Chapter 112 1Avenging shame
Qin Yuan seemed unaware and slowly told Qin Siyuan about the layout of the mansion and the benefits of the gardens. Finally, he said, "Brother, do you still remember the difference in intentions that we didn't finish talking about before? Look at the layout of the mansion and then think about the layout of the Qin Mansion, and you will see the difference in intentions."
Qin Siyuan opened his mouth, but no word came out.
The Qin Mansion is small and cramped, but it has everything.
He had lived in the Qin Mansion for several years and rarely left the courtyard, but he was familiar with the layout of the Qin Mansion.
Comparing it with the garden scenery of the marquis' mansion in front of us, it was thanks to my eldest sister that she came up with this idea.
But let alone, that barrier that had been hidden for so many years and not understood seemed to be collapsing again.
The two of them were silent until they were almost at the upper room, when Qin Yuan said, "The old lady loves the Marquis and me very much. The family in the mansion is simple. In addition to the Sixth Master and the Sixth Madam, there is also the unmarried Seventh Miss. Because she did something wrong, the old lady punished her and banned her from leaving the house for three months. The Marquis's benefactor's widow also lives here with her children. In addition..."
Qin Yuan dragged out her voice and said, "The Sixth Madam is in charge of the backyard. The niece of the Sixth Madam's mother's family has just come to live in the mansion these few days. The Sixth Madam came to find her to keep the Seventh Miss company, and to take her to banquets and to find a good marriage."
Qin Siyuan's heart moved. It seemed that what happened today must have happened to the niece of the Sixth Madam.
"I took note of everything my sister said."
I was saying, with Eighth Sister-in-law’s appearance and character, how could my cousin be bad?
I must find a way to make friends with such talented people.
Hearing that Qin Yuan's cousin had arrived, the upper room suddenly became lively. Rong Mama, Qiu Ju, and Xiao Hong all came out to greet him. Rong Mama smiled and asked, "Is that our cousin Duoye?"
Mr. Gu Liu was stunned for a moment, then hurried over to greet him. In terms of age, Rong Mama is a few years older than me, and she is my biological child, so she naturally becomes the elder brother, and Mr. Gu Liu becomes the younger brother.
Mr. Gu Liu lowered his eyebrows shyly, not daring to look around, for fear that someone would pick on his gifts and embarrass Lu Qing.
"...That...that is too valuable. I really want it."
Dahong exclaimed: "Madam, why do all the people in his family look so bad?"
When Mr. Gu Liu saw it, his eyes widened.
"Of course he also has a bad view, but his family is full of bookish air, so it's the same. That's what the old lady said."
My dear brother, Master Gu Liu: "..."
Mr. Gu Liu knew that it was not Madam Rong that was being talked about.
Rong Ma said, "We hit it off right away. You should keep in touch with each other. I am a talented man and have long hoped to find someone to study with. If you dislike me, please don't come. I don't have much to ask of you."
Qiuju's beautiful eyes also glanced at Mr. Gu Liu and nodded secretly.
Qin Fu pinched your big face and said, "He has also learned to speak bookishly. Is it wrong or not?"
"Sister-in-law, what about Master Qin Duo?"
When I entered the lower room, I saw the old lady sitting at the bottom, dressed elegantly, with her hair combed neatly, and she had been waiting for a while with a smile on her face.
"Old Madam, you are too modest. I have heard that Rong Madam likes to read and recite poetry. I also hope there will be no chance for me to form a poetry club with you."
Old Madam Gu was displeased when she heard this, and hurriedly urged Qiu Ju and Qin Siyuan to get the gift.
Qin Fu smiled and asked, "Are Qin Yuan's people bad looking?"
"Greetings to the old lady."
I can resist the precious folding fan, but I can't resist the Duan inkstone.
Qin Fu raised his eyes and looked over. Rong Mama met the bright gaze of the Eighth Sister-in-law, and thought to himself, my face is ruined today, and I can't avenge myself.
I dressed very carefully today, wearing a silver-green long gown, a dark green silk ribbon around my waist, and a green jade pendant hanging at my side, tied with a silver silk thread and decorated with many small and large beads. With my carefree and gentle face, I really look like a handsome scholar.
A bird egg-sized pendant hangs on the fan handle, and seven bats with spread wings are micro-carved below, symbolizing the seven blessings.
What Qin Siyuan presented was a square, old green Duan inkstone, engraved with bird, animal and fish patterns on seven sides, which looked simple and elegant.
I have long heard of Rong Mama's nickname, but have never met her. Although she is a person who likes to pretend to be cultured, he is my little sister's uncle, so I have to put in some effort to deal with him.
Qin Fu said, "That's right. Your cousin said that next time he comes and goes in a hurry, he won't pay his respects to the old lady. That time, he must come to the lower room to pay his respects before he dares to leave."
Mr. Gu Liu was an adult who had undergone the coming-of-age ceremony, so the gift he gave was naturally the same as Qin Heng's. On the plate that Qiu Ju sent him was a white lacquered and gold-painted folding fan. When he opened it, he saw that the fan was made of silk, with figures painted on one side and flowers and birds on the other, which complemented each other very well.
Mr. Gu Liu was about to decline immediately.
Just as they were pushing and refusing, Lu Qingfu came back gracefully, fanning herself. When she saw Mr. Gu Liu and the Qin family, her eyes lit up.
Aunt Rong was extremely satisfied with Lu Qingfu's character and appearance.
Seeing my gentle and refined appearance, Mrs. Gu was not disgusted with me anymore. And seeing that I was sincere, spoke appropriately, and behaved like a gentle gentleman, she liked me even more.
Today, upon hearing that her eighth sister-in-law had taken her cousin from her natal family to the lower room, Lu Qingfu hurriedly dressed up and made a comeback.
Seeing that Old Madam Gu was indeed as kind as you said, and hearing Qin Fu calling her mother in a natural and intimate way, it was obvious that you really had a very bad life in your husband's family. Master Gu Liu was relieved immediately, and quickly paid respects to Old Madam Gu, smiling and said: "Old Madam, next time I come and go in a hurry, I will not have time to pay my respects to you. Today is a convenient day for you, so I came here specially to pay my respects. I wish you a long life."
"You are the retired eighth son, and you have been talking about meeting him for a long time. You said that we are relatives and both are scholars, so you must get closer to him. The next time his cousin comes, I will be injured and have no intention of coming out to see him. That time, I must have a talk with him."
"Mr. Tang Duo is a handsome man, you are disgusted by him, why would you pick on him?"
It is indeed a blessing for scholars to own such a Duan inkstone.
Mr. Gu Liu regained his composure and agreed again.
Because of her facial injury, she even caused a scene at Eighth Brother's and Eighth Sister's place. Before she sobered up on the seventh day, the proud Rong Mama secretly sighed to herself, wondering how she could be so embarrassing after drinking a little bit of wine. She was willing to go out after a few days of being sick.
Qin Siyuan praised: "Mr. Tang Duo is really handsome and talented."
The long-rumored Mr. Qin Duo is indeed outstanding.
In the end, he still insisted on what the old lady said: "The elders' gift can be disobeyed. The Qin and Gu families are getting married, and he is your elder. It would be bad if you accept this gift slowly. There are many scholars in your family, but you can't waste those bad things."
Qin Fu introduced his cousin with a smile, saying, "Mother, that is your cousin, named Siyuan. He just had his coming-of-age ceremony a while ago and has not yet been given a name. I am shy and only like him in studying. Mother, you want to pick his gift, which frightened him."
