When Qin Han was really discussing matters with his grandmother Niu in his mother's Yongjiahou Mansion, he heard the news that the Xu family of Chengenhou Mansion was going to worship his deceased brother.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but wonder a little: "Master Xu has been dead for several days, and my uncle and grandmother didn't make trouble a few days ago, why did she suddenly make a fuss? She is so sick that she can't even go out of the house, what do you say to go to mourn? Isn't this nothing?"

Niu Shi snorted: "Isn't it? Could it be that she wants someone else to carry her? It's not difficult to carry her, but if there is a wind on the road, or bumps into something, her condition is a bad one, doesn't it make her own children worry about it? What is it to make trouble in a good way? The family is happy now, for her alone, if she doesn't hold a banquet for Brother Jian to celebrate, why do you have to block the big guys?

As soon as Mama Tiger inquired about the news, she replied, "No one knows what's going on." It turned out that it had been good, and he never mentioned that he was going to Xu's house to mourn, but he mentioned to the magpie that on the day of Master Xu's funeral, let the second master in the East Mansion personally take Brother Jian to the road to sacrifice, and after the burial, he would set up a large water and land dojo, and he would do enough decentness for Master Xu. The second master agreed, and even the big and small Taoist priests who were to be used in the water and land dojo said hello, and even ordered a large number of high-quality paper incense candles in the paper shop, where did they expect that the eldest lady would suddenly change the hexagram? Only Hong Yan vaguely guessed a little, as if the aunt and grandmother of the Lu family gave birth to a child that day, and the Yunyang Hou Mansion sent a happy letter over, and after the eldest aunt and wife heard about it, she didn't talk with her wife for too long, so she went to see her daughter's grandson. The eldest lady's face was not very good-looking at that time, and she thought that the Lu family was too festive and lively, and secretly wiped her tears at night, saying that the Xu family was pitiful, and the eldest prince Xu was pitiful, and I didn't know who could still miss him now. ”

Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened in disbelief: "So the eldest uncle and grandmother are planning to go to the condolences in person, so as to save face for the Xu family's room, and then comfort Xu Zheng?" To be honest, the second uncle and Gui Shilang have gone to mourn, and there are many princes and nobles who send people to incense, although the eldest uncle and grandmother have the name of Mrs. Chengenhou, but it is not to the point of the town. She may not be able to add much luster to the Xu family's room when she goes, and it is true that the second uncle and the lobby brother have a headache. Don't let her go, as if you were disobeying her. But let her go, there is something wrong with her physical condition, and as a child or grandchild, she is also suspected of poor service. The eldest uncle and grandmother would rather ask their relatives to take such a risk, just to save face for the Xu family's room and Xu Zheng?

When Niu Shi heard this, he also felt very uncomfortable: "What should she do? Now that she is sick and confused, the children and grandchildren can no longer indulge her nonsense! Let her stay in the house and recuperate with peace of mind." Master Xu will be funeral in a few days, and the matter will be over as soon as the person is buried. Now that the weather is getting warmer day by day, he shouldn't have stayed at home for too long, shouldn't the people in the Xu family's room smell bad?!"

Mama Hu said: "The second master and Brother Jian are naturally not willing to let the eldest lady go. But the eldest lady refuses to take medicine now, and they can't just leave her alone, so they are in a dilemma now. ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but sneer: "She just relies on her filial piety to her children and grandchildren." ”

Niu frowned and said, "This is too unusual. Is that mother-in-law trying to smear her own son's son and grandson's face? Brother Jian has just been admitted to the Jinshi, and he has not yet become an official. How can a grandmother be ruthless enough to treat her grandson like this? No wonder Zhonghai's daughter-in-law hates her like an enemy. If I meet such a mother-in-law, I will hate it too!"

Qin Hanzhen said: "It's better to ask someone to pass Xu Zheng over and let him tell his uncle and grandmother to go! If he has that cheekiness and says that he welcomes his uncle and grandmother to come to the door to offer condolences, Ming'er and I will let people spread his bad reputation inside and outside the capital! What was the situation when his own grandfather died, do outsiders really not know? Even if he had a reputation as a talented man in the past, there is nothing to say about the results of more than 160 in this test. Since the eldest uncle and grandmother and the Xu family all regard him as a treasure, then I simply exposed his fake skin, and it also saves these people from having unrealistic illusions about him one by one, and disgusting others all day long!"

Niu Shi waved his hand and said: "No, Xu Zheng now has a heavy filial piety, what did he do when he came to the door? ”

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "Uncle and grandmother didn't call Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu to come to the door before, she was not unlucky at that time, she was seriously ill this time, and I guess she didn't necessarily care." As for Brother Lobby, just let him avoid it that day. When the Xu family is gone, ask someone to clean the road they have walked with water, and then ask the monk to recite the sutra three times, where is there any bad luck?!"

When Niu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Nonsense!"

Of course, Qin Hanzhen knew that her thoughts were a bit child's play, but how could the Xu family not be child's play? Who really reasoned with the child's play people? She simply sent Feng'er and passed on her advice to Qin Jian and Yu Xinlan, the young couple. When Feng'er came back, she said: "The eldest young grandmother of Dongfu snickered for a while, and the eldest young master said that the princess had bothered, and he knew it in his heart, so that the princess didn't have to worry." ”

Qin Hanzhen tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Needless to say, he will definitely not take my suggestion." Forget it, anyway, the second uncle is now a family member, and if he wants to stop the eldest uncle and grandmother, there will always be a way. I don't have to worry about it for him. ”

It didn't take long for her and the Niu family to hear the news that the Yao family and Yu Xinlan had sent someone to Gui Shilang's house to invite Xu Xiu over. Although Xu Xiu also has filial piety, she is a married person, relatively speaking, there is no such "bad luck" as Xu Xiu, she only needs to move into a quiet room alone, wear Jing Hai, coarse tea and light rice, and keep filial piety for her grandfather. The Gui family is not a lost family, and there are many fewer taboos.

Qin Hanzhen reluctantly accepted the emergency measures from the Dongfu side, but he was not very optimistic: "Xu Xiu is just the married daughter of the Xu family's house, not Xu Zheng, and the weight of her words may not be enough." However, it was still okay for her to help pass the word, so it was a big deal to ask her to tell Xu Zheng and order Xu Zheng to write a handwritten letter and stop the uncle and grandmother. ”

Niu waved his hand: "It's good that Dongfu has a way to deal with it." You don't care about that, let's take a look at this list, is it complete? What's missing?"

Qin Hanzhen took the list in her hand and looked at it carefully. This is a gift to the old family of Jiang Ning. The palace exam has ended, although Qin Kewen failed to turn over in the palace exam, he is still at the bottom of the list, being a fellow jinshi, but it is also the title of the gold list. He is young and strong, of course, it is impossible to give up being an official and return to his hometown to continue to preside over the clan study, so he will stay in the capital and wait for the vacancy. And his younger brother Qin Kelun, who has just had a step-son, has also rented a small house near Yongjiahou Mansion, and has decided to stay in the capital to study and prepare for exams, so naturally he will not go back to Jiangning. Only the old man who fell off the list in the fifth room was ready to leave for his hometown, take Qin Kewen and Qin Kelun's family letters, and take over the family studies by the way. He was on the ship of the fleet under the name of the Suning County Palace, so he could bring more things, so Niu asked him to bring a batch of gifts back.

Qin Hanzhen re-read the list a few times, discussed it with the Niu family, replaced a few of the things that were not easy to preserve, added two more Beijing specialties, and finalized the final list. Niu handed over the list to Mama Hu and asked her to send it to Xiao Feng's side, and let the little daughter-in-law be responsible for the purchase, but he began to worry about Cai Shengnan: "Your mother's belly is big, and it is almost time to give birth, so I can't settle down in my heart." Although the stable woman and the nurse have found someone in advance, should we ask another doctor to live at home and prepare for the emergency, it is safer?"

Qin Hanzhen said that it is of course best to have a doctor who is good at gynecology stationed, and Wen Po should also choose those with a good reputation and excellent skills, as well as those experienced mothers, and also prepare a few more, what is conducive to maternal production and postpartum recuperation, medicinal materials, medicines, are more prepared, prepared. In case there is any accident during Cai Shengnan's production process, these things will come in handy!

Although Qin Hanzhen has never given birth to children, she is now a married woman, of course, she no longer has to be like a young girl, there are taboos everywhere in what she says and does. Niu thought deeply of her opinions, and asked Mama Wei and Mama Lu to find someone to find medicine.

The Niu family was busy, and Qin Han really saw that there was nothing to do, so he went to his father and stepmother's yard to visit Cai Shengnan.

Although Cai Shengnan has a big belly, he is in good spirits, moves freely, has a ruddy complexion, and can eat and drink, so people are not worried about her physical condition. As soon as Qin Hanzhen looked at her, she knew that most of the grandmother cows were just nervous.

Cai Shengnan also smiled: "Mother-in-law, she is an old man, she just loves to worry." Your aunt also said that when she gave birth to Brother Zhuang'er, her mother-in-law was also worried and couldn't sit still. Now that it's my turn to have a baby, she naturally does the same. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at her big belly: "Look at it, it's really big!, it can't be twins, right?"

Cai Shengnan smiled and shook his head: "It's not twins, it's probably because my family is worried about my weak body, so they often make supplements for me, but as a result, I eat a lot, and the child is raised so big." But I move around a lot, and I'm in good shape, and I'm older, so I guess it's okay. My mother-in-law said that she was like this when she was pregnant with my brothers, telling me not to be afraid. I wasn't really scared. When my mother gave birth to her younger brother, I experienced it myself. I know what is going on. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "It's good to prepare more, and be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship." She hesitated, "When is the due date? When it's almost a day, let my father take a few days off and spend more time with you." Business can't be done, the busiest time has passed, and he should spend more time with his wife. Isn't it a good thing to be able to see the child born with your own eyes?" It is said that when she was born, Qin Ping was still on the side of Yulin and did not see it in person, which is somewhat a pity.

Cai Shengnan looked a little moved, but he still didn't agree: "How does this make the prince's business important." The day of my birth is uncertain, don't delay the business for me. ”

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "I'll talk about this." Whether you want to take leave or not, your father has his own decision, so you don't care. ”

Cai Shengnan smiled and didn't say anything more, but there was still a bit of expectation in his eyes.
