Chapter 224 Marriage
Even if he really didn't want to see Qin Han, he still had to, so Qin Zhao asked Zisu to bring Qin Han in.

The weather in August is already cold. Qin Han is wearing a pink silk shirt and a cloak with a moon-white satin bottom and a rabbit fur edge. She is very beautiful. Although she is only seven or eight years old, she can already vaguely see the future Qin Han walked into the house, saw Qin Zhao sitting on the couch, and saluted with a smile: "The weather is very good today. I know that my sister is not busy now, so I will take care of you." Come and see my sister."

Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling face, Qin Zhao nodded, pointed to the position opposite Ruyi, and said, "Sit down and talk, Ah Han came to look for me, but is there something wrong?"

Qin Han said with a smile: "It's okay, the second sister and the third sister went to the Prince Jin's mansion. I have nothing to do, so I came to talk to my sister."

Qin Zhao asked Zisu to serve tea, and Qin Zhao asked Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe Princess how well, Qin Han also replied with a smile, and said: "A few days ago, I heard that the third sister said that the fourth sister studied with Luo Laoguo. I have learned the Luo family's marksmanship, my younger sister also likes martial arts, I heard that the Luo family's marksmanship is very good, if the fourth sister has free time, can you teach my younger sister some tricks?"

Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows. The Luo family's marksmanship is not known to outsiders. It is impossible for Qin Han not to know this. Is Qin Han deliberately acting stupid, or is there another purpose?Either way, it's extremely disrespectful.

"But this is impossible. The lawlessness of the Luo family gun will not be spread. It is also because of the friendship of my ancestors that Grandpa Luo taught me some fur. I don't know the real Luo family gun. I am afraid that I will call it Ah Han. disappointed."

Qin Zhao closed his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup unhurriedly, looked at Qin Han, and said softly.

Qin Han let out a sigh, and his disappointment could not be concealed in his tone: "So it's like this, even though it's just a common move, I'm also very curious about it, why don't you show me my sister?"

The tone was disappointing, but the joy in his eyes did not escape Qin Zhao's eyes.

This is to find out how her skills are?
If you show her, why should you show her?Is she a performer in that vaudeville troupe?

Although she didn't keep the fact that she knew the Luo's gun, not many people knew about it, and it wasn't something that needed publicity. As for her skills, the only ones who really knew about her were Luo Che and Luo Jingnian. There is only Shan Xiaoying, even her personal bodyguard Qin He and the other four are not very clear about it.Because when she fought against the four of them, she never really used her full strength.Including Chen Erhuo and Chen Jinwu, they just know that she is good at skills, and they don't know exactly to what extent.

Qin Zhao shook his head: "I'm really sorry, I promised Grandpa Luo that if it wasn't for a life-and-death duel, you wouldn't be able to use the Luo family's spear technique, and besides, the true essence of the Luo family's spear move, people with foreign surnames like me have no chance to learn it. As I said just now, what I have learned is only superficial. Although I have learned martial arts, my talent is limited, and it is just a show. , but for the sake of physical fitness, how is it compared to someone who really learns martial arts in a real fight? It's not enough for people to laugh at."

"Fourth sister is really humble. I heard people say that fourth sister's martial arts are very good. Ordinary guards are no match for you."

Qin Zhao listened, and laughed: "Hahan also fought against the guards at home, right? Did they really win against you? They just let us take care of our face. What can I say that I can beat the guards? Isn't it a joke? With my level, if I can really beat my own guards, I think they should really be sent out."

After Qin Han heard this, although he didn't believe it completely, he was a little shaken after all, and felt that this was really the case.

She also learns martial arts, and usually fights with others, who in the family doesn't praise her for being extremely talented?In fact, how did I learn, don't I know myself?It is not easy to be a personal bodyguard. How can I really compare with them at my own level?Qin Zhao is only three or four years older than himself, even if he is stronger, there is a limit.If it is said that she is really stronger than those real master guards, she will not believe it.

The information that Murong Xian really found out cannot be completely believed.

The two chatted for a while, and then Qin Zhao served tea to see off the guests: "I'm really sorry, Ah Han, I'm busy preparing a list of gifts for my relatives and friends here, so I won't keep my sister. After you go back, ask the adults for me. Hello Yunhe Princess."

Speaking of this, Qin Han didn't want to stay, so he got up and said goodbye: "I will pass on the words of the fourth sister in front of my father and mother. The fourth sister is gone, and the fourth sister is free, so I will go to Sanxing Juli to see my father. Last time, my sister was naughty, and my father didn't notice for a while, and wronged my fourth sister. Now my father regrets it in his heart. Only father is the elder , I can’t bear to admit my mistake, if the fourth sister can go to see Dad, I don’t know how happy Dad will be."

If she didn't bring up the matter from last time, Qin Zhao could still hold back his temper and socialize with her a few words. I don't think she would bring it up on his own initiative. Is it because he treats everyone as a fool?If not, it's because this girl is young and has already developed her face, otherwise she can't talk nonsense with her eyes open like this.

Looking at Qin Han's exquisite face, Qin Zhao felt bored for a while, looked at Qin Han with a half-smile, and didn't answer.

Seeing that she shouldn't answer, Qin Han showed some embarrassment on his face, a trace of resentment flashed quickly in his eyes, but he couldn't continue, and got up quickly: "I know my sister is busy every day, Ah Han will go back now, wait My sister is free, come talk to my sister again."

Qin Zhao called Zisu to come in: "Help me take Fifth Miss out."

He got up and sat on the couch without moving.

Qin Han blessed his body, and followed Zisu out of the house.

From time to time, when Zisu went back to the house, Qin Zhao said, "Send it away?"

Zi Su responded: "The servant sent Miss Fifth out of the courtyard, and just returned to the house."

Qin Zhaodao: "If you come back next time, just say that I'm busy and don't have time to see her. Also, Yunshang, Yunyi, Lanniang, and Xiaoqiu are all staying on the farm, and Yun Xiang is serving brother in Lingyuan again. You are the only person in charge of this courtyard, so you can’t relax anymore. You go back and order, no matter who inquires about our courtyard, don’t talk nonsense, and let the people in the courtyard keep their mouths tight. If I know someone messing up Those who speak are directly sold."

Zisu seldom saw Qin Zhao speak coldly in the Fucui Pavilion, so she hurriedly responded solemnly: "Yes, the slave girl knows, and I will give orders later." Seeing Qin Zhao frowning in deep thought, he did not dare to disturb him. , then quietly backed out.

Qin Zhao thought about it for a while, but he didn't quite understand how Qin Han thought of testing her martial arts. Although he couldn't figure it out, he felt vigilant in his heart.

There was nothing left and right, and Changning and Yixing were not at home, so Qin Zhao simply called Zisu to discuss the matter of etiquette.

For normal human relations, the palace has its own preparations, but there are a few houses that I have to express my heart.It's not to give to the various houses, but the little sisters who have friendship with me need to send some over, and then there are Chunyu's house, and Uncle Pei's house. Brother may have forgotten it in a hurry, but she can't forget it. For the name discussion of the two brothers and sisters, another gift should be given.Besides, Aqin and Chen Jinwu from Pingqinghou's Mansion, as well as Cousin Jingchen and Jinghua also had to send something.In addition, there is Luo Jingnian...

Thinking of Luo Jingnian, Qin Zhao couldn't help but smiled, and when he finished laughing, he was a little dazed again.

Since the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

Although the two met several times later, they all met in front of people. Luo Jingnian still had such a cold appearance, but when people were not prepared, he would smile knowingly at her.

Zisu drew up the gift list and handed it to Qin Zhao for review. Qin Zhao thought for a while and told Zisu: "Didn't the peppers and tomatoes harvested in summer be dried in the farm and made into tomato sauce? I will also add some later. , each family will give some, and each family will add another six pumpkins. In addition, look at the fresh vegetables in the greenhouse of the farm. Go to the wine sent by Duke Lu's mansion. Just send it like this."

Because there are other rituals in the palace, this is her personal wish, so the etiquette is not thin.

Zisu responded with a smile, and sent someone to the farm to deliver some dried chilies, tomato sauce and pumpkins.

Qin Zhe went back to the Yin Garden before dinner, because he heard Yun Xiang tell him that Qin Zhao was looking for him, after washing up, he changed his clothes and came to Fucui Pavilion.

Qin Zhao asked Zisu to order two more dishes in the small kitchen. The brother and sister had dinner together in Fucui Pavilion. After dinner, the two moved to the banquet hall on the second floor to talk. It's only a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, what did my uncle, grandfather, and Grandpa Luo say about the sweet potato? Can we discuss it?"

Qin Zhe said with a smile: "I was about to talk to you about this matter. What Uncle Chen said, we don't need to worry about this matter. After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, Jinwu and Haoran are engaged, and we will invite a few familiar families Going to drink, Uncle Chen told His Majesty that there is good wine at home, and His Majesty also loves wine, and he also knew that Jinwu and Haoran were engaged on the [-]th, so he said that he would also go to have a drink or two on that day to join in the fun. Uncle Chen said, The time will be scheduled to invite your Majesty to go to your farm. You can write a letter to the farm and ask Li Da to start preparing to dig sweet potatoes in the field on the morning of the [-]th."

However, the granddaughter made a marriage appointment, but asked His Majesty to drink the wedding wine in person. In the entire Kingdom of David, only Old Duke Lu has such face.

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "That's good too. With the advice of my grandfather and Grandpa Luo, things will definitely be done beautifully. But in this way, I have to go to the Zhuangzi to make arrangements before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since your majesty will go, I will definitely have lunch." It will be used on the farm, but this can’t be sloppy. There is also the matter of harvesting sweet potatoes. I also have to plan to see how many people are suitable for the arrangement. In addition, the farm and the house have to be cleaned up. To save time from going wrong .”

Qin Zhao was really worried if he didn't go there himself.She originally planned to go to Luojiazhuang to see Li Sanniang, but now she can't make it.

Qin Zhe thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Then you go there, so you can rest assured. You have prepared all the ingredients needed for the meal in advance. If you prepare the meal, the people on your farm will definitely not be able to use it. In this way, You turn around and tell His Highness, and send a few people from the kitchen from our mansion. Your Highness is a princess, and for His Majesty's safety, I will definitely send you the most capable people. That way you can relax."

Qin Zhao also felt that this was the most appropriate way.

The emperors of the Kingdom of David were not like those ancient emperors in Qin Zhao's impression, who were confined in the palace all day long and did not go out easily.On the contrary, the emperor of the Kingdom of David often travels and drinks at the home of the older generation of heroes and nobles. Although he does not go often, there are always some days in a year.

After the discussion, Qin Zhaocai talked about the engagement between Jinwu and the second elder brother of the You family: "Eighteen is a good day. Although the elders of the two families had this idea early on, cousin Jinwu and second brother You are also childhood sweethearts, but they have been delayed until now. It was only then that the matter was settled. This time, His Majesty went there in person, and it was very face-saving. I saw that when Cousin Jinwu got married, His Majesty would still be able to confer on her a county head or county. Brother, please help me think about it. Cousin Jinwu is engaged, what should I give her?"

"From the young lady's house, the left and right are just sending some head jewelry. When it comes to sending things, I remembered that I collected a lot of gems. They were originally intended for you, but I didn't put them in the goods I brought back. I collected them myself. I got it, but I forgot about it. Later, I will ask Yun Xiang to send it, and you can pick some for Jinwu. If you can make it to the silver building, you can go and give her two copies. If you can’t, you can just pick some gems and give it to her. That's it, my sister, don't pay attention to face-saving, just practical things."

"That's exactly the reason," Qin Zhao echoed with a smile, "I'm going to the farm, it's definitely too late to buy jewelry, so I might as well give gems, whatever she likes, just go to the silver building to pick out the look. But brother also , such a good thing, I keep it for myself, if it wasn’t for the mention of Cousin Jinwu’s marriage, wouldn’t those gems have no fate for me? If I didn’t believe that my brother loves me, I just think my brother is stingy, and he is not willing to give it to me.”

Qin Zhe reached out and knocked her on the head: "don't worry, all the good things I keep are for you. Those two boxes of gems are nothing, there are better ones. I have two more Dongzhu, which is as big as a thumb in the casket, is reserved for your dowry when you get married."

Pearls are extremely precious treasures in the Kingdom of David, and Dongzhu is especially rare, especially Dongzhu, which is as big as a thumb. The two boxes are worth at least 5000 taels of silver.Whether it is inlaid with corolla or made of hairpins, it is excellent.

Qin Zhao usually doesn't admire wearing any jewelry, but Pearl likes it too.Because she is really not used to the cosmetics here, she also wants to get some good pearls to make pearl powder for use.Hearing Qin Zhe's words, he happily got up and blessed Qin Zhe, and said with a smile, "Azhao thanked brother, gems are next, but I like pearls very much, brother don't keep them, how about Leave it to me to take care of it now? I am only 12 years old now, and I will only be thirteen years later. If I want to get married, I will have to wait at least seven or eight years. Turned yellow. Don't talk about me anymore, but brother, you have already reached the age of marriage, so grandma and uncle didn't worry about your marriage?"

Qin Zhaoyuan was just joking with him, not wanting Qin Zhe to be silent after hearing this.Fu joked again: "What kind of sister-in-law does Ah Zhao want?"

After hearing this, Qin Zhao wondered: "Why did my brother ask me? It doesn't matter what I like. My sister-in-law is the one who wants to live with my brother for the rest of my life. Naturally, my brother must like it. But my brother is The best man in the world, any kind of good woman is worthy of him. In my opinion, among the noble women Ah Zhao has met, there is hardly any worthy of his brother. It is only a matter of marriage, but look at it Fate. Maybe one day my brother will meet his destined woman, and I also like it for my brother. Azhao also looks forward to having a sister-in-law soon. If that happens, there will be another person who loves me in this world."

Qin Zhe patted her forehead with a smile: "Greedy little thing, aren't there enough people who love you?"

Qin Zhao rubbed his forehead that was sore from the bullet, and gave Qin Zhe a white look: "There are so many people in this world who dislike being kind to themselves."

After finishing speaking, Fu turned his eyes again, and suddenly laughed, and rubbed against Qin Zhe ghostly: "Brother, to be honest, is uncle going to meet someone for you? If so, brother, at least let me know , This is not just for fun, I have to find out clearly, don’t I have some friends in the boudoir? Maybe I can help my brother find out some news. Looking for a bride is not only based on appearance, but also on character. Elders Although the vision is accurate, sometimes we juniors can understand the truth better."

Qin Zhe scolded with a smile: "How old are you? You're worried about my elder brother's affairs. How can a younger sister show her elder brother's daughter-in-law? It's a joke to tell people. Don't ask me any more. Don't worry, you always have to Brother will marry someone who likes you."

Although what Qin Zhao said made sense, his situation was different.

In the future, it doesn't matter whether he likes the person who will spend his whole life with him or not.

Although the status of the Prince's Mansion in the Kingdom of David is unmatched except for the Tian Family, there is no need to rely on marriage to consolidate the status.If he is really the son of Princess Jinyang and Qin Huaiyu, he can naturally find a woman who can agree with him according to his own preferences.But he is not his uncle's son, although his uncle's words reveal that he will inherit the kingship in the future, but Qin Zhe knows very well that as long as his father, Qin Huaiyong, is alive, Qin Huaiyong will not care about the past. It will easily make him the heir to the palace.

And in his heart, his father, in his study a few years ago, overheard Qin Huaiyong's stumbling blocks in order to clear up his own wealth and future, intending to kill his mother Shan Nian, and let him inadvertently know However, when Qin Huaiyong wanted to marry Shan Nian, his biological mother, Pei, in order to get the support of several Dukes, his father had already died.

He even believed that if Qin Huaiyong knew that he was in the warm pavilion of the study, he would have killed his only son without hesitation.

Yes, a son can be born again, but the wealth and power that make people greedy for profit cannot be replaced by other things.

At that time, there was still a trace of innocence in his heart, he didn't understand that the side-by-side palace was already a family of nobles and honors, and his father was also a big official in the frontier, what else was he planning?So much so that he stepped on the lives of innocent women one after another to gain his glory and glory.Later, he realized that it is honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with the palace, but unfortunately all this does not belong to Qin Huaiyong, the palace belongs to his uncle Qin Huaiyu.As for Qin Huaiyong, he wanted to hold too many things in his own hands.

Such a father, how could he watch helplessly that what he couldn't get was obtained by his son who deserved to die a long time ago and who couldn't be manipulated by him?

Qin Zhe has never had any thoughts about the throne, but what he has never thought about, he will never let it fall into the hands of such a sad and mad man's so-called father.

Marriage is imperative for him.

After all, he was in the northwest, and although he held a high position, he had to rely heavily on the court, but he really had no foundation in the capital. He needed a Yue family who could consolidate his position in the capital.

It's not that Lu Guogong and Yue Guogong don't value him. Being able to let him know the secret power of each family and use it when necessary has proved that the elders regard him as the heir to the family, but he is not Ah Zhao, they value him because he is worthy of their investment.It's because he has the potential to bring benefits to the family, and if he wants to get more support, he can only increase his own chips.
