Qin Quan's mind is on reading and the court, and he is not interested in the sound of dogs and horses, so there is only one wife Zhu in the house, and later because most of the officials in Beijing have three wives and four concubines, he is afraid that people will be discussed, so he reluctantly accepted one of Zhu's escort girls as a concubine, but Zuo is just a show, not very favored. In addition to Qin Mian and Qin Rong, a pair www.biquge.info of sisters, Qin Quan also has a son, who is also from the Zhu family, and is older than Qin Chun, called Qin Xiang.

Qin Lun came to the living room with everyone and sat down, looking at everyone one by one, only to see that Qin Xiang's nose looked like his uncle's stereotyped and straight, but his eyebrows revealed a smart energy, like the Zhu family. Qin Mian and Qin Rong are only four years old, with pointed chins, fair skin, and their body shape and facial features are all with Qin Quan, thin and delicate.

After a few words of greeting, Qin Quan shirked the affairs of the court and left the scene early. Qin Xiang also wanted to go to school, so he also went. Zhu took Qin Lun to Xinuan Pavilion, first asked her about the situation at home in Jiangzhou, Qin Lun answered them one by one, and then Zhu thanked Qin Lun for leaving his hometown and coming to Beijing for the Qin family this time, and as he spoke, Zhu couldn't help but roll down his tears and said: "It's all your uncle, who is not angry, I can't help but follow Lord Wang to mess around with some changes, and offend people in the court, but let you suffer at a young age." ”

Qin Lun saw Zhu's tears, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's all a family, what is my aunt talking about!"

Seeing that Qin Lun was so sensible, Zhu felt even more guilty, and saw that she was wearing regular clothes today, and only brought three girls over, so he asked: "You brought these three girls into Beijing, is it enough to summon them?" What is lacking in Beijing, just tell your aunt, as long as your aunt can do it, there is no other word." ”

Qin Lun wiped away his tears with a handkerchief and said, "Thank you for your kindness." Lianzhu and curly grass were brought by me from home, Song Xi was a girl rewarded by the six emperors' uncles, and a few little girls were left in the emperor's uncle's mansion and did not bring them, but they were enough. When other things came, my parents prepared a lot, and Uncle Liuhuang added a lot of them, so there was nothing missing for the time being. ”

Zhu nodded, looked down and saw that Qin Lun's handkerchief was a little old, so he hurriedly went to the treasury to get ten mulberry silks, and rewarded some things for Song Xi and others with Lianzhu curly grass, and saw that Qin Lun's bracelets and earrings were all jade, but the hairpin was Hetian jade, so he took the jade jade on his head and scratched his head for Qin Lun.

As he spoke, it was time for lunch, and Zhu pulled Qin Lun to the dining room: "Because I don't know what you like to eat, I asked the chef brought from Jiangzhou to make a table of Jiangnan dishes for you to taste." Have you been in the capital these days, are you still used to eating?"

Qin Lun said: "It's like this if you are not used to eating, but sometimes I still want to eat our rice." ”

Zhu said: "What's so difficult about this? A while ago, someone happened to come from Jiangzhou, bringing a cart of Su soft incense, or new rice, these **** ordered people to either steam rice or cook porridge, you just eat." ”

Qin Lun nodded and had lunch with the Zhu family.

After lunch, Zhu led Qin Lun to a cleaned side courtyard and settled her. Qin Lun said that he wanted to be close to Qin Mian and Qin Rong, and Zhu immediately ordered the nurse to pick it up.

Qin Lun saw that Qin Mian and Qin Rong looked exactly the same, and it was difficult to tell them apart, so he asked Zhu, "Which one is the sister? Which one is the younger sister?"

Zhu smiled: "Don't say you can't tell the difference, sometimes I can't tell which is which." You see that it is my sister Mian'er who has a quiet temperament, and it is my sister Rong'er who makes a lot of noise. Sometimes it's really hard to tell, Mian'er has a small black mole on her left leg and neck, and you can understand it when you pick it up and look at it. ”

Qin Lun carefully observed that it was indeed the case, and saw Qin Mian playing with a flannel ball in his hand, Qin Rong snatched it over, Qin Mian did not cry or make trouble, and watched quietly from the side.

Qin Lun's life Lianzhu took his own meeting courtesy, which was a pair of golden jade locks.

Qin Lun said: "I don't have anything good to give to my two sisters, this pair of jade locks is made by my father for more than two months by asking skilled craftsmen to build, and my grandmother asked the monk of Lingyin Temple to open the light, and my mother personally made two tassels to tie and give them to the two sisters to wear on weekdays to keep safe." This pair of jade locks was brought back by my father when he went to Yunnan, and the most rare thing about these two pieces of jade is that the luster is the same, and even the texture is the same. Auntie, please see—"

Saying that, Qin Lun took a piece of red cloth and held two exquisite jade locks to Zhu, Zhu looked at it carefully, and it was really an excellent thing, the jade was white and flawless, moist and shiny, like ice, two pieces of jade were inlaid on two pieces of gold, the gold pieces were forged into the shape of a lock, and the neck ring attached to the top was also gold, and the fineness of the gold was also excellent, and the most rare two things were almost exactly the same in terms of materials and workmanship, just like nature.

Zhu Shi excused himself and said, "How can I ask you for such a good thing? ”

"Auntie, don't shirk it, these two things are not just my mind, aunt, please see, the gold on the back of this lock is also engraved with the names of Qin Mian and Qin Rong. As he spoke, Qin Lun turned over the two jade locks and pointed them out to the Zhu family.

Zhu hurriedly ordered someone to get a diorama, and sure enough, the back of the two locks was engraved with the word "cotton" and the word "velvet".

In this way, the Zhu family no longer shirked, and the busy nurse immediately put on Qin Mian and Qin Rong, and the family was happy, talking and laughing until the evening.

After a few days in Qin's Mansion, Qin Lun was very comfortable, except for the daily dinner, his uncle was always full of sour words and nagging, chasing Qin Lun to say some nonsense about three outlines, five constants, three from four virtues. Qin Lun promised it on his face, and he didn't take it to heart at all, and the Zhu family behind his back also asked Qin Lun to take care of him.

Qin Lun saw that Qin Quan was so pedantic and conservative, but how he could mix with such a trendy and radical thing as changing the law, it was really incredible, so he quietly told Zhu his doubts during the tea break one afternoon.

Zhu said with a smile while peeling oranges: "Don't look at your uncle's sour words, he is actually an unassertive person, and his ears are soft, and when others praise him, he will go to heaven." I heard him say that the emperor likes to use the courtiers of the northern faction, and your uncle is considered to be from the southern faction, so he himself has been depressed for two or three years. Later, Prime Minister Lord Wang began to change the law, and none of the old ministers of the northern faction supported it, so he began to reuse the ministers of the southern faction, and because Lord Wang was the chief examiner of your uncle back then, and your uncle was also his protégé, he was quickly promoted. ”

After all, the Zhu family is a woman, and when he saw that he didn't know if he had said it clearly for a long time, he interrupted indiscriminately: "Don't ask me this, I don't seem to understand the affairs of this court, and I listen to your uncle come back to chatter." How many times have I told your uncle, as long as you can keep your official position, it is enough, and don't follow the matter of changing the law. But do you know what he told me?"

Zhu sold a pass, handed the orange to Qin Lun, Qin Lun broke a petal and put it in his mouth, Zhu couldn't help but smile and continued: "Your uncle said, the bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird!"

Zhu shook his head and imitated Qin Quan's tone vividly, Qin Lun couldn't help laughing, the orange juice was about to squirt out, and he forcibly covered his mouth with a handkerchief before swallowing it.

After laughing, Qin Lun thought to himself, this old saying says "Xiucai rebels, and he will not rebel for ten years", it can be seen that it still makes sense, if Lord Wang wants to change the law, it is not enough to rely on Wenchen like his uncle who can only die studying, even if it is temporarily instigated or beneficial, it is not a long-term solution. With his uncle's conservative personality, he is actually not interested in changing the law, to put it bluntly, he is not a person from the same as Lord Wang, and his uncle, like most scholars in the world, only desires fame. But what Lord Wang wants is not just fame, his uncle is the ambition of the bird.
