Chin Mansion.
Qin Liuxi never came once. He only stood in front of the door and glanced at the plaque, then looked at Qin Yuanshan.
The old man was here for something, so he actually invited her to enter the house through the front door!
Qin Liuxi's mood was a little subtle.
When he entered the door, he saw a lot of people. Everyone in the second and third bedrooms were there. Their expressions when they saw her were all different, some were complicated, some were happy, and some were scared.
Qin Liuxi said hello casually, but a few young ones bowed to her respectfully.
“Sister, why are you here in Beijing?” Qin Mingbao had always been close to her. He ran over and held her hand with admiration and joy in his eyes.
Qin Liuxi rubbed her head: "I came over if something happened."
The twins, who were already able to walk, staggered to her legs, hugging each one with one leg, grinning, showing a few big teeth: "Sister." The corners of his mouth twitched.
Qin Liuxi knelt down and hugged them: "Come on."
"Don't bother you anymore." Mrs. Gu smiled and stepped forward to pick up a baby and said, "Why don't you send someone to deliver the letter earlier, so I can ask my servant to pick you up outside the city."
Qin Liuxi smiled: "I just have to do some errands and I won't be here for a long time. I might go back to Li City tomorrow."
"So soon?" Qin Boqing was a little surprised: "Don't you want to stay in Beijing for a longer time?"
“No, there are still things to do.”
Qin Yuanshan said: "Ms. Xie, please prepare a small family banquet and have a meal together in the evening."
Xie agreed, but she was calm and obedient.
Qin Liuxi glanced at her, a little surprised that she was so calm, and then saw Mrs. Cao, who was one step behind her with a bulging belly. When the latter saw her, his smile froze.
Qin Liuxi looked away.
Mrs. Gu said, "Let's go. Third Aunt will take you to your yard to have a look and take a rest."
“And my yard?”
Mrs. Gu smiled lightly and said: "What silly words are you saying? You are the eldest lady of our Qin family, so naturally you have a yard. It's just that my sister-in-law said that you are living in Licheng now to avoid raising idle people. Arrange for the servants to go over and do the work, and keep them locked up on weekdays, but they have to show off once in a while, so as not to lose their popularity."
'
Mrs. Gu felt a little sad: "You are alienated from your family."
Mr. Xie said at this time: "Third brothers and sisters, you go ahead. I'll prepare dinner for you."
Mrs. Gu agreed and asked the servant woman to take her two sons away, then took Qin Liuxi and Qin Mingbao to the courtyard. Qin Mingyue thought about it and followed, but Qin Mingxin did not follow.
"Second aunt has changed her gender?" Qin Liuxi asked Gu in a low voice.
Seeing Qin Mingyue walking behind, Mrs. Gu whispered back: "Mr. Cao is a thoughtful person. Your second aunt has failed to please her several times. Every time she makes trouble, your second uncle takes advantage of your grandmother's affairs." After several visits, she became well-behaved. When her sister-in-law was still there, she also beat her. Was she a little restless? I hope she had really thought it through, otherwise she would be in trouble again. Aunt Cao is there, and she is the one who suffers from being separated from your second uncle."
Qin Liuxi said: "My mother is not here. Please be careful and pay more attention in the back house. Someone from the Qin family may want to come and get close to you in the future, so don't worry."
Mr. Gu was stunned and came to Qin's house to get close. Who is it?
The Qin family was originally a large house with five rooms. After the house was raided, the house was sealed by the internal affairs. It was later returned. There were not many servants, and there were not many masters. Especially the eldest son was still in the old house, which only had two and three bedrooms. Adding an old man to the house makes the house seem quieter, and some courtyards are even locked and unlocked.
The old lady is no longer here, and the yard where she originally lived is also locked. For the sake of convenience, Qin Yuanshan also lives in the front yard. The main courtyard was given to the long room, while Qin Liuxi's courtyard was in a remote location, relatively close to the back street, but the layout was very quiet.
"My sister-in-law chose it for you. She said you would like this location." Mrs. Gu explained, "If you don't think it works, there are other courtyards."
Qin Liuxi pursed his lips and smiled: "No, it's pretty good here."
It is located on a back street for easy access. This was because of the location of her courtyard in the old house in Licheng, so I chose one here for her.
It doesn't matter to Qin Liuxi. She won't live here forever anyway. She doesn't care if she has a place to live. After all, she has no shortage of places to stay in Beijing. She accepts Wang's wishes.
Since the courtyard had not yet been named, Gu asked Qin Liuxi to come up with one. Qin Liuxi said, "Let's call it Xiyuan."
It is located in the west and is very simple.
Ms. Gu was a little helpless and perfunctory.
At this time, a servant woman came to inform the Gu family, and the Changping uncle's house sent someone to deliver an apology. Now the old man was entertaining the prince of the Changping uncle's house, and the prince's wife invited Mr. Xie to entertain, but Mr. Xie was still confused. Several other families came to give gifts. Xie couldn't handle it by herself, so they asked Gu to pass.
Qin Liuxi thought to himself, Marquis Chengen, the father-in-law of the country, is so proud and he came so quickly!
“Third aunt, go and do your work.” Qin Liuxi said with a smile.
Mrs. Gu asked her daughter and Mingyue to accompany Qin Liuxi.
Qin Mingyue stepped forward hesitantly and asked Qin Liuxi about the kit.
Qin Liuxi glanced at her and said: "From now on, the closer the day of filial piety is, your marriage will be mentioned one after another. As for your choice, it is what I said, first the bitter and then the sweet. Sweet and then bitter, it’s up to you to choose.”
Qin Mingyue's face turned red: "Then there is no other choice, so there must be suffering but no success?"
"Your life is not as good as you think!" Qin Liuxi said calmly.
Qin Mingyue blushed instantly and did not dare to say anything more.
Qin Mingbao on the side blinked, secretly pursed his lips and smiled. When it comes to blaming others, it has to be the eldest sister, and one sentence will tell the second sister to shut up!
Qin Liuxi was right. People outside felt that the Qin family had hugged the lap of Marquis Chengen, so they would naturally look at the Qin family highly. If they wanted to have a relationship, there was nothing better than marriage. As a Qin family who has reached marriage age, Mingyue and the others also have many choices.
Looking at the people who are now coming to your door to deliver apology gifts, this is a sign.
The two uncles and aunt who were following the entertainment in front of them all learned the cause and effect from Qin Yuanshan and were very surprised to climb a high branch. However, Qin Yuanshan was extremely calm and beat and threatened. In Qin Liuxi's words, Several people calmed down as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them.
Qin Liuxi is not someone they can control. If they offend her, they will definitely die!
Qin Yuanshan asked his two daughters-in-law to return the gifts according to the corresponding value. This meant that he was brushing off the matter, but he did not intend to have a deep friendship.
As for those dandies, he asked Qin Liuxi again and stopped pursuing them.
When more people sent invitations to banquets or visits, Qin Yuanshan directly said that he was observing filial piety, and did not let his daughter-in-law wait to go out to socialize, so as not to make a joke during the filial piety period and end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Qin Liuxi was very satisfied with this. He was most afraid that the old man would be as easily distracted as the late old lady.
It was night. Qin Liuxi drew a few talismans, took some jade stones from Jiuxuan, and set up a Feng Shui array in the Qin family's house to support the family. This was her reward.
