Chapter 4 The Turmoil of Dropping Out
When he came to the main hall of Tian Hengzhai, Uncle Tian was sitting at the coffee table drinking tea, and when he saw Qin Hao coming in, he greeted him very enthusiastically to his side and personally poured him half a cup of tea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Hao picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, then untied the chain, put the two copper coins in front of Uncle Tian, and said respectfully: "Uncle, thanks to my uncle's help when I was sick, I came to pay off my debts today." ”
Two copper coins are nothing to Tian Hengshan, Uncle Tian didn't pay attention to it, seeing that the roots of Qin Hao's ears were a little red, he couldn't help leaning over and asking, "What's the matter with your ears?" Is Xiaoqian's girl bullying you again? ”
This is his grudge with Tian Xiaoqian, and he Qin Hao can't do the black thing behind his back, and when he saw Uncle Tian asking, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, when I went out, I accidentally bumped into it." ”
"Bang?"
Uncle Tian had some doubts in his heart, no matter how big his brain hole was, he could only think of hitting his forehead and the back of his head, and if he wanted to say that he hit the root of his ear, he really didn't have this scene in his mind.
Just when Qin Hao was talking to Uncle Tian, Tian Xiaoqian kept probing her head and hiding next to the pillar behind her, until Qin Hao said that she had hit it, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Regarding Tian Xiaoqian's small movements, although Uncle Tian saw it in his eyes, he pretended not to see it, but sighed secretly in his heart, although this Qin Hao was born poor, he was handsome, and his studies were among the best in Dengzhou Mansion.
In the Song Dynasty, an era of respecting literati, a talent like Qin Hao, who was the ideal son-in-law of many large families, why did he not look down on it in Tian Xiaoqian's eyes?
There is a marriage culture of choosing a son-in-law under the list in the Song Dynasty, that is, on the day of the list, the rich gentry from all over the country set out their families to compete to select the first scholar to be their son-in-law, and the scene is simply a robbery, so it is also called catching a son-in-law under the list.
Although Qin Hao's age is young, as a hegemon in Dengzhou Academy, he has long become the object of those rich gentry's hunting sons-in-law, in modern words, that is an absolute potential stock.
This is also an important reason why the Qin family obviously can't open the pot, as the pillar of the Qin family, Qin Zhonglin has no news, Qin Hao is sick, and the Qin Wang family can easily borrow a large amount of money.
Before Qin Zhonglin disappeared, he often came to Tianhengzhai to walk around, whether it was Uncle Tian or Tian Xiaoqian's biological father, they all intentionally or unintentionally expressed that they wanted to get married, but Qin Zhonglin was vague every time and did not explicitly agree.
Although Qin Hao is a treasure in the eyes of others, in Tian Xiaoqian's eyes, he is not as good as a grass, she extremely dislikes this weak scholar who only knows how to read stupidly and reads stupid books, and thinks that he does not have a bit of manhood in him.
Qin Hao didn't stay in Tianhengzhai for a long time, it was a bit pointless to stay here, especially Uncle Tian's eyes, the way the old man looked at his son-in-law always made him feel uncomfortable.
After Qin Hao left, Tian Xiaoqian mysteriously turned out from behind the pillar, attached to Uncle Tian's ear, and said mysteriously: "Uncle, from now on, you don't have to go to see Qin Hao, because I heard that he has dropped out of school this morning." ”
"Dropped out?" Uncle Tian's hand holding the teacup shook slightly, and his expression was extremely strange, obviously not believing what Tian Xiaoqian said.
Tian Xiaoqian grinned and said confidently: "Uncle, it's true, this news spread throughout Dengzhou Mansion as early as this morning. ”
Qin Hao dropped out of school, and Tian Xiaoqian became the happiest person instead.
Coming out of Tianheng Village, before he walked to the thatched house, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Qin Di, who was playing a spinning top in the yard dam, did not play a spinning top in the yard for the first time, and the old hens did not flutter all over the yard.
The thatched house was crowded with people, these people were Qin Hao's own family, and they all came to Xingshi to ask for sins after hearing that Qin Hao dropped out of school.
Old Qin was about seventy years old, with a gray beard, a particularly thin body, and his mental state was not particularly good, and he was facing Qin Wang's family, "I said Zhonglin Niangzi, why don't you discuss with us about such a big matter as Hao'er dropping out of school?" ”
"That's it, Zhonglin Lady, our Qin family hasn't had a single scholar for hundreds of years, see what you're doing?" One of the older members of the family also chimed in.
Old Qin waved his hand and motioned for everyone to listen to him, "Zhonglin lady, Zhonglin is not here, isn't there still a big family like us?" Although Hao'er spent a lot of money on Hao'er's illness this time, isn't everyone trying to figure out a way? ”
"That's it, this time Hao'er is sick, everyone is a strong contribution, and those who have money have to pay, no one has thought of asking you to pay it back?" As soon as Old Qin's words fell, another older family member also complained, with obvious reproach in his tone.
"Alas, Zhonglin Lady, although the old man is old, he still counts when he speaks, as long as you let Hao'er go back to school, we will not let you repay the debt this time, and Hao'er's education in the future, even if our Qin family is fully owned."
"Sister-in-law, you sold the house in order to see Hao'er, we haven't moved in until now, and we keep it for you, as long as you let Hao'er go back to school, you can move back now, and the money to buy the house should be used as Hao'er's tuition."
The people of the Qin family are all there, you say a word, and the Qin Wang family has no temper at all, and she is also extremely aggrieved in her heart, Qin Hao does not go to school, or these families only know about it.
But as a mother, no matter how big the grievances in her heart are, she can only carry them by herself, and even if there are great grievances, she can't say that Qin Hao made his own claims, and all of this can only be borne silently by herself.
Qin Hao stood behind the crowd, listening to the words of the Qin family, although they were all blaming their mothers, there was a warm current flowing in their hearts.
In the final analysis, these people are all for his good, or for the good of the Qin family, if the Qin family can really produce a jinshi or champion, then the Qin family will definitely become famous in this area, and the brand value will be immeasurable.
One person attained the Tao, immortal and chicken dog, although this is a bit ugly, but it is the truest portrayal of that era, which is also the reason why although the people of the Qin family are not rich, they still squeeze money out of their teeth for him to see a doctor and go to school.
As a hegemon in Dengzhou Mansion, Qin Hao is a kind of hope in the eyes of the family, and for this hope, everyone does not hesitate to eat bran with the Qin Wang family, in order to make the descendants of the Qin family no longer eat bran vegetables.
Family inheritance has always occupied an important position in Chinese culture, and it is deeply rooted in the blood and blood of every Chinese son, which is also the reason why the Qin family heard that Qin Hao was going to drop out of school, and they came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
Qin Hao didn't want his mother to be wronged, so he pulled away from the crowd and walked to the middle, and said very sincerely: "Grandpa, second grandfather, third aunt, you are all wrong to blame your mother, it was Hao'er's idea to drop out of school." ”
"What? What did you say? Old Qin Tou was so angry that his beard trembled, pointed at Qin Hao, and said tremblingly, "You little rabbit cub, when will it be your turn to call the shots for such a big matter?" ”
Qin Hao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Grandpa, second grandfather, third aunt, Hao'er knows that you are for my good, but I really don't want to study anymore, so don't force your mother anymore." ”
Getting a positive answer again, Old Qin Tou was so angry that he couldn't speak, his eyes were full of unspeakable despair, which deeply stimulated Qin Hao's heart.
