Chapter 51
When the old man No.20, the sixth housekeeper, was thinking about that extraordinary girl, this girl, Qin Zheng, was galloping away happily with Lu Fang.The last two people stopped in front of a small town. The houses in the town were all green brick and tile houses, the roads were very neatly built, and neat weeping willows were planted on both sides of the road.Now it is evening, there is smoke everywhere, and there are sellers of steamed buns and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes loudly soliciting business, and there are even shouts of oil sellers walking around the streets, one after another, it is very lively.

Lu Fang looked back and asked Qin Zheng, "This is your hometown, Shilipu, right?"

Qin Zheng looked at this strange town: "It looks like it is."

Lu Fang asked again: "Where is your home?" After walking for so long, I finally arrived at Qin Zheng's house, and it was time to rest.

Qin Zheng shook his head: "I don't know either."

Lu Fang was speechless.

At this moment, a girl about ten years old came to them, looked at Lu Fang and Qin Zheng with curious eyes, and asked in a childish voice: "You two are not locals, where are you from? Come here to do it. what?"

This little girl is so big and still combs her horns, tied with a red satin cloth, wearing a blue jacket on her upper body, and a green skirt on her lower body, both of which are coarse cloth, washed a little old, she looks like the daughter of an ordinary family .

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Little sister, we are from Dayan, and we are going to the old Qin's house in Qianjie."

After hearing this, the little girl said enthusiastically: "There is only one family named Qin in the front street here, just wait, I will take you there."

Seeing this, Qin Zheng liked this enthusiastic little girl very much, and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"

The little girl tilted her head and said with a smile, "My name is Baogu." She smiled like that, which is really pretty.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Why don't you get on the horse, let's go there together?"

The little girl Bao Gu had never ridden a horse before, so when she heard it now, she was naturally happy and nodded vigorously.

Qin Zheng reached out to grab her and put her on the horse: "Let's go."

Bao Gu is riding a horse for the first time now, it is very fresh, curiously touching the reins and the horse's fur, and looking around happily.

Qin Zheng walked through the streets of Shilipu all the way, and saw that although it was only a small town, it was well-equipped with all kinds of internal organs, including gold shops and silver buildings, medicine shops and bookstores, restaurants and teahouses, everything that one expects to find.I think it's not far from Phoenix City, and there are merchants from south to north passing by here.

The next group of people watched and walked, and after a while, they came to a row of old houses.I saw that there were three big rooms in this old house facing the street, and there was a vermilion gate beside the three big rooms. The gate looked old, and the vermilion paint was starting to mottle.

Bao Gu pointed to the gate and said, "This is Lao Qin's family!"

Qin Zheng got off the horse, helped the little girl off the horse, and walked to the gate by himself, touched the copper ring on the gate, and saw that the copper ring had been rubbed out for an unknown number of years. Shiny.She squatted down again, looked at the two stone blocks next to the gate, and brushed off the dust on them with her hands. After the thick dust had gone, a few words were engraved on the stone blocks: "In the year of Jiahai, Qin alone."

Looking at the familiar characters, Qin Zheng's nose felt a little sour for a moment. She stretched out her hand and stroked those words gently.

Things changed and people changed, and my father never came back.

Lu Fang also dismounted at this time. Seeing this scene, he knew that he had found the right place, but seeing that there seemed to be someone living in this house, he asked the little girl, "Little girl, who lives here?"

Bao Gu asked curiously: "Of course Third Aunt Qin's family lives here, what's the problem?"

Lu Fang heard this, and smiled at Bao Gu: "Who is in Aunt Qin's family?"

Bao Gu thought for a while, then snapped her fingers and said, "There is Third Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin's eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, second son, second daughter-in-law, third son, third daughter-in-law..."
