After eating, everyone in the courtyard wanted to rest and talk. Qin Jinrong was angry, felt sleepy, and wanted to take a nap, so Qin Jinhua and Lu Yueniang instructed her girl to go to the carriage and take her own thin mattress down and settle it in the west wing.

The two west wings here are clean and tidy, gorgeous and elegant, like a place for boudoir girls to rest. Qin Jinrong felt that it was very eye-catching, and the kang was also clean, and he also used his own thin mattress, only borrowed a brocade pillow, and then went down. Qin Jinhua yawned, leaned opposite her, and took a nap against the pillow. She's tired too.

Only Lu Yueniang took good care of Qin Jinrong, and when she and Qin Jinhua fell asleep, she quietly withdrew and went to the other room next door to talk to the girls. The brothers of the Lu family were young and strong, and after eating and resting, they whispered that they wanted to go to the temple fair again, only bringing two powerful long-term followers, and did not work hard to move the public. Before leaving, I came to look for my sister and asked her what she wanted, and she waited for a while before leaving.

Qin Hanzhen was still in the main room, sitting on the kang and resting next to the pillow. Although she was a little sleepy, she didn't plan to take a nap outside. She didn't have the habit of going out with a futon, but she had to use the futon from the restaurant to cover it, and she felt weird, and she wasn't very sleepy anyway, so it was enough to close her eyes and recuperate for a while. When I get home, I can sleep as long as I like. It's rare to have a chance to meet Zhao Mo, and she has to find an opportunity to chat with him for a while.

Zhao Mo spoke to Qin Jian outside: "It was Zhao Qiong from the Xiangwang Mansion who invited me over just now, do you still remember him?"

Qin Jian was surprised: "It turned out to be him? I celebrated the birthday of my second son in Xiuning Palace's mansion last month, and I met him." He didn't know where to get a jar of good tea and gave it to the second son as a birthday gift, and the second son was so happy that he hid it tightly, and refused to even brew a cup for us to taste. Zhao Qiong and I have been friends for many years, why did he only invite you over but didn't call me? You didn't send someone back to tell me. I should have said hi to him. ”

Zhao Mo waved his hand: "That's it, didn't you hear that when the guy from Qianweiju came to invite me, he only said that he was the young master of the Xiangwang Mansion, but he didn't mention which one? Zhao Qiong didn't want too many people to know that he was here, if he didn't have something to ask me, he wouldn't even tell me." I listened to his tone, it seemed that there were too many things in their palace in the first month, and their brothers were tossing and turning openly and secretly, and because he now had some money in his hand and was quite capable, they all came to woo him. He was so obedient that his brother and sister-in-law were dissatisfied, and he didn't please both sides, so he simply hid and nested in Qianwei House alone to eat and drink. I thought it wouldn't be easy for him, so I agreed not to tell anyone he was there. You have a different relationship with me, so naturally I can't hide it from you, but you don't have to go over. ”

Qin Jian sighed: "I see, it's really not easy for him. The chaos in their palace, the people outside don't talk about it, and who doesn't understand it in private? He is a straightforward and honest man, where is the opponent of those people? Few of those people really regard him as a brother, and they all have the intention of taking advantage of him. I've also heard that someone wants to make him the maiden niece of his aunt in the palace as the main room. Listen, where is there such a burying of people? No matter who his biological mother is, he is also a clan bloodline, a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, how can he make people so ruined? Rather than bothering to deal with those foolish people, he really might as well hide and be clean. Anyway, I won't go there, so that people won't see it, and I will block him. He dispelled the idea of saying hello to Zhao Qiong.

Zhao Mo didn't know that Zhao Qiong's marriage was also calculated, but he was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, Zhao Qiong had indeed reached the age of talking about marriage. This is an ally that he has spent a lot of effort to win over, but don't let an unreliable marriage be ruined. Zhao Qiong didn't mention it, but he had to help pay attention to it.

Zhao Mo buried this matter in his heart and didn't mention it, planning to go back and find acquaintances to inquire, and then find an opportunity to ask Zhao Qiong what he meant. Although he doesn't know a few families in Beijing, the Chengenhou Mansion can be used, and his popularity in the clan is not bad, so it is not impossible to invite one or two respected elders to come forward and help him find a good family affair for Zhao Qiong.

Qin Jian didn't know that Zhao Mo had thought of going so far, and was still asking him: "What does Zhao Qiong have to ask you? If it's not difficult, you can agree to him." He is the most sincere, as long as he owes you a favor, he will repay you a hundred times later. Those of us who grew up in the capital since childhood, all like his personality and love to make friends with him. Although you are living a comfortable life now, you don't know how long you can stay in the capital. If you can make friends with him, if you return to the fiefdom in the future, someone will notify you if there is anything going on in the capital. I could get some information, but I didn't know as many people as he knew. ”

Zhao Mo didn't say that he had already done this, and said with a smile: "I am also friends with him, and my friend has something to ask, as long as I can do it, where is there anything I don't agree? When I heard him say it, I realized that it was not because the Queen Mother was unwell, but because the little cousin sent to Cining Palace by the Shu Palace's Mansion was injured and injured her leg bones, and the Queen Mother was worried and distressed, so she had no intention of continuing to preside over the palace banquet. The Tu family knew that the Queen Mother was worried, so they helped to collect some good medicine that had a miraculous effect on bruises and bone injuries outside, and entrusted them to Zhao Qiong. Zhao Qiong knew that my caravan was about to enter Beijing from Liaodong in the near future, so he asked me to keep an eye on it, and if there was any good medicine, I would leave him a copy. I've promised him. ”

Qin Jian was surprised: "I see! That's how it should be, it's just a few medicinal materials." It's just that the palace banquet ended hastily, and it turned out that it was because of such an accident in Cining Palace! How could that little county lord be so seriously injured? I remember that she was still very young, less than three years old, right?"

The family of the prince of Shu is still in captivity, if nothing happens to the Shu Wangfu, his daughter should indeed be named the county lord. But now even the title of King of Shu may not be able to be kept, and the so-called small county lord is just a lie, just a casual call by outsiders, but it is not a real seal. Although the Queen Mother loved the daughter of the prince of Shu, she never revealed that she wanted to ask the emperor for her.

Zhao Mo said: "That little cousin, I don't know how to be so miserable. At a young age, there are three disasters and tribulations, and you have to stay away from your relatives. Fortunately, she won the pity of the Queen Mother, and she could live a life of fine clothes and food for a few days. However, if her illness is not cured, it will be too pitiful. But if she is cured, she will leave the Queen Mother's side and be confined with her relatives. I really don't know if I should hope that she will get better, or if she will continue to be sick. ”

Qin Jian only felt that there was something in his words, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Guanglu, you are ......"

Zhao Mo changed the topic with a smile: "That's it, let's talk less about the affairs in the palace." But at the palace banquet that day, I heard that something had changed. I've heard my third cousin briefly mention it, but the details are not clear. ”

Qin Jian's spirit was suddenly shocked: "Yes, I just happened to mention this matter to you today." ”

When Qin Hanzhen heard this in the middle room, he quickly opened his eyes and walked out of the kang.

She is an insider, and as early as when she went to Jiangnan, she was used to participating in discussions about business, Qin Jian didn't care when she saw her come out, and told Zhao Mo all the stories and inside stories of the conflict between the princess and her niece that she knew, as well as some gossip she heard from her grandmother Yao Wang and her mother Yao. Qin Jinhua had already communicated with him before, and he also deeply realized that it was not wise to conceal the truth.

After Zhao Mo listened, he was silent for a while before he said with some hesitation: "So, what do Mrs. Yao and Aunt Yao mean...... The daughter of the Wang family is involved in it, but she is only responsible for matchmaking, and she does not plan to marry the daughter of the Wang family to a child of a clan like the eldest master of the Wang family did in the past, and then push the child of that family to succeed the royal family? So what does the daughter of the Wang family want? This kind of thing is always risky, right? There are several clans in it, even my father is involved. They were also ambitious people in the past, and they were all willing to marry others?"

Qin Hanzhen was also silent, she originally thought that a person like the eldest master of the Wang family was full of ambitions, and this time he planned to make a comeback, and there would definitely be a big move, but she didn't expect it......

Qin Jian sighed: "Not everyone in the Wang family is stupid. Although Master Wang was confused in the past, he was blinded by fame, fortune and power at that time, and he was sick for a few years, but he also calmed down a lot. This time, he knew what the daughters of the Wang family were going to do, not only did he not object, but he also secretly helped each other. When my grandmother heard what her cousins meant, she seemed to think that the Wang family was too much of the limelight in the past, and as soon as the emperor saw that they were marrying their daughters into the clan, he knew what they were thinking. If you still use the old method, you will only startle the snake. It's better to get things done first, and then make friends with the heir's own parents. In the future, when the heir is big, the Wang family will choose a lady from the family to enter, and there may not be a day when everything he wants will come true. ”

Zhao Mo sneered: "They think long-term!"

Qin Hanzhen said: "They don't want to think about it in the long run, and now the situation is stronger than people." The emperor clearly does not want to see the Wang family, and no matter how hard they want to do it, what can they do? But they are quite bold, and they are not afraid that others will cross the bridge and draw the board? If the son of King Ninghua is passed on to the crown prince, the child will be the son of the prince in the future, and the emperor will send the family of King Ninghua far away, whether it is the three brothers, the Wang family, or the prince of Liao, what can they do? Do they have to wait until a few decades later, when the child is in power, and then they run back and tell him that they once helped him enter the royal family? Then the child is willing to buy it? Moreover, if the emperor really wants to give the crown prince a step-heir, he does not have to pick the son of King Ninghua. There are many people in the clan, who doesn't have a few young, ignorant and healthy children? Besides, it is still unknown whether they will be adopted. The crown prince is still so young, who said that he will not have a son in the future?"

Zhao Mo smiled at her: "Cousin is reasonable. Those elders boast of being shrewd, but in fact, they can't understand it as well as their cousins. ”

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him, pursed his lips and smiled slightly, but didn't say a word.

Qin Jian didn't see their eyebrows and eyebrows, and was still sighing: "Isn't what the third sister said right? Several of our juniors can see it, and my grandmother and mother also said that the daughters of the Wang family are just marrying others, but they have to go all the way to the dark, and my grandmother is helpless." However, even if the princess of the Wang family can't succeed in the future when she enters the palace as a concubine, they won't gain anything at all......

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "What else do you gain?" They twisted into a rope, just to let my father smoothly inherit the title of King of Liao, and enter the court to participate in politics and discuss politics in the future, and hold great power; let Uncle Ying be the heir of his stepbrother's concubine, and someone will succeed him in the future; let the Wang family regain the dignity of the past, and be a famous family in the dynasty, and no longer be in the countryside; let King Ninghua successfully send his son to the royal family, and ...... in the future. Can you daydream that if his son becomes the Ninety-Five Supreme, he will also become the emperor?"
