Qin Shao said before leaving: "Be careful of our mother-in-law, she is much more ruthless than her father." ”

Qin Xun replied lightly: "The father is bad, and the woman is poisonous, it's all about the same." There is another thing you need to understand, I did not join the Qin family, so she is not my mother-in-law. ”

"If you don't enter the door of the Qin family, then what are you doing in Dancheng?" Qin Shaoruo asked inadvertently.

"I'm timid and afraid, I don't dare to disobey orders, my father asked me to come, I came, as for what I can do here, hehe, who knows?"

Qin Shao looked at Qin Xun meaninglessly, her eyes were very complicated, and then there was some clarity in her eyes, she bowed slightly towards Qin Xun, and smiled: "I came to see you today, it's not nothing, thank you!" ”

"What are you thanking me for? Thank you for my delicious tea? Qin Xun didn't answer, only vaguely.

Qin Shao didn't plan to stay any longer: "Although it is difficult for me to enter the Qin family, you may not be easier than me, if you encounter something outside, no one will help you, you take care, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, she got up and left, and in the courtyard outside, she saw Su Shi from a distance, Qin Shao's footsteps paused slightly, and asked who the little maid who sent her out was?

The little maid said, "It's our old lady." ”

"Old lady?" Qin Shao repeated, a little puzzled.

The little maid was only eleven or twelve years old, very innocent, and explained with a smile: "Our wife's mother, we all call the old lady, although she looks very young." ”

Su Shi did look very young, and he was also very beautiful, probably because it was very simple, and he didn't even have worldly fireworks on his body, so Qin Shao couldn't help but stop and ask curiously.

After getting into the carriage, Qin Shao closed his eyes and recuperated, but his mind was full of ups and downs.

Since she was a child, her mother told her that she must go back to the Qin family in order to be an upright Miss of the Qin family, and her younger brother can be a young master of the Qin family, and her mother can only have a place to live after she enters the Qin family and dies.

Therefore, although he knew that he was going to marry the old man, he still had a trace of luck, after all, his wish since childhood was fulfilled.

It's just that her life is getting more and more difficult, and the old lady invited by her wife tortures her every day, and teaches her the rules in a beautiful name.

My mother has to serve my wife every day, and I can't wear the bright clothes I used to love, and I can't wear the bright flowers anymore, and now I'm getting haggard day by day; The younger brother was also sent to live in the outer courtyard, Qin Shao and his mother couldn't see each other at all, and they didn't know what was going on now?

But why can Qin Xun's mother and daughter live so chic and wanton?

Thinking about it carefully, when Qin Shao and the three of them did not enter the Qin family, they were quite free.

When they arrived at Qin's house, the carriage stopped at the corner gate on the west side, and the maid woke up Qin Shao, who had closed her eyes, and Qin Shao opened her eyes, and her eyes were clear.

Qin Shao stood in front of the corner gate, looking up at the eaves of the Qin family, and suddenly felt an urge to escape.

But she knew that she couldn't escape, so she could only step over the threshold and go to see Mrs. Qin Si first.

Mrs. Qin Si was looking at the newly made skirt for Qin Yao in the embroidery workshop in the house, Qin Yao was eating pastries bored with her chin on the side, she was not interested in everything now.

"Look, how about this pomegranate dress?" Mrs. Qin Si saw that her daughter had something on her mind, so she picked up a pomegranate skirt embroidered with peonies and twig patterns on the hem, wanting to make her daughter happy.

But Qin Yao just glanced at it casually, nodded and said yes, and then there was no follow-up, only making Mrs. Qin Si angry enough, but she was patient enough with this precious daughter and would not reprimand her at all.

He put the skirt back and waved his hand to let the next person go out first.

Only then did he look at Qin Yao and said, "The Lu family's flower viewing banquet handed you a post, are you going?" ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Qin Si stared at Qin Yao's eyes, only to see that her casual eyes suddenly lit up, and Mrs. Qin Si's heart sank.

Qin Yao raised her beautiful eyes, tried her best to hold back her joy, and asked, "Why did the Lu family suddenly hold a flower appreciation banquet?" But what's the point? ”

"Naturally, it's for the unsuccessful son of her family, who is in his twenties, and he doesn't say anything, and he hasn't even decided on family matters, which makes people laugh when he talks about it. This Mrs. Lu is also a confused person, and she just lets her son be ridiculous, she doesn't know what to do. ”

Mrs. Qin Si was talking, but she kept observing her daughter's expression, and seeing that her eyes kept changing and flickering, she was even more sure of her daughter's thoughts.

I used to think that my daughter was just a little girly, but now it seems that I am afraid that the prodigal son has entered Yao'er's heart very deeply

In the past, it was better, since the Lu family began to say goodbye to Lu Jiu, Qin Yao began to think about tea and dinner, and it was only a little more than a month, and she had already lost a lot of weight, which made Mrs. Qin Si also upset.

"Your aunt came with a letter, saying that her husband's nephew is young and promising, and he is only twenty-two years old, and he is a master, because he is dedicated to studying for the imperial examination, and he has never married so far, I think this is a good match."

Qin Yao couldn't listen to it, so she replied a little impatiently: "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to go to the capital, it's so far away from home, if she is bullied, who else can stand up for her daughter?" ”

"With your aunt here, can she protect you? Besides, it will only take three days for us to take a boat to the capital, how far can it be? ”

Mrs. Qin Si is bent on letting her daughter marry into an official eunuch's family, although her brother-in-law is a six-grade official, and her sister also relies on Mrs. Qin Si's silver money to subsidize her, but she is still more powerful than Mrs. Qin Si.

One is a merchant woman, and the other is an official wife, even if Mrs. Qin Si brings a large number of expensive gifts back to her parents' house every time, Mrs. Qin Si has to feel inferior to her sister.

"Mother, if you ask me what I mean, then you don't want to. If you decide on your own initiative, your daughter will marry without complaint; The daughter's marriage, but the mother is in charge. ”

"You" Mrs. Qin Si had no use in front of her daughter, so she could only poke her daughter's forehead with her fingertips and sighed: "I am so diligent, it's not for the sake of the three of you sisters and your brother, living in this Qin family, do you think it's so easy?" ”

Qin Yao's eyes were slightly red, and she turned her head and whispered, "Mother, if you think it's good for your daughter to go to the capital, just listen to your mother." My daughter still has something to do, so I'll go back first. ”

After saying that, he got up and saluted, turned around and went out.

Mrs. Qin Si was so angry that she fell backwards, but she could only watch her daughter leave.

At this time, the maid came to report: "Madam, Miss Eleven is back, and she is asking to see Mrs. in the courtyard." ”

Mrs. Qin Si immediately restrained the anger on her face and said lightly, "Let her in!" ”

The maid bowed out, looked at Qin Shao with some sympathy, opened the curtain and invited Qin Shao in, Qin Shao and her misplaced when they stuffed a silver hairpin into the maid's hand, and whispered: "When I went out to see this hairpin today, I felt that it was suitable for my sister, so I bought it, hoping that my sister would not dislike it." ”

The maid stuffed the hairpin into the cuff very easily, and replied in a low voice: "Mrs. is not in a good mood, Miss Eleven should be careful." ”
