Chapter 321 Please sir
Before departure, Yang Fulai asked Huo Xi what to do with the boat of porcelain and brocade that he exchanged from Wu Youcai.
Both of these are extremely precious things. They didn't dare to put the storehouse on the other side of the shop, and were taken to Zhuangzi in Tangquan Town by Yang Fula.
"Put it on Zhuangzi's side first. Don't move for now."
"Do you want to take it to Ningbo, pick up the porcelain in Yuezhou, and sell it to the Fanren?"
Huo Xi thought for a while, then shook his head: "Leave it alone, I have some ideas. Let's just bring some sugar when we go to Ningbo."
Yang Fu nodded: "That's fine. I shipped all the collected sugar to Jiangjun Mountain. When are we going to refine sugar?"
"Just wait a few days."
After explaining about the shop, the next day, when Huo Nianxiu took a bath, Huo Xi took him, Yang Fu and Bao Kang who insisted on accompanying him, and the four went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.
Before arriving at Zhuangzi, I saw two men pulling a young woman. The woman tightly guarded the package in her arms and yelled at each other, but it was useless. The two men were pulling her arms and wanting to touch her. Cheeky.
Yang Fu became angry when he saw it, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage: "Stop!" he shouted and trotted over.
Huo Nian saw that he was about to jump, but before Huo Xi could move, Bao Kang carried him down, and the two of them followed Yang Fu and ran over.
The two men saw that someone was coming, and it was still in a carriage. They were worried that it was a nobleman, so they quickly let go of the woman and ran away.
"Thank you, brother, for your help." The woman saluted Yang Fu. Glancing at them, he avoided Yang Fu's gaze.
Huo Nian raised his head and smiled: "Sister, don't be afraid, we are good people. Do you live nearby? My uncle and I can take you home."
The woman smiled at Huo Nian: "I live in Zhuangzi in front."
"You live in the Zhuangzi in front? Then do you know a great Confucian named Qin Changzhi?" Yang Fu asked her, worrying that no one would lead the way.
The woman looked up at him, then glanced at Huo Nian and Bao Kang, and was about to speak.
Huo Xi also got out of the carriage and walked over: "Sister is from the Zhuangzi in front?"
The woman glanced at Huo Xi, nodded: "Yeah." He hesitated to speak, and just said: "I will take you there."
After speaking, she turned and left, Huo Xi and the others hurriedly followed behind her.
The woman led them into Zhuangzi, went to a small courtyard, opened the door and shouted into the house: "Grandfather, there are guests."
Uh, is this person Qin Changzhi's granddaughter? Huo Xi turned to look at her.
"Who is it?"
An old man's voice echoed in the room, and soon an old man came out, followed by a young man in his early teens.
Huo Xi thought, this should be Qin Changzhi's grandson named Qin Huaimin. The one who led them here was his second granddaughter, Qin Huaiyu.
"I met Mr. Qin, my little girl Huo Xi, this is my uncle Yang Fu, younger brother Huo Nian and a servant."
Huo Xi saluted him, Huo Nian and Yang Fu followed suit.
"Who are you?" The old man looked at them, and Qin Huaiyu also took care of her. It turned out that she was just like him, a little girl.
"We were introduced by Mr. Li Shimian, former Guozijian Jijiu. I was fortunate enough to be taught by him before, and I studied under him for two years. Now my younger brother is at the age of schooling. I got Mr. Li's advice and came to find Mr. Qin."
After Huo Xi finished speaking, Qin Changzhi understood.
In Li Shimian's letter to him before, he said that he had tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships over the years, and only a young disciple who had taught him in the past thought of his family and gave him money and things, but he could not repay him. Mr. Xun, so I asked myself here.
Before Huo Nian came, he was told by his sister to take him out to find his husband, and told him to be obedient and sensible. Seeing his husband sizing him up, he took two steps forward.
"Hi sir, my name is Huo Nian. I'm almost six years old. I'm studying in the Boya Shushu now. I've finished the Three Character Classic and I'm learning the Thousand Character Classic."
Qin Changzhi nodded secretly when he saw that although the child was young, he looked smart and quick-witted. Let him recite the Three Character Classic.
Huo Nian put his hands behind his back and began to recite the book shaking his head.
Qin Changzhi nodded while listening.
After Huo Nian finished memorizing, he quizzed him a few more questions, feeling satisfied. Looking at Huo Xi: "You want to send your brother to me?"
Huo Xi thought for a while, and said, "It's not impossible to send Huo Nian to Zhuangzi to study with Mr. Zhuangzi. But I still have two thoughts in my mind."
"you say."
"I want to take my husband to the city. My family has a house on the other side of Mochou Lake. My husband and his family can live there. My husband can be a teacher at the Boya Book School and teach him during the day. He is not the only one. Live with Nian'er at night, but you can give him advice in private."
"Young brother is still young, it's time to get in touch with the great world, let him study in an outside academy, usually with classmates, husband, and other people, you can learn some ways of life, let him go through some wind and rain, experience events, compare It is much better for him to study alone in the house. This is one, and the second is that if the husband does not want to become a teacher in Boya Shushu, he can live with my brother in our house in the city. It is more convenient to travel than Zhuangzi. "
Qin Changzhi looked up at her leisurely, and his two grandchildren also looked up at her.
Qin Huaiyu even glanced at his younger brother who was shrinking behind his grandfather.
Qin Changzhi did not agree, only said that he would consider it.
Not able to get his promise, Huo Xi felt a little regretful. In the end, he had no choice but to say goodbye to his family, and took Huo Nian and others back to the city.
After sending the man away, Qin Huaiyu went to the house to look for his grandfather.
Seeing that his grandfather was in a daze, he opened his mouth and then closed it again.
"Yu'er, what do you want to say?"
"Does grandfather want to take that child?"
"That kid is clever. He was asked by an old friend again, and his grandfather will accept him." He had received a letter from Li Shimian two days earlier.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimian would know his whereabouts, so he asked someone to deliver the letter to him.
From this point of view, although Li Shimian's family has been exiled, they still have some contacts in the capital. Although his family has not been exiled, but now the old woman is gone, and the son and daughter-in-law are gone. His Qin family used to be a prosperous family, but now only two young grandchildren are left by his side.
Now the three grandparents are huddled on the granddaughter's dowry Zhuangzi, unable to move, and it depends on the face of the person.
If the eldest granddaughter hadn't been pregnant at the beginning and later gave birth to a son, life would have been even more difficult.
Qin Changzhi was thinking about it when he heard his granddaughter ask him: "Then grandpa wants that child to live in Zhuangzi?"
Qin Changzhi glanced at her: "Yu'er said what should grandfather do?"
Qin Huaiyu bit her lower lip and said, "Grandpa, can we go back to the city?"
"Go back to the city, do you want to go back to the city?" Qin Changzhi was a little surprised that his granddaughter wanted to go back to the city.
Back then when his family property was confiscated, his family was demoted to common people, and he lived in the dowry house of his eldest granddaughter. The grandchildren went to the streets and were ridiculed by their former friends. The two children cried and quarreled, and they never wanted to stay in the city anymore. , and lived in this village.
Now the kid wants to go back to town?
"Grandfather, that Huo Xi is right. My younger brother still goes to the academy to study so that he can learn some ways of the world and experience things. We can't stay with him for the rest of our lives. He has to learn more and watch everything by himself, and learn to solve things by himself. He has always been Nested in Zhuangzi, the whole person is dumbfounded, even if you have learned a lot of knowledge in the future, when you go outside, you don't understand the world, how can you gain a foothold?"
Qin Changzhi was silent, then raised his head suddenly: "You went to the town to sell handkerchiefs today, but you were bullied?"
I don’t know if there is a third update, if not, I will add an update tomorrow
