276, strife(1/3)
Huiju looked at Qin Ran with deep pain, "If the princess is tired, let's take a rest."
Qin Ran shook her head, sat at the desk, picked up her pen and started to write scriptures. She had a habit of copying scriptures whenever she was emotionally unstable, which could gradually calm her emotions.
Qin Ran, who is only ten years old, has been in good mood and has mastered good handwriting, with extremely straight strokes.
After practicing for more than an hour, Qin Ran put down her pen, rubbed her sore wrists, stood up on the table, "Take me to Beiyuan."
Beiyuan, where the second house lived.
Huiju knew that Qin Ran was very thoughtful, and when she returned to the Qin family, she must still be thinking about the place she had lived in, so she called a little maid to lead the way.
Every step, Qin Ran was familiar and unfamiliar. Some scenes had appeared in dreams, but when I thought about it, I became blurred again.
Although I was young at that time, I still had memories.
Wei Yuqin held her and sat on a stone stool to teach her to draw on the kite. She smiled brightly, and Qin Ran was nestled in Wei Yuqin's arms and laughed brightly.
The next scene was Wei Yuqin who was beaten to death, lying on the bed sickly, without any vitality, and her nose was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
At first, I could say a few words to her, but later I couldn't say a word, my eyes were a little dim. Later, the Qin family yelled to let Wei Yuqin go, and no one protected her, and later I met Wei Jing.
The seventh aunt she admires the most.
...
"Old lady, the princess has gone to Beiyuan." The maid quickly reported Nanyuan's every move. When the old lady Qin heard this, her face changed and waved her hand at the maid, "Go down."
"yes!"
Mrs. Qin glanced at Xiao Ru, "What can my sister, who is less than four years old, know?"
"Mother, although the princess is young, there are still a few maids and Empress Yuanzhao there. If someone mentions one, the princess will definitely believe it. Then I will ask carefully why the Qin family was sent to the border for six years. I saw that the princess was so delicate and she was not a fool."
Xiao Ru looked at the child, her eyes were calm and her heart was calm. She was too calm and didn't look like a ten-year-old child at all.
When Qin Yuan was ten years old, she only knew clothes and jewelry, and occasionally became arrogant, but she only restrained herself in the past two years.
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she felt unsure.
"The Qin family came back because of the princess. The current emperor is the princess' uncle. The incident angered the Wei family. Our only hope now is the princess. If the princess can return to the Qin family, he does not ask the emperor to promote the Qin family. As long as he forgets the past, the descendants of the Qin family will have hope."
This is Xiao Ru’s biggest wish. There is a mountain of Tai above. When will the Qin family make a name for themselves?
Since Wei Baixiao rebelled, the Qin family has not had a stable life and is worried every day. Yian Bo has gone after a cold caused by fear.
The Qin family tree fell and scattered, like a plate of loose sand, which had already been riddled with holes and could not withstand any tossing.
Mrs. Qin rubbed her eyebrows and sighed, "Who could have thought that the Wei family would have such a good fortune? If I had known it, I..."
If I had known it, why would Mrs. Qin have to commit suicide with Wei Yuqin? She would have long regarded people as ancestors. Then the Qin family is now a royal relative.
Look at the Yang family and the Ming family, which one is not a marquis or a prime minister, and is rich and prosperous.
Xiao Ru lowered her head and cursed the deceased Qin Fangqian in her heart. If it weren't for him, the Qin family wouldn't have been like this. It was just that Xiao Ru dared not complain at all in front of Mrs. Qin.
"This child went to Beiyuan when he came back on the first day..."
Xiao Ru comforted, "Mother, since the princess can return to the Qin family, it means she still has nostalgia for the Qin family. We must seize the opportunity. The princess was young and ignorant at the time, but now we will double the compensation and give the princess a support. No matter how good the palace is, she will not be named Qin after all."
Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up, "I'll follow you!"
...
During dinner, Xiao Ru went to invite Qin Ran in person, "Our family hasn't been together for a long time. Today, the princess is coming home. The house has prepared a banquet, and she is waiting for the princess to take her seat."
Qin Ran was in a lack of interest, "Second aunt, don't be polite, today..."
"Princess, the whole family is waiting for you, and there are several juniors below who have never seen you."
After hearing what Xiao Ru said about her second aunt, Qin Ran had no choice but to nod and go in response.
There were two tables in the huge room, full of people. The leader was Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin immediately waved to Qin Ran, "Sister Ran, come to my grandmother's side."
Seeing this, Mei'er took the initiative to make way out and glanced at Mrs. Qin again, with sneer in her eyes. At this time, she came to play the family card. At first, Mei'er was worried that Qin Ran would be coaxed by Mrs. Qin. After all, Qin Ran was only ten years old, and Mrs. Qin had been fighting for the whole life. She said a few good words and used some bitter tricks, so Qin Ran compromised.
But when Mei'er saw the clarity and indifference in Qin Ran's eyes, she smiled without saying anything and didn't talk much, and she watched her jump around like a clown.
"Sister Ran, can I sit with you?" Qin Yuan sat next to Qin Ran with a smile, holding a brocade box in her hand, opened and took out a high-quality jade pendant inside, "Sister Ran, this is for you."
Qin Ran hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it, "That's thank you sister Yuan."
Then he pulled out a small phoenix hairpin from his hair and inserted it into Qin Yuan's head. "Sister Yuan's appearance is beautiful, and with this small phoenix hairpin, it becomes more noble and elegant."
Qin Yuan reached out to support the little phoenix hairpin on her hair, and was very happy, "Sister Ran is so polite."
"You sisters have been very good since two hours. I haven't seen each other in recent years and their relationship is still so good. They are all good daughters of the Qin family." Mrs. Qin smiled and said, looking in a good mood.
When he was a child, Qin Yuan was the eldest daughter of the Qin family. She had a noble status and would not look down on Qin Ran. It would be great not to bully Qin Ran behind his back. Qin Ran felt as clear as a mirror, but she smiled without saying a word.
All night, Mrs. Qin was nostalgic and talking about the past, only mentioning the good but not the bad. Xiao Ru would occasionally echo a few words, but Meier didn't interrupt, and she also wished that the Qin family could be revived. This would only benefit her and not harm her.
As the night became darker, Mrs. Qin held Qin Ran in her hand, "I know that the Empress Dowager in the palace cannot live without you, Sister Ran, can you stay for a few more days and accompany me, the old woman?"
Qin Ran frowned.
Mrs. Qin's eyes turned red, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil, and her voice was hoarse, "I know that the Qin family was sorry for you, mother and daughter, you were not close to the Qin family in your heart, it was the sin of grandmother. The Qin family was forced by the situation at the time, and there was no way."
Mrs. Qin's tears came as she cried, crying indescribable. She held Qin Ran's hand with one hand, looking guilty.
Huiju glanced at her and lowered her head, not willing to comment on her past.
Qin Ran slowly pulled out her hand, "The old lady is so serious. I don't remember the past. This time it was my grandmother who asked me to come and see the Qin family. I will leave after staying for two days. The old lady takes care of her health."
After saying that, Qin Ran ignored Mrs. Qin, stood up and said, "I lost my companionship and left in public."
Mrs. Qin was a little embarrassed, and she felt a little angry but didn't dare to say it out loud. No junior dared to shy her face in public like this. Qin Ran was the only one.
"Mother calms down. The princess may still be a little uncomfortable just after returning to the Qin family. It will be fine if she contacts again." Xiao Ru hurriedly comforted her.
Mrs. Qin wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded, and sighed, "This child is thinking about the Qin family."
After saying this, Meier almost laughed. She never mentioned a word about grandmother when Qin Ran entered the door, and called the word "old lady". The reason why Qin Ran went back to the Qin family was probably to block Youyou's mouth.
Otherwise, if Qin Ran was thinking about the Qin family, how could she not come to visit the Qin family for so long?
Mrs. Qin is purely self-indulgent.
The next day, Mrs. Qin fell ill. Xiao Ru waited in Nanyuan for half an hour before seeing Qin Ran, and she spoke in awkward tone, "My mother kept muttering about you, thinking about the origin of her lineage, but she became dissatisfied. My mother was hit hard for a night. She was old and got cold at the border. She was sick and she was still muttering about you."
Qin Ran bit her lip tightly, she would not get sick early or late, but she was sick at this time, which was so coincidental.
At this time, the maid said, "Princess, the girl from the Li family is here to visit you."
Li Xueliu is here too?
Before he could speak, Li Xueliu had already brought her maid in. She was wearing a bright red dress and her skin was as beautiful as snow. She spoke with a smile, "Sister Ran, you are used to living in the mansion. The Li family is not far from the Qin family. If you live in it, go to my house, you are not used to it. My sisters all look like you."
Xiao Ru glanced at Li Xueliu, the niece of Queen Li's family. She was the queen's mother's family. She came to Kyoto City, and they all had good taste.
If Wei Yuqin had not died, the Qin family would not be inferior, Xiao Ru said regretfully.
"This is the second wife, come uninvited, please don't be surprised by the second wife." Li Xueliu saluted Xiao Ru openly.
Xiao Ru was flattered, "Miss Li is so polite. Miss Li can come to Qin's family and is Peng Shenghui. What to do if she is disturbing, it's just..."
Xiao Ru hesitated a little.
"Just what?"
"It's just a coincidence that my grandmother is sick today and has been thinking about Sister Ran. Sister Ran is afraid that she can't go to the Li family with you." Qin Yuan whispered.
"The old lady is sick?" Li Xueliu raised her voice and asked hurriedly, "Is the disease severe? How could this happen?"
"It's not a big problem when you're old. There are still many people serving you in the mansion, so you dare not delay the princess." Xiao Ru said.
Qin Ran watched these people go back and forth, without saying a word, and listened silently.
"How can this work? Sister Ran finally came back and was with Mrs. Qin. The grandparents and grandchildren finally reunited, why did I have the nerve to disturb Sister Ran?" Li Xueliu walked to Qin Ran, "Sister Ran, you should spend more time with Mrs. Qin."
Qin Ran raised her eyelids and squinted her eyes, "Sister Xueliu is worried."
"You and my sister said this and then we met." Li Xueliu turned around and waved to the maid, handed the maid several brocade boxes in the maid's hand to Xiao Ru, and asked with a pretentious concern, "Can I go and see the old lady?"
"I'm just worried that I'll get sick and give Miss Li a blow."
"It's okay, I'm not so cute yet. When my grandmother was sick, I kept taking care of her in front of the bed. The elderly would be in a good mood if they looked at the younger generation more, and the illness would naturally get better."
Look at how sweet a little mouth was, and Qin Ran was raised in a few words. Xiao Ru understood and immediately took someone to visit Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin was lying on the collapse, covering her mouth from time to time to time to cough. There was a strong smell of medicine in the room. Li Xueliu frowned slightly, but soon changed to a concerned look.
"Old lady... Why is the old lady so seriously ill?"
Xiao Ru sighed and shook her head.
Qin Ran stood under the corridor, looking up at the clouds in the sky, gloomy, as if a large army was approaching, and was about to break through the city gate in the next moment.
"What are the plans of the princess?" Huiju asked.
Qin Ran curled her lips, "Since the Qin family wants me to stay, I will stay. My grandmother needs Aunt Huiju, so my aunt will go back to serve her grandmother today."
"How can I rest assured if the princess is alone?"
"It's too late for the Qin family to curry favor with me, so how could it be unfavorable to me? Aunt Huiju, please don't worry. When the old lady recovers from illness, I will return to the palace. If I go back in a hurry, I will definitely gain a reputation as an inhuman and unfilial elder."
