Chapter 197: Entering the Garden
In a blink of an eye, it was the Queen Mother's birthday. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe Qin family is a double marquis, both a lord and a prince, so naturally he wants to enter the palace. Except for Qin Song, the Marquis of Chengen, who was "sick" at home, and Qin Hanzhen, who had filial piety, all other decent people went to the palace to celebrate his birthday. Qin Hanzhen was very idle, and just as her homework had stopped, she simply went to Qingfeng Pavilion to see the books of her grandfather Qin Bai, and fiddled with the valuable and interesting gadgets that Qin Bai collected when he was young.
Except for Qin Song, who doesn't care about anything and doesn't leave the yard, there are no other elders in the family, and the concubines in the long room and the second room can't control Qin Hanzhen's head, she feels quite relaxed. Although I go to school every day to go to the garden boat hall, I go to the classroom early in the morning, and the recess is short, and I have to rush back to the yard for lunch after class, and I really haven't seriously visited the garden. She just knows the general layout of the garden, knows where there are some buildings, and she really hasn't played in it properly.
Qin Hanzhen looked at the textbook at hand and felt that he needed to relax. After months of hard study, she already felt tired psychologically, and recently she was worried about Zhao Mo's affairs, until her grandfather Qin Bai returned home and behaved calmly every day, which made her feel relieved. In addition to being too soft-hearted and easy to think too well of others, his grandfather is still very reliable. Since he said that it was okay, then Zhao Mo must not be in danger. In that case, she didn't have to worry too much. Otherwise, when the elders come back, how many people will she have to go to the garden to get permission to go to the garden?
Qin Hanzhen thought so, and looked at the clothes on his body, a green shirt and skirt, narrow sleeves, skirt length and upper, it was quite convenient to act. She found a small silver incense ball from her grandfather's study, grabbed a handful of incense that could smoke mosquitoes, put it and lit it, then found a light oil-paper umbrella, sleeved a folding fan, and went out.
Qing Xing, who followed her today, saw her go out, and hurriedly followed: "Where are you going, girl?" reached out to take the umbrella and incense ball in her hand.
Qin Hanzhen said: "I want to go to the garden, do you want to go with me?"
Qingxing naturally wanted to go along, took the umbrella, and glanced at it strangely, a little puzzled why Qin Hanzhen brought this, the weather was obviously very good. But she didn't struggle for long, and quickly followed.
Qin Hanzhen didn't explain much that this umbrella was used to shade the sun, and this was not fashionable in this era, so he just had it with him anyway. She shook the incense ball and was about to step out of the courtyard gate of Qingfeng Pavilion, but bumped into Zhao Mo head-on.
Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened: "Cousin Zhao, why are you here?!" Didn't you hear that Zhao Mo was coming back today?
Zhao Mo smiled slightly, turned around and instructed Mother Fei and a few girls behind him: "Mom, let's go back to my yard with the luggage and settle down first, I'll talk to my cousin here, and wait for my uncle and grandfather to come back to check my homework." Fei's mother saluted in response, and beckoned a few girls to leave. Qin Hanzhen recognized that among the few girls, two of them were lent out by Qin Jian, two were brought by Zhao Mo when he came back from Zhao Shuo that day, and there were two girls with faces, which must be the two eyes and ears sent by the step-concubine of the King of Liao.
These two girls look to be fifteen or sixteen years old, one is plump and delicate, the other has beautiful facial features and is slender, although they are not very old, they are both smart, like budding flowers, but one is like a rose, the other is like a white orchid, and they are good at winning.
Qin Hanzhen stared at them twice, and his inference became more and more certain in his heart. I didn't expect Zhao Mo to take the two of them back to Chengenhou's Mansion. Thinking that there were actually two spies in his own house, Qin Hanzhen felt uncomfortable.
Zhao Mo didn't notice Qin Hanzhen's thoughts, he just smiled and asked her, "Cousin, is this going out?"
Qin Hanzhen said angrily: "It is the sun that is so powerful that you have to bring an umbrella! Who said that an umbrella can only be used to block the rain, not to shade the sun?!"
After finishing speaking, she woke up again that her tone seemed to be a little impulsive, which was too impolite, so she hurriedly calmed down and changed to a softer tone: "I'm sorry, Cousin Zhao, I was a little uneasy just now, and I didn't pay attention to the tone of my speech for a while, don't be surprised." After apologizing, he hurriedly asked, "Those two girls are the people sent to you by the Liao princess? Why did you come back at this time? I thought you would stay in the Liao palace for at least a few more days." ā
Originally, after Qin Bai returned to the city, he was going to send someone to take Zhao Mo back to the Qin family. But Zhao Mo came back through Qin Jian's little servant, saying that he had something to do in the Liao Wangfu and couldn't go back for the time being. Qin Bai saw that he was not in danger in the Liao Wang's mansion, and the Liao King and the Liao Wang's step-concubine were very good to him, so they went with him. Now that Zhao Mo suddenly returned home, it was no wonder that Qin Han was really puzzled.
Zhao Mo smiled and said: "I don't have anything to do in the palace, I have paid tribute to the prince early this morning, and I am going back to my uncle's house." The prince also said, let me sort out my homework, ask my uncle and grandfather to see it as soon as possible, and then assign me a new one. In less than two days, my father will probably send someone to pick me up for a few days. ā
Qin Hanzhen was a little inexplicable when he heard this: "Ah? This is an appointment between the Liao prince and your father?" Take Zhao Mo over to live for a few days, and then send him back to the Qin family?
Zhao Mo smiled and didn't answer, but changed the topic: "My cousin specially brought a paper umbrella to shade the sun, could it be that he wants to play in the garden?" Otherwise, just go back to Mingyuewu, and the sun will shine again, and there is no need to spend this matter." It just so happened that I had just come back from the car, and I was about to take a walk and stretch my muscles, so I accompanied my sister to visit the garden. I have heard that the garden of Chengenhou Mansion is beautiful, but I have never had the opportunity to appreciate it, which is a pity. ā
Qin Hanzhen originally thought that Zhao Mo was back, and he didn't need to go to the garden to pass the time, but when he heard him say this, his heart suddenly snorted, thinking that Zhao Mo would have some confidential matters to discuss with her, afraid that the wall in the house would have ears, so he went to the garden to find a wide place to say?
She said very cooperatively: "Okay, I went to the garden before, and I didn't have a good time to enjoy it, but today is the first time I have visited seriously, and I happened to be a companion with my cousin." ā
Zhao Mo took the incense ball in her hand with a smile, and walked side by side with her in the direction of the garden, only bringing Qingxing and a girl with him.
They walked along the familiar road, passed the Bright Moon Dock, crossed the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, crossed the bridge, and came to the gate of the garden.
The gate of the garden is guarded, and the woman can see Qin Hanzhen every day, but she also recognizes her, but she doesn't recognize Zhao Mo very much. However, with Qin Hanzhen's current age, when her mother-in-law saw that she brought a teenager into the garden, she didn't have the brains to make up any drama about the "private meeting in the boudoir", but just stepped forward and asked: "Third girl, this young master is ......"
Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "Haven't you seen him? He lives in Yanhui, and he is also a relative of our family." You call him Zhao Xiaogongzi. ā
The woman instantly understood, and saluted Zhao Mo with trepidation: "The little one has seen a nobleman!"
Zhao Mo smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I have lived in this mansion for so long, and I have never entered the garden, so I am curious." Cousin Qin wants to go into the park to play today, I asked her to be a guide for me, I wonder if it will be a taboo in the house?"
Where is there any taboo in the house? The young masters and young ladies in the family can come to play at any time, but the children who are too young will be stopped by the elders. The woman immediately gave way and asked them if they needed to lead the way? She knew in her heart that Qin Hanzhen had only been in the mansion for a few months, and she was not familiar with this garden.
Qin Hanzhen still remembered in his heart that Zhao Mo might want to tell him some secrets, so he said: "You don't need to find someone to lead the way, this garden is not that big, I come to school every day, and the general direction and road are all recognized, so I won't get lost." Even if you really get lost, you can still tell the direction by staring at the building behind the garden. I'm going to have to go there on my own. ā
So she and Zhao Mo entered the garden so smoothly. They also instructed the mother-in-law who guarded the gate that if anyone came looking for them, they should shout loudly in the garden, and when they heard it, they would come out of it, and there was no need to send people to look for them.
Qin Hanzhen led Zhao Mo to the ship hall first. No way, it was the place she knew best. In addition, there are tables and chairs in the ship's hall, which is convenient for sitting and talking, and the hall is surrounded by glass windows, so if someone approaches, you can see it at a glance. Then send Qingxing to guard at the entrance, naturally foolproof.
After Qin Hanzhen made arrangements, he sat down at his desk: "What does Cousin Zhao want to tell me?" ā
Zhao Mo was stunned, and only after a while did he realize what her words meant, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
He really wanted to accompany her around the garden. Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could know from Qin Jian's return how worried she was about herself these days. Let her be frightened for so long, he couldn't help it, and he wanted to make up for her. Since Qin Han really wanted to visit the garden, he naturally had to accompany him to the end. Unexpectedly, it made her misunderstand......
Zhao Mo looked at Qin Hanzhen and slowed down his tone: "What does my cousin want to know?" But if I know anything and have no taboos, I will tell you. I didn't want my cousin to know about that mess, for fear that you would worry about it. But now that you don't know anything, it seems that you are more worried, so why should I make you sad? Actually, it's not a big deal, and my cousin is not a stubborn person, so what does it matter if you know? Just read your books with peace of mind, learn your piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, play with Brother Zi'er in your spare time, and laugh with your uncle and grandma. I'd better leave the affairs outside to them. ā
Qin Han's words were really soft, and she also slowed down her expression: "If it's really inconvenient, don't say it." I don't have to know, I'm just worried about the risks you will encounter. ā
Zhao Mo shook his head with a smile: "There is no risk. In the eyes of others, I'm just a small person, and I'm useless except to carry it around. No one else looks down on me, so what risk can I have?"
Qin Hanzhen blinked: "Who is this 'other person'?"
