Qin Xuan is like falling into an ice cave.

His nephew is Zhao Yi's nephew, but his father-in-law's family is doing things for Zhao You, and he still holds Zhao Ji's Yulu.

Mrs. Zuo doesn't know these things about the second master of the Zuo family, she calculates the days, and in another month it will be the birthday of the ancestors, she is the aunt of the Zuo family, and the annual birthday gift is a thousand choices.

Hearing that Qin Yan was back, she sent someone to the front yard to invite Qin Yan over. Qin Hao was worried about the affairs of the Zuo family, and now the most unpleasant thing to hear was this word Zuo, and when he learned that Mrs. Zuo was looking for him, he asked, "What is the matter?"

It was Qin Xuan's little servant who came to call him, and he said: "When the little one went in, Mrs. Zuo was looking at the five bats who gave the ancestor of the Zuo family a birthday, and I thought it should be a birthday gift. ”

Qin Yan's mood was even more irritated, but it was a pity that his two sons were in office, it would be nice if they could be around, and he could discuss it with them, but now he didn't even want to discuss it with his staff, although he and Mrs. Zuo had been husband and wife for thirty years, but over the years, they had gathered less and left more, but they had become more and more strange, so that even the second master of the Zuo family, he didn't want to tell Mrs. Zuo.

He said to the servant: "Tell Madame, I want to go to the third room, and you don't have to wait for me for dinner." ”

After speaking, he went to the third room, until he had dinner in the third room, he stood in the moon with three points of wine, and suddenly felt that he might be able to discuss with Qin Jue.

Although the two sons are not bad, compared to Qin Jue, their knowledge and courage are much worse, whether it is the Qin family or the Zuo family, telling them can only make them more troubled, it is better to discuss with Qin Jue.

The moonlight sprinkled on Qin Xuan's dark blue cloak, like a light veil on it, and his mood was also cheerful, yes, as long as he stood upright, the affairs of the Zuo family would not affect him, but Qin Jue was different, they were uncles and nephews who did not come out of the five suits, Qin Jue's affairs were his own affairs, and the fate of him and his two sons, and even hundreds of people in the second and third rooms, was actually tied to Qin Jue.

Zhong Lao'an of the third room is reasonable, the reason why the Qin family has been able to stand so far is not all because the children of the Qin family study well, nor because the Qin family can support each other in the court, but because the Qin family has unique insight and proper control every time there is a change of dynasty or a turbulent situation.

During the Gaozong period of the previous dynasty, because the little emperor's biological mother was a woman of different races, she was snubbed by the clan and the court, and the empress dowager even wanted to support her grandson, that is, the uncle of the little emperor. At that time, it was the Qin family who stood up to support the emperor's orthodoxy, and tried every means to make the empress dowager have to set up a woman with real power in her mother's family for the little emperor.

In this dynasty, Lie Gong resolutely followed Taizu to start an incident, so that the Qin family from the three Qin family to the capital of the famous family, Qin old lady Qin Ji in the Empress Dowager Dou when the government, the first to propose to the Shi, this move in exchange for the Tongde Emperor Zhao Ji after the pro-government of the Qin family.

These things have made the Qin family survive hundreds of years, and even if the dynasty changes, it will still prosper.

And this time, because of a decision made by Old Lady Qin back then, it was no longer possible for the Qin family to stay out of the matter, so it was better to be like their ancestors and resolutely overcome obstacles.

That night, Qin Xuan and Qin Jue talked in Songtao Xuan in the middle of the night, and simply stayed in Mingyuan Hall, and the next day the uncle and nephew walked out of Jiuzhi Hutong together and went to Yamen.

Although Qin Jue is the son of the sect, he is still young, and his prestige in the clan is far inferior to Qin Xuan. Now that Qin Hao has figured it out, the next thing doesn't need Qin Jue to do in person, but in ten days, several heads of the house have decided to send all the children under the age of fifteen to Anhui like the second room.

There were a few female relatives who were unwilling, these children were handed over to the long house, and they were no different from the hostages, but they had just quarreled a few words, and they remembered that Luo Jinyan was coming.

That day in Mingyuan Hall, their children were almost detained by Luo Jinyan, Changfang really wanted to take the children as hostages, even if he didn't go to Anhui, he would do what he said, Luo Jinyan was in Mingyuan Hall, under the noses of the elders, he dared to lock them up, what else did she dare not do?

Women still know women better, and the men of the Qin family think that Luo Jinyan is just a bluff, but the women think that Luo Jinyan can do anything.

In fact, they are right, Luo Jinyan thinks so, she may not kill women and children, but find a hidden place to lock them up for a year or two, wait for Zhao Yi to enter the capital, and then release them, there is nothing wrong with her.

She can do it, and she dares to do it.

Since Qin Jue didn't want to take care of the Zuo family's affairs, Qin Jue had nothing to taboo.

He sent a letter to Zhan Erpeng, asking Zhan Erpeng to just let it go, the Qin family has many in-laws, and he will not ruin his own court for one or two.

Because of the separation of the Cao Gang, half of the people and ships took refuge in Zhao Yi, and the few halls left in Jiangnan were used by the Cao Gang to settle down and preserve their strength.

Therefore, this branch of the Cao Gang in Jiangnan adheres to the purpose of self-preservation and is cautious.

In fact, there is no need for Qin Jue to tell Zhan Erpeng, and Zhan Erpeng will not let the twenty kinds of food be handed over to Zhao You.

He secretly put pressure on the Cao Gang to prevent them from interfering in this transaction, although the Cao Gang has fewer boats, but only twenty ships are nothing to them, and when they learned that there was a problem with these grains, they immediately gave the second master Zuo an answer, as he said when he resigned from other businesses, "The boat is not enough, so I don't take it."

The second master of the left never thought that it was easy for him to buy grain, but transporting grain had become a big problem.

He had already put down his identity to deal with these Jianghu people who were doing water business, but he didn't expect this group of rough billets to not give him face.

If it was someone else, he could still ask the parent official to come forward, but when did the Cao Gang put the parent official in his eyes?

But in two or three days, the second master of the left was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles. It's the ancestor's birthday again, and although he hides and covers the matter of buying food privately, he doesn't know what's going on, but it still reaches the Zuo family. There was no way, so he had to take out a sum of money to suppress this matter.

The matter was not done well, and the silver was lost, and the second master of the left only felt as if someone was working against him in this matter.

Fortunately, he hid the grain well, otherwise he would be targeted by someone, and it would be troublesome if something happened.

At this time, Zhan Erpeng received a letter from Qin Jue, Qin Jue said that this matter was not in a hurry, and he would find a way to give Zuo Er Master a sum of money, let him collect another twenty boats of grain, and then take these forty boats of grain, together with the people sent by Zhao You to pick it up.
