This nickname really includes all the expectations of the elders for him. It can be seen that the grandfather, grandmother and mother cherish Pang Xiao.
It's just that in Qin Yining's impression, Pang Xiao has always been a tyrannical figure, and it is really difficult to combine him with the simple and honest nickname of "Dafu", which is ridiculous for no reason.
Qin Yining was not good at laughing out loud in front of the elders, so he had to hold back and warn himself not to be rude, and bowed his knees to give Ma's salute again: "Mrs. Ma's well."
"Okay, come and sit next to me. It's warm on the kang." Ma Shi pushed Yao Shi, "You go and sit aside."
Yao shi smiled and moved to one side, "Mother is too partial, so when you see the 'grandson-in-law', you don't want a daughter-in-law, right?"
This series of "grandson's daughter-in-law" jokes, no matter how thick-skinned Qin Yining is, her face was flushed with embarrassment at this time, and she only sat down beside the heated kang.
Mrs. Ma took Qin Yining's hand and said with a smile, "This silly boy from my family, when he comes home, he says how is Sister Yi, how is Sister Yi, and my ears are about to hear calluses. Alright, you're here in the capital, so Dafu doesn't have to hurt Acacia." At the end, he laughed cheerfully.
Qin Yining's face really wanted to be buried in the placket.
She has never seen such a hearty old man before, and there is no word between her and Pang Xiao, and there is another chasm between them. It was as if she was going to enter Pang's house tomorrow.
Seeing Qin Yining being so ashamed, grandfather Yao Chenggu lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said in a slow and soft voice, "Don't frighten the little girl, the big family is different from us."
Hearing this, Qin Yining couldn't help but look at Yao Chenggu.
This old man really looked like an old sheep as Pang Xiao said, and his tone was very gentle, but the meaning of the words was not simple.
Is he hating the Qin family? Still sarcastic? Or was she telling her that the marriage between her and Pang Xiao was not easy
Qin Yining smiled and said: "The old man is joking. If you talk about the family, how can the palace be a small household? On the contrary, the Yan Dynasty has already destroyed the country."
Yao Chenggu took another sip of his cigarette pouch, smiled gently and said nothing.
Ma glared at Yao Chenggu and said, "You old man, you have no reason to interrupt when a woman is talking, it's getting late, didn't you say that you want to stew fish for Dafu today?"
"Yeah." Yao Chenggu went down to the ground, one hand behind his back, holding his cigarette bag in the other, and dabbling, walking out.
Ma said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him, let's talk."
Yao Shi took an exquisite white porcelain and gold covered bowl from the maid and handed it to Qin Yining, with a gentle smile: "You have some almond tea to warm up first, isn't it cold outside?"
"Thank you auntie." Qin Yining was flattered and quickly took the tea bowl with both hands.
Yao Shi is a tall and beautiful woman. This kind of beauty has nothing to do with age. It is a kind of gentleness and intelligence from the inside out. When she spoke, there was a smile in her brows that were similar to Pang Xiao's, as gentle as the water of a warm spring, which made Qin Yining look very peaceful and comfortable.
After drinking a sip of almond tea, the warm fragrance from the mouth to the heart relieved Qin Yining's nervousness.
Yao shi said with a smile: "You first came to the north, and it was winter when you were exhausted by boats and cars. The journey must be very hard, right?"
Yao's voice was different from Ma's gentleness.
Qin Yining couldn't help smiling and said, "The journey back to Auntie went smoothly, but it was indeed the first time I saw such heavy snow. I lived in the northern border of Dayan when I was a child, and I thought the winter there was the coldest. Unexpectedly, there is a place colder than Liangcheng."
Ma said with a smile: "Silly girl, where are you in the south. Of course, it is much warmer than the north. I have been to places farther north when I was young, which is cold."
"Yes, I used to think that I was much happier than the ladies who grew up in the boudoir, because I once had the opportunity to live freely outside and see the outside world, but now I am very envious of Mrs. Tai, the lord said that you have been to many places. If Mrs. Tai is free, can you tell me about the places you have been to, so that I can also open my eyes."
From the conversation just now, Qin Yining could see that Mrs. Ma is a straightforward, outspoken person, and she likes her very sincerely. When the old man is old, he likes to talk about things when he was young. It happens that she also likes to listen , which is an excellent way to get closer.
Sure enough, Mrs Ma nodded happily, "Okay, as long as you like to listen to it." Then he looked at Pang Xiao who was peeling oranges and stuffing them in his mouth, "Dafu, why don't you let girl Yi live with me. When I see this girl, I like it tightly."
Pang Xiao was a little surprised, chewing the orange in his mouth and before he had time to answer, Yao shi said angrily: "Mother, my daughter still wants to be more kissable with Sister Yi, how can you steal someone from me?"
Yao's is a sensible person. Qin Yining is not a girl of the Yao family after all, so naturally he can't live in Yao's house. Even if Yao Chenggu is old, he must avoid suspicion.
Ma was a hearty Jianghu person and didn't care much about these details, but Yao was a maid in a big family and knew these rules in detail.
When Mr. Ma heard Yao’s words, he suddenly came back to his senses, coughed a little awkwardly, and said, "Don't blame me for being reckless, girl, I like it just by looking at you."
"Where can it be, I can't be happy too late." Qin Yining smiled very sincerely.
Pang Xiao had already swallowed the orange, clapped the white silk on his hands, and said, "Grandma, mother, don't bother you, I just ordered someone to prepare the Suxue Garden for Sister Yi to live in, the affairs in the courtroom. It's complicated, it's more appropriate to let Sister Yi live in Suxue Garden, and I still have many things to help me with."
Mrs. Ma nodded understandingly and said, "Although I don't interfere in the outside world, I do know a little bit. Sister Yi is a good child, so you must not treat her badly. The ten in your backyard, if they don't work, send them to Zhuangzi. Bar."
Pang Xiao was about to kneel to Ma Shi when he heard it! What he said, he and the ten had to hear something even if he was okay!
Seeing Pang Xiao's expression, Yao shi couldn't help laughing, and sighed inwardly, it seemed that his son was indeed tied to Qin Yining wholeheartedly.
Yao Shi took Qin Yining's hand and said, "Sister Yi, don't think too much, Madam Tai is talking about the ten concubines that the sage gave to Dafu a few days ago."
Qin Yining said with understanding: "Auntie, I know about this matter. The Holy One can neither refuse nor treat it badly." He turned to Ma Shi and said with a smile, "Madam, let them live as they used to, and continue to live as they did. Bar?"
She hadn't even gotten through the door yet, but Mrs. Ma thought about her frankly first. She was very grateful, but she also knew that even if she became Pang Xiao's wife, she would have no position to say anything more in the concubine's room.
Ma smiled with relief: "Sister Yi is a good boy."
Yao shi stood up and said, "Mother, I'll take Sister Yi to Suxue Garden to settle down first, and I'll bring her to dinner later."
Ma Shi understood that her daughter had something to say to Qin Yining, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask Dafu to talk to me."
