Chapter Ninety-Four: Aunt Cao
"Mama Qin, but what does the old lady command?" Qin Yining saw that it was Mama Qin who spoke, and hurriedly stood up.
Mama Qin led Qin Yining to the verandah on the side, and said in a low voice: "Fourth Miss, the new aunt is in the house, the old lady likes it tightly, and the slave knows that you are a filial girl, but you must be aware of it, don't be impulsive." ”
Don't be impulsive, it contains too many deep meanings.
Don't you rush into the new aunt on the spur of the moment?
Or don't rush into the old lady on the spur of the moment?
Or don't be impulsive and hold a grudge against the old lady?
Mama Qin is a powerful person around the old lady, and her meaning is ninety percent the meaning of the old lady.
Why, the old lady did such a dirty thing of unloading the grind and killing the donkey, did she still want to bully her mother while buying it from her?
Qin Yining smiled at the corner of his lips, but his eyes gradually became cold.
As soon as Lao Taijun learned that the men in the Dingguo Mansion were beheaded and imprisoned the Sun family in the ancestral hall, and shouted that she would divorce her, she saw through Lao Taijun.
Sun is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family. The love affair with the old lady has been nearly 30 years.
Normal people, even if they have cats and dogs, have feelings for a long time, let alone people?
But the old lady can be so dark about the half daughter of the Sun family.
What about yourself?
She and Lao Taijun have only met for less than two months.
If the old lady is kind to her for ten points, then five points are because of her father's love for her, three points are because her grandfather is the prince of Dingguo, and the remaining two points are half because of her status as a princess, and the marriage will be of great use. There is only one point left, which is the love between grandparents and grandchildren who have gotten along with each other during these days.
Now that the Dingguo Mansion has fallen, she has lost three points of dependence.
She would never watch her mother being bullied, and she would abandon her mother and switch to the camp for such a little illusory happiness. It's only a matter of time before she tears her face with the old lady, and she can now be regarded as that bit of grandparents and grandchildren.
Then all she has left is her father's love and the identity of her daughter-in-law.
As long as her father still loves her, she has a six-point chance of winning, and she can ensure that she and her mother are safe in the back house.
Qin Yining is a calmer person the more difficult he encounters, and in just a few breaths, he has already sorted out his thoughts, smiled at Mama Qin, and said, "Thank you Mama for your advice." ”
Mama Qin looked at Qin Yining's bright eyes, and for some reason, she felt a little cold in her heart.
She is too similar to Qin Huai when she was young. So much so that Mama Qin was in a trance for a moment, as if she saw Qin Huaiyuan, a young man who had fought wits and courage with others in order to protect the old lady.
Mama Qin smiled dryly: "It's nothing, girl, please come in first, right?" ”
"Okay." Qin Yining and Mama Qin walked side by side to the main house and asked, "Mama Qin, where is my father?" ”
"The master just went to the study in the outer courtyard."
"Father has a new aunt, he should be very happy."
Mama Qin could hear that Qin Yining wanted to know Qin Huaiyuan's attitude towards this matter through her mouth.
This matter is not a secret, that is, if she doesn't say it now, Qin Yining turned around and had a way to ask others, Mama Qin was not so confused that she couldn't even tell the difference, so she simply became a good person.
She whispered, "The master just sat down for a moment and left. Immediately, the old lady held the eldest lady accountable. ”
In other words, the Sun family is punished for kneeling here, and Qin Huai is far from knowing.
Qin Yining smiled gratefully. "Thank you."
"The fourth girl is too polite."
The two stood still under the corridor, Qin Yining thought about it, then called rock candy to her side, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Bingtang immediately nodded and said, "Okay, the slave will go." ”
Mama Qin didn't know what Qin Yining arranged for rock candy to do, and the girl was telling the people around her, and she couldn't care about it. personally lifted the warm curtain and invited Qin Yining into the house.
Qin Yining smiled at Sun comfortingly, and then instructed Songlan and Qiulu: "You two, go and get three thick warm pads, and bring two more charcoal basins, the old lady is merciful, even if she is angry and punishes my mother to kneel, it is impossible for her to kneel on the cold stone ground in the cold wind at night, if it really makes my mother frosty, the old lady must be distressed." ”
"Yes." Songlan and Autumn Dew immediately went to prepare a thick warm mat, and took charcoal basins, cloaks, hand stoves, etc.
Qin Yining's stern gaze swept over the stunned servants and maids of the Cixiao Garden under the corridor, and said coldly: "You are all the people who are serving around the old lady, how can you misinterpret the old lady's orders?" This matter is closed to the door, everyone knows that you are slaves and maids who do things without using your brains, if it spreads, won't the reputation of the old lady be ruined by your group? ”
Mama Qin secretly admired Qin Yining's wit and courage in her heart, and was intimidated by her, and saluted with several maidservants: "The slave knows that she is wrong. ”
Qin Yining was satisfied, gave Sun, who was looking at her with bright eyes and hope, a reassuring smile, and then turned around and entered the house.
Sun's car has a thick cushion, two charcoal basins are placed in front of him, one left and one right, and he is also covered with a thick coat, holding a warm hand stove, his body is warm, and his heart has a bottom.
Mother Jin and Cai Tangerine were even warmer and almost cried, and the trust and worship of Qin Yining in their hearts rose to a new level.
And Qin Yining did not avoid people when she spoke, and her words were clearly heard by the people in the room.
The old lady's face turned red when she pointed out that Sang scolded Huai.
Qin Yining entered the house, and with a smile on his face, he bypassed the interstitial screen of "happy eyebrows" to the inner room, and when his beautiful eyes turned, he saw the people in the room clearly.
The old lady wore a rose purple brocade gown, and wore a ruby-inlaid forehead of the same color, and was very festive.
Sitting next to the old lady was a young woman wearing light pink makeup, a phoenix hairpin, and an extremely bright appearance. She has a pink face and peach cheeks, a nose and cherry lips, and the corners of her lips are slightly upturned, she seems to be laughing even if she is not smiling, she is really apricot eyes with affection, and her powder face is full of spring, she looks like she is only in her early twenties, and she does not look like a thirty-year-old person at all.
This is the queen's sister-in-law, Cao Yuqing.
Cao Yuqing is not very similar to the queen in appearance, but the bright bones are the same.
Rao is Qin Yining, who is also a woman, and when he sees her, he can't help but want to look at her twice.
And when she looked at Cao Yuqing, Cao Yuqing did not shy away from looking her up and down, her eyes full of amazement.
"This is Miss Four, right? What a handsome look! The fourth lady is so similar to the old man when he was young! ”
Cao Yuqing seemed to be stunned, shook off Qin Huining, who was holding her arm, got up to greet her, raised her hand as if she wanted to touch Qin Yining's face, but she was only halfway moving, and then she came back to her senses and withdrew her hand, took off a pair of bracelets of mutton fat and white jade on her wrist, and held it to Qin Yining with both hands.
"Fourth Miss, don't dislike it, this is a little bit of my heart."
The beauty smiled, with bright teeth and bright eyes, which was really unbearable to refuse.
Seeing Cao Yuqing so attentive, Qin Huining's eyes were straight, and the old lady was also very surprised, and just about to reprimand Qin Yining for not knowing the rules and not knowing how to salute, he swallowed it back alive.
Qin Yining looked at the Cao family with a smile, curtsied and bowed, and said: "Aunt Cao is good, aunt is kind, I shouldn't have shirked it, but today my aunt entered the door, it should have been my preparation gift to my aunt, and I really shouldn't have accepted my aunt's gift." ”
She is a concubine, and she is the real master of this house! Cao Yuqing is just a little aunt, even if it is given by the emperor, it is just a concubine!
Concubines are bought and sold, and their status is a little higher than that of ordinary girls, and they have to call themselves "concubines" in front of their wives. What qualifications does a subordinate have to see her as an elder? Where did you get such a big face to give her a meeting gift for this young lady?
Qin Yining's words are too heavy!
The second lady and the third lady were nervous, and the third, seventh, and eighth ladies on the side all tightened the handkerchiefs in their hands.
It was Qin Huining who sneered, secretly laughing at Qin Yining's lack of knowing whether to live or die.
The old lady was extremely nervous, and scolded in a deep voice: "Sister Yi! You are presumptuous! Don't kneel down and apologize to Aunt Cao! ”
"Get on your knees? Apologize? Qin Yining looked at the old lady in surprise, and said with an innocent face: "Grandmother, granddaughter doesn't know what is wrong, why do you want to apologize?" Could it be that the rules that grandmother taught her granddaughter a few days ago are all fake? ”
The old lady choked, and before she had time to speak, Qin Yining had already continued: "Grandmother said that concubines are bought and sold, and in some people's homes, concubines are used to entertain guests, and the identity of the concubine is just a high-level slave. I am my father's daughter-in-law, and my grandmother asked me to be a young lady and kowtow to a slave maid to admit my mistakes? You're not mistaken, right? ”
"I, when did I say this!?" The old lady's face turned red, and she smiled nervously at Cao Yuqing: "Yuqing, don't listen to the children's nonsense, your mother will never look down on you." ”
Cao Yuqing was stunned, her beautiful eyes looked at Qin Yining, there were many emotions in her eyes that Qin Yining couldn't understand, and then she unexpectedly saluted Qin Yining.
"It's the concubine who has overstepped the rules. The concubine was just too happy to see the fourth lady, so she forgot for a while, please don't blame the young lady. ”
"Aunt Cao doesn't have to be so polite. After that, it's a family. Qin Yining smiled generously.
The sound of breathing in the room, which was quiet for a while, could be heard.
Since Cao Yuqing entered the door, the old lady has always held her, treating her as an ancestor, and in order to please her, he even found a reason to pull Sun out and punish him for kneeling.
Who would have thought that this "savage" lady would come back and ignore it, and give Cao Yuqing a dumb loss in person!
Cao Yuqing actually suffered this loss meekly and obediently!
The second lady and the third lady also looked down on the old lady's approach in their hearts, the current miserable situation of the Sun family inevitably made them feel like a rabbit died and a fox was saddened by things, and now seeing Qin Yining supporting the Sun family like this, they inexplicably felt refreshed in their hearts!
The third miss, the seventh miss and the eighth miss all looked at Qin Yining's eyes with admiration, but they were full of worry in an instant.
This is the Cao family!
This is the eldest daughter of Cao Guozhang and the sister of Queen Cao!
Qin Yining bumped into him in such a hot face, wasn't he afraid that Cao Yuqing would go back and sue him?
Their worries, the old lady naturally thought of it.
But what the old lady was afraid of was not Cao Yuqing's black state of suing Qin Yining, but that he was afraid that he would anger Cao Guozhang and the queen at once!
The old lady was furious, and threw the brass cigarette pouch in his hand at Qin Yining hard, and yelled angrily: "Beast! You still don't kneel for me! ”
