Pian Pian didn't think much about receiving the letter from her second brother, she was simple-minded, and she was completely dizzy by the joy of meeting her second brother and sister-in-law. But Qing'er is not, he is more rational and his brain is clear, so the moment he saw Qu He, he realized that something was wrong.

This kind of inappropriateness is clearer when I read the letter again, and Qing'er can't help but think about it more.

The first thing he thought about was that his brother-in-law was acting too much in the officialdom, making too many enemies, and his sister was pregnant again, and he couldn't care about his sister, so he asked them to send Pian Pian over to help take care of him?

This speculation is not unfounded. After all, since he worshipped the deputy head of the academy as his teacher, although the master didn't care much about the government, most of the senior brothers were officials in the court. They will come to visit the master every once in a while, or they have a problem and need to be solved by the master, or they are confused and don't know how to play next.

The master and brother never shy away from him when he said these things, and because of this, in a short period of time, he went from a boy who could only listen in confusion and knew little about the officials and policies of the imperial court to a scholar who was not proficient, but could express some opinions on all matters and could be recognized by the master and the senior brother.

In other words, he is now in the study of officialdom, and he has also entered the ground.

It was precisely because he had listened to the master and brother that he had a little more understanding of his brother-in-law's movements in Hezhou.

My brother-in-law is not a pedantic person, nor is he a faint official who goes with the flow and will live in chaos. He has the talent, ability, and ambition, and naturally wants to show his talents in Hezhou.

But his big steps will inevitably touch the interests of the local powerful and powerful, and he will naturally be slandered by people with good intentions for this.

Let's not talk about it, just say that in the past month, the court has participated in the Hezhou Tongzhi disregarding the people's public opinion and collecting the people's fat and people's ointment.

This means that Emperor Yunwen has great trust in the character of Xu Erlang, a courtier, and does not think that he will act mischief once he is released, which can be regarded as an invisible support for his brother-in-law, otherwise, his brother-in-law's life in Hezhou will be even more difficult.

But even so, my brother-in-law's drastic reforms offended the local magnates, and I wanted to come to live with the people in the prefect's mansion.

Hezhou is a "poor and remote land", and the heroes there are really the local snakes. The brother-in-law doesn't give them face, and they won't make the brother-in-law feel better. Now I can only be glad that my brother-in-law has martial arts, otherwise it is a question of getting up early every day to go out and whether he can return home at night.

Thinking of this, Qing'er's face became more worried. If it was because his brother-in-law was "difficult to protect himself" and couldn't take care of his sister, he let Pian Pian go to Hezhou, then he could understand this reason.

Qing'er couldn't help but think that now is the time when his sister and brother-in-law need to hire people, otherwise he would also take half a year off with his master to help his sister and brother-in-law.

Qing'er thought about the feasibility of this question, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Quhe.

His heart moved, and he saw that there was no melancholy on Quhe's face, could it be that those were all his mediocre people just now?

In fact, his brother-in-law asked him to escort Pian Pian over, although there are also reasons for Pian Pian to take care of his sister, but the main purpose is to let Pian Pian see each other, not because he can't protect himself and can't care about his sister?

This is also possible, after all, Pianpian is not young, and it is indeed time to look at each other. After all, it is not good to write about each other in a letter, so this idea is also very suspicious.

Qing'er pondered for a while, and came up with several reasons why her brother-in-law asked him to send Pian Pian over as soon as possible, but this was all nonsense, although there was a basis, but it couldn't stand up to pondering.

Qing'er sighed and simply asked Qu He directly. Qu He had received Xu Erlang's gesture earlier, and hinted at Qing'er a few words.

However, only Xu Erlang and Dr. Li are now pregnant with Jinniang's third child, at most Changle knows about it, but the rest of them are completely unaware. So what Qu He knows is that Jin Niang is pregnant with twins.

As soon as he told Qing'er about this, Qing'er was surprised and delighted, and her heart went up and down.

My sister's repregnancy is indeed a happy event, but Hezhou is poor, cold, and still in a foreign country, and there are not many reliable people around my sister and brother-in-law to take care of, which is really unsettling.

It's time to send Pian Pian over, there is Pian Pian around her sister, in the end, it's a little reassuring.

Qing'er silently counted the days, knowing that her sister is now nearly five months pregnant, and she is a twin, so she must have a big belly now.

Is there still time to delay?

Qing'er hurriedly went to Chang'an Changping to talk about it, first, to let them have a psychological preparation, and second, to let them pack up. There are two days left before the final exams of the academy, and he has the heart to leave now, but the master will definitely not let him go. In this way, it is better to finish the test and set off directly when the time comes......

Qing'er thought so, her steps were a little faster, and when she saw that Chang'an Changping was going north to Hezhou, the two boys were suddenly overjoyed. However, Qing'er hid the news that her sister was pregnant with twins, and only said that her brother-in-law sent a letter to send Pian Pian over, and their brother accompanied her.

It doesn't matter why, as long as you get out of the way, Chang'an Changping will not follow.

The two boys were happy to conceive, patted their chests and said, "No problem." ”

Changping jumped three feet high, and shouted, "Little uncle, you can leave whenever you say." Hey, hey, I haven't seen my second uncle and aunt for a long time, but I miss them. Hey, hey, I'm not afraid to leave now, but I'm still going to prepare gifts for my aunt, second uncle, and Changle Xiaoyuer, which will have to delay a little time, so let's set off the day after tomorrow. ”

Chang'an also nodded, "The day after tomorrow." After the exam tomorrow, we will go back to the house, pack up a little things, and get up early the next day to leave. The second uncle arranged manpower for us, and we were not afraid of danger on the road. ”

The two boys were excited, and Qing'er laughed out loud when she saw this. He also had to go to the master to talk about the long trip - originally the master had said earlier that he would follow him to study in the academy during the summer vacation, and he thought that he would do it if he had nothing to do. But now that his brother-in-law needs him to run north, he is naturally obliged. But he was going to break his promise to the master, so he had to talk to the master.

Qing'er entered the courtyard of the deputy mountain chief, and there was a boy guarding outside, and when she saw Qing'er shouting affectionately, "Little Senior Brother", and then said, "There are guests at the master's place, and the little senior brother will wait for a while in the flower hall next to him before going over." ”

Tong'er was talking and leading Qing'er inside. Hearing Qing'er ask, "Which guest is here today?", the little boy smiled and said, "It's the master's family who is here." ”

Qing'er has been apprenticed for a few months, and she has not seen the master's family. It's not that the family is not filial to the master, it's just that the other party is also an official of the imperial court, and he can't always ask for leave to come and serve. It is only when the court is closed that he brings his family to accompany the master.

Coincidentally, the rest day of the imperial court always coincided with the holiday time of the academy. So he hasn't seen the master's family yet, which is a pity.

However, I heard that there was a cardamom girl's house coming today, and Qing'er's original intention of going to visit suddenly stopped.

This is also the reason why Tong'er asked him to go to the flower hall temporarily, after all, it is not good to rush in and bump into the little girl. And Senior Brother Yu's reputation is also flawed, which is not appropriate.

Qing'er waited for a cup of tea in the flower hall before she heard footsteps outside. At the same time, Xiao Tong Erxing hurriedly ran over and said, "Little brother, the master asked you to come over." Hurry up, don't keep the master waiting. ”

When Qing'er saw the master, the little old man was sitting on the rose-carved rosewood Taishi chair drinking tea with a pleasant expression. The skin on his old face was slightly wrinkled, but his breath was relaxed and pleasant, and it was obvious that seeing his children and grandchildren made the master feel very good.

When the master saw Qing'er coming in, he said, "Sit down." Fang is your senior brother and his family came to visit as a teacher, and you kid too, you should come out to meet people, why did you avoid going to the flower hall. ”

Qing'er bowed, "I heard that Tong'er said that there was a female dependent, and the disciples didn't dare to rush over and collide." ”

The old man waved his hand, "You are my closed disciple, that is my in-law and grandchildren, it stands to reason that you are also senior brothers, but you have never met." It's all a family, don't be taboo about these, the next time your senior brother comes back, you will come in and meet people. ”

Now it's not good to call the eldest family back and let the two sides recognize each other, it's too much of a toss.

The old man didn't care about this, so he skimmed over the matter and didn't mention it again. However, looking at the disciple like Zhilan Yushu in front of him, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind for some reason.

Qing'er almost forgot that his granddaughter is cardamom this year, and he is at the age of marriage......

The old man's face was suddenly happy, and he felt that if his granddaughter and Qing'er were a couple, it would be a marriage made in heaven. But soon the old man thought that the seniority was different, which was not appropriate.

The old man had some regret in his heart, but he only sighed, and put the matter in the back of his mind. He asked Qing'er why she came over, and Qing'er gave a general explanation of the matter.

The old man couldn't help but sigh regretfully when he heard this, "That's it, just go if you want to." Your eldest sister is pregnant, and she is in a foreign land, and she is comforted to see you, which is beneficial to the fetus. In addition, as the old saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and it is not a bad thing to take this opportunity to let the apprentices see the world. And then Xu Tongzhi is still a champion, and he can also point out one or two to Qing'er in terms of knowledge.

He is old and has lost the ambition of a young man, which Xu Erlang can make up for.

Thinking so, the old man granted Qing'er a leave of absence and agreed to let him go north. In addition, he also verbally promised him a few months of vacation, and if it was really inconvenient to return at that time, he could leave a period of time as appropriate.

Qing'er was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was also glad that the master was so considerate of him, so he solemnly made a gesture to show his gratitude to the teacher.

After saying this, I was inevitably asked by the master how I was studying in the past two days, but I didn't understand and had difficulties. Qing'er thought for a moment and said one by one, and the master patiently explained his doubts.

When these problems were solved, the old man took the test again. Qing'er answered a few questions repeatedly, and although some of the insights were a little lacking, he had learned this level very well at this age.

The old man nodded slightly, and then let Qing'er go back.
