Chapter 12 A concubine is a concubine
Because of this dream, she could not sleep any longer, so she simply got up and went to the window, and sat on the cold hard chair and looked out at the dark night until dawn.
When Jin Shu pushed the door in, he saw Qin Huaiyu leaning obliquely on the soft pillow in front of the window in a daze.
The winter morning is a little chilly even with the daylight.
It was clearly the rising sun, but the sunlight falling on the girl's body was not vigorous, but it seemed to be a layer of blood light for her.
Jin Shu's heart jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously shouted: "Miss-"
Qin Huaiyu turned his head, his eyes were dyed a little bloody, and he looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
This realization made Jinshu take a step back suddenly, and said, "Little, miss, you ......"
She was just promoted, she has an honest temperament, she has never seen such an eldest lady, and she was a little scared for a while.
Qin Huaiyu retracted his gaze again, and said lightly: "What's wrong?"
The blood in her eyes faded, leaving only the indifference of Gujing Wubo.
Jin Shu only felt that he was dazzled, and he fixed his mind, and said, "It's not too early, Miss is going to say hello to the old lady?"
This old lady Qin is a person who likes to be lively, and every morning she needs her children and grandchildren to go to ask for peace.
Qin Huaiyu nodded, no matter how ugly she spoke yesterday, she would not do anything that was criticized on the surface.
She cleaned up briefly, pressed down the blue and black under her eyes with fat powder, and went to Ning'an Hall with the brocade book.
Before entering the door, I heard a woman's coquettish laughter from inside: "Grandmother is obviously not old at all, you say this, granddaughter is the first one who does not follow." ”
It was Qin Hongkite.
Hearing the continuous laughter inside, Qin Huaiyu evoked a just right smile, motioned for Jinshu to wait outside, and walked in calmly.
"Greetings to Grandmother. ”
Seeing her coming, the room was quiet for a while, and the smile on Old Madam Qin's face was a little stiff, but it returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "Miss Huaiyu is here, sit down." ”
Qin Huaiyu responded with a smile, and glanced at the room imperceptibly, a little surprised for a while.
The ladies of the Qin family's third room, except for their own mother, who was sick and never came, almost all of them arrived, which is really strange.
Although Mrs. Qin loves to be lively, she doesn't look down on the second aunt and the third aunt, these two don't come here much on weekdays, and they can avoid it. Even when they came, they only sat for a moment and left in a hurry.
But today, not only did they come, but they also brought the children together, and even Qin Huaibai, who had just learned to walk and couldn't even speak clearly, was hugged by the nurse.
What kind of wind is this?
Qin Huaiyu thought in his heart, but his face was plain, and after giving the two aunts a salute, he sat back in his position.
It didn't take long for her to know why.
"Huaiyu girl came just in time, yesterday the eldest princess sent an invitation to the plum blossom banquet, and the day of the banquet was set on the sixteenth of this month. ”
The eldest princess was widowed in her early years and lived in the house, but she was a good one. Because there is a plum garden in her house, the color is very good when it is in full bloom, so the banquet is held here every year, so it is named "plum blossom banquet".
This plum blossom banquet has rules, and the young lady of the family in the palace of officials above the third grade in Beijing went with her mother, requiring high morality and good character.
Therefore, the women in Beijing are proud to get the invitation to this plum blossom banquet.
The Marquis of Pingyuan is a hereditary title, and her father is a famous general, with real military exploits in his hands. This invitation, of course, is also the first one.
At this time, hearing the words of Old Madam Qin, Qin Huaiyu instantly understood. No wonder it's so neat, it's to prepare for the feast.
I didn't want to, but the next moment, I saw Old Madam Qin continue to speak, but she said something else.
She glanced at Wang Wanqing with gentle eyes, and said lightly: "Since your mother is still sick, let Wanqing take you two girls this time, so that you can take care of it." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Wanqing next to her said with a little shyness: "Old lady, the concubine has never participated in such an occasion, I am afraid that I will lose the face of our Hou Mansion, it is better to let the lady take the children there." ”
Hearing this, Old Madam Qin snorted and said, "The Zhuang family is still sick, how can I take them out?" I can rest assured that you will do things, this time you will take the two girls to the eldest princess's mansion." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Huaiyu and said, "As the eldest daughter, you must have the bearing of the Marquis of Pingyuan, and follow your aunt for a good life, don't make a mistake with your little temperament, understand?"
Qin Huaiyu lowered her eyes and chuckled, if she didn't know Old Madam Qin's intentions at this point, she would be a fool.
This is because he feels that his mother is seriously ill, and he is anxious to push Wang Wanqing to the front of the stage to make a familiar face. I'm afraid that I will make a little character to refute her, so while all the elders are there, I feel that my girl's family is thin-skinned, so she will definitely not refute her, right?
In the plum blossom banquet in her previous life, she owed Qin Hongkite a favor, so she should accept this matter.
But in this life, they want to jump up through their mouths. That's it, think beautifully!
"Mother can't go out when she is sick, isn't there a second aunt? It's not that there is no one in our Plains Hou Mansion, why do you want your aunt to take us to the banquet?"
Qin Huaiyu had a smile on his face, but the words he said pierced people's hearts.
Old Madam Qin choked on her words, obviously didn't expect that she would refute her words in front of everyone, took a deep breath and said, "Your second aunt still wants to take care of Hongyao and Hongmiao, how can you take care of the two sisters?"
"Didn't my grandmother just say that Huaiyu, as the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, has her own demeanor, so I naturally don't need to be taken care of. As for the second sister, you have always praised her for being sensible and smart, and I think that our sisters will not cause trouble to the second aunt. Second aunt, are you right?"
Seeing Qin Huaiyu suddenly call her name, Liu Yueniang in the second room was a little surprised for a while, but she still smiled and said, "The eldest lady is calm, how can she cause trouble." ”
She has always been at odds with her mother-in-law, and she has been secretly tortured on weekdays, and she has long stopped brushing her good feelings in front of her mother-in-law.
Old Madam Qin was embarrassed by her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and her face suddenly sank: "Nonsense, you two girls, how can you do without your elders?" It's so decided, Aunt Wang will take you there!"
Seeing that she was angry, Qin Huaiyu still had a smile on her face: "Grandmother said this, an aunt took the serious lady of the Hou Mansion to attend the banquet of the eldest princess. I don't know-I thought that the Plains Marquis Mansion had no master. ”
When she said this, she continued to poke the knife lightly: "The eldest princess has always been the most disciplined, and grandmother doesn't want our Pingyuan Hou Mansion to become a laughing stock in Beijing, right?"
