"What? The Marquis of Anyang wants to accept the ninth younger sister as a righteous daughter?"
Qin Li stood up from his seat, with a look of astonishment on his face. On the main seat, Huo Huaixin nodded with a smile, "Exactly, as you know, Miss Nine has been taking care of Princess Taichang, very much for Princess Taichang and Mrs. Hou Ye." I like it, this matter is the decision made by the Taichang Princess, and the Marquis and Madam both agree with it very much—"
Qin Li came back to his senses from the shock he heard at the beginning, and he understood in his heart. Indeed, Qin Wan often went to the Hou's mansion, and the princess often came to play with Qin Wan. Qin Li calmed down, " This... This is naturally a good thing for Ninth Sister, but I don't know what the Hou Fu's plan is?"
Huo Huaixin saw that Qin Li was very up-to-date with a satisfied smile on his face, "Princess Taichang said that there should be a big banquet, but Miss Nine is about to leave, and there is really no time, so I plan to hold a feast in the Marquis Mansion tomorrow." Banquet, please invite Mrs. Qin and the second young master to the Marquis Mansion, and it will be a ceremony."
Qin Li nodded hurriedly, "Princess Taichang is considerate. If that's the case, I'll go and tell my mother."
Huo Huaixin nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I would like to ask Second Young Master to bring these gifts to Mrs. Qin for a review. I will wait for news from Second Young Master here. When you are all settled, I can return to the Hou Mansion."
Qin Li originally wanted to say that there is no need to wait for the news, but he expected that the Lin family would not say "no", but in order not to appear that the Qin family's attitude was too low, he nodded, "Okay, then I would like to ask the magistrate to wait later."
Huo Huaixin laughed, "Go ahead, it's okay."
Qin Li ordered He Xing to wait on him, and then went to Lin's courtyard with the gift brought by Huo Huaixin.
As they walked, Qin Li was secretly startled. At the moment when the Qin family was about to leave Jinzhou, the Hou family actually wanted to accept Qin Wan as a righteous daughter. It was not clear what they were thinking. This was to give Qin Wan a reliance.
Qin Li didn't dare to be careless, so he arrived outside Lin's courtyard after a while, and the servant at the door went in to report, and after a while, he walked to the gate of the courtyard and said, "Second young master, I'm really sorry, Madam is sick in bed, and I don't see anyone at this time .”
Qin Li frowned, and the corners of his lips curled up, pulling out a cool smile, "It's not that I want to see Madam, it's the magistrate who came to the door, and I have something important to say to Madam, but Madam didn't see you either." ?”
Only then did the servant see Qin Li followed by several servants holding gifts, his eyes flickered, and he hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, please wait."
After finishing speaking, the servant walked in again, and Qin Li stood at the door, sneering again and again.
He knows that his status as a concubine is disgusting, but right now he is supporting the entire Qin family, but Lin is still so indifferent, and he doesn't even think about it, why would he come to her when he has nothing to do
Qin Li thought with a little annoyance, and soon, the servant came out, "Second young master, Madam invites you in."
Qin Li sneered again in his heart before entering the room.
After entering the house, before Lin Shi came out from the inner room, Qin Li stood outside and waited, and after waiting for a while, Qin Xiang came out supporting Lin Shi, Qin Li bent over Lin Shi, "Mother-"
Qin Xiang supported Lin Shi to sit on the main seat, Lin Shi coughed lightly and asked, "Is the magistrate coming to the house?"
While speaking, Mrs. Lin glanced at the attendants standing at the door, and saw that everyone was holding gifts in their hands, and the suspicion in their eyes became even more serious. Qin Li said, "Yes, the magistrate is here to speak for the Houfu."
"Hou Mansion? Anyang Hou Mansion?" Lin's eyes lit up slightly.
Qin Li nodded, and said in a deliberate and slow tone, "It's the Anyang Houfu—"
Lin was a little anxious when she heard the words, "When is the Anyang Marquis Mansion? Do you want the magistrate to come?"
Qin Li smiled, "The Marquis of Anyang wants to accept the ninth younger sister as a righteous daughter, and he asked the magistrate to be a witness."
Lin was taken aback, and Qin Xiang, who was standing beside Lin, also frowned fiercely. After a few moments, Lin said again, "Accept... Guan'er as a righteous daughter?"
Looking at the faces of Lin's mother and daughter, Qin Li felt happy in his heart. Qin Wan used to be a person who was sunk in the mire, and he was someone they could not look down on, but now the situation is far worse than Qin Xiang's. How could Lin and Qin Xiang not be angry
"Exactly, and because the ninth sister is leaving, the Hou Mansion set the ceremony for tomorrow. In fact, there is no ceremony. Mr. Huo said that the Hou Mansion's intention is simply to do it. Mother, please go to the banquet with me." Can."
Lin's hand holding the armrest slightly clenched, subconsciously said, "It's fine, why did the Hou family accept Guan'er as a righteous daughter?" Lin's eyes rolled, "I'm afraid I have to ask the big house about this matter. the meaning of… "
Qin Li frowned immediately, "Why is mother so confused!"
If it was in the past, Qin Li would definitely not dare to talk to Lin Shi like this, but now it is different, he is the head of the Qin family, and he is also dissatisfied with Lin Shi's attitude towards him, so naturally his face turns cold.
Lin's complexion changed slightly when Qin Li's words choked him. Before he could speak, Qin Li continued, "In these few years, has Dafang been in charge of Jiumeimei? Dafang is not Jiumei's biological parents, and we and Jiumei What's more, Jiumei is in Jinzhou now, so the Hou Mansion naturally recognizes us as Jiumei's elders. Although the eldest son is here, it is impossible for the Hou Mansion not to know. The Hou Mansion knows, but this time they did not invite them. Why? Do you mean it? Isn’t it because the prince is also a junior who can’t afford to be a favor of the Hou family in the eyes of the Hou family?”
After a pause, Qin Li said solemnly, "It is Jiumei's blessing for Jiumei to have the blue eyes of the Hou's mansion, and it is also a blessing for our Qin's mansion. With Jiumei's relationship, the Hou's mansion will definitely treat us more in the future." With a caregiver, we can be regarded as having contact with the Hou Mansion, the magistrate is still waiting in the main hall, if my mother pushes back and has other thoughts at this time, she will be a little ignorant."
Has Lin ever been said so by Qin Li, and the last "ignorance of flattery" is clearly Qin Li's accusation against her, Lin's heart is filled with anger, but Qin Li's words seem to be correct, looking at her straight back and serious face It was the first time that Lin realized that the Qin family had changed masters, and even if Jiang went, she would not be able to pass.
Thinking of this, Lin closed her eyes slightly, and said in a cool voice, "The second young master has his own attention now, so let's do as the second young master wants, and go to the banquet tomorrow."
With that said, Lin opened her eyes and stood up, and walked into the inner room with Qin Xiang's support.
Qin Li also stood up, and said with a smile, "Mother is right, these gifts are given to mother—"
Seeing Mrs. Lin enter the inner room without looking back, Qin Li sneered, and pointed to the table not far away, "Let Madam put it down."
After speaking, he turned and left.
As soon as he walked into the inner room, Qin Xiang's face darkened, "Mother, how could the Hou Mansion accept her as a righteous daughter?! The Hou Mansion's adopted daughter is almost the same as the princess! Really—"
Qin Xiang's voice was gloomy, and jealousy was beyond words, and Lin's brows were also frowned. Among the three sisters of Qin Wan, Qin Xiang was originally the most honorable, but if Qin Wan became the adopted daughter of the Hou's mansion, Qin Xiang would be far away from her. She was left behind, and Qin Wan's appearance was already above Qin Xiang, if even her status...
Lin walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, her eyes were full of worry, "Xiang'er, this is the end, there is nothing we can do."
Qin Xiang sat beside Lin, squinting his eyes and sneering, "It's really a good trick, coaxing everyone to hug her, so what if you recognize Lord Hou as a foster father, when you get to the capital, it's not too late."
Lin Shi held Qin Xiang's hand tightly, and her eyes blushed slightly as she thought of something, "Xiang'er, do you know what you are going to do when you enter the capital this time?"
Qin Xiang's eyes flickered when he heard the words, "Daughter... I don't know..."
Lin sighed, "I didn't want to tell you this, but I don't tell you that you don't know, Xiang'er, this time I go to the capital, Dafang probably wants to kiss you and your two younger sisters."
Qin Xiang said that he didn't know, but when he heard this, he was not surprised. Lin Shi held her hand tightly and said, "Xiang'er, listen to your mother, from the moment you leave Qin's mansion, don't fight with your ninth sister. To get along well with her, talk to your third brother more along the way, your third brother is the future Lord of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, even now he is a good friend, he has old friends with your ninth younger sister, now you have to Let her like you too. When you arrive in the capital, try to please your aunt and eighth younger sister. When it comes to kissing, your aunt will see each other and your uncle will make the decision. In short, when you arrive in the capital, you must not be too sharp. .”
Qin Xiang's heart was full of bitterness and unwillingness to hear these words. She was originally the most favored eldest daughter in the Qin family. Regardless of her background, appearance or appearance, she would be enough for the young talents in the south to come to ask for marriage. Isn't she very special? To go to the capital, there are also many high-ranking and powerful clans in the south, but now, the Qin family has plummeted, and the only way is to go to the capital.
Since she was a child, she only had to coax Qin Shuang to make her support her. But now, her mother actually asked her to seek peace with that lowly person who had been bullied by her in every possible way, and asked her to please others everywhere.
Qin Xiang was suffocating with anger and didn't know how to attack it. Looking at Lin's reddish eye sockets and wrinkled face, she didn't even have the confidence to attack. Her mother was too incompetent, and she didn't have a strong outside family, let alone a powerful father, on the contrary, her father is still her stain, thinking this way, Qin Xiang put all the resentment and hatred on Qin Wan.
"Xiang'er, did you hear..."
Lin Shi squeezed Qin Xiang's hand hard, which made her frown in pain.
Qin Xiang came back to his senses and nodded quickly, "I heard it."
Lin put her arms around Qin Xiang and cried softly, "Mother can't do anything, other than giving you mother's dowry, I can't help you, Xiang'er, you have to fight for your mother, and you have to fight for yourself."
Qin Xiang nodded bitterly, thinking that Qin Wan would become the righteous daughter of the Marquis of Anyang tomorrow, and frowned fiercely.
…
…
When it was dark, the post from the Hou Mansion was delivered to Ting Lanyuan, and Fu Ling entered the main room with a smile on her face, "Miss, the time is set at Weishi tomorrow, let's go there early—"
Qin Wan had finished washing and washing, and was only wearing a moon white underwear. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Go with Madam."
After a pause, Qin Wan asked again, "What did Madam say?"
Fu Ling snorted softly, "What else can I say? Naturally, I won't say 'no'."
Qin Wan didn't say anything else, at this moment, there was a soft knock on the courtyard door outside, and Fu Ling went out, only to see that Wan Xing had already opened the courtyard door, and there were Qin Li and two servants standing outside the door.
Seeing this, Fu Ling hurriedly walked towards the door, "Why is Second Young Master here?"
Qin Li glanced at the main room, the corners of his lips slightly curved, "Tomorrow is not a casual occasion, the time is too urgent, I only have time to go to Jinxiufang to buy a set of dresses they made, fortunately there is Ninth Sister The size of my body, this dress is almost the same as that of Jiumei, and I also prepared a set of Hongbao headgear."
After saying that, the two servants at the back handed over the box, and Fu Ling hurriedly said, "How can I make the second young master spend money, the second young master wants to come in and talk to the young lady?"
Qin Li waved his hand, "No need, let your young lady rest earlier."
Fu Ling hesitated a bit, "But this—"
"Accept it. She didn't want the money I gave her last time. This is all my heart."
Fu Ling stood silently, Qin Li took the box with her own hands and handed it to Fu Ling, and put another box in Wan Xing's bosom, then turned around and left, only after seeing Qin Li walk more than ten steps did Fu Ling react, He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Second Young Master."
Qin Li beckoned without looking back, Fu Ling then closed the courtyard door, and went to the main room with Wan Xing.
Qin Wan had heard the commotion outside a long time ago, and seeing Fu Ling come back with two boxes in her arms, she asked, "Second brother is here?"
Fu Ling nodded, and Wan Xing put down the box one after another.
Fuling said again, "It is said that I just went to Jinxiufang to buy it this afternoon, and there is also a set of red buns." After speaking, Fuling opened the box, and saw that the jewelry box containing red treasures was shining brightly, while the dresses The box inside was a set of tea-white wide-sleeved pleated long skirt with a white orchid pattern embroidered with silver thread.
"Second Young Master really put a lot of thought into it. This outfit is really suitable for Miss. I also have this set of red treasures. I'm afraid it's not just a temporary purchase..."
Qin Wan stepped forward to take a look, and sighed softly in his heart, the consultation fees are a bit expensive.
Fu Ling brought the gift in without asking Qin Wan. She was afraid that Qin Wan would not like it, so she asked tentatively, "Miss...you will..."
"Just wear this." Qin Wan said lightly.
Fu Ling's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she responded crisply.
After noon on the second day, Qin Wan packed up and went to the front yard. When he arrived at the front yard, he saw Qin Li changed into a luxurious white robe, which was rare. He originally had a slightly gloomy smile. Always in love with blue and other gloomy colors, this new white clothes dispelled the gloom on his body. The whole person is much clearer and more handsome, when Fu Ling saw Qin Li, she was stunned.
"Miss, it really is that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles."
Fuling muttered something in a low voice, but Qin Li looked at Qin Wanfang with truly amazed eyes. Qin Wan put on the dress he bought. , such a clear and spiritual color fits Qin Wan's noble temperament, and the blue pattern embroidered with silver thread on it adds a bit of gentleness. In addition, Qin Wan has a good figure, this skirt is worn on her body, especially Showing off her graceful and graceful appearance, Qin Li sighed in his heart, Qin Wan's color is really hard to rely on.
"Second Brother—" Qin Wan blessed the body, "Thank you Second Brother."
Qin Li knew what she was thanking for, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for what, it's all from my family, so I can feel at ease when you accept these things. We will be here in a while, mother will be here soon."
Just as she was talking, Mrs. Lin came slowly, supported by two servants, because she was going to the Marquis's Mansion for a banquet. Today, Mrs. Lin also changed into new clothes and put on some powder, her sick face was covered by the powder, and she was far away. It seems that Mrs. Lin is still the noble wife of Mrs. Qin.
"Mother-"
"Third Aunt—"
Qin Li and Qin Wan stepped forward to salute one after another, Lin's lips curled into a thin smile, and he extended his hand to Qin Wan kindly, Qin Wan hurriedly stepped forward to support Lin, Qin Li hummed secretly when he saw Lin He let out a sigh, but felt much more at ease in his heart. This time, he was going to the Marquis's Mansion for a banquet. If the Lin family behaved poorly, it would be embarrassing to Qin Wan, and embarrassing Qin Wan would be embarrassing him.
Lin took Qin Wan's hand, coughed twice and said, "Good boy, it's your luck that the Hou family values you."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curved slightly, "It's Lord Hou and his wife who are kind to others."
"Even if you are kind, you don't easily accept someone as a foster daughter. You are a lucky one. In the future, you must remember to be filial to your adoptive father and adoptive mother." Lin's tone was gentle, just like the one she used to serve in front of Jiang. look.
Qin Guan responded, and the group of people went to the gate of the house to take a carriage. They had prepared three carriages, but before the carriages, Lin said, "Let Guan'er come with me, so we don't have to arrange so many carriages." It's a horse."
Qin Wan had no choice but to get into the first carriage with Lin, and when the carriage started to move, Lin began to talk to Qin Wan one after another, first asking about the daily life of the Hou Mansion, asking about the preferences of the Taichang Princess, and then Asked on the sidelines if the Hou family would leave Jinzhou and go back to the capital, Qin Wan answered if it was not important, and bypassed those who didn't want to answer. At the end, Lin suddenly took Qin Wan's hand and said, "Guan'er, you Although you are one year younger than Xiang'er and Shuang'er, you are the calmest among the three of you, and since you are about to leave, I have to entrust you to take care of the two of them."
Qin Wan blinked, "Third Aunt praised her absurdly. In terms of calmness, I'm still not as good as Fifth Sister."
Lin sighed, "Xiang'er looks less lively than Shuang'er, but he's actually quite careless. I'm very worried along the way. You've been in the capital before, but Xiang'er and Shuang'er has not, I am afraid that the two of them will not be familiar with the place of life in the capital, and they will not be used to it, and then it will be up to you."
Qin Wan lowered her eyes for a moment, "We sisters naturally take care of each other, please rest assured, Third Aunt."
After saying this, Lin exhaled slowly, "Okay, okay, I feel relieved with your words."
Lin Shi sighed, and then turned to Qin Chen, her voice choked up for a while, as if she didn't remember that Qin Chen had harmed Qin Wan at all, Qin Wan just listened indifferently, seeing that Qin Wan didn't talk much to Lin Shi , and then stopped, turning his eyes, Lin said again, "I remember that after your parents left, the property of the second room was stored in the clan. I don't know what your uncle said?"
When Qin Wan heard this, she had some doubts. Miss Nine was only nine years old when her parents passed away. Naturally, she couldn't take charge of the family property. Now Lin asked, how should she answer? Qin Wan rolled her eyes, "It happened many years ago, and I also forgot..."
Lin's eyes dimmed, "I remember that Erfang's property was not small back then, and I don't know what's going on now."
Qin Wan didn't care about these things. When she returned to the capital, the first thing she did was to find a way to find out about her father's case. She was well aware of the difficulty of this matter, so she never thought of fighting for her own family property.
Seeing that Qin Wan didn't answer, Lin fell silent, and after a while, the carriage stopped steadily in front of Hou's mansion.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Yue Ning's voice sounded.
"Here it comes, hurry up and tell the old lady—"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips were slightly curved, and he lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Yue Ning immediately greeted him, "Why don't you come earlier."
As soon as the words fell, she saw Mrs. Lin walking out of the carriage. Qin Wan gave her a hand. After Mrs. Lin stood still on the ground, she relaxed slightly, "Princess—"
Yue Ning looked at Qin Wan, then at Lin Shi, smiled and avoided Lin Shi's courtesy, "Madam, please come in quickly."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Li also came up from behind. He saluted Yue Ning very respectfully, and his words and deeds were quite elegant. Yue Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled, "There is no need to be too polite today, please Come in, Grandmother and Father and Mother are waiting."
Mrs. Lin pulled Qin Wan very affectionately. Qin Wan knew what Mrs. Lin was thinking, so she followed her for the time being, and the group of them soon entered the Hou's Mansion. For the face of the Qin family, the two of them kept their eyes on each other and were courteous. After a while, the two were brought to the flower hall where they met today's guests.
Although it was not a grand banquet, Qin Wan could tell that these halls had been newly decorated, and the bonsai placed inside and outside were also new. Qin Wan was moved by these details, and gave Princess Taichang a few words as soon as she entered the hall. People salute.
In the main hall, Princess Taichang was sitting first, Yue Qiong and his wife were on the left, and Huo Huaixin and his wife were on the right. They were laughing and talking about something. As soon as Qin Wan entered the room, Yue Qiong and his wife and Huo Huaixin and his wife hurriedly stood up.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Taichang Princess—greetings to Lord Hou—"
Lin Shifu saluted, Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, Taichang Princess smiled and said, "Don't stick to these etiquette today, we will be together because of Wan girl, and it will be counted in the future." Get close, girl Wan, come here..."
Only then did Qin Wan leave Lin's side. Qin Li also greeted him here. He was a junior, and Yue Qiong and others accepted his gift. I looked her up and down for a few moments, and didn't say that she was beautiful today, but just nodded repeatedly, "Well... very good... very good..."
Yue Qing and Yue Jia were also in the room, so Princess Taichang smiled and said, "You two take the second young master out to play for a while, and Ning'er and Wan girl talk to my old lady for a while, Jingshu, take Mrs. Huo with you. Let's go drink some tea with the people of the Qin family, the auspicious time is still early, everyone is more casual, as for Qiong'er, let's go to the study with Master Huo."
The Taichang Princess gave the order, and the others naturally responded. Yue Qing was unhappy in his heart, but Yue Jia was able to handle it freely and asked Qin Li to go out to the martial arts field to perform martial arts. Qin Li was worthy, although he was not very good at martial arts He is good at it, but he doesn't want to disappoint, and although Lin has been to the Hou's mansion before and met Jiang face to face, he has never talked closely with Jiang. Jiang shi spoke like a golden orchid in his girlfriend, so it was inevitable that he couldn't cope with it.
And Yuanshi who came with Huo Huaixin was even more annoyed. She was in the inner house, and she had heard about Qin Wan and her son for a long time. Not only that, she vetoed the matter once she heard about it. And Qin Wan is regarded as a person who is overconfident and self-confident, because although Qin Wan is from the Qin family, his parents are both deceased. On the table, Yuanshi is even more displeased.
But the moment Qin Wan came in just now, Yuan's eyes widened in a daze. If he hadn't known in advance what he was here for today, Yuan would almost have thought that Qin Wan was some princess from the capital. Princess, not to mention the Jinzhou Qin Mansion, but the entire Jinzhou. Is there any family whose daughter can compare to Qin Wan's appearance and demeanor
There were mixed feelings in Yuan's heart, and when he heard that his son had come in, he changed his mind, and immediately regretted it for a while, and the Hou family also accepted Qin Wan as a righteous daughter. In this way, Qin Wan was impeccable, let alone Entering her Huo family as a daughter-in-law, even marrying the Prince of Qin would be very suitable...
Yuan Shi was sitting opposite Jiang Shi, she was more familiar with Jiang Shi than Lin Shi, but she was obviously a little listless, the three of them talked and laughed, she had a bright smile on her face, but her heart was as bitter as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis.
On this side, Princess Taichang looked at Qin Wan and asked softly, "Seeing how kind Mrs. Lin treats you, I don't know if it's true or not?"
When Princess Taichang said this, there was a two-pointed cunning in her eyes, as if she had already seen through Mrs. Lin, Qin Wan couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this, and said tactfully, "Half-truth-"
The Taichang Princess snorted softly, "I knew it."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry about Princess Taichang, she also has her difficulties."
Princess Taichang raised her jaw, "What do I have in mind with her, but if she really treats you well, I won't treat her badly. Since it's half-truth and half-false right now, the courtesies of the Marquis Mansion are naturally thoughtful and perfect." gone."
Yue Ning smiled, looked at Qin Wan and said, "What are you worried about? Grandmother knows best about this. Besides, the Qin family is in such a state right now. Grandmother will naturally not make things worse for them."
Qin Wan pursed her lips, "I'm narrow-minded."
Princess Taichang shook her head and sighed, "You are too kind, but there is no need to haggle with them for this kind of thing. God has already punished you for watching a good life go bad."
Speaking of seeing a servant come in to serve tea, the Taichang Princess was busy sitting in a dignified manner, Qin Wan and Yue Ning looked at each other and just wanted to laugh, Yue Ning sighed, "After my grandmother recovered, she has become an old naughty child." gone."
Princess Taichang snorted softly, "I, I see it away. In the past, I just let myself go, but after all, there are many rules to follow. Now, I don't care about those many."
The three of them were talking, and after a while, Yang Xi came in to report that the auspicious time was coming.
Upon hearing this, Princess Taichang ordered people to invite everyone back, and an auspicious case had been arranged in the main hall. Five animals were offered to worship the ancestors of the Yue family, and the cauldron made smoke. Seeing this formation, the Lin family knew The government will recognize the importance of women.
Huo Huaixin presided over the ceremony, and first read a section of auspicious words, and then let Qin Wan kowtow in front of the ancestors of the Yue family, and then kowtowed and served tea to Princess Taichang sitting on the first seat and Yue Qiong and his wife. Qin Wan obediently called out "Father and mother," Qin Wan didn't know how to call when she came to Princess Taichang, but Jiang smiled and said, "Silly boy, I call you grandma."
Qin Wan's face flushed slightly, and she softly called grandma, Qin Wan's heart ached when she called grandma, she must know that her father's mother died early in the past, she never had a grandmother, and the princess was too long He treats her most kindly, and she spends more time with Princess Taichang, so this relationship is naturally more unusual.
The eyes of the Taichang Princess were full of sighs, and she ordered someone to bring up an ebony box, "This is a gift prepared for you by me and your adoptive father and mother, you take it."
Yang Xi personally held the box and handed it over, "Miss Si, please put it away."
This "Miss Four" can be said to be in response to Qin Wan's identity. Qin Wan took the box and felt that it was not settled. It seemed that there was no gem or jade inside. Lin and Huo Huaixin looked at it in their hearts. I doubt it, the gift given by such a righteous woman is naturally expensive, but the box in Qin Wan's hand is not big, is it full of gems
Thinking about it this way, seeing how Qin Wan was holding the box, it didn't seem to be heavy.
Several people were slightly puzzled, but Huo Huaixin, who was well-informed, had already realized that there was probably something more than a box of gems in the box.
"Thank you grandma, thank you stepfather and stepmother."
After Qin Wan saluted, Yue Jia smiled and said, "Fourth sister, this is my gift."
Yue Jia has a mellow and upright personality, very much like Yue Qiong, and looks like an elder brother. What he prepared for Qin Wan was an extremely dark inkstone, which must have been carefully selected from his collection. Wan took it and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, brother."
After the words fell, Yue Qing had to come forward. After two days, his expression had calmed down. Seeing Qin Wan's delicate and beautiful face, he touched his nose in embarrassment, "What, fourth sister, I don't have those good things from them, these medical books here are for you, the gift is lighter, don't be offended."
As he said that, the young man behind handed over a package. Qin Wan saw at a glance that there were more than a dozen medical books inside, and all the medical books were in a yellowed state. At first glance, they were ancient books. Qin Wan suddenly felt a little ashamed. .
She remembered the last time Yue Qing wanted to send her medical books, but she refused. The medical books were sent out after all, but it was different from the original intention. Wan sighed in his heart but didn't show it on the surface, he only raised his lips and said, "Thank you, Second Brother, sister must study these books carefully!"
Yue Qing exhaled, his eyes were forced to be clear, and before he could speak, Yue Ning pulled Qin Wan over, "Fourth sister, call me sister, I will give you a gift after you call—"
Yue Ning spoke in a bold voice, holding Qin Wan's shoulders with one hand, like a man. Hearing her words, the Taichang Princess and the Jiang family both laughed, and the Taichang Princess laughed and scolded, "Where did you learn this gangster attitude!"
Yue Ning took out an extremely exquisite sleeve arrow from her sleeve, "Should I call it?"
Qin Wan couldn't stop laughing, although she was asked to call her sister, but she obeyed with a look of being helpless against Yue Ning, "Call me... good sister... just give the gift to my sister..."
Qin Wan said in a soft tone, goosebumps arose in her heart, but seeing Yue Ning laughing loudly, she could only cry and sigh, Yue Ning was satisfied, "Here, I will teach you how to use it later, and you can carry it with you." Take it with you to defend yourself!"
Seeing this, Jiang had no choice but to shake his head, "Your elder brother and second elder brother gave you elegant things, but your older sister gave you such a weapon of war. You really..."
Huo Huaixin hurriedly said, "Master Hou's mansion is full of heroes, even the princess is a woman!"
Yue Ning was very satisfied with these words, and didn't care about Jiang's words at all. Princess Taichang didn't think it was a bad idea. Seeing that the etiquette was almost over, she hurriedly greeted everyone to the banquet, and when she sat at the table, Qin Wan couldn't help but look around. Look, everyone was here, but Yan Chi was the only one missing. Qin Wan didn't want to ask directly, but felt that something was missing from today's happy and happy banquet.
As soon as the banquet was in, Qin Wan toasted Princess Taichang and the others before starting together. While praising Qin Wan, Huo Huaixin said casually, "The man who was recently arrested recruited another place, and even involved the west side A deputy general of the garrison, His Highness set off to fetch people last night, and I don’t know if he can come back today.”
Princess Taichang snorted softly when she heard this, "I'm afraid he's afraid of making me unhappy when he comes back."
These words were without reason, but Huo Huaixin was terrified when he heard them all at once. He didn't say that it was Yan Chi who brought up the adoption of the adoptive daughter. Yesterday he was complacent and felt that he had contributed to a good thing, but he realized it later He clearly became Yan Chi's flag, he only felt that the flattering words were impeccable, but Yan Chi had already seen his intentions, and was taken advantage of within a few words.
Huo Huaixin's face burned and his heart felt guilty, his heart trembled when he thought of Yan Chi, and he was even more thinking, did Princess Taichang know
The Taichang Princess didn't give everyone a chance to ask questions, so she changed the subject and said something else. Qin Wan didn't take it seriously for a while, and just accompanied the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves. After leaving, Mrs. Lin was finally able to talk to Mrs. Jiang normally after this communication, and she also felt somewhat honored when she left.
On the way back, Mrs. Lin looked at the black sandalwood box in Qin Wan's hand and said, "I don't know what the Taichang Princess gave you? Why don't Guan'er open it and have a look, it must be something very thoughtful..."
Qin Wan knew what Lin meant, and although she felt that Lin was rude, she was also very curious, and the things Taichang Princess prepared were naturally not shameful, so Qin Wan raised her hand and opened the box.
As soon as the box was opened, the first thing that came into view was a stack of papers. Qin Wan blinked, thinking it might be a bank note, but when she took a closer look, she found that it was a house deed. There was a huge shock, the house deed was located in the capital city, and there were many sheets of paper under the house deed, Qin Wan opened another one, and it turned out to be another house deed.
Qin Wan closed the box with a "snap", which was far more valuable than a box of silver notes.
When Lin saw the house deed, she still wanted to read the next one, but Qin Wan closed the box, "Why don't you read it..."
Qin Wan bent her lips, "It's very dark here, I'll take a closer look when I get back."
Even if she knew that Qin Wan was making an excuse, Lin couldn't open her mouth anymore. She clutched her cuffs tightly, and the sourness in her heart welled up again. What the Hou Mansion gave to Qin Wan turned out to be a mansion in the capital! How could that be compared to a box of gems
Thinking of her Qin Xiang, Lin's heart ached for a while, and she didn't say a word along the way. When she reached the gate of the mansion, she hurriedly got out of the car and entered the mansion without looking back. Qin Wan just pretended not to see it, but Qin Li sent Qin Wan back to the gate of the courtyard along the way. Before leaving, Qin Li sighed, "Second brother is relieved to see that the Hou family loves sister Chongjiu so much."
The night had slowly fallen, and a secluded lamp under the corridor of the main house had been lit in Tinglan Garden. Qin Li seemed to be very impressed, but he didn't know where to start, and stood for a few more moments. Is it to say goodbye? left.
Qin Wan watched Qin Li leave and turned into the courtyard, Wan Xing waited at the door, and sent Qin Wan to the door of the main room, Fu Ling went to light the lamp in the corner, her face was still full of joy, "Miss, these Where are the things?"
"Put it in the inner room, and take all of these with you."
Fu Ling responded and went to the inner room, but Qin Wan subconsciously walked towards the Nuan Pavilion, but as soon as he reached the door of the Nuan Pavilion, Qin Wan stopped hard - in the supposedly empty Nuan Pavilion, there was someone standing silently.
Qin Wan was not frightened at all, she just calmed down for a moment, and then looked at the closed doors and windows around with some doubts, "How did Your Highness come in?"
