The aunt sighed softly when she heard the words, "This is not a secret. I didn't tell my mother before, because I was afraid that my mother would be anxious when she heard it. Someone from the former Dazhou contacted Brother Ming and wanted Brother Ming to join Dazhou. During the period, he said After all the faults of our emperor, he also said that Da Zhou's little prince is brave, and the iron hoofs of the Tiger Ben army he leads will one day flatten the mountains and rivers of our Dayan..."

The female family members who were sitting took a deep breath when they heard the words.

Mrs. Dingguo frowned.

The second aunt also covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Sun's temperament was the most direct, and she grabbed her aunt's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, the people of the Great Yan Dynasty are uneasy! How good is the last hat of collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

"Isn't it just passed on to the emperor's ears? Brother Ming sternly rejected the lobbyist on the spot, and even relieved the official uniform and went to the emperor to plead guilty. You also know that our emperor... Suspicious. But in the end, I was shocked. It's safe, pass this level."

Qin Yining didn't know much about high-level affairs in Kyoto, but he knew all kinds of rumors about the emperor.

In the folk, there are many people who scold the faint-hearted: the old eyes are dim, the faint and incompetent, who favor the demon queen and make treacherous ministers in power. In particular, the Emperor Huon favored Taishi Cao, the ruler of the country, and condoned the prince's infighting, so that now half of the Dayan Dynasty is in the hands of Taishi Cao, the prince withered, and now there is only one prince left, and there is no choice in the matter of inheriting the throne.

The aunt sighed again, and said faintly: "Brother Ming has offended the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty like this, and he has been an early bird for so many years. I'm really worried, he doesn't look at his gentle temperament, and when he becomes stubborn, he will pull all nine cows. not coming back."

"Forget it, it's all over. Fortunately, the emperor believed in brother Ming." Mrs. Dingguo patted her daughter-in-law's hand, her eyes were gentle and kind, and she signaled that her children were all there, and no more words.

Only then did the eldest aunt reluctantly recover from her worries, and said with a smile: "It's almost time, mother, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look first, the banquet will be held later, so let's put the banquet in the warm pavilion. it is good?"

"Nature is good."

Auntie got up and stepped back.

The second aunt called and introduced the two cousins who had just followed in: "Sister Yi, this is your fifth cousin, this is your eighth cousin, your second and fourth cousins have both joined the army. Not at home right now."

Qin Yining hurriedly stood up to salute the fifth and eighth cousins.

The men in the Sun family were all tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and high noses. The fifth cousin and the eighth cousin, one in his early twenties, and the other in his seventeen or eighteen years, politely returned the salute to Qin Yining. Perhaps the age difference is much, perhaps the difference between men and women, they did not talk much.

Sitting down again and chatting for a while, Qin Yining realized that the five cousins of the Sun family, except for the eldest cousin Sun Yu, the other four were married. The cousin and the fourth cousin are also in Xihua City with their families, and it is rare to come back once in a long time. Sisters 5 and 8 are pregnant, one is about to give birth, and the other is pregnant and the fetus is unstable, so they are not suitable for walking, so they did not come out today.

"Cousin-in-law is inconvenient. She has a long time in Japan, and you are afraid that you will not meet again?" Qin Yining said with a smile, "Just ask my cousin to give me a compliment."

The fifth cousin and the eighth cousin both nodded with a smile, "More walks later, there will be more opportunities to meet."

Seeing that the juniors get along well, Mrs. Dingguo smiled very happily.

While he was talking, a maid spoke back and forth outside: "Old Madam, the banquet has been set, and the grandfather and the uncle have already gone to the warm pavilion. Please also ask the madams, young ladies and young masters to move to the warm pavilion."

"Let's go, let's go to the Warm Pavilion." Mrs. Dingguo stood up with a smile.

The maidservants accompanying the house each waited on the master to dress up, and a group of people arrived at the warm pavilion, chatting and laughing.

The ground dragon is burning in the warm pavilion, and as soon as you enter the door, you feel the heat blowing in your face, accompanied by the aroma of the food, making people feel the warmth of home.

There was an eight-section screen of black lacquer green bamboo in the room, separating the two tables. The men were on the other side, and the women were sitting around a table.

Since entering the door of the warm pavilion, Mrs. Dingguo's wife has been holding Qin Yining's hand, and Qin Yining naturally sat beside Mrs. Dingguo when she sat down. Sun was sitting on the other side of his biological mother.

Qin Huining pursed her red lips and sat beside Sun with her eyes down, followed by her cousins.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt stood beside Mrs. Dingguo, and both took the male chopsticks and served the cloth dishes.

Mrs. Dingguo laughed: "I don't want you to make rules today, sit down, and let's have a good meal as a family."

The eldest aunt put a piece of sweet and sour fish with the thorns removed in the exquisite five-blessing plate in front of Mrs. Dingguo, and said with a smile, "Mother cherishes her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law can't take care of her."

The second aunt also said: "Exactly, I'm used to serving my mother with meals, so don't say no to my mother."

Qin Yining looked at the expressions of the eldest aunt and the second aunt without a trace, and found that they were both sincere and cheerful, not insincere.

The big family pays attention to the rule of not speaking, and only the sound of dishes and dishes can be heard in the warm pavilion, but Qin Yining can feel the lightness and joy of the atmosphere. When everyone had finished eating, the maids came in with sputum boxes, tea bowls, brass basins and towels to wait on the masters to rinse their mouths and wash their hands. After everything was settled, tea was served.

After all, Qin Yining was returning to the high school for the first time, so it naturally became the focus of attention. The sisters looked at it secretly, and Mrs. Dingguo observed Qin Yining's behavior throughout the whole process. It was found that she was sitting dignified, with a straight back, calm and leisurely, and she had a ladylike bearing and gentleness, and there was no mistake in her manners and etiquette. people.

Mrs. Dingguo nodded secretly.

This girl is willing to study so hard. On the one hand, she is smart. On the other hand, she is able to judge the situation and has a strong ability to act after determining the situation.

With such a person by Sun's side, he can at least persuade him when he sees something. There is no need to let Sun's alone become Qin Huining's gun as before, and Mrs. Dingguo can rest assured.

"Remove the screen, you are not outsiders. Sister Yi should also see your grandfather."

"Yes." The maids carried the screen away.

Mother Bao walked to the door and only glanced at the servant girl who was serving in the house. Everyone immediately followed behind Mother Bao and left the warm pavilion, carefully closed the door, and retreated to the front of the courtyard to wait for dispatch.

Only his family was left in the house.

Duke Dingguo and Mrs. Dingguo got up and sat in the first place again, while the rest of the sisters stood aside according to their identities.

Qin Yining knelt on the red carpet with flowers and brocades, and gave Ding Gonggong a big gift: "Sister Yi pays a visit to grandfather."

"Get up." Duke Ding's voice was low, like a bell, and he knew that Duke Ding was in good health.

Taking advantage of the effort of raising his eyes, Qin Yining took a quick look. Duke Dingguo is a rare old man, tall, with a ruddy complexion and bright eyes. He is a very majestic and vigorous old man.

Ding Guogong asked Mrs. Dingguo's wife, "Don't you still have a gift for Sister Yi?"

"I was about to talk to Sister Yi." Mrs. Dingguo handed a bowl of warm tea to Dingguo's hand, and then pretended to be angry: "As long as you will be a good person, what I want to say, But you were robbed first."

Ding Guogong laughed, and almost spit out a sip of tea: "Look at how old you are, and you still misrepresent me like this."

The girls and young men were used to seeing grandfather and grandmother like this, so they all laughed.

Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh.

My grandfather and grandmother had a really good relationship.

The family is also kind. In comparison, the Xiangfu is much colder, and people are much more difficult to get along with.

Mrs. Dingguo beckoned to Qin Yining.

Qin Yining obediently came to stand beside Mrs. Dingguo.

"Good boy. You have suffered so much outside all these years, and now you are finally here." Mrs. Dingguo patted the back of Qin Yining's hand sympathetically, and said:

"My grandmother will give you the 'Zhaoyunsi' now, and you will be responsible for the management in the future, and the profits will be owned by you, and you don't have to give it to your mother or anyone else. I gave you such a deal. First, let you learn to operate and practice your skills. If you really need to manage general affairs in the future, you will not be discredited. Second, your grandmother will give you a little private house money. ."

Qin Yining has been obediently listening to her grandmother's words, looking at the expressions of the people around her out of the corner of her eyes. When she sees everyone's subtle expressions, especially Qin Huining's clenched lower lip, she knows that Zhao Yunsi must be a good thing. .

However, she didn't understand what kind of industry Zhao Yunsi was doing.

She only knew that this industry must be able to make a lot of profit, a large amount of profit, and it was given to her so plainly, which made her a little unbelievable, and instinctively raised doubts in her heart.

Qin Yining looked at Mrs. Dingguo uneasy: "Grandma, how can I manage this."

"Hey girl, there is naturally someone down here for you to send. I will also hand over the original treasurer Zhong Da's deportation documents to you. He is a suitable person, you can rest assured."

It means that Qin Yining is just famous, can he sit and eat dividends in the future

She was more disturbed.

Qin Yining never felt that there was a free lunch in this world. But she also knew that her grandmother would never harm her.

Mrs Sun listened on the side, and finally couldn't sit still: "Mother, she is a little girl who can understand how to run a business. She may not understand that Zhao Yunsi's huge industry understands that the loss is small. Trouble at home? Besides, I remember that Zhao Yunsi used to be the property under the name of Brother Ming, right? How can it be done to Sister Yi now?"

Qin Yining raised her eyes in surprise and met Sun Yu's gentle gaze.

"Don't think too much about it, Auntie, I'm occupied with court affairs, studying, and socializing. I really can't tell the time and energy to run the Zhaoyun Company. My grandmother has already exchanged fertile fields and shops with me. I just sit and wait for the receipt. Silver is." Sun Yu smiled and said, "I will have to take care of my cousin to manage it in the future."
