Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo actually didn't have much to prepare, at most they just got some chic refreshments, and then found two more fresh tricks of Nine Rings, Kong Ming Locks and the like to pass the time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 During the info feast, they can't all be used for fun, and most of the time is still spent reading and practicing calligraphy.

There is also Brother Zi'er, even if it is to set a good example for his little brother, Qin Hanzhen can't waste his time too much.

However, thanks to the blessing of the Kong Ming lock that Zhao Mo bought back a few days ago, Qin Hanzhen felt that her ability to do this kind of ancient intellectual toy had greatly improved, and the six Kong Ming locks or the ordinary nine rings were not difficult for her, and she began to feel that there was no challenge in the kind of toys that she could currently access. If she can find a more difficult style, she might have a little more fun.

But the nine rings owned by the sisters in the Chengenhou Mansion have been dismantled by Qin Hanzhen, only the easier ones, and the more difficult ones have never appeared. Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun both looked straight at each other and said straightly: "How did you come up with it? It was actually dismantled so quickly!" But they didn't know where to find the more difficult toy, this kind of toy was usually not sent from the outer courtyard, or when the brothers went out for a walk, they saw it on the street and bought it as a gift.

However, among the old things of Qin Bai stored in the C-word library, there are several jade or gold nine rings, which are made inside, which were specially made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the previous dynasty for the little princes and princesses in the palace to play. Qin Bai has been studying since he was a child, but he has long passed the age of playing with these things, and he has put things away casually, and he has not played much. This time, he cleaned up the objects in the C-shaped library, and he didn't take these playthings to heart, but when he saw it, he picked them up and sent them to his granddaughter.

Such a nine-in-a-row is worth a lot of money, and there are two more difficult ones. But this kind of expensive goods, Qin Han really didn't dare to start. The jade ring was so slender and thin, she was really afraid that with a little force, she would break it. But if he left it alone, Qin Hanzhen felt as if he had been scratched by a cat's claw, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn't bear it!

Just when she was struggling, Zhao Mo gave her an idea: "Let's go find a better carpenter, who can do fine work, show him this jade chain, and ask him to make a pair of wood." Let's play with the wooden one first, and then we will dismantle the jade one when it is dismantled, how about it?"

Qin Hanzhen hesitated: "Can this work?"

"It should work. Zhao Mo said, "Made of wood, it is also carved out of a whole piece of wood." As long as the skills are outstanding enough, there must not be much difficulty. It's just that this jade chain is valuable, and the style is also complicated, so it is impossible to hand it over to a strange craftsman. It is better to find a place where the craftsman can live in it, and follow the jade chain. When it was done, the wages were paid directly, and then the people were released. In this way, there is no need to worry that the craftsman will be greedy for the jade chain. ”

Qin Han really thought for a while: "Our family now has a Zhuangzi, so we shouldn't be able to find a place." But where are we going to find this craftsman? We are in this capital, but we don't know anyone. Even if I ask my grandfather and grandmother, or you ask my brother, I guess it's the same. Or...... I'll go back and ask Xia Qing to help inquire? Her family was born and raised in Beijing, so she must know more than us. ”

The two were discussing, and there was a commotion in the courtyard outside, but it was Wu Shaoying who came back from Longfu Temple. The Dragon Boat Festival banquet in the Chengen Marquis Mansion originally had the meaning of celebrating Qin Baide. As Qin Bai's disciple, he naturally had to come to help.

Qin Hanzhen watched his cousin walk through the courtyard and went directly to the main house, then turned back to Zhao Mo and smiled: "Okay, someone who can help inquire about things and find someone is here." With my cousin here, what can't we do?"

Zhao Mo also smiled and said: "My cousin is right, with Mr. Wu here, it is really convenient for us to do things, and we have a little guy who runs errands outside." "That's the plum.

Li Zi unloaded the large bags and small bags in the courtyard, which were all brought over by Wu Shaoying, presumably as a congratulatory gift to the teacher Qin Bai. Qin Hanzhen glanced at it a few times, but he didn't know what was inside, so he wanted to pull Zhao Mo to the main house to ask.

Zhao Mo waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wu is back, and he must be in a hurry to see his cousin." Talk to your own family, and I won't bother. ”

Qin Han really thought about it, so he said, "When my cousin is free, I'll tell him about it." After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "My cousin has also been in the capital for a few years, and he must have a few friends. Gai Ming'er also asked him to take you to recognize people. My cousin's friends must be trustworthy, more reliable than the sons and daughters introduced by Brother Lobby, and they are not so snobbish. ”

Zhao Mo smiled dumbly, although he felt that Qin Hanzhen's suggestion was too naïve, but he felt warm in his heart. The little cousin is worried that he has no friends.

Qin Hanzhen ran into the main house, and saw that Wu Shaoying had just met Qin Bai and Niu's family, and the three of them were full of smiles on their faces, Wu Shaoying's complexion was also good, and he looked quite ruddy, so he happily saluted him, and said angrily: "Uncle cousin hasn't come back for a long time, I miss you." ”

Wu Shaoying smiled and touched her head: "Uncle Cousin should concentrate on studying." A few days ago, after the decree to knight the teacher came down, I actually came back to congratulate the teacher, but the teacher drove me back. At that time, you were not in Seifukan, so you didn't see it. But my cousin misses you too. I heard you've started school, what have you learned?"

Qin Hanzhen briefly said his homework, and Wu Shaoying said with admiration: "I have long heard that I know that the boudoir of the Chengenhou Mansion is famous, but I don't know if it is worthy of the name. After listening to you today, you know that your name is well deserved. Sister Sang, you must study hard, it is rare to have a famous teacher to teach, you can't live up to such a good blessing. ”

Qin Hanzhen agreed, and asked again: "How many days will my cousin stay in the mansion?"

Wu Shaoying hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Bai. Qin Bai said: "You still have to focus on your studies now, these interpersonal interactions, courtesies and exchanges, you have your own housekeepers, my son, nephews and nephews and daughters-in-law are also very capable, and you don't need to worry about it." Just concentrate on your studies. If you can have a good result in the spring of next year, so that I can have a second Hanlin protégé under my disciple, I will be happy in my heart. ”

Wu Shaoying smiled embarrassedly and said, "Teacher, rest assured, the students will not disappoint your expectations." ”

Qin Bai nodded with satisfaction.

Niu's was a little dissatisfied, and complained: "You always told Shaoying to study hard, and other children's children also obeyed." I have been staying in Longfu Temple for so many days, I can't eat well and live well, and I don't know how much I have suffered. Now that I finally came back to see you, you still have to urge others, where is it like a good teacher who is self-sympathetic to students? Didn't you say in the past that studying should also combine work and rest? In the past two days, the house is happy, so let Shaoying stay for two days, replenish his body, and have a good holiday by the way. When the Dragon Boat Festival is over, it will not be too late for him to go back. Now there is more than half a year before next year's spring, people call you a teacher, you can't even let people spend the holidays, right?!"

Qin Bai coughed twice, raised his eyes and looked at Wu Shaoying: "Then rest for two days, and then go back to the temple after the festival." ”

Wu Shaoying pursed her lips and smiled, and saluted respectfully: "Yes, teacher." ”

After the holiday, Wu Shaoying was also very happy in her heart, and hurriedly asked Li Zi to send the congratulatory gift in and show it to Qin Bai.

Qin Bai reprimanded again: "It's just that you come to congratulate, what kind of congratulatory gift do you give?" I know that you have some family resources, but you also have to save some. The capital is not as good as Wu Bao, you are now concentrating on preparing for the exam, not producing, and you don't know how to be thrifty, do you want to sit and eat empty?!"

Wu Shaoying smiled and said: "The teacher is angry, in fact, only one of these congratulatory gifts was given by the student. The rest were all given by Senior Brother Wang, but they were just handed over by the hands of the students. The teacher was overjoyed, and Senior Brother Wang was going to come to the door to congratulate him. It's just that the teacher didn't give him a post, he was worried that the teacher had a taboo in his heart, so he didn't dare to speak up, and entrusted the things to the students to send over. ”

Knowing that it was a congratulatory gift from Wang Fuzhong, Qin Bai's expression slowed down a little, and he sighed: "He sent it the same cost! ”

Wu Shaoying said with a smile: "In previous years, the Wang family always gave gifts to teachers during the New Year's holidays. This year, because the teacher came to the capital, the Wang family had no chance to perform, so Senior Brother Wang himself had to come forward. You don't have to worry about anything, it's the Dragon Boat Festival, isn't it common for students to give Dragon Boat Festival gifts to teachers?"

Qin Bai shook his head: "It used to be a dump, but now it'...... After all, your senior brother Wang is a messenger in front of the emperor. ”

Wu Shaoying said: "If the teacher is worried that Senior Brother Wang will commit a taboo by acting like this, he is too worried. Senior Brother Wang personally told me that the emperor knew that he was worshipping under the teacher's door, and he was a little closer to him than before. In your spare time, you often talk to him about your youth. Senior Brother Wang said that he had never seen the emperor so happy, and it must be because the teacher finally returned to the capital. ”

Qin Bai was stunned and smiled slightly. He and the emperor's brother-in-law both misunderstood each other's thoughts. How good would it have been if they had known that all their worries were misunderstandings and that they had been reunited sooner? Fortunately, it was not too late.

Thinking of this, Qin Bai hesitated for a moment before asking Wu Shaoying: "Have you met your Senior Brother Wang?

Wu Shaoying replied: "It was in the temple that Senior Brother Wang came to see me in person, but he only said that he came to the temple to worship the Buddha." He didn't say anything, just mentioned the recent situation, and talked about the emperor and the teacher. He did things in front of the emperor, and he was taboo in what he said and did, and he didn't dare to mention it more. He looked at Qin Bai, "The teacher has something to ask him?"

Qin Bai smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Wang Fuzhong has been in front of the palace for a long time, and he knows the situation in the palace better than the people outside, so I want to ask...... I have been back to Beijing these days, and I have been to the palace twice, but I have never been able to see the prince, and I feel a little uneasy. ”

"Prince?" Wu Shaoying hesitated.

Qin Bai hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Shaoying shook his head and said, "I can't say that there is any bad news. The matter of the East Palace, Senior Brother Wang almost never mentions it in front of people. It's just that I heard some rumors from others, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has improved since the beginning of spring, but the weather is getting hotter, and it seems that something is not very good, and now he has gone out of the city to escape the summer. Presumably because the crown prince is not in the East Palace, the emperor did not arrange for the teacher to meet him, right?"
