The moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Near the north-western border.

Qin Bohong and his entourage sat at the door of the firewood room, hugging their knees and looking up at the sky lanterns.

"It's the Autumn Festival."

During the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year, people are accustomed to putting sky lanterns to pray for blessings and wishes to express their worries.

They walked to the post station, saw the travelers of the post station, only to remember that it had arrived in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after settling down, they also exchanged the remaining silver for a few meat buns, and the right to celebrate the festival.

"Dad, I miss my mother." Qin Mingyan leaned on Qin Bohong's arms, and the father and son warmed each other.

Qin Bohong hugged him and said, "Dad knows, I've suffered you." ”

He touched the child's arm under the cotton clothes, he was so thin that he couldn't do it, and then looked at his side, it was also a dirty dust, and he couldn't help but pity it in his heart.

"Children are not bitter." Qin Mingyan hurriedly raised his head, saw his father's eyes, and lowered his head again: "It's just a little homesick." "Home, where do they have a home?

If the old mansion counts, it is also a home, but they don't know if there is a chance to go back.

Qin Mingmu, who was sitting not far from them, looked at the warm side of his uncle and cousin, and couldn't help but feel a little envy in his eyes, and then looked at Qin Boguang, who was half-closed on his side, and couldn't help but get a little closer.

Qin Boguang was startled, opened his eyes, and when he saw the eldest son, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Mingmu said: "If Dad is tired, why don't you go into the firewood room and sleep?" It's windy here. ”

Qin Boguang was a little tired, these days, several of them had to take care of the old man, they also had to take care of the two younger ones, and they also had to deal with the prisoners who were exiled together and eyed them.

Just before, they got thick cotton clothes to keep them warm, which attracted coveting them and wanted to rob them, and several people had to resist and do a fight, and now their faces are still swollen.

The high-intensity vigilance and fatigue also made Qin Boguang physically and mentally tired, but his father wanted to watch the sky lantern, so he would accompany him.

"Dad, big brother, there's a letter from home." Qin Boqing led a drawer of oil paper bags and a gourd, and with a thick letter in his hand, he ran quickly.

When everyone heard this, they all stood up.

"Daddy." Qin Bohong held the old man's hand.

"Go inside." The old man resisted his excitement and turned into the firewood room.

The firewood room is just a dead wind lamp illumination, which is still easy to say and begged for, and if you want to sleep, you have to blow it out, so as not to overturn the fire.

A group of six people entered the firewood room.

Qin Boqing put down the things in his hand first, and said, "Dad, I was outside just now, helping a team of merchants unload the goods, and they rewarded me with a pot of wine and a mention of moon cakes. ”

Qin Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, looking at the bag of things, seeing that Qin Boguang opened it, and the moon cakes with oil and fragrance appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but have hot eyes.

looked at the two grandsons, who were both swallowing saliva, and said: "Today's autumn festival, they are all divided into a piece, and our grandfather will also have a festival." ”

Qin Boguang smiled and broke the moon cake into two pieces, one and a half, opened the wine jug again, the aroma of wine spewed out, took a sip first, his eyes lit up, and said, "It's a burning knife." Dad, you also take a sip to warm your stomach and body first. ”

Qin Yuanshan took a sip and passed it to his eldest son, and said to Qin Boqing: "Let's see what the letter at home says?" ”

Qin Boqing couldn't wait for a long time, took a bite of the moon cake, put it on his lap, opened the letter, and began to read, reading and reading, his throat choked, and his hands trembled.

Seeing this, Qin Yuanshan was shocked, and he took it without thinking about it, and looked at it quickly.

"Dad, what did you say?" Qin Boguang leaned over.

Qin Yuanshan smiled and said, "It's good news." He handed the letter to Qin Bohong, pointed at Qin Boqing and said, "You said that you are a father, and you were shocked." ”

"Dad, I, I'm a father again, Gu gave birth to a pair of sons for me, and I have a son." Qin Boqing jumped up, scurrying around in the firewood room, shouting and laughing, suddenly squatting down again, and crying: "The child was born in July, not yet full-term or twins, she didn't mention it in the letter, I know it must be thrilling, it's useless for me, I don't even accompany their mothers, I can't stand her." ”

He held his head and slapped it vigorously.

Qin Mingmu hurriedly pulled his hand down and said, "Third uncle, you don't want to be like this, the third aunt gave birth to two little brothers, no matter how hard it is, it is the safety of the mother and son after all, it is worth being happy, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Qin Boqing raised his head, wiped his tears and snot, and said with a smile: "Happy, I'm happy in my heart." ”

Qin Bohong said with a smile: "Third brother, congratulations, a pair of twins, this is the great blessing of our Qin family." ”

Qin Boqing scratched his head excitedly again, and said: "By the way, Gu said, this is the eldest daughter of the eldest brother, Xi'er, who helped her give birth and saved their mother, eldest brother, how can Xi'er still be healed?" ”

Qin Bohong was also a little dazed, the eldest daughter left home at a young age, he can be said to be extremely unfamiliar, the affairs of the back house have always been managed by Mrs., he is in the officialdom, and naturally he doesn't know much about her, so he was a little surprised, and said: "I don't know much about it." ”

Qin Yuanshan said at this time: "It should be learned from Chiyuan Dao Elder." ”

Several people looked over and asked strangely, "Isn't that the Taoist chief?" Can you also be a doctor? ”

"Ten Dao Nine Doctors, Xuanmen Five Techniques, Medicine is one of them, he will not be unusual. When he took the girl away, he said that her life was strange, but she was a natural Xuanmen person. Qin Yuanshan remembered the past and said: "Actually, I don't hide it from you until now, back then, he also gave the Qin family a hexagram, saying that our family will have a catastrophe in ten years, and only the West Girl is a turning point." ”

The crowd was shocked, they had never heard of it.

"The matter of divination is too ethereal, even if I have an old relationship with him, I don't dare to believe it completely, at that time, the West Girl's body and bones are not good, and she will get sick from time to time, the old man Chi Yuan Dao came, and said those words, I simply asked him to take the West Girl back to the old house to raise." Qin Yuanshan said what happened back then, and then said: "Seeing that ten years have passed, but the so-called catastrophe has not arrived for a long time, I will assume that he has not calculated accurately, so as to relax his vigilance, who would have thought ...... Alas, it is a blessing and not a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. It's all me who has caused the Qin family, and you. ”

"Dad, what did you say?" Qin Bohong said: "There is nothing that is not involved, it is all the Qin family, one is prosperous, and one is lost, you must not say that." ”

"Yes, grandfather, fortunately, it is our men who are exiled, and the women can still go back to the old mansion and have a place to stay. Qin Mingmu also said a word at this time.

Qin Yuanshan was a little relieved, and said approvingly: "You are sensible." ”

Qin Mingmu was a little excited when he got the praise, and secretly clenched his fists.

Qin Yuanshan said again: "When the catastrophe of ten years came, our Qin family really collapsed, and the Gu family was frightened and prematurely born, and the partial birth was saved by the hand of the West Girl, and the old words were all answered." Now it's not what he said, the turning point of our Qin family lies in Xi'er, this girl! ”

Qin Mingyan took a small bite of the moon cake, and was a little surprised when he heard this, his eldest sister, if it was a turning point, it would be the lucky star of the Qin family, and I don't know how she looks and what her temperament is?

Qin Bohong said: "Dad, Xi'er is just a girl, saying that it is a turning point for our family, I'm afraid it's a little unsatisfactory, maybe the old man is coaxing you?" ”

"I wish he was coaxing me." Qin Yuanshan bit the moon cake, chewed it carefully, and said: "You see that our exile all the way, although it is bitter, compared to those people, it is smoother, and we have been helped by nobles three times and twice, as if someone in the dark has entrusted us." Who will it be, you say? ”

"Could it be our in-laws?" Qin Boguang said.

"If it was an in-law, it would have already been identified." Qin Yuanshan sighed: "I saw that I was in the northwest, but I didn't see that in-law and aunt appear, I'm afraid that they will also avoid suspicion." ”

Everyone was silent.

Qin Boguang gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It must be that demon concubine who is stirring up the wind and rain in the capital, and she wants to kill them all." ”

"Dick!" Qin Yuanshan scolded and said: "You have to be more restrained with this mouth, now we are down, if we ask someone to catch the handle again, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to get to the northwest, your father and I are just bad on one mouth...... cough"

Seeing that the old man was in a hurry, Qin Bohong immediately smoothed his back, and he didn't care so much, so he took a wine jug and gave him a drink.

Qin Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief and said dejectedly: "In short, from now on, we have to be cautious in our words and deeds, and in the future, if God opens his eyes, he will always return to the court." ”

He said it generously, but the few people below were a little hesitant, could it be so easy, even if the sins were forgiven, they would only be returned to their hometown, right?

Returning to the court, such a distant thing, but I didn't dare to think about it.

For a while, everyone was silent, and eating moon cakes was a little tasteless.

A separate courtyard in the inn.

A steward made a cup of tea for his grandfather and respectfully replied to everything.

"Master, I will be able to walk to Yangguan in a few days, then the Qin family and his party, after entering the customs, they have to find a place to live, I see that they are sick before and after, and they don't have much money, so we don't have to care?" Zhao Chang handed over the tea, then stood aside with his hands together, looking at the hook-nosed man in the seat.

If the Qin family was here, they would probably recognize that this was the previous post station, and they also had a relationship with this person.

Gong Bocheng, the president of the Dayan Chamber of Commerce, has business all over Datan, and even cooperates with the surrounding small countries, so he can be said to be the richest man in the entire Datan.

"She said that she didn't need to be well prepared, she didn't need it, she just saved her life, and when she got to Yangguan, she would see how they were." Gongbocheng took a sip of tea, his strict face was cold and hard, and said: "Go to Xinjingli, let Xue Ying take the lead, it's time to be promoted, you can't let one person dominate, the Montessori is in trouble, so I won't pay attention to the Qin family." ”

"Yes." Zhao Chang clenched his fists, thought about it and said, "Master, I'm afraid that the eldest lady is not holding a grudge against the Qin family, otherwise how could she only do it to this extent?" ”

"It's okay to hold grudges, and the Qin family doesn't have much affection for her. But I think she probably won't hold grudges, so she won't put her mind on these so-called hate-less things, it's too much trouble. Uncle Cheng played with the warm jade talisman in his hand and chuckled: "She just doesn't care." ”

Things that don't care, even people, can be discarded at any time.
