Pei Yin knew a little bit about Qin Hanzhen.

The Qin family of the Chengen Marquis Mansion, the maiden family of the emperor's only empress Qin. Although he has no real position, he has even lost the military power passed down from his ancestors, and Qin Song, the Marquis of Chengen, has also lost his holy family and has almost become an invisible person, but the people in the capital still can't ignore the existence of his family. Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, the Chengenhou Mansion is his only uncle, who can ignore the future Son of Heaven's maternal uncle? Therefore, even if Qin Jinhua's father's official position is very low, Pei Yin still gets along with her affectionately and will never give her the slightest look.

What about Qin Jinhua's father's low official position? Pei Yin's own father's official position is not high. She once heard her mother and the people around her discuss in private, saying that although the emperor was close to his wife's family, he was clearly unwilling to let his wife's family hold power, and he also used the Qin family as a raft to prevent other relatives from holding real power. Therefore, the official position of the Qin family cannot be high, and Qin Zhonghai has not moved his position for more than ten years. In contrast, although Pei Yin's father and uncles can't be promoted, it's because of their own mediocre relationship, not suppressed, it's much better than the Qin family who are talented but can't be promoted.

However, since Yongjiahou Qin Bai returned to Beijing, this situation has been broken. The Chengenhou Mansion was respected in the past because of the prince, and now it is respected because of the prince and Yongjiahou Qin Bai. The emperor suddenly stopped seeing his brother-in-law, but he trusted his brother-in-law. The Qin family doesn't cause trouble, but if anyone dares to underestimate them, it will definitely not end well. Qin Jinhua's father's career, which had been stagnant for more than ten years, suddenly made progress, and he was actually promoted! Qin Jian also successfully obtained the meritorious examination. Whether Qin Song was rejected by the emperor or not, no one has mentioned it anymore. Everyone knows that whether Qin Song is good or bad, it can't affect the Qin family, because there is still a Qin Bai here.

Yongjia Hou Qin Bai, who has such a light status, Qin Hanzhen is his eldest granddaughter, and she grew up beside him since she was a child and is deeply loved. She is also the person Pei Yin knows she needs to befriend, but Qin Hanzhen often goes far away and is not in Beijing, she has a heart to make friends and has no chance. But it doesn't matter, it's impossible for Qin Hanzhen not to go home all the time, there will always be a time for them to meet.

Pei Yin inquired about Qin Hanzhen's news and knew that she grew up in the northwest countryside with her grandparents and her biological mother who died early. And Qin Hanzhen's grandmother, Mrs. Yongjiahou, Niu, is a well-known country woman in the capital, it is said that she was born as a merchant girl, she doesn't know a few big characters, and her temperament is a little rude, if it weren't for his father's kindness to the old marquis of the Qin family, he had already set up a family affair before the Qin family was rehabilitated, and Yongjiahou Qin Bai was a trustworthy person, and he would never be blessed to marry into the Qin family. It is rumored that she also fought with her concubine Qin's second wife, Xue, and she doesn't have the demeanor of a wealthy lady at all, and her temperament is also withdrawn, so she doesn't go out to interact with people much.

Qin San, who was raised by such a grandmother, could be an elegant lady who was well-read and courteous? Although Yongjiahou was known for his talent, he became famous when he was young, and now he rarely appears in front of people, so who will investigate whether the reputation of a talented person is true or false? Moreover, the girl was raised by her grandmother, not by her grandfather. How many officials in this dynasty were born in the imperial examinations and were outstanding in their own learning, but the daughters or granddaughters of the family did not know a few big characters? Even if Qin Hanzhen had been studying with his grandfather Qin Bai, he might not have really learned anything, and most of them were straw bales, right? If he could have the level of Zhang Shu, it would be rare.

According to Qin Jinhua's accidental mention in the previous conversation, he said that Qin Hanzhen is a bitter hand in poetry, and his poems are similar to limerick poems, and sometimes he will make the wrong rhyme, and he is not able to understand it, only he is good at painting, and the rest of his talents are completely foolish.

Although this was already information from a few years ago, it matched the information that Pei Yin had learned. Therefore, in her mind, she has always equated Qin Hanzhen with Zhang Shu and Qin Jinhua, and in front of others, she also proposed not to embarrass Qin Hanzhen, a new member of the poetry society. She has always only regarded Cai Yuanzhen and Yu Xinlan as opponents, and Tang Su, Zhang Shu and Qin Jinhua have never been taken seriously by her. Among them, Yu Xinlan can arouse her heart of victory and defeat the most. If Cai Yuanzhen wins, she doesn't care at all. But if Yu Xinlan wins, she will be uncomfortable for several days, and she will definitely do her best to suppress people when she returns to the poetry meeting, although most of them fail.

Although there is still a little selfishness on Pei Yin's part, she really has never regarded Qin Hanzhen as an opponent. Unexpectedly, in today's poetry meeting, her poems lost to Cai Yuanzhen and Yu Xinlan, and compared with the people in the back, there was no obvious distance;

If she just lost to Yu Xinlan and Cai Yuanzhen, then it's okay, it's not the first time anyway. But...... Losing to Qin Hanzhen and losing to a little girl who grew up in the countryside in the northwest and was raised by a village woman and grandmother since she was a child? Pei Yin felt that she couldn't get her face down no matter what, and her face was hot and embarrassed.

After the end of the painting competition, Pei Yin has been in a state of displeasure and dissatisfaction, but she refuses to tell the truth, so obvious that all the ladies have noticed something wrong. Cai Yuanzhen once asked her softly in a private voice what was wrong? Is she not feeling well? She smiled and shook her head calmly, saying that she had worked hard to compose poetry and painting, and she was just a little tired, but she didn't know how stiff and fake the smile on her face was, so that everyone could see that her words were insincere.

The scene is a little embarrassing, those who are familiar with Pei Yin will know that her personality is actually very strong, and her mind is slender and sensitive, probably because she lost poetry and painting to others, or Yu Xinlan, who she has never been convinced, so she is angry. Everyone secretly went to look at Yu Xinlan, who was as calm as ever, as if he didn't notice it at all, so everyone simply pretended to be stupid and didn't pick on this. It's just that in this way, the scene seems deserted. Cai Yuanzhen worked hard to comment on Qin Jinhua's progress in piano skills, and pulled others to discuss the hard work of learning the piano, so that the situation could be maintained.

It didn't take long for someone to come to the banquet in front of him, urging all the girls to go back to the banquet, and Cai Yuanzhen was able to get out.

Qin Hanzhen went to the front banquet with all the ladies, still sitting with the little girls. Grandmother Niu didn't come today, it was the second uncle Yao who took her and Qin Jinhua out, and the male guests were represented by Qin Zhonghai and Qin Jian's father and son. Yao sat in the banquet of the wives and wives, and was some distance away from his daughter and niece, and during the banquet, he kept looking over frequently to confirm that Qin Jinhua was safe.

The spring banquet was naturally peaceful, except for Princess Ninghua, who was very enthusiastic about wanting to participate in the conversation with other noble ladies, but was ignored one after another, so her expression was a little stiff, and there was no incongruous episode. The weather is very good, the scenery of Qiyuan is very beautiful, the maids of the Cai family are delicate and elegant, diligent and clever, the dishes are also very rich, the taste is very beautiful, the other guests are polite, and no one will have disputes with people on such occasions without eyes. It can be said that this year's spring banquet in Pingyang Houfu ended very successfully.

After the banquet was dismissed, Qin Hanzhen went home with Qin Jinhua, and the parents and brothers of the followers went home together. She still remembered the news that Cai Yuanzhen told her, when she arrived at the Yongjiahou Mansion, she called her brother Qin Jian over and accompanied her into the house.

Then she told Qin Jian the news revealed by Cai Yuanzhen, and said, "Does the eldest brother want to tell the little uncle about this? Luggage or something, you have to pack it when it's time to pack it. I estimate that it is very likely that he will go to Datong, and it just so happens that Datong is going to transfer people to Beijing, and if he wants to fill the vacant vacancy of others, then the time to take up the post will not be too long. ”

Qin Jian groaned: "It's not strange that my little uncle is Datong, I remember that he once asked my father to help with the officials and soldiers, just wanted to go to Datong, but there was no suitable position for him at that time." If this time, he can really be transferred to Datong, but he will realize his wish in advance. It's just that the Marquis of Zhenxi is very sick now, even if the emperor orders to send his little uncle to the northwest, he can't force his son to go far away. The emperor has already punished the nephew of the Marquis of Yunyang, but he didn't mention the matter of the little uncle, so he is probably also concerned about this, right?"

That's right. The character of Hou Keng's son in Zhenxi will not collapse, when Su Zhongying will be able to get his wish come true, it really depends on his luck.

In the following days, there was reassuring good news from Zhenxi Hou Mansion. Zhenxihou's condition finally improved significantly under the rejuvenation of the imperial doctors, and all that remained was to heal the old patients and recuperate in bed. This may be bad news for Zhenxi Hou, who was born as a military general, but for Su Zhongying, who has always had the heart to go out, he can finally sigh and say that he doesn't have to wait in front of his father's hospital bed and can rest assured to serve the imperial court.

The will for the transfer soon came down. Just as Qin Hanzhen and the others expected in advance, Su Zhongying was sent to Datong. Before that, the emperor issued a holy decree to transfer General Ma to Beijing. General Ma took two subordinates by the way, one is Qin An, and the other is a higher rank than Qin An, a fourth-rank military attaché, both of whom have served under General Ma for many years. After General Ma was about to enter Beijing to take control of the camp in western Beijing, he asked them to be his deputy. And what Su Zhongying wants to make up for is the lack of the fourth-grade military attaché.

Although he was transferred to the northern border city, Su Zhongying's rank was upgraded by two levels, and it was difficult to say whether he was being punished or rewarded. Recently, because of all kinds of gossip, Zhenxihou's situation has been a little difficult, and Su Zhongying and the Qin family have also suffered from the disaster of pond fish. Someone was transferred from Su Zhongying to the border city, but no one from the two marquis mansions of the Qin family entered Beijing to intercede for him, and it was deduced that the Marquis of Cheng'en and the Marquis of Yongjia had lost their power and were no longer valued by the emperor and the crown prince, so they couldn't even do such a trivial matter......

- actually dragged the Qin family into the water.

In the face of such discussions, the Chengenhou Mansion was indignant, but the Yongjiahou Mansion was calm. Qin Hanzhen said to his grandmother Niu: "The mouth grows on others, where can we stop others from thinking? Only a fool would believe that, grandmother, what smart man do you think would really snub your grandfather and you?"

Niu's anger disappeared a little: "Of course smart people will not be so blind." Forget it, I'm just afraid that Master Hou and you will be wronged outside. Actually, I don't really care what people outside say about me. ”

She picked up a post at hand: "The long house just sent over, saying that the day of our family's Spring Banquet will be postponed, and we will wait until the weather is warmer, and then the prince and the princess can also come and visit if they are interested." She smiled as she spoke, "Your second aunt is a smart person, if the crown prince and the crown princess really show their faces at our Qin family's spring banquet, who would think that our Qin family has lost power?"
