Chapter 124: The Smell of Mare's Milk
Today is the first day of return, for the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know whether it is joy or sorrow, but for the Qin family compound, it is definitely a happy event, Qin Zhonglin and Qin Zhongyi came back, saying that they would open an ancestral hall for everything.

As the person with the highest rank in the Qin family, the grand family sacrifice activity of opening the ancestral hall, the main thing is naturally the old Qin head, and at night, the burned pig's head is placed in front of the ancestor's spiritual seat, and the formal sacrificial activities begin.
Old Qin Tou knelt at the front, burning paper money, while telling the ancestors about Qin Hao, Qin Zhonglin and Qin Zhongyi, and prayed to the ancestors from time to time to bless the safety of future generations and the harmony of the family.
After the sacrificial activities, everyone gathered in the courtyard of the Qin family's compound, and there were nearly twenty tables of banquets in the courtyard, except for the chairman, the other seats were all seated by themselves, a table of eight people, until the seats were full.
The feeling of going home is good, smelling the smell of home and eating the rice of home, Qin Zhonglin and Qin Zhongyi couldn't bear it anymore, and tears flowed silently, especially in the past two years, the earth-shaking changes in the Qin family compound made them feel a lot of emotion.
The dishes on the table are very rich, there are chickens and ducks, fish and meat, this kind of thing that cannot be eaten during the New Year and festivals, has become their daily meal today.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is the old and young masters in the Qin family compound, everyone is wearing brand new clothes, the little daughters-in-law and the eldest girls are wearing flowery clothes, and even those bare-ass children are chewing in their mouths.
This change is too big, so big that Qin Zhonglin can't even imagine it, when they learned that all this came from Qin Hao, Qin Zhonglin couldn't hold back this time, and kicked him in the ass, "Stinky boy, there has been such a big change in the family, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Qin Hao touched his buttocks and smiled embarrassedly, "Isn't it just to let the family have food, clothing, and books to read?" These are trivial, nothing to show off! ”
Destroying Liangshan, Dingzhongjing, and the main covenant, with what Qin Hao is doing now, no one really thinks that his words are a joke, Qin Zhonglin looked at the high-spirited Qin Hao, but he was never happy in his heart.
Qin Hao knew that he was sad about his withdrawal from school, because in their hearts, only by studying and entering the profession are the best people, and this concept is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
It is very difficult to change a person's concept, but fortunately, Qin Hao didn't think about changing anyone's concept, and after dinner, he said cautiously: "Dad, third uncle, since Hao'er has joined the army, you can retire, and you can recuperate at home in the future!" ”
The Song Dynasty had regulations on soldiers, once recruited, they were with them for life, and Qin Zhonglin and Qin Zhongyi were both enlisted by peasants, which was the most helpless choice made when they could not survive in the famine years.
Their faces were tattooed, no matter where they went, they knew that they were soldiers, so it was basically impossible to be a deserter, Qin Zhongyi just smiled at Qin Hao's promise, this time, he really didn't believe Qin Hao.
Qin Zhonglin didn't say anything, he had been away from home for too long, and many things felt unfamiliar.
Believe it or not, Qin Hao didn't care, and continued what he said just now: "Dad, third uncle, the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather are old, and you will be in charge of the affairs of the family in the future, Hao'er will go to the capital in two days, and I can't take care of my family." ”
"To the capital?" Qin Wang felt a little strange and a little reluctant, "You've only been back for a few days, why do you want to leave again?" Hao'er, your father and your third uncle finally came back, and the family was finally reunited, so can't they stay for a few more days? ”
Qin Hao sighed softly and didn't speak, but Qin Zhonglin said with a solemn face: "The man is ambitious in all directions, Hao'er is doing big things now, we can't drag him back!" ”
Qin Zhongyi also nodded and said: "Destroy Liangshan and Dingzhongjing, Hao'er is indeed amazing, the third uncle admires it!" ”
Qin Zhonglin and Qin Zhongyi are both soldiers, although the status of the soldiers at that time was low, but the soldiers have their own responsibilities and pride of the soldiers, so they unconditionally support Qin Hao's choice.
Just said to Qin Hao that he was going to Bianliang, Tokyo, Yang Zaixing felt very strange, because at today's celebration banquet, Wang Shizhong made it clear that he would send the national letter to the saint, and Wang Huan would do it.
And they were willing to follow Ma Zheng to the Western Army, and he was sent off by the king, but he was unwilling to follow, so he stayed in the Qin family compound and waited for the emperor's reward, as for other things, they didn't need to interfere.
Although Wang Shizhong had the smell of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, Qin Hao didn't speak, and Yang Zaixing and the others took this matter as smoke and dust on the stove, and wiped it lightly, leaving no traces.
I thought that Qin Hao would stop there, but he didn't expect that after returning to the Qin family's compound, he clearly said that he was going to Bianliang, Tokyo, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Brother Qin, what do you say we are going to the capital for?" There's no fighting there? ”
In response to Yang Zaixing's question, Qin Hao did not answer immediately, but picked up the wine bowl, and after saluting everyone, he said: "Brother Yang, you also know the origin of our gang, although you and I are innocent, but Brother Zhang and they are all carrying murders. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his gaze to Zhang Yi and them, and then said, "So, you and I don't want this credit, but Brother Zhang and they must want it, we have worked hard to bring them out of Shamen Island, and we can't let them go back to Shamen Island!" ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Qin Zhonglin and Qin Zhongyi and continued, "Moreover, my father and third uncle, they are both people with military status, and if they want to be discharged from the army, it is not that they can retire if they retire." ”
The Qin family has a thin population, and all major affairs in the past were decided by Lao Qin Tou, but Lao Qin Tou is old, and it is indeed more than enough to let him preside over the Qin family's business.
Qin Zhonglin and Qin Zhongyi came back just in time, they are both people who have rolled in the barracks, and their own kung fu is not weak, plus Lin Datong and them, they can not only ensure the safety of the Qin family, but also carry forward the business of the Qin family.
Therefore, letting the two of them retire from the army and stay in the Qin family's compound was also part of his plan, Zhang Yi saw that Qin Hao thought about them everywhere, and neither treated them as prisoners, nor treated them as people.
I was also quite moved in my heart, and immediately took the others to stand up in unison, facing Qin Hao, clasping his fists with both hands, leaning forward, and saying in unison: "Childe thinks about us everywhere, even if we die, it will be difficult to repay Childe's kindness." ”
Qin Hao waved his hand disappreciatively, asked them to sit down again, and said disapprerovitously: "Since you call me a son, then your business is my Qin Hao's business, and it is my Qin Hao's responsibility to fight for your expediency." ”
Zhang Yi couldn't help but say worriedly after thanking him for his kindness: "But the prefect made it clear that he would not let us go to Beijing, if we go there rashly, I am afraid that there will be no way to submit the letter." ”
"No way to submit?"
Qin Hao suddenly sneered, "I've been telling stories in Penglai Pavilion for several months, and the small merchants and vendors in Penglai Pavilion, I can recognize them even if I close my eyes, but when I was eating in Penglai Pavilion today, I found that there were many strange vendors near Penglai Pavilion. ”
Yang Zaixing nodded and said: "I also noticed these people you mentioned, although they are wearing Hanfu, but there is a smell of mare's milk on their bodies, it stands to reason that Wang Shizhong once lived in Yandi, this flaw, he should have seen it earlier than us." ”
The corners of Qin Hao's mouth suddenly showed a sneering smile, "He has been an official for a long time, and all he sees in his eyes is fame and profit, where are these ordinary people?" ”
