Zhao Mo rushed out of the garden, and when he met Qin Jian at the door, the latter was startled. Looking back and forth, I thought I was wrong, but in fact, Zhao Mo came out from behind when he didn't pay attention.

Zhao Mo had just learned a secret route to Qin Hanzhen's courtyard, and he was in a good mood. Even if that route was very simple, even Qin Hanzhen didn't take it on weekdays, it was an unexpected joy for him. He didn't plan to tell Qin Jian this secret, so he only asked with a smile: "But someone is coming?" It's not too early, let's go back to the banquet." ”

Qin Jian had long been looking forward to his coming back soon, and went back to the banquet with him, at this time, he naturally grabbed people and walked out, and sighed at the same time: "I was really nervous just now, I have never been so panicked, I was afraid that someone would come out, I didn't stop him, and told him to break into the courtyard of the third sister." I really can't do this kind of thing in the future, you have to go and meet the third sister secretly, and don't pull me. I'm too timid to be surprised. ”

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "You just looked calm, but now you say that you are timid, I don't believe it." ”

Qin Jian rolled his eyes at him: "That's because I'm pretending well! Could it be that I still want people to see how weak and sneaky I am, so that people can see something strange as soon as they look at me?"

Zhao Mo laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, I will never forget your affection." Don't worry, I have what you want to do. As long as I can, I will definitely help you!"

Qin Jian blushed slightly: "What do you say? I also hope that you can be in harmony with your third sister for the rest of your life, not just to let you do me any favor, so I look out for you." What do you think of me when you say this?"

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "How could I misunderstand your character? It's just that I have received your benefits and want to reciprocate." If you are going to argue with me over such a trivial matter, you are not really thinking of me as a brother. ”

Qin Jian snorted: "You and I used to be brothers, but now, you have to call me brother-in-law, and you have to respect me and obey me in everything." Otherwise, I'll speak ill of you in front of my third sister!" he snorted proudly twice as he spoke.

Zhao Mo listened funny: "I'm so scared, brother-in-law, you must protect me." How can we say that we have many years of friendship!"

Qin Jian raised his eyebrows: "Then it depends on how much sincerity you have." As he spoke, he showed an expression of "Come and please me".

Zhao Mo couldn't help but laugh again.

They soon returned to the feast in the front yard. Except for the young master of the Qin Palace, who immediately noticed their movements, thinking that they had just returned from a small rest, not many people said anything about their reappearance. King Qin's father and son became the focus of the banquet today, most of them were trying to find a way to talk to them, and some people were concerned about the unexpectedly close relationship between the third room of the Qin family and the Qin Palace. Some insiders talked about the thrilling experience of King Qin who was in distress outside Yulin City, was rescued by Qin Ping, and then walked all the way to Beijing. Naturally, it is inevitable that the former Jin princess who died that year and the former Jin prince's son Zhao Jielai were mentioned in passing.

Zhao Jie's ex-wife, the third aunt and grandmother of the Wang family, is said to be an aunt and nephew with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, Yao, and the relationship has always been very close. Now that the third aunt and grandmother of the Wang family have returned, Zhao Jie is getting worse and worse, recalling his glorious past, many people feel quite ironic. It just so happened that Zhao Mo's father, Zhao Shuo, had also embarked on Zhao Mo's old path, and now his life is also not very good, and there are more people who discuss this matter in private. Someone with a heart said in front of King Qin to test what he thought of those children of the clan who were interested in joining the royal family, but King Qin didn't answer a word. If someone asks a tight question, he will stare at the person with a straight face, until the person is stunned, and he will not dare to try again, so he will give up.

Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao were both shrewd people, and when they saw that the wind direction at the banquet seemed to be wrong, they immediately thought of pulling everyone's topic back. The brothers worked together, one steadily guided the topic in front of several distinguished guests, and the other pulled a few famous gentlemen in the circle of imperial relatives and relatives around Zhao Mo to toast him, laughing and making trouble, drawing everyone's attention over. Everyone was watching those young people making fun of Zhao Mo, who was married today, giggling and laughing happily, where could they care about the topic of royal succession? That was not something that should be mentioned on such an occasion today!

Qin Zhonghai saw that the wind in the banquet had finally turned in the right direction, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. He gave his brother a look and asked the latter to continue to control the field, but he turned around and went to find someone else. He has two brothers, who are here today, and they need to be kept an eye on them, lest they make a mistake.

Qin Zhonghai watched Qin Bofu chatting harmoniously with the people at the next table from a distance, he didn't see him drinking for too long, and there was nothing out of line with his words and deeds, and even his expression was normal joy, at most he was a little flattering, and he was much more relieved. He was really worried that Qin Bofu would not be able to help but step forward and stammer, but he didn't grasp the balance and lost the face of the Qin family. Now it seems that it is okay, no matter how snobbish Qin Bofu is, he has not become a fool, and he knows in his heart that instead of building relationships with other strange guests and offering hospitality, it is better to hug the thighs of the third room and the grandson-in-law of the third room.

But when Qin Zhonghai approached Qin An next, his heart, which had just been relieved, was raised again.

Qin An came back to the capital after taking leave from the camp in western Beijing for the sake of his nephew Wending. He had only been given two days off, and he had to go back to the barracks tomorrow evening before the gates were closed. Since he hit the capital and reported to the camp in the west of Beijing, he has almost never left the Changping territory, although there are a lot of letters, but how can he compare to seeing his wife and children with his own eyes?

Xiao Feng is now eight months pregnant, her belly is high and bulging, and it is said that she often does not sleep well at night, and her complexion is much worse. However, compared to when she first arrived in the capital, she looked like she might miscarry at any time, which was already a lot stronger. Today is the day when Qin Hanzhen is decided, Xiao Feng feels that his physical condition is fine, and insists that he must show his face at the banquet, at most he doesn't care. This can almost be regarded as the first time she has shown her face in front of the ladies of the elite circle in the capital, no matter what she wears, words or deeds, she will not allow herself to make any mistakes.

His wife was so strict, and Qin An was also affected a little, for fear that she would stumble or be annoyed by someone, so since the banquet, she has gone seven or eight times. Several times he wanted to take a break from the banquet and run back to his yard to see his wife. If it weren't for the girls saying that Xiao Feng had been staying in the guest seat and had not returned to the West Courtyard, Qin An might have left the venue a long time ago.

It was precisely because he had been a little absent-minded that Qin An didn't pay attention to what others were asking him, and replied in a daze: "Yes, our generals have always been very strict in governing the army. Now that he is in charge of the camp in western Beijing, in order to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the future, he must properly rectify military discipline and check the accounts. At this time, the general will not let the offender go lightly. If you let it go at the beginning, how will you be strict with the army in the future?"

The face of the person standing opposite him turned a little pale: "Oh? I just don't know if General Ma has found anyone now, and what is he going to do with them? If I want to go to the military headquarters, I can help a little. ”

Qin An was stunned, and then showed a look of surprise: "Really, our general is trying to ......" Before he finished speaking, Qin Zhonghai hurriedly took two steps forward and interrupted them: "Fifth brother, why are you here? Come on, come on, your third brother is in front of you to toast the king of Suning County, saying that he is trying to test the amount of alcohol of his niece and son-in-law." Aren't you coming along?" After speaking, he pulled Qin An away, without giving others the slightest chance to interject.

When he arrived at the place where he was avoiding, Qin Zhonghai whispered to Qin An: "What did you say to that guest? What do you General Ma want to do in the camp in Jingxi, if you want to let outsiders know, you don't need to tell you, the news will naturally come out." But if General Ma doesn't want outsiders to know what he plans to do in advance, but you leak it out in a daze, and when you return to the camp, how can you see General Ma?"

Qin An suddenly woke up and said anxiously: "What should I do? I was so absent-minded that I didn't even pay attention for a while! Besides, that person had been to the camp a few times before, and he was very familiar with our general, so it stands to reason that even if he really knew something, it should be fine." ”

Qin Zhonghai sneered: "Is it okay, your general naturally knows it." What are you doing in the barracks? You don't have to get into trouble! In short, you spend your days in the barracks and don't socialize with people outside. The capital is different from Datong, people have more sperm, and they will be able to unknowingly pull out the news they want from your mouth. ”

Qin An sneered: "I was negligent." Second brother, don't be angry. I'll be careful in the future!"

Qin Zhonghai patted him on the shoulder, feeling that it didn't matter if this cousin didn't appear at the banquet rarely, anyway, he had already shown his face, so he said, "The fifth brother and sister are also in the table today, right? It's rare for you to go home, care more about her. She is giving birth to children for you, although you are busy with official business, you can't push everything to the third uncle, the third aunt and the third girl, so you can't do anything. ”

Qin An smirked: "I didn't think so. The general forbade me to return to the city on leave, so I had to stay in the barracks all the time. But in fact, I miss my wife and daughter, and I miss it so much. This time I came back, although the days were short, I still wanted to spend more time with her. ”

Qin Zhonghai smiled and said: "In that case, what are you still doing here?" I see that it is the first time for my younger brother and sister to attend such an occasion, even if they are unwell, I am afraid that they will be reluctant to go down to rest. Go and send her back to the West Courtyard, and she'll listen to you. If you are really unwell, remember to ask a doctor, and don't worry about bad luck. The third uncle, the third aunt and the third girl are all sensible people, so they will naturally agree, and the bodies of the younger siblings are more important. ”

Qin An answered, turned around to find his father Qin Bai said hello, said that he was going to send his wife back to the room, and left after getting permission. In the second half of the banquet, Qin An never appeared again in the front yard.

The person who wanted to get more information from him showed a disappointed expression, frowned and tilted his neck to drink a full glass of wine.

Qin Zhonghai, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, had a hint of sarcasm on his face, picked up his wine glass, and slowly tasted the taste of the wine.
