Sydney Courtyard is located in the northwest corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which sounds like "quiet and elegant", but in fact it is inaccessible, the location is remote, and the distance from everywhere is far away, and it is necessary to walk many more ways to go to the old lady than the girls in other rooms.

Qin Yining took Qiu Lu and Ruilan out of the courtyard, and wished her mother, Liu Ya and the little girl to send them to the door.

Ruilan smiled flatteringly: "Girl, do you want the slave maid to instruct a few rough mothers-in-law to prepare a small sedan chair for walking?" There is still a long way to go, and the girl is afraid that she is tired. She thought that Qin Yining would run for an hour when she opened her eyes, and she was afraid that she would lose her physical strength at this time.

"No need, the air is good in the morning, and it happens to be able to loosen my muscles, otherwise I will always feel uncomfortable."

Compared with the self-sufficient life in the mountains in the past, the recent days have been too comfortable for Qin Yining. Accustomed to the kind of days when she didn't work today and would starve to death in a few days, she was really afraid that her will would be consumed by this kind of life of clothes and food to open her mouth.

Everyone couldn't help but smack their tongues when they heard this, and they were afraid that they would be tired, but this one didn't even feel that his muscles and bones were not loose, how good was his physical strength? !

Liu Ya reacted, and immediately came forward to sing and praise Qin Yining's physical strength with Ruilan, almost saying that Qin Yining was a strong woman who "pulled out the mountains and conquered the world". Even Qiu Lu, who was not good at words, looked at Qin Yining with a look of adoration on her face.

Qin Yining just smiled when he heard this.

Compared with yesterday's contempt, people's attitudes today are simply different, which shows that her "fame in a fight" is not in vain.

This is exactly what Qin Yining wants.

Since gentleness and sensibility can't be exchanged for the love she deserves, she can only "show her sword".

Otherwise, everyone thinks she is a soft persimmon, wouldn't she be trampled on at will?

A concubine who doesn't even have the ability to protect herself, why should she be reassured to follow? There is no one available, which means that there are no siblings, eyes and ears, how to survive in the huge back house?

The current scene is a good start for her.

Qin Yining was in a relaxed mood and took Ruilan and Qiu Lu all the way to Cixiao Garden.

The air in the early morning is cold and fresh, and there are many more fireworks than in the mountains, compared with the desolation, Qin Yining really prefers this place that can be called "home".

While walking around and looking around, even the slightly mossy stone bricks are interesting.

Seeing that Qin Yining was in a good mood, Ruilan thought about it, and then came to the front and whispered: "Girl, Yu Xiang boiled water until midnight yesterday, and she put down her words to go to the old lady to sue you, you should be more careful, don't let her be framed." ”

Qin Yining smiled and nodded, not saying much, but also showing that he listened to Ruilan's words.

Ruilan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this, it seemed that the girl didn't intend to hold her accountable, this kind of tolerant and courageous master could make people feel safe.

Walked along the alley to the fork in the road and turned right, the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, all the way forward, and after a short time to the back garden, Qin Yining's pace couldn't help but slow down, and he looked at the scenery in the courtyard with interest. She has seen a lot of wild mountains and wilderness, and she admires such a unique garden with ingenuity.

Just as she was feeling happy, a slightly childish shrill female voice came from behind.

"Yo, who should I be, it's you! I can't imagine that a savage like you would appreciate the garden? ”

Hearing the sound and turning around, he casually picked up the hair on his face with his sideburns blown by the wind, Qin Yining looked at the person who spoke with a smile, and did not respond immediately.

The person who came was a round and jade girl, combed her double bun like her, had two silver silk butterflies on her head, and wore a pink and white peony palace flower, and the silver and red jacket skirt on her body and the white rabbit fur on the neckline echoed, showing that her apple face and jade snow were cute, and it looked like a plum blossom that suddenly opened in the dim winter, which made people look bright.

Ruilan guessed that Qin Yining didn't recognize the girl in the mansion yet, so he immediately saluted smartly: "The sixth girl is fine." ”

When Qin Yining heard that it was Miss Six, she raised her eyebrows.

Copying the book last night, she asked Ruilan to serve the pen and ink, and also asked about the situation of everyone in the house by the way.

This sixth lady's maiden name is Shuangning, and her biological mother is Aunt Lin, the favorite concubine of the second master, Aunt Lin is a blessed one, she gave birth to twin daughters once she was pregnant, and the sixth miss Qin Shuangning is older, and there is a younger sister below, who is only less than a quarter of an hour younger than her, and her name is Anning.

Don't look at Miss Six and Miss Seven as twins, but their appearance and temperament are completely different.

Miss Six is close to Qin Huining and is very dependent on her biological mother, Aunt Lin.

Miss Seven got close to Miss Three and Miss Eight in the third room, and was raised under the name of the Second Lady.

The second lady Su gave birth to the eldest uncle Qin Yu and the fifth master Qin Xian, and there was no biological daughter, and the seventh lady was recorded in her name, so she was naturally regarded as a concubine.

Ruilan talked about this and praised the second lady for her virtue.

But Qin Yining felt that if the second lady was really virtuous, how could she carry Aunt Lin's two daughters to suppress one and suppress the other? The one in his hand can be taught at will, and if he doesn't say what he teaches, the one who is suppressed will be treated unfairly, and he will be full of grievances and resentment. In this way, at least the sisters can be centrifuged.

Seeing his twin daughters detached, and one who is not close to him, the saddest thing is Aunt Lin.

If you talk about muddying the water, the second lady is really a master.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "It turned out to be the sixth sister." Are you going to say hello to the old lady too? ”

"yes. Naturally, I wanted to go to the old lady to say goodbye, and I wanted to see how the fourth sister was, but I didn't expect to meet you on the road, which was really unlucky. Miss Six snorted coldly with her nostrils facing the sky.

Qin Yining's eyes turned cold, but his voice was very gentle: "I didn't expect you 'city people' sisters to greet each other like this?" It's really insightful. ”

The sixth lady saw the disdain in Qin Yining's eyes, and suddenly became angry: "You don't have to be complacent!" Look at your domineering appearance, you dared to beat people on the first day you returned home, and you dared to beat the fourth sister! You wait for your grandmother to fall! ”

Qin Yining smiled slightly: "The sixth girl is talking about Qin Huining?" It seems that your news is not well-informed, if you say that it is sent down, my grandmother has already sent it yesterday, Qin Huining provoked the harmony between my father and mother, which made my grandmother very angry, and she has already punished her to copy the "Book of Filial Piety". ”

"You! You! Miss Six jumped angrily: "You are reversing black and white!" ”

"I don't think the sixth sister is very old, but she's confused!" Without waiting for Qin Yining to speak, three girls walked out of the corner, and it was the eighth miss Qin Baoning who spoke, her voice came out of thin air, and then the person flew close like a light milk swallow, while bending his knees to salute Qin Yining, while glaring at the sixth miss and saying:

"Yesterday, the eldest uncle just said that Qin Huining is just an adopted daughter, and now the fourth sister is on the genealogy, but you still call it wrong, you can't tell which one is your fourth sister, carefully the eldest uncle and the old lady know and punish you."

Miss Six's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said sharply: "Qin Baoning, you are too careless!" You didn't recognize the fourth sister as soon as this wild hoof came back? I got the news, she beat the fourth sister! Our sisters have been together for so many years, and you don't care about the fourth sister? ”

"Concern, what I care about is why Qin Huining is begging for a beating! Since she begged to be beaten, it was naturally her who did not do it right! ”

Miss Eight said while rolling her eyes at Miss Six, and wanted to continue to taunt, but it was the third Miss Qin Jianing who secretly pulled her, and she kept silent.

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Qin Anning, the seventh lady who had been silent, hurriedly stepped forward to hold her sister's arm and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, let's go and greet our grandmother first, don't delay the hour." ”

Miss Six pushed away her twin sister and said disdainfully: "You have to go, you can stay away from me, I don't care about talking to things like you like to eat inside and out, don't you like to hug their thighs on weekdays?" What a good guy this is! As he spoke, he shook off Qin Anning's hand and left directly.

Miss Seven's face flushed.

Although the third old man Wang is a concubine, he has not made much achievements in his career, but he has gone smoothly in business, so the third room is the economic pillar of the Qin family, and even the children of the third room do not rely entirely on the public middle school for money.

Miss Seven has indeed received some small gifts, how can she not be angry when she loses face at this time? Immediately said angrily: "If you want to say that, haven't you always hugged Changfang's thighs?" I also hugged a fake one. ”

When Miss Eight heard this, she clapped her hands and laughed, and the angry Miss Six turned her head and glared at everyone, and finally felt that she couldn't bargain, so she finally brushed her sleeves away.

When the person was far away, the third lady took Qin Yining's hand and said, "Fourth sister, don't be surprised, the second sister has always played with Miss Huining, but this time she is just willful." ”

"What the third sister said is true. The sixth sister is innocent, but she is an interesting one. Qin Yining smiled.

Every time she arrives in a new environment, whether it is a deep mountain or a crowd, Qin Yining always likes to carefully observe the environment, analyze the people and things around her, and understand more about her surroundings to make her feel safe.

Now she has a general understanding of the sisters in the house.

Seeing that Qin Yining was moody, and he was not as shy as he was yesterday, as if he had let go a lot all of a sudden, the third lady couldn't help but be a little more solemn towards Qin Yining.

The sisters chatted softly all the way, and soon arrived at the Cixiao Garden.

Just after passing through the hall and stepping on the square bricks in the courtyard, the little girls serving under the porch bowed their knees in unison.

The two maids pulled up the warm curtain of oleander brocade on the left and right, and the light blue tassels on the corners of the curtain were swaying on the corners of a pair of green jade gourds, which was very good-looking.

Today's curtain is different from yesterday's.

Qin Yining sighed at the luxury of the rich family, took off his cloak and handed it to the maidservant to put it away, and then followed everyone around the interstitial screen of "happy eyebrows" to the inner room.

The old lady is wearing a royal blue Fushou pattern placket with wide sleeves today, with white hair tied in a round bun, and a gold-inlaid ruby with a phoenix mouth bead obliquely inserted.

The second wife, Su, and the third wife, Wang, sat with one left and one right.

The eldest grandmother Yao and the second grandmother Meng stood behind their respective mothers-in-law with their heads bowed.

Among them was Qin Huining, whose face was swollen like a pig's head.

Seeing Qin Yining, Qin Huining's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but shrink a little, biting her lip with a pitiful look that was extremely aggrieved and didn't dare to resist.

Seeing this, the sixth lady, who had come one step earlier, shouted without waiting for Qin Yining and a few people to salute: "Old lady, look at how the fourth sister's face has swollen!" You've got to punish that wild hoof! ”
