However, no matter how attractive the bamboo sea is, Qin Hanzhen cannot go there for the time being. She has to wait for the arrival of her father Qin Ping.

Fortunately, Qin Ping didn't let her wait long. In less than ten days, her family reported to Jinling City. Qin Ping, Zi Geer, and Wu Shaoying had already left Zhenjiang for Jinling yesterday. Although the weather was hot now

A little, but the advantage is that there is no rain, which will not hinder the journey, so they should arrive in the evening, and they should be able to enter the city before the city gate closes.

Qin Bai, Niu and Qin Hanzhen were all very happy. The house had been cleaned several times, and the place where the uncle and nephew lived had been prepared. It was just that the small house in Confucius Temple was not big, so it was not necessarily

He could entertain so many people, so Zhao Mo volunteered and took some people to live in his house by Huaiqing Bridge, while Wu Shaoying was assigned to the outer study.

On this day, Qin Hanzhen and the others didn't go anywhere, they just gathered in the main courtyard and waited. In order to pass the time, Qin Bai simply gave the two children a Go lesson, but he himself was a little absent-minded. Qin Hanzhen

He and Zhao Mo were also a little absent-minded, looking out the door from time to time. Not to mention the efficiency of teaching, even lunch was not delicious.

Fortunately, Qin Ping, Wu Shaoying and his entourage arrived before the city gate closed in the evening. Looking at his son, grandson and students who were tired of the journey, Qin Bai was very excited, and his usually calm eyes could not help but feel a little wet. He

He hugged his son, patted the student's shoulder, and then touched his grandson's head. He tried his best to calm down, and then smiled and said: "Go and freshen up quickly. After you freshen up, go to the room for dinner. Brother Ping's mother has already prepared the meal.

Yes, it’s all what you like to eat.”

Mrs. Niu was holding her grandson in one hand and holding her son's hand in the other. After hearing this, she reluctantly let them go, and then asked Aunt Hu to watch Brother Zi wash up in person. If it were anyone else, she would not be at ease. She

Looking at the little grandson, although he has grown a lot taller and can speak more clearly, he has really lost weight. It seems that the journey of thousands of miles south is still very hard, not to mention that the grandson has always been frail. Thinking of it

Here, she complained a little about her son. Why did she bring her grandson to the south first and then report it? But when she thought about her son leaving Beijing to go to work, there really was no adult in the family who could take care of his grandson. She couldn't do it without him, so she put aside that complaint.

Went on.

Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying looked at each other and smiled, saluted Qin Bai and Niu together, and then left. Now that they are home, they don't have to worry about Brother Zi, someone will take care of it.

Qin Hanzhen had been wandering around her father and cousin since she had just met them. When she saw them going to wash up, she stopped and sat in the main room waiting. But she couldn't sit still and caught a glimpse of Aunt Hu giving Brother Zi

After my son had taken a bath, he went over to help Grandma Hu change clothes for her little cousin.

Brother Zi was wearing a set of linen white cloth clothes. Although the workmanship was good, the material was rough and a little abrasive to the skin, which was not suitable for children with delicate skin. Aunt Tiger frowned when she saw it and asked.

Did Xia He, who came to wait on me, have any other clothes to change into? Xia He opened his bag and showed it to Aunt Hu. Most of the new summer clothes that Brother Zi made this year are the same clothes. Although there are two pairs of cheesecloth, the colors are the same.

It's gray-white or gray-blue.

When Qin Hanzhen saw it, he remembered it. He's family was recently mourned. Although she was a married woman, she was also Zi Ge'er's biological mother. Zi Ge'er should serve her for one year. She originally had to carry the mourning stick, but

He was still a child and was on a journey, so he didn't need to worry about this. Fortunately, he was following the official Qin Ping when he went south, and he hired boats, carriages and horses. Otherwise, it would still be a problem for Dai Xiao's people to stay in hotels.

The two clothes of coarse cotton cloth looked a little lighter in mourning color, so they were probably used to deceive outsiders.

She thought for a while and asked Aunt Hu to take out the gray-blue cotton cloth and give it to Brother Zi to change into. The family had been away for more than half a year and finally reunited for dinner. Why bother asking Brother Zi to show up with Dai Xiao and call him

Do you think of that unpleasant dead man named He?

Brother Zi obediently allowed Aunt Tiger to manipulate him, put on the cloth clothes, looked up at Qin Hanzhen, blinked, his eyes were clear and bright.

Qin Han really saw how well-behaved he was, and remembered that he was also a pitiful person. He did not treat this child well during his lifetime, but only used him to consolidate his position in the Qin family. Even if he was bullied by Sister Zhang, he would always favor his daughter. If not

Qin Bai, he didn't even have the chance to study seriously. Qin Han really thought about it and felt that there was no need to vent his anger on the child, so he smiled, reached out and pinched Brother Zi's little face, and said to him

Made a face.

Aunt Hu laughed and scolded: "Sister, please don't be too harsh. My face is tender. If you leave a mark, my wife will be distressed later." She put socks on Brother Zi again and saw the shoes that Xia He had given her.

It was also made of burlap, so he frowned and said, "How does this color match the clothes? Are there no other shoes? The master and his wife have only been away from home for a few months? You are so lazy that you don't give me anything.

Make more clothes and shoes!”

Xia He quickly said that she does needlework every day and has never been lazy. Brother Zi has a lot of clothes and shoes, but some of them were left in the capital and have not been brought over, and the ones he brought are still stored in the box and have not been taken out.

Aunt Hu said, "Since you brought it, let's take it. If you don't understand, I'll go pick it up with you." Xia He felt aggrieved, why didn't she understand? After all, she served Brother Zi.

It took several years. But she was an honest person, so she obediently led her to rummage through the suitcase after Aunt Tiger ordered her.

Only two siblings, Qin Hanzhen and Zi Geer, were left in the back room.

Qin Hanzhen was still a little hesitant, wondering if what Aunt Hu had just said was implying something? What does it mean to send Xia He away now? Was it a hint that she could pinch Brother Zi when no one was around?

Is it enough to vent his anger on his face as long as he doesn't leave any marks? Qin Han is really not sure.

However, Brother Zi stretched out his hand eagerly, carefully pinched her sleeves, and said softly: "Sister, I'm sorry..."

Qin Hanzhen came back to his senses: "Why did you tell me you were sorry? What did you do to make me sorry?"

Brother Zi sniffed and whispered: "My mother harmed your mother, my eldest sister harmed you... I feel sorry for you and my aunt. I already know that it is wrong for them to harm others! Now my mother

He is dead, I don’t know where my eldest sister has gone, and I can no longer atone for my sins. Can I atone for their sins? Sister, don’t be angry with me..." The circles under her eyes turned red as she spoke.

Qin Hanzhen sounded a little soft-hearted, but more surprised: "How do you know this? Who told you?"

Brother Zi was too young. He was only three years old when He was divorced. Qin Bai and Niu were worried that he didn't understand what his biological mother had done, so they explained her departure very clearly.

Vague. Brother Zi only roughly knew that his biological mother had done something bad and was sent away. He probably didn’t know the specific situation. But now from his words, it seemed that he already knew. He had just celebrated his fifth birthday not long ago.

What could he know? Who told him?

Qin Hanzhen thought about it and said to him: "What your mother and sister did was their own fault and has nothing to do with you. Since you know who is right and who is wrong, forget them all in the future."

Right. Just remember that you are a child of the Qin family, the grandson of your grandparents, and don’t worry about other things."

Brother Zi nodded solemnly and said with red eyes: "I don't understand why they would do such a thing...Cousin Wu said it was because the mother wanted to hide the life experience of the eldest sister from the world and not let others know who the eldest sister was.

She had an affair with an adulterer. She lied to her eldest sister's father, and then to her father. She...how could she do that?! I feel so embarrassed...Why is she my mother?"

Qin Han was really shocked, who actually told a child about He's affair with others. She quickly asked: "Who told you these things?"

Brother Zi answered honestly: "Cousin Wu told me, and my uncle also said some things. Cousin Wu said, I am already a big boy. I need to be enlightened and read. I must understand things and don't let outsiders say something."

If you gossip, you will misunderstand your family members and do bad things like your mother and eldest sister." He pursed his lips and whispered angrily, "I will not be like them!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and touched his head: "Brother Zi is a sensible and good boy. I believe you will not be like them. You must study hard and study hard in the future. Since you said you would atone for their sins, then

Study hard and stand out in the future so that you can support your sister."

Zi Ge'er's eyes were shining brightly and he kept nodding his head: "I will definitely do it!"

Aunt Hu and Xia He came back with their shoes. Qin Hanzhen handed Brother Zi over to them and turned to leave. After thinking about it, she went to her father's room first and helped direct the subordinates to put their luggage.

After her father called for water to take a bath, she ran to the outer study to find her cousin. Wu Shaoying had already washed herself hastily and was quite happy to see her niece. She waved her over to talk and asked her how she was doing in Jinling.

.

Qin Hanzhen chatted with him wordlessly. After chatting for a while, he cautiously asked about Brother Zi: "He is still so young, so tell him the truth in case he can't stand it."

, or what should I do if I can’t understand?”

Wu Shaoying smiled: "You have to tell him. That is his biological mother. Since she is dead, her son should wear filial piety. Otherwise, how will outsiders see him? It is no different now than in the past. In the past, no one knew who his mother was.

He only knew that he was a nun, and even if he was a bit contemptuous, for the sake of the Qin family, he would not show it. But now many people in the capital knew the identity of his biological mother, and also knew that He was Zhao Qie's concubine.

She even openly shouted out that her eldest daughter was Zhao Qi's flesh and blood. Your uncle was laughed at and had been a cuckold for many years without knowing it, but he was in Datong and was not afraid of the comments in the capital. Brother Zi had to bear it more.

, at his young age, if he doesn’t know anything and listens to others’ instigation, he will be more likely to get into trouble. Therefore, I discussed with your father and told him the truth. If there is anything he doesn’t understand,

, we need to break it down and explain it in detail. Fortunately, this child is not stupid. After studying with the teacher for several months, he is also somewhat smart. He already understands the right and wrong, and knows who he should be close to and who he should despise.

"

He thought to himself that even if Brother Zi didn't understand this, he would explain it until the child understood.

But Qin Hanzhen noticed what he said: "Someone provoked in front of Brother Zi? Who? What did they provoke?"
