Chapter 257: Jin Jian

Qin Hanzhen sat in the carriage, while listening to Mama Wei whispering and quickly repeating the etiquette rules that need to be paid attention to when meeting the Queen Mother alone, while quietly looking at Wu Siyan a few times.

She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the carriage had not yet entered the palace to inquire a little from Wu Siyan, what was the matter with the sudden summons of the Queen Mother today.

Also, how is the Queen Mother feeling today, and if there are any taboos recently, she had better inquire in advance, so as to save her a moment of mistakes in front of the Queen Mother.

Wu Siyan is still the same smiling and kind appearance. Hearing that Mama Wei temporarily gave Qin Hanzhen an etiquette consolidation course, it was as if she hadn't heard anything. When Mama Wei finished explaining what she should explain, she turned her head to talk to her, and asked about the recent situation of the old acquaintances in the Internal Affairs Office or the palace, she began to reveal some news in a vague manner, mainly because the Queen Mother had the idea of summoning Qin Hanzhen today.

Qin Hanzhen faintly felt that she seemed to be courting herself. Why is that? I am not familiar with this female officer. If it is another female official in front of the Queen Mother, the one that the female relatives of the Qin family often meet when they enter the palace during the New Year's Festival, they may be able to climb up a little friendship, or if they come to a grandmother who has worked with Mama Wei and Mama Lu, it can be regarded as a bit of incense. Now this Wu Siyan is said to have been waiting in Cining Palace, and when she entered the palace, Queen Qin had already passed away, so she didn't look like she had any old friendship with the Qin family.

A few thoughts flashed through Qin Hanzhen's mind, and he put this matter down. Since Wu Siyan doesn't seem to have malicious intentions towards him, and he has the heart to reveal the news to himself, then he will accept the other party's kindness, and then ask Zhao Mo to inquire about it. Zhao Mo often walks in the palace now, and is always much more familiar with the personnel in the palace than her. Maybe this Wu Siyan has some connection with the East Palace, or has a good relationship with Zhao Mo, so he will be so polite to her?

She focused her attention on what Wu Siyan said, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

In fact, the Queen Mother suddenly thought of summoning her today, it was really a disaster. It's just that when the Queen Mother was walking in the imperial garden, she listened to the people around her talk about some gossip in the clan, and mentioned that there were two clans that had jokes recently. In one of them, the wife was jealous, and when she learned that her husband had an outer room, she chased after her husband to the door of the house where the outer room lived, and shouted in the street, so that the neighbors around him saw it, and watched the jokes;

The Queen Mother was very angry after hearing this, and felt that the rules and etiquette of the ladies of the clan really needed to reflect on it. Even if you make a joke in your own home, you will actually make a fuss in front of the public and in front of the officials and people outside, which is really a shame for the clan! It seems that if the children of the clan want to marry a wife in the future, they will have to inquire about the bride's upbringing and conduct in advance. For the girls in the clan, education should also be strengthened.

The Queen Mother's thoughts are actually very normal, she is the highest-ranking elder in the Zhao royal family, and it is also a matter of duty to pay more attention to the rules and upbringing of the juniors. It's just unfortunate that among the people around the Queen Mother at that time, someone mentioned that Qin Hanzhen, the new daughter-in-law who was about to marry into the clan, was a rumored widowed eldest daughter who was not well educated.

Although the Queen Mother is not familiar with Qin Hanzhen, she can see her several times a year, and she knows in her heart that she is not as bad as rumored. It's just that the Queen Mother remembered Zhao Mo, a young sect child valued by the royal family, and it was inevitable that she should be cautious in her heart, so she summoned Qin Hanzhen to meet her and confirm her character. In the past, she was only summoned with others during the New Year's Festival, and the Queen Mother did not have any opportunity to talk to Qin Hanzhen alone, and all she learned was superficial things. Now that we are summoned individually and have a face-to-face conversation, we must be able to detect the true nature of a person even more.

The Queen Mother had good intentions, but Qin Han was really puzzled, how could anyone suddenly mention her in front of the Queen Mother? Just because she was only given a few days ago?

Seriously, the rumors that she is the eldest daughter of a widow with poor upbringing, in fact, are only secretly circulated among the middle and upper classes in the capital, but not many people in the palace will say this, and people with higher status in the clan will not chew this kind of tongue.

There is no other reason, she doesn't have much contact with the outside world on weekdays, and she is a housemaid, so in addition to relatives and friends, there are many people who don't know her, and those who even know the Niu family only know the rumors, it is even more impossible to know her temperament. Just like Pei Yin, haven't you always felt that she has no culture and doesn't understand poetry, calligraphy and painting?

But the people in the palace don't think so. First, the Qin family is the maiden family of the Empress Qin, and the emperor is still thinking about the Empress Qin, and the prince is the only son of the Empress Qin, the people in the palace will be more cautious in their words and deeds, and there is no need to spread the gossip of the queen's niece and granddaughter, which will make the people above angry; Third, Qin Hanzhen has the opportunity to enter the palace several times a year, and a few months ago, he sent a few autographs to the East Palace, and the people in the palace actually know her true level to some extent, and many people have seen her. Every time she enters the palace, she asks herself if she has never made a mistake in etiquette, words and deeds, who can say that she has a bad upbringing?

Moreover, people with higher status in the clan would not chew such tongues either. Xiuning Mansion and Chengenhou Mansion have intersected for many years, and every banquet held by Chengenhou Mansion is indispensable to the female dependents of Xiuning Palace. Qin Hanzhen and them are often in and out of each other, and they are familiar with each other, so Princess Xiuning will never criticize her upbringing. And with Princess Xiuning's status and connections in the clan, she opened her mouth, and those juniors in the clan would not belittle her in front of others. She doesn't know whether these people will criticize behind their backs, but for no reason, they will not run to the Queen Mother to dismantle her stage.

In this way, who is secretly poking and prodding in front of the Queen Mother, who wants to yin her?

Qin Hanzhen inquired with Wu Siyan again, trying to find out which female family had entered the palace today and talked to the Queen Mother. But Wu Siyan's answer made her very puzzled, because the Queen Mother was not summoned by anyone today, she was walking alone in the imperial garden, and even the crown princess Tang was not around.

If the crown princess Tang was present, Qin Hanzhen would have to doubt her a little, because she once disliked herself, and she was more willing to let Cai Yuanzhen and Zhao Mo achieve marriage. But when the crown princess is not there, who will be so insidious?

Qin Han really thought that Wu Siyan said that the Queen Mother was walking "alone" in the imperial garden, which must not be true. With the status and status of the queen mother, she is also an old man, who in the palace dares to let her walk alone? Most of the time it means that in the queue for walking, she is the only noble person with status, right? The other palace maids and eunuchs ...... It's not counted. Could it be that which palace maid or eunuch was instructed to deliberately speak ill of her Qin Han in front of the Queen Mother?

Qin Hanzhen walked into the imperial city with full questions.

The situation was much better than she had imagined, though. The Queen Mother was very kind, and her expression was very loving, and she would ask her grandfather and grandmother about their health with concern, and even talk about her preparations for the dowry.

The Queen Mother smiled and said to her: "Don't worry too much, go back and tell your grandmother, don't panic, the people from the Zongren Mansion and the Internal Affairs Mansion will arrange it for her, and she just listens to them." Now let's wait for a few auspicious days for the Qin Heavenly Eunuch to come out, let Guanglu and your grandfather choose slowly, and choose the most suitable one, and it will not be too late for you to arrange the next things. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will prepare a dowry for you, and it will follow the rules of the prince of the county to marry a wife. If you want to add more to your family, add more to this dowry, and you can also accompany you to send you more silver at the bottom of the box, which is the living money. As for clothes and jewelry, it's fine. Clothes have to be made new every year, and the jewelry palace will be rewarded, and it will be enough to prepare a few sets of beloved ones. ”

Qin Hanzhen wrote them down one by one, and then got up and saluted to thank him.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and continued with a smile: "The most troublesome thing now is the house you will live in in the future. Guanglu is going back to Suning's fiefdom, he has a palace there, if you marry furniture, you must send it to the palace. But he also has to open a mansion in Beijing, otherwise when he comes to Beijing in the future, he will either live in his grandfather's palace or go to your house, which is not like words. His father's place, although it is not that he can't even get a yard, is not comfortable to live in, so it is better not to live. The mourning family had the heart to persuade the emperor to give him a house, but he said that he had been looking for it for a long time, and he didn't know if he had found it now. He doesn't have a serious house, I'm afraid that your family wants to make the furniture for the dowry, and I don't know what size to make. ”

The Queen Mother was so kind to her, Qin Hanzhen also let go of her restraints and discussed these issues with her generously. She had already heard Zhao Mo say about the house, and now he was still struggling with which house to choose, and he had already vetoed several choices. If he fails to set an address, he will not be able to start the house renovation project for a day, let alone the furniture that Qin Hanzhen's family is going to dowry. It's really troublesome to think about it this way.

Qin Han really had a plan in his heart, and was ready to customize the furniture according to the size of the county king's mansion. Anyway, no matter what house Zhao Mo chooses in the end, it will always have to be rebuilt. As long as the size of the upper room in the main courtyard is in accordance with the regulations, she is not afraid that the furniture from the marriage will not be used. As for the rest of the county king's mansion, he will be pleased. By the way, Zhao Mo is in Suning's palace, and she also plans to ask her grandfather and grandmother to send someone to measure the size. In the future, the furniture for the wedding will definitely be divided into a part of the past. This is ready-made data, so you don't have to worry about it.

The queen mother listened to her that everything was successful, and she was quite happy, and chatted with her for half an hour, and she was in a good mood, so she generously let her out of the palace, and told her that when she was free in the future, she would hand over the sign to the palace and chat with herself.

Qin Hanzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and retired with a smile. She didn't know that after she left, the Queen Mother said to the people around her: "In the past, I only thought that the three girls of the Qin family were quiet and gentle, and she spoke politely, but I didn't expect her to be very generous and refreshing, she didn't twist at all, she also had talents, and she spoke very organized." Ah Qiu, the mourning family sees that she is very well educated, and people outside don't know it, so they just talk nonsense. If she really just pretended to be like this, and the mourning family had been with her for a long time, she should have forgotten and revealed her true colors. The mourning family thinks that she is a very good girl. Guanglu's kid has always been smart, and if this girl really has shortcomings, he won't forget it for many years. ”

The grandmother beside her smiled slightly, and said softly: "The Queen Mother thinks that Miss Qin San is good, then there must be no mistake." The slave also thought that this girl was very generous. Before she passed the door, the king of Suning County would be able to call the shots about the affairs of the palace in the future. It can be seen that she and the prince of the county are really very good......"
