A lunch meal was a delight for both guests and hosts.

In fact...... It's also hard to say anything about the guest and host. Zhao Mo has been in the Qin family's three-room house for two years, and he is as familiar as a family. He is not polite to the Qin family, and Qin Bai and the Niu family will naturally not be polite to him. Only Qin Hanzhen can see it clearly from the side, Zhao Mo is eating at her house today, it seems to be more ...... than before I got closer to three points, and I was much more attentive than before.

For example, he will give Qin Bai and Niu's vegetables more than once. In the past, he would have persuaded two glasses of wine at most. With his identity, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and even when his father rarely took vegetables, he paid attention to the rules of the palace, let alone in front of outsiders? But he was so affectionate and naturally put the dishes in the bowls of Qin Bai and Niu, and told the second elder how the dishes were good for their health, which was suitable for them to eat in this season, which made Qin Bai and Niu's smile. Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but look sideways, thinking that Zhao Mo had nothing to do to be courteous, and he didn't know what bad idea he was playing.

Then, Zhao Mo revealed his true purpose - after three or four times of coercion for Qin Bai and Niu's dishes, he also coerced Qin Hanzhen with chopsticks, which was still her favorite dish. He not only coerced, but also said with a smile: "Don't always look at me, seeing that I was picking up vegetables for my uncles and grandparents, and I was praised by my uncles and grandparents, don't worry, my cousin will not favor one over the other." Come, you have a part to play. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at him dumbfounded, shocked by his cheekiness.

The Niu clan really made Zhao Mo confused, and said happily: "Sister Sang is still a child's temper, this little thing should also be tasted." Qin Bai also looked at it with a smile and didn't say anything.

Qin Hanzhen was speechless, he could only thank Zhao Mo expressionlessly, and then buried his head in anger and began to eat.

Zhao Mo was originally happy that he had succeeded in coercing his sweetheart with food and making her eat it, but looking at Qin Hanzhen's movements, he felt that something was wrong. Could it be that he used the wrong method to make her unhappy? He thought back to the method that Qin Hanzhen had mentioned to please his sweetheart, so he tentatively said to Qin Hanzhen: "Cousin, where are you going to play this New Year? Do you want to go to the temple fair? If you want to go, I'll take you?" glanced at Qin Bai and Niu, and added, "Call Brother Jian and your sisters again, let's go play together for half a day, how about it?"

Qin Hanzhen pouted and said, "As long as it's in the capital, when won't I go to the temple fair for the New Year?" I'm afraid that I am more familiar than Cousin Zhao." I don't know if you will take me or if I will take you away. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "That's just right, I just want to see how lively the temple fair in the capital is." It would be great to have a cousin as a guide. ”

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him: "Let's take a look, I don't know when I will be free." There is a palace banquet on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and then there is a Lantern Festival, after the Lantern Festival, my grandfather plans to take my grandmother and me to the hot spring village, don't you go? If your father wants to ask you to go to various houses to pay New Year's greetings, you must rush before the Lantern Festival, right? That is, these days, according to the custom, it is inconvenient for outsiders to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, so that you can enjoy a leisure. After the fifth day of the new year, do you think you can still have such a good life?"

Zhao Mo smiled and didn't care: "That's fine." We juniors pay New Year's greetings, and we don't have to be in the same place as our elders. When I go to various houses and mansions, I also hang out with their sons, and I am afraid that I will not find time to visit the temple fair? Who is impatient to socialize at home? My cousins know the convenience of others and themselves. ”

Qin Han smiled innocently: "Then Cousin Zhao will go shopping with your brothers, and you don't have to wait for a few of our brothers and sisters." There's a lot going on at home, who knows when you'll be free?"

She was fighting a lawsuit with Zhao Mo here, but she didn't watch out for her grandmother Niu dismantling her platform: "What day is not free? Isn't this free every day? Except for a few relatives and friends, our family does not entertain outsiders." As for the long house, with your uncles and aunts supporting it, you don't need your brothers and sisters to come forward. If you go and tell your uncle and grandmother that you want Brother Jian and Sister Hua to accompany you to the temple fair, I'm afraid they will still be happy to go out and play. Just go out and go out, and remember to bring a few more people. There are a lot of people at the temple fair, and it's not fun to squeeze and bump into it. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at his grandmother in a daze, and then glanced at Zhao Mo, secretly depressed in his heart.

Zhao Mo lowered his head and held back a smile. He knew he couldn't really laugh out loud at this time. really smiled, if Qin Hanzhen was annoyed, it would be even more difficult to coax.

He pretended to be fine, and said to Niu: "Aren't you going to go shopping, uncle, and grandmother? I heard that there is a newly opened pastry shop in Longfu Temple, which is an authentic Tianjin flavor, selling a kind of jujube mud cake, which is very soft and sweet. Isn't my uncle and grandmother from Tianjin? Do you want to try it? It just so happens that there is a temple fair in Longfu Temple in the early nine days. It's not far from home, so can I go shopping with you?"

Without waiting for Niu's answer, he turned to persuade Qin Bai: "At this Longfu temple fair, I heard that there are also a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings for sale, and when it comes to the number of cities, it is still the highest among the cities in Beijing, and my uncle and grandfather can't miss it." ”

At the end, I persuaded Qin Hanzhen: "Cousin can also go to a few pastry shops to see if there are any fresh Lantern Festivals, and it is good to buy some and come back to try them." ”

Qin Hanzhen stared at him, and his expression was clearly to say, "Don't coax people, when I can't see what medicine you sell in the gourd?"

Zhao Mo grinned, and only went to see Qin Bai and Niu.

Qin Bai is indispensable. When he is idle on weekdays, when can't he go to the temple fair, where can't he buy antique calligraphy and paintings? He only looked at his wife: "How is it? Do you want to go shopping?"

Niu smiled and waved his hand: "I'll forget it, a handful of old bones, I can't afford to toss, I don't have to be tired." If you want to eat any snacks, just send someone to buy them. However, her old man would not pour cold water on the juniors, she said to Zhao Mo very lovingly, "If you juniors want to go, just go, just remember to bring some souvenirs back to our old couple." ”

Zhao Mo waited for her words, and immediately agreed to come down and promise to complete the task, and then turned his head to look at Qin Hanzhen: "Cousin, do you think the ninth day of the first month is appropriate? How about I come to pick you up at that time? At that time, the sun had already risen, it would not be too cold, and the snow on the road was clear, so it was just time to walk." After a walk around the temple fair, we just went to the teahouse for lunch, which was cleaner than elsewhere. ”

Qin Hanzhen could only reluctantly say, "I've asked the elder brother and the second sister first, it would be best if I could call the fourth sister as well." I don't know what the fifth sister and the Lu family said. There are a lot of people, and it will be troublesome to make up time. ”

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "There are also a lot of boys in the Qin family's room, so it doesn't have to be a hurry to go shopping with us this time, it's a big deal to divide it into two groups." Let's call Brother Jian and your second sister, and that's about it. "Would he be so stupid to call the Lu family brothers?

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him speechlessly, and looked at the bowl in his hand: "Hurry up and eat, let's talk about it when you finish eating, otherwise the food will be cold!"

In fact, it can be regarded as acquiescing.

If you think about it, it's still quite interesting to go to the temple fair. There was no fun entertainment these days. She usually paints the landscape and street scenes of Jiangnan and Lingnan, and occasionally she should paint the market style of Beijing.

After eating, everyone moved to the outer hall to drink tea and continue to chat. Zhao Mo asked about Qin Hanzhen's homework in calligraphy and painting, and asked her what masterpieces and masterpieces she had in the past two years. Qin Han really wanted to talk to him in the letter about any slightly larger works she painted, but now why did he pretend to be ignorant?

She casually mentioned a few paintings and told him that most of them were now in the possession of the Crown Princess of the East Palace. The crown princess has been in the deep palace for a long time, and she is very envious of the scenery of the outside world, so she uses her paintings to relieve her boredom. And because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been to the south of the Yangtze River, has seen thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and has observed the livelihood of the people, the Crown Princess Niangniang can also take the painting to consult His Royal Highness the Prince, and take the opportunity to deepen the relationship between husband and wife. This painting has not been worked on for a few months, and I am afraid that it will not be able to return to Qin Hanzhen's hands. She took a preventive shot with Zhao Mo, and saved him from asking to see the painting.

Who knew that Zhao Mo still made this request: "So, the places my cousin has been to in the past few years, and I have painted a lot of paintings? I have never been to Lingnan, but I know one more Liaodong than my cousin. Can I also go and see your paintings, so that I can see them for a long time?"

"Go and see the painting". These three words are really meaningful.

Qin Hanzhen glanced at Zhao Mo and understood in his heart that he was planning to take a walk around her yard.

Qin Bai looked at his granddaughter: "Go and get two paintings to show your cousin, and pick the ones that are good." ”

Qin Hanzhen secretly applauded his grandfather, and was about to agree with a smile, but Niu asked with a puzzled expression: "Isn't it troublesome to run around?" She also specially said to Zhao Mo, "Sister Sang'er is painting better and better now, and her grandfather praised her before." The character is vivid, and he also learned to draw cordyceps. It's hard for her little person to draw grass insects so finely on such a small piece of paper, not much bigger than a grain of rice, and even the whiskers on the insects can be seen clearly. ”

Zhao Mo looked at Qin Hanzhen with a smile: "Cousin is so powerful, then I have to take a good look!"

Qin Han really scolded him angrily, and saw Niu Shi standing up, and she hurriedly got up to support her grandmother.

Niu Shi said happily: "Let's go! Let's go to Sister Sang's house to see the paintings she painted, and take a walk by the way to eliminate food." ”

It turned out that she meant that the big guys would go together, not to let Zhao Mo follow Qin Hanzhen back to the courtyard alone.

Qin Hanzhen bit his lower lip, held back a smile, and glanced at Zhao Mo proudly.

Zhao Mo was stunned for a moment at first, but soon laughed again, he turned around to support Qin Bai, as if he had the same idea as the Niu family, and was attentive and careful: "Uncle and grandpa go slowly." ”

The four of them took a long list of girls and mothers-in-law, and they headed towards Qin Hanzhen's boudoir like this.
