Qin Yining smiled shyly and said, "I'm just trying to avoid being lazy."
Ever since Pang Xiao humiliated the Yao Clan, they insisted on not paying attention to what happened in Pang Xiao's courtyard for the entire night. They also didn't ask Zhao Kun's family to investigate. Therefore, the Yao Clan didn't know what Madam Ma said.
The Yao Clan originally wanted to maintain their stance, but when they saw that Madam Ma and Qin Yining hit it off so well, they couldn't help but ask, "How did Sister Yi arrange it?"
When they asked, they felt that they would lose face, so they added, "I want to learn."
Qin Yining saw that the Yao Clan's expression was a bit awkward. He was afraid that she would feel awkward, so he smiled and said, "I just sorted out the matters in the courtyard and arranged what everyone should do. Then, I set the time for each day's work. If there's no urgent matter, they can come back at the right time to receive a token. Urgent matters are excluded. "
When the Yao Clan heard this, they understood the knack and couldn't help but praise, "This is very good. This time is a link between the previous and the next. The matters that happened in the morning and in the afternoon can all be arranged at this time. Moreover, we don't have to worry about people coming to disturb us at any time. Your method is really smart."
After the Yao Clan praised him, she awkwardly remembered that she seemed to be saying goodbye to her daughter-in-law. Her face showed some embarrassment.
Qin Yining said shyly and intimately, "Mother, you're too kind. Your daughter-in-law is just used to being lazy. "
Seeing the bright and sincere smile on her face, the Yao Clan couldn't help but smile as well.
Madam Ma was very gratified and said, "I heard from Dai Fu that you have to take care of business outside. Don't tire yourself out."
"Yes. In terms of business, I'm just sitting there and enjoying the profits. My previous manager in Dayan is very loyal and experienced. He can arrange everything properly with just one word from me. I don't need to spend too much effort. "
"That's good, that's good. It's a blessing that you have such a loyal and devoted person to help you, but it's also your ability that can make others submit to you. I've always known that you're an outstanding girl, and it seems like I was right. It's Dai Fu's fortune to have such a virtuous wife like you. "
Mrs. Ma held Qin Yining in her arms and patted her back with her old hand.
Although Qin Yining had a biological grandmother, she had never experienced such sincere love from her Family Qin Old Madam, nor had she been loved so sincerely.
Mrs. Ma's body also had the unique smell of an old person. It was dry, warm, sunny, and the sweet fragrance of the skin care products she used. People couldn't help but rub against her arms, feeling very warm.
"Grandma only knows how to praise me. I'll be proud in the future."
"You won't. You're a good kid, not that kind of person."
Mrs. Ma patted her back again and again. She liked Qin Yining more and more. She didn't have a granddaughter.
Qin Yining was seven or eight years younger than Pang Xiao. She had never had a delicate and soft granddaughter by her side. Now that she had such a well-behaved, smart, and beautiful granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Ma liked her very much.
Yao Clan watched as Mrs. Ma hugged Qin Yining so lovingly. She recalled that when she was young, she didn't seem to have occupied her mother's embrace for so long. Her heart ached a little.
She realized that she had such emotions and felt that it wasn't right. However, some emotions came from the heart and couldn't be controlled. For example, her precious son had married a wife, and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to keep her position.
"Mother."
At this moment, Pang Xiao, who had changed into a new dark blue brocade robe, strode in. He saw Yao Clan from where he entered the door, so he smiled and bowed first.
Yao Clan saw that Pang Xiao and her weren't estranged and were still as close as before. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Dai Fu is here."
"Yes. I just prepared some gifts. Today, when I go to my father-in-law's house, I have to change the way I address you. "
As they spoke, they arrived in front of Yao Chenggu and Mrs. Ma. Pang Xiao still smiled and bowed.
Yao Chenggu called Pang Xiao to his side and asked him in a low voice what gifts he had prepared. After listening to Pang Xiao's explanation, he felt that it was appropriate. After thinking for a while, he instructed, "You should also prepare some small fortune bags with gold and silver shells inside. If you meet a junior or a peer of the same generation, it won't be ugly to use them as a greeting gift if they need them."
Pang Xiao naturally prepared it, but he forgot to mention it just now. Hearing Yao Chenggu's reminder, he nodded obediently, "Ah, this is ready-made. I'll bring it with me when I go back."
The room was filled with joy and harmony, as if the previous unhappiness had never happened.
Mrs. Ma was satisfied and urged Pang Xiao, "If you're ready, then get ready to set off. Uncle should be here soon."
Returning home in three days required the clan brothers to pick them up.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I think he should be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside replied, "Uncle is at the gate.
”
"Go quickly. Be careful on the road. Send our greetings to the in-laws. "Mrs. Ma gently patted the back of Qin Yining's hand.
Qin Yining smiled and nodded. He followed Pang Xiao and left Pine Crane Hall.
In front of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Qin Yu and Qin Han were discussing whether they should go in and greet the Old Madam of the Prince's Mansion. As they were talking, they saw Qin Yining and Pang Xiao coming out side by side.
"Two brothers-in-law." Pang Xiao was not a wastrel and took the initiative to greet them.
Originally, Qin Yu and Qin Han were a little afraid of him because of his high status and reputation. They were worried that he married Qin Yining for revenge.
Now that they saw his warm smile and that Qin Yining was fine, the two brothers felt relieved. Their attitude towards Pang Xiao was also much more natural.
Qin Han said, "Brother-in-law, shall we set off now?"
Pang Xiao was very happy with this title. It made him happier than calling him Wang Ye or Elder.
At this time, the carriage had already rushed out of the mansion. Pang Xiao first helped Qin Yining into the carriage.
He was worried that she would be uncomfortable and almost carried her up.
Qin Yining found that his hand on her waist exerted a little force. She immediately realized his intention and pushed him away with a blush.
They exchanged glances: So many people are watching!
Pang Xiao had no choice but to let go.
After Bing Tang and Ji Yun got into the carriage, Pang Xiao took the reins and got on the horse.
Qin Han and Qin Yu saw everything and felt even more relieved. The two of them also got on their horses and chatted with Pang Xiao along the way as they led the way in front of the carriage.
Qin Yining sat in the carriage and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The last time they came out, she was still combing a girl's hair. Now, she was combing a woman's hair.
Bing Tang and Ji Yun were a little worried when they saw Qin Yining frowning slightly.
They saw what the Yao Clan did in the mansion these two days and felt wronged for Qin Yining in their hearts. Fortunately, Wang Ye did not tie up his mother. Otherwise, Qin Yining would feel even more wronged.
They went all the way to the main street where the Family Qin lived. As soon as they turned the corner, they saw the Qin Mansion's gate open wide. Qin Huaiyuan, who was wearing a round neck long robe, and the Sun Clan, who were craning their necks in anticipation, were standing in front of the gate.
When they saw Qin Han, Qin Yu, and Pang Xiao turn around the corner on their horses, the Sun Clan couldn't help but quickly go forward to welcome them.
Pang Xiao and the others quickly got off their horses.
Pang Xiao came forward and bowed, "Mother-in-law."
After hearing this familiar address again, the Sun Clan was no longer sure if Pang Xiao would be sincere to Qin Yining, so they just nodded and said, "You're back. Quickly go in."
The carriage stopped.
Qin Yining lifted the curtain and smiled, "Mother, why did you come out?"
Sun Clan quickly took her hand and helped her get off the carriage, "Your cousin went out, so I came out. I can't stay at home. Quickly go home with Mother. "
As she spoke, she held Qin Yining's arm and walked towards the mansion.
Pang Xiao came to Qin Huaiyuan and bowed, "Father-in-law."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, then turned and said, "Let's go. Let's go home first."
When Qin Huaiyuan and his wife received them, the doorman had already rushed into the mansion to pass on the message.
The Family Qin's mansion wasn't big. After walking a few steps, the group of servants arrived at the main room of the inner residence.
The old madam was wearing a maroon red robe with a round neck. She had specially combed her hair and inserted a jade hairpin. She was sitting cross-legged on the kang bed by the window.
Second Old Master, Second Old Madam, Third Old Master
, as well as the brothers and sisters in the family, were all gathered together.
When the old madam entered, everyone smiled and greeted her politely.
Mammy Qin placed two brocade mats on the ground.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao went forward and kowtowed to the old madam.
"Greetings to the old madam. Your granddaughter kowtows to you. "
Pang Xiao also said, "Greetings to the old madam."
The old madam's heart was surging with emotions. She was so excited that her hands were trembling. The person kowtowing to her was the Prince Zhongshun of the Da Zhou Dynasty! He was the murderous spirit who killed people like scything flax. He was the scholar of Wuying Palace who had the power to overturn the imperial court!
If she didn't have a granddaughter like Qin Yining who had the ability to become a wangfei, how could she receive such a greeting?
"You may rise." The old madam forced a smile and ordered Mammy Qin to give a greeting gift.
It was a high-quality inkstone.
Pang Xiao smiled and ordered someone to accept it.
Qin Yining introduced Pang Xiao to his second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, eldest cousin brother Qin Yu, second cousin brother Qin Han, second cousin brother Meng, fifth cousin brother Qin Xian, eighth cousin sister Qin Baoning, tenth cousin brother Qin Rong, eleventh cousin brother Qin Zong, and cousin nephew Qin Yuzhen.
Pang Xiao greeted them one by one. The elders greeted them, gave them greeting gifts, and then took them back. Their peers smiled and gave them greeting gifts. In particular, the greeting gift for the young cousin was a bag of golden beans. The second aunt was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
Qin Yining only skipped Qin Huining's introduction.
Qin Huining lowered her head and stood in the corner. She hated that she couldn't find a hole to hide in.
She really shouldn't have come to this kind of occasion. But if she didn't come, it would be disrespectful to Pang Xiao and Qin Yining. She would be humiliating herself if she came.
Now that she had been neglected for so long, she had long regretted it.
If she hadn't targeted Qin Yining in the beginning and didn't use those methods, she wouldn't have lost the pity and sympathy of her father and mother. Even if she was an adopted daughter, how could a father like Qin Huaiyuan, who had such a high position and valued friendship, treat her unfairly?
But there was no medicine for regret in this world.
