Qin Han's true ancestors and grandchildren were tired of traveling and driving, so the Niu family just chattered and complained for a while, and then pulled them into the house to rest.

Everyone sat down to drink hot tea, warm up their bodies, and talk about their experiences after saying goodbye, the dangers encountered on the road, and the fun of traveling to Shandong. After a while, the people below brought food, and the family ate hastily, so Niu left her husband and sent her granddaughter back to her yard to freshen up. After a while, we have to eat dinner together.

Qin Hanzhen took a few girls and went back to his yard.

Her yard is in the fourth part of the East Road, and the courtyard where her father lives is separated by a walkway, next to the garden, is a square courtyard, leaving a leaky window on the south wall, borrowing the scenery in the garden, taking advantage of the mountains and rocks and flowers in the courtyard, it is also quite elegant.

Qin Hanzhen has also lived in this courtyard for a few years, and he has personally rearranged it inside and out, so he naturally lives comfortably. When I entered the house, girls of all sizes came to greet her. She waved everyone back, leaving only a few who were waiting for her, and took a shower first.

The sewers, bathrooms, etc. in this courtyard were all drawn by Qin Hanzhen himself and rebuilt by craftsmen. Because she is a liberal arts student, she can't remember how the toilet is made, and she has been comparing with the craftsmen for a long time, but they don't understand, and she hasn't been able to come up with the finished product. So she had to settle for the next best thing, no longer making a flush toilet, only making local tap water, setting up a water tank at a high place, using gravity to make shower facilities, and of course, a wide bath tub is also available. With sewers, running water, and no flush toilets, it's just a bit of a stretch of effort to flush the toilet. Even in modern society, before the flush toilet was not popularized, the people of the whole country did not use the same squatting pit?

Qin Hanzhen comforted himself, as long as the sanitary conditions are improved and life is convenient, it is a great progress, and the toilet or something is not an indispensable necessity.

Qin Hanzhen took a hot shower in the shower and soaked in the tub for another quarter of an hour. Feng'er added some soothing herbs to the water, she smelled fragrant and comfortable, her whole body was warm, she got up, wiped off the water with a large cloth towel, and changed into home-style clothes, all of which were soft and comfortable fabrics, and she still stepped on suede home indoor slippers on her feet, and her sleeves were handed, and she returned to the bedroom slowly.

It's only the beginning of October, and although it's cold, it's not yet very cold. Qin Hanzhen's house is built with a fire wall, but she thinks that the fire wall burns early, and it is easy to catch fire, there is no way to do it in the middle of winter, and it is enough to burn a stove for the time being. The two-foot-high copper floor-to-ceiling stove, covered with a latte cover, is placed two meters away from the kang, and thick curtains are placed on both sides of the room, and the whole warm pavilion is warm and not too irritable.

Qin Hanzhen stretched out his hand to warm up in front of the stove, and when he saw Feng'er bringing a plate of chestnuts and wanted to put the chestnuts on the edge of the stove, he smiled and said, "Are you greedy? Where did the chestnuts come from?"

Feng'er smiled: "It was sent by the second girl from the long room next door." This was originally the chestnuts brought by the fourth girl from home, from her own Zhuangzi, the second girl ate well, and when she heard that the girl was coming back, she sent someone to send it early, and asked the girl to try it. ”

It was actually given to Qin Jinhua by Qin Jinchun? With the situation of this fourth cousin in her own family, it is difficult for her to get something to give gifts. Although chestnuts are just a small thing, the mind is more important.

Qin Hanzhen ordered: "Keep it, when it's baked in a while, give me a taste." Although the car ride was stable today, I was sleepy in the morning, and I squinted for a while. When you look at the sky, you call me when it's almost time, and if you have to go to the main courtyard for dinner in the evening, you have to freshen up. ”

Feng'er responded, Lianshi was originally in the western room watching the little girls pack their luggage, and when she heard the sound, she hurriedly came over to serve Qin Hanzhen to rest. Qin Hanzhen is a trouble-free, seeing that the warm pavilion is comfortable, he only grabbed a pillow and tilted it casually on the kang, Feng'er took a thin quilt and covered it for her, even if it was over, there was no need to worry about Lian Shi at all. Seeing this, she had to grab a handful of soothing incense into the smoker, bring hot tea, and put it on the table, so that Qin Hanzhen could use it at any time when his mouth was dry.

Qin Hanzhen slept for an hour, and when he woke up, he only felt refreshed. Lian Rui had already prepared hot water and boiled it two or three times, and when she finally got up, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went over to serve her to freshen up. Baiqiao came over with the mirror box, stood by the kang and combed a simple hanging bun for her, knowing that she didn't love pearls and jade at home, so he gave her a pink hairpin yarn flower, which was the current season's wood hibiscus pattern, and gave her a bracelet to match.

Qin Hanzhen looked at the bracelet and said, "Where did this come from? Why haven't I seen it?" The silk flower is just a trivial matter, the Yongjiahou Mansion has a flower powder to wear every year according to the season, she is not at home, but the girls can use it. But this bracelet is made of silver wire, and with a rare pink purple hibiscus jade beads, the style is quite new, the craftsmanship is exquisite, it is by no means a big road goods, more like an internal thing. Qin Hanzhen has stored all the belongings and jewelry he owns, and in order to find things conveniently, he also specially ordered a catalog, indicating the location of the storage, and then matched it with a color picture drawn by himself, and found it accurately. So, if the bracelet was hers, there was no reason why she couldn't recognize it.

Bai Qiao smiled: "This was sent from Suning in June. The mother-in-law sent by His Royal Highness the King of the County said that His Royal Highness of their family accidentally got a few pieces of rare hibiscus jade, the color is extremely delicate, and it is difficult to find outside. It's a pity that the girl wasn't there at the time, and our subordinates heard that things were valuable, so they were afraid that something would go wrong, so they specially invited Mama Wei to keep an eye on them, and counted them in the same way and put them in the warehouse. Today, the girl came back, I looked at the girl's clothes, matching the color of the hibiscus jade, so I asked Sister Xia Qing to come forward, opened the warehouse, and took a bracelet for the girl to wear. ”

"Cousin Zhao sent it?" Qin Hanzhen sat up straight a little unnaturally, "Why did you send these things again?" He sent them every year, and now I can't wear the jewelry he gave me." ”

Bai Qiao smiled and said: "This is the intention of His Royal Highness the King of the County, the girl just needs to take it." Doesn't the girl send letters and things to Suning every year? This is just an exchange of gifts. ”

"Can that be the same?" Qin Hanzhen muttered quietly. Some of the gifts she sent were souvenirs bought when she was traveling abroad, some were landscapes and figure paintings drawn by herself, some were collected agricultural books, or the results of experiments on the grange, and some were food items for the season, which were not valuable things after all. But what kind of jewelry, antiques, and playthings that Zhao Mo sent, except for the letters and Suning's specialties, are all valuable, and this gift is still unequal, so how can she feel at ease? The girls were a little embarrassed.

When they were separated in Cangzhou that year, Zhao Mo asked her what she said, and she hadn't woken up yet, so he said again: "Cousin is not in a hurry to answer me, I just want you to know what I think." You think about it slowly, and you'll tell me the answer in a few years. It's just that before you answer me, you should ignore the others. ”

What is this called?! How can this kid learn to flirt at such a young age?

Although Qin Hanzhen knows that he has crossed over to become Lori, he has an adult soul, no matter how much he looks like a child in words and deeds, it is always difficult to change his mentality. When she looked at Zhao Mo at that time, she only thought that he was a boy who was only half the age of her mental age, and no matter how much she admired the beautiful boy, she never thought about how she would be with him in the future. But Zhao Mo's words before leaving reminded her that he was not really a child who was only half her age, but a young man who was three years older than her. It's really possible for them to get married.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't turn around for a while, and he was awkward for a while, and then when he returned to the capital, he was washed away by many trivial things, and he forgot about it. After that, Zhao Mo was like no one, and every one or two months, he had to send letters and things into Beijing. Because of his grandfather and grandmother, Qin Han really didn't want to show anything unusual, so he also exchanged letters with him as usual. But he never mentioned those words in the letter again, what does this mean?! Could it be that he ran away after flirting?!

Qin Hanzhen was angry for a while, it can be seen that he writes letters and sends things, he is very attentive, and his grandfather and grandmother are all happy, if she is angry, it seems inexplicable, so she has to hold this fire in her heart and swallow it again, but she faintly feels a little aggrieved in her heart.

It was probably because of this grievance that when my grandfather returned to Mizhi last year, he took a detour to Suning, and Qin Hanzhen excused that his grandmother was sick and wanted to stay to serve the sick, so he didn't follow, and he didn't even take care of going back to Mizhi to visit his grandmother and uncle's family. Zhao Mo didn't have anything unusual at all, he was still affectionate when he wrote letters, and he never stopped sending things, as if she was really a close sister to him. Qin Hanzhen punched the cotton, not to mention how depressed he was, but he couldn't tell anyone.

She secretly made up her mind that when she saw Zhao Mo again, she must scold him well! What kind of bastard words did he say back then?! Ask if someone would like to marry him, and then follow the previous sentence without answering for the time being, and after a few years, she will not even be given a chance to speak.

The worst thing is that at the end he told her to ignore the others until she answered him. She has to travel almost every year, and the roads she has traveled are probably more than 10,000 miles, and she has to study and paint with her grandfather and learn how to embroider and be a housekeeper from her grandmother. It's not like him, he said that he was busy farming, but in fact, he still had time to tease the little girl, thinking about how to make jewelry for the little girl, and he was idle all day long!

Qin Han was really angry, glanced at the bracelet, and pouted, "What are you doing wearing this Laoshzi at home?" Just after saying that, she hesitated again, "When you go out another day, wear this thing again." Put it away carefully and don't break it. ”

Bai Qiao responded crisply, carefully put the bracelet back into the mirror case, got up and turned his head to see the lotus stamen, glanced at her, then raised his chin and walked away with the mirror case.

Lian Rui lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and came to Qin Hanzhen, but changed her smile again: "Girl, the second girl came over with a post in the dyed autumn, saying that she invited the girl to come over to the house to taste tea and enjoy the autumn!"
