Chapter 207: Qin Xin
Although there is no common topic with Qin Qiong's age difference, in fact, Sun Dao is essentially a person who doesn't like to talk much. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info If he could, he preferred to be in a quiet environment, silently doing what he had to do.
However, this is not the current situation.
It's not this kind of deliberateness, and the panicked food is silent.
Qin Huaiyu gave Sun Dao the first glass of wine, Sun Dao toasted the host Qin Qiong, and then put down the wine glass over there. Waiting for the girl of the Qin family who had not shown up so far and said that she wanted to give her a gift, Sun Dao squinted his eyes and examined this familiar scene, naturally with a wisp of memory expression.
And Qin Huaiyu, who fully comprehended the family motto of eating and sleeping silently, saw that Sun Daoyi was not here, and did not add any more wine to him with his father's acquiescence. So there were only three men in the whole hall, and in the absence of a hostess, in silent silence, each went about his own business.
A pot of ordinary water wine, a few dishes of home-cooked dishes.
Qin Qiong was having a drink after a long absence, Qin Huaiyu was paying attention to his father from time to time, and as for Sun Dao, he had been boringly searching for his past memories.
This kind of time didn't pass quickly, and Qin Xin'er, who was prepared for Sun Dao over there, didn't take that long, especially with the help of her grandmother.
So in such an unspeakable moment of silence, the hostess stood silently behind Qin Qiong, which was the end of this moment. And the little girl who followed her half a step behind was also holding a plate of fragrant oily yellow flakes of food at this time.
To be precise, Sun Dao was attracted back by this faint and traceable aroma.
"Xin'er did it?" Seeing that the little girl raised her little face and carefully sent this thing over, what appeared on Sun Dao's face after taking it was a faint smile.
"Hmmm! Thank you brother for the osmanthus cake you sent" nodded shyly, watching Sun Dao pick up a piece and put it in his mouth, Qin Xin'er's eyes flashed with a little hope and nervousness.
"Like to do these?" Reminiscing about the familiar taste, Sun Dao suddenly showed a sudden smile while adding another piece.
"Xin'er is stupid, she can only do this" smiled happily and sweetly, and the little girl trotted to Qin Huaiyu's head and sat down obediently, completely a little lady who always pays attention to her words and deeds. And what Sun Dao saw was that for some reason her cheeks exuded a slight flush.
"Even if you step on a small bench to get the stove?"
Sun Dao chewed and swallowed the crispy and hot fried steamed bread slices in his mouth, and laughed out loud.
It's a little girl about five years old, and no one is as tall as a stove, so in order to be able to master the heat, it is inevitable that she needs something to tiptoe. Sun Dao could fully imagine the scene of such a little girl, with her feet cocked and waving a spoon that was extremely disproportionate to her small hand.
"The stove in the small courtyard Xin'er doesn't have to step on the small bench" was teased, the little girl buried her head, put her hands on her chest and twisted it, and her white and tender fingers were twisted purple and red. Remembering that it was the small stove that Aya had built for herself, the little girl who was not very good at adjusting and hiding her thoughts, her eyes began to redden, and she was about to cry out of grievance.
"Does Xin'er know the three major tortures that a young man will accept when he visits the woman's house of his choice?" Immediately understood the reason for the little girl's expression, but Sun Dao asked with his chin on his back and pretending to be serious.
"What?" Sun Dao's question was too abrupt, and the little girl still had a few tears on her long eyelashes under a reluctant smile.
"The eyes of the future father-in-law, the nagging of the future mother-in-law, and the woman's specialty dish who wants to show off" Sun Dao raised the fried bun in his hand slightly, "Don't you know Xin'er, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach"
"Xin'er doesn't understand, and why do you want to capture a man's heart?" The little girl's eyes widened in bewilderment, and under Sun Dao's cold jokes, she revealed the unique immaturity and innocence of this age.
"How do you say it" Turning his eyes a few times, Sun Dao, who was asked rhetorically, remembered that this little girl was completely different from others, she was well protected by a group of people from the Qin family, so it was impossible to understand Sun Dao's deliberate tone of forking the topic~ laughing. But it's not easy for him to explain, and it's even harder not to explain! Especially when the other three members of the Qin family were all glancing at him, intentionally or unintentionally.
"That's it, tomorrow I'll give Xin'er and Xin'er's godfather a day off, Xin'er will ask Xin'er's Aya Niang, they will definitely tell Xin'er why"
"Really?" Suddenly full of surprise, the pure eyes of the little girl confirmed to Sun Dao, the joy of surprise did not contain a trace of impurities.
"Really, let your godfather go with you tomorrow. In a sense, I am also the director of the Chongwen Pavilion, and I still did the master's little thing," Sun Dao affirmed.
And there is so much nonsense, and even a vague big-talk confidence, it is nothing more than telling Qin Huaiyu, a family of three who are more suspicious than surprised when they look at him, that he is absolutely good at what he says, please rest assured.
"Go earlier, Huaiyu can go there to fight with the veterans, don't always play sticks in your yard behind closed doors. When he came back, he led Xin'er to find a carpenter by the way, and ordered a pair of suitable wooden plates, and placed them on the other side of the stove, as a corner of Xin'er's special kitchen" Glancing at Qin Huaiyu meaningfully, Sun Dao bit a few words very hard.
Although it is easy for Sun Dao to get the fake note, in other aspects, he still has to find some reasons. For some, though, it's just scratching the surface.
"Hmm!" Nodding slightly, Qin Huaiyu also understood the meaning conveyed by Sun Dao.
"As for this, since Xin'er is interested in this aspect, she might as well cultivate it as a hobby. Over the years, I have traveled north and south with His Royal Highness, and I have heard some of the special dishes in various places, if Xin'er likes it, we can communicate and exchange, so that I can also taste how delicious the famous dishes that I once coveted. If Xin'er likes the osmanthus cake I make, I can also teach Xin'er how to do it" Sun Dao put down the plate of fried steamed buns, thinking that this is not bad, how to say that the girl in the palace has also grinded herself for a while, and she has also "led to trouble" once.
And the little girl who was fully guaranteed by Sun Dao was sitting there at this time, quietly, well-behaved and pure, with a sweet smile, as if it was a plain daffodil that had just opened.
"Hmm!" Responding softly, the little girl looked at Sun Dao, and then secretly glanced at Qin Qiong and his wife, who had been silent all along, and there was obvious hesitation in their clear eyes, and then quietly pulled the corner of Qin Huaiyu's clothes beside her.
"Godfather, what do you mean by salivating?" When Qin Huaiyu turned sideways, the little girl whispered in his ear.
And the little voice that the little girl thought that only she and Qin Huaiyu could hear, in fact, everyone could faintly hear it.
"I want to have something" also glanced at his parents, and Qin Huaiyu answered the little girl's studiousness.
"Personally, Confucius's food and silence are not impossible to change" Qin Qiong couldn't see anything, and although Mrs. Qin was smiling shallowly, Sun Dao could vaguely feel the trace of unhappiness hidden under the signature smile. Thinking of Qin Qiong and Qin Huaiyu's performance, Sun Dao naturally guessed that this was mostly from a certain family motto in the Qin Mansion, so he smiled faintly, even Qin Huaiyu's mother, at the moment when Qin Huaiyu's voice just fell, there was no euphemistic politeness, "At least it shouldn't be like this, what does the aunt of the Qin family think?" β
At the beginning, he vaguely noticed a sense of familiarity, and under the seduction of the little girl's fried buns, he finally remembered where this familiar feeling came from.
He and she once had a fight over it.
Living alone for a long time, he has long been accustomed to a quiet environment, not only for work, but also for the dining table and the bed where he sleeps. So suddenly after she entered his life, everything changed passively. One of them is that at this dinner table, he is always speechless and chatters with her.
She is very stubborn, and no one can convince anyone, she uses an atmosphere that is extremely depressing and aggrieved every time she eats, successfully overwhelms his persistence, and also successfully changes his thinking. And so on step by step, so that his small change from passive to active, just for her.
He never liked it, so he said a lot; And at this moment, Sun Dao's unkindness made the subtle atmosphere in the hall suddenly cool down.
"Sun Gongzi is kind, old manβ" His eyebrows twisted slightly, and the mistress of the Qin Mansion opened her lips lightly after a short silence. And she searched out and wanted to remind him euphemistically, as soon as the words of not meddle came to her mouth, between her and Sun Dao, suddenly a little girl stood up.
It's Qin Xin'er.
Facing Sun Dao, the little girl's fingers were nervously twisting the corners of her clothes, and her face was staring at Sun Dao with brave eyes, trying to be vicious. Although there was a little incomprehension and fear in those innocent eyes, Sun Dao did not find any hesitation.
The little girl is fast.
The small head was not enough to judge right from wrong, but when she sensed Sun Dao's dissatisfaction with her grandmother, the little girl still chose to side with her grandmother without thinking. Although she didn't know what was going on, although Sun Dao was also very good to her, although Sun Dao had a good relationship with Qin Huaiyu, and although Sun Dao promised to let her visit her parents who she hadn't seen for a long time tomorrow, but at this moment, the little girl chose to stand on the opposite side of Sun Dao for the first time.
Without hesitation, her judgment and choice should be simple.
Sun Dao was not surprised.
There was a brief silence.
"The old man's house rules" put down the wine glass in his hand, signaled Qin Huaiyu to pull his granddaughter away, and Qin Qiong finally spoke.
However, there was no dissatisfaction with Sun Dao's meddling in his tone; It's just faint, and I can't hear anything.
"That's why I said that there is no common language between me and Uncle Qin" turned to Qin Qiong, and Sun Dao was not angry, nor did he feel a trace of unwillingness.
"Because the old man believes more, deeds are greater than words!" Nodding slightly at his wife, Qin Qiong spoke slowly, pun intended, "It's easy to know, but it's hard to do!" β
"Speaking of the Book of Shang, I agree. Therefore, talking about it" Qin Qiong has adhered to the life creed for decades, and Sun Dao has nothing to say. Unlike others, so he took the initiative to take a step back and put the remaining snacks into the bowl, Sun Dao's eyes turned to the little girl who was still in a daze after sitting back, "Is there anything else?" I plan to bring some back to Linchuan and Tiantian, after all, I can't let them help Xin'er and Huaiyu to explain to their master."
"Yes! Xin'er has prepared a lot for Sister Chuan'er and Sister Tiantian! Seeing that nothing seemed to have happened, the little girl who didn't understand what was going on was still very happy, so she smiled and nodded her little head vigorously.
"Warm it in the kitchen, wait until Sun Gongzi leaves, this food is cold and tasteless" After the little girl turned her gaze, she signaled her granddaughter not to worry, and Mrs. Qin took the initiative to explain to Sun Dao gently.
Sun Dao took the initiative to retreat, and Mrs. Qin naturally wouldn't care about him as a junior; What's more, how can you say that Sun Dao also has some kindness to the Qin Mansion......
