Chapter 25
"Grandmother, don't be angry, my mother treats us kindly, this time it was the eldest sister who trespassed."
Qin Wan glanced up, and it was the fourth sister Qin Mingqing, the daughter of the Liu family, who had been staying in the countryside with Mrs. Qin.
Liu's looks delicate and weak, and he has no opinions, but he still has a little foresight for the children, and puts Qin Mingqing next to Mrs. Qin, which not only fulfills her filial piety, but also frees her from the troubles of her mother-in-law, and stays away from the troubled waters of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After all, it is a child who has been raised by his side since he was a child, and he still has feelings to some extent.
"Is Ming Xuan okay in the academy?" Old Madam Qin gave Ji's steps down.
Ji hurriedly replied: "Brother Xuan'er is all right in the academy, it is estimated that he is on the road now, and the Egret Academy is only four or five days away from Shengjing. Brother Xuan wrote to ask about you a while ago. ”
"Brother Xuan is a good one, I heard that he followed Scholar Zhang to do his studies."
Mrs. Qin nodded, she was still a little satisfied with this grandson, what a privilege it was to be able to study with Scholar Zhang?
In the whole Shengjing, how many people sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze in front of Scholar Zhang and be his disciples, and there were many students of Scholar Zhang in the court. As Scholar Zhang is getting older, he no longer accepts disciples, and now Qin Mingxuan has become a closed disciple of Scholar Zhang, and I don't know how many people are jealous.
Ji glanced at Bai Zhishui proudly a few times, and did not speak "meekly".
Qin Wan looked at Qin Ruizhuo, who looked indifferent, still looking like a hanger.
The eldest brother is not bad in nature, but in the end he ended up like that, she doesn't believe that there is no credit for Ji and Qin Dongshan.
"Jiaojiao?" Bai Zhishui's voice recalled Qin Wan's divergent thoughts, and he straightened up.
Several children of the grandchildren got up in unison and kowtowed to Mrs. Qin in a regular manner, and Qin Wan's movements were half a beat slower, and she was still sitting on the chair.
"Grandmother," Qin Mingyue stepped forward, "The sixth sister didn't mean it, the sixth sister has a noble status, even if she sees the emperor, she doesn't need to salute." It's no wonder that the sixth sister is the future crown princess, and the emperor loves the sixth sister the most, so ......"
seems to be talking to Qin Wan, but in fact, he is saying that the identity of Mrs. Qin is not as noble as the emperor, and Qin Wan, who doesn't have to salute in front of the emperor, how can she behave in front of her?
"Presumptuous!" Old Madam Qin was furious, "This is not the crown princess, so she put up a shelf, and she will become the crown princess in the future, so you still have it?" Do you still see the Prime Minister's Mansion in your eyes? ”
I didn't take the Prime Minister in my eyes.
Qin Wan muttered in her heart.
"Qin Mingyue, what do you mean?" Qin Ruizhuo quit, just a concubine, and he dared to provoke his concubine!
"I'm still here, what are you doing yelling?" Mrs. Qin struck the crutch twice with a hard pestle.
"Grandmother......" Qin Mingqing hurriedly helped Mrs. Qin to calm down.
Qin Wan glanced at Qin Mingyue, "Yes, the eldest sister has always understood the rules, and she is most favored by her father, but for so long, I haven't seen the eldest sister take the initiative to say hello to her mother-in-law. ”
After the words fell, Qin Wan slipped off the chair and stood beside Qin Ruizhuo, the two took the lead, and everyone kowtowed to Mrs. Qin in a regular manner.
When it was over, she ran to Mrs. Qin with her little short legs, and said coquettishly: "Jiaojiao often heard her father say that although her grandmother was not born in a big family, her style and temperament are not comparable to many ancestors of Shengjing...... So ......"
Qin Wan looked cramped, rubbing the corners of her clothes pitifully.
Bai Zhishui and Qin Ruizhuo He had seen Qin Wan like this, and they were both distressed and angry.
Qin Wan glanced at Qin Rui, who understood, and hurriedly tugged Bai Zhishui's sleeve.
His mother's temper is more direct than Qin Wan, and he really wants to face up to Mrs. Qin, Qin Wan has no good fruit to eat.
Mrs. Qin was very satisfied with Qin Wan's answer.
Qin Wan was afraid, so he hesitated.
can make Qin Wan afraid, which means that she can deter Qin Wan.
That's enough.
After all, the Prime Minister's surname is "Qin" and not "Bai", Qin Wan can know this, and Mrs. Qin is very satisfied.
Qin Mingyue's eyes rolled and glanced towards Qin Mingrou.
Qin Mingrou echoed with a smile: "The sixth sister was both happy and nervous when she learned that her grandmother was coming back, and she and her eldest brother also bought a gift for her grandmother, which seemed to be a blue and white porcelain antique vase. Rou'er and eldest sister have seen each other, and it is very beautiful. The sixth sister and the eldest brother have always had the best vision among us, but ......"
"Just what?" The focus of Old Madam Qin's obedience has never been the same as that of normal people.
Qin Mingrou glanced at Qin Wan timidly, "Sixth sister, third sister can't protect you." ”
As soon as the guilty words fell, Qin Mingrou restrained the look on her face, "It's just that the sixth sister was worried that her mother wouldn't give her money, so she found her aunt." ”
Qin Wan squinted at Qin Mingrou, "Third sister, Jiaojiao knows that you are good friends with the eldest sister, and you obviously love Jiaojiao, but she is dissatisfied with the identity of the concubine, and always thinks about Fang Zi to slander Jiaojiao." There is a difference between the concubines, it has been this rule since ancient times, and besides, my mother has never been sorry for you. Daddy is now a very popular minister, how many pairs of eyes are watching every move, if the prime minister doesn't even have the minimum rules, how can Daddy gain a foothold in the court? ”
Old Madam Qin frowned slightly.
Qin Wan said again: "The former Jiaojiao and the eldest brother went to Zhengfu Street and bought a pair of calligraphy and paintings for their father, and the silver was given to Aunt Ji, for this reason, Jiaojiao was also very strange. For this reason, after Jiaojiao and her eldest brother came back, they went to her mother's yard as soon as possible, and reported the matter, and her mother also asked Mama Xia to withdraw silver from the treasury. As for how Aunt Ji would let people send silver to the 'Treasure Pavilion'......"
Qin Wan pouted, it wasn't that the Ji family was full of food, and there was nowhere to spend the silver.
"You talk nonsense!" Qin Mingrou changed her previous snort and said strongly, "My eldest sister and I obviously saw it in your room, if you don't believe it, ask the eldest sister." ”
Qin Mingyue glared at Qin Mingrou with hatred.
Worse than useless!
She originally wanted Qin Wan and Qin Ruizhuo to leave an impression of unfilial piety and cunning in front of her grandmother. If she provokes her grandmother's anger, maybe, her mother will have a chance to become a flat wife!
She will be a righteous concubine at that time, according to Bai Zhishui's temperament, she will definitely not be able to tolerate it, as long as she and her mother operate well, Bai Zhishui, who is separated from her father, will go to court sooner or later.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Mingyue said, "This ...... The granddaughter did see a blue and white porcelain vase in the sixth sister's house, but I don't know if the sixth sister bought it for her grandmother. The third sister guessed this way, and it was also because the sixth sister bought things for her mother and father, so she ......"
Regardless of whether the vase is for Mrs. Qin or not, now, if Qin Wan doesn't take it, it is unfilial!
If she guessed correctly, the vase should be Qin Wan's birthday gift to Mrs. Qin, and now that she has taken it out, she is afraid that she will not have time or silver to find anything else, and when the time comes, Qin Wan will be as unfilial!
Qin Wan sighed deliberately, "The blue and white porcelain antique vase is to be given to the emperor's uncle, the performance assessment of my father a year ago, Jiaojiao thought that I couldn't help my eldest brother, and my father's ability is there, whether it is official affairs in the court, or private reputation among the people, which year is Daddy not the best among all officials?" But because of this, you can't forget about the world, and the mother also mentioned Jiaojiao and the eldest brother before, so Jiaojiao thought that during the plum blossom banquet, she gave the vase to the emperor's uncle. Daddy is not good at giving gifts, but petite and petite, and outsiders can't find fault with Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is dedicated to her father, is this also wrong? ”
Old Madam Qin's eyes flashed, she always knew that the old emperor treated Qin Wan well, and now when she heard Qin Wan's name for the old emperor, she was even more convinced of the rumors outside that the old emperor really treated Qin Wan as a daughter, no, it hurt more than her daughter!
Qin Wan is right, although the performance appraisal is a matter of the ministry, but the final result is that the old emperor has the final say, the so-called imperial grace, can not wait unilaterally, since the old emperor likes Qin Wan, through her hand to please the old emperor, not only won the old emperor's joy, but also made people unable to catch the pigtails.
Old Madam Qin carefully calculated in her heart, although her face was not obvious, she was still very satisfied with Qin Wan in her heart.
Qin Wan said again: "But the eldest sister and the third sister are not wrong, Jiaojiao does have something to give to her grandmother." ”
"Oh, what is it?" When she spoke again, there was a smile on Old Madam Qin's face.
Qin Wan glanced at Mama Gong, who hurriedly exited the flower hall, and after a while, came in with a food box.
Qin Wan tugged at the corner of Mrs. Qin's skirt, tilted her head and said, "Grandmother, early this morning, my mother took Jiaojiao and her eldest brother to the kitchen to cook your favorite glutinous rice porridge for grandmother, which contains jujubes, lilies, and ......."
She counted on her fingers for a long time, and finally looked at Qin Ruizhuo for help.
Qin Rui blanched Zhengse, and said with a glance: "There are also codonopsis, wolfberries, etc., which can not only drive away the cold, but also maintain health." ”
"I have a heart." The smile on Mrs. Qin's face was even worse, and she took the bowl from Mama's hand and tasted it.
"Grandmother, it's sweet, isn't it? Jiaojiao put rock candy, oh, this is a crab roe bun, grandmother, you can taste it. "Qin Wan spares no effort to sell cuteness.
Mrs. Qin nodded with a shelf, and when she saw her eyes swept over, Mama hurriedly sandwiched a crab roe bag in the plate.
After tasting a few bites, he said: "You all go down, I don't need you to settle the province in the morning and dusk here, it's the end of the year, what should you be busy with." ”
Everyone was relieved and withdrew from the flower hall in unison.
On the way, Bai Zhishui frowned, if it wasn't for Qin Wan, she would have said hello a long time ago, asking her not to talk no matter what she saw today, when she was in the flower hall before, she directly locked up Qin Mingyue and Qin Mingrou.
