Qin Lun came to the main hall, and saw his grandmother Mrs. Qin sitting on the two rosewood Taishi chairs in the middle of the hall, and a woman in a long dress on the other, about forty years old, wearing a cloud brocade robe with ochre-colored woven gold threads, wearing a jade hair ornament, and a luxurious appearance. At the bottom of the living room sat Qin Ji and Xu. Except for the subordinates who served closely, everyone else was stopped outside the hall and was not allowed to enter.

"Lun'er, come and meet Mrs. Yipin." Qin Ji introduced.

When Qin Lun saw this posture, he immediately understood that this woman's identity was not ordinary dignity, and he was about to make a big salute, but the woman stood up from the chair, stepped forward to support Qin Lun, and laughed loudly: "Don't scare the child, today is the old lady's Qianqiu, let's not make these false courtesies, according to the generation, this child should call me an aunt." ”

Qin Lun didn't know this woman, so he turned his eyes to Qin Ji for help.

Qin Ji came over and explained, "Mrs. Wu is your aunt's cousin, you should call your aunt." ”

Qin Lun called his aunt and made a big salute, and the woman surnamed Wu pulled Qin Lun to sit down beside her. Qin Lun thought about it carefully, as if his mother had mentioned to him a few days ago that the aunt in the capital had a cousin who had given the cousin of the current saint, could it be this Mrs. Wu? It's just that this Mrs. Wu has always been in a high position and has never interacted with the Qin family, so how could she come all the way to come to the door today?

"I don't have a daughter like Lun'er in my life, only two sons who are not successful, don't mention it. After all, you are more blessed than me! Mrs. Wu took Qin Lun's hand and looked at it carefully, only to see that her skin was like congealed fat under the light, and her fingers were like onion roots, and she couldn't help but praise it.

"Where, Mrs. Wu, you are modest, although my old woman is deaf and blind, she has also heard that your two sons are the pillars of the country in the capital, and the holy weapon is very important today." Old Lady Qin said with a smile.

"Hey, what kind of pillar of the country, it's just that the emperor doesn't dislike his two cousins for being stupid, and stays by his side to give him a mouthful of imperial food to eat." Mrs. Wu was obviously very interested in Old Lady Qin's words and said with a smile.

Qin Lun stretched out his hand and touched the tea cup that was resting in Mrs. Wu's hand, turned his head and instructed Lianzhu: "It's cold in the first month, Madame's tea is a little cold, you go and change the hot one, add a red date, and warm Madame's stomach." ”

Mrs. Wu saw that Qin Lun was well-behaved and sensible, and she was even more happy to smile, and said to Qin Ji and Xu: "Lun'er is not only outstanding in appearance, but also well-behaved and sensible, it seems that I am here today, and I said that there is a matchmaker to protect during the banquet, I don't know if the old lady and my younger siblings agree?" ”

"How dare you ......" Qin Ji said again and again. Xu smiled but did not speak.

Lianzhu changed a cup of tea, Qin Lun personally picked up Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu smiled: "Just now I said that I am Lun'er's aunt, today I said a big disrespectful word, I am half buried in the soil, and I am also the aunt of today's saint, do you say yes or no?" ”

"Of course." Qin Ji and Xu nodded repeatedly.

"So the medium I want to protect today is to connect Lun'er with today's saint, I don't know if my brother and sister agree?" After Mrs. Wu finished speaking triumphantly, the whole hall was silent all of a sudden, and only the sound of the Western clock ticking could be heard. Mrs. Wu pretended to bow her head and drink tea, giving everyone a time to think.

"This ......"

After a while, Qin Ji broke the silence, barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for your love, it's just ...... My family Qin Lun has already promised the Cao family Yanyun, but I'm afraid ......"

"Smack!" With a bang, Mrs. Wu closed the lid of the teacup and asked rhetorically, "Have you hired any of them?" Is there a marriage contract? Is there a matchmaker? Can there be documents to prove it? ”

"That's not ......," Qin Ji shook his head.

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "Then since this is the case, it is not counted, the man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, and you can start all over again." ”

The sweat on Qin's head dripped down, and the Xu family didn't dare to say much, so the old lady Qin answered: "Madame is reasonable, it's just ...... This Jiangzhou city knows that my family Lun'er promised the Cao family, and madam, you see, the Cao family also sent a congratulatory gift today. ”

Mrs. Wu glanced at the jade Ruyi on the table not far away, and sneered: "I think the sincerity of this Cao family is nothing more than that, the younger brothers and sisters are honest people, but they are ...... I don't think I have to take it to heart. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Wu took Qin Lun's hand again and said to Qin Ji Xu: "Don't say that this family affair has wronged my family Lun'er, just say that the Cao family is just a slave who can't be seen on weekdays in front of the saint, and the relationship between you is just a verbal covenant, and the emperor's holy decree has written off everything." ”

"This ......" Qin Ji was sincerely frightened, and beads of sweat the size of beans couldn't stop dripping down his head.

Xu was also reluctant, but because of his face and identity, he couldn't say much.

Qin Lun liked Cao Ling in his heart, but his parents decided the marriage matter, and his daughter's family had to keep silent.

Old Mrs. Qin looked at this scene tonight, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Qin Pu got married ten years ago, and her heart was very anxious. But the old lady Qin is an elderly person, stabilized her mind, came to a delaying strategy, and said to Mrs. Wu: "Madame has been traveling for days, and today she came to celebrate the birthday of this old woman, it is a lot of hard work, it is better to live in my house today, and we will discuss it carefully tomorrow." ”

"It's good!" Mrs. Wu got up and said briskly, "I happen to be tired, just now I heard that the old lady still has a play that I can't listen to, so I will bother in the house, and I will accompany the old lady to see the unfinished play tomorrow." ”

Mrs. went to rest by herself accompanied by the Xu family, and this side of the carriage was sad for Qin Ji and Mrs. Qin.

"Mother......" Qin Ji had a difficult face, "You look at today's events, but how is it good?" ”

Old Lady Qin sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's more than lucky!" How similar are things today to those of 10 years ago? Have pity on your sister, and never see each other again. ”

Speaking of Qin Pu, the corners of Qin Ji's eyes were a little moist: "Mother, why bother mentioning Pu'er?" Ten years have passed, the first emperor died, the saint ascended the throne, and the Jinluan Hall has long been replaced. ”

Old Lady Qin stood up, holding a boxwood cane with a thick bowl mouth, Qin Ji helped her to walk to the inner courtyard, and Qin Lun followed closely with his head down.

"Did you see the congratulatory gift of the Cao family today?" Old Lady Qin asked Qin Ji in a low voice as she walked.

"See." Qin Ji said, "It must be because the batch of clothes offended the concubine a while ago, and the Cao family is avoiding suspicion." ”

"I heard that the Cao family intends to let Cao Ling's sister Cao Huai enter the palace next year, and she is taking the path of the concubine." Old Mrs. Qin said.

"It is true." Qin Ji helped Mrs. Qin turn the corridor and came to the courtyard where Mrs. Qin lived.

"How did you do things so carelessly, you actually offended the concubine." Old Lady Qin blamed Qin Ji.

"Mother didn't know, the day before yesterday, it was an accident, the concubine Niangniang likes to be gorgeous, it is said that the cloth was originally woven by the Shu Brocade Bureau, and then somehow, transferred to my Jiangzhou weaving, my bureau has never cut clothes for the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Niangniang is dissatisfied with it is reasonable." Qin Ji said.
