Chapter 140: Greetings
Qin Hanzhen didn't know Xu Zheng, but when Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun chatted with her, they also mentioned several in-laws in the Chengenhou Mansion, and the one who came and went the most was naturally the maiden family of Chengenhou's wife Xu, so she also had a general understanding of the internal situation of the Xu family.

The Xu family is in the Xu family's generation, and the children have two sons and one daughter, namely the current Master Xu, the second master Xu and the Xu family, among which the Lord Xu is the person who went to the northwest to see Qin Song and Qin Bai's brothers, and it was he who set the family business of Qin Song for his sister Xu. Second Master Xu is Xu's younger brother, Qin Hanzhen doesn't know his situation, and Qin Bai rarely mentions it, but his wife, Second Lady Xu, hit it off at first sight with the Niu family at the banquet the day before yesterday, and it is said that she has a comfortable temperament, so she must not be a difficult person to get along with.
Master Xu's wife is the daughter of a serious scholarly family, gave birth to an only son, and has been studying since childhood, and has been a scholar since childhood. The grandchildren of the Xu family's house now have a son and two daughters, namely the eldest son Xu Zheng, the eldest daughter Xu Xiu, and the concubine Xu Lan.
The official position of the second master Xu is lower than that of his brother, and the background of the second lady Xu is also slightly lower than that of the concubine, but he is also from a scholarly family, and his father is said to have been an official to the prefect. The population of the second room of the Xu family is thinner than that of the long house, and there is also only one son, the daughter of the wife Jinshi, and only gave birth to a grandson, who is four years younger than Xu Zheng, named Xu Rong. In addition to this one son, the second grandmother of the Xu family has nothing to do, and the second master of the Xu family has not taken a concubine, in fact, there has been a discussion between relatives and friends, even the Xu family's room and the people of the side branch have also persuaded the second master of the Xu family to think more about the heirs, but the second master of the Xu family was unmoved, and the second master of the Xu family and the second lady of Xu had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the son and daughter-in-law's house, but only loved the only grandson Xu Rong, even if others talked about it a lot, they could not interfere.
Qin Hanzhen saw Xu Zheng now, and compared the age and appearance of the teenagers and girls around him, he quickly guessed the identities of the remaining three.
She smiled and squatted down to salute Xu Zheng, and called out according to Qin Jinhua's salutation: "I've seen Cousin Xu." ”
After she entered the Chengenhou Mansion, on the one hand, she paid attention to the manners of the sisters, on the other hand, there were also the tips of the two new grandmothers around the Niu family, and Mr. Zeng's personal demonstrations from time to time, so she also made up for it in terms of etiquette. Today's posture, she is very confident, and she definitely has the dignified style of a high-ranking daughter. This can be seen only by seeing the smiles on the faces of the Xu Xiu and Xu Lan sisters.
Qin Hanzhen straightened up, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's good, she didn't make a fool of herself in front of strangers, it can be seen that she has learned well in the recent etiquette course, and she will continue to work hard in the future!
Xu Zheng finished his salute, straightened up, and saw Qin Hanzhen's demeanor that was not wrong at all, his quiet and elegant expression, and the elegant and plain makeup on his body, and then smelled the faint elegant lotus fragrance that emanated from her movements, and a more gentle smile appeared on his face.
He was about to talk to Qin Hanzhen, but Qin Hanzhen had already turned to Xu Rong beside him, and he also went down for a week: "I've seen Second Cousin Xu." ”
Although Xu Rong is also the son-in-law of the Xu family, his painting style is a little different from Xu Zheng. If Xu Zheng is a handsome scholar, Xu Rong is a rich and noble son. He is wearing a royal blue brocade dress, his face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color is like the flower of spring dawn, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his eyebrows are picturesque, and he is still young now, so he is the kind of white fat and beautiful pleasing boy that the old men and old ladies like the most, and he is a few years older, I am afraid that he will become the number one beautiful man in the capital.
When he saw Qin Hanzhen saluting him, his big eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly returned the salute, so he grabbed his hair a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Although Qin San's sister is young, she looks like a little adult, and she is more stable than my sisters." ”
Xu Xiu, who was beside him, glanced at him with disgust: "Is Brother Rong praising Third Sister Qin when he says this, or is he making fun of me and Lan'er?"
Xu Rong smiled and arched his hand to her: "I said the wrong thing, don't be angry, eldest sister." ”
Xu Xiu slapped him again, and then stepped forward with a smile on his face and grabbed Qin Hanzhen's hands, saluted her, called her "sister", and said: "I heard that my sister came to the capital, I have long wanted to come over to see you, but everything must not be cheap." I finally came here before, but I didn't meet my sister, so I was really anxious, but fortunately I finally saw it today. ”
Qin Han really saw that her attitude was quite enthusiastic, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he only pursed his lips and smiled, pretending to be a lady of Sven.
Xu Lan finally came to greet Qin Hanzhen, although she was a concubine, her demeanor was also generous, and she was not twisted.
To tell the truth, the two girls of the Xu family, the eldest is eleven years old, the younger is ten years old, they are of the same age, and their looks are beautiful, obviously they were not born to the same mother, but they are quite similar between their eyebrows and eyes, and they can be seen to be sisters. The two girls are almost tall, short, fat and thin, combing the same hairstyle, wearing the same jade flowers, jade bead earrings, jade bracelets, wearing the same style of placket embroidered double-layer gauze shirt, tied with a pleated Luo skirt, and tied around the waist with a jade pressure skirt of similar color and water head, except for one wearing blue and the other wearing green, they are almost the same dress, and the style is quite close to Qin Hanzhen's new clothes, but Qin Hanzhen's clothes are more plain, and the jewelry is less than them.
Qin Hanzhen thought in his heart, no matter what, the grandmother of the Xu family, who had never met in the long house, may have a very good character, and raising a concubine is not only similar to the concubine in terms of materials, but also judging from Xu Lan's gestures, words and actions, she has received no worse education than her sister, and she is also very generous and natural with her brothers and sisters, and she has no inferiority complex at all. can teach the concubine so attentively, Grandma Xu's bearing and character are very admirable.
Qin Hanzhen was still thinking nonsense there, and Qin Jinhua was already laughing out loud next to him: "Grandmother, look, the three of them are standing together, as if they are sisters in the family." ”
Everyone invariably looked at Qin Hanzhen and the Xu family sisters, and found that their clothes and accessories were very similar in color and style, and they were all beautiful in appearance.
Qin Hanzhen blinked and said with a smile: "My clothes were newly made for me by the second uncle, and I haven't put them on before." Yao nodded with a smile: "That's it, the clothes of our girls, which one is not the style set by the lady?" And Xu's preferences in clothing will naturally be strongly influenced by the Xu family.
When everyone thought about it, they understood. It's not a big deal, but it's such a coincidence that the three girls are standing together today, and everyone thinks it's an interesting thing.
Qin Jinhua also took Qin Jinchun's hand over, approached Qin Hanzhen's side and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "What kind of incense did the third sister smoke today? I smell it like the one that Cousin Xu smoked when she came to our house before." ”
Xu Xiu said with a smile: "This is lotus incense, my aunt and grandmother love it when she is at home, I smell it and like it, so I also asked someone to match it, presumably my aunt and grandmother are also commonly used on weekdays." ”
Qin Hanzhen remembered that this incense seemed to have been stuffed into her jade sachet by Xia Qing before going out. Xia Qing was originally from Songfeng Hall, and he had served the Xu family, so it was not strange to have this spice, so he laughed it off.
Then Brother Zi'er came to meet the four brothers and sisters of the Xu family, Xu Zheng was nothing, but Xu Rong seemed to think Brother Zi'er was very interesting, and pulled him to play with the three-year-old Qin Duan. In this regard, Xu Lan spit and said: "The second brother doesn't seem to grow up, and he always likes to play with children." Xu Rong turned around and grimaced at her, then pulled Qin Duan and Brother Zi'er away with a smile, saying that he was going to the yard to catch him.
Xu Shi smiled: "Let them play, let's sit down and eat in a while." He also instructed Yao, "Let their sisters play in the back room, just don't let them eat too many snacks and snacks, and beware of refusing to eat for a while." Yao agreed, and then instructed the girls to clean up two round tables in the west room of Kurong Hall, let Qin Hanzhen and a few other children go over to chat and talk, and ordered the little girls to serve with their hearts.
Qin Hanzhen sat at a table with Qin Jinhua, Qin Jinchun, and the Xu family sisters, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Jinyi following them with a straight face, as if he was angry about something, and his face was ugly. She looked at the empty seat beside her, as if there were no extra embroidery piers, and said to the little girl, "Bring one more chair, the big girl has no seat yet." The little girl answered. Qin Jinyi's face became even more ugly, and she glanced at Qin Hanzhen coldly.
Qin Hanzhen only felt inexplicable. What's crazy about this girl today?
Speaking of which, Qin Jinyi is dressed today...... Isn't it too flashy?
Qin Jinyi was wearing a stand-up collar placket embroidered shirt, although it was also double-veiled, but the collar was tightly buttoned, it should be quite hot. She wore a red pomegranate skirt on her lower body, and covered the skirt with a layer of light white yarn, and the skirt changed from bright red to pink, faintly through the light veil, you can see the exquisite lotus embroidery on the red dress underneath, echoing the twig pattern embroidered with silver thread on the white yarn. In addition to this dress, she also combed her hanging hair, hairpins of jade flowers and beads, hung eight treasures on her chest, and tied a gold silk velope with white jade beads on the skirt. Qin Jinyi's body is indescribably rich and gorgeous, she also smeared fat powder on her face, but she sweated a lot, her makeup fell off a lot, and the powder was not evenly smeared.
On such a hot day, it's not going to someone else's house for a banquet, dressing up so gorgeously, and coming to meet a few relatives, what is this girl thinking in her head?
Qin Hanzhen muttered a few words in his heart, but he didn't say it. The matter of the second room has nothing to do with her, anyway, the people in the long room let her into the house, so you can't drive her out, right?
Who knew that at this time, Xu Lan looked up at Qin Jinyi and said innocently: "Senior Sister Qin, when you were in Shichahai just now, didn't you feel dizzy and couldn't even walk?
Qin Hanzhen was stunned, and his face became strange.
Qin Jinyi also went to Shichahai? Wasn't she left at home?
