Chapter 422 Condemnation
As soon as the first lunar month passed, Qin He and his wife took Qin Shuyan, Qin Xueyao's brother and sister, and with the Qin family's reluctance and Qin Shumo's tears, they left the capital and took up their posts in Yuncheng, thousands of miles away.
Most of Yuncheng's officials were involved in the corruption case that shocked the government and the public last year. Qin He was determined to control the floods in Yuncheng, so he wrote to the Ministry of Personnel and asked to be released. He was originally a fifth-rank official, but this time he was promoted to another rank.
level, becoming a fourth-grade general judge in Yuncheng.
Above the general judge is the fourth-grade prefect. It is said that the first level of officialdom kills people. It is the first time for Qin He to go out. Mr. Qin and others have to worry that he will be underestimated by the superior. They often ask the Li family about the temperament of the prefect.
.
It's just that the newly appointed magistrate was transferred from somewhere else and had been serving in the local area before. The Li family didn't know what his personality was like, and even asking others around couldn't find out the reason.
Qin Xiaoxiao combined with the current situation in Yuncheng and judged that the imperial court would only appoint a new prefect who would do practical things to change the riddled Yuncheng. As long as his third uncle did his job well, he would be unlikely to be tricked by the superior.
.
I don't know whether they believed in her well-founded judgment or her ability to make her words come true. Mr. Qin and others were indeed comforted and no longer worried about this matter.
They didn't know that the new magistrate and Qin Huai were both Jinshi in the same ranking, and they exchanged letters in private. As early as when the official document about the appointment of general magistrate in Fangyuncheng outside Qinhe was issued, Qin Huai had compiled a letter and sent it to
Cloud City.
For the sake of his good friend, as long as Qin He does not seek death, the new prefect will not make things difficult for him even if he is not capable enough.
Watching the carriage go away until he could no longer see it, Qin Shumo threw himself into Qin Xiaoxiao's arms and sobbed: "Sister, when can I see my parents and younger brothers and sisters?"
Yuncheng's literary style was not strong and there were no decent academies. After some difficult decisions, the Qinhe couple finally decided to keep their eldest son and only took away their second son and daughter who were still young and needed careful care.
The Li family took over the task of taking care of Qin Shumo first. It is said that the two elders of the Li family were grateful that Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao were open-minded and did not keep their daughter to fulfill their filial piety, so they were separated as husband and wife, so they were happy to take care of the Qin family.
Take care of your grandson.
Qin Xiaoxiao touched his head distressedly: "When you are as old as me, Third Uncle and the others will come back."
Qin Shan on the side couldn't listen anymore. He pulled his eldest nephew who was about to collapse and wiped his face with his rough palm: "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. When you are older, you can go south by yourself."
I’m visiting your parents.”
Qin Shumo, with a face like a tabby cat, asked with hope: "Uncle, how big would you be if you were older?"
Qin Shan said without thinking: "It would be nice to be as old as your sister."
Well, boys are no more delicate than girls. They are considered adults at the age of fourteen or fifteen. It is a good thing to go out and experience things.
"..."
Qin Shumo was confused and forgot to cry for a moment. When he came to his senses, he cried "Wow" even harder.
The three people made such a fuss, and the sadness of separation lingering in everyone's hearts was diluted a lot. While they comforted Qin Shumo, they looked at Qin Xiaoxiao and his daughter with reproachful eyes.
Qin Shumo is a sensible and considerate child. After being comforted by his relatives, he slowly accepted the fact that he would not be able to see his parents and siblings in a short period of time, and he followed the Qin family back home obediently.
This appearance made everyone feel even more distressed. They decided to stay in the capital to stay with him for a few more days, waiting for him to fully adapt to the absence of his parents and siblings.
This stay lasted for half a month. Half a month later, Qin Shumo was taken to the Li Mansion by Li Ke, and the Qin family also returned to Qingshan Village.
After entering February, the late spring cold came, with several light rains and snowfalls. After the rain and snow, the weather became warmer day by day, and the Qin family began to prepare for Qin Xiaoxiao and her hairpin ceremony.
Before, Qin Chuan and Zhao Caoer didn't take Xueya's hairpin ceremony seriously at all, and just passed it by in a hurry. This made the inexperienced Qinshan Lin Qiuniang very numb, and did not want to ruin their daughter's hairpin ceremony because of their mistakes.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care, and asked her parents to simply go through the process and be done, so that it would be easier for everyone.
Qinshan Lin Qiuniang not only refused to adopt it, but also gave her a fierce beating and stopped her from intervening.
In the end, Mr. Qin prepared a gift and drove the couple away to the Li family, asking them to learn from the Li family's experience in organizing hair extensions for their daughters and make their granddaughter's hair extensions beautiful.
The couple successfully completed the learning task and started various preparations with confidence. Qin Xiaoxiao became the most leisurely one, busy fishing, feeding cats, herding sheep and petting cats every day.
During this period, Hu Qingqing frequently came to play with her, and most of the time she complained about the matchmakers who arranged marriages for her and the people they arranged to marry.
"Sister Qingqing, the matchmaker has arranged for you to marry not only 100 but also 20 or 30 people. Isn't there any one you like?" Qin Xiaoxiao asked curiously, not sure what kind of husband her cousin wanted to find.
.
"Xiaoxiao, you don't understand. Those matchmakers are too exaggerated. They keep praising those people for being so good, but they don't say anything bad about them. Do you think there are such perfect people in the world?"
Hu Qingqing lay on her back on the sprouting grass, her head resting on her hands and her eyes staring blankly at the sky with a few floating clouds: "The most terrifying thing is my mother, I wish the matchmaker would come to my door today, and tomorrow
