Qin Yining's heart, which had been hanging all day these days, finally let go when he saw Qin Huaiyuan, who was being led into the door by Qitai. However, seeing his father's embarrassed appearance, Qin Yining paused, and tears almost fell.

Because when he was imprisoned that day, he was ordered by the emperor to strip off his official uniform, boots, hats, and belts, and other things, and now Qin Huaiyuan is only wearing a dirty middle coat and silk pants, his hair is crooked and loose, and his hair is messy and scattered, and there are two straws stuck on the top of his head, and even his beard is tangled.

is so dashing and wise as a fairy, but now he is so embarrassed.

Qin Yining gritted his teeth, and wasted all his strength to not cry, so he just ran forward quickly and knelt down, hugging Qin Huaiyuan's legs.

"Father!"

Qin Huaiyuan lowered his head, raised his hand and wanted to touch his daughter's head, but when he saw the dust on his palms and the dirt between his fingernails, and then looked at Qin Yining's neat and shiny black hair, he hesitated to withdraw his hand, and only smiled: "Get up quickly, it's okay for my father, isn't it a good return." ”

This scene made the people on the side can't help but choke.

Qin Huining stood even more dumbfounded, never expecting that Qin Huaiyuan would fall to such a point.

Qin Yining rubbed Qin Huaiyuan's knees with affection, blinked back his tears, and then stood up and smiled brightly at Qin Huaiyuan, "Father will bathe and wash first, or go to see the old lady first?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Let's take a bath first, so as not to scare her old man." Seeing that Qin Huining was also there, Qin Huaiyuan said, "Sister Hui'er is back?" ”

Qin Huining came back to his senses, and stepped forward in three steps and two steps to bow down.

"Father, my daughter is back. In the past, it was the daughter who was ignorant and did a lot of wrong things, which disappointed the father, and asked the father to be magnanimous and forgive the daughter. Qin Huining's forehead was close to the ground, very humble.

Qin Huaiyuan looked at Qin Huining with complicated eyes for a moment before he said, "Hmm." Since Sister Yi has asked you to come back, you can live here, and in the future, you will abide by your duty and don't do that kind of thing again. ”

Qin Huining's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Since returning to the Hou Mansion today, it is the first time that Qin Yining's status in the Mansion has been so intuitively recognized.

Now Qin Yining is the person in charge of the house in this family, and the old lady, the Sun family, the second lady and the third wife will all listen to her arrangement!

In the past, why did she please Lao Taijun and the Sun family at home? Isn't it because they have the right to speak?

Now that Qin Yining is in charge, she even calculated Qin Yining......

Qin Huining suddenly came to her senses, she and Qin Yining could no longer be opponents.

Because the opponent, first of all, must stand on the perspective of equality and opposition.

She and Qin Yining can never be equal.

Qin Yining stepped on her head so easily and proudly, and she, if she wanted to save her life, she could only be attached to the Qin family, as long as she was attached to the Qin family for a day, she could not offend Qin Yining.

This realization made her heart cramp, and she was helpless. But Zhuangzi has suffered enough. She didn't want to spend a day of being harassed by war-torn people.

"Father, the daughter knows, and in the future, she will definitely listen to the words of the old lady, father and mother, and will also listen to the instructions of the fourth lady."

Hearing the change in her sincere tone and title, Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "That's good." ”

At this time, Qin Yining had already arranged for people to report to various places in the inner house, and also asked people to prepare fragrant soup for bathing in the side room of the study in the outer courtyard.

When Qin Huaiyuan and Qitai went to bathe and change clothes, Qin Yining instructed the kitchen to prepare a banquet, which would be placed in the flower hall of Cixiao Garden later.

After ordering this, Qin Yining couldn't sit still for a moment, his heart was full of joy and excitement for his father's safe return, so he stood outside the study and waited for Qin Huaiyuan.

After half an hour, Qin Huaiyuan came out.

At this time, his hair was half dry, loosely tied on the top of his head, fixed with a black scarf, wearing a jasper-colored Hangzhou silk straight jacket, and wearing soft cloth boots under his feet.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Father, let's go back together." ”

"Okay." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and bowed, "Qitai just told me about the affairs of the house, you did a good job." ”

"Father, don't praise me, it's the first time I've been in charge, and I'm in a hurry to take care of my head and tail, and thanks to the guidance of the old lady and my mother, I can be stable."

"You girl, you've learned to be humble." Qin Huaiyuan smiled, "You are very smart, you have courage, and you are better at figuring out people's hearts, which is very good." This time, what you do at home and what you do outside, it's all good. If it weren't for you to take in the homeless, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort for my father to come back. ”

Qin Yining was naturally happy to be praised by her father, but what she cared about the most was the last sentence.

"Father, is the emperor angry?"

Qin Huaiyuan bowed his head: "It's angry, after all, your house on Changchun Mountain is adjacent to the queen, and I won't say what the people think." You can also analyze why the emperor is angry. But because of this, the people's voice was high, Cao Guozhang couldn't attack me, and the emperor was a little jealous. Taking advantage of the fact that the people of Qingliu interceded for me again, the emperor was relieved. It's just that your second uncle was moved to the Ministry of Rites to be a waiter. ”

It is the same three products, and the household department and the ritual department are naturally different. And the emperor was willing to release Qin Huaiyuan earlier, I'm afraid he was afraid that Cao Guozhang would take the opportunity to do it, right? After all, even if the emperor is angry again, he still retains a trace of reason, and wants to keep Qin Huaiyuan, a good helper, to contain Cao Guozhang in the future.

In fact, the emperor did not remove all the official positions of the Qin family in one go, and Qin Yining was already very happy.

The most fortunate thing is that I did not make a mistake.

"As long as I can help my father, I am most afraid of doing something wrong and helping him."

"Where?" Qin Huaiyuan smiled, "It's a shame to have you and your second and third uncles outside." And I've received all the things you asked people to give. It's really good to repel mosquitoes, otherwise I might have been bitten out of my bag right now. ”

Qin Yining said with a smile: "Thanks to the thoughtfulness of Shopkeeper Zhong. ”

……

The father and daughter chatted casually, as if they had endless words, Qin Huaiyuan had never experienced this prison disaster, their attitudes were normal, and these chaos seemed to have never lingered in their hearts.

The whole family gathered in the old lady's Cixiao Garden at this time, even the eleventh cousin, who appeared most infrequently.

As soon as she saw Qin Huaiyuan, the old lady's tears couldn't be stopped, and the tears of crying in her arms and her eldest son covered her face.

The second and third masters also circled around Qin Huaiyuan, patting him on the shoulder, comforting him for his suffering.

The ladies were smiling and wiping away tears. Sun grinned even more, laughing and crying with red eyes.

After a while, the next person replied that the banquet was ready.

Qin Yining smiled and went to help the old lady: "The whole family is together today, let's have a reunion dinner, the old lady is a person with good fortune and longevity, and in the future, our family will be safe and sound, and we will live a long life." ”

The old lady was overjoyed when she heard it, and said continuously: "Good, good!" ”

The whole family entered the banquet with laughter, because it was a family banquet, Qin Huaiyuan was rare and in danger, so the old lady ordered the screen in the middle to be removed. Although the family obeys the rules of food and food, the atmosphere is very cheerful and harmonious after a meal.

After the meal, the servants withdrew from the table, waited for everyone to rinse their mouths, and served tea again, Qin Huaiyuan said slowly: "The whole family is here today, I have a few words to say." ”
