Chapter 47: No Anger
Qin Jinyi returned to the Peach Blossom Pavilion next door, and walked around her room, unable to sit at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Jinchun originally planned to go back to his room to rest, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Big sister, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Jinyi asked her: "In the house of the three girls just now, have you seen the things on her treasure shelves? There are also objects on the bookshelves and bookcases? She is only from the northwest border city, and her family is just a rich man, and she has a few acres of land, where is there such a good thing? It must have been given by the second aunt!"
Qin Jinchun's face was confused: "So what? The third uncle's family just returned to Beijing from the northwest, and they didn't bring much with them. Since she is going to live in our house, the second aunt will definitely send something? When we moved here, the second aunt also asked someone to decorate the house. I saw that the furniture in the third sister's house was similar to that in my sister and my house. ”
Qin Jinyi stomped her feet: "Who told you about the house? The Hou Mansion has an old practice, the girls who come out of the concubine are all the same rations, what we have, she is naturally the same." I'm talking about the other things she has in her house! It's not something you can find with money. How could the second aunt give it to her?"
Qin Jinchun still didn't take this seriously: "It's just a few things." I saw that the things in the third sister's house were much less than those in the big sister and my house, and the colors were plain and not very good-looking. But her snacks are good, they were delivered from the big kitchen, right? Sometimes in the middle of class, I get hungry, and you always stop me, big sister, and don't let me ask someone to send snacks to school. I want more snacks that I love to eat, and I take them with me to pad my stomach when I'm hungry. ”
Qin Jinyi glared at her sister angrily: "Eat, eat, what do you know besides eating?!, I don't bother to tell you more, you go back." ”
Qin Jinchun got up and went back to the room where he lived, Qin Jinyi sat down and thought for a while, decided not to take a nap, freshened up again, changed clothes, and took the two girls out and went back to the Fugui residence where her parents lived.
Qin Bofu went to the Yamen today, probably because he had more official business, and he didn't come back at noon. Xue's family, who lived in Suxinzhai, had lunch early, but he was sleepy, so he went to the front Fuguiju to talk to his niece and daughter-in-law Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue's was a little sleepy, but her mother-in-law and aunt came, and she couldn't say that she wanted to take a nap, so she forced herself to chat with her. Seeing Qin Jinyi coming, Xiao Xue's spirit perked up, and he pulled his daughter to sit down with a smile: "Why are you here now?" I heard that the third girl moved into Mingyuewu today, and the second girl is going to hold a banquet to invite all the brothers and sisters to warm her home. Brother Duan'er has already returned, and I didn't ask in detail. Are you having fun with Sister Chun?"
Qin Jinyi smiled: "It's just like this, brothers and sisters get together for a meal." The second sister is young and doesn't understand everything, so I also helped manage the banquet, but I didn't play much. ”
Xiao Xue sighed: "You always like to take care of things, in fact, although you are old, you are also a child." If you have something, just leave it to the people below, just joke about it, why bother to take the lead in everything?"
"That's not what I said. Xue Shi looked disapproving, "Our sister Yi is already more prominent than several younger sisters, and she has the opportunity to show off, why don't you show off? They have two sisters in the long house, who can compare with our sister Yi? It's just that their grandfather is a marquis." If Qin Song hadn't had a big life back then and survived from the west, this title would have been won by Sister Yi's father. has a Hou grandfather's father, Sister Yi is bound to be more beautiful now, and she doesn't have to fight with others in everything in order to let outsiders know her benefits. ”
Xiao Xue disagreed with her mother-in-law's words in her heart, but she didn't want to dismiss them in person, so she just bowed her head and said nothing.
Xue didn't know what his daughter-in-law was thinking, but instead taught his granddaughter Qin Jinyi: "Your mother just said you, it's not all wrong. You have to behave, but also depends on when and what occasion. Like today, the second girl is reckless herself, obviously she doesn't have that ability, and she has to set up some banquet to entertain her brothers and sisters, but in fact, she doesn't rely on her mother and the people waiting around her to help her? You should let her come by herself, so that others can see her incompetence. If you help her, she won't thank you, and the people in the long room will still talk about it, saying that you are rushing to be in the limelight, isn't this thankless? If it is an occasion where there are outsiders, and the wives and grandmothers of other families are present, it is not too late for you to come forward and compete for the lead. If outsiders praise you, your reputation can be spread, but if you praise two sentences from the long house, that is, just praise two sentences, there is no benefit at all. ”
Qin Jinyi responded convincingly, completely unaware that her mother, Xiao Xue, was looking at her and her grandmother with worried eyes.
After Xue's teaching of her granddaughter, Qin Jinyi brought up the topic of today's visit: "I went to the third sister's house today, and I saw that there were several treasures and antiques in her study, as well as calligraphy and calligraphy of famous masters in the previous dynasty. The third sister casually threw things on the bookcase, and didn't seem to cherish them much. I don't know if she understands how precious those things are, and I don't know, why did the second aunt give these things to the third sister?"
She has a good memory, and she counted all the more precious items in Qin Hanchun's study, and she didn't miss them. She only regretted that she only went to the small hall and study of Qin Hanchun's house today, and never went to the bedroom, so she didn't see it more clearly and thoughtfully.
After listening to her daughter's words, Xiao Xue said: "It's nothing, who doesn't have a few valuable things in your sister's house?" Besides, your third sister also said that it was given to her by your third uncle." Your third uncle only has one granddaughter, so naturally she loves her more, and a few treasures will be given. Mother and your grandmother also love you every day, but when have you ever been stingy with everything you love?"
"Mother, I didn't mean that!" Qin Jinyi said coquettishly, "Is my eyelid so shallow? Who is still blushing for that little thing? It's not the third brother! The Xue family has a big business, and my grandmother and mother are rich in marriage, and I have never been short of silver, so how can I blush with a few antiques? I just feel unfair. The second aunt heard that the treasury was opened, and let the third uncle and the third sister pick it up, but they hid it from our second room. Whose truth is this?"
Without waiting for Xiao Xue's answer, Xue spoke: "Sister Yi'er is right. I've heard for a long time that Yao sent the C-number warehouse and even the list of keys and belts to the Qingfeng Pavilion. You are also the grandmother of the head of the family, haven't you heard of it? Most of the things in the C-shaped treasury are things given by the emperor! How can such things be given to people casually? The Qin family is not separated, and the title is called the long house to occupy, and that's it, but the property in the family is shared by the long house and the second room, and the long house cannot be used casually. Yao didn't say hello to our second room, so he gave the warehouse to the third room, and we were about to ask what was going on in person!"
Xiao Xue said helplessly: "Mother, since the Qin family has not been divided, the family's belongings are shared by the long house, the second room and the third room. Since it is the third uncle's old belongings, it is also the right thing for the second brother and sister to return it to the third uncle. ”
Xue choked for a moment, and then said: "Nonsense! Even the things that Qin Bai used in the past have been copied, and after the imperial court returned them, they were directly sealed into the treasury, and they belonged to the whole family." Qin Bai has been gone for 30 years, and he has not mentioned the reason for his departure, he has ignored his family, is it true that he still has to count his annual income in this family? If we really have to settle the accounts, won't we lose money? Don't talk nonsense outside, and don't say a few words at home. ”
Xiao Xue had no choice but to shut up.
Seeing that her mother was scolded, Qin Jinyi felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly opened the topic: "Grandmother, the things given by the emperor are not private in each room, right? When those things were given in the first place, they didn't have their names written, and the second aunt sent them directly to the third uncle and grandfather, which is not in accordance with the rules, right? Grandmother is an elder, so can't she teach the second aunt a few words?"
Xue snorted coldly: "Naturally, it is unruly, but I may not be able to teach your second aunt a lesson." Where does she have the guts? Her temper, except for her own men, when is she willing to spend money on others? Since she dared to open the warehouse and send things to the Qingfeng Pavilion, naturally her mother-in-law will do it when she speaks, but she is afraid that her heart is also dripping blood, but she is just generous. ”
Qin Jinyi was suddenly extremely disappointed in her heart. If it was Mrs. Chengenhou's wife, Xu Shifa, there would be nothing to say in the second room. She is not a stupid girl, she naturally knows who is the one who speaks effectively in this family. She just couldn't understand why Xu did this.
The Xue family was unaccustomed to the Xu family, and sneered: "I really can't see it, after more than 30 years, she Xu Yu still misses the old love? It's just that since she has such deep affection, why did she withdraw from her relatives when the Qin family was in trouble? After the Qin family was rehabilitated, she didn't marry Qin Bai, but married Qin Song, who got the title." What is the use of doing treacherous things back then, and now they come to please people? When you are old, you even have a bunch of grandchildren, and you don't say this again, isn't it ridiculous?!"
Xiao Xue's heart said, Xu's had not passed the door back then, but he just quit his family, but his mother-in-law Xue directly divorced her husband, if it wasn't for the father-in-law Qin Huai who died one step earlier, this divorce letter would have been done a long time ago, and there would be no later "fake divorce letter for the heirs". Why is the mother-in-law embarrassed to say that Xu's "treachery"?
It's just that Xiao Xue didn't dare to say this to his face, and only sighed in his heart.
Who knew that the Xue family thought about it left and right, and felt that it couldn't be just like that, she had to go to Songfeng Hall to make a fuss, and it was best for Cheng'en Hou Qin Song to be there, and ask him to respond too. She did this, not only to block the long house, but also to take the opportunity to get some benefits. Since the long room can open the warehouse and divide things for the third room, how can it be missing the share of the second room?
Thinking about it, Xue got up and beckoned to his daughter-in-law: "Come with me to Songfeng Hall, I'm going to ask Xu Yu, why do you only send things to the third room, but not our second room?!"
Xiao Xue was startled, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Mother, forget it, right? It's just a small object." If you really want to calculate it, we have not lost the benefits of long houses over the years. The third room has been away from Beijing for 30 years, and now that he has returned, what is the point of getting some property? If the long room and the third room are more real, we will not be able to get a good place. ”
"Who the hell are you from?!" Xue glared at his daughter-in-law with hatred, "Just because of your temper, Bo Fu doesn't like to stay in your house, only messing with those fox spirits, you still don't know what is wrong?!, I won't take you there, so I won't let you drag me back." I'll teach you a lesson when I come back!"
Qin Jinyi wanted to keep up, but thinking that her grandmother would definitely anger her uncle and grandmother Xu if she did this, and her mother Xiao Xue was angry again, she hesitated for a moment, then stayed, and whispered to her mother: "Why do you always like to sweep grandmother's interest?"
Xiao Xue glanced at her helplessly and let out a long sigh. (To be continued.) )
