In fact, when Qin Yan asked, she already knew who this sister-in-law who came to see her was, but she was still a little unable to get off the stage after losing face in front of Jiao's mother.

After Xiaocai finished speaking, Qin Yan nodded and said softly to Jiao's mother: "Then I'll have to worry about Jiao's mother." ”

Mother Jiao saw that she was polite, but she didn't move, so she urged: "The old lady still asks to change her clothes, the old slave needs to change it?" ”

As soon as Qin Yan saw it, she knew that this dress was not made for herself, but she was afraid that it was the new clothes of the wife or girl in which room.

I don't know if it's to give the face of the young grandmother of the Qin family, or the face of the Xie family, in short, this dress is quite exquisite.

The jewelry next to it also matches the color of the dress, and it looks like a new style that is trending this year.

Qin Yan didn't want to embarrass the eldest lady and Jiao's mother, so she got up and picked up the jewelry herself, and motioned for Xiaocai to bring her dress and enter the inner room with her.

There is no charcoal stove in the back house, so it is very cold, and this yard is not a good place, not to mention remote, and no one takes care of it.

There are many trees on the left and right, and there is a small pond behind it, which is a backwater pool without any scenery; Therefore, there are a lot of mosquitoes here in summer, cicadas chirp during the day, and frogs at night, which makes Qin Yan and Xiaocai miserable.

Jiao's mother was sitting outside drinking tea and roasting the fire, and she had no idea of waiting for the old lady to change her clothes.

She glanced at the charcoal stove with heavy smoke, pursed her mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "Just this charcoal, the old lady doesn't like to use it, snort, and the old lady, the original old lady of our Xie family, which one of them doesn't have some background background, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was her daughter from the outer room who occupied the position of the old lady." ”

As the nurse of the eldest lady, Jiao's mother has a high status, and her age is naturally not young, whether it is the identity of the Xie family's housekeeper, or her age and seniority, she can speak something in this family, and she came to give the old lady clothes and jewelry in person today, or to show the eldest lady's respect for the old lady.

In fact, the eldest lady also wanted to coax Qin Yan and make her happier when she saw her mother's family, so as not to embarrass everyone.

After all, the young grandmother of the Qin family came, said a few words, and ate a meal at most, and once the matter passed, everyone still returned to their old ways.

Jiao's mother was still thinking: When the young grandmother of the Qin family is gone, how to take back the jewelry from Qin Yan's hands? This family, her old man has too many things to worry about, what can she do without her?

Thinking of this, Jiao's mother proudly took another sip of tea, and suddenly felt that this tea was really unpalatable, so she put down the tea that she had only drunk half of it and stopped touching it.

By the time Liu came to the door with a huge amount of gifts, it was already noon.

The eldest lady has made enough face today, and let Qin Yan sit in the top position, which has always been the position of the previous old ladies.

It's a pity that Qin Yan is sitting for the first time.

When Liu came in, he looked at the woman in the middle, the sister-in-law she had never met.

Qin Yan was very thin, her eyes were big and watery, I don't know if she had ever cried, and she looked a little like a poor puppy.

I don't know why, the Liu family has such thoughts, and suddenly has some sympathy for this woman in his heart.

The Liu family came once a few days after Qin Yan's marriage, but he was given a cold reception and never saw Qin Yan.

According to the descendants of the Xie family, Qin Yan was reluctant to see the Liu family.

Liu is also a high-minded and arrogant person, and he has never been to the door since he left.

Pull down your face and come to the door again today, in fact, in addition to Qin Xun mentioning Qin Yan that day, there is also Qin Yaozu this year.

Qin Yaozu wants to be released as an official for a few years, and after some training, he will be transferred back to the capital by the Liu family, and he will be promoted at least one level at that time.

But some people mentioned that Qin Yaozu's family affairs are complicated, and he can't even handle family affairs well, how can he have the ability to go to either parent's official outside? Ruler of the people of a city?

As a result, the matter of external release was put on hold.

This is the reason why Qin Yaozu wants to go around with Qin Yan, and it is also the reason why the Liu family wants to visit Qin Yan today.

After greeting the eldest wife, second wife, and eldest grandmother of the Xie family, Liu directly proposed to go to Qin Yan's courtyard and talk to her alone.

The eldest lady didn't expect the Liu family to have such a proposal, so she didn't clean up Qin Yan's yard, and now that she is gone, she is afraid that she will lose the face of the Xie family.

The young grandmother saw her mother-in-law's embarrassment, and hurriedly said that the flower hall burned the earth dragon, or just talk in the flower hall, go to the old lady's house, and walk for a while, it was too cold outside, it snowed yesterday, and the snow on the ground has not been swept away.

The Liu family is just here to go through the motions, so that people can see that their husband and wife also care about their younger brothers and sisters, not as unharmonious and unfriendly as the outside world says.

Hearing this, he looked at Qin Yan, who smiled and said, "Just sit here, and you don't need to go outside." ”

"It's okay, I'm afraid of the cold, let's talk here." Liu Shi took Qin Yan's hand and spoke.

It's just that Qin Yan didn't talk much, just nodded from time to time.

The Liu family looked at her so soft and weak, and they were a little anxious for her, how could such a temperament survive in this Xie family?

Li Siniang, who was standing behind Liu's, looked at Qin Yan carefully, and saw that although the dress on her body was bright, it obviously didn't fit, and the dress was too big, which made Qin Yan even more pitiful.

When she was in the Li family, Li Siniang saw a lot, and there was a huge difference between the treatment of being favored and not being favored. Just think about Qin Yan's identity, coupled with such a character, I'm afraid that life will not be easy.

glanced at the eldest wife, second wife, eldest and youngest grandmother of the Xie family who were sitting in the room and did not leave, as well as many maids and wives standing around, looking like they respected the old lady, in fact, everyone could see that they were afraid that Qin Yan would talk nonsense.

A woman from a large family, even if she fights to the death in private, is affectionate and polite on the surface, and her reputation is very important to all families and everyone.

She heard Qinggu say that people in the countryside will quarrel when they are unhappy, and it is common for them to fight, but they will be reconciled soon.

Li Siniang came with a mission, but until the banquet was over, she didn't find the slightest opportunity to talk to Qin Yan.

Because Li Siniang is Qin Xun's person, she also said that half of today's gifts are New Year's gifts from Qin Xun.

Therefore, after lunch, the return gift was also ready, and Li Siniang could only leave the Xie family with the return gift.

After going back, he told Qin Xun everything he saw.

Qin Xun asked Li Siniang: "How is her face?" ”

"The slave thinks it's not very good!" Li Siniang shook her head and said, "The slave maid found out that the old lady of the Xie family actually had only one maid, and this maid named Xiaocai didn't care about serving the old lady at all, but kept being courteous to Grandma Qin. ”

Qin Xun blinked: "Xiaocai? Or did she come to the Xie family with Qin Yan? ”

Li Siniang nodded, but felt that this was a little weird.

"Does Mrs. recognize this little color?" Li Siniang asked.

"I don't just know her!" Qin Xun retracted the coldness around him and said to Li Siniang: "You go out first, and in two days, I will personally go to the door to see Qin Yan." ”
