Zhao Mo chatted with the ancestors of the Qin family for a long time, and the tiger grandmother outside came in to urge twice. It was getting late, and in the first half an hour, it would be a watch day. If Zhao Mo didn't plan to spend the night in Yongjiahou's mansion, it would be time to leave.

Zhao Mo's face was reluctant, he felt that he hadn't finished talking. I haven't seen my uncle and grandfather Qin Bai for a long time, and I have been separated from my uncle and grandmother Niu and cousin Qin Hanzhen for a longer time, and after tonight, I don't know when we can get together again, and he wants to stay for a while, even if he really stays overnight, it's okay.

Qin Bai softly persuaded him: "You still have to stay in the capital for a few days, are you afraid that there will be no time to get together? You have just entered Beijing, you have a family and a business, and you have a prince with you, where is there a reason to spend the night at a relative's house? You should go back to the palace to settle down first, the previous year is busy, and you always have to eat New Year's wine in the first month, and then come over." At that time, if you suspect that there are many people in Beijing, then ask the emperor for leave. As long as our family is in Beijing in the first month of the year every year, we always take a few days to go to Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Zhuangzi to escape the cold. Didn't you also get the hot spring Zhuangzi given by the emperor? ”

Zhao Mo was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, before saying goodbye to Qin Bai and his wife.

Qin Hanzhen still had something to worry about in his heart, so he got up and offered to send off the guests. Qin Bai and Niu's are elders, and their status is also high, and they usually entertain guests, but they will not send guests out of the second door easily. There is only one Qin Hanzhen in the junior in the house, and more than half of this errand is led by her, plus she has known Zhao Mo since childhood, Qin Bai and the Niu family did not feel inappropriate.

Qin Hanzhen sent Zhao Mo out along the verandah, and the maids were all behind them, two feet away, and they couldn't hear what they said. Qin Hanzhen hesitated, and wanted to ask the meaning of the words he said before parting, and what was the intention of pretending to be okay in the past few years, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, and then changed his words: "Does Cousin Zhao have any plans for the land of Cangzhou given by the emperor?"

Zhao Mo smiled and turned his head to look at her: "Does my cousin have a good idea?"

Qin Hanzhen bit his lip and whispered, "When people asked you, you threw the ball back to me......"

Zhao Mo was used to the strange metaphors that came up from time to time, and smiled: "I can't say that there are any good ideas." The household official showed me the fish scale atlas, the location is not very good, although it is not far from the wharf, but there is also a distance, otherwise it would have been occupied by someone a long time ago. In such a place, if it is used to build shops and do business, I am afraid that it may not be able to come like a guest. But it is rare that such a large piece of land, next to the canal, can be used as a dock for ships. My subordinates have been engaged in the general goods business in the north and south all the year round, and they all rely on the canal to transport goods, if they have their own boats, it is convenient to do it, and they can also do business in other houses, and the fertilizer and water will not fall into the fields of outsiders. ”

Qin Hanzhen also agreed, she didn't expect the boat to go up before, but Zhao Mo's words were reasonable. Throughout the ages, as long as the transportation conditions are passable, logistics is a good business without losing money, not to mention that Zhao Mo is the king of the clan, he is the proprietor behind him, who dares to charge harsh taxes on his ship? Thinking about it this way, it is really very suitable for him to drive a boat.

But of course, such a large area of land can't just be used for sailing. Qin Hanzhen gave Zhao Mo an idea: "It's not bad to open a warehouse." In the kind of place like the wharf, there must be a place where passing merchants need to temporarily store their goods. If you're going to start a boat, you'll need a similar warehouse. Open a warehouse, even if it is a little farther away from the wharf, as long as the water transportation is convenient, someone will naturally send business to your door. In the kind of land that cannot be cultivated and is too expensive to manage, building a house is the best. ”

Zhao Mo's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Cousin has a good idea, then do it! After the New Year, when I have free time, I will send someone to Cangzhou to take a good tour of the fifty hectares of land, and what preparations should be made, just prepare as soon as possible." It may take a bit of effort to ship the ship, but the warehouse is very easy to build, and the sooner it is built, the sooner it will be added, and the sooner my county king's mansion will be added. ”

As they spoke, they had already made their way to the front yard. The main gate of Yongjiahou's Mansion was open, and Ah Shou, who had grown a lot taller and stronger, was leading Zhao Mo's horse and waiting outside the door. Qin Han really knew that it was time for her to say goodbye to Zhao Mo.

She turned her head to look at Zhao Mo, pursed her lips, hesitated, and still didn't say anything. The time and place are not very suitable, maybe she can find a more appropriate opportunity to talk to Zhao Mo again.

Zhao Mo stared at the door, his eyes didn't look at her, and he whispered in his mouth: "Cousin Qin, that year...... Do you remember what I said when we parted?"

Qin Hanzhen quickly glanced at Zhao Mo. He suddenly asked this sentence at this time, and it meant......

She quietly bit her lower lip, feeling that the base of her ear seemed to be a little hot.

Who knew that Zhao Mo didn't mean anything, because what he said next was: "The wind is blowing, cousin, go back, I'm leaving." Then he really put on his cloak and went out, turned on his horse, smiled at her, turned his horse's head and led the man away.

Let's go!

Qin Hanzhen watched Zhao Mo and his party leave in a daze, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and he stomped his feet angrily.

What does this mean? What does this mean?! After nearly four years, he came back to this trick, is it deliberately tricking?!

Qin Hanzhen took a deep breath, feeling that his chest was still tight, and hurriedly took a few more deep breaths. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a sneer.

If Zhao Mo was really deliberately playing tricks on her, she would definitely let him know why the flowers were so popular!

If Zhao Mo wasn't deliberately playing tricks on her, but was making a fool, then she had nothing else to say. How can this kind of emotional intelligence be a good match?! If she doesn't teach her well, she doesn't know how many times she will be angry with him in the future! Even if it is for her own happiness in the future, she can't let him go!

Qin Hanzhen shook his little pink fist, threw the cloak behind him, and strode heavily towards the second gate.

Zhao Mo went, and he hadn't been on the door of Yongjiahou Mansion for a long time. On Chinese New Year's Eve, he was directly summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. In the next few days, he was busy visiting the palaces of various nearby branches, as well as several eldest princesses and eldest princesses.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Zhao Shuo, the son of the King of Liao, came back from Xiaotangshan with his concubine and young son, and Zhao Mo wanted to go to his father to say goodbye again. What their father and son said, outsiders don't know, they only know that Zhao Mo didn't stay in his father's house for a long time, and he has no plans to stay. He left half an hour later, and returned to live in the Liao Wangfu in the evening. The stewards and subordinates in the palace were all cleaned up honestly by him, obeyed his orders, and sent New Year's gifts to the royal palaces of various clans and royal relatives in the capital. As for whether these annual rites are the accounts of the Suning Palace, or the accounts of the Liaowangfu, no one knows.

Qin Hanzhen is also very busy here, except for letting people inquire about Zhao Mo's current situation from time to time, he can't take care of much. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Qin Keyong took his wife Xiao Huang to the mansion for a wine meal, but refused to stay overnight. He claimed that it was because his wife had been ill for a long time and was afraid that he would be too sick. But Qin Hanzhen looked at the reluctant expression on Xiao Huang's face, and knew that this was probably just his own meaning. However, Xiao Huang didn't mess with her husband anymore, no matter how unwilling she was, she just listened silently. Qin Bai and the Niu clan are too lazy to meddle in their affairs, and Qin Hanzhen naturally doesn't talk much.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, Mr. Zeng also officially said goodbye to Qin Hanzhen. Although she is not very harmonious with her parents, she lives alone in the small courtyard rented in the back street of Houfu all the year round, but when it comes to the New Year, Yili still has to go home for the New Year. Especially this year, I don't know if it's because of her relationship with the princess of the East Palace again, her mother's family treats her very warmly, and she must go home to live for a few more days. She is also old, and she has long lost the heart of her youth, so she also pushed the boat down the river and reconciled with her relatives. She agreed with Qin Hanzhen that she would come back after the Lantern Festival. Before the daughters of the Chengenhou Mansion officially start classes after the beginning of spring, she can still guide Qin Hanzhen's homework alone for a while.

Qin Hanzhen solemnly presented a cart of rich New Year's gifts, and sent two nurses, a rough mother-in-law and a clever little girl, to escort Mr. Zeng all the way back to his hometown in Changping.

Before leaving, Mr. Zeng specially told her one more sentence: "The prince and the princess in the palace like the street scene of the girl, and especially love the market." In the past, I thought wrongly, and sent some landscape paintings to the palace for the girl, but I didn't expect the princess to love the street scene more. Those Lingnan styles, when the girl looks at the right time, you can also give them to the princess to enjoy. The crown princess is in the palace all the year round, and when she rarely goes out, she loves to see the people's livelihood and landscape scenery outside. If the painting is a place where the prince has been, the prince is also willing to give an explanation to the princess and the little princess, and the family of three is very happy. This has not been the case for many years. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked, only feeling that Mr. Zeng's words had a deep meaning. It's a pity that she refused to make it clearer, quit Qin Hanzhen, and left in the car. Qin Hanzhen returned to his room, was stunned for a while, and took out the past paintings, especially those who painted landscapes and people's livelihood street scenes in various places, thought about it, and felt that he should put away his proud works. The crown princess didn't speak, so why did she bother to be so attentive? Besides, she is also a little reluctant to paint herself. I don't know if I can get it back if I sent it before......

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Yongjiahou Mansion and the Changfang Chengenhou Mansion jointly held an ancestor worship ceremony, and both families were tired all night. The next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Bai's ancestors and grandchildren all rested quietly in their own homes for a day before they could breathe their breath.

On the other side of the Chengenhou Mansion, it is very lively all day and night, and the guests are like clouds. Qin Hanzhen was a little worried about the Yao family, she was so tired, and she didn't know if she could bear it. There is also the lobby brother Qin Jian, now he is the eldest grandson, and he has a fame, which is not as good as when he was a child. Qin Zhonghai wanted to replace his father Qin Song, who was "sick", and entered the palace with his mother Xu to participate in the New Year's court, and was not at home. When the male guest came to the door, Qin Jian, the eldest son, was going to come forward to help greet him.

When she worshiped her ancestors yesterday, she also saw him complaining energetically, saying that Zhao Mo had only come to the third room for a meal a few days after returning to Beijing, and he ignored him as a friend. On the first day of the next day, he must go to the Liao Wangfu and question Zhao Mo. But now, according to the mother-in-law who was sent to the long room to inquire about the news, Qin Jian was so tired that she didn't even bother to speak, so how could she talk about killing the Liao Palace?

Zhao Mo, who is also going to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting today, is afraid that it may not be easier than him.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' home. The eldest aunt's wife, Qin Youzhen, didn't say it, and the sister-in-law's wife, Qin Youyi, also came back with her sons. Mrs. Chengenhou Xu is old, and she is not on good terms with her sister-in-law, so she does not return to the Xu family, but calls the nephews and nephews of the Xu family over as guests, and at the same time invites the grandchildren of the third room to come over for dinner, and also mentions going to the second room and also posting.

Qin Han really knew that maybe this was the time when Qin Jinyi was ready to make a move.
