Chapter 59: Gratitude
It's not that Qin Han is really careful, but he can't trust his second uncle Qin An. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info really she thinks that Qin An is a straight character, and she will not easily deny what she believes, but she is a little naΓ―ve in some aspects, so she has not discovered the true face of the He family for many years, and she was easily coaxed again and again.
Now that He's true face has been exposed, since Qin An has divorced her, he naturally won't take her back to take care of her. But Sister Zhang is still young, and Qin An still has a bit of father-daughter affection for her. What if Sister Zhang pretends to be pitiful and Qin Anxin relents and does not send her to the Chen family, but stays at home to raise her?
Sister Zhang didn't even have to use very technical methods, she only needed to pretend to be sick to delay her schedule to go to the Chen family.
Therefore, the safest way is for Qin An to send Sister Zhang away in front of her parents. Although he is easy to be soft-hearted, he is still a filial son in front of his parents, and he will not break the oath he made in front of his parents.
It's a pity that now that there is Zhao Mo's matter, the Qin family and his party must leave for the capital in advance, and they can't wait for the Chen family to pick up Sister Zhang.
The Chen family has not heard back so far, which is also reasonable. Although Qin An sent someone to deliver the letter to the Chen family patriarch quickly, it should be delivered in two days anyway, and the round trip would not take more than four days, but the Chen family may be hesitant, or hesitate not to accept Sister Zhang'er, a suspected wild species, so it is not surprising that it will drag on for a few days. Qin An originally just thought that it would be good if the Chen family could send someone to pick it up within a month. But it was impossible for Qin Bai and his wife to wait any longer.
The only thing Qin Hanzhen looked forward to was that the Niu family could remind Qin An again before leaving, urging him to send Sister Zhang away. In this way, things are even more foolproof.
Niu listened to Qin Hanzhen's reminder, and immediately remembered Sister Zhang'er. However, she didn't value it as much as Qin Hanzhen, but said disapprerovingly: "If you can't catch up, you can't catch up, and she can't escape anyway." With your second uncle here, can't you help her little girl?" Niu never thought that Qin An would disobey his parents' orders and leave Sister Zhang behind, nor did he think that Sister Zhang, such a rude and willful little girl, could play any conspiracy.
Niu just reminded Qin Hanzhen: "Mother Zhang is gone, you have to find a reliable girl to take care of the affairs in your house." That Chunhong is very dishonest, Xia Qing is okay, but he is younger, and he can't suppress that Chunhong. If you don't have anyone to call you, I'll send you a hundred spirits, how about she? I have you Tiger Mama here, but I don't need her much, I don't have to give in. β
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly said: "No need, just keep Bailing and make it herself." My cousin just sent me another girl named Qingxing. I thought, let Xia Qing take care of my house first, and the new Qing Xing will give her a hand. Although Chunhong is not honest, she doesn't dare to mess around. Besides, we have to hurry, she can only take a carriage on the road, what else can she do? I will tell the deacon and grandmother from the Hou Mansion to take care of it tightly. If Chunhong is disobedient, I will directly chase her on the road, and it will not be me who will suffer at that time. β
Niu smiled: "That's right, let's do it." She paused, and showed some reluctant expressions, but her tone seemed to be understated, "Actually, it's not a big deal to get Chunhong away, there is a parrot brother next to Mama Tiger, ask her to wait for you, I don't dare to say anything about that Chunhong." β
Brother Parrot is a first-class girl under Mrs. Chengenhou, but Chunhong is only a third-class, so naturally she doesn't dare to show Brother Parrot's face. Qin Hanzhen also knew that Brother Parrot was very capable of following Mama Tiger to help manage things. If it weren't for the Niu family eating the flying vinegar of Mrs. Chengenhou, and deliberately not wanting her girls, this parrot brother should have served by the Niu family's side, how could he have cheapened the Bailing sent by the Yao family, the second young lady of Qin?
Qin Hanzhen's Chunhong and Xia Qing are both from Mrs. Chengenhou's courtyard, and she doesn't care about Brother Parrot's origin. Just think about it, Datong to the capital is a few hundred miles away, no matter how slow the road is, it is estimated that it will take more than ten days to arrive. In such a short period of time, why add another girl who will leave sooner or later? It's too troublesome, so let's continue to use it. Qin Hanzhen asked himself, just Xia Qing and Qingxing are actually enough. There was only one mother Zhang by her side, and she didn't feel any inconvenience. There are too many girls, and it's easy to make people feel constrained.
Thinking so, when Qin Bai summoned Qin An to come, the father and son added a Wu Shaoying, and a Zhao Mo as a bystander, and the four of them discussed the itinerary and made their own preparations.
Wen Shaoyang promised to send luggage to Zhao Mo, but when Wu Shaoying went to the Wen family, everyone watched, so as not to let the Wen family father and son see the clues, they did not work as porters for Wen Shaoyang. Wen Shaoyang said that tomorrow he would send someone to send something in the name of gifts. Zhao Mo is in the Qin family tonight, but he has to borrow the clothes and things of the Qin family.
The Qin family did not have anyone of similar stature to Zhao Mo, so he didn't know where to find clothes suitable for him for a while. There was also a brother Hun before. But Brother Hun is a small servant, and when he left the Qin family, he took all his luggage with him, so naturally he couldn't help. Later, Qin An gave Zhao Mo a few of his new clothes, although they didn't fit well, but it was not impossible to deal with them overnight.
Zhao Mo lives in the study in the front yard, and his neighbor is Wu Shaoying. But for the sake of safety, Qin Bai sent Hu Yong to Zhao Mo's house to work on the floor and act as a guard. Wu Shaoying asked one of his two henchmen to stay in the gatehouse, and the other to stay outside the guest room where he lived, just in case. In this way, nothing goes wrong.
The night passed peacefully. Early the next morning, Wen Shaoyang's people came, and it was one of the coachmen and two entourages who had come yesterday. In the name of giving gifts to the Tang family and asking Qin Bai and his wife on her behalf, they gave some local products from Datong, with Zhao Mo's luggage in between. Uncle Hu accepted the things and quickly sent the luggage to Zhao Mo.
Zhao Mo flipped through it and saw that there were not many things, mainly a few changes of clothes, finished pills that might be used when he went out, as well as some gold and silver bills and silver tickets, which were about a few hundred taels, presumably prepared for him on the road and after entering Beijing.
He is the prince of the palace, from Liaodong to Datong, naturally he will not only bring this little thing, but he also understands Wen Shaoyang's concern that he does not dare to send all his belongings over. His things were left in the Wen family, and someone must be staring at them, and if they were taken casually, Wen Sanye would definitely notice something. If Third Master Wen guessed that he was hiding in the Qin family, it would be troublesome. Therefore, Wen Shaoyang only quietly took away a few changes of clothes at the bottom of the box, all of which were a little old, and no one would easily find them if they disappeared. As for the gold and silver bills and silver tickets, at first glance, they are the private rooms of Wen Shaoyang and Tang's mother and son. That's all they can do.
Zhao Mo sighed and didn't care much. However, Qin Hanzhen heard Mama Hu tell the Niu family that there was not much luggage sent by the Wen family, and now it is March, and it will be late spring, but there is not even a summer coat in the baggage, and there are no daily utensils. Qin Hanzhen quickly guessed Wen Shaoyang's concerns, so he ran over to comfort Zhao Mo, said his guess, and said to Zhao Mo: "If you lack anything, just tell Mama Hu, our family will buy it for you, and it's the same." β
Zhao Mo smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. Since he was a child, he has been accustomed to a life surrounded by slaves, and those daily necessities have always been prepared by the people around him, and there are some things that are used personally. Because he had only known the Qin family for a day, although he was grateful to the Qin family in his heart, there were always some things that were difficult to say.
Qin Hanzhen said, "You don't have to be embarrassed. Didn't my grandfather let you study with him? When I was in Mizhi, my grandfather's students lived in our house on weekdays, and our family took care of everything, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Although you are a grandchild, the treatment should be similar. β
Zhao Mo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. His grandfather was a classmate of Mr. Qin Bai, and he studied with Mr. Qin, and he was indeed a grandchild.
After a while, Hu Yong really sent him a lot of things, and said: "The little mother said that these new clothes were originally made for the second master and Uncle Wu, and they were not worn, she asked someone to change them to a little smaller overnight yesterday, presumably Zhao Gongzi should be dressed well, please Zhao Gongzi will be in a few days." When she is free on the road, the little mother will make a new one for her son. "In addition to that, there are some daily miscellaneous items. But whatever was not in the luggage sent by the Wen family, the Qin family had all prepared, mixed with some copper coins, broken silver, and the four treasures of the study and books. It's almost all the things he needs for food, clothing, housing, transportation, reading and calligraphy.
Zhao Mo was grateful to the Qin family for his thoughtfulness, and then thanked Qin Bai again. Qin Bai helped him up and said with a smile: "Those are all trivial things, you don't have to care." But the old man is a little embarrassed, and he can't prepare anything good in a hurry, they are all ordinary objects, and Guanglu will make it. When you arrive in the capital, you are reunited with Ling Zun, and there will naturally be something good for you. β
Zhao Mo said solemnly: "Even if my father prepares good things for Guanglu, it can't compare to my uncle's family's intentions for Guanglu." β
Qin Bai knew that he had endured the betrayal of his relatives repeatedly, so he was excited for a while, and he didn't care, he just pulled him to sit down and asked about his homework, and the questions were very detailed, just like a real teacher who cared about Zhao Mo's studies.
Zhao Mo was surprised in his heart, he originally thought that this was just an excuse for Qin Bai to take him in, but he didn't expect that the other party was really asking him about his homework, and his heart was even more moved. When he was in the Liao Palace, he also studied for a few years under the guidance of his mother. However, the king of Liao valued martial arts and neglected literature, and especially hated the scholarly style of the Yuan and Tang families, so he didn't like his children and grandchildren to read too many books, and always said that it was enough for a man to be able to understand military books. If Zhao Mo hadn't been influenced by his eldest sister-in-law Tang and read poetry and books, he might have delayed the best learning time. Now his homework is quite passable, and his handwriting is still quite correct, but compared to the students that Qin Bai has received in the past, he is far inferior. Qin Bai also knew about the bad things of King Liao, so he didn't care, but taught Zhao Mo more carefully.
Zhao Mo sensed Qin Bai's intentions, and also felt the kindness of the Niu family, in front of the second elder, he was a very well-behaved young man, polite to the point of innocence and innocence.
But Qin Hanzhen looked at him like this, and always felt a little disobedient. Could it be that she saw Zhao Mo beating an adult man to death with a punch in the back alley on the upper floor of the restaurant that day, and she was dazzled?
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but glance at Zhao Mo a few more times, wondering in his heart. Zhao Mo seemed to notice it, turned around, and showed an innocent smile at her. (To be continued.) )
