Chapter 742 - It's Stressful
Now, all the relatives say that Yanran is capable, not in vain to the Qin family, and is the material for studying.
All of a sudden, the third aunt's family was praised to the sky, and in this praise, there was no lack of flattery for Uncle Zheng, after all, Qin Yanran was also praised by Uncle Zheng.
If the proud girl who was blown to the sky entered Beijing in April and pulled with a strange man, what would everyone say?
Qin Miao's narrowed eyes widened, overflowing with a slight chuckle, and he snorted softly towards the gate of the Hou Mansion, and turned to leave after a moment.
In the house, in the courtyard of Mrs. Xiao
The largest hall is the main hall, which is used to entertain distinguished guests or important banquets in the family.
The Xiao family has lived in Yuhua Village for decades, and has long been accustomed to the small fence courtyard, and now when they arrive at the huge Hou Mansion, everyone almost gathers together in the old lady's courtyard.
Xiao Jinyan knew that her mother was nostalgic, so she deliberately left a few acres of empty land in the back, with no courtyard walls, only fences, and a few peach trees.
Mother likes to eat peaches, especially water peaches, which are big and sweet.
When Qin Yunshu came, a wooden table had been set up in the courtyard, only a few plates of appetizers were served, and a large jar of wine was placed next to the chair, and the red ribbon was flying in the wind.
Qin Yanran came for the first time, and the moment she saw the fence, she felt very cordial, the decoration here is very similar to a small farmhouse courtyard, except that the roof tiles and brick walls are very high-grade.
"Grandmother, Daddy, and Auntie are back!"
After the meal was cooked, Xiao Lianqiao kept waiting, and her mother said that she must wait for her aunt to come back before she could start the meal.
Seeing the sunset all over the sky and the sunset, I never saw anyone.
Just as she was about to sneak in and steal food, she saw her aunt coming.
It's just that......
"Who are they?"
Xiao Lianqiao tilted his head and asked in a low voice, and when the words fell, he didn't wait for his aunt to answer, and chuckled.
"Surely my aunt's good friend, like my aunt and uncle, has she just gotten married?"
The child's unintentional words made Qin Yanran's heart chuckle.
For a while, Zhang Qian's mouth opened and closed a few times, and finally said, "The child's mouth is so sweet." ”
Qin Yanran's heart sank, if it weren't for the Dingbei Hou Mansion, she would have trained him.
"Forsythia, do you like it?"
At this time, Xiao Jinyan took a few steps forward and took out a small clay figure from his sleeve, which was a chubby little girl wearing red clothes.
If you look closely, it is similar to Forsythia Eight Points, and this colorful clay figure is Xiao Forsythia.
"Uncle, what did you give me?"
She knew it was a clay figure and pinched it according to her own appearance, but she never went out, how could she pinch it out?
"Your aunt gave it to you."
Xiao Jinyan whispered, raising her hand to touch her head.
In fact, on the day of the wedding, Mrs. Qin invited the divine doctor and the sageman Huang Lao to a banquet.
In addition to their respective medical skills and hexagrams, the former is interested in chess, and the latter is a clay figure.
The pinching is vivid, Huang Lao saw forsythia when he attended the banquet, and said that this girl smiled sweetly, and when she went back, she pinched the clay figure and sent it by the Taifu.
Like Weng Lao, Huang Lao has not married a wife, he is over half a hundred, if he regrets it, he has no heirs.
Therefore, when I see children, I like them more and more.
When he was in the last dynasty, his father-in-law handed it over to him, and since it was sent by someone from the Qin family, it was sent by Shu'er.
Qin Yunshu looked at the clay figure, when did Xiao Jinyan go to buy it?
"Thank you, Auntie."
The child was simple-minded and straightforward, holding the clay figurine and laughing happily, even forgetting that he was hungry.
"Sister-in-law is back."
Sun Huani was dressed in a colored cloth dress, with a girdle around her waist, and a rag in her hand.
Qin Yunshu smiled, and then stepped forward quickly, "What about Mother?" I'll serve the food. ”
After that, he went in with the familiar way, and when he arrived at the stove house, he rolled up his sleeves.
In Qijing, even if a noble girl gets married, it is rude to roll up her sleeves, but in a farmhouse, it is normal to roll up her sleeves and work.
In front of his family, Qin Yunshu did not have the slightest shelf of a noble lady, and he was very sloppy in serving food.
Looking at Sun Huani, that is a frightened person, how can she ask her sister-in-law to work?
Zhang Qian was also stunned, not to mention the Qin family, a famous family. Let's just say that he is Zhangfu, he has never served food since he was a child, and there are groups of slaves, who follow him and serve.
"What's the matter, what do you see me doing?"
Qin Yunshu said as he walked forward, and after a few steps, he was snatched away by a big hand.
"I'll come."
When the words fell, Xiao Jinyan had already taken a few steps and put it on the wooden table after a while.
"My sister-in-law is back, and there is a field in the back mountains of Fuzhong."
Xiao Lingtian carried the hoe back, and stopped when he passed by Zhang Qian's side, "Big brother, your friend?" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to him, "My name is Xiao Lingtian." ”
With a smile on his face, he was very welcoming.
Zhang Qian really didn't expect that life in the Hou Mansion was very different.
Even Zhang's house, the long house, even the brothers and sisters, are all fighting for family wealth.
But Xiao Mansion, true harmony, full of family affection, he was quite touched.
"I, Zhang Qian."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to shake Xiao Lingtian, and at this moment, he was very envious.
He also wanted to have such brothers and sisters, but as the youngest only son in the family, everything was his.
Because of this, there are several sisters who got married, and their lives are not going well, so they return to Zhangfu to eat and drink every day.
A few months later, dragging his family with him, his mind had already changed, and he only wanted to scramble and meddle in the affairs of the house.
"It's all back."
Old Madam Xiao walked out of the inner room bypassing the main hall, and after resting, she was already in good spirits.
"Guests are coming."
Kindness overflowed, but the eyes under the sword eyebrows were heroic and full of scrutiny.
"Mother."
Qin Yunshu stepped forward, took her hand, and led her to the table to sit down.
"This is my cousin, Qin Yanran, studying at Yuelu Academy. This person who takes care of the kitchen of the academy and other trivial things, surnamed Zhang Mingqian. ”
A few words, a formal introduction.
Old Madam Xiao rolled her eyebrows, but she didn't ask in detail, and greeted with a smile, "Sit down." ”
At this moment, there are a total of eight dishes, all of which are served.
Every dish is full of farmhouse atmosphere, in the past, Qin Yunshu followed his father to eat rural food in the suburbs of Beijing.
This will, no need to go at all, the house is ready-made.
She prefers this life to serving.
"The willow girl in your yard, call for a piece to eat."
Mrs. Xiao thought of Liu Yi, the only dowry girl she brought, and I heard that the relationship was very good.
Qin Yunshu was about to nod, but after thinking about it, Sun Guang was allowed to take leave.
"Don't be, she's going to eat it."
If you look for it, you won't necessarily be in the house!
Eight people sat around, Mrs. Xiao sat at the top, and next to her granddaughter was her granddaughter. Xiao Lingtian and Sun Huani together, Qin Yanran and Qin Yunshu together, and the two of them were left.
Zhang Qian's scalp was numb again, and he was under a lot of pressure, and Dingbeihou was sitting beside him.
A few months ago, when he entered Beijing, he was still listening to people talking about how powerful and majestic this general was.
This will sit next to him. He can't stand, he can't sit, and he has to glance at it quietly when he moves.
"Why don't you eat, the food is not appetizing?"
Old Madam Xiao glanced at Zhang Qian several times, and when she saw that he only ate the food in front of her, she was very puzzled, and finally simply greeted Xiao Jinyan.
"Hurry up and pick up vegetables for him, Yuelu Academy, we can't be lazy."
The Xiao family has practiced martial arts for generations and is determined to join the army, but it does not mean that they have no grace.
The rules and etiquette of dealing with others are taught to children and grandchildren from an early age.
