Return of the Swallow

Chapter 22 Compensation

Qin Huining's words moved the old lady.

There are a lot of girls in the family, and the third young lady will be married soon, and the marriage with the second master of Jian’an’s house has already been said to be inseparable. The girls are really good.

What's difficult is that the Empress said that she wanted to let Mother Zhan teach Qin Yining, but she didn't want to bring anyone else. If they were very familiar with Zhan Ma, and they brought some gold and silver with them, they would not be afraid that she should not go down. She would also drive a sheep on the left and right, and a group of sheep would also be released, but they were not familiar with each other. mouth.

Moreover, the queen personally sent a nanny to teach a daughter of a courtier's family. This kind of honor is rare. This is the grace that the eldest room alone received, and there is no reason for other rooms to get a share.

The old lady was in a dilemma for a while, and she wanted to benefit her granddaughters, but she didn't want to offend the people above.

"Old lady." While the old lady was contemplating, Mother Qin came in with a smile and said, "The third lady is here."

The old lady raised her eyebrows and knocked on her cigarette bag beside the small white porcelain bowl. The brass and the white porcelain made a loud "hum" sound.

"Why is she here again at night?"

Qin Huining quickly took a big towel and waited for the old lady to wipe her feet, put on white socks for her, and another maid came in and carried out the tub for washing her feet.

The third wife came in and saw the scene of Qin Huining serving the old lady and putting on warm boots.

"Old lady." The third wife saluted, and then smiled: "If I say that in this mansion, no one can compare to Sister Hui's filial piety. My daughter-in-law is really ashamed."

The old lady couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and scolded without anger: "Pohou'er, if you talk like this in front of your niece, I'm not afraid of making people laugh."

Qin Huining heard the words, and laughed, but she rolled her eyes secretly in her heart. It's better than filial piety, and everyone can do their own thing. The third wife didn't come early, who is to blame?

However, Qin Huining also knew that the third wife was a good face in front of the old lady. Don't look at the third master as a concubine, but the third wife was the economic backbone of the Qin family. On weekdays, the third wife was not stingy, and the old lady did not know how to get it from her. How much gold and silver as the body. Compared with the proud, domineering, and noble-born eldest lady, and the second lady, who can't keep up with a stick, the third lady is the most liked by the old lady.

Qin Huining didn't want to offend the living God of Wealth, so she smiled and said, "Aunt San is joking, but I live close by, so I happen to be one step ahead. Aunt San's filial piety is more than that of our juniors. Don't laugh at me."

"How come. Sister Hui was taught by the old lady. She knows the festivals and respects the etiquette and filial piety. She has a deep relationship with the old lady, and her filial piety is the most sincere."

The third wife smiled and sat down on the embroidered pier brought by Mother Qin, and then said, "Old lady, I just heard that Mama Zhan, who was sent by the empress, had arranged to stay at Cuizhuxuan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Huining laughed.

It seems she has an ally.

She wanted to prevent Qin Yining from taking the top spot, so that she could learn one or two, but the third wife wanted to be her daughter Qin Jianing.

The old lady also understood what the third wife meant, and with a sigh, she handed the brass cigarette pouch to Mother Qin to put it away, and said, "This is exactly what Sister Hui told me just now."

The third wife looked at Qin Huining in surprise, but in a blink of an eye, a hero saw the same smile. She got closer to the old lady and smiled, "Then what does the old lady mean?"

The old lady said: "I naturally hope that the girls in our family can have a good way out.

It's just that this Madam Zhan was specially arranged by the Empress to give to Sister Yi, so it's not easy to speak. "

The third wife smiled when she heard the words, got up and took the milk and bird's nest that Qin mama was about to put on the old lady, and carefully served the old lady. After sending the empty bowl away, she brought a delicate bowl to serve the old lady and rinsed her mouth before the third wife sat back in place.

During the period, the old lady was well served by the third wife, and she was in a very good mood. After thinking about it carefully, as the head of the family, and the old Fengjun with a seal, she must have added Qin Huaiyuan to her own weight. Yes, it's not difficult to tell Mama Zhan to do something.

Qin Huining and the third wife looked at each other.

After thinking about it, San Tai smiled and said, "I think this matter must be managed, and I will naturally come up with the things used for this management."

"Where can I use you." The old lady smiled and waved her hand, "My own granddaughters seek welfare, and it is the money in my father's money."

Qin Huining hugged the old lady's arm in a coquettish manner and said, "Grandmother, all the sisters in our family are counting on you. I think Sister Xiaoxi is a sensible and well-behaved person, and she will definitely not object."

The old lady smiled and said, "Even if some people are dissatisfied with this matter, it will not be her turn. Forget it, you all go, I will talk to the eldest daughter-in-law tomorrow."

"Yes." The third wife and Qin Huining stood up happily.

The third wife saluted and retired, but Qin Huining was tired of being by the old lady's side, and it took a long time to return to her warm pavilion.

Qin Huining rested by herself, and did not forget to tell Bitao to arrange for a little girl to pay attention to the movement outside.

As a result, I got up early the next morning and really learned that the third wife had ordered someone to come and deliver a lot of things to the old lady in the middle of the night.

Qin Huining didn't feel anything at first, but when she heard that the third wife got up early and sent a gift box to the Sydney Courtyard, and even the second room ordered the decent mama to send gifts, she felt unbalanced.

Why didn't the second and third aunts treat her politely before?

The real ones are treated differently!

Sydney House.

Qin Yining instructed the people to accept the gift, served tea to the mama who came to give the gift, chatted for a while, and then politely sent off the guest.

On the round table on the side, a few new rulers of different colors, as well as the best tea leaves and pen and ink were sent by the second lady.

A complete set of jasper head and face and Suxin Pavilion's latest fragrance powder in the exquisite black lacquer makeup are sent by the third wife.

Qin Yining didn't know much about these rouge gouache, but he also knew that they were expensive. After thinking about it, he instructed Rui Lan: "Check the things carefully, and put them in an account book. As for these things, just use them."

Ruilan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.

The girl trusts her and wants her to manage the private library and record human exchanges!

"This servant knows, she will live up to the girl's trust!" Rui Lan solemnly bowed to Qin Yining.

Qin Yining knew that what happened that night made Rui Lan uneasy, and now she has arranged errands for her, one is a test, and the other is a reassurance pill for her.

"Let's do something." Qin Yining's voice was gentle, smiled and continued to copy the "Book of Filial Piety".

Ruilan nodded happily, as if he had been beaten with blood, and went to carefully clean up with Mother Zhu.

Seeing that it was almost time, Qin Yining planned to go to the room to greet the old lady after writing the last sentence.

Who would have thought that just when the thought came, the voice of the maid came from outside: "Miss, Qin mama is here."

Qin Yining was surprised, and hurriedly put the wolf pen on the mountain of white porcelain blue and white pens, and got up with a smile to greet him: "Mother Qin is here, please come in, please take a seat."

"Four girls are well." Qin mama smiled and saluted, and Ruilan brought the brocade, but she didn't sit down, only lowered her head and said gently: "This servant is here to pass a message, and if you say it, you will go back. There is still a mess in the Cixiao Garden."

"But what is the urgent order from the old lady? Mommy, please tell me." Qin Yining looked at her seriously.

Mother Qin said with a smile: "The old lady said that today I will save all the sisters from being confused, and I am so excited that I will learn the rules with Mama Zhan, and I will invite the girl to Xingning Garden to start learning at the very first moment."

Qin Yining nodded with a smile on his face, but he suddenly understood in his heart.

With such a powerful nurturing nanny, I couldn't bear to come to each room. Who made the number of girls in the family?

And although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Qin Yining guessed what Qin Huining must have done.

How could Qin Huining's temperament allow an excellent mother to teach her only Qin Yining alone?

Mother Qin was not surprised to see Qin Yining, she still smiled dignifiedly, like a soft spring under the sun, which made people feel at ease, and the words that followed were even more gentle.

"The western seat invited by Mr. Xiang to sit in the hall has also arrived. I heard that he is an old scholar with excellent knowledge. Now he has been placed in the outer courtyard. The old lady said that in the morning, the girl and the girls will follow Madam Zhan together in the morning. Mammy learns etiquette, and in the afternoon, she reads with Xixi."

Speaking of this, Qin Mu's smile became more sincere: "It's really gratifying that the girl has the attention of the old lady."

"It's all the old lady's kindness and love. I am very grateful. I will definitely study hard and live up to her old man's expectations. I also ask Qin mama to convey my gratitude to the old lady. If I have time, I will go to the old lady. You kowtow and thank you."

"Yes, the slave will definitely bring the message." Qin mama saluted again.

Qin Yining chatted with Qin mama and escorted her down the corridor.

Unexpectedly, Qin mama's feet hadn't touched the ground when she descended the steps, but she saw that the big maid of Cixiaoyuan, Jixiang and Ruyi, brought a lot of things with her maid and old lady.

Mother Qin was surprised.

She came from Cixiao Garden, what instructions does the old lady have that I can't finish it all at once? Is this something for Qin Yining again?

Jixiang and Ruyi approached and bowed to Qin Yining.

Jixiang smiled and said: "The slave servant came at the order of the old lady, and just now, Mama Zhan said that although Cuizhu Xuan is good, it is too deserted. Mama Zhan likes girls from the bottom of her heart, and specifically asked the old lady to allow her. Coming to live in Sydney Courtyard, the old lady and the eldest lady have already nodded their heads, these are the things of Mama Zhan."

As he said that, he turned around and pointed to the daily necessities of the bedding and pillows behind him.

Another sturdy old woman came forward with two loads of things, and saw that there were still cloth rulers, quilts and charcoal baskets and the like.

Ruyi smiled and said: "Hui Si girls, these are brought to you specially by the old lady. The old lady said that the weather is cold, so you must dress warmly, but don't catch a cold."

Is this a kind of compensation for sharing her upbringing?

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Thank you, sister, and I asked her to thank the old lady on my behalf."
