Picking oranges should be true, but the pace is not fast.

"Ma'am." Mother Jin tied the necklace for the Sun family, and gently persuaded her: "As Miss Four said, the Duchess of Dingguo must be in a bad mood now, and she must not have the heart to laugh with others, it is better for you to only take Miss Four with you, the Duchess of Dingguo has always liked Miss Four, and Miss Four will enlighten people, and she will definitely be able to explain one or two for the Duchess of Dingguo." ”

What Mother Jin said was already very subtle, if Qin Huining went with her, it would not be enough to give the Duchess of the country to add blockage, where could she comfort people.

Sun shook his head: "I don't care about one more of her, let's go out together without Sister Hui'er, and Sister Hui will be sad when we look back." He waved his hand and ordered to pick oranges: "Don't go quickly." ”

Only then did the orange picker trot to pass the word.

Qin Yining was also served by Bingtang and Songlan and put on a light green cloak, a white fox scarf and a lying rabbit inlaid with a ruby. She was dressed elegantly, and her snow-white fur broke her already delicate and white cheeks.

Looking at her face, Sun could think of Qin Huaiyuan's peerless appearance in his youth.

Over the years, Qin Huaiyuan has grown older, grown a beard, and has a more elegant feeling, but he no longer has the handsomeness that he couldn't take off his eyes when he was young, and now he looks at Qin Yining as if he has returned to the best years of the year.

Sun smiled and straightened the rabbit for Qin Yining: "Take a closer look, although Sister Yi'er's appearance is similar to your father's, her face and nose are still very similar to mine." ”

Qin Yining just smiled obediently when he heard this.

Mother Jin smiled and said, "That's natural, Fourth Miss is the daughter of you and Master Tai, so naturally she follows the two of you." Judging from the slave maid, the fourth lady is also very similar to the lady when she was young, and the dimples on her cheeks when she laughs. ”

Hearing this, Sun nodded and lightly tapped the tip of Qin Yining's nose.

Qin Huining followed Fugui into the door with the orange picking, and saw such a warm scene of them.

Seeing that they were all wearing the same style of scarves and lying rabbits, holding hands affectionately, Qin Huining felt like an outsider, and he would never be able to integrate into this family.

"Miss Huining is here." Mother Jin saluted with a smile, and saw that Qin Huining was only wearing a light pink splendid cotton cloak, so she asked with a smile: "The slave remembered that the fox fur scarf and the lying rabbit were sent to the girl, why didn't the girl wear it?" ”

Qin Huining coughed lightly twice before saying, "I thought that such a good thing would definitely be kept for the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect that my mother and Miss Yining were using it." ”

Sun smiled: "What is worth keeping?" If you have it, wear it, are you afraid that there will be no new ones to use during the New Year? ”

Qin Yining walked up to Qin Huining with a smile, looked her up and down with a smile in her eyebrows, and then stuffed her hand warmer to Qin Huining, and said gently: "Rich and noble, it's such a cold day, why don't you want to bring a hand stove for your girl when you go out?" And this cloak, I remember that there was a matching Guanyin pocket, why didn't you wear it? In case of cold, my mother will feel distressed again. ”

Sun frowned and said, "It's cold, why don't you pay attention to adding clothes?" Didn't you come to find you and say that we were going to the Guogong Mansion? Let the people of your grandmother's house see it, as if I was treating you harshly. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and instructed Mother Jin: "Go and bring my hood of similar color to Sister Hui'er." ”

"Yes." Mother Jin retreated with a smile, and glanced at Qin Huining meaningfully before turning around.

Qin Huining was holding Qin Yining's hand stove, although the warmth came into the palm of his hand, his body was still cold, and only a fire seemed to be burning in his heart.

Qin Yining definitely did it on purpose!

Why didn't she find out before that Qin Yining was such a person who could sow discord! A sentence that seems to be concerned makes people think that she is pretending to be pitiful! But no one who listens to it will think that Qin Yining is bad!

Qin Huining stiffly squeezed out a smile: "Thank you, mother." ”

She is now obedient, and she knows that Qin Yining is a master who can do everything, and she doesn't dare to make trouble with her in front of the Sun family.

Mother Jin came to serve Qin Huining and put on the Guanyin pocket, and it happened that the little girl also went back and forth saying that the carriage was ready, so she went to give the old lady a reply and went to the Dingguo Mansion together.

The Dingguo Mansion was really as Qin Yining thought, and it felt a little gloomy.

Although the eldest aunt and the second aunt were laughing, they could not hide their anxiety in their eyebrows. The Duchess of Dingguo couldn't see any clues on her face, but the "Sichuan" character pattern in the center of her eyebrows became more obvious.

"It's hard for you to want to come back to see me." Duchess Dingguo smiled very satisfied.

"Sister Yi said that she was worried that her grandmother had been suffocating her thoughts in her heart for the past two days, and I only thought of it when she mentioned it." Sun is a rectum, so naturally he has something to say.

The Duchess of Dingguo waved at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining was handing the cloak to rock candy, and when he saw this, he stepped forward to salute: "Grandmother." ”

Duchess Dingguo looked her up and down with a smile, and said, "Yes, this white fox skin is lining the young girl's complexion, how can I see that your complexion is better than before, and your skin is also delicate?" ”

"It's not thanks to the rock candy that has conditioned me, I have eaten well and lived well recently, and my waist has thickened." Qin Yining stretched out his face to the Duchess of the Kingdom: "Look, my face is round." ”

Duchess Dingguo was amused by her appearance.

The eldest aunt smiled: "Where is it so exaggerated as you say, but there is a little meat on the face, the child's, so I still feel thinner." ”

The second aunt also nodded: "Yes, Sister Yi'er eats more, sleeps more, and recuperates, when will it be good to develop Sister Hui like this." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Qin Huining, who was standing with his hands down.

She wore a small water-green jacket with a magenta eight-panel skirt underneath, she didn't feel fat, but she was also round and jade, Qin Yining stood with her, and she looked much thinner.

Qin Huining stiffly accompanied the smiling face, but in her heart she was secretly scolding her second aunt for being involved in many things, as if she was fat! Isn't this changing the law to remind everyone that she has been blessed by Qin Yining for more than ten years!

Qin Yining said with a smile: "What the second aunt said is that I work hard to eat. ”

The elder who was amused by a sentence laughed again.

Qin Huining was so angry that she almost bit her gums and bleed.

What do you mean! Is she so good at eating?

Bao's mother was coming in with a snack at this moment, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Biao said so, you should use more mung bean cake and cinnamon sugar cake." ”

"Yes, your mother said that you like to eat cinnamon sugar cakes, you should eat more." Duchess Dingguo picked up a piece of pale yellow and translucent pastry and fed it to Qin Yining.

Qin Yining was not pretentious, he took a big bite, and everyone who watched laughed, and even Sun, who had been frowning for a few days, was in a relaxed mood at this time, thinking: Mother Jin is right, in the end, it is Sister Yi'er who will solve people.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was light, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Old lady." The one who replied was Xiao Yao, the little girl next to the Duchess of Dingguo, "Grandpa Guo and Uncle Guo are back." I heard that my aunt and grandmother and my cousin were coming, and I had ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal, saying that we would have lunch together later. At this time, the grandfather and uncle of Ziguo went to the study. ”

When the Duchess of Dingguo heard this, she thought for a while and said, "What is the face of the grandfather and the uncle?" ”

Xiao Yao's head hung lower, and his voice trembled a little and said: "Back to the old lady, the slave and maid are watching from a distance in front of the second gate, and the grandfather and uncle are not very happy. He quickly raised his eyes and glanced at the Duchess of Dingguo.

The Duchess of Dingguo knew that there were some words, and Xiao Yao didn't dare to reply.

She didn't want to embarrass the little girl, so she said, "You go and call the elder who followed Brother Ming, and tell him to come over immediately, I have something to ask him." ”

"Yes." Xiao Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran out.

After a while, a young man wearing a dark blue cotton jacket and a six-fold hat entered the door, only knelt in the outer room, and saluted through the screen: "The villain greets the old lady." ”

"Lu'an, you get up and talk back."

"Old Madam Xie." Lu'an stood up, still bowing his head.

The Duchess of Dingguo asked, "Have you heard what Brother Ming said today?" Why are your grandfathers and your uncles unhappy? ”

Lu'an said: "The specific thing, the villain is not very clear, but outside the carriage, I vaguely heard the grandfather and the uncle say that the queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a headache and couldn't sleep all day long, saying that it was necessary to eat people's brains to be cured, and the villain also heard the uncle say that the emperor seemed to want to find a miracle doctor to dedicate to the Great Zhou and treat the queen mother of the Great Zhou." ”

Hearing this, the Duchess of Dingguo nodded and said, "You go down." ”

"Yes." Lu'an bowed and retreated.

There was silence in the room.

After a while, the eldest aunt squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Da Zhou is really a barbarian, if you want to say that eating people's brains can cure headaches, can a lame man eat people's legs?" ”

The second aunt couldn't help but worry and said, "I don't know what happened when they fought against that group of barbarians in Xihua City." I knew that this would be a concern, and we really shouldn't have let the second and fourth families go......"

Qin Yining's eldest uncle and second uncle guarded Xihua City, and even the second and fourth cousins lived in Xihua City with their families.

The second cousin is the eldest son of the second uncle, the fourth cousin is the concubine of the second uncle, and the second cousin and the fourth cousin each have a son, and now they are also in Xihuacheng. Calculated carefully, there are far more people in the second room on the front line than in the long room, and the eldest aunt is enough to only think about the eldest uncle, but the second aunt is worried about her husband and son, and she is worried about her son and her grandson, and she can't live in peace all day long.

Duchess Dingguo naturally knew the bitterness in her daughter-in-law's heart, so she took her hand and patted her: "Don't worry, our family has never done anything that damages yin morality, our ancestors accumulate virtue, and our children and grandchildren will definitely be able to be blessed by God, and they will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

The second aunt nodded and said with a smile: "Mother said yes." Look at me, I'm worried about them, you're more worried than me, but I'm not happy with you, it's really my daughter-in-law's. ”

"Mother's heart, what's wrong." Duchess Dingguo smiled and instructed Bao's mother: "Call the kitchen to prepare, and Grandpa Guo will come back later, and call the girls to come and eat together." ”

Bao's mother smiled and groaned, and ordered the little girl to go to each room to run errands, and called the girls and masters to Chunxi Hall.
