Chapter 16 New Passengers arrive
"Sister, don't you think there is a problem?" Qin Baochuan asked back that he knew that his sister was by no means as simple as the ordinary boudoir daughter's family, and he had always seen his sister's intelligence. He knew how his sister protected him and was very clear.
Qin Yunuan stared at Qin Baochuan for a long time. For the first time, she felt that she seemed to treat Qin Baochuan as a little adult: "Tell me your opinion first."
This is guiding Qin Baochuan to think.
Qin Baochuan frowned and said, "I just think it's strange that we came out of Qin's house until we were attacked for more than half a cup of tea. It was so close to the Qin family, but the Qin family did not send anyone to see the situation during the whole process. Besides, the eaves that the assassins ambush were the backseat room of the Qin family. Didn't notice it at all? "
This is also what Qin Yunuan has thought of for a long time, and it is also the reason why Leng Changxi suddenly avoided talking about what he didn't know. If the Qin family was involved, it would be even more complicated.
Qin Zhi, Qin Linfeng, Qin Yun makeup and Aunt Liu's room, plus a new Dou Mei pair, who is playing tricks behind it?
"Grandma, here we are." Man'er reminded that Qin Yunuan had arrived at the Ningwang Mansion, and the coachman had moved the wooden steps.
Qin Yunuan led Qin Baochuan, and several of the little men in the porter had already nodded and bowed to greet him.
"Yo, the third young lady came back so early."
Qin Yunuan nodded with a smile, returned a kind smile, and asked, "Is the old lady in the house?"
Recently, the old lady of Ning's Mansion often went to the palace to visit the empress dowager. It was really strange. Although they were sisters, they always looked a little strange. They said they were a little strange, but the two often met and talked.
The porter continued to bow and said, "The old lady just came back from the palace and looks in a good mood. Is the third young lady going to say good?"
Qin Yunuan led Qin Baochuan. Although the big and small affairs of the Ning Palace are now in charge of Princess Ning, the children are in order. Qin Yunuan took Qin Baochuan back to the house this time. Naturally, the first person to visit was the old lady of the Ning Palace.
In addition to serving tea in the old lady's yard on the first day of marriage, Qin Yu warmed the door for so many days and set foot on the old lady's lotus courtyard. The name of the yard is simple, but it is very appropriate for the occasion. In August, the lotus flowers in the yard bloomed in a positive voice, swaying, fragrant far away, like a dancer' veil. The fairy daughter standing in the pool, the lotus flowers in this pool are rare varieties, which are not available anywhere else. Just because the old lady especially liked the fragrance, Ning Wang specially looked for a transplant from another place.
When Qin Yunuan took Baochuan around the hanging flower door, she happened to see the old lady lying on the rattan chair of the small pavilion for a nap. Her loose eyelids were half-folded, surrounded by a close-fitting big maid with a thin and soft fan. Even at such a quiet time, the old lady still looked so solemn and indecorable.
This is the hottest time, and the Zhile on the tree is singing loudly, adding some noise to the hot afternoon.
"The third young lady is here." Zhichan, the maid guarding at the door, saw Qin Yunuan coming from afar and smiled, "The old lady is still resting. If the third young lady has something to find the old lady, she can go back first. When the old lady wakes up, she will inform the third young lady, so as not to warm up her body."
Qin Yunuan looked up and looked inside. It was when the old lady slept quietly and peacefully. It seemed that she could not wake up in a short time. She took another look at Baochuan. Qin Baochuan was already sweating profusely.
"It's okay," Qin Yunuan smiled, "My yard is still too far from the Hexiang Courtyard. It's not good to let the old lady wait at that time. I'll stand here and wait."
Qin Yunuan spoke powerfully and gently. Zhichan also followed the old lady for many years, and learned a lot about her behavior. She took a look at Qin Yunuan, and her eyebrows flashed a momentary light, but she immediately closed it again. Taking the opportunity to take over the incense burner handed over by the little maid, she stepped into the pavilion and pretended to be beside the old lady. With a calming fragrance, she whispered to the old lady's ear, "Grandma said that you have to wait at the door."
Half a day, no sound.
Xia Feng came with water vapor. It took a long time to hear the old lady who should have fallen asleep whisper: "Then let her wait. I'd like to see how long she can wait for her brother."
The scorching sun, it can't be said that Qin Yunuan is such a lady who stays in the boudoir every day, and even the farmers in the Beijing suburbs manor dare not expose themselves to exposure to such weather. Although the small pavilion is adjacent to the lotus pond with wind, it is very cool, but it can't stand the midday hot sun to emit heat on the top of his head. Soon, Qin Baochuan's face is a little strange, and his little hands are also hot and cold.
"Baochuan?" Qin Yunuan lowered her voice and called Qin Baochuan's name softly. In fact, she also began to feel chest tightness, "Isn't it uncomfortable? Why don't you go back to the yard with Sister Man'er first, and she will come over in a minute.
"No," Qin Baochuan stubbornly cheered up. "Baochuan wants to wait with his sister. Although Baochuan is not as powerful as his brother-in-law and can't protect his sister in times of crisis, Baochuan is also willing to take on it with his sister."
"Stupid child." Qin Yunuan touched Qin Baochuan's head, pulled his completely sweaty forehead back, and took out a sweat towel to carefully wipe the bean-sized sweat beads on Qin Baochuan's forehead.
Time slowly passed, and the incense cakes in the incense burnt were about to burn out. Just as Qin Yunuan felt that the trend of dizziness was getting more and more serious, Zhichan finally opened the bead curtain and came out and saluted Qin Yunuan, "Grandma, the old lady woke up and called Grandma San Shao to go in and talk."
Although his forehead was full of sweat, Qin Yunuan still kept a generous and dignified nod to Zhichan, and his spine was straight. Between his hands and feet, he still maintained elegance and virtuousness. These small details made Zhicicada, who had a lot of experience, secretly praise himself. This third young lady was indeed an extraordinary lady. .
The old lady looked at Qin Yunuan leading Baochuan over and showed a peaceful but indistinguishable smile: "When you are old, you are easy to feel sleepy. This sleep is uncertain. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Not long." Qin Yunuan bowed her head and smiled gently.
The old lady hummed coldly. She had been awarded the title of Mrs. Dexian when she married into King Ning's Mansion. In addition, the Duke of Zhenguo has always been full of confidence. Although she is thin and has no son to inherit the incense, there is an empress dowager, and a Princess Ning makes the Ge family straight. Therefore, the old lady of Ningwang Mansion is not afraid of anything. She speaks sharply and her wrists are even more sharp.
"Are you thinking that you have finally climbed to the status of a five-grade princess but didn't expect to wait here? If it had been someone else, you would have lifted the curtain to shout out. If you hadn't asked for something, who would be willing to suffer this injustice?" The old lady bowed her head and said coldly, tasting Biluochun, which was just the right temperature.
Qin Yunuan was slightly stunned, but then her heart was extremely clear. The old lady said that this idea would indeed be the inner activity that most women would have.
"Yu Nuan doesn't have such an idea." Qin Yunuan did not explain much, but just lowered her head and replied.
The old lady slowly raised her eyebrows, and her eyes seemed to be questioning.
Qin Yunuan blessed her body and then said, "Because Yu Nuan knew from the beginning that the old lady was pretending to be asleep, the old lady thought it was testing Yu Nuan. In fact, Yu Nuan also wanted to see how long Yu Nuan had been with the old lady. When Yu Nuan waited, the pillar of the pavilion probably shifted a finger. About an hour, Yu Nuan is worth an hour in the old lady's heart, and thank you for your praise.
In a sentence, it undoubtedly exposes Qin Yunuan's intelligence and cleverness. You should know that the reason why the old lady of Ning's mansion and Princess Ning can get along well with each other is that Princess Ning is simple and pure enough to avoid taking the limelight of the old lady. The principle of Shengyu He Shengliang is also applicable to the struggle in the inner house.
But no smart person does not want to meet a confidant, especially a woman like the old lady and the empress dowager who bravely broke through the shackles of this dynasty for women. In his heart, he is eager for a person similar to appear, and Qin Yunuan grasped this feature and succeeded. The land attracted the old lady's attention.
The old lady slightly restrained her eyebrows. It seemed that the common woman was more complicated than what she had learned before. In the past, she listened to Dou's crying in front of her. She only thought that the common woman only knew the fierce and lame methods of pickling. Last time she saw it in the lieutenant's mansion, she clearly saw that it was Qin Yunuan's trick. Although it was disgraceful, the effect was good. Today, Qin Yunuan has been waiting in the sun for so long and can still break her purpose. It seems that there are more places to dig in this common girl.
"Do you know that people who are too smart sometimes think they are smart?" The old lady squinned at Qin Yunuan. Qin Yunuan looked a little like when she was young, bold and indifferent, and seemed to be able to deal with everything.
Qin Yunuan smiled clearly: "Yu Nuan only knows that she has to fight for her own fate. The cicadas here are so noisy. How can the old lady who loves cleanliness fall asleep? Since the old lady wants to test Yu Nuan, Yu Nuan is willing to accept the test. As long as the old lady finally wants to let Yu Nuan in and admit that Yu Nuannuan has If you pass the test, it will be fine."
The old lady raised an inadvertent smile at the corners of her mouth, but the expression on her whole face was still condensed, and she glanced at Qin Baochuan gently: "Is this your brother in the Qin family?"
As soon as Qin Baochuan heard this, he immediately went forward and said, "Baochuan has met the old lady." The voice is loud and full of air.
But the old lady suddenly turned her head and said blankly, "He can't stay in Ningwang Mansion."
