Qin Hanzhen really didn't have a biological sibling, but when Qin Jian looked back at her, he seemed to find the look of envy in her eyes.

He smiled slightly, stretched out a hand and touched Qin Hanzhen's head. For him, Qin Hanzhen is also a sister. may not be as important as Qin Jinhua, but she is also the sister he likes and loves.

Qin Hanzhen smiled back at him, then walked over to Qin Jinhua and sat down, comforting her in a low voice.

With the appeasement of his brother and cousin, Qin Jinhua quickly calmed down. She looked at them with some embarrassment, pursed her lips and smiled shyly: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Qin Jian smiled, sat down on the chair opposite her sisters again, and gave Qin Jinhua a few ideas for relaxation: "Do you want to go out to play?" Now that the weather is just right, we can go out for a walk while it is not yet the hottest." How about going to Zhuangzi in Changping? When we went back to the last time, you had a great time. This time, let's not go with the elders, just call the third sister and the fourth sister. He glanced at Qin Hanzhen, "If the third sister likes it, we can also count it as Guanglu." ”

Qin Hanzhen's face turned red suddenly, and he casually picked up a pillow and threw it in Qin Jian's face: "Do you have a brother like this? You want to see my jokes, don't you?" "Follow Zhao Mo out to play together? Of course it's good, but don't bring your elders? How is this possible? Ancient etiquette is not for fun. She's not interested in being treated as a gossip and gossip person.

Qin Jian grabbed the pillow and laughed a few times, then turned his head to look at his sister.

Qin Jinhua smiled and shook his head: "No, my brother is going to take the township exam this fall, and now it's time to study seriously and prepare for the exam, why bother with my business, disturbing your peace? If I want to relax, just go to Xifu every day." My mother is angry now, but she has to take care of the housework, so she can't chase me to Xifu all the time. I'm with my third sister, so I guess I can still enjoy some peace. ”

Qin Hanzhen proposed to her: "The second aunt persuaded me before, asking me to work with you to be the host, and invite a few friends to have a poetry meeting." I think that Pei Yin is weird now, if she has a poetry meeting, she will be counted, and it will be easy to spoil the fun. The quarrel between the second uncle and the second uncle is because of the Tang family's family affairs, and now may not be a good time to invite Miss Tang to come to the door. Miss Zhang: I don't know her well. In this way, let's just don't hold any poetry meetings and tea parties, let's just invite Sister Cai and Sister Yu to my house for tea and chat, how about we? Let's count Cousin Lu as well, just chat with a few friends of the same age, and even the fifth sister doesn't need to be alarmed. ”

Qin Jinhua hesitated: "But...... My father was angry with my mother because my mother wanted to invite Sister Yu in your name, in fact...... Actually, I wanted to hit her idea. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "That's different. The second aunt wanted me to hold a poetry meeting in your garden, but now I invited Sister Cai and Sister Yu to come to my house to play, and I want to hold a tea party, also in my garden. Second sister, you are just here to be a companion, not the host, so you don't need to worry about the second aunt. What can she do? If she can't resist coming to our party, I'll ask the girl to invite her to my grandmother or aunt. ”

Qin Jinhua was a little moved. She hadn't been in contact with her friends for a few days, and she missed them.

Qin Jian asked Qin Hanzhen: "Is it really okay?, if it wasn't a poetry meeting, what name would you use to invite those two girls?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "It's not easy, we invited Sister Cai for the sake of Cousin Lu, and we want her to be closer to her future sister-in-law." Sister Cai also understands in her heart and will never refuse. As for Sister Yu, in fact, I had promised her a long time ago that I would invite her to visit my grandfather's collection of calligraphy and painting books at home. Later, her mother fell ill, and she had to serve the sick and never had time to go out. I sent her a letter asking how her house was doing, and she told me that her mother was well and that she was sure she could go out. With her love for poetry, calligraphy and painting, as long as I made an invitation and she was free, there was no reason to refuse. ”

Qin Jian said to Qin Jinhua: "In this case, then invite these two girls to come to the door as guests." My sister doesn't have to think about marriage or not, it's all something that the elders have to worry about. Now the mother has annoyed the father, and sooner or later she will have to give in. We just have to follow our father's arrangement. You just think it's just to meet up with your friends, talk and laugh, and put aside your worries for a while. ”

Qin Hanzhen also took Qin Jinhua's hand and said, "Yes." This is the first time I have had a treat since I received the marriage offer. Sister Yu is okay, she is a person with a cold temperament, and she is also kind, so she won't laugh at me, but Sister Cai is difficult to say. "Especially the crown princess once wanted to match Cai Yuanzhen and Zhao Mo, but fortunately, Cai Yuanzhen reported to her in time, and now that she and Zhao Mo can achieve marriage, how can she say thank you to Cai Yuanzhen.

Qin Hanzhen said to Qin Jinhua: "Second sister accompanies me, if they make fun of me, you must protect me." ”

Qin Jinhua's heart was suddenly filled with a sense of responsibility as an older sister: "No problem, you just leave it to me!"

After a round of discussion, the three brothers and sisters discussed all aspects of this simple little gathering.

Seeing that Qin Jinhua had recovered his mood, Qin Hanzhen was also relieved. It was not too early, so she got up and took her leave.

Qin Jian stopped her and took out a letter from her arms: "Guanglu asked me to bring you a letter, saying that I originally wanted to come to see you, but I was stopped by the third uncle ancestor in the outer courtyard." No matter how much he suffers from lovesickness, he can't go beyond the high walls. In desperation, he thought that you were too close to each other and could not meet, so he could only comfort me with letters and ask me to be a messenger. ”

"Ahh

Qin Jian almost rolled his eyes: "I'm relaying Guanglu's original words to you, and I haven't added or subtracted a word." If you can't stand it, when you reply, remember to tell him not to say such sensual things in front of me. I'm older than him, and I don't even have an eyebrow about my marriage, and he's full of ambition, so why bother to poke his friend's heart?"

Qin Hanzhen covered his mouth and ran away with a smile.

Zhao Mo seemed to be a little unkind in doing this. But what can be done? They haven't seen each other for days, and it would be pitiful if they couldn't even communicate. In fact, Zhao Mo only needs to be more restrained in front of Qin Jian. Qin Hanzhen has eaten his grandfather and grandmother's dog food since he was a child, and he knows the pain of a single dog, and he can't bear to harm the kind-hearted lobby brother.

She hurried back and read the letter before speaking. When she replies to the letter, she will remember to remind her fiancé to care more about the single dog.

Qin Jian sent her cousin away, angry and funny. He was also happy for his friends and cousins to see that they were in harmony and intimacy. My friend and cousin have experienced all kinds of misfortunes in their childhoods, and I hope that they will not have to suffer again in the future and can live their lives safely and smoothly.

Turning around, Qin Jian looked at her sister: "I'll go over and tell my mother in a while that the third sister invited you to be a guest." For the time being, there is no need to mention who the third sister invited to the house, just say that the third sister saw that you were upset and invited you to relax. If you want, simply stay in Xifu for a few days, it will be more convenient. ”

Qin Jinhua pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile: "No." My mother was so sad, even if I couldn't tell her anything, I had to comfort her from time to time, and move to Xifu, wouldn't I leave my mother alone? ”

Qin Jian didn't force it, but she was afraid that her sister would leak her mouth, so she volunteered to find her mother to talk about something.

Yao was greeting guests at this time. Qin Youzhen has been preparing for her daughter's marriage recently, and she has to take care of her son who is preparing for the exam hard, so she has nothing to spare, but today she suddenly came to find her, which surprised her.

If it was in the past, how could the Yao family have asked Qin Youzhen what dowry she had prepared for Lu Yueniang, and what was the dowry gift sent by the Marquis of Yunyang, but in the past few days, she was a little embarrassed, and she was a little interested in the things she cared about before, so she didn't ask.

She didn't ask, but Qin Youzhen talked about the progress of her daughter's preparation for marriage. She came to Yao's today to ask for help.

Although she is the daughter of the Qin family, and she was raised by the Xu family in the long house since she was a child, and now she has returned to Beijing with her husband and children, and she is also temporarily living in the Qin family's house. However, after all, she is the daughter of the second room, and the second room has already separated from the family. It's just because she doesn't want to get involved with her mother and brother in the second room, and she wants to use the power of the long house to find a job for her husband, so she has been staying in the Chengenhou Mansion. But when the daughter is married, she has to consider the issue of leaving the cabinet. The meaning of the Yunyang Hou Mansion is that he is looking forward to the wedding as soon as possible, after all, Cai Shizi is over twenty years old, and it is not good to delay the major events in his life. But the daughter of the Lu family is out of the Qin family, and there are always some people who are not right.

The Lu family has no real estate in the capital, and it used to be unnecessary, the Lu family once had a Beijing official, but it has long been old, and the other children are all released and bought property in the capital, that is, the children of the clan live when they participate in the examination or return to Beijing to report after being an official, and they can only abandon the wasteland at ordinary times. In that case, living in a clan hall or inn, or borrowing a relative's house or renting a temporary house can solve the trouble, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy a property. Housing prices in the capital are not cheap. Now Qin Youzhen feels that even if it is to add a dowry to her daughter, she should buy a decent property.

She had already taken a look at several places, but because she had been away from the capital for too long and had never been familiar with related matters, she had to ask for help from the Yao family, who was born in an old family in the capital. Whether it's inquiring about the situation of these houses, or finding a reliable broker when trading, and going to the government after completing the transaction, she needs help.

When Yao heard that this was the case, he naturally agreed: "This is all a trivial matter, and I will let Chang Xing and his family go to Fuguiju when I go back." If Mrs. Gu wants to do anything, just tell him. The two of them have become acquainted with each other in the capital, and they are the most experienced in doing things. ”

Qin Youzhen was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Yao. Yao didn't take this matter to heart, and when he casually ordered it, he didn't think about keeping it secret. As a result, the news that Qin Youzhen was going to buy real estate soon reached Xu's ears.
