Chapter 174: The Incident
Qin Hanzhen returned to his room in a daze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info waited until she was waiting for the girls, took a bath, changed into homely clothes, wore her hair loose, and sat on the bamboo couch to enjoy the coolness, she suddenly woke up.
What Zhao Mo meant by what he said just now was...... The daughter-in-law of the children of the clan may not be able to marry, and a person with a reliable character like him is very good to marry him...... Does that mean?
Qin Hanzhen thought back to Grandmother Niu's words, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. The Niu family actually just wanted to satirize Qin Jinyi, and also lamented that her aunt and grandmother, Empress Qin, the royal daughter-in-law, had a difficult road, but she didn't mean to be a child of the map. It's just that when she said this, she ignored that Zhao Mo who was present was a child of the clan, or a close branch, which made Zhao Mo feel embarrassed, right? In front of the elders, Zhao Mo was embarrassed to defend herself, and in front of her peers, she was a cousin who had always been more kind, so she couldn't help but defend herself.
Qin Hanzhen sympathized with Zhao Mo, and Qingxing quickly brought her tea that helps her sleep, she took it and drank it, and quickly put this matter behind her.
Both Qin Bai and the Niu clan decided to inform the elders in the second and third rooms, so that they could discipline Qin Jinyi and correct some of her "inappropriate" behaviors, but Qin Han really didn't know when they would act. At least, when she came to the garden boat hall for class early the next morning, Qin Jinyi appeared as usual.
Mr. Zeng came early today, and Qin Jinyi was talking to her. Qin Hanzhen sat down in his place, paid attention to a few words, and found that Qin Jinyi was borrowing an ancient book about incense from Mr. Zeng, it seemed that there were many incense recipes recorded in that ancient book, some of which were quite rare. This book should be a rare book in Mr. Zeng's home, Qin Jinyi felt that Mr. Zeng didn't know much about incense anyway, and he didn't have much interest, so he could lend himself a copy of this book. She didn't want to covet the book, she just wanted to borrow it and copy it, it was just a trivial matter, and Mr. Zeng should have agreed.
But Mr. Zeng's expression was faint, obviously not very happy. Even if she is not proficient in incense, she has no reason to take out the books in her home at will. This is an ancient book, if you are not careful, it is very likely to be destroyed, and if you don't destroy it, you may also suffer damage. This is one of them. Second, she now lives alone in the small courtyard in the back street of Houfu and does not live with her family, because of some conflicting relationships with her family. In order to have a quiet life, she will move out of her mother's house with her servants. If there is really something important, she goes back to her parents' house for help, and presumably her relatives will not ignore her. But...... The reason for returning home was to lend the ancient books treasured at home to a little girl who was not illustrious in life, but was only related to the former queen? Even her brothers won't be on her side.
Mr. Zeng didn't answer for a long time, and Qin Jinyi was a little annoyed. She felt that Mr. Zeng actually looked down on her as a girl in the second room. Think about how Mr. Zeng treats Qin Jinhua in the long house on weekdays. Qin Jinhua is lazy and playful, and if she misses a day's class, she will personally go to Mingyuewu to make up for Qin Jinhua, and she also praises Qin Hanzhen in the third room on weekdays, and she doesn't need Qin Hanzhen to open her mouth, so she takes the initiative to lend the book to the latter. Now because she Qin Jinyi is in the second room, she just borrowed a book to copy it, and Mr. Zeng still wants to take Qiao?!
Qin Jinyi's face was slightly elongated, and the corners of her mouth showed a lofty smile: "This is just a trivial matter, why can't Mr. accept it?" I want to borrow this book to copy, also because yesterday a princess of Shu learned that I was interested in incense, so she asked me a lot of words, and praised me, telling me to be more attentive and learn more ideas." The books about incense collected in the house, I will collect them, but Mr. mentioned the ancient book collected in your home a few days ago, which is not very common outside, I mentioned it to Princess Shu, and she also said that it was very precious, and she wanted to borrow it in the past, but she couldn't borrow it. I thought that even the princess admired this book so much, and it would be good for me to borrow it and read it, so that I could gain some knowledge. You are a gentleman, don't you want the students to have a good time? Why do you put it off when I have the heart to learn? You make the students at a loss. ”
Mr. Zeng's face seemed to be much darker.
Qin Hanzhen was listening, vaguely touching something, and couldn't help but smile mockingly.
Princess Shu was the daughter of the famous Tu family before she got married, and after she got married, she was a princess and princess, and in her capacity, she wanted to borrow that ancient book from Mr. Zeng's house, but she couldn't borrow it, Qin Jinyi, how could she feel that she had more face than Princess Shu? I'm afraid that she wanted to borrow books to increase her knowledge, and she planned to copy a copy and send it to Princess Shu, so as to please the other party, right? This idea is very good, but Mr. Zeng is obviously not happy, she is pressing step by step, and she can't help but take herself too seriously.
Thinking of this, Qin Hanzhen took out a book from his schoolbag, got up and walked to Mr. Zeng: "Sir, there are a few things that I don't understand very well in the article you explained yesterday, can you tell me again?"
Mr. Zeng was also happy to get rid of Qin Jinyi's entanglement, and smiled at Qin Hanzhen: "Naturally, you can." Where do you not understand?"
Qin Hanzhen came to her side. Qin Jinyi saw her coming over to get in the way, and her face sank: "Third sister, I'm talking to my husband, don't you see it?, how can you be so rude and interrupt me and my husband?!"
Qin Hanzhen showed a surprised expression and looked at Mr. Zeng: "Sir, did I disturb you?"
Mr. Zeng smiled and shook his head: "No." I'm done talking to the big girl. ”
Qin Hanzhen looked at Qin Jinyi and raised his eyebrows: "Big sister heard it? I advise you not to always say that people are rude at every turn, is your attitude towards Mr. polite? You only know how to find fault with others, and you don't look down at yourself, the so-called double standard is talking about people like you!" After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and asked Mr. Zeng for advice.
Qin Jinyi's face turned red with anger, and she wanted to interrupt her, but Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun entered the door at this time. With so many people here, Qin Jinyi didn't want to be held with a rude handle, so she could only grit her teeth with hatred, barely hold back her breath, and stood aside with a black face, just waiting for Qin Hanzhen to finish speaking, and then she was going to continue to reprimand this cousin.
But for some reason, Qin Hanzhen wanted to ask a lot of questions today. I've never seen her have so much to ask. When Mr. Tsang asked the students questions, she always answered them fluently, but today she seems to have become stupid. When the time came for class, Qin Hanzhen "suddenly woke up" and apologized to Mr. Zeng embarrassedly: "I forgot the time, and I hindered Mr. in class, please don't blame Mr." ”
Mr. Zeng smiled: "Don't get in the way, you can go back to your seat." We're starting classes. ”
Qin Hanzhen returned to his seat, and then together with the other two cousins, he looked at Qin Jinyi who was standing beside him with surprised and inexplicable eyes, and even Mr. Zeng looked at the latter. Qin Jinyi's face turned red with anger, and she bit her lip and returned to her seat, and her original plan to continue to pester Mr. Zeng naturally fell through.
Qin Jinyi didn't find a chance to talk to Mr. Zeng alone, Mr. Zeng would not talk about matters outside the class in class, and after class, Qin Hanzhen pulled Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun to "ask questions" to Mr. Zeng -- in fact, where are there so many questions to ask? Qin Jinyi was naturally blind.
When the morning class was over, Qin Jinyi thought to herself that she must pester Mr. Zeng, even if she followed her to her house, she had to persuade her to nod and agree to lend the ancient book. Before she could pack up the things on the desk, Langying ran into the boat hall from outside, and whispered in her ear: "Mrs. Changfang called the girl over, the second wife, the eldest lord and the eldest grandmother, as well as the third master and the third wife in the third room, are all waiting in Songfeng Hall." ”
Qin Jinyi wondered in her heart: "What's wrong?"
Langying pursed her lips: "I can't tell." I was not in the house, and I didn't hear what Madame said, except that the second wife and Mrs. Nagafang seemed to have quarreled, and then quarreled with the third wife. ”
Qin Jinyi frowned, could it be ...... Why did my grandmother have trouble with the long room and the third room because of something? Why did she still call her over? Does it have anything to do with her?
She suddenly remembered the quarrel with Qin Hanzhen at the gate of Mingyuewu a few days ago, and subconsciously glanced at the latter. Qin Hanzhen packed up her books and stationery, noticed her gaze, looked over indifferently, and looked at her.
Qin Jinyi's eyes flashed, quickly avoided her gaze, and replied in a low voice: "I know." That's in the past. She beckoned the waiting studio to help pack up her belongings, and hurriedly left with the two girls. As for borrowing books, there is a long way to go, so there is no need to rush to complete it within today.
Qin Hanzhen watched her back disappear at the door of the ship hall and raised her eyebrows. Could it be ...... Is it because my grandfather and grandmother really sued, and the matter got into trouble? But it seems that no one called herself to confront her, will Qin Jinyi really give in? Even if she is soft, I'm afraid that the second uncle and grandmother in the second room, Xue, will not be so easy to succumb, right?
When Qin Jinyi arrived at Songfeng Hall, the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff. As soon as she entered the door, before she could salute the elders, she greeted the question of Mrs. Xu, the Marquis of Chengen, "Big girl, you said to your third sister a few days ago that you heard someone outside gossiping about her, and it was very ugly and insulting to the lintel of the Qin family, but really? Where did you listen to what someone said?"
Qin Jinyi was stunned, her eyes flashed, and she secretly screamed in her heart. She should have guessed that it was indeed the East Window incident.
However, even if she had a hunch, she still couldn't answer the question, so she could only squeak and say, "I don't remember...... I don't know who that man is. ”
Xu Shi didn't have the slightest expression of surprise on his face, but asked further: "Then do you remember, whose house did you hear the words? In the past month, you have visited the people who have gone out with your grandmother and mother, respectively, Li, Liu, and ****, who have you seen, presumably your grandmother and mother know it, and the male and female servants who accompanied you also know." Gossip, what kind of clothes is that person wearing, what kind of jewelry is he wearing, what position is he sitting in, as long as you name some of that person's characteristics, I can find out her identity, and I will never let such an uncultivated person ruin the reputation of my Qin family!"
Qin Jinyi swallowed her saliva and felt that her legs were a little weak.
