Chapter 425 Entertainment

Qin Hanzhen only listened to the affairs of the clan house, and learned that Xiao Huang had now lost her power to manage affairs. She could only worry about the daily necessities of the clan house, and had to live under the nose of her mother-in-law Shen every day.

, I don’t have much freedom, and I don’t come out to greet people with a smiling face, so I feel quite happy.

She didn't know what Xiao Huang had done, but she just felt that based on what the other party had done, he was not worthy of continuing to hold power in the clan and show off his power. Now the clan's eldest daughter-in-law, Feng, was taking over the family affairs, although Xiao Huang was the one to the outside world.

Qin Keyong's husband is a director, but he has the word "generation" on his head and has always acted fairly steadily, so there is not much of a problem.

Grandfather Qin Bai once mentioned before that Huang Jincheng was worried about Huang Yiqiu's resemblance to Queen Qin. After Qin Hanzhen made a small suggestion, the matter disappeared. She also pestered her grandfather to ask the follow-up question, Qin Hanzhen

Bai just dismissed her with a smile, which made her feel a little depressed.

However, after such an incident, Qin Hanzhen now has some interest in makeup. She privately whispered to Qingxing about whether to imitate some modern makeup tools and cosmetics and come up with some substitutes. Although she is now young

There’s no need to put on makeup yet, but it’s better to be prepared. She really doesn’t have much confidence in ancient cosmetics. Although they contain purely natural ingredients, there are bound to be substances harmful to the body. Thinking about it, it’s safer to make your own. She used to

I also followed a friend’s online tutorials to tinker with some lipstick, rouge, lotion, etc. Now that she has money and leisure, can’t she copy it?

After all, Qing Xing was someone who had been in a brothel, and she knew a few formulas for powder and spices, but the materials used were not very good. Qin Hanzhen asked for the formulas she knew, and then asked Li Zi to go to Jinling City.

Go around various bookstores, buy some books that record the formulas of cosmetics or skin care products, and do some research on your own.

However, this kind of book is rarely sold now. It is said that it is usually collected privately by wealthy families and passed down from generation to generation. Qin Hanzhen can only rely on some superficial basic recipes and recall what he has learned and done before.

By the way, he tried to find some recipes from his grandfather that he had seen when he was young, and then worked out a recipe of his own. In this process, his grandfather Qin Bake was a big help. He once had Wuyou

He has a carefree life as a young man, and has a good relationship with his sister. He knows how to prepare perfume, and also knows how to make powder that does not hurt the skin, as well as balm for skin care in winter. His knowledge reserve is rich.

Qin Hanzhen and Qingxing had a lot of fun, and Mrs. Niu found out about it and found it interesting. Although she was older, she was also pretty when she was young. She made lipstick and matched it with Aunt Tiger and her servants.

Fragrance balls and the like. Now that I am getting older, my interest in makeup has faded, but I am very interested in skin care products. When I saw that Qin Hanzhen wanted to make some skin care products, he even helped me with suggestions, and I thought I could try them out.

Aunt Wei, who came south with her, was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had been a palace maid. She also knew a lot about this type of knowledge and provided many useful suggestions to Qin Hanzhen.

That’s how Qin Hanzhen’s home cosmetics and skin care product laboratory was set up.

She used to play with the sisters in the clan, but after the previous small turmoil, the interest has faded a lot. She only occasionally posts and invites the sisters to come to the sixth room to have a tea party, chat about household gossip, and comfort them.

Grandma Niu is just happy. Gone are the days of running around and playing wildly with her sisters like before. After all, she is not a real nine or ten-year-old girl. Now she spends more time

At home.

Qin Hanzhen found new fun, and Zhao Mo couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

Although he often went in and out with Qin Jian, Qin Jian often played with his clan brothers in Qinzhuang. He was not willing to attend such occasions.

Firstly, when the boys of the Qin family were gathering, everyone felt uncomfortable when he came with a foreigner; secondly, when he wanted to interact with young men of the same age from the Qin family, he naturally had to reveal his identity, but his

His identity... was troublesome if he really revealed it. He could only vaguely introduce himself as a member of the clan. He lost his mother last year, and his father remarried his stepmother. He didn't like him, so he followed his uncle Qin Bai to the south of the Yangtze River.

That's it. This kind of background introduction prevented the Qin family from making excuses about his identity as the son of a candidate for the crown prince, but accordingly, it also brought another kind of trouble.

There are always people who like to ask him about family affairs. They either kindly give him advice and teach him how to fight wits and courage with his stepmother, or they pity him, comfort him, and then wonder whether it will affect him if he has a stepmother and has a younger brother in the future.

Things like inheriting the family property and title...

Zhao Mo didn't want a few frivolous teenagers to teach him how to fight his stepmother, nor did he want people to pity him, so he had to find an excuse not to accompany Qin Jian to interact with his brothers. He stayed in the six-room ancestral house, but

You can also often ask Qin Bai for advice. But Qin Bai is not there every day, and he always goes out. Now that even Qin Hanzhen has a new pastime, Zhao Mo can only find ways to pass the time by himself.

Recently, he likes to go out alone on horseback, or wander in the fields, or go to the town to drink tea and go shopping. He has rarely had such leisurely times since he was a child, and he has slowly begun to feel a bit of fun.

After going to the town many times, Zhao Mo would inevitably meet his uncle who was born in the Liyang Palace. He was as gentle and kind as ever, and even invited him to have tea and dinner with him. Although Zhao Mo preferred to be alone, he still wanted to be alone.

He only had one confidant with him at most, but the uncle treated him very well and asked him with concern what was worrying him, whether he had enough pocket money on hand, whether he was accustomed to Jiangnan food, and so on. Wait until

When they met for the third time, the uncle took him directly back to his current residence and invited him to have dinner with him.

Zhao Mo told Qin Hanzhen about this in private, and said: "This uncle is really a good person. I had never met him before, so I was still a little wary and always suspected his intentions, but

But he treats me very well. He is knowledgeable and has a good temperament, but it is a pity that he was born in the Liyang Prince's Palace. How come he was born in the Liyang Prince's Palace?"

Qin Hanzhen also had a good impression of Mr. Zhao, but she felt that he was rather mysterious and could not figure out the way out. When Zhao Mo said this, she asked doubtfully: "What happened to the Liyang Prince's Palace? Although he has more children and grandchildren.

, but as long as a person is really capable, he can still get ahead without relying on his family. Isn't the emperor now trying to promote talented juniors in the clan?" I remember that Zhao Mo's father, Zhao Shuo, was in the court for this reason.

emerging among.

Zhao Mo shook his head and paused: "The bloodline of the Liyang Prince's Palace is a little far away from the royal family, and there are many heirs. There are endless disputes in the palace. It is impossible for them to work together to do one thing."

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "Ah?" So what if the bloodline is far away? What does it have to do with the disputes within the palace?

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "We are all descendants of the clan. Which one do you think is more outstanding, uncle, my father, my second uncle, my younger uncle, and the young master from Prince Shu's palace?"

Qin Han really thought about it. Even if she had not met these people in person, she knew them relatively well: "To be honest, I think... Mr. Zhao may be a little stronger and more magnanimous than your father. And your father is better than you."

Uncle, they, and the young master from Prince Shu's Mansion are better."

She somewhat understood what Zhao Mo meant: "You mean... this Young Master Zhao is more suitable to be adopted into the royal family, but because the Liyang Prince's bloodline is far away, it is difficult to be chosen, and because there are many heirs in the Liyang Prince's House, there are no disputes.

Is it absolutely impossible to work together to support his rise to power?"

Zhao Mo did not nod or shake his head, but just sighed and said: "My father is always conceited. In fact, there are more outstanding children in the clan than him, but others may not be as lucky as him. If my uncle wants to compete for the throne,

If I have the opportunity to show off in front of the emperor, I'm afraid my father will have nothing to do with me."

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "What's the point? Everyone has his own ambitions. Do people with outstanding character and talent have to fight for power? What's wrong with being a leisurely cloud and a crane? Look at Mr. Zhao, think about it

I came here just to play in the south of the Yangtze River. If it were your father, would he have such freedom? In fact, I don’t think there is anything good about being an emperor. Maybe he will have more power and be able to take care of more things, but overall

I'm busy with government affairs, and it's quite hard. I don't have the right to privacy, and I'm trapped within the palace walls, with few opportunities to go out. Like the emperor, it's okay to go to the capital for a private visit, but if I want to leave the capital privately,

It's simply a delusion! In comparison, little people like us are much more comfortable. If you grow up in the future, have money and leisure, you will have no problem traveling around the world."

Zhao Mo laughed when he heard this and looked at Qin Hanzhen: "Does my cousin like to travel around the world so much? I often hear you say these days that I want to travel around."

Qin Hanzhen said: "Who doesn't want to walk around and visit various places? You can see the world and have fun at the same time. Are you willing to face the four high walls of the house all day long?"

Zhao Mo thought for a while and said with a smile: "My cousin is right. The capital is not a pleasant place to stay. If I really have money and leisure as my cousin said in the future, I really should go out and see more.

, can broaden your horizons. As my uncle said, it is better to walk thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. If I have never seen the vastness of the world, maybe I will only think about how wronged I am. What does that mean to me?

What are the benefits?”

Qin Hanzhen laughed and asked him: "We are here in Jiangnan now. The season is not right now, otherwise we should go for a walk in the surrounding areas. If it were you, cousin Zhao, where would you like to go?

?Suzhou? Hangzhou? Huzhou? Or Shanghai... no, Songjiang?"

Zhao Mo couldn't help but think seriously: "If I really have the chance, I would like to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou. I often hear how prosperous and good Suzhou and Hangzhou are, but it's a pity that I only visited Jinling briefly." He once talked with him.

Qin Jian accompanied several young men from the Qin clan to visit the scenic spots and historic sites in and around Jinling City, but they only took a quick look at the sights and did not take a closer look.

Qin Hanzhen gave him a suggestion: "It's already October. Our family has acquired several new properties, some in Jiangnan and some in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Now it's time to collect rent and pay the year-end accounts.

Grandfather plans to send Zhou Changnian to take He Xin to inspect various properties. If there are no accidents, these properties will be handed over to He Xin to take care of them in the future. I plan to ask Li Zi to go with his uncle to help me

I'm collecting some souvenirs outside. Would you like to follow me for a run, Cousin Zhao? It's much more convenient for you to go out than for me."

Zhao Mo couldn't help but feel a little moved.
