Chapter 874: The Road Ahead
Qin Huaiyuan took Brother Han over, shook him in his arms, and asked with a smile: "Do you remember the sentence that Grandphan's teaching?" ”
Brother Han thought about it and replied loudly: "Hang the people and cut down the crime, Zhou Fa Yin Tang, sit on the court and ask, hang the arch and flat." ”
Qin Huaiyuan nodded with a smile, and asked Brother Zhao in Xiao Xiao's arms: "What is the meaning of this sentence, can Brother Zhao still remember?" ”
Brother Zhao blinked his long eyelashes, pouted and shook his head, as if he felt ashamed, and simply buried his face in Xiao Xiao's arms.
Brother Han also wrinkled his little face: "Grandfather, that sentence is too long, Brother Han can't remember it." ”
Qin Yining looked at Zhile: "Father, have you started teaching them a thousand characters?" ”
"Hmm. They're all smart. ”
Knowing that he had been praised, Brother Han shook his head proudly.
Xiao Xiao looked at his little appearance, he could have wanted to persuade the words but did not come out, he thought that the child was too young at first, and he began to learn a thousand words before he could say all the words, which was too early. However, it is obvious that Qin Huaiyuan has taught well, and the two children are enjoying it.
He is a rough man, and his father-in-law is more experienced in this area, and it is very reassuring for the children to be taught by his father-in-law in the future.
The crowd went into the back room while talking. Lao Taijun, Zheng and Ma were sitting on the Luohan bed by the window talking, and the second old man and his wife, Qin Han and his wife were all there. Qin Huining and Miss Eight also sat in the other small circles and laughed in a low voice.
Qin Yining saw that the family was there, and he stepped forward in a happy mood to salute the old lady and the others.
Xiao Xiao put Brother Zhao down, and also saluted the old lady and the two grandmothers.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." The old lady smiled kindly, but her complexion was not as ruddy as in previous years.
After so many divisions, gatherings, gatherings and scattering, the old lady has long lost the heart to win in the past, plus she has been with Zheng and Ma all day in recent days, and she has also been influenced by these two people ideologically, and now her children are gathered around, which is already her greatest happiness.
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and handed Brother Zhao and Brother Han to the nurse, and asked them to take the children out for snacks first.
Mama Qin knew that Qin Huaiyuan had something serious to say, so she retreated to the door, motioned for the maids to retreat with him, and closed the door of the house, guarding outside to prevent people from approaching.
Qin Huaiyuan said: "Catch up with Zhixi and Sister Yi'er are back, our family is also complete, I have a decision, now say it, everyone will listen to it." ”
The second master and the third master glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think: Is this really the case.
Qin Huaiyuan has been back for half a month, although he still looks as peaceful and elegant as before, but as a brother, it can be seen that he is often preoccupied.
It was expected that there would be such a conversation, and the second master said, "If the eldest brother has something to say, just say it." ”
The old lady also said: "Meng Ge'er, what have you decided?" ”
Qin Huaiyuan sighed, and said with emotion: "This time I was able to survive, the process was really bumpy, I won't go into detail about the hardships, everyone can imagine it." I was walking in the desert, although there were people arranged by Sister Yi around me, but at that time, I was at a loss and couldn't tell the way I was coming and going......
"During these days, I have thought a lot and seen a lot. I have been working for the imperial court for most of my life, first Da Yan, then Da Zhou, but in the end, you have all seen what happened.
"Dayan's old colleagues still secretly scold me for treason, not to mention Da Zhou's colleagues, my 'death', there is no one to mourn, only one Ji Concubine, and it is completely in the face of my uncle."
Qin Huaiyuan stood up and pointed to the position under his feet.
"When the faint monarch and the demon queen were still alive, because of my relationship, the family suffered, Sister Yi was almost caught by the demon queen to eat meat, and the whole family also faced revenge, just on the land under our feet, how much blood of our Qin family was stained, and how many loyal servants of the Qin family were killed in vain."
The old lady held back her tears and said, "My twin little granddaughters, and my filial third daughter-in-law......"
When everyone heard this, their noses were sour. Thinking of the third wife who was killed to protect his son, the third old man choked up, and Qin Yu also wiped his tears with his sleeves, he has not renewed his strings so far, for the sake of his dead wife.
The tragedy of the Qin family, everyone knows the reason, when the men of the Sun family in the Dingguo Mansion were beheaded all over the house, and the women were used as official maids, Mrs. Zheng understood the anger and heart-wrenching pain of this kind of family ruin.
Zheng took the old lady's hand and patted it comfortingly, but he also shed tears.
Qin Huaiyuan shook his head: "I think I have a clear conscience, but now looking back, after most of my life, my family has also taken it." I don't want to do anything anymore. I don't want to leave a name in history. Today's fear of us has never been eliminated, and if we stay, I am afraid that we will become targets in the future. ”
His eyes became firm, and Qin Huaiyuan saluted the old lady and the family, "This time, Sister Yi'er's men rescued me, and in order to get rid of the pursuers, they directly took me to an oasis called Xiyue in the desert.
"At the beginning, Sister Yi and Zhixi laid a world there, I lived there for a while, and I have investigated it exactly, although it is closed, the folk customs are still simple, and it is not difficult to control and develop.
"So I want to tell you today that if we stay here, sooner or later we will become a constraint to Zhixi and Sister Yi'er in the future, and one day in the future, our lives will be held in the hands of the Son of Heaven. My second brother and my third brother are now unofficial and light, and we don't care about any posthumous names. Why don't we move our family to Xiyue and start over there? ”
Qin Huaiyuan looked at the Zheng family and the Ma family again, and saluted: "Mother-in-law, the old lady of the in-laws, my proposal is not only for the Qin family, but naturally also includes the palace and the Sun family. Today's situation, even if I don't go into details, everyone is aware of it. The Son of Heaven is jealous, there will be a war in the future, and those of us, if one is counted as one, we will definitely be involved.
"I'm already a dead person when I'm out there this time, and the spearhead will turn to you, instead of staying here and being afraid, why don't we go to the moon with a big family? This time I went to the setting moon, and I brought cloth, gold, silver, and grain seeds with me. And Sister Yi'er's subordinates can have a way to identify the direction in the desert, just see me go in and out, even if we go, we can't get out.
"When the time comes, stay away from right and wrong, and run that oasis well, which can not only protect the safety of our family, but also stay away from disputes and recuperate quietly, and will not become a drag on Zhixi and Sister Yi'er, don't worry about who will take us as hostages."
Qin Huaiyuan's words were extremely straightforward, so that all the women and children present could understand them.
Although the words were rough, the truth was something he had thought about and realized during this time.
"For the sake of the three of us, leaving this place of right and wrong is the most appropriate way. The setting moon is deep in the desert, and the desert is the best barrier. We can start all over again. Second brother, third brother, what do you think? What about my mother-in-law? ”
There was a dead silence in the room.
Everyone was frowning and pondering.
After a long time, the second master first said hoarsely: "I think what the eldest brother said makes sense, I agree." ”
The third master also sighed and nodded.
He is different from the second master, the second master does not work as an official and is idle at home, but only teaches his children and nephews to read. But the third master is in control of the economic lifeline of the Qin family, and he has a lot of business to do. Compared with the second master, the third master gave up more when he nodded.
Qin Huaiyuan nodded secretly, and then explained: "Third brother, don't worry, let's move our family, but it's not like we'll never come out again, your business can be taken care of by a safe person, and the accounts will be reconciled after a while, just for the specific arrangement, not to give up completely." ”
The third master nodded, "It would be more secure to be able to do this." I agree with that. ”
The three masters all nodded, and the children naturally couldn't disobey, the old lady didn't care where he went, as long as the family could be together safely, it would be good, and he naturally agreed.
Zheng thought for a while and said, "Our Sun family has a slight foundation in the south, but it's not difficult, I can temporarily hand over those connections to Sister Yi'er." It is the same in the careful disposal of the future when it is too peaceful. ”
Qin Huaiyuan said respectfully: "What my mother-in-law said is true. All of us can go, but Sister Yi'er and can't. ”
All eyes were on the two.
Xiao Xiao smiled sassyly, "Father-in-law doesn't have to worry, if all the people I care about can go to a safe place, then I will be able to do things more freely." It's just that Sister Yi'er ......" Xiao Xiao looked at Qin Yining with a little hesitation, "Sister Yi'er, why don't you follow your family to Xiyue." ”
Qin Yining was lowering his eyes and pondering, and suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, "Why?" I'm gone, leaving you alone? I was just thinking that when I left Beijing, it happened that Mu Gongzi left the corpses of the bandits all over the ground for the imperial court, and the whole family suddenly disappeared, just in time to push it onto the robbers. The saint was far away in the capital and could not see the scene with his own eyes, but this statement is still eighty percent credible.
"But I can't leave, if I go, it's very likely that the Holy One will get his mind, even if the Holy One doesn't notice, don't forget that you still have a 'troublemaker' locked up there."
Xiao Xiao's face was solemn, and he had to admit that Qin Yining's concerns were well-founded.
Tianjizi's target is their husband and wife, if Qin Yining stays, Tianjizi will not care where the Qin family and the people of the Xiao family have gone, but if Qin Yining also leaves, Tianjizi can't say whether he will pay attention to the desert.
The desert in the no-man's land can stop Li Qitian's soldiers and horses, but it can't stop Tianjizi.
Just as the owl can't go, Qin Yining can't go either.
Xiao Xiao sighed lightly and nodded helplessly.
Qin Huaiyuan also knew that they were in trouble, patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder, and said earnestly: "The matter has come to this, Zhixi, you should also calm down and quietly think about how to go in the future." In my opinion, it is better to retreat as soon as possible and stay away from strife. ”
