Brother Wanfu

Chapter 4 Brother
This is Qin Tian's first time leaving Zhucheng to go to other places.

Commander Qin Daren's residence is in Qingzhou Fucheng.

When Qin Tian arrived, scattered people on the street cast their gazes at her carriage. They were discussing in low voices, and the voices of the discussions reached Qin Tian's ears in a moderate manner.

"I didn't expect that the daughter in the outer room is so old. Poor Mrs. Qin is not in good health. She has been recuperating in the mansion, and she doesn't know anything!"

"Tsk, Mrs. Qin is such a good-hearted person, why did such a terrible thing happen, saying that the outer room had died earlier?"

"The outer room is dead, but the daughter is fine. She was raised outside, and I don't know what kind of character it is! From now on, I will be in front of my eyes every day, and Mrs. Qin needs to worry about marriage. If I am bothered, I will be annoyed." died!"

"."

Endless contempt.

Qin Tian wouldn't be so crushed that he couldn't lift his head, but he couldn't straighten his back either.

In the final analysis, she is indeed the daughter of the outer room who ruined Mrs. Qin's marriage.

A daughter raised outside the house wants to enter the mansion to see her aunt, how can she be arrogant?
Qin Tian was ready to be embarrassed and scolded by Mrs. Qin, and when he entered the Qin residence, he was led all the way to the main courtyard.

Such a deep house, with layers of walls, seems to be wrapped in thick cloth, airtight.

Qin Tian had no room to retreat, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in until he reached the gate of the main courtyard, and finally stopped temporarily.

After the accident, she saw her father for the first time, or rather, the famous Qingzhou Guard Commander Qin Guanzhong.

I just saw him a few days ago, and his appearance has not changed much, but he is no longer wearing the gorgeous clothes of a wealthy businessman, and he is wearing a copper-green dark pattern brocade robe with sword sleeves and wrists, which is like an official title. Oppressed, but more unfamiliar.

Qin Tian was unable to call him "Father" for a while, but Qin Guanzhong was slightly taken aback when he saw his daughter, glanced at the main courtyard, frowned and said something to the nurse in charge who brought her here.

"Let's meet today."

The nanny saluted.

"Returning to the master, the madam ordered the girl to enter the mansion. Since she is here, she must meet to be considered a girl."

Qin Guanzhong frowned even more, Qin Tian silently glanced at him from the sidelines, saw him sigh and said "Forget it", then looked at Qin Tian.

"Tian Tian, ​​you... first pay your respects to Madam before you talk."

There was a bit of helplessness in his tone, but he didn't say much.

Qin Tian saluted and said "yes", and followed the nurse in charge into the main courtyard.

Who would have thought that as soon as he walked to the atrium, there was a panic in the main room.

Qin Tian saw that Qin Guanzhong immediately became nervous, asking "what's the matter" repeatedly, and then a servant girl lifted the curtain and walked out quickly, holding a white handkerchief in her hand.

The servant girl's hands trembled, she could barely open them a little, Qin Guanzhong's face suddenly darkened, and Qin Tian also saw a small blood clot on the white veil.

Madam Qin's nanny on the side murmured in surprise, "Madam coughed up blood!"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Guanzhong was about to walk into the room with big strides, but just as he reached the door, he was stopped by another maid.

"Master, don't come in at this time, lest Madam see Master again."

Qin Guanzhong's footsteps stopped abruptly at the door of the room. He didn't dare to enter or even make a sound, so he could only hold down his voice tightly and ask someone to call for a doctor.

After the order was over, the coughing and panting in the room stopped for a while, and then he looked at Qin Tian and the nanny who brought Qin Tian to visit his wife, and spoke seriously.

"There's no need to go in, just kowtow in the courtyard and you'll get your name corrected, we'll talk about it another day."

Mammy didn't refute anymore, and immediately asked the little maid to bring the futon.

Qin Tian kowtowed to the main room in the courtyard.

When I looked up, I heard my father sigh as the conductor, and said something to her.

"Go."

Other than that, there is nothing else.

*
At noon that day, there was a hint of rain in the mansion that was about to come and the wind filled the building. In the evening, Qin Tian heard that his father had gone out in person, so he rushed to invite an old man who lived fifty miles away from the city and returned to his hometown. The imperial physician passed the government.

Qin Tian was placed in a large courtyard called Chaoyunxuan in the mansion, and the maids and women in the courtyard were all exactly the same as the girl's boudoir in the deep house compound.

Even when Mrs. Qin fell ill, all the meals prepared for her were delivered from the stove.

The gossip outside could not be heard in the courtyard, Qin Tian seemed to think that everything had nothing to do with her in a trance.

Regardless of whether it was related or not, after Qin Tian arrived at this strange Chaoyunxuan, he stayed here obediently and never took a step forward.

All the staff in Zhucheng's small courtyard were dispersed, and only two maidservants, Su Ye and Tiandong, could enter the inner courtyard to look after her.

Except for the two maids, only the stupid rabbit was left.

It's a pity that Hui Fei, who only knows how to eat and drink, is not in a good condition.

I don't know if it changed the environment suddenly, the dumb rabbit didn't eat or drink for two consecutive meals, and refused to come out of the cage.

Qin Tian reached into the cage to stroke it, but it shrank even tighter, shrinking itself into a ball.

Qin Tian looked at the dumb rabbit huddled in the cage, and then at himself confined in the Diaolianghuadong house, shaking his head silently.

For a whole day, the dumb rabbit refused to eat.

Qin Tian frowned and looked at the rabbit for a long time, and then heard that the Qin family outside seemed to be much quieter, so she carried the gray and fat cage and stepped out of the door.

As soon as she came out, the maids and mother-in-law of the Qin family who were working in the courtyard all stopped what they were doing and looked over, their eyes showed moderate vigilance.

How could Qin Tian not see everyone's expressions?He could only lift the cage in his hand and explain.

"I took the rabbit and walked a few steps in the yard."

After she said this, all the maids of the Qin family looked away, and a woman in charge heard the words, and stepped forward to answer hesitantly.

"If the girl wants to go for a walk, it is naturally possible. It is not far from the back door of Chaoyunxuan. The servant can accompany the girl there."

Qin Tian didn't intend to leave the yard. She felt that it would be better for her to stay in the yard honestly at this time, so she waved her hand.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

After she finished speaking, the lady in charge breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Tian didn't plan to go out, but at this moment a young servant came to deliver a message.

"The master asked the girl to talk to the study in the outer courtyard."

*
The study in the outer courtyard.

The so-called study is not only one, but a wide courtyard.

As soon as she arrived at the concierge, she saw a person dressed as a big servant girl in a willow yellow dress coming forward.

"Girl is well, servant girl Huang Ling is the master serving in the study in the outer courtyard. The master is waiting for the girl in the study. The girl will come with the servant girl."

Qin Tian thanked her, and followed her into the study, while Huang Ling attracted Qin Tian, ​​and made the little maid serve tea, then beckoned everyone to retreat.

Only Qin Tian and Qin Guanzhong were left in the study.

Qin Tian saluted, Qin Guanzhong pointed to the chair at the bottom, and let her sit down.

Qin Guanzhong took a look at Qin Tian. After two or three days, her round cheeks had visibly diminished.

When I saw myself before, I ran forward briskly and called "Daddy" in a sweet voice.

But today she just sat like this, with her head half down and didn't say a word.

With her appearance like this, Qin Guanzhong didn't know how to speak.

"Tiantian. You are living in Chaoyunxuan, are you still used to it?"

"I'm used to it."

"That's good, if there is any inconvenience, let the lady in charge in your courtyard do it," Qin Guanzhong said, seeing that Qin Tian was still bowing his head in silence, and said, "Or send a message to Qin Zhou and ask him to do it." Row."

When Qin Tian heard Uncle Zhou's name, he raised his head slightly.

"understood."

When the voice fell to the ground, the conversation ended here, unlike in the past in the small courtyard of Zhucheng, there was always one of the father and daughter who could continue the topic.

The study seemed to be in an endless silence.

Just at this time, a guard outside spoke.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from the guard."

Qin Guanzhong's guards in the mansion are all well-trained soldiers and their feet are extremely light. At this moment, they suddenly opened their mouths in front of the door, which shocked Qin Tian almost to his feet.

Everything that is unfamiliar will make people more tense, so that a little fright can make people have a great reaction.

Seeing her like this, Qin Guanzhong knew that she could not adapt so quickly in this strange environment after all.

"Don't be afraid, Tian Tian, ​​the guards have something to report."

He comforted Qin Tian, ​​and seeing that the little girl was only terrified and nodded, he couldn't help but sigh.

But Wei all reported urgently, so he had no choice but to get up.

"Daddy has some official business, so he has to go to the guard."

When the voice fell to the ground, Qin Tian stood up sensiblely and wanted to leave.

The more obedient and obedient she was, Qin Guanzhong felt a little uncomfortable, but it was inconvenient to say anything at this time, so he could only say:
"Don't worry, Daddy asked Uncle Zhou to take you back to Chaoyunxuan."

After saying that, seeing Qin Tian's eyes finally reveal some light, he was relieved and left quickly.

As soon as he left, Qin Tian saw the old steward Uncle Zhou in front of the study door.

When Uncle Zhou saw the girl from a distance, his plump body shook violently, and he quickly walked in front of Qin Tian.

"My girl, why are you so thin?"

Just this sentence made Qin Tian's eyes suddenly heat up.

During her more than ten years in Zhucheng, her father did not come often, and her mother passed away three years ago. She had no brothers or sisters, and the two maids did not enter the mansion until she was ten years old. People around her came and went, but Uncle Zhou has been by her side for more than ten years.

"Uncle Zhou, how are you?"

She was still thinking about Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou repeatedly said hello, looked at his girl more and more lovingly, and immediately led the way to send her back to Chaoyunxuan, said.

"Miss, you don't have to worry about the old slave. Although most of the people in our yard were sent to the Zhuangzi in the past, the old slave is still in the outer courtyard. If the girl has an order, just send someone to find me."

Qin Tian had heard about it.

The original three brothers of the head of the Qin family were all loyal servants who were given the surname "Qin" by Qin Guanzhong, but the third brother of the head of the Qin family disappeared more than ten years ago and has never been found.

And this third younger brother was none other than Qin Zhou, so the so-called disappearance was just an excuse.

Now Qin Zhou has returned to the Qin Mansion and stayed in the outer courtyard to take care of his two elder brothers.

He was obviously more free than Qin Tian in the mansion, so he taught Qin Tian how to make people find him.

These are all trivial matters, since Qin Tian has come to the Qin residence, she is already a lady of the Qin residence, so one must know the rules of the deep house.

In the past, Qin Tian only knew some of these rules in his scriptures, but now Qin Zhou is sending Qin Tian back, and at the same time, he is carefully talking about some common house matters.

The old steward was chattering, seeing the girl's dazed expression, he didn't know where to look.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

Qin Tian paused slightly, "I was thinking, is it possible for us to go back, or go out and live alone?"

Qin Tian looked up at the high sky in the distance.

The sun is so big that it makes people's shadows small.

Qin Zhou sighed, "I'm afraid this is not true. Madam is gentle, but she married the master when she was more than ten years old. For more than 20 years, the husband and wife got along well and envied others. Now this happened suddenly. Madam I'm not in good health, I really can't bear it
"Young lady, don't think too much about it. Since Madam sent someone to bring her into the mansion, you still have to recognize what she means. It's always a good thing for a girl to have a proper name."

Mrs. Qin is not a kind-faced and cruel aunt, Qin Tian has also noticed a little in the past two days.

It's not that she's afraid of Mrs. Qin, it's just that she always feels that she shouldn't be here.

Since she couldn't, she stopped talking and called the old steward.

"Go ahead."

Qin Zhou said hello, I wanted to continue talking about the rules just now, but then I suddenly thought of another thing.

"Girl, besides the master and madam, there is another master in our house."

He said, smiling, "Didn't the girl always want a brother?"

Qin Tian's footsteps paused.

Qin Zhou laughed.

"There is also an eldest son in the mansion, who is the eldest son of the old man's wife. His single name is 'Shen'. He is the girl's serious elder brother!"

brother.

Qin Tian clenched her hands. She had heard of this eldest son of the Qin family, her elder brother.
