Zhao Mo and Qin Bai stayed in the study for half a day. In the middle, they also sent people to Dongfu and invited Qin Zhonghai and Qin Jian, father and son, to come over, and the four of them talked behind closed doors for a long time, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Qin Hanzhen accompanied her grandmother in the main room and helped with some housework, and she was always a little distracted.

Zhao Mo obviously said that he was going to Dongfu to find Qin Jian to talk, but now he invited someone to Xifu instead, and brought his second uncle Qin Zhonghai with him. Could it be that Zhao Mo wanted to pull Qin Zhonghai into the team to deal with King Ninghua and his gang? However, considering that Changfang's in-law, Zhenxihou Mansion, might be involved in the case, it was also appropriate to call Qin Zhonghai, the future head of Changfang, to discuss.

I wonder what they will ultimately come up with?

Qin Hanzhen was spinning all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but he was called out by his grandmother Niu, and turned his attention to her side again: "What? Grandmother, what are you talking about just now? I didn't hear clearly. ”

Niu Shi glanced at her angrily: "I'll tell you about serious things, why are you still distracted?!" After complaining, he repeated his words, "Your uncle is about to enter Beijing, and his house is over, but the people waiting around him will definitely add more." But he is a military general, and he can't compare to a few masters in the long room, and he has to arrange a few more skilled entourages around him. But not only to have good skills, but also to be honest and reliable to be able to do things, I am afraid that there are not a few such talents among the children of our family. Let me ask you, are we going to find someone to buy a few people, or are we going to go to the long room and ask?"

It turned out to be this thing.

Qin Hanzhen said casually: "How can this kind of talent be bought casually? A young man with outstanding skills will not be reduced to the point of selling his body when he is idle, either there is a problem with his background, or there is a defect elsewhere. I don't think my grandmother has to worry about this, my uncle is a military general, and he naturally has his own soldiers around him, so it is good to arrange a few strong and smart people to do chores for him, but he doesn't have to find any masters to be his entourage. I really don't feel at ease, so I will choose a few martial arts from among the descendants of my great-grandfather's old department, or among the tenants of our family, select some offspring with strength, dexterity and dexterity, and arrange them to go to the outer courtyard first. If the uncle feels that it is necessary, let him choose for himself. ”

Niu felt that his granddaughter's proposal was reasonable, so he accepted it.

However, Qin Hanzhen was a little hesitant: "Grandmother, is my uncle really going back to Beijing......?" Didn't grandfather disapprove?"

Niu said: "Your grandfather was originally not very happy, but he went to the General Zhuguo Mansion and asked the Ma family what they meant, it was General Ma in Datong who wanted your uncle to follow him into Beijing." The Ma family treats our family with kindness, and since people have taken a fancy to your uncle, your grandfather has no reason to refuse. ”

Qin Bai went to the Ma family and secretly inquired about the Ma family. The Ma family was also straightforward and didn't hide anything. Datong's General Ma entered Beijing, which was originally the emperor's temporary intention, but the emperor had already discussed it with General Ma before issuing the order. One of the camps in Jingxi was originally to be handed over to Hou Shizi of Zhenxi, but now it is in General Ma's pocket. General Ma was ordered to be in danger, and the Ma family was stationed in the northwest and northern borders for a long time, and basically did not set foot in the military power of the capital, even General Ma Lao was occasionally ordered to pacify the banditry, and did not interfere in the military power of the imperial forest, the city guard and the western part of Beijing, therefore, after the Ma family agreed to take over the important task, they put forward some small requirements, such as they can bring their henchmen to serve in Beijing, such as bringing some more personal soldiers, and having the personnel power of their sergeants, and so on.

Although Qin An has some shortcomings, he has followed General Ma for many years, and he is obedient and easy to use. General Ma wants to enter Beijing, and he also wants to bring a few reliable subordinates, and when the new official takes office, he will have someone around him. Qin An is obedient and doesn't say anything, and he also has the background of the Yongjiahou Mansion, and if necessary, he can help General Ma deter some powerful children who don't listen to the command of their bosses because of their family background. With such an important helper, how could General Ma give up?

As for whether Qin An will be used by people with bad intentions because he is not smart and wise enough...... The Ma family didn't think about it at all. Since General Ma brought this subordinate into Beijing, he will keep a close eye on the people, strictly control them, and will never let him have the opportunity to be used by outsiders to dismantle the boss's platform. The Ma family even felt that Qin An would not even enter the capital and would not cause anything. If he really wanted to provoke him, he would have already provoked it when Datong was far away from his family. In fact, Qin An only had a little trouble when he was not strict with his ex-wife, which was not worth mentioning at all in General Ma's opinion.

Qin Hanzhen was expressionless when he heard this, and was silent for a while before asking, "Why did the Ma family say that the fifth uncle would even enter the capital less?"

Niu sighed: "General Ma is going to one of the three major battalions in western Beijing, and the station is in Changping, but the place is biased, seventy or eighty miles away from the capital, how can he go back and forth to his home every day? However, we can buy your uncle a house in Changping County, and he can go to spend the night in his spare time, so he doesn't have to stay in the barracks. ”

As for Qin An's wife, Xiao Feng, everyone is pregnant, so naturally she wants to stay in the Yongjiahou Mansion to raise the fetus and wait for childbirth. Qin Hanzhu also wanted to stay in the mansion and start reading and learning the rules. On the side of Changping's house, it is enough for Jinhuan to take a few people to wait. Niu thought that when Xiao Feng gave birth to the child and the child reached the age of one, she could go to Changping to reunite with Qin An.

If this happens to other large families, most mothers-in-law will leave their daughters-in-law at home to fulfill their filial piety. Especially the middle feed of Yongjiahou Mansion is still co-hosted by Niu and Qin Hanzhen, and Niu is getting older, and he feels more and more powerless, and he really wants to have a daughter-in-law to share his worries. However, she didn't plan to open this mouth, the child is too young, staying at home and being raised by the nurse, it is not good, the young couple, naturally should stay together, it is not a good thing to be separated from the two places for many years.

Niu sometimes thinks that if Qin Ping hadn't been stationed in Yulin for a long time, but Guan had stayed at home, the couple would not have been reunited, maybe Qin Ping would have had a son a long time ago, and she wouldn't have to worry about the eldest son's continuation now.

Qin Hanzhen didn't pay attention to Niu's sigh, she was a little unhappy to see Qin An's return to Beijing a foregone conclusion. However, it would be better to arrange another place for him to live in Changping, so she would not have to meet this uncle every day.

She also gave Niu an idea: "Is the military camp very close to the county seat of Changping? It is good to buy a house in the city, but wouldn't it be better to directly pack up the Zhuangzi where the family is in Changping and give it to the fifth uncle to live in? She doesn't know what to do, and she doesn't know if she will cause trouble, rather than letting her live in the county, when the fifth uncle is not at home, she is the only one in the house, it is better to let her only move in our family's village, and she is not allowed to go out of the village easily. In this way, there are people on Zhuangzi staring at her, not afraid that she will be a moth. And she has the help of people in Zhuangzi, and she is not afraid that her group of female dependents will be bullied. ”

Although Niu felt that this idea was a little too cautious, she was also a little jealous of Jinhuan, and it was not bad to put people under house arrest in disguise. There is just one point: "Our Zhuangzi in Changping is quite far from your uncle's camp, right? I remember Mama Hu mentioned to me that it takes two quarters of an hour to ride a horse." ”

The commute takes half an hour, which is very relaxing. Qin Hanzhen didn't care: "The fast horse definitely doesn't need two quarters of an hour, that is, just spend more time on the road." Where can a rented house be as comfortable as its own Zhuangzi? There is no comparison just by the area of land. If the fifth uncle wants to entertain his colleagues in the army at home and set up a banquet in the Zhuangzi, it is also more spacious and convenient than in the city, and he can also play riding and archery and hunting by the way. ”

Niu Shi thought about it and was right: "Then let the people in Changping Zhuangzi get ready, and clean up the house first." I remember that there was a two-hall house there, which was enough as a temporary place to stay. ”

Qin Hanzhen interface: "If it's not enough, build one or two more." In the future, the fifth aunt will have to go to live with the fifth uncle, if the child is also brought over, plus the waiting manpower, there is not enough place to live. The capital is not as good as Datong, the identity of the fifth uncle is there, and some pomp and circumstance are indispensable, and it is always necessary to sort out enough places for the fifth uncle and five aunts to live for their family. ”

If you live comfortably, you can stay in Changping all the time.

The Niu family was not aware of his granddaughter's careful thoughts, but felt that Qin Hanzhen was thoughtful. She was used to her son's responsibilities and couldn't be by her side often. Even if the youngest son has been living in Changping Zhuangzi with his daughter-in-law and children for a long time, she has nothing to disagree with. Changping is always closer to the capital than Datong. When Qin An entered the camp in Jingxi, she missed her sons and grandchildren, and she could call them back at any time, or she took a carriage to visit, which was very convenient.

Niu called Mama Hu over in a hurry, and the master and servant discussed how to clean up the Zhuangzi in Changping, and if necessary, they had to build additional houses. In order to allow Qin An to settle down in Chang'an as soon as possible, they may have to hire craftsmen to build day and night.

Qin Hanzhen didn't participate in the discussion, found an excuse to quit the main house, and was in a daze under the porch. She wondered if it was time to send a letter to her father, and since her uncle's return to Beijing was a foregone conclusion, her father would always know about it. Perhaps, my father can also consider being transferred back to the capital? It makes no sense that my uncle's family lives comfortably in the capital, but my father has to be alone outside.

The discussion in the study seemed to be over. Qin Zhonghai took Qin Jian over to greet the Niu family, said a few words, and left. Qin Bai was still in the study and didn't come out, but Zhao Mo was about to leave.

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly took over the task of sending off the guest, sent Zhao Mo out of the house all the way, and asked him: "On the day when the second dragon raises his head in February this year, will you be in Beijing?"

It was Zhao Mo's birthday, and he understood why she asked like this, but he really couldn't say: "It's hard to say, if there is a will in the palace, no matter what day it is, I will leave immediately." After a pause, "Most of them can't be in the capital." However, on my cousin's birthday, I will try to rush back. "Qin Hanzhen's birthday is on the 1200th birthday of February.

Qin Han was a little disappointed, but still persuaded him: "Don't be too demanding." It's my birthday this year, and if you can't spend it with me, then make up for it next year. Anyway, you can spend your birthday every year, but if you are tired or affect your business, how can you make up for it?"

Zhao Mo suddenly smiled brightly: "Okay, cousin's birthday next year, I will definitely accompany you." ”

Qin Hanzhen will be next year, and Zhao Mo's words are quite meaningful. When she heard this, her face flushed slightly, and she glanced at him, but she didn't smack him.

It's just that Zhao Mo smiled so meaningfully, his eyes kept staring at her, Qin Hanzhen couldn't bear it anymore, and was busy talking about it: "When the second uncle just left, his expression was a little strange, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "Actually, it's nothing." Second cousin he ...... Surprisingly decisive. ”

Qin Han was really puzzled, what did this mean?
