Qin Hanzhen's subsequent life was actually not as busy as she expected.

She has filial piety, so she cannot enter the palace. No other prince's palace, princess's palace, or royal family's palace will invite her to any banquet or party without looking at her. She lacks interpersonal communication and entertainment matters.

, even if she has to go back to her parents' house frequently to visit her grandparents, father, stepmother, and siblings, she won't go back every day. There is a funeral in the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion, so she doesn't need to go there and sit around all the time. Therefore, she needs to be busy.

All that is left is the various affairs of his own county and prince's palace. Wouldn't that make him feel free?

Two days later, the new king's decree of reward for Zhao Mo came down. As Zhao Mo said, Gaoyang County was also allocated to him as a fief. Although the place was small, it was not considered rich, and it did not even have a population.

There are many people, but the location is very good. The government and the public once again understood the royal family's favor and love for Suning County Prince-now Suyang County Prince-Zhao Mo. Even if Zhao Mo is still young and of lower generation, there is no

No matter how much people dare to underestimate him, they will not regard him as a vassal of Yiyang County Prince or Zhao Shuo. Everyone knows that Suyang County Prince is now more powerful than his father, grandfather and elders, but his father, grandfather and uncle

We still have to look up to him.

Originally, Zhao Mo should have become a new celebrity in the capital after receiving this reward. However, on the second day after he received the reward, the youngest son of His Highness King Qin also received the reward. This young master was still young.

, but when faced with the attack of the Beirong army, he beheaded more than ten people by himself. Among the children of the clan today, there is no one more brave than him. The new king intends to recruit someone from the clan.

As a rising star, he regarded him as a model of "brave martial arts" and showed his admiration for him everywhere, so as to encourage other clan members to learn from him and share the worries of the imperial court.

Of course, the King of Qin was very strict in raising his children, and his youngest son was also a good young man with an upright heart. He never lost his sense of propriety because of the new king's disapproval. He still abided by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. He was never proud or complacent before or after him.

This time, the youngest son of the King of Qin was officially conferred the title of Duke. Although the fiefdom is in the southwest, its area is more than ten times larger than that of Suning and Gaoyang counties combined. And the royal family is obviously very kind to the new Duke, regardless of

Whether it was the Supreme Emperor or the Supreme Empress Dowager, they would summon him to the palace every two days to talk. Even everyone in the court knew that the Prince of Qin's Palace was deeply trusted by two generations of kings, and it was reasonable for his legitimate son to receive such treatment in the capital.

, but the new county king suddenly became the most popular nobleman's son in the capital.

He will also get married next, marrying a Princess of Qin who will look after him in person. The Empress Dowager will marry the daughter of the Duke's Palace. It will probably be a lively event for three or two months.

With the comparison of this new celebrity, Zhao Mode's reward is relatively less conspicuous. In addition, Qin Hanzhen has been wearing clothes recently and cannot often appear in public to socialize with others. He himself is not a keen

When it comes to socializing, except for necessary occasions, he is usually either in the palace or in the palace of his own county and prince. He is very low-key. Therefore, the limelight is taken away by the youngest son of King Qin.

Of course Zhao Mo doesn't care about this, but is happy to spend more time with his wife. It's just that the weather is getting hotter day by day, and Qin Hanzhen has no intention of always being tired of being with her husband. She has finished her busy work at the prince's palace and the fiefdom

After finishing her affairs, she went to the small buildings in the other courtyard that Zhao Mo had specially built for her to sort out her collection of books, calligraphy, paintings and curios.

Now that they have a new fiefdom, even if all handover matters can be left to the officials and the palace stewards, as landlords, they cannot fail to take a look in person and appease the local officials and people. Zhao Mo is in Suning County

Their reputation has always been very good, and there is no reason not to continue to win over people in Gaoyang County. Sooner or later, they will go to the new fiefdom for a walk, and if they can't find a way, they will go back to the Prince's Mansion in Suning. If they leave the capital by then, they will need to stay on the fiefdom.

If you stay here for a long time, the things in these small buildings must be sorted out. Whether you should take them away or leave them behind needs to be carefully considered.

Zhao Mo watched helplessly as his wife left him and went to the small building. She was so busy that her head was covered with dust, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Han really saw that he was pitiful, so she had no choice but to comfort him, and finally made him happy again. As for the method she used to successfully coax him, I won't go into details.

The days passed peacefully and peacefully. Seeing that Xu's Sanqi was approaching, because the weather was getting hotter, even if they diligently added ice, they could not block the smell at the back of the mourning hall. Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao discussed and planned to bury their mother as soon as possible.

, buried in peace. Qin Bai had no objections to this matter, and no one from the second room would listen to any opinions, so the matter was settled.

In fact, even if the mourning period at home was not too long, Mrs. Xu could be regarded as having a moment of glory after her death. Nowadays, those who come to offer incense and worship for her are no longer just relatives and friends of the Chengenhou Mansion. Except for the three members of the Qin family

After all the in-laws, relatives, friends, and old acquaintances of the house came, even friends of Qin Kewen and Qin Kelun's brother who were stranded in the capital also came. There were also the clan members, royal relatives, and nobles who came to pay their respects to Qin Bai.

Officials and scholars, and even the homes of brothers Wu Shaoying and Wang Fuzhong and Wang Fulin, heard the news and sent people to express their condolences - the new king's ascension did not affect Wang Fuzhong's status, but there were signs that he was being taken more seriously. The new king had no intention of giving up.

Wang Fuzhong has been like the second master Wang all his life. He was detained in front of the emperor as a small servant. Arrangements have been made for him to be sent out to important state capitals to serve as pastoral guards. If nothing happens, Wang Fuzhong will return to the central government ten or eight years later.

This is someone who is going to join the ministry and become a court official. A serious cabinet reserve will have a bright future.

With so many guests coming to pay their respects, even though Xu's posthumous glory really surprised everyone in the Chengenhou Mansion. They all knew in their hearts that this was all thanks to Qin Bai from the third room. Now Qin Song is unreliable.

Since Mr. Xu is deceased, they will still need to rely on Qin Bai in many places in the future, so they respect him even more.

The day of Xu's funeral was in the midsummer season of May. Because they were afraid that the elderly would be susceptible to heatstroke, Qin Ping and Qin Zhonghai both persuaded Qin Bai and Niu not to accompany them, but to let brothers Qin Ping and Qin An act as representatives, and as for the female family members, Xiao Feng was alone.

He came forward and accompanied everyone in the Chengenhou Mansion to send Xu's coffin out of the city and bury it in the auspicious place that had been chosen.

Although the ancestral home of the Qin family is in Jiangning, even the remains of the Guan family were sent back, and the Xu family should be treated the same. However, the Marquis of Chengen has no intention of traveling so far away for the time being. Considering the inconvenience of worshiping in the future, they decided to

The area around the capital was buried.

When the coffin left the city, it could be said that snow-white paper money was flying all over the sky, and the sound of crying was loud all the way. The filial sons, filial sons, filial sons, filial daughter-in-law, filial nephews, all walked behind the coffin with sad expressions, plus the grief-stricken girl.

Mother-in-laws, musicians who played music, experts who were hired to mourn, and all kinds of entourage, there was a huge queue, almost a mile long in front and back, and the scene was grand. Relatives and friends from all the families set up funerals on the roadside.

After entering the sacrificial shed, most of them belonged to the most powerful families at the moment, so many passers-by came to watch and talked privately. They all lamented that Mrs. Xu of Chengenhou was really a great blessing, and so on.

In such a scene, only a few people noticed that among the rows of sacrificial sheds, a very inconspicuous Xu family sacrificial shed was squeezed in. Xu Zheng took his wife Lu to host the road sacrifice, but Cheng En

The people from the Hou Mansion passed by him, and no one turned to look at him. He was not the kind of smooth-talking person, and he had a guilty conscience, so he just finished the salute in silence. He just saw the funeral procession had completely passed by.

, and no one paid any attention to him, and he still felt a little disappointed.

Mrs. Lu remained expressionless and calm. She turned around and ordered the servants who followed her to clean up the sacrificial tent, and then said to Xu Zheng: "Father has already found a place in his hometown. My husband, please choose a day to leave. I will accompany you there."

First, I will study quietly for a year at my parents’ house, and learn from my father about the officialdom. If you can successfully become that gentleman’s disciple after one year, you will be able to take the imperial examination the year after next. At home,

I will take care of everything for you, so you don’t have to worry about it. Although my father-in-law is reluctant to let you go, he has no reason to stop your future. If you explain the matter clearly to your father-in-law, he will naturally not force you to stay at home."

Xu Zheng lowered his head and said, "I know, Madam, you have troubled yourself." But he hesitated, "It's just that only my father and my sister and aunt are left at home... If something happens, we husband and wife can't be here to serve, it really doesn't matter.

What?"

Lu said coldly: "I have something to do and my second wife is here. They are both close relatives and neighbors. If we can't handle it properly, how can it be done if my husband is at home? My father came up with this idea for the sake of my husband.

If you feel something is inappropriate, just pretend that my father never mentioned it."

Xu Zheng hurriedly shut up. His father-in-law was doing it for his own good, and he still knew what was good for him. If he refused, his wife might really want to divorce him. Although he was reluctant to leave, he also knew that he would stay at home and not leave.

There may be some progress. His father still hopes that he can stand out and shine, so what does a temporary separation mean? Sooner or later, he will leave that home.

Xu Zheng and the Lu family returned home on their own. The Qin family members also arrived at the outskirts smoothly and buried the Xu family.

After everything was done, the accompanying people dispersed, and most of the people from each house stayed in a nearby temple and rested quietly for a night. After crying for a long time and walking such a long way, everyone

They were all very tired. Even Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo, who had come with them, moved into a small village near their own county prince's residence and had a good rest for the day.

When they returned to the city the next day, Qin Hanzhen had just seen off his father and uncle, and was talking to his grandparents. He planned to go back to his home with Zhao Mo after seeing his stepmother and brother. Then he heard Dongbian Cheng say

People from the Enhou Mansion came to report in panic: "It's not good! The third master, the third lady, our master, he... he, he, he... is dead!"

Everyone in the Yongjia Hou Mansion couldn't help but be shocked: "What?!"

Qin Bai was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Qin Ping hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "What's going on? How could someone who was fine yesterday suddenly die?!"

But the man had a sad face, as if it was difficult to say anything, and said hesitantly: "Fourth Master, please go and see for yourself, this matter is really..."

Qin Ping's face darkened.
