Chapter 126 The Turning Point for the Qin Family Lies In...

The moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Near the northwest border.

Qin Bohong and his group sat crowded at the door of the woodshed, hugging their knees and looking up at the sky lanterns in the sky.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival."

During the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year in Da'an, people usually release sky lanterns to pray for blessings and wishes to express their worries.

When they walked to the post station and saw the travelers at the post station, they remembered that it was Mid-Autumn Festival. After settling down, they also exchanged the little silver they had for a few meat buns, just as a festival.

"Dad, I miss my mother." Qin Mingyan leaned on Qin Bohong's arms, and the father and son kept each other warm.

Qin Bohong hugged him and said, "Dad knows that you have suffered."

He touched the child's arm under the cotton coat, which was very thin. Looking at his side, it was also dirty and dusty, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

"The child is not suffering." Qin Mingyan quickly looked up, saw his father's eyes, and lowered his head again: "I just miss home a little." Home, where do they have a home?

If the old house counts, then it is also a home, but they don't know if they will have a chance to go back.

Qin Mingmu, who was sitting not far from them, looked at the warmth of his uncle and cousin, and his eyes were filled with envy. Looking at Qin Boguang who was half-closed beside him, he involuntarily moved closer.

Qin Boguang was startled, opened his eyes, saw the eldest son, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Qin Mingmu said: "If Dad is tired, why not go to the woodshed to sleep? It's windy here."

Qin Boguang was a little tired. These days, they, the grown men, had to take care of the old man, the two little ones, and deal with the prisoners who were exiled together and were eyeing them.

Just before, they got thick cotton clothes to keep warm, which attracted covetousness. They wanted to rob them, and several people had to fight back. They fought, and their faces are still swollen now.

The high-intensity vigilance and fatigue also made Qin Boguang physically and mentally exhausted, but Dad wanted to watch the sky lanterns, so he accompanied him.

"Dad, big brother, there's a letter from home." Qin Boqing ran over quickly with a tray of oil paper packages and a gourd, holding a thick letter in his hand.

When everyone heard this, they all stood up immediately.

"Dad." Qin Bohong held the old man's hand.

"Go into the house." The old man suppressed his excitement and turned to go into the woodshed.

The woodshed was only illuminated by a wind lamp, which was begged for by all means. If you want to sleep, you have to blow it out to avoid it from being overturned and causing a fire.

A group of six people went into the woodshed.

Qin Boqing put down the things in his hand first and said, "Dad, I was outside just now, helping a group of merchants unload goods. They rewarded me with a pot of wine and a bag of moon cakes."

Qin Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, looking at the package, and seeing Qin Boguang open it, the moon cakes with oily luster and fragrance appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel jealous.

Looking at his two grandsons, both of them were swallowing their saliva, he said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, share a piece, and we can celebrate the festival together."

Qin Boguang smiled and broke a mooncake into two pieces, half for each of them, and opened the wine pot. The aroma of wine gushed out, and he took a sip first, his eyes lit up, and said, "It's Shaodaozi. Dad, you also take a sip, warm up your stomach and body first."

Qin Yuanshan took it and took a sip, then passed it to his eldest son, and said to Qin Boqing, "Hurry up and see what the letter from home says?"

Qin Boqing couldn't wait any longer, took a bite of the mooncake, put it on his lap, opened the letter, and began to read. As he read, his throat choked and his hands shook.

Qin Yuanshan was shocked when he saw this, and took it without thinking and read it quickly.

"Dad, what did you say?" Qin Boguang leaned over.

Qin Yuanshan smiled and said, "It's good news." He handed the letter to Qin Bohong and pointed at Qin Boqing and said, "You said that you, as a father, are still so shocked."

"Dad, I, I am a father again. Gu gave me a pair of sons. I have sons now." Qin Boqing jumped up and ran around in the woodshed, shouting and laughing. Suddenly, he squatted down and cried out loudly: "The children were born in July, not yet full-term and twins. She didn't mention it in the letter. I know it must be dangerous. I am useless. I was not with them. I am sorry for her."

He held his head and patted it hard a few times.

Qin Mingmu quickly pulled his hand down and said, "Uncle San, you don't want this to happen. Aunt San gave birth to two little brothers. No matter how hard it was, mother and child are safe. It's worth being happy. You should take care of yourself."

Qin Boqing raised his head, wiped his tears and snot, and smiled, "Happy, I'm happy in my heart."

Qin Bohong smiled and said, "Third brother, congratulations, a pair of twins, this is a great blessing for our Qin family."

Qin Boqing scratched his head excitedly again and said, "By the way, Gu said that it was the eldest brother's eldest daughter Xi'er who helped her deliver the baby and saved the three of them. Brother, how come Xi'er can also be a doctor?"

Qin Bohong was also a little confused. His eldest daughter left home at a young age, and he was very unfamiliar with it. The affairs of the harem have always been Since the wife has been in charge of the family, he has been busy in the officialdom, so naturally he doesn't know much about her affairs, so he said with some embarrassment: "I know very little either."

Qin Yuanshan said at this time: "He should have learned it from Taoist Chi Yuan."

Several people looked over and asked curiously: "Isn't that a Taoist? Can he also do medicine?"

"Nine out of ten Taoists are doctors, and medicine is one of the five arts of Xuanmen. It's not surprising that he knows it. When he took the girl away, he said that her fate was strange, but her heart was strange and upright, and she was born a Xuanmen person." Qin Yuanshan thought of the past and said: "In fact, I won't hide it from you. Back then, he also told the Qin family a fortune telling, saying that our family will have a disaster within ten years, and only the west girl can turn the tide."

Everyone was shocked, they had never heard of it before.

"The divination is too vague. Even though I have an old relationship with him, I can't believe it completely. At that time, Xi Yatou's body was also weak and she would fall ill from time to time. Old Master Chi Yuan came and said those words, I simply asked him to take Xi Yatou back to his old house to raise her." Qin Yuanshan told what happened that year, and then said: "Seeing that ten years have passed and the so-called disaster has not come for a long time, I just assumed that he was not right. So I let my guard down, who would have thought... Well, it's a blessing, not a curse, it's me who has caused trouble for the Qin family and you."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Qin Bohong said: "There is no one who is implicated and not implicated. We are all members of the Qin family. We are both prosperous and devastated. You must not say that."

"Yes, grandfather, fortunately it is us men who are exiled. The female relatives can all return to their old homes and have a place to stay. Although life is more difficult, at least the whole family is intact." Qin Mingmu also said at this time. Said something.

Qin Yuanshan was quite pleased and said approvingly: "You are sensible."

Qin Mingmu was a little excited at the praise and secretly clenched his fists.

Qin Yuanshan added: "The ten-year catastrophe has come, our Qin family has indeed collapsed, and the Gu family was frightened and gave birth prematurely. It happened that it was Xi Yatou who saved it. What the old man said is true. Now it may not be what he said, The turning point for our Qin family lies in this girl Xi'er!"

Qin Mingyan took a small bite of the mooncake and was a little surprised when he heard this. His eldest sister, if things turn around, will be the lucky star of the Qin family. I don't know what she looks like or what her temperament is like.

Qin Bohong said, "Dad, Xi'er is just a girl. If you say this is a turning point for our family, I'm afraid it's not as good as it should be. Maybe Chi Yuan is trying to trick you?"

"I hope he is coaxing me." Qin Yuanshan bit the moon cake, chewed it carefully and swallowed it, and said: "Look at our exile, although it was bitter, it was smoother than those people, and more importantly Having received help from a noble person twice is like being entrusted by someone from somewhere. Who could it be?"

"Could they be our in-laws?" Qin Boguang asked.

"If they were in-laws, they would have already revealed their identity." Qin Yuanshan sighed: "We are almost in the northwest, but we haven't seen the in-laws and friends. I'm afraid they are also avoiding suspicion."

Everyone was silent.

Qin Boguang gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It must be that demon concubine who is causing trouble in the capital and wants to kill them all."

"Second brother!" Qin Yuanshan scolded and said, "You have to restrain your mouth. We are in a state of poverty now. If someone catches us again, it will be even more difficult in the northwest. Your father and I are just bad. Cough with one mouth..."

Seeing that the old man was speaking in a hurry, Qin Bohong immediately helped him, and without caring so much, took the wine bottle and gave him a sip.

Qin Yuanshan took a breath and said dejectedly: "In short, from now on, we must be careful in our words and deeds. If God opens his eyes, we will always return to the court."

He said it generously, but the few people below were a little hesitant. Is it so easy? Even if the sin is pardoned, it will only be returned to his hometown, right?

Returning to the court was such a distant thing, but I didn't dare to think too much about it.

For a while, everyone fell silent, and they felt a little tasteless eating the mooncakes.

An independent courtyard in the inn.

A steward made a cup of tea for his grandfather and respectfully reported everything.

"Master, we will be able to reach Yangguan in a few days. Then the Qin family and his entourage will have to find their own place to live after entering the pass. I see that they are getting sick one after another and don't have much money, so we don't have to worry about it? "Zhao Chang handed over the tea, then stood aside with his hands folded and looked at the hook-nosed man on the seat.

If the Qin family were here, they would probably recognize that this was the previous inn, and they would have met this person once.

Gong Bocheng, the president of Dafeng Chamber of Commerce, has business all over Dafeng and even cooperates with small surrounding countries. He can be said to be the richest man in Dafeng.

"She said there's no need to be fully prepared. Just save your life. We'll see how they do after we get to Yangguan." Gongbo Cheng picked up the tea and took a sip. His stern face was cold and he said, "Let me send you a letter." Jingli, let Xue Ying take the lead. It’s time to advance to the throne. You can’t let one person dominate. If the Meng family is in trouble, they won’t pay attention to the Qin family. "

"Yes." Zhao Chang responded with clasped fists, thought for a while and then said: "Master, I'm afraid the eldest lady is not resenting the Qin family, otherwise how could she do it to this extent?"

"It's okay to hold grudges. The Qin family doesn't have much affection for her. But I think she probably won't hold grudges. She won't put her mind on these so-called hates. It's too troublesome." Bo Cheng played with the warm jade talisman in his hand and chuckled: "She just doesn't care."

Things you don't care about, even people, can be discarded at any time.

3-in-1, have a great weekend!
