Chapter 537 Partner
Brother Zi can be said to be like a fish in water in Qinzhuang.
Not many people knew about his biological mother. Even if they heard about it, they thought that he was the only grandson of Yongjia Marquis Qin Bai. Others could not embarrass him in person. At most, they would just talk about it behind his back.
He deliberately curry favor with Qin Bai, his golden thigh, and he would do everything possible to please his grandson, and he would never make the child unhappy.
Even Qin Keyong of the clan house has learned his lesson now. In order to prevent his wife, Xiao Huang, from causing trouble, he specifically asked her not to provoke the people in the sixth house anymore, and also asked the concierge at home to keep an eye on her. Don't let Xiao Huang.
Feel free to go out.
Qinzhuang is different from the Chengenhou Mansion in Beijing, and even more different from the houses in Jinling City. The place here is larger and more open, and most of the people walking in the village are Qin clan members or servants from each house, not even female relatives.
He can move around freely, let alone a boy like Zi Geer. He has grown so big that he is either trapped in the house in Datong or in Qingfeng Pavilion. There is also limited room for movement on the ship going south. This can be said to be
It was the first time he came back to a place where he could run around freely, as long as there was someone following him, he could go anywhere. His grandparents would not care about him, and his uncle from the Wu family even took him to identify various crops, fruit trees, flowers and plants, so that he could go wherever he wanted.
He and his brothers went to catch crickets, fly kites, and go to the water to catch small fish. The sky was so big that he could have as much fun as he wanted, and he almost went crazy playing.
The Qin family lived in separate houses, and there were children in every house and household. Some were similar in age to Brother Zi and could play with him; there were also some older than him who had been warned by their parents in advance to play with him after playing.
, will also protect him carefully; there are also children younger than him, who are specially selected by the elders to be honest, well-behaved and don't like to play around. They come to accompany Zi Geer, and they only need to hang around Zi Geer. Zi Geer
His academic progress is faster than all of them. After memorizing a few texts, he can easily get praise from the elders in the clan and win the admiration of his friends. All of this is something Zi Geer has never experienced before.
.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that among the friends who are more compatible with him, they have all entered the introductory class of ethnic studies. They always have to take time to go to school every day and have to do homework after returning home. It is impossible to accompany him all the time.
He. Brother Zi also has homework. He used to do it alone and didn't think it was anything. Now he suddenly feels bored. He begged his grandmother Niu and ran to do homework with his friends. In order to be able to play with his friends
He always ranks first in the middle and always gets their admiration and admiration. Brother Zi also works a lot harder than before and is more attentive when practicing calligraphy.
Qin Bai was very happy to hear this and said to Niu: "I forgot before that I should find a reading companion for Brother Zi. Having someone to study with him will not make him too lonely. There is a comparison in schoolwork.
If children are very competitive, they will naturally work harder and strive not to be compared to others. When I used to teach students, wasn’t that what the children in the school were like?"
Niu also thought of the past and couldn't help but smile: "It's been a long time since we saw Wang Fulin and the others. When we went to Beijing, they said we were going to take the county examination. Later we only heard that we had won the title of scholar.
But I don’t know what the results of the provincial examination will be?”
Qin Bai thought for a while: "I'm afraid they are still not ready. When Manager Liu went to Beijing to report the accounts last year, he didn't mention them. He must have failed the provincial examination. They are still young and have studied hard for a few years.
Sooner or later they will win. I have been teaching them for so long and I know it well."
Mr. Niu sighed: "It's a pity that now that we have become relatives, it is better to open a school in the capital to teach students. I am afraid that people will say that... forming a party for personal gain? In my opinion, that is all because we are full! You can't do anything.
It’s just to teach a few primary school students. When people have the reputation of being a scholar and can do whatever they like, they can continue to stay and ask you for advice. It doesn’t hurt to find another famous teacher, or go to a private school like Shaoying, or go to the Imperial College.
Yes, you won’t stop me. What kind of clique is this for personal gain?”
Qin Bai smiled and said: "Even if the emperor allows me to accept students, I am too lazy to accept any more students. Now it is no different than before. Now that I have become the Marquis of Yongjia, once I say that I want to accept students, will you really have good talents and beautiful jade coming to your door?"
There will only be countless princes and dignitaries who come to ask for their children. They are not their eldest sons or only sons, but heirs that the family doesn't pay much attention to. They just want to borrow my name as the uncle of the country, and they don't really want to study. I
Since they are not well-known in Beijing, they will not feel it is a pity if their children are taught badly. I can't reject all the students who come to my door. If I reject them, I will offend others. But if the students are stupid and stupid,
, no matter how I teach them, if they don’t satisfy me, isn’t that just adding to the trouble for myself? It’s better not to accept any of them, and I’ll be more peaceful. Besides, I’m old, so it’s enough to teach Hanzhen and Guanglu in my free time, so why bother with that?
?”
Mr. Niu frowned when he heard this: "That's the bad thing about the capital. If you want to accept a satisfactory student, it will be a hindrance." He came up with a new idea, "How about choosing a few good children from the clan, or among relatives.
When selecting people, you take them with you and teach them, so others can’t say you’ve formed a clique, right?”
This is a good idea, but how can Qin Bai take care of it now? He smiled and said: "Let's see. I haven't found any particularly outstanding seedlings in ethnic studies."
The couple just chatted for a few words. Apart from their own family members, the only people around them were Wu Shaoying and Zhao Mo, as well as a few male and female servants who were waiting nearby. I don't know how, but the words actually spread. Only
In one day, Qin Kewen, the fourth-fang master who was in charge of the clan study, sent his six-year-old son Zhang Geer over.
Qin Kewen smiled and said to Qin Bai: "This child is also naughty at home. Due to his cleverness, he has been better than other brothers in memorizing books since he was a child, but he never likes to pay attention to his homework. These days, I have been with Brother Zi.
Together, he has become a bit more honest, and he also understands the principles of human beings. He is now able to draw red lines and practice calligraphy with his heart. I see that he has made progress, and I am really happy. I only hope that he will continue to be sensible. I think Zi Ge will be around him.
Since he doesn’t have a satisfactory playmate, why not ask Brother Zhang to be his reading companion? The two children often read and play together, and they can supervise each other, so that both parties can benefit from each other.”
Qin Bai has met Brother Zhang and knows that what Qin Kewen said is true. Brother Zhang is considered to be more talented among the younger generation of Qin family children, but his temperament is a little out of control and his patience is a little poor.
But there has been some progress recently. It is indeed a good thing to have Brother Zhang by Brother Zi's side, but Qin Bai knows that he will not stay in the clan forever. Even if he keeps Brother Zhang, it will only take a few days.
.When they send off Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying and set off for Shitang, it's time to return Brother Zhang to the fourth room.
Qin Kewen didn't care about this, but said: "If the third uncle doesn't mind his noisiness, let him follow the third uncle and the third aunt all the time, and let him see the world and broaden his horizons."
Qin Bai's eyes widened. Was he trying to push the child directly towards him? Although he could understand Qin Kewen's thoughts, he was willing to give up a six-year-old child...
Qin Bai did not directly agree to this. He only said that he would let Brother Zhang come over every day to read and write with Brother Zi, and then go back to his own home in the evening to see how the two children get along.
Qin Kewen was not dissatisfied with this, and happily agreed, leaving his son to go home.
His wife didn't seem to have any complaints about this, and she often came over to talk to Mr. Niu and see if her son needed anything so that she could send him something from home.
After hearing about Qin Kewen's suggestion from Qin Bai, Mr. Niu asked his wife privately if she knew about it. His wife smiled calmly: "Of course I know. My husband discussed with me before sending Brother Zhang away."
Come here. This is a good thing for Brother Zhang. We have several sons, but Brother Zhang is the youngest. Keeping him at home will certainly help us worry less, but his future is also limited. The third uncle is a man with a university education. If
Brother Zhang will be able to benefit from the experience he gained by staying with his third uncle for the rest of his life. For the sake of his child's future, what does it mean to be separated from him for a few years? The third uncle and his aunt are all kind-hearted people, and the family
My brothers, nephews and nieces are also very kind and will never cause brother Zhang to suffer. He might as well live comfortably at home with his uncle and aunt."
Both Qin Kewen and his wife admitted their intentions very frankly, but Qin Bai and Niu lost their temper. Qin Bai had tested Qin Kewen's character beforehand, and then he was confident to hand over his clan knowledge to him. Now he will
It doesn't seem like a bad thing for his son to stay with him as a reading companion for his grandson, but Qin Bai himself feels a little awkward and always feels that this is a bit of a provocation. Besides, Brother Zhang is still young, which really makes him separated from his parents.
, not very kind. He thought, it was just a collapse while in Jiangnan. Before returning to Beijing, it would be better to return his grandnephew to the fourth room.
Zi Ge'er and Zhang Ge'er are getting closer and closer, and they are inseparable every day. They are like real brothers. Wu Shaoying saw that they were both good-looking, and asked someone to make exactly the same clothes for them. The two children wore the same clothes.
, appeared in front of people, and everyone would praise her when they saw her. Some people joked that Qin Kewen's wife had given birth to a pair of beautiful children, and she actually hid it from the rest of the family?
Soon after, Qin Keliang and Feng's sons were also sent over from the clan house to keep company with Brother Zi and Brother Zhang. Qin Keliang's son was similar in age to them, but his temperament was more stable. Brother Zi and Brother Zhang
The two children are all polite, and the three of them get along very well. They often read and write together, and after finishing their homework, they go to play together. With a little brother to take care of them, they never do anything worrying. Qin Bai and
Mr. Niu felt even more relieved when he saw it.
As a result, Mrs. Niu's impression of the clan changed drastically, and she felt that apart from Xiao Huang, the others were pretty reliable. She first met the two girls introduced by the clan leader and his wife, who lived nearby, Xiao Feng, whose home was in Songjiang.
Xiao Shen still needs to wait a few more days before she has reason to invite Jiang Ning as a guest. However, she is slightly biased towards Xiao Feng in her heart. She feels that although this girl has ideas, she has an upright character and is not the exclusive lover of He.
Women who follow crooked ways are comparable. With Qin An's soft-eared temperament, if he had a wife with a good idea to keep an eye on him, he would be able to avoid going astray.
Before Qin An's remarry candidate was finally decided, Qin Ping had already reached the point where he had to leave. Qin Bai and Niu took their grandchildren and personally sent their son to Jinling Pier, holding his hand, thinking of this
Once they were separated, they didn't know when they would see each other again, and they felt extremely reluctant to part with each other.
Qin Ping kowtowed to his parents and told Qin Hanzhen many words. Then he turned to Wu Shaoying, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him: "Take it. When you return to Mizhi in the future, maybe
It can come in handy.”
Wu Shaoying took the letter in a daze, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw that it was Aunt Guan's name written on it.
