Chapter 637 Farewell

It was late February and the weather was getting warmer. Zhou Xiangnian inquired about the news from the north at the shipyard. He said that the canal was open to traffic again, so he reported to Qin Bai. Qin Bai immediately ordered the luggage to be loaded onto the ship, and he was ready to go north to Beijing.

.

Wu Shaoying and Huang Jincheng came to see them off together. People from almost every house of the Qin clan came. Even the governor and the prefect of Jinling were very impressed and came to the dock to see them off. Even Mao, Pan and others from as far away as Huzhou and Suzhou.

Several of Qin Bai's new friends also came to see him off. On the day Qin Bai bid farewell to Jiangning, the farewell ceremony by the river was quite grand.

However, no matter how grand the scene is, there is a time when everyone comes to an end. Qin Hanzhen stayed with his grandmother, saying goodbye to Feng from the clan house and Qin Kewen's wife from the fourth house, and then talked to his cousin Wu Shaoying.

Qin Hanzhen was more verbose than ever before. He kept pulling Wu Shaoying and told him to take good care of himself. He never married a wife and did not take any concubines. He only had a housekeeper, a servant and a rough lady around him, who even took care of his food, clothing and daily life. He felt cold.

No one has a fever, so he has to rely on himself to realize everything. However, he is also a person with big ideas. He is stubborn and refuses to listen to a word of advice from the housekeeper. Qin Hanzhen, after the illness he suffered a year ago, has never

He became a frightened bird, fearing that he would be confused again at some point, work indiscriminately, sit down again and get sick, which would damage his body.

Wu Shaoying just smiled and listened to her niece's talk, and did not think she was nagging. This was Qin Hanzhen's concern for him, and he naturally understood it in his heart. In fact, since the illness he suffered a year ago, he has now woken up. In this world

, he is not really free from worries, at least the only drop of blood left by his beloved in the world still needs his support. Teacher Qin Bai and Shi Mu Niu will have other children and grandchildren, cousin-in-law Qin

Ping would marry again and have children, and the Guan family was far away in the northwest and had no one to rely on. The only thing Qin Hanzhen could really count on was his cousin. If he didn't cherish himself and work hard, he was afraid that his nephew and daughter would suffer in the future.

Even though he was wronged, he was powerless. Therefore, even if it was to protect this child, he had to take care of himself and work hard to make a career in his career. Otherwise, how could he have the face to meet the person who was working for him in the future?

Where is the dead cousin Guan Rongniang?

When Qin Hanzhen finished blabbering, Wu Shaoying comforted her: "Don't worry about your cousin. At such a young age, she is like an old lady worrying about you. I can't take care of my cousin when he is so old."

Are you taking care of yourself? As for my affairs in the Yamen, you don’t have to worry about it. It’s been more than a month since the Yamen opened after the new year. I have been doing my job with all my heart, and I also helped the prefect find out several mistakes and wiped out many mistakes for him.

. He now regards me as half of his confidant, and there is no longer any resentment as before. From now on, my situation in the prefect's yamen will only get better and better, so you just need to rest assured."

Qin Han was really surprised. The last time Wu Shaoying came to see her, she didn't mention this incident. It was quite sudden. But thinking about it, she was not surprised. With Wu Shaoying's ability, as long as he is willing, anyone can

It can't be done?

Thinking back to the rumors I heard a few days ago, it was concluded that the troubled current Jinling Mansion seemed to have begun to pretend to be sick and take leave in order to prepare for his escape in the future. It is estimated that in another two or three months, Wu Shaoying will be able to sit down.

He was in the position of acting promotion officer. Originally, he was worried that the prefect of Jinling would not like him and would cause trouble. Now that Wu Shaoying has taken over the prefect of Jinling, what else is there to worry about? My cousin's promotion path will surely be smooth.

Go down.

Qin Han was really relieved and didn't want to talk too much. Instead, Wu Shaoying began to tell her: "My cousin knows that you are close to the grandson of the King of Liao, as close as brothers and sisters, but he is not your brother after all. Now you are too old.

As you get older, there are differences between men and women, and you still have to observe the etiquette. You

The two of you are open-minded and think it's okay, but you also need to guard against villains gossiping. The capital is no better than Jiangnan. You don't have to force yourself to socialize with others in Jiangnan. Your relatives and friends are also facing you and won't chew behind your back.

Tongue. But there are many powerful and powerful people in the capital, and many have dark minds. They can’t see

If you want to get good things from others, you will make waves even if you don't have anything to do, let alone gossiping behind others' backs and giving you a bad reputation. The grandson of the King of Liao was born into a noble family. No matter how much his father valued him, no one could underestimate his status.

He also has the emperor and the prince supporting him. A little gossip will not bother him. But you are a woman.

My child, once you let someone hurt your reputation, I'm afraid life will be difficult. Even if your teacher, teacher, and mother are innocent and don't take it to heart, will you really never appear in front of people or interact with others for the rest of your life? Why bother asking people?

Take your word for it? If you want to live a comfortable life, it’s better to live like the light and dust as much as possible.”

Qin Hanzhen knew that his cousin was really thinking about himself, so he bowed his head and agreed, and smiled: "It's not like I'm often with Cousin Zhao, so I forget about propriety. In the past, it was because we studied and studied painting together in front of my grandfather.

, I saw more. But as he gets older, sooner or later he has to start doing business. How can I still see him every day when I am learning from myself in the inner house? Don’t say that I can’t do it anymore, so can my grandparents.

I wouldn’t do that. After all, it’s no different now than it was when I was a kid.”

In fact, when Zhao Mo gets the title after entering the capital, he is afraid that he will go to the fiefdom, and it is impossible to continue to live a quiet life in the inner residence of Yongjia Marquis Mansion. But the matter has not been finalized, and Qin Hanzhen does not follow Wu

Shaoying made it clear that she just wanted to reassure him.

Wu Shaoying saw that Qin Han really understood what he meant, and his expression softened: "Good boy, you are a sensible person. Even though my cousin can't be by your side, you can still rest assured. In fact, the descendant of the Liao King... Although he has many shortcomings, he treats you

There is still some sincerity. In the future..." He paused, "Let's see, it's still early to say this now."

Qin Hanzhen tilted his head and looked at him: "What does my cousin mean by this? Of course Cousin Zhao is good to me. He has always been sincere in getting along with our family. Is it possible that he can still be fake? There is no such thing.

Is it necessary?"

Wu Shaoying smiled but didn't say anything: "I'm thinking too much, just pretend I didn't say it."

At this time, Mr. Niu, Mr. Feng and others finished talking and came over to call Wu Shaoying. He stopped talking to his niece and went to listen to his wife's instructions.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the boats of the Qin family and the Feng family left Jiangning Pier and sailed to the Yangtze River waterway. Qin Hanzhen supported his grandmother Niu and stood on the deck, looking at Brother Qian on the shore from a distance and sobbing to them.

While waving my hands and wiping away my grandmother's tears, I couldn't help but feel some sadness about separation.

Finally, it was time to leave.

The fleet left Jiangning Pier, crossed the Yangtze River diagonally, reached the other side, and then turned into the mouth of the canal and sailed directly to Yangzhou. Their fleet had many people and carried a lot of cargo, and they all carried the banner of Yongjia Marquis Mansion all the way.

, I didn’t dare to be embarrassed at the pass along the road, but there were many small officials and officials rushing to

They came up to please, so the boat didn't go very fast. When they arrived in Yangzhou, it was already evening. Qin Bai thought that when they went south the year before last, they only stayed in Yangzhou for one day, so he simply ordered everyone to dock in Yangzhou and take the opportunity to play for a few more days.

It can be regarded as fulfilling the oath to his old wife Niu.

Qin Hanzhen and his party visited Slender West Lake in Yangzhou and visited several scenic spots and historic sites. They were now acquainted with Huang Jincheng. The latter had written letters to people in his hometown in advance, and some gentry from the Huang family came to visit after hearing the news.

Qin Bai hosted a banquet for them in a famous restaurant in the city.

Qin Hanzhen followed his grandmother and inquired about Xiao Huang's natal family, and found that almost no one in the Huang family in Yangzhou knew the current news about their family. Only Mr. Huang Er, who once went south with the Qin family, was from Huang Jincheng

I have heard everywhere that Xiao Huang's brother, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces went to the capital and became friends with powerful people. However, for some unknown reason, they have never had contact with the Huang family in Beijing. It seems that they are deliberately hiding from their own family members. Mr. Huang Er

Naturally, he felt something was wrong, but the people in the tribe didn't care much about this side branch, and even laughed at their wishful thinking, and didn't care about their current situation. He wanted to inquire, but he had no one to go to.

I can sigh at home.

Because they had a friendship with each other, Mr. Huang Er also asked Zhou Xiangnian privately to help keep an eye on the news about his nephew's family. As for his brother Mr. Huang Liu, who still lives in Jiangning, he has been sick and there is no one around him.

His daughter is still taking care of herself in the Qin family's clan house. Mr. Huang Er has sent a family member from home to take care of him, and also provided some money. I think Mr. Huang Liu can support it for a while, but I don't know if he can support his unfilial son and his family.

Returning.

Speaking of the situation of Xiao Huang's family, Qin Hanzhen just sighed a few words with his elders and forgot about it. Qin Keyong did not follow them north this time, and had agreed to follow Zhao in a few months.

The tea caravan on the other side of Mo set off. He, the serious son-in-law of the Huang family, didn't come forward, so why should others meddle in other people's business? Qin Hanzhen followed his family to eat and drink in Yangzhou, bought some local specialties, and left by boat again.

Continue north along the canal to Huai'an.

When we arrived in Huai'an, we had already crossed the Huaihe River. In winter, the canal north of the Huaihe River was frozen. Although it has reopened now, the water level is not very high, so the boat does not go very fast. Qin Hanzhen and his party visited Hongze in Huai'an

He was planning to go somewhere else to visit the lake. After hearing the news, the Hedao Governor's Mansion stationed here sent a message, inviting Qin Bai's family and Zhao Mo to a banquet, saying that he wanted to cleanse them of their troubles.

The Governor of Hedao was an elegant man, and the place where he held the banquet was also an elegant place. It was a famous local garden called Qingyan Garden, which had quite a lot of scenery to enjoy. Qin Hanzhen opened his eyes and tasted Huai'an's delicacies.

, and also tasted the famous local tea dumplings, and the little life was quite beautiful. It happened to be Qin Bai's birthday, and they also celebrated Qin Bai's birthday again in Huai'an. They only held a small banquet on the boat and enjoyed themselves.

Mr. Niu, Mr. Qin Hanzhen and Mr. Zhao Mo all gave gifts. Even Ms. Feng paid tribute with two-color needlework, and the family lived in harmony.

They stayed in Huai'an for a few days, then continued north, and soon arrived in Xuzhou. They also stayed in Xuzhou for two more days and visited all the places they had not visited the year before. They thought that not far ahead, they would reach Shandong.

, you can also take the opportunity to inquire about the saline-alkali land that you have noticed before and see if there are any talents who know how to manage it. Xuzhou is a big city and there are many bookstores in the city. Qin Hanzhen persuaded Zhao Mo to look around to see if he could find any useful agricultural books.

Buy some suitable seeds.

At this moment, a letter from the head of the capital arrived. The letter was written by Qin Zhonghai himself. In addition to mentioning trivial matters at home, it also mentioned an important news in the capital.

Mr. Wang Er, who was deeply trusted by the emperor, could not survive the illness and passed away at the end of the first year.

Before he died, he met the emperor who came to visit him in person. He did not ask for any favors for his brother and his family. He only asked the emperor for one thing, that is, he hoped that the emperor would agree to allow his brother and his two older sons to resign and return to their hometown.

Rongyang, don’t return to the court or participate in politics as long as you live.
