Return of the Swallow

"Sister-in-law's cold hands are frozen, why didn't you bring a hand warmer when you came out?" Mrs Sun said lightly, with a smile on her face, she stuffed her brass carved hand stove into the eldest wife, Mrs Yan, and went to hold the second wife Mrs Kong. He rubbed his hands together, helping her warm with his warm hands.

The two sisters-in-law are older than the Sun family. The family style of Dingguo's mansion is strict. The two elder brothers treat the Sun family very much. It's closer than with those concubine sisters, and it's natural to meet now.

Seeing her like this, the girls all laughed.

A fourteen-five-year-old girl wearing a blue-grey rabbit fur collar and cloak smiled and said, "Auntie, don't believe what the aunt said, as if she wasn't in a hurry. After sitting for a while, my aunt looked at the clock three or four times, and my mother said, "Sister-in-law is so anxious, she can't stay in the house, why don't you all come out and greet me, maybe I'll pick you up." Here we are, we just came out."

The girl's voice was crisp and clear, and everyone who heard it burst into laughter.

Qin Yining watched quietly from the side, as if she could feel the family's welcome to them.

There was another girl wearing a scarlet cloak just like Qin Yining, who had been staring at her for a long time with her big round eyes.

As if he couldn't help being curious, he approached Qin Yining like a small animal, his voice was a little timid, he bowed and said, "Hello, sister, I'm Sun Ling, are you Sister Yining?"

Qin Yining hurriedly returned the salute, "Hello sister Ling, I'm Yining."

Hearing the sound, Mrs Sun turned her head and said with a smile, "Look at me. When I saw my sister-in-law, I just talked and forgot to introduce me. Sister Yi, why don't you come to salute your aunt, second aunt, and cousins?"

Qin Yining smiled at Sun Ling, and saluted the eldest wife and the second wife according to the rules that Mammy Zhan taught these days.

"Old aunt and second aunt are well."

"Ouch!" The second aunt, Mrs. Kong, took Qin Yining's hands and measured it carefully, and said with a tsk tsk, "You really are a beautiful man, they all said that your seventh cousin in our manor was born beautiful, so If you compare it, you can't compare it!"

"Second aunt praised me badly. It's just that my mother cherished me and was willing to dress me up." Qin Yining smiled and lowered her eyes, her voice was soft and soft, and she looked very well-behaved and lovable.

Hearing this, Mrs Sun was very helpful, so she took Qin Yining's hand and patted it, looking like a mother and a child filial piety, without the slightest bit of cold treatment.

Qin Huining, who had been left out for a long time, watched with cold eyes as Mrs. Sun brought Qin Yining to chat with her two aunts, as if someone had poured hot oil into her heart, and it took a long while to adjust her resentment.

"Old aunt, second aunt is well." Qin Huining also saluted.

Auntie seemed to notice her just now, looked up and down at her plain clothes and bright makeup, nodded with a half-smiling smile, but didn't say much.

The second aunt looked up and down at Qin Huining's dress, and said with a smile, "Sister Hui is getting more and more beautiful."

Qin Huining was secretly delighted and said dignifiedly, "Second aunt, don't make fun of me. With Seventh cousin and Xiaoxi sister Zhuyu on the side, we are not all compared to mud pigs and puppy dogs." She said with a smile.

Although these words are modest, if other sisters are jealous, wouldn't they be hooked at this moment?

The eldest aunt and the second aunt looked at each other and said nothing.

The sisters on the side are not as easy to provoke as the girls in the Xiangfu,

They looked down as if they didn't hear.

Qin Yining was amused, knowing how the family style of Dingguo Gongfu's family, Qin Huining still came to act like this, I really don't know what to say.

Qin Huining wanted to show the harmony between the sisters, so she took Qin Yining's arm and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoxi, I'll introduce it to you."

Pointing to the girl standing beside her second aunt wearing a pink and white rabbit fur collar and cape, she said, "This is the seventh cousin, who is three years older than us, and has already made an appointment with the son of Lu Da Shi's family. Getting married."

"Hello, Seventh Cousin." Qin Yining ignored Qin Huining's address to her and saluted Miss Sun Qi with a smile.

The seventh cousin returned the salute: "Hello, sister Yining."

Qin Huining introduced the one who wore the blue cloak, the light blue one, and the one who took the initiative to talk to Qin Yining in red, and said in turn: "This is the ninth cousin, the tenth cousin and the eleventh cousin. The tenth cousin and the eleventh cousin. My cousin is also fourteen this year."

Qin Yining met with the salute in turn, and the ninth cousin, tenth cousin and eleventh cousin all returned the salute.

Miss Eleven smiled and pulled Qin Yining's cloak, looked at her own, and said with a smile, "Cousin's clothes are made of the same material as mine, which shows that we are destined." Turning her head again, Mao'ertong looked at Qin Huining, curious. He tilted his head and asked, "Could it be that Cousin Huining doesn't know Cousin Yining's name? Why is it always called 'Xiaoxi' and 'Xiaoxi'?"

Qin Huining heard the words, and the smile on her face froze. She secretly scolded Miss Eleven for being just a concubine in the long house, and even dared to embarrass her face to face.

Sun Shiben was chatting with his eldest aunt and second aunt, and he was a little dissatisfied when he heard the movement here.

The atmosphere of her mother's family is different from that of her husband's. Although it is a good thing to marry Prime Minister Qin, the atmosphere of her mother-in-law's family has always been a problem for her. Although sometimes she thinks that it's okay for her husband's family to behave like that, but she knows her mother's family People really don't like that, but Qin Huining wants to take out the set of the Xiangfu.

In the past in the prime minister's mansion, Sun didn't feel that Qin Huining called Qin Yining Xiaoxi inappropriate, but now she was standing on the ground of Dingguo Gong's mansion, but she felt angry.

However, she was not good at reprimanding Qin Huining directly in person.

At this moment, Qin Yining smiled and held Qin Huining's hand, and explained softly: "Eleven cousin doesn't know anything, I used to live abroad and was rescued by my adoptive mother. The adoptive mother picked me up by the stream, so she gave me I have a nickname called Xiaoxi. Miss Huining is a person who repays her kindness and gratitude. We have privately agreed to let her call me Xiaoxi from time to time, and you can always remind me not to forget my adoptive mother, Eighth Nurturing grace over the years."

Cousin Eleven was very moved when she heard this, and nodded with a mist in her eyes: "Sister Yining is suffering outside."

The other cousins ​​also gathered around. Although they were curious about Qin Yining's experience outside, her soft heart was also shaken by her words.

But no one remembers the hatred that Qin Huining had just pulled.

Seeing this, Mrs Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and felt very sympathetic to Qin Yining's behavior.

The aunt raised her eyebrows, and looked at Qin Yining again with Dong Ruoguan's eyes, and smiled gently.

The second aunt grabbed Sun's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go to Chunxi Hall first and then talk about it. Mother should be in a hurry now."

Mrs Sun nodded hurriedly: "That's right. If sister-in-law is cold and has a cold after standing there for a while, don't worry about me now, brother."

"You bastard! You will clamber on me for no reason! The children are all talking nonsense like this!" The aunt laughed and scolded.

The girls and the servants laughed when they saw it.

Infected by the joyful atmosphere, Qin Yining couldn't help laughing, and the group happily entered the hanging flower door.

Dingguo Gongfu is a large mansion with five rooms and seven entrances in depth. It is said that this mansion was the palace of the former dynasty, and was later awarded by the emperor for the outstanding military exploits of the ancestors of the Sun family.

Although everything has withered away in winter, the exquisite garden design in the mansion still makes Qin Yining dizzy. He can't help but imagine how beautiful the scenery here will be when summer comes.

Seeing that Qin Yining liked her, the cousins ​​all surrounded her and introduced her every word and word, as if welcoming the distinguished guests with enthusiasm, without any pretence at all.

Qin Huining followed them at this time, as if she became a foil, the smile on her face was going to freeze, but she still maintained her demeanor. It was Mama Cai and Bi Tong who were beside her who helped her and talked to her in a low voice, which relieved her depressed mood.

All the way to Chunxi Hall, where Mrs. Dingguo lived, there was a maid from afar to greet him, and another maid came in to answer.

Qin Yining had just stepped into the threshold of Chunxi Hall when he saw the sapphire blue oleander splendid warm curtain in the main room lifted up. One was wearing a dark purple wide-sleeved plain makeup robe and a purple fox fur warm hat. He was over six years old. The ten-year-old plump woman came out first, followed by the maid and the old woman who filed out and followed down the steps.

This woman was tall and slender, with new wrinkles on her face and a faint line of Sichuan characters between her brows, which made her look a little stern, but Qin Yining knew that such people usually frowned, which showed that this woman was worried a lot on weekdays. Her slender brows and those loving eyes are surging with warmth, she walks with a dignified manner, her back is straight, and she looks like a very shrewd lady.

Almost at a glance, Qin Yining can be sure that this is Mrs. Dingguo's wife, her grandmother, and then looking at Bao's mother next to her, she can be even more sure that her guess is true.

Qin Yining is looking at Dingguo's wife, and Dingguo's wife is also looking at her.

Among the girls, although Qin Yining wore a scarlet cloak like the eleventh cousin; although she did not apply any makeup, she was not as eye-catching as Qin Huining's bright red lips; although Qin Yining was not as tall as the ninth cousin.

But Mrs. Dingguo still saw her at a glance.

Not because she is an unfamiliar face, nor because she is enough to dazzle the crowd, but because of her sharp, but gentle and restrained aura.

You can tell by looking at her bright eyes that she is smart, and by looking at her posture, you can tell her manners and integrity. She is like a sheathed sword.

Dingguo Gong's wife is such a smart and well-read woman, what kind of beauty has not seen before?

At first glance, people don't pay attention to appearance.

Seeing Qin Yining like this, she was very happy, and she didn't doubt Qin Yining's identity like Sun's, but she was sure that this girl must be born by Sun's.

Her granddaughter is so excellent, how could Mrs. Dingguo not like it?

"This is Sister Yi, right? Come to my grandmother!" Mrs. Dingguo stretched out her hands and hurried up to meet her.
