Qin Jinyi listened to her grandmother Xue's face-to-face lecture at Fuguiju, and did not return to Taohuaxuan until the sun went down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before passing through the hall in front of Songfeng Hall, she happened to meet Zhao Mo coming out of Yan and preparing to go out of the second door. Zhao Mo still had that cold and indifferent appearance, nodded to her, but he didn't come close anymore when he was far away. If it was in the past, Qin Jinyi might still be troubled, how to talk to the other party and get close, but now that she has a new goal, she didn't take Zhao Mo to heart anymore, but because she remembered that she had been treated coldly by the other party for several days, her expression also cooled down, she snorted softly, turned her head and left, no longer as usual, at least she had to perform a beautiful posture to show her demeanor.

Zhao Mo didn't care whether Qin Jinyi was enthusiastic or cold, and still walked his own way. But Qing Dai, who was following him, didn't think so: "What's the matter with Miss Qin? A few days ago, she was cheeky and ran around our courtyard all day long, but now she will show her brother face, it's really rude! No wonder Fei's mother always said that this girl is lacking in etiquette and hasn't learned the rules well." ”

Zhao Mo said lightly: "What do you care about other people's affairs? Whether we live in someone else's house, we should be critical of others' words or say a few words. ”

Qingdai hurriedly bowed her head and replied: "Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong." ”

Zhao Mo nodded: "You go back, eat dinner with Fei's mother." I had dinner at Seifukan, and I would talk to my uncle and grandma for a while before I came back. You tell Mother Fei not to wait for me, go to bed early, you stay in the house, don't ask someone to come into my study, and then ask someone to prepare the bath water, I will use it when I come back. "Cousin Qin usually says that people should still take care of themselves cleanly, and they can have fewer illnesses a few times. Especially in this summer, people are covered in sweat when it is so hot, if you can't take a bath every day, how can you be refreshed? The smell alone is enough to choke people. Zhao Mo remembered this very well, and as long as conditions permitted, he would always clean himself diligently.

Qing Dai pursed her lips and smiled: "After my brother entered Beijing, he added a lot of habits that he didn't have before, and he became clean. In the past, in the palace, it would be good for my brother to take a shower once in three days, where is he so active now?"

Zhao Mo glanced at her helplessly: "I'm leaving." "Straight out of the second door. Qing Dai stood in the door and watched him go west from afar, before turning around and returning to Yan.

When Zhao Mo came to Qingfeng Pavilion, Qin Bai and Niu were talking to Brother Zi'er, the former asked his grandson about his grandson's homework today, and Niu smiled and praised his grandson for doing a good job. Seeing Zhao Mo coming in, Niu said with a smile: "Guanglu came early today, tonight's meal hasn't been delivered yet, but there is a good soup to clear the heat and cool off." You hurry up and drink a bowl of pads to cushion your stomach first. Then he told the girl to go to the kitchen again to urge the food.

Zhao Mo saw Qin Hanzhen sitting at the table drinking a bowl of soup, agreed with a smile, and leaned over by himself. Lily brought him a bowl of soup, and he took a sip: "This is Poria winter melon and duck soup? ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "Your tongue is quite powerful, what kind of soup can you taste in one bite?" I have to drink a few more sips to guess it." ”

Zhao Mo smiled, this soup was what he used to drink in the summer, so he naturally tasted it as soon as he tasted it. He glanced at Qin Bainiu's side, lowered his voice and asked Qin Hanzhen: "When did my sister come back? Did my uncle and grandmother mention that what did the daughters of the Xu family say when they came over during the day?

Qin Hanzhen also replied in a suppressed voice: "I asked my grandmother, and my grandmother said that Second Lady Xu and Grandma Xu were here to compensate for it, saying that Xu Xiu and Xu Lan misunderstood the family's thoughts, so they said something unruly, which made our family misunderstand." Grandma Xu made amends for her two daughters. Second Mrs. Xu said that the two families were originally close relatives, and they should continue to communicate as usual in the future, and not be estranged because of a small misunderstanding. ”

Zhao Mo showed a bit of sarcasm: "What does this have to do with those two Xu girls? Isn't it the girl from Songfeng Hall who is making her own opinion? Not only does the Xu family have to clean up the mess for their grandson, but even the girl who married the aunt's wife makes a mistake, so they have to ask about it?"

Qin Hanzhen shrugged: "I also think that the responsibility for this matter is not on the two girls of the Xu family, but the parents and mothers of the family feel that it doesn't matter, and they will not suffer any crimes, so let them say whatever they say." My grandmother told me that in fact, the Xu family just wanted to mess up this matter, and in the future, they would communicate with us as usual. Uncle and grandfather have lost their holy family now, and the uncles are still young, and the Qin family still has to rely on my grandfather to support them, and the Xu family doesn't want to offend us, but they still want to continue to make friends. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "I'm afraid that even the idea of marriage has not been dispelled." It's just that the uncles, grandparents, and grandparents are tired of them right now, so they have to temporarily restrain themselves, first please the uncles, grandparents, and then plan for the future. My cousin is on guard, don't bother with them if it's okay, it's just a person who tends to be inflammatory. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "Do you still need to be reminded of this kind of thing? My grandfather and grandmother also know it." Now it's just for the sake of the two cousins and uncles to save some face for the long house. Even if the Xu family tried to curry favor, my grandfather and grandmother would not easily agree to their requests. We have long recognized the true face of his family, and we will never be fooled. And I, anyway, don't have a chance to deal with them, so what do they think?"

Zhao Mo smiled, lowered his head and continued to drink the soup.

After a while, dinner arrived. Qin Bai and Niu took Brother Zi'er to sit at the dining table and had a meal with Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo. After the meal, the girl removed the banquet and sent tea, and Niu's nurse took Brother Zi'er down to take a bath, and when she turned around, she chatted with her husband, granddaughter and Zhao Mo about family life.

Chatting and chatting, she suddenly remembered something: "When the Xu family came here today, I heard them say that the birthday of the crown princess of the East Palace is approaching, and it seems to be the twenty-fourth of this month, right? The Xu family has put a lot of thought into this gift-giving. When I think about our family, should the three heads of the house give one share together, or do each room give it separately? I have never experienced this kind of thing before, and I really don't know the bottom of my heart. I have the heart to go to the long room to ask, I don't want to see my sister-in-law's face at this time, it's really annoying. ”

Qin Bai smiled and said, "This is easy to do, you can send someone to ask the second nephew and daughter-in-law." There must be people in this house who give gifts to the palace every year, and it is recorded in the account book. You don't know what to send, just follow the old routine of previous years, and you can't go wrong. If you are not at ease, you will ask Zhou Xiangnian to do it. He came out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he knows everything about this kind of thing, and he will take care of it for you, and the gift will not go wrong. ”

When the Niu family heard this, they decided to use Zhou Xiangnian, but just in case, the Yao family could also inquire about it. Although the Xu family often upsets her, the two nieces and daughters-in-law, Yao and Min, are still polite and get along well with her.

Qin Hanzhen listened on the side, subconsciously glanced at Zhao Mo, and saw that he looked thoughtful, so he asked Qin Bai with a smile: "Grandfather, the crown princess's birthday, do you also want to enter the palace to celebrate her birthday? Cousin Zhao and I have filial piety, it's inconvenient to go, right?"

Qin Bai smiled: "I don't have to go, your grandmother may have to go to the East Palace." It is said to be a birthday celebration, but it is just a matter of etiquette. The crown princess is very dignified and polite, and she will not really ask your grandmother to perform great etiquette, but she can take the opportunity to talk. You and Guanglu both have filial piety, and it is indeed inconvenient to enter the palace, but your grandmother and I will also prepare a congratulatory gift for you and bring it in. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and said to Qin Hanzhen: "Cousin, the nobles in the palace have a birthday, filial sons and daughters like us are not good at showing their faces, and they are unlucky." Not to mention the crown princess, the queen mother's birthday is on July 13, she is my grandmother in terms of seniority, and I don't dare to go into the palace to congratulate her. If you want to fulfill your filial piety, you can only wait until next year. ”

Qin Bai said: "You don't have to wait until next year, it is inconvenient for you to enter the palace, but you can write an excerpt to give the queen mother a birthday." Presumably the Queen Mother saw it and knew your filial piety, and her heart would be happy. ”

Zhao Mo was very clever: "Then I'll go back and write the excerpt, take it to my uncle and grandfather, and ask my uncle and grandfather to change it for me?"

Qin Bai nodded in agreement, and a smile appeared on Zhao Mo's face.

Needless to say, this fold didn't need to be sent by his father Zhao Shuo's hand, and the Qin family could do it for him. If the queen mother and the emperor in the palace really remember him because of this, he will be much better off in the future.

Zhao Mo's birthday excerpt for the Queen Mother was just a trivial matter, and Qin Bai was still worried about a big thing in his heart. After Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo left, he told his wife privately: "You have met the crown princess, if the occasion is convenient, remember to ask her about the prince's physical condition." We have been in Beijing for some days, and when I went to the palace in the past, I never saw His Royal Highness the Prince. When I asked the emperor, the emperor said that the prince was just a little weak and fine, and said that he was recuperating in the palace on the outskirts of Beijing and was not in the palace, so it was inconvenient to meet me. I asked the emperor where the prince was recuperating in the palace, but the emperor refused to tell me. I was a little uncertain in my heart, I was afraid that the prince would have something to do, and the emperor was afraid that I would be worried, so he deliberately hid it from me. ”

Niu Shi was taken aback: "Isn't it?" But considering that after their husband and wife entered Beijing, they had indeed never seen the prince, which was also quite strange. If Qin Bai is really healthy, why didn't the emperor arrange for the two of them to meet? If it was Qin Song, maybe there was still the possibility that the emperor hated him as a person and didn't want him to get close to the prince, but the emperor is now favoring Qin Bai, and Qin Bai has never seen the prince, so he should be reunited with his nephew. The emperor is delaying not letting them meet, there must be a reason!

Niu recalled what his eldest son Qin Ping once said: "Brother Ping seems to have mentioned that the prince is recuperating in the palace." His illness is getting worse now, and he spends most of the year recuperating in recuperation, and he can't help himself. Maybe it's because of this that the emperor didn't arrange for the two of you to meet. If the prince is really seriously ill, the gossip in the capital has already been flying everywhere, where can he hide it?" But think about Zhao Shuo, and then think about the new Shu King father and son, this gossip has indeed been flying all over the sky.

Qin Bai was silent for a moment before he said, "No matter what, on the birthday of the crown princess, as long as His Royal Highness the crown prince is okay, he will always return to the palace." Not to mention a few days, it is the birthday of the Queen Mother. After that, there will be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's own birthday. Even if he has been recuperating, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to go back to the city. If you can't see the crown prince, it's good to get a letter from the crown princess. The crown prince is the only flesh and blood of the queen mother, and the only child of my sister, and I have long been looking forward to seeing him. ”
