Chapter 43: The Gift
"I know you love your daughter." The old lady laughed: "I just thought that there are two less people in Sister Yi'er's house now, and I want to order someone to choose a good one from Cixiao Garden and give it to Sister Yi'er." Now that you've got a plan, that's right. ”
Qin Yining ignored Qin Huining's eyes as if he was about to eat herself, and saluted happily: "Thank you old lady, thank you father." ”
Even though she resisted in her heart.
She wants to build Sydney House into a solid iron bucket, how can there be more people around her?
But her father made her face, and she couldn't help but know how to lift it. When people come, they come, and they can be resettled as much as they want to go back, so there is no need to upset my father in person.
Qin Huaiyuan is now in good spirits when he is happy to see everything, seeing Qin Yining's happy thanks, he has experienced the satisfaction of being a father to his children for the first time in many years, and his mood is becoming more and more happy.
After chatting a few more words, when the auspicious time came, everyone went to kowtow to the ancestors in turn according to their identities.
Qin Yining was naturally in line with the girls. The girls knelt in two rows, holding incense in both hands, respectfully kowtowing to the tablet of their ancestors, and then bowing incense in turn before withdrawing.
When all the rituals were over, the men went to the outer court.
The old lady said: "You all go back separately, the eldest lord wants to give a banquet in the mansion to thank his colleagues, you all be careful, don't bump into the distinguished guests." ”
The women responded in unison, "Yes." ”
The second lady thought for a while and said with a smile: "Uncle is now the crown prince and prince, and His Royal Highness the prince must also be present at the banquet, right?" ”
The old lady smiled and shook his head: "The prince will wait for three days later, and the prince will come to meet the prince in person, and we will still be busy at that time." ”
"The prince is coming?!" The third lady smiled and clapped her hands: "Oops! That's how decent that is! Our family is thanks to Uncle to have such an honor. ”
The old lady was overjoyed by what she said, and the wrinkles on her face were laughed a few more.
The second lady also grabbed Qin Yining's shoulder: "So I said, our sister Yi'er is a little lucky star, and good things will follow one after another after returning home." ”
The sisters laughed in unison.
When Qin Huining heard this, her fists clenched. What does this mean, could it be that because she was a concubine before, her father didn't become a princess?
The old lady nodded in agreement, folded her hands and bowed in the direction of the ancestral hall, and said: "I also found out that since Sister Yi came back, the boss's career has been smooth, and thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, the lost flesh and blood of our family can be found like a needle in a haystack." ”
The second lady and the third lady all followed the example of the old lady and worshiped three times reverently.
The third lady smiled and said, "Come on, there are a lot of things in the house today, let's go back to the courtyard separately, mother, my second sister-in-law and I will send you back." ”
The old lady bowed her head.
Mama Qin had already asked the stout mother-in-law to bring a small sedan chair, and waited for the old lady to sit down in the sedan chair, and the second lady and the third lady took the maidservant girl all the way and left the ancestral hall first.
Seeing that the elders were gone, the girls went all the way to the inner house.
The third and eighth ladies have been close to Qin Yining since they came, and they talked and laughed as usual along the way, but the seventh miss was not familiar with Qin Yining, but it could be seen that she was more respectful and enthusiastic than before.
Qin Huining and Sixth Miss walked behind them, watching a few people revolving around Qin Yining like stars and moons, and they couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.
Miss Six sneered and said: "No matter how noble the identity is, it's not that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked, and her personal maid is a thief, this time she can't rely on the eldest aunt's head, right?" People have been with you for a long time. ”
The originally joyful atmosphere was broken by Miss Six's words.
Qin Huining took Miss Six's arm and shook it: "Sister Shuang'er, don't talk about this, let's go back quickly." When he spoke, his eyes looked timidly in Qin Yining's direction, as if he was afraid of being bullied.
As soon as Miss Six saw Qin Huining like this, she instantly made up a lot of pictures of Qin Yining bullying Qin Huining, and became more and more upset for Qin Huining.
"Don't be afraid, there are always people who don't tend to be inflammatory, you still have me!"
Qin Huining gratefully held Miss Six's hand, her eyes rippling, as if she was about to cry.
Qin Yining glanced at Miss Three, Miss Seven, and Miss Eight, and the four of them tacitly walked forward with someone quickly.
By the time Qin Huining and Miss Six looked forward, several people had already walked ten steps away.
Miss Six was furious, "She dared to ignore me!" ”
Qin Yining said to the third lady in front: "Let them make trouble, do you want to surrender your identity and quarrel with them?" ”
The third lady nodded approvingly: "Today's eldest uncle is a banquet, more things are better than less things, the fourth sister don't go to heart, it's important to live in peace." ”
Qin Yining joked to the third lady: "That's why I said that the third sister is the most virtuous one, and it will be blessed to build an Amber Mansion in the future." ”
The third lady's face turned red, pinched Qin Yining's face and said, "Don't laugh at me, I'll do three, you will do four, and you will be next." Now that the eldest uncle has ascended to the position of the Grand Master, your husband's family must be either rich or noble, and there is still time to laugh at me. ”
Miss Seven and Miss Eight also laughed.
The eighth lady said: "What the third sister said is that I still heard some people speculating that the fourth sister will be the crown princess in the future." ”
Miss Seven also nodded: "That's right, now with your family background, being the crown prince and concubine is a good match, I heard that the prince is gentle and elegant, is a very elegant person, and is good at calligraphy and painting, and his attainments in calligraphy and painting have already reached the peak, although there is a side concubine in the house, but the side concubine is a side concubine after all." The crown prince will inherit the unification in the future, and the concubine will be the queen. ”
"Hey, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, the emperor is in good health, look at what you say." Qin Yining went to tickle Miss Seven: "I should tell Mama Zhan all this, and see if Mama Zhan beats you." ”
The third, seventh and eighth misses that Qin Yining said in the first half of the paragraph were heartbroken, and secretly thought that he had lost his words, but it was disrespectful for these words to spread out.
The latter words are stubborn words, intending to remove the topic. Miss Seven laughed with Qin Yining, and secretly sighed in her heart that Qin Yining was thinking deeply and smartly, and she was psychologically closer to Qin Yining.
It wasn't until they reached the fork in the road that Qin Yining said goodbye to them and went back to Sydney Courtyard.
Everything in Sydney is the same, except for the lack of Ruilan.
went to see Mama Zhan, so Qin Yining went back to the room to sit and rest.
Qiu Lu and Liu Ya were serving by their side, Qiu Lu was the same as usual, but Liu Ya was a little unpleasant.
Originally, she was a third-class maid by the side of the young lady, and Liu Ya had a heart for the top, but now the two second-class ones who were pressed on the top are gone. If they really know how to do things, they should immediately raise their sidekicks. Who would have thought that the girl in her own house was confined and didn't speak, but she asked the study in the outer courtyard to take the lead.
Moreover, Na Yaoqin and Yuqi are both first-class girls, which are higher than the previous Ruilan and Yuxiang!
Liu Ya felt that she would be on fire in the nest, and after coming down like this, she would have to get out sooner or later.
Qin Yining was playing with the tea bowl, looking at the lattice window in a daze, but he could see Liu Ya's slightly dissatisfied expression clearly.
She didn't quite understand what was wrong with Liu Ya, but she didn't want to see the people around her with a black face. It was to say: "Liu Ya will go and rest first." Autumn dew remains. ”
Liu Ya felt a resentment in her heart, there was no one around, and the young lady still refused to use her.
No need to pull it! She's happy to rest! Anyway, they are all third-class, and if you do more things, you won't get more monthly money!
Liu Ya saluted, then turned and left.
When only Qin Yining and Qiu Lu were left in the house, Qiu Lu said, "Girl, don't be like her." ”
"I don't care, I just don't know what's wrong with her, what's going on these days?"
Qiu Lu shook her head: "Except for Sister Ruilan's business, there is nothing to do, girl, how is Sister Ruilan now?" Everyone said that she was killed. You are not at home, and the slaves and maids are grounded and not allowed to go out, although Mama Zhan can walk around, but the slaves and maids dare not ask. ”
Qin Yining laughed, took Qiu Lu's hand and said, "Don't worry, Ruilan is now recuperating from her injuries at the Tayun Inn and is with Miss Tang." I have one more thing I want to do, and I might need your help. ”
Qiu Lu froze when she heard this, and said, "If the girl has something to do, even if she tells her, the slave and maid will never give up." ”
"It's not accurate yet, I'm just guessing. Today, my father is feasting with colleagues, I think, there must be people in the clear stream, and now that I have taken in Miss Tang, the people of the clear stream must know, and with their concern for Miss Tang, they will definitely take action. I want to take advantage of this ......" After the words, Qin Yining whispered a few words in Qiu Lu's ear.
Qiu Lu's eyes widened in surprise: "Girl, is this good?" ”
"What's so bad? I don't harm innocent people, but people who really have bad intentions can't escape either. ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Ya's voice came from outside: "Girl, someone from outside has come to give you a gift." ”
Qiu Lu's eyes widened, "Girl, you're guessing too accurate!" ”
What Qin Yining said just now is that someone will inevitably give gifts today.
Qin Yining Wan'er, let Qiu Lu go and help Liu Ya take the gift.
What was sent was a scroll of paintings, Qin Yining unfolded the painting, and was indeed stunned when he saw it.
Isn't this painting the "Eight Horses" hanging in King Ning's Mansion! Flattening the painting on the table of the Eight Immortals, Qin Yining's fingertips brushed the picture, and finally landed on the inscription in the lower left corner.
I saw this painting in King Ning's Mansion that day, and there was no payment on it.
And now, the painting has been mentioned, stamped, and written: "Qingyan Layman".
The name of the Qingyan layman, but anyone with a little common sense will know it, Qin Yining didn't understand it in the past, and later Mama Zhan also told her about it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, is a famous calligraphy and painting master, "Qing Banquet Layman" is the name of His Royal Highness the Prince when he is used to calligraphy and painting, taking the meaning of "when Qinghai feast, the four seas are leveled".
This painting turned out to be made by the prince!?
Liu Ya said with a smile at this time: "Girl, the person who came to King Ning's Mansion to deliver the painting was still waiting in the outer courtyard at this time, saying that His Royal Highness King Ning had something to say to the girl." ”
Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and said, "Got it." Autumn Dew went out with me. ”
When someone from King Ning's Mansion came, she must have wanted to see her.
