The next day, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo went to Chengenhou Mansion to meet Qin Jian.

Qin Jian seemed to have made up her mind about supporting Ling back to Jiangning after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Qin Hanzhen didn't want to persuade her much. He only said: "Then you have to comfort your sister-in-law and don't let her blame you. It's the first time to give birth to a child.

How wronged she is that her husband can't be by her side!"

Qin Jian couldn't help but show a guilty expression. He also felt very sorry for his wife, but he had no choice. Only this time was the best time for him to deal with the consequences of his grandfather's death. If he missed this time, he would not be able to deal with it in the future.

I wonder if I can have such a good opportunity.

He whispered: "I will come back as soon as possible. If I move faster, I might be able to return to Beijing before the year before."

Qin Hanzhen said disapprovingly: "Do you think things are going so smoothly? After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is only three and a half months before the New Year. The canal is suspended in the cold winter. If you want to travel, you have to use carriages and horses. Are you physically able to bear it?

It’s a question. Don’t tire yourself out in a hurry and catch a cold. Even if you get home, you will get seriously ill and make your family worry about you. You should just spend the New Year in your hometown and wait for the warmth of spring next year.

Come back when it's time to leave. I just think you're a bit ill-considered. If you had made up your mind earlier to help the spirit return to Jiangning during the mourning period, why didn't you say it earlier? If you can set off in June, there will be more than enough time.

Not like now..."

Qin Jian lowered his head in shame.

Zhao Mo smiled and smoothed things over and said: "That's all, I didn't expect it to happen earlier. I see that their family has lived in the capital for so many years, so I'm afraid they had no intention of returning the spirit to their place of origin. Burying them in the middle of the capital will make it easier to carry out funerals and sweeps in the future.

.It’s just that it’s right to decide to let the fallen leaves return to their roots now, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Although time is tight, as long as things are done well and the people who need to be comforted are also comforted, in the end the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages.”

He turned to look at Qin Jian: "When I went south to collect grain last year, I often dealt with people from the water transport yamen along the canal. I have already become familiar with him, and our friendship is quite good. I usually don't use this favor, but

As long as you need it, I will tell the people in the fleet and ask them to take care of themselves on the way. Even if the grain goes north and blocks the canal, we can still try to let our fleet go there first. The fight is from my palace, Suyang County Prince

The flag will not damage your reputation, but it will save a lot of time on the road. If you work harder and travel more, you might be able to reach Jiangning before October and get everything done as soon as possible.

, it may not be too late to go home for the New Year. Of course, if your body can’t bear it, don’t force it, just take care of yourself.”

Qin Jian was overjoyed and stood up to salute him: "Good Guanglu, you have really helped me a lot!"

Zhao Mo smiled and supported him, and said to him and Qin Hanzhen: "I didn't think of this before. Before I went out, I saw Agui coming over and mentioned to me a batch of urgent goods recently obtained by the caravan.

Come to think of it, I didn't have time to discuss it with Hanzhen."

Can Qin Hanzhen argue with him over this matter? He said: "This is a good thing. What Agui is in charge of is your private property. Anyway, the money will come to me in the end. How do you manage the property specifically?"

, I won’t interfere either. This time it’s my brother who benefits, and I feel even happier.”

Having said that, Qin Hanzhen still has some concerns: "My cousin's return to his hometown in Jiangning is not just to bury his great uncle and great uncle, right? Brother Mo also mentioned yesterday that my cousin also wanted to show his face more in front of the clan.

, so that the clan will remember your branch and interact with you more. Does my cousin have other things to do?"

Qin Jian smiled a little sarcastically: "Yes...I originally thought that after I became an official, I would become an official. Now that my uncle has become an official at home, my father and three uncles have to observe filial piety. My fourth and fifth uncles are all military officers, and I am the only civil servant.

, it would be too weak. I can’t always rely on my third uncle to support me. Because I want to support the spirit and return to my hometown, Uncle Kewen’s official position happens to be in the south. I am willing to go with me and return to my hometown to worship my ancestors.

Then I took my family with me to take office. I thought it would be good to have an elder to help and look after me on the way, so I agreed. Later I thought that there are many scholars in the Qin clan, and Uncle Kewen was the first elder to get an official position, and there was another one after him.

Uncle Karen who stayed in Beijing to study hard, and his uncle who returned to Jiangning to take over the family studies. These are just the clan members who went to Beijing to participate in the Enke Examination this year. What about those who did not come? If there are older candidates,

If you feel that there is no hope of becoming a Jinshi scholar and want to become an official, it would be a good idea for me to help with that. If there are young and motivated scholars who want to pass the examination, I, as a new Jinshi scholar, can provide some help. If anyone can go to Beijing and stay there

It would be even better to study in the residence of Marquis Chengen. I don’t dare to do everything for my third uncle, but my younger brothers also have to study. If there are so many classmates from the same clan, why not invite one or two learned old Confucians to come and sit at home?

, and it saves everyone from scattering around to study. As long as there are two or three more Jinshi and Juren among them, I will have help from now on, so I won't be lonely."

He had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and when he received the news that his brother-in-law Yu Jingming was about to be married to Princess Minshun, he made up his mind.

He is really too weak on his own. His older brothers don't seem to be capable of sharing his worries, and the younger ones don't see much of a future. Qin Bai, the third brother, is older.

, it is impossible to always protect the eldest brother, Qin Ping, and Qin An brothers are all in the military. Even if they get promoted in the future, they will not be able to help him. Brother-in-law Tang Han is better, but it is a pity that the Tang family has its own position, and Tang Han must

They also have their own ideas. The two cousins ​​of the Lu family agree, and they are closer to the Cai family.

Originally, his brother-in-law Yu Jingming was a good choice. He could also use the power of the Shoushan family of the Yue family to strengthen himself. However, when Yu Jingming was selected as the consort, the Shoushan family had no objections. On the contrary, he was happy to see the Yu family get out of power.

From the perspective that his children and grandchildren will have a more leisurely and stable future, Qin Jian feels that his father-in-law may not spend too much effort to support him.

Qin Jian looked down at himself and felt that it was necessary to find more arms. Since Qin Kewen could be born in the Qin clan, Qin Kelun also had great hope, not to mention that there were still many reading seeds in Jiangning clan school, so he

And why should he ignore these clan members? He is not like his late grandfather Qin Song, who looked down upon his clan members. Nor is he like his father Qin Zhonghai, who was said to have had some quarrels with his clan members when he returned to his hometown when he was young.

, and later on, his attitude towards making good friends with the clan members was relatively cold. Qin Jian had a relatively harmonious relationship with his old clan members, and he could use the power of the third family. Wouldn't it be stupid to push away the natural alliances in the clan?

Therefore, in addition to burying his grandparents and dealing with cuckoos, magpies and others, Qin Jian also planned to take advantage of the situation to make good friends with the clan members and persuade several uncles and brothers to go to Beijing to study in the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion.

If you want to accomplish this, it will definitely take time.

Qin Jian nodded and admitted, and Qin Hanzhen said: "Look, you still have a lot of things to do. Even if Brother Mo helps, you may not be able to come back in time. So, don't hesitate so much. The key is to get down to business.

It’s done. You have decided to take this long trip. The journey has been so hard. If you don’t do what you need to do, and you don’t come back to Beijing in time to welcome your child, and you are tired and sick at the same time, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?

?You should decide on your own as to the severity of the matter."

After Qin Hanzhen said that, he stood up and said without saying more: "I'm going to see my sister-in-law. I have to comfort her no matter what, and I'll accompany her to scold you for being such a careless person, cousin!"

Qin Jian reluctantly sent her third cousin off. When she turned around and saw Zhao Mo snickering, she couldn't help but feel dumbfounded: "You're laughing at me too."

Zhao Mo smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, Hanzhen's thoughts are always different from ordinary people. She also cares about you and your wife. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't bother to care about so many things!" After saying that, his expression straightened, "

Are you going to take those people away this time? What did your mother say?"

Qin Jian said sternly: "When my mother found out, she was very touched and repeatedly told me to rest assured. She would take good care of my wife and children for me, and she would never reveal a word to my father. As for the future, she only wanted to

An Xin was teasing her grandson at home and no longer wanted to meddle with other things. Someone from her predecessor's Yao family told her about the marriages of her nieces and nephews, but she did not want to say more on the grounds that there was a strong sense of filial piety in the family. I think my mother

This time, maybe I really know I was wrong and I won’t dare to cause trouble in the future.”

When she plotted to kill someone, Mrs. Yao probably acted out of anger. When the person died, she slowly came to realize that she was not regretful. When her son discovered the truth, she became even more frightened. However,

The precious son has always stood by her husband, but this time he chose to hide his father in order to protect her, which made Ms. Yao feel gratified and touched. Since her son is so filial, she will soon be able to have a grandson, and there is nothing needed at home.

The harm she was worried about was, why didn't she rest and recuperate earlier and live a few years of leisure? Since she wholeheartedly hopes for the good of her children, of course she cannot hold her son back at this time!

After Yao's enlightenment, he suddenly became much less troublesome. Qin Zhonghai actually felt strange, but with the help of his son, he thought it was because his wife fell ill from exhaustion after her parents' funeral and understood the importance of taking care of the body.

It would change so much, so I didn’t doubt that I would go somewhere else.

Zhao Mo then said to Qin Jian: "If your Majesty can be really smart, you will have less worries. You don't have to worry about your family. In addition to your parents, Han Zhen will also come to visit your wife from time to time. There is also the third bedroom,

I will always help you. As long as you finish what you need to do and don’t leave any trouble behind, it will be considered as if your trip was not in vain.”

Qin Jian solemnly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle things properly!"

Zhao Mo nodded and then chuckled: "To be honest, you are very kind and gentle towards those two daring girls. I thought you would be more cruel."

Qin Jian sighed: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but in the end I still couldn't make a move. I have never done anything that puts human lives in danger, and I don't want to take such a step seriously. As long as they know the appropriateness and act honestly according to my instructions

, I will not seriously drive them away." In the final analysis, although what they did was wrong, it was indeed beneficial to him, and his biological mother was even more involved. He was cruel to them, but he let them go.

If you kill your own mother, you are not avenging your ancestors, but just silencing them.

Zhao Mo smiled and patted Qin Jian's shoulder: "Don't think too much. This arrangement is actually not bad. If you really are a ruthless person, I will not rest assured that we will be friends with you like this. As long as you follow this principle

Just act according to your heart.”

After receiving the affirmation from his friend, Qin Jian smiled at Zhao Mo and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
