Qin Han was really a little confused.

This is not a festival or a festival, and there is no reason, how could the queen mother suddenly issue an order to summon her to see her? She is still waiting for guests at home, does she want to leave the guests and enter the palace?

Although the number of etiquette is not in agreement, but to be honest, the Queen Mother has issued an order to summon her, who can take care of what etiquette? What etiquette can surpass the royal family?

Qin Hanzhen reluctantly put down the pen and paper and washed his hands. Yu Xinlan also understood things very well, and walked over to her and said, "I'm reading here alone, it's the same." Qin San's sister go to the palace first, it is important for the queen mother to summon her. ”

Qin Hanzhen took her hand and said, "It's really rude today, please don't be surprised by Sister Yu." I'll send someone to ask my second sister to come back and accompany you. My sister is here, but if she has an order, just call her girl. Then he called "Seal", and when the little girl came, he solemnly ordered: "Wait for Miss Yu, Miss Yu has anything to ask, as long as it is something you know, you must answer it carefully, tea and snacks, pen and ink towels, everything must not be neglected." ”

Zhu'er was originally a girl arranged by Qin Bai in the study room for his eldest granddaughter, not only literate, but also clever, and hurriedly responded when he heard the words.

Qin Hanzhen said goodbye to Yu Xinlan and came to the main house in the front yard. Fortunately, they are all in a courtyard, not far away.

The queen mother sent to deliver the decree was a female official in her early forties, wearing an ochre female official uniform, her hair was combed bare, only colored flowers were pinned on her sideburns, plus a pair of silver earrings, and a jade pendant for the female official of Cining Palace hung around her waist, and there were no other accessories. She was born with clear eyebrows, dignified and kind, and seemed to be a mild-tempered person. After she came to Yongjiahou's mansion, she talked to Yongjiahou Qin Bai and Yongjiahou's wife Niu, and she was also polite, respectful and humble.

It seems that the summons of the Queen Mother this time should not be a bad thing.

Qin Hanzhen stepped forward to salute the female official. The female official bowed down one step ahead of her, and seemed to be a little more respectful than in front of Qin Bai and his wife. She explained to Qin Hanzhen that the Queen Mother was walking in the imperial garden today, and suddenly remembered a few juniors, thinking that Zhao Mo had been married by the emperor not long ago, and the object of the marriage was still the granddaughter of the Qin family she was familiar with, so she wanted to summon Qin Hanzhen to meet her. This is just an ordinary chat, let Qin Hanzhen just go to talk to the elders of his relatives' family, no need to change big gifts, no need to re-dress, just dress up like this, it's okay, no need to be restrained.

Qin Hanzhen still felt inexplicable in his heart. Their Qin family is not that familiar with the Queen Mother, right? For no reason, suddenly summoned her to see her, is it really just a whim?

Zhao Mo once mentioned in her letter that the Queen Mother originally had some ideas about his marriage, but she never picked a suitable candidate, probably because the Tu family is no longer what it used to be, although there are several girls of the right age, their background and appearance are not outstanding, and the Queen Mother is embarrassed to bring it up Zhao Mo coaxed the Queen Mother a few times, and the Queen Mother gladly accepted his marriage with Qin Hanzhen. In fact, he had already greeted the Queen Mother in front of him, and this matter was not surprising to the Queen Mother. may be compared to the crown princess Tang who once wanted to match Zhao Mo and Cai Yuanzhen, the queen mother's idea is a little simpler. Zhao Mo mentioned this matter to Qin Hanzhen in the letter in order to reassure her and tell her that she would marry in the future, and there was nothing to fear when she met the elders in the palace. And as long as the Queen Mother has no opinion, the elders in the clan will not embarrass her.

But that was a few days ago. Why did the Queen Mother suddenly pass her into the palace at this time? And the request was so strange...... If the Queen Mother is the emperor's mother-in-law, or Zhao Mo is a descendant of the royal family, it is understandable, but with Zhao Mo's current relationship with the palace and the actual identity of the Queen Mother......

Qin Han was really puzzled.

Qin Bai was very calm, he instructed his granddaughter: "You can go with Wu Siyan, remember to observe the etiquette." ”

It turned out that this female official's surname was Wu, and her job was Siyan, and she was in charge of propaganda and enlightenment, that is, the work of transmitting the decree. Qin Hanzhen vaguely remembered that when he entered the palace every year for the Spring Festival, he seemed to have seen the other party's figure in Cining Palace, but he had never dealt with each other.

Qin Hanzhen held a tea party at home today to entertain sisters and friends, which was neatly dressed, not a common attire on weekdays. Although it seems not formal enough to enter the palace like this, there is nothing to be rude. If the girl really wants to dress up, it will take a long time, and she doesn't have to ask the queen mother to wait for a long time. Qin Hanzhen thought that he had not offended the Queen Mother, Wu Siyan's attitude was also very gentle, and he was not afraid, so he said goodbye to his grandparents, and said to his grandfather by the way: "Sister Yu is still in the outer study, and please remember to tell my grandfather not to disturb her." Qin Bai smiled and nodded.

Today, in order to entertain the daughter of Shoushan Bofu, the small servants who were waiting near the outer study were removed, and the family was ordered not to approach easily, and there was a seal waiting in the study, so it was expected to be fine. There was originally a small door behind the outer study, and there was a path leading to the sandwich road, which could lead directly to the direction of the garden, which was originally to facilitate Qin Hanzhen to go back and forth between his yard and the outer study, and basically no outsiders would take this road. If there are really outsiders coming, Zhang'er can also take Yu Xinlan and retreat calmly. Qin Bai felt that this was just a trivial matter, and he didn't care about it.

Qin Hanzhen tidied up his hair and clothes a little, and then left with Wu Siyan. Considering that she might need someone to accompany her on the road, she brought Mama Wei with her, so that she could seize the last bit of time to review the court etiquette.

When she went out of the second gate, when she was waiting for the carriage to come, she happened to meet Qin Jian coming in from outside and looked at her in surprise. Qin Jian was still holding a handmade schoolbag that she had given him for his birthday last year, looking heavy, he should have just brought some books back from outside, probably to ask Qin Bai for his homework, right? Qin Hanzhen didn't have time to greet him, nodded from afar, and took Mama Wei into the carriage, and went out of the mansion with Wu Siyan, heading in the direction of the palace.

Qin Jian is also a descendant of the uncle's mansion, and since he was a child, he has not seen the female relatives of the family enter the palace to see him, and he is more familiar with Wu Siyan than Qin Hanzhen, and he smiled and gestured to Wu Siyan from a distance. He also guessed in his heart that it must be the Queen Mother who summoned the third sister to see him, but for some reason, he didn't hear the wind before, and the third sister entered the palace and wore no dress.

With doubts in his heart, he walked in the direction of the outer study. Today he went to talk to his classmates, and on the way home, he happened to visit a bookstore, and unexpectedly found a precious ancient book, but unfortunately the shopkeeper did not know the goods, and actually allowed the ancient book to be thrown in the corner to accumulate dust, and he was so distressed that he couldn't do it. He had heard the third uncle mentioned this ancient book, very precious, but unfortunately it has long been lost, after the death of the last collector known to the world, the children and grandchildren of the family are in the middle of the road, and the whereabouts of the ancient books in the collection are unknown, which makes people feel embarrassed. Unexpectedly, this ancient book would appear in front of him. He immediately took out all the pocket money he had brought with him, bought the ancient books, and brought them back with him, and he couldn't even take care of his home, so he first looked for the third uncle to appreciate it. He knew that the third uncle, Qin Bai, would pass the time in the outer study on weekdays, and he walked there all the way there today, and he didn't notice anything unusual in the mansion. It wasn't until he entered the door of the outer study that he unexpectedly found that the two little maids who had been guarding the door of the study were gone.

Maybe the third uncle and ancestor had something to do and called them into the house to do something?

This thought flashed in Qin Jian's heart, so she smiled and walked to the front of the big bookcase, carefully put down the schoolbag containing ancient books, carefully took out the ancient books, and was about to find someone, when she heard a girl talking in the northern room: "Miss Yu, this whole bookshelf, there are poetry collections on the top, the top four rows are all Tang poems, the bottom row is Song poems, and further down, there are poetry collections from the previous dynasty and this dynasty." On the bookshelf over there are Song Ci and Yuan Qu. On the shelf at the back, there are miscellaneous notes from various dynasties, which our girls like to read the most. If you're looking for a medical book, you'll have to look for it in Minamijima. A book on medicine, medicine, health and so on, all of them are there. ”

Qin Jian was stunned, and couldn't help but be stunned. Miss Yu? Could it be that Shoushanbo's daughter is here? Yes, the third sister held a tea party today, invited Miss Cai and Miss Yu to the door, and invited her sister Qin Jinhua and cousin Lu Yueniang to accompany her. When he went out in the morning, he heard his sister mention it happily. At that time, his mother Yao was still a little nervous and wanted to find an excuse to come over, but he persuaded him again and again, and then he dispelled the idea. Could it be that the tea party was not held in the garden? Or was he so unlucky that he happened to bump into the third sister when he invited Miss Yu to the outer study to appreciate the third uncle's ancestral collection?

Even if Qin Jian decided to quit, he picked up the ancient books and put them back in his schoolbag, and Zhu'er came out of the northern room: "Miss Yu, please come with me." Bumped into Qin Jian head-on, and the little girl suddenly widened her round eyes: "Young Master, why are you here?"

Yu Xinlan followed behind her, and when she saw this, she also showed surprise, and hurriedly took a step back and lowered her head sideways.

Qin Jian replied embarrassedly: "I came to look for the third uncle, I didn't see anyone, and I thought that his old man was in the middle." ”

Zhu'er hurriedly said: "Our Hou Ye is in the main house." Someone came to the palace to summon the girl into the palace, and the marquis and his wife were in the main house to entertain the palace envoys. ”

Qin Jian almost wanted to give his head a blow, how could he not have thought of such a simple fact? There was someone in the palace, how could Qin Bai still sit calmly in the outer study? The third uncle and ancestor of his old man had always been a person who kept etiquette, and he would never take it big in front of the envoys sent by the nobles in the palace.

He couldn't help but glance at Yu Xinlan's silhouette, his face suddenly turned red, he hurriedly lowered his head, didn't dare to look at it again, and saluted her obliquely: "It's a certain faux pas, it's abrupt Miss, please don't blame Miss." So-and-so quit it. After that, he lowered his head in embarrassment, took his schoolbag and was about to leave.

Yu Xinlan's eyes were sharp, and she saw the cover of the ancient book he was holding in his arms: "Huh, that's not ......" There was surprise in her eyes. 2k reading web
