Qin Bai heard the news of Zhao Mo's door, and knew that he and Qin Hanzhen had been good since childhood, so he must have something to say, so he waited for the two children to come over in his own room. Who knew that they didn't show up, and Niu began to worry and be verbose, so he slowly paced into the garden to find someone.

He saw Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo talking in Fengwei Xuan from a distance, and he knew that they must be talking about it, forgetting the time, but he didn't feel anything. Zhao Mo said that it was inconvenient to entertain people as guests in the third year of junior high school, and he didn't take it to heart. Zhao Mo almost grew up watching him, can he be treated as an ordinary outsider?

Qin Bai walked into the Xuanzhong and felt the warmth in the Xuanzhong, so he smiled: "You two children will enjoy it, no wonder you stay in the garden for half a day." It was nice and warm and the view from the window was good. I originally said that I was going to find a snowy day, and I came to enjoy the snow with my grandmother, and blanched some wine or made some hot tea along the way, and drank it while enjoying the scenery and chatting. Grandmother Han Zhen is too lazy to move, refuses to go out, I don't want to come alone, to this day, I haven't been here. Thanks to both of you, I'm here to experience it first. ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly helped him sit down by the stove, poured him a cup of ginger tea, and took off his snow-stained boots for him and put them by the stove to roast.

Qin Bai waved his hand: "It's okay, before I went out, your grandmother specially asked me to put on cowhide boots, I'm not afraid of snow, I'll take it off when I go back in a while." He enjoyed the scenery outside the glass window with great interest, focusing on the bamboo forest, as well as the pine trees and pavilions in the distance, and discussed with Qin Hanzhen how to lay out a painting if he conceived it from this angle, and finally said: "Actually, when I came over, I saw that you were both in the Xuanzhong, talking face-to-face, and that picture was very good." Another day, I'll draw a picture like that. I've got it drawn for you to see. ”

Qin Bai is really a rich idler now, the family's property is taken care of by the capable stewards given by the emperor, the old wife and the old wife's mothers are in charge, and the little granddaughter can help from time to time, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, he only needs to look at the accounts under the year and know how much property he has, and it is enough. He didn't have to go to the court, he didn't teach any students, and he didn't have much to do on weekdays. Reading books, writing, and drawing pictures every day is considered a pastime. Niu couldn't play with him, so the couple could only chat. In addition to occasionally instructing his granddaughter in her homework, he also picked up poetry, calligraphy and painting again. Qin Hanzhen has been studying painting for many years, and if it weren't for a grandfather with superb painting skills who demonstrates in front of her every day, her level would not have improved so quickly.

Qin Bai rested his feet in Fengwei Xuan for a while, took a moment of warmth, and was about to pull Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo back to the main courtyard. No matter how warm it is here, it is only a small house, which is naturally not as comfortable as a high hall.

Qin Hanzhen helped his grandfather, walked slowly, and secretly glanced at Zhao Mo from time to time.

Zhao Mo hugged Qin Bai's other side, and reminded him intimately, asking his uncle and grandfather to watch the road carefully, beware of the snow and slippery roads, but he also secretly glanced at Qin Hanzhen from time to time.

Sometimes they miss each other's eyes, and sometimes they happen to hit each other. Zhao Mo pursed his lips and smiled as if he had stolen candy to eat. Qin Hanzhen felt that the roots of his ears were hot again, and he was ashamed and embarrassed. Half a time and a time, I just thought I was unlucky and was caught by him. But three or four times, he smiled meaningfully at her, which made her feel ashamed and glared back hatefully. Who knew that Zhao Mo was not angry at all, but smiled even more happily. Qin Hanzhen was really sulking, and when he thought about it, he felt that he was too strange, he couldn't hold his breath when he was old, and he actually called a real young man to easily stir his heart. Can she grow a little better? If she continues like this, she will look down on herself!

Qin Bai asked the two young children to help them walk, while paying attention to the stone path under their feet from time to time, while enjoying the garden scenery with great interest, he didn't notice that behind his head, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo had an eyebrow lawsuit, and they were about to burst into flames.

Back in the upper room of the main courtyard, Qin Hanzhen helped his grandfather sit down, took a deep breath, calmly glanced at Zhao Mo's face, and sat down beside his grandmother as if nothing had happened. Zhao Mo naturally couldn't follow this time, so he had to smile and sit on the chair where Qin Bai started.

Niu was very happy to see Zhao Mo coming, and couldn't help complaining: "Don't you feel cold after delaying in the garden for so long? Even if you put a few more braziers in Fengwei Xuan, you can't stop the door in that Xuan, and you can't stop the wind." You young people just don't know what to do. When I was happy for a while, I didn't care about it, and when I found out that I had a cold and got sick, I knew that I regretted it! Hurry up and drink a few more bowls of ginger tea, I specially asked someone to boil it, it was very thick, and brown sugar was put in. Drink it and sweat, it's fine. He asked Zhao Mo if he had brought clean clothes to replace, and he learned that he didn't, and he didn't even bring the little guy who was waiting with him, so he rode out on a horse by himself, Niu scolded him a few more words, and even called someone to take Qin Bai's new winter clothes and winter boots that he hadn't made this winter, and asked Zhao Mo to change them. The clothes, shoes and socks that have been changed have been cleaned and dried by someone.

Zhao Mo smiled and let the Niu family be at the mercy of the Niu, without the slightest resistance, and specially mentioned before entering the room to change clothes: "My cousin also accompanied me to blow the wind in the garden for a long time, but I am afraid that I also need to change my clothes." ”

Qin Hanzhen's mood was in a delicate state, and he directly refuted it: "I'm fine, I haven't got snow on my body, my shoes are covered with clogs, and they don't get wet, and the sheepskin boots are not afraid of snow." I'm warm, and I don't need to go back to the yard to change my clothes. While talking, Feng'er came over with a big burden, but she brought her clean clothes, shoes and socks for her to change, probably guessing that she would not go back to the yard to change her clothes.

Qin Hanzhen touched her nose and felt that she had a feeling of being slapped in the face, but Feng'er was kind, she naturally would not live up to it, so she quietly went to the other side and quickly changed.

Feng'er rearranged her hair, and when she saw that there was no one else in the room, she asked her in a low voice: "Girl, the prince of that county didn't bully you, did he?" After I passed the message to Mrs. Hou, I went back to the garden. I saw you talking in the Xuan from afar, and the serious look of the prince of the county seemed to be discussing business, and I didn't know whether to disturb or not. The prince saw me through the window, and motioned for me to stay away. I was afraid that I would really disturb the girl's speech, so I didn't dare to go forward, so I had to go back to the intersection and wait. Later, the probe saw that the prince of the county seemed to be asking the girl something, and I was about to go over to find the girl, so the Hou Ye came. Because Qin Bai passed, Feng'er was sure that her girl would not suffer, so she would go back to the yard to get clean clothes.

Qin Han was really stunned. Unexpectedly, Feng'er turned back to the garden halfway, and asked Zhao Mo to take his eyes away. She didn't notice it from beginning to end! It is estimated that her heart was in turmoil at that time, and she didn't care about seeing who came from outside Xuan, right?

Thinking of this, Qin Hanzhen felt that his face was starting to get hot again. She was a little glad that Feng'er really called Zhao Mozhi and left, she didn't see her embarrassed appearance later, and she didn't hear what she and Zhao Mo said in Xuanzhong......

Qin Hanzhen cleared his throat and said vaguely: "It's okay, I'll talk to Cousin Zhao...... It's just gossip or something. It is indeed difficult for others to hear about matters related to his family. You don't know. He is very good with our family, and his character is trustworthy, and he will not bully me, you don't have to worry. ”

Feng'er and Zhao Mo didn't spend much time together, and they were full of calculations, that is, when they came back from Jiangnan and took a boat on the canal, they didn't arrive in Cangzhou yet. She didn't know much about Zhao Mo, but she was very convinced of Qin Hanzhen. Since Qin Hanzhen said that it didn't matter, she didn't ask any more.

It's just that she still couldn't help but mention it to Qin Hanzhen more: "This county prince has a lot of eyes, so the girl should be careful." Although his character is reliable, he is always a foreign man. There was another sentence, she didn't dare to say: When the girl became a relative to the prince of the county, she didn't need to worry so much.

Qin Hanzhen didn't know what Feng'er was thinking, so he smiled dryly and thanked her for the reminder. When they returned to the outer room, Zhao Mo was already dressed and sat next to him, chatting with Qin Bai and Niu. Seeing that Qin Hanzhen was back, he turned his head to look over, his eyes lit up, and he began to purse his lips and smile.

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him, ignored him, and sat down next to the grandmother cow again.

Zhao Mo was talking to Qin Bai about the topic he had just talked about with Qin Hanzhen, it was his father Zhao Shuo who had recently gotten close to the family of Zhao Hao, the son of the former Jin Dynasty. He himself couldn't figure out why, and speculated that although there were two losers vying for the throne of the emperor to warm up, he couldn't take it lightly.

Qin Bai is often in Beijing, although he is an idler, he does not pay attention to the political affairs of the DPRK and China. But he has to go to the palace to see the emperor and the prince from time to time, and the news on the side of the long house is also well-informed, so he knows much more news than Zhao Mo who is far away in Suning.

Regarding the correspondence between Zhao Shuo and Zhao Jie, he also heard some rumors: "After the Wang family returned to their hometown, they stopped for a few years, and I heard that the illness of the eldest lord Wang finally improved, but his second son, who was ill, could only hand over the power of the head of the family and change it to his eldest son." On the Wang family's side, there has always been a desire to return to the capital, and several young children are going to participate in the next spring's examination, and they have sent people to Beijing to take care of it a few months earlier. Several in-laws of the Wang family also took action, but they helped clean the house, collected the works of famous Confucians, and the articles of previous years' exams, but did not do anything else. Your father and the prince of the former Jin Dynasty are both sons-in-law of the Wang family, so it's probably because of this that they got closer, right?"

Zhao Mo was a little surprised, and then sneered: "The Wang family finally got out, and they still have to go back to the dead end? It's a pity that the second master Wang, he was an understanding person." ”

Qin Bai was noncommittal: "No matter which family it is, it will look forward to the advancement of the children of the family in the imperial examination." The Wang family is not a sinner, so naturally they can also send their children to participate in the imperial examination. But how many people are studying in the world? If you want to go to high school successfully, I am afraid that the children of the Wang family will have to work harder. ”
