Qin Huaiyuan smiled when he heard the words, "If you want to come to this huge imperial court, only you have the courage and courage to say this."
Pang Xiao also smiled, "I am only open-mouthed in front of my father-in-law. If I was outside, I wouldn't be so bold. The Holy One rules the world with benevolence and filial piety. How could such a thing be allowed to happen?"
The two are smart people, and they already know each other well without having to say anything. With Li Qitian's character, even if he did something wrong, he would never let people know, and he always had to find a way to cover it up.
Qin Huaiyuan thought for a while, and said, "I understand what you mean. But the Hu Ben army owes the army salaries, isn't it all your fault? That's why I admire your ability. , and let the brothers be loyal to you, willing to fight hard to kill the enemy in front of the battle, and let them respect you even when you are in arrears, so as not to get everyone shouting, this is really not a match. easy thing."
Hearing this, Pang Xiao couldn't help laughing: "Father-in-law, this is actually not difficult, as long as I share weal and woe with the soldiers, charge ahead and retreat behind, this is enough."
Qin Huaiyuan looked at him with eyes full of approval: "Although the truth is said, but how many people can really follow it? In fact, the truth of many things is the most simple, so simple that everyone knows it.
"Just like reading, we all know that if you want to take the imperial examination, you must first thoroughly study the range of examination questions over the years, and then work hard to read and understand it thoroughly.
"Eighty percent of the students understand this truth, but only a few can really jump through the dragon gate, because they can't exercise self-discipline and perseverance.
"Reading is something that is not life-threatening, even for ordinary people, not to mention that you are fighting to kill the enemy, and you are fighting with your life all the time."
Pang Xiao couldn't get rid of what Qin Huaiyuan said for a while, he waved his hand and smiled: "It's as good as my father-in-law said, it's just courageous."
"Bold, careful, and kind-hearted." Qin Huaiyuan stretched out his arms and patted his son-in-law who was sitting across from the table, "You are very good. I will give you Sister Yi, I am very relieved."
Qin Huaiyuan's words were already a great affirmation for Pang Xiao. Pang Xiao has no father since he was a child, and the guiding light in his growth has always been Yao Chenggu. Yao Chenggu is indeed very smart, but if his intelligence is only used in the market, it is more than enough to open a restaurant. If it is used in the court, his vision is limited after all.
Now that Zhi Pan An has become his father-in-law, Pang Xiao feels that he has more confidence in his actions, because he knows that when he is confused and unable to pay attention, Qin Huaiyuan will definitely point him to the right path.
Especially since he has complete trust in him. From the time he was in the Dayan Dynasty, he had always trusted him.
For him as a son-in-law, this has been a great compliment.
Lunch is still placed in the main room of the old lady.
When the family was having a dinner, the young master did not stick to those small details, he only put a screen in the middle, and then took the seats separately on both sides.
Qin Yining was next to the second lady of the Sun family, and she often listened to the elders telling her to eat more, and also heard the eloquent talk of the men on the other side of the screen, pointing out the disadvantages of the times.
In front of the others, Pang Xiao was not as chatty as when he was in front of Qin Huaiyuan, but he was not acting like a prince, but he was calm. He doesn't talk much, but every time he speaks, he gets to the point. The second master and the third master were full of praise for him, and Qin Han and Qin Yu also gained a new understanding of Pang Xiao. In the past, I only thought he was a fool, but now it seems to be a big mistake.
On this side of the screen, the second lady took Sun's hand and whispered, "It seems that Sister Yi has chosen a good family. Sister-in-law can rest assured now."
After listening to Qin Yining's introduction and adding her own observations, Mrs Sun couldn't be more satisfied with Pang Xiao, she nodded and said in a low voice, "I only have such a daughter, if she can live a good life, I will Peace of mind."
Qin Huining, who was sitting not far from Sun's, heard Sun's words "there is only such a daughter", and her heart was sour that she almost burst into tears on the spot.
She no longer has any hope for Sun's relationship with her. She knew that the family raising her now was no different from raising a kitten and puppy who followed the owner for years begging for food.
But really hearing that the Sun family didn't care about her at all, Qin Huining was still sad and wanted to cry.
She sniffed, forcing herself not to cry on the good day when Qin Yining returned home, but when she looked up, she met Qin Yining's smiling eyes.
Qin Huining's pupils shrank, embarrassed as if someone had slapped him a few times, and looked away in embarrassment.
Qin Yining originally wanted to express kindness. She thought that Qin Huining was also her father's adopted daughter. Although the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel, the matter had passed. Now that she has her own family and a husband who loves her, there is no need to bite the unhappy past.
It just didn't occur to her that her kindness seemed to be misunderstood.
That's all, if she finds out that she is too close, she might frighten Qin Huining. Anyway, she doesn't expect any contacts in the future, so let's leave it like this for now.
After the meal, Qin Yining accompanied Sun's back to the room to talk, and took a short nap in the afternoon, while Pang Xiao and Qin Huaiyuan were always discussing state affairs in one place.
The old lady pulled Qin mama in the main room and said in a low voice, "Go and see what the fourth maid is doing, why did you not want to talk with me when you came back."
Mother Qin couldn't help sighing helplessly when she heard the words. At the beginning, I broke my face with the fourth young lady, but now I feel that they are not interacting with each other to get close. The fourth young lady is not shameless, skinless, and self-respecting, so how can I rush here
Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it. Mother Qin had no choice but to say: "Fourth Miss is not used to being away from the eldest lady. If you want to come out of the cabinet, there are some personal things to say to the eldest lady."
When the old lady heard the words, she naturally thought about some matters between husband and wife, and nodded in understanding. Although she was still dissatisfied with Qin Yining's estrangement, at least it was not as obvious as she found.
In the evening, it was getting dark, and if he didn't leave, there would be a curfew, so Qin Yining reluctantly said goodbye to his family and got into the carriage with Pang Xiao.
Seeing the Qin family's house door getting farther and farther away, Qin Yining sat up straight and sighed softly until she turned the corner of the street.
Pang Xiao stretched his arms around her, made her lean on his shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "I can't bear it? It's okay, anyway, our house is not far away. You can come back anytime you want in the future."
"Yeah." Qin Yining nodded lightly and said faintly, "Actually, it's not that I'm just reluctant, I just feel a little bit disappointed. When I was at home, I always felt that there were many things that I didn't like, and I thought that maybe I would leave the cabinet and leave those troubles in the future. But now that I have a new life, I still have some nostalgia for those days. It’s not that I miss being made troubled by people, but I miss that time.”
"I can understand what you said." Pang Xiao sighed softly and kissed the top of her hair, "It doesn't matter, everyone will feel this way. Memories and nostalgia are not a bad thing, but life still has to move forward. Yes. The days to come will be better and there will be more to remember.”
Big hands rubbed her back, and finally took her slender waist into his arms: "When we have children, you will be even busier."
Qin Yining was stunned when she heard the words, her face flushed red.
Yes, she didn't think much of it until she realized that they were married and would have children. They were so loving, and Bingtang showed her again, saying that although she was weak, it would not affect her fertility. If it goes on like this, maybe she will have Pang Xiao's child soon.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining blushed and felt uneasy, but there was still some expectation in her heart.
Pang Xiao lowered his head and bit her earlobe lightly.
Qin Yining's body shuddered, hurriedly backed away, covered his ears and glared at him with a blushing face, "What are you doing?"
Pang Xiao was so tickled by her blushing face that she stretched out her long arms and hugged him, urging the people outside: "Hurry up. Go back to the house before the curfew, don't delay." , but the movements of the hands are very indecent.
Qin Yining's face was flushed by his teasing, and when he returned home, he hurried back to the room first, not even daring to look up at the faces of the servants around him.
Pang Xiao, on the other hand, was leisurely and completely okay, and followed him back to his room to have a deeper communication that couldn't be done on a carriage.
Sleepless nights.
When Qin Yining got up the next day, he only felt sore and weak, and he had no strength at all. The long and lotus arm rubbed his side, only to find that the outside of the bunk bed was empty.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw the bright sky through the red veil.
"What time is it now?"
Hearing her question, Ji Yun, who was standing outside, came in and smiled: "The princess is awake, it's already time, the prince has already gone to court, but the prince does not allow the servants to disturb the princess' rest."
Qin Yining fluttered her cheeks, put on yesterday's middle clothes first, and then got up to change and wash.
When everything was in order, Bingtang brought the ginseng chicken soup simmered in the small kitchen and smiled, "The lord ordered you to make up for it." After saying that, she winked at her.
Qin Yining glared at her and drank the soup quietly.
At this moment, Xianyun's voice came from outside: "Princess, Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu are asking to see you. Report something important."
Qin Yining was stunned when he heard the words, and the relaxed and comfortable expression on his face disappeared without a trace. They are the most trusted people around Pang Xiao, and suddenly they came, there must be something important.
"Please."
Qin Yining wiped his mouth and hurriedly went to the main hall.
When Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi met Qin Yining, they saluted first and did not delay, and directly explained their intentions.
"Princess, I just arranged for a brother to come back with the tiger beside the lord to spread the word, saying that the dragon in the old capital of Dayan in the south has turned over, and the sage intends to send the lord to relieve the disaster."
