Chapter Eighty-Four: The Window

Qin Hanzhen stayed for a while before he came to his senses, and immediately jumped down from the steps: "Why are you here? How long have you been waiting? Why don't you go home? Look at the snow on your body! Are you afraid that you won't die of cold or something?"

She was so angry and anxious.

Zhao Mo was still in the mood to smile with her and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold." As for the reason why he did not go to the Yongjia Hou Mansion, but secretly waited in the middle of the two Hou Mansions, he explained it this way, "Isn't the third year of junior high school a red mouth? I heard the old people say that it is not convenient to go to other people's houses to be guests on this day, nor is it convenient to entertain guests to come to their homes as guests. In that case, I want to see you, so I'll stay here and wait. Then I didn't come to your house as a guest, and you don't have to be taboo. The two of us just met by chance. ”

Qin Hanzhen was a little moved in his heart, but he was more noisy: "We are both so acquainted, are you a guest when you come to my house?" Besides, it is not a legal requirement to be naked. There is such a thing as customs, you can keep it if you love it, and forget it if you don't love it. Yesterday, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was also not suitable to be a guest at other people's homes, didn't you go to Chengenhou Mansion to find Brother Lobby? Why didn't you say taboo at that time? Come with me and get warm in the house. It's a cold day, and it's just snowing, and if you're wet with snow and the wind blows for a while, you're going to get sick. Isn't it more unfortunate to get sick during the Chinese New Year?"

She impatiently grabbed the corner of Zhao Mo's sleeve, and was about to pull him to the side door of her house. Zhao Mo had a smile on his face, and grabbed her with his backhand: "Go slowly, don't worry, be careful that the snow under your feet is slippery." ”

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him angrily: "So you still know this, then why are you stupid and standing in the middle of the road and waiting for a long time?"

Zhao Mo smiled and didn't speak, and pulled her into the garden of Yongjiahou Mansion. Feng'er followed silently, flew him several times, and traced several times that he was holding Qin Hanzhen's hand. Just because Qin Han Allah moved to hold his hand first, Feng'er remained silent. What the girl decides to do, she just needs to obey the order, and she doesn't have to say much.

Qin Hanzhen was actually just in a hurry, so he grabbed Zhao Mo. She didn't have so many things to avoid with him three or four years ago, and she didn't pay attention to them now. After entering the garden, Zhao Mo told her not to be in a hurry and walked slower, so she naturally took her hand back. Zhao Mo wanted to hold it again, paused, and caught a glimpse of the rough envoy of the Yongjiahou Mansion passing by not far in front of him, so he had to take his hand back. He wanted to continue to hold Qin Hanzhen's hand, but he was afraid that if someone saw it, he would gossip and affect Qin Hanzhen's reputation, which would be bad.

But he still hopes to get along with Qin Hanzhen for a while. Get along alone.

After thinking about it, he said to Qin Hanzhen: "I came here suddenly today, and I don't know what happened to my uncle and grandparents." Why don't we find a place in the garden to talk, and you send someone to talk to your uncle and grandma first. If the second elder thinks it's okay, I'll go and have a meal with them, chat for a while, and then go out through the side door, so as not to attract attention. ”

Qin Hanzhen was puzzled: "Why are you so sneaky? When you returned to Beijing that day, you also came to our house generously, and you didn't have so many taboos when you went to the long house yesterday?"

Zhao Mo sighed: "The first day I came back, I went to your house for dinner, isn't that a matter of course? Since they have all been there, it would be too flamboyant to go again. Although I don't care, and you don't care about your uncle, grandparents, and cousins, there will always be people who are verbose. Now that my father is in Beijing, I'm not as free as I used to be, and I have to think twice about everything, but I'm actually a little impatient. ”

That's right, now Zhao Shuo, the son of the King of Liao, also lives in the city. Although Zhao Mo lives in the Liao Wang's Mansion and does not live with his father and stepmother, it is always inevitable to come to the mansion every day to ask for peace. Zhao Mo is in a long position, Zhao Shuo has some scruples, and he naturally has to be polite to his son, but he really wants to put on a shelf and teach Zhao Mo what to say as a father, and Zhao Mo is not easy to go back, it is indeed not as comfortable as when he was alone in Beijing before.

Qin Hanzhen didn't refuse him again: "Okay, then Feng'er go and report a message to your grandfather and grandmother." I think they will only be happy that Cousin Zhao can come, and they will never say that there is anything taboo. Let the kitchen add a few of your favorite dishes for lunch. The garden of our Hou Mansion is not big, there are not many pavilions and pavilions, and only one small pavilion can still sit people. If you have a banquet at home, you can only build another shed. Now I can only grieve Cousin Zhao and move to that Xiaoxuan. I remember that someone had to prepare a charcoal pot and a tea stove there to prepare my grandfather's snow appreciation, so it shouldn't be too cold. ”

When Feng'er heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Zhao Mo again. Zhao Mo smiled so much that his eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "Okay, just do it." He also said to Feng'er in a matter-of-fact manner, "Please, girl, say a few more good words to my uncle, grandparents, and grandparents for me, just say that I also know about the abruptness, but I have always been close to the two elders, so I came to the door with a cheeky disregard for the customs, and ask them to take pity on me, a junior who has nowhere to go, and take me in for a day in the house?"

Didn't you say there was only one lunch? How could it be a day now?

Feng'er spit out in her heart, curtsied without smiling, and then changed to a more sincere smile, and said respectfully to Qin Hanzhen: "I'm going now, the girl must remember to ask Fengweixuan's mother-in-law to burn a few more braziers and serve some hot tea, don't be too troublesome, be too sympathetic to them, and let them be lazy." Those mothers-in-law, Cheng Ri's family has nothing to do, and white-collar monthly money. If the girls don't call, it's too cheap for them. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and patted her: "I know, even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about Cousin Zhao." Look at the snow on his body! Don't burn a few braziers to roast, what if you turn around and catch a cold?"

Feng'er glanced at Zhao Mo wordlessly, and left silently.

Qin Hanzhen went to Fengwei Xuan with Zhao Mo, who had no change in his smile. As the name suggests, this place is actually located in a bamboo forest, the windows are wide and large, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of most of the garden, and it is a good place to enjoy the shade in summer. But a few years ago, Qin Bai wanted to enjoy the snow here, so he let people add glass, prepare a screen to block the wind, arrange a big copper smoker, and there is a big wooden box in the corner of the house, which is equipped with utensils for cooking tea around the hearth, and is ready for Qin Bai to take his old wife and granddaughter to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms here, and make tea with his own hands. Qin Hanzhen didn't plan to stay here with Zhao Mo for a long time, so he didn't touch those utensils, and only asked the mother-in-law waiting in Fengwei Xuan to light the tea stove, boiled a pot of ginger tea, and sent it together with the cleaned tea set, and then added three or four braziers and closed the door. When the Xuanli was warm, he asked Zhao Mo to take off the snow-soaked cloak, hang it on the back of the high-backed chair, and roast it against the fire.

Zhao Mo was wearing a slim-fitting brocade leather jacket warmly, sitting on a bamboo couch with a cotton chair, drinking hot ginger tea, and talking to Qin Hanzhen about homely things.

He confided in Qin Hanzhen about his father. In his words, he is not good at saying these things in front of others, even if he is as close as the emperor and the prince, respectful as Qin Bai and Niu, friendly as Qin Jian, and trustworthy as Qingdai, Ah Shou and others around him, he is not good at saying these words. Because that is his father, he was born to be a filial person, even if everyone knows that he is wronged, he can't say a word of complaint, once he says it, it seems that he is not filial. He could only endure in silence and let others complain for him. But this kind of taboo doesn't have to be guarded in front of Qin Hanzhen. He knew that she would never say anything wrong about him, but would empathize with him, which made him feel very comfortable.

Of course, Qin Hanzhen wouldn't think there was anything wrong with this. In modern society, when encountering unreliable parents, isn't it common for children to complain to others? Zhao Mo just complained to her in private, what's the big deal? Zhao Shuo was already a scumbag! Now he looks more well-behaved, or because he has suffered a big loss, and he expects to rely on his son to turn over, so he will become honest, but it's not that he knows his mistakes and can change them, and he becomes no scumbag. Since his essence remains the same, Zhao Mo is angry, isn't he allowed to vent?

The little friend is also quite pitiful, apart from her, where else can he vent?

So she listened to Zhao Mo talk for a long time about how Zhao Shuo was indifferent to the eldest son, and returned to the capital to let the eldest son live in her own house, just to ask Zhao Mo to take him with him when he entered the palace, at least to say a few more good words for him in front of the emperor and the prince, and strive to find him another good errand, or enter the palace to face the grace of the saint alone. Zhao Shuo also introduced the latest trends in the DPRK and China to his son, signaling his son to get closer to those clans, royal relatives, nobles and high-ranking officials who have been in the limelight recently, and pointed out which of these people has a son of the same age who can make friends, and which one has a daughter or granddaughter of the right age to marry......

Speaking of this, Zhao Mo also interjected: "Uncle and grandfather, several old masters, old marquis, and several old ministers of the two dynasties did not participate in the New Year's court, and my father still suspects that their holy relatives are not as good as in the past, so let me come to my uncle and grandfather less and interact more with those upstarts in Beijing." I really don't know what to say, my uncle and grandfather and a few elders don't participate in the New Year's pilgrimage, that's the emperor's grace! My father prides himself on being well-informed, but where did he hear about it?

Qin Hanzhen was also a little unhappy in her heart, but she didn't admit that this little emotion was related to the word "marriage" in Zhao Mo's words, and she only felt that it was because her grandfather was underestimated: "It's about that Ling Zun has been marginalized in the capital for a long time, and the news is not so well-informed, and his judgment has declined." He is a dignified prince and prince, what is close to those upstarts who broke out? Don't he think that is too cheap?" "Now there is a son who is a saint and has a meritorious title and does not show favor, what is Zhao Shuo doing with the idea of those upstarts? Does he still expect a second royal family to bring him a huge network of officialdom and send him to the position of crown prince?!

While listening, Zhao Mo carefully paid attention to the expression on Qin Hanzhen's face, pursed his lips and smiled, and said to her with a straight face: "Also, on the second day of the Lunar New Year yesterday, do you know why I have nowhere to go? Because my father took my wife out to visit relatives." The Wang family's grandson was not in Beijing, although there were still people in the old house, but he did not take his wife back to his parents' house, but went to visit his brother-in-law, saying that he wanted his wife and sisters to meet, even if it was a full ceremony. Isn't it ridiculous? He still wanted me to go with me, but I reasoned that there was something wrong, so I finally refused. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "Who is Ling Zun's brother-in-law?"

Zhao Mo approached Qin Hanzhen and said in a low voice: "You can't think of who it is anymore - it's Zhao Jie, the general of the auxiliary country, the prince of the former Jin Dynasty!"

Qin Han was really stunned.
