Chapter 96 What's the matter

Only then did everyone see that she was holding a box with black paint and red scribble in her hand. Ruyi took it over and placed it on the kang table in front of Qin Daixin.

Qin Daixin smiled, but without the intention of opening it in front of Fangqiao, and asked, "What good thing do you want to give me?"

Fang Qiao said, "It's just some jewelry. My aunt said that when the lady is old, she always needs more jewelry to be with her. She doesn't go out of the door, so wearing these good things is a waste."

Last time, Su had already given her a box of dowry jewelry, why did she give so much this time?

The Su family is a lost scholarly family, and they only have a reputation. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that Su wouldn't have changed from a wife to a concubine, causing the separation of flesh and blood for twenty years. At that time, the jewelry box could have been understood as Su's dowry, but where did the jewelry in the box come from?

Fang Qiao seemed to understand her thoughts and said, "This is what the master gave to her aunt." After that, she was about to go back, and Ruyi kept her, but she said, "My aunt's body is getting heavier, so I'd better go out and serve her around her." She bent her knees and retreated.

Qin Daixin was reluctant to go to see him off, and stared at the box on the table and became stunned.

Ruyi sent Fangqiao all the way to the corner gate of the yard and asked whisper: "Sister Fangqiao, you will be eighteen after the New Year. Isn't the aunt letting you go out of the house yet?"

Fang Qiao was stunned and said, "I'm just talking about it many times. I really don't want it. You know the situation of my family. I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will ask me for marriage. Wouldn't I be over in this life? Why not stay by my aunt's side and serve her and the young master, so that I can feel more at ease."

Fangqiao's sister-in-law is a money-recognized person. She wanted Fangqiao to come out several times in order to marry her to an old rich man in his fifties in the same village.

The two of them talked for a while, and each returned to the yard without mentioning it.

Qin Daixin retreated and stared at the box in a daze. When she mentioned Su, she always thought of her brother who had never met before. For some reason, her heart was always sour. She was afraid that she could not resist the closest love in her bones that was thicker than water!

The box contains mostly gorgeous jewelry such as gold hairpin, and it seems that Qin Congwen is still good to Su, at least he has never treated her badly except for her status.

But isn’t the status the thing women value most in their lives?

Thinking of this, she also stopped looking, called Ruyi to come, and told her to put it away.

At the You hour, an old lady came to urge her and said that the masters who went to watch the lanterns in each courtyard were almost ready, and asked the third lady if she was ready.

Qin Daixin had been ready for a long time. After receiving the letter from the mother-in-law, he asked Ruyi, Ailian, Xueqing and Chunli to follow him along the temple to the corner gate of the Qin Mansion carriage. There was a row of wing rooms here, and several of them were used for the master to rest. Qin Daixin followed the woman's instructions and walked into one of them.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a lot of snacks, tea and other items in the small hall. A group of girls were waiting aside. When they saw her coming, they bowed their knees and saluted. A girl put a curtain on her and turned around and entered the east room.

Fang Wanru sat dignifiedly on the big kang by the window, holding Qin Ziyi, who was already four years old in her arms. Qin Daixin glanced at him with his eyes and saw Li sitting on a three-legged stool. Behind her was a plump woman in her thirties. Qin Daixin recognized that the woman was Yi Ge'er's wet nurse.

It was really unexpected that the aunts in the family were very at ease. Why did this aunt Li act so unruly?

Lin also dressed up in great costumes. Although she wore a lot of jewelry with pearls and gold, it was hard to hide her bookish temperament. She only looked like a jade bone, elegant and elegant, but not vulgar.

She thought about it carefully and stepped forward to greet Fang Wanru, and then sat next to Lin's side.

"You sisters, count down to you, you are impatient. The second and fourth girls have not been cleaned up yet, so this one comes first." Fang Wanru seemed in a good mood, teasing Brother Yi with the orange in her hand.

Brother Yi is usually a child who is easy to take care of. When he sees so many people, he doesn’t cry and keeps playing.

Qin Daixin smiled and said, "My mother knows me best. Today, on such a day, how can I sit still?"

Everyone laughed for a while, and then heard the rushing footsteps outside the door. Except for the second lady Qin Qiaoxin, no one dared to act like this. When they lifted the curtain, they saw Qin Qianxin, who was as red as charcoal, rushed over like a gust of wind.

She seems to prefer red, with a narrow-sleeved brocade jacket with red sunset, and a high-waisted skirt with embroidered dark green water ripples in the same color. She looks very beautiful and has a different style.

Fang Wanru said, "Why are you so in a hurry and don't look like a girl's house?" Her tone was gentle, but she didn't mean to blame her. The pampering in her eyes was also from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Qianxin was not angry either. She asked Fang Wanru for An and met Lin again.

Lin Daixin quickly stood up and called out "Second Sister". Although they didn't like each other, they should be able to live up to their own way. The two sisters greeted each other and then sat down again.

Qin Daixin still sat next to Lin, but Qin Qianxin took off her shoes and sat next to Fang Wanru. She never looked at Li from beginning to end.

Li was a little embarrassed, but suddenly said to Qin Dai: "Miss Third is so beautiful, but I wonder if it was made new before the New Year? I heard that I also made a set of misty brocade little jackets and skirts for Miss Third. They are beautiful, why didn't I wear them today?"

There is a bit of provocation in the words.

Qin Daixin hurriedly glanced at Qin Qianxin, and the latter's face turned ugly.

Qin Qianxin knew that cloth and knew it was made of jade-weaving material. Not to mention the price, she might not be able to buy it even if she had money. In her early years, her mother got a piece by chance. She begged several times but she couldn't ask for a little bit of clothes. Why was her mother willing to give the material to the third brother?

"Aunt Li is a well-informed person. He knows better than the girl who carries the box in my house. He just has a small jacket and skirt with misty brocade. But the clothes are too exquisite, and I am afraid that I will scratch them when I go out on the street, so I feel really distressed, so I don't wear them." Qin Daixin pretended not to hear Li's mockery and replied to her calmly.

Li's face was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say to refute it for a moment. He didn't know when these three ladies became so powerful, but they actually compared themselves with a girl with a box and cage.

Fang Wanru didn't like this topic and said, "Why haven't the fifth girl come yet?" But she didn't mention Qin Ruoxin.

Zheng's mother hurriedly said, "I send someone to see you." After that, she sent a little girl to Furong Garden.

The fifth lady Qin Peixin was born to Qi. She was only six years old. Qin Daixin had seen her several times. She only felt that this child was timid and was careful in everything she did. She knew how to read and look the most. Fortunately, she was still young and couldn't tell what her temperament was.

Shaoqing then a daughter-in-law with a woman's head combed to lead the fifth lady in, and saluted Fang Wanru in in a regular manner. She met Lin and two sisters again.

Qin Daixin noticed that the fifth lady secretly looked at Fang Wanru, and saw that she was holding Brother Yi in her arms and her face was as normal, so she secretly felt relieved.

Is it because I am afraid of making Fang Wanru unhappy? It’s really hard for her to be a six-year-old child.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, another flower-like man came in. It was the fourth lady Qin Ruoxin. She was wearing a peach-colored five-bat-carved cloud-covered jacket, combed her ingot head, and only two vivid silk flowers. If you look closely, you can see two small magnolia pendants hanging on your earlobes.

"Mother, my daughter is late." Qin Ruoxin first saluted Fang Wanru, and then spoke a little apologetically.

"No defense, sit next to your sister-in-law." Fang Wanru seemed very casual, as if she really didn't care much.

Qin Ruoxin had just met Lin and Qin Qianxin, and then sat next to Qin Daixin. As usual, he smiled shyly at Qin Daixin, as if the dispute between the two of them was just a one-man show that day Qin Daixin sang alone.

Qin Daixin didn't mind at all, and smiled at her friendly, and waved her to let her hear her.

Qin Ruoxin paused on his face, and then immediately showed a happy expression, and he really put his ears over.

Fang Wanru saw the two of them every move, but she had no expression and still teased Yi Ge'er in her arms.

Qin Daixin turned a blind eye to everyone's thoughts in the room, and said quietly to Qin Ruoxin: "Is this considered you provoking me?" If Qin Daixin had been the same before, she would be resentful about the disputes in the garden. Not only would she not smile, but she would probably sneer at Qin Ruoxin's show of kindness. Qin Ruoxin was afraid that she would have made such a plan, and she would pretend to be "nothing has happened long ago", so that Fang Wanru felt that Qin Daixin was a person who didn't care about sisters' affection. But this time, she was afraid that she would disappoint her.

Qin Ruoxin turned pale and couldn't speak.

Fang Wanru just pretended that she had not seen the interaction between the two. After looking at the sky, she ordered the mothers to invite Fang and Qin Congwen to come.

Qin Daixin was stunned. Fang was old and rarely went out. On festivals like today, she just told Fang Wanru to take care of several children, and she had to rest early. Qin Congwen was the head of the family. In the past, he had always been with business accounts, and he rarely attended such occasions. What's wrong with this today?

She kind of understands why Li suddenly appeared.

An old lady replied that the grandma and the master had already gotten on their own carriages and only invited the ladies and grandmas in the house and all the ladies out.

Fang Wanru hurriedly handed Brother Yi to the nurse who was taking care of him, and then told Qin Qianxin to get up quickly. The two hurriedly asked the mother to help put on her shoes, get off the kang, and make some clothes and decorations. Then she took the lead in walking out of the Ai Pavilion.

When everyone saw this, they quickly got up and came out one after another.

It was not until he left the corner gate and got on the carriage that Qin Daixin learned from Ruyi that this year's Spring Festival was indeed different from previous years.

The magistrate built a high platform on the street and invited many performing and performing arts to entertain the people of Taizhou during the Shangyuan Festival. He said that the well-known families in Taizhou City were all posted. Under the stage, they discussed the event of the Taizhou Chamber of Commerce.

Qin Daixin disagreed, and only felt that this matter had nothing to do with her. After thinking about it carefully, she felt a little strange. This magistrate is a famous and honest official and should not use the name of Shangyuan Festival to make money, but what is going on with this grand event in the chamber of commerce?

ps: It’s probably the Chinese New Year, so everyone doesn’t have time to watch the updates, right? (To be continued)
