In September of this year, the biggest event in the literary world of Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty was that Zeng Mian, a new imperial examination candidate from Jiangdu County, Yangzhou Prefecture, got married in Nanjing.
In other words, primary school students are going to have a father! If they are bullied by primary school students in the future, they can go to their parents!
When a new imperial examination candidate gets married, of course there are people willing to help. The Xu family also intends to sell it well, putting in a lot of effort and sending two servants, and then the county government comes to join in the fun.
In fact, Qin Dewei didn't even think about telling Feng Zhixian, it was unnecessary, this marriage had nothing to do with Feng Zhixian.
However, for people like Zhou whose ex-husband has been missing for more than three years, the law allows remarriage, but it must be approved by the county government, so Magistrate Feng knew about it.
So Feng Zhixian made an urgent appointment with Zeng Juren, and established a relationship with Zeng Juren as a senior in the department. The two parties had a friendly and frank exchange of views on the issue of children's education.
Then Feng Zhixian counted the days and looked forward to Mr. Zeng’s wedding. When everything was finalized and Qin Dewei changed his surname, he would call the primary school students over and call himself Shibo a hundred times!
Having said that, although the time was tight, there was no problem in keeping everything simple for the wedding. Moreover, Zeng Mian had no money to begin with, so he couldn't make it a grand affair even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, neither party comes from a wealthy family, and there are no elders or aunts to pick problems. If it is simple, no one will mind, so you can just worry about it.
Anyway, Qin Dewei will not participate in the whole wedding and will not show up. Others understand this very well.
In a flash, the wedding day arrived, and even Xu Miaoxuan ran over to help.
Qin Dewei was bored at home and inexplicably irritable. He couldn't read anymore. So he threw away the book and walked out. But when he got out of the door, he didn't know where to go. It seemed that there was no place to go today.
It's impossible for Wang Lianqing to do that. It's a bit outrageous for her mother to remarry today and her son to go drink wine.
I went to my uncle's house to sit there, and I felt guilty again. I was about to change my last name, and I felt like I didn't have the face to meet my uncle.
And other acquaintances who are related to him may be at the wedding, and it is difficult to find them.
After much deliberation, Qin Dewei strolled to Sanshan Street and entered Gu Qiongzhi's house. It seemed that this was the only place he could go.
After sitting in the hall for a while, he saw Gu Qiongzhi coming out. Qin Dewei took a few glances and criticized him: "It's cold today, why are you wearing such thin clothes? You're not afraid of getting sick!"
Gu Qiongzhi thought for a moment and suddenly realized that the young official must want to change his taste. He went in and came out again and put on the white mourning clothes that he had not worn for a long time.
Qin Dewei: ""
To be honest, even a smart man like him can't figure out Madam Gu's brain sometimes.
Gu Qiongzhi sat next to him and asked, "Why are you here today, little official? It's unexpected for me."
She knew that today was the day when Qin Dewei's mother remarried. Qin Dewei had previously withdrawn some money from her and gave it to her mother, which made her aware of Qin's mother's marriage.
Qin Dewei replied nonchalantly: "After much thought, I have nowhere to go. Looking at Nanjing, fortunately, I still have my sister here to bother me!"
Gu Qiongzhi thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized, what was the official implying to him?
On such a special day as his mother's remarriage, he went to his widow's house and said such words. Did he also imply that he could remarry?
But that’s not possible now, he’s still young!
That's not right. It's impossible for them to be together. How can they be husband and wife with almost ten years of age difference? There is no future between them!
Too direct a rejection would make the young man sad, so Gu Qiongzhi said tactfully: "You are still young now. When you grow up, you and I can make decisions together, okay?"
Qin Dewei: "???"
What is Sister Gu thinking about now? What should we decide together? Forget it, let’s talk about the bank’s recent business.
At this moment, the maid in the front yard suddenly came to report that Mr. Qin from the county government had come to visit Mrs. Gu.
Qin Dewei was very surprised: "My uncle hasn't come to see you before, has he? Why did he come suddenly today?"
Gu Qiongzhi was also very surprised: "Could he be here to find you?"
Qin Dewei denied it outright: "I didn't tell my uncle that he was here. Besides, if my uncle came to see me, he would have called my name directly, and he wouldn't have just said that he was here to find you."
Gu Qiongzhi said again: "No need to guess, please come in and ask and you will know?"
Qin Dewei sighed: "You can go and meet him, but I don't have the face to see my uncle today, so I'll stay away for now."
So Gu Qiongzhi went to the front hall alone. After Qin Qin was brought in, he invited Qin to sit down and have tea, and then asked: "Uncle Qin suddenly comes to see me, what do you want me to do?"
Chief Qin let out a long sigh and said, "My Qin family is facing the danger of extermination, and I would like to ask Madam Gu if she has the kindness to continue her life."
Gu Qiongzhi was startled and asked again: "Uncle Qin, where did you start talking about this? I feel that I am not worthy of my concubine."
Qin Captou said with a tragic face: "Today my sister-in-law remarries, Brother Wei is afraid that he will have to change his surname. This is for the sake of fame and future, and there is nothing we can do about it.
But our Qin family cannot be cut off, so I can only think of another way!
In the future, Wei Geer will marry a wife and have children in the Zeng family. That will be the business of the Zeng family, but our Qin family will also have to find another room for Wei Geer!
As long as a child named Qin is born in this house, it will be a great favor to our Qin family! No matter what the worldly status is, in our Qin family, it will be regarded as the eldest branch of the main house, and the incense of the Qin family will be enshrined!"
Gu Qiongzhi's face turned red with embarrassment. He never expected that Capt. Qin was also stimulated and came over to say these embarrassing words to him.
Qin Baotou is now Qin Dewei's only elder in the Qin family. He has final say in family affairs. According to what he said, it seems that there may be a future again?
Qin Baotou finally said: "Brother Wei and you know each other well, and you have been through adversity together, and your friendship is different from others, so I can rest assured. Today I just want to make my words clear. Madam Gu, you might as well think about it first."
!”
Gu Qiongzhi said in an imperceptible whisper: "I think about it."
Catcher Qin hurriedly said goodbye, but he was actually feeling very embarrassed.
It is really shameful to go to someone else's house and say to the woman, "Please seriously consider helping our Lao Qin family to have children in the future."
But for the sake of the Qin family's incense, Qin Baotou can risk everything. The incense is almost gone, so what's the use of face!
Gu Qiongzhi was also in a daze. He even forgot to see off guests and sat in the front hall in a daze for a long time.
Then he got up and went back to the backyard. When he saw Qin Dewei sitting crookedly in the armchair, he couldn't help but let out a "poof" and cursed: "You little bastard!"
Qin Dewei: "???"
What's going on? Why are you scolding yourself? Why is Sister Gu's face so red again?
Gu Qiongzhi gathered her thoughts, adjusted her emotions, and said with an adult tone: "From now on, if you have anything to say, just say it directly to me, don't let an honest man like my uncle embarrass you!"
Qin Dewei was confused, "What are you talking about?"
Mrs. Gu said "haha" several times, this little man is deliberately pretending to be innocent again, pretend it, pretend it, see if you can still pretend it for one year or two.
