Chapter 1030 Inquire
Wang Fulin, Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun stayed at the Yongjia Marquis Mansion for most of the day. They chatted happily, Qin Bai and Niu's husband and wife also listened happily, and Qin Ping, Qin An, Qin Hanzhen and Wu Shaoying were also very happy.
Huanxi. After dinner, Qin Bai and his wife will leave the three students to stay at home.
The three of them, Wang Fulin and Wang Fulin, discussed it and agreed. They were also happy to ask their teachers and senior brothers to give them advice on their homework. Although Wang Fuzhong could also give advice, he was busy with work and left early and came back late every day.
When dealing with official duties, how much free time do you have to read articles for the three officials? Naturally, it is more convenient than Qin Bai and Wu Shaoying. What's more, Wang Fuzhong's position is a bit sensitive as he stays with the emperor every day. Although he is not an examiner
, but it is true that there is really no chance of being exposed to the test questions. Instead of making people suspicious and talking, it would be better to let the younger brother, sister-in-law and junior brother avoid it together.
Wang Fulin told his brother that he would go back to the Wang family on New Year's Eve and wait until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year before returning to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion. He would not spend the Lantern Festival at his brother's house. Before the emperor set the exam questions, he had to avoid his brother.
Wang Fuzhong was relieved to entrust his younger brother to the teacher. For this reason, he even went to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion in disguise. He would report this matter to the emperor, so there was nothing to worry about. Qin Bai could actually see him in the palace from time to time.
He then said some words of encouragement and reminded him to take care of himself. The teacher and student said goodbye just now.
From then on, Wang Fulin and three other people lived in the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, and the Yongjia Marquis Mansion suddenly became a lot more lively. Not only did Qin Bai have students to accompany him every day to talk about books and papers, but Wu Shaoying also had a place to spend time, so he no longer had to worry about being raped by his wife.
Mr. Niu kept asking about getting a wife. Qin Ping would get one when he had free time. He was not good at poetry and writing, but he had served as an official abroad and was quite familiar with people's livelihood, economy and local government affairs. Even if
Just watching it occasionally on demand can benefit the three junior brothers who have not even taken the examination. Qin Jian and Lu Chuliang from the East Mansion, because the weather is too cold and their writing hands are stiff, they simply go there every day
Xifu came to watch Qin Bai teach his students. Qin Jian was also a candidate for the National Examination next spring, so he could consult with his three seniors.
Even Zhao Mo would come over to join in the fun when he had free time. Instead of learning more lessons, he would gain a lot of knowledge just by listening to the chats of the learned people in this room.
Qin An didn't have this patience. He didn't like reading much, and he was not as good as his brother in writing. On the other hand, Xiao Feng felt regretful and anxious at the same time. Her brother Feng Yuting had already said that he would come to Beijing, so why did he arrive?
At this time, there is still no trace? Could it be that something happened in the clan that hindered his feet? Although Feng Yuting did not plan to participate in the examination next spring, even if he came to Beijing, he would study in the Marquis Mansion, but if he could take advantage of the opportunity
With so many candidates here, when the father-in-law, Yongjia Marquis Qin Bai, generously taught everyone their homework, it would be better to learn more than to be the only one left. When you have questions, if you ask Qin Bai for advice, you may not be able to meet Qin Bai.
Bai is much better when he has time and patience to give guidance.
Little Feng was looking forward to the news of her younger brother's coming to Beijing every day, but unfortunately everything went counterproductive. It was not until the banquet was about to be held that a local businessman from the capital who went to the south of the Yangtze River to sell goods, was entrusted by Feng Yuting, and sent her a letter saying that the Taoist family
Something has happened that has hindered my schedule. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Beijing until after spring.
Little Feng was secretly angry, thinking that what she said was fine, her brother was obviously going to leave, but why did he write a letter a few months later saying that the trip could not be made? What on earth could be going on at home? Even such a big thing as going to Beijing to study, his brother would not care about it.
Not available?!
It was already the twelfth lunar month, and the canal had been frozen for a long time. There were no merchants who could help carry letters from home. She couldn't send her servants to deliver letters when the New Year was about to come. She could only suppress the matter for the time being and prepare for the banquet first.
Customer matters.
Qin Han really didn't know about the little episode that happened in the Feng family. At most, she muttered a few words in private, wondering why Feng Yuting, who had promised to go to Beijing long ago, was still missing?
, went back to his hometown to celebrate winning the national examination, and then Wang Fulin and the others, who had just gone to Beijing, arrived. Qin Ping, who had rushed back to the capital from Lingnan, had also returned home early. How come Feng Yuting, who had set off from Jinling and headed north, hadn't come yet? But this was Feng Yuting.
Qin Hanzhen only thinks about family matters and doesn't take them to heart.
The date of the banquet is getting closer and closer. Although her plan is very good, there is no shortage of money and manpower, and the helpers are capable, but in reality, it is impossible for everything to go as smoothly as planned, and this will happen more or less
Such a small change caused her some trouble, and she had to make some modifications to the original plan so that the entire banquet could be prepared smoothly.
While she was so busy, she suddenly received a message from Lian Rui, saying that Li Zi was asking for a meeting outside the second door, and she was a little surprised. She originally wanted to arrange another time, but Lian Rui said: "Brother Li Zi looks very anxious."
I don’t know what’s going on, girl, why don’t you go and see her?”
Are you anxious? Qin Hanzhen frowned and put down the inventory in his hand: "Then I'll go see you, Feng'er, help me reconcile the rest of the accounts. I'll sign when I come back later."
Feng'er responded and told Lian Rui: "Follow me, girl, and wait carefully." Lian Rui happily agreed.
Qin Hanzhen took Lian Rui and walked to the second gate. When he arrived at the second gate, Qin Ping came towards her. Seeing his daughter here, he smiled and asked, "Where are you going?" Qin Hanzhen replied with a smile:
"Li Zi wants to see me for something, I'll go see him."
"Li Zi?" Qin Ping stopped and thought for a moment, "That's all. After all, he is the person waiting in the outer courtyard. You are a big girl now. Don't stay alone with him for too long, and don't stay too long in the outer courtyard.
It's time. There are people coming and going in the outer courtyard these days, and there are also servants from other families here, so be careful not to be bumped into." Wang Fulin, Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun all watched Qin Hanzhen grow up since childhood.
, they were elders, so it didn’t matter, but it was a little inconvenient for them to have servants waiting around them. Qin Ping didn’t want too many people to see his daughter, so he gave a few more instructions.
Qin Hanzhen understood his intention and agreed with a smile. After leaving the second door, she did not go far, so she found an empty room to sit near the outer study, and then ordered Lianrui to pass the plums. In the outer study, here
Her grandfather, cousin, cousins, and uncles were all there at that time, and the servants didn't dare to approach easily. It was more convenient than anywhere else.
Li Zi came over quickly and saluted Qin Hanzhen.
He is now a twenty-five-year-old young man. He has broad shoulders and long legs, is tall and strong, and moves vigorously. Although he has no beard, his appearance is as handsome as before, and the temperament he exudes is different from that of his youth.
. He was left in Lingnan by Qin Hanzhen to assist Qin Ping in seizing the opium pills. He got more experience, and there was a faint military atmosphere in his actions. He was wearing casual clothes at the moment. If it weren't for someone who knew his identity, look at him.
When you describe him, you will only think of him as a young military attache. Who would believe that he is a servant of a wealthy family?
Because he completed the task assigned by Qin Hanzhen very well in the matter of clearing the opium collection and had great merit for his hard work, as soon as he returned to the capital, Qin Hanzhen generously rewarded him with one hundred taels of silver and gave him another
The big holiday allowed him to reunite with his family and enjoy a few more days of peace and happiness. A few years ago, Li Zi had made the decision to marry the daughter of a small merchant family under the control of his uncle He Xin, who was stationed in Jiangnan. Now he even has children
He had everything. Just because he had been serving Qin Hanzhen, his wife and children were also taken to the Marquis Mansion in the capital to settle down. In the previous trip to Lingnan, Qin Hanzhen had something to do for him, which affected him and his wife.
After being separated from his son for two years, he felt very sorry and specially arranged a small independent courtyard for him and his family to live in. After returning to Beijing, Li Zi handed over his errand and never entered the gate of the Marquis Mansion again.
They have been enjoying family happiness in their new home. He suddenly came here today, and Qin Hanzhen really didn't know what he wanted to do with him.
After Qin Hanzhen sat down and waited for him to meet Li briefly, he asked him directly: "What happened?"
Li Zi also knew Qin Hanzhen's habits, so he went straight to the point: "After returning to Beijing, I have been busy at home, and occasionally I go out to meet friends. Because I am doing well now, many people come here.
I'm looking for Xiao Tao to get close to me. Some time ago, an old acquaintance who I wasn't very familiar with came to look for Xiao Tao to get close to me. He asked me about some things, and it sounded like something was wrong. It was all about Mr. Wu."
Qin Hanzhen was stunned for a moment: "Cousin Wu? Who asked you about him?"
Li Zi said in confusion: "That person is an errand in the Huang family. When we were in Jiangnan, Master Huang's family often had contact with our family. The younger one occasionally interacted with the servants of the Huang family. We just got to know each other. It's not too big."
Familiar with me, I have been drinking in the same bar twice. I remember when I was young, this man was quite respectable in the Huang family. His wife heard that he once worked as an errand in the old lady’s courtyard, and later became the housekeeper next to Madam Huang.
Son, my daughter also became a big girl."
Huang Jincheng's family?
Qin Hanzhen was even more surprised: "What did that person ask you about your cousin?"
But Li Zi couldn't explain it clearly. Because when the man asked him for information, his words were very vague and cliche, talking about a hammer here and a stick here and there. At first, he didn't get suspicious and didn't pay much attention to it, but later he felt something was wrong.
The content of the inquiry was mainly about Wu Shaoying's current situation, such as how is her health? Is there any clue about the new appointment? Will she stay in Beijing or return to Jinling? I also asked Wu Shaoying, who is not young, whether he has denied marriage before? He has never been
Doesn’t the family have any objections to the marriage? Then he asked Wu Shaoying who else is in the family? What is the family business like? What do his parents do for a living? Do they have any brothers or sisters, etc.
Li Zi said to Qin Hanzhen: "That man looked for Xiao Xiao two or three times. At first, he only asked about some inconspicuous things. When he came back yesterday, he asked a lot more. After Xiao Xiao came home, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Why do you want to ask Mr. Wu carefully? He asked in such detail and refused to tell me clearly. Could it be that he has some plans that should not be mentioned in front of outsiders? I don’t dare to be careless, and I don’t know whether I should tell Mr. Wu directly.
, I had to come and report to the girl first."
Qin Hanzhen frowned and said, "I know, just go back and pretend you haven't mentioned this to me. If that person comes to you again to ask about Cousin Wu, just follow his lead and try the other way around."
Try to trick him and see what he wants to do by asking about these things? Is there someone behind the scenes who instigated him? "
Li Zi quickly agreed.
At this time, Qin Ping walked in from the door. Qin Hanzhen raised his head and saw him, with a look of surprise on his face, and stood up quickly: "Father?" Li Zi also saluted him hurriedly: "I have met you, sir."
Qin Ping waved his hand for his daughter to sit back, then turned to ask Li Zi: "Has the person you mentioned ever asked you about Uncle Wu before? What does he do in the Huang family? What you will know soon,
Tell me everything in detail."
