Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Good Show
Zhao Mo's experience with the crown prince, Qin Hanzhen didn't know anything. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info what she knew, but when Zhao Mo sent Ah Shou back to Qinzhuang every two or three days to send Qin Bai his homework, he mentioned that he was all right.
But she didn't suspect anything was wrong with that. Ah Shou is now very important to Zhao Mo, and it doesn't matter if he looks good, since he said that Zhao Mo is doing well at his uncle's house, it is definitely not fake. Qin Hanzhen asked Ah Shou to bring Zhao Mo some snacks made at home to eat, and if he encountered something in particular that he wanted to tell Zhao Mo, he would also ask Ah Shou to bring a letter.
Zhao Mo often sent her some things over, including particularly good sketches when she practiced painting, one or two interesting words she found when she was reading a book, or interesting gadgets she bought when she went out shopping.
Qin Hanzhen is a little envious of Zhao Mo now. He lived in a good house near Huaiqing Bridge at his uncle's place, ate the food carefully prepared by the cook brought from the capital, and stopped his homework - even if he himself insisted on studying, insisting on doing homework and handing it over to Qin Bai, the amount was a little less than Qin Bai usually asked for--he could still go to the streets at will, go wherever he liked, and do whatever he liked.
Although Zhao Gongzi used to be a person who loved to go out, after moving into the city, he became a simple person, probably because the weather was too cold and he was afraid of the wind. But Zhao Gongzi did not restrict Zhao Mo from going out, and often encouraged him to go out for a walk, and gave him a lot of pocket money every time, so that he could bring it back when he saw something interesting and delicious, and Zhao Gongzi was happy to share it with him. Although there are a lot of people in the house, no one will discipline Zhao Mo, and no relatives and friends will come to the door, he doesn't have to socialize, he just needs to arrange his life as he likes, and accompany his uncle for a while every day.
How can this kind of life not make people envious, jealous, and hateful? Although the countryside is also very lively, after living in Qinzhuang for a long time, Qin Hanzhen feels that it is better in the city. At least in the city, she doesn't have to face the relatives and friends who keep coming to the door, and she doesn't have to squeeze a smile to socialize with others. Qin Bai and Niu's are not people who will rely on their identities to put up a stand in front of others, so she naturally can't snub the guests who come to the door. But she really didn't like to do that.
In comparison, Zhao Mo's quiet and comfortable little days are so jealous!
Qin Hanzhen sighed and finished writing a letter to Zhao Mo, a third of which was describing how boring his life was. In addition to talking to Zhao Mo privately in the letter, she couldn't mention these words to others. Grandfather Qin Bai hopes that she can get along with the clansmen more often, the grandmother Niu clan is very happy with the female relatives in the clan, and she doesn't feel bothered, and the lobby brother Qin Jian goes out every day to live happily...... She was the only one who was worried.
Qin Hanzhen put the letter in the dresser, planning to let him bring it to Zhao Mo next time Ah Shou came. When she turned around, she saw Qing Xing walking in with a smile, wearing a newly made cotton jacket and silk skirt, and a rather delicate silver-inlaid jade bead hairpin on her head.
Qingxing's clothes were purchased by her brother Li Zi for her sister for the New Year. Li Zi followed He Xin and went around Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huzhou. Although he just went to be an entourage, his cousin He Xin successfully took over the property of Yongjiahou Mansion in Jiangnan, and he was naturally more generous to his nephew. Although He Xin was Qin Zhonghai's confidant in the long room in the past, after all, he was only a cronie and a long-term follower, helping to manage things, and there were two layers of housewife and chief steward on top. Now that he is in charge of Jiangnan, he has made it clear that he will be the general manager of Jiangnan in the future, his status is high, he has recognized his nephews and nieces, and he can settle in a place close to his hometown, which is naturally a rare dignity. He Xin's status has risen, and the plums and green apricots have also been stained, and a few new clothes and a few small pieces of jewelry are just small meanings.
Qingxing entered the house with a smile, and said to Qin Hanzhen: "Girl, when I went out just now, I heard that the sect room is so lively today, and there is a good show to watch." The people in the clan heard about it, and they didn't talk much about the second grandmother of the sect in private. ”
Qin Han was really curious: "Aunt Keyong, what kind of moth did she have again?"
Since Xiao Huang was deprived of power by his mother-in-law, he seems to be much more honest, and he goes out less, staying at home every day to "serve the sick" to his mother-in-law Shen, and at the same time helping to take care of miscellaneous things such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt at home. When the Shen family led the eldest daughter-in-law Feng to preside over various activities in the clan, she did not show up.
The Feng clan performed very well, and in a short period of time, he quickly won the praise of the clansmen, and his position became more stable. The female relatives of the clan talked about it in private, saying that the Feng family was the proper lady of the sect, and her talent was far better than that of the Xiao Huang family who temporarily replaced her, unlike the Xiao Huang family, who always had some chaos around the New Year in the past few years, and everything was not thoughtful. In the face of this kind of discussion, Xiao Huang also endured it and said nothing.
Qin Han really felt that this really didn't look like Xiao Huang's personality, could it be that she was holding back her big moves? She had been secretly paying attention to Xiao Huang's movements in the sect's room, and today she finally waited!
Who knew that Qingxing told her: "The uncle of the Huang family and the eldest grandmother went to the Zongfang to see the sister-in-law, but they asked her why she sent the New Year's gift back to her parents' house every year, and this year it was much less? Ming'er is a young man, and the wives of several heads of the clan are discussing business with the grandmother of Zongfang, and when they heard the movement of the Huang family, they laughed at the second grandmother of Zongfang. ”
Qin Han was really surprised: "Is it really fake? The Huang family can actually come to the door to make trouble?"
Qingxing smiled: "But isn't it? Where is this truth? The married daughter wants to give a New Year's gift to her mother's family, and if you give more, it is filial piety, and if you give less...... As long as it's not excessive, it's nothing. Where will there be an elder brother, who will come to the door to make trouble because the sister-in-law has less New Year's gifts for her mother......'s family?
She paused and lowered her voice: "This year, the second grandmother of the sect is not at home, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the clan, how much silver can she have in her hand? If her mother's family was sensible, not only should they not make a fuss, but they should be considerate of her, but they didn't expect it to be so big. In the past, the second grandmother of the sect was able to give her mother's family a rich New Year's gift, most of which was because she was greedy for the money in the clan's public account. This year, she can't touch her hands, so she will naturally give fewer New Year's gifts. ”
Qin Hanzhen said: "Although I think the Huang family ...... No, Aunt Keyong's family is not very smart, but it is not stupid to that extent, right? Even if he wants to come to the door to question his sister, he should not have shouted about it. Isn't it Aunt Keyong who is so disgraced? What good can he get?"
Qingxing said: "It's also a coincidence, the place where the grandmother of the sect and the wives and grandmothers of the clan discuss is only separated by a wall from the small flower hall. The place where the second grandmother of Zongfang saw her mother's brother and sister-in-law was in the small flower hall. Uncle Huang probably didn't know that there was someone next door, so he was annoyed for a while, so he shouted loudly, just to ask his wife and grandmother to listen. ”
Qin Han really thought, where is there such a coincidental thing? The Xiao Huang clan's corruption charge has long been rumored in the clan, but it is just a rumor, and there is no evidence. If it weren't for the sect depriving Xiao Huang of his power, the rumors would not have spread so much, in fact, there was a deep grudge, and everyone beat the water dogs, but they couldn't beat them to death. And now that the uncle of the Huang family has made a fuss, doesn't it just confirm that his sister-in-law once had the problem of a huge amount of property from unknown sources? With this kind of result, either Xiao Huang is too stupid, or Feng is scheming. Anyway, none of the concubines in the sect room are fuel-efficient lamps.
Qin Hanzhen shook his head and said: "Aunt Keyong committed the crime first, and she deserves to be exposed." I just don't understand, what is Uncle Huang doing? He can be said to rely on his sister for everything, and now he will actually get into trouble with Aunt Keyong because he has received a little less New Year's gift?
Qingxing said: "Listening to the people in Zongfang, it seems that it is for the sake of the Huang family's girl, and the second grandmother of Zongfang is not very happy with her mother's family. ”
Huang Yiqiu?
Qin Hanzhen said busily: "Didn't you hear that the girl of the Huang family lives in Huang Yanshi's house? This is a good thing, why did her family get into trouble with her aunt who got married?"
Qingxing said: "I don't know the inside story, I only heard a few mothers-in-law discuss, it seems to be ...... It's almost the New Year, and the second grandmother of Zongfang urged her family to take the Huang family girl home quickly. Uncle Huang went to Mr. Huang's house, but did not bring anyone back, but said that it was good for Miss Huang to continue to live there, and said that he would take the old people back to Yangzhou to worship their ancestors while it was not yet the New Year. The second grandmother of Zongfang stopped them from going back, and sent the people around her to pick up Miss Huang, and quarreled with Huang Yanshi, and Huang Yanshi was angry at Uncle Huang, saying that he really didn't care if he made trouble again. Uncle Huang annoyed his sister because of this, saying that if Miss Huang's future was ruined, even if his sister did it, he couldn't rely on it. ”
Qin Hanzhen said: "Although I don't know the details, Aunt Keyong ...... It's too lenient to take care of the affairs of her mother's family, right? The mother's family wants to go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, what is she preventing? There is also the matter of picking up Miss Huang Yiqiu. People's parents and mothers were not in a hurry, but she sent someone to pick them up. She is a married aunt, and she really brought people back, but it is not the same as sending them back to her parents' house? Can she still be brought to Qinzhuang?"
Qingxing pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard that the uncle and grandmother of the Huang family scolded the second grandmother of the sect, and it is also because of this. Recently, there are many young talents in Qinzhuang, and the eldest grandmother of the Huang family said that the second grandmother of Zongfang was because she lost power in her in-law's family, and she wanted to marry her niece into the Qin family, so that she could be an arm, so that she would repeatedly hinder Miss Huang's future and prevent her from marrying into a better official family. It is said that when the second grandmother of the sect heard this, she was so angry that her face turned blue, and she almost didn't faint!"
Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows, thinking that this is really a wicked person's own evil man's own grinding.
