Chapter 818 Aunt and Nephew
All the guests who came today were guests, and the little servant girl led Xiao Qin to Qin's place very attentively. She was sitting in the flower hall talking with a few familiar wives, and when she saw Xiao Qin coming, she was stunned for a moment.
She hasn't seen this niece for many years, only heard that she married into South Amber House.
"Auntie!" Xiao Qin didn't know anyone but Qin Shi, she came forward to say hello to Qin Shi, and nodded to the wives with a low eyebrow. She didn't know how to address her, so she simply didn't speak. .
Qin and Xie Zhiwei are acquainted, and she tried her best to find out what happened in the Xiao Mansion, so as not to accidentally make Xie Zhiwei uncomfortable if she didn't know about it one day.
The third son-in-law is the concubine of the Nan'anbo mansion. When they got married, there was no one in the Nan'anbo mansion. This is very intriguing.
"It's my natal niece, I'll come as soon as I go!" Qin stood up to plead guilty, but no one else said anything, Yuan said, "Go and work if you have something to do, we will talk later."
Xiao Qin saw that the woman was wearing a moonlight gauze embroidered with begonia patterns, gold earrings inlaid with pearls, and a pair of hairpins with gold dots and emerald jewels inlaid with bat patterns on her head. She looked just past the age of flowers, I don't know who it is, but they are sitting in the first few seats.
Fortunately, he was very polite!
After leaving the door, Mrs. Qin walked quickly and brought her all the way to the thatched pavilion in the west garden, next to the lotus pond. In June, it is the season of flowering, and the pond is full of lotus flowers, pink, White, red, slim and tall, with dragonflies splashing water among them.
"Why are you here?" Mrs. Qin was very surprised. She had asked someone specifically, and Prince Xiang's Mansion didn't post a post to Nan'anbo Mansion. To put it bluntly, people from Nan'anbo Mansion didn't come when they should come. He came when he shouldn't have come.
Xiao Qin felt extremely wronged, unconsciously, with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, my niece met my aunt when I was a child, and I haven't seen her for so many years, how can my aunt say that about my niece?"
Qin's natal family no longer has an old mother. After she left the cabinet, she gave birth to the eldest, and her mother passed away. It's because I don't move around often, and my natal sister-in-law doesn't even bring boxing gifts often.
When she gave birth to her daughter, her natal family only sent an ordinary nanny to give her child the third baptism. The woman was not the person who served her sister-in-law, and she didn't know her. The third baptism was just an ordinary bracelet and collar , One or two sets of children's clothes, it looks like they were bought from tailors.
Qin didn't want to worry about these things. After her mother passed away, her elder brother was also very busy, and her sister-in-law had to take care of such a big family, so forget about how much she neglected her.
It's just that Kehui is the eldest daughter of the Qin family. Why did her sister-in-law raise her so petty? She started crying without saying anything.
"In any case, the third master is the son-in-law of the royal family. Even if the princess didn't post a message to the uncle's house, we can't pretend that we don't know, and we don't even come to congratulate him." Xiao Qin said.
Mr. Qin was afraid that she would really make her cry, so she stopped talking, "Come here, you can talk to the ladies you know in a while. If there is nothing else, I will go there first."
"Auntie, I don't know many people." Xiao Qin said awkwardly, "Auntie, can you introduce me to the wives you know? I checked, and I don't know anyone."
The Qin family is just a gentleman from the third rank, but because of the different friendship with Xie Zhiwei, she herself is very decent in her words and deeds, so she can integrate into the circle of Yuan and others. talk.
Seeing that Mrs. Qin didn't speak, Mrs. Qin couldn't help asking, "Auntie, it's okay if it's embarrassing. Just now, she was sitting at the top, wearing a gold dotted green hairpin on her head. She looks very young, less than thirty years old. who is it?"
Qin said, "That's the princess's mother, Mrs. Jinyang Guo, and I was just having fun in the middle. I finally got this opportunity, so it's really hard to introduce you."
Isn’t that abrupt and rude?
Xiao Qin said, "Auntie, my niece has something to ask of you. Can you introduce the princess for me? I heard that you have a good relationship with the princess. My uncle was transferred from Juzhou to Jingzhao Mansion. The blessing of the princess."
These words are hard to hear, as if the princess, a woman of the generation, actually meddles in the government.
Qin was very upset, "Who taught you to say this? How could you say such a thing, do you know that if you say this, it will also implicate us?"
What if the princess hears it, cares about it, and alienates her?
Qin was very annoyed, "Not everyone will meet the princess, I will ask later, if the princess has this heart, you are my niece, of course I will introduce you, if the princess is too busy, I think , next time!"
After speaking, Qin Shi left without looking back, leaving Xiao Qin standing alone under the willow by the pond.
The mother-in-law she brought came over after Qin Shi had left, and asked, "Ma'am, did the aunt say anything?"
After Xiao Qin's marriage, it's not that Chu Tianyou, the prince, did not apply for a seal for her, but the court has not approved it, so she is not qualified to be the wife of the prince, and can only be called "Madam", and this lady is Xiao Qin It seems a little strange that Qin Shi only called Qin Shi "auntie" when she brought it from her natal family.
Xiao Qin came to her senses, and was a little annoyed that Qin didn't help her, so she couldn't help complaining, "She has such a close relationship with the princess, and she also talked with the princess's stepmother, and recommending me is just a matter of words, she doesn't care about it." If you are willing to help, it can be seen that you are resenting your mother for not being close enough to her these years."
Nurse is very anxious, the girl was brought up by her, and she married to the uncle's house, and now she has not consummated the marriage with the eldest son, she is really anxious, if the aunt still refuses to help the girl, what will happen in the future!
"Ma'am, don't worry, since you are here, there is always a chance, if you meet the princess, we are guests, and it is not a rude thing to go up to say hello and salute. "
"It can only be the!"
The two of them let a little maid lead the way and reported their identities, and the little maid took the two of them to Yu Qingtang to sit and talk to some wives of similar rank.
There were a lot of people in Yu Qingtang, sitting and talking in small groups. After Xiao Qin entered, as she said, she didn't know anyone, so she had to sit by the window, drinking tea and watching the scenery outside.
After a while, she saw Mrs. Qin talking attentively to a woman about fifteen or sixteen years old who wore a woman's bun. With five phoenixes facing the sun and hanging pearl hairpins, she looks magnificent, and thanks to her extremely bright face, she has a dignified temperament, and she can hold back even at such a young age.
The second update!
