Chapter 129: The Magpie
The magpie is in Songfeng Hall, and he is one of the henchmen of Chengenhou's wife Xu, and he is always valued. She has an identity and dignity www.biquge.info most people don't look down on her, that is, several owners of the long house can be respected by her. When her temper came up, she dared to scare even a few housekeepers.
After Sanfang returned to Beijing, Qin Bai got the title, and there were a few more masters worthy of her respect in the magpie's mind. As for the second room, it was not in her eyes from beginning to end.
Xu's generosity has always been good for the second room, even if he is angry in his heart, he will not give the second room no face in front of outsiders. But people around him, such as Magpie, have long been extremely disgusted with the Xue family in the second room, and they have no good impression of Qin Bofu. In the past, Xiao Xue, Qin Jinyi, Qin Jinchun, and Qin Xun did not have any evil deeds, and magpies could still maintain superficial courtesy to them. Now that Qin Jinyi's good deeds are known to the Xu family's master and servant, she can't help but have the thought of "bad bamboo really can't produce good bamboo shoots" in her heart, and she is tired of Qin Jinyi, who has always behaved steadily and politely.
As soon as her temper came up, she sprayed directly at Qin Jinyi, and she didn't care, turned around and lifted the curtain and went out. Qin Jinyi was stunned by her scolding, and she hadn't woken up yet. By the time he reacted and wanted to lose his temper, the person had already left, and there was no way to catch up. Thinking of the implied meaning of the magpie's words, Qin Jinyi's heart felt a slight chill.
Even if she has a big grievance, what can she do? She really calculated Qin Hanzhen first, and planned to teach Qin Hanzhen the wrong fingering of playing the piano, so that the other party could not learn the piano well, and the burden on his hands was heavier than others.
Didn't Qin Jinhua fall for her trick at the beginning? It didn't take long for him to dislike Qin. Even if he learned the correct fingering, he lost interest in the piano and just dealt with it casually in the piano lessons. Who knew that this time for Qin Hanzhen, who was similar in age to Qin Jinhua, the plan did not succeed! It was also inadvertently revealed to Mr. Zeng by Qin Hanzhen's stupid girl, which made Mr. Zeng suspicious. Qin Jinyi could only give up her original plan and concentrate on practicing her piano skills in order to achieve her goal. On Qin Hanzhen's side, the horizontal and vertical can't do anything, and there is no need to pay attention to it.
I don't know how Cheng Enhou's wife, Xu, knew this secret. Qin Jinyi was a little suspicious that Mr. Zeng had told the truth, she was ashamed and annoyed, and she still had a little resentment towards Qin Hanzhen, if she wasn't too stupid, how could she expose herself? But now it's too late to regret it, Xu Shi quietly calculated her, telling her to miss a great opportunity to show her talent in vain. She can't complain, she can't hate, she has to curry favor with the Xu family a lot and make amends to the Xu family. Otherwise, she can't count on the marriage on the Xu family's side!
Even if it is not for the marriage of the Xu family, Qin Jinyi cannot offend her grandmother Xu. Without the connection of her, Mrs. Chengenhou, how would she marry into a high-ranking family? Is it just based on the status and dignity of the second room? Relying on the sixth-rank official position of her father Qin Bofu? Or relying on the grandmother and mother's maiden family, the wealthy businessman Xue who has not yet taken back the name of the imperial businessman? It can't be the dignity of her blood grandmother, Aunt Fu, who enters the palace to meet the queen concubine several times a year?
The words that the magpie said about the separation of the family, Qin Jinyi couldn't listen to it. She knows better than anyone that the second room must not be separated. After the family is divided, the long room is the Hou Mansion, the third room is the Hou Mansion, and the second room is what is it? Is the family of the minor eunuch of the sixth grade? Even if her grandfather was also the brother of the queen mother, his old man had already passed away, and no one outside would recognize him. When the time comes, her identity will really plummet!
Changfang's uncle and grandfather, Chengen Hou Qin Song never took the second room in his eyes, and he also mentioned several times that he would split the family, but he was rejected by her grandmother Xue. It can be seen that the long room has long had the heart of separation, but the second room refuses to accept it. If because of what happened to her today, her grandmother Xue and her father Qin Bofu were angry and took the initiative to mention the word "separation", I am afraid that the long room and the third room would immediately push the boat down the river, right? Is it really not intentional for the magpie to say this? Was it not the instigation of her grandmother Xu?
The more Qin Jinyi thought about it, the more frightened she became, she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face with her hands, and went to the mirror to look at her red and swollen eyes that were crying, anxious about how to make the redness and swelling go away as soon as possible, so as not to invite her grandmother and mother, and when they saw her like this, they ran to Songfeng Hall in a hurry.
The second room can't make trouble, and she can't cry anymore. She wanted to pretend that there was no such thing, just like the excuses that Xu and the girls from Songfeng Hall gave her, she was only sick and disappeared from the banquet, not punished, and had nothing to do with Qin Hanzhen. She can't let the truth leak out and ruin her reputation, so she really doesn't want to marry into a wealthy family, whether it is the Xu family or someone else's family.
Just as Qin Jinyi was thinking, the magpie raised his head high, walked down the steps, walked past Xia Qing without squinting, and walked directly to the courtyard gate. Xia Qing knew that she was giving herself a disadvantage, so she pursed her lips and ignored it. She is not a third-class girl in Songfeng Hall now, nor is she a person from the long house, what kind of majesty does the magpie put in front of her?
Seeing that the magpie was so arrogant, Thrush frowned, smiled and took Xia Qing's hand and said, "I'll go back first, I'll see you tomorrow, and I will go back to Songfeng Hall to see the sisters when I have time." Xia Qing shook her hand back with a smile, gave her a few steps, and turned around to see Lian Rui running over from the group of little girls standing by the stream, thinking that he had already inquired about what he should have inquired about, so he said to Qin Jinchun and Kumquat and them, called Lian Rui, followed the thrush and them, and left Taohuaxuan.
They walked out of the door of Peach Blossom Pavilion with their front and back feet, and before they reached the door of Mingyuewu, they met Qin Jinhua coming back from Sheng Yiju, followed by two mothers-in-law, one carrying a lantern, one carrying incense and smoking mosquitoes, and behind them there were two big girls who served closely, and then there were two daughters-in-law of Sheng Yiju who followed with a box, and the momentum was huge. The two parties met in front of the Mingyuewu Gate and almost blocked the road.
Qin Jinhua recognized the magpie and the thrush at a glance, especially the former, who often went to Shengyi's residence. She smiled and bent her eyes, and before she could say hello, the magpie stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "I've seen the second girl, and the second girl is back?"
"Hello Sister Magpie. Qin Jinhua smiled and said, "It's so late, why is my sister here?"
The magpie glanced at the door of the Peach Blossom Xuan behind him, and said with a smile: "The big girl is not good, I sent her back with the thrush, and then told the big girl's girls a few words, so that they can wait for the big girl, and don't let the big girl get sick again." ”
Qin Jinhua had already heard about Qin Jinyi's "illness" from his mother Yao, blinked, and knew that the magpie was ashamed of Qin Jinyi, so he laughed dryly twice, and said, "Big sister is sick, we are also worried, her condition is not serious, right?
The magpie heard it and said, "Although the eldest girl is unwell, she will be fine after two more days." The second girl is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and she is really a good sister. It's just that the eldest girl is sick after all, so she is afraid of being sick. It's better to wait for the eldest girl's illness to be completely cured, and the second girl will go to see her again. She didn't want to mention more about Qin Jinyi, so she changed the topic with a smile, "There is a banquet in the house today, and there are so many guests, the second girl must be tired, right?" Mrs. said, everyone in the house can rest more, and the school will stop for a few more days, and it will not be too late to reopen classes when the weather is cooler." Madame had already told Mr. Zeng, and Mr. Zeng also said that she wanted to go to the countryside for the summer. The second girl doesn't have to get up early in the morning, so let's sleep a little longer. After these two days, the next day my wife will take the family to watch the dragon boat race!"
"Really?!" Qin Jinhua suddenly smiled, "That's great! I went to my grandfather's house last year, but I couldn't watch the dragon boat, and I was so envious of Sister Min and Sister Xu that they were so lively." This year, my grandmother didn't mention it, and I thought she wouldn't go. ”
She happily thanked the magpie, and then jumped into the gate of Mingyuewu, saw the lights on in the west chamber, and hurriedly ran over there: "Third sister, third sister, I have good news to tell you!"
Outside the courtyard gate, the magpie looked at Qin Jinhua's happy appearance and left happily. The thrush and others quickly followed.
Xia Qing fell last, looked at the magpie's side, and then looked at the situation in the yard, sighed and shook his head.
The little girl Lian Rui asked her in a low voice, "Sister Xia Qing, is Sister Magpie very close to the second grandmother?"
Xia Qing turned his head and glared at her: "What are you talking nonsense? As a little girl, what should you say and what you shouldn't say, don't you understand? When you entered the mansion, the grandmothers didn't teach you the rules? Don't think that if the girl is generous and doesn't restrain you, you won't know the height of the sky." If other grandmothers and sisters hear about it, will you still be good? Even if the girl has the heart to protect you, you will not take care of it. Do you want the girl to have a bad reputation for you, an unruly person?" She has always preferred a steady and honest person like Lianshi, but unfortunately, today she is going to Taohuaxuan to inquire about the news, so she can only bring the clever Lianrui, but she is always worried that Lianrui is too clever and will cause trouble. Looking for an opportunity, I can't help but knock it.
Lian Rui shrunk her neck, but she also knew that Xia Qing had good intentions to teach her, so she laughed a few times, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and hurriedly contributed the news she had just heard: "The little girls in Peach Blossom Xuan said that Langying came back before noon today, and they have been complaining in a whisper, saying that the eldest girl was not sick, but was sent to Songfeng Hall by her wife. I thought I would see a few noble ladies there, but I fell asleep in a daze. The lady said that this was a punishment for the eldest girl, but as the eldest sister, she had a bad heart towards the younger sisters, and told her to learn a lesson and remember this matter so that she would not commit it again in the future. The lady ordered Langying to go back to the courtyard to restrain the mother-in-law and the little girls, not allowing them to walk around, report to the second room, and send a thrush to monitor. Langying held his breath, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders. The eldest girl slept for most of the day, and slept through the banquet. I was going to play the piano at the banquet, but I didn't have that anymore. ”
Xia Qing was taken aback, but quickly calmed down again: "It turns out that this is the case. So I said, why didn't my wife say anything when I reported it? That's fine, if you punish the eldest girl on the same day, and the eldest girl makes amends in person, I'm afraid that if she turns around and forgets, when she wants to make it bad in the future, it will still be bad. She has been looking forward to today's banquet, and has made up her mind to shine, and she might as well be poured cold water on it to remember. Madame is really wise, and she will never let the big girl come around!"
