Chapter 1247 Painting the screen

Qin Hanzhen just flirted with Zhao Mo all the way and visited his new home.

Overall, she is quite satisfied with Suning County Prince's Mansion. Although it is a mansion that was renovated after merging several houses, the layout is regular, the houses are tall and ventilated, the lighting is good, and the overall style is very suitable.

Her own preferences, and what’s more rare is that even the water supply and drainage are installed according to the set she made, ensuring the comfort and cleanliness of life, which is a little surprise. She also knows that all of this is indispensable for Zhao Mo’s careful arrangements.

, he obviously put a lot of thought into making her live comfortably in her new home after marriage.

Qin Hanzhen solemnly thanked his newlywed husband for his hard work and thoughtfulness.

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "What's the point? I live in this mansion myself. If I marry you, but make your life less comfortable than before in your parents' home, wouldn't that be useless?" However,

He was quite happy to hear Qin Han's thoughtful words, and said, "The palace over there in Suning is bigger and more spacious than here. Even the garden is twice as big as here. I also asked people to take care of the palace here."

The drawings show the water supply and drainage. You will definitely like it when you go there.”

Qin Han was really yearning for it when he heard it.

However, Zhao Mo is still a little dissatisfied with the newly built Prince's Palace: "The flowers and trees are not lively enough. Although I know it's because it rained for more than a month, but we are still newlyweds, looking at those flowers and grass.

The wilting appearance is still quite disappointing."

Qin Hanzhen gave him an idea: "In the future, we don't have to ask gardeners to plant flowers directly in the yard. Except for the tall flowers and trees that need to be planted in the ground, small flowers can simply be planted in the same flower pot.

Then, they can be arranged in different shapes according to the needs of the festival. Which pot of flowers fails to bloom, just replace that pot without affecting other flowers. It is convenient and fast. If it rains heavily,

It is also very easy for people to quickly move the flowers and pots into the house to shelter from the wind and rain. It is even easier to control the humidity in the soil."

Zhao Mo heard this and said: "That's a good idea! In previous years, during the Double Ninth Festival, other princes would have a banquet. I have seen people arrange chrysanthemums like this, but I rarely see other people treat other flowers in this way. But

It really saves trouble, just let people do it this way!”

Qin Hanzhen has a dowry village, which is located in Xiaotangshan and has two hot springs. It was originally specially prepared to grow vegetables for her. She thought about how much she could eat by herself? She sold off-season vegetables in winter and was a certain person in Beijing.

Several royal family members were working in private houses. She couldn't compete with the clan elders for business, so she simply asked people to reorganize the fields on the village, only one-third of the fields were designated for fresh melons and vegetables, and the remaining one-third were planted.

Fruits and one-third of fresh flowers, even if you can’t use them yourself, can be given as gifts or even sold.

She had only read the account books a few days ago and knew that there was a batch of potted flowers in Zhuangzi that were well maintained and she could use them at any time. Since the flowers in Suning County Prince's Mansion were not very energetic, she might as well tell Zhuangzi that they were married to her.

Just tell me and ask someone to send a batch of flowers. Don't let the fertilizer go to other people's fields. Of course, your own things should be used on your own land.

Qin Hanzhen remembered hearing Princess Xiuning mention that the clan had a tradition that when a family married a new daughter-in-law, within six months of the wedding, the new daughter-in-law would have to hold a banquet and invite the clan elders to the house.

To thank her elders for their help and care, on the other hand, she also wanted to show off her housekeeping skills and prove that she is a smart, capable and virtuous daughter-in-law.

Qin Hanzhen felt that he should also follow this tradition. It is now the end of July. In August, you can enjoy osmanthus flowers, and in September, you can enjoy golden chrysanthemums. They are all good reasons to treat guests. You must do it once.

Host, hold a big banquet. The potted flowers on your own hot spring village can be put to use. In this way, no one will talk about the wilting flowers and trees in Suning County Prince's Mansion, right?

However, Zhao Mo said to Qin Hanzhen: "The banquet is not urgent. It is not a good time now."

Qin Han was really puzzled: "What happened?" They got married and had just had a dinner party.

Zhao Mo explained to Qin Hanzhen that it was normal for marriages to be held and large banquets to be held. Many princes, nobles and officials in Beijing held weddings normally, and as long as the regulations were not exceeded, no one could fault him. However,

Normal banquets are another matter. The current situation in Beijing and central China is not very good. Months of heavy rain have caused Zhili's autumn grain harvest to be lost, and the price of grain in the market has soared.

In order to stabilize food prices, the imperial court has spent a lot of effort. At present, it seems that the situation is under control, but the powerful officials in the central court basically know that the food prices this year are second to none, and there is always food from the south that can fill the food vacancy in the capital.

The problem is that the Beirong border is unstable. In order to ensure that the troops stationed in the border town do not go hungry, the food supply must be sufficient.

Zhao Mo had just returned from the south and knew some of the inside information more clearly. At present, the Beirong army was ready to move on the border. They also sent spies south to inquire about news about the dynasty, pretending to be merchants, and purchasing large quantities of rice, grain, cloth, and wine.

, medicinal materials and other military supplies. It is obvious that Beirong is not only aware of the court's movements, but also knows that Zhili's autumn grain harvest has been lost. The court originally thought that there might be a battle with Beirong next spring, but now looking at it, maybe Beirong

Will attack in advance...

Zhao Mo said to Qin Hanzhen: "Many people in the court know this in their hearts. Even though it seems that they are still singing and dancing outside, in fact, the officials in the court seem to have a string in their hearts, always paying attention to the movements on the border. This kind of

At that time, if our county and princes still hold big banquets, some people will look displeased with us. Several princes have already decided to cancel their regular banquets this autumn, so we can just follow suit. When the border is calmed down, how many of us will

Can’t the host do it?”

Qin Hanzhen understood: "This is what it should be. In fact, if it weren't for this tradition in the clan, I wouldn't necessarily want to be the host. When I was at home, I also helped my grandmother and mother do good deeds for the sake of the family.

Together with other officials and their families, they are giving soup and medicine and coordinating the accounts. Those who were affected by the heavy rain are still worried about three meals a day, but I have to throw a big banquet, and I feel quite guilty."

Zhao Mo smiled and touched her face: "You are always so soft-hearted." Then he reminded her, "My good princess, you made a mistake just now. This is your home. What you just meant is

Your natal family, right?"

Qin Hanzhen said angrily: "My mother's family is my husband's family, what's wrong with it?" He stared straight at Zhao Mo's face, with a posture of "If you say something wrong, I will never end it with you."

Zhao Mo touched his nose: "Okay, whatever you say is right." The groom said that he gave up and could not argue with his wife.

Qin Hanzhen curled his lips with satisfaction: "You are smart!"

The young couple chatted and laughed after dinner, and Zhao Mo took Qin Hanzhen back to the bedroom.

Qin Hanzhen turned around and saw Qingdai and Feng'er snickering, and gently tugged on Zhao Mo's hand holding hers: "Why are you going back to the room so early? Let's go for a walk in the yard?"

Zhao Mo turned around and looked at her with a smile: "There is not only one thing that can be done in the room. My good princess, although I think the wedding night was very enjoyable, I feel sorry for you and will not let you go too far.

I'm tired. After all, I have to go home tomorrow." If the daughter-in-law is too tired and makes her father-in-law dissatisfied, wouldn't it be him who is unlucky?

Qin Hanzhen blushed and spat at him: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "Actually, you can understand, so that's why you said that about me, right?"

Qin Hanzhen blushed and stopped talking. She should have known a long time ago that the older Zhao Mo gets, the thicker his skin becomes. How could she defeat him...

Zhao Mo looked as if nothing had happened and pulled Qin Hanzhen into the west end room. There were large cupboards all over the floor, which were used as a private storeroom for Qin Hanzhen. Qin Hanzhen only knew about his dowry.

The fine objects in the house, including jewelry, clothing, furs, medicinal materials, antique calligraphy and paintings, epigraphic books, etc., are all here. However, because I married so short ago, I haven’t had time to clean them yet, and I don’t know what is in the west end room.

Put something away.

Maybe asking Feng'er will make it clearer?

However, Zhao Mo pulled her to a screen, opened the cloth covering the screen, and asked her to look at the pattern on the screen: "Do you recognize this?"

Qin Hanzhen took a closer look and recognized it. The thing inside the glass screen was the second picture of the Longfu Temple Fair that she had drawn. It might not be accurate to say that it was a picture of a temple fair. It was actually a picture of her relationship with the temple fair.

Zhao Mo walked all the way from the temple fair to Qianweiju, making eye contact with each other. She secretly completed this painting as a private gift, and then secretly sent it to Zhao Mo.

Unexpectedly, he would turn this painting into a screen. And look at the size and style of this floor-to-ceiling glass screen...

Qin Han really had a guess: "Are you planning to put this outside?" She blushed as she said it, "Forget it if you are a member of the family, if outsiders see it... I'd be embarrassed." She really put the two of them away.

The "adultery" between people is clearly drawn.

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "Who wants to let outsiders see it? I want to put this in the bedroom, put it five feet in front of the bed, let's watch it every day, okay? If there weren't so many people here yesterday, I would

Just move this screen to the new house." He pulled Qin Hanzhen to squat down, "Look carefully, is this screen well made?"

Of course the screen is well made, but is he being a little too deliberate in asking this? Is there something wrong with the screen?

Qin Hanzhen also imitated Zhao Mo and squatted down, got closer to take a look, and soon discovered the clue: "The mounting technology of this painting... is a bit rough?" She looked at Zhao Mo's expression, "You can't find an outsider.

Someone framed it, could it be that... you framed it yourself?!"

Zhao Mo touched his nose with some embarrassment: "Is it very rough? I have studied very hard for more than half a year, and I can only do this... In fact, I also know that my talent is not very good, and I can't compare with my grandfather, but

This is much better than when I first learned it. I will often frame your paintings in the future, right? The more you do it, the more you will become proficient in it."

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled, then leaned into his ear and said: "It doesn't matter, I like it if you made it by yourself. Even the best framer in the capital can't make it more pleasing to me."

Zhao Mo looked at her eyebrows and couldn't help but move closer and kissed her lips.
