Chapter Ninety-Six: What's Going On

Only then did everyone see that she was still holding a black and red box in her hand, so Ruyi took it and put it on the kang table in front of Qin Daixin.

Qin Dai smiled, but she didn't mean to open it in front of Fang Qiao, and asked, "What good things does my aunt want to give me?" ”

Fang Qiao said: "It's just some jewelry, my aunt said that the young lady is older, and she always needs more jewelry to be around, she doesn't go out of the door, and it's a waste to wear these good things." ”

Last time, Su had already given her a box of jewelry to dowry, why did he give her so much this time?

If it weren't for this, I am afraid that the Su family would not have changed from a wife to a concubine, and the flesh and blood would have been separated for 20 years. At the beginning, the box of jewelry could still be understood as Su's dowry, but where did the jewelry in the box come from?

Fang Qiao seemed to understand her thoughts, and said, "This is from the old man to my aunt." After that, she was going to go back, and she left her as she wished, but she said: "My aunt's body is getting heavier and heavier, so I better go out and wait by her side." He bent his knees and retreated.

Qin Dai almost sent it as she wished, and stared at the box on the table in a daze.

Ruyi sent Fang Qiao all the way to the corner gate of the courtyard, and asked quietly: "Sister Fang Qiao, you will be eighteen after the New Year, and your aunt doesn't mean to let you out of the house?" ”

Fang Qiao was stunned for a moment, and said: "My aunt has mentioned it many times, it's just that I really don't want to, you also know the situation of my family, I'm just afraid that my sister-in-law will find a family affair for me, so won't my life be over?" It's better to stay with my aunt and wait for her and the little boy, so that I can feel more at ease. ”

Fang Qiao's sister-in-law is a spiller who only recognizes money, and she wants Fang Qiao to come out several times, in order to marry her to an old rich man in his fifties in the same village.

The two talked for a while, and then went back to the courtyard without mentioning it.

Qin Dai's heart retreated, staring at the box in a daze, mentioning the Su family, she would always think of her brother who had never met, I don't know why, her heart was always sour, she was afraid that she couldn't resist the affection of the blood in the bones that was thicker than water!

The box is mostly filled with gorgeous jewelry such as Jin Hairpin Buyao, it seems that Qin Congwen is still good to the Su family, at least except for her reputation, she has never treated her badly.

But isn't fame the most important thing for a woman in her life?

Thinking of this, she also stopped looking at it, shouted Ruyi, and told her to put it away.

At the time of the unitary time, a mother-in-law came to urge, saying that the masters of each courtyard to enjoy the lanterns were almost ready, and asked the third lady if she was ready.

Qin Daixin had been ready for a long time, and when she got the letter from her mother-in-law, she asked Ruyi, Ailian, Xueqing, and Chunli to follow, and followed the hall all the way to the corner gate where the carriage of the Qin Mansion was placed, there was a row of side rooms, several of which were used for the master to rest, Qin Daixin walked into one of them according to the mother-in-law's instructions.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that there were a lot of snacks, tea and other things in the small hall, and a girl was waiting on the side, and when she came, she bent her knees and saluted, and a girl opened the curtain for her, and she turned around and entered the ambiguous pavilion in the east room.

Fang Wanru sat on the big kang near the window with a dignified demeanor, holding Qin Ziyi, who was already four years old in her arms, Qin Daixin glanced at it with her spare eyes, and sure enough, she saw Li Shi sitting on a three-legged stool, and behind her stood a plump woman about thirty years old, Qin Daixin recognized that the woman was the nurse of her brother.

It's really unexpected, several aunts in the family are quite peaceful, why is this Aunt Li acting so unruly?

The Lin family is also dressed up, although she also wears a lot of jewelry with gold and jade, but it is difficult to hide her bookish temperament, only showing that she is dressed in jade bones, which is generous and not tacky.

She didn't have the heart to think about it, stepped forward to greet Fang Wanru, and then sat down next to the Lin family.

"A few of you sisters, you are in a hurry, the second girl and the fourth girl haven't been cleaned up yet, this one came first." Fang Wanru seemed to be in a good mood, teasing Brother Yi with the orange in her hand.

Brother Yi is usually a good child, and when he sees so many people, he doesn't cry and plays.

Qin Dai smiled and said, "Mother knows me best, on a day like this, where can I still sit." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and then heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, except for the second young lady Qin Qiaoxin, I am afraid that no one dares to act like this. The curtain was lifted, and sure enough, Qin Qianxin, who was as red as coals, rushed over like a gust of wind.

She seems to have a special preference for red, the sunset red brocade narrow-sleeved jacket, the high-waisted corset skirt embroidered with dark green water ripples of the same color, and the whole person's eyebrows are dancing in color, which has a different style.

Fang Wanru said: "Why are you in such a hurry, you don't have the appearance of a girl's family." The tone is gentle, but it does not mean blame, and the love in his eyes is also from the heart.

Qin Qianxin was not angry, she asked Fang Wanru to say goodbye, and she saw the Lin family again.

Lin Daixin hurriedly stood up and called out "Second Sister", although they were a little unkind to each other, but they should be able to get by, the two sisters greeted each other, and then they sat separately again.

Qin Daixin still sat next to the Lin family, but Qin Qianxin took off her shoes and sat next to Fang Wanru, never looking at the Li family with her eyes straight from beginning to end.

Li Shi was slightly embarrassed, but suddenly said to Qin Daixin: "Third Miss, this dress is really beautiful, but I don't know if it was made a new one a year ago?" I heard that I also made a set of small jacket skirts of smoke and rain brocade for the third lady, which is beautiful, why didn't I wear it today? ”

There was a bit of provocative meaning in the words.

Qin Daixin hurriedly glanced at Qin Qianxin, and the latter's face turned ugly.

Qin Qianxin knew the cloth, knew that it was the material for weaving jade spinning, not to mention expensive, it may not be possible to buy it if you have money, in the early years, somehow, her mother got a horse by chance, she begged several times, but she couldn't make a dress for a little bit, why was her mother willing to give the material to the third child?

"Aunt Li is well-informed, better than the girl in charge of the cage in my house, she knows better, but she just has a set of small jackets and skirts with smoke and rain brocade, but the clothes are too exquisite, I am afraid that I will be scratched on the street, and I will really feel distressed to death, so I didn't wear it." Qin Dai pretended not to hear Li's ridicule, and replied to her quietly.

Li's face was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say to refute for a while, I don't know when these three young ladies became so powerful, and they actually compared themselves with a girl in a cage.

Fang Wanru didn't like this topic, so she said, "Why hasn't the five girls come yet?" But he didn't mention Qin Ruoxin.

Zheng's mother hurriedly said, "The slave sent someone to take a look." After saying that, he sent a little girl to the Hibiscus Garden.

Fifth Miss Qin Peixin was born to the Qi family, six years old, Qin Daixin has seen it a few times, but she only thinks that this child is timid, she is careful in everything, and she knows how to observe words and feelings, but fortunately she is still young, but she can't see what her temperament is.

Shao Tian had a daughter-in-law with a woman's head leading the fifth lady in, and saluted Fang Wanru in a regular manner, and saw the Lin family and the two sisters.

Qin Daixin noticed that the fifth lady secretly glanced at Fang Wanru, and saw that she was holding her righteous brother in her arms, and her face was as usual, so she was secretly relieved.

Are you afraid of upsetting Fang Wanru? A six-year-old child, it's really hard for her.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, another person like a flower came in, it was the fourth lady Qin Ruoxin, I saw that she was wearing a peach-colored five-bat holding the clouds with a small jacket with all sleeves, combing her ingots, and only wearing two vivid silk flowers.

"Mother, my daughter is late." Qin Ruoxin first saluted Fang Wanru, and then spoke apologetically.

"No defense, no defense, come and sit next to your sister-in-law." Fang Wanru looked very casual, as if she really didn't care.

Qin Ruoxin had only seen Lin and Qin Qianxin at this time, and then sat next to Qin Daixin, and as usual, she smiled shyly at Qin Daixin, as if the dispute between the two that day was just a one-man show sung by Qin Daixin alone.

Qin Daixin didn't mind, and smiled at her in a friendly way, beckoning her to come over.

Qin Ruoxin's face froze, and then immediately showed a happy expression, and he really leaned his ears over.

Fang Wanru watched every move of the two of them, but she didn't have any expression, still teasing the righteous brother in her arms.

Qin Dai turned a deaf ear to the thoughts of everyone in the room, and only whispered in Qin Ruoxin's ear: "Does this count as you taking the initiative to provoke me?" "If Qin Daixin is changed from before, I am afraid that I will be obsessed with the matter of arguing in the garden, not only will I not show any smile, but most of them will sneer at Qin Ruoxin's overtures. Qin Ruoxin was afraid that he had also made such an calculation, so he would pretend to be "already fine" as he had previously suspected, so that Fang Wanru would feel that Qin Daixin was a person who didn't care about sisterhood. Only this time, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint her.

Qin Ruoxin's face turned white and he was speechless.

Fang Wanru didn't see the interaction between the two, looked at the sky, and ordered the mother-in-law to invite Fang and Qin Congwen over.

Qin Dai was stunned for a moment, the Fang family was old and rarely went out, and on a festival like today, she only told Fang Wanru to take care of a few children, and she rested early. Qin Congwen is the head of the family, and in the past, he was in the company of business books, and he rarely attended this kind of occasion, what happened today?

She kind of understood why Lee had suddenly appeared.

A mother-in-law replied, saying that Mrs. Tai and the old man had already gotten into their respective carriages, and only invited the lady and grandmother in the house, and the ladies to go out.

Fang Wanru hurriedly handed his brother to the nurse who took care of him, and told Qin Qianxin to get up quickly, and the two of them hurriedly asked her mother-in-law to help her put on her shoes, get off the kang, and slightly trim her clothes, and then took the lead in walking out of the pavilion.

When everyone saw this, they hurriedly got up and rushed out.

It wasn't until she got out of the corner gate and got into the carriage that Qin Daixin learned from Ruyi's mouth that this year's Shangyuan Festival was indeed different from previous years.

Lord Zhizhou set up a high platform on the street, and invited many jugglers to entertain the people of Taizhou on the Shangyuan Festival, saying that the people with heads and faces in Taizhou City were posted, and under the stage, they discussed the grand event of the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce.

Qin Dai didn't think so, she only felt that this matter had nothing to do with her at all, and after thinking about it, she felt a little weird, this Lord Zhizhou is a well-known and honest official, and he shouldn't use the name of Shangyuan Festival to make money, but what is going on with this grand event of the Chamber of Commerce?

ps: It's probably the New Year, so everyone doesn't have time to read the update, right?
