Snooping

Qin Hanzhen had doubts in his heart, thinking that he had nothing to do at the moment, so he simply stayed and chatted with Mr. Huang for a while.

Although Zhou Xiangnian felt inexplicable, he still took a step back very cooperatively and gave up his seat to the young master. However, he did not leave. Instead, he ordered a new cup of tea, refilled Mr. Huang's cup with hot water, and then left.

He stood aside and waited for orders.

Mr. Huang Er was a little nervous at first, but Qin Hanzhen was just a little girl, with a kind attitude and very polite to him, as if he didn't care about the difference in their identities at all, so he also

Gradually he calmed down, and he and Qin Hanzhen were able to chat normally.

Qin Hanzhen started the topic with today's Dongguan Street trip, mentioning the scenic spots in Yangzhou: "Today I accompanied my grandparents to go shopping on Dongguan Street for a day. The time was too short, and we did not dare to go far. But light

It was during this day that I felt my eyes were opened. Everyone said that Yang

Yangzhou is a very prosperous city, and it is well-deserved. Unfortunately, I can't stay and visit for a few more days this time. I hope I will have the opportunity to come in the future. But I don't know where other good places are in Yangzhou City? You are a local.

, it must be very clear, right? Can you tell me about it?"

Of course Mr. Huang Er wouldn't refuse, and he even started chatting, introducing her to places with beautiful scenery inside and outside Yangzhou. Slender West Lake was of course essential, and Daming Temple also had to be mentioned. There were also several gardens, some of which were

They are privately owned and generally cannot be entered by outsiders, but some are publicly rented. You can spend some money to rent them for a day, or

It is very common to use it to entertain guests or bring family members to enjoy the entertainment. The Huang family is considered a prosperous family in Yangzhou City. Although it is not as prominent as the direct descendants in the capital, it still has some reputation in the city. The second master Huang

He had been to several gardens, and he could tell which garden had its benefits, and he also disclosed the rent to Qin Hanzhen.

Qin Hanzhen followed his words and inquired about the situation of the Huang family.

At this time, Mr. Huang Er had completely relaxed. He chatted with the younger girl about household affairs with the attitude of a kind-hearted elder. He even called "Third Sister" open and closed. He didn't have the slightest bit of caution in his mind and just said it smoothly.

Got the truth.

He is the second eldest son of the Huang family in Yangzhou. The eldest son is also the eldest son of the Yangzhou family. He is the direct descendant of the capital, that is, the natal family of Mr. Huang, the first wife of the old Marquis. After the restoration of the direct descendant, he moved back to the capital. In addition to being sent to the capital every year,

People return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, and every few years they send their men back to burn incense and worship their ancestors, but rarely appear in Yangzhou city. The family members are basically responsible for the sacrificial matters within the clan.

Although the relationship between the direct branch and the second wife is not close, they have always been very kind to the clan members. If any of the clan members have promising children, they are also willing to provide assistance. A great nephew that Mr. Huang Er is optimistic about lived in the house of the direct branch when he went to Beijing to take the exam.

, and was once personally taken out by Huang Jincheng to meet people and develop contacts.

This is probably why Huang Jincheng and Mr. Huang Er, members of this family, are still familiar with each other.

Qin Hanzhen originally wanted to take the opportunity to find out what Huang Jincheng wanted to do by inviting him on board the ship. Unexpectedly, Mr. Huang Er insisted on this issue and refused to tell the truth. He only said that he wanted to follow Huang Jincheng.

When he takes office, he refuses to talk about what he will do when he takes office.

Mr. Huang is already in his fifties, even older than Qin Bai. Even if he follows Huang Jincheng, a junior, to Jinling, he will not be able to do much work as a staff follower. Qin Han really doesn't understand what he wants What to do. However, he refused to say more, and Qin Hanzhen didn't want to ask too much, so he changed the topic and asked another question: "So, Grandpa Huang Er, you will be separated from us after you arrive in Jinling." Huh? Because I am going back to my hometown in Jiangning with my grandparents, but Mr. Huang is going to Jinling City to take up his post. Doctor Shen is going back to visit relatives, and I don’t know where his relatives live."

Qin Hanzhen actually just made an insinuation, but he never thought that this sentence would really play a big role. Mr. Huang Er said this when he answered: "If I don't enter Jinling City first, I will follow you to Jiangning. I am in Jiangning There’s still business to do.”

Qin Han was really surprised: "So you are also going to Jiangning? Don't you go with Mr. Huang? Oh, how good is this? Why don't you bring an entourage? You are in a foreign land and there is no one to take care of you, Mr. Huang. You should at least send someone to accompany you." According to rumors, Huang Jincheng only had one guest on board, Mr. Huang Er.

Mr. Huang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, I have relatives and friends in Jiangning. My brother's family are all there." At this point, he told Qin Hanzhen frankly, "Actually, our Huang family is still the same as your Qin family. We are quite close. Not to mention that our old aunt married your great-grandfather as the first wife, my brother's daughter is now married into your Qin family's ancestral house. I heard that your clan now calls her Xiao Huang. She lived a good life in Jiangning, and she took my brother and his family over a few years ago to enjoy the blessings. I came here specifically to find them. Maybe I can meet you, the third sister, at the Qin family later. "

Qin Hanzhen was stunned for a moment. She really didn't know about this. The main reason was that the Qin clan members from Jiangning's hometown rarely appeared in the sight of the Qin family in the capital. At most, she heard that her great-grandfather and great-grandmother were buried in It was just her hometown, and after the Qin family was rehabilitated, the ancestral house had been renovated and it seemed that there was no room for three bedrooms anymore. Other than that, she knew almost nothing about Jiangning's clan members.

The Huang family actually married another daughter into the Qin family, and she was also the clan leader in charge of the family?

Qin Hanzhen made further inquiries and found out that Xiao Huang was marrying the second son of the Qin clan, not the eldest son.

He sounded like a particularly powerful person, and she was secretly relieved.

However, the Huang family is also a large family in Yangzhou, so it is strange that the second branch of the family would follow their married daughter to settle in another place where her husband's family is.

Qin Hanzhen wanted to ask again about the reason, but this time, Mr. Huang Er refused to say more, with an embarrassed expression on his face. With his attitude, he knew there was something wrong at first sight. Perhaps his brother's family left their hometown due to some reasons that were difficult to publicize.

Qin Hanzhen's eyes rolled a few times, and then he discussed the possibility of meeting Mr. Huang in Jiangning, and asked where his brother's family lived.

Mr. Huang Er didn't seem to want to answer this question. After all, it was not a secret. It was just a coincidence that Qin Jian and Zhao Mo came back after he had said half a sentence.

When Qin Jian and Zhao Mo came back, the entourage behind them was full of people, and it seemed that they had gained a lot. There was excitement and joy on their faces. When they saw Qin Hanzhen, they happily told her

, brought her a gift.

Qin Hanzhen came out of the deck, and Mr. Huang Er followed her, a little excited, but also a little embarrassed. He looked back and forth at the two young men of similar age, not sure which one was Qin Jian.

Zhou Xiangnian made a quick introduction on the side.

Qin Hanzhen also explained the identity of Mr. Huang Er to Qin Jian. Qin Jian had a confused look on his face, but he quickly calmed down his excited expression, showed the etiquette of a noble prince, and respectfully and elegantly greeted Mr. Huang Er.

Meeting ceremony.

Mr. Huang Er was quite at a loss and hurriedly supported him to prevent him from bowing down. He also praised him for his good looks and extraordinary demeanor, but his words were a little incoherent. Qin Jian's face flushed with his praise, but she became even more confused.

——Why did this elder come to see him so late at night?

Mr. Huang Er didn't say clearly what he was here for, so he left. Maybe he just came to meet Qin Jian, a distant relative. Before leaving, he said several times: "I have free time during the day, so I can remember a lot."

Let's go over there, I want to have a nice talk with you."

Qin Jian sent him off the boat with a humble and courteous smile, then turned around and asked Qin Hanzhen in confusion: "What on earth did this cousin come to see me for?"

Qin Hanzhen shook his head: "He won't say anything. If my cousin is really curious, go over and chat with him tomorrow, and maybe you'll find out. It's too late now. You're tired from shopping all day. How can you have time to entertain him?

?”

Qin Jian said, "We have already set off tomorrow, how can I go over and talk to him? I have to continue listening to my third uncle's lectures. That's all. When the ship docks and stops tomorrow night, I will go look for him again."

After saying that, he tilted his head again: "It's really strange. We have never had any contact with the Huang clan in Yangzhou, so why did my second cousin suddenly come to see me?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "That's not all. Just now I saw him waiting for you here alone. It was quite pitiful. I also advised him to go back first and wait for you to come back before visiting. But he actually refused and insisted on waiting for you.

Come back. Isn't he an elder? Why is he so polite to you?"

Qin Jian smiled: "I have many elders, but not everyone has the confidence to act like an elder in front of me."

After saying this, he changed the subject: "Today I sent the previous painting to be repaired. There are indeed many skilled craftsmen here in Yangzhou. My third uncle told me how those powerful framers were very skilled. I

I still don’t quite believe it, but I opened my eyes in that store today!” He added, “I bought a lot of good things for my sisters, and my third sister will come over to pick out a few pieces, and I’ll leave the rest to others.

Send him back to Beijing."

With such a good thing, Qin Han really couldn't miss it. She agreed abruptly, then looked at Zhao Mo with a smile: "Cousin Zhao, do you also have a gift for me?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "That's natural. It's just that there are too many things. I'll sort them out later and give them to you."

Qin Hanzhen happily let her two brothers go back to the cabin, while she went to see her grandparents. She told her grandfather everything she had just learned from Mr. Huang Er, and asked him: "

Is there anything weird in the Huang family? I feel that Mr. Huang’s treatment of his eldest cousin is not like an elder’s treatment of his junior, and his tone of voice reveals a guilty conscience. What does he have to be guilty of? "

Qin Bai pondered for a moment and then said to Qin Hanzhen: "I don't know about the other things, but his niece who married into the Qin family's ancestral house is not an easy person. Your second uncle Zhonghai once mentioned to me before that the Qin family's ancestral house in Jiangning, the direct descendant

The eldest son has been weak since childhood and has been ill for many years, making it difficult for him to take on the important responsibilities of the family. Therefore, most of the daily family affairs are taken care of by the second son. It can be seen that although Xiao Huang is the second daughter-in-law and does not have the title of clan wife,

But she is actually a wife of a clan. Her biological uncle would never be so polite in front of a junior like Brother Jian. This thing is really weird."
