Mammy Qin acts cautiously and prudently. She is not someone who arbitrarily provokes right and wrong. Everyone in the room knows that Mammy Qin said this just to draw everyone's attention tactfully, lest the old lady be harassed by the words of Mrs. Sun just now. Awkward.
Seeing that Mother Qin was carrying auspicious and wishful points, she smiled complacently, as if she had won a battle, and she sat down with incomparable relief.
But Qin Huining is different.
Even though she used to be the most favored in front of the old lady, this old slave, Qin mama, has always been more than respectful to her, but not close enough. Acting all the time so that people can not find fault, but refused to get close to her.
She has studied poetry and books since she was a child, how could she be a cheater? It is impossible to be lazy by writing less secretly. Children who behave like that don't care. It's enough for Qin mama to doubt Qin Yining like this, and bringing her along is really insulting to the extreme.
"Go back to the old lady, the slaves have been counted." Jixiang placed the paper again, and glanced at Qin Yining with an obscure look.
"Old lady, my servant, Ruyi and Qin maiden counted it together, Huining girl copied it ten times, fourth young lady... thirty times."
When everyone heard the words, their eyes were placed on the two stacks of paper with obviously different thicknesses on the short table.
In fact, everyone can see the two stacks of paper at different heights, but the old lady just didn't care. Others couldn't see the size of Qin Yining's words on the paper. Just some paper.
Who would have imagined that the punishment was only for copying. The old lady asked to copy it ten times, but she actually copied it thirty times? !
The old lady turned over the "Book of Filial Piety" handed in by Qin Yining in surprise. Although the handwriting was ugly from start to finish, it could be seen that there was no ink stain on each piece of paper. The words are ugly and ugly, and the attitude is indeed very serious.
The old lady smiled and asked, "Sister Yi, I only fined me ten times, why did you copy it thirty times?"
"Yeah, that's what I'm asking." Qin Huining also said, "I know that you are going to study with Mama Zhan with your sisters in the morning and study in the afternoon. Our time is just as tight, how can you do that? Twenty times more than me?"
Qin Huining said and covered her mouth with a smile.
The old lady was a simple question, but Qin Huining implied that Qin Yining's copywriting might have cheated, but everyone could hear it.
Miss Six smiled cooperatively.
Miss Seven and Miss Eight were secretly angry and glared at Qin Huining several times.
Even Sun's eyes were a little different when he looked at Qin Huining.
Sun's heart is not happy.
After a few days of calming down, it is not difficult to see that Qin Huining is targeting Qin Yining, but this is in the old lady's house, in front of the second and third bedrooms, and now there are only Qin Yining and Qin Huining in the eldest room. Qin Huining acted like this, and really did not take the dignity of the long house in his eyes!
Qin Yining blushed shyly, and slightly lowered her head and twisted her fingers. Today, she is wearing a cloud-like bun. When she bows her head, she naturally reveals her slender and fair neck, which matches her delicate posture when she is standing. She looks delicate and beautiful. Like a swan, people can't stop pity when they look at it.
Even the voice was a little timid, obviously embarrassed: "Back to the old lady, the granddaughter didn't know how to write so many times at first, because of that day's events, the old lady was angry, it was really unfilial, Every time she copied a word, her granddaughter reflected on herself, and then unknowingly put it into it. In the end, she didn't care how many times she copied it. It was only last night that the granddaughter's maid discovered that she had copied it more than forty times. I took the ones that were written so ugly before, and that's what's left."
Having said this, Qin Yining gave the old lady a quick look, her face even redder, "Old lady, my granddaughter has never studied since she was a child, and asked me to go up the mountain to chop wood, hunt, and pick up herbs. I'm good at it. Writing is really difficult, even tying a piece of corn cake to the dog is better than me, and I wasted a lot of writing and ink in the past two days, and I myself feel sorry for the blank paper."
"Pfft!"
Qin Yining's voice fell when he heard a snort.
Looking at the sound, I saw that the old lady had already patted her thigh and laughed.
Although the old lady is sometimes eccentric and likes to do things when she is doing things, she is from a well-bred family, and the people around her have never seen the old lady laugh like this for many years. When I recall Qin Yining's words just now, they are all Couldn't help laughing out loud.
For a time, the atmosphere in the house was so harmonious that it seemed like a new year.
"You child! Come here, come to my grandmother." While wiping away the tears from laughter, the old lady took Qin Yining's hand and clapped: "How can it be as bad as you said? You have no conditions. Go to study, or you won't be worse than your sisters! It's hard for you to seriously reflect on yourself, but you have written it more than forty times? I wonder if you have dark circles under your eyes these two days."
"Lvjuan." The old lady turned to look at Mother Qin.
Qin mama smiled and saluted the old lady: "The slave is here."
"You turn around and instruct the kitchen to give the fourth young lady bird's nest porridge every day. I see that Sister Yi's body is too thin and she looks like she will collapse when the wind blows. She has suffered a lot these years. Make up for it.”
"Yes. The slaves must be instructed to continue."
Qin Yining's face was not so red now, but when she heard the old lady say to give her Yan'er's Nest porridge, she looked up at the old lady with flattery.
Her almond eyes contained a layer of mist, and her eyes were as pure and clear as gems. For no reason, they reminded people of a newborn kitten, and they were so soft that they wanted to hug them in their arms and smooth their hair.
The old lady did exactly that.
He put Qin Yining in his arms and patted her on the back: "good boy, don't worry, follow your master to learn the words slowly, you don't have to feel that you are less than anyone else, Don't compare yourself to a dog anymore. You know that?" Having said that, I couldn't help but feel amused when I remembered the words "Leave a tortilla to the dog" just now.
Qin Yining leaned in the arms of the old lady, her nose was full of the smell unique to the elderly, plus the fragrance of fat powder and tobacco, which made people feel warm for no reason. She couldn't help laughing and bending her eyes, nodding obediently, but her heart was secretly relieved. Take a breath.
Unexpectedly, the strategy of "not enough quality and quantity to make up" is really feasible, and it will not cost her to cut off her copying hand.
God knows how much effort she had to waste when she was "shy" just now to hold her face red...
Everyone looked at the picture of the old lady holding Qin Yining's arms, with shallow eye sockets such as the third and eighth misses, and they couldn't help but turn red.
Qin Yining's words just now inevitably evoke everyone's memory of her life experience.
Even Mrs. Sun, the second lady and the third lady could not help dipping the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs.
For a child who has been lonely since childhood, it is no longer easy to survive. Who can criticize her for writing good characters as soon as she holds a pen? What's more, this kid is such an honest man.
The Sun's dissatisfaction with Qin Yining's humiliation just now was completely replaced by pity.
Seeing all this, Qin Huining almost bit her teeth into pieces!
Unexpectedly, a casual sentence from Qin mama would cause such a consequence.
Will the old lady laugh out loud at this person
The old lady still hugged Qin Yining and said that Qin Yining was weak and had to eat bird's nest every day!
She didn't eat bird's nest every day before. When this savage beat someone, her fist was as hard as a rock, and her strength was like a cow. How did they know that she was weak!
Emotionally, her plan to suffer this meal was completely in vain, because everyone had forgotten it!
Qin Huining kept a stiff smile on her face, but her eyes pierced Qin Yining like knives. She really is a scheming and cunning person, pretending to be pitiful, acting as a clown, and doing everything she can to please the old lady! Simply shameless!
Qin Huining cursed Qin Yining in her heart, and the smile on her face could hardly hold back.
When Sun shi looked back, she saw Qin Huining's stiffness in her eyes. She sighed helplessly in her heart. She could see Qin Huining's rejection of Qin Yining, and she could see Qin Huining's uneasiness, and she understood the source of her uneasiness. .
As a mother, besides comforting her, she doesn't know what to do. After all, she was going to recognize Qin Yining. After carefully digesting what Mrs. Dingguo said in the past two days, Mrs. Sun just thought she had given birth to another daughter.
Could it be that if she had another daughter, Qin Huining would still be like this
The more Sun thought about it, the more serious his face became.
Qin Huining was so angry that she didn't notice the expressions on Sun's and other people's faces, she just thought she was still smiling as usual.
But which of the people in this room is not a human being? The expressions of the two girls fell into everyone's eyes. Their ideas are different.
But in a word, now they recognize Qin Yining's ability to act. Everyone could see the old lady's rejection of her when she entered the door, but now? In just a few days, she had the ability to coax the old lady to laugh like never before, and to make the old lady hug her and eat bird's nest every day to replenish her body.
Did the old lady forget that when she beat Qin Huining violently that day, two or three maids didn't take her down
But this time the old lady Jun is happy, no one will touch the bad head for no reason.
Mammy Qin saw that the old lady was doing things fairly and being so close to Qin Yining, her smile deepened.
"Old lady." Just as Yan Yan was laughing in the room, a lovable maid came in and saluted and replied, "Old lady, the grandson of Dingguo is here, and he is talking to the prime minister in the outer courtyard. , said that he wanted to come in to greet the old lady, I wonder if the old lady can be free here?"
The old lady was delighted to hear the words: "If you are free, if you are free, please come in quickly."
"Yes." The maid stepped back.
The old lady asked Sun, who was full of joy: "Why is your nephew here? Brother Meng is off today?"
"Go back to the old lady, the master is taking a rest today. I think that Yuanming knew that his uncle, Xiu Mu, came here specially. My mother also said that Yuanming admired his uncle's talent and learning the most, and he also had a belly in the court service. I want to ask the master for advice.”
