Chapter Twenty-Four: The First Move
As soon as such an idea popped up in her mind, Qin Dai's heart suddenly felt bored. With a wave of his hand, everyone dispersed. She herself turned and went into the house.
Bypassing the flower hall and walking through the hall, Qin Daixin came all the way to the inner room.
The inside of the house is almost exactly the same as when she left, but it is already winter, and the bed has been replaced with a heavy bed net, a thick cotton quilt, and although there is a ground dragon in the house, Chun-Li still put a carbon basin under the bed early in the morning.
"Miss, do you want to freshen up?" Ruyi asked softly.
It was still early, and Qin Daixin suddenly wanted to take a shower.
"The slave and maid ordered someone to boil hot water."
Ruyi stepped back lightly, leaving Qin Daixin alone, her eyes suddenly touched the jewelry box given to her by the Su family, and a small warm current passed through her heart that she hadn't even noticed.
Lying in the box is the dowry of the Su family, although it is not much, but each piece is a fine product, one of the strings of jade bracelets, it is very similar to the string that the Fang family often holds in his hands, whether it is a product or a water head, it is a first-class boutique, no wonder it will be regarded as an heirloom treasure.
Qin Daixin doesn't have much money to do, and when facing these valuable treasures, what she values most is Su's heart. After a cursory look at the jewelry in the box, Qin Daixin's eyes were suddenly attracted by a pendant.
This thing is really a bit inconspicuous, if it wasn't put into this box by the Su family, it is really hard to imagine that this thing would be a treasure. This is a teardrop-shaped jade pendant, half of which is milky white jade, which looks more like pebbles, and the other half is black, non-jade and non-stone, and the material is completely indistinguishable. Where the two are combined, the water and milk are blended, as if they were naturally formed, and there is no trace of splicing or bonding. The entire jade pendant is tied with an inconspicuous white loop, and there is no value at all.
Maybe it's not something of value, it's just that Su's preferred object isn't necessarily either. Qin Daixin picked it up and hung it around her neck, looking at the jade pendant that fell on her chest, she seemed to be able to see Su's smiling face, subtle but extremely satisfied. She'll be happy to see it!
Ruyi sent someone to deliver the bath water, sent the rough mother-in-law to put the wooden barrels, screens and other things in place, and asked the little girls to sprinkle the dried petals into the bucket, looking at the few people standing on the side who couldn't move, Qin Daixin reacted, everyone was waiting to serve her to take a bath.
The crows on the top of the head only increased a lot and flew in flocks, but did the hateful ancients understand what "**" was?
"Let's all go down!" There was a bit of unintentional embarrassment in his tone.
The two little girls didn't dare to move, and glanced at Ruyi with their eyes.
Ruyi has long been taught.,Since the accident with the young lady.,The personality has not become a little bit.,The previous preferences have all changed.,She wasn't very used to it at the beginning.,Fortunately, I know it now.γ
"Let's go down!" Ruyi took the lead in going out, which can be regarded as an exemplary and leading role.
"Yes." The two little girls followed closely behind, turned around and walked out of the inner room.
When Qin Daixin was the only one left in the house, she was the most relaxed. As long as someone is there, even if it is wishful, it will make her a little guarded, and always remind her of her identity. Now she is the only one left in the house, and there seems to be nothing more beautiful than sitting in the hot water and taking a bath, putting aside her worries for a while, and relaxing.
Meimei took a hot bath, Qin Daixin's mood seemed to improve, and she called someone to remove the wooden barrels and other things in the house, and called Chunli to help her wipe her hair.
Ruyi began to prepare for the clothes and accessories to go to Jiafu tomorrow, and there was a little girl about the same age as Chunli who helped, and Qin Daixin remembered that she had another second-class girl named Ailian.
"Miss, look at it, how is this outfit?"
Qin Daixin didn't look at it and said, "When it comes to clothes, won't my mother send my mother over?" β
Ruyi heard it, the momentum weakened, and the excitement of Fang Cai disappeared in an instant. Yes, even if the young lady is dressed up like a fairy, what is the use, as long as the lady sends a mother, and the color is bright and superficial, the young lady will have to change back to plain clothes, if so, I am afraid that there will be no chance to get Mrs. Jia's favor when she enters the Jia Mansion.
Qin Daixin saw Ruyi like a deflated ball, and her heart was ambiguous, and she ordered: "Find a few sets of color primitives, and let my mother see them tomorrow before wearing them." β
"Yes." Ruyi responded, with a bit of reluctance in his tone.
After being busy for a while, Qin Daixin's hair was finally dried.
"Chun-Li stays outside to watch the night, you two go back and rest!"
The three of them agreed and each stepped back.
On the first night of returning home, it was so calm that there was nothing to say. Early the next morning, before dawn, Ruyi called someone to wake up, Qin Daixin was pressed to the dresser by the girls, and began to groom up.
Only combed a double silk buckle and wore two beaded flowers. There was some fine powder on his face, and he simply trimmed his eyebrows, and slightly dipped his mouth grease, but he didn't even apply rouge.
At this time, the little girls picked up the curtains and said that Zheng's mother was here. This is the first time Qin Daixin has seen Zheng's mother since returning home, and her eyes have been lingering on several sets of clothes since she entered the house, Qin Daixin knew that she had guessed correctly, Fang Wanru was there, and she really cared about her dress as a concubine.
Dressed too brilliantly, I am afraid that I will steal the limelight of my daughter-in-law, of course Fang Wanru doesn't like it.
If she is dressed too plainly, it will also make the Qin family lose its faΓ§ade, and I am afraid that if outsiders will talk about her Fang family's mistreatment of concubines, it will naturally not work. Only by sending a competent mother to see it will have the best of both worlds.
Sure enough, when Mother Zheng saw that what was on the side were some elegant and bright but not high-profile clothes, the expression on her face became a little more natural, and she picked out a yellow cardigan for Qin Daixin, with a dark tulip dress of the same color, and a lotus-colored petal gown was added on the outside.
It wasn't until Qin Daixin got dressed without objection that she smiled and said a few more words and went to the front yard.
Ruyi, Chunli pouted at her back, and helped Qin Daixin pick up the gadgets she was carrying. After tossing for a full hour, it wasn't until it was a good fit that Qin Daixin let Ruyi follow, put on a cloak with fur on the inside and outside, and went to the front yard without taking the hand warmer.
Fang Wanru's courtyard was already full of people, Ruyi peeked a few times, then didn't dare to look around, and followed Fang Wanru's warm pavilion with his head down.
As soon as Qin Daixin entered the door, Fang Wanru noticed her dress, at first she heard Zheng's mother say that she was a little dull, she didn't believe it, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she really felt that as she said, not only was it not brilliant, but it also damaged her original aura, thinking of this, she couldn't help but show a smile.
Qin Daixin just didn't see it, and asked for peace in a regular manner. Then I saw a beautiful woman sitting next to her who combed her hair, but she was about twenty years old, and although she had fine makeup on her face, she couldn't hide her talent, and she smelled of books from the inside out, and she recognized it immediately.
When I first woke up, this man came to visit. It is the talented girl of Taizhou, her sister-in-law Lin Qingyue.
Qin Dai bowed half-respectfully, and said softly: "I've seen my sister-in-law." β
Lin Qingyue hurriedly got up and pulled her up, looked at her and said, "I only found out about your return last night, I wanted to go and see, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest." When I saw it today, it was all right? β
"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law are worried, it's all right." I don't know what the character of this sister-in-law is, so it's better to respond not far away first, and I will always see the clues in the future.
Lin Qingyue took her hand, sat down affectionately and naturally, and asked, "Why didn't you take the stove?" β
At this moment, the girls picked up the curtain and said that the fourth lady had arrived.
This is the second time Qin Daixin has seen Miss Four, when she saw her earlier, she was in a daze, and she couldn't tell who was who, but now again, she saw the slightly shy girl in front of her.
A small jacket with a crescent moon and white cloud pattern, with a green placket, a lake-colored tuck skirt underneath, and embroidered shoes with thick soles. Only combed a double screw bun, inserted two silver plum blossom knots, and a pair of ruby studs the size of rice grains fell on his ears, which was not ostentatious at all. She combed her bangs and had a plain face, which was originally a delicate face that had been washed away, but because of a pair of peach blossom eyes, she suddenly had a little more taste of wind and dust.
She first greeted Fang Wanru, then Lin Qingyue, and finally looked at Qin Daixin with a happy face, timidly took her hand, and sat down under her.
is only thirteen years old, and his acting skills are already so proficient. It is rumored that the third and fourth ladies are the best in the house, so why do we have to show it, don't we?
Qin Dai affectionately pulled the fourth lady and whispered in her ear. Fang Wanru only thought that they were two heartless people, and they didn't care, but they didn't see the surprise and astonishment that flashed on the fourth lady's face.
The hour was not early, but the second young lady Qin Qianxin was not seen for a long time. There were four people in the room, with different expressions, only Qin Daixin was slightly impetuous, and seemed to be a little impatient.
Ruyi stood behind Qin Daixin, her heart was clear, and her master was acting again. In the past, she always felt that the young lady was too simple, and she showed her likes and dislikes on her face in everything, and she didn't know how to forbear, let alone hide it. But since she recovered, it was like a different person. If you have seen the laziness of her two mothers; I have seen her ruthlessness when she intimidates Mrs. Feng; I have even seen her calmness when dealing with Qin Fengge. It is said that my aunt and grandmother are not easy to mess with, but the young lady only dealt with her, but she only said a few words......
At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and a graceful person walked in from outside, it was Miss Qin Er, who was belated.
