The crown princess's state funeral lasted only twenty-seven days. As soon as the end of November begins, the filial piety period is over.

Up and down the capital, it has finally returned to normal. There are also people who rush to do the happy events originally scheduled for the end of October or the first half of November before the arrival of the lunar month, or rush to make up for the birthday banquet, full moon wine, 100-day banquet or something. But considering that although the filial piety period has passed, the mood of the royal family members at this moment is definitely not much better, so everyone has a tacit understanding to restrain a little and not make a big fanfare, so as not to obstruct the eyes of the nobles.

On such a day, Xu Zheng's wedding date has finally arrived.

His wedding date was originally set for an earlier time, but unfortunately he bumped into Guoxiao. Although his grandfather, Master Xu, has no official position, his rank is still there, and his father is also an official, so it is impossible not to be polite. Grandma Xu tangled up and pushed back her son's big day, barely in time to get married to him before the arrival of the lunar month. However, because the people who need to hold a banquet in the capital are relatively low-key, she is not easy to hold a wedding that is too festive. Many of the things that were originally planned had to be reduced. Even the number of tables at the wedding feast was reduced to ten. Even if the Xu family's room can't invite too many guests now, even if it is to invite the old colleagues of the neighbors and the men of the Xu family to fill the scene, now the banquet is so shabby, Grandma Xu is wronged to death, I only feel that I have lost face in front of the Lu family and my wife, and I can't show off the pomp of my own three-grade high-ranking officials.

But fortunately, she successfully got the post over Yao's obstacles and delivered it to Xu's hands. The Xu family has already promised that he will bring the Chengenhou Mansion to the banquet at that time, and he will also find a way to invite the people from the Yongjiahou Mansion to come over. As for a noble person like the princess of Suning County, the Xu family will naturally put on his own face and desperately invite people to move. Grandma Xu thought that there would be so many distinguished guests at her son's wedding banquet, and the depression in her heart dissipated.

However, she is no longer depressed, but Qin Hanzhen is depressed.

The Xu family's post had already been forwarded to her by the Xu family. She's already found a reason to prevaricate. She didn't even participate in the banquets of several palaces that were close to Zhao Mo's blood, if the Chengenhou Mansion held a banquet, she would just hold a handful of her mother's relatives. What kind of green onion is Xu Zheng?

Unexpectedly, because Qin Hanzhen politely refused, the Xu family was originally sick, but for the sake of his mother's nephew, he didn't even care about his face. She dragged her sick body and sat in a carriage in person, and came to visit Qin Hanzhen at the palace of Suning County, and asked to see her from the main gate with great fanfare, the purpose was to invite Qin Hanzhen to attend Xu Zheng's wedding banquet. Qin Hanzhen pushed again, and Xu Shi held the girl's hand, looking like he was going to kneel down and beg her, and said something: "Good boy, you should only look at the face of the eldest uncle and grandmother!"

Qin Hanzhen sank her face, looked at Xu Shi and the girl beside her coldly, and stopped the lotus and lotus stamen who were about to step forward to help people with her eyes, and sat down on the right seat lightly to drink tea. This made Xu embarrassed. Is she going to kneel, or not? She didn't really plan to kneel, she just wanted to use her status as an elder to oppress others. According to common sense, at this time, Qin Hanzhen should have asked someone to support her, or even come to support her in person, and then agree to her request. Everyone will do this, how can Qin Hanzhen, the grandnephew and granddaughter, not move? Could it be ...... Are you sure that she won't kneel?

Xu's face slowly turned red, gritted his teeth, and was really about to kneel. Hongyan, who was holding her, looked shocked, hurriedly supported her, looked at her in disbelief, and her eyes were red. This loyal girl never thought that her hostess would really kneel down to her juniors! Hongyan couldn't help but look at Qin Hanzhen angrily.

Qin Hanzhen was unmoved, and sneered: "If Mrs. Chengenhou wants to kneel, just kneel down! Originally, even in terms of identity, I can afford your big gift! Outsiders can't find any thorns in me." When it comes to gossip, I'm not afraid. The people of my county are very faithful, and they will not chew their tongues outside and ruin the reputation of the mistress. I don't care about the people waiting around Mrs. Chengenhou, but if anyone really wants to spread rumors, I will go and tell my grandmother and mother, presumably the second uncle and the second aunt will not let me be wronged for the sake of a few girls. Dispose of it as you do. There are actually a lot of things that can restrain them. Loved ones, old friends, friends...... The population of Chengenhou Mansion is much smaller now, and there is probably no longer a need for so many people to wait, whether it is a few people or a few people, it can not only reduce expenditure, but also generate income, who is afraid of whom?!"

Hong Yan's face suddenly turned pale, and he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Qin Hanzhen again.

Qin Hanzhen didn't bother to bother with a girl, and only looked at Xu. Xu's whole body trembled slightly, gritted his teeth and asked, "Three girls, are you ...... Do you have to be so ruthless to your uncle and grandmother?!"

Qin Hanzhen sneered: "It's just a wedding banquet for the son of a small official, what's the big deal? The prince of the county is not at home, and I don't even have to go out." I didn't go to the wedding banquet of Xiuning Mansion and Xiang Palace. Can the Xu family be more important than these two royal mansions? If I go, if these two royal mansions complain because of this, will I be wronged? Do you still think I'm so affectionate to you?!Are you very affectionate to me?!"

Xu was speechless for a moment. Of course, she knew that what she was doing was excessive, but now that she was not lightly ill, she no longer had so much physical strength and patience to slowly persuade Qin Hanzhen. Moreover, she is used to pinching her own juniors, and knows that none of her grandchildren can really refuse her, at most, she agrees in person and finds another excuse to delay. But the children of the third room have always been very decent in upbringing, and they will not fail to do what they promised. She had nothing to fear.

Qin Hanzhen could guess Xu's thoughts somewhat, and was unceremonious at this time: "Uncle and grandmother, let's be smarter, take care of your illness at home, don't toss these things." I went to Xu Zheng's wedding banquet, what can I represent? Is Xu Zheng able to be an official, or is he very promising? This has no meaning at all! If he wants to be an official as a person, then he should go to the Ministry of Officials to apply, and if he wants to take the examination for the examination, he will take the examination in a dignified manner! Don't fight these crooked and evil ideas, and no one should look down on them! If my uncle and grandmother really want to push me into a hurry, I will open my mouth, and I only need one sentence to make your precious nephew and grandson unable to eat and walk around! If you are not afraid, just let the horse come! Don't think that I respect you as an elder, so I really let you rub it round and flat!"

Xu left with a pale face. Qin Han's toughness and indifference greatly surprised her. It turns out that among the Qin family, there will also be juniors that she can't master? Rumors or something to the outside world, of course she didn't dare, she wouldn't offend Sanfang for this kind of thing. You must know that today's Chengenhou Mansion still has to rely on three rooms to support it. However, she didn't want to endure this breath like this, so she still invited the Niu family to come over, added fuel and vinegar to say something bad about Qin Hanzhen, and then cried bitterly, showing her incomparable grievances.

Niu didn't believe a word.

Qin Hanzhen had already reported to Niu's family, of course, compared to Xu's adding oil and vinegar, Qin Hanzhen's version was much more understated, and Xu's was described as "evil", as if she would do whatever it took to achieve her goal. Niu Shi now looked at the old woman's appearance and understood that this was the "unscrupulous means" that his granddaughter was talking about, so he sighed: "Sister-in-law, why is this difficult? Do you really want to offend all your relatives for Xu Zheng's wedding to be more dignified and have a few more distinguished guests? Have you ever asked Xu Zheng about himself? I'm afraid that he himself is reluctant to see his elders take this crooked and evil way for him, right? He has always been a high-minded child, claiming to be a gentleman, and he is bent on going through the imperial examination to enter the official ranks. Even if you hope that he will be promising, you can't ignore his thoughts and smear him in the face, right?!"

Xu Shi looked at Niu Shi in amazement. Niu was still sighing: "Poor Brother Zheng'er, he didn't do anything, he studied hard at home every day, but as a result, you elders who said that they were for his good, so you made enemies for him." I don't know, but if Guanglu is at home, our three girls will sue Guanglu, and Guanglu will say hello to His Royal Highness the Prince, even if Brother Zheng can be admitted to the top prize, I'm afraid that he can only be a fellow jinshi, right?"

Xu's face was ugly, not to mention how ugly it was. Where else would she dare to say anything more?

It didn't take long for Yao to get the news, and he rushed to apologize to Niu, and said repeatedly: "Our wife is sick and confused, and Grandma Xu is talking nonsense in front of her, so that our wife can do such a stupid thing." Third aunt, don't be angry, I'll go to the Xu family to scold people for you! Originally, the eldest master of the Xu family did such a shameless thing, and it was not easy for our family to have more contact with him, for fear that our family's good reputation would be affected. But our wife misses her mother's family and is reluctant to share with her mother's brothers, so she knows that the Xu family has done many things that should not be done during the filial piety period, but she is still close to them. But we know what to do when we are juniors, and we naturally know what to do. Third aunt, don't worry! We should ignore the Xu family's people who have no rules, no conduct, and don't know how to be polite! Even if we give a congratulatory gift to his family in front of his wife, it will be over! How can his family ask our wife to hold a young man when he is sick? I don't have to compromise his life!"

Xu's mouthful of blood surged into his heart, and he almost didn't spurt out. It's just to maintain his face in front of his daughter-in-law that he can't help it.

Niu Shi saw the bloodshot at the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression. But sympathy is sympathy, and she won't say a word. The old woman has indeed been too confused all these years, and she should be taught a lesson.

So, on the day of Xu Zheng's wedding, Grandma Xu looked at the scattered tables of guests, as well as the Qin family who had promised to attend, but there was not even a shadow, and her face was blue.
