"Mother, you haven't answered my question yet!" Youran is almost tired of her mother's intimacy, and finally returns to the topic.

Mother Qin looked at the children in front of her, and then at Father Qin and the others who had already entered the house, and thought it would be better to talk to them. So he took his daughter's hand, glanced at his son gesturedly, and asked them to follow her to a small pavilion not far away for enjoying the scenery.

"Your great-grandfather had five sons and three daughters, three of whom were born to concubines, and the other two sons and three daughters were all concubines." After the mother and son came to the pavilion and sat down, Qin's mother began to introduce the Qin family's close relatives to the brother and sister, "Your grandfather is the eldest son, and the uncle who came today, his father is the second son, and a fifth grandfather is also a grandson. ”

"Mother, what about the character of these two grandfathers?" Seeing that her mother stopped at this, she couldn't help asking.

Mother Qin glanced up at the brother and sister, and patiently answered her daughter's question: "Your second grandfather has been pampered by your great-grandmother since he was a child, and he is not as strict as your grandfather, so he has developed a pampered and unlearned temperament."

"What about the fifth grandfather?" Leisurely tilted his little head, blinked a pair of big clear eyes and continued to ask.

"When the fifth grandfather was born, your great-grandmother had a blood collapse, and she went there when she couldn't be treated in time. Since then, your great-grandfather has recognized the child as an ominous man, and therefore your fifth grandfather has been very unpopular with his family since he was a child; Except for your grandfather and a concubine who grew up next to your great-grandmother. In other words, the fifth grandfather was brought up by your grandfather himself, and this character will more or less follow your grandfather. ”

At this time, Qin Haoran interjected and said leisurely: "Well, I remember that I saw the fifth grandfather when I was a child!" At that time, my grandfather was still alive, and the fifth grandfather often came back to visit my grandfather. ”

"Really? Where was I then? As soon as he asked a question, he suddenly thought of something, and then opened his eyes and asked with a look of shock: "Wouldn't it be that there was no me at that time?"

She was more than two years older than her brother, nearly three years old; It's very likely to be without her! Because she doesn't seem to have any impression of her grandfather.

"Hehe, there you are, you were in your mother's belly at that time." Qin Haoran teased amusedly.

"Huh? Mother, is it true? Leisurely turned her head to ask her mother for confirmation.

Qin Mu's eyes were full of smiles, and she nodded affirmatively, "Do you still want to listen?" ”

"If you want to ......" nodded leisurely and said with a smile: "Mother, you continue to speak."

Mother Qin smiled slightly, and continued to tell them about the Qin family, "In addition to these two grandfathers, there are also two grandfathers who are born out of the concubines, the third grandfather and the fourth grandfather, and they and the aunts and grandmothers of the two concubines are all from your great-grandfather's aunts. Originally, your great-grandfather had two aunts by his side, and one of them died within a few years after giving birth to a daughter because of his poor health. Your great-grandmother saw that her daughter was young and had no mother at a young age, so she raised her by her side. ”

"Oh~ Is it the aunt who is different from others and doesn't look down on the fifth grandfather?" Leisurely and clear.

"Well, yes! She's big up in the family, you have to call her aunt and grandmother, or aunt and grandmother, you know? Mother Qin gently stroked her leisurely hair, and did not forget to tell their brother and sister.

"Got it, mother." Qin Haoran and Youran nodded obediently in response.

"Mother, where are the rest of the grandfathers and aunts? Why haven't I seen them coming? Qin Haoran also asked the question in his heart.

"Since your great-grandfather died, the family has been divided. Since your grandfather is the eldest son, he inherited the family business in compliance, so he doesn't have to start a new business, and he has been living in the ancestral house."

"Is it the Qin Mansion of the Southern Imperial Mansion? Where did we live? Leisurely asked.

"Well, yes! It is the ancestral home of the Qin family, so if it wasn't for the situation at the beginning, your father wouldn't have mortgaged it out! Qin Mu said this, somewhat sad.

"Mother, don't worry, one day my brother and I will redeem it back." Leisurely grasped Qin's mother's hand and said to her with a serious expression.

"Yes, mother, you don't have to be too sad, You'er and I will work hard, you have to have faith in us!" Qin Haoran also comforted.

Mother Qin looked at the pair of filial children in front of her, and the sadness in her heart dissipated unconsciously, leaving only happiness and relief, "Well, my mother believes in you!" ”

Seeing that Qin's mother was in a good mood, she said with a smile: "Mother, you go on."

Mother Qin nodded and continued, "There are also two small mountain villas outside the city of Nanyufu, which were given to the second grandfather and the fifth grandfather as residences when the family was separated; The two grandfathers who came out of the concubine only received some property. ”

"And then?"

The fifth grandfather's family did not live in the villa he was assigned to, but moved to the county where the fifth grandmother's maiden home was located. Because the fifth grandmother is an only child at home, she is the only daughter in the family, and they moved there to take care of the elderly. Later, because the fifth grandfather was a scholar and had a good reputation, he opened a family academy not long after moving there, and it was very impressive. ”

"The fifth grandfather's knowledge is very good, and my enlightenment was taught by the fifth grandfather." Qin Haoran pursed his lips and said to Youran with a smile.

"Really? Did my brother start remembering at that time? "I was amazed.

"Hehe, Yan'er was very smart when she was a child, she learned to walk in more than eight months, and when she was two years old and spoke smartly, she began to learn to recite poetry." Qin Mu praised.

Youran was shocked, it turns out that her brother is so good that he has been cultivated since he was a child? Looking at this gentle and elegant temperament, in addition to being born, the cultivation of the acquired is also inseparable.

This is enough to show one thing, education should start from the baby!

"Brother, I adore you so much!" leisurely put on the star eyes and looked at Qin Yanran with a wink.

"Hehe, be serious, listen to my mother continue." Qin Haoran stretched out his hand and tapped her smooth head, and said helplessly and funny.

"What's wrong with it? It's not good to worship you? She pursed her lips slightly, complaining quietly.

Qin Xianran: "......" Don't think he didn't hear her muttering something there? ←_←

"Hehe, that mother continued!" Mother Qin smiled and waited for the children to finish interacting, every time at this time, she would feel very warm.

After receiving a nod from the brother and sister in response, Qin's mother continued the above topic and said, "The second grandfather's family later started a small business with the property left to them by their great-grandfather, and their lives are also good. Later, when your grandfather passed away, several grandfathers returned to the ancestral house to mourn, and for some reason they had a big quarrel, and after the funeral was over, there was no contact. ”

"What are you fighting about?" Leisurely wondering.

Mother Qin shook her head and said, "At that time, none of our women and Taoists were in the main hall, and as for why they quarreled, I really don't know too well."

"I seem to have a little impression...... Qin Yanran frowned and recalled slightly: "At that time, my grandfather passed away, I was very sad, and the fifth grandfather hugged and comforted me, so I was also in the main hall." I remember that it seems that the second grandfather was upset with the second uncle because his grandfather gave less property to the second uncle, so he was upset with the second uncle and wanted to ask his father for more. At that time, the fifth grandfather said that the ancestors of the Qin family had been divided like this for generations, and they quarreled because of this sentence. ”

"Second uncle?" You looked at him in surprise.

“…… Well! Qin Haoran only realized that something was wrong at this time.

Pondered leisurely for a while, then raised her eyes to look at her mother, "Mother, when you go in later, you will not know anything, if they want to live here, you can arrange for them well." Be sure to send someone to keep an eye on them, though. ”

"Okay." Qin Mu nodded cautiously in response, and then looked at Lan Niang, who was preparing refreshments on the side, and came back, so she stood up and said, "Then I'll go in first."

"You'er......" After Qin Yanran saw his mother enter, he turned his head to look at Youran and just wanted to ask, but was stopped by her eyes.

Then she stood up, gave him a look, and walked in the direction of his courtyard.

"You'er, what do you think?" After entering Qin Haoran's territory, he asked out loud.

"They're definitely here for a purpose." Sitting leisurely in the main hall, frowning and thinking.

"For what purpose?" Qin Haoran asked.

Leisurely raised his head, stretched out his index finger and said, "First, it may be that you came for our family's money."

Qin Yanran thought for a moment and nodded approvingly, "What about the second?" ”

He stretched out his middle finger again and said, "Second, it's for our baby."

"Baby?" Qin Xianran was puzzled, did they have any valuable treasures in their family?

"Brother, have you forgotten? The seeds of all the plants planted in the Zhuangzi were cultivated from home, and if they found the nursery and stole the newly cultivated seedlings, it would be a great fortune! "After all, there are many people selling these seedlings at high prices now, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to sell them at a good price.

"That's right!" Qin Haoran clapped his hands, "If these seedlings fall out, after they grow up, it will definitely affect our family's business." ”

Nodded leisurely, "It seems that we have to come up with a good way to put an end to this series of problems." ”

"What are you going to do?" Qin Haoran asked.

"I'll go back to the courtyard first to tidy up, and think about it together when Brother Sikong and the others come tomorrow." After leisurely speaking, he stood up and walked outside, and when he was halfway there, he turned around and said, "Brother, you put all the account books and other things in your study in a secret place, and it's best to get some fake accounts or something and put them there, just in case."

Qin Yanran nodded solemnly, "Okay, I know, you go and do your business!" ”

"Uh-huh!" After saying that, he left leisurely.

Qin Xianran stood there again and thought seriously for a while, and then shouted loudly: "Evening Thunder ......"

"Young Master." Evening Lei stepped in and saluted respectfully.

"You go and find Wan Li, Wan Ting, your father and your second uncle. Remember, be careful when you come so that you don't get seen by the two guests who are here today. Qin Yanran commanded.

"Yes!" Evening Lei was ordered to go down to find someone.

And Qin Yanran walked to the study, sat behind the desk, picked up an account book, picked up a pen, and began to write and draw on it.

For a moment, the study was quiet and could only hear the sound of the tip of the pen scratching on the paper.

In this way, about the time of tea, there was a knock on the door of the study from outside.

Qin Yanran's pen tip stopped, and he replied lightly: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and five men entered in turn from the outside; After the last person entered, he slowly closed the door of the study and carefully inserted the deadbolt from the inside.
