Qin Yining lowered her eyes, she had already guessed a bit of her thoughts from the old lady's address and the slightly soft tone of voice, when she bowed obediently, she took advantage of the situation: "Grandmother taught her that granddaughter is in a hurry for a while, and will not do it again in the future. It will be so."
If you only know how to be rough, then you will really become a "savage", and the most appropriate attitude is the combination of hardness and softness.
The old lady nodded in satisfaction, the expression on her face was obviously relieved. As an elder, what I disliked the most was that the younger generation confronted him face to face. Although Qin Yining acted a little rough, he was not bad at all. So like her eldest son, thinking about it will not be too bad.
It's Qin Huining...
The old lady who had read thousands of sails felt more and more headaches.
As soon as I thought about what rumors would spread outside tomorrow, I felt a panic in my heart, and said solemnly: "Today's matter, you all have to learn a lesson. As the young lady of the prime minister's residence, the sisters fight against each other. , what does it look like when it spreads out? You usually look like filial piety, but now you are so filial?"
Although the old lady said "you", Qin Huining's heart is like a mirror, how long has Qin Yining returned to the house? She was the one who stayed by the old lady's side for a long time.
The old lady is stabbing her!
Qin Huining was extremely frightened!
Her biggest support in staying in the mansion now is the old lady and the Sun family. Being able to continue to live the life of the girls in the palace, relying on their reluctance to give up. If she lost their love and trust, what else would she have
"Grandma calm down, granddaughter knows she's wrong." Qin Huining didn't dare to argue any more, for fear of making the old lady more annoying to her.
Today's grievance, she can only knock down her teeth and swallow blood.
When the old lady saw her admitting her mistake, she had a good attitude, thinking that she was the girl she taught, and her character would not be bad.
Thinking of this, she said solemnly: "Sister Yi, Sister Hui, the sisters are not on good terms, and they disregard filial piety, so I will punish you each to go back to your room and copy the "Book of Filial Piety" ten times, and turn it in three days later in the morning. Any objection?"
"Thank you grandmother for your kindness." Qin Huining hurriedly replied.
The old lady listened to her heart and thought to herself: Sister Hui is someone who knows what's wrong, and she knows that I am deliberately biased towards her.
You know, Qin Huining grew up in the prime minister's mansion and was taught by the ladies, so writing is not difficult for her at all. However, Qin Yining was born in the village and did not touch pen and paper all the year round. The 18 sections of the "Book of Filial Piety" were copied ten times in three days, for fear that she would be exhausted. !
In the final analysis, the old lady still cherishes Qin Huining, who is by her side, and is dissatisfied with Qin Yining's beating.
It's just that, as the head of the family, under Qin Huining's obvious mistakes, it's not easy to show favoritism, so that she won't be able to manage her family in the future.
But the old lady was wrong at this moment.
Qin Huining didn't understand her favoritism at all, and she was already sneering in her heart: What grandmother, what pampering, it's all fake! As soon as my granddaughter came back, her heart was swayed. Seeing me being beaten and wronged, she actually punished me to copy books together!
Out of the corner of Qin Yining's eyes, he saw the reactions of the old lady and Qin Huining, and she couldn't help laughing to herself. It seemed that Qin Huining was going to let down the good intentions of the old lady.
The old lady rubbed her eyebrows again, and Jixiang on the side brought a bowl of warm honey water to moisten her throat at the right time, while Qin mama stood by and skillfully massaged the old lady's temples.
Seeing the tiredness on the old lady's face, Qin Yining and Qin Huining bowed and resigned.
The old lady waved her hand lightly, and when she saw the two of them going out, she instructed Mother Qin: "Lvjuan, you asked someone to carry the lamp and send the two girls off."
Mother Qin immediately nodded knowingly, and quickly followed.
Qin Huining lived in the old lady's Cixiao Garden, but Qin Yining had to cross half of the back house to Sydney Courtyard. Mother Qin first called a little girl to come over and instructed a few words, and the little girl immediately chased after him with a lamp. Qin Yining.
Qin mama went to the warm pavilion where Qin Huining lived.
The house was in chaos, the nurse Cai Shi and the maid Bitong were both injured, Qin Huining's face was so swollen that it was impossible to see, the maids were busy waiting for the medicine, and there was a sound of inhalation and wailing in the room. Again and again, no one noticed that Mother Qin was still standing outside the window.
At this time, Qin Huining was already choking and crying.
The eldest maid, Bitao, hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, don't cry, how can it be good for your eyes to cry? The old lady must feel distressed when she finds out."
Bitao didn't go out with her today, so naturally she didn't know the details. She originally thought that the old lady's pampering would be able to comfort their girls, but who knew that she suddenly hit Qin Huining's sore spot.
Qin Huining opened Bitao's hand and wanted to complain about the favoritism of the old lady, but she was afraid that she could not control the volume and let people hear it, so she just scolded sharply: "Why are your hands so heavy! Can't you take medicine properly? !"
"This slave is not intentional, the girl forgives her sins." Bitao didn't know why, but she didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
Qin Huining couldn't help but feel the resentment, and put her foot on Bi Tao's chest: "You bitch! Poisonous prostitute! Broom Star! Are you trying to kill me? I'll kick you to death!"
Bitao cried out in pain, "Ouch", and fell to the ground. The maids in the room were silent, and none of them dared to persuade.
Mother Qin stood outside the window and listened clearly to the movement in the house, and her heart was clear.
Miss Huining is obviously resentful, and resents the old lady!
She is the dowry of the old lady. She has never been married so loyally by the old lady's side. She has accompanied the old lady to experience many storms and waves in the Qin mansion. She is loyal to the old lady because of her identity. The convenience of the old lady, she is afraid that she knows better than the master about the character of these people around the old lady.
This Huining girl used to be very good, knowledgeable and reasonable, and she was smooth in handling things. She was the best among her sisters, and was deeply loved by the old lady.
Who would have thought that as soon as the matter came out, the heart of competition would reveal such a nature.
In the end, it wasn't the eldest master's own, and the quality was a little worse.
Qin mama sighed softly and went to the old lady's room while there was no one left or right.
She wanted to tell the old lady about the matter, but thinking of the old lady's partiality towards Qin Huining, she was afraid that if she told the truth, the old lady would not like it, so she hesitated and swallowed the words, thinking slowly It is also a safe way to remind the old lady slowly.
—
Qin Yining came out today to greet the Sun family with Rui Lan and Qiu Lu. Rui Lan was taught a lesson by her. She had already returned to the Sydney courtyard, and only Qiu Lu was left with a lamp. .
Under the night, the long alley seems to be endless. Occasionally, a cold wind blows and drills straight into the neck of the person. The candle of the lantern is extinguished, and the shadows of the master and servant on the wall and the ground are also bright and dark. .
Qin Yining rubbed her cold hands and said, "You didn't make a move today."
Qiu Lu was stunned when she heard the words, and said clumsily: "Slave, this slave is frightened."
Qin Yining burst out laughing: "I know, you probably haven't seen a lady who beats people like me. It's just why you didn't help Miss Huining to arrest me?"
Qiu Lu's face became hot, and she thought the girl asked her why she didn't help her beat others.
"Girl, this servant is your servant, there is no reason to help outsiders, but, servant, servant has indeed never seen a lady who beats someone. I was frightened at the time, so I didn't think to help you. You got down."
When Qin Yining heard Qiu Lu's clumsy words, she couldn't help but feel in a good mood. According to her observation, Qiu Lu, although not smooth, is also a very transparent person.
At least there is not one available person around her.
Seeing Qin Yining's soft expression, Qiu Lu let go of her dangling heart, and felt a lot of goodwill towards Qin Yining.
She knows her own shortcomings, she is too dull, she doesn't know how to manage, and she will follow such a powerful Fourth Young Lady in the future, at least she will not be bullied.
Just as the two were walking forward, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind, but it was the little girl who had just been instructed by Mother Qin to chase after him with a lamp.
When they got close, the little girl saluted Qin Yining, explained her intention, and helped Qin Yining with Qiu Lu to walk to the Sydney courtyard.
The little girl observed her words and expressions as she walked, and saw Qin Yining's peacefulness in her eyes, thinking that she would go back later and tell Mother Qin that the fourth young lady was the same as when she first met.
Arriving in front of the Sydney courtyard, Qin Yining remembered that he used to help the owner of the herbal medicine shop deliver goods, and he could still get a reward of one or two coins, so he ordered Qiu Lu to reward him.
She didn't know the rules of the mansion, and she didn't know how much to reward, but Qiu Lu used to be by Sun's side. Although she was not allowed to serve in close quarters, she was well-informed and knew the rules. She grabbed the copper coins from the purse that she carried with her and rewarded her, and the little girl who sent her went back happily with a smile on her face.
Qin Yining praised: "You did a good job."
Qiu Lu blushed, but when she looked at Qin Yining, her eyes were sparkling, and Qin Yining couldn't help but smile.
The two entered the yard.
It was getting late, and it was almost the beginning of winter. The wind was cold in the quiet courtyard, and the sound of rustling grass and trees was particularly loud. The servants were all in their own rooms, and only a little girl squatted in the corner outside the wing to grab a fire from the charcoal stove. The orange-red sparks drifted away on and off, and then disappeared. In the darkness, the warm lights of the wing room were exceptionally bright.
Vaguely, Qin Yining heard a woman complaining in the wing.
She remembered that this was the house where Rui Lan and Yu Xiang lived together.
He led Qiu Lu to the wing room, and before he could speak, he stunned the little girl who fanned the stove.
The little girl stood up and was about to salute when she was stopped by Qin Yining's cold eyes.
Originally, after listening to Yu Xiang's instructions, when she saw someone coming, she was about to report the letter, but she was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound, and the little girl could only stand by with her head lowered.
As soon as Qin Yining approached the window, she heard a slightly sharp voice: "...she is nothing but a savage! The decent girls in the house are more noble than her, how dare she beat her sister like this! Tomorrow, I will definitely go back to the old lady and treat her!"
