hairpin family

Chapter 74

As soon as she saw the figures of the three, the old concubine didn't care about her manners. She stretched out her hand from the corridor and rushed over. When she saw Qin Zhe, she hugged her and cried, "My darling, why are you doing this?" After going there, there has been no news for many years, but it is known that grandma cried and woke up. In the past few years, she has never slept peacefully? Since you are fine, why didn’t you even bring a letter?"

"It's the grandson who is unfilial."

Qin Zhe pulled Qin Zhao down to kneel down, and the old concubine Ren stopped him, but still kowtowed several times.Because the old concubine had never met Qin Zhao, but she knew who it was in her heart, she wiped her tears and said, "This is your sister Zhao'er?"

"It's Zhao'er, Zhao'er has met grandmother." Qin Zhao didn't wait for Qin Zhe's answer, so he raised his face and replied crisply.

"Quick, get up, you two debt collectors."

The old concubine pulled the siblings up with one hand in each hand.

Princess Jinyang, who followed up early in the morning, also had tears in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mother, although it is mid-autumn, but the sun outside is at its strongest, let's ask Zhe'er and Zhao'er to come in and talk first." , The two children who have traveled all the way have also suffered."

"Yes, yes, it seems that I am old and confused." The old concubine said to her, but her hands were not loosened, she looked left and right, and she couldn't bear to miss it.

After entering the room, the whole family was seated on the couch, Qin Zhe pulled Qin Zhao, formally kowtowed to the old concubine a few times, and then knelt down again.

The family saw each other again.Not to mention the old concubine, brother and sister Qin Zhi met Qin Huaiyu and Princess Jinyang again, and introduced the two young girls who followed her. It was Qin Huaiyu and Princess Jinyang's second daughter, Hejing County Lord Qin Chen, and the younger one was the third daughter of the two, Yixing County Lord Qin Xu.Both are the daughters of two people, one is the princess and the other is the county master. Qin Zhao said that he could not understand the reason.

Princess Jinyang laughed again and said: "...Azhao has been home for the first time since he was born, and I don't know, besides these two sisters, you also have a big sister who is married now. Mother asked someone to send a letter to her husband's house, and let her come back to see you when she is free."

As for the elder sister Qin Qing, because she was the eldest daughter of Princess Jinyang, she was made Princess Hening after she was born, but Qin Zhao knew about it.It's just about getting married, because Qin Zhe didn't mention it before, Qin Zhao was a little curious, but he didn't know what kind of family a proud girl like He Ning would marry.

After some gossip, the old concubine naturally wanted to ask what happened a few years ago. The dignified wife of the Jiedu envoy's mansion, Mr. Lang and the girl, and the second wife and grandchildren who stood side by side with the mansion of the mansion disappeared inexplicably. There was no news for several years.At this mention, the old concubine couldn't help asking where their mother, the second lady, was.

When Qin Zhao asked, he also looked at Qin Zhe.

Others sat across from him, and he lowered his head, so naturally he couldn't notice it, but Qin Zhao, who was sitting beside him and was much shorter than him, noticed the icy coldness in his drooping eyelids.

But the icy cold disappeared without a trace after only a moment, and when he raised his head, his face was covered with sadness and resentment: "It's a long story, it's not because my grandson doesn't contact my family, it's really It is the grandson who has lost his memory in the past few years, and he has no idea what happened before, let alone the fact that the grandson is a descendant of the prince's mansion, even who he is and what his name is. Fortunately, the two A month ago, I accidentally kowtowed my head while riding a horse, but because I was lucky enough to remember my life experience, it happened that His Majesty announced that my grandson would return to Beijing to be enshrined, so I went home to recognize my ancestors. Going home after finishing the book can save my grandmother from worrying about it, but after a few years have passed, I am afraid that the letter will not explain clearly, so I will disturb my grandmother and uncle, thinking that I will come back these days after all, so I..."

"Then do you remember when you disappeared? What happened? And your mother..."

"Yes," Qin Zhe replied, because his mother was mentioned, Qin Zhe's voice was no longer as calm as before, "Grandmother, please listen to me."

Qin Zhao couldn't help pricking up his ears because the matter was related to him.

"At that time, my mother was not in good health and often had minor ailments. A Zhao's younger sister was seriously ill and fell into a coma. Afterwards, she recovered a little bit, but she was still lingering on the sick bed. It happened that an eminent monk settled down in the Puguang Temple outside the city. My mother heard that Having said that, I took sister Azhao and me to the courtyard to offer incense. Because my mother didn't want to bother teachers and mobs, she only brought ten guards and two maids and wives, and the journey was far away. Fearing that my sister's body would not be able to bear the bumps back and forth, we lived in the meditation room of the monastery together, but we didn't want to meet robbers at night, and all the family guards were killed. My mother and younger sister escaped, but because of the noise of the carriage, the thieves finally noticed us, and some said we were family members of the governor's mansion. After chasing after me, I went for dozens of miles. Later, I was forced to choose the dangerous way up the mountain, but I didn't want to fall down the mountain in the dark, and when my grandson woke up..."

"How about it, your mother..." At this point, the second lady did not come back with her. Although everyone knew the unexpected in their hearts, they still asked unwillingly.

"When the grandson woke up, his mother had already died. The grandson was also seriously injured at that time, and he didn't remember who he was at all. He only knew that the dead one must be his relatives, and he saw that his sister was also nearby. Fortunately, When she fell, her mother was protecting her younger sister, so although her younger sister was also seriously injured, she was only in a coma, not her life was injured. I had some strength to call for help, and was rescued to live. Then I begged the mountain man to bury my mother. Fortunately, the mountain man took me and my seriously injured sister back home. There is only a couple in his family, and they are very kind. Yes, and let my sister and I recuperate at his home. At that time, we were in a hurry to escape, and our bodies were not soft. Fortunately, my sister and I were wearing jade pendants, so we begged the Shanren couple, pawned them in the city, and exchanged them. Some money, invited Lang Zhong to grab the medicine, and my sister and I survived."

"It's a pity that my grandson lost his memory at that time, and his younger sister was only three years old. She was already ill. This catastrophe made me so frightened that I was dumbfounded all day long, and I couldn't say anything. The grandson originally thought , After a while, maybe I can remember the incident, and it will not be too late to find home at that time, but I don’t want to catch the strong man in the yamen as soon as I recover, and my grandson is arrested in the army. Later My grandson went into exile several times, and a year later, he came to Beiting Duhu Mansion. In the past few years, Tubo colluded with Turks and Uyghurs to repeatedly invade our borderland of David. Thanks to my father's careful teaching in Beiping , his grandson is outstanding in martial arts, and he was familiar with military books. His father often used his grandfather's deeds to teach his grandson. In marching and fighting, his grandson also found out some tricks. Most of the guards appreciated him and supported him from time to time. This autumn, when he fought against the Turks and the Uyghurs, his grandson led the army to defeat the two armies and made great contributions. The guard of the general asked the emperor for his favor and granted his grandson the official position of the military governor. This time when the grandson came back, he was enshrined in the court. It is also God's pity that the grandson cannot be reunited with his family, and he does not know where his roots are and where his family is. Unfortunately, on the eve of his return, he fell off the horse because of carelessness while riding a horse. There was nothing wrong with the man, he only kowtowed his head, and suddenly remembered everything. It was only... eight years before his grandson knew who he really was. All things cannot be controlled, and this has dragged on until today, making grandma remember these years, and grandma Wanwang forgives her grandson's crime of unfilial piety."

Hearing that the second daughter-in-law was dead, and how she died, the body is still in that remote mountain, the old concubine and Princess Jinyang were in tears. The concubine wept unceasingly, and naturally she also shed tears.

Although Qin Zhao knew that what Qin Zhe said was too much untrue, because although she had been in a semi-consciousness at the beginning, she was not really just a three-year-old baby who didn't understand anything.At that time, the reason why they escaped was definitely not because they were hunted down by Jie.And even if she did hear the sound of killing when she was half-drowned and half-awake, what she can be sure of is that someone chased them at first, but it definitely wasn't overnight. Long gone.

But she is also the person involved, although she was only three years old at the time, she heard it now, and naturally she also acted very sad, and cried loudly.

Even Qin Huaiyu, the side-by-side king, choked up when he heard it.

After crying for a long time, Princess Jinyang persuaded the old concubine: "Although my younger siblings are gone, God bless my son, these two children finally came back safely, and our azhe is only twenty this year, and we have celebrated the Three Armies Day Dushi, the whole court can't find the second one. After all, he was born in our Zanying family, and the mother should be lenient. If you feel sorry for this and hurt your body, how can you give up the two children, Zheer and Zhaoer? Wouldn't it be their fault?"

Qin Huaiyu also followed to persuade, Qin Zhe said: "Grandmother, don't be too sad, even if my mother knows that grandma is so sad, she doesn't want to, and if grandma really hurts her body because of it, it's just like what my aunt said. Isn’t it because of the grandson’s crime of unfilial piety, adding another class? Now that sister Zhao and I can go home, it is a happy event, and grandma should be happy.”

Qin Zhao also wiped away tears wisely, and then choked up and said, "Grandmother, don't be sad."

Only then did the old concubine cheer up. Seeing Qin Zhaosheng's picturesque eyebrows, his pair of phoenix eyes are even more beautiful, and the dead second daughter-in-law Shan Nianxiao, as if they had come out of the same mold, felt a burst of sadness in her heart, and Qin Zhao She hugged her into her arms and said straightly: "Poor child, since you have returned home, grandma won't make you suffer any more."

Gradually calming down, Qin Zhe talked about taking Qin Zhao back after taking some detours on the way back to Beijing.

The old concubine and Princess Jinyang are both chanting Buddha, and they are very grateful to the Shanren couple in their hearts. Just look at the child Qin Zhao's current appearance, his eyes are as bright as stars, and his expression is dignified and generous. Sihao is not like ordinary country children. She was in a state of embarrassment, and she knew that the family had treated her very well.

Then he talked about how to thank his benefactor in the future, Qin Zhe said with a smile: "The grandson has already thanked me, and I wanted to invite their husband and wife to my home. In the future, my grandson will treat me like a parent. Only the benefactor is used to living in the mountains. I didn't want to come with my grandson, so my grandson left more gold and silver, just hoping that they will live a better life in the future, and my grandson will often send people to visit in the future."

"It should be so. The most important thing to be a human being is to repay your kindness." The old concubine said, and then asked Qin Zhe, "Where is your father, can you hand over the letter?"

When the father of the siblings was mentioned, everyone in the room fell silent for a while.

Although Qin Zhao didn't know anything at the time, she was an adult soul after all, why didn't she know that their brother and sister were living outside and their mother died in an accident. It was definitely not as simple as Qin Zhe said?
So she can understand Qin Zhe's silence, but the rest of the Qin family also fell silent for a while after the old concubine asked this question, which is a bit interesting.

However, after Qin Zhe was silent, he showed great shame and said to the old concubine: "When my grandson recalled the past, the first thing he did was to inquire about the recent situation of his grandmother, uncle and aunt. Don't worry, it's just the father's side..."

Speaking of this, Qin Zhe showed a mocking smile that was full of joy and sadness.
