"My sister-in-law's cold hands are stiff, why don't you bring a hand warmer when you come out?" Sun's tone was brisk, his eyebrows were smiling, and he stuffed his brass carved hand stove to the eldest lady Yan, and then went to hold the second wife, Kong's hand, and rubbed it, helping her to warm her with his warm hands.

The two sisters-in-law are older than the Sun family, the family style of the Dingguo Mansion is strict, and the two brothers treat the Sun family very much, before the Sun family went out of the cabinet, and the two sisters-in-law did not have a red face once, and the sister-in-law got along with each other closer than with those sisters, and they were naturally intimate at this time.

Seeing her like this, the girls laughed.

On the side, there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl wearing a blue gray rabbit fur collar cloak and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't believe what the eldest aunt said, as if she was not in a hurry, she just sat at my grandmother's place for a while, and the eldest aunt looked at the clock three or four times, or my mother said, 'Sister-in-law is so anxious, I can't stay in the room, why don't we all come out together to greet her, maybe we will pick people up', we just came out." ”

The girl's voice was crisp and hearty, and everyone who listened to it burst into laughter.

Qin Yining watched quietly from the sidelines, as if he could feel the family's welcome to them.

There was another girl wearing a scarlet cloak like Qin Yining, who had been looking at her for a long time with big round eyes.

As if he couldn't help but be curious, he came to Qin Yining's side like a small animal, his voice was a little timid, and he saluted: "Hello sister, I'm Sun Ling, are you Yining's sister?" ”

Qin Yining hurriedly returned the salute, "Hello Sister Ling, I'm Yining." ”

Sun turned his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile, "Look at me, when I saw my sister-in-law, I only cared about talking, and I forgot to introduce it." Sister Yi'er, why don't you come to salute your eldest aunt, second aunt and cousins? ”

Qin Yining smiled at Sun Ling, and saluted the eldest wife and the second wife according to the rules that Mama Zhan had taught these days.

"The eldest aunt and second aunt are fine."

"Oops!" Second Uncle Kong Shi grabbed Qin Yining's hands and measured them carefully, and said: "If it is really a jade person who is washed out of water, they all say that the Peugeot born by your seventh cousin in our mansion is not comparable to such a comparison!" ”

The second aunt praised it. It's just that my mother cherishes me and is willing to dress me up. Qin Yining smiled and lowered his eyes, his voice was soft and soft, and he looked very well-behaved and pleasing.

Sun was very helpful when he heard this, so he took Qin Yining's hand and patted it, looking like a mother and a son, and he didn't see the cold treatment before.

Qin Huining, who had been neglected for a long time, watched the Sun family take Qin Yining to greet the two aunts, as if someone had poured a scoop of hot oil on her, and it took a long time to adjust her resentful mood.

"The eldest aunt, the second aunt is fine." Qin Huining also saluted.

The eldest aunt seemed to notice her at this moment, looked her plain clothes and particularly bright makeup up and down, and nodded with a smile, but did not say much.

The second aunt looked Qin Huining's dress up and down, and said with a smile: "Sister Hui'er is getting more and more standard." ”

Qin Huining was secretly happy and said dignifiedly: "Second aunt, don't make fun of me, with the seventh cousin and Xiaoxi's sister Zhuyu by the side, aren't we all compared to mud pigs and dogs." He smiled as he spoke.

Although this is modest, if the other sisters are jealous, will they be hooked up at this time?

The eldest aunt and the second aunt glanced at each other and did not say much.

The sisters on the side were not as easy to provoke as the girls in the Prime Minister's House, and they lowered their eyes as if they hadn't heard.

Qin Yining was amused in his heart, knowing what the family style of the Dingguo Mansion was, Qin Huining still behaved like this, he really didn't know what to say.

Qin Huining had the intention to show sisterly harmony, so she grabbed Qin Yining's arm and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoxi, I'll introduce you." ”

Pointing to the girl who was standing next to her second aunt wearing a pink white rabbit fur collar cloak, she said, "This is the seventh cousin, three years older than us, who has been engaged to the son-in-law of the Lu University family, and will get married soon." ”

"Hello seventh cousin." Qin Yining ignored Qin Huining's address to her, and saluted Miss Sun Qi with a smile.

The seventh cousin returned the salute: "Sister Yining is good." ”

Qin Huining also introduced the one who wore a blue cloak, a light blue cloak, and the one who took the initiative to talk to Qin Yining and wore a red robe, and said in turn: "This is the ninth cousin, the tenth cousin, and the eleventh cousin. The tenth cousin and the eleventh cousin are also fourteen this year. ”

Qin Yining saw the salute in turn, and the ninth cousin, the tenth cousin, and the eleventh cousin all returned the salute.

Miss Eleven pulled Qin Yining's cloak with a smile, looked at her own again, and said with a smile: "My cousin's clothes are made of the same material as mine, so it can be seen that we are destined." Turning her head again, Mao'er looked at Qin Huining, tilted her head curiously and asked, "Isn't Cousin Huining aware of Cousin Yining's name?" Why is it always called 'stream' and 'stream'? ”

When Qin Huining heard this, a smile froze on her face. secretly scolded Miss Eleven for being just a concubine in the long room, and dared to embarrass her in person.

Sun was chatting with his eldest aunt and second aunt, and he was also a little dissatisfied when he heard the movement here.

The atmosphere of her mother's family is different from her mother-in-law's family, although marrying Prime Minister Qin Cheng is a good thing, but the atmosphere of her mother-in-law's family has always been her heart disease, although sometimes she feels that there is nothing wrong with her mother-in-law's family acting like that, but she knows that the people of her mother's family really don't look down on that, but Qin Huining wants to take out the set of the Prime Minister's house.

In the past, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Sun family didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Qin Huining calling Qin Yining Xiaoxi, but now standing on the ground of the Dingguo Mansion, she felt angry.

However, it was not good for her to reprimand Qin Huining directly in person.

At this moment, Qin Yining smiled and held Qin Huining's hand, and explained softly: "Eleventh cousin doesn't know, I used to be homeless, and I was rescued by my adoptive mother, who picked me up by the stream, so she gave me a nickname, called Xiaoxi. Miss Huining is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and I approve it very much, and we have privately agreed to let her call me Xiaoxi from time to time, and you can always remind me not to forget the nurturing grace of my adoptive mother for eight years. ”

The eleventh cousin was very moved when she heard this, and nodded with mist in her eyes: "Sister Yining is suffering outside. ”

The other cousins also gathered around, although they were curious about Qin Yining's experience outside, but this time they were also shaken by her words.

But no one remembered Qin Huining's hatred.

Seeing this, Sun Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and felt extremely embarrassed by Qin Yining's general behavior.

The eldest aunt raised her eyebrows, looked at Qin Yining again with her insightful eyes, and smiled gently.

The second aunt took Sun's hand and said with a smile: "It's not too late for us to go to Chunxi Hall first and then talk, this time my mother should be in a hurry." ”

Sun nodded hurriedly: "Exactly, if my sister-in-law is frozen after standing for a while, and she has a cold, don't worry about me if my eldest brother knows." ”

"You monkey! You're going to pull me for no reason! The kids are talking nonsense like this to you! The eldest aunt laughed and scolded.

The girls and the servants laughed when they saw it.

Infected by the joyful atmosphere, Qin Yining couldn't help laughing, and the group entered the Hanging Flower Gate happily.

The Dingguo Mansion is a large mansion with five rooms and seven depths, it is said that this mansion is the palace of the previous dynasty, and later the emperor was rewarded for the great achievements of the ancestors of the Sun family.

Although everything has withered in winter, the exquisite garden design in the house still makes Qin Yining dizzy, and he can't help but fantasize about how beautiful the scenery here will be when summer comes.

Seeing that Qin Yining liked it, the cousins all surrounded her, and you introduced me word by word, warmly as if welcoming distinguished guests, without the slightest arrogance.

Qin Huining followed them at this time, as if she had become a foil, the smile on her face was about to stiffen, but she still had to maintain her demeanor. It was Mother Cai and Bitong beside her who supported her and whispered to her to relieve her boredom, which eased her depressed mood a little.

All the way to the Chunxi Hall where the Duchess of Dingguo lived, a maid and a maid came out from a distance, and a maid went in to reply.

Qin Yining had just stepped into the threshold of Chunxi Hall, and saw the royal blue oleander brocade warm curtain in the main house, and a plump woman who was over sixty years old wearing a dark purple wide-sleeved plain makeup gown and a purple fox fur warm hat walked out first, and the maid who followed behind came out and followed down the steps.

This woman is tall, with wrinkles on her face, and a faint Sichuan character line between her eyebrows, which makes her look a little harsh, but Qin Yining knows that this kind of person usually frowns a lot, which shows that this woman worries a lot on weekdays. Her slender eyebrows and loving eyes swelled with warmth, and she walked with a dignified demeanor and a straight back, and she looked like a very shrewd lady.

Almost at a glance, Qin Yining could be sure that this was the Duchess of Dingguo, her grandmother, and then looking at Mother Bao who was following her, she could be even more sure that what she guessed was true.

Qin Yining was looking at the Duchess of Dingguo, and the Duchess of Dingguo was also looking at her.

Among the girls, although Qin Yining wore a scarlet cloak like her eleventh cousin; Although she didn't apply fat powder, her red lips were not as eye-catching as Qin Huining's; Although Qin Yining is not as tall as the ninth cousin.

But the Duchess of Dingguo still saw her at a glance.

Not because she is a strange face, nor because she is good enough to overwhelm the crowd, but because she has a sharp and gentle and restrained momentum around her body.

Look at the eyebrows and bright eyes to know that she is intelligent, look at her posture can know her etiquette and integrity, she is like a sheathed sword, you can be sharp if you want to be sharp, you want to be gentle, you can also be gentle.

A woman as smart as the Duchess of Dingguo who has read thousands of sails, what kind of beauty has she never seen?

At first glance, people no longer pay attention to their appearance.

Seeing Qin Yining like this, she was very happy in her heart, and she didn't doubt Qin Yining's identity like the Sun family, but she could be sure that this girl must be born by the Sun family.

Her own granddaughter is so good, how could the Duchess of Dingguo not like it?

"This is Sister Yi'er, right? Come to my grandmother! Duchess Dingguo stretched out her hands and walked quickly to meet her.
