In fact, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo couldn't prepare much. At most, they just made some unique refreshments and looked for two more freshly designed nine-ring rings, Kong Mingsuo and the like to pass the time. During the banquet, they did not

Maybe they are all used for having fun, but most of the time is still spent reading and practicing calligraphy.

Brother Zi is still here. Even if it is to set a good example for his little brother, Qin Hanzhen cannot waste his time too much.

However, thanks to the Kongming Lock that Zhao Mo bought a few days ago, Qin Han really felt that her skills in this ancient intellectual toy had improved a lot. The ordinary six Kongming Locks or the ordinary nine-link chain were not a problem for her. She

She began to feel that the toys she currently had access to were not challenging. If she could find more difficult models, she might have more fun.

However, Qin Hanzhen had dismantled all the nine-link rings owned by the sisters in Chengenhou's residence. Only the easier ones had never appeared. Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun both looked straight at it and said: "

How did you think of it? It was dismantled so quickly!" But they didn't know where to find the more difficult ones. This kind of toys was usually not sent from the outer courtyard, but the brothers saw it on the street when they went out and bought it.

Made as a gift.

On the contrary, among the old Qin cypress belongings stored in the B-zi library, there are several nine-link rings made of jade or gold, which were made in-house. They were specially made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the previous dynasty for the little princes and princesses to play with in the palace. Today,

The Holy Emperor was still the Prince of the East Palace at that time, so he gave a few to his brother-in-law to play with. Qin Bai had been studying since he was a child. In fact, he was already past the age of playing with these things, so he put them away and didn't play with them much. This time he cleaned up C

He didn't pay much attention to the objects in the library. He just picked them up when he saw them and sent them to his granddaughter.

Such nine-link rings are very valuable, and there are two more difficult ones. But Qin Han really doesn't dare to get rid of such expensive items. The jade ring is so thin and thin, she is really afraid that it will fall apart with just a little force.

It was broken. But if he left it alone, Qin Hanzhen felt as if his heart had been scratched by a cat's claws. His obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn't bear it!

Just when she was struggling, Zhao Mo gave her an idea: "Let's find a better carpenter who can do fine work. Show him this jade ring and ask him to make a copy of it out of wood. Let's

How about playing with the wooden one first, and then after taking it apart, go to the jade one?"

Qin Hanzhen hesitated: "Is this possible?"

"It should be possible." Zhao Mo said, "It is made of wood, and it is carved from a whole piece of wood. As long as the skills are outstanding enough, there won't be much difficulty. However, this jade chain is expensive and the style is complicated, so it is impossible to leave it in the hands of a strange craftsman.

.The best thing is to find a place for the craftsman to live in and make the jade ring. Once the work is done, the worker will be paid directly before letting him go. In this way, there is no need to worry that the craftsman will steal the jade ring."

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "We have a Zhuangzi now, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a place. But where can we find this craftsman? We are in the capital, but we don't know anyone. Even if I ask my grandparents,

Or you can ask your cousin, it's probably the same thing. Or... I'll go back and ask Xia Qing to help find out? Her family is native to Beijing, so she must know more than us."

While the two were discussing, there was a commotion in the yard outside, but it was Wu Shaoying who came back from Longfu Temple. The Dragon Boat Festival banquet at Chengenhou Mansion was originally meant to celebrate Qin Bai's title. As Qin Bai's disciple, he

, naturally wanted to come and help.

Qin Hanzhen watched his cousin walk through the yard and went directly to the main house. He turned back and smiled at Zhao Mo: "Okay, here is someone who can help find out what happened. My cousin is here, let's

Is there anything that can’t be done?”

Zhao Mo also smiled and said: "My cousin is right, it is really convenient for us to do things with Mr. Wu here, and we have a boy running errands outside." This is Li Zi.

Li Zi unloaded large and small bags in the yard. These were brought here specially by Wu Shaoying. They must be gifts for teacher Qin Bai. Qin Hanzhen took a few glances and didn't know what was in them, so he wanted to take them with him.

Zhao Mo went to the main room to ask.

Zhao Mo waved his hand and said: "Mr. Wu is back and he must be anxious to see his cousin. You can talk to your family and I won't disturb you."

Qin Han really thought about it and said, "When my cousin is free, I will tell him about it." After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "My cousin has been in the capital for a few years, so I must have a few."

I'm a friend. I'll ask him to take you to meet him tomorrow. My cousin's friends must be trustworthy, more reliable and less snobbish than the young men introduced by my cousin."

Zhao Mo laughed dumbly. Although he felt that Qin Hanzhen's suggestion was too naive, he felt warm in his heart. The little cousin was worried that he had no friends.

Qin Hanzhen ran into the main room and saw that Wu Shaoying had just met Qin Bai and Niu. The three of them had smiles on their faces. Wu Shaoying looked good and quite rosy, so she happily said to him

He saluted and said hello, and said angrily: "My cousin hasn't been back for a long time. I miss you."

Wu Shaoying smiled and touched her head: "Cousin, please concentrate on studying. A few days ago, after the decree was issued to knight the teacher, I actually came back once to congratulate the teacher, but the teacher drove him back. At that time

Since you were not in Qingfeng Pavilion, I couldn't see you. But my cousin misses you very much. I heard that you have started school? What have you studied? "

Qin Hanzhen briefly talked about his homework, and Wu Shaoying said with admiration: "I have heard about it for a long time, and I know that the reputation of the boudoir school in Chengenhou Mansion is well-deserved, but I don't know if it is worthy of the name. After listening to you today, I know that the reputation is well-deserved. Sister Sang

Son, you must study hard, it’s rare to have a famous teacher teach you, so you can’t live up to such a good blessing."

Qin Hanzhen agreed and asked, "How many days will my cousin stay in the house?"

Wu Shaoying hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Bai. Qin Bai said: "You still have to focus on your studies now. These interpersonal interactions and courteous exchanges are handled by the stewards of the house. My son and nephews and nieces are also very capable.

, there is no need for you to worry about it. Just concentrate on your studies. If you can achieve good results next spring and let me have a second Hanlin disciple, I will be happy."

Wu Shaoying smiled sheepishly and said, "Teacher, don't worry, the students will definitely live up to your expectations."

Qin Bai nodded with satisfaction.

Niu was a little dissatisfied and complained: "You always ask Shaoying to study hard, and the children are obedient and do as you say. I have been staying in Longfu Temple for so many days, with no good food or housing. I don't know how much I have suffered."

Bitter trouble. Now that I have finally come back to see you, you still have to push me. How can you be a good teacher who cares about students? Didn’t you say before that you should combine work and rest when studying? The house is very happy these two days, so let the young master

Ying stayed for two days to replenish his body and have a good holiday. When the Dragon Boat Festival is over, it won't be too late for him to go back. It's still more than half a year before next spring. If someone calls you "teacher", you can't

You won’t even let people pass the festival, right?!”

Qin Bai coughed twice, raised his eyes and looked at Wu Shaoying: "Then let's rest for two days, and then go back to the temple after the festival."

Wu Shaoying pursed her lips, smiled, and saluted respectfully: "Yes, teacher."

Wu Shaoying was very happy to have a holiday and quickly asked Li Zi to bring the gift in for Qin Bai to see.

Qin Bai lectured again: "You're just here to congratulate me, what kind of gift should I give you? I know you have some wealth, but you also need to be frugal. The capital is not as good as Wubao. You are now concentrating on preparing for exams and not doing production. You don't know how to be frugal.

Are we going to sit back and have nothing but nothing?!"

Wu Shaoying apologized and said with a smile: "Teacher, out of anger, only one of these gifts was actually given by a student. The rest were gifts from Senior Brother Wang, but they were just handed over through the hands of students. The teacher was overjoyed, and Senior Brother Wang was also going to come to congratulate him.

It’s just that the teacher didn’t post it for him. He was worried that the teacher had taboos, so he didn’t dare to speak out and entrusted the students with the things.”

When he learned that it was a congratulatory gift from Wang Fuzhong, Qin Bai's expression softened a little, and he sighed: "It's just as expensive for him to give it! If you have this intention, it's enough. There is really no need to be so polite."

Wu Shaoying said with a smile: "The Wang family always gave gifts to teachers during festivals in previous years. This year, because the teacher came to the capital, the Wang family had no chance to express themselves, so Senior Brother Wang himself had to come forward. You don't have to worry about anything, it's the Dragon Boat Festival.

Isn’t it normal for students to give Dragon Boat Festival gifts to their teachers?”

Qin Bai shook his head: "It was just a failure in the past, but now... after all, your senior brother Wang is on duty in front of the emperor."

Wu Shaoying said: "If the teacher is worried that Senior Brother Wang will violate taboos by doing this, he is overly worried. Senior Brother Wang personally told me that the Emperor knew that he was under the teacher's disciples and treated him a little closer than before. In his free time

, and you often talk to him about your youth. Senior Brother Wang said that he has never seen the emperor so happy, it must be because the teacher finally returned to the capital."

Qin Bai was startled and smiled slightly. He and the emperor's brother-in-law had misunderstood each other's thoughts. If they had known that all the concerns in their hearts were misunderstandings and had reunited earlier, how wonderful would it have been? Fortunately,

It's not too late now.

Thinking of this, Qin Bai hesitated for a moment before asking Wu Shaoying: "Have you met your senior brother Wang? Was it in Longfu Temple? What did he say to you?"

Wu Shaoying replied: "It was in the temple that Senior Brother Wang came to see me in person, but he only said that he came to the temple to worship Buddha. He didn't say anything, he just mentioned the current situation and talked about the emperor and the teacher.

That's all. When he works in front of the emperor, he has taboos about what he says and does, and he doesn't dare to mention it." He looked at Qin Bai, "Teacher, do you want to ask him something?"

Qin Bai smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Wang Fuzhong has been in front of the emperor for a long time and knows the situation in the palace better than people outside. I just want to ask... How is the Prince of the East Palace doing now? I have been back to Beijing these days.

I have been to the palace twice, but I have never been able to meet the prince, so I feel a little uneasy."

"Prince?" Wu Shaoying hesitated.

Qin Bai hurriedly asked: "What? But is there any bad news?"

Wu Shaoying shook his head and said: "I can't say there is any bad news. Senior Brother Wang hardly mentions the matter in the East Palace in front of others. It's just that I heard some rumors from others, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince's condition has improved since the beginning of spring, but the weather has gradually deteriorated.

It's hot, and it seems a little bad. Now I have gone out of the city to escape the summer heat. It must be because the prince is not in the East Palace, so the emperor did not arrange for the teacher to meet him? "

"Really?" Qin Bai frowned, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
