Chapter 14 Residence
As soon as everyone in the second room left, the atmosphere in the Kurong Hall slowly eased. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although everyone in the long room and the third room knew that the benefits of Qin Song's work back then had now been exposed, and the third room would definitely not let him go so easily, but that was all after that. Now that the two rooms are smart people, they naturally will not settle old accounts at this time. With Yao taking the lead to ease, everyone also made a very tacit understanding to make the illusion of harmony, as if the conflict had not happened.
Niu's heart was actually a little unconvinced, but Qin Bai suddenly mentioned that the queen mother knew that he had returned to the capital back then, she was puzzled, but it was not good to ask her husband on the spot, so she had to suppress her doubts first and lock up where she was going to live. Everything else is to say, how can the family not pay attention to their new residence if they want to live in this Cheng'en Marquis Mansion for a while......?
Yao Shi gave her a detailed introduction: "The gate of Qingfeng Pavilion is in the outer courtyard, and the west of Yimen is there, which is very close to here, and it is convenient for the third uncle and three aunts to go over for a while." It was the former residence of the third uncle when he was in the mansion in the past. It's just that our family's mansion, after it was confiscated, was once given to others by the first emperor. That family fell after the Holy One ascended the throne, and the Holy One gave this house to our family again. It's a pity that the family once changed the house and merged the courtyard of the original Qingfeng Pavilion with the back of Tingyuxuan. Because the previous houses were washed by water, and the layout was changed when they were rebuilt, and it took a lot of trouble to build them back to their original appearance, so after our family moved back, they remained the same. Listening to Yuxuan, it has become two in, and now it is the third brother and three brothers and sisters who live. Although there is only one courtyard left, it is very spacious and bright. The purple magnolia planted by the third uncle in the yard is blooming just right now. ”
Qin Bai was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, but when he thought of the purple magnolia, this disappointment was also a little lighter. In fact, he also understands that he has been away from home for 30 years, and it is impossible for the yard where he originally lived to be kept for him. It's just that he thought that at most, he would be occupied by his nephew in his later life, but he didn't think that even the layout of the yard had been rebuilt. Is the old residence still the Qingfeng Pavilion in his memory?
However, Qin Bai was not a very persistent person in the first place, so he didn't think much about it.
But Yao continued to explain diligently: "Since Qingfeng Pavilion returned to the hands of the Qin family, there has never been a person living in it. When my grandfather was young, he used it as a place for my husband's classes. After Brother Jane and her brother were enlightened, they also studied and went to school there. The third uncle can rest assured that the rooms in the Qingfeng Pavilion have always been cleaned up and clean, and no one has been ruined. ”
After saying this, she smiled again: "Actually, since last year, the second aunt has been making a fuss about asking Brother Xun for Qingfeng Pavilion, saying that when Brother Xun turns seven years old, she will move out of her parents and live alone, so she happens to live there." How can this be done? Qingfeng Pavilion is the place of the third uncle, how can it be given to Brother Xun? Brother Jian, several of them are old, and they have never said such a thing. Besides, the nephew and daughter-in-law had already cleaned up the house for Brother Xun when Yan returned, and it was close to the Fugui Residence where the second room lived, wouldn't it be more suitable? I heard that the third uncle came back to live, and she was still unhappy. ”
Qin Bai raised his eyelids: "The second room now lives in Fuguiju?"
Yao Shi hurriedly smiled: "Yes, it used to be the former residence of the second uncle, so it is just right for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to live." Aunt Fu and Grandma now live in the East Courtyard behind Fuguiju, and the second aunt lives in Xinzhai and happens to be neighbors. Yan's return is just behind the east courtyard, and it couldn't be closer to the second room. ”
Qin Bai was silent. Xu smiled slightly: "The house in the family has been rebuilt in many places, and the third uncle may not be able to recognize it clearly, right? When will the third uncle and the third siblings take a break, find a day with good weather, and ask their juniors to accompany you to take a good walk around the house and recognize the road." ”
Qin Bai smiled and bowed to her: "Sister-in-law is thoughtful, and my brother has thanked me." ”
Xu paused and smiled again.
Niu looked at this scene, although he knew that Qin Bai could not have anything to do with Xu's, but when he heard him call the other party "sister-in-law" and clarify the relationship, he was still a little happy in his heart.
Qin Song was a little uncomfortable, he glanced at the expression on his wife's face a few times, coughed heavily, and said a little abruptly: "It's not too early." I'll take my third brother to the ancestral hall first, and give my father and mother incense, so that the ancestors will know that the third brother has returned home. Mrs. first talked to the three siblings. We'll be back in a moment, and we'll have dinner. ”
Xu Shi smiled dignifiedly. Yao immediately got busy, and ordered the servants outside the door to prepare incense and candle offerings, and asked someone to lead the way, and called a mother-in-law to hug Brother Zi'er. He is the only male in the third generation of the third room, so he naturally wants to go to the ancestral hall with his grandfather and uncle to kowtow. Qin Bai knew that his grandson was afraid of life, so he stopped the Yao family and went to hug his grandson himself. Qin Ping hurriedly took the lead and hugged Brother Zi'er. Brother Zi'er was a little timid at first, but seeing that although Qin Ping was a little serious, he was not vicious to himself, so he seemed a little relieved.
Qin Song took his two sons and led three generations of men in three rooms. Only women and children were left in the Kurong Hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Yao smiled and pulled the Min family and invited the Xu family and the Niu family to the side hall of the west room. The furnishings and layout here are more suitable for a family to sit around and talk and laugh, not as restrained as in the main hall.
Qin Han is really a girl, and when she was in Mizhi's house, she participated in the Chinese New Year's Eve sacrifice to her ancestors. It's just that the rules in the Chengenhou Mansion are that only boys can enter the ancestral hall, and girls just kowtow outside the ancestral hall when they officially worship their ancestors, so Qin Hanzhen follows the customs of the countryside and does not have to follow his grandfather. She didn't think much of it in her heart, but she was pulled by her cousins and taken to the west.
Kurong Hall is the main hall of the Chengenhou Mansion, and five rooms are open. The main hall of the bright room is used to entertain distinguished guests and offer holy decrees; the east room is a side hall for foreign guests of slightly inferior specifications, and the west room is generally used to entertain female guests, but it is also a place for their female dependents to rest during major ceremonies; as for the end room, the use is more flexible: the east end of the room is empty, and now it is temporarily used as a warehouse for storing furniture and furnishings needed for important ceremonies, and there are two round tables and round stools in the west room, which can be used for people to sit around and talk, and if necessary, it can also be changed into a card table for the pleasure of wives and grandmothers.
There are separate small doors at the east and west, and the warm pavilions at both ends are connected by verandahs, one east and one west, which are the places where male and female guests are greeted in winter, so there is no need to go into detail.
Qin Hanzhen was dragged by his cousins to sit down in the west room, so that he had time to look at these peers.
The eldest of the cousins is Qin Jian, the eldest son born to Qin Zhonghai and Yao, who is twelve years old this year, quite tall and polite, always with a flattering smile on his face, and can already see a little bit of the demeanor of the future beautiful son. He is very kind to Qin Hanzhen, and he looks like a gentle big brother. Although he didn't know how sincere he was, Qin Hanzhen was still willing to believe that a twelve-year-old boy was not a scheming person.
Under Qin Jian, who was originally his half-brother, Qin Han really remembered that it was a ten-year-old boy, but he was not present at the moment. She thought it was because of the relationship between the other party's concubine, but just now she clearly saw the concubine in the second room, and now there is the eldest son of Qin Shutao, the third cousin of the third cousin Qin Shutao, the eight-year-old Qin Shun, it can be seen that today's marriage is not limited to the concubine. What was going on with that ten-year-old cousin, Qin Hanzhen didn't want to ask more, but secretly remembered it in his heart. Don't look at Yao's humorous and capable appearance, this concubine may be her taboo. When encountering this cousin's matter in the future, Qin Hanzhen thought that it was better to be cautious, but not to offend people in a daze.
The lobby sister Qin Jinyi, the fourth cousin Qin Jinchun, and the fourth cousin Qin Xun in the second room are not there, so there is no need to mention it. Qin Shutao also has two sons and daughters, the fifth girl Qin Jinrong and the sixth cousin Qin Duan, one is five years old and the other is three years old, they can't even understand the words, so they can only play on the side by themselves. Qin Hanzhen greeted them and greeted each other, and it was over. I just wanted to go back and wait for Brother Zi'er to come back, and I had to let him know these two cousins. For the four-year-old, these two are probably future playmates, right?
As for Qin Hanzhen's own playmates...... She can see that the one she will deal with the most in the future is probably the daughter of the long house, and she is the second cousin Qin Jinhua, who is eight years old with her.
Qin Jinhua is very different from the lobby sister Qin Jinyi. obviously has a beautiful mother, but Qin Jinhua's appearance does not look outstanding, obviously his facial features are very similar to his biological mother, but he is combined into a slightly mediocre face. However, she has a quiet temperament, and at this age she sits there gently, and she speaks slowly and logically, which is quite likable. At least, she took a "well-behaved" advantage.
If Qin Jinhua himself is as well-behaved as he looks, then it shouldn't be difficult to get along in the future, right?
Qin Han was really a little curious, the second room was so styled, and he didn't know what kind of temperament the lobby sister and the fourth cousin were?
Regarding Qin Hanzhen's question, Qin Jinhua answered it very enthusiastically: "The sisters all live in one place, but I live alone in Mingyuewu, and the eldest sister and the fourth sister live together in the Peach Blossom Pavilion, and the two yards are next to each other, so they can be regarded as neighbors." On weekdays, we go to school together and play games together, which is very close. Although my second uncle and grandmother were often critical of us, we didn't see her much. She went to the elders when she was angry, and when she saw us, she just said a few words, and she didn't embarrass people much. The eldest aunt is a kind person. Although the big sister is a little stronger, she is not difficult to get along with. As for the fourth sister, she is a delicate person. My sister will get acquainted with her in the future, and she will definitely like her. ”
If so, that's fine. What Qin Hanzhen is most worried about in his heart is the fight of the older generation in this Chengen Mansion, the fight of the younger generation, and even the younger generation fights every day, so how can he live?
Qin Jian said with a smile: "My sister lives alone in Mingyuewu on weekdays, and she is quite lonely, and she looks forward to when the fifth sister will be two years older and will be able to move over to accompany you." Now that the third sister is here, she just moved out at this age, doesn't she happen to be with you?"
Qin Jinhua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said to Qin Hanzhen: "Brother is very true of what he said, third sister, why don't you move to me too?"
Qin Hanzhen was stunned. What kind of god is this? (To be continued.) )
