Chapter 16: Birth
Yongning Hou Mansion.
Qin Zhi stepped out of the door.
The sun was fine at this time, and he subconsciously squinted.
After straightening the hem of the cuffs slightly, Qin Zhi took the reins from his hands.
"Guixianglou has prepared a private room, and several masters are almost here, just waiting for you." Follow the way.
Qin Zhi responded lightly.
Just as he was about to get on the horse, he heard a "second uncle".
Qin Zhi hurriedly turned around, looked left and right, and saw Qin Luan's figure under the stone lion.
"Ah Luan went out in the morning?" Qin Zhi laughed, "Why are only Qian Er and Ah Qing following you, Ah Fengren?" ”
Qin Luan said: "Brother went back first. ”
When Qin Zhi heard this, his brows furrowed: "How can this work?" You just returned to Beijing, and you are not familiar with the place, how can Ah Feng rest assured that you can let a girl's family go out like this, it's really unusual......"
Halfway through the chatter, Qin Zhi suddenly stopped talking and smiled at Qin Luan awkwardly: "Ah Luan, uncle doesn't mean anything else, the capital is your hometown, and you are not familiar with this, this, hey, uncle is stupid." ”
Qin Luan smiled and shook his head: "You're not wrong to say that. ”
Compared with Tianyiguan, the capital is indeed not familiar with Qin Luan, and even fewer are familiar with the ground.
Qin Luan responded like this, Qin Zhi didn't know what to say, he hesitated for a while, and held back a sentence: "It's okay to do anything, what you want to eat and what you want to buy, just tell your uncle, just open your mouth where you want to play, and your uncle will arrange it for you." ”
Qin Luan responded to it.
Seeing his niece enter the gate of the Hou Mansion, Qin Zhi withdrew his gaze.
Beside him, the horse that had been waiting for a long time was humming and panting, and Qin Zhi patted the horse's neck comfortingly, but did not turn over and get on the horse.
Thinking of Qin Luan, he felt uncomfortable.
"I'm not going today," Qin Zhi handed the reins to his relatives again, "let them hang my account, and they should all apologize." ”
After speaking, Qin Zhi strode back home with his hands behind his back.
After entering the mansion gate, bypassing the shadow wall, passing through the front yard, and passing through the second gate, Qin Zhi's footsteps stopped.
Going directly to the East Park is definitely not suitable.
Qin Zhi could only go back to the second courtyard.
Ji Shi was looking through the account book with Mama Wang, and when he saw Qin Zhi coming back, he couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't the master go out to meet friends?" ”
Qin Zhi sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and then said, "I met Ah Luan at the door." ”
"I heard that the big girl went out early in the morning." Ji didn't take it to heart, and responded casually.
"We are two uncles and nephews, and we are really angry when we speak," Qin Zhi sighed, "Two years ago, distant relatives from my mother's family passed by the capital to say hello, and I didn't feel awkward about my life. ”
When Ji Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Qin Zhi said again: "Madam, tell me, has the house treated Ah Luan too badly over the years?"
Although it is the life of the master, the fairy aunt also said so, but in the end, it is our own child, how can we be so estranged?
Ah Luan has been in the Taoist temple for a few years, and even the two mothers and daughters from the Zhongyi Bo Mansion next door have visited Ah Luan, but our own family has not gone to ......"
When Ji Shi heard this, he put down the account book in his hand and scolded Mama Wang.
Look, he's here again, sir!
This is not the first time I have said this, I mentioned it a few years ago, and the old man also gathered his bags with great interest and went to the mountains to see his niece.
Thanks to her timely discovery, she even stopped someone with a burden, so she didn't ask Qin Zhi to make the trip, and she didn't let the old marquis and the old lady know.
"I told the master a while ago," Ji was patient and explained the truth again, "The master is distressed about the eldest girl, and he is reluctant to let her suffer on the mountain, but it is fate."
Think about how the sister-in-law walked, and then think about the sick appearance of the eldest girl when she was a child!
You're going to visit, it's okay, and everything is fine, but if something happens, who will the master reason with?
hurt the rest of the family, the old lady beat you and scolded you to no avail, hurt the eldest girl, you are kind enough to do bad things!
At that time, you scolded God for giving the eldest girl such a life, and God ignored you! ”
Qin Zhi made a bitter face and didn't speak.
"In this house, there is no shortage of people who care for the eldest girl," Ji said again, "Is it that the uncle doesn't care about his daughter, or does the eldest son not care about his sister?" It's not that I stayed in the capital honestly, I didn't dare to go to the Taoist temple, and I didn't dare to write letters twice in three days. ”
"I know that what Madame said is a truth," Qin Zhi frowned, "I just think it's too much, Ah Luan is too angry with the family now." ”
Ji sighed.
Can you not give birth?
Since she was seriously ill and apprenticed, the eldest girl lived alone in the most remote east garden in the house, and had little contact with other people in the family.
When I went to the mountain, except for the letters for the New Year's holidays, it was as if there was no news.
The relationship between people is all dealt with.
Ji wanted to comfort Qin Zhi a few words, no matter what, the eldest girl has already returned to Beijing, this month, next month will be better than this month, and the next year will be better than this year......
Before he could exit, he asked Qin Yuan to rush first.
Qin Yuan stood behind the bookcase to practice calligraphy, just finished writing one, and put down the pen: "I think my father is right, obviously my sisters should be the most familiar, but my eldest sister and I are not familiar at all. ”
Ji's breath stalked in his throat.
She had forgotten that the little ancestor was also in the house.
Back then, when he said this to an adult in Qin Zhi, he must have been able to make sense, but it was impossible to communicate with a little baby who was younger than Qin Luan.
Open your mouth to find your sister, close your mouth to find your sister, the loss is that your little arms and legs can't run far, as long as the grandmothers look at it, they won't go to the East Garden.
Now that I'm grown up, I know the reason, I don't mention that nonsense on weekdays, and now the father rushes ahead, and the daughter also hurries to the battle.
"Don't get involved!" Ji glared at Qin Yuan, "When the eldest girl turns sixteen, it is not so taboo to be related or not, when you want to find her how to play, then how to play, now, little ancestor, you can do well!" ”
Qin Yuan pursed his lips dissatisfied.
Ji stopped her daughter and wanted to persuade her husband.
After all, it is not far from Qin Luan's sixteenth year old, and he has been here for so many years, so he is not in a hurry for a while.
Qin Yuan muttered: "When she is sixteen years old, the eldest sister will get married, and she is not without relatives." ”
Seeing that Qin Zhi was about to sigh again, the Ji clan helplessly nodded at Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan didn't continue to practice calligraphy, cleaned up, and was about to go out.
Ji Shi hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?" Done your homework? ”
Qin Yuan said: "Find the eldest sister to go to Fu." ”
When Ji Shi heard this, she hurriedly touched her purse, which contained the talisman paper drawn by Qin Luan, so she asked again, "What talisman do you want?" Keeping Peace? ”
Qin Yuan's grinning face was a grimace: "Guarantee me to draw the bow tomorrow, wear Yang in a hundred steps, and fight five at a time!" ”
Ji: ......
