After more than an hour, Han Li followed Qin Yan out of the secret room, and returned to the image of a bumpkin.
And the Patriarch of the Qin Family, who returned to the living room, immediately ordered in front of the Third Madam to have someone tidy up a clean residence in the back house, and let this Nephew Han live in the Qin Residence.
On the surface, the reason is grandiose, he, Mr. Qin, wants to cultivate this junior well, in order to repay the great kindness that his predecessors showed him back then.
Seeing this, the third lady opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything against it!
The scheming she heard very wisely that Qin Yan had already made a decision, and no one else could refute it. And based on her feeling, there must be something tricky between this nephew Han and her husband.
But since Qin Yan didn't tell her the details, she naturally wouldn't do anything that would make people hate her out of favor.
However, she had some wild guesses that her husband was so solemn to this nephew Han, could it be that he was an illegitimate child left behind by being promiscuous outside when he was young. Otherwise, how could I be so pale when I read the letter, and then be so enthusiastic afterward.
The third lady, who was too quick-minded, felt a little like this the more she thought about it, and she felt a little unhappy. But there was still a nonchalant expression on his face, and he became more and more kind to Han Li.
In this way, under Master Qin's repeated instructions, Han Li followed Qin Ping out of the hall again, and asked him to see if he was satisfied with the residence.
This time Qin Ping's face was no longer the rigid expression when he came here, but a smile all over his face, and he kept calling him "Master Han" one after another! He completely forgot about the matter of being very indifferent to Han Li before.
Although Han Li had a flattered expression on his face, he secretly sighed in his heart that these mortals, who are servants, are really superb at watching the wind and steering the rudder. With such a pretentious and condescending attitude, she didn't show any embarrassment at all. It seems to have gotten used to this way of life.
Afterwards, Qin Ping took Han Li, turned a few times along the path of the back house, and arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.
The environment here is elegant and exquisite, and it is so quiet that Han Li nodded secretly after seeing it. I feel very agreeable.
It seems that Qin Yan took great pains to choose a good place for him.
"Master Han, this is your residence! This is the best courtyard in the Qin Mansion. Usually, if it is not a distinguished guest who is valued by the master, no one will let people live in it!" Qin Ping led Han Li into the courtyard. , explained to Han Li with some fawning.
Han Li scratched his head and grinned foolishly, as if he didn't know what to say.
Qin Ping tactfully skipped this point, and changed the subject again: "Young Master Han, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right? I'm going to ask the kitchen to bring you food right now, please wait a moment!"
Finish this sentence. Qin Ping backed out of the yard respectfully, then turned and left.
Seeing that this person was gradually going away, Han Li smiled faintly, turned around and pushed open the door.
The layout of these rooms is also worthy of its surrounding environment, which is equally unique and elegant.
After turning around, Han Li became more and more satisfied. Can't help but guess who arranged it here.
Then Qin Ping was really quick! Not long after, a servant woman came to deliver the meal with a huge bamboo box.
It smells like rice. Han Li, who has been bigu for several years, is really greedy. Unceremoniously, he swept away all the delicate side dishes and a bowl of rice.
And Qin Ping, who finally came to see the leftovers, was naturally a little funny. But on the surface, he still asked Han Li to go to the hall again with a respectful expression. Because the master of the Qin family wanted to introduce someone from the Qin residence to Han Li.
…
When Han Li walked into the living room for the second time. This place is no longer just Qin Yan and the third wife, but there are twenty or thirty men and women standing and sitting.
When Qin Yan kindly invited Han Li to sit beside him, the older people in the hall were a little stunned, but didn't react too aggressively. But those younger misses and young masters of the Qin family couldn't hold their breath anymore. Immediately, a favored young master stood up and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Grandpa, who is this brother? How come our brothers and sisters have never met before? Could it be that we were summoned for this person?"
Qin Yan naturally heard the little grandson's displeasure, but he didn't give him a good face at all, but after glaring at him, his face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Back off, do you have a place to speak here? What about this person, that person! This is Han Li-Nephew Han, whose ancestors have done us a life-and-death kindness to the Qin family, so don't be rude to him!"
Qin Yan's words immediately caused commotion in the living room except for the third lady.
Various speculations and curious eyes were cast on Han Li at the same time. And Han Li also showed an uneasy expression just right, twisting back and forth a few times as if there was a nail under his buttocks.
As for the young master of the Qin family, his face was alternately red and white, and he retreated speechlessly.
This person never expected that Qin Yan, who usually dotes on him very much, would speak so ruthlessly today. Let him face so many brothers and sisters, but a big embarrassment!
After this incident, this son-in-law will naturally not have a good impression of Han Li! Of course, he wouldn't be naive, and would do anything unkind to Han Li after Qin Yan gave orders.
After all, it seems that this country bumpkin occupies a very important position in his grandfather's heart, and he does not want to lose Qin Yan's favor because of this.
With the role model of this early bird here, other people will naturally not take any hostile actions. Instead, most of them will exchange a look with Han Li and show a kind look.
Only then did Qin Yan smile, pointing at the people in the room and introducing to Han Li: "This is my eldest son, Qin Zhi, who is now helping me manage all the business in Yuejing, and his mind is pretty good. That's me. Second son..."
Han Li made a gesture of nodding indiscriminately, and at the same time, he secretly remembered every member of the Qin family introduced by Qin Yan. These are the people he wants to protect!
However, this old man Qin is really able to bear children. He has five sons, three daughters, and several grandchildren.
Among them, the eldest son and the second son are both in their thirties, and they both have children. The person who asked in the early days just now is the second son of the boss.
But what's funny is that Qin Yan's youngest five sons are only five or six years old, and they are actually a kid who can only suck fingers.
As soon as Han Li thought that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth was going to call the crying child "fifth uncle", he felt funny in his heart.
As for Qin Yan's wife, besides the third wife whom he met in the morning, there is also a second wife in her forties, and seven or eight other younger concubines.
But Qin Yan's wife, his wife, was not in the hall. Hearing that she was eating fast and reciting Buddha's name, she would not come out to meet people easily.
In addition, there are two men in their forties who are Qin Yan's second and third younger brothers.
They each manage a part of the Qin family's business, and they can be regarded as the more important people in the Qin family. Of course, they also have a few children in this hall, but Han Li only jotted down the names of these people, and didn't bother to pay attention to them.
After all, he has limited energy alone, so he can only focus on protecting Qin Yan, the member of the long family.
"Hey! Where's Miss Cousin?"
After Qin Yan introduced all the people in the living room, he suddenly found that one person was missing, so he couldn't help asking the third lady beside him.
"Master, Miss Biao felt that she, a widow, is not suitable for meeting outsiders, so she didn't come! Do you want to call her over again?" The third lady said in a low voice when she heard this, with a look of hesitation on her face.
"It doesn't matter, nephew Han Xian is not an outsider, let's meet up!" Qin Yan said after hearing "Oh", thought for a while.
"Got it, sir!"
"Xiao Lian, hurry up and call Miss Biao here, and say that the master invited her here!"
The third lady gave orders to the little girl standing behind her.
"Yes, ma'am." The little maid who had once guided Han Li, immediately ran out through the side door with small steps.
It was only then that Qin Yan turned around and explained to Han Li in a low voice: "There is another person who didn't come. It is a young woman who was rescued from the river by my original wife seven or eight years ago on the way to visit her relatives."
"This woman is extremely pitiful. Not only did she lose her memory due to bumping her head, but she is also covered in scars. My wife is kind-hearted. After healing her and seeing that she was homeless, she asked a brother from her natal family to adopt her as a righteous daughter. Give her a place to live!"
"However, this woman is really unfortunate. Although she got married with her adoptive father, her fiancé-in-law fell into the river because of drunkenness after just three days. It stands to reason that this girl can choose someone to remarry at a young age. But this woman is so virtuous that she is willing to never get married and become a widow for her husband and son-in-law who have just lived together for three days. This is a good story in the local area, but it will give my wife and her family a lot of face!"
"Later, his adoptive father passed away due to illness. My wife felt sorry for her alone guarding the vacant room, so she took him here to be her companion, so as to relieve this girl by the way!" Qin Yan sighed as he spoke. Endless!
