"Girl, I was just chatting with people outside, and I saw a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the main entrance of Guilin Building."
Bingtang entered the room excitedly, and said excitedly: "The slave took a look, and the person who went to the front to ask where the girl was is Qin! The girl is really good at calculating, and the old lady really came in person!"
"Can she not come in person?" Qin Yining played with the brand-new snuff bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "The people who have come to call us back in the past two days have not stopped every day. I think there is something going on in the house. The old lady needs my mother to stand up, and I'm afraid I can't stand it anymore. Bingtang, please go and invite my wife to come to my place. Let Songlan greet the distinguished guests outside. "
"Yes!" Bingtang's big round eyes were full of excitement, and trotted out.
Not long after, Mama Jin, Caiju and Cailan accompanied Sun to the door.
Mrs. Sun sat down beside Qin Yining and said with a smile, "What's the good thing? I just saw Bingtang, that girl's smiling brows, like she picked up a big gold ingot."
Qin Yining got up and went down to the ground to bring fruit plate snacks for his mother, as well as a bowl of hot tea, and gently placed the blue-and-white lidded bowl by Sun's hand, "People outside said that the old lady brought her personal attendant Xun Zun in person."
Sun's original hand serving tea was a meal.
I haven't seen him for a long time, and now I suddenly heard that the old lady came, and Sun felt nervous.
Qin Yining saw through Sun's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, mother, you can just do whatever you want. Besides, you have never been ashamed of the old lady."
Yes, on the contrary, it was the old lady who showed no mercy to her at all.
When something happened to Dingguo's mansion, the old lady's first thought was not to comfort her, but to divorce her. After that, the suppression of her never stopped. After Cao entered the door, the abuse intensified.
Sun's heart that had been shaken was firmed up again.
"Madam, girl, the old lady is here." Song Lan replied with a smile under the porch.
Sun shi and Qin Yining looked at each other and got up to greet each other tacitly.
Looking at the fresh and elegant backyard of Guilin Building, the old lady held her breath.
As soon as the yard with white walls and black tiles enters the courtyard, the blue bricks on the ground are cleaned and tidy, and a tall osmanthus tree stands on one side.
When I went up the steps, I saw that on the door of the main house was a light blue splendid bamboo warm curtain with a pattern of butterflies. The corners of the curtain were actually two sapphire gourds. Posing a lively and elegant arc, just looking at the door curtain, you can feel that there must be a young woman living in the house, and the occupant must be very happy.
When the old lady thought about her anger these days, and then looked at Sun and Qin Yining who were greeted with smiles and raised the curtain, she felt like she had eaten a pound of berberine.
"Old lady, you actually came in person, which really made my small shop flourish. Please forgive me if I miss you far away."
Qin Yining and the Sun family saluted the old lady. She also bowed her head to the mother Qin who was beside the old lady, and then helped the old lady up the steps, politely, as if there had never been a disagreement between them.
He raised his hand and didn't hit the smiling face, Qin Yining was so polite, and the old lady was not good at it, so she just snorted, half serious and half joking: "If I don't come, don't you plan to go back? You are Waiting for my old lady to come and invite you in person!"
The old lady was talking and looking at the furnishings in the house. The Arhat bed placed by the window was carved with a pattern of a magpie climbing a branch. It was more exquisite than the carving of the magpie climbing a branch screen in the main house of her Cixiao Garden. It is located in Duobao Pavilion. The decorations above are also luxurious and delicate. The bead curtains adorned with the hanging light green tulle are actually strung with matt pearls the size of rice grains.
The old lady could not help but feel a little sour in her heart.
Strangely, this girl refuses to go home. Isn't the place where they live here no worse than the mansion! Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dingguo's old helper would have such a heritage by giving a Zhaoyun Si to her granddaughter.
I don't know how much wealth Zhao Yunsi has!
It's a pity that this thing is in Qin Yining's name, and she has no way to intervene!
The old lady unconsciously held the bead curtain in her hand, her face was gloomy, and the greed and resentment in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
Seeing this, Mother Qin frowned and helped the old lady, for fear that someone would find out and drop the price.
But Qin Yining said with a smile: "Old lady, please take your seat. That's the bead curtain given by the royal family. Is the quality of the pearl okay?"
The old lady retracted her hand in fright.
If the bead curtain bestowed by the emperor is broken, she can't afford it!
The old lady sat down and praised: "In the end, it is a gift from the heavenly family. If you hang it up, the whole house will be lit up. The emperor enjoys the wealth of the heavenly family, and the gifts are naturally good things."
On the side, Mama Jin, picking oranges, rock sugar, and others all bowed their heads and couldn't help laughing.
Mr. Sun coughed to hide his smile, brought a cup of tea to the old lady, and then brought it to sit down with the old lady.
"How is the old lady lately? Your daughter-in-law looks much better than before. The master is honored as a marquis, and the Qin family is proud of the ancestors. If you want to come here, the old lady is also a happy person. It's a pity that the daughter-in-law is not in good health and suffers again. Frightened, but not lucky to have fun with the old lady."
The old lady looked up and down critically at Sun, and saw that she was wearing a dark blue Ruyi brocade with a waist and a waistcoat, her head was neatly rolled up in a high bun, and she only wore a sterling silver and sapphire flower head hairpin, and the collar buckle was the same style. The style of the hundreds of flowers inlaid with sapphire, although it is the clothing of filial piety, it can be pure and luxurious.
In particular, the good smell of jasmine flowers mixed with medicinal aroma in the breath is actually the jasmine flower head oil from "Jiao Rong Fang", which is the latest popular in Kyoto this year!
"Jiaorongfang" has risen overnight, because the rouge gouache has medicinal ingredients, and the ratio is extremely refined, and the effect is exceptionally good. Bai Wansheng has now sold for fifty taels of silver a can.
Nowadays, it is a symbol of the status of ladies to be able to use the rouge gouache produced by "Jiaorongfang".
The old lady got a small jar a few days ago, and she was thinking of using it again when she had a banquet and a banquet. It also looked decent.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Sun can use it as an ordinary fat powder on a daily basis!
Where did the Sun family get so much money? Naturally, it was given by Qin Yining, or Qin Huaiyuan!
The sour gas in the old lady's stomach was about to turn into substance, and her words couldn't help but bring out the sour taste: "Where is it, I think you are very happy, using Jiaorongfang's rouge gouache and wearing silk Luo silk satin, you eat delicious food. It's not like you are recovering from illness, but you come out to enjoy it. If you were a naive person, you might wonder if you have a new sponsor."
When Sun Shi heard this, his complexion immediately sank.
It seems that her soft-heartedness is a stupid expression, and a person like the old lady is not worthy of being soft-hearted!
Qin Yining put a plate of dim sum in the old lady's hand with a smile before Sun could speak, "Grandma eat some dessert to avoid a bitter mouth."
"You!" The old lady glared angrily.
Qin Yining said with a smile: "I only hate myself for being a daughter, otherwise I must rely on my own efforts to earn another pair of phoenix crowns for my mother. Now it's just brocade clothing and jade food, so how can I enjoy it? Eat well and dress well. If you use it well, it is not the ultimate enjoyment in the world, and the glory is the envy of all people, and that is the enjoyment."
Qin Yining remarked, suppressing and lifting the old lady, saying that she didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh.
The old lady looked at Qin Yining and sneered, "Your mother is lucky to have such a powerful daughter as you."
"Isn't the old lady also blessed with the same blessing, having a powerful eldest son." Qin Yining smiled.
The old lady was choked on the top, and when she thought that Qin Huaiyuan didn't turn her back on this matter, her anger surged.
"I'm here in person today. I think you don't want to take Qiao anymore. Hurry up and pack up and go back with me! Mrs. Sun, after all, you are the patriarch of my Qin family. Do you really leave things to your husband to do the work yourself? What's the use of having a daughter-in-law like you?"
This is clearly mocking Sun's incompetence.
Sun's face also sank, "What the old lady said is stubborn. Although I don't have a first-class official at home, isn't there a mother's first-class official life? My mother is a veteran in managing the house, and she has been trained for many years. Naturally, she can judge the situation better than her daughter-in-law, and know who to befriend and whom to keep away."
This is an insinuation of the old lady who sees the wind and turns the rudder.
The old lady's face was so gloomy that she could squeeze out the water.
Sun shi also had a gloomy face and refused to give in.
Qin Yining stood aside, playing with the snuff bottle silently.
The atmosphere in the house was like a layer of frost in winter.
After a stalemate for a moment, the old lady gritted her teeth before softening her voice: "Sister Sun, you are going back to the mansion now, everyone looks good. Besides, there is still a aunt Cao in the mansion, so you can rest assured that your husband will only be handed over to the aunt. ?"
Sun's heart was dripping blood, but he didn't care on his face.
"The daughter-in-law is not a jealous woman. If the master likes it, the daughter-in-law can take ten or eight concubines to serve the master, but I don't know how the old lady will explain it to Concubine Cao."
"You! You stupid woman!" The old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up and raised her hand to slap Sun's face.
Sun shi screamed in shock.
Qin Yining rushed forward to stop him.
But in the panic, the old lady slapped Qin Yining in the hand and slapped the snuff bottle she was playing with to the ground.
Liuli's snuff bottle made a sharp cracking sound, and a strong scent of mint snuff filled the room.
The old lady was going to get angry again, but Qin Yining said with a pale face: "It's over, it's over, grandma, you have caused a big disaster! That snuff bottle was the favorite thing of the Queen Mother when she was alive, and she has accompanied the Queen Mother for more than 30 years. The object, even the queen will kneel when she sees the snuff bottle! The emperor gave it to me, and my grandmother smashed it. If the emperor knows, how can we explain it!"
Hearing the words, the old lady made a "hum" in her head, looked at the broken snuff bottle on the ground, then looked at Sun Shi and Qin Yining, and scolded angrily: "You dare to use whatever you want from the imperial gift! I don't know if it's okay to let go!"
