Qining saw Mrs. Tian's face was like a peach blossom, her cheeks were flushed, and she said with a smile: "Ma'am, do you really want me to tell you?"
Mrs. Tian raised her head, nodded slightly, and said: "If Mr. Hou thinks there is anything bad about me, just say it, I... I will be able to change it in the future."
Qi Ning sighed softly: "If I really say it, madam, please don't blame me for speaking too bluntly."
"Of course not." Mrs. Tian said immediately: "Say whatever the Marquis has to say."
Qi Ning lowered his voice slightly and said: "Needless to say, Madam's appearance, at Madam's age, it is already extremely rare to have such an appearance. Moreover, when I first saw Madam, I was very surprised. I still thought about it. There is such a beautiful woman in the capital."
Mrs. Tian's cheeks became even hotter, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Master Hou, I...I didn't ask you to say this, I mean...I mean, how am I like?"
"Don't worry, since Madam asked me to speak frankly, I will say whatever I want." Qining glanced at Madam Tian's plump and soft body, and said softly: "Speaking of figure, Madam is even more...!" He hadn't said anything yet. After that, Mrs. Tian had already stopped and said: "Master Hou, don't talk about these... these, I...!" She seemed a little uneasy, twisting her body slightly, with one arm across her chest.
Qi Ning laughed, and then said: "Let's put it this way, Madam is smart and capable, handles things well, and can do so well in the business field, and she is still a woman, it is really not easy." Her expression became solemn: "You After her husband was killed, the wife was able to withstand the pressure and turn grief into strength. Not only was she able to pay off all the Tian family's debts, but she was also able to make the Tian family medicine store prosperous again. This required not only an extraordinary mind, but also a tenacious will. , To be honest, I still admire Madam very much in my heart."
Mrs. Tian looked up at Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning's solemn expression. She didn't want these words to be lies. She was so happy that she couldn't help but smile every day and said: "Master Hou, thank you. Actually... I'm not that good either. I'm just ... I just saw that those people who were good friends with our Tian family in the past made trouble for us when we were in trouble, and I felt uncomfortable, so...!"
"This is motivation." Qining smiled and said: "It's easy to say, but not everyone can get back on their feet."
Mrs. Tian was very happy to be praised by Qin Ning. She secretly thought that since the young prince evaluated her in this way, it seemed that it was not just because he thought she was beautiful. Appreciating it, she felt happy and asked with a smile: "Then what's wrong with me?"
When Mrs. Tian first entered the room, she was indeed a little nervous, but Qining spoke in an easy-going manner and teased her from time to time. Mrs. Tian got used to it and was no longer cautious.
Qi Ning thought that if he really wanted to talk about Mrs. Tian's shortcomings, it would be nothing more than petty temperament, but he also knew the reason why Mrs. Tian was stingy, not to mention talking about her shortcomings in front of a woman. Even if the other party sincerely asked for advice, if she told the truth, then It is undoubtedly the stupidest thing in the world. Women can ask, but men cannot say.
He deliberately pondered for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Madam, at least I haven't found any shortcomings in you now. Maybe it's because we don't get along too much. In the future, if we spend more time together, maybe we will notice it."
When Mrs. Tian heard this, she was even more elated. The young Marquis said that they would live together in the future, so at least he had no intention of leaving the Tian family alone. Her pretty face was full of joy. She saw some beads of sweat on Qining's forehead and said hurriedly: "Hou Isn't it hot? I'm sweating."
It was already July, and the weather was getting a little bit hotter. There was no ice in the room, so it was really sultry. Qining raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter." He glanced outside the door. Said: "I'm afraid it's going to be very stuffy in Miss Tang's house, so I'll have to put down the ice cubes later. But this is already under construction, and the weather will only get hotter and hotter."
Mrs. Tian saw Qin Ning wiping sweat casually and wanted to please Qin Ning. She stood up, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over. Halfway through, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, but since she had already given it away, there was no way to take it back. She reluctantly He smiled and said: "If Mr. Hou doesn't mind it, take it first... take it and wipe the sweat."
Qining didn't hesitate, took it, wiped his forehead, and wiped his nose, but he felt that there was a strong fragrance coming from the handkerchief, which was very similar to the body fragrance of Mrs. Tian. Knowing that this handkerchief Tian Putting it next to Madam, it would inevitably be stained by the smell of Madam Tian, but the smell was very good. Qining couldn't help but take a deep breath. Madam Tian could see clearly, and her face felt hot again.
Qining unfolded the handkerchief and saw that it was embroidered with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water. He was startled for a moment, and then he understood something, but did not return the handkerchief. He said softly: "Madam, this handkerchief wipes the sweat from me. If it gets dirty, I’ll clean it later and return it to you.”
Mrs. Tian said hurriedly: "No, no, Lord Marquis, I... I can just go back and wash myself." She reached out to take it, but Qi Ning put it in her arms. Mrs. Tian was startled and bit her lip, charming , but had no choice but to secretly regret in my heart.
She was also happy just now. When she saw Qin Ning wiping his sweat, she reflexively took out a handkerchief. She was already a little regretful. When she saw Qin Ning put the handkerchief away, she felt even more regretful, but she felt a little weird in her heart.
Men and women are not close to each other. It has always been a common practice for a girl to give her personal belongings to a man, which can almost be said to be a token of love. Mrs. Tian is already a woman. Although she does not have the same taboo as a girl, she still I always feel a little ambiguous when my personal handkerchief is put away by a man.
What made her most embarrassed was the embroidery on the handkerchief, which was embroidered with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water. She was a widow, and having such things embroidered on the handkerchief would inevitably make people feel a little frivolous.
Qi Ning already smiled and said: "Ma'am, you don't have to work too hard. Although you have outstanding abilities, you are still a woman after all, so you don't have to work too hard."
When Mrs. Tian's handkerchief was taken over, she felt a little uneasy and said with a forced smile: "Thank you for your care, Lord Marquis. Actually, if you say busy, it's not... very busy."
"Then what does Madam do in her free time?" Qining asked softly: "Did Madam embroider the embroidery on the handkerchief herself?"
Mrs. Tian's heart skipped a beat, and she was a little annoyed. She thought to herself that you really didn't like to pick up any of the pots, but she couldn't show Qining's face, so she could only say: "I took this from home, and I still have it." I don’t know what’s embroidered on it.” I was afraid that Qi Ning would struggle with this issue, and then said: “I usually just play the piano to pass the time.”
"Play the piano?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "Madam, can you play the piano?"
The corners of Mrs. Tian's lips curved, charmingly, and she said proudly: "I can't say that I know it, but I have liked it since I was a child, so I have been learning for many years. When I was not out of the court, I liked to play the piano, and now I have a lot of skills. It’s getting old, but it makes the Marquis laugh.”
"Ma'am, is she self-taught?"
"That's not true." Mrs. Tian said: "When I was a child, my family was relatively well-off. The clan hired a gentleman to teach clan studies. The boys could go to school, but the daughter's family could only stay in the boudoir. But the gentleman could also play the piano. He has been living in our house, and he saw that I like to tune the piano, so when he had nothing to do, he would teach me himself."
Qi Ning suddenly thought at this time, wouldn't he really need someone who is good at tuning the Ksitigarbha music score in his hand? Mrs. Jian Tian was quite confident and thought, could this woman be really good at playing the piano
Although Mrs. Tian is a bit stingy, she is not a talkative woman. She usually does things very measuredly. It would be a good choice if she secretly asked Mrs. Tian to help find the strange things in the music score, but Qi Ning was concerned about this matter. He was very cautious and was not in a hurry to say it. He just smiled and said: "I really didn't know that Madam was good at tuning the piano. To tell you the truth, I don't have many other hobbies, but when I have nothing to do, I also like to listen to someone play a piece of music. "
Mrs. Tian immediately said: "There must be many people in the Marquis' mansion who are good at singing and playing the piano. Rough people like us can't compare with them."
"Who said Madam is a rough person?" Qining looked at Madam Tian's pink and tender hands. At this time, he discovered that although Madam Tian was over thirty years old, her hands were pink and tender, and her fingers were like green onions. Normally, slender yet plump, white and tender, he said with a smile: "Madam, these hands are perfect for playing the piano. If Madam is willing, I can ask Madam to give me a lesson some other time."
Mrs. Tian didn't have many specialties besides doing business, but playing the piano was her most proud skill. When she heard that Qining wanted to hear her play the piano, she was naturally happy. She smiled happily and said: "I'm afraid that the Marquis will dislike it. If the Marquis If I really want to hear it, I’ll show off my shame another day.”
At this time, the sky had already turned completely dark, and Tang Nuowu didn't come out. Qining thought about explaining the marriage to Gu Qinghan, so he stood up and said, "Miss Tang should be out soon. Madam, if you are hungry, , just eat first, and wait until Miss Tang comes out and then let someone prepare the meal. I have some things to deal with, so I won’t stay here with you."
Mrs. Tian stood up hurriedly and said: "The Marquis has many things to do every day and is busy with official duties. It was me who delayed the Marquis."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "That's not true. Talking alone with my wife makes me feel relaxed. It would be great if I could do this often."
What he said was already very ambiguous. Although there was a certain age difference between the two, after all, men and women were not close to each other. It was always a bit inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together. Mrs. Tian didn't say much, so she just smiled and said, Qi Ning walked out of the door, followed by Mrs. Tian. When she saw Qi Ning walking away, she covered her face with her hands. She felt her face was still very hot. She bit her red lips and couldn't help but whisper. He said: "A child, what is there to worry about...!" He said this, but when he thought of Qi Ning's provocative words just now, his heart beat violently.
