When Old Madam Qin saw Qin Jinxiu, the smile on her face was even worse. took her hand and said, "Sister Xiu'er is well-behaved and lovely, who is willing not to hurt you?" ”

took Qin Jinyi's hand again, closed it with Qin Jinxiu, and said, "Come and meet your sister." ”

Qin Jinxiu looked at her fixedly, dressed in a plain blue pattern brocade robe, the embroidery was exquisite, but the color of the brocade was slightly dull. The skin is whiter than snow, a little whiter than ordinary people.

Qin Jinyi also raised her eyes to look at her, with a faint smile on her lips that seemed to be alienated and friendly. The purple eyes are like a clear spring flowing in a blink of an eye. Qin Jinxiu's heart was suddenly startled for no reason, and there seemed to be some danger in her heart.

She froze, and at the bottom of her heart seemed to be annoyed that she could feel like this. Although the person in front of him is beautiful, he has a pair of eyes that are too strange. Although she is the same as herself, she is a young lady of Houmen, but she grew up in that kind of unsightly place, which famous family in Jianye City is willing to marry such a person to enter the door? Except for the way to enter the palace as a female official, there is no second way to choose.

This is my blessing, your life.

At the end, I couldn't help but feel a little strange, I heard my mother say that Jin Yi sent back a letter asking for peace every month, and the tone of the letter was cautious and respectful, saying that she was in a difficult situation. Although he didn't explicitly say that he wanted to come back, there was a meaning between the lines.

Qin Jinxiu expected that the Qin Jinyi she saw should be thin and withered and poor, who knew that when she saw her, although she was not plump, she was not thin. The skin is moist, but the complexion is excellent.

For a while, there was some faint suspicion in my heart.

Xu Shi was still standing at the door at this time, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Qin Jinyi, that face, that complexion, especially the purple eyes, were the same as the Jiang family back then.

Xu Meixin's mood at this moment, just like when she first met Jiang Jirou, the two complex and contradictory feelings of envy and disgust came to her heart at the same time.

It wasn't until she saw Queen Jiang Yuke from afar that she realized that this kind of love was jealousy. How can there be a woman born so bewitching and deceptive, those purple eyes are blurry and evil, no wonder some people call her a demon queen behind their backs, but she is the exclusive favor of today's saints.

I heard that the Yekang royal family regards purple eyes as precious, and the purpler the eyes, the purer and more noble the bloodline.

Jiang's eyes are lighter than the queen's, and the purple in the eyes of Qin Jinyi in front of him is much lighter.

Old Madam Qin saw the expressions of Xu's mother and daughter in her eyes, but she just smiled and said to Xu: "Haven't you been talking about Sister Yi these days, why are you only looking at her with fixed eyes now." ”

He said to Qin Jinyi again: "This is your stepmother." It was your father's concubine Xu. ”

Xu came back to his senses, took two steps with a smile on his face, grabbed Qin Jinyi's hand, and said, "But I hope you back, the old ancestor has been remembering you all these years." I have also persuaded your father many times to bring you back sooner. ”

At this time, Qin Jinyi stood up and saluted Xu Shifu, a smile quickly flashed across her face, the smile stopped at her lips and froze, her eyes were bright, and she called out calmly: "Stepmother!" ”

He turned his head to Qin Jinxiu again, with a smile on his face, and took her hand cordially and kindly, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but the third sister is getting better and better." ”

Xu Shi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at Qin Jinxiu.

Qin Jinxiu also seemed quite satisfied with Jinyi, who was so modest and polite, and smiled and let her hold her hand and talk to her.

For a while, Mrs. Qin said to Xu: "Go back and find some good materials to come out and make a few clothes for Sister Yi'er." The color on her body doesn't look glamorous. ”

Xu's expression was a little bad, and he responded with a forced smile.

Jin Yi smiled faintly at her and said to Old Madam Qin: "Stepmother has been thinking about it for a long time, and someone sent a lot of materials a month ago. ”

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she knew that the piece on her body must have been sent by the Xu family. I couldn't say it clearly, so I nodded and said nothing.

Xu Shi was a little embarrassed, so he turned around and blamed the maid Guilan behind him: "Last month, you were asked to choose a few good materials to send to the second lady, why don't you pick ...... carefully?"

Qin Jinyi chuckled, instructed Qiao Wei to take a brocade box, handed it to Qin Jinxiu, and said, "Give my sister a gift, and please don't dislike my sister." This is a piece of old jade that I specially selected for my sister in Huayin Mountain, and the tired silk on it is made by me by pushing the base, and burning blue is Qiaowei's craftsmanship. Although it is not as good as the handwriting of a famous teacher in Kyoto, it is my own heart. ”

Qin Jinxiu took the brocade box and opened it to see that inside was a tired silk chisel flower half-winged butterfly hairpin, the butterfly wings were as thin as cicada wings, and the indigo lines were pointed, lifelike. The hairpin head is inlaid with a thumb-sized piece of bean green oil and emerald, green and tender color, and at a glance you know that it is a high-grade old pit emerald stone.

Qin Jinxiu's face showed joy, put it in his hand to look at it carefully, and handed it over to appreciate it with Old Madam Qin. The beauty of this butterfly hairpin is so beautiful that even Old Madam Qin, who has been accustomed to seeing good things all her life, can't help but praise it.

Qin Jinxiu couldn't put it down, and when she looked at Qin Jinyi's eyes again, she was not as detached as before, and she was a lot more affectionate. Thinking in my heart that I will enter the palace in the future, and with the help of such skillful female officials, I will definitely be able to crown the crown and win the sacred heart.

Xu's face was even more unbearable, and he was also busy praising it. But I couldn't help but think that Qin Jinyi had been in Shangxiutang for nine years, and the family had never sent anything over before, so such a piece of bean green oil and green was worth a lot of money.

Old Madam Qin pulled Qiao Wei to speak again. When Qin Jinyi was sent out of the house, he was only six years old. Qiaowei, the little maid beside her, was a year older than her, crying and begging to serve the young lady together. At that time, Mrs. Qin sighed that she was young but she was really a loyal servant, and she looked at her differently when she returned today.

Old Mrs. Qin saw that Qiaowei's complexion was slightly yellow, and asked Fang Zhi to study skillful skills in Shangxiutang, and the processes of tire making, burning blue, and abrasives were all pungent smells and powdery dust, which would inevitably damage the physique and erode the texture for a long time. Therefore, Qiao Wei volunteered to replace Qin Jinyi to practice skill.

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she couldn't help but praise Qiao Wei again, and felt sorry for Qin Jinyi's suffering, so she asked about the house that the Xu family had prepared for Qin Jinyi.

Xu didn't dare to make any more mistakes, and after thinking about it with the old lady, he added a lot of things. Old Madam Qin even sent the big girl Caijing who was in charge of the needle beside her, and a grandmother Wang who was in charge of the stove to serve in Qin Jinyi's Fu Jin Xuan.

At this time, I could only hear a burst of lively laughter in the courtyard, and the other three rooms in the house also arrived. For a while, the room was lively, and Xu affectionately pulled Qin Jinyi to introduce her one by one.

"This is your eldest aunt, this is your third uncle, fourth aunt......" Qin Jinyi said hello one by one. The fourth uncle, Xie Shi, entered the door after she left home, and she was the second daughter of Suiyang Xie, who was born gentle and weak, and smiled shyly at Qin Jinyi.

The fourth uncle, like her father, was born by Mrs. Qin. But because he was weak and sick since he was a child, he died soon after he got married, leaving only a posthumous child, who is only seven years old this year.

Xie Shi gently pulled up Qin Jinyi, and on her slender wrist, the bracelet with white jade inlaid silk patterns looked a little too big, which made her look a little weak, "When your fourth uncle was here, he often mentioned you to me, saying that you were well-behaved and clever, and you were the most likable." As he spoke, his eyes turned a little red.

The Xu family on the side frowned, and didn't say anything, only pulled Qin Jinyi to see a few sisters. Qin Xiang, who came out of the big house, is the oldest in this generation, and he is called the eldest lady. Qin Jinyi ranked second, and Qin Jinxiu was third. And then down is Qin Lian in the third room, who is also a concubine.

In the generation of Qin Fuzhong, all men used brocade characters regardless of their concubines, but the daughters of their concubines only used single words as their names to distinguish them.

Old Madam Qin asked again, "What about Jinru?" She was still in my room this morning and was going out of the city to wait for her sister, why didn't she see anyone here? ”

Yingxue on the side replied with a smile: "Sister Ru'er came to make trouble with the ancestor in the morning, and then ran back to the mansion over there to find his brother." This should be the right time to be back. ”

Old Madam Qin asked Qin Jinyi, "Do you remember your brother Xuan?" He has now attacked the Marquis of Changfeng in the mansion over there, and he is too busy to live at home every day. I took Jinru and stayed with me. You used to play together when you were kids, and now you're all grown up. If the elder sister has already decided on the family matter last year, she is the eldest son of the Zhongyi Mansion, and she will be hired next year. ”
