Chapter Twenty-Five: The Great Talent
Sun was happy, and his words were beautiful, not only praising his maiden nephew, but also his husband.
The eldest son is the eldest son that the old lady loves the most, where can you not be happy when you hear people praise her? Immediately, he said with honor: "Don't talk about the side, but Meng Ge'er's talent and court affairs are not said." ”
"Isn't it the result of the old lady's teaching?" The third lady said playfully.
The old lady was happy to see her teeth and eyes, and she smiled proudly.
Everyone was enlightened, and you complimented Qin Huaiyuan and the grandson of Dingguo Gongshi with every word. Even the Sun family on the side was very proud when he heard that these people poured out good words as if they didn't want money.
The old lady called Jixiang with a smile on her face: "You prepare tea, this is a distinguished guest, don't slack off." ”
"Yes." Auspicious smile to prepare.
Just as the foreign man was about to enter the inner house, Qin Yining stood up first and said, "Old lady, since there are outsiders coming, why don't the sisters leave for the time being?" As he spoke, he looked inquiringly at the sisters behind him.
Miss Three, Miss Seven, and Miss Eight all nodded.
Miss Six and Qin Huining were a little reluctant, and Qin Huining was even more anxious, and her ears were red.
Qin Yining has been studying with Mama Zhan these days, and her observation of people has become more careful, and she can see at a glance that the appearance of these two people is not quite right, and she can't help but have some doubts in her heart.
The old lady thought about it, whispered a few words to the three daughters-in-law, and then said: "No need, your cousin is not an outsider, it is rare for a talented person like him to come, you should also stay to meet." ”
Qin Yining smiled and said yes. But I wondered in my heart. How powerful is this cousin of the Dingguo Mansion? can be so loved by the old lady.
"Lu Juan, you ordered someone to go to the outer courtyard to see if Brother Yu, Brother Han, Brother Xian'er and other masters were not there, so you said that the grandson of Dingguo was here, let them come over to meet together."
Even their own grandchildren should be called together.
Mama Qin smiled and should have stepped back. Before going out, he didn't forget to take a peek at the reaction of the eldest lady. The old lady is so enthusiastic, but she has given the eldest lady enough dignity.
Qin Yining kept smiling and standing beside the old lady, and there was no doubt on his face, but he was even more puzzled in his heart.
Sweeping his gaze over the people in the room without a trace again, he saw Qin Huining hanging his head and playing with his skirt, not to mention his ears, even his neck was red.
Qin Yining couldn't help but raise her eyebrows strangely, Qin Huining, what's wrong?
The old lady did not allow them to leave, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, and they are not good to just pestle like this, so the third wife is in charge, let the girls go to the inner room, and ordered the maid to place a carved mahogany interstitial screen of carp playing lotus between the inner room and the outer room.
Looking in from the outside, I can only vaguely see people in the inner room through the interstitial screen and the hollow carvings on the floor cover, but I can't really see it.
And the girls in the inner room, if they choose the right angle, can see the outside clearly.
Although Qin Yining was curious, he was not in a hurry to see who it was, so he chose a position not far away and sat down, and whispered to Miss Three, Miss Seven and Miss Eight.
However, as soon as Qin Huining entered the inner room, he immediately chose a position closest to the outer room, and as long as he looked on one side, he could see everyone outside through the gap in the carving.
The sixth lady sat down next to Qin Huining, chatted with her in a low voice, glanced at Qin Yining from time to time, and laughed one after another.
Seeing Miss Six and Qin Huining like this, Qin Yining naturally knew that they must be arranging something about themselves, but she never cared about people's words, anyway, she wouldn't lose a piece of meat because of this, so she naturally didn't care about hanging down her long eyelashes and playing with the tea bowl on the low table.
But Qin Yining didn't care, but some people couldn't help it.
"Fourth sister, look at them like that." Miss Eight was a little angry and glared at Qin Huining fiercely.
Qin Huining looked back at Miss Eight lightly, as if she was not angry at all, and smiled even more heartily.
The more she was like this, the more angry Miss Eight became, she stood up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Qin Yining.
"Eighth sister, do you remember what Mama Zhan said yesterday?" Qin Yining's voice was smiling, but the strength in his hand was not small.
Seeing that Qin Yining's eyes were quick, the third lady breathed a sigh of relief, took Miss Eight's arm on the other side and asked her to sit beside her, and persuaded in a low voice: "Eighth sister, let's give birth to a little, this is the old lady's inner room, and there will be guests coming later, you really make trouble, and you are the one who suffers." It's just a matter of being punished by the old lady, I'm afraid that I will lose my dignity in front of the guests, what if something bad spreads? ”
Miss Eight is a straight-tempered person, easy to be impulsive, but she is not stupid, thinking carefully about Qin Huining's every move, she felt angry, gritted her teeth and said: "She just deliberately provoked me!" ”
"Now that I know, why should the eighth sister care." Qin Yining forked a piece of fruit with a silver fork and handed it to Miss Eight.
Miss Eight took it, but she didn't eat it out of anger.
The third lady continued to persuade: "I can't write two Qin characters in one stroke, in the end, we are a family, and there will always be a day when we will go our separate ways in the future, but what is really going on, it is the people of our family who help each other." ”
Miss Eight has always respected Miss Three, and she will listen to what she says, but she is not angry in her heart, and she still whispers: "Who wants to help each other with them." is such a dirty villain, and the fourth sister will not hinder them when she comes back, but she always carries a gun and a stick, so boring. ”
The eighth sister was angry. I know that Eighth Sister is for my good. Qin Yining grabbed Miss Eight's hand and shook it, signaling her not to be angry.
Miss Eight looked at Qin Yining's eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and felt that Fang Cai's irritability was also a little calmer.
Qin Huining rolled her eyes, she didn't expect that Qin Yining was kind, and she knew how to appease others.
The sixth lady snorted coldly and continued to whisper with Qin Huining.
At this moment, there was a mixed sound of footsteps outside, followed by the sound of a handmaid greeting respectfully, and a group of men walked in one after another.
As soon as Qin Huining heard the voice, the whole person was attached to the floor cover, holding her breath and looking out, even the sixth girl also stretched her neck to find a suitable position.
Miss Seven and Miss Eight were also curious, stood up, and quietly walked to the interstitial screen to look out, leaving only Miss Three and Qin Yining sitting in place and whispering something about needlework.
Outside, the first to come was Qin Huaiyuan, who was smiling and wearing a silver-gray straight jacket. Hand in hand with him was a young man wearing a royal blue ruyi pattern.
The young man has a slender figure, a long face, a white face, eyes like paint, thick eyebrows and a high nose, and is very energetic.
Behind him are the eldest master Qin Yu, the second master Qin Han, the fifth master Qin Xian, and even the younger ninth master Qin Xuan and the six-year-old tenth master Qin Rong are also listed. The boys of the Qin family's "Bao Gaitou" generation have never been so complete since Qin Yining returned home.
"Old Taijun Qin has always been good? The little son Sun Yu, please say hello to the old lady. Sun Yu saluted with an elegant and calm posture.
"Hurry up, hurry up." The old lady leaned over and supported her hands, "I haven't seen you for many days, and your grandson has improved a lot in his knowledge, right?" ”
Sun Yu laughed, his bearing was as gentle as jade, "Old lady Qin doesn't want to make fun of me, this time, I want Uncle Lao to help me more in my studies." ”
"Sit down, get some tea." The old lady ordered someone to bring a chair.
Sun Yu then saluted the eldest lady, the second lady and the third wife.
The eldest lady smiled and said, "You came directly from home?" How is the old lady's body? ”
"Back to my aunt, my grandmother's health has improved." Sun Yu smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, when I came today, my grandmother specially instructed my nephew to ask the old lady for something." ”
The old lady smiled and said: "My mother-in-law is too polite, we are all relatives, why be so polite?" If there is anything to say, it is you, it is rare to come to the house to play, and you will have to move around diligently in the future, and you can bring a lot of these cousins of yours to be motivated, and strive to be as diligent as you. ”
"Old Taijun Qin is too famous, Yuan Ming is ashamed." Sun Yu saluted the old lady again, took out the post from his sleeve and handed it over, and then said: "My grandfather and grandmother knew that my uncle had found the palm beads that had been lost for many years, so they specially instructed me to ask the old lady for a favor, and I want to ask my aunt to take my cousin back to the Dingguo Mansion to sit, to be my grandfather and grandmother, and I also want to see my granddaughter." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised.
It's just that I want the Sun family to take Qin Yining back to her mother's house and send an old mother to talk to the Sun family, I didn't expect the Dingguo Mansion to be so grand, and even Sun Yu, a great talent, has become a special post!
The second lady smiled: "It can be seen how much the Duchess of Dingguo cherishes her granddaughter." ”
"Yes, Sister Yi is smart and lovely, and gentle and polite, don't say that my grandmother hurts, our old lady is not like a painful heart." The third lady also laughed.
The old lady thought about the events of this morning, and also felt that Qin Yining, the child, was cute and tight, so she made a loving joke.
"Hey, me, I hurt her or something, I was reluctant to let her leave my side, but since my mother misses her granddaughter so much, and even a talented person like Yuan Ming has been sent as a lobbyist, how can I not let it go?"
Saying this, he looked at the Sun family: "Eldest daughter-in-law, Ming'er, you can take the girl back, and by the way, bring the things I prepared earlier to my mother-in-law." ”
What did you prepare beforehand? On the contrary, I sent something to you from the Dingguo Mansion!
Sun snorted disdainfully in his heart, secretly thinking that the old lady was too good at pretending, but he smiled deferentially on his face: "Yes, my daughter-in-law obeys her orders." ”
Sun Yu smiled and gave the old lady a smile.
Because he was a foreign man, it was not good to stay in the inner house for a long time, Sun Yu only sat for a while, and then followed Qin Huaiyuan and the Qin family's brothers to the outer courtyard.
As soon as he walked with his front feet, Qin Huining, who was in the inner room, climbed onto the Luohan bed and pushed the window open a gap to look out.
The cold wind poured into the house, and the girls looked at the window.
No matter how sluggish Qin Yining is, he can see some clues from Qin Huining's unstable behavior.
Outside, the old lady said: "Why is it so cold all of a sudden, where is the wind pouring in." ”
The frightened Qin Huining hurriedly closed the window.
