241, Chapter 241

"Mom, what is this?" Qin Linyang, who was two years old, spoke very fluently. He held his mother's hand in one hand and his father's hand in the other, and looked around curiously on the street.

Qin Fang was transferred back to Beijing this time. Because his position was still to be determined, he was not in a hurry to go back, so he took his wife and son to play along the way. Of course, he couldn't play for too long, but half a month was fine.

Qin Linyang had never been out of Yunxiang County. Although he had visited the county town of Yunxiang County, the number of times was very few, and he was young, so he had long forgotten it. Moreover, Yunxiang County has a small population and the county town is remote, so there are few people, and it is far less lively than here.

Yang Haiyan followed her son's words and looked: "It should be a clay figurine. Do you want to take a look?"

"Yes."

So, the family went to the clay figurine stall.

Clay figurines can be made on site, and the one who made them is an old man.

Yang Haiyan said, "Son, what do you want to make?"

Qin Linyang said without thinking, "Xiao Shuai, and me, and daddy and mom."

The old man asked jokingly, "Young Master, what is Xiao Shuai?"

Qin Linyang said, "Xiao Shuai is my friend, a good friend."

Yang Haiyan laughed out loud, "It's the horse he raises, just make a batch of horses for him. By the way, old man, I see that the clay here is all colored, and horses can also be made into colored horses, right?"

The old man said, "Of course, please tell me, madam."

Yang Haiyan said, "The horses are jujube red, just make them jujube red."

The old man has good craftsmanship, and he can make clay figurines very quickly. It doesn't even take an incense stick of time to make Xiao Shuai. The jujube red Xiao Shuai is very lifelike, just like a real horse, although it is a small horse.

"Wow..." Qin Linyang's eyes lit up, "It's Xiaoshuai."

The old man was naturally happy to see that his clay figurines were liked by people. He patiently and kindly reminded: "This one is still soft now, you can't touch it, it will harden after half a day."

"Huh?" Qin Linyang didn't understand.

Yang Haiyan said: "This Xiaoshuai is sick now, it will hurt if you touch it, you need to rest for half a day and it will be fine, understand?"

When Qin Linyang heard it, he was reluctant to touch it: "Blow it... it will fly away if it hurts..." Although he couldn't touch it, he was happy to see it.

After Xiaoshuai, the clay figurines of the family of three were also made. The clay figurines were colorful and bright, and they looked very lively.

After the clay figurines were set up, the family of three went to several places. There were no famous places of interest in ancient times, and the ancients did not have the concept of tourism, so the three of them mostly focused on eating.

After half a month, they ate a lot of delicious food. Half a month later, at the end of April, they arrived in Beijing.

The Qin family already had houses, manors and fields in Beijing. Local officials are different from Beijing officials. Local officials are evaluated every three years and moved, but Beijing officials are not. If nothing unexpected happens, they will stay here for the rest of their lives until Qin Fang retires.

The Qin family's house is not far from Du Ke. Although it is not in the same building as the Du Mansion, it is separated by two streets and is also in the surrounding area of ​​the same building. The same building is in a good location, and it is not easy to buy a house.

The Qin family had a maid come in advance, and the house was cleaned up. After taking Qin Fang and his party to the capital, they went directly to the Qin Mansion.

The servants of the Qin Mansion came from the General's Mansion in Yunxiang County, so they naturally recognized the master. They were happy to see the master coming, otherwise it would be hard to wait for the master every day.

The neighbors got the news when there was movement in the Qin Mansion. Moreover, since someone came to clean up here, everyone also asked about the news. Because this house was bought by the Du family, everyone always thought that it was the Du family's house. Only when the Qin family came today did they realize that it was not the Du family. After all, the Du family is from the capital, but the people who moved in now have a lot of luggage, and they can be seen from afar.

So, everyone was curious and asked about it. But the Qin family naturally didn't know these things.

Qin Fang and his friends were not in a hurry to travel, and they traveled along the way, so they were not tired when they arrived in the capital.

Qin Linyang looked around curiously. The Qin Mansion was not as big as the General's Mansion. Compared with the plain General's Mansion, this place was a little more gorgeous. "Mom, where is this?" he asked curiously.

Yang Haiyan said: "This is our home, we will live here in the future."

"Home?" Qin Linyang blinked his eyes, still not quite understanding, but the child didn't think about these things. For him, wherever his parents were, that was his home.

Yang Haiyan said: "Yes, this is our home. You will live here and grow up here. Come on, I will show you the way and build a small park for you." Children in ancient times had no fun, unlike modern times, when children of this age start to play in children's playgrounds. When I was in Yunxiang County before, I didn't build it because my child was still young and I was not sure when I would go home. Now is the right time.

"Small park? What is it?" Qin Linyang is a very curious child and wants to know everything.

Yang Haiyan said: "There are skateboards, swings... There are many fun things."

"Wow... I want to play..."

The mother and son first walked around every corner of the mansion. This house is actually not big, with only two entrances. Because there are no houses with three or more entrances for sale in this area, they only bought a two-entry house, but for their family of three, this two-entry house is also suitable.

When the mother and son came back after walking around, the servants had already moved all the luggage and sorted it out.

During the meal, Yang Haiyan mentioned: "Husband, let Lian Mama say hello to the Du Mansion later. If the Du Mansion has time, we will visit tomorrow. What do you think?"

Qin Fang said: "No problem, I will go to the palace first in the afternoon."

Du Mansion

When someone came from the Qin family, the Du Mansion knew about it soon because the servants of the Du family came to see from time to time. The Qin Mansion was cleaned in advance, and there were enough servants, so the Du family did not send anyone over.

When Nanny Lian came to the house, Mrs. Du was resting, so Nanny Lian did not disturb her. She just got to know the nanny next to Mrs. Du and went back.

About an hour later, the nanny next to Mrs. Du came to the Qin Mansion and told the Qin family that the Du family would be there tomorrow.

Although Qin Fang had visited the Du family twice, tomorrow was the first visit by the Qin family in the true sense. Unlike the previous visit by Qin Fang alone, the Qin family paid more attention to it, and the Du family naturally paid more attention to it. Therefore, the Du family was there. In addition to Du Ke's wife and family, the two married daughters would also bring their husbands and children back to their parents' home tomorrow, which was a recognition of relatives.

On the morning of the second day, the Qin family of three came to visit the Du Mansion.

Logically speaking, Yang Haiyan is a second-rank lady, so it is reasonable for Mrs. Du, the wife of a third-rank minister, to receive her. However, Yang Haiyan is a junior and Mrs. Du is an elder, so it was Du Xingran and his wife who received them at the gate of the Du Mansion this time. Du Xingran received Qin Fang, and Du Xingran's wife Qu received Yang Haiyan.

"Brother Qin, sister." Seeing them get off the carriage, Du Xingran stepped forward, "I finally waited for you to come to the capital. It's not easy to wait for a few years."

Yang Haiyan was amused by Du Xingran's words. They had only known each other for two or three years. People who didn't know would think that they had known each other for a long time, but she didn't laugh out loud: "Second Brother Du." As she said that, she looked at the woman next to Du Xingran.

Qin Fang nodded.

Unlike Du Xingran, who was carefree, Qu was more quiet. Although she was quiet, she was still straightforward. She followed and said, "I have heard of your name for a long time. Today I finally get to meet you."

Du Xingran hurriedly said, "Sister, this is your second sister-in-law."

Yang Haiyan had guessed it just now. After hearing what Du Xingran said, she smiled and greeted, "Meet the second sister-in-law."

Just as Qu was about to speak, a child came out of the carriage: "Mom..." Little Qin Linyang had been sitting in the carriage for a long time, and his father didn't come to pick him up, so he got out of the carriage by himself.

Madam Lian, who was waiting on the side, saw this and picked him up.

Yang Haiyan waved to her son, "Come and meet your second uncle and second aunt."

Although little Qin Linyang was naughty, he still listened to his mother very much. Besides, he didn't dare to be naughty in the unfamiliar environment outside. He said obediently: "Second uncle, second aunt."

Qu: "What a good child." She had two daughters but no son, and she always wanted to have a son, so she was particularly fond of little boys. Of course, although she gave birth to a son, she also carefully cultivated her daughters.

Du Xingran exclaimed: "Do you remember second uncle? I held you in Yunxiang County that year."

Little Qin Linyang shook his head. How could a child have a good memory?

Qu said: "Sister, let's go first. Everyone in the family is waiting to see you. Everyone says that you are as good as a man."

Yang Haiyan said: "It's a pity that I don't have three heads and six arms. I guess everyone doesn't think it's special when they see me."

Qu was amused by her humorous words, and she also had a good impression of Yang Haiyan. She was not modest and generous. Who doesn't like such a person?

Because they were all family members, the men and women did not avoid each other, and everyone went to the main courtyard together.

When the group arrived at the entrance of the main courtyard, the servant inside said, "Guests are here."

When the people in the hall heard this, they all looked at the entrance. Speaking of which, Qin Fang and his friends knew each other, so they were curious about Yang Haiyan. They had indeed heard of Yang Haiyan for a long time. Although this person is not in the capital, her reputation in the capital is not small. She was once a maid in the Yang Mansion, married to a centurion, and became a second-rank lady with her own ability. This is not the wife's glory by the husband, but her own merits. Therefore, how can they not be curious?

As the servants finished speaking, Du Xingran and his wife brought a young couple in, and there was a little boy beside them.
