73. Chapter 73

"I heard the old lady's laughter from afar, what is so happy."

Qin Yuan entered the old lady's room, and said with a smile on her face as she walked, and the old lady heard the sound and saw that Qin Yuan was extremely happy, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Come, sit next to grandmother." Qin Yuan smiled sweetly and sat beside her grandmother, and then the eldest lady got up and blessed her body and said, "The concubine asks for peace to Concubine Hui." ”

Qin Yuan smiled softly, "There are no outsiders here, the eldest lady doesn't have to be polite, sit down quickly." The eldest lady just smiled lightly, and then sat back down.

Qin Yuan then turned to the old lady and said, "Yuan'er has just entered the mansion and is busy taking care of some things, so I didn't have time to come to see you, don't think about it." The old lady smiled indifferently, "Grandmother naturally understands you, the days in the palace are orderly, naturally there is no such freedom in the house, and you have to adapt to it for a few days." ”

"It's not, Yuan'er has slept every day until three poles a day in the past few days, and she feels lazy."

"You are pregnant now, naturally you want to have a good rest, the food at home is still appetizing, if you feel that it is not your appetite, just tell your grandmother, and your grandmother will immediately change the cook."

"Grandmother specially invited the cook of Cuixiang Pavilion to serve Yuan'er, how can it be bad? The meals have not been the same in the past few days, and they are better than those made in the palace. ”

Grandmother nodded reassuringly, "That's good, I can't give in to you now." ”

"Grandmother has received the items that Yuan'er brought from the palace?" , The old lady suddenly smiled, and the Queen Mother held Qin Yuan's hand and said with great satisfaction, "Received, I am very happy that you can go back to your grandmother, why bring so many precious treasures, grandmother is old, can you enjoy it for a few years?" As long as she can see you a few more times before she dies, my grandmother will be satisfied. ”

Qin Yuan's face quickly turned anxious, "Bah, the good grandmother said this unlucky thing, grandmother is now in good health, how many more decades can I do." The old lady smiled kindly, "Yes, yes, grandmother doesn't say such unlucky words, grandmother hasn't seen the birth of the emperor's grandson." Qin Yuan smiled at Mei and nodded vigorously.

Since Qin Yuan entered the room so that the old lady could chat happily, the old lady did not look at the eldest lady directly, the eldest lady looked indifferently at this time, and felt that she was redundant for a while, and then slowly got up and said softly, "Hui Gui Concubine, old lady, the concubine will not disturb the two, and the concubine will retire." ”

The old lady and Qin Yuan turned their heads to look at the eldest lady, the smile on the corner of their mouths gradually faded, how could Qin Yuan let the eldest lady leave so easily, when the eldest lady turned to leave, Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "Why is the eldest lady so busy leaving, it's almost time for lunch, it's okay to stay and eat?" ”

The eldest lady smiled lightly and declined in a low voice, "Concubine Hui and the old lady haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have a lot to say, and the concubine is inconvenient to disturb." Qin Yuan said indifferently, "This concubine just said that there are no outsiders here, and since this concubine entered the house, she hasn't had a good chat with the eldest lady." ”

The old lady then waved her hand at the eldest lady and motioned for the eldest lady to sit down, "You can stay and eat." Seeing that the old lady had spoken, the eldest lady sat down indifferently, and Qin Yuan then said, "It's still the old lady's words that work, and the eldest lady will stay in one sentence." ”

The old lady smiled faintly, "Since the eldest lady entered the house, she has come to accompany her grandmother every day, changing her ways to make her grandmother happy, having such a filial daughter-in-law, grandmother is naturally pleased, and she is similar to your age, and she is also thoughtful." The meaning of the old lady's words is inevitably the meaning of borrowing the eldest lady to replace Qin Yuan, why can't the eldest lady on the side hear it? tightened the silk handkerchief in his hand, and it was difficult to hide the embarrassment for a while.

Qin Yuan smiled, and then said to the eldest lady, "The eldest lady is not only beautiful, but also respects the old and virtuous so much, this concubine heard that since the eldest lady entered the mansion, the mansion is much more orderly than before, and my father really married a virtuous helper this time." The eldest lady smiled humbly, "Concubine Hui's words are serious, and the concubine is just a matter of doing her duty." ”

"Although there are many heirs in the Xue Mansion now, they are all away from home and not in the mansion, leaving only Qin Wan and Mu Ling in the mansion, the concubine heard that Mu Ling is going to take the military attache exam this year, and Qin Wan has also reached the age of marriage, and the mansion will be even more deserted in the future, the eldest lady is young, but she has to work hard to add an heir to the Xue family, this concubine is now in the palace, if there are multiple younger brothers or sisters, she should take care of herself in the future." When the eldest lady heard this, she raised her head slightly and looked at Qin Yuan, and for a while she couldn't guess the truth of Qin Yuan's words, but her complexion eased a lot, "With the words of Concubine Hui, the concubine should be more energetic." ”

The old lady also nodded approvingly, "Yuan'er is right, it's been several months since you entered the mansion, why haven't you moved?" Now that Yuan'er is pregnant with a dragon fetus, the concubine will be just around the corner in the future, and you can also use it if you have an heir. ”

When the eldest lady saw that the old lady was helping to speak, she believed it a little, smiled and said humbly, "Yes, the concubine should be encouraged, and the concubine has thanked Concubine Hui in advance." ”

Qin Yuan smiled faintly, "It's all a family, and the eldest lady doesn't need to be so polite." Qin Yuan then looked at the tea ceremony utensils on the table, and then said with a smile, "But the eldest lady understands the tea ceremony?" The eldest lady smiled faintly and said with a slight bow, "Well, the concubine has been a little since elementary school." ”

"Oh? The emperor has always liked to drink tea on weekdays, and this concubine wants to study with the eldest lady, but I don't know if the eldest lady is willing to teach. ”

"The concubine should be willing."

Qin Yuan stood up happily after hearing this, sat next to the eldest lady, and said in a humble and soft voice, "Come on, take a pot of boiling water, the tea is about purifying the heart, so it is generally necessary to smoke incense, the first thing is to wash the tea, pour the boiling water into the pot, pour it out quickly, sit until the boiling water is wet with the tea leaves, and the action must not be too slow, otherwise the aroma of the tea will slip away with the boiling water, and then brew ......."

The eldest lady explained carefully while demonstrating, Qin Yuan pretended to listen very carefully, and occasionally copied a few times, and looked at the old lady on the side from time to time.

"The next step is to divide the cup, how to brew the tea, completely in this step, this step pays attention to the "jade liquid back to the pot", that is, the tea soup in the pot is poured into the fair cup, so that everyone can taste the color, fragrance, taste of the same tea ......"

The eldest lady was demonstrating and slowly explaining, Qin Yuan raised her eyes to look at the old lady at this time, the old lady was closing her eyes to recuperate, Qin Yuan saw that the time had come, so she glanced at Zhang Dehai.

Zhang Dehai immediately understood, gently pinched the caterpillar in his hand on his fingertips, his face was extremely engrossed, and after a few seconds of calculation, he raised his hand with his strength, and the caterpillar suddenly formed a parabola in the air, and it fell on the hand of the eldest lady impartially, and the corners of Zhang Dehai's mouth rose proudly when he saw this.

The eldest lady was frightened by the sudden caterpillar, hurriedly let go of the teacup in her hand, shook her arm and screamed, "Ah! This is such a thing! The teacup shattered instantly, and the frightened old lady who was recuperating on the side suddenly woke up and opened her eyes.

It doesn't matter if the eldest lady threw it, she knocked over the tea set on the entire tabletop to the ground, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, a pot of tea was sprinkled on Qin Yuan's slender jade fingers, Qian Qianyu's hands were suddenly burned red by boiling water, Qin Yuan was burned very painfully, her brows were furrowed for a while, her face looked extremely painful, and the old lady on the side was also frightened.

Then Qin Yuan got up and prepared to dodge, who knew that at this time, the insect in the eldest lady's hand had not yet fallen, and the eldest lady was still fighting her arms while screaming, "Oh my God! It's a bug, it's a bug! Damn, it's disgusting! The eldest lady stomped her foot in a hurry, and accidentally stepped on the corner of Qin Yuan's skirt, Qin Yuan saw that she deliberately stepped to the side, and pretended to fall heavily to the ground.

Dying Frost's face turned pale with fright for a while, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support Qin Yuan and exclaimed, "Master, you have nothing to do, right?" Qin Yuan oozed out her red and swollen arms, held her round belly, gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word in pain, "It hurts ......", the old lady was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly shouted, "Come here, hurry!" Fast! At this time, the eldest lady had already shaken off the insects, and when she saw Qin Yuan, who fell to the ground, she immediately stayed in place in shock.

The old lady shouted to the people around Qin Yuan, "What are you doing in a daze, don't help Yuan'er into the cabinet!" Zhang Dehai hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Qin Yuan and sent it to the cabinet, everyone followed in a chaotic manner, Qin Yuan was in the gap of everyone's support at this time, looking at the eldest lady standing in place in shock, and the corners of her mouth raised an imperceptible evil smile.
