Pei Yin couldn't believe that her mother would say such a thing.

She has always been looking forward to marrying into the Cai family one day and becoming the wife of the Hou Shizi of Yunyang, but her mother knows her heart, how can she get the idea of the Qin family? How prominent is the Hou Mansion of Yunyang? In contrast, although the Hou Mansion of Chengen is also a Hou Mansion, in terms of power and status, there is no way to compare with the Hou Mansion of Yunyang!

To put it bluntly, the Qin family of the Chengenhou Mansion is actually in the same situation as their Pei Guo Mansion.

Although his grandfather was the prince of the country, he died of old age early and was paralyzed in bed for more than ten years, which was just a false name of a prince of the country for nothing; although Qin Song, the Marquis of Cheng'en, was the uncle of the country, he had no real power and was rejected by the emperor, and now he can only hide at home and not go out, except for the name of a marquis, it is also useless.

Although his father and uncles came from illustrious backgrounds, they could only be petty officials in the Sixth Ministry, and they could not see the slightest hope in their official careers; what about the Chengenhou Mansion? Qin Jinhua's father and uncle were also petty officials in the Sixth Ministry, and they had not been promoted for more than ten years, and Qin Jinhua's father did not show signs of being promoted to the fifth rank until last year, but what kind of high-ranking official was the fifth rank in the capital?

Father and ancestor are in such a situation, Pei Yin and her brothers and sisters, as grandchildren, except for working hard in marriage, trying to squeeze into the big family, or marrying the daughter of the high family, there is no other way to go. The brothers can also work hard in the imperial examination to increase their bargaining chips, and a girl like her can only hope that marriage can save her, so she will try her best to please the Cai family of the Marquis of Yunyang. She believes that Qin Jian and Qin Jinhua are in a similar situation to herself. Even if Qin Jian can study for the imperial examination, the future future is not necessarily bright, and he has to count on a good family affair to add help. How can she marry such a person?

Her mother may have only gone for the four words "the right door", which is not bad. However, it is too short-sighted. If she marries into the Marquis of Yunyang, she will never have to worry about it again in this life. But if she marries Qin Jian, when he becomes famous and brings her enough power and status, she doesn't know how old she is, and she doesn't know how much she will have to suffer during this period!

Pei Yin pursed her lips and said to her mother solemnly: "Don't mess around! What do you do with the Qin family? Didn't I tell you everything before? You also agreed." "After all, this is someone else's house, and it is an occasion like a spring banquet, although their mother and daughter are talking in a relatively secluded place, and there is no third person around, Pei Yin is still very careful, trying not to say the name of her favorite marriage partner, so as not to make people listen.

But Grandma Pei looked disapproving: "I did agree with you to give it a try at that time, but didn't you make it? You know the girl of the Cai family for a few years, and she is close to people." You also go to the Marquis Mansion of Yunyang often, and you have to go once or twice a month. I see that you and Miss Cai get along well, and their wives and wives often say good things about you. But they just said good things, and never talked about their relatives in front of me. You are all sixteen, how many years can you drag it out? If they don't ask for marriage for two or three years, do you have to wait forever? Even if Cai Shizi doesn't get married until he is in his twenties, he doesn't have to worry that he won't be able to marry the daughter of a good family as a daughter-in-law, can you compare with him? I think the Cai family has no intention of you, otherwise it would have been a long time ago. In this case, why do you have to die and have to be in his family? The Qin family is also good, although his family has no real power, it is better than Jian in the emperor's heart, and it is deeply valued by the emperor and the crown prince. I think his brother Jian is talented and good-looking, and his future will definitely not be wrong. Taking advantage of the fact that the people outside have not yet discovered the benefits of this family business, we quickly said that the matter was done, and we will have your own good life in the future. Don't be confused at this time, you are not the only one who is robbing good family affairs. If you delay, you won't have your share!"

Pei Yin sneered: "This kind of family affair is also good, mother, don't coax me." She bit her lip, "You've changed your mind, but have you asked what your father meant?"

Grandma Pei rolled her eyes: "This is what your grandfather meant." Although he can't talk well, he is not old and confused. When did he say that he had missed anything in the court? He said that the Qin family was a good family, and he had his own reasons. Your father, though he did not understand why he said this, was always filial and obedient, and would never disobey your grandfather's commands. Now that the elders have spoken, you should stop being petty. You've already made a mistake, and you've almost ruined the elders' calculations, so you have to make amends. After a while, you will find a vacancy and go to compensate the two girls of the Qin family, and say that you are only because of other reasons, and you will be dizzy for a while, so you will be speechless, and you must let them lose their breath. Otherwise, if they say a few bad things about you in front of Mrs. Chengenhou, you really don't want to marry into the Qin family!"

Pei Yin almost didn't bite a mouthful of silver teeth! She and Qin Jinhua have always been on an equal footing, and she is even more condescending to Qin Hanzhen, and now she actually wants to compensate them for their mistakes? Is there any heavenly reason? Aren't grandfather and father really confused? Mother even wants her to grovel to this point for the sake of the Qin family's so-called good family business. If she really did what her mother said, how would she gain a foothold in front of Qin Jinhua and Qin Hanzhen sisters in the future? !

She can't do that!

However, Pei Yin didn't have the courage to openly disobey her mother, let alone her grandfather and father. She could only express her concerns aggrievedly: "I'm afraid that if I really apologize to them, they should look down on me." "Trying to dispel the mother's thoughts.

Grandma Pei didn't buy her daughter's account: "Nonsense! I see that Second Miss Qin is a very sensible child, if you compensate her, she will naturally not hold a grudge anymore." As for Miss Qin San, she is from the Yongjiahou Mansion, and she doesn't have a brother, so her cousin's marriage has nothing to do with her, so there is no need to worry. You just have to do what I say, go ahead!"

She urged her daughter to apologize, but Pei Yin couldn't pull this face no matter what, but she didn't want to continue to listen to her mother's chatter, so she reluctantly returned to the table, and saw that everyone was surrounding Qin Jian, praising him for his good handwriting, and she was very disapproving.

The son of his relatives' family, his biological sister Qin Jinhua has no outstanding talent, how strong can he be as an elder brother? It's just because he is the host today, and there is the Marquis of Yongjia to support the Chengenhou Mansion, and the emperor and the prince in the palace value it again, so everyone can give Qin Jian this face. Pei Yin didn't even need to take a look at his calligraphy to know what was going on. She saw her mother, Grandma Pei, return to the table from a distance, and didn't look at her again, so she quickly turned her head and walked away. As long as she hides her mother, don't let her mother catch her, and when she survives this Spring Banquet, she will be able to leave the Qin family, and when the time comes, she will say that she has not found a chance to talk to Qin Jinhua alone, and her mother will not be able to say anything about her.

Anyway, Qin Jinhua is very easy to coax, if she pretends to be okay in the future, Qin Jinhua will probably not pursue it again. Coax two more good words, and the two will be close friends again.

Pei Yin walked away, naturally he wouldn't see Qin Jian beside him, and the Yu family brothers and sisters praised him again in an admiring tone. Yu Gongzi also asked: "I look at the words of the world brother, it seems to have some flavor of Wang Yuanlin's "Boyuan Post" in the Jin Dynasty. It's just that I haven't seen the original copy of "Bo Yuan Post", only a copy of it, I don't know if it's right?"

Qin Jian replied with a smile: "I often copy "Boyuan Post" on weekdays. My uncle Yongjiahou collected many famous books and facsimiles, and on my birthday last year, his old man gave me his "Boyuan Post". I have been practicing hard for a long time to get to where I am today. ”

Yu Gongzi was suddenly amazed.

Xu Zheng on the side asked Qin Jian in surprise: "Why haven't you heard my cousin mention it before? My cousin actually has a copy of "Boyuan Post"! Since it was copied by Yongjiahou, it must be an extremely rare masterpiece. He sighed, "Last year, I once saw the authentic work of Zhao Ziang's "Idle Fu" in his old man's study, and after asking, I learned that it was given by the emperor and asked him to take it out for Qin San's cousin to copy. I wanted to borrow it for a look, but I knew that rare books were rare, so I didn't dare to speak. If I can also get a copy of Yongjiahou's "Idle Residence Fu", I will be satisfied in this life!"

Qin Jian glanced at him with a smile and didn't say anything.

Yu Gongzi continued to marvel and envy. Yu Xinlan wanted to speak and stopped, but she was embarrassed to speak.

The wives and grandmothers heard that Qin Jian had written a good handwriting, so they hurriedly called someone to summon him to bring the words to them to see. Qin Jian held his newly written calligraphy, surrounded by a group of men and women, and went to Xiangxue Hall. There are also people who take advantage of the situation.

Qin Hanzhen was two steps behind, taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around her, and no one noticed her, she hurriedly whispered to Zhao Mo about the new situation that had happened in the past few days, especially the changes in the Zhenxi Hou Mansion.

Zhao Mo frowned slightly: "It turned out to be like this...... This time, the Su family is in trouble. However, your aunt and uncle expect that nothing will happen, at most, the future will be more difficult, and it may be difficult to return to the capital in this life. But they are innocent, as long as they don't make mistakes in the future, and they can remember their loyalty to the emperor in this matter, they will be fine. You don't have to worry about them either. When the spring banquet is over, I will look for someone to inquire. ”

Qin Hanzhen whispered: "Be careful yourself, inquire and inquire, don't make a taboo and make the palace unhappy." ”

Zhao Mo glanced at her with a smile: "Don't worry." In fact, he knew the measure, but Qin Hanzhen told him so caringly, he was very useful in his heart, and he would rather listen to her chatter again and again than let her save this sentence.

After all, it was a crowded public place, and after the two talked for a short while, they had to separate, otherwise they would attract the attention of others. Zhao Mo hurriedly explained: "After the Spring Banquet, I will go to your house to talk." He said goodbye to Qin Hanzhen. He had to return to Qin Jian's side, first hand over the painting he had painted, and then he would return to the men's guest seats in the area of the Spring Festival Gala Pavilion in the southeast corner of the garden with the large army.

There are also talented and talented people among the wives and grandmothers, and they soon ranked the talents of the children of famous families. In terms of martial arts, it is naturally the swordsmanship of Cai Shizi of Yunyang Houfu that ranks first among everyone. In the paper, Xu Zheng took the first place with two new poems, but the next step is to count Qin Jian's good writing. Although Zhao Mo's paintings are also good, they are not outstanding. He didn't plan to be in the limelight today, so he only used seven or eight points of his skills on weekdays, and he was rated mediocre, and he didn't care. In addition, there are several teenagers such as Lu Chuming and Yu Gongzi, who also performed well and received a lot of praise.

After the evaluation, Yao presented two gifts as agreed, namely a set of military books and a new collection of poems - to Cai Shizi and Xu Zheng respectively. Regardless of whether the parties were rare or not, the teenagers happily returned to the men's seats. Immediately afterwards, the ladies also sat down, everyone began to eat, and the female music team specially hired by the Yao family also began to perform the piano flute.

At this time, Qin Hanzhen felt Yu Xinlan next to her quietly tugging on her sleeve.
