Chapter 162: Invitation

Whether it is twenty-seven months or twenty-five months, Qin Hanzhen himself can't say, this mainly depends on the customs and habits of various places, the capital is basically guarding for twenty-seven months, but the northwest side seems to be twenty-five months. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But there is one thing she is very sure of, mother's filial piety has to be kept for a long time. Grandfather Qin Bai told her the content of the "Three Character Classic", and it was very clear in the section of "Five Clothes".

Niu explained to her, according to the ancient etiquette, regardless of the father's filial piety and mother's filial piety, it was necessary to keep it for three years, that is, about twenty-seven months, but when the dynasty was founded, the imperial court had revised the law, which mentioned that there was an article, that is, if the father is still alive and the mother dies first, the children only need to keep filial piety for one year, but if the mother dies, the father is already gone, then it has to be honestly kept for three years. This new rule, when it was first introduced, there were also people who criticized, many readers directly ignored it, and still kept the filial piety of the mother for three years in private, but after a year of hot filial piety, some changes were made, only in private to abide by the rules of filial piety, but not to the public. The imperial court can't control this kind of thing.

The Qin family now leads the title of the imperial court, and the children and grandchildren of the family are officials in the court, so it is naturally impossible to ignore the laws of the imperial court. Therefore, if Qin Hanzhen is still in the northwest, Qin Bai is still a mere teacher, she has been guarding for three years, and no one will say that she is not, but will praise her for her filial piety. But now that Qin Bai has become the Marquis of Yongjia, his granddaughter cannot openly disobey the laws of the imperial court, and the filial piety that was originally to be kept for three years will also be removed after the first year.

Niu persuaded Qin Hanzhen and said: "It's nothing. You're still young, so you don't have to go out on weekdays. Dress up and eat or something, just come according to your habits, eat lighter, dress lightly, who cares about you? It's just that I think that at your age, it's the time to grow up, and you can't just eat vegetarian food. Since you entered Beijing, your body has been slightly better, and you have quit meat. I know that you are filial to your mother and want to keep filial piety for her, but I am afraid that your body will not be able to stand it. It's hot now, and in the autumn and winter, if you still refuse to eat something that can replenish your body, I'm afraid you'll fall ill again. Since you knocked your head last year, you fell seriously ill, and your body has hurt your vitality. Don't look at the people who look at everyone on weekdays, it is definitely not as healthy and strong as ordinary children. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "So that's the case." Since there are laws and regulations in the imperial court, then I naturally have to be a law-abiding person. "Seriously, if she wasn't afraid of other people's gossip, she wouldn't ask for hardship, she only ate vegetarian and didn't eat meat. Fortunately, her grandfather and grandmother are not very strict people, and they have always loved her, and when she was not in good health, they took the initiative to persuade her to eat some meat, all kinds of meat, milk, fish and balls, otherwise she would not get better so quickly. Now that she doesn't have to follow these rules, she is happy.

In order to show that she was not very happy about this change, she was still a good child who was very filial and polite, Qin Hanzhen also said a little fakely: "This is all for outsiders to see, I better eat lightly in private." In addition to the nutritious food that the body needs, there is no need to make any big fish and meat. Also, I wear cotton clothes quite comfortably, and I don't have to think about any silk or satin, embroidered silk or anything like that. I don't go out again, so it's good to dress comfortably at home. I also like the more modest colors. Grandmother, don't think that the gray material is not good, it looks good with it, and it is more chic than the red and green ones. ”

Niu Shi hugged her lovingly and touched her little head: "Good boy, I know that our sister Sang is the most well-behaved." Since you think this material is good, then give it to you. I'll see what kind of suit you'll make. If it's really good-looking, I'll do the same. This color, my wife can probably afford to wear it. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled even more happily.

Qin Bai looked at it with a smile and instructed his wife: "At the end of August, I will be filial piety, and ask someone to prepare two or three sets of autumn clothes with a little color for Hanzhen, and prepare to change them." At that time, winter is approaching, and we have to make new clothes, so we don't have to waste them. By the time the fall of next year comes, the child will grow taller and will not be able to wear the clothes he made this year. ”

Niu agreed, and thought about it again: "Isn't there the jewelry worn by the little girl among the objects that were rewarded in the palace before? In our house, there was no one else to use these things except her. ”

Qin Bai nodded.

Qin Hanzhen returned to Mingyuewu with a delicate rosewood box, which contained a set of beaded jewelry for little girls, as well as a few jade pendants, jade rings, jade bracelets and so on, which could be regarded as adding another touch to her already rich private room.

Back in his room, Qin Hanzhen called Qingxing and Xia Qing over to admire the jewelry she had just gotten: "You see, this is something given by the palace, and my grandmother gave it to me just now, saying that it is to be worn when I go out as a guest or encounter some more important occasions after filial piety." I don't really recognize how to wear these, I know what the bracelet is, what is this? Is it on the plug? But it's too long, isn't it?"

Xia Qing smiled when he saw it: "This is for double mustaches." She took it and compared it to Qin Hanzhen's head, "Girl, look, there is a small hook at each end, bend the flower ornament and wrap it around the bun, like a ring, the hook is fastened, and it is fixed." If you are afraid that it will fall off after a shake, you can find a small hairpin to put on it, and it is safe. ”

That's how it works!

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, and picked up a jade ring with great interest: "What about this? Say it's a jade bracelet, it's too small, and say it's too big, what can it do?"

Even Qingxing also knew: "This is for forbidden steps, right? I will turn around and tie a tie, and with a tassel, the girl can wear it on her waist." This one can be used right now, so I'll go make a blue and white vein. ”

Xia Qing nodded: "It's hot right now, take the blue and white yarn to match, and the color is refreshing." This jade ring is really good, girl, it is as green as a lake. Such a good jade is rare. I also saw a hairpin at Mrs. Nagafang's place, it was such a good jade, and the color was not as verdant as this. Mrs. Nagafang would not wear it in her spare time, saying that she was afraid that she would accidentally break it, and it would be difficult to find a beautiful jade that was so green and had such a full head. ”

Qin Hanzhen suddenly lightened his breath by two points, hurriedly and carefully put the jade ring back into the box, and solemnly covered the lid of the box: "Put it away carefully, don't break it, you have to watch it carefully, don't let people touch it." ”

Qingxing took the box with a smile and answered. Xia Qing said: "Look at what the girl said, which girl in our family has such courage? The girl's jewelry, who dares to sneak it?" After speaking, she also followed Qing Xing and escorted the jewelry box to the inner cabinet together. She was also a little uneasy about such valuable objects, staring at Qingxing to safely collect the things, and put the key close to her before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lian Rui called Xia Qing at the door: "Sister, a sister from Songfeng Hall called someone to look for you." ”

Xia Qing came out of the inner room: "Where are the people?"

A person appeared behind Lian Rui, glanced at Xia Qing, and then shrank back. Xia Qing paused, lifted the curtain and went out to talk to the man, and after a while, he returned to the house, made a look at Qing Xing, and then went to Qin Hanzhen and said, "Girl, a sister in Songfeng Hall who has always been good friends with me has something to ask me to talk to, and I will come when I go." ”

Qin Hanzhen readily agreed: "You go, anyway, I don't have anything to do now." After a nap, I did my homework. ”

Xia Qing smiled and stepped back, glanced at Qing Xing again, and then lifted the curtain and went out. Qingxing looked at Qin Hanzhen, followed out of the house, and turned around after a while, waiting for Qin Hanzhen to loosen his hair and go to bed for a lunch break.

Qin Hanzhen yawned and asked, "What did Xia Qing ask you to go out for?"

Qing Xing helped her lie down on the bed, lit the incense that repellent mosquitoes and calmed the nerves, took a fan, sat on the foot pedal in front of the bed, and replied in a low voice while fanning Qin Hanzhen: "It was the thrush of Songfeng Hall who sent someone to call Xia Qing over." It's common for this thrush to have a friendship with her, but Thrush is Brother Parrot's sister, and looking for her is also for Brother Parrot's business. The girl didn't know that during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Xu family came, and Brother Parrot was ordered to come over and invite the girl and brother to go to Kurong Hall to meet the guests, and said some ridiculous things to Xia Qing. ”

She told Qin Hanzhen everything about the day before she said, "At that time, Sister Xia Qing felt that something was wrong, but it was not good to tell the girl, so she discussed it with me privately. I think that no matter what the intention of the long house is, Brother Parrot's behavior is very inappropriate. The girl was too young to understand any of this, so I went to the old lady. My wife said that she would find someone to inquire. It's just that Brother Zi'er fell ill later, and the family didn't bother to take care of anything else. Today, I heard that the second lady Xu came to the mansion, and she sat in the Qingfeng Pavilion for a while, presumably the wife asked her from her at that time to understand the reason for the matter, but the Xu family wanted to Gao Pan girl, right? But if Brother Parrot is at fault, our family can punish it by ourselves. Brother Parrot may have heard the wind and was scared, so he invited Xia Qing over. After all, Xia Qing said this. ”

Qin Hanzhen really didn't know that the Xu family had beaten his own idea, and he frowned when he heard it. She was only eight or nine years old, and Xu Zheng of the Xu family was in her teens, should she be so cheeky? When she thought that the two girls of the Xu family were dressed similarly to her at that time, and they were all said to be sisters, she felt goosebumps on her body even more.

She spat at Qingxing: "No wonder the Xu Xiu sisters and I modestly said that they had never read any books, but only needed to recognize a few words, and the expressions on their faces were so disappointed, as if I had committed some great sin." They think that I am not good at learning and that I am not worthy of their brother, right? But who would show that he is very knowledgeable when they meet for the first time? What's more, since their brother is so powerful, don't be wronged that he has fallen in love with a country girl like me, there are good girls in this capital who match his age and talent. I really don't understand, isn't the Xu family quite promising? The scholarly family, the family is also a high-ranking official, Xu Zheng heard that he is still a famous little talent, he shouldn't worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law, right? What is the Xu family doing with me? Even if it is the second sister, it is more likely to succeed? And that parrot brother, she has also stayed in our third room for a while, I used to look at her well, I really can't see that she admires the Xu family so much. You actually want me to dress up to Xu Zheng's liking?

Qingxing pursed her lips and smiled: "The girl doesn't like it, just ignore it." In this house, Mrs. Changfang has always been in charge, and her niece and grandson are naturally the only ones who say good things in the house. ”

Qin Hanzhen pouted: "Anyway, I don't like the attitude of Changfang and the Xu family." Originally, I thought that it would be enough to be a relative. But now that they have such an idea, I'd better stay away in the future. ”
