Qin Hanzhen left his stepmother Cai Shengnan's side, and originally wanted to go back to his own courtyard directly. During this time, the weather became warmer, the flowers in the courtyard were blooming, and the scenery was just right, she and Zhao Mo had already moved back to the courtyard to live.

It's just that when I go back at this time, I don't have much to do. Zhao Mo entered the palace today, and he won't come back for lunch, Zhao Qi is still on Xiao Feng's side, reading and practicing calligraphy with Qin Hanzhu and Qin Qian. Qin Han really thought about it, and planned to go to the East Mansion to take a look at Yu Xinlan. When he saw her the day before yesterday, Qin Hanzhen found that her face was not very good, and she seemed to be a little unwell. I don't know if it's better now.

Qin Hanzhen diverted to the Chengenhou Mansion in the east. She is a person who often comes and goes, and she is the aunt and grandmother of the family who is married, and the subordinates of the Chengenhou Mansion are also very calm when they see her coming, and they are all smiling, and they come forward to say hello diligently, some people go to report to Yao's and Yu Xinlan, and some people take the initiative to tell her where her cousin Qin Jian is today, how is Xu's condition, and Xu Xiu, the second grandmother of the Gui family, came to the door today. This is the second time Xu Xiu has come to the door to deliver a message for Xu and Xu Zheng. Hoping that her letter is really effective, Xu is no longer like before, threatening his children and grandchildren with not drinking medicine, and he has to go back to his parents' house to support his deceased brother's funeral.

The subordinate who took the initiative to provide the news acted in a very timely manner. Qin Hanzhen had just heard her say that Xu Xiu came to the door, and saw Xu Xiu coming from the fork in the road on the other side, obviously going straight to the direction of Songfeng Hall from the direction of the gate. And Qin Han really came through the side door, and if he wanted to go to Fuguiju, he naturally had to pass by the aisle to the west of Songfeng Hall, and the two met like this.

However, Qin Hanzhen didn't have any need to avoid Xu Xiu's thoughts, and when he met him head-on, he smiled and nodded, it was a greeting, and he didn't have to ask the other party to give her a big salute, which was already very face-giving to relatives, mainly referring to Xu and Qin Zhonghai. However, Xu Xiu is estimated to have married into a high-ranking official's family, and the rules and etiquette are very particular, no matter whether Qin Hanzhen behaves kindly or not, she has followed the rules and saluted Qin Hanzhen.

Of course, Qin Hanzhen would not embarrass her, so he politely said two clichés and continued to walk forward. Although he noticed that Xu Xiu's expression was haggard and she had lost a little weight, Qin Hanzhen still didn't glance at her out of the corner of her eyes. Regardless of whether Xu Xiu had actively or passively blocked the Qin family before, now that she is married, there are not many opportunities to meet her, and there will be no more opportunities to cause trouble for the Qin family, so Qin Han really has no plans to do much.

Speaking of which, their group of girls of the same age, cousins, cousins or girlfriends, who are more familiar with each other, have all married each other, only Qin Jinchun is about to leave the cabinet, Cai Yuanzhen's marriage is unknown, and the eldest lady Pei Yin, who has eyes above the top but has a bad temper, has just been filial piety, and I don't know if I started to say kiss.

Qin Hanzhen has a bad relationship with Pei Yin, and he is not interested in caring about Qin Jinyi's sister-in-law, that is, Cai Yuanzhen, who has not followed up so far, which is a pity. Cai Yuanzhen is now seventeen or eighteen years old, even if the Cai family has always had a tradition of marrying late and marrying late, at this age, it is time to say goodbye, but she has not moved, and she doesn't know how her family plans it.

The Yunyang Hou Mansion is now in full swing, and it is not as oppressed by Chu Zhengfang as before, and it is time to swallow his anger due to the influence of the crown princess. Even if there is no suitable candidate within the capital, is there no one outside the capital? Besides, Yu Shizi of Shoushan Bofu, Enke High School Tanhua, has outstanding talents, and it seems that there is no marriage match......

Qin Hanzhen sighed secretly, remembering that when Fang Cai's stepmother Cai Shengnan was chatting with her, she inadvertently mentioned that she had probed Mrs. Yunyang Hou before, and it seemed that she needed to help find a marriage candidate for her niece Cai Yuanzhen among the royal children of the clan, but Mrs. Yunyang Hou politely refused at that time. Cai Shengnan was still a little puzzled in his heart, and then went home and thought about it, and felt that Yunyang Hou should think that his family was in the limelight now, and the one who was rushing up at this time may not be a reliable person, and it was better to pick a suitable offspring in the army, so he planned to pick someone slowly and carefully, and he was not in a hurry, so he didn't mention it again.

Cai Shengnan's conjecture also has her truth, but Qin Hanzhen remembered Cai Yuanzhen's gentle and generous temperament and outstanding literary and talent qualities, if it was simply matched with a general, it would be a pity. Of course, the matter of marriage, like a person drinking water, knows whether he is warm or cold. Cai Yuanzhen has always been assertive, and she must have her own ideas about her marriage. Qin Hanzhen, as a friend, couldn't interfere or influence her anything, so he could only bless her silently.

Qin Hanzhen had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and walked unhurriedly in the direction of Fuguiju.

She didn't pay attention to Xu Xiu in her mind, but she didn't know that Xu Xiu had quietly paid attention to her for a while, until she saw her back disappear outside the aisle door, and then she withdrew her gaze.

When they met for the first time, Xu Xiu would never have thought that the "country girl who didn't read much" that he had quietly despised in his heart would become the princess of the clan who is now high, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and walked in front of him with a thousand demeanors. Qin Hanzhen probably didn't feel that his attitude was arrogant, and he also had the etiquette he should have, but sometimes, if he didn't care or cared, it meant arrogance. In Qin Hanzhen's eyes, Xu Zheng was no longer a person worthy of her extra attention, so she could smile and speak without care, say hello, and then walk calmly without the slightest intention of stopping to talk to her.

Xu Xiu couldn't help but feel sad in her heart. Qin Bai, the third master of Qin, who was once not taken seriously by the Xu family, is now the Yongjiahou who even needs to look up to her in-law's Gui Shilang Mansion; Qin Hanzhen, a country girl who was once ridiculed by their sisters in private, is now also a noble princess of Suning County; Qin Jian, a cousin who was once regarded by everyone as far inferior to his brother Xu Zheng, is now a serious second-class jinshi, while his brother Xu Zheng is far behind Qin Jian in the examination, and now he has missed the Enke Palace examination, and he has to take the exam again in two years; What has become of the Xu family, which is in the eyes of "relatives"?

But after a few years of hard work, things are not people. God is so good at playing tricks on people.

Xu Xiu touched his face, but after a few days, he was already a lot haggard. She was only nineteen years old this year, and her state of mind was as old as that of a thirty-nine-year-old woman. There was a fog ahead, and there was no end in sight, but she still had to bite the bullet and continue to survive. Such days are chosen by herself......

The girl from Songfeng Hall greeted her, and looked at her with a slight frown between her eyebrows: "Why is Second Grandma Gui standing here? Our lady has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xu Xiu can detect that this girl's attitude towards herself is not very kind - this may be because after marrying into the Gui family, the days of observing faces and emotions have passed for a long time, and the new experience has developed the ability - but the girl next to her aunt and grandmother Xu's family, most of them have no good face towards the people in Xu's family's room, and such an attitude is just ordinary. Xu Xiu didn't take it to heart, casually answered a few words from the girl, and walked into Songfeng Hall.

Xu Shi was very happy to see Xu Xiu coming, and a smile suddenly appeared on his pale face: "Why are you alone?"

Xu Xiu suppressed the bitterness in her heart, stepped forward to salute, and replied, "The second master went to the Ministry of Officials today, so he can't accompany me." I said, "It's the same for me to come myself." My aunt's house is not outside. ”

Xu nodded: "That's true." Although Gui's son-in-law treats you well, you can't call him everywhere. Affection should be used on the blade, and you should show your virtuous and sensible more on weekdays, so that he can read your goodness. In this way, when you need to use him, he will be willing to help you. She sighed, "The Gui family is polite, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are also kind, and your grandfather's funeral, Gui's son-in-law also helped." You are a continuation, and it will not be easy for Gui's son-in-law to do this. Although I was dissatisfied with your parents choosing such a family business for you, but now that I think about it, there is really nothing to find fault with this family business except for the continuation of the string. Son-in-law Gui is indeed a good candidate. ”

Xu Xiu's heart became even more bitter. What does she want to say? The Gui family does talk about the rules of etiquette everywhere, and the funeral of Master Xu, the second son of Gui also came according to the number of etiquette, the condolences that should be condoled, and the help who should be greeted are not particularly courteous, but the responsibility of the grandson-in-law has been fulfilled, and he has done his duty. But in private, when husband and wife get along, he is indescribably cold to her. She knew that it was because of her father's lack of business that he had a bad opinion of her. But he didn't even want to listen to her defense, she deliberately did something low, wanted to coax him back, and he always had no intention of accepting it lightly and at all. With the help of her filial piety, he also moved directly into the study......

If he was only like this during her filial piety, then it would be fine, but what if he wasn't? What if he was completely disgusted with her? They were just newly married, and she had so much life to live. How will she get along with him in the future?

But Xu Xiu didn't dare to complain about anything at her in-law's house. She saw the little brother-in-law's gaze on her, as if he knew everything. She still remembered that when Lu Chuliang told her about the Gui family, he mentioned that he was friendly with the fourth child of the Gui family...... If Gui Xiaosi knows the truth about the first encounter at the Lantern Festival, once he tells the truth in front of his family, Xu Xiu will really have no dignity left in front of her in-laws and husband.

Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu are weak for their official duties, and now they only have good things to say about this son-in-law, and they have to tell Xu Xiu every time they meet, so that they can have a husband and teach their children, and don't let their husbands be picky. When Xu Xiu saw them like this, no matter how many grievances he had in his heart, he couldn't say it. Now that the Xu family has opened his mouth to praise the second son of Gui, what else can Xu Xiu do besides forcing a smile?

Xu Xiu reluctantly smiled and told Xu: "The second master is seeking to be released, and my father-in-law has also picked a good place for him, which is in Huzhou." My mother-in-law asked me to accompany my second master to the post, and I set off in May. ”

Xu Shi was taken aback: "Huzhou? I remember that there are a few old acquaintances in Huzhou in Xifu, and I will ask you when I go back to see if I can bring a letter to it, and someone can take care of it." Gui's son-in-law is just down, it's a good thing that you can follow. Although you have filial piety now, you can't be separated from your husband for several years because of this. Take advantage of this opportunity, you don't have to stay at home to make rules for your mother-in-law, you have to seize the opportunity to get pregnant and give birth to a son, and capture the heart of Gui's son-in-law. If you can accumulate more contacts outside, you will be able to help your mother's family in the future. It's a pity that it's in Huzhou, and it's even better if it's in Jinling......"

Xu Xiu forcibly suppressed a stream of tears. She couldn't tell the Xu family that the reason why the second son of Gui chose to go to Huzhou was because his Yuan wife's maiden father had served as the prefect of Huzhou and lived there for six years, and what he loved most was the scenery of Huzhou. He followed in the footsteps of his deceased wife before her death, and there was nothing to do with her, the current wife.

But Xu Xiu couldn't say anything, and had to smile at Xu: "Your words, my nephews and daughters have all remembered them." Don't worry!"
