"Grandmother, please bow to your granddaughter." Qin Yining didn't dare to hold it up, so he stopped and made a big salute. Naturally, those who travel with you avoid it left and right.

Duchess Dingguo's eyes became softer and softer, she supported her with both hands, took her hand and said pityingly: "Good boy, there is no need to be so polite, let my grandmother take a good look at you." ”

Duchess Dingguo's hands had the dry warmth unique to elderly people, and the slightest heat was transmitted, making Qin Yining involuntarily burst into tears.

Duchess Dingguo only looked at Qin Yining's watery eyes, and her heart was a soft mess.

Some people have a fate, and they like it when they meet, and the Duchess of Dingguo looks at Qin Yining.

Duchess Dingguo's fingers could feel the calluses and scars on Qin Yining's hands, her heart was sour, she took the person in her arms and patted her with pity, and her voice was choked: "Poor child, you have suffered all these years." ”

In a word, the warm Qin Yining's tears couldn't help falling, the warm and soft embrace and the elegant incense on the Duchess of Dingguo were touching the softest and most fragile place in her heart, and she was so strong that she didn't cry out loud at this good time.

"Grandmother, don't be sad, no matter what happened in the past, everything is over, let's all look forward and don't have to look back."

These words went straight into the heart of the Duchess of Dingguo, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, it's all over, it's all over." ”

The eldest aunt and second aunt, who had already been moved, were also busy nodding, and even Sun, who had several emotional twists and turns after finding his daughter, couldn't help crying for a while.

The scene of hugging her head and crying in the cold wind was too sad, and the eldest aunt hurriedly sniffed and said, "Look at my mother's joy, I can't take care of the weather, why do you come out wearing soft shoes in the house?" Chill carefully on the ground. ”

Bao's mother dipped her sleeve in the corner of her eyes, and said cooperatively: "The old lady can't wait to see her granddaughter." Slaves and maids will not be allowed to wait for them to change their shoes. ”

"Say me? I don't know who can't sit still with me. Duchess Dingguo joked about her two daughters-in-law.

The sad atmosphere was diluted, only joy, everyone laughed, and entered the house one by one, even the little girl who lifted the curtain was full of smiles, as if it was the New Year.

Qin Yining kept smiling with tears in her eyes, listening to her aunt and grandmother's care, and she couldn't interject words.

This scene was something she had imagined countless times on the way back to Beijing from Liangcheng. I can't imagine that what I can't get at my own house can be obtained at my grandmother's house.

She tossed and turned last night, and the emergencies and coping methods she thought of seemed to be useless, but she was worried about the sky and the heart of a villain.

The Duchess of Dingguo was served by two daughters-in-law and sat in the first place, and the eldest aunt, the second aunt and Sun sat down separately.

Bao's mother brought a futon for Qin Yining, and Qin Yining knelt down and gave a big salute: "Granddaughter, please grandmother and two aunts." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up." The Duchess of Dingguo leaned over to support her, pulled the person up and sat down next to her, "Are you still used to coming back to live?" What is missing? Your mother is hot-tempered and coarse-hearted, and if she dares to snub you, tell your grandmother that I will beat her! ”

Duchess Dingguo's speech was very fast, Qin Yining couldn't interject at all, so she could only shake her head again and again, indicating that she had not been neglected.

"Mother is partial, Sister Yi came, so she compared me to me." Sun's face turned red when he was told by his biological mother's words, and he couldn't help but remember that he was beating the child again and giving a stern warning, but several times, it was this child who generally fulfilled his own dignity, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.

"How old are you, and you're still scheming with your daughter! I won't talk about your quick temper, you should use your brain more in the future, and don't let others say that you are the rain. Duchess Dingguo nodded Sun's forehead.

When Qin Huining heard this, his face instantly turned pale as paper, and he lowered his head to peek at the expression of the Duchess of Dingguo.

Sun shrank his neck and stuck out his tongue with a smile on his face, causing the girls to laugh, and the noisy laughter came out of thin air.

Qin Huining was extremely worried.

She knew that her grandmother was not a simple person, but she was not as easy to fiddle with as Sun, and her words were clearly in her words!

Since coming to the Dingguo Mansion, that wild hoof has always been the focus of everyone's attention, even the grandmother can only see her, and she seems to have become transparent.

Such a slow treatment originally made Qin Huining jealous and angry, but now, those resentful emotions were extinguished by a beating from the Duchess of Dingguo, and all that was left was the panic of falling out of favor.

She was busy saluting the Duchess of the Kingdom and said with a smile: "Grandmother's complexion is better these days. ”

Duchess Dingguo held Qin Yining's hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a comfortable life this day, your two aunts and your cousins are filial to me, and now, I don't have anything to do with this family, what is there Your aunt and aunt carry it by herself, and refuse to mention the words of chasing the wind and shadows in front of me. ”

Qin Huining buzzed in his head, his face was red and white for a while, and he smiled forcefully: "Grandmother is a person of great blessing, aunt and cousin are filial, and uncle and cousin are also angry. ”

"yes." Duchess Dingguo looked at Qin Yining beside her with a smile in her eyes: "Our sister Yi has suffered in the past, since she has returned home, the calamity has passed, and it will be a good life in the future, so Sister Yi is also blessed." ”

Everyone laughed in unison, and everyone chatted.

Qin Huining stood aside, her hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist, and her palm was almost bleeding from her long nails.

She didn't expect that the Duchess of Dingguo would lose her face like this, and secretly beat her three times and twice in her words.

She didn't know if others could understand it, but Sun could understand it.

Qin Huining looked at the Sun family uneasily, but saw that the Sun family was smiling and looking in the direction of the Duchess of Dingguo and Qin Yining, I don't know what I heard, and I was smiling happily.

Xu felt her gaze, and Sun turned his head inquiringly.

The two looked at each other, and all the resentment in Qin Huining's eyes that he couldn't put away fell into Sun's eyes.

Sun was stunned, thinking about the words of the Duchess of Fang Cai Dingguo, and then thinking about Qin Huining's efforts in front of all her cousins today, she didn't like it in her heart, so she didn't call people to her side to comfort her as usual, and continued to talk to the two sisters-in-law.

She ignored her!

Qin Huining almost crushed her mouth full of silver teeth!

Who kisses and who is sparse, now I can really see that these people's hearts are too crooked, she was indeed replaced, and she did occupy the position of Qin Yining's fourteen-year concubine, but how can she be blamed for these? She's a victim too! This time, he gave her a face.

They treat her like this, can they blame her for fighting!

"Old lady." The eldest maid came in to salute and said with a smile: "The grandfather and the uncle have come back from the dynasty, and the chief manager of the palace came with them, saying that there is a holy decree!" Tell our whole family to go to the front to receive orders! ”

"Is it the emperor's side that the chief manager Wang came in person?" There was silence, and the voice of the Duchess of Dingguo seemed a little high.

The eldest maid nodded: "Yes, the slave asked the little man who followed, and said that the grandfather and the uncle were very happy to see it, and the chief manager Wang was also very polite, and he had just ordered the young masters not to come to Chunxi Hall first, and went to the front to see the chief manager of the king first, and prepared to take the order." ”

The second aunt clapped her hands: "I said that those children are not here yet, it turns out that there is a good thing!" Mother, eighty percent is a good thing for the old man! ”

The Duchess of Dingguo and the eldest aunt also guessed like this, and both of them had joy on their faces.

Dingguo Gongman is the mainstay of the fight against the invasion of the Great Zhou, whether it is the family Sun Haiqian who is now fighting the enemy on the front line, the second old man Sun Haijing, or the pen of Sun Yu who entered the dynasty and the military generals of the civil ministers, they are all the sharp blades of the emperor's main battle faction.

Now that the chief steward of the king has come in person, he must have rewarded which of the gentlemen of the Guogong Mansion.

At this time, they couldn't take care of speaking, the Duchess of Dingguo, the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the Sun family all hurriedly went to put on makeup, and the girls also cut their clothes, and then quickly went to the front yard to burn incense to receive the order.

It was the first time Qin Yining had seen this kind of scene, and he was inevitably a little nervous. She knelt down with her cousins at the end of the ladies and listened to the slightly shrill voice of the chief steward read the decree:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Hanlin Academy, Dingguo Gongshi Sun Yu, is a person, has both talent and morality, self-denial and dedication, high festival and clean wind, does not flow with the quagmire, loyalty can be learned, deep comfort to my heart, and will be promoted to the Hanlin Academy to lecture on the bachelor, give a hundred taels of gold, and admire this!"

"Thank Emperor Longen!"

And they all prostrated in unison.

Chief Wang handed over the holy decree with both hands, and said with a smile: "Lord Sun, congratulations!" ”

Sun Yu took the holy decree with both hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, and please use tea in the flower hall." ”

Ding Guogong stood up and said with a smile: "If you have a trip with the head of King Lao, you must taste the old man's good tea before going back." ”

Chief Manager Wang's smiling eyes bent into crescent moons, and he bowed and saluted: "Thank you Grandpa Guo, but the slave and maid are disrespectful." ”

"Please."

Dingguo Gong and Sun Yu went to entertain the general manager of Wang.

The ladies and the rest of the young masters returned to Chunxi Hall together.

It wasn't until the change of clothes and washing and sitting down again that the atmosphere was lively again.

"Oh, what a great thing, a great blessing!" Sun took his aunt's hands and said: "It's hard for my sister-in-law to raise such a good son, she has entered the cabinet at a young age, and she has relied on her own talent to be promoted to a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy!" can even get the emperor's own reward! With such an honor, our family is unique! ”

Uncle smiled and waved his hand: "Look at what you said, Brother Ming is just good luck." And this time it really hit the emperor's itch. ”

Saying this, everyone was curious.

The Duchess of Dingguo asked: "I am also wondering, why did the emperor specially order the chief manager of the king to announce the decree and give a reward, not counting the promotion to the official position, but also rewarding a hundred taels of gold?" ”

Qin Yining also blinked curiously, people said that the power of heaven is unpredictable, and it is rare for the eldest cousin to be so valued by the emperor.
