Chapter 262 Grandparents
Malt wanted to live in Qi Mansion in the future, so she naturally came to pay homage to everyone. However, Xun Qingran originally planned to bring Malt again later, but when Madame Qi Er proposed it, she didn't want to object.
Send someone here to invite Malt. After a while, outside reported that Grandma Tang was coming. Xun Qingran stood up and welcomed Malt in.
Malt was originally the most outstanding girl around Xun Qingran, and she was also an extroverted person. There were not many people in the mansion who didn’t recognize her. Now, people in this room naturally recognized Malt even more.
Malt dressed as a noble lady, which was more noble and solemn than the beauty he used to be a maid. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Malt. The girls could not hide their envy in their eyes. People who were originally the same identity as them are now flying up to the branch to make phoenixes. Mrs. Qi Er, eldest wife, second grandma Qi, and third grandma Qi also turned their heads to look at Malt.
Xun Qingran took Malt's hand and sent it to Rong.
Malt saluted Rong, "Please pay tribute to the old lady."
Rong hurriedly asked Xun Qingran to help Malt up, and asked Malt to go closer and look.
"He is a blessed child." Rong smiled.
"What the old lady said," Xun Qingran hurriedly took over the conversation, "She is also a blessing in her destiny. Even I didn't expect that things were just like this."
Xun Qingran asked Qi You to take care of her, and Doctor Lu talked about the relationship with Malt.
"... Lord Dong and Mrs. Dong from Pingxi Town were matchmakers, and this was how good the marriage came about." Xun Qingran smiled.
These things were originally mentioned in the letter, but the reason why she said it now was because she was afraid that someone here would be angry that Mai Le jumped from his maid to become the official of the court. Xun Qingran mentioned this again to block everyone's mouth.
Mrs. Qi Er shook the fan, smiled on her face, and looked at Xun Qingran meaningfully.
"It's really something I didn't expect." The eldest lady looked at Malt and said. Grandma Qi San stood behind the eldest lady, but secretly curled her lips.
Rong asked someone to bring a Yu Ruyi and gave a meeting gift to Malt.
"Thank you, old lady." Malt refused for a moment and then stopped.
Xun Qingran took Malt to meet the eldest wife and the second wife of Qi, and then went to the second grandma of Qi and the third grandma of Qi, but it was just a blessing between the peers.
Grandma Qi San was a little reluctant to give the gift, but Grandma Qi was very enthusiastic about smiling.
"The fourth brother and sister have sent someone to send a letter to tell my sister's affairs. What are you doing to find a house elsewhere? There are no other houses in this mansion, and there are still a few empty houses. The old lady and the wife also say the same. Just stay at peace." Grandma Qi smiled and said to Maiya, then turned to Xun Qingran, "It's the Xiangzhangyuan behind our garden. I have sent someone to clean it up. Settling down first, seeing what's wrong, just tell me."
Xiangzhangyuan is one of the two courtyards that Xun Qingran is optimistic about, but it is also very appropriate. Xun Qingran naturally nodded with a smile.
"It made my second grandma worry." Malt said.
"How can my sister call me so different? Lord Tang and the Fourth Master are brothers. Are they not brothers with the Second Master? You have different relationships with the Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law, so I will be proud of you. You can call me "Second Sister-in-law"! "Mrs. Qi said deliberately angrily.
"Second sister-in-law doesn't bother you, so why don't you call that quickly. Second sister-in-law is a good butler. If she is willing to mention you a few words in her spare time, you will benefit a lot." Xun Qingran smiled beside her.
Malt cheerfully called out to his second sister-in-law.
"Okay, you should be so harmonious. If you live here in the future, don't want heretics." Rong said with a smile.
Grandma Qi San was standing with a few people, and couldn't help but snort gently, revealing her sour air.
Xun Qingran just pretended that she didn't hear it, and chatted and laughed and took Malt to sit next to Rong.
"This kind of good marriage is hard to find." Mrs. Qi Er smiled kindly, "No more than those who are blind and mute, who are in the mansion and know the truth. Thanks to Ran Yatou, the most comprehensive and appropriate person, can such a good thing be accomplished."
Malt is a straight-hearted person. When Mrs. Qi praised Xun Qingran, she wanted to nod and agree, but after a second thought, she closed her mouth again.
Xun Qingran also heard Mrs. Qi's second wife's words, and she was also a little surprised to praise Mrs. Qi's second wife.
"Old lady, it's hard to explain in detail in the letter. Speaking of which, the marriage between the two of them is really a coincidence. The fate is determined by heaven, which is even more bizarre than in that book."
Rong usually likes to listen to operas, and often calls Nu Xianer to teach books. After Xun Qingran said this, he immediately became excited.
"There is one of the two big media members, except Lord Dong and Mrs. Dong, and no one can guess," Xun Qingran deliberately paused before continuing, "It's Master Land. The old lady still remembers the ground movement two years ago?"
The ground movement two years ago alarmed the government and the public. These people naturally heard about it. Xun Qingran received the imperial edict by chance, and everyone's attention immediately shifted to the ground movement.
"Why don't you remember?" Rong took Xun Qingran's hand, "You don't want to tell me the truth, is it really dangerous, right?"
"Old lady, look at me and the Fourth Master are all fine, and there are Xuan'er and Fusheng." Xun Qingran hurriedly comforted Rong.
"The Fourth Master is here." At this moment, the little girl's report came from outside.
Rong immediately sat up straight and looked at the door.
The little girl raised the curtain, Qi You put on a court uniform, hugged Xuan'er in his arms, held Fusheng with one hand, and walked in from outside.
Xun Qingran hurriedly stood up to meet him, Qi You bent down and put Xuan'er on the ground. Xuan'er held hands with Fusheng and walked to Xun Qingran.
Qi You walked forward a few steps quickly and knelt in front of Rong.
"I am unfilial to my grandson to pay my respects to my grandmother."
"Get up quickly, get up quickly." Rong helped Qi You tremblely, looked at Qi You up and down with tears in his eyes, "Let your grandmother take a good look."
Qi You was much taller than Rong, so he bent over slightly in order to make Rong see clearly. Compared with four years ago, Qi You's shoulders were wider, thicker and stronger, so he looked taller, and the vigorous stubble on his chin showed that he had transformed from a teenager to a young man.
Rong patted Qi You on the shoulder and kept saying yes, "It's good to be back."
Qi You hurriedly helped Rong sit back on the couch, and went to pay homage to the eldest wife and Mrs. Qi Er.
Xun Qingran sent Xuan'er and Fusheng to the couch and asked them to sit next to Rong. Xuan's children talked about children, and then made Rong laugh happily. Rong asked someone to move a chair to the kang, let Qi You sit at her feet, and the grandparents and grandchildren talked.
"Old lady, the ancestral temple is ready. The eldest master told the second master that the fourth master and the fourth grandma would go to the ancestral temple and kowtow to the ancestors." After a while, Madam Jiang came in from outside and reported to Rong.
Rong nodded and asked Xun Qingran to change her clothes, "Don't miss the time."
Xun Qingran hurriedly agreed and asked Kikyo and others to serve and dress according to the level of the imperial edict. Then he went to the ancestral hall with Qi You and kowtowed.
Speaking of which, this is not the usual time for worshiping ancestors, but Qi You's foreign reign has been prosperous in recent years and has a great reputation in the court and the country, so it is naturally the pride of the family. The imperial edict of Xun Qingran, the second-rank lady, was specially given by the imperial edict, so it was very decent for the couple to go to the ancestral hall to kowtow together.
After kowtowing, the two of them returned to Yinian's residence. As soon as Xun Qingran entered the door, the eldest wife, the second wife of Qi, and the second grandmother Qi stood up. Grandma Qi San was slowing down half a beat and then stood up.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Xun Qingran had obtained the second-rank imperial edict, but knowing it was different from seeing it with his own eyes. Only now did everyone truly realize that in this mansion, except for Rong, who is the super-ranked Duke's wife, Xun Qingran was above the rest of the people.
Qi You and Xun Qingran kowtowed in front of Rong again before sitting in front of Rong, and everyone sat down.
"It's getting late, so let's all go. The fourth brother and the girl Ran stayed to accompany me to have dinner, and they didn't have to come and serve me." Rong ordered.
The second wife of Qi and the eldest wife all dismissed. Xun Qingran and Qi You also changed their clothes, and accompanied Rong to eat, and sat together to chat about family matters.
The grandparents and grandchildren separated for four years, and they had a lot of things to say, so they sent out all the people who served in the house, and Xun Qingran personally served the tea.
Qi You first talked about the re-order of the imperial edict when he entered the palace. Qi You had already taken down the job of Pingxi Town. As for what position he would take next, whether to stay in Beijing or continue to release the emperor, he had no intention of coming down.
"It's this rule. It's better to take a break for a while. Listen more and take a look more." Rong said.
Qi You nodded and said yes.
"Old lady, there are some things that are not easy to say in the letter." Qi You told Rong about Ying Ze, Ning Xin and Fusheng again.
"No wonder, you don't want to tell me in your letter, so I guess the origin of Fusheng. I just saw him and felt familiar. So that's it." Rong suddenly realized.
"Old lady, Fusheng's life experience cannot be known for the time being." Qi You said.
"Don't worry, although I'm old, I'm not confused yet." Rong nodded.
Qi You talked about other things, and finally talked about Shanxi and Wang Qin's family.
"Is there such a thing?" Rong changed his face when he heard it. "At that time, I was just in a state of indifference. Your wife said she would send someone to serve her, so I didn't ask much. Alas!"
"Sit here," Rong greeted Xun Qingran, "Your wife has a stubborn temper, but she is a little older. Alas, you handled this matter very well, but it made Ran girl suffer again."
"The family can be harmonious, but the granddaughter-in-law dare not say it is wronged." Xun Qingran smiled virtuously.
Rong nodded with a smile, "Good boy, you are generous and willing to take the overall situation into consideration."
Qi You brought the teacup to Xun Qingran that the teacup was empty. Xun Qingran knew that it was going to help her, so she picked up a curtain and retreated from the room.
When Qi You saw Xun Qingran go out, he talked to Rong in a low voice about Madam Song and Zhong Dayong attacked the Governor's Mansion.
"Old lady, Qing Ran followed me and suffered a lot of grievances. She went back and forth several times in front of the Ghost Gate. She had this kind of temperament again. Her grandson made a decision in private and refused to accept people in the house. She asked the old lady to help her."
