After the tea party, Qin Hanzhen took the lotus stamen to go home through the small door, and watched the scenery while walking on the way. In late autumn, the moon season planted in the evening incense pavilion still blooms, and the wind sends bursts of incense, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Qin Hanzhen has been away from home for a long time, and now that he is idle, he asks Lianrui about the recent news of the two prefectures, just as a pastime on the road. Because at today's tea party, several of their sisters talked about the relatives of the two cousins, and Lian Rui first told Qin Hanzhen about the rumors.

Changfang is indeed looking at people for Qin Jinhua. Because the family has been separated, Qin Jinhua's marriage does not have to be ranked after his cousin Qin Jinyi. She's going to be in time for April next year, and it's time to see each other sooner. When there is a suitable candidate, as soon as she and the ceremony are over next year, the two parties can officially get engaged. If you are ready to get married or something, you must work hard for a year or two, and sixteen or seventeen years old is the best age.

As for the eldest brother Qin Jian in front of her, it is easy to do. Although he is almost eighteen years old, it is not a big deal for the boy to get married later. Qin Jian has now won the Xiucai fame, and he will take the township test next fall, and now is the time to study hard. Qin Zhonghai and Yao's husband and wife are looking forward to him being able to pass the exam next year, and with his fame, he will be more decent in the future, and maybe his daughter-in-law's family background will be better in the future. Therefore, they planned to settle the marriage of the eldest daughter first, and then consider the son. As for Qin Su, the fifteen-year-old concubine this year, Yao was too lazy to pay attention to it, and Qin Zhonghai didn't think about it for the time being, so he was still continuing to study hard.

As for the people Qin Zhonghai and Yao family intended to tell Qin Jinhua, there are also a few, and the rumors change every few days, and Lian Rui is just listening to the sound in the girl's mother-in-law, but she can't say for sure. But there are a few people who are said to be very likely, and she knows a little bit.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the Xu family. Chengenhou's wife Xu's maiden family, there are two nephews and grandchildren who have not yet married wives, and they are all worthy of Qin Jinhua.

Among them, the eldest Xu Zheng is nineteen years old this year, and the marriage has not been decided until today, for the same reason as Qin Jian. However, he has obtained the fame of lifting people, and he is a famous young man in the capital, handsome and talented, and he is very respected. The Xu family hopes that he will be able to pass the next year's entrance examination. Jinshi, who is in his early twenties, is also one of the number one people in this dynasty, are you still afraid that you will not be able to marry a famous lady when the time comes? Because of his excellence, Yao, who used to dislike him a little, also began to feel that he was better, although he was older, Xu Zheng and Qin Jinhua were cousins of childhood sweethearts, and they got along better than strangers.

In the past, only the children of the Wang family and the Yao family could be seen. But now the Wang family has almost returned to their hometown, leaving only the fourth master of the long house and a few children of the side branches in Beijing, the former is to enter the country to study, to prepare for the second impact exam, and the latter is a low-level petty official in Beijing. It is said that the entire street where the Wang family originally lived was almost empty, and it could not be compared with when it was prosperous in the past. Even if the Wang family is still a family of eunuchs, there are many children who have become officials, and there are several noble in-laws in the capital, but they are not as good as before after all. The Yao family never mentioned that they wanted to marry their daughter back to the Wang family, and the Yao family was disgusted by Qin Zhonghai because the blood relationship was too close. Neither of these two families succeeded, and the Xu family naturally fell into the eyes of the Yao family.

Xu Zheng's excellence is something that everyone can see. is obviously his own relative, and he has grown up since he was a child, since he has not yet decided on a marriage at this time, there is no reason to watch him cheapen others.

There is also Xu Rong, he is fifteen years old this year, only one year older than Qin Jinhua, he is more suitable in terms of age, he looks good, he is gentle and kind, he has always been very considerate in front of his sisters, and he is very good at hurting people. But when it comes to talent, he is worse than his brother Xu Zheng, and now he is just a child, and he is not even as talented as Qin Jian. Therefore, although Second Lady Xu and Second Grandmother Xu were very enthusiastic about marrying the Chengenhou Mansion, the Yao family still felt that they were not very agreeable.

Now the two brothers of the Xu family, Xu Zheng is too outstanding, the Yao family can see it, but Mrs. Xu is bent on marrying a wife with a better family background and more outstanding talents for her grandson; Xu Rong's parents are very satisfied with Qin Jinhua, but the Yao family thinks that he is not as good as Xu Zheng. The two families continue to communicate as usual on the surface, but in private, they don't know how many lawsuits they have fought. Chengenhou's wife Xu once thought of matchmaking, but her sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, did not agree to Xu Zheng and Qin Jinhua's family affair, but proposed another marriage as an alternative - Xu Zheng's sister-in-law Xu Xiu was given to Qin Jian, and it was still two families who were close to each other, and they were all happy.

Yao was not happy again. She thinks that her son is also very outstanding, and she wants him to marry a daughter-in-law with all four corners. What does Xu Xiu have? She can look up to Xu Zheng, or because Xu Zheng is excellent himself, but he doesn't fancy the Xu family.

Now the two families are still deadlocked.

Lian Rui told Qin Hanzhen: "Actually, the second grandmother of the Xu family came to see Mrs. later, and I heard that the girl was mentioned again, and she wanted to tell the girl to her son." Only then did she show some meaning, but Mrs. refused on the spot, and the second grandmother of the Xu family never mentioned this matter again. Later, when I saw others, they all pretended to be fine. ”

Qin Han was really surprised: "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard my grandmother talk about it?"

Lian Rui said with a smile: "This is just a trivial matter, Madame is just afraid that she doesn't take it to heart at all, why bother to talk to the girl? In fact, the second grandmother of the Xu family has no eyes, and the king of Suning County is now getting along with the girl, the girl's future has long been decided, where is it their turn to get their son? Mrs. Hou Ye refused back then, she still refused to give up, she had to ask again, and she was embarrassed and self-inflicted. ”

Qin Hanzhen took a sip of her: "What nonsense? When it comes to the Xu family, why did it go around to Cousin Zhao? When was my future determined? Why don't I know?!"

Lian Rui covered her mouth and smiled: "Girl, I'm embarrassed, in fact, our own family knows it, so you don't have to hide it." ”

Qin Hanzhen was angry and funny: "What do you know?!Shut up!"

Lian Rui covered her mouth with a handkerchief, smiled and said no more. Qin Hanzhen glared at her a few times, but her face was already hot, thinking that she had returned to her own homeland, in case she called someone to pass by and see her, it would be easy to make trouble, so she turned her head and walked directly to her yard, without saying a word.

Back in the room, Qin Hanzhen was still a little embarrassed. Zhao Mo has never returned to the capital since he went down to Jiangnan that year, Lian Rui hasn't seen him for so many years, what can he know? There will be gossip between her and Zhao Mo, and it is not because of the letters and gifts he sends every year...... Even if it is for his own sister, there is no reason for such courtesy, let alone the things sent, many of them are valuable, and they are exquisite and rare, and they are full of thought.

It's like the rich and handsome in modern society who pursue girls, send flowers, clothes, and jewelry to please people. Replaced by Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County in ancient times, the flowers sent were pots of rare species, or potted plants cultivated by himself; the clothes sent were winter clothes made of Suning's special fur in the autumn and winter, or the tribute materials given by the palace, and he divided a part of them; as for the jewelry, they are all high-end customization, so I don't have to mention it. Suning Palace's Mansion is now no more than when Zhao Mo first went, it already has a grand mansion, with all subordinate officials, retinues, and personal guards in the palace, as well as private craftsmen specially recruited by Zhao Mo. Custom-made farm tools are not a problem, let alone just a few pieces of jewelry?

Zhao Mo has been in the fiefdom for three and a half years, and he has never left the fiefdom or been to Beijing, so he stays in the fiefdom and farms so patiently. But he never gave filial piety to the palace during the New Year's holidays, and his father, Zhao Shuo, the son of King Liao, gave gifts as usual. On the side of Yongjiahou Mansion, almost every month, letters and gifts are non-stop. Zhao Mo never concealed such behavior, the palace did not speak, Zhao Shuo did not say a word, and Qin Bai and the Niu family also acquiesced. Although Qin Hanzhen always felt that this seemed to be a bit against the rules that her cousin Wu Shaoying reminded her to pay attention to, her grandparents felt that it was nothing, so how could she raise an objection at an inopportune time?

As a result, she didn't know what to talk about outside, but within the Yongjiahou Mansion, everyone seemed to think that she was destined to marry Zhao Mo and become the princess of Suning in the future.

"Cunning little bastard!" Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but curse secretly, and his face was so red that he couldn't help but want to hit someone. It's a pity that Zhao Mo is not here, otherwise she would really be mad at him. At this point, where did she not know, this was Zhao Mo's intention? Because he was trapped in Suning County and couldn't get out, he couldn't stay with her all the time like before, so in case someone took the lead, he actually deliberately released such a rumor, so that everyone misunderstood that they had a marriage contract between them, so that no one would come to the door to propose marriage to her without eyes. Even if he is as glamorous as the Xu family, once he is rejected, he will retreat happily and never mention it again.

How old is this child? Obviously the age of a high school student, why is he full of heart?

can give birth to such a son, how can Zhao Shuo, who is Lao Tzu, become stupid to become what he is now? Obviously, Zhao Mo told his henchmen that Lan Xue and Lan Fusheng had a problem, but Lan Xue is still living well in his backyard, and it is rumored that he is still honored, and the son he gave birth to is still favored by Zhao Shuo. Even that Lan Fusheng was rumored to be coming back from Liaodong. I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup these two people poured into Zhao Shuo, and they can actually coax him into obedience.

Even the little Wang clan that Zhao Shuo had long intended to abandon still stayed in his wife's position and did not move. Zhao Mo also suspected that he would kill Xiao Wang sooner or later and marry another famous lady, but Xiao Wang is still safe and sound, but he is still not pregnant. It's the queen mother in the palace, I don't know if she thinks that she will damage her body because she saved herself, and she has always been kind to her, and she will reward something from the palace from time to time. Xiao Wang's family has such a backer, no wonder Zhao Shuo didn't dare to touch her.

Zhao Shuo is still the identity of the prince of Liao, when Zhao Mo was awarded the king of the county, he successively went to two excerpts, one on behalf of the son of thanks, and one for inviting back to Liaodong to celebrate his father's birthday. What is it? He didn't seem to know. Anyway, the emperor happily let him go back to Liaodong and told him to rectify military affairs.

He left his wife and concubines, returned to Liaodong, and stayed there for two years, without any results, but had a stiff relationship with several generals. With his father, stepmother and two brothers dragging him back, he returned to the capital almost without any achievements, and has been much more honest since then. He doesn't have any serious errands on him now, but when the emperor has something to do, let him take a hand, and barely be an idler. What status, what authority? Not at all!

His former scenery depended on the saints and the royal family. Now that the Wang family is gradually dispersed and the saints are no longer there, Zhao Shuo has just restored the treatment he should have. If a good hand is played like this, who can blame it?
