A few days after the Wanshou Festival, Qin Jian set off for the south.

He originally planned to set off after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now after Qin Hanzhen pointed out the problem of time urgency, he changed his mind.

Originally, the reason why he had to delay his departure for a month was to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, and secondly, to wait for Qin Kewen. Although Qin Kewen had already taken the turn of the official vacancy, because Qin Song and Xu's husband and wife died one after another, he, as a nephew, should be dressed as the lightest of the "five clothes" for three months. Calculate the time, after the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, he would be full of these three months. The official vacancy that was originally his turn had already been taken care of by Qin Bai and Qin Ping, and he could be left until he was removed. Of course, this shortage is not a fat shortage, but a lower county in the mountainous area of northern Fujian, and there are basically no people with a background to fight for, so it can be operated in this way. After Qin Kewen was discharged, he went to the Ministry of Officials to receive the appointment document before he could make the trip. At present, Qin Jian set off ahead of schedule, and Qin Kewen has not yet gone out of service, so he naturally can't go south with him. In the end, the only one who accompanied Qin Jian to help Ling back to the south was Qin Duan in the second room.

The sister-in-law of the two heads of the Chengenhou Mansion travels, and the maid and the mother-in-law are naturally indispensable, and there are dozens of people who accompany the small servants and stewards and guards. If even the girls and concubines who Qin Song and the Xu family were waiting for during their lifetimes are also counted, the entire team of supporting the spirits will exceed half a hundred, which is called a pomp! However, under the banner of the children of the Chengenhou Mansion returning to their hometowns, the pomp is larger, and there is no gossip. As long as the conditions allow, let the dead elders be a little more beautiful, that is called filial piety!

It's just that the two ships sent by Zhao Mo can't fit everyone, or Qin Zhonghai rents another big boat, which is specially used to carry coffins and heavy luggage, and is attached to the back of Zhao Mo's fleet, which can be regarded as solving this problem.

Qin Hanzhen accompanied Zhao Mo and sent Qin Jian all the way to Tongzhou Wharf, and watched the boat he was on leave far away, before he sighed and turned around.

Yu Xinlan did not come with them because she was pregnant, but Qin Zhonghai came to see off her son in person. This is the first time that his eldest son has not traveled under the support of his elders, and he still can't let go of his heart. However, his foot injury has not healed, and he reluctantly sat in the carriage today, and he couldn't get off the carriage when he saw him off, so he sat directly on the car and said goodbye to his son through the window, feeling deeply regretful.

He complained to Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo in private: "If I had walked carefully that day and didn't step on the ground where the tea was splashed, or if I found the tea on the ground early and avoided it, I wouldn't have been injured." Today, I can still go south with Brother Jian, so that he will not be asked to take on such a heavy responsibility at a young age. It's the first time he's done something like this, and he doesn't know if he can do it. ”

It was the first time Qin Hanzhen heard the specific reason for his uncle Qin Zhonghai's sprained foot today, and he couldn't help but have a strong sense of déjà vu. She was about to open her mouth to say something, but Zhao Mo on the side had already opened her mouth first: "Why did Uncle say this? Brother Jian has been able to do it since he was a child, don't underestimate him too much." You have sent several capable henchmen to accompany you, and on the way he is on my boat, and all the places where he rests are very familiar with each other, and he is going to his hometown, so he will not make any mistakes. Grandfather had sent someone to deliver a letter back to Jiangning a few days ago, and when Brother Jian arrived in Qinzhuang, the elders of his own clan would lead him to do errands. What do you have to worry about? He is also a filial piety, so he wants to share your worries. You should trust your own son more, just recuperate at home, and wait for Brother Jian to bring you good news. ”

Although Qin Zhonghai was still worried about his son, after listening to Zhao Mo's words, his mood was still a lot better, faintly, and he was still a little proud, admitting that Zhao Mo's words were very reasonable, his son was indeed smart and capable, and there would be no mistakes!

Zhao Mo led the conversation, and Qin Hanzhen naturally followed the wind of his words, praising Qin Jian in front of Qin Zhonghai in various ways, so that Qin Zhonghai should not worry. When she got home, she remembered that she hadn't asked Qin Zhonghai about the fall and injury. She complained to Zhao Mo casually, and Zhao Mo smiled and said, "What's the use of you asking carefully? Could it be that someone can deliberately cause your second uncle to wrestle? Your second uncle only has a small injury on his foot, and he only needs to be raised for a few months." It is now the period of filial piety, and if he does not go out, he will not get in the way of business. What's the point of this to the person who harmed him? Unless your aunt is angry and wants to make a little mess for him?"

When Qin Hanzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Second Uncle Niang won't be so willful, right? "If you think about it carefully, no one really has the motivation to attack Qin Zhonghai, even if the Yao family did it, most of it was just a petty fight. The elders and wives are playing tricks, what is she talking about as a junior? Qin Hanzhen quickly put this matter behind her.

After the Wanshou Festival, the biggest event in the capital is the wedding of the new monarch. The date of the big wedding is actually after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, but the various ceremonies before the big wedding will start as early as soon after the Wanshou Festival. Of course, these things don't have much to do with Qin Hanzhen, only Zhao Mo has to enter the palace almost every day. She still stayed quietly in the courtyard, or took care of the palace affairs, or read and practiced calligraphy and painting, when the weather was good, she went back to her mother's house for a walk, or went to Chengenhou Mansion to visit Yu Xinlan, and her life was still very leisurely.

This year's autumn is a crisp autumn weather, and the weather is much better than in previous years. This year's year is good, there is no rain or drought, it can be said that the sky is beautiful. On the day of the wedding of the new monarch, the sky was blue, cloudless, and the sun was shining. Everyone said that God was rejoicing in the great joy of the emperor and empress.

Zhao Mo had been staying in the imperial city since the night before, and he had to be busy for at least three days. There may be some leisure in the middle, you can rush back to the house to rest, take a shower or something, but this kind of opportunity is not expected to be much. He had already been vaccinated by Qin Hanzhen here, and Qin Hanzhen also knew it in his heart, and he was fully prepared for him on both sides of the Junwang Mansion and the other courtyard, no matter when he rushed back, he could enjoy hot tea and hot meals, hot water washing, and clean and warm quilts as soon as possible.

The logistics were done, but Qin Hanzhen began to feel bored. In the palace of Suyang County, she is the only one who needs to keep filial piety, and she needs to avoid festive occasions like today, in fact, the subordinate officials and servants in the palace and something, as long as the conditions permit, they all go to the street to see the excitement. The girls waiting in her main courtyard all stayed, but she felt that it was inconvenient for her, and there was no need to be too restrained about the people around her, right? ”

Lian Rui and the others couldn't help but feel surprised, and they were still a little hesitant, deducing that it was more important to accompany the princess, or it was more important to run errands. But when Qin Hanzhen persuaded them to go out and have fun again, they wouldn't squirm. After waiting for Qin Han for a long time, they also knew in their hearts that this hostess was really kind and merciful, as long as they didn't make mistakes and didn't do stupid things, their lives were very good.

The girls almost ran away, except for Feng'er who was still by Qin Hanzhen's side, only the most honest Lianshi was left thinking that he hadn't finished Qin Hanzhen's new cloak and stayed. Qin Hanzhen joked with Lianshi: "I really didn't make a mistake in giving you this name at the beginning." Why are you so solid-eyed?"

Lianshi said a little shyly: "The slave maid has followed the princess for all these years, and every New Year's Festival, there is no shortage of opportunities to go out to shop. But the needle and thread at hand are not yet finished. If you don't hurry up and do a good job, you will not be able to catch up with the princess to enter the palace after her filial piety, wouldn't it be the sin of the slave?"

Qin Hanzhen laughed: "You are a loyal person." In that case, then please. You don't have to rush too much, if you get tired of needlework, you can also walk around, see the view in the garden, drink a cup of hot tea, have a snack or something. If you want to close your eyes and recuperate, it's okay to take a nap. There is nothing for you to do today. ”

Lianshi responded, smiled and curtsied: "The slave has thanked the princess for her grace." "Allowing her to work so easily is actually a bit unruly. But Qin Han really allowed her to be presumptuous, and she naturally missed this kindness.

Qin Hanzhen got up with a smile and went back to the back room to change his clothes. Feng'er waited behind her, and when she saw this, she couldn't help asking, "Is the princess going out?"

The small Qin building that Feng'er said refers to the small buildings on the west side of the courtyard that are used to collect books and treasures, because Zhao Mo built it for Qin Hanzhen, so it was given such a nickname. In recent months, Qin Hanzhen has often passed the time there.

But today she really didn't plan to go to Xiao Qinlou: "I'm going to Chengenhou Mansion to see my sister-in-law." On an occasion like this today, she must also be bored and panicked. Sister Cai is getting married, and our two former friends can't give her a wedding or go to the wedding banquet, so we have to be each other's companions to relieve boredom. After that, she said to Feng'er, "I can just ask anyone to follow me, there will be no outsiders along the way, and I expect it to be fine." You don't have to stay with me all the time, go out and have fun, right? Didn't Ah Shou ask you to go to the street to see Feng Jia?"

Feng'er pouted and said, "Who wants to answer his appointment? ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "You, I don't know what you think. If you are interested in Ah Shou, don't eat flying vinegar, and ask Ah Shou what he thinks first. If he had a heart for you, wouldn't it be better for you two to talk about it earlier than the cranky ones now? The two of you are in love, I will make the decision for you, and others can still have room to intervene? But if you have no intention of Ah Shou, but Ah Shou shaves his head and picks his head hot, then just talk about it and let him die. In the future, whether it is Lian Rui or anyone else, no matter how attentive you are to Ah Shou, you don't have to feel that it is an eyesore. Why be jealous here, and at the same time disdain Ah Shou's pursuit? It's okay for girls to be reserved, but if they are too reserved, it's easy to miss happiness. She patted Feng'er on the shoulder and walked to the dresser.

Feng'er was stunned in place, her face was already flushed, but she was thoughtful.
