"I know you love your daughter." The old lady laughed: "I just thought that there are now two less people in Sister Yi's house, and I wanted to order someone to choose a good one from Cixiao Garden and give it to Sister Yi. Now you have Think about it, that's fine."
Qin Yining ignored Qin Huining's eyes as if he was about to eat himself, and saluted happily: "Thank you old lady, thank you father."
Even if she resisted.
She wants to make Sydney Court into a solid iron bucket, how can there be more people around
But her father made a face for her, and she couldn't help but praise her. When people come, they come, and when they look back, they can do whatever they want, so there's no need to make the father unhappy in person.
Qin Huaiyuan is now in good spirits when it comes to happy events, and everything he sees is pleasing to the eye. Seeing Qin Yining's happy thanks, he has experienced the satisfaction of being a father for his children for the first time in many years, and his mood is more and more happy.
After chatting a few more words, when the auspicious time came, everyone went to kowtow to the ancestors according to their identities and generations.
Qin Yining naturally lined up with the girls. The girls knelt for two lines, held incense in both hands, and respectfully kowtowed to the ancestor's tablet, then bowed to the incense one by one and then exited.
After all the ceremonies were over, the men all went to the outer courtyard.
The old lady said: "You all go back to yourselves. The eldest master is going to entertain guests in the mansion to thank his colleagues. You should be careful and don't collide with the distinguished guests."
The women responded in unison: "Yes."
The second lady thought for a while, then smiled: "Uncle is now the master of the crown prince, so His Highness the crown prince must also be present at the banquet, right?"
The old lady smiled and shook her head: "The prince will wait for three days. The prince will come to visit the master in person. We will be busy by then."
"Prince came to the door?!" The third wife smiled and clapped her hands: "Oh! That's how respectable! Thanks to the uncle, our family has such a glory."
The old lady was overjoyed by what she said, and the wrinkles on her face were laughed a few more.
The second lady also took Qin Yining's shoulder: "So I said, our sister Yi is a little lucky star. After returning home, good things will come one after another, right?"
The sisters all laughed in agreement.
Qin Huining heard the words and clenched her fists. What does this mean? Could it be that because she was a direct daughter, her father was not regarded as a grand master
The old lady nodded in agreement, folded her hands and bowed in the direction of the ancestral hall, and said, "I also noticed that since Sister Yi came back, the eldest's career has gone smoothly, and thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, our family's lost flesh and blood You can find a needle in a haystack like this."
The second lady and the third lady followed the old lady's style and worshiped thrice devoutly.
The third wife smiled and said, "Come on, there are a lot of things in the house today, let's go back to the yard. Mother, the second sister-in-law and I will take you back."
The old lady nodded.
Mother Qin had already asked the stout old woman to carry the small sedan chair and waited on the old lady to sit on the sedan chair. The second lady and the third lady accompanied their maids all the way and left the ancestral hall first.
Seeing the elders leave, the girls went all the way to the inner house.
The third and eighth misses have been close to Qin Yining since they came, and they talked and laughed as usual along the way. The seventh miss was not familiar with Qin Yining, but it could be seen that she was more respectful and enthusiastic than before.
Qin Huining and Sixth Miss walked behind them, watching a few people circle around Qin Yining like the stars and the moon, and they couldn't help feeling sour.
Miss Six sneered: "No matter how noble your status is, it's not because the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and her personal maid is a thief. This time, I can't rely on the aunt's head to go up, right? People are by your side now. It's been a long time."
The originally happy atmosphere was broken by Miss Liu's words.
Qin Huining took Miss Six's arm and shook it: "Shuangjie, don't say that, let's go back." When he spoke, he looked timidly in Qin Yining's direction, as if he was afraid of being bullied.
Seeing Qin Huining like this, Miss Six instantly made up a lot of pictures of Qin Yining oppressing Qin Huining, making Qin Huining more and more unhappy.
"Don't be afraid, there are always people who don't follow the trend, you still have me!"
Qin Huining held Miss Six's hand gratefully, her eyes were rippling, as if she was about to cry.
Qin Yining and the third, seventh, and eighth misses exchanged glances, and the four of them tacitly walked forward.
When Qin Huining and Miss Six looked forward, they had already walked ten steps away.
Miss Six was furious, "How dare she ignore me!"
Qin Yining said to Miss San at the front, "Let's do whatever they want. Do you want to surrender your identity to quarrel with them?"
Miss San nodded in agreement: "Today, Uncle's banquet is worse than less. Fourth sister don't take it to heart, it's important to live in peace."
Qin Yining made fun of the third lady: "That's why I said that the third sister is the most virtuous one, and I will be blessed to build the Anbo mansion in the future."
The third lady's face was flushed red, she pinched Qin Yining's face and said: "Don't laugh at me, I will do three, you will do four, and you will be the next. The family must be rich or expensive, and there is still time to laugh at me."
Miss Seven and Miss Eight also laughed.
The eighth lady said: "What the third sister said is that I have heard people speculate that the fourth sister will be the crown princess in the future."
Miss Qi also nodded, "That's right. Now, with your family background, being the crown prince and concubine is the right match. I heard that the prince is gentle and elegant. He is a very refined person, and he is good at calligraphy and painting. Although there is a side concubine, the side concubine is a side concubine after all. The prince will inherit the throne in the future, and the Zhengfei will be the queen. "
"Oh, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are, the emperor is in good health, look at what you said." Qin Yining went to scratch the itch of Miss Qi: "I should tell Mammy Zhan all this, look at Zhan Mammy won't hit you."
The third, seventh, and eighth misses Qin Yining said in the first half of the sentence froze in their hearts, thinking that she had made a slip of the tongue. It would be disrespectful to spread these words out.
The latter words are stubborn words, intending to bring the topic to the fore. Miss Qi then started laughing with Qin Yining, secretly sighing that Qin Yining thought deeply and cleverly, but she got closer to Qin Yining psychologically.
It was not until they reached the fork that Qin Yining said goodbye to them and returned to the Sydney Courtyard.
Everything was the same in the Sydney courtyard, except that Rui Lan was missing.
After seeing Mama Zhan, Qin Yining went back to her room to sit and rest.
Qiu Lu and Liu Ya were serving by their side, Qiu Lu was the same as usual, but Liu Ya was a little unhappy.
She used to be a third-class maid next to the young lady, and Liu Ya has the heart to go up, but now the two second-class people who are on top of her are gone. If you really know how to do things, you should immediately mention those around them to the next level. Unexpectedly, the girl from her family was locked up and did not speak, but she asked the one from the study in the outer courtyard to take the lead.
Moreover, Yaoqin and Yuqi are both first-class maids, higher than Ruilan and Yuxiang in the past!
Liu Ya felt that it was a fire, and it would take her to get out of it sooner or later.
Qin Yining played with the tea bowl and seemed to be staring at the lattice window in a daze, but he could clearly see Liu Ya's slightly dissatisfied expression.
She didn't quite understand what happened to Liu Ya, but she didn't want to see the people around her with a dark face. So he said, "Liu Ya go and rest first. Qiu Lu stays."
Liu Ya felt a resentment in her heart, there was no one around, and the young lady still refused to use her.
Don't pull it! She was happy to take a break! Anyway, they are all third-class, and if you do more things, you will not get more monthly money!
Liu Ya bowed and turned away.
When only Qin Yining and Qiu Lu were left in the house, Qiu Lu said, "Girl don't know her in the same way."
"I don't care, I just don't know what happened to her. What happened these days?"
Qiu Lu shook his head: "Apart from the matter of Sister Ruilan, there is nothing to do, girl, how is Sister Ruilan now? Everyone said that she was beaten to death. You are not at home, and the servants are banned from going out. , although Madam Zhan can move around, but the servants do not dare to ask."
Qin Yining laughed, took Qiu Lu's hand and said, "Don't worry, Rui Lan is now recovering from her injuries at the Tayun Inn, and she is with Miss Tang. I have one more thing to do, and maybe I need your help."
Qiu Lu's expression froze when she heard the words, and she said, "If you have something to do, the servant will never give up."
"It's not sure yet, I'm just guessing. Today, my father's banquet colleagues, I think, there must be Qingliu people among them. Now that I have taken in Miss Tang, the Qingliu people must know, based on their understanding of Tang The girl's concern will definitely take some action. I want to take advantage of this..." Qin Yining whispered a few words in Qiu Lu's ear.
Qiu Lu's eyes widened in surprise: "Girl, is this okay?"
"What's wrong? I don't harm innocent people, but people who really have bad intentions can't escape."
The voice fell, and Liu Ya's voice came from outside: "Girl, someone came to give you a gift."
Qiu Lu's eyes became more round, "Girl, your guess is too accurate!"
What Qin Yining just said was that there must be someone giving gifts today.
Qin Yining smiled and asked Qiu Lu to help Liu Ya take the ceremony.
What was sent was a picture scroll. Qin Yining unfolded the picture and was stunned when he saw it.
Isn't this painting the "Eight Horses" hanging in Prince Ning's mansion? Flattening the painting on the table of the Eight Immortals, Qin Yining flicked his fingertips across the painting, and finally landed on the signature in the lower left corner.
I saw this painting in the Ning Wang Mansion that day, and there was no signature on it.
But now, the painting has been signed and stamped, and it is all written: "Qingyan Lay".
Anyone who has a little common sense will know the name of the lay master of Qingyan. Qin Yining didn't understand it before, but Zhan Ma also told her about it later.
His Royal Highness was fascinated by calligraphy and painting, and was a famous master of calligraphy and painting. "Qingyan Jushi" is the self-title that His Royal Highness used to sign the calligraphy and painting, which means "when the Qinghai feasts, the four seas rise to peace".
This painting was actually made by the prince!
Liu Ya said with a smile at this time: "Girl, the person who came to deliver the paintings from Prince Ning's mansion is still waiting in the outer courtyard, saying that His Royal Highness Prince Ning has something to say to the girl."
Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly: "Got it. Qiu Lu accompanies me out."
When someone from Prince Ning's mansion came, she must have wanted to see him.
