Qin Hanzhen knew that his current behavior might be a little obscene. Eavesdropping or anything is definitely not something a decent person should do.

But...... The current situation in Zhenxi Hou Mansion is very delicate. Zhenxi Hou's position is unclear, Qin Hanzhen, as an insider, feels that since he has bumped into it, he has the responsibility to find out what the hell is going on in Zhenxi Hou's Mansion. Even if it's just the marriage-related matters of Zhenxihou's granddaughter, it may be helpful for her to listen to the news. For the sake of the big picture, eavesdropping is eavesdropping, as long as no one finds out.

This is definitely not because Zhao Shuo, the prince of Liao, and the Marquis of Zhenxi plan to promote the marriage between Zhao Mo and Miss Su.

Qin Hanzhen quickly observed where she was, as long as the two girls of the Su family didn't move, they shouldn't have seen her here. She even noticed the position of her own light and shadow, and quickly glanced around to make sure that no maid passed by and dismantled herself. She also moved her steps very carefully, avoiding accidentally stepping on fallen branches and other things, revealing her whereabouts, and even her movements were changed, so that when someone came, she could immediately pretend that she had just come out of the changing place, and hide from the world.

Then she was relieved to start eavesdropping.

Facing her sister's questioning, Miss Su was silent for a while before she whispered, "I'm not talking to strangers, I'm ...... I met Cousin Qi. Do you remember? When we went to Wuchang to visit my grandfather the year before last, we went to her mother's house with my aunt to play and met several of her nephews and nieces, nieces and nephews. Last year, he also came to Chengdu to play and climbed Qingcheng Mountain with us. ”

The second girl quickly remembered this person: "Is it him? Why did he come to the capital? He came to our house to visit his mother?"

Qin Hanzhen shook his head when he saw the shadow of Miss Su: "No, he just passed by our door, saw me open the door and came out, and thought he recognized the wrong person, so he called me." I only exchanged a few words with him in the alley, and invited him to sit at home. But he didn't agree, saying that he had already made an appointment with someone to visit someone else's house, and he would have the opportunity to visit him again in the future. What's the point of just a few pleasantries? How can people see gossiping? Even if my grandmother asked, I had a clear conscience. ”

Second Miss Su sneered: "Sister really has a clear conscience? Don't think I don't know." When you were in Wuchang, this person was very attentive to you. There are so many nieces and nephews of his aunt, and he went to Chengdu to play afterwards. He is not from Wuchang, and it sounds like his home is not close to Wuchang, and he even walked more than 2,000 miles along the Yangtze River, just to climb Qingcheng Mountain and pay homage to the Wuhou Temple? When his aunt saw him coming, she was so surprised that she urged him to leave almost every day, as if he had done something wrong. Sister, it's not my sister who is talking behind her back, just looking at your aunt's attitude, you should also know that the Qi family is not a big family, and it is too far away from us to match. ”

Miss Su's tone was a little stiff: "How do you know that the Qi family must not be a big family? When I was in Wuchang, didn't everyone treat my cousin Qi very politely and cordially? Who ever disliked him? The Liang family is also a family of eunuchs, a prominent family in Wuchang, and since Cousin Qi is the son of my aunt's sisters, he will not be an unknown person. He just didn't show off his family background. ”

The second girl Su disagreed: "What if the Liang family is a family of eunuchs? If it weren't for my grandfather who became the governor of Huguang and needed to make friends with famous families in Huguang, the daughter of the Liang family would not be our aunt." But the Liang family is already a little degraded, and the daughter of his family who is the most beautiful one is not the concubine of the King of Jin? In the final analysis, she is just a concubine, and although the two sons born are both crowned county kings, the fiefdom is not rich, and in the future it will only be a mixture of food and waiting for death. The other daughters of the Liang family are all married to ordinary eunuchs or scholarly families, and I have not heard of any Wang family with the surname Qi who is related to his family. This cousin Qi always vaguely refuses to say anything about his own county prestige, if he says that his family background is decent, what is there to hide from others? The Liang family is kind, treats his grandson better, and does not dislike it because of his family background, and there is nothing surprising about it. ”

Miss Su fell silent. Seeing this, her sister softened her tone: "Sister, in fact, I don't underestimate the Qi family, I just think that my sister is no longer as good as when she was a child. Cousin Qi has a relationship with us, and he is also a foreign man, and his sister is still far away from him. For example, if you meet him today, you can ask the porter to come out to greet him, or directly invite him to come home as a guest in the future, and then turn around and leave, why do you still stay where you are and greet him? Even if you are embarrassed to leave him alone, you can let the girl greet him on your behalf!"

Miss Su was silent for a moment before she said, "I was so surprised at the time that I didn't think about it." ”

"That sister can't do it again in the future!" Second Miss Su was still thinking about it, "After all, you shouldn't have gone out early today, and you only brought a girl to come out." I know that my sister is now upset about the matter between my grandmother and my mother, and I don't want to listen to my grandmother's nagging anymore. But Beijing is not as good as Chengdu, and Zhenxi Hou Mansion is not as good as the Governor's Mansion. We grew up in our maternal grandparents, so we could do whatever we wanted, and our grandmothers and uncles spoiled us. But in the Hou Mansion, the grandfather was strict, and the grandmother also respected the rules, because the mother did not give birth to a son, and she had been recuperating at her mother's house, she always had some confidence to speak. Originally, they could have been peaceful, but their mother was tired of making rules, just because their father and mother were more optimistic about Cheng Enhou's eldest grandson as a son-in-law, but his grandfather felt that the king of Suning County was better, and he told the king of Suning County to know his father's and mother's thoughts, and politely refused his grandfather's invitation to marry. Suning Junwang's little chicken belly, let's not care. At this time, if my sister behaves out of line again, my grandmother will only think that my mother has not raised us well. ”

Miss Su's voice was a little lower: "Grandfather has fought all his life, can he know how to choose a husband for our sisters? But Qi Da is not a coincidence, where is the king of the clan and the county that can be matched by an ordinary girl? The grandfather is just wishful thinking, and people have no intention of agreeing, is it possible...... Mother always told us that she didn't want us to marry into a big family, but that we could live a peaceful and happy life. My father agreed with my mother. The matter of marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Even grandfathers and grandmothers can't do anything else. ”

The second girl Su gasped, and her tone was a little anxious: "Sister is confused? Can you say this? If you let your grandfather and grandmother hear it, you can still have good fruit to eat? I'm afraid that my grandfather's whip will come down! The capital is my grandfather's house, not my grandfather's house, and my grandfather treats us as kindly as my grandfather! If we let my grandmother misunderstand that this is what our mother taught us, it will be even worse! She will definitely say that her mother is not filial, and the granddaughter she instigated is also disobedient to her elder. ”

Miss Su was silent. After a while, Second Miss Su said again: "I know what my sister is thinking, but I'm afraid that I also like that cousin Qi." But you also think about it, although he is kind and courteous to you, and he doesn't look unintentional, but he refuses to come to the door to propose marriage, what's the use of wanting more? He doesn't even want to make it clear what kind of county he is, and no matter how much you have a heart, I'm afraid it's limited. My sister used to refuse to tell me anything about her thoughts, so I didn't know anything. Now that I know, I'm going to find out with my mother. If in a few days, this cousin Qi really comes to visit our house, let his mother hint at him. If he is a caring person, he will ask his elders to come forward to propose. Regardless of whether my grandfather would agree or not, I could let my grandfather and grandmother know that he was not an unknown person. How's my sister going?"

Miss Su was silent for a long time before she whispered softly: "Please, sister, I'm ...... I don't know how to thank you. ”

Second Miss Su smiled: "You and my fellow sisters, what are you doing with these foreign words?"

The two Su girls left hand in hand, and Qin Hanzhen straightened up under the wall on the other side of the corner at this time, secretly relieved.

She didn't think much about it, and hurriedly hurried back to the seat. After all, it's been a long time since I've been away, and although I'm going to change clothes, there is a valid reason, but it's easy to make people laugh after going for a long time.

Fortunately, when she returned to the banquet, the little girls were having a lot of fun, only Cai Yuanzhen took the time to come back and ask her: "Sister, do you feel unwell?" I guess I thought she had diarrhea, right?

Qin Hanzhen could only answer with a dry smile: "I'm fine, it's just that I can't recognize the road clearly, and I sent the little girl who led the way away early, so it took some effort to find it back." ”

Cai Yuanzhen probably regarded Qin Hanzhen as a road idiot, and showed a loving smile at her: "Sister, let's keep someone to guide the way in the future." ”

What else could Qin Hanzhen say besides continuing to smile back?

Cai Yuanzhen walked away again, and a girl came forward to refill Qin Hanzhen's hot tea. Qin Hanzhen saw that the dishes were cold, so he only picked two pieces of freshly served dim sum and ate them, and then slowly tasted the tea, while thinking back to what he had just heard, and began to ponder.

She originally thought that the "seventh cousin" that Miss Su met was some relative of Zhenxi Hou Mansion, but now it seems that the man should be surnamed "Qi", line three, not line seven. This person is the son of the sister-in-law of the Bian family or the maiden sister of the younger sister Liang of the wife of the Hou Shizi of Zhenxi, and the Liang family is the Wuchang Wang family, some of them have fallen, and there was a daughter who married the King of Jin as a side concubine, which is estimated to be the biological mother of the King of Ninghua and the King of Guangchang, Liang Side Concubine. This third son of Qi has traveled with the Su sisters twice in Wuchang and Chengdu, and has a good relationship with the Su girl. Miss Su has a hidden affection, and the third son of Qi also seems to have a love for her.

Qi Sangongzi came to the capital, met Miss Su outside the Xihou Mansion in Yangwei Hutong Town, and talked a few words, saying that he was just passing by, and he would have the opportunity to visit again in the future.

Qin Hanzhen felt that this statement was a bit problematic. She clearly saw that the third prince of Qi had been staring at the direction of the Zhuguo General's Mansion, that is, the direction of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion. Did he really meet Miss Su by accident, or was he waiting for her there? Also, what does it mean to have the opportunity to come to visit again in the future? This statement is also insincere. has met the people of the Su family, can't he make an appointment with someone to come to the door?

Moreover, since he is a relative of the Bian family, why is he unwilling to explain his family background to the Su family sisters? Could it be that there is something wrong with his identity?

Qin Hanzhen still remembers that the king of Guangchang happened to go to Beijing secretly, his name was Zhao Zhu, and he was close to Qi Yin, and he happened to be the third among the brothers, and his biological mother and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bian family, the governor of Huguang, were sisters-in-law. Everything can get along, aren't these two really the same person?
