Chapter 164: Slipping Away

The infighting of the big girl in Songfeng Hall naturally has nothing to do with Qin Hanzhen. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She also occasionally heard some gossip rumors in Songfeng Hall from Qingxing or Xia Qing, such as a second-class girl who ironed the new clothes for Mrs. Chengenhou Xu, or a first-class girl was found to be unable to match the accounts, and for example, a certain piece of valuable jewelry of Xu's was inexplicably stolen and inexplicably reappeared in a mother-in-law's baggage, and a little girl accidentally broke Xu's cherished tea set vase or something...... It's very lively, and it's really a good show.

The officials really don't know the ins and outs of all the gossip here, but judging from the number of girls and daughters-in-law who have been punished and fired in Songfeng Hall in a short period of time, they also know how fierce the infighting in Songfeng Hall is. The three rooms only sit on the wall and watch, and when they occasionally mention it, they feel speechless.

Xu Chengenhou's wife, Xu Shi, also felt that it was not a good idea to go on like this, so she quickly stabilized the situation by thunderous means and put an end to all kinds of chaos. And when the turmoil subsided, Brother Parrot still failed to regain a first-class promotion, but Magpie was fined half a year's money, her sister Plantchin was also demoted to the third class, and Hongyan was rewarded for helping Xu's to calm down the situation. Because of the hindrance of the Xu family, the two sides finally stopped for the time being, and they were quite fine for a while.

The infighting in Songfeng Hall can only be regarded as a housework in the long room, and the Xu family probably felt that the parrot brother had a quarrel before, which made the third room unhappy, and it was his own fault, so he deliberately released his goodwill and rebuilt the old friendship with the third room. The ninth day of the sixth month is the birth sacrifice of Qin Hanzhen's deceased mother Guan, and the three rooms have no intention of doing a big deal, but the family went to Longfu Temple to do a ritual, and the sacrifice is. But after Xu learned about it, he was stunned to send his daughters-in-law Yao and Min to accompany them, and helped arrange the legal affairs, and almost even helped pay the silver, and also entrusted favors, and invited the abbot of Longfu Temple and another abbot of a famous temple in Beijing to come forward to preside over the ceremony, and the Guan family's sacrifice was done decently. Even the palace was alarmed, and the queen mother and concubine sent people to add incense to the ceremony, and also rewarded Qin Hanzhen.

It's rare decency. Qin Bai took his wife Niu into the palace afterwards to thank him, and he also spoke to the Queen Mother for a while. Niu was a little nervous when he entered the palace for the first time, but after returning home, he relaxed and said to Qin Hanzhen: "The Queen Mother and several concubines and concubines are all extremely amiable people, and there is no arrogance at all. They also said that when you are out of filial piety, they will let you also go to the palace to meet you. ”

Qin Han really thought about it and became nervous: "Huh, do you really want to go?"

Qin Bai smiled: "If you want to go, you can go, it's okay." How old are you? There is something out of order, and the queen mother and the concubines will not be as familiar as your children's family. The children and grandchildren of our Qin family, almost no one has never entered the palace, and you will be the same. ”

She didn't grow up in the Chengenhou Mansion......

However, Qin Han really thought about it, and felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. She said that she was also a relative of the royal family, and the emperor was obviously close to her brother-in-law Qin Bai's family. The queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, and she has no son herself, she has maintained a friendly relationship with the emperor for thirty years, and she will not have a quarrel with the Qin family for no reason, and there is no reason to embarrass her as a little girl. She should have gone to see the world. I don't know how this palace looks different from the Forbidden City she has been to?

This matter of entering the palace will have to wait until at least the end of August, and Qin Hanzhen still has to continue to live a peaceful life. She goes to and from school every day, does homework, eats with her grandparents, and plays with her cousin Zi'er, but she has less time to see Zhao Mo. It has been some time since Zhao Mo moved to Yan and returned, and it is impossible to stay in the Qingfeng Pavilion all the time. Even if Qin Hanzhen saw him when he went to Qingfeng Pavilion, he would most likely stay in the study and be busy with his homework, and he would not be able to take a breath and chat with her until his homework was done.

However, Zhao Mo has gained a lot while he is busy studying. The subordinates from the Liao Wangfu finally arrived in the capital and met Zhao Mo in the house in Shejia Hutong. The master and servant have only been separated for a year, and when they see each other again, they are like a world away, hugging each other and crying. Zhao Mo asked them about their recent situation one by one, as well as the changes in the Liao Wang's Mansion after he left Liaodong, so he asked these people to temporarily settle in the house in Shejia Hutong and wait for his arrangement.

Zhao Mo only took four people back to the Chengenhou Mansion, respectively, a big girl who had been waiting for his daily life since childhood, named Qingdai, about sixteen years old; a mother-in-law in her early fifties, known as Fei's mother, was originally the person who waited beside Zhao Miao's mother Wen, but because she was sent to the Liao Wangfu by the Internal Affairs Bureau, Wen's heart was a little scared of her, and she had never arranged any important errands, almost just enjoying leisure, and now it came in handy; 。

As for Zhao Mo's former confidant, Agui, because his injuries had not healed, he continued to stay in Shejia Hutong to recuperate. It's just that his injury is not light, and his face is also damaged, even if the injury heals in the future, it is not suitable to continue to stay under Zhao Mo to run errands. Zhao Mo discussed with him privately and decided to let him go to the leather store to make an account in the future. Although there are people from the forest farm who are suitable to be the shopkeeper of the leather store, Zhao Mo still needs to keep a cronie to supervise the store. With Agui looking at the leather store, Zhao Mo can also rest assured.

The storefront of the leather goods store, Qin Bai has already asked someone to clean it up. Zhang Wanquan from Datong sent two letters, agreeing that the first batch of leather goods would be sent to the capital before August, if it sold well, it would be supplied to Zhao Mo's leather store for many years in the future, in case the supply could not be supplied, Wen Erye was his reliable backing. Right now, a few people that Zhao Mo dug up from his father are busy training the guys called in the store, preparing for the opening after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The storefront in front of the house in Shejia Hutong was successfully rented to the eldest son of King Xiuning under Qin Bai's matchmaking, and now the steward he sent is in charge and has opened a stationery store, taking the high-end route, and selling not bargains. At present, the store has only been open for a few days, and the business is just mediocre, but the rent for three years has already fallen into Zhao Mo's pocket.

Seeing that Zhao Mo's life plan was going well, Qin Hanzhen was also happy for him. Zhao Mo also wanted to hand over the silver ticket to her for safekeeping, but she refused this time: "Cousin Zhao also wants to keep some silver by his side, ready to use it when necessary." You are not alone now, and there are many retinue and servants by your side, so it is inconvenient to have no money by your side. ”

Zhao Mo thought about it and felt that it was right, so he didn't insist anymore. His leather shop hasn't opened yet, and his twenty-odd people can't be counted on his uncle and grandfather Qin Bai to provide food and clothing, right? Besides, now that Fei's mother and Qingdai are guarding his house when he returns from Yan, there is no need to worry about the risk of theft of his finances. But now that there are many people, he still has to hide from the people around him, and don't let Qing Dai gossip about him entrusting his property to Qin Hanzhen for safekeeping.

How could Qing Dai and Fei's mother gossip? They had only been here for less than two days, and they had already recognized the situation. The little master, Zhao Moming, is close to the ancestors and grandsons of Yongjiahou, and is often with Qin Hanzhen, so why should they talk too much? The little master is now disliked by Zhao Shuo, the eldest prince of the Liao Palace, and his status is unstable. Not to mention that Zhao Mo and Yongjiahou's family are close, they won't talk much, even if Zhao Mo and Yongjiahou's family have a quarrel, they still have to persuade them. This is all for the sake of the future of their little master!

Zhao Mo noticed the attitude of the people around him, so he became more and more unscrupulous, and he was relieved and bold to get close to the third room of the Qin family. He wants to talk and chat with Qin Hanzhen whenever he has the opportunity, and there is almost nothing he doesn't know about Qin Hanzhen. Even the previous farce between the Xu family and Brother Parrot, he knew it very well. Except for the news he heard in private, the truth of the matter was basically what Qin Hanzhen told him.

The people around may think that the girls in the boudoir shouldn't talk about marriage or anything, so they are worried about not letting Qin Hanzhen mention it, but she really doesn't think it has anything to do with it. How old is she? If there is really a scandal because of this, the person who believes it is a joke!

Zhao Mo was very displeased with his family's actions. Seeing that the Xu family reappeared in the Chengenhou Mansion after being silent for more than ten days, and the second Mrs. Xu also took her nephew and daughter-in-law, Grandma Xu, to the Qingfeng Pavilion to talk to the Niu family, Zhao Mo felt even more unbearable. He said to Qin Hanzhen privately in the East Chamber: "What else is the Xu family doing here? Do you have to pretend that nothing is wrong? Uncle and grandmother said so clearly that day, if his family still wants to mention any marriage or not marriage, it will be too thick-skinned!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "They are relatives of the long house, and love doesn't come." My grandmother knew in her heart, but she just kept her face to face with them, so she didn't care about any marriage or not. However, I also think that the Xu family is not simple, even if they know that they will not have a good face, they have to come over to socialize hard, and this courage is still very admirable. ”

Zhao Mo smiled coldly: "What is there to admire? Such a person's cousin should be more vigilant! If a person still has a face, there is always a limit to his actions, and he will not do too much." But if the Xu family endures any humiliation in order to achieve their goal, and doesn't take it to heart at all, God knows what else they will do? They don't even care about face and reputation, what else in the world can restrain them?"

Qin Hanzhen also became serious when he heard it: "That's right. Such people really should have less contact. It's a pity, she originally thought that Xu Xiu and Xu Lan had okay personalities, and maybe they could become friends. But there is a difference in the position of the two families, they have become friends, and it will be awkward to get along, so forget it.

Zhao Mo saw that she agreed with her opinion, and smiled again, this time smiling warmly: "Second Mrs. Xu and Grandma Xu are in the main house, I don't know if they will take the opportunity to ask to see you." When they're gone, it's not too late for you to come back. "Look, he would rather spend less time laughing with Qin Hanzhen.

Qin Hanzhen nodded, glanced at the movement on the other side of the main house a few times, and then quietly slipped away. With Zhao Mo covering for her under the corridor, her escape plan was quite smooth, but she left Qingxing in Qingfeng Pavilion, which was a bit of a pity. But Qingxing is in the west chamber, if she is called, the people in the main house will hear it. Qin Hanzhen decided to go back and send someone to call Qingxing back.

She slipped into the second gate smoothly, returned to the door of Mingyuewu, and was about to enter the door, when she saw the lobby sister Qin Jinyi dressed up and came out of the door of the Peach Blossom Xuan Courtyard. The two sisters took a look at each other, Qin Hanzhen didn't have the intention to say much to Qin Jinyi, so he just smiled and said hello according to the etiquette: "Hello big sister." ”

She originally planned to go into the courtyard after saying hello, but Qin Jinyi stopped her: "Where did the third sister come from?" The expression on her face was very strange.
