Qin Jinyi carefully climbed onto the edge of the carriage, and slowly stepped on the footstool to get out of the carriage. She only felt that her injured calf was still aching, but she could barely hold on. The weather was cold, and the cold air seeped into the bones from the outside, making it even heavier.

She suffered from the discomfort in her legs. When today's event is completed, she will have to recover from the injury for two months. She will no longer be stingy with good soups and medicines. She can't be a bride with a lame leg, right?

In fact, if the banquet in the long house could be held a few days later, her injury would probably recover better, but now she really can't wait. She was still in confinement, and it was not easy to beg her grandmother Xue

She nodded and let her go out. For this reason, she took the risk of being scolded by her father Qin Bofu again and ran to her grandmother Xue's room in Sanjin Hospital with her injuries, and continued to attend to Xue's illness in the cold weather.

It lasted three days and three nights! Mr. Xue was still annoyed with her at first, but he softened his heart when he saw how attentive and petty she was and how she kept saying she was wrong.

At this age, Ms.

, knows how to be filial to her, and she is not willing to be alienated from this sweetheart anymore. Otherwise, who will she rely on to support her for the rest of her life?

Mrs. Xue wanted to lift the grounding of her eldest granddaughter. Recently, Qin Bofu was proud that the second wife of the Qin family did not dare to come to the door to pester her again. When he looked back and saw his mother's gloomy face, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards her. Mr. Xue was a little small.

He couldn't refuse such a small request, and Qin Jinyi finally got permission to move around freely at home. However, since she still had to recuperate from her injuries, this freedom was only in name. Most of the time, she still had to

Staying on the kang without moving.

When Qin Jinyi heard about the invitation from the eldest brother, she immediately went to ask Mrs.

Qin Jinchun went there, and then came Qin Xun, who Qin Bofu brought with him without permission. Most of the others had no share. And she was injured at home and couldn't go out, so there was no need to worry about it. Even if she was sulking or losing her temper, she still had to worry about it.

Will it affect her waist injury? The doctor said that she must rest and move as little as possible. If she doesn't take care of herself well, she may become paralyzed in the future!

Qin Bofu and his wife took their youngest daughter and concubine to visit the eldest brother's house. Mrs. Xue felt a little lonely at home. She wanted to keep her eldest granddaughter as a companion, but the latter was not welcomed by the eldest brother's house and the third house's family anyway. But the big grandson was not welcome.

If my granddaughter asks to go with her, won't she be left alone? How can this be possible?!

Qin Jinyi persuaded her with her eloquent words: "Father's next year's examination has been decided. Although the head of the house is helping to manage it, no news has spread yet, but at the latest in April next year, the Ministry of Personnel will definitely issue a document.

When the time comes when the father is living at home leisurely with his crown, it will be very different from the six-grade real lack in the past. Even if there are dignitaries who are not fooled by the rumors and take a fancy to their granddaughter's appearance and talent, they will have to think twice.

Why not take advantage of the Chinese New Year to visit relatives and show your granddaughter more often, and maybe some families will be willing to marry our family? The families that the eldest brother and the third brother interact with on weekdays are mostly dignitaries, and I think they are worthy of it.

The family background of the granddaughter. As long as the marriage is arranged before the official documents are issued, other families will not be able to regret it even if they find out that the father has lost his official position. Our family is not an ordinary family, it is the family of the Queen’s nephew.

!”

Mrs. Xue was still thinking about joining a high-ranking family. After listening to Qin Jinyi's words, she not only agreed to let her be a guest in the eldest room, but also gave her a lot of private jewelry and bought the latest high-quality rouge and gouache.

The eldest granddaughter dressed herself up more handsomely. It was a pity that she had no time to make the clothes. Mrs. Xue knew that the youngest granddaughter Qin Jinchun had just made two new clothes and was going to wear them when going out during the New Year. Although the clothes were a little short and did not fit Qin Jinyi's body,

But he could make do with the skirts, so he specifically asked Qin Jinchun to give two new skirts to the eldest sister.

Qin Jinchun felt extremely depressed. The materials for the two new skirts were gifts from her two cousins, Qin Jinhua and Qin Hanzhen! However, thinking that Qin Jinyi was about to make a fool of herself, she held back her breath and asked the girl to use it with a straight face.

The skirt was sent over. Originally, she felt a little ashamed of her grandmother because she wanted to set up her eldest sister. Now there is a matter of snatching the skirt. In addition, her mother, Xiao Xue, was ordered to stay at home to take care of the patients and was not allowed to go.

After wishing her eldest son a happy New Year, she no longer had such thoughts in her mind.

Qin Jinyi walked elegantly into Songfeng Hall. Although the injury on her leg was still hurting, she felt that she was particularly beautiful today. She could actually detect the unkind look from her younger sister, but what did it matter? It was just that

It's just two skirts. She is the eldest sister, and a younger sister should be more polite.

She walked into the Songfeng Hall and greeted the Xu family, the Niu family, the Yao family, the Min family, and Qin Youzhen and Qin Youyi according to the etiquette. When she straightened up, she quickly glanced into the room and found that the Xu family was still there.

I was a little disappointed because I didn't come.

She didn't realize that Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Niu and others were very kind and kind to Qin Jinchun, but their attitude towards her was very cold. Not only the elders, but also the girls treated her lightly and politely, and greeted each other politely.

He stopped paying attention to her. She sat alone on one side, but Qin Jinchun quickly merged into the group of sisters, talking and laughing, which made her seem even more out of place.

Qin Jinyi was paying attention to when the Xu family would arrive, but soon she found herself isolated. She was a little annoyed and wanted to scold her sisters for disrespecting her eldest sister, but she thought that she would have a big plan later and it would be too eye-catching.

, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for a while. Thinking of this, she suppressed the anger in her heart and called the two girls in a low voice: "You go around, meet old friends, find a suitable place on the way, and then come back to me immediately

."

The painter was worried and couldn't help but persuade her: "Girl, why don't you forget it? It's so cold today and your injury hasn't healed yet. What if something goes wrong..."

Qin Jinyi glared at her: "I know what's going on, why are you so nagging?! Just do what I tell you, and don't worry about the rest!"

The painting studio hesitated to speak, so Nong Ying pulled her and knelt down and said, "The slaves will leave first." He pulled the painting building out of the Songfeng Hall and went to a quiet place before whispering: "Don't be confused.

Didn’t we agree a long time ago? You’ve tried too hard to persuade me, but if the girl becomes suspicious, it will bring trouble to ourselves!”

The painter sighed: "It doesn't matter... the girl can't suffer a big loss anyway." She glanced at the corners of Nong Ying's sleeves and said, "Have you prepared everything? Put it away?"

Nongying nodded expressionlessly: "Don't worry."

The two of them walked away separately according to the plan they had discussed in advance.

After sending out the two girls, Qin Jinyi continued to sit and wait uneasily for the Xu family to arrive. The result did not disappoint her. Soon after, Xu Zheng arrived with his brothers and sisters, without any elders accompanying them. Qin Jinyi was still a little disappointed that no elders made the decision to agree to the marriage.

, after all, there are still some shortcomings.

After everyone greeted each other and bowed, they gathered in twos and threes to talk. Xu Zheng was the treasure in the eyes of the elders, so naturally he was called over by Mrs. Xu. He was the oldest, and after a while he finished speaking in front of his aunt, and had to

He took his younger brother Xu Rong to the table where the male relatives were sitting outside. Xu Rong didn't show up, but stuck to his sisters and joined the girls together.

He has been sweet-mouthed since he was young, and has always been gentle and courteous to his sisters. However, he quickly became close to the girls.

But all this excitement has nothing to do with Qin Jinyi. She can only sit aside helplessly, watching the two young masters and girls of the Xu family get along happily with the eldest and third sisters. She wants to say a few words, but no one else can.

Not only did she not pay attention to him, Xu Lan, the second girl of the Xu family, also had a look of contempt on her face.

Qin Jinyi was angry in her heart, but because Xu Lan was Xu Zheng's sister, even though she was a concubine, she was not an outsider. She was afraid of making Xu Zheng angry, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she simply turned around and stared at Xu Zheng.

But Xu Zheng also ignored her. After having fun in front of the elders, he ran over to his younger brother, said hello to the cousins, chatted a few words about home affairs, and then went to the front table.

Qin Shutao and Min's eight-year-old legitimate son Qin Duan volunteered to lead the way. The three cousins ​​held hands and resigned. Qin Jinyi couldn't help but walk to the window and watched Xu Zheng disappear outside the courtyard gate, her eyes filled with obsession.

Qin Hanzhen glanced at her and shook his head secretly. He turned around and exchanged glances with Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun, both of whom felt that Qin Jinyi's mind seemed to be getting increasingly unclear.

Qin Jinyi was bored in the house, so she simply went out and sat on the verandah, with a stove in her sleeves. There were curtains hanging on the verandah to block the wind, so it wasn't too cold. After most of an hour, both the painting studio and Nongying were busy.

Back. The painting studio still said the same thing: "There are many people in this mansion today, and everything is very lively. If you want to find a quiet place, I'm afraid you have to go to the garden. But it's too cold there.

I'm afraid that Mr. Xu is not that easily fooled..."

Qin Jinyi didn't listen and only looked at Nongying. Nongying said calmly: "Going out of Songfeng Hall, past the east corridor is Wanxinzhai. It used to be the courtyard where our wife lived. Now it is empty and no one is taking care of it. Why don't you, girl?

How about choosing that place? After all, it is a familiar place, it is convenient for us to go there, and it is quiet there and no one will pass by easily."

When Qin Jinyi heard this, she thought it was good: "Let's go over there. Go ahead and make preparations for Nongying, and go to Zhulou for Painting. He should be in the front yard, and he must have stabilized the inkstone rain."

However, Yan Yu at this time had just thrown Zhu Lou away. He hurried to the banquet in Kurong Hall and called out his young master Qin Jian: "Young Master, Prince Suning is here.

I’m waiting to see you at the door!”

Qin Jian was surprised: "Why are you here today?" He hurriedly greeted him and saw Zhao Mo sitting in the concierge, talking kindly to the steward of the outer courtyard of Chengenhou Mansion.

When Zhao Mo saw Qin Jian coming, he smiled and said, "I have nothing to do today. I was walking around the city. When I got nearby, I remembered that I hadn't visited you since I returned to Beijing. I was afraid that you would complain, so I came over quickly. He entered the door.

, I just remembered that today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. I am afraid that there are some spoiled guests in your house, and I, an outsider, can't stand up to you, so I can only call you out to talk. Do you have time to spare? If not, let's get together another day.

"

Qin Jian said hurriedly: "It's rare for you to come here, why do you say we will get together some other time? It can only be regarded as a family banquet at home today. We have invited two aunts and cousins ​​from the Xu family, who are all relatives. You are also from our family.

Relatives, they have lived in the house for a long time and are not considered outsiders. My grandmother, third uncle, and third uncle will be happy to see you. Come with me quickly, but no heretics are allowed!"

Zhao Mo was doing everything he could, but when he heard that the Xu family brothers were here, he immediately became enthusiastic and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
