Chapter 76 Surprise and Joy
Princess Jinyang got up on the couch, and was stopped by Qin Zhe: "Your Highness, there is no need to set up another yard for my nephew. This time, my nephew returned to Beijing because of the emperor's order, and because he brought his relatives with him. The guards, hundreds of followers, need to be stationed in the big camp according to the court regulations, and my nephew also needs to live in the big camp with the sergeants. When I enter the palace, my nephew will take a few more days off, When I come back, I will do my filial piety in front of my grandmother for a few days."

Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "Auntie, don't you know that you are going to be stationed in the barracks? You are in a special situation this time. I will enter the palace tomorrow morning and ask His Majesty to ask you to stay at home. If not, your grandmother How can you be willing to part with your uncle? Presumably, His Majesty will also miss you for allowing you to live at home for the past few years. That's all for the matter."

Qin Zhe knew that this princess of Jinyang was always the same.Because he is deeply favored by the emperor and empress, even in the palace, Jinyang, the most powerful princess among the princesses, is also a person who promises everything, and he is not worried about Qin Zhao. If he can live at home, he can take care of Qin Zhao One or two, when he leaves Beijing and returns to Beiting Dufu Mansion, if his grandmother keeps Qin Zhao behind, he can rest assured.

It's not that he never thought about taking Qin Zhao to Beiting Dufu Mansion and keeping it by his side.Just thinking about the climate there, the yellow sand is raging all year round, the sun is hot and the wind is strong, and the ground is dug for a house.For half a year, I have to stay in the house and cannot go out, and Tubo, Uyghur, and Turkic attacks from time to time, small wars continue, and big wars often occur, so I stopped this thought.

He had promised his mother that if he wanted Ah Zhao to live the best life, how could he be willing to let her suffer that suffering with him?
Besides, regardless of whether Ah Zhao is also the granddaughter of the royal family, as long as there is mother's love, grandmother will definitely protect Ah Zhao. Even if you can come to the palace in the capital, Ah Zhao was only three years old at the time, so what did he know?Those over there will only take the risk of attacking her unless they are full and have nothing to do.

The most important thing now is that he wants Princess Jinyang to see his usefulness. Some things need to be discussed in advance, so that one day in the future, when Qin Huaiyong has to bring Murong back to the capital to enter When he was in the palace, Princess Jinyang would help him protect Ah Zhao.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhe thanked Princess Jinyang with a smile.

When Princess Jinyang went out to sort out trivial matters, the old concubine asked Qin Zhe when she would pick up the deceased Second Lady Shan Nian's coffin and return home.

Qin Zhe replied: "The grandson should bring his mother back this time, but because the time for returning to court is fixed, it is a big deal to bring back his mother's coffin. The grandson is young, so I'm afraid it won't work well. He only took Azhao to go home with me. This matter... Lu Guogong is the mother's adoptive father, and his mother grew up in Lu Gonggong's mansion. Therefore, regarding the matter of taking mother's coffin back to the hometown, the grandson thought, he should also ask Duke Lu's government what it means."

Hearing his answer like this, the old princess was somewhat surprised.I couldn't help but twitch my eyebrows.

Seeing that the old mother was silent, Qin Huaiyu was obviously the same as himself, and was a little puzzled about the intention of Qin Zhe's words, so he said, "Of course, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, the Duke of Lu, are going to ask. Your aunt will My son must have sent people to the two mansions to talk about it. You just came back. When you have seen His Majesty, when you have time, you can take Azhao to the two mansions to meet the two princes, that is, the British mansion and Heping Qing You should also go to the Hou Mansion."

Mother Shan Nian is the adopted daughter of Lord Chen of the Duke of Lu's mansion, and Lord Luo of the Duke of Yue's mansion treats this old man's daughter like his own daughter. The two families couldn't be more close. Relationship.Although the British government and Pingqinghou's mansion are separated by one floor, and Mr. Xu Laoguo of the British government and Pingqinghou's Mr. Qi passed away two years ago, but Mr. Xu and Mr. Qi are still alive. Every now and then, I always think about the old friend's love, and I also take good care of Qin Zhao's mother Shan Nian in the past.

Therefore, these companies should really go around.

Even if Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything, Qin Zhe would definitely go for Qin Zhao's future.

"Uncle said so." Qin Zhe respectfully replied.

Don't wait for the coffin Ling who received the order to read back.Qin Huaiyu said to Qin Zhe again: "Your uncle has been released for a few years and went to Yangzhou to serve as the governor. I'm afraid your uncle and nephew will not see you this time. You write a letter tomorrow, and I will send someone to Yangzhou When you first heard the news of your disappearance, your grandmother was sick and went away soon. Your uncle and aunt were also very sad. You go to write a letter and tell the two elders that you have returned safely and are still young. Because, being the Jiedu Envoy of Beiting Protectorate Mansion, your uncle and aunt must be very happy to hear this."

After hearing this, Qin Zhe was surprised and delighted.

Qin Zhe's biological mother, Qin Huaiyu's first wife, was originally the daughter of the Pei family, a family that has been around for hundreds of years. At the end of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos. He became king and fought several battles with David, so even though he surrendered to David in the end, he was suspected of being king because he had once proclaimed himself king, which was of no use.

No one in the Pei family has a prominent position in the court now, but the Pei family was originally a great family for hundreds of years. Although it has now declined, no one can change the position of the head of the five surnames of the family.For hundreds of years, there have been countless civil servants and military generals, scholars and celebrities, queens and concubines.There are five great clans in the dynasty, and they are honored as prime ministers. If you can marry one of the five surnames as your wife, it will be a great honor.Therefore, Qin Huai used to marry the first daughter of the Pei family, the head of the five surnames, and envied how many dignitaries in the dynasty.

When it came to Uncle Qin Zhe's generation, not only Qin Zhe's uncle Pei Yan and several cousins ​​gradually showed their talents, but also the descendants of the other families of Pei's family were also talented.Moreover, it has been decades since the founding of the country. After two generations of emperors, David’s country was strong and the people rich, and he ruled the world. The Pei family has not threatened David at all in the past. Now His Majesty loves talents the most, the son of the Pei family , which was slowly reused.

As Yangzhou is an important economic center in the country, not everyone can be a governor. After several years of experience, Pei Yan returned to Beijing to serve as a certainty.

However, Qin Zhe went to Beiping Mansion since he was a child, thousands of miles away from Beijing, and then drifted away. He only knew that his maternal ancestral family was one of the five prominent surnames in Shanxi, "Xianma Peishi", but he didn't know that his uncle is now It's not what it used to be.

After hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, no matter how calm Qin Zhe was, he couldn't help asking happily: "Uncle is already the governor of Yangzhou?"

Qin Huaiyu said with a smile: "Although it has only been a few years, the Pei clan of your maternal ancestor's family is no longer the declining nobles of the past, and now there are many talents. Your uncle is now a royal family, and he will probably be able to return to Beijing to take up his post soon. It's a pity that you are working in Beiting Protectorate, so you can't see each other. But you and Brother Pei are close relatives, uncles and nephews, even if you can't meet, this relationship won't change."

"My nephew met my uncle when I was young. At that time, my uncle brought Mingjing to Beijing. My mother once told me that among the uncles in my grandfather's family, this uncle who was a direct relative was the most talented. At that time Although my nephew is young, he can still remember his uncle's appearance. It's just that after all these years, I don't know what happened to my uncle and the others."

Speaking of Pei Yan, Qin Zhe naturally thought of his deceased biological mother.Although the words are warm, but the heart is full of resentment for a while.

He was a person who had galloped on the battlefield for several years, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless people. Due to the change in his heart, the cold air on his body instantly dispersed.

Whether it is the old concubine or Qin Huaiyu in this room, they are all people who have experienced wars, big and small, and are very familiar with this invisible killing spirit, and feel suffocated for a while.

Except Qin Chen and Chun Xu, who had been sitting there silently listening to their conversation, didn't feel anything, even Qin Zhao felt that the surroundings were cold in vain.

Fortunately, she knelt down next to Qin Zhe, quickly stretched out her hand to cover Qin Zhe's, and asked with a crisp smile, pretending to be very interested, "Is uncle in Yangzhou? I heard from brother that Yangzhou The most prosperous thing is, brother, a few days ago, didn’t he say that when he was free in the future, he wanted to take Azhao to Yangzhou by big boat? If uncle was there, wouldn’t we even have a place to live?”

Her voice still has a clear and delicate childlike voice, and there is a curious and innocent smile on her face, but her eyes are full of concern.

The warmth from the pair of small hands covering his hands seemed to warm Qin Zhe's heart in an instant.The fierce spirit in my heart can't help disappearing.

Qin Zhe grinned, held Qin Zhao's hand behind his back, pinched Qin Zhao's nose with the other hand, and jokingly said, "Ah Zhao just remembers to play. When did brother lie to you? In the future, brother I’m free, I’ll definitely take you there to play.”

Interrupted by her brother and sister, although the old concubine and Qin Huaiyu felt strange, they also laughed.

Qin Xu, the magistrate of Yixing County, who had been silent all this time, also jokingly said, "Brother Azhe, you can't just take Sister Azhao, I'm going too. There's also my sister. She definitely wants to go too."

Qin Xu is already 14 years old. Although the Cold Food Festival is over after the new year, it will be her birthday gift, but she is still innocent and childish. Hejing Princess Qin Chen couldn't help giving Qin Xu a blank look, and smiled. Said: "Do you think I only know how to play like you?"

After speaking, he felt that Qin Zhao, who had just said that he was going to Yangzhou, was also shocked by these words, so he glanced at Qin Zhe, and then smiled at Qin Zhao: "Sister Ah Zhao, grandma, father and brother Ah Zhe are talking, how about How about I take you outside to play? To the west of grandma's yard is the plum garden. Although there are only a few plum blossoms and they haven't bloomed yet, the roses all over the wall are blooming just right. Why don't we go and pick a few? Mother just sent someone to help you clean up the house, how about we insert into your house in a while?"

Qin Zhao didn't want to go.

She also wanted to hear what Qin Zhe, Qin Huaiyu and the old concubine had to say.But she also knew that with them around, the three adults probably wouldn't say anything important.Qin Xu is so enthusiastic, she will spend time in the palace in the future, naturally this cousin will not be offended, Qin Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

Qin Chen liked his cousin, whom he had never met, very much. Seeing that she agreed, he got up and pulled Qin Zhaolai up again.Saluted to the old concubine, Qin Huaiyu and Qin Zhe: "Brother Ah Zhe, please talk to your father and grandmother, I will take younger sister Azhao to play for a while."

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Qin Xu couldn't sit still. Although she was very curious about this cousin who appeared out of nowhere, sitting here and listening to the adults say something she didn't understand was really boring and busy. Then he got up: "Second sister, I'm going too."

But the old concubine didn't stop them, she just called her maid, Zhizi, to come in: "These three girls are going to the plum garden, it's not winter yet, and the garden hasn't been tidied up yet, so follow along and watch, don't tell them to kowtow Come across it, it’s not too late to take A Zhao to change clothes, and then go play.”

After a few girls left the door, the old concubine's always kind face turned into a dignified expression. She glanced at Qin Huaiyu and saw Qin Huaiyu nodding her head. Tell the truth to your grandmother. What happened when you fled and scattered? Your mother really fell to her death?"
