Feng Yuting still has no news, but Qin Jinhua's birthday is coming in a blink of an eye.

Originally, Changfang was just going to give her a little celebration. After all, this is her last birthday in her mother's house, and within this year, she will marry into the Tang family and become someone else's daughter-in-law. But Tang Han is now a second-class jinshi in high school, and he has a good future, even if Qin Jian gives up the palace exam, he will have to wait for another three years to know what the future holds, and Changfang can be regarded as having a son-in-law of a jinshi. The son-in-law of the previous Jinshi of the Qin family, or the husband of Qin Youzhen in the second room, Lu Pu, and Qin Youyi's husband Su Zhongying is a military general, and the route is different. Before his son was admitted to the Jinshi, a son-in-law of the Jinshi was particularly precious. The Yao family changed their dislike of Tang Han in the past, became enthusiastic about him, and actively invited all the Tang family members to their daughter's birthday banquet. In this way, the original small banquet is not qualified.

Yao turned his daughter's birthday banquet into a big banquet and invited relatives and friends. said that she was celebrating her daughter's birthday, but in fact, she was also congratulating her son on being admitted to the Gongshi, but Qin Jian was only a Gongshi not a Jinshi, and her future was not too bright, so she was not good at publicizing, so she borrowed her daughter's name. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she can also show off to some people, lest because her son did not participate in this year's palace examination and did not enter the Jinshi, he will be underestimated, and when he compares it with Xu Zheng, he will step on it again and again.

What if her son is not a Jinshi yet? What is her son-in-law? Xu Zheng has not even taken the entrance examination yet, and when he has passed the top grade, it is not too late to show off to her. Otherwise, if Xu Zheng only won the second grade, it would not be a big deal, and his ranking would be higher than Tang Han. It's not the same session, the exam questions are different, the examiners are different, who knows if Xu Zheng is shit lucky?

The mother of the cub is unreasonable. Qin Zhonghai considered that although his wife complained a lot about inviting a banquet for his concubine, she did not stop her after all, and the expenses that should be allocated were all allocated, and he should also repay the favor and allow his wife to be a little willful. Besides, Qin Jinhua is about to get married, Tang Han will definitely get married as soon as possible after being admitted to the Jinshi, her daughter will not stay at home for a long time, and her parents should let her have fun at home again and leave a good memory.

So Qin Jinhua's birthday banquet was held like this.

Qin Hanzhen naturally wanted to participate, and the whole of the three rooms went to give face. The birthday banquet is big, the male and female guests have their own territory, even the young boys and girls have corresponding seats, relatives and friends have been invited, not relatives and friends, but also close to the Qin family, or Qin Jinhua's good little sisters, all have to come as guests, even the elders of the third room, they also have a place to spend time and companions at the banquet, and they will not be bored.

The second room also came, only Xue did not come. She respects her identity and feels that she is an elder, and there is no need to raise a niece and granddaughter. Besides, the eldest granddaughter Qin Jinyi is currently in her husband's family and will not attend the birthday banquet of her maiden cousins, and Xue feels that it is not interesting for her to go, if she meets Aunt Fu, she may have to say hello, so why bother? If she meets Aunt Zhang, it will be even more infuriating.

In fact, Aunt Fu and Aunt Zhang didn't have time to take care of her. The two old aunts still live in the east courtyard and live happily. On Qin Jinhua's birthday, he didn't let the two aunts and grandmothers go out to the banquet, but specially sent a clean and sumptuous banquet for them to enjoy, and invited two female ancestors to give them a pastime. There is no shortage of girls and mothers-in-law waiting in the east courtyard, the two aunts and grandmothers are very comfortable here, they don't have to salute anyone, they don't have to look at people's faces, they have to eat and play, they are very satisfied, who still remembers Xue's?

Qin Bofu took his son to talk to his uncles and cousins, but he didn't show off his official position anymore. Although the recovery went smoothly, the level was lowered, which was a pain in his heart. When I thought that he was almost promoted, but because he took over the official position of his in-laws, he fell into the current situation, and he had nowhere to complain about his suffering, so he was so depressed that he couldn't do it. He couldn't complain about his in-laws, because Uncle Pei was also well-intentioned, and he couldn't complain about Qin Zhonghai, because his cousin really planned for him, but it was not good to tell him before it was done, for fear that he would be happy. If it's wrong, he can only complain about himself.

Thinking about it carefully, it would be a pity to miss this time, but if he wants to be promoted in the future, he still has to count on the cousins of the Qin family. The Pei family has good connections, but there are also many children of the Pei family, so naturally they are close to their own family first. And the second girl of the Pei family has not yet entered the East Palace, and it is still two to say whether the future glory and wealth can come true, but the Qin family is a solid flesh and blood family.

Qin Bofu returned to his old style of currying favor with his cousins. This time, he did it more skillfully, and during the banquet, he still remembered taking his son to the East Courtyard to say hello to Aunt Fu's grandmother. Aunt Zhang was his deceased father's roommate, and he could ignore it, but Aunt Fu was his father's biological mother after all, so she couldn't be disrespected. Aunt Fu and Grandma Fu used to be frequent visitors to the Empress Dowager's palace! How can such dignity be said to be lost?

When Xiao Xue and Qin Jinchun came to visit the two old aunts from the women's seat, they immediately guessed it. Xiao Xue just wanted to sigh, but Qin Jinchun was directly speechless. The in-laws of the Pei family are actually mainly to send away the old girl Qin Jinyi, who is difficult to marry, and don't expect too much. Looking at what kind of style the new Chen Liangyuan in the East Palace is, can you still guess which girl in the palace you like? Compared with Chen Liangyuan, Miss Pei Er is just a small bean sprout, and after three years, let's consider whether there is hope. If the Pei family was a smart person, they would have come to their senses a long time ago. And even if the Pei family really succeeds in sending a woman to the East Palace, what can it represent? Qin Bofu is too worried about his in-laws.

Xiao Xue and Qin Jinchun's mother and daughter accompanied the two old aunts to talk for a while, and then withdrew. They also want to talk to a few relatives and friends today, especially among the invited guests, as well as the wives and grandmothers of the Yunyang Hou Mansion. They have to hurry up and brush up on Qin Jinchun's future in-laws' favorability. Moreover, since Qin Jinchun is engaged to Cai Qiqi, she will be separated after marriage, and she will have to shoulder the responsibility of communication at that time. Before leaving the cabinet, she first used the connections of the Qin family to make a wave, and when she got married, these relatives and friends of the Qin family were her Qin Jinchun's connections.

Qin Jinhua was taken by his mother Yao to socialize and talk to Tang Han's mother Yongshou Junjun; Qin Jinchun was also taken by his mother Xiao Xue to talk to the ladies of the Yunyang Hou Mansion; Qin Hanzhen was idle, she has nothing to entertain at present, and there are no female dependents in her husband's family who are invited to come and need her to entertain.

Zhao Li, the second son of the palace of Yiyang County, recuperated his injuries in Beijing for a winter, and after the spring blossomed, he saw that the injuries were almost better, so he couldn't wait to get on the southbound boat and go to Yiyang to reunite with his parents. He was fed up with life in Kyochu, there were only people who despised him, and there were no people around him to curry favor. It is difficult for him to fight for a knighthood for himself, and he has to beware of the subordinates in the palace being bribed to harm him, and he really can't live a day of peace of mind. If he leaves early, he may live for two more years.

However, Zhao Yan, the third son of the Yiyang County Palace, had already taken the boat to the north at this time and rushed back to the capital to participate in the clan knighthood ceremony. During his brother's absence, he risked a bad recovery from a leg injury and worked hard to brush up on his parents' favor, and although he had not yet taken the place of the eldest son in his mother's mind, he had already made his father, the king of Yiyang, the former king of Liao, realize his talent. Don't look at the position of the eldest son of the county king, he has not yet competed, but compared with the down-and-out brother, his status in the Yiyang County Mansion and Yiyang fiefdom is definitely second only to his father. As for Zhao Li, he is now notorious in Yiyang, and it takes a lot of effort to wash away his bad reputation, let alone win over forces.

Zhao Yan has always maintained correspondence with Zhao Mo, and when Zhao Mo wrote a letter to his fiancée Qin Hanzhen in Beijing, he talked about some of his careful thoughts. For example, he went north to receive a knighthood this time, and on the way back, he had to pass by the original hometown of the Wang family, and brought his brother Zhao Li's fiancée, the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family, and asked her to go to Yiyang to marry Zhao Yan. Along the way, although the Wang family gave him a marriage, Zhao Yan had already thought of a few ways to deal with his future eldest sister-in-law, and he wanted to make Zhao Li's wife make a few ugliness as soon as she arrived in Yiyang, and don't think about having a good reputation in the fiefdom in the future.

Zhao Mo was noncommittal about Zhao Yan's careful thoughts, but just reminded Qin Hanzhen and asked her to be careful. Zhao Yan is a narrow-minded person, and he will repay him, he doesn't care, Qin Hanzhen doesn't have to have any contact with him.

Of course, Qin Hanzhen would not have any contact with Zhao Yan. There is no master living in the Yiyang County Royal Mansion in the capital now, and only servants are left for the time being. Qin Hanzhen didn't pay attention to their needs at all, only knowing that when Zhao Li was still in the capital before, Ah Shou had to send something over there every ten years, with a post asking for peace, and he had to send it publicly in front of many people, so as to show that the king of Suning County had never forgotten the number of courtesies and had always respected his relatives and elders. In fact, none of these gifts and posts were sent to Zhao Li, who didn't accept this at all, but so what? In the eyes of outsiders, they would only say good things about Zhao Mo, say that Zhao Li was arrogant, and criticize Zhao Shuo's indifference by the way. This is naturally good for Zhao Mo.

For example, now, when Qin Hanzhen chatted with a few friends in his boudoir, Tang Han's sister Tang Su would tell her that some of the private discussions of the royal family were all praising Zhao Mo for being a man, being humble and courteous, but he felt that Zhao Shuo couldn't be a man, and Zhao Li didn't know what to say, the king of Yiyang County really couldn't teach his son, but fortunately, Zhao Mo grew up with Yongjiahou Qin Bai, Yunyun.

Qin Hanzhen listened to Tang Su's reverence and appreciation for his grandfather and grandmother, with a smile on his face, and his heart was also very appropriate. Zhang Shu, the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Shouyang on the side, also echoed Tang Su's words, but seemed to be a little absent-minded.

She glanced at the seat where the elders were sitting, approached Qin Hanzhen, and asked in a low voice, "Is the one wearing the green armor over there the little aunt of the Cai family......?" It's so tall! I don't think it's a girl from someone like us......"
