While the four of them were having dinner, the servants also tidied up the guest room. The father and daughter of the Qin family were very tired after a long day's journey, so they did not chat much with the Qin He couple. After washing, they went back to their room to rest.

.

The couple also returned to the room. Qin He discussed with Li Yingran: "I haven't seen my eldest brother for a few days. I want to keep them in the capital for a few more days. However, there are many things in the Hanlin Academy recently and it is inconvenient to ask for leave. I can only trouble my wife."

Li Yingran said angrily: "We are all family members. I am very happy to see my eldest brother and niece. Why do you need to see me outside?"

Qin He smiled apologetically and said: "Yes, yes, my wife is the most affectionate and courteous, but she is too narrow-minded for her husband."

Li Yingran was amused, and suddenly she thought of something and suggested: "Master Zhang is hosting a full-moon banquet the day after tomorrow. I have to accept all the wedding invitations. Why don't you bring Xiaoxiao with you?"

Qin He nodded: "Xiaoxiao likes fun, she will be very happy if you take her there. It's best to arrange someone on the eldest brother's side to take him around. It happens that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, so it's time to buy some gifts for parents to take back.

"

Li Yingran wrote them down one by one and asked the housekeeper to take care of them tomorrow morning.

Speaking of which, all the servants in the Zhuangyuan Mansion are Li Yingran's companions, and there are not many people who need them. Apart from the couple, the only person who can make trouble is the housekeeper. Li Yingran is a female family member, and it is not appropriate to accompany the uncle when shopping, so he can only be handed over to the housekeeper.

The butler did it.

Qin Shan didn't want to stay long. According to his plan, he would take his daughter to go shopping on the street the next day, take her to eat as much as she wanted, and then set off back to Le'an early on the third day.

He couldn't bear the sincerity of Qin He and his wife to stay, so he decided to stay in the capital for one more day. However, the plan changed. When Qin Xiaoxiao followed Li Yingran to Zhang Mansion to congratulate him, he unexpectedly met the Yun family who also came to congratulate him.

Looking at Qin Xiaoxiao, who looked more and more like her husband, it was difficult for Yun to pretend not to see it. Thinking of the fact that she had not been able to bring the little girl home to her mother-in-law last time, and that she had not received a good look from her mother-in-law for several days, she

I even want to know if there is any relationship between this child and her husband.

As her mind raced, Mrs. Yun sent an invitation to Li Yingran: "My mother-in-law sent me a few boxes of rouge from the south, which are not available in the powder shops in the capital. If Mrs. Qin doesn't mind, come and have a look tomorrow!"

Li Yingran knew that her husband had been given careful guidance by Qin Huai for half a year, and Qin Huai had contributed a lot to his success in high school. It was right to say that he was half of her husband's teacher. After the couple returned to Beijing, they even visited Qin Huai in the Qin Mansion with gifts.

At this time, I got the invitation from the Yun family, thinking that her mother-in-law was going to open a fragrant powder shop in the capital, and wanted to be famous among official wives like them, so she responded favorably: "Mrs. Qin sincerely invites you, Yingran should go to the appointment."

Yun's face showed joy, she pointed at Qin Xiaoxiao and said impatiently: "Your niece is very cute. It happens that I have a naughty boy at home. The two of them will definitely play together. I will take her with me tomorrow."

bring it on!"

Li Yingran didn't think much about it, thinking that she really liked Qin Xiaoxiao, and couldn't help but look embarrassed: "My eldest brother is going to take this girl home early tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid he won't be able to go to the appointment with me."

Yun felt anxious and quickly leaned over to coax Qin Xiaoxiao: "There are many delicious and fun things at my aunt's house. Would you like to come to my aunt's house as a guest tomorrow?"

Qin Xiaoxiao had no impression of the Yun family anymore, so how could she easily agree to visit a stranger's house, so she politely said, "Thank you, auntie~ I have to go home tomorrow, so I can't go to your house to play."

Yun refused to give up and continued to persuade: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in just two days. I don't know how lively the capital will be then. Why don't you go home after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, the lively scenes of last year's Mid-Autumn Festival and all kinds of delicious and fun things came to mind. He was a little confused for a while: "But, I have to go home tomorrow..."

She still has to study. If she comes back late, her husband will be angry, right? It’s terrible that her husband will be angry, and he will definitely hit her on the palm of her hand.

"It's so rare to come to the capital once. It doesn't matter if we go back two days later." Yun saw the little girl's thoughts and added more fuel.

"Well, well, I have to ask my dad." Qin Xiaoxiao, a child under six years old, could not resist the temptation and agreed under Yun's expectant eyes.

"Okay, okay, my aunt is waiting for you to come." Mrs. Yun breathed a sigh of relief and was already planning to keep the little girl for dinner tomorrow and meet her husband who was returning home from the lower office to clear up the suspicions in her heart.

As for whether Qin Shan would allow Qin Xiaoxiao to come as a guest, she wasn't worried at all. Children don't understand the ways of the world, and adults must understand.

After the wedding banquet, Qin Xiaoxiao followed Li Yingran back to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion. Qin Shan was also there at this moment, so she told her about Yun's invitation to play.

Qin Shan said in confusion: "They are offering rouge, what can you do if you go?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked confused: "Don't you let me eat and play?"

Qin Shan laughed loudly, rubbed her little head and said to Li Yingran: "Master Qin is so kind to the third child and the Qin family that Mrs. Qin is speechless. It's not good if I don't let this girl go. I will trouble my siblings tomorrow.

"

Li Yingran said quickly: "Brother, Xiaoxiao is a good child. I am happy to take her out."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he knew that his father had agreed, so he interrupted: "Sir, he allowed us three days of leave. We have already missed one day today. Will he hit me if we delay for another day?"

Qin Shan comforted him: "Don't be afraid, dad will explain to Mr. Xu when we get back, and Mr. Xu won't blame you."

Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and asked more carefully: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming next, how about we go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Qin Shan refused without hesitation: "No, if we delay for two more days, your grandfather will go to the capital and beat your father."

The old man is more nervous about his daughter's studies than he is. He must not be chased and beaten by the old man just to have fun for two more days. Even at thirty years old, he needs to be embarrassed.

Qin Xiaoxiao said sadly: "I still want to find Brother Li. Brother Li will definitely be angry if he knows that I come to the capital and don't go to play with him."

Qin Shan was speechless: "We don't even know where Young Master Jing's home is, where are you going to find it?"

Qin Xiaoxiao said plausibly: "Just look for it on the street. The streets are lively on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Brother Li will definitely go shopping and guess lantern riddles like last year. Let's just look for it in a lively place."

Qin Shan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, waved his hands and said: "We must go back the day after tomorrow, otherwise Mr. Xu will slap you on the palm of your hand, and I won't care!"

Qin Xiaoxiao shuddered and didn't dare to mention staying for two more days, but still couldn't help complaining: "If dad had let me know earlier that he was coming to the capital this month, I would have told brother Li in the letter."

Qin Shan pretended not to hear and continued to talk to Li Yingran about going to Qin's house tomorrow.

Looking at her little niece with a high pout, Li Yingran covered her lips and snickered, but did not tell her father and daughter that she knew where Jing Heng's mansion was.

On the day Sanchao returned home, her brother Li Ke went through the phone with her and informed her of Jingheng's identity.

She watched from the sidelines as Jing Heng treated Qin Xiaoxiao as if he were a dispensable playmate. However, the two had known each other for several years and the entire Qin family still did not know Jing Heng's identity. It was not easy for her to make random guesses and it was not convenient for her to be there.

At this time, Jingheng’s residence was revealed.

After breakfast the next day, Qin Xiaoxiao followed Qin Shan's instructions and went to the Qin Mansion with Li Yingran as a guest. Among the gifts he brought was a basket of jujubes.

This basket is very delicate, and the jujubes are arranged in an extraordinary way. Just looking at it makes me want to pick one and take a bite.

The Number One Scholar's Mansion was some distance away from the Qin Mansion, and the carriage drove for about three moments before arriving. The two got off the carriage, and as soon as they revealed their identities to the door of the Qin Mansion, the Yun family came to pick them up with a group of maids.

Li Yingran concealed her surprise and said sheepishly: "I bothered Mrs. Qin to greet me in person. It's Yingran's impoliteness."

In terms of seniority, Qin Huai had a teacher-student relationship with Qin He, and Yunshi was the elder; in terms of rank, Yunshi was a fourth-grade Gongren, and Li Yingran was a sixth-grade Anren. When Li Yingran came to Qin Mansion as a guest, Yunshi didn't have to go out to greet her.

Yun received the gaze that fell on Qin Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Our two families are very close, and we happen to both have the surname Qin. Maybe we were the same family five hundred years ago, so there is no need for those false gifts."

Li Yingran always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she could only follow her words and said: "Master Qin and Mrs. Qin are also people from Le'an. Maybe it is true."

Yun nodded and said casually: "I will ask my master to look through the family tree later to see if my ancestor is related to the Qin family in Qingshan Village."

The two of them walked in chatting and laughing. Yun took the initiative to hold Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and asked her what she liked to eat so that the kitchen could prepare it. Knowing that the little girl liked to eat various desserts, she seriously ordered the maid to inform the kitchen to prepare them.

Serve something fresh.

The Qin family has Mrs. Qin as an elder, so Li Yingran naturally wanted to take Qin Xiaoxiao over to ask, so Yun took them to Mrs. Qin's yard naturally.

Last night, Mrs. Qin knew that the little girl who looked like her son was going to be a guest, so she got up early and waited in the house.
