Chapter 771 Gift
Author: Loeva
Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo stared at Qin Jian blankly, saying nothing for a while.
Qin Jian's face slowly turned red, and she couldn't help but said: "What... I'm serious! Although Grandma Su didn't say it explicitly, I think that's what she meant... And Miss Su, when she saw
I was also shy and blushing but pretending to be calm. I was afraid that I might have misunderstood, so after mother and daughter left, I asked my aunt. My aunt also felt that Grandma Su seemed to have that intention, and told me that this was actually the case.
This is a good thing. Miss Su is beautiful and well-educated. The Zhenxihou Mansion and the Chengenhou Mansion have similar families. The two families are still related by marriage. The relationship between the two families will become stronger as they get closer.
Well, no one will mention the previous twists and turns soon."
Qin Hanzhen said: "Although my aunt's words are not wrong, the relationship between our Qin family and Zhen Xihou and his wife is so troubled now, how can there be any possibility of marriage? Isn't my aunt a little stand-up?
Doesn’t it hurt to talk anymore? Or does she simply think that the closer relationship between the two families will be more beneficial to her situation in her husband’s family? At this time, if the Su family takes the initiative to come to propose marriage, our Qin family will still have to consider it. They expect us to take the initiative.
It's impossible to mention it. The relationship between the two families has reached this point. In the final analysis, the responsibility lies entirely with the Su family, and our Qin family has nothing to do with them."
Zhao Mo also said calmly: "This matter should not be ignored. Has Brother Jian discussed this matter with your parents? What matters Zhenxihou Mansion is involved in now, others don't know, but you know it. At this time,
We are already tied up just because we are worried about the safety of Qin's second aunt, grandma, husband and son. If you marry another girl from the Su family and come back to be your eldest daughter-in-law, won't the Cheng'enhou Mansion be more and more involved in that chaos?
Gone? Why bother here?"
Qin Jian's face suddenly changed. The original shyness quickly disappeared, replaced by vigilance and preparedness: "I don't have any thoughts about the Su family girl. I just think Grandma Su's words and deeds are a bit surprising."
.Although my aunt is very optimistic about this marriage, the Marquis of Zhenxi and his wife are so ungrateful that this marriage will probably not happen. If Grandma Su is really interested, she must first convince her parents-in-law and husband. Otherwise, she will think highly of me again.
, and can’t be the master of her daughter’s marriage.”
Qin Hanzhen said: "I think there is something wrong here. If I remember correctly, cousin Zhao was dragged by his father to talk to the Marquis of Zhenxi at the palace banquet that day. The Marquis of Zhenxi also gave him many lessons and advice.
If so. Cousin Zhao's father also revealed that he planned to marry him..." She hesitated and looked at Zhao Mo.
Zhao Mo nodded expressionlessly: "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, my father intended for me to marry the granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi. In terms of age, among the two granddaughters of the Marquis of Zhenxi, only Su Da
The girl is the most suitable. Looking at the attitude of the Marquis of Zhenxi, I must have known about it and already had a tacit understanding with my father. In this case, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenxi has taken a fancy to Brother Jian and intends to marry her eldest daughter to him.
Obviously I have a different opinion with my father-in-law. I don’t know what Prince Zhenxihou thinks?” Mrs. Zhenxihou’s opinion can be ignored. She is currently blindly obeying her husband’s instructions. Perhaps she was scolded by her husband for returning to Beijing, so she
Are you desperately trying to find a way to mend the rift between your husband and wife?
Qin Jian thought for a while, frowned and said: "Grandma Su asked me to often visit the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, and she also said that the Crown Prince also admired me very much. At the time, I just thought she was being polite, but now that I think about it, maybe she was here.
It implies that the Crown Prince was aware of what she did."
The Prince of Zhenxi doesn’t agree with his father’s marriage arrangement either?
Qin Hanzhen blinked: "On the day of the palace banquet, Aunt Su and her two daughters were following Mrs. Zhenxihou. Mrs. Zhenxihou had a cold look on her face and didn't want to talk to our family, but Aunt Su seemed to be okay.
Although she was kind, it seemed that she didn't dare to say hello because her mother-in-law was nearby. Later, when we left the palace, she asked her brother who was on duty at the Guanglu Temple Yamen to invite us to have a rest and drink tea. My eldest aunt Su was annoyed.
She was rude and ignored her. Now that I think about it, she probably wanted to take the opportunity to clarify their position as a couple to us, right? After Zhenxihou and his son returned to Beijing, they lost military power. From the perspective of Zhenxihou, it was a big deal.
It's a bad thing, but it has a lot of benefits for the Zhenxihou Crown Prince and his wife. It's finally time for them to be reunited, and their two daughters can see each other in the capital and talk about their marriage. The Zhenxihou Crown Prince is still young, and without Southwest
Military power can also lead troops elsewhere. In this way, the father and son of the Marquis of Zhenxi should have different opinions on the matter of King Ninghua."
Qin Jian breathed a long sigh of relief: "If that's the case, that would be great. If the Su family is full of rebellion, even if the uncle and aunt are innocent, it will be very difficult to get them out. But if only the town is suppressed,
If the Western Marquis is confused, then the Su family can still be saved. The old troubles of the Zhenxi Marquis have not been cured. If he can be raised for a long time and no longer hold military power until his death, then whatever King Ninghua does will not affect the Su family.
As long as Prince Zhenxi Hou can carry it out clearly, what can King Ninghua do to fool him?"
Qin Hanzhen bit his lip: "It would be nice if we could know clearly what Prince Zhenxi is thinking. Now...there is no chance of contacting him."
Zhao Mo said calmly: "There is no need to find out his thoughts in private. I have been to your house these past few days and I have not concealed anything from anyone. I will go back and tell my father that the marriage with the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion is not feasible.
The Prince of Xihou has chosen Brother Jian as his son-in-law. I have no reason to compete with my good friends for a wife. Although the Marquis of Zhenxi is the head of the family, parents have always made the final decision on the marriage of their children. It is easy for him to force his son-in-law to marry a daughter.
, after he dies of old age, how will the grandson-in-law get along with his wife’s family? Marriage is not for the sake of enmity, and it won’t be sweet if it’s forceful. No matter how you put it, the Zhenxihou Mansion is being unreasonable. If my father still returns
If you want to force me, I will go to the palace to complain, and I will not agree to this marriage no matter what."
Qin Jian glared at him and said, "It's easy for you to say that! If you refuse, what should I do? Doesn't this mean that I will become his grandson-in-law?!"
Qin Hanzhen actually understood it, but felt that it was not kind enough, so he didn't shut up.
Zhao Mo smiled at Qin Jian and said: "One daughter from the Su family has two promises. If I can refuse a marriage, you can refuse it too. It's also an excuse not to compete with good friends for a wife. When others know about it, they will only say that you and I are brothers."
Honest gentlemen, who dares to say that we are not good? If things really get serious and the Zhenxihou Mansion is in the wrong, in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to find someone to take advantage of, marry his granddaughter, but be used to get involved in Ninghua
Go into that chaos."
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but said: "Would Miss Su be embarrassed by doing this? She is actually very innocent, but she was just used by her grandfather."
Zhao Mo sneered: "If the Su family is safe, just relying on her father's official position, she can always marry into a well-matched family, or find a young talent to marry under her father's subordinates, it won't be difficult.
She grew up with her maternal grandfather in Shu for many years. Her maternal grandfather served as a governor and could find a good marriage partner for her. It’s not like she couldn’t get married, what would happen to her? And if the Su family couldn’t get through this,
, it doesn’t matter who the family is promised to. It’s not easy for us to fish your little aunt’s family out, so how can we take care of her? There are so many innocent people in the world, can we save them one by one?”
Qin Hanzhen glanced at him helplessly, without saying anything, and turned to see what Qin Jian meant.
Qin Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter may not be a big deal. I'll tell my mother in private, just saying that I'm not happy with it. If my mother doesn't nod, this marriage won't be possible. Let my mother give it to Su
Grandma hinted, the result is still the same."
Qin Hanzhen looked at him and then at Zhao Mo. Seeing that they had made up their minds, he said no more. As long as the news didn't spread, Miss Su's situation would not be too miserable. The most important thing at the moment was
, naturally we still have to find out what King Ning Hua’s plan is.
She still has a question that she still can't figure out: "Is the Marquis of Zhenxi agreeing to marry the prince of Liao just to make his granddaughter a princess? With the family background of the Marquis of Zhenxi, I really want to have this dignity.
In fact, it doesn’t have to be Cousin Zhao. The crown prince of Liao has no value other than Cousin Zhao. If the person behind this marriage is King Ning Hua, what is he planning?"
Zhao Mo smiled and said: "I also want to know what there is about me that can be used by King Ning Hua. In addition to being younger, good-looking, capable of doing things, I have some insights in farming, and I can manage the land well.
, besides being close to the capital, there are actually no other advantages. Uncle Wang Ninghua thinks so highly of me that he insists on using me as a tool for marriage and obeying his orders to marry a wife. I am really flattered."
Qin Hanzhen knew that he was speaking sarcastically. Zhao Mo was proud of himself. He had made great contributions to the court at a young age. In the eyes of his father, King Ninghua and others, he was just a tool for marriage. How could he bear it?
It can only be said that Zhao Shuo, the eldest son of King Liao, really didn't understand his son's thoughts, or that he felt that no matter how outstanding his son was, he could only listen to his mercy?
Qin Hanzhen slandered Zhao Shuo a few times in his heart, but he joked and comforted Zhao Mo: "My cousin is very good at putting money on his own face. Do you have so many advantages? Why didn't I see it?"
Qin Jian also laughed and joined in: "Isn't it right? If you say so, wouldn't I be better than you? I am also quite young, good-looking, fairly capable, and good at poetry and calligraphy.
I have some insights, my family has assets, it is in the capital, and it is close to the imperial city."
The three of them looked at me and I looked at you, and they all couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Mo spent most of an hour in the Marquis Chengen's Mansion, and then went back to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion in the west with Qin Hanzhen. It was not until after dinner that, under Qin Hanzhen's persuasion, he notified his entourage and guards to come over.
Accompanying each other, the group left in a grand manner.
Qin Hanzhen said goodbye to his grandparents and had time to go back to his yard to see the gift sent by Zhao Mo.
The gift is a large box, about two feet square, flat and made of golden nanmu. The surface is engraved with fine patterns of landscapes and figures, and is embedded with a brass lock and brass handle. It is a piece in itself.
It was quite a beautiful work of art. The lock was only weakly closed, but not locked securely. Qin Hanzhen opened it, lifted the lid, and found that it contained a large pile of drawing paper rolled into small rolls, with the back of the paper faintly visible.
The color of colored ink shines through.
What Zhao Mo gave her was a painting? But why wasn't it framed?
Qin Hanzhen took out one of the scrolls and unfolded it slowly, and found that it was a new painting. The picture on it looked familiar. It was the Zheng Banqiao painting she bought when she visited the Longfu Temple Fair on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
Is it a calligraphy and painting stall? Although the painting is not very precise, there are some problems with the colors, and there are a few blurry places, but the characters and the background buildings are very realistic, and some details are also very specific.
Somewhat disproportionate.
What's going on?!
