When night fell, Qin Xun and Xiao Chenyu were sitting at the Lu family's dinner table, opposite Master Lu and Mrs. Lu.

After hearing that Xiao Chenyu used to sell paintings for a living, Master Lu took Xiao Chenyu to see his collection of paintings and calligraphy after dinner.

Mrs. Lu took Qin Xun for a walk in the garden to eat.

After walking for a while, the two went back to sit down for tea and rest.

"Last time you were in a hurry, you forgot to talk about your old lady, and now you happen to be free, let's talk about her."

"Godmother, please speak." Qin Xun put down the teacup and looked at Mrs. Lu.

"Your old lady's maiden family is a declining farming family, but it's a pity that the people are withering and the family is declining." Mrs. Lu told the story of the old lady of the Qin family.

Mrs. Qin used to be a gentle girl, influenced by her father, and she was also a talented woman who read poetry and books, full of beautiful visions for the future.

Later, her father died, and Mrs. Qin married the old man of the Qin family as a continuation.

At that time, the old man Qin was already in his twenties, and the wife he married before only gave birth to two daughters, and the two concubines did not give birth to a son and a half daughter.

Speaking of which, Old Lady Qin was still chosen by the previous lady.

At that time, the old man Qin's wife was seriously ill, and he knew that time was short, for the future of the Qin family, and for the sake of his two daughters, he chose the old lady Qin who had just passed the filial piety period.

She dragged her sick body to find a matchmaker to come to the door to ask for marriage in person, and after her death, the Qin family married Mrs. Qin into the door with the specifications of a wife, and immediately gave her the head of the house.

Mrs. Qin was also angry, raising the two daughters in front of her as her own children, and she also gave birth to four sons one after another.

The husband and wife also had a lot of discussions, and they got the Qin family to the name of the four great families, which can be described as extremely beautiful.

It's a pity that this person's life is really uncertain.

Just when everyone envied the old lady Qin's blessings, the old man of the Qin family died of illness on the road when he went out to collect the accounts, but some people said that he had encountered robbers, and there were many rumors that would not be repeated one by one.

Before the funeral was over, the Qin family came to the door to get a piece of the pie, and the rest of the families also began to encroach on the Qin family's business, and no one would be soft-hearted.

Old Mrs. Qin stood up in filial piety clothes, and under great pressure and threats, she insisted on supporting the Qin family, and it was not until the old lady Qin grew up and became a parent that she could be regarded as having a helper.

Because she relied on her eldest son, Mrs. Qin took the eldest son with her every day and taught her carefully, thus ignoring the three younger sons, so that the four brothers had different hearts and temperaments when they grew up.

Especially the fourth child, perhaps it was Mrs. Qin's negligence in discipline and extra pampering, so that there is today's tragedy.

To talk about Qin Xiongfei's tragedy today, everyone is responsible, of course, the biggest responsibility is still their husband and wife, who are really self-inflicted.

"Old Mrs. Qin eats fasting and recites Buddha now, but when she was young, she was a ruthless character, it is said." Mrs. Lu looked around, approached Qin Xun's side, and whispered, "The lives in her hands can't be counted on ten fingers." ”

Qin Xun's brows jumped suddenly, and he immediately calmed down, but in his heart, he deepened the danger of the old lady.

"Godmother, don't worry, I'll be careful." She understood that Mrs. Lu said this in order to make her wary of the old lady of the Qin family, this person was not as charitable as he appeared, and it was best not to provoke the old lady to clean her up.

Xiao Chenyu came over to find Qin Xun to go back to Qin's house, and Mrs. Lu was a little reluctant to have someone to talk to, so she was a little reluctant and wanted to keep them at the Lu family, but Qin Xun thought that the Qin family still had important matters, so she refused Mrs. Lu's invitation.

When I arrived at Qin's house, it was already dark, there were big lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate of Qin's house, and the night watchman sat on the bench outside the door chatting, and when he saw Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xun getting down from the carriage, they hurriedly got up to greet them, and the other person went to call the people inside to open the door.

Qin Xun looked at the Qin family members who were so attentive, and he had an indescribable feeling.

When you really want something, you may not be able to reach it with all your efforts, but when you don't want it, you have to fly towards you.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he saw Qin Shao coming out.

She pointed to her room and said to Qin Xun and his wife, "Go in and sit?" ”

Qin Xun wanted to say that she was tired and wanted to rest, but as soon as she looked at Qin Shao, she knew that she meant something, so she looked at the wing room that Qin Shao was referring to, which was lit with lights, and there were two shadows projected on the window screen.

Qin Xun lowered his voice and asked, "Someone?" ”

Qin Shao nodded, as if he was a little jealous, but his face didn't look good, Qin Xun and Xiao Chenyu glanced at each other, didn't say much, and immediately walked towards Qin Shao's room.

In the wing room, Sun Donghai sat behind the low table in the room, lighting incense and cooking tea, but he didn't feel comfortable at all, and when he saw Qin Xun and the three of them coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stood up and walked aside.

The woman sitting opposite also stood up and turned to look at Qin Xun and the others.

Qin Xun saw this woman clearly, looking at the age should not be about thirteen or fourteen years old, her appearance is very beautiful, but a pair of big eyes are full of horror, looking like a frightened rabbit, which makes people can't help but feel distressed.

The girl was very nervous, and her hands clutched her skirt tightly, and she could see that she was trembling slightly even in the light.

"What is this?" Qin Xun saw that she was a little similar to Qin Xiongfei, and probably guessed the identity, but she didn't know who it was?

"Her name is Qin Rong." Qin Shao said.

Qin Xun thought it was funny, all the daughters born to Qin Xiongfei's outer room were cursive, coriander, peony, swallow, and rong.

"Sit down!" Qin Xun sat down, Xiao Chenyu and Sun Donghai sat by the window, and gave the short table to the three sisters of the Qin family.

Qin Coriander and Qin Shao sat opposite each other, and Qin Rong sat on Qin Coriander's left side, peeking at Qin Coriander with some restraint.

She had heard of Qin Coward, and the news of Qin Coriander had spread all over them, and everyone initially did not understand why she wanted to try to get her mother to leave her father, and would rather disobey her father's wishes to marry a poor scholar with no foundation, and even oppose her father and the Qin family.

However, later everyone understood, and even envied her courage and boldness.

Qin Rong is actually fifteen years old, and she will be in time for a year.

"I have the best relationship with Qin Yan, we sleep in the same bed." Qin Rong talked about the purpose of her coming here, but she started with Qin Yan.

"The two of us are about the same, she is more than three months older than me, but she takes very good care of me, she says that she is used to being an older sister, so she likes to take care of people."

Qin Rong's words were a little upside down, but no one bothered her.

Gradually, Qin Rong also quieted down a little.

That day, Qin Rong was still happily pulling Qin Yan to do embroidery work, but Qin Yan was absent-minded, embroidered the wrong flowers one after another, and stabbed her fingers several times, which made Qin Rong think she was sick.

She put down the embroidery and went to probe Qin Yan's forehead worriedly.

Qin Yan cried: "My wife wants me to marry and go to Kyoto, I don't want to go, Kyoto is so far away, I can't come back if I go." ”

Qin Rong was taken aback: "Sister Yan hasn't married yet, why is she going to get married?" ”

Her feeling at the time was that it was rare to have a sister who could talk to her to accompany her, and if her sister left, she should be bored.

The simple girl didn't know that it was not that she had never married far away.
