Chapter Twenty-Four: Slap in the face
Mama Qin acted cautiously and steadily, she was not a person who stirred up trouble at will, everyone in the house knew that Mama Qin said this, just to attract everyone's attention smoothly, so as not to embarrass the old lady because of Fang Cai's words.
Seeing that Mama Qin was carrying auspicious and wishful points, Sun smiled proudly, as if she had won a battle, and Shi Shiran, who was extremely happy in her heart, sat down.
But Qin Huining is different.
Don't look at her in the past, she was the most favored in front of the old lady, but Mama Qin, an old slave, has always been more respectful to her and less intimate. acts all the time so that people can't find faults, but they refuse to be close to her.
She has been studying poetry since she was a child, where can she be a cheater? It's impossible to be lazy by secretly writing less than once. That kind of behavior is dismissive of children. It's okay for Mama Qin to suspect Qin Yining like this, and she brought her, which really insulted people to the extreme.
"Back to the old lady, the slaves and maids have counted." Ji Xiang put the paper back in place, and quietly glanced at Qin Yining with an obscure look.
"Old lady, the slave maid has counted with Ruyi and Mama Qin, and Miss Huining has copied it ten times, and the fourth lady ...... Thirty times of copying. ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes were fixed on the two stacks of paper with obvious thicknesses on the low table.
In fact, everyone can see that the two stacks of paper are of different heights, but the old lady didn't care, others couldn't see what size the words on Qin Yining's paper were, and they only thought that her words were not written well, the size was different, and some paper was wasted.
Who would have thought that the punishment was just copying, and the old lady asked for it to be copied ten times, and she would copy it thirty times?!
The old lady was surprised to flip through the "Book of Filial Piety" handed in by Qin Yining, although the handwriting was as ugly as a dog crawling from beginning to end, it could be seen that there was no trace of ink stains on every piece of paper. The words are ugly, but the attitude is indeed extremely serious.
The old lady smiled and asked, "Sister Yi'er, I only punished me ten times, how could you copy it thirty times?" ”
"yes, that's exactly what I questioned." Qin Huining also said: "I know that you have to study with your sisters and Mama Zhan these mornings, and you have to go to study in the afternoon, our time is just as tight, how can you copy twenty more times than me?" ”
Qin Huining said and hid her smile.
The old lady was a simple question, but Qin Huining implied that Qin Yining's copying might be cheating, but everyone could hear it.
Miss Six laughed cooperatively.
Miss Seven and Miss Eight were secretly angry and glared at Qin Huining several times.
Even Sun's eyes were a little different when he looked at Qin Huining.
Sun was displeased.
After a few days of calming down, it is not difficult to see that Qin Huining is targeting Qin Yining, but this is in the old lady's house, in front of the second and third rooms, there are only two people in the long room now, Qin Yining and Qin Huining, but Qin Huining acts like this, he really doesn't take the decency of the long room in his eyes!
Qin Yining blushed shyly, slightly lowered her head and twisted her fingers, she combed her hair in a Suiyun bun today, and when she lowered her head, she naturally revealed her slender and white neck, with her delicate posture when she was standing, she looked delicate and good-looking like a swan, which made people feel pity in their hearts.
Even the voice was a little timid, obviously embarrassed to say: "Back to the old lady, the granddaughter didn't know how many times she wrote it at first, because of the events of that day, the old lady was angry, it was really unfilial, every time she copied a word, the granddaughter was reflecting on herself, and then she unconsciously put herself into it, and in the end she didn't care how many times she copied it." It was only last night that my granddaughter's maidservant found that she had copied it more than forty times. Before I came, I took the ones that were written so ugly, and that's what was left. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Yining glanced at the old lady quickly, and her face turned even redder, "Old lady, my granddaughter has never studied since she was a child, and I am good at asking me to go up the mountain to chop wood, hunt, and pick up herbs, and ask me to write, it's really embarrassing, even if I tie a piece of corn tortilla to the dog, it's better than me to write, I have wasted a lot of pen and ink in the past two days, and I pity those blank papers." ”
"Puff ——!"
Qin Yining's voice fell, and he heard a burst of laughter.
followed the prestige, but saw that the old lady had already patted his thigh and laughed.
Although the old lady is sometimes eccentric and likes to do some things when doing things, but the person is from a good background, and the people around him have never seen the old lady laugh like this for many years, thinking back to Qin Yining's words, they can't help but laugh out loud.
For a while, the atmosphere in the house was so harmonious that it seemed like the New Year.
"You kid! Come, come to Grandmother. The old lady wiped away the tears of laughter, and at the same time took Qin Yining's hand and patted it: "Where is it as unbearable as you said?" You are not qualified to study, otherwise it will not be worse than what your sisters write! Is it difficult for you to seriously reflect on yourself, and write more than 40 times? It's weird, I look at you, you have dark circles under your eyes for the past two days. ”
"Lujuan." The old lady turned her head to look at Mama Qin.
Mama Qin saluted the old lady with a smile on her face: "The slave is here." ”
"You go back and tell the kitchen to send bird's nest porridge to Miss Fourth every day, I see that Sister Yi'er's body is too thin, as if she is about to fall when the wind blows, she has suffered a lot over the years, and she should make up for it."
"Yes. The slave and maid must be instructed. ”
Qin Yining's face was no longer so red at this time, but when she heard the old lady say that she would send her bird's nest porridge, she raised her eyes and looked at the old lady in flattery.
Her apricot eyes contain a layer of mist with a layer of water, and her eyes are pure and clear like gems, which are reminiscent of newborn kittens for no reason, and they are soft and make people want to hold them in their arms.
That's exactly what the old lady did.
Holding Qin Yining in his arms, he patted her on the back: "Good boy, don't worry, follow your master to learn from you in the future, the words will be good slowly, you don't have to feel that you are missing anything than anyone, and you are no longer allowed to compare yourself to a dog." You know? Having said that, I can't help but feel funny when I think of Fang Cai's words of "leashing a tortilla for the dog".
Qin Yining leaned on the old lady's arms, her nose was full of the unique smell of the elderly, plus the smell of fat powder and tobacco, which made people's hearts warm for no reason, she couldn't help but smile and bend her eyes, nodded obediently, but secretly relieved in her heart.
I can't imagine that the strategy of "quality is not enough quantity" is really feasible, and it is not in vain that her hand is cut off.
God knows how much effort it took her to blush when she was "shy......
Everyone looked at the picture of the old lady holding Qin Yining, and the shallow eye sockets such as Miss Third and Miss Eight couldn't help but redden.
Qin Yining's words inevitably evoked everyone's memories of her life experience.
Even Sun, the second lady and the third lady couldn't help but dip their handkerchiefs in the corners of their eyes.
For a child who has been lonely since childhood, it is not easy to survive, who can criticize her for writing good words as soon as she holds a pen? What's more, this kid is still such a sincere person.
The Sun family's dissatisfaction with Qin Yining's disgrace to her had been completely replaced by pity at this time.
Qin Huining, who saw all this in his eyes, almost crushed his mouth full of silver teeth!
I didn't expect Mama Qin's casual words to cause such consequences.
Will the old lady laugh out loud at this person?
The old lady still hugged Qin Yining, and said that Qin Yining was weak and wanted to eat bird's nest every day!
She didn't eat bird's nest every day before, when this wild man beat people, her fists were as hard as stones, and her strength was like a cow, where did they see that she was weak!
Her feelings are completely in vain, because everyone has forgotten about it!
Qin Huining maintained a stiff smile on her face, but her eyes pierced Qin Yining like knives. is really a scheming and cunning person, pretending to be pitiful, playing a harlequin, in order to please the old lady, she did everything she could! It's shameless!
Qin Huining scolded Qin Yining in her heart, and the smile on her face was almost unbearable.
As soon as Sun turned around, she was looking at Qin Huining's stiffness in her eyes, she sighed helplessly in her heart, she could see Qin Huining's rejection of Qin Yining, and she could also see Qin Huining's uneasiness, and she understood the origin of her uneasiness.
As a mother, apart from comforting her, she doesn't know what to do. In the end, she also wanted to recognize Qin Yining, and after carefully digesting the words of the Duchess of Dingguo in the past two days, the Sun family only thought that she had given birth to another daughter.
Could it be that if she raised another daughter, Qin Huining would still be like this?
The more Sun thought about it, the more his face became heavier and heavier.
Qin Huining was angry, and he didn't notice the faces of the Sun family and the others, just smiling as usual.
But which of the people in this room is not a human spirit? The expressions of the mother and son fell in everyone's eyes. They think differently.
But in the final analysis, now they can be regarded as aware of Qin Yining's powerful behavior. When she just entered the door, everyone could see the old lady's rejection of her, but now? After only a few days of hard work, she has the ability to make the old lady laugh like never before, and she can also let the old lady hold her and give her a bird's nest every day to replenish her body.
Old Taijun forgot that when she beat Qin Huining violently that day, two or three maids and wives didn't take her down?
But this old lady is happy, and no one will touch the head for no reason.
Mama Qin looked at the old lady's fairness and being so close to Qin Yining, and her smile deepened.
"Old lady." Just as Yan Yan was laughing in the room, a pleasing maid came in outside, saluted and replied: "Old Taijun, the grandson of the Duke of Dingguo is here, this son is talking to Xiangye in the outer courtyard, saying that he wants to come in and ask the old lady to say goodbye, I don't know if the old lady can be idle here?" ”
The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this: "You have to be free, you have to be free, please come in." ”
"Yes." The handmaid withdrew.
The old lady asked the happy Sun, "Why is your nephew here?" Meng Ge'er is resting today? ”
"Back to the old lady, the lord is resting today, I want to come to Yuan Ming because I know that his uncle Xiu Mu came in a special hurry, and my mother also said that Yuan Ming admires his uncle's talent and learning the most, and he also has a stomach of problems in court affairs and wants to ask the master for advice."
