Chapter 487 The little sister is quite cute
Ever since he handed over his military power, the entire general's mansion has relied on his salary to make ends meet every month. However, there are more than a hundred people, young and old, in General Qin's mansion, and more than half of them are disabled. His salary is not even enough to fill their teeth.
Qin Zian said to his father: "Dad, I'm fine."
After saying this, he boasted to his father again: "Dad, do you know? I spent ten cents today and bought nearly 40 kilograms of vegetables. If we save a little, it will be enough for our livelihood for a day."
When Zhong Lingzhu heard her son spend ten cents to buy forty kilograms of vegetables, she looked at him curiously and asked, "Zi'an, how can there be such cheap vegetables?"
You know, in the capital, even the bitter wild vegetables dug from the mountains, it is difficult to buy a pound without two cents.
Qin Zian smiled and said to his mother, "Mom, I was lucky today. I met two little devils. They threw all the things from the street vendors all over the ground. Later they were caught by their father. They were punished to solve the problem themselves. Then I got a bargain."
After hearing what her son said, Zhong Lingzhu taught him, "With such sensible parents, the children can't be bad by nature. You, please don't mistreat them."
After hearing what his mother said, Qin Zian curled his lips and said, "Mom, I don't even know his mother, but their father is a big devil that everyone in the capital fears."
When Zhong Lingzhu heard her son say this, she looked at her husband and asked her son curiously, "Zi'an, do you know whose children they are?"
Qin Zian said: "They are so high-profile, I think it's hard not to know."
"Whose is it?" Qin Zhen asked.
Qin Zian said: "Who else could it be? Of course it must be Prince Han and his two children who just returned to Beijing two days ago."
After Qin Zian finished speaking, he paused and said with a smile: "But, the little sister is quite cute."
When Zhong Lingzhu heard that her son had met Shen Ruolan's children, she asked her son excitedly, "Zi'an, did you really see the two children of King Han?"
Qin Zian didn't know why his mother was so excited, but he still nodded and replied truthfully: "Yes, the two were making trouble on the street, and Prince Han came later."
Zhong Lingzhu picked up her son and said to him with a smile: "You, don't call Zeyi the little devil anymore. His mother is our savior and your cousin."
When Qin Zian heard that he was a relative of the two children today, he looked at his mother with surprise and said, "Mom, are we really related to that little sister?"
He doesn't like the boy who always has a stern face, like a little old man. On the contrary, he likes the little sister who is always smiling. If possible, he would like to go and play with her.
Zhong Lingzhu said: "Of course it's true."
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "If your father hadn't been feeling unwell these past two days, I would have brought you to visit him."
Qin Zian listened to him and said happily: "Mom, it's okay. It won't be too late for us to go after Dad gets better."
"Okay." Just as Zhong Lingzhu finished speaking, she heard the servant outside the door report: "General, someone named Shen Ruolan sent a visiting card."
When Zhong Lingzhu heard that Shen Ruolan had someone deliver the visiting card, she quickly opened the door and asked, "Where is it? Let me see it."
The servant handed the note to Zhong Lingzhu and said, "Madam, this is it."
Zhong Lingzhu took the note, opened it and looked at it, then said to Qin Zhen happily, "My husband, Ruolan said that she and her cousin will come to the general's mansion to visit us tomorrow morning."
Qin Zhen was very happy when he heard that Shen Ruolan was coming tomorrow. However, after being happy, he suddenly felt worried. They felt bad that they didn't have anything decent to entertain the distinguished guest.
Zhong Lingzhu also saw that her husband was in trouble. She hesitated for a moment and said to her husband, "My dear, I still have a few hairpins. I will pawn them now."
Qin Zhen quickly stopped her and said, "Zhuzhu, that is your last dowry, you can't accept it."
After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "If it really doesn't work, just go to the warehouse and get two imperial gifts to pawn."
There are actually quite a few good things in Qin Zhen’s warehouse, but most of them are imperial gifts and cannot be sold, so they are like waste.
Zhong Lingzhu quickly refused, "No, if the Heavenly Family investigates, it will be a capital crime."
Qin Zian looked at his parents who were in a state of confusion. He hesitated for a moment and said to them, "Dad, Mom, don't worry anymore. I'll go borrow some money from Uncle Five for tomorrow."
Qin Zhen looked at his little son and said with a distressed face: "Zi'an, I'm sorry, it's all because of daddy's uselessness."
Qin Zian said to his father: "Dad, don't say that. As long as our family is well, it is better than anything else."
Qin Zhen nodded to his son.
Zhong Lingzhu sighed in her heart and said to her son, "Zi'an, if you go out, take Lele with you. I will finish the embroidery as soon as possible. This way, we can get by for a while."
Qin Zian nodded to his mother and said, "Mom, don't be too tired."
"Mom, it's okay." After Zhong Lingzhu finished speaking, she settled her husband down and started embroidering.
Late at night, Shen Ruolan didn't know that her sudden visit had caused trouble for General Qin's mansion. While taking off her clothes, she asked Wan Dong, "Dong'er, do you know the situation of General Qin's family?"
The reason why Shen Ruolan asked this was because when she left, General Qin's mansion was really in a very difficult situation and not as prosperous as it seemed.
Wan Dong listened to her master's question, she thought for a moment and said: "In reply to Madam, it seems that General Qin's Mansion seems to..."
Wan Dong looked at Shen Ruolan, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself from speaking. She didn't know if what she heard was true.
Shen Ruolan looked at her and asked, "What?"
Wan Dong said, "I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that since General Qin broke his leg, it has been Young Master Qin who has been out there begging for a living to support everyone."
Wan Dong's words startled Shen Ruolan. After she came back to her senses, she looked at Wan Dong and asked, "You just said, what happened to General Qin's leg?"
"I heard that General Qin's leg was broken during the battle." After Wan Dong finished speaking, she looked around and whispered to Shen Ruolan, "I heard that General Qin has handed over his military power. Now the entire General Qin's Mansion has no source of income and is having a hard time."
Wan Dong's words made Shen Ruolan's heart sink. She sat on the bed with a rather unhappy expression and said, "General Qin was so seriously injured, why didn't the prince tell me?"
Seeing that her master was angry, Wan Dong said cautiously, "Maybe, maybe the prince was busy and forgot about it?"
Shen Ruolan would not believe Wan Dong's lame excuse. She stood up and said, "Go and call Ji Ning in."
"Yes, ma'am." After Wan Dong finished speaking, he hurried out to find Ji Ning.
Not long after, Ji Ning came in and asked, "Master, are you looking for me?"
