Pang Xiao's information was very accurate. In just a few days, her mother's servant came to report in advance.
When Qin Yining saw the servant who reported the news in the front hall, he couldn't hide his surprise and smile. "Where do you think my mother and the others have gone? When will they arrive? "
The manservant replied with a smile, "Replying to Your Highness, the Old Madame and her entourage have already passed by Xi Hua City. This lowly one rushed over from Xi Hua City on horseback. Based on the speed of the carriages, they should arrive tomorrow or the day after. Madam Dowager said that you don't need to prepare anything. We are all family, so you can live however you want. "
Qin Yining nodded repeatedly. "I see. Thank you for coming. "
"It's not hard, it's not hard!" The servant waved his hand repeatedly and bowed to Qin Yining before being taken away by Qiu Lu to arrange food and accommodation.
Qin Yining stood up and said happily, "Although it's convenient to live in everywhere in the mansion, it's better to live close to Snow Pear Courtyard. If something happens, it's convenient to leave. It won't delay things. "
She didn't forget the current situation.
Moreover, living in this house, she could more or less remember the catastrophe that made her lose many relatives. She still had a little shadow of this house.
Ji Yun and the others also sighed in their hearts. However, it was a happy thing that Madam Dowager and Madam Dowager were coming. They didn't want to spoil Qin Yining's mood. Therefore, all the maidservants smiled and were busy preparing the Azure Bamboo Courtyard next to Snow Pear Courtyard.
The Azure Bamboo Courtyard was named after the small bamboo forest planted in the backyard. In the past, there were many people in the courtyard, but there were not many, so it had always been empty. It was only separated from Snow Pear Courtyard by a wall. There was a Begonia Gate on the side. After passing through the Begonia Gate, one could see the back door of the wing room of Snow Pear Courtyard. It was very convenient to come and go.
Qin Yining took people to clean up the Azure Bamboo Courtyard in person and burned a charcoal basin to dry the house in advance. No matter if it was the main room or the wing room, he didn't leave anything behind. The small kitchen was now in Snow Pear Courtyard. He arranged two more cooks and asked someone to find a chef from the north. Her grandmother was from the north, so she probably wasn't used to the taste of the south.
After bustling about for a while, all the basic necessities had been properly arranged. All that was left was to wait for the guests to arrive.
Qin Yining felt that time had passed extremely slowly these past two days. It was as if he was looking forward to the stars and the moon. Finally, he received the news in the afternoon.
"Your Highness, Old Madam and Old Madam's carriage has entered the city."
Qin Yining was overjoyed and hurriedly had Bing Tang and Ji Yun help her change her clothes. She also picked up the two children wrapped in red swaddling clothes and led them out of the fu.
"Tell the servants in the mansion to prepare well. We'll come and greet Old Madam and Old Madam together later."
"Yes. Don't worry, Your Highness. I've already given the order. "Xian Yun said with a smile.
Qin Yining instructed the gatekeeper to open the main gate. Master and servants stood at the bottom of the steps in front of the gate and waited. After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, they finally saw a group of carriages under the protection of several imperial bodyguards. Among the imperial bodyguards, Qin Yining looked familiar. The leader of the imperial bodyguards was even more familiar. It was Cao Yuqing, who was wearing a riding suit and was very beautiful.
"Aunt Cao!" Qin Yining quickly greeted her in surprise.
Cao Yuqing gracefully got off the horse and looked at Qin Yining with a smile. Seeing that her complexion was very good and her appearance was much plumper than before she was pregnant, Cao Yuqing knew that she was living a good life and felt much more relieved.
The curtain of the carriage behind was lifted. The Sun Clan poked their heads out first and said happily, "Sister Yi!"
Mother Jin, who was following the carriage, got off first and helped the Sun Clan get off the carriage. Then Madam Ma got off the carriage.
"Mother, grandmother." Qin Yining took Cao Yuqing's hand and patted it. She smiled at her and walked to the Sun Clan and Madam Ma with a smile. Then she bent her knees and bowed to them. The servants behind her, as well as the wet nurse who was holding Brother Han and Brother Zhao, also bowed together.
"Good, good. It's good that you are safe." The Sun Clan took Qin Yining's hand and looked up and down. She said with distress, "You must have suffered a lot when you gave birth on the road, right?"
"It's nothing. We are fully prepared and have enough manpower. We have not suffered. But how did mother and grandmother come out? You must have suffered a lot along the way. Did you encounter any danger? "
Madam Ma said with a smile, "It was very smooth all the way. Thanks to Bodyguard Cao's proper arrangement. Sister Yi, are you feeling better? "
"Grandmother, I'm all right." Qin Yining turned around and asked the two wet nurses to come forward.
"The young master pays his respects to Old Madam and Old Madam." The wet nurse held the infant and bowed.
The Sun Clan looked at the two children happily and smiled with deep crow's feet. "Good. These two children are so handsome!"
"Oh! The young master even has a beauty mole on his forehead! "Mother Jin also laughed at the side.
Because they were travel-worn and had not washed up yet, Madam Ma and Madam Sun did not dare to rashly hold the children. The two children were still too young. They were only four months old now. What if they accidentally passed away from the illness?
However, the two children did not cry or make a fuss. At this time, they were full and woke up. They opened their big black grape-like eyes and curiously looked around. They were beautiful and obedient.
Madam Ma was so happy that tears gushed out of her eyes. "Yi lass, it's been hard on you. You have suffered for Dai Fu. Dai Fu has not let down the ancestors of the Sun Clan. It's all thanks to you that we have this pair of children! "
Qin Yining shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile, "Grandmother, don't say that. It's not hard on me. Besides, they call Wang Ye father, so they have to call me mother. They are also the continuation of our Family Qin. "
Madam Ma was stunned at first, then nodded happily. "You're right. But it's still hard on you. " Madam Ma touched Qin Yining's cheek with some heartache. "You're always so sensible, but you're always the one suffering. Our Dai Fu is blessed. It's all thanks to you."
Madam Ma would never say anything hypocritical. She was sincere as long as she said something. Qin Yining believed that she really liked him.
The Sun Clan had been with Madam Ma for a long time and understood her character very well. Compared to the Yao Clan who always put on a noble appearance, the Sun Clan preferred the sincere and down-to-earth Madam Ma. Both of them were straightforward and straightforward. It was not difficult for them to get along with each other.
"It's still cold outside. Let's go in and talk," Qin Yining said with a smile.
"Okay, okay. Don't let the two children catch a cold." Madam Ma nodded repeatedly.
The group walked through the main door and entered the residence. The servants on both sides came forward and bowed neatly.
The Sun Clan was particularly touched by this. After all, this was the old residence of the Qin Family. She had lived here for many years and had a sense of belonging. However, because of the tragedy back then, several members of the Sun Clan had passed away. After entering the residence, the Sun Clan still felt a little uneasy.
The group went straight into the residence. The Sun Clan and Madam Ma first went to the Azure Bamboo Courtyard to tidy up.
Qin Yining ordered the small kitchen to prepare quickly and ordered someone to pass a message to the military camp.
After washing up, Madam Ma and the Sun Clan were not in a hurry to eat. Instead, they went to the inner room to see Brother Zhao and Brother Han.
"So Brother Zhao is the older brother."
"Oh, these two children are really beautiful."
"Lass Yi is beautiful, and so are the two children." Madam Ma hugged Brother Zhao happily. Seeing Brother Zhao looking at her curiously without crying or making a fuss, she knew that this was because her great-grandson was close to her. She was even happier. "This child is not shy with strangers. He's not afraid of me at all."
The Sun Clan hugged Brother Han and said with a smile, "He's in the same family. He can sense it in his blood. How can he be afraid?"
"I'm an ugly old woman. On the way here, I was worried that I would scare the two brothers."
"How is it scary?" Qin Yining said with a smile, "Grandma has a kind face. Even in spring and autumn, she's still a beautiful lady. Children will naturally like her. "
"Lass, did you just eat honey?" Madam Ma smiled with her sharp teeth.
The family was happy and harmonious. After coaxing the two brothers for a while, Qin Yining persuaded, "It's getting late. Why don't we have lunch first? "
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard Bing Tang's reply from outside, "Princess, Old Madam, and Old Madam, Wang Ye is back."
"Wang Ye must have heard the news and hurried back." Qin Yining said with a smile, "He's so lucky to have a meal with us." “
While talking, they arrived at the side hall where the meal was served. Not long after, Pang Xiao strode in.
"Grandma, Mother-in-law." Pang Xiao bowed respectfully.
The Sun Clan hurriedly said with a smile, "Don't be so polite. We're all family." At this moment, the Sun Clan looked at Pang Xiao like a mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law. The more they looked at him, the more satisfied they were. The fear they had for Pang Xiao dissipated with the passage of time. Now that they knew that Pang Xiao was wholeheartedly good to Qin Yining, how could the Sun Clan not be satisfied?
Madam Ma got up and crossed the table. She patted Pang Xiao's shoulder with a smile and said, "Boy, it seems that you've become stronger?"
"Grandma, do you have discerning eyes? I've been training soldiers with the army these days. I also have to suppress bandits. When I'm busy, I naturally become stronger. "
After quickly washing his hands, Pang Xiao smiled and sat down next to Qin Yining.
The family didn't talk about the red tape and ate their lunch happily.
After the meal, Qin Yining smiled and said, "Everything in the Azure Bamboo Academy has been arranged. Grandma and Mother must be tired from the journey. Do you want to rest for a while? "
"No, I'm not tired. I still want to see my grandson." The Sun Clan smiled with curved eyes.
Madam Ma also nodded and said, "Yes, you two don't have to worry about us. You just have to talk. We're going to see the children."
Madam Ma and the Sun Clan chatted and laughed as they went to the warm room next door.
Qin Yining didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "With Brother Zhao and Brother Han, I feel that Mother and Grandma seem to be more than ten years younger."
"People are in high spirits when they encounter happy events. When they see the younger generation they like, they naturally look younger." Pang Xiao pulled Qin Yining to sit down on the three-walled arhat bed next to the window and said, "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Qin Yining saw that Pang Xiao's expression was serious and couldn't help but become serious.
Pang Xiao said, "Legend has it that the Four-Way Signal originated from Guinan Prefecture. I ordered people to investigate it, but in the end, they almost dug three feet into the ground in Guinan Prefecture, and still couldn't find anything related to the origin of the Four-Way Signal. I think that the news that Sitong originated from Fugui must have been misled by someone. Rumors really can't be trusted. "
Qin Yining wasn't surprised at all when she heard the news. "Four-pass accounts rarely have their own stores. Most of them invest and buy shares behind the scenes. Those stores do business on the surface and won't claim to be Four-pass accounts all the time. Therefore, it's hard to find any useful clues with such poor conditions."
