Qin Han was really puzzled, thinking that there was nothing to do at the moment anyway, so he simply stayed and chatted with this second master Huang for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Zhou Xiangnian felt inexplicable, he still took a step back very cooperatively and gave up his position to the little master. However, he didn't leave, but ordered someone to serve a new cup of tea, refilled the cup of hot water for Second Master Huang, and then stood aside and listened to the instructions.

Second Master Huang was originally a little nervous, but Qin Hanzhen was just a little girl, with a kind attitude, and was very polite to him, as if he didn't care about the difference in the identities of the two of them, he gradually calmed down, and he and Qin Hanzhen could chat normally.

Qin Hanzhen started with today's Dongguan Street and mentioned Yangzhou's scenic spots: "Today I accompanied my grandfather and grandmother to visit Dongguan Street for a day. Time is too short, and we don't dare to go far. But this day alone was an eye-opener for me. Everyone says that Yangzhou is a very prosperous city, and it really deserves its name. It's a pity that I can't stay for a few more days this time, and I hope I will have the opportunity to come again in the future. But I don't know what else to do in Yangzhou City? Your old man is a local, so he must know very well, right? Can you tell me about it?"

Naturally, the second master Huang would not refuse, and he also opened the conversation box and introduced her to the places with good scenery inside and outside Yangzhou. Slender West Lake is naturally indispensable, Daming Temple can not be mentioned, there are several gardens, some are privately owned, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter, some are open to rent, spend a little silver to rent for a day, or to entertain, or bring the inner family to enjoy the play, are very common things. The Huang family is also considered to be a solid family in Yangzhou City, although it is not as prominent as the descendants in the capital, but it still has some reputation in the city. Second Master Huang has been to several gardens, and he can tell which garden has some benefits, and by the way, he will reveal the rent to Qin Hanzhen.

Qin Hanzhen followed his tone and inquired about the situation of the Huang family.

Second Master Huang had completely relaxed at this time, and came to chat with the younger girl with a kind and kind attitude to the little girl, and called "Third Sister" with his mouth open and closed, and he didn't have any vigilance in his mind at all, and he told the truth very smoothly.

He is a person in the second room of the Huang family in Yangzhou, and the sect room is also the long house, which is the branch in the capital, that is, the maiden family of the old marquis's original wife Huang. After the resumption of the branch, he moved back to the capital, except for sending people back to his hometown every year to worship the ancestors, and sending men back to burn incense and worship his ancestors every few years, he rarely appeared in Yangzhou City. The sacrificial matters in the clan are basically the responsibility of the people in the second room.

Although the relationship between the clan and the second room is not close, they have always been very kind to the clansmen, and if there are children in the clan, they are also willing to help. A nephew of Huang Er's favorite, when he went to Beijing to take the exam, he lived in the house of the grandson, and was once personally taken out by Huang Jincheng to meet people and expand contacts.

This is probably the reason why Huang Jincheng and Huang Erye, the members of the family, are still familiar.

Qin Hanzhen originally wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about what Huang Jincheng wanted to do when he invited him to come on the boat. Who knew that Second Master Huang bit very tightly on this issue, and refused to mention half the truth, only saying that he was going to follow Huang Jincheng to his appointment, and as for what he was going to do when he took office, he refused to say anything more.

The second master Huang is in his fifties, older than Qin Bai, even if he follows Huang Jincheng, a junior, to Jinling, he can't do any staff work. Qin Han really didn't quite understand what he was going to do. However, he didn't want to say more, and Qin Hanzhen didn't want to ask too much, so he changed his tone and asked another question instead: "So, Second Grandpa Huang, after you arrive in Jinling, you will be separated from us? Because I am going to follow my grandfather and grandmother back to my hometown in Jiangning, but Lord Huang is going to Jinling City to take office." Imperial Physician Shen is going back to visit his relatives, and I don't know where his relatives live. ”

Qin Hanzhen actually just knocked on the side of the sentence, and never thought that this sentence really played a great role. When Second Master Huang replied, he said: "I won't enter Jinling City first, but I'll go to Jiangning with you." I still have business to do in Jiangning. ”

Qin Han was really surprised: "So you are also going to Jiangning? Why don't you go with Lord Huang? Oh, how good is this? Why didn't you bring an entourage? You are in a foreign land, and there is no one to take care of you, Lord Huang should at least send someone to accompany you." "It is rumored that Huang Jincheng's ship only added one guest, Huang Er.

Second Master Huang laughed and said, "It's okay, I also have relatives and friends in Jiangning." My brother's family is there. Speaking of this, he told Qin Hanzhen frankly, "Actually, our Huang family and your Qin family are quite close. Our aunt and grandmother married your grandfather as the original match, not to mention, the daughter of my brother is now married into your Qin family's clan. I heard that now your clan calls her Xiao Huang. She had a good life in Jiangning, and she took my brother's family over a few years ago to enjoy happiness. I came here to find them this time. Maybe I can meet the third sister in the Qin family when I go back. ”

Qin Han was really stunned, she really didn't know about it. The main thing is that the Qin clan in Jiangning's hometown basically does not appear in the sight of the Qin family in the capital on weekdays, at most she heard that her great-grandfather and great-grandmother are buried in her hometown, and after the Qin family is rehabilitated, the ancestral house has been renovated, and it seems that there is no place for three rooms. Other than that, she knew almost nothing about the people of Jiangning.

The Huang family actually married another daughter into the Qin family, and it is also the clan in charge of the power in the clan?

Qin Hanzhen inquired again, only to know that Xiao Huang was married to the second son of the Qin clan, not the son of the sect.

It sounded like a particularly powerful person, and she was secretly relieved in her heart.

However, the Huang family is also a big family in Yangzhou, and it is strange that this branch in the second room will follow the married daughter to settle in the other place where her husband's house is located.

Qin Hanzhen wanted to ask the reason again, but this time, Second Master Huang refused to say more, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. With this attitude, you can tell that there is a problem at a glance. Perhaps his brother's family left their homeland for some reason that was not well publicized.

Qin Hanzhen's eyes rolled a few times, and then he discussed the possibility of meeting in Jiangning with Second Master Huang, and asked where his brother's family lived by the way.

Second Master Huang didn't seem to be unwilling to answer this question, after all, this was not a secret, but unfortunately, he only opened his mouth to say half a sentence, and Qin Jian and Zhao Mo came back.

When Qin Jian and Zhao Mo came back, the entourage behind them were all big and small, and it seemed that they had gained a lot. The two of them still had excitement and joy on their faces, and when they saw Qin Hanzhen, they happily told her that they had brought her a gift.

Qin Hanzhen greeted the deck, and Second Master Huang followed behind her, a little excited and a little cramped, looking back and forth at the two teenagers of the same age, not sure which one was Qin Jian.

Zhou Xiangnian quickly made an introduction on the side.

Qin Hanzhen also explained to Qin Jian the identity of Second Master Huang. Qin Jian had a blank look on his face, but he still quickly restrained his excited expression, put on the courtesy of the prince of the Hou Gate, and respectfully and elegantly greeted the second master Huang.

Second Master Huang was a little at a loss, and hurriedly supported him, preventing him from bowing down, and praised him for his good looks and extraordinary demeanor, and he was a little incoherent. Qin Jian's face was flushed with praise from him, but he was even more puzzled in his heart-what did this elder come to him for a big night?

Second Master Huang didn't say what he was here for, so he left. Maybe he just came over to meet Qin Jian, a distant relative. Before leaving, he also said several times: "I am free during the day, remember to come to our side more, I want to talk to you well." ”

Qin Jian humbly smiled politely and sent him off the boat, and turned around and asked Qin Hanzhen puzzled: "What is this cousin doing here for me?"

Qin Hanzhen shook his head: "He won't say anything." If Brother Lobby is really curious, Ming'er will go over to chat with him, and he may know. It's too late now, you're tired after a long day of shopping, where can you have the time to entertain him?"

Qin Jian said, "Ming'er has set off, how can I go over and talk to him?" I have to continue to listen to the third uncle's lecture." Well, when the boat docks at night tomorrow, I'll look for him again. ”

After speaking, he tilted his head again: "It's really strange." We have never had anything to do with the Huang clan in Yangzhou, so why did my second cousin suddenly come to me?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "It's not all. Just now I saw that he was waiting for you here alone, which was quite pitiful, and persuaded him to go back first, and then visit him when you came back. But he actually refused, insisting on waiting for you to come back. Isn't he an elder, how can he be so polite to you?"

Qin Jian smiled: "I have a lot of elders, but not everyone has the confidence to put an elder in front of me." ”

After saying this, he changed the subject: "Today I will send the previous painting to be repaired." There are indeed many skilled craftsmen here in Yangzhou. When the third uncle told me how those powerful framers were skilled, I didn't believe it, but now in that shop, it has opened my eyes!" and said, "I bought a lot of good things for my sisters, and the third sister came to pick up a few pieces, and I asked someone to send the rest back to Beijing." ”

There is such a good thing, Qin Hanzhen can't miss it. She agreed crisply, and looked at Zhao Mo with a smile: "Cousin Zhao, do you also have a gift for me?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "This is nature. It's just that there are too many things, and I'll give it to you when I'm done. ”

Qin Hanzhen happily let the two elder brothers go back to the cabin, and he went to see his grandfather and grandmother. She told her grandfather everything she had just heard from Second Master Huang, and asked him, "Is there anything strange about the Huang family?" I think Second Master Huang is really not like an elder to a junior to Brother Tang, and his tone is full of weakness. What does he have to be vain?"

Qin Bai pondered for a moment before he said to Qin Hanzhen: "I don't know about the side, but his niece who married into the Qin family's clan is not simple. Your second uncle Zhonghai once mentioned to me before that in the Qin family clan in Jiangning, the eldest son of the eldest son has been weak since he was a child, and he has been sick for many years, so it is difficult to take on the responsibility of clan affairs, so most of the clan affairs on weekdays are managed by the second son. It can be seen that although Xiao Huang is the second daughter-in-law, she does not have the name of a clan woman, but she has the reality of a clan woman. Her own uncle would never be respectful in front of Brother Jian's junior. It's really weird. ”
