Chapter 304: Choosing an Apprentice

In the evening, Qin Xun went to say hello to the old lady, and the old lady asked about Qin Shaolai, and Qin Xun naturally said without concealment.

The old lady didn't say much, and then said, "I don't interfere in this matter, it's up to you to decide." ”

In fact, both the old lady and Qin Xun knew that this candidate would be the head of the Qin family in the future. And the old lady handed over this person to Qin Coriander to choose, the meaning was very obvious, that is, to tie Qin Coriander and the Qin family together.

Qin Xun has no relationship with the older generations of the Qin family, including the old lady. But if it is an apprentice she chooses herself, what about the children she brought up, it is naturally different.

In fact, Qin Xun never understood why the old lady valued herself so much, and she didn't think she was so good.

Qin Xun also asked the old lady, but the old lady smiled and said nothing, only saying that depending on the future creation, no one can say what will happen in the future.

This is not false, after all, Qin Coriander lives a lifetime, and he can't see what will happen in the transparent sky.

The third room sent three children over, it was brought by the three masters and the wife, the old lady doesn't like to make noise, and the rest of the people can't come into this courtyard casually.

The old lady sat at the top, Qin Xun stood beside her, several old ladies sat on both sides, and the three children stood obediently in a row.

The first child is Dafang's grandson, who is ten years old this year and is Qin Yaozong's second son.

The eldest lady explained with a smile: "His eldest brother is thirteen this year, and he is studying now, and his husband said that he may be able to be admitted to the Juren Jinshi in the future, so we discussed it and still didn't call him back." ”

Learn a craft, they can hand over their second grandson to Qin Xun, which is already good. The eldest grandson has to be educated, and if he can be an official in the imperial examination in the future, he will not be pressed by the four rooms.

Qin Xun nodded and asked him, "What's your name?" But come with me voluntarily? ”

The child nodded, opened his big round eyes, and pretended to be old-fashioned: "My nephew's name is Qin Yajun, I am ten years old this year, and my nephew voluntarily learned the craft of making incense from my aunt." ”

Qin Xun smiled and touched his head, then looked at the second child.

This is the eldest grandson of the second wife, the child named Pei'er, this child is seven years old, but he is a little active, even if he tries to stand well-behaved, his eyes keep moving left and right, and his fingers are constantly moving around.

Qin Xun also asked him if it was voluntary?

Pei Er blinked, tilted her head and asked, "If I follow you, can't I go home?" ”

The second wife's face changed greatly, but she heard Qin Xun smile and said, "I can go back, it's just that it will take a long, long time to come back." ”

Pei'er asked again: "Then can I play on the street?" Can I take my maid and my dog with me? ”

Qin Xun looked at him, smiled gently, and shook his head slowly: "Can't!" ”

Pei Er pursed her lips and looked at the second wife rather unhappily: "Grandmother, the grandson is reluctant to grandmother, and the grandson is unwilling!" ”

The second wife was about to speak, but when she heard the old lady cough, she suddenly didn't dare to speak, she only glared at her grandson fiercely, and Pei'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, but her mouth was still pursed to express her dissatisfaction.

Qin Xun raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the third child.

This child is the concubine of the third room, and he is nine years old this year.

The third room is an existence that does not have much sense of existence. They are not as good as the housekeepers of the big house, they are not as infinitely chasing power as the second room, and they are not as messy as the fourth room.

Now for Qin Xun to choose an apprentice, the big room and the second room have sent a son-in-law, but there is only a third room, and it is actually a concubine.

The child was a little timid, but he still stubbornly looked at Qin Xun.

The question Qin asked him was the same.

The child is articulate and answers clearly.

His name is Qin Yafeng, he is nine years old this year, and he said that he very much hopes to learn incense-making techniques from Qin Coriander.

The third lady explained at this time: "Old lady, it's not that we don't value this matter, but in fact, after thinking about it again, I still think that this child is more suitable." ”

After speaking, she took out a box from her body, which contained a few incense sticks, and asked the maid to light it for the old lady to smell, and lit another one for Qin Qian and the old ladies in several rooms.

"This incense, is it made by this child?" Qin Xun looked at the child with some surprise and asked the third wife again.

The third lady smiled gently: "Yes, although this child did not come out of my daughter-in-law's belly, but as soon as he was born, he has been following me, I know him best, this child is well-behaved and obedient, and also filial." What is especially rare is that he has a natural acumen and intuition for incense. ”

The big house and the second room both felt that there was no hope for their two families, and their faces suddenly became a little dark.

Qin Xun smiled, noncommittal, turned to the old lady and said, "I'm done asking, let them go back first, and I'll discuss it with the old lady?" ”

The old lady knew that Qin Xun should have made a decision, so she nodded and asked the people in each room to go back.

As soon as they got out of the hospital, several old men made an appointment to leave together, and the children were also taken back to school.

The second wife took the lead in attacking the third wife: "The third brother and sister are so scheming, they actually brought incense, who knows who made this incense?" Hum! ”

The third wife changed her kind eyebrows just now, and snorted coldly and counterattacked: "My child is excellent, and it's too late for you to envy." Instead of talking to me here, it is better to go back and discipline the child well. ”

The eldest lady claimed to be the housekeeper's wife and the eldest sister-in-law, so she stood up and said a few words, calming the two siblings who were tense, of course, everyone was also at odds with each other.

The third lady stretched out her hand to hold her sister-in-law's arm and asked affectionately, "Can our aunt really give the cheats to our children?" Also, the old lady gave our children directly, why do you want to get an outsider in the middle, I'm afraid it will be annoying in the future. ”

The second wife said on the side: "You were inside just now, why didn't you ask the old lady in person, but now you are talking behind your back, and you are really well-educated." ”

The third lady immediately raised her eyebrows, and was about to choke with the second wife, but the eldest lady was busy and said: "The old lady's decision, of course, has her reasons, don't question the old lady, just listen to the old lady's instructions." ”

The second wife pursed her lips and asked her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, it's good that Qin Xun wants to take the child to Qijiang County, and we can still see each other from time to time." But if she wants to take it to the capital, we won't be able to see it, is my sister-in-law really willing? ”

In the same way, the eldest lady also asked the eldest master in bed last night.

But the eldest man said: "This child will probably be the future head of the family, do you think you are willing?" ”

The eldest lady was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How is it possible?" Shouldn't the head of the family be the inheritor of the eldest house? ”

"Our Qin family is still stormy, and my mother and I both understand that we have not walked out of the haze of the past. Therefore, if you stick to the eldest house and the inheritance of the eldest son, instead of choosing a virtuous and capable person to lead the Qin family, the future of the Qin family is worrying. ”

If the family does not exist, how can we protect the children and grandchildren?

Therefore, Mrs. Qin smiled calmly, but kept silent.
