Chapter 178: The limelight
After Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jinhua figured out what was going on, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there must be something omission in this, for example, Yao did not arrange for the girl to stop at the intersection in advance, and when the girls came back, they would bump into foreign men, or when they temporarily invited these teenagers to the women's table, they did not say hello to the girls and remind them to avoid them a little, but in the case of so many people, the elders of the girls are not far away, and they are all people who have dealings with each other, not living people, so it is not a big deal to bump into each other. Among the little girls present, if they were from a scholarly family, they might feel unaccustomed, but the daughters of the generals should be calm. They are not weak girls raised in the deep boudoir, who would make a fuss just because they see a foreign man?
Even Yu Xinlan, a girl from a famous scholarly family for generations, was only a little surprised, then calmed down, and after meeting her brothers, she went with them to watch Qin Jian's calligraphy. The Xu family sisters, who were originally a little restrained, also relaxed after seeing their brothers, looked at their brother Xu Zheng's poems for a while, praised two sentences, and took Xu Rong to meet their mother and aunt. Even Lu Yueniang, a high-ranking official abroad, could greet her brothers very calmly, and then return to her mother.
It seemed that Pei Yin was the only one who was frightened.
Qin Jinhua specially apologized to her. Although it is not a big deal, after all, it is because of the fact that his family did not arrange it well, so there was a mistake, which frightened Pei Yin, and he should apologize.
Pei Yin listened absentmindedly, and was really annoyed in her heart. In fact, seeing the reactions of the other girls around her, she also woke up to the fact that her words and deeds were a bit exaggerated. If it was usual, she would definitely confuse this section, but today is different, today Yunyang Hou's eldest son Cai Shizi is also present, and she seems to have seen her frightened appearance. What would he think of her? Will he think that she is not stable enough? Everyone is dignified and steady, elegant and generous, but she just behaves like a village girl who has never seen the world, and when she meets a man, she is so shocked that she even forgets her manners. No wonder Cai Shizi didn't even glance at himself out of the corner of his eye, he must have disliked her!
But how can she blame her? She just told Tang Su to block a word and couldn't get off the stage, she wanted to hurry back to the banquet to meet her mother, stay away from the other ladies, and no longer let Tang Su have a chance to talk nonsense, just fine, who knew that as soon as she turned to the corridor, she met a strange man, so how could she not be frightened? Although I later saw that my brother was also there, and I figured out the truth again, and my heart was a little more settled, but the grievances in my heart were also greater. Everyone pretended to be calm, she was the only one who had a scandal, and she called Cai Shizi to look at it, what is this called? !
It's all the Qin family's fault!
Pei Yin was not dissatisfied with the Qin family, after all, Qin Jinhua, who had the most contacts, was a talented and mediocre and soft-talking best friend. But now that Qin Hanzhen has overwhelmed her in calligraphy and painting, and there is this mistake at the Spring Banquet, she is annoyed in her heart. Relying on the fact that she and Qin Jinhua were a little far away from the crowd, and the voice of her voice could not reach the wives and grandmothers, she reprimanded unceremoniously: "What is going on in your Chengenhou Mansion? How is this arranged? There is a difference between men and women, inside and outside, this is the most basic rule of a person who knows etiquette, right? You didn't say a word in advance, you called the foreign man into the inner courtyard, and brought us girls over, what do you look like? Even if your family is a relative and your ancestors are military generals, you don't pay much attention to rules and etiquette, and you shouldn't treat guests so lightly. You don't care, but we are from a big family, and we still have face!"
Qin Jinhua was a little stunned. She was also pampered by her family since she was a child, when did she receive this kind of treatment? Besides, she really didn't think it was a big deal in today's oolong, the elders all looked at it, and there were so many people, wasn't it just at a large banquet, where young men and girls met each other? There were many people who were siblings or cousins, in-laws, distant relatives, or had met several times since childhood, and there were not many strangers. Pei Yin rarely attended such occasions in the past, and her grandfather was still a patient, so it was inevitable that there would be restrictions on family members going out for banquets. But no matter how few times it is, it doesn't mean that there isn't. Pei Yin didn't make such a fuss before. What's more, the others didn't say anything, did they?
Pei Yin was angry, and she didn't feel that what she said was too much, but there were always people who couldn't hear it. Qin Hanzhen stood not far from them, and saw that Qin Jinhua's eyes were red, so he rushed over to relieve his cousin. She actually felt that Pei Yin was too much, not to mention trivial matters, and she didn't have everyone's beautiful bearing.
Maybe it's because he is not less angry with the other party on weekdays, and Qin Hanzhen's words are also a little unkind: "Sister Pei, although our Qin family has also passed on several generations of titles, it is really not as good as the mansion is the family of the country, and the most important rules and etiquette, and I don't dare to treat these famous disciples as disciples, so that they feel that they have lost face at a glance." You have the most important rules, and you don't want to see foreign men, why don't I have someone prepare a private room, and you can sit in and rest alone? Wait until these foreign men are gone, and then ask you to come out. After all, our Qin family doesn't have such a big face, so we don't dare to sweep the faces of so many wives and grandmothers for the sake of your own rules, and drive out other people's children and nephews. But you value the difference between men and women the most, I can't let you be wronged, right?"
Pei Yin's face suddenly turned red, she glared at Qin Hanzhen, and couldn't believe that the other party didn't give her any face at all: "What do you mean by this?!"
Qin Han said with a smile: "What's wrong with my words?Isn't this exactly what you asked?" She also deliberately looked in the direction of Cai Shizi, "If Sister Pei thinks that my hands and feet are too slow, it just so happens that Cai Shizi is there, he should be the eldest among these famous disciples, right?" Why don't I go and tell him, Sister Pei can't stand staying in the same garden with a foreign man, please take the others to exit first, and when Sister Pei eats and drinks well, they will come in again?"
Pei Yin only felt as if a hammer had hit her head hard, and the whole person was stunned, and her face was full of horror: "You...... You ...... "How do you know......
Qin Hanzhen sneered. Pei Yin's thoughts were clear on the road just now, who else could he hide? Cai Yuanzhen and everyone just pretended not to know, and only Tang Su and Zhang Shu, who usually had no heart, could say it.
Pei Yin wilted instantly. She stared at Qin Han for a long time, then didn't say a word, turned around and walked away, never complaining about the Qin family again.
Qin Jinhua looked at Qin Hanzhen and said, "Fang Cai really scared me. Sister Pei has never said anything like this to me on weekdays, and I can't believe that those words came out of her mouth!"
Qin Hanzhen snorted coldly: "Second sister is Su Ri's temper is too good, people think that you are a soft puffer, you can pinch it whatever she wants." The others didn't say anything, and she didn't give up on her alone. Didn't it just scare her? If she had followed the army honestly, she wouldn't have come out with this kind of oolong. "If she bumped into Qin Jian with everyone, Pei Yin would not have been so out of shape, because the other ladies who walked in front of her would behave steadily enough.
Qin Jinhua was still a little uneasy: "Actually, it's because our family is not well-arranged...... Mother is also yes, I invited my brother and them to come to Xiangxue Hall, so I can tell us too!"
Qin Hanzhen snorted: "How did the second aunt know where we were? ”
Qin Jinhua remembered what he had seen and heard outside the bamboo forest just now, and couldn't help but cough lowly. After a pause, she couldn't hold back: "Third sister, why did you talk about Cai Shizi?"
Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and glanced at her with a smile: "Of course, it's because Cai Shizi is the best and most effective." Look at me, as soon as I sacrifice Cai Shizi, won't Miss Pei shut up immediately?"
Qin Jinhua glanced at her with disgust, and couldn't help but snicker. Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Hanzhen caught a glimpse of Zhao Mo walking towards him, so he gently pushed Qin Jinhua: "Go and take a look at the words of the eldest brother." I think he's writing exceptionally well today. ”
Qin Jinhua suddenly perked up and hurriedly went to his brother's side.
Around Qin Jian, there were already a lot of people around. Yu Xinlan's brother and sister watched there for a long time. Yu Xinlan originally took a look at the paintings drawn by Zhao Mo. However, Zhao Mo's paintings were not as good as Qin Hanzhen's, she took a few glances and turned back to Qin Jian's side. Qin Jian's handwriting is good, and the calligraphy font written today happens to be what Yu Xinlan is practicing right now. She felt that her wrist strength was insufficient and her writing was not very good, and Qin Jian wrote much better than her, so she couldn't help but pay more attention. When her brother praised Qin Jian, she also echoed a few words. Because of the praise of their brothers and sisters, more and more people gathered around Qin Jian. It is also difficult to believe that Qin Jian was not affected by the outside world, and still ran the pen in his hand steadily, and the whole book was completed in one go.
Zhao Mo walked to Qin Hanzhen's side and greeted him politely, as if he was a polite cousin. Qin Han was really funny in his heart, but he also accompanied him to do enough tricks, returned the salute in a proper manner, and greeted him.
However, Zhao Mo only did half of the play, and when he finished the ceremony, he said bluntly: "What did you just say about Cai Shizi?"
Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "Cousin Zhao heard it, it's nothing, I just used his name to bully people." ”
Although Zhao Mo didn't know what was going on, he also saw that Pei Yin was there, so he smiled and said, "If you can make your cousin have the heart of a bully, that person must deserve it." As long as he doesn't have a good impression of Cai Shizi, the king of Suning said that he is a person who protects his shortcomings.
Qin Hanzhen glanced at him with disgust, and looked thoughtfully in Qin Jian's direction: "Brother Lobby seems to be in the limelight today." The second aunt must be very happy, right?"
Zhao Mo said: "It's time for him to say goodbye." If he is in the limelight this time, it is naturally a good thing to make the wives and grandmothers in those high-ranking families take a fancy to him as a son-in-law. "Qin Jian is the eldest brother, he doesn't say kiss, how can his sister's family affairs be settled?
Qin Hanzhen actually knew Yao's thoughts, and smiled: "It doesn't matter if it's a big family or not, I hope it's a good girl with a kind temperament and good conduct, and she can get along with Brother Lobby." "Don't look at people like Pei Yin for the sake of the family.
Qin Han really thought so in his heart.
How did she know that Pei Yin, who was at this moment, looked at her mother in disbelief: "What did you say?!"
Grandma Pei frowned and looked at her daughter: "I'll let you stop a little! I told you to get along well with the girl of the Qin family, why did you still scold people? This matter today is nothing, and none of the other girls is as rude as you." Originally, let's laugh a few words, this matter will be over, but you have to be unforgiving! What do the ladies and grandmothers of the Qin family think of you? I was still counting on marrying you into the Cheng'en Hou Mansion, but now you are ruined!"
