Return of the Swallow

Qin Huaiyuan looked at the eyes of the old lady's children looking forward to the candy, and was speechless for a moment.

His Adam's apple rolled for a long time before he said, "Mother, we can't keep this betrothal gift."

"Why!" The old lady suddenly stood up and shouted sharply, "Did that Sun family star say something to you? Don't you even want to listen to your mother now? I said stay, just We must keep it! Not only the small yellow croakers, but also many of them, we must keep them!

"You are not a family member. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! Is it okay for a big family to rely on such a small salary? Your third brother's business is still being transferred here little by little. How much loss have you suffered in the business? Do you know?

"If your wife says no, she won't do it. Her brain has been kicked by donkey's hooves! She is so heartless, are you so heartless? She said she was afraid that Sister Yi would go to her husband's house and be looked down upon by others? It really made me laugh to death, Yi My sister has been robbed by Prince Zhongshun a long time ago. Everything that should have happened has happened. Her husband’s family should have looked down on her a long time ago. Could it be that they think highly of her just because they brought back a small betrothal gift? "

Qin Huaiyuan looked at the old lady silently, and said after a while: "Mother, are these what a grandmother should say the night before her granddaughter gets married?"

"You...Brother Meng, what do you mean?" The old lady looked at Qin Huaiyuan in disbelief.

Qin Huaiyuan said, "The money at home is missing, and it was not lost by Sister Yi. Why do we need her betrothal gift to make up for it?"

"Where is this supplement? Since Sister Yi is from the Qin family, everything she owns belongs to the Qin family. She is already so rich, and she will be a princess in the future. Is there anything else she can do to use some of her property to supplement the family? Impossible?"

Qin Huaiyuan shook his head and said: "Mother, you are wrong to do this. Sister Yi does not owe our family. On the contrary, I, the father, owe her a lot. Because of this family, country and world, Sacrifice her for various reasons.

"Although this marriage is not satisfactory now, it is still decent because it was granted by the Holy Emperor. How can she, the daughter of a surrendered minister from the Great Yan State, gain a foothold in the palace?

As members of my mother-in-law's family, even if we cannot be her backing, we can't come up to hold her back. We have kept these silver treasures secret. How do you want Sister Yi to raise her head in the palace later?

"What's more, there is one thing that my mother still doesn't know. Where did my son get the money when he first came to the Zhou Dynasty? The house our family lives in now was bought by Sister Yi with her own money."

"What?" The old lady obviously couldn't believe it, shook her head and said: "Impossible!"

"How is it impossible? Don't you know Sister Yi's character? She knows that I have no money.

My name was used and all the expenses were paid by her. She didn't tell anyone because she was afraid that the old lady and her uncles would be uncomfortable living there. She is a filial child, and she did no harm to you in losing your belongings. Why can't you be more considerate and considerate of her? "

The old lady stood there with her lips pursed, looking at Qin Huaiyuan's serious face, feeling that her position in the family was really in danger.

Now even the most filial Meng Geer refused to listen to her. What else could she say?

"That's all. When I said I would keep the money, was it for my own use? Isn't it also for this family? Since you said you won't keep it, then don't keep it."

Qin Huaiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that the mother can think about it. My son is just a daughter, and he just wants to be as good to her as possible. I hope the mother can understand her son's mood."

"Understand, understand, this is the case, how do we still need to understand?"

Qin Huai saw that the old lady was still unhappy, so he lowered his voice and talked about something pleasant to comfort her.

And Qin Yining didn't know all this.

Because she went to bed early after washing herself.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yining was woken up by Mrs. Sun.

"Sister Yi, get up and comb your hair quickly, it's getting late."

Mrs. Sun wore a festive red dress today and looked very happy.

Qin Yining rubbed the corners of his eyes and said, "Mother, isn't the wedding coming at night? What am I doing up so early?"

"You girl, do you think any bride sleeps until midnight? There are many things going on. If you don't get up, the man from Quanfu who will comb her hair will come later."

Qin Yining had no choice but to listen to Mrs. Sun's instructions and get up to wash up. After having a bite of snacks for breakfast, she was pressed in front of the dowry.

The eyes of mother and daughter met in the mirror, and they looked at each other with a smile.

Mrs. Sun pinched Qin Yining's cheek and sighed: "Time flies so fast. Sister Yi has only been back for a few days, and she is about to leave the government. I haven't thought enough about my mother yet."

As Sun spoke, tears welled up.

Qin Yining hurriedly stood up and hugged Sun, comforting her: "Mother, don't be sad or worry. The prince will treat his daughter well. And the prince's palace is in the capital, so it will be easy for us to meet in the future."

"I know, I'm not sad, I'm just happy." Mrs. Sun sniffed and looked at the maids in the room with a smile, "You have all been with Sister Yi through life and death, and I trust you the most. Go ahead. Sister Hou Yi has gone to the palace, so you should take more care of her and encourage her more."

"Yes, madam, we all know." Bingtang and others saluted.

"Sister-in-law, Mrs. Quanfu is here." The second lady announced outside the door and went to greet Mr. Quanfu.

The candidate for Quanfu was chosen by Pang Xiao after he and Qin Huaiyuan decided.

The person invited was Miao, the old lady of the champion Hou Su family.

This lady has a harmonious family, loving husband and wife, two children, and a house full of children and grandchildren. She is indeed a blessed lady.

Mrs. Sun hurriedly went to the door to greet her, and together with the second lady, she led Mrs. Miao in.

Mrs. Miao is in her early sixties, but her hair is black and shiny, and her figure does not look old at all.

Qin Yining's eyes met her in the mirror, and Mrs. Miao praised her: "What a beautiful girl."

He took the cotton thread, dipped it in powder, and began to twist Qin Yining's face while mumbling auspicious words.

After twisting her face, she trimmed her messy sideburns.

Then he came to comb Qin Yining's hair with a rhinoceros horn comb.

There is also a saying for combing your hair. While combing your hair, you should say auspicious words such as "One comb will lift the eyebrows, and the second uncle will bring happiness to the family...".

Qin Yining followed Mrs. Miao's movements without saying a word and looked at herself in the mirror. Thinking that today was actually her wedding day, Qin Yining still couldn't accept it for a while.

Time really passed too fast, as if she was still worried about her and Pang Xiao's future before, but now all the problems have been solved.

How lucky is she to have a family who loves her so much and a man who is sincere to her?

Maybe the pain of the past ten years was just to save all the blessings and save them for now?

"Girl, this phoenix crown is truly the most unique I have ever seen." Mrs. Miao put the three-phoenix Zhai crown from Fengqi Wutong on Qin Yining and smoothed out the ruby ​​beaded tassels hanging in front of her.

Qin Yining smiled. Besides gold, it was precious stones. Will Pang Xiao spend all his money by marrying her this time?
