitable to bump into it, but why do you lose it? Such a large thing, can you still lose it?" As long as the management is done well, it is difficult for this kind of thing to happen, the screen is furniture, and it is not a small cup or bowl or something, it can be stolen as soon as you take it.

The sister who spoke first pouted: "Anything bigger than this can be lost inexplicably, Zongfang said that there are so many people that I don't remember where to put it, so I mixed things up." Our family lost a pair of sandalwood circle chairs, because they couldn't find it, and finally returned a pair of pine back, my mother was distressed for a long time. This has never happened before, so how could the people of the clan have thought of it? There is nowhere to find it, so they can only consider themselves unlucky. ”

Qin Hanzhen heard that something was wrong, and asked tentatively: "Who was so careless and lost something? It sounds like it's not a matter of a year or two? Isn't the person in charge of things to be held accountable?"

Several sisters pursed their lips and smiled without saying a word, exchanging glances with each other, obviously knowing it, but they just didn't tell Qin Hanzhen.

Qin Han really thought, in the online novels that I read before, the ladies and daughters in those mansions can play tricks at a young age, and the ancients really can't underestimate it. These girls of the Qin family can't be regarded as the daughters of the mansion, and they also have seven exquisite hearts. How could they have lifted the screen or the chair in front of her for no reason? They must have wanted to complain to her, but they didn't want her to see their true intentions, so they pretended to mention it casually, just to make her suspicious, so that she could tell her grandmother.

It's just that she is not an innocent and simple little girl, and she can't see this little trick. If they really just mentioned it unintentionally, they didn't need to laugh and say nothing, as if they didn't want to tell her. I really don't want to say, what did you mention this just now?

I just don't know what the intentions of the people behind them are.

Qin Hanzhen decided to cooperate with them, so as not to make the little girls unable to get off the stage, anyway, she was really curious. So she pretended to complain: "Okay, you all know what is going on, but you have to hang my appetite, it's so hateful!"

Several of the little girls laughed. They played with Qin Hanzhen for a few days, and they knew that she was a character with no shelves, although she was named the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but in fact, everyone used to live in a similar environment, and there was not much estrangement.

One of them said to Qin Hanzhen: "Sister Hanzhen, don't worry, it's not that we won't tell you, but ...... I'm afraid that if you say it, you tell your family, and it will make the third uncle and grandmother angry. Forget it, you will live in the clan for a few months, and you will go back in the spring next year. You have always cared about the affairs of your clan, so why should you meddle at this time?"

Qin Han really thought that this appetite was getting stronger and stronger, right? ”

The girls were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other, this was not what they intended! Another cousin said to the previous sister: "Seventh sister, why are you telling Sister Hanzhen this? She wants to know, you tell her that is, why cover it up for others? That person has the face to do such a thing, are you afraid of others saying it?" After speaking, she said to Qin Hanzhen, "Sister Hanzhen, let me tell you the truth, most of the people in the clan know in their hearts that this kind of theft began in the third year when the second aunt of the clan took over the clan affairs. That year, her mother's family moved to Jiangning, and heard that hundreds of acres of land had been planted in less than a year. The tribesmen had no evidence, and they didn't have much to say. If the third uncle ancestor can really be the master of the clan, the He clan will be grateful for his kindness!"

Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows: "Sister means ......"

The cousin pursed her lips and smiled: "I can only say so much, sister, don't worry, it's an elder after all." ”

A group of little girls squeaked and chatted about the good performance sung by the troupe invited at the end of last year, saying how lively and wonderful the monkey show was...... It's as if there was never any mention of theft.

Qin Hanzhen blinked, only feeling that this scene was really getting more and more interesting. If the theft was really that serious, why didn't anyone sue it in previous years? This is not a matter of two pieces of furniture, or it has been like this year after year. How much backing can Xiao Huang's family have? A generation of clan women, can they not dare to speak?

Moreover, the clansmen didn't sue before, but now they dare to sue, isn't there any reason?

Qin Hanzhen returned to the six-room ancestral house with questions, and immediately told Grandmother Niu about these things.

The Niu clan couldn't believe it: "No, right? Which clan woman would be a thief and steal the things of the clansmen? This is not a small piece, it is a large piece of furniture! Is the Xiao Huang clan so short of money? You say that she fills her own pockets and secretly carries the money and wealth in her own arms, I still believe it, but what is she doing with these big things? Can she still sell them? The Qin family is not a small family in Jiangning, so she is not afraid of being discovered? I dare not believe it, where is there such a stupid person in this world?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "Whether she is really so stupid, I don't know." But the sisters would not have mentioned such things to me for no apparent reason. I think they just want to sue Xiao Huang's family, which shows that Xiao Huang's popularity in the clan is not very good. Now as soon as there is a rumor that something happened to her, someone will immediately come and fall into the well. ”

Niu sneered: "Her kind of person, even if she can pretend to be a good person for a while, she can't pretend to be a good person for a lifetime." People in the world are not all ignorant and can't see her true face, she thinks she can really deceive everyone. She called Mama Hu, "What has the second nephew and daughter-in-law of Zongfang been doing these days? After being scolded by me, is she really honest? I heard that she went back to her parents' house later?"

Mama Tiger said: "I went back to my mother's house, and I came back on the same day, and there was no movement for a few days, so I looked very honest." "But today it seems that some relative sent two mothers-in-law to greet her and send some gifts." The carriage in which the two mothers-in-law sat was quite magnificent, and they looked like they were rich people. ”

Niu Shi hurriedly asked, "Do you know which relative's house?"

Mama Tiger shook her head: "I don't know about this." I still heard what the mother-in-law in the gatehouse of the sect said, and they didn't know, they should be relatives of the Huang family, right? I heard that I didn't go to see Mrs. Zongfang and the eldest grandmother, but only talked to the second grandmother for half an hour, and left. Because of the non-compliance, Mrs. Zongfang was still angry. She paused, "The people on the other side of the sect said that those two mothers-in-law were richly dressed, and the wives and grandmothers at the head of the house were well dressed than us, and they were by no means ordinary servants when they spoke and acted. ”

Qin Hanzhen tilted his head: "Whose family will it be?" If it is a relative of the Zongfang, there is no reason not to go to the uncle, grandmother and aunt of the Zongfang. It won't be from the Huang family, the Huang family doesn't have that family background, and Lord Huang didn't bring the waiting mother-in-law to Jinling. But besides the Huang family, who else will come to see Xiao Huang?" After a pause, "I heard that Xiao Huang's sister-in-law is from the Xue family? Could it be that she is from the Xue family?"

The Niu family was a little annoyed by the Xue family: "It's really ghostly! Why is it surnamed Xue again?!"

"Maybe not, I'm just guessing. Qin Hanzhen got up and said, "Grandmother, let me tell my grandfather about what my sisters told me, as well as about the two mothers-in-law? ”

Niu nodded: "Then you go, your grandfather is in the study in the outer courtyard." It seems that Lord Huang sent someone to deliver a letter. When he read the letter, he seemed to be troubled. ”
