: Shortcomings

After the tea party, Qin Hanzhen took the lotus pistils and walked home through the small door, watching the scenery while walking. In late autumn, the roses planted in the Wanxiang Pavilion were still blooming, and the wind brought bursts of fragrance.

It makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Qin Hanzhen has been away from home for a long time. Now that he has nothing to do, he asked Lianrui about the recent news of the two mansions. It was just a way of entertainment on the way. Because at today's tea party, the sisters talked about the two cousins.

Before the wedding, Lian Rui first told Qin Hanzhen the rumors about this.

The eldest brother is really looking for someone to marry Qin Jinhua. Since the family has been divided, Qin Jinhua's marriage does not have to be ranked after his cousin Qin Jinyi. She will be pregnant in April next year, and now it is time to look for someone early. When she finds a suitable match

As soon as she and her hairpin ceremony are completed next year, the two parties can officially get engaged. The next step is to prepare for marriage, which will take a year or two. Marriage at the age of sixteen or seventeen is the best age.

As for the eldest brother Qin Jian who is ahead of her, it is easy to handle. Although he is almost eighteen years old, it is not a big deal for a boy to get married later. Qin Jian has now obtained the title of scholar and will return to school next fall.

It's time to take the provincial examination, and now is the time to study hard. Qin Zhonghai and Yao's wife are both hoping that he will pass the examination next year. With the title of Juren, it will be more dignified for them to get married in the future, and maybe their future daughter-in-law's family background will be better.

It can be better. Therefore, they plan to settle the marriage of their eldest daughter first, and then consider their son. As for the concubine Qin Su, who is already fifteen years old this year, Yao is too lazy to pay attention to it, and Qin Zhonghai will not consider it for the time being, so

He is still continuing to study hard.

As for the families Qin Zhonghai and Yao wanted to talk to Qin Jinhua, there were a few. The rumors changed every few days. Lian Rui was just picking up the noise among the girls and women, so she couldn't say for sure. But there were a few families.

, it is said that it is very likely, but she does know something about it.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is the Xu family. The natal family of the Xu family, the wife of Marquis Chengen, has two great-nephews who have not yet married, and they are both talented enough to be worthy of Qin Jinhua.

The eldest among them, Xu Zheng, is nineteen years old this year, and his marriage has not been decided until today. The reason is the same as Qin Jian. However, he has obtained the title of Juren, and is a famous young Juren in the capital. He is handsome and talented, and is very popular.

People respect him. The Xu family hopes that he can pass the high school examination in the year after next. A Jinshi in his early twenties is also a high-ranking figure in this dynasty. Are you still afraid that you will not be able to marry a lady from a famous family? Because of his excellence,

Yao, who used to be somewhat disgusted with him, began to feel better about him. Although they were older, Xu Zheng and Qin Jinhua were childhood sweethearts and cousins, so they got along more harmoniously than strangers.

In the past, the only people that the Yao family could appreciate were the children of the Wang family and the Yao family. But now almost all the Wang family has returned to their hometown, leaving only the eldest son, Fourth Master Wang, and a few children from other branches in the capital. The former went to the Imperial College to study.

, to prepare for the Second Impact Examination, the latter worked as a low-level official in Beijing. It is said that the entire street where the Wang family originally lived is almost empty, and it is incomparable to when it was prosperous in the past. Even if the Wang family

Nowadays, it is still a family of officials, with many children serving as officials and several distinguished in-laws in the capital. After all, it is not as good as before. The Yao family has never mentioned that she wants to marry her daughter back to the Wang family.

The family was rejected by Qin Zhonghai because they were too close by blood. Since both families were not successful, the Xu family naturally fell into the eyes of the Yao family.

Xu Zheng's excellence can be seen by everyone. He is obviously a relative of his own, and he has watched him grow up since he was a child. Since he is not engaged yet, there is no reason to watch him taking advantage of others.

There is also Xu Rong, he is fifteen years old this year, only one year older than Qin Jinhua. In terms of age, he is more suitable. He is good-looking and gentle. He has always been very considerate and caring in front of the sisters.

But when it comes to talent and learning, he is inferior to his brother Xu Zheng. He is still just a boy, not even as talented as Qin Jian. Therefore, although Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu are very enthusiastic about joining Cheng

The Yao family still felt that the marriage between Enhou Mansion was not satisfactory.

Today, Xu Zheng, a pair of brothers from the Xu family, is so outstanding that the Yao family likes it, but Mrs. Xu wants to marry her grandson a wife with a better family background and more outstanding talents; Xu Rong's parents are very satisfied with Qin Jinhua, but the Yao family

They also thought that he was not as good as Xu Zheng. The two families kept in contact with each other as usual on the surface, but in private they had been involved in many lawsuits. Mrs. Xu, the Marquis of Chengen, once thought about arranging a matchmaking relationship, but her sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, did not agree with Xu.

Zheng's marriage to Qin Jinhua was arranged, but another marriage was proposed as an alternative - Xu Zheng's biological sister Xu Xiu was assigned to Qin Jian. It was still a close marriage between the two families, and everyone was happy.

Yao was not happy again. She felt that her son was also very outstanding, and she wanted him to marry a well-rounded wife. What did Xu Xiu have? She could like Xu Zheng because Xu Zheng was outstanding, not

Take a fancy to the Xu family's family background.

Now the two families are still at a standstill.

Lian Rui told Qin Hanzhen: "Actually, the second mistress of the Xu family came to see Madam. She heard that she was mentioned again and wanted to tell her son. She showed some interest, but Madam refused on the spot.

, the second mistress of the Xu family never mentioned this matter again. Afterwards, when she met others, she pretended to be nothing."

Qin Han was really surprised: "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard my grandmother talk about it?"

Lian Rui smiled and said: "This is just a trivial matter. I'm afraid Madam doesn't take it to heart at all. Why bother talking about it to the girl? In fact, it was the second mistress of the Xu family who didn't pay attention. Prince Suning is getting close to the girl now.

Well, the girl's future has been decided for a long time, so how can it be her turn to get their son? Madam Marquis had already refused back then, and she still refused to give up. If she insisted on asking again, she would be asking for the disgrace."

Qin Hanzhen spat at her: "What nonsense are you talking about? When talking about the Xu family, why did it end up with Cousin Zhao? When was my future decided? Why didn't I know?!"

Lianrui covered her mouth and chuckled: "I'm sorry, girl. In fact, our family knows this, so you don't have to hide it."

Qin Hanzhen was angry and funny: "What do you know?! Shut up!"

Lianrui covered her mouth with a handkerchief, smiled and said nothing more. Qin Hanzhen glared at her a few times, but his face was already hot, thinking that he had returned to his home, and if any servants came by and saw him,

It was easy to cause trouble, so he turned around and walked directly to his yard without saying a word.

Back in the room, Qin Hanzhen was still a little embarrassed. Zhao Mo had never returned to the capital since he went to Jiangnan that year. Lian Rui hadn't seen him in so many years. What could he know? There would be her and Zhao

Mo's gossip, isn't it because of the letters and gifts he sends every year?! It's just the letters, they often discuss serious matters, but the gifts... Even to his biological sister, there is no reason to be so attentive, let alone giving them.

Many of the things that came here were of great value, exquisite and rare, and they were made with a lot of thought.

Just like the rich and handsome men in modern society pursue girls and give them flowers, clothes and jewelry to please them. On the other hand, Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County in ancient times, sent pots of rare species or flowers by his own hands.

The potted plants he cultivated; the clothes he gave were winter coats made from the furs special to Suning in autumn and winter, or they were tribute materials given by the palace, and he shared part of them; as for the jewelry, they were all high-end custom-made, so I don’t know.

Mentioned. The Suning Prince's Mansion is now no better than when Zhao Mo first went there. It already has a grand mansion. The palace is equipped with all the subordinate officials, entourage, and personal guards. There are also private craftsmen specially recruited by Zhao Mo. Customized farm tools are not included.

After all, let alone just a few pieces of jewelry?

Zhao Mo has been a vassal for three and a half years. He has never left the fiefdom or gone to Beijing. He just stayed patiently in the fiefdom and farmed. However, he never failed to pay tribute to the palace during the holidays.

His father, the crown prince of Liao Dynasty, Zhao Shuo, just gave gifts as usual. On the other hand, the Yongjia Marquis Mansion kept sending letters and gifts almost every month. Zhao Mo never concealed such behavior, and the palace did not say anything.

There was no sound from the other side, and Qin Bai and Niu also acquiesced. Although Qin Hanzhen always felt that this seemed to violate the rules that her cousin Wu Shaoying reminded her to abide by, her grandparents thought it was nothing, so how could she do it inappropriately?

Raise an objection?

As a result, she didn't know what was being discussed outside, but within the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, everyone seemed to think that she was destined to marry Zhao Mo and become Princess Suning.

"Cunning little bastard!" Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but cursed secretly. His face turned red and he couldn't help but want to hit someone. It's a pity that Zhao Mo wasn't here, otherwise she would really get angry at him. At this point, she

Who still doesn’t know that Zhao Mo did this intentionally? Because he was trapped in Suning County and couldn’t get out, and he couldn’t always be with her like before, so in order to prevent someone from getting there first, he actually deliberately spread such rumors.

, to make everyone misunderstand that there is an engagement between them, so that no one will show up to propose marriage to her without any hesitation. Even if they are such a person without any hesitation, once they are rejected, they will easily retreat and never mention it again.

How old is this child? He is obviously the age of a high school student, so why is he so obsessed with it?

If he could give birth to such a son, how could I, Zhao Shuo, be so stupid as he is today? Zhao Mo had obviously told his confidants that Lan Xue and Lan Fusheng were having problems, but Lan Xue is still living a good life.

In his backyard, it is said that he is still favored and favored, and his son is still favored by Zhao Shuo. Even Lan Fusheng is rumored to be coming back from Liaodong. I really don’t know what these two people fed Zhao Shuo.

Mi|Soul Soup was actually able to coax him into submission.

Even the little Wang, whom Zhao Shuo had planned to abandon for a long time, still stayed in his position as his first wife. Zhao Mo had also suspected that sooner or later, he would kill the little Wang and marry another famous lady.

As a result, little Wang is safe and sound so far, but she is still not pregnant. However, the Queen Mother in the palace, I wonder if she thought that she was injured because she saved her in the first place, so she has always been very kind to her, and from time to time she will give her rewards from the palace.

Bring some things down. With Xiao Wang having such a backer, it’s no wonder Zhao Shuo didn’t dare to touch her.

Zhao Shuo is still the eldest son of the Liao Dynasty. When Zhao Mo was awarded the title of county prince, he submitted two offers, one to thank his son, and one to invite him back to Liaodong to celebrate his father's birthday. To apologize or something, that was

What? He didn't seem to know anything. Anyway, the emperor readily let him go back to Liaodong and asked him to rectify military affairs.

He left his wife, concubines, and children behind, and returned to Liaodong. He stayed there for two years, but did not achieve anything. However, he had a somewhat tense relationship with several generals. With his father, stepmother, and two brothers holding him back, he achieved almost nothing.

After returning to the capital, he has become much more honest since then. He doesn't have any serious errands now, but whenever the emperor has something to do, he will let him help, barely being an idler. What kind of status and authority? He has nothing to do with it.

Not on!

His former glory was, firstly, due to the Holy Family, and secondly, to the Wang family. Now that the Wang family is gradually dispersing and the Holy Family is no longer there, Zhao Shuo has just restored the treatment he should have had. How can it be surprising that a good hand of cards can be played like this?

Who is going?
