Chapter 151: The Fragrance of Tea
"Miscellaneous things, what kind of miscellaneous things?" Huo Zhijian turned his head to look at Changning Dao. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Changning said in a deep voice: "There are three miscellaneous things. It is said that the famous master looks down on the Qin family, but the Qin family does not like the Qin family, and the Qin family does not like the nameless master, and is now in a dilemma; second, the Qin family's in-laws, the Zuo family, have recently made a fuss about the concubine dispute, and there are many rumors; third, the Xiao family, who has always been good friends with the Qin family, has been extremely cold to the Qin family recently, and has almost broken off contact. ”
Huo Zhijian raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.
Each piece is tricky.
Whether it is an important matter or a miscellaneous matter, there is no one that does not involve others, and some of them also involve the scholars.
It's just that the message from that person is: If necessary, you need to help the Qin family clear the obstacles.
Huo Zhijian sighed silently, and the depression in his heart became worse.
The man had his handle in his hand, and he could not disobey even if he was reluctant.
He felt helpless.
He just wants to be a fair and strict county zhongzheng, and he doesn't want to wade into the troubled waters of Han'an County, especially the Xiao family and the He family, he doesn't want to touch it at all. Because before leaving, Captain Huo personally told him that the matter behind these two families was not small, so he should stay away and not have more to do with it.
Huo Zhijian's brows furrowed extremely tightly, carefully weighing the priorities of these things.
The Qin clan seems to be the easiest to learn to invite the master, but in fact it is extremely difficult, if he can't do it, he will have to build the reputation of the Huo family, and he will give up first; he can't afford to provoke the Xiangyuan Du family, and he can't help with this matter; as for the Zuo family's concubine room competition, this matter is a bit taboo against him, and he instinctively doesn't want to care.
The rest, one is the Xiao family, and the other is the Cheng family.
Compared with the two, it is still extremely easy to make a choice, and the only way to make it difficult is to do so.
Huo Zhijian pondered for a moment, carefully thought about the context, and finally made up his mind, and the expression on his face eased a lot.
He raised his eyes to look at Changning and asked in a harmonious voice, "I remember, the old lady left five or six days later than us, can you arrange the things along the way?"
Changning bowed and said: "Back to Zhongzheng, it has been arranged, yesterday the guards came to report, saying that they would arrive in Pingcheng in two days." ”
"That's good. Huo Zhijian nodded, sighed, and looked a little worried: "The old lady is not in good health, and she has bone disease, and the south is damp at this time, I am afraid that she will make another leg pain on the road, so I can only hate me for not being able to take care of it in person." ”
Zhongzheng rest assured, the guards came to report that the old lady was in good health, and she ate well and slept well every day. Changning replied.
Huo Zhijian's face floated with a little relieved look: "The scenery here is beautiful, the old lady must be happy to live here, and her body and bones will be better." ”
Changning's waist bent lower, and he said respectfully: "Zhongzheng is filial piety and sincerity, and the world knows it." ”
This flattery obviously made Huo Zhijian very happy, the smile on his face deepened, and after a pause, he asked again: "Can you take the Qianqin orphan book that your father handed you over?"
Changning immediately lowered his head and said solemnly: "Yu Zhongzheng, the lone book is placed in the secret box, and the secret box is stored in the Zhongzheng study, and no third party knows about this matter." ”
Huo Zhijian stroked his beard and nodded.
This time he came to Pingcheng, Huo Lao Chengwei gave him the Huo family's family background, because he was afraid that he would be looked down upon in the north where the scholars were numerous.
"That's fine. Huo Zhijian felt more and more confident in his heart, beckoned Changning to come closer, he himself stood up, dusted off his sleeves, and said lightly: "You go to the study with me, and you will run for me later, and hand over a post to Cheng's house." ”
"Yes, Zhongzheng. Changning said in response.
Huo Zhijian put his hands on his hands, stepped on the east wind of the courtyard with a leisurely face, and slowly walked out of the corridor and left the garden.
**************************
It was only halfway through February, and the news of Huguan kiln was transmitted back to the Qin family.
The pot kiln will not be shut down.
This is undoubtedly bad news.
The clay of the pot is getting worse and worse in terms of quality and quantity. However, none of the other places that the Qin family fancied, including Xiangyuan, could be successfully acquired, either the scholars who owned the land were unwilling to sell it, or the government office suddenly announced that the land belonged to them and could not be bought and sold. In short, everything is not going well.
When he heard the news, Qin Suzheng was sitting on the short couch in Dehui Hall.
A warm breeze blew the pale gray curtain, and the pale green bamboo leaves embroidered on the curtain fluttered with the wind, as if the uneasiness born in her heart was not on the ground, only the east wind rolled.
Zhong looked at Mrs. Tai in the upper seat worriedly, his expression was quite heavy, and his voice was also low: "...... The eldest brother also asked people in many ways, but he still couldn't find a way, fortunately, Huguan was not in a hurry, but now he can still cope with it for a while. At this point, the gloom on her face grew even stronger.
Huguan kiln is the largest brick kiln factory in the Qin family, if it cannot produce good bricks, the impact on the Qin family is still quite large. Because it involves the family's future industry, the Zhong family deliberately chose to report the matter to Mrs. Tai on February 15, when the whole family was greeting each other in Dehui Hall, and also to explain to the whole family, even the younger generations listened to it.
When everyone in the hall heard this, their expressions were different for a while. Except for the Zhong family, the faces of the other three ladies were not very good-looking at this time.
Lin pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I can't even manage a kiln factory." ”
Her voice was very soft, but all those who were present had ears heard it.
Old Madam Gao glanced at her coldly and turned her head, Old Madam Wu looked cold and ignored her, but Zhong didn't look at her, only fixed his eyes on Madame Tai's body.
Mrs. Tai was indifferent, took a sip of the teacup, and said unhurriedly: "Your eldest brother is a steady one, and everything is up to him." And the place where the pot is closed is also cooked in our house, so it doesn't matter if you don't change it. She paused for a while, put the teacup on the table gently, looked at Zhong with a soft face, and said, "Don't be too anxious." It's just a matter of more and less, and the Qin family also has a lot of bricks from those kilns. ”
When Zhong Shi heard this, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he said with a slight choked voice: "Aunt Taijun......" only said these three words, and she couldn't say any more, so she took Bupa to wipe the corners of her eyes.
These days, she is in suspense day and night, and she has not been able to sleep soundly for this reason. Now that Mrs. Tai trusted her and her eldest brother so much, the tense string in her heart was loosened, and her emotions were a little excited at this time, and she almost burst into tears.
