Chapter 21: Accept the Golden Hairpin

Qin Li overheard the words of the prefect's wife, returned to the house, and asked the two maidservants in the house to support her and go to the door of the private room.

Through the closed wooden door, one of the maidservants who was supporting Qin Li reached out and knocked on the door, and then told Guo:

"Madam, the maid invited the young lady to come on the orders of the master."

Qin Li soon heard Guo's words:

"Miss hasn't recovered, but since Miss is here, you can take care of it."

"Yes, ma'am." As soon as the two maidservants heard Guo's words, they answered in unison, and after the wooden door was opened, they helped Qin Li into the house.

Qin Li saw the prefect's wife, with a detached and polite smile on her face, and said:

"The little woman Qin Li has seen the prefect's wife."

When she didn't come in, she still heard the prefect's wife say that it was a woman in their family who caused trouble and hurt her, and that she should be asked to punish that woman.

She is the victim, and she came in to meet the prefect's wife at this time, wanting to tell the prefect's wife how to get a certain woman to compensate her.

The prefect's wife, who was sitting across from her mother, was looking at her attentively the moment she walked in. The woman's eyes shone sharply, and the smile on her lips looked very fake.

The prefect's wife is not like Chu Xinyan, wearing gorgeous clothes and extremely luxurious jewelry. Like Guo's, Mrs. Prefect wore simple clothes with plain colors and did not wear much jewelry.

However, whether it is in terms of face or temperament, Guo is better than the prefect's wife.

As Qin Li slowly walked to the coffee table, a trace of doubt flashed faintly in the eyes of the prefect's lady looking at her. But he quickly regained his composure, and praised in front of Guo's face:

"Mrs. Qin, she is well-behaved and knowledgeable about etiquette. It's really not that I said, in this great Jiayu Mansion, I'm afraid I can't find a second woman who is so outstanding. When the old man saw her, he was very happy. ”

The smile on Guo's face was faint, as if he didn't want to deal with the prefect's wife, and replied:

"Mrs. Chu praised it falsely, but the little girl didn't dare to be it."

The prefect's wife didn't care, and the person who pushed people into the water was a member of their family. It's not very popular, but it's a reasonable thing. Moreover, she didn't really come to apologize to them when she came to the Qin Mansion.

But I was forced to come because of pressure.

Here, she told Guo what she should say. There's no need to stay here any longer. The prefect's wife gave a look to the maid standing aside, took the exquisite wooden box handed by the maidservant, and handed it to Guo with both hands.

"The old body has long heard that Ling Ai is a well-known talented woman. When I saw her today, I saw that she was elegant and vulgar, with a light spirit...... It would be an exaggeration to say that it is peerless. The old body didn't have much to offer, only this golden hairpin was given away, and Mrs. Qin and Ling Aimo were asked to dislike it. ”

When Qin Li saw the wooden box, he was still guessing in his heart that such a good-looking wooden box would be a jade hairpin or earrings.

As a result, it was a golden hairpin.

Oh, the prefect's wife is really "generous", when she loves money, it is so easy to send away? She just wanted that person to come and apologize to her in person!

Guo Shi didn't even look at the small wooden box, and said to the prefect's wife: "We understand your kindness." The little girl doesn't like to wear jewelry, and the gold hairpin made by the old body craftsman for her, as well as the jade hairpin, she rarely takes it out and wears it twice a year......"

"Mrs. Qin, look, the old body has been delivered, so you can accept it. Either way, this is a little caution on the part of the old body. The prefect's wife insisted on giving the gift.

Guo still refused to accept it.

The prefect's wife was helpless, so she had to take it to Qin Li with both hands and said, "Miss Qin, you are a good girl." I gave you this greeting gift, please accept it. ”

"Okay, thank you." Qin Li didn't shirk and accepted it directly.

Guo Shi glanced at Qin Li in embarrassment. This child, the jewelry that is left at home, there are too many to count. How had she ever seen her wear it? It's just a golden hairpin, and I took it! But where can she put her old face?

Qin Li knew Guo's thoughts, and could understand Guo's mood at the moment, complaining about her and not being competitive enough. But she took the gift with her own ideas.

I saw the prefect's wife stand up, as if she was about to leave this private room.

Qin Li smiled slightly, and said to the prefect's wife: "You gave me a big gift, and praised me for knowing the number of etiquette." Either way, I'll have to pay you back. ”

Hearing this, the prefect's wife, who had already stood up, hesitated before saying, "Miss Qin, you're welcome." I give you this gift, and I also have the meaning of making amends for you on behalf of Xinyan's disobedient girl. You can take it, and I'm already content. ”

As soon as Guo Shi heard this, he looked at the prefect's wife, and his eyes flashed with obvious displeasure. Want to come to the house to apologize to her Li'er, just a golden hairpin, just want to fool them over?

Is this because their Qin Mansion is too poor, or is it because Li'er's father is not like Chu Xinyan's father, who is an official in the court?

Encountering this kind of thing made Guo's heart feel uncomfortable, and his gaze fell on Qin Li's face with a sense of blame: Who asked you to come out to meet guests? Thou art pure-minded and unscheming, where is her opponent for this woman?

Qin Li understood, and quickly hinted at Guo with his eyes:

Mother, I act in a measured manner, please rest assured. Besides, if I dare to come out to see her, I have a way to deal with people like her.

Guo Shi nodded slightly, and encouraged Qin Li with his eyes: You can do whatever you want. Youwei Niang is here, even if she is a prefect's wife, she doesn't dare to embarrass you. You can rest assured.

Qin Li got Guo's acquiescence, and he didn't care about anything, and said truthfully to the prefect's wife:

"I mean, ma'am, it really surprised me that you gave me a gift as soon as you saw me. I just didn't think that the gift you gave me would have such a profound meaning. ”

Hearing Qin Li say that the meaning of the gift was profound, the prefect's wife looked embarrassed.

Qin Li snickered in his heart, this time, what else can the prefect's wife say?

Glancing at the wooden box faintly, Qin Li said:

But to tell the truth, when the little woman accepted this gift from her wife, she did only accept it as a greeting gift. As for what you said about making amends for Miss Chu, please forgive the little woman for her ignorance, how can someone like you come here by an elder to make amends for Miss Chu's junior? The little woman can't afford it. ”

She was a person who was pushed into the water by Chu Xinyan, and at this time she dragged her sick and weak body to meet the guests in the private room.

Even if Miss Yu is a concubine, she is also the daughter of Chu Zhifu.

She had also heard the prefect's wife say that Miss Chu was raised by her mother-in-law. How did she raise Miss Chu, so ignorant of etiquette?
