Qin Hanzhen didn't know before, it turned out that there were also several properties in the back street, which were for sale. Now that I know it, I feel that it would be a pity if such a good opportunity was missed!

If you can buy it, you only need to make a hole in the wall, and you don't even have to go out of the door, so you can communicate with Yongjiahou Mansion. However, this property only has two entrances, and it is estimated that it is not suitable for use as a county king's mansion, and it is still good to be a separate courtyard. When Lu Yueniang got married, Qin Youzhen planned to buy her a house to dowry. Then she and Zhao Mo are married, and if she marries him in two years, she can also marry a property. This house will be very convenient for both rental and self-occupation in the future. It's close to her mother's house, she can come back at any time, and no one will chew her tongue, saying that she is still sticking to her mother's house when she gets married, because she lives in her own place, as long as she pulls Zhao Mo to live in it.

The house across the street was larger, and if it could be slightly remodeled, or if some of the neighbor's house could be bought, it should be possible to make it into a county king's mansion. Qin Hanzhen remembered that the owners of the neighborhoods over there, one household was the old department of the old marquis, and the other household was directly the son of the Chengenhou Mansion, at the level of a steward. As long as she goes to talk to the long house and finds two other houses to exchange with them, it must be easy to change the house. Although this house is not connected to the Yongjiahou Mansion, it is only across the street, and it is just a few steps away, so it is equally convenient to get around.

As for the mansion in the northeast corner of the Chengenhou Mansion, it's okay, if you can get it, it's not bad, but it's not as convenient as the two mansions in front.

Qin Hanzhen returned to her courtyard and seriously considered whether to buy the house directly and use it as a property for the marriage in the future, or to provide the news to Zhao Mo and ask him to set the location of the Junwang Mansion in the back street of the Hou Mansion? After thinking about it again, she decided to inquire about the situation by herself first, at least to find out the current situation and price of the house, and who is currently responsible for the sale. In this way, when she told Zhao Mo the news, he also knew it. Let's see what he plans first, if he thinks that there is an industry in these houses, of course Qin Hanzhen will not rob him. But if he had set up another house, then she would have no reason not to make a move.

I remember that Zhao Mo mentioned that he planned to buy a property in the area of the Drum Tower, preferably on the shore of Shicha Sea? Then it is estimated that he will be inclined to give up, right? It doesn't matter, Qin Hanzhen just heard Qin Youzhen mention the approximate price of those houses, and felt that he still had a way to persuade his grandfather and grandmother to buy one of them as her dowry. The economic situation of Yongjiahou Mansion is undoubtedly much more relaxed than that of the Lu family.

Qin Hanzhen called Baiqiao over and asked her to inquire. Baiqiao's father and brother are now working in the industry outside the Yongjiahou Mansion, so it must not be difficult to find out the relevant news. Bai Qiao responded, and then asked with some curiosity: "What is the girl asking for? Could it be that our Hou Mansion is going to be expanded?" Because it is a property next to the Yongjia Hou Mansion, the first thought of ordinary people will be to think of this.

Qin Hanzhen shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just a little interested, I want to inquire." If you have news, let me know as soon as possible. ”

Baiqiao's eyes rolled, and he smiled in response. Feng'er walked in from the outside, gave Qin Hanzhen a bowl of red date tea, and saw that there was no one outside the door, so she lowered her voice and asked her: "Isn't the girl looking for a mansion for the prince of the county to be the palace of the king?

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said: "How many suitable houses can there be on the shore of Shichahai? He doesn't know how many places he has picked up before and after, who knows how many are left? Maybe in the end he can only open a mansion elsewhere." The back street of our Hou Mansion is actually not bad, there are many dignitaries and nobles living nearby, there are also clan families, and there are shops that should be there, which is a quiet area in the middle of the city, and it is not far from the gate of the imperial city. If we can really build a palace here, then it will be convenient for us to go back to our parents' house in the future!"

Feng'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The girl is really down-and-out and generous, although she will also be shy, but when it comes to serious things, it is not ambiguous at all, and she has never twisted and pinched and stopped talking about business because of shame." The prince of the county can marry a daughter-in-law like a girl, he really burned high incense in his last life!"

Qin Hanzhen snorted and laughed: "You don't need to praise me vigorously." I'm still shy when I'm shy, but no matter how shy I am, life is still the same. I knew for a long time that I would marry Cousin Zhao, but now my imagination has become a reality, what is there to twist? For the sake of my future life, I have to do what I need to do. I don't want to rely on him for everything, and I can enjoy it myself. That family doesn't belong to him alone, I have a part in it. Even if it's for your own comfort, you can't go out without any strength. ”

Feng'er's eyes rolled: "But these things that the girl has done can't be hidden from the prince of the county, you have to let him know how much effort the girl has put into his future palace." He was moved in his heart, and he would cherish the girl even more. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at her funny: "In the past, you always stopped me from meeting him in private, as if you were afraid that he would take advantage of me." Why are you urging me to contact him now? Your attitude has changed too quickly. ”

Feng'er said disapprerovingly: "How can this be the same? In the past, the girl and the prince of the county were unrelated people, and the lonely man and widow were in one place, so that people knew that they would gossip and ruin the girl's good reputation. Now the girl and the prince of the county are going to be engaged, and it is the marriage of the royal gift, no one can stop it, the prince of the county is the aunt of our girls, and he is half a master. Naturally, I hope that the girl and her aunt can live a harmonious and beautiful life. As long as it is good for the girl and the aunt, I will approve of it. It's not that my attitude has changed, it's just that the girl has an extra uncle. ”

Qin Hanzhen's ears were hot when he heard this, and he said angrily: "What did your aunt tell him to do? He's not your uncle! Go out, I'm going to practice painting, don't bother me!"

Feng'er said with a smile: "The girl is really still shy." He lifted the curtain and ran out.

Qin Hanzhen covered his hot cheeks, looked at the painting case and painting tools in front of him, hesitated, but still couldn't hold back, took the letter paper, sharpened the ink, and wanted to write a daily greeting letter to Zhao Mo first.

Not to mention what happened after Zhao Mo received the letter, in a blink of an eye, he came to the day when Qin Hanzhen was the host and invited Cai Yuanzhen and Yu Xinlan to the house for a tea party. Lu Yueniang and Qin Jinhua were invited by her to be guests. The five girls set up two tea tables in the Fengwei Xuan in the garden, and chatted while rewarding, but they were also happy.

Cai Yuanzhen and Yu Xinlan both congratulated Qin Hanzhen on her marriage and was about to become the princess of Suning County. Qin Han was really embarrassed, thanked them first, and when he turned around to avoid people, he quietly thanked Cai Yuanzhen: "If Sister Cai hadn't told me the news in the palace, maybe I would have had a fate with Cousin Zhao." Please accept Sister Cai's worship, my sister's affection, I will never forget it in my life. ”

Cai Yuanzhen hurriedly helped her up and said with a smile: "I'm just reminding her casually, in fact, the prince of the county may have heard about it a long time ago, and he will also find a way to deal with it, so as not to fall into the situation of being at the mercy of others." I actually got a credit for nothing. Now that I see that you can have a lover and finally become married, I am also happy for you. I don't have to say anything thankful or not, I didn't do anything. I'm embarrassed to say that again. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and took her hand: "Since Sister Cai said this, I won't be polite to you, but my sister shouldn't talk to me either." ”

Cai Yuanzhen pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't talk to you." I want to thank you today, I was not familiar with my future sister-in-law in the past, for fear that I would not know anything in the future and would accidentally offend her. You invited me to be a guest, but it gave me a good opportunity to get along with my sister-in-law, but it helped me a lot!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "It's good to help Sister Cai." Cousin Lu was also worried in her heart. She is actually a very kind and generous good sister. I'm sure you'll get along well. ”

She specially arranged for Cai Yuanzhen and Lu Yueniang to sit together. After a while, the two got along very well, both polite and two points more intimate than others. They privately talked about their hobbies, and found that they both liked the same piano artist of the previous dynasty. Cai Yuanzhen has collected a piano that has been used by the other party for many years, and Lu Yueniang has the other party's autographed piano score, which are very precious things. Both of them were interested, and made an appointment to choose another time and place, each with the piano and the piano score, and met again to enjoy these two cultural relics.

Qin Hanzhen pulled Qin Jinhua to chat with Yu Xinlan. Since Mrs. Yu had just recovered from her illness, their initial topics were basically focused on Mrs. Yu's condition. Yu Xinlan briefly mentioned the cause of her mother's illness, as well as which doctor she hired, what medicine she took, when she started to get better, and so on, and said to Qin Hanzhen: "My mother fell ill this time, which made me interested in medical books. It's a pity that I don't know how to heal, otherwise I wouldn't have watched my mother suffer, but I couldn't do anything about it. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "Even if you read medical books, you may not be able to learn to become a doctor." Sister Yu doesn't have to think too much, if she is interested, she can flip through the medical books, just as a pastime. If you know more about medicine and pharmacology, although you can't be a doctor, if your family has some minor illnesses and pains, you don't need to ask a doctor, you can make a preliminary diagnosis and take timely measures to prevent the aggravation of the disease. This is a good thing. My grandfather also collected a lot of medical books, and occasionally flipped through them in his spare time, although he couldn't diagnose people's pulses, but my grandmother was unwell, and the prescriptions prescribed to her by the imperial doctor could be understood by my grandfather, and he also knew whether it was the right symptom. ”

Yu Xinlan nodded solemnly and hesitated: "I don't know if I'm lucky enough to take a look at Yongjiahou's collection of books?"

Qin Hanzhen invited her to come today for this purpose. She naturally said yes, and immediately invited Yu Xinlan to take a walk outside the study. Qin Jinhua didn't have much interest in reading books, so he went to Cai Yuanzhen and Lu Yueniang.

Qin Hanzhen led Yu Xinlan to the outer study alone. Because he had greeted him in advance, Qin Bai was not here today, and even the little girl who was originally waiting for him was withdrawn, leaving only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl outside the door to listen to orders and do some chores.

Yu Xinlan didn't care, as soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the books on the several large bookcases around her, and her eyes never left those books. Qin Hanzhen invited her to sit down and drink tea, but she didn't care, she stood in front of one of the bookcases, staring at the rows of ancient books above, her eyes were shining. Seeing this, Qin Hanzhen didn't mention anything to her to drink tea, took a chair and put it in front of the desk, let her take the book, sit down and read it slowly. She herself ran to Qin Bai's bookcase, took a pen and paper, and began to practice calligraphy.

Not long after, a report suddenly came from the front yard: "Girl, someone came to the palace, saying that it was the order of the Queen Mother, and the girl was going to see her." ”
