Chapter Ninety-Eight: Spout

The weirdness is yet to come.

After the fourth and fifth aunts of the Wang family went to the bush with the princess, it didn't take long for two young women dressed in rich clothes to come. The older one before the fight was also quite tall, with thin cheeks, pointed chin, and raised high, looking at it, there was a different arrogance spreading, but looking at her dress, she was not a noble woman, just a description of an ordinary clan lady. The younger one in the back is also dressed as a lady of the clan, but looking at the grade of the dress, it is the level of a princess, half a head shorter than the one in front, and she is also thin, with a sickly face on her face, and her temperament is gloomy, which is not very pleasing to look at.

These two Qin Hanzhen recognized it a little and recognized it, one is the auxiliary general, the wife of Zhao Jie, the former prince of the Jin Dynasty, and the other is more familiar, but it is the stepfamily of Zhao Shuo, the son of the Liao king, and Zhao Mo's stupid and vicious stepmother, who is in the Wang family.

Today's palace banquet, the aunts and grandmothers of the Wang family are going to hold a party in the garden of Cining Palace?

Qin Hanzhen, Qin Jinhua, and Qin Jinchun, the three sisters, hid behind the rockery, and watched from a distance of more than ten zhang, watching Aunt Wang and Xiao Wang enter the back of the bushes. As soon as there are many people there, the effect of secrecy is discounted, with Qin Hanzhen's eyesight, it can already be seen that there is a stone table behind it, with four stone benches, and the princess is sitting in the north shelter seat, and among the rest of the people, the fourth aunt and grandmother and the third aunt and grandmother and the highest status of the little Wang family have all got a position, and the fifth aunt and grandmother of the Wang family are both concubines, and their status after marriage is under several sisters, so they can only stand obediently on the side and listen to the orders.

As for what the order was, because it was too far away and there were palace people standing around, Qin Han was really embarrassed to do something to eavesdrop, and he didn't even dare to get closer, so he didn't hear anything.

But just because you can't hear anything doesn't mean you can't see anything. The bush is only so big, and there are so many people that they can't cover it, Qin Hanzhen and the others are not very far away, and they can still clearly see what the aunts and nephews of the Wang family are doing.

Wang Concubine didn't know what to say to her nieces, it was probably not a pleasant topic, Wang Sangu and Grandma first showed a displeased look, Wang Si Aunt's brows were furrowed, Xiao Wang also sneered gloomily, and Wang Wugu, who was standing beside her, was not angry, but just had a panicked face.

The princess ignored the expressions of her nieces and nephews, and still said something to herself. The expression on her face was obscured by the branches, and Qin Hanzhen couldn't see it clearly, but judging from the reactions of the people around her, her words seemed to have greatly angered several nieces. Aunt Wang stood up angrily: "My aunt is now enjoying glory in the palace, and she still wants to say these cool words, is she ignoring the life and death of her nieces?!"

It's a bit loud.

There are not only palace people standing nearby, but also passers-by who are either admiring the flowers, chatting with relatives and friends, or talking to the palace concubines and concubines, everyone is quiet, not interfering with each other, and they don't have to worry about being heard by others. But Aunt Wang's movements are so loud, and others are not deaf, so they will naturally react. Soon someone was poking their heads over to see what was going on. As for those palace people, although they frowned and looked displeased, they didn't move-although Aunt Wang was suspected of disrespecting the elders, but there were no palace people waiting around the princess, and it was not their turn to protect the dignity of the princess, and it was not their turn to come out from the Cining Palace. Besides, Aunt Wang's grandmother is also a clan wife, and the chaos is big, so that the foreign women can see it, and they also lose the face of the clan. This matter was taken care of by the princess, and the palace people quietly reported to the palace people in charge of Cining Palace, and it was considered to be a report, and it was over. If the conflict between the daughters of the Wang family increases and they collide with the princess, then report to the queen mother when the time comes.

Wang Concubine has been in the palace for a long time, and she is also a well-behaved character, so naturally she immediately suppressed Wang Sangu's grandmother, and fortunately, she fell for a while. Aunt Wang's grandmother was angry and unconvinced, but in the end, she still knew the severity and didn't make any more trouble. But the atmosphere of the daughters of the Wang family is still stiff.

Qin Hanzhen quietly pulled Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun's sleeves, and motioned for the two to turn around and leave with her.

When they were far away, Qin Jinhua said to Qin Hanzhen: "I see that this posture is not right, are the married daughters of the Wang family having infighting?

Qin Hanzhen thought about it, and his expression was a little meaningful: "It is also possible that the princess asked the nieces not to do anything, and the nieces were not happy." "What did Grandma Wang say about that? I felt that the concubine was living comfortably in the palace, so she didn't care about the life or death of her nieces? It's really interesting, the married daughters of the Wang family have indeed been in a bad situation in recent years, and one has died, but the third aunt Wang herself is still indifferent to the sister-in-law's sister, and she doesn't see her knocking on the door of her sister-in-law's house to seek justice for the deceased, but now she is angry at the concubine. How does she want the princess to care about the life and death of her nieces? The princess has no children and no favor, and she is just a concubine, and she has nothing to rely on in the palace except the pity of the queen mother and the emperor. In the past few years, she herself has been sick and sick, and she has been acting in a low-key manner, what can she do? Isn't the situation of the daughter of the Wang family a consequence caused by the failure of the Wang family's ambitious plan? It must be improved, unless the Wang family can make a comeback. But adding a few more children who have won the Jinshi will not become the climate.

Qin Hanzhen secretly speculated in his heart about the meaning of Aunt Wang's words, and Qin Jinhua was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Qin Hanzhen didn't answer, but said: "This is a contradiction between the daughters of their Wang family, we outsiders can't intervene, and there is no reason to inquire." The second sister's grandmother and second aunt are here today, right? Why don't you ask Mrs. Yao to take a trip? Anyway, the movements of the princess and her niece are not small, and it is reasonable for someone to come and inquire after getting the news. Mrs. Yao is also the daughter of the Wang family, so she naturally cares about the reputation of the daughter of the Wang family. ”

Yao Wang is the only daughter of the second master of the king, when the second master of the king asked for grace for the elder brother's family before his death, on behalf of the elder brother and nephew, only hoping to keep the elder brother's family safe, and the hope of future generations is endless. He worked hard, and his closest family members knew it. But Master Wang's branch has only been honest for a few years, and then he started to jump again, Yao Wang's family watched them live up to their deceased father's hard work, can they be happy?

Qin Jinhua heard complaints from his mother and grandmother on weekdays, and now he understood Qin Hanzhen's intentions, so he nodded hurriedly and ran to find the two elders. Qin Jinchun stayed with Qin Hanzhen as a companion, and Qin Hanzhen also advised her: "This kind of thing, although I didn't inquire about the inside story, you can also tell the crown princess and ask the people in the East Palace to beware." If the East Palace wants to inquire why the princess has a quarrel with the daughters of the Wang family, she naturally has their own methods, which is much more convenient than our little girls. ”

Qin Jinchun comprehended, pursed his lips and smiled and squeezed Qin Hanzhen's hand: "Thank you Third Sister for reminding me." Then he turned around and went to find the lord of Minshun. Lord Minshun usually stays with the crown princess, and rarely comes out to play, especially in such a cold weather, she can't blow the wind in her body, so she must stay indoors as much as possible.

Qin Hanzhen stayed where he was, looking up at the flower branches on a plum tree next to him. The weather is still very cold, and this old plum tree has not grown a few flowers, but it has asked people to tie the red and pink silk into the shape of plum blossoms, and tie it to the old plum tree with black thin cotton thread, far away, and think that this plum tree is really full of tweeds, and there is no clear air left, only lively and joyful. Qin Hanzhen felt discordant just now, but now that he looked closely, he saw the clues, and couldn't help but smile.

In places like the Imperial Palace, they are still accustomed to whitewashing the peace.

It didn't take long for the Yao family to hurry to the Yao Wang family, and Qin Jinhua also followed. Qin Hanzhen hurriedly greeted him and gave a salute to the Yao Wang clan.

Yao Wang's age is actually about the same as Wang Concubine, Wang Concubine is the younger sister of Lord Wang and Second Master Wang, but she is almost the same age as her niece. My aunt and niece grew up as a companion from a young age, and they were also very good. It wasn't until the concubine entered the palace that the eldest lord intended to let the concubine give birth to the heir and seek the throne, but the second lord strongly opposed it, and the aunt and nephew gradually became estranged, and now they almost don't get along.

But Yao Wang's face was worried at this time, obviously not indifferent to Wang Concubine. She was extremely disappointed in the sisters in the royal family's room, but she also had a friendship with her for many years, so she naturally didn't want to watch them go all the way to the dark. The daughter of the Wang family who unfortunately died of illness after the Wang family was down, the aftermath was that the Yao Wang couple came forward to persuade her husband's family, so that they could successfully follow the etiquette and finish it decently. Compared with the married daughters in the royal family's room, Yao Wang's cousin in the next room is undoubtedly more kind.

She helped her daughter to arrive, first thanked Qin Hanzhen, a junior, for reminding Qin Jinhua to pass the message, and then asked Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jinhua to go back to the table, don't stay outside, and walked to the bush with a straight face. She has the qualifications and confidence to take care of this matter, no matter what topic the married daughters of the Wang family want to discuss.

She is the only daughter of the second master of the king, if there is no grace that the second master of the king asked for before his death, I don't know what the situation of the royal family is now, and the aunts and grandmothers of the Wang family don't want to live a good life. Therefore, when Yao Wang's family came forward, everyone had to be polite. Master Wang can be angry with his second son, but he won't give his nieces a look, let alone his daughters. Yao Wang's family took the name of the eldest sister and trained several cousins to the point of blood, and no one could find fault with her.

Yao helped his mother go, but Qin Hanzhen stayed where he was, looking at Qin Jinhua face to face. The two elders actually received a message from them and sent them away, is this called not wanting a monk after fasting?

The two sisters stood there for a while, and Qin Hanzhen smiled first: "It's okay, let's go back to the table, it's too conspicuous here, it seems that the two of us seem to be very gossipy, and it's not good for reputation." ”

Qin Jinhua said depressedly: "This is too appetizing, why don't we let us know what's going on?" The fourth sister is not here, you and I are both tight-mouthed people, what do grandmothers and mothers have to hide from us?"

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand and said in a low voice: "What are you afraid of? The second aunt is on the spot, are you afraid that we will have nowhere to inquire?"

Qin Jinhua's eyes lit up, but he hesitated a little: "Mother is afraid that she won't tell me." "She is also older now, how can she not notice that her parents and brothers are actually hiding a lot of things from her, just let her be a carefree boudoir daughter?

Qin Hanzhen said: "She will hide it from you, but she won't hide it from Brother Lobby." Brother Lobby knows, don't we know too?"

Qin Jinhua blinked, looked at Qin Hanzhen for a moment, and laughed in unison.
