Chapter 132 Five Grandfathers
"This county is really another big county on a par with our Nancang County! Looking at the planning of this county, people feel comfortable when they see it. Walking on the main street of Feng County, Shang Moqi looked at the street scene with appreciation.
And the leisurely people who walked beside him all nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Ranran, wait a minute, you're going to visit relatives with You'er, when are you going to come back?" Shang Moqi suddenly thought of this, and asked.
Qin Yanran smiled and turned his head to look at him, and replied gently: "I don't know, why don't you and Ming Yi go shopping everywhere first?" I'll come back to you when Yu'er and I visit. β
"Hmm......" Shang Moqi thought about it and felt that this was feasible, so he nodded, "Okay!" Later, Mingyi and I will go to the most famous peony garden here, and then go to climb the Lianyun Mountain behind it, and you will go there to find us when you are done. β
"Okay." Qin Haoran agreed with a smile.
"Youran is going to visit this time, but this county's extremely famous Qin Yuheng Qin old master?" Sikong Mingyi has always kept a distance not far or close from Youran; After hearing the conversation between Qin Haoran and Shang Moqi, he slowly asked about the leisurely walking beside him.
"Huh? Do you know my fifth grandfather too? Leisurely turned to look at him in surprise.
Sikong Mingyi smiled faintly and replied, "I've heard a little."
"Hehe, I didn't expect my fifth grandfather to be so famous?" smiled leisurely and happily.
Shang Moqi was first surprised when Sikong Mingyi asked Youran, and then his face was full of admiration: "Ran, You'er, the relative you are going to visit today is Old Master Qin?"
"yes, what's wrong?" I looked at him leisurely for some reason.
"Old Master Qin, that's a famous celebrity in the entire prefecture of our Southern Imperial Mansion!" Shang Moqi's eyes lit up, and he began to count everything he knew with Youran, "He was admitted to Xiucai at the age of eleven and won the first place; Then at the age of fourteen, he was the youngest in high school. It's just that I don't know why he didn't go to the entrance examination in the end, but there were many masters who were optimistic about him at that time and regretted it! β
Youran and Qin Yanran glanced at each other, others didn't know the reason, but they knew more or less.
At that time, the leisurely great-grandfather was still alive, and among the children, the most unfavored was her fifth grandfather. At that time, the Qin family had always been a very prestigious merchant family in the Southern Imperial Mansion, and naturally regarded the way of doing business as much more important than anything else.
The fifth grandfather loved to read since he was a child, and he didn't know anything about those ways of doing business; And the leisurely great-grandfather is most disgusted with those weak scholars, and always thinks that they are poor and sour with fake Qinggao, so how could he let his son be the kind of person he dislikes the most? Even if this son is his least favorite, it can't be!
Therefore, the fifth grandfather was placed under house arrest and missed the time to take the exam; In the end, it was Grandpa Youran who came forward and persuaded him in every possible way to release the fifth grandfather.
"Oh...... That's what it looks like! Shang Moqi had a pity on his face, but it was only for a moment, and he resumed his previous worship: "However, although Old Master Qin is just a man, the Honghu Academy he opened is very famous in our place!" Over the years, almost every session of Xie Yuan has come out of Honghu Academy; I heard that there are many students from other prefectures who want to worship Old Master Qin as their husband! β
Speaking of this, I saw him put his hands together on his chest, and his eyes blinked at the two brothers and sisters, his expression was full of flattery: "Hehe~ Indulgent, You'er, can I have a small request?"
"What?" looked at him from top to bottom suspiciously, and couldn't understand where his flattery came from?
"Hehe, that's it...... I want to meet Old Master Qin, not much, just one side! Hey, is that okay? Shang Moqi was very doggy and discussed with them.
The corners of Youran's mouth twitched slightly, looking at his 'fan brother' appearance, I really don't understand why he, a businessman, admires her fifth grandfather so much?
"Okay, if you have a chance, I'll introduce you to you!" While he was still thinking about it, Qin Yanran had already nodded with a smile and agreed.
"Wow - I knew it was best for me!" As he spoke, he pounced on Qin Haoran.
Leisurely moved to Sikong Mingyi's side, just avoiding Shang Moqi's occasional convulsions. looked at the sturdy brother who was hugged by Shang Moqi, and smiled silently and very unkindly!
Hmph~ Who made him agree in such a timely manner, have they forgotten Shang Moqi's strange attributes? She really doesn't know what to say about her brother? Others are all wise by eating, but why can't he always remember?
The group talked and laughed, and then came to a fork in the road; Qin Yanran smiled at Shang Moqi and Sikong Mingyi and said, "We are going to take the road on the right to Honghu Academy......"
Sikong Mingyi nodded lightly, "Okay, let's go to the peony garden first." β
Qin Haoran nodded, and then walked towards the right with Youran and the Wanlei brothers and sisters.
Hung Bird Academy is located in the westernmost part of the lockdown city, built against a hill half the size of a small mountain; There is a small river at the front of the college, which is formed by the water of the stream left behind from the mountain.
"Surrounded by mountains and rivers, this is really a pleasant scenery!" Leisurely fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of me, I thought that studying in such a beautiful place would not be able to produce talents!
"Do you have anything to do with coming to Honghu Academy?" Guarding the gate of the academy was an elderly uncle, who saw them coming here in bright clothes, and respectfully came to the door to ask.
"This old man, my young master's young lady came from the Qin family in Nancang County, and came to visit the old man Qin, and he also bothered the old man to help spread the word." Wanxue received leisurely instructions, and stepped forward to explain their intentions to the old man.
"Oh good! Please wait a moment. β
"I'm tired."
After Wanxue saw the old man enter the academy, she walked back to Youran's side: "Miss, it's okay."
She nodded softly, signaling that she knew. Wanxue walked back to where she had stood and waited silently.
After a while, the old man came up to them with a woman and introduced him, "This is the eldest lady of my family."
The woman looked to be in her thirties, and her face was full of cute smiles, which made people look very kind. I saw her slowly walking to the front and asked the Youran brothers and sisters: "But are you from the Qin family of the Southern Imperial Mansion?"
Youran and Qin Yuran saluted her and responded, "Exactly, our grandfather is Qin Yuhang."
"Sure enough, hehe, please come inβ" Meng, that is, the eldest lady, happily stretched out his hand and invited them to enter Honghu Academy.
After entering, while leading the way for them in front, he introduced himself to them: "I am the wife of the eldest son of Old Master Qin, surnamed Meng. According to the seniority, it should be your aunt, and you can call me Aunt Meng or Aunt Meng in the future. β
"Auntie......" The leisurely brother and sister called with a very well-behaved smile.
"Alas!" Meng Shi's voice was crisp and immediately agreed, and then said with a smile: "Hehe~ I have long heard that the children of this family are humble and obedient, and when I see them today, they really live up to their reputation!"
The group walked through the front yard and walked towards the side courtyard, and Meng Shi introduced a place to them whenever he walked: "The front yard is the academy's school; The backyard is a place for the students who live here; And the side courtyard is where our family lives. β
Approaching the gate of the side courtyard, two women were ushered in on the opposite side, and I guessed in my heart, this should be the wife of the other two sons of the fifth grandfather, right?
Her fifth grandfather only has five grandmothers and one wife, and there has never been a concubine room or anything like that. The old couple had four children, three sons and one daughter, and they had heard from their father before they came.
"Sister-in-law, is it a junior from my family?" The second wife, Yao, is a woman with a hearty personality, and as soon as she saw them, she pulled her third brother and daughter-in-law and walked quickly here.
"yes!" Meng Shi smiled and nodded, and then turned his head to introduce the brothers and sisters to Youran: "This one in yellow clothes is your second aunt, Yao; The third aunt in blue clothes next to her, Wang. β
"I've seen two aunts." After the introduction of the Meng family, Youran and Qin Xianran saluted together.
"Hehe, hurry up, hurry up. It's all a family, there aren't so many rules, don't you say, three brothers and sisters? Yao said with a smile, and by the way, he stretched out his hand to signal that they didn't have to be polite.
Wang is the kind of woman who is as gentle as water, she stood quietly on the side, smiled slightly, and when Yao asked her, she nodded lightly and replied: "Well, coming here is like going to your own home, you don't have to be too restrained."
"Thank you, three aunts." You Ran likes these three ladies very much.
How so? It's just that it looks very eye-catching! She also saw the sincerity in their eyes, and she could see that they were really happy for their arrival.
"Okay, my mother is still waiting for us to reply! What's the matter, after entering the house, you are talking slowly? Meng Shi said with a smile, and then led them all and walked in the direction of the main courtyard.
"But from my own family?" As soon as I stepped into the door of the main courtyard, I saw an old woman walking out with the help of two maids, asking questions as she walked.
Meng, Yao, and Wang all greeted the old woman: "Yes, mother!"
When Youran and Qin Haoran heard this sentence of 'mother', they knew who this old woman was: "You'er (You'er) meets the fifth grandmother." The brother and sister knelt down at the same time and bowed to the old woman.
"Alas, well, well, get up quickly, the ground is dirty." The old woman came over with a smile on her face and helped them up: "Come and let me see, whose daughter is it?"
Youran and Qin Yuran stood up, looked up at the old woman in front of them, and let her look at her without changing their faces.
The old woman's eyes fell on Youran first, and after thinking about it, she had no impression of this girl; So he turned his gaze and moved his gaze from Youran to Qin Haoran.
"You...... You're the eldest son of the Huaihai family, right? The old woman was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile.
"Fifth Grandma still remembers me? My grandson was so delighted. Qin Haoran laughed softly.
"Hahaha, really! I haven't seen each other for years, but I didn't expect it to be so big! The old woman was delighted, and her voice was full of joy when she laughed.
"Well, this is ......" she turned her head to look at Youran.
"This is my sister, Yu'er." Qin Yanran said with a smile.
"Oh-I remember, it's the girl in your family who has been weak since she was a child?" The old woman looked suddenly enlightened, and then pulled over with a distressed face, touched her sideburns, and asked kindly, "Is your body better?" I've heard your father say that you were taken away by the Void Dao Master to recuperate your body, but now you're all right? β
nodded with a leisurely smile, "Fifth grandma, I've already calculated!" β
"That's good! Haha, today is really a good day......" The old woman smiled and ordered her daughters-in-law on the side, "The eldest daughter-in-law will order the kitchen to add a few more dishes at noon, and then give your father and them the wine, I think he will be happy to drink a few more glasses today." β
"Well, I see, mother." Meng replied with a smile.
"The second daughter-in-law will go to the front yard to inform your father-in-law and them in a while, and see if they can leave for a while."
"Well, I'll go." Yao nodded in agreement, then walked away with a smile.
"The third daughter-in-law, you go and send someone to inform the fourth girl, so that she can bring the children back for a meal at noon."
"Yes, mother."
"Haha, alright, let's not stand here; Let's go into the house with the fifth grandmother. After the old woman finished ordering everything, she happily took her leisurely hand, greeted Qin Haoran, and walked towards the main house.
