Chapter 285: A Letter from the Northwest
Old lady Qin's letter is very thick, first reported the safety of the family, although it is not easy on the road, large and small have also had a disease, but they all arrived safely, and now they have settled down in the northwest Liuying area, except for the old lady temporarily recuperating at home, being served by two small companions, the three masters all went out to find a job in exchange for silver to live.
Qin Bohong and they knew very well that reporting good news and not bad news would only make Mrs. Qin and them more cranky, so they didn't report all the good news, and they also reported the difficulties they experienced along the way, but they could survive it, and there was no big problem, and more importantly, they had to meet nobles to help, so even if they were sick, they had a few extra money to see the doctor buy medicine.
And when they arrived in the northwest, they also mentioned that the current residence is not very good, and the food is mostly coarse grains, and they all eat closely with the old lady and the two little ones first.
Then there is the matter of finding a living, and when they go there, in addition to the officials who have been exiled and distributed, there are also some prisoners who have committed serious crimes, but those who are serious offenders are also mostly sent by the government to do heavy work, such as mining, etc., so the work they are looking for will not be with the repeat offenders, unless they are willing to go there with a considerable amount of money, or they are transferred there.
Now all they can find are casual workers, because when they first arrive, they can only get familiar with it and then plot.
Then, they asked everyone in the family how they were doing, and mentioned Qin Liuxi, Qin Mingqing even named her to remember her kindness in saving the three Gu family, and the old lady Qin also praised her for being smart and clever and showing the demeanor of the eldest sister, and asked her to take care of the women and children in the family.
In the letter, the situation of their group was told in this way, and the people present had already wiped tears from their eyes just by listening to it.
After everyone finished speaking, there were a few brothers' small family letters, and the Wang family only left the long room, and gave the second and third rooms to the Xie family and the Gu family respectively.
Xie Shi didn't do anything, as soon as Gu opened the letter and saw Qin Boqing's handwriting, tears fell on the paper, for fear of pasting the paper, so he quickly wiped it again, but when he saw the sentence he wrote, you suffered, and the tears fell like beads with broken threads.
As for the Wang family, Qin Bohong's family letter is official, which is nothing more than taking care of her mother-in-law, raising children, taking care of housework, saying that she works hard and takes care of her body at the same time, and she only has hidden waves in her heart.
Only at the end of the letter did she see the handwriting of her own son Qin Mingyan that her nose began to sour, and then she saw him writing Mother, the child misses you, and the tears continued, she hurriedly turned her back, pressed the letter on her chest, took a deep breath, wiped away her tears before turning around and looking at Mrs. Qin.
"Mother, now that Father and the others have arrived safely and have a place to stay, this is easy to do. It's cold right now, so I'm going to put something and find a dart game to send over. ”
Old Lady Qin had already wet a handkerchief, nodded, and said, "That's the way it should be, you hurry up, it's cold over there, prepare more winter clothes to keep out the cold, you don't have to worry about what style, the most important thing is to be thick enough to keep warm." If you can, put up some herbs. They all report good news but not bad news, and this way has passed, the road is far away, and even if they suffer a cold, they can bear it. This old and young, it will definitely not be good to raise for a while, and the northwest is barren, so it is good to prepare more medicinal materials. ”
Wang nodded yes, and said to the two concubines: "If you have anything you want to take, you can also prepare it, such as a family letter or something." ”
"Sister-in-law, I have it." Gu Shi hurriedly said.
Old Lady Qin saw that they obviously couldn't sit still, so she said, "You all go down." ”
The concubines made a salute and were about to retreat, but the Wang family was left behind.
Old Mrs. Qin asked Mama Ding to take the box and handed it over: "Now the family wants to open a candied fruit shop, and I have to take care of some things for them, and I have to leave them a few silver to use in case of temporary needs." There's not much silver here, so take it all. ”
"Mother, I still have a little there, so you can keep it for yourself." Wang refused.
Old lady Qin said: "The Qin family is weak now, and I am an old lady dragging such a sick body, and I don't go out of the door, and I don't see anyone, and I have all arrangements for the use, what else do you want this body to do?" Definitely use it on the blade first. When you have a wide hand, you can save a few more things for me, and when I am old, just give them a thought. ”
Wang Shi saw that the wrinkles on her face had increased significantly and she looked more old, thinking of Qin Liuxi's words, she pursed her lips and said, "Mother, relax, everything will be fine." I'll take the money to use it first, and when the shop is open and I've earned the money, I'll give you this box back. ”
Old Lady Qin nodded with a smile, which made her retreat.
After Wang left, she took the family letter in front of her eyes and looked back and forth a few times, and the old tears were full of tears, and said, "I don't know if I can live to see them come back." ”
Mama Ding wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "You can relax, you will." ”
Old Lady Qin sighed and looked at the letter again.
When Wang returned to the courtyard, he found that Qin Liuxi was also there, so he smiled and said, "It's just right that you are also here, there is a letter from the northwest, and your father has also written a letter to the family, come and take a look." Aunt Wan, come and listen to it too. ”
Aunt Wan couldn't wait for it, her feet moved, and she looked at Qin Liuxi timidly.
Qin Liuxi glanced at her: "This German character, go back and copy it for me fifty times." ”
"Ahh
"A hundred times!"
"Fifty, I'm just yawning, not asking for mercy!" Aunt Wan is about to cry, why is it so hard for her to learn to read and write, she just wants to be a beautiful aunt with a straw bag?
Qin Liuxi snorted and walked to Wang's side.
Qin Mingchun glanced at her aunt sympathetically, pulled the hem of her clothes, and said, "Auntie, you have to fight for it, I will go to the school hall tomorrow, you write it well at home, and I will come back from school to check." ”
Aunt Wan: "! ”
Why is it not enough to have a demon daughter, but also a pit girl's son!
Qin Liuxi had already taken the Wang family's letter and read it at a glance, and quickly handed it to Qin Mingchun: "Read!" ”
Qin Mingchun hurriedly took it and began to read the letter, crying as he read it, and said to Wang: "Mother, I also miss my father and second brother." ”
"Then you can write a letter to them yourself."
"Hmm."
Qin Liuxi pursed his lips and looked at Aunt Wan, who looked loveless, still worried about his fifty German characters, and couldn't help but shake his head!
Wang said to Qin Liuxi: "Now that I have a foothold, I want to get some winter clothes and medicinal herbs and send them over." Xi'er, I don't ask for anything else, do you think you can give them a few flat talismans to wear? ”
Qin Liuxi was surprised: "Do you believe that thing is useful?" ”
"Asking God is just asking for peace of mind, and so am I." Wang smiled and said, "I believe your words." ”
Qin Liuxi's previous divination calculations were all accurate, so her talisman must also be useful, she can ignore other people, but son, she has to ask for one for him!
