Zhao Mo took the painting away. Qin Hanzhen believed that the painting would be properly placed in his hands, so he left it alone.

It's just that Zhao Mo said that he had something to do and needed to leave first, but he was delayed in the Yongjiahou Mansion for more than half an hour, and he stayed in Qin Hanzhen's courtyard for a while, so it was impossible to hide this matter from Qin Bai. Old man Qin Bai's thinking is still quite traditional, although he is happy to see that his granddaughter and her future husband have a harmonious relationship, but he is still worried that her girl's reputation will be affected and will be criticized, so he specially called Qin Hanzhen over and chatted for a long time. Fortunately, Wu Shaoying came back, which somewhat diverted Qin Bai's attention, so Qin Hanzhen was broken and thought about it once, and he escaped. The Niu family didn't know at all, Qin Hanzhen secretly rejoiced that his cousin was there, and his grandfather didn't care about communicating with his grandmother about these gossips, so he had to escape the disaster.

However, the Niu family actually can't take care of their eldest granddaughter now. Qin Hanzhen's marriage has been decided, and the preparations for the dowry are progressing quite smoothly, and the housekeepers and grandmothers in the family are staring at it, and nothing can go wrong. Her grandson-in-law is a person she is satisfied with, very caring, and her granddaughter is also reliable, so she can live a good life without worrying about it, what else does she have to worry about? She only lacks a capable daughter-in-law to help her handle her granddaughter's wedding.

The little daughter-in-law does not have to preside over the feed, she just needs to concentrate on taking care of the little granddaughter and the little grandson. Qin Hanzhu is very conscious of going to school every day and does not make trouble; Brother Xiaozhuang is even more well-behaved, which makes people feel very worry-free; the youngest son Qin An goes back and forth between the military camp and home, and his daughter-in-law and maids take care of him. Niu's attention should have shifted to the eldest daughter-in-law who had not yet been shadowed, but now that Qin Ping had not returned to Beijing, she could only be busy with other things.

Wu Shaoying, an older leftover man in his thirties, naturally bore the brunt of it and became the object of her busyness. Qin Ping's absence highlights him? Qin Ping has even married a wife and has a daughter who is about to get married, and Wu Shaoying has never even been married! He has no knot of losing his wife (as far as Niu's knows), he is a good person, his career is quite smooth, he has a lot of family background, and he has no bad habits and hobbies, so why has he never married a wife?!

Niu couldn't figure it out anyway, and there was no answer to ask Wu Shaoying, so he could only understand that he had been living alone and had no relatives to care for, so no one was worried about his marriage. And he himself is used to being carefree, so he doesn't care about marriage. As a teacher's wife, Niu believes that he has the responsibility to solve the major events of his life for him, and he must not be allowed to wander around!

Wu Shaoying returned to Yongjiahou Mansion, although he could feel the strong care of his teacher and his wife, and he could also reunite with his beloved niece and daughter Qin Hanzhen, but his wife's forced marriage posture still made him secretly bitter. In fact, he also understands that his wife is thinking about him, and it is indeed very rare for him to be so old and unmarried for no reason. Not to mention the teacher and his wife, even when he was an official in Jinling, he also met officials and colleagues who were enthusiastic or had other selfish intentions to be his matchmaker, and those local big families did not rarely ask people to deliver messages in private, wanting to give him their daughter, or marry a concubine, distant niece or something to make him a second room. Fortunately, he has the support of his uncle's mansion behind him, and Huang Jincheng to help him turn around, otherwise he may not be able to shirk it again and again, and he will not offend people deeply.

It's just that, deep in his heart, there is still a knot in his heart, and he is hesitant about marriage. For my cousin Guan Rongniang, with the passage of time, the feelings may have gradually faded, but recalling the days when I lost her, the heart-wrenching feeling still remains in my heart.

Over the years, he has not met the object of his heart. He also knew that being single like this would be very strange to outsiders, which was not conducive to his reputation and future, and he was not sorry for his parents who died early. He knew better that his teachers and his wife were very concerned about his lifelong happiness and had always advised him to get married as soon as possible. He also thought about finding a suitable virtuous woman and marrying her. However, deep down in his heart, he always felt guilty about Guan Rongniang, and felt that if he failed to forget his feelings, it would be irresponsible to the latter if he married someone else. He didn't want to marry a wife casually, but if he chose a good woman, he couldn't bear to fail her. With such hesitation, he never took that step.

Sometimes, Wu Shaoying can't help but laugh at himself, maybe he is such a cowardly person, right?

Qin Hanzhen saw that his cousin was distressed by his grandmother's urging marriage, and he also expressed deep sympathy. She thinks that everyone has their own freedom, if Wu Shaoying is a celibate and feels that she will live more comfortably without getting married for the rest of her life, then of course she respects his ideas. It's just that, judging from Wu Shaoying's situation, it seems that he is more unwilling to marry because he can't forget her mother Guan Rongniang. Qin Ping refused to marry again because he couldn't forget his deceased wife, which was just that. What is Wu Shaoying? The missed love can't be turned back anyway, but this feeling can't be known to outsiders. Wu Shaoying had nowhere to complain, so he could only stick to it silently, and Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Wu Shaoying and Guan Rongniang are by mistake, Guan Rongniang buried her life at a young age, and Wu Shaoying's life has been trapped by love since then. He could have been a virtuous wife and filial piety, and a happy family, but now he has been alone for many years. I don't know when he will figure it out and be willing to let go of the old feelings of the past and welcome new happiness.

Qin Hanzhen sighed, comforting Wu Shaoying, and at the same time persuaded his grandmother: "My cousin has his own ideas, why do you force him again and again? He finally returned to the capital and reunited with us." A person who is an official, he has to go out from time to time every day to meet relatives and friends, pull relationships, and socialize with people in the officialdom, he is also very tired, so don't add any more burden to him, let him live more easily in our family. You're not his own mother!" Why bother so much?!

Niu Shi said angrily: "Can I still not know this? However, it is precisely because he has no mother that I, as a teacher, have to take care of him more." Originally, your grandmother was his aunt, and she should have worried about these things for him, but your grandmother was unreliable on her own, and she was thinking about marrying her daughter to him all the time. Your grandfather was a teacher for one day and a father for life, and my wife is the same as his own mother. Isn't it a matter of course for a mother to marry a daughter-in-law for her son? Don't always persuade me, you little child, how do you know what is really good for your cousin? Do you think that he doesn't want to get married, and if you don't urge him, you just think about him? He is now in his thirties! If he doesn't marry a wife and have children, he won't even have a pension in the future, what will he do when the time comes? It's too late to regret it! You are not his own daughter, so don't stop me. ”

Qin Hanzhen was blocked back by her grandmother's words, and she was very helpless, so she could only change her way and use her little cousin Brother Zhuang to attract Niu's attention, so that she could pay more attention to her little grandson, and don't always stare at Wu Shaoying.

Who knows, Niu's holding his cute little grandson, as if he had found a new good reason, summoned Wu Shaoying to tease the child. When Wu Shaoying smiled and praised Brother Zhuang for being cute, she persuaded him: "Do you want to have such a lovely son? Hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law! When you marry a daughter-in-law and have a child, you can also tease your child every day!"

Wu Shaoying really couldn't cry or laugh. Qin Hanzhen was completely defeated by his grandmother.

As the Wanshou Festival got closer and closer, Zhao Mo gradually became less leisurely than before, and he had to enter the palace almost every day, and the emperor and the crown prince had something to arrange for him to do. However, he still tried his best to come to Yongjiahou's Mansion once a day, and he didn't have time to have a meal, so he came over to have a cup of tea and chat a few words, but he couldn't catch up, and he couldn't arrive every day, so he came the next day. Now that the courtyard has been repaired, he has an excuse to move, and he only needs to drill into his new home every day, and then come out of the back door and transfer into Yongjiahou's mansion, outsiders don't know at all, and there is nowhere to gossip, at most, he just talked about it in private, saying that the new palace of the king of Suning County in the capital is very close to his fiancée's house.

Of course, it's close, the main entrance of the two houses is the front and back streets, a few hundred feet apart, just a walk - not people who live nearby, or know the geography of the capital, but they may not know that the two of them are actually next to each other, after all, the address on the official face is not on the same street at all.

Zhao Mo came to Yongjiahou Mansion, in addition to seeing Qin Bainiu's family, the focus was of course on his fiancée Qin Hanzhen. He doesn't just talk about love every day, and often talks about family life. The two grew up together, and family chores were originally their main topic.

Qin Hanzhen privately complained to Zhao Mo about Niu's urging of Wu Shaoying's marriage. Zhao Mo also knew what Wu Shaoying was thinking, and understood what she was sighing about, so he said: "Actually, if Cousin Wu really can't bear it, it may not be a bad thing to let your grandmother be the master and marry a wife." Maybe he felt awkward for a while, but the days are getting used to it. In the future, when he has children and daughters, and when the husband and wife are harmonious, he will naturally let go of the past slowly. I think it's better than him living celibate all the time, never forgetting the deceased. Uncle Wu is too lonely and needs to add some popularity to him. ”

Having said that, marriage matters always require the willingness of the parties involved. The key now is that Wu Shaoying himself is not happy! However, the Niu family has a heavy sense of responsibility, and he doesn't know the bottom line, so Wu Shaoying can only have a headache. Qin Hanzhen was also worried.

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "In that case, I'm going to test Cousin Wu's thoughts? If he really doesn't want to, find an excuse to prevaricate his grandmother, that's it." Cousin Wu returned to Beijing to report on his work, and then sought promotion, which was originally just to stay in the capital for three or two months. Now it's the New Year, at most another month. After dealing with the past few months, Cousin Wu has a new appointment, and as soon as the person leaves, where will my grandmother find someone to urge her to get married?"

It seems that this is the only way, but it seems that some of them can't live with their grandfathers and grandmothers?

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "Okay, if you are free, you can help probe your cousin's thoughts." You know, this thing, I ...... I'm not going to have a good time talking. "It's not just a matter of gender and seniority, it's even more embarrassing to let my cousin know that she knows.

Zhao Mo agreed with a smile.
