Qin Huaiyuan smiled when he heard this. "I think you're the only one who has the courage and boldness to say such a thing in the entire imperial court."
Pang Xiao also smiled. "I only speak without thinking in front of Father-in-law. If we were outside, I wouldn't be so bold. Your Majesty rules the world with benevolence and filial piety. How could you allow such a thing to happen? "
Both of them were smart people. They understood each other's intentions without having to say it out loud. With Li Qitian's personality, even if he did something wrong, he would never let others know. He would always think of a way to cover it up.
Qin Huaiyuan thought for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean. But if the Tiger Army owes the soldiers money, won't you be the one to take the blame in the end? That's why I admire your ability. You lead the soldiers into battle and have your brothers be loyal to you. They're willing to risk their lives to kill the enemy in front of the battlefield. You can also make them respect you when you owe the soldiers money. You haven't made them hate you to the point of being hated by everyone. This is truly not an easy task. "
Pang Xiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. "Father-in-law, it's actually not difficult. As long as I share the joys and sorrows of the soldiers, charging at the front and retreating at the back, that's enough."
Qin Huaiyuan looked at him with eyes full of praise. "Although that's the truth, it's not the truth. "That's true, but how many people can actually do it? In fact, many things' principles are the most obvious. It's so obvious that everyone knows about them.
"For example, studying. Everyone knows that if you want to take the imperial examination, you first have to thoroughly study the scope of the examination questions over the years. Then, you have to work hard to understand them. At the same time, you have to pay attention to the situation of the imperial court and understand the spirit of those in power.
"Eighty percent of the students understand this principle. However, there are only a few who can truly make the leap because they don't have self-discipline and perseverance.
"Studying is something that won't endanger your life. Even ordinary people are like this. What's more, you're going into battle to kill the enemy. You're risking your life at every moment."
Pang Xiao was embarrassed by Qin Huaiyuan's words. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm not as good as you said. I'm just bold."
"Bold, meticulous, and kind-hearted." Qin Huaiyuan stretched out his arm and patted his son-in-law, who was sitting across from him. "You're very good. I'm not worried about leaving Sister Yi in your care. "
Qin Huaiyuan's words were a great affirmation to Pang Xiao. Pang Xiao did not have a father since he was a child. Yao Chenggu had always been the guiding light in his growth. Yao Chenggu was indeed very smart, but his intelligence was more than enough to open a restaurant in the marketplace. If he used it in the imperial court, his vision was limited.
Now that Pan An had become his father-in-law, Pang Xiao felt that he had more confidence in doing things. This was because he knew that Qin Huaiyuan would definitely point him in the right direction when he was confused and uncertain about what to do.
Especially when he had complete trust in him. Ever since they were in the Dayan imperial court, he had always trusted him.
For him, as a son-in-law, this was already a great praise.
Lunch was placed in old madam's main room as usual.
When the family was eating together, the young master didn't stick to those small details. He only placed a screen in the middle and then sat down on the two sides.
Qin Yining sat next to the second madam of the Sun Clan. He often heard the elders tell her to eat more. He also heard the men on the other side of the screen talking loudly and criticizing the current situation.
In front of other people, Pang Xiao wasn't as talkative as he was in front of Qin Huaiyuan. However, he also didn't put on the cold air of Wang Ye. He was just steady. He didn't speak much, but every time he opened his mouth, he would hit the nail on the head. Second Master and Third Master were full of praise for him. Qin Han, Qin Yu, and the others also had a new understanding of Pang Xiao. They used to think that he was a boorish man, but now it seemed that they were very wrong.
On the other side of the screen, the second madam pulled on the Sun Clan's hand and whispered, "It seems that Sister Yi has chosen a good family. Sister-in-law, you can rest assured now. "
After the Sun Clan heard Qin Yining's introduction and their own observations, they couldn't be more satisfied with Pang Xiao. They nodded and whispered, "I only have one daughter. If she can lead a good life, then I can rest assured."
Qin Huining, who was sitting not far from the Sun Clan, heard the words "I only have one daughter" from the Sun Clan. Her heart was so sour that she almost cried on the spot.
She no longer had any hope for the Sun Clan's relationship with her. She knew that this family raising her was no different from raising a kitten or puppy that had been wagging its tail and begging for food for years.
But when she heard that the Sun Clan didn't care about her anymore, Qin Huining was so sad that she wanted to cry.
She sniffed and forced herself not to cry on Qin Yining's good day of homecoming. She didn't want to arouse disgust. But when she looked up, she met Qin Yining's smiling eyes.
Qin Huining's pupils shrank. She was so embarrassed that it was as if she had been slapped a few times. She awkwardly looked away.
Qin Yining originally wanted to express goodwill. She thought that Qin Huining was her father's adopted daughter. Although the two of them didn't get along well in the past, it was all in the past. Now that she had her own family and a husband who loved her, there was no need for her to harp on the past.
But she didn't expect that her goodwill would be misunderstood.
Forget it. If she acted too close, she might scare Qin Huining. Anyway, she didn't expect them to have any contact in the future, so she would just let it be for the time being.
After the meal, Qin Yining accompanied the Sun Clan back to their room to talk. They even took a short nap in the afternoon. Pang Xiao and Qin Huaiyuan discussed state affairs.
In the main room, old madam pulled Mammy Qin aside and said in a low voice, "Go and see what Fourth Girl is doing. Why is she unwilling to stay by my side and talk after coming back?"
When Mammy Qin heard this, she couldn't help but sigh helplessly. In the past, she had a falling out with Fourth Miss. Now, she wanted to get close to her because she didn't interact with her. Fourth Miss wasn't shameless and without self-respect. Why would she rush over?
Although she thought this in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud. Mammy Qin could only say, "Fourth Miss is not used to leaving First Madam's side. Presumably, she just got married and has some personal things to say to First Madam."
When old madam heard this, she naturally thought of some things between husband and wife. She nodded in understanding. Although she was still dissatisfied with Qin Yining's estrangement, at least she didn't show it so obviously.
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened. If they didn't leave now, there would be a curfew. Qin Yining reluctantly bid farewell to her family and got on the carriage with Pang Xiao.
Seeing the Family Qin's house getting farther and farther away, Qin Yining didn't sit up straight until they turned the corner and sighed softly.
Pang Xiao stretched out his long arm and hugged her, letting her lean on his shoulder. He asked in a low voice, "You can't bear to leave? It's okay. Anyway, our house is not far away. You can come back whenever you want in the future. "
"En." Qin Yining nodded gently and said faintly, "In fact, it's not that I can't bear to leave. I just feel a little disappointed in my heart. In the past, when I was at home, I always felt that there were many things that were not satisfactory. I thought that perhaps when I got married in the future, it would be better to leave those troublemakers. But now that he was living a new life, he still missed the days when he was in chaos. It's not that I miss those troublemakers, but that I miss those times. "
"I can understand what you're saying." Pang Xiao sighed softly and kissed the top of her head, "It doesn't matter. Everyone will feel this way. It's not a bad thing to reminisce and miss, but life still has to go on. The days in the future will be better, and there will be more things worth remembering. "
His big hand rubbed her back, and finally his hand held her slender waist and pulled her into his arms, "When we have children in the future, you will be busier."
Qin Yining was stunned when she heard this, and her face suddenly turned red.
Yes, she didn't think too much about it. Only now did she realize that they were married and would have children. They were so loving. Bing Tang had also shown her that although her body was weak, it would not affect her fertility. If this continued, she might have Pang Xiao's child very soon.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining blushed and felt uneasy, but there was still a faint sense of expectation in her heart.
Pang Xiao lowered his head and gently bit her earlobe.
Qin Yining's body trembled and she hurriedly retreated a little. She covered her ear and glared at him with a red face, "What are you doing?"
Pang Xiao was tickled by her blushing face. He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace, urging the people outside, "Hurry up. Let's get home before the curfew. Don't delay. "His words were proper, but his actions were not.
Qin Yining's face and ears turned red from his teasing. When she got home, she immediately rushed back to her room, not daring to raise her head to look at the expressions of the servants around her.
Pang Xiao was relaxed and acted as if nothing had happened. He also followed her back to his room and engaged in a deeper level of communication that they could not have in the carriage.
It was a sleepless night.
When Qin Yining got up the next day, she felt that her entire body was sore and weak. She did not have any strength, and her waist hurt so much that she did not want to get up. She rubbed the side of her long, lotus like arms, only to discover that the outside of the bed was already empty.
She opened her eyes and saw the bright sky through the red muslin curtain.
"What time is it now?"
Hearing her question, Ji Yun, who was guarding outside, came in and said with a smile, "Wangfei is awake. It's already nine in the morning. Wang Ye has already gone to court, but Wang Ye did not allow us to disturb wangfei's rest."
Qin Yining's cheeks flushed red. She first put on yesterday's inner clothes before getting up to change clothes and wash up.
After everything was tidied up, Bing Tang brought in the ginseng chicken soup that was simmering in the small kitchen. She smiled and said, "Wang Ye ordered for you to take good care of your body." She winked at her after saying this.
Qin Yining glared at her, then quietly drank the soup.
Right at this time, Xian Yun's voice came from outside, "Wangfei, Sir Xie and Sir Xu are asking for an audience. They have something important to report. "
Qin Yining was stunned when she heard this. The relaxed and comfortable expression on her face disappeared without a trace. They were Pang Xiao's most trusted people. If they suddenly came, it must be something important.
"Quickly invite them in."
Qin Yining wiped her mouth and hurriedly went to the main hall.
When Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi saw Qin Yining, they first saluted and did not delay, directly stating their intentions.
