After Wang Hui watched them finish their execution, she took Chun Xing back to the main courtyard. The latter matters were naturally handled by the housekeeper, and by the way, he told the few people he sent to keep an eye on Qin Jingyue.

Speaking of Wang Hui, a woman, her mind is really ruthless, and it can be seen from how she treats her own daughter today. In her heart, except for Qin Huaihu and her son, no one else is too important. Of course, if you are honest, well-behaved and obedient, and at the same time very good at judging the situation, you can get her to be a little sincere; But if you are extremely stupid and arrogant to ruin the reputation of the Qin Mansion, then no matter what your identity is, she will be severely punished.

This obvious difference can be seen from Qin Jingyan and Qin Jingyue, of course, Qin Jingyan is the smart and obedient one, while Qin Jingyue is the stupid and pampered and arrogant.

"Mother, are you back?" Qin Jingyan, who had just finished feeding Qin Huaihu decoction, saw her mother coming back as soon as she turned around, so she asked with a smile.

When Wang Hui entered the house and saw her sensible eldest daughter, her gloomy face improved slightly, and she nodded in response: "Hmm." Walking towards their father and daughter, they found that Qin Huaihu, who was lying on the bed, was asleep again.

"After taking the medicine, my father said that he was sleepy, and I thought that it might be a reaction to the medicine, so I served my father and lay down." Seeing her mother's puzzled reaction, Qin Jingyan explained softly.

Wang Hui smiled slightly, looking at her eldest daughter, she was really becoming more and more sensible and considerate. Thinking like this, Wang Hui stretched out her hand and caressed the hair on her face lovingly, "Mother's Yan'er is becoming more and more considerate, gentle and virtuous, you marry into the prefect's family with this appearance, and your mother can really rest assured." ”

Qin Jingyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly and whispered: "My mother is used to making fun of my daughter, how can Yan'er have a mother who is so good?" This is about to get married...... Before marrying into the Xu family, you have to trouble my mother to give me more rules. ”

Originally, the voice was small, but when it came to the shyness, the voice was even quieter, if it wasn't for Wang Hui being close, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying. However, after saying these few words, Wang Hui was very satisfied, "Okay, in a few days, my mother will invite a grandmother who teaches the rules of a famous lady to come back, and teach you the rules that you are not familiar with for a few days; Then the rest of the time, my mother will teach you some things about running the house and how to manage the backyard well. ”

Qin Jingyan saw that Wang Hui agreed, and smiled and saluted: "Mother, thank you~~"

"Hehe, really, it's so polite to my mother." Wang Hui glanced at her lovingly, turned her head to look at Qin Huaihu, and found that he was already asleep; She hadn't closed her eyes all night, and she was a little sleepy at this time, so she turned back to Qin Jingyan and said, "Yan'er, your father is fine, you don't have to stay here, go back!" ”

Qin Jingyan also turned her head to look at Qin Huaihu, and found that she really didn't have anything to do if she stayed here, so she nodded obediently and agreed: "Okay, mother, you haven't rested all night, take advantage of your free time now, let's sleep!" Yan'er retired. "Say a salute.

"yes, okay." Wang Hui smiled and nodded......

Back in the courtyard, Yanliu brought tea and put it on his master's side, and then retreated to the side to wait. After a while, the door was pushed open, and a girl wearing a red maid's costume came in, only to see her carefully close the door, and came to Qin Jingyan with small steps and said respectfully: "Miss, the slave maid has inquired." In the commotion just now, it was Mrs. Ping'er who was dealing with the second lady's personal maid. ”

"Oh?" took a sip of the tea, lowered a pair of bright eyes that were very similar to Qin Huaihu, and thought: "How could my mother send a girl?" ”

"The slave maid heard from the people who were cleaning the ancestral hall that the second lady did not kneel in the ancestral hall at all last night, but slept under a quilt all night; And the quilt was brought by Ping'er. The red-clothed maid Shui Tao told her master everything she had heard.

"Heh~ She has a big heart, can she sleep in this situation?" Gently putting the teacup back on the table, Qin Jingyue smiled mockingly.

"As soon as Mrs. went this morning, she saw that the second lady was still asleep, and immediately became angry, and ordered someone to carry a bucket of cold water to wake up the second lady. After that, the lady also slapped the second lady a few times and scolded her; Now the second lady is kneeling! And no one dared to come forward to help this time, because the lady had sent someone to guard the ancestral hall. Shui Tao said the rest of the time.

"Well deserved." Qin Jingyan sneered as if she was listening to a joke.

"Miss, this time the second miss is going to suffer an old sin." After listening to Shui Tao's words, Yanliu said to Qin Jingyan with a bright eye: "And this is just a punishment for Mrs. alone, when the master is well, I am afraid that it will be more unbearable." ”

"Hmph--who let the second lady be so arrogant and unreasonable, every time she supports Na Ping'er and shows off her power in front of the maids. Now it's okay, and I've been sold by my wife. Shui Tao can be regarded as a relief from hatred, because she is not less angry with Ping'er.

It's also angry to say this, obviously she is the eldest lady's personal maid, why should she be angry with her, the second lady's personal maid? This is going to talk about the favor of Qin Jingyue and Qin Jingyan.

Before this happened, Qin Jingyue was between Qin Huaihu and Wang Hui, and she was the treasure in her palm, and she was very pampered; It is also because of this that she has developed such an arrogant and barbaric temperament. And Qin Jingyan has always been so well-behaved, not that she has no heart to compete for favor, but she has always felt that as the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion, she must have a certain amount of majesty and courtesy, she must be filial and respectful to her father and mother, and she must be humble and loving to her brothers, friends, brothers and sisters; However, it was because she paid too much attention to etiquette that she couldn't follow some of the things that Qin Jingyue could do, which was why Qin Jingyue was more popular than her.

However, now that the situation has changed, she Qin Jingyue has fallen into a quagmire, and she is afraid that she will not be able to turn over in this life. And what about her Qin Jingyan? will marry into the prefect's family full of glory and luxury, which is the final difference.

"Oh, that's fine. This time, my father and mother are afraid to see very clearly who is the one who really fights for them face, and she Qin Jingyue is waiting to marry Liao Jingchen, that playboy! And I, the second young lady of the noble prefect's family. Speaking of this, Qin Jingyan smiled proudly.

"Yes, our young lady is more blessed than the second young lady." Yanliu complimented at the right time.

Shui Tao also echoed: "Mmmm, that's right." ”

========

For everything that happened in the Qin Mansion, they didn't know anything, and even if they knew, they would laugh it off and not pay much attention to it.

After sending Sikong Mingyi out of the city, Qin Haoran and the Mu family brothers rushed to the north of the city with Wanlei and a few people. The north of the city in the southern palace was originally a large wasteland, and there were some broken walls of the old city, which were left over from the war before the unification of the Great Jing Dynasty. And because it is close to the Beicheng River, there are several large reed fields overgrown with reeds.

Since the government wanted to develop this place and expand it to the southern palace castle, after a period of tidying up, the broken walls and reed fields have disappeared, and now only a large area of bare land remains.

"Cousin, which area did Sikong Gongzi help us get?" Mu Cen looked left and right, and asked uncertainly when he saw that it was so big.

Hearing this, Qin Yanran took out the title deed from his arms, found the location of the recorded land from it, then looked up and looked around, stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction: "The location of the mark is probably on the right." ”

"Shall we go over and have a look?" Mu Yan asked.

"Uh-huh." Receiving a consensus of opinion, everyone walked towards the right together.

There are already several large clans on the land in the north of the city who have obtained the right to use the land by tying up Qinhuai Lake, and now construction has begun; However, as far as Qin Yanran observed them, most of them were built mansions, and few people used them to build others. It may be because of Qinhuai Lake, the land area obtained by these big households is basically the same, but compared with the area obtained by the Qin Mansion, it is a small matter.

"Heh, this Qin Huaihu is really okay, others give a lot of gifts to slap him, he actually gives people such a little land, it's really enough!" Along the way, seeing that the boundary of the house built by Qin Huaihu's family was twice as large as others, Mu Cen muttered sarcastically.

Qin Yanran smiled and didn't say anything after hearing this, while Mu Yan reached out and patted his brother's shoulder, and said in a calm tone: "Now no one has more area than we get." ”

Mu Cen was slightly stunned, and then reacted with a proud smile: "That's right, now the big family here is us!" ”

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mingyi, he not only solved the difficulty of buying land for us, but the place he chose is still far away from them, so that we don't have to meet those people for a long time." Qin Yanran smiled gently, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood at this time.

"Hmm." Mu Yan nodded approvingly, and then remembered a question that had been haunting his heart, so he asked, "Is this Sikong Gongzi the famous Sikong family?" ”

"Which one? Is the surname Sikong famous? Before Qin Yanran could answer, Mu Cen asked rhetorically.

Mu Yan glanced back at Mu Cen and replied with a sigh: "Which other Sikong family can it be?" Of course, it is the richest man in our Dajing Dynasty and the Sikong family of the imperial merchants. ”

Mu Cen was so surprised that he was dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at Qin Haoran in a daze, "Cousin, is it?" ”

Seeing this little cousin's stupid expression, Qin Haoran was full of cuteness, and reached out to touch the top of his head as he usually treats leisurely, and said softly: "Well, he is the second son of Sikong Mansion." He is also Yu'er's life-saving benefactor, so we are familiar with him because of this relationship. ”

"Oh--" Muzen nodded knowingly, "So he also saved Cousin You'er?" However, others seem to be mild on the surface, but they are actually quite cold. ”

Mu Yan nodded, he thought so too.

"Mingyi's personality is like this, but the others are really good, and when you are familiar with it in the future, you will be able to understand it." Qin Yanran smiled and continued to walk forward, "Okay, let's hurry up and take a look at the land, and we have to draw drawings for You'er!" She also specially instructed us to fence our land with red ropes, so as to save people from destroying it. ”

"yes, okay." The Mu brothers nodded in unison.
