Four rooms.

Qin Yunqing, who had been on duty all day, had no time to be idle when he returned home, and went to the study after dinner.

When Qin Zining came to look for someone, only the fourth lady was in the main courtyard.

"Zi'er has seen the fourth aunt."

The fourth lady's expression was quite surprised when she saw her, "Zi'er, why are you here?" Or is this time coming? ”

Since Qin Zining passed out again last time, the family has a good understanding of her current physical condition, not only the old lady does not allow Qin Zining to go to the morning and dusk to settle the province, but other family members also treat Qin Zining as a porcelain doll to protect her.

I felt that this night was dewy and heavy, Qin Zining walked around outside, what should I do if I got cold?

For the caution of her family, Qin Zining was helpless and felt warm in her heart.

"Fourth aunt, I came to the fourth uncle to discuss something, what about the fourth uncle?"

Qin Zining whispered his intention.

As soon as the fourth lady heard that she was here to find Qin Yunqing, she smiled and said, "Your fourth uncle is busy with official business in the study, don't look at him returning home quite early, in fact, he has to be busy in the study until late every night." ”

Qin Zining heard that the fourth uncle was busy, and thought about whether to come back at another time.

The fourth lady reacted at this time, realizing that what she had just said was easy to misunderstand, so she hurriedly continued: "But! Your fourth uncle is also busy, sometimes he is reading books, if you have something, go directly to the study to find him, go, and the fourth aunt will accompany you. ”

The fourth lady didn't give Qin Zining time to react as she spoke, and took her directly to the study in the four-room courtyard.

The little maid in the study saw that the fourth lady was coming, and without saying a word, he directly helped her look at the door, and opened the door of the study with a report inside.

On the Qin family's side, there is no saying that the ladies of the house in other houses are not allowed to enter the study, and the ladies of each courtyard can go to the study to find their master.

Of course, not all ladies or not everyone can go to the study at will, it will be too messy, like the maids in the courtyard and the young ladies who are not yet ready to enter the study.

The maids and maids are not allowed to enter, because the heart of defense is indispensable, and no one can guarantee that their maids are strict and loyal.

It is inevitable that there will be some important things in the study, and it will always be troublesome if someone lets them outside.

As for the young ladies who are not in time, they are not allowed to enter, it is because they are afraid that they are still young, they don't understand court affairs, they know some things, they talk about it outside, and it will cause trouble if they are listened to by others.

Not everyone who is a father has a heart as big as Qin Yunsong, and he has brought Qin Zining like a boy since he was a child, and he has come to learn everything from military books and martial arts, and when he was only ten years old, he dared to let Qin Zining go to the battlefield.

Speaking of which, the Qin Mansion's upbringing of the younger generations is strict on the outside and strict on the inside, and it seems that there are not so many rules and regulations, but in fact, they use themselves as a frame to teach the younger generations to grow up.

The children in several rooms can more or less see their father and mother in them.

When the little guy reported it, Qin Yunqing already knew the news that Qin Zining was also coming.

So when the fourth lady and Qin Zining stepped into the study, he had already hidden the surprise on his face and began to wonder why Qin Zining came.

"Zi'er has seen the fourth uncle."

Qin Zining, as a junior, saluted as soon as she entered the door.

Qin Yunqing smiled and said, "Zi'er is here, this is the first time you have come to the fourth uncle's study!" Come, come and sit...... Madame, you sit too. ”

The fourth lady smiled and shook her head slightly, "Husband, there are still chores waiting for me to take care of in the courtyard, so I won't be here to accompany the two of you, you two will talk slowly." ”

Qin Zining deliberately came to the fourth room to find someone, no matter how stupid the fourth lady was, she could guess that there was something wrong with her, and where would she stay so blindfolded at this moment.

After the fourth lady left the study, Qin Yunqing looked at Qin Zining and asked, "Zi'er, I came to find the fourth uncle on purpose, is there something!" ”

Qin Zining smiled and nodded, "Yes, Fourth Uncle, I don't know if you can guess why Zi'er came?" ”

When Qin Yunqing heard this, he leaned back on the chair relaxed, with a confident look in his expression, "Since Zi'er wants to let the fourth uncle guess, then the fourth uncle will guess, Zi'er listen, the fourth uncle guessed correctly?"

You came to find the fourth uncle, you want to ask about the ministers of the court! ”

Qin Zining smiled and nodded, "No wonder my grandfather always said that the fourth uncle was the person who was most like him, and he had a flexible brain. I haven't said anything yet, but the fourth uncle has already guessed my intention. ”

"Hah...... Didn't your grandfather say that I was like him, because I was the only one of his four sons who was a civil servant like him?

He had no choice, but I could only say that I was most like him. ”

Qin Zining was amused by Qin Yunqing's words.

After laughing, Qin Yunqing said solemnly: "Zi'er, since you and your sister-in-law returned to Beijing and talked to me and your grandmother about the dead soldier in your grandfather's courtyard, I guessed that you would one day come to me to learn about the ministers of the court."

You haven't been here before, and I'm still wondering why didn't you come? ”

Qin Zining smiled slightly, "I wanted to come to find the fourth uncle earlier, but there are other more important things to deal with, so I came a little late."

Fourth uncle, Zi'er still doesn't understand, how did you guess that I would learn about the ministers of the court from you. ”

Qin Yunqing smiled and shook his head slightly, "If you really want to talk about it, it should be your grandmother who hinted at me."

After you told me about the dead soldier that day, your grandmother called me over the next day and explained to me in detail the people and things involved behind the matter.

Your grandmother said that it is the saint of the dynasty who wants the Qin family to be wiped out, and if you want to keep the Qin family, you must be inseparable from the support of civil and military officials.

If you want to know the ministers of the court, then your grandfather and I are the most suitable candidates.

Although your grandfather is the head of the hundred officials, you know his character very clearly, and you know that his side will not work.

In this case, you have no choice, you can only come to the fourth uncle, am I right? ”

Qin Zining shook his head slightly, "Fourth Uncle's words are not quite right, Fourth Uncle, you are not the one I can only choose when I have no choice."

My grandmother once told me that it was hard to be alone, and she said, knowing that I had a lot of considerations in my heart, and I couldn't say many things clearly, but I was never alone, and behind me stood my flesh and blood relatives.

I never thought that I could protect the Qin family on my own.

On his grandfather's side, it is impossible to hide it from him all the time, as the head of the family, he understands better than anyone that the future of the Qin family is not easy!

It's just that the time is not ripe to tell each other.

Fourth uncle, I have not been in Beijing for many years, and I don't know much about the ministers of the DPRK and China, so I can only come to you for advice in this regard, so you are not the person I chose when I didn't have to choose, but the person I had to choose.

Because you're my fourth uncle! The Qin family is also your home! ”
