hairpin family

Chapter 77

what happened?

If he really wanted to seek justice for his mother and his brother and sister, with the momentum of shouldering the prince's mansion, and the power of the three kingdoms of Vietnam, Luying and Pingqinghou's mansion, wouldn't it be clear in a few years?What's more, they disappeared for only one month, and Qin Huaiyong married the princess of Murong's family in Anxi Dufu Mansion. There was something abnormal during this period, and they really didn't notice it at all?
Now he is asking him with this solemn expression, of course he doesn't know at all?

Qin Zhe sneered secretly, shook his head pretending to be blank, and replied respectfully: "After my grandson got the memories of the past, I was also very surprised. It is said that in the boundary of Beiping, no ordinary person would dare to touch the family members of the Governor's Mansion in Beiping, but "Speaking of this, Qin Zhe sighed, "When I first went to the monastery, my mother didn't want to make too much noise, so there was no banner of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion on the sedan chair, and the guards only brought more than ten people , maybe those gangsters don’t know about it, and it’s possible.”

Seeing that Qin Huaiyu and the old concubine had enlightened expressions on their faces, Qin Zhe said in shame: "After my grandson recovered his memory, I originally wanted to investigate the events of the year, but I was in a hurry to go to Beijing because of the sacred order." Mian Sheng, it took a while to pick up A Zhao, so it was delayed." Then he looked surprised, "Could it be that several years have passed, and the father has not caught the bandit yet? If that's the case Now that my grandson has returned home, I will have to trouble Uncle and Grandmother. After all, my grandson will return to Beiting soon, and he is busy with military affairs. I'm afraid..."

Qin Huaiyong on the one side was relieved. He didn't know that there must be another story behind the incident. It only involved his own brother. If something unfavorable to Qin Huaiyu was found out, it would be impossible to reconcile with Mr. Chen. Luo's old national bus waited, so it was only cited for several years without publication.Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Your father got the news of your disappearance, arrested the gangsters the next day, and executed them all. It doesn't mean that you have suffered these years in vain."

Is this why he is not allowed to investigate further?So why did grandma ask the phrase "what's going on?"

Qin Zhe sneered in his heart.

The reason why grandma asked that was because she still harbored guilt towards the Shan family back then, and she couldn't bear to think about the disaster of Shan's death, right?And this calamity is probably related to her old man's own son.

He never really counted on them, though.

He can understand his uncle's mood.After all, if the matter really had something to do with Qin Huaiyong, then Qin Huaiyong was a descendant of the Prince's House, and it was the Prince's face that would be hurt in the end.The Qin family is already jealous in the court, so how can they directly bring the blame to those people who are ready to move in the dark.What's more, when the truth is found out, there will be suspicions with Lu Guogong and Yue Guogong's mansion, which is definitely not what my uncle wants.

What's more, now Qin Huaiyong's wife is the princess of Anxi Duhufu.With the Anxi Protectorate in the middle, things are no longer that simple.

One must know that Qin Huaiyong, as the military envoy of Beiping, took over the princess of the Murong family in Anxi Duhu. This is already a fear in the present. Once he finds Qin Huaiyong's fault, he will use Qin Huaiyong if he wants to. However, once Qin Huaiyong has no use value, it will not only be Qin Huaiyong himself who will suffer bad luck at that time, but he will also be injured if he stands shoulder to shoulder with the palace.

As the current side-by-side king, how could Qin Huaiyu watch such a thing that hurt the fundamentals of the palace happen without stopping it?
Fortunately, he doesn't expect anything from the palace, as long as the grandmother still has the love of the Shan family's uncle in her heart, and the place of the mother she had watched grow up, and the guilt of not being able to seek justice for her mother, at least She will protect Qin Zhao sincerely, and that is enough.

Unfortunately, they all guessed the reason right, but they guessed the process wrong.

And he himself never thought that it would be the end of his mother's death.

Qin Zhe sneered in his heart, but his face looked rejoicing: "Those thieves have been dealt with, and my mother can feel at ease under Jiuquan. Otherwise, Ah Zhao and I are really ashamed of our mother."

While talking, I heard a noise outside: "But my grandson and granddaughter are back?"

The sound was extremely loud, like the sound of a urn drum.

Qin Huaiyu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. To be honest, he also felt ashamed of this young and promising nephew and niece.But what can he do if it involves the rise and fall of the family?I can only feel sorry for these two children.

Fortunately, someone came over at this moment and relieved him.

Hearing the sound from outside, he hurriedly got up from the couch, and said with a smile, "It must be your grandpa Lu Guogong. Ah Zhe, come with uncle to meet him."

Qin Zhe also got up quickly.

Before reaching the door, I saw an imposing fat old man in brocade clothes but with white hair rushing in, shouting: "Old sister-in-law, I heard that my granddaughter has returned safely?"

Because of his loud voice, the whole room was buzzing, Qin Zhe thought to himself, this person should be Lu Guogong and his old man.Hastily stepped forward and saluted: "My grandnephew Azhe has met Grandpa Chen."

"This is Qin Huaiyong's son?" Lu Guogong asked Qin Huaiyu, but at the same time he stretched out his hand to support Qin Zhe, "Quickly get up and ask Grandpa to take a good look."

Seeing Qin Zhe's extraordinary beauty, elegant and heroic, he was even better than his father Qin Huaiyong, so he couldn't help boasting: "Look at this kid, I really like him, he's even better than his father, and he's so handsome. He has the style of my old brother who passed away."

The old concubine then leaned back from the couch, and said with a smile: "Don't praise him, please sit down and talk, my lord, why don't you see my old girl?"

Only then did Duke Lu let go of Qin Zhe's hand, and said with a smile: "When the man who delivered the letter said that the two children have returned, how can I sit still with your old girl? Then I rushed to see , she is old, how can I have quick hands and feet, no, I will take a few steps first, and the old lady will be accompanied by Her Highness the Princess, and it is time to come."

While speaking, he sat down according to the order of the elders.

The more the Duke of Lu looked at Qin Zhe, the more he felt that the child had the demeanor of a grandfather, and he liked it even more. He said to Qin Zhe, "Where's your sister?"

"Azhao was called by sisters Axu and Achen to play in the garden. My nephew and grandson went to find his sister to visit Grandpa Chen."

He was about to get up, but was held down by Lu Guogong: "Where do you want to go? Tell the maids to bring them here quickly. Your grandma Qin was crying and laughing happily when she heard that your brother and sister Ping's family came home. .”

The old lady of the Duke of Lu was surnamed Qin, and she was also the daughter of a general in the previous dynasty.

After hearing this, Qin Zhe took the opportunity to sit down.

The old concubine's personal maid, Zhi Zi, who was guarding outside, didn't need to order, she had already gone to the garden.

Sure enough, as soon as Duke Lu's words fell, Princess Jinyang had already led an old lady full of jewels, luxurious clothes, and a rich figure into the house.

"What about our granddaughter and grandnephew?"

Sure enough, they were two old couples, their voices, demeanor and even tone were exactly the same, which diluted the original sentimentality in the room a lot.

The old concubine stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Come on, old sister, sit with the old sister-in-law."

Pointing to Qin Zhe again, he said, "This child is my poor grandson, Ah Zhe, come and meet your grandma Qin." Then he said, "His sister, A Zhao, was called by that girl A Xu to pick flowers in the garden. Go, come in a while."

Wiping her tears, the old lady of Lu Guogong sat down beside the old princess with a smile, and sighed: "It's good to be back. When I heard this, I felt both happy and anxious. I couldn't wait any longer, so I just talked to him." Grandpa ran over together. Please don't be offended by the old sister-in-law."

"It's because you are concerned about it." The old concubine smiled.

Princess Jinyang has already retreated and ordered someone to serve tea, knowing that when the two old people come, they will definitely have dinner at home in the evening, and the other houses that have been notified will also have people coming soon, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people at night , Busy to arrange dinner.

When Qin Chen led Qin Xu and Qin Zhao into the house, before Qin Zhao could salute, Mrs. Qin pulled Qin Zhao into her arms and said with a choked voice, "My poor child."

Since it was another bitter parting, Qin Zhe picked up the important things that he had just said to Qin Huaiyu and the old husband, and said it briefly.

In fact, before coming to the palace, Duke Lu and his wife had already heard the news of the death of their goddaughter Shan Nian from the steward who reported the news to the palace. She couldn't stop crying. At the beginning, she and Qin Zhao's grandmother Shan Ying were very close, coupled with the guilt towards the Shan family, so she really raised Shan Nian as her own daughter.

Originally thought that Shan Nian was married to the second son of the Qin family, and the two families were good friends, and the Qin family could not treat her well, but he didn't want to die in a foreign land without knowing why after a few years of giving birth to his daughter. How not to be sentimental?
However, they were originally suspicious about the disappearance of Shan Nian and the two children, and they had been secretly investigating for two years, but they couldn't find it, and with the Qin family around, they couldn't investigate too much, so they could do nothing. Hands, seeing Qin Zhe's reservations at the moment, he knew that the matter was not simple, but they looked at the palace side by side, so it was hard to get to the bottom of it. Although Lu Guogong was angry in his heart, he was a rough man. Those who are sensitive, in this case, have to endure it.

On the contrary, Mrs. Qin wiped her tears and sighed, took Qin Zhao's hand, and said, "It's good to come back, your mother is under the nine springs, knowing that you are safe, and you can rest in peace. Don't worry, since we are back home, we will always treat you well." Yes, I won’t make you suffer any more. You can stay in the palace for a few days, and I’ll send someone to pick you up in a few days, and you can stay at our house for a few days. There are also some boys and girls in our family who just happen to accompany you Have fun."

"Tell grandma to remember." Qin Zhao nodded with tears in his eyes.

Old Mrs. Qin saw that she was obedient and sensible, and she was really beautiful. When she called out to her grandmother, she felt a little more pain for Qin Zhao in her heart.Thinking that Qin's second boy married a bride and gave birth to a pair of children, besides the resentment in his heart, he also added some intolerance towards Qin Zhao, and even looked at Qin Zhe with soft and kind eyes.

Qin Zhe just mentioned a few words in secret, and then heard Qin Zhao call Mrs. Qin's grandmother and Chen Guogong's grandfather, and was very satisfied with Qin Zhao's cleverness.

After talking for a while, people from other prefectures also came.The old British Duke has passed away, and the new British Duke Xu Zan is not in Beijing, but the new British Duke and wife Qi Shi.However, the Duke of Yue's mansion said that the old man of the Duke of Yue went to the village outside the city to relax, and the person who came was the wife of the eldest son, Mrs. Wei.The old Lord Hou of Pingqinghou's mansion has also passed away, and the new Pingqing Hou Qi Yuanren and his wife Zhang are here.

Qin Zhe and Qin Zhao greeted everyone and talked again.

When they heard that Qin Zhe was actually the Jiedu envoy who had defeated the Uighurs and Tubo, and now Shang Tianchang, who was returning to Beijing to face the saint, he was very surprised.

Qin Zhe couldn't help but say Yuanwei, which had been said twice before, again concisely.

Everyone praised Qin Zhe's talent as a young man, saying that if you win, you are your father.

The families were old friends, and the British wife Qi's wife is the sister of Marquis Pingqing, and the younger generations of the families are also married, so they are very close to each other.Coupled with the fact that the grandchildren of the Qin family returned home safely, it was considered a happy event that fell from the sky, so they chatted for a long time without realizing it, and when the maid came into the house to light up, Princess Jinyang also sent someone to come, It was said that dinner was prepared in the flower hall, and the family members realized that it was getting dark.

The old concubine smiled and said to the nanny who came to pass the message: "Go and tell the princess, these few are close relatives, and it is very troublesome to toss back and forth. My room is quite spacious, and it is enough to bring the meals here." Cheng. We are the family of military generals, and we are close relatives, so we don’t talk too much about it, but there is a lively place in this hut, and we seem to be closer.”

Everyone naturally agreed.

From time to time, some servants moved a few low chairs into the main hall of Rongshou Residence, but within the time of a stick of incense, they had been placed neatly, and they leaned against the corner to smoke the incense burner, and then inserted a few goblets for sister Qin Zhao. The various flower branches folded by the three of them have a warm fragrance and a dark fragrance floating, the doors and windows are open, and the evening wind in autumn is also pleasant, it is a scene of joy and peace.

Therefore, most of the banquets at that time used a food-sharing system. Although the main hall of the Rongshou Residence where the old princess lived was spacious, there were six or seven dining tables on each side of the opposite side, which were all in one place.

As soon as it was set up here, the maids in gorgeous dresses had already entered in a row, setting up dishes and wine one by one.There are so many beautiful things in eyes, and the dishes look extremely beautiful. It is obvious that Princess Jinyang put her heart into this family banquet.The old concubine also led everyone out from the side hall.

The old concubine sits in the middle as the chief, and the rest are respected by the old Duke of Lu and the old lady of Qin, and the left is respected, and they sit on the left hand of the old concubine in turn.In turn, there are the British Duke's wife, Yue Guogong's wife, and Ping Qinghou and his wife.

On the right are Qin Huaiyu, Princess Jinyang and several children.

As soon as he raised his chopsticks, he saw an old man in fine clothes, wrapped in the evening wind like a loose body, crossed the hall door, and stepped into the hall. It was clearly a warm autumn, but it made people feel that when he entered the house, he brought a burst of cold Qi.
