Chapter 1050 Family Banquet
Author: Loeva
This New Year in the Yongjia Marquis Mansion was more lively than in previous years, and everyone was happy from top to bottom.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the three heads of the Qin family gathered at the Chengenhou Mansion for a family banquet. Qin Hanzhen's sisters also gathered happily. This year, Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jinhua all made plans.
Although Qin Jian had not yet made an engagement, the Yao family had been eyeing him and it was said that they already had an eye for him.
Even Qin Su, who is a concubine, has been arranged by the Yao family to arrange a marriage. Although the marriage has not been officially decided yet, it will not change unless there is an accident. Now we just have to wait for Qin Jian
The eldest brother was engaged, and it was his turn. Naturally, the other party was not from a prominent family, and the girl was also a concubine from a low background. She was very interested in Qin Su.
There is no help for her future. This is what Yao said casually, the string that her mother-in-law's family gave her. They didn't even carefully examine the girl's personality and character. However, the two of them are well-matched, so no one should find fault with the other.
.Even though both Xu and Qin Zhonghai knew that this was Yao's trick, no one cared about it.
It's just Qin Jinyi, the second wife, who hasn't decided to get married yet. She is the eldest among the sisters. Now the second and third sisters below her have married. The fourth sister, Qin Jinchun, and her mother, Xiao Xue, have also begun to see each other.
, but she hasn’t settled down yet, so her mood will definitely not get better. Basically, during the entire family dinner, she kept a straight face, without even a trace of a smile. The look she looked at the two eldest cousins also revealed
Not good.
Seeing her like this, Qin Jinhua felt a little uncomfortable. She originally wanted to talk to Qin Jinyi, but the latter ignored her, so she had no choice but to turn around and chat with Qin Jinchun.
Qin Hanzhen had no intention of paying any attention to Qin Jinyi. He was not used to her bad habits! Who owed her anything? She was in the situation she was in now, wasn't it because she tried to seduce Xu Zheng here a year ago?
Is that so? The original witnesses and insiders are all still present now, so she still has the nerve to act like the eldest sister here and make others look down upon her?
Qin Hanzhen treated her as transparent throughout the whole process, but she didn't expect Qin Jinyi to be cold to her anymore. Instead, she said something weird: "The third sister got engaged to the clan king, and she started to put on airs. She didn't even let her sisters go."
In my eyes, this is too rude, isn’t it? You haven’t become a princess yet!”
Qin Han retorted with a real smile: "If I ignore you, I'm just pretending to be a princess, and I don't care about anyone. So what does it mean if the eldest sister ignores the second sister? You haven't even gotten engaged to the clan king yet.
Are you getting arrogant now?!"
Qin Jinyi choked and stared at her, but couldn't say a word.
Qin Jinhua advised with some hesitation: "Forget it, we are all sisters, don't argue." Qin Jinchun held the handkerchief firmly at the side, staring at the cup in front of him without speaking, and did not look at the eldest sister. She was afraid that
I couldn't help but quarrel with my eldest sister in front of the eldest sister and the sisters from the third room.
Now that she was at home, it was not like she had never quarreled with Qin Jinyi. She could no longer stand the eldest sister's temper.
Qin Jinhua wanted to smooth things over, but Qin Han really gave her face and didn't continue to beat up the drowned dog. She wouldn't take Qin Jinyi's words to heart, wasn't she just insulting her? Is Qin Jinyi a person with weight in her words?
Who among the three heads of the Qin family would take the harsh words here seriously? Mrs. Xue didn't come today, and it's impossible for anyone to support her.
As soon as the lunch family dinner ended, Qin Jinyi stood up immediately and urged her mother, Xiao Xue, to go home. Xiao Xue was talking to Yao, Min, and Feng, and they talked about Qin Jinchun's marriage. How could it be possible?
Leaving like this? Not to mention her, even Qin Bofu would not miss this rare family gathering and run home right after dinner. He also wanted to talk more with his two cousins from the third room who had not been in the capital for a long time.
Let's chat and connect with each other. Especially Qin Ping, who is now the heir apparent of Yongjia, and whose future is probably brighter than Qin Zhonghai's, and who doesn't have decades of grudges with him, so how can he not get close to him?
Her parents didn't want to leave, and even if Qin Jinyi wanted to go home, she couldn't make it. Unless she really made up her mind to take a carriage back with a girl alone. However, the coachman and the girl might not listen to her. Xiao Xue
Thinking that she had caused a big trouble in the Marquis Chengen's Mansion last year, he ordered the girl to keep an eye on her before leaving home today. She was not allowed to wander around the Marquis' Mansion, nor was she allowed to go to any quiet place to rest. She had to
She stayed with her mother and sister from beginning to end to avoid the opportunity to be alone. Qin Jinyi was troubled in her heart, but she had no chance to be willful.
Her parents would not condone her without her grandmother. Now her marriage is difficult, her legs are disabled, and her net worth has plummeted. As her cousins gradually grow up, she no longer has much value in marriage. She resents both of them.
As a first cousin, she also knew in her heart that she might never be able to surpass them in this life.
Needless to say, the marriage of the third cousin Qin Hanzhen was a clan prince and a holy wife. She was married to a princess and had her own fiefdom. Qin Jinyi thought about how she looked down on Zhao Mo who was living alone in Qingfeng Pavilion.
She was willing to include him in her list of marriage partners, but she felt unspeakable regret in her heart. If she had settled a marriage with him at that time, how could she have ended up in such a miserable end today?
The marriage of second cousin Qin Jinhua has also been decided. It is said that he is the eldest son of the minister of Dali Temple. He is from a famous family, the grandson of the royal family, and a talented man. This marriage seems to be more ideal than that of Xu Zheng. Qin Jinyi did not expect that Qin Jinhua would lose Xu Zheng's marriage.
Later, she was able to marry a better partner than Xu Zheng, and she felt equally unhappy. Unfortunately, Xu Zheng was already engaged, and now he was observing filial piety, and his family was in decline, and he could no longer attract the attention of his grandmother Xue. Qin Jinyi
While regretful, she was even more indignant about Qin Jinhua's marriage. She was obviously a mediocre woman that the Xu family looked down upon. She had been inferior to her eldest sister in everything since she was a child. How could Qin Jinhua get such a good marriage?
!She should marry a mediocre person like Xu Rong to be considered a match!
Various thoughts flashed through Qin Jinyi's mind, and the expression on her face was sometimes ferocious, sometimes proud, as if she had learned to change her face. Qin Jinhua, who was at the same table, was surprised. Qin Jinrong, who was at the next table, was directly frightened by her, so Qin Jinchun comforted her.
: "It's okay. Fifth sister, ignore her. She is suffering from hysteria. She will be fine after a while."
Are you trying to coax the child by saying this?! If he is really hysterical, can the second wife let Qin Jinyi come out to meet someone?
Qin Jinrong rolled his eyes, turned his head and ignored Qin Jinchun, and only talked to Qin Hanzhu. The two cousins went to school together every day, and now they are becoming more and more familiar with each other. Qin Jinrong only had this concubine cousin as a classmate, and she was thinking
There was once a dislike, but I put it aside long ago.
Qin Jinhua whispered to Qin Jinchun: "Fifth sister just has this temper. In fact, she has no other meaning." Qin Jinchun smiled at her: "Second sister, don't worry, I also watched her grow up, how can I know her temper?"
Qin Hanzhen asked Qin Jinchun in a low voice: "Eldest sister is at home on weekdays, is she still the same?"
Qin Jinchun curled his lips and said, "There is less trouble, because no one except my grandmother will condone her, and even my father often criticizes her for her faults. My father does not obey my grandmother's words in everything, so the eldest sister cannot be willful. She also
She just bullied Qin Xun and me. But I am not easy to mess with now. If she goes too far, I am not afraid to argue with her. Anyway, it is not me who suffers in the end. She is much better behaved now and is not like before
, he always gets into trouble with me."
Qin Hanzhen said disapprovingly: "If she really learns well from now on and never does anything again, maybe it will be her good fortune."
Qin Jinhua blushed slightly and asked Qin Jinchun in a low voice: "Has the eldest sister's marriage never been settled? Is it possible that the second uncle still wants to introduce her to a wealthy family?" If Mrs. Xue really cares about a disabled granddaughter, she still hugs her.
With such extravagant hopes, it may be difficult for Qin Jinyi to get married in this life.
Qin Jinchun hesitated before speaking: "What about this... Grandma has given up the idea of marrying into the royal family, and is now looking for someone from the second and youngest sons of those noble royal families." In other words, there are still people.
The idea of marrying into a high-ranking family is just that Xue himself feels that he is much more pragmatic.
Qin Jinhua and Qin Hanzhen were speechless. They looked at Qin Jinyi who was in a state of fugue and said nothing. Anyway, their marriage has been decided, and they are not in the same room as Qin Jinyi. It doesn't matter whether the eldest cousin can get married or not.
, they will just hold the wedding as usual. Even if someone gossips behind their back, it is not the fault of the eldest or third wife.
While he was talking, Qin Jian came over. As the eldest son, he was always used to taking care of his sisters. He came here specifically to ask some of his cousins if they wanted to go to the temple fair on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year? Or the old place of Longfu
He visited the temple last year and had a great time. He thought the sisters might be interested in revisiting it.
Qin Jinchun's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, but she hadn't asked her parents for their opinions yet, so she couldn't give a definite answer yet. But she felt that with the weight of what she said in front of her parents, there should be no problem.
Qin Jinrong was also eager to give it a try, and she also tried to persuade Qin Hanzhu to come together: "It's very interesting! I go shopping with my cousins almost every year, but they control me too tightly and I feel uncomfortable. Let's go with my eldest brother.
Let's go and let big brother buy whatever we want to buy for us!" Qin Hanzhu was moved and only looked at Qin Hanzhen with her eyes.
Qin Hanzhen smiled and said: "Go if you want to. There will be many servants around us then, and we won't let you be abducted. It's just that the journey is a bit long, so I'm afraid you will be tired."
Qin Hanzhu said hurriedly: "I'm not afraid of being tired. My legs and feet are very good." She runs from Xifu to Dongfu to go to school every day. How can she not walk back and forth several times a day? Although she looks thin, she is actually in good health.
Her elder sister Qin Hanzhen once advised her to walk around more and exercise her legs and feet, and she obeyed. Now she is indeed in good health, and she doesn't even get cold in the cold weather.
Qin Jinyi had come to her senses as soon as Qin Jian approached. At this time, she glanced at Qin Hanzhu displeasedly, suspecting that the concubine was insinuating herself and secretly mocking her lameness. But Qin Hanzhu didn't notice her at all.
With Qin Jinrong's expression on her face, she was chatting happily about the stalls at the temple fair, one about the temple fair in Beijing, and the other about the temple fair in Datong. Qin Jinyi's expression was completely flirtatious for the blind man to see.
After Qin Jian got the answer, he turned around and left with satisfaction. From the beginning to the end, he never asked Qin Jinyi if he wanted to accompany him.
Qin Jinyi reacted and her face gradually turned red. However, the three sisters at the same table did not take this matter to heart, and the two little sisters at the next table had no time to talk to her. Who still remembers her as the eldest sister?
Where is his dignity?
Qin Jinyi's face became redder and redder, full of anger. She turned around and glared at her sister Qin Jinchun, blaming her for refusing to help her out.
When Qin Jinchun saw it, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes. He turned his head and continued chatting with his cousins.
