Qin Hanzhen said it freely, Qin Jinhua was still a little worried, and when he heard this, he also felt that it didn't seem to be a big deal.

Qin Jinyi had a scandal in the marriage of the youngest son of the King of Shu. When her reputation was damaged that time, the second room had not moved out of the Chengenhou Mansion, and the Qin family was somewhat implicated. The Xu, Yao, and Min families had to be vigilant when they went out to socialize, and they had to defend the long room as inconspicuously as possible. As it turned out, it was just a momentary criticism, and it was quickly overwhelmed by other gossip rumors. Now when others talk about it, they will only talk about the girls in the second room of the Qin family, but no one will even underestimate the girls in the Qin family's room and the third room. Because the door is placed there, if the girls of the Cheng'en Hou Mansion and the Yongjia Hou Mansion are married to the young son of the King of Shu, no one will say that the door is not the right one, and only the second room of the Qin family, which only has a six-rank official position, misunderstands that the Shu Mansion wants to marry him, which will make people laugh.

That joke was known to the whole of Beijing, and even the clan was alarmed, but the impact on the Qin family's room and the third room was so slight. This time it's just Qin Jinyi pouring water on her sister, she ruined her reputation, what can she implicate the rest of the Qin family? At most, her grandmother and parents will be criticized for not being strict with her goddaughter, but the Xue family and Qin Bofu completely deserve it, and the little Xue family may be wronged, but she is also used to being wronged, and it is not bad for this stubble. Anyway, she is going to recuperate now, and when her illness is cured, the limelight will have long passed. Besides, the victim in the story is also her daughter, one who has been praised by the crown princess for her excellence, and the other who is notorious. Xiao Xue's mother should not be criticized by one-sidedness.

Qin Jinhua settled down, and then gossiped with his brother Qin Jian with everyone. Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, the Niu family wanted to keep the meal, but Qin Jinhua thought that his mother was still waiting for her to go back at home, and he had to quickly tell Qin Jinchun about the news he had just received from Mr. Zeng, so he politely refused. Qin Hanzhen simply asked the kitchen staff to pack a few freshly made dishes, take the food box, and let Qin Jian and Qin Jinhua take them back to eat.

After lunch, Qin Hanzhen and Mr. Zeng walked slowly and walked to their own yard. Mr. Zeng saw that there was no one around, so he told the princess that she wanted to see the painting, and said, "The third girl doesn't have to worry, this is a good thing." You have selected the best works you have painted in the past two years and sent them to me. I'll take it into the palace to show my mother, and when I'm done, I'll pay you back. If the mother falls in love with any of them, she will keep them in the palace for collection, which is also the girl's creation. ”

Qin Hanzhen is actually not very happy to give away her paintings, especially those large-scale works, except for her grandfather and Zhao Mo, she has never given them to anyone. However, if she can really win the favor of the crown princess, it will also be good for her. After thinking about it, she decided to put away the few paintings she liked so much, and just use the other paintings to deal with. Anyway, she has practiced painting a lot in the past few years, and she has made great progress, and her painting can be regarded as okay, and it is not a problem to take a few paintings to show off.

Qin Hanzhen selected a few paintings of Jiangnan smoke and rain, Lingnan street scenes, and a sea scenery, and one or two landscape sketches, and handed them to Mr. Zeng. Mr. Zeng took a closer look, chose another painting of Mount Tai, changed the street scene of Lingnan, and left with the painting.

Qin Hanzhen knew that Mr. Zeng probably didn't look down on the street scene with a strong local flavor in Lingnan, and he felt a little aggrieved in his heart. Although the painting is a little more down-to-earth, when she paints, she observes the characters very carefully, and thinks that the characters on the painting are very expressive, and the houses, shops, carriages, horses, and goods on the street are all painted very finely, especially the country vendors who sell fish and shrimp, and they are very good with their brushes, and even their grandfather Qin Bai has praised them. She also used a little bit of Western painting skills, and the use of colors was also quite ingenious. She has studied painting for all these years, and privately thinks that this painting can be called one of her best works in the past two years, who knows that it is actually disliked......

Qin Han really had a little bit of an untimely feeling in his heart. If it were in modern times, she could have taken this painting to participate in official competitions, right? I knew that she was so talented, she should have studied painting for a few more years, and now she doesn't have to think about painting skills so hard......

Gossip and don't mention it, after that, news came from Qin Jinhua's side, saying that Qin Jinyi's leg might really be injured. Xue was worried about the eldest granddaughter's injury, so he invited a doctor who was good at orthopedics to treat her, but Qin Jinyi's family was more reserved, insisting on refusing to show her jade legs, so that the doctor could look at her wounds.

The taste of the plaster was naturally not much better, Qin Jinyi was very disgusted, but she was afraid that there would be a real injury on her leg, so she could only endure it. But her temper also became worse and worse, and she scolded the girls in the house all day long. The Xue family was a little dissatisfied in their hearts, and Qin Bofu scolded this daughter a lot.

Qin Jinyi poured cold water on her sister who was about to enter the palace to run for the election, and the news seemed to have spread in some circles. Although Qin Bofu was down, when he had not separated from his family in the past, he also knew a few unambitious children in the prince's mansion, and some people didn't know whether it was really out of good intentions or deliberately ridiculed, and asked him if it was really true. Qin Bofu only felt that the eldest daughter had lost her face, and he was angry and frightened in his heart, for fear that as soon as this matter spread, the East Palace would know about it, and then it would reach the emperor's ears, and I was afraid that the emperor would not want to see him even more. And those who heard the rumors were even less likely to take a fancy to his daughter as a daughter-in-law.

Qin Bofu didn't have the confidence to get angry at irrelevant outsiders, so he could only go home to find his mother's bad luck: "I said a long time ago that my mother can't condone Jinyi anymore, but you just don't listen." Do you know what people outside say about Jinyi? Now that her reputation has been discredited, she still expects to marry some good family? You were disgusted back then, and now you want to find such a good relative, you can't do it again!"

Xue's face turned pale, she really didn't expect this matter to spread so quickly. It's just that she is getting used to it, and she refuses to admit defeat easily, and says to herself: "It's just some gossip, and no one will mention it in a few days, so what's there to worry about? Our sister Yi was born well, she is both talented and beautiful, and she is the niece and granddaughter of the queen's mother, the daughter of a serious royal family, and there is no shortage of dowry, who doesn't like it? A good child, how can you let her go to fill the old man's house? You don't want to mention this matter again, unless I die, I must not agree!"

Qin Bofu sneered: "Mother doesn't have to worry, now I just want to mention it, but I can't mention it." People don't even know the word filial piety, and they only know how to disobey her and bully her younger siblings. Although Jinchun didn't choose the companion of the county lord of Minshun, the crown princess now likes her, and yesterday I heard that the crown princess rewarded her with things. If she is recuperating at home, it will be the glory of our family, who would dare to underestimate us?!"

Speaking of Qin Jinchun, Xue Shi was angry: "What else do you say." Sister Yi'er, do you think you are disobedient, could it be that the four girls are obedient? We said a long time ago that we would take her back to recuperate, when should she pass? Isn't it greedy for the wealth and nobility of the Chengenhou Mansion, and wants to enjoy happiness there, and dislikes our own home! The incident of Sister Yi splashing her water is just a housework, and the sisters are fighting and making trouble among themselves, and they are just idle for a while. She said that she didn't sue the crown princess, how did the people outside know? When the people I sent in the long room and the third room saw me, their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes, as if I had done something heinous. If it hadn't been for the girl to stir things up, how could they have done this? Do you want me to coax her back? If you don't give her a few boards, it's light!"

Qin Bofu stomped his feet: "Why does Mother still say these words? When is it now? You still only care about the prestige of your elders! I don't care how partial you are to Jinyi, Jinchun, you must coax people, and you can't let her be separated from us anymore." Jinyi is useless, if even Jinchun can't come back, where can our family find a better child who can marry a high-ranking family? No matter how good Brother Xun is, after all, he is a concubine, and he is still young, and he can't make a name for himself in a day of studying, and he has no confidence to climb the high branches. Now all we can count on is Jinchun. The long house is clearly trying to rob us of this child, and you can't even say a soft word, don't you deliberately push your own child to his house?!"

Xue's expression was a little disapproving: "You are too uplifting the four girls." Even if the crown princess rewarded her with a few more purses, palace flowers, or something, what was the great deal? The fourth girl, whether she was in appearance, talent, or temperament, was inferior to her sister in everything, so what good family could she climb? When a discerning person saw it, he would like Sister Yi more. ”

Qin Bofu saw that his mother was confused, so he could only say it differently: "Don't say such things, even if it's for Jinyi, you can't be stupid at this time." Now there are some bad rumors outside, which are very unfavorable to Jinyi's future, and her mother should have asked her to compensate Jinchun. I don't care if she kneels or cries, she must coax her sister to be angry. As long as Jinchun told outsiders that she was just joking with her sister, and the rumors were not true, Jinyi's reputation could be saved. At that time, my mother will be able to continue to talk about good family affairs to Jinyi!"

Xue Shi was stunned, and then solemnized: "What do you say...... There is some truth to this. That's it, the cunning thing of the four girls, if you don't coax her, you will never be obedient. When I turned around, I asked your daughter-in-law to take Sister Yi to the long room to see her, avoid those people in the long room, and ask Sister Yi to apologize to her. With your daughter-in-law by her side, Sister Yi didn't dare to be disobedient. ”

Qin Bofu said: "Your daughter-in-law is now lying in bed all day long and pretending to be sick, so she refuses to go out." Besides, she is annoyed with Jinyi now, in case she does something bad from it, it will be bad. Or do you make a trip yourself? You are an elder, when you arrive at the long room, apart from the two Mrs. Hou, who else can overpower you? The juniors are only obedient. No matter how good you are to persuade you, even if you can't coax Jinchun to be obedient, you have to coax people home first. When I get home, what can't I do?"

Xue's heart was moved, and he nodded and said, "Okay, when Sister Yi'er's leg injury is healed, I will take her there." ”

"Nope. Qin Bofu retorted, "Strike while the iron is hot." Now that the rumors are raging outside, it's time to clear things up as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Jinchun is willing to come forward to defend her sister, no one will care!"

Xue couldn't help but hesitate. The eldest granddaughter's leg injury is not healed yet, and she cries out of pain all day long. If you let her go out at this time, what if her leg injury is aggravated?
