Chapter 525: Coming
After seeing Sister Zhang, Qin Hanzhen felt that his mood was much brighter, as if there was originally a veil on his soul, but now all of them have dissipated.
Her emotional changes were a little obvious, which had already been revealed on the way back to the city, Zhao Mo's attention was always on his fiancée, and he immediately noticed it, so he asked her, "What's wrong?"
Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled: "The weather is good today." ”
Of course, Zhao Mo would not be deceived by her words, and thought about it: "Zhao Hanzhang apologized to you, are you very happy?" But I didn't hear you say that you would forgive her? I thought that you were still holding a grudge in your heart. ”
Qin Hanzhen said: "It's been so many years ago, what's the point of forgiving or not forgiving now? besides, she was clearly ordered to apologize to me." Your Uncle Qi is almost sheltering you now, and in order to please you, he will give me this face, and let Sister Zhang specially come to make amends for me. Sister Zhang herself may not really want to do this, if I say forgiveness, wouldn't it be too cheap for her?"
The point is that she came through it, but the original Sister Sang really died. Isn't this Sister Zhang'er's responsibility? Even if the child is not able to pursue criminal responsibility, she is not the original owner, and she is not qualified to say forgiveness on behalf of Sister Sang. That's fine now. Qin Han really felt that it made no difference whether he said forgiveness or not.
Zhao Mo didn't care if his fiancée forgave Zhao Hanzhang, as long as Qin Hanzhen was happy. He didn't take Zhao Hanzhang seriously, he was just an accessory of Zhao Hao, and he was not a recognized clan girl. If it weren't for the fact that he could have one or two more reliable witnesses when dealing with the prince of Shu in the future, he wouldn't even shelter Zhao Jie. Zhao Shuodu has been sent to the fief by him, is he really a dutiful son, for the sake of his father's friendship with Zhao Jie, he worked hard to give advice to his cousin?
Zhao Mo quickly changed the topic: "Next, we just need to wait for the people below to inquire about the news." There are happy events in your family one after another, so let's have a good time first. ”
Qin Hanzhen laughed when he heard it: "That's a good point." There have been a lot of happy events in our Qin family recently. My father is getting married, and my second sister is also getting married. I heard that the second room is also discussing with the Yunyang Hou Mansion when to officially marry the fourth sister and Cai 17. This May, our Qin family has a lot of happy events, but we have to be busy for a while. ”
Zhao Mo smiled and asked: "The most important thing is Uncle Ping's wedding, how are you prepared?" If you are short of manpower, just talk to me." I don't have much else there, but there are the most people. I am the only one in my family, except for Zhao Qi, and the brothers don't have a few people to wait, and many people are very idle except for cleaning the house or guarding the door. ”
Qin Hanzhen glanced at him: "You still send people to run errands outside all day to inquire about the news, where are you free? My grandfather didn't plan to make a big deal about this wedding, and the people in the family plus the seconded manpower from the long house were enough. The wedding banquet is mainly because I am staring, the materials are purchased, the chef is also available, the menu is half out, and now the family is busy training the girls and women waiting at the banquet. If Cousin Zhao wants to help, why don't you help me draw up the remaining half of the menu?"
Zhao Mo responded without saying a word, the two talked and laughed, and discussed the private dishes going out of Yongjiahou Mansion for a long time, and after returning to Yongjiahou Mansion, they went straight to the kitchen. When the Niu family got the news, they still wondered. After knowing the truth, she laughed out loud, and asked Zhao Mo to stay for dinner in the evening, and several delicious dishes were added to the banquet. The menu for the wedding day was quickly decided.
Next, the wedding preparations of Yongjiahou Mansion entered a tense and busy state. Qin Ping temporarily moved to the courtyard where Wu Shaoying used to live, and his yard began an emergency renovation project. Although it was just a matter of painting the walls, cleaning all the houses, trimming the flowers and plants, and changing some of the furniture and furnishings, after a few days, the whole yard was still renovated. The Cai family soon came to measure the size. According to the rules, Cai Shengnan is going to marry a whole set of furniture. Although this is not the set that her parents prepared for her many years ago, it is also the high-end furniture carefully prepared by the most famous dowry shop in the capital, which is enough to match the identity of the prince of Yongjiahou, and will not embarrass the Marquis of Yunyang.
Qin Bai personally wrote the wedding invitation and asked his family to distribute it. Niu personally took a few grandmothers to decorate the eldest son's new house, and equipped the yard with a well-trained maid ring - Qin Ping's own rules, there is no need for young girls and daughters-in-law to wait in the yard, the youngest is a fifty-six-year-old mother-in-law. But after the new daughter-in-law enters the door, of course, it is impossible to use only these few servants, prepare a few clever and sensible girls, and prepare for the future call of Mrs. Shizi.
Qin Hanzhen continued to be busy with the preparations for the wedding banquet and the training courses for the maids-in-law, and privately prepared a wedding gift for his father Qin Ping. In the busy season, she did not forget to meet her fiancé and inquire about the progress of certain things, but she also kept in touch with her cousins in the long room and the second room, while comforting Qin Jinhua, who was nervous before marriage, while watching and condolences to Qin Jian, who had been trained a little miserably by her future father-in-law and teacher recently.
April is fleeting, and the time is fast approaching May. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and all kinds of zongzi have begun to appear on the dining tables of every household. The Yongjiahou Mansion has received many invitations for the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and there are also arrangements for dragon boat races in the palace, but the three rooms of the Qin family may only be able to apologize to each family one by one, and they will not be able to attend these many banquet gatherings. Qin Ping's wedding date is approaching, he has already taken his marriage leave, the whole family is busy, where can I have time to go to other people's homes as guests? However, the long room still participates in some banquets from time to time, and the second room also has a lot of new invitations from the eunuchs, although the grade cannot be compared with the Yongjiahou Mansion received, but compared with the coldness of the previous years, Qin Bofu is already very satisfied.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, Qin An finally got the holiday and rushed home to help prepare for his brother's marriage. He was still concerned about this matter, and took the initiative to take most of the hard work of running errands and welcoming guests, and privately asked Qin Ping if he was satisfied with his remarriage partner? Although Qin Ping felt that his younger brother was a little stupid in asking, but for the sake of his brother, he didn't take a ruthless action, and only mentioned one thing: "When your sister-in-law enters the door, someone in the family is in charge, and your younger brother and sister can also free up their hands and accompany you to Changping, right? What will Brother Zhuang do when the time comes? Will you take it with your husband and wife, or will you stay at home and leave it to the nurse to take care of?"
Qin An immediately became entangled and troubled about his youngest son, where could he bother to ask his brother if he was satisfied with his future sister-in-law?
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the congratulatory gifts of Qin Youyi and his wife were delivered, and Qin Youzhen also returned to the capital. She first settled down in her own house, rested for a night, and before she could send a letter to her daughter, brother and aunt, the Xu family next door got the news first, and early the next morning, she sent a confidant to invite her to Songfeng Hall for breakfast.
Qin Youzhen stuffed two small snacks at home to cushion her stomach, and then went to Songfeng Hall with a worried face.
In the western room of Songfeng Hall, a table full of breakfast was already set up, and Xu sat there with a smile on his face, waiting for his beloved niece to arrive, except for a few henchmen and big girls, there was no one else to accompany him. Even the Yao and Min clans, who were supposed to settle the province here in the morning and dusk, were not there.
Qin Youzhen smiled, saluted Xu's family, and then sat down to chat with her about family life and goodbye. Qin Youzhen has been talking endlessly about what happened to her life after going to Changlu, what are the advantages and disadvantages there, how she is not used to eating, and has discovered a few new good dishes, and has met which female family is compatible, or which female family is stupid...... chattered like this, chatted for half an hour, without any repetition, leaving the rule of "eating without words" behind, and finally coped with this breakfast.
She felt that she should have handled it well, and Xu Shi had always been very interested in what she had said, and he didn't ask her anything else. She felt that she should be ready to say goodbye, the reason could be to go to the second room to meet her mother and brother-in-law, or to visit her daughter in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, which was very justifiable.
However, before she could get up and say that she was leaving, Xu Shi preemptively opened her mouth: "Why didn't you mention Brother Liang'er's illness in the past half a day? I haven't said anything about you! Such a big matter, Brother Liang has even delayed the test because of his illness, and you still have to hide it from me! If it weren't for the correspondence between Brother Liang and Brother Ming, who leaked the news, I wouldn't know what Brother Liang suffered in Changlu at this time! You went to Beijing to drink the wedding wine this time, didn't you bring your son with you? I haven't seen him for a long time!"
A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Qin Youzhen's forehead, and she said with a dry smile: "I'm also afraid that my aunt will be worried...... Chu Liang just got a little wind and cold, but he was so worried about trying to take the test, and he refused to recuperate well when he was sick, and he still had to read and memorize books while lying in bed. Seeing that he was not allowed to go on like this, the old man ordered him not to touch the books again, and he gave up the current examination, which finally made the first light stop. Now he is fine, but he has some hidden dangers, and he coughs from time to time. The doctor said that this was a loss of vitality, and he had to recuperate for two years. I originally wanted to take him to Beijing, but when I saw him coughing after walking a few steps, I couldn't bear it, so I had to leave him in Changlu. ”
Xu Shi said disapprenously: "You shouldn't be soft-hearted in this matter! You set off early, take Brother Liang in a carriage, and walk slowly on the road, how far is Changlu from the capital? It's not winter and spring, the weather is cold, it's not very hot, it's a good time to hurry. Even if Brother Liang is tired on the road and commits old taboos, when he arrives in the capital, what kind of good doctor can't be invited? Even if he goes to the Tai Hospital to ask for someone, it's just a matter of a post from our family or the Yunyang Hou Mansion. Let Brother Liang recuperate in the capital for a year and a half, make up for it, and are afraid that there will be any troubles? Staying in Changlu will only delay the child!"
She quickly came up with an idea for Qin Youzhen: "It's too late to let Brother Liang come to his fourth cousin's wedding banquet, but the child's health is important." You send two reliable family members back to Changlu, and let Aunt Lu arrange manpower to send Brother Liang to the capital. Don't worry, with me watching, are you still afraid that Brother Liang will have no one to take care of?!"
Qin Youzhen smiled dryly, and her heart was even more worried. How dare she tell the truth? Not only did she not want to take her eldest son over, but she also wanted to take her younger son with her after drinking the wedding wine!
