Pang Xiao admired Qin Huaiyuan very much.
He was a person who remained calm in the face of change and knew what he wanted at all times and all places. In the face of such a big change, he was not discouraged. Instead, he looked for the best way to let himself and his family live a good life.
Moreover, Qin Huaiyuan proposed to move to the Wangfu for his family's sake.
In addition to Qin Huaiyuan, the Family Qin only had Second Master Qin Xiuyuan who held a position in the imperial court. However, he was only a minor official with no real power. It could be said that whenever the Family Qin did something big, Li Qitian would definitely look for Qin Huaiyuan. Even if someone wanted to assassinate Qin Huaiyuan for revenge, they would look for Qin Huaiyuan. The existence of the rest of the in-laws' family was too low.
Therefore, Qin Huaiyuan moved away at this time. Although he said it was for his own sake, in fact, he was afraid of bringing disaster to his family and implicating them.
On the other hand, living with Pang Xiao in the Wangfu was convenient for the protection of the Wangfu. At least, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao did not have to be on tenterhooks and had to divert their energy.
However, Qin Huaiyuan definitely missed his family. Even if he moved to the Wangfu, he was inevitably worried that his enemies would not find him and turn to harm the other members of the Family Qin. Qin Huaiyuan was Pang Xiao's father-in-law. It was not good to directly say that he would take the whole family to live in the Wangfu.
When Pang Xiao heard this, he immediately said, "Father-in-law and Mother-in-law must come. Moreover, there are many empty courtyards in the Wangfu. If Second Uncle and Third Uncle are willing to come and live with us, that would be the best."
Hearing Pang Xiao's words, Second Master, Third Master, Qin Han, Qin Yu, and the others were very surprised. Then, they were a little moved and flattered.
What was Pang Xiao's status? In the past, it was always others who flattered and chased after him. It was very rare to hear him flattering someone. Unexpectedly, he was so sentimental that he even brought them along.
Although their reactions were not as fast as Pang Xiao's, they understood Qin Huaiyuan's intentions after thinking about it carefully. They could not help but feel touched.
For the safety of his family, Qin Huaiyuan tactfully made a request to his son-in-law.
Second Old Master was a little hesitant. "Wang Ye's suggestion is certainly good, and we are very grateful for it. But wouldn't it be too much of a bother if we move in together?"
"Yeah." Qin Han was a little afraid of causing trouble for Qin Yining.
Old madam was a worrisome person. If she went to live in the wangfu, wouldn't she also stir up the wangfu's life? Qin Yining also had his mother-in-law, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother. If Qin Yining was disliked by the elders because of this, it would be their fault.
Third Old Master and Qin Yu had also thought of Qin Han's considerations. They could not be too selfish with other people's good intentions, so they both expressed their rejection.
However, Qin Yining smiled and said, "There are indeed a few empty courtyards in the wangfu. Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Gege, there's no need to be polite. "He turned around and asked Pang Xiao," When the time comes, can you tidy up Snow Plum Courtyard and let our family live there? "
Pang Xiao smiled and nodded. "Of course." He then explained, "Snow Plum Courtyard is on the west side of the wangfu. It's a separate courtyard with three entrances. It has a separate side door. If you want to leave the wangfu and don't want to take a detour to go to the main entrance, you can also open the side door separately."
Qin Yining said, "Snow Plum Courtyard is included in the wangfu, but you can also close the walkway and open the side door to live alone. This way, our family can live closer, and it's also more convenient for Wang Ye to order people to protect us. When you want to move around, you can open the door on the walkway and casually visit the wangfu. The degree of freedom is also high. "
Qin Huaiyuan listened to his daughter and son-in-law's arrangement and felt very satisfied. He turned around and asked Second Old Master and Third Old Master, "Second Brother, Third Brother, what do you think?"
Actually, Second Old Master and Third Old Master were already tempted.
They looked at each other and then said, "Why don't we discuss it with Old Madam?"
Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "I won't go in. Second Brother, why don't you go and talk to Mother?"
Second Old Master nodded and sighed. "That's good." He hesitated for a moment and then advised, "Mother is in the middle of spring and autumn. It's inevitable that she's a bit muddle-headed. Normally, she's like an old child. Big Brother, don't be sad. Mother actually loves you the most."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Of course I know. We're already at this age. How can we bicker with our old mother?"
Second Old Master and Third Old Master saw Qin Huaiyuan's calm and indifferent smile and knew that he was an open-minded person. He really wouldn't bicker with these things. Thus, they felt relieved and went in to persuade him.
When Old Madam first heard that Qin Huaiyuan wanted to move, she scolded Qin Huaiyuan on the spot for being an ungrateful wretch who forgot his mother after marrying a wife.
However, when she heard that Pang Xiao invited their whole family to move to the wangfu, she was also a bit tempted.
What kind of place was the wangfu? If she refused, she was afraid that she wouldn't have the chance to enjoy life in the wangfu in this lifetime!
Besides, with her identity, she would be the oldest in the wangfu. At that time, wouldn't everyone have to provide for her?
Old Madam smiled through her tears and said somewhat proudly, "At least they still know how to be filial."
Then, she asked with some worry, "What's the situation outside now? If we move, will we also get involved in some trouble? I always feel that this time, your eldest brother was dismissed from his official position by Your Majesty. It has something to do with Sister Yi and her son-in-law. "
Old Madam's words made Second Old Master and Second Old Madam feel sick. Fortunately, the people from the eldest branch weren't here. Otherwise, they would be heartbroken if they met such a selfish person with good intentions and sincerity.
Second Old Master said sternly, "Mother, you can't say these words again in the future. We are officials in the imperial court, so we have to look at Heaven's prestige. Heaven's prestige is unpredictable, and we can't control our fortune and misfortune. Now, no one is to blame for this matter. If we want to blame someone, it's because we should have this period in our lives. Sister Yi is a filial child, and eldest brother is even more open-minded. He is also sincerely filial to Mother. Don't say these kind of words to make people sad again. Otherwise, we will feel bitterly disappointed when we hear them. "
Second Old Madam also smiled and nodded, "Mother, don't lower yourself to the same level as us juniors. Old Master spoke frankly and had good intentions. You are the most empathetic and magnanimous person. As the saying goes, 'A prime minister's magnanimity can support a boat'. There's also another saying, 'If you are not stupid and deaf, you can't be a father'. Mother is an elder, and we still need you to oversee us. Otherwise, we won't have a backbone in our lives."
Second Old Master and Second Old Madam, one played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, which made old madam lose her temper. Because of her daughter-in-law's words, she nodded and said, "Alright, then our family will go and live there for the time being. If there's any situation, we will immediately move out. We will order people to look after this residence. When the time comes and we have to move back, we can live there. "
Second Old Madam nodded, but in her heart, she rolled her eyes. She really wanted to say that this residence also belonged to Sister Yi. When the Family Family came, their belongings were all stolen by the bandits. How could they still have their own residence? Old Madam lived and ate Sister Yi's residence, but she didn't know how to be grateful. Even she, the Second Aunt, felt embarrassed.
Second Old Master went out to discuss with Qin Huaiyuan, Pang Xiao, and the others about moving.
Once the matter was settled, it was easy to clean up. The thing that the Wangfu didn't lack the least was servants. When Pang Xiao's soldiers fought with the Jinghu Wei, each of them were like little tigers. When it came to moving, they were also capable of doing the work of two people.
The Wangfu had all the furniture and bedding. The Family Family only needed to bring their personal clothes and necessities. Therefore, everything was quickly organized.
More than a dozen carriages were prepared. Some people were left behind to look after the residence, while the others brought their personal servants and went all the way to the Wangfu.
There were always people looking after the Snow Plum Courtyard. When Pang Xiao came back, he ordered the steward of the Wangfu to make arrangements.
Old Madam followed the second branch and the third branch and moved into the Snow Plum Courtyard. Pang Xiao ordered the steward to bring people to help. As for the other matters, they had to wait until they settled down.
As for Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan, Qin Yining arranged for them to live in the Xue Courtyard, where she had lived for a short time in the Wangfu.
The environment here was quiet and elegant. Although there wasn't a separate gate leading to the outside of the Wangfu, it was in an important position in the Wangfu. It was very close to the study in the outer courtyard and could be separated from the inner courtyard. It was convenient to avoid arousing suspicion. After all, Qin Yining still had a single mother-in-law.
As for Miss Eight, she naturally lived with Old Madam.
Qin Huining was Qin Huaiyuan's adopted daughter, so the Wangfu could only accept her. The Sun Clan was afraid that Qin Huining would cause trouble, so they needed to keep an eye on her. Thus, they took the initiative to say, "Sister Hui will live here with me. You can go to Old Madam's place every day when you pay your respects."
Qin Huining had long been fascinated by the Wangfu's large courtyard and elegant and luxurious scenery. The envy and jealousy she felt for Qin Yining was about to break through the sky. Seeing the Sun Clan guarding against her as if she was a thief, she felt even more wronged. However, she also wanted to repair the relationship with Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan, so she obediently nodded and agreed.
The Sun Clan first had the servant girls serve Qin Huining to the side room to rest.
At this time, the sky was already dark. There were lamps in the room, so it was as bright as day.
Qin Huaiyuan saw that Qin Yining was tired, so he said, "You are also tired. Quickly go and rest. We will talk about the rest tomorrow. "He then said to Pang Xiao," I have arranged for people to escort the in-laws back. I believe they will arrive tomorrow or the day after. "
When Pang Xiao heard this, he smiled and said, "Yes. Father Xie Yue, during my absence, you helped me take care of my mother and maternal grandparents under Your Majesty's surveillance. You must have put in a lot of effort. When we return, let's have a good drink. "
Hearing them say this, the Sun Clan was very surprised because she didn't know about these things.
Pang Xiao took Qin Yining and left Su Xue Garden.
The sky was already completely dark. There were servant girls in the front holding the lamps.
Qin Yining's waist was a bit sore, so her steps were also slow. Seeing her like this, Pang Xiao simply picked her up horizontally.
Qin Yining was caught off guard and cried out softly. She hurriedly hugged Pang Xiao's neck, "What are you doing? Quickly put me down."
"You are tired. Be good and rest for a while. I asked them to prepare some plain porridge and side dishes. You can rest after you go back and eat. "
Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She rested her head on Pang Xiao's shoulder and felt his strong arms steadily supporting her. Their steps were light and without any bumps as they walked towards the Upper Courtyard.
She was tired and didn't want to talk. Her heart was full of gratitude towards Pang Xiao's arrangements today, so she rubbed her cheek against his shoulder.
Pang Xiao's heart melted. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. His tone was gentle as he said, "Good girl."
Not long after, Pang Xiao stopped in his tracks, "Sister Yi, look."
Qin Yining was already drowsy. When she heard this, she opened her eyes in a daze, "What's wrong?"
Pang Xiao raised his chin.
Qin Yining followed his gaze and saw a brand new plaque hanging high above the lintel of the Upper Courtyard under the warm yellow light of the lanterns. The familiar handwriting read "Si Qing".
