The sisters returned to the outside world, and the old lady smiled and said, "It's almost the same time today. You should go to Xingning Garden to learn the rules, right?"
"Yes." The girls nodded in unison.
Mrs Sun said: "Old lady, I will study as usual today, and tomorrow morning I will take Sister Yi back to Duke Dingguo's mansion, and then Mammy Zhan will take the other girls in Xingning Garden as usual. That's it."
The old lady smiled and nodded, as if she didn't hear anything wrong from Sun's words.
Qin Huining, who was staring at him, finally couldn't help it. He pulled Sun's sleeve and said timidly, "Mother, are you not bringing your daughter? I miss my grandfather and grandmother a little too."
In fact, Sun was a little hesitant at first.
Sun Yu had just arrived, because Mrs. Dingguo wanted to see the palm pearl Qin Huaiyuan had just recovered, but she did not say that she wanted to see her adopted daughter. But on second thought, they said they wanted to see their granddaughter, but they didn't say which one they wanted to see. They just pretended to be confused and brought Qin Huining with him.
"Naturally I want to take you." Sun shi gently took care of Qin Huining's temples: "Let's go tomorrow morning."
Qin Huining held Sun's arm and smiled coquettishly.
The sixth young lady on the side said enviously: "Auntie, if you have the opportunity another day, you can bring your nieces to your house to see and see, I heard that the garden of Dingguo Gongfu is bigger than ours, and the scenery is more beautiful. "
When the second lady heard the words, her face was a little ugly. She glared at Miss Six, but Miss Six was not as obedient as usual, but looked at Sun with red and bright eyes.
Mrs. Sun was overwhelmed by Miss Six's words, nodded and said, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely take you all with me."
"Yes, thank you auntie." Miss Six smiled sweetly.
Seeing this, the old lady didn't think much about it, she just thought the children were playful and innocent.
"Family relatives, it's good to move around more. This time, Sister Yi just came back. She must have something to say after seeing her grandfather and grandmother. Next time you all go, you will have a chance."
The girls all said yes.
Qin Yining still lived a very fulfilling day. However, Xu was going to Dingguo Gongfu tomorrow, but Qin Huining seemed to be absent-minded when she was studying. Qin Huining repeated the etiquette gestures that Zhan Ma said several times, and she couldn't remember, so Zhan Ma was too lazy to talk.
Moreover, Qin Yining also found that Qin Huining always looked at herself with more resentful eyes, as if she had a grudge against her.
In the afternoon, I went to the study in the outer courtyard to listen to the master lecture through the screen. When I returned to the Sydney courtyard in the evening, it was already dark.
Qin Yining was thinking about going to see Mrs. Dingguo tomorrow, but because she didn't know what the other party's temperament was, she felt a little uneasy. He instructed Ruilan to prepare what he was going to wear tomorrow, and asked Mammy Zhan to help him check it out to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the match, so he stopped.
But lying on the step-by-step bed, she still carefully recalled the mother Bao that day in her mind.
It is said that "like things gather, people are divided into groups", Bao's mother is a capable person around Dingguo's wife, and naturally she will have a bit of Dingguo's wife's character, and she will be somewhat assimilated with her master when she talks and does things.
Qin Yining finally fell asleep with complete peace of mind after he had carefully thought through all the possible difficulties and made up his mind about how to deal with it.
Silent all night.
The next day, after greeting the old lady, Qin Yining went back to the Sydney Courtyard to wash and change.
She chose a pale-pink plain satin woven wide-sleeved brocade jacket with a goose-yellow eight-piece skirt and a scarlet white rabbit fur collar cloak. The color of the water spirit makes Qin Yining not lose the tenderness of a young girl, but also the beauty of a girl. In terms of clothing and workmanship, it will not lose the pomp of a lady.
As for the head and face, Qin Yining chose a pair of small lilacs and a begonia flower headpin from the set of jasper head and face that the third wife gave.
Qin Yining's black hair is crow green, and the hairpin with a begonia flower head is matched with the bun, which makes his hair black and shiny, and the hairpin is exquisite and precious.
"Mommy, I don't need fat powder at my age, right?" Qin Yining looked at the bottles and jars on the dressing table.
With a smile, Madam Zhan trimmed Qin Yining's hair on the sideburns, and said with a smile, "Miss this is very good, you are naturally beautiful, young girls don't need those pale yellow powder, but it's cold outside, You only use a light jasmine-scented ointment evenly to prevent your skin from being blown by the wind."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded: "Listen to your mother."
When he went to Duke Dingguo's mansion, Qin Yining only brought Ruilan with him. I could have brought a mama too, but Qin Yining observed it and found out that Mammy Zhu was a quiet old man who couldn't take the lead at all. Mammy Zhan was not a servant by her side, so she just gave up.
In order to go out, Rui Lan also changed into a green jacket today, with a magenta fur collar longer than a armor, so wearing red and green, because she is young and stable, she also looks likeable very.
"Girl, the sedan chair is ready. The eldest lady said that the carriage is parked outside the second gate. Go out through the west gate. Let's go to the second gate and change to the carriage."
Qin Yining got into the sedan chair, holding a delicate hand warmer in his hand. Rui Lan followed beside the sedan chair and left the second door in a short time.
I changed to a small carriage with an oil wall for transportation, and it took a while before I arrived at the west gate.
A long line of trains had already stopped in front of the west gate.
Mrs. Xiangye was going to go back to her parents' house, and this time she was taking her daughter with her. Naturally, it was impossible for a carriage to drive away like the last time. This time, I prepared two wagons with canopy tassel, followed by the flat-headed carriage that the old mother sat in, followed by two carriages pulling gifts, followed by servants, guards, etc. There are dozens of people, to say the least.
Qin Yining stepped on the red lacquered stool and got on the first carriage. As soon as the curtain was lifted, he saw that Mrs. Sun and Qin Huining were sitting on the front seat, leaning against each other, while Mama Jin was sitting on the lower hand side. When she saw Qin Yining coming in, she hurriedly bowed. say hello.
Qin Yining returned the salute and saluted Sun.
Today, Mrs. Sun is wearing deep and shallow purple clothes. The kesi shawl on the outside is luxurious and luxurious. There is almost no trace of the years on her delicate face, but she can only see her dignified and bright.
Qin Huining's bright dress was beyond Qin Yining's expectations.
Qin Yining sat opposite Jin's mother and began to look at Qin Huining openly.
The emerald kesi cape and the blue robes of Yunjin's body are all very light and elegant, but she has put a lot of effort into her makeup, her eyebrows are slightly raised, and the powder is applied just right, especially the rose petal-like red lips and her earrings. The ruby beads of her echoed it, brightening her entire complexion a bit.
Such a dress is indeed beautiful, beyond her original dignity, showing a bit of brilliance.
Xu Shi was uncomfortable with Qin Yining's scrutiny, Qin Huining frowned slightly and said, "What is Sister Xiaoxi looking at?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Miss Huining looks so beautiful in such a dress, I can't help but look crazy."
"It's not as beautiful as Sister Xiaoxi's natural beauty." The sourness in the words was hard to hide.
She has tried her best not to lose to Qin Yining in terms of appearance, because she thought that since it was the first time to go to Dingguo Gongfu, Qin Yining would definitely dress up carefully.
Who would have thought that Qin Yining would not put on powder, and did not wear much jewelry? !
The most hateful thing is that Qin Yining's beauty and brilliance are innate, even if she doesn't put on makeup, she can't hide it.
Originally, Qin Huining was still a little proud, but now sitting opposite Qin Yining, she felt that her pride was shattered into scum.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Mama Jin coughed lightly, glanced at the half-closed eyes of the Sun family, and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss, head back to the Dingguo Gongfu, how about this old slave introducing you to the Dingguo Gongfu? "The attitude is very respectful, and the impatience of the first meeting is no longer.
Qin Yining knew that these people were accustomed to stepping up and down, so she was not annoyed, but smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Mama Jin, I was just about to ask you for advice."
Mother Jin explained to Qin Yining in a low voice.
Although Duke Dingguo's mansion is a noble man, it is a family of poetry and books, and the rules of the family are extremely strict, regardless of the high position and authority, but the children of the family, especially under the management of the current Duke Dingguo and Mrs. Dingguo. Among the three generations of his family, no matter whether it is the main family or the side branches, there has never been any evil deed of bullying men and women.
Moreover, what surprised Qin Yining the most was that the sisters of Duke Dingguo were very united. What kind of intrigue and conspiracy to frame, if caught by Mrs. Dingguo, it will be severely punished.
"Mrs. Dingguo said, if the family can't unite, how can they resist foreign invasion? A flower looks good from the outside, but if the root is rotten, it will not live long." Jin's mother's tone was with Yourong Yan.
Qin Yining strongly agrees.
Such a comparison, it seems that the Xiangfu is a bit dirty...
Dingguo had only two rooms in his family, and the Sun family was the eldest daughter, but in the clan, the two elder brothers were very fond of the Sun family.
"The girl's eldest uncle and second uncle are both military generals who fought against Da Zhou, and they should not be in the mansion now. But both aunts are there. There are six sisters in the clan, five young men, and the eldest is The uncle who came to the house to post yesterday..."
Mother Jin talked about the ethos of Dingguo Gongfu, and also talked about the people of Dingguo Gongfu's own family. Qin Yining carefully read them one by one.
By the time the carriage arrived at the Dingguo Gongfu, Qin Yining had already understood the composition and atmosphere of the Dingguo Gongfu.
"Is Auntie back!" A cheerful voice came from the door outside the carriage, and then someone went to the mansion to pass the message: "Go and tell the old lady, the aunt and Miss Biao are back."
The curtains were lifted, and red lacquered wooden stools were set up by the people below. Mother Jin jumped out of the car and served Sun to get out of the carriage. Mother Cai and Bi Tong supported Qin Huining, and Ruilan supported Qin Yining.
Going up the steps and entering the side door, the group just passed the ceremony door when they saw two noble ladies and a group of young girls coming out mightily.
"I said I'll come back later, but your second sister-in-law insisted on coming out and waited, saying that you'll be there soon, but we can't do it now that it's cold." The older woman grabbed Sun's hand and kissed her. said: "Oh, my hands are so warm."
