"Grandmother, please accept my granddaughter." Qin Yining didn't dare to ask her for help, so she stopped and gave a big gift. The companions naturally avoided to the left and right.
Mrs. Dingguo's eyes became softer, she supported her with both hands, took her hand and said sympathetically, "Good boy, you don't need to be so polite, let your grandmother take a good look at you."
Mrs. Dingguo's hand had the dryness and warmth that is unique to an elderly person, and the slightest heat was transmitted, making Qin Yining involuntarily burst into tears.
Mrs. Dingguo only looked at Qin Yining's watery eyes, her heart was soft and messy.
Some people have a predestined relationship, and they fall in love when they meet him. This is how Mrs. Dingguo looked at Qin Yining.
Mrs. Dingguo could feel the calluses and scars on Qin Yining's hands with her fingers, and her heart softened, she patted the person in her arms with pity, and her voice was choked: "Poor child, you have suffered all these years."
In a word, the warm Qin Yining's tears could not help falling. The warm and soft embrace and the elegant incense on Mrs. Dingguo's body were touching the softest and most fragile part of her heart. Cry out loud in good times.
"Don't be sad, grandmother, no matter what happened in the past, everything has passed. Let's all look forward and don't have to look back."
These words entered Mrs. Dingguo's heart, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's all over, it's all over."
The eldest aunt and the second aunt, who had been moved and kept wiping away their tears, also nodded their heads, and even Sun, who had been emotionally distressed after finding her daughter, couldn't help crying for a while.
The scene of hugging her head and crying in the cold wind was too sad, and my aunt sniffed quickly and said, "Look at how happy my mother is, and I can't care about the weather, so why did you come out wearing the soft shoes in the house? Carefully get cold on the ground."
Mother Bao dipped the corner of her eyes with her sleeve, and said cooperatively, "Old Madam can't wait to see her granddaughter. The slaves and servants are not allowed to wait and change shoes."
"Tell me? I don't know who can't sit still here." Mrs. Dingguo teased her two daughters-in-law.
The sad atmosphere was diluted, and there was only joy. Everyone laughed and walked into the house. Even the little girl who lifted the curtain was all smiles, as if it was a new year.
Qin Yining kept smiling with tears in her eyes. Listening to your aunt and grandmother's every word of concern, she couldn't get in the way.
This scene was something she had imagined countless times on the way back to Beijing from Liangcheng. Unexpectedly, what I couldn't get in my own home, I actually got it in my grandmother's house.
She tossed and turned last night, and the unexpected situations and solutions she thought about seemed to be useless, but she was unfounded and worried.
Mrs. Dingguo sat in the first place, served by her two daughters-in-law, and her eldest aunt, second aunt, and Mrs. Sun sat next to each other.
Bao's mother brought a futon for Qin Yining, Qin Yining knelt down and gave a big gift: "Granddaughter, please grandmother and two aunts."
"Get up, get up quickly." Mrs. Dingguo leaned over to help, pulling people up and sitting next to them, "Are you still used to coming back to live? Is there something missing? Your mother has a quick temper and a rough heart. If she dares to neglect you carelessly, tell your grandmother and I will beat her!"
Mrs. Dingguo's speech was so fast that Qin Yining couldn't get in at all, she could only shake her head repeatedly, indicating that she had never been neglected.
"My mother is biased. When Sister Yi came, she compared me." Sun's face flushed at the words of her biological mother, and she couldn't help thinking that she was beating her child and giving a severe warning, but several times, all of them failed. It is this child who knows that he has generally fulfilled his decency, and feels a little guilty in his heart.
"How old are you, and you still care about your daughter! I won't talk about your quick temper. You should use your brain more in the future. Don't let others say that you are the wind." Mrs. Dingguo ordered Sun's 's forehead.
Qin Huining heard the words, her face was as pale as paper, and she lowered her head to observe the expression of Mrs. Dingguo.
Mr. Sun shrank his neck and stuck out his tongue with a smile on his face, which made the girls all laugh, and the loud laughter spread far out of thin air.
Qin Huining was extremely anxious.
She knew that her grandmother was not a simple person, but she wasn't as easy to play with as Sun's. Her words just now clearly meant something in her words!
Since coming to Dingguo Gongfu, that wild hoof has always been the focus of everyone's attention, even my grandmother can only see her, as if she has become transparent.
Being so slow originally made Qin Huining jealous and resentful, but now, those resentful emotions were extinguished by a sentence from Mrs. Dingguo, and the only thing left was the panic of falling out of favor.
She was busy bowing to Mrs. Ding Guo's wife and said with a smile, "Grandma looks better these days."
Mrs. Dingguo held Qin Yining's hand, patted the back of her hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm living a comfortable life, your two aunts and your cousins are filial to me, now Ah, I don't care about this family anymore. Your aunt will take care of it all by herself, and won't tell me the words of chasing the wind. I have nothing to do with my body, just take care of my grandson, you say, Could this look bad?"
With a buzzing sound in Qin Huining's head, her face turned red and white, and she forced a smile: "Grandmother is a very lucky person. Aunt and cousins are filial, and uncles and cousins are also good-natured."
"Yeah." Mrs. Dingguo looked at Qin Yining beside her with a smile on her face: "Our sister Yi suffered hardships in the past, but now that she has returned home, the doom is over, and it will be a good day in the future, so Sister Yi is also lucky."
Everyone laughed in sympathy, and everyone chatted.
Qin Huining stepped back angrily and stood still, her hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist, her palm almost bleeding from her long nails.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Dingguo would show her face like this, and secretly beat her repeatedly in her words.
She doesn't know if others can understand it, but Sun's 80% can understand it.
Qin Huining looked at Sun uneasily, but saw that Sun was smiling and looking in the direction of Mrs. Dingguo and Qin Yining, and she was smiling happily.
Xu Shi felt her gaze, and Sun turned his head inquiringly.
The two looked at each other, and all the grievances in Qin Huining's eyes that were too late to put away fell into Sun's eyes.
Mrs Sun was stunned for a while, thinking about what Mrs. Dingguo had just said, and thinking about how Qin Huining still used her methods in front of her cousins today, she didn't like it in her heart, so she didn't call people over as usual. Reassured, and continued to talk to the two sisters-in-law.
She ignored her!
Qin Huining almost clenched a mouthful of silver teeth!
Now I can see who is close and who is not. The hearts of these people are too crooked. It is true that she has been replaced, and she has indeed occupied the position of Qin Yining's first-daughter for fourteen years, but how can these be Blame her? She is also a victim! At this moment, he gave her a look.
They treat her like this, can you blame her for fighting!
"Old madam." The maid came in to salute and said with a smile: "The grandfather and the uncle have returned from the court, and the chief of the palace has come with them, saying that there is an imperial decree! Let us all go to the front to receive the decree. !"
"Is it the Director Wang next to the emperor who came in person?" There was silence, and Mrs. Dingguo's voice seemed a little high.
The eldest maid nodded: "Yes, the servant asked the little one who followed, saying that the grandfather and the uncle were very happy to see it, and the chief manager Wang was also very polite, and just told the young men not to come to Chunxi Hall first, go first. I saw Director Wang Da in front of me, ready to receive the decree."
The second aunt clapped her hands: "I said that those children are not here yet, so it's a good thing! Mother, it's probably a good thing for the gentlemen!"
Mrs. Dingguo and the eldest aunt also guessed like this, and both of them had happy expressions on their faces.
Duke Dingguo and the whole family are the mainstays in the fight against the Dazhou invasion. Whether it is the descendants of Sun Hailin, the second master Sun Haijing, who are fighting against the enemy on the front line, or Sun Yu, the son of a pen who is serving in the dynasty, civil servants and military generals, all of them belong to the emperor's main fighting faction. sharp edge.
Now that Director Wang is here in person, it must be a reward to any man in the government.
At this time, there was no time to talk. Mrs. Dingguo, the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the Sun family all hurried to do their makeup. The girls also arranged their clothes, and then quickly went to the front yard. Incense burning.
It was the first time Qin Yining had seen such a scene, so it was inevitable that he was a little nervous. She followed her cousins and knelt down at the end of the female relatives, listening to the slightly sharp voice of Director Wang read the imperial decree:
"Fengtian, the emperor decreed: Sun Yu, the minister of the Hanlin Academy, the grandson of the Dingguo, is upright, talented, self-disciplined, respectful of the public, lofty and clear, not complicit in the mud and mud, loyal to learn from, deeply comforting my heart, I will write it now. He was promoted to the academician of the Hanlin Academy, and he was given one hundred taels of gold.
"Thank you, Emperor Ron!"
The crowd kowtowed in unison.
Director Wang held the imperial decree with both hands and said with a smile, "Master Sun, congratulations!"
Sun Yu took the imperial decree with both hands and hurriedly said with a smile, "Thank you, Director Wang, and I also invited the flower hall to serve tea."
Ding Guogong stood up and said with a smile: "If there is a trip to the manager Wang, I must have a taste of the old man's good tea before going back."
Director Wang's smiling eyes curled into crescent moons, and he bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Lord of the country, but this servant will be disrespectful."
"Please."
Ding Guogong and Sun Yu went to entertain the Director Wang.
The female relatives and the rest of the young master returned to Chunxi Hall together.
After changing clothes and washing up, and taking a seat again, the atmosphere became active again.
"Oh, it's really a great thing, a great blessing!" Mrs Sun took her aunt's hands and said, "It's hard for my sister-in-law to raise such a good son, she has already entered the pavilion at a young age, and she still relies on it. With his own talent and learning, he was promoted to the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy! Even more, he can get the emperor's own award! With such an honor, our family has a unique position!"
The uncle smiled and waved: "Look at what you said, Brother Ming is just good luck. And this time, it really hit the emperor's itch."
Having said that, everyone is curious.
Mrs. Dingguo asked, "I'm just wondering, why did the emperor specially order Wang Dajian to announce the reward, not to mention promotion, but also to reward a hundred taels of gold?"
Qin Yining also blinked curiously, everyone said that the power of heaven is unpredictable, and it is rare for the eldest cousin to be so highly regarded by the emperor.
