Chapter 489
At the birthday party, Mrs. Qin forced Qin Xiaoxiao to sit on her right hand and put all kinds of delicious dishes for her. Almost all these delicious dishes were loved by Qin Xiaoxiao, and I don’t know where Mrs. Qin found out about her preferences.
This is the main table, and all the relatives of the Qin Mansion were sitting. They looked at this scene with a smile, as if they were happy that the Qin Mansion could regain their true blood. Sometimes they inadvertently looked at Yun, who was cold on the left hand of Mrs. Qin, who was always shook their heads in their hearts.
Qin Xiaoxiao was strong inside, and she turned a blind eye to various meanings and was not at all uncomfortable. It was just that Mrs. Qin was so enthusiastic that she couldn't resist and unknowingly she ate too much.
After the birthday party, the guests left one after another. Qin Xiaoxiao was still thinking about going to the academy to visit the Sanbao in the afternoon, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Qin alone.
"It is not easy for you, a child, to come to Beijing, and it is even more difficult for grandma to see you."
Mrs. Qin held her hand and couldn't bear to put it down, and said tentatively: "Grandma's body is almost as good as she is. She is suitable for traveling at this moment. I want to thank your parents and grandparents in person, and see what you grew up like."
Qin Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, not sure if his family wanted to see the old lady, and was also worried that they would think more if the old lady went there.
She thought for a moment and said tactfully: "Grandma Qin, I am my parents' child. It is common for them to raise me and grow up. However, the scenery in our village is really good. If Grandma Qin wants to come and relax, we will definitely treat you well."
Mrs. Qin is a smart person, how could she not hear the voice-over of her granddaughter? She felt sad and cheered up and said, "Okay, grandma will come over and take a look in a while. Don't think that grandma is annoyed and deliberately hides out."
Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm too happy to come here to play, so how could I go out more if I use excuses?"
"Okay, okay, you have to accompany grandma to have a good time." Old Mrs. Qin also smiled, no longer mentioning those things that might cause granddaughter to be disgusted.
At this time, Qin Huai, who had sent the guests, came over and learned that Qin Xiaoxiao was about to leave the house. His expression became dim: "Last time I left the house in a hurry and didn't have time to talk to you. Today, you will not know when you will come again."
Qin Xiaoxiao knew that she would not be able to avoid the Qin Mansion in her life. As long as she did not mention the matter of recognizing her ancestors, she would not be disgusted with anyone except Yun, so she asked, "I don't know what Lord Qin wants to say to me."
Qin Huai felt heartbroken when he heard the alienated title of "Master Qin" again.
But this child didn't want to recognize his relatives, and he didn't want to call him "Dad"? Even if she forced her to change the name, it was no different from "Master Qin". His sadness faded. He said, "I got some lonely books a while ago, and I should have something you like? Do you want to go to the study room to take a look?"
Qin Xiaoxiao really likes reading books, and hasn't seen new books for some time. After hearing what he said, he felt a little itchy: "Since it's an isolated book, I guess you have trouble finding it? How can I take away what you like!"
Who is Qin Huai? I can’t tell that this girl is insincere. She felt that she was very cute like this for a moment, and couldn’t help but smile and said, “It’s okay? I’ve already read these lonely books.”
Hearing what he said? Qin Xiaoxiao was no longer pretentious, and her tone showed a little joy: "Thank you, Lord Qin, for giving up your love."
Mrs. Qin, who was standing beside her, looked at them with a smile. She was somewhat comforted. Maybe she would never wait for her granddaughter to recognize her ancestors in her life? But over time, feelings will always be cultivated.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Qin, Qin Xiaoxiao followed Qin Huai to the study room. Looking at the dozen high bookshelf, full of neat books, how many more than her study room? Her eyes couldn't move away.
She had a good eye and took a rough look, and found many books she had read on the bookshelf. What surprised her even more was that there were medical books, agricultural affairs and even craftsmanship books, which could be seen from the rough edges of the pages.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but wonder if he had become a legendary figure who knew everything from astronomy and geography.
As if she saw her thoughts, Qin Huai smiled and said, "It's all necessary to investigate the case. It involves common sense in a certain field. You can have only a few understandings, but you can't know anything."
Qin Xiaoxiao was clear and felt a sense of admiration in his heart: "It's not easy for Lord Qin to have today."
Qin Huai was stunned, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth dissipated, and he raised his hand and rubbed her head. This was the first time that he had such a close contact after knowing the true relationship between them.
He was deeply appreciated by Emperor Yuanhe and was often flattered by his colleagues. It was the first time he was praised by his biological daughter. This feeling is indescribable and makes him more pleasant than Tanhua, a high school student.
Qin Xiaoxiao's face froze, and even her touched head froze, forgetting how to think.
When she realized that she subconsciously wanted to hide, the warm big hand on her head left first, and his gentle voice came: "You can read the books here as you like, and take them away if you like them."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked up at Qin Huai, and met his smiling gaze, and the discomfort appeared again. She didn't know what to say, so she nodded and looked for books next to the bookshelf.
In the study, she dared not read it casually. Only when she saw the book she was interested in would she take it off and read it. If she was not interested in the contents of the book, she would put it back to the original place and find the next one, trying not to mess up the order of the books.
Qin Huai came to the table to handle today's official business. From time to time, he looked up at the little girl who was attracted by books, and tried his best to control the movements in his hands, without making any sounds to avoid affecting her.
The study room was quiet and silent, and a slight sound of page turning was heard by chance, and no one cared about it. When Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her neck sore and had to raise her head, the sunlight shot into the room through the window, she realized that a long time had passed.
Thinking of missing the time agreed with her father, she didn't know what she would be anxious about now that she had not returned for a long time. She immediately had no intention of finding a book and closed the book she had not finished reading. She was about to say goodbye to Qinhuai.
But seeing that he was concentrating on handling official duties, he was embarrassed to disturb him.
While she was in a daze, Qin Huai's voice suddenly came over: "Have you picked it?"
Qin Xiaoxiao came to his senses and shook the book in his hand: "Well, I've selected it."
Qin Huai put down his pen and came to her, saw the books she was holding clearly, and then raised his right hand.
Qin Xiaoxiao thought he was going to pull his hair again, so he subconsciously covered his head and hid behind him.
Qin Huai was stunned and then said helplessly: "This book is divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower. You have the middle volume. You can take the remaining two volumes back to read together."
As he said that, his slender hand reached onto the bookshelf, took down the upper and lower volumes and handed them to her.
Qin Xiaoxiao was extremely embarrassed and took two books: "Thank you, Lord Qin."
No wonder she felt that the content was missing when she read this book just now. She thought it was an isolated book or a broken book, but she didn't expect it to be divided into three volumes. She glanced at the book cover quietly and saw a small word "中" under the title of the book, which she hadn't seen before.
"No need to thank you." This time, Qin Huai's hand really landed on the top of her hair, and the softness of the tentacles made his heart softer: "It was my dereliction of duty to throw you away back then. You are still willing to come here and accept these books. I am very happy."
Qin Xiao smiled and pursed his lips, whispered: "It was not your fault that happened back then, I have never blamed you."
She really didn't blame him, but before the truth was revealed, she suspected that he was informed and had no idea what attitude to treat him. Later, she dispelled this suspicion and still could not get close to him.
Although her parents seem to care about it and put her opinions first, she knew that her parents didn't want to see that she had too deep ties with the Qin Mansion.
The Qin family saved her life and raised her to grow up. The love for her was not false. This deep kindness and family affection were not rewarded by her saying a few nice words to make them happy. She also wanted to return to her unreserved feelings.
She was distant from her biological father and was unwilling to have any contact with the Qin family. She was afraid that her parents would be sad, and she was afraid that she would not be able to give up. Once her biological father asked to recognize her ancestors and return to her hometown, whether to recognize or not, someone would be destined to be let down, and she could not do both.
But blood relationship is too subtle, she can confront Yun without any pressure because Yun has no guilt and only plans for her, but she can never completely ignore her biological father and the old lady. Just like the old lady was sick last time, she visited the mansion and hoped that she would get better as soon as possible.
At this moment, when she heard the biological father's words of self-blame, she didn't want him to take the responsibility on her and bear this deep guilt.
"Xiaoxiao, I would rather you not be so sensible..."
Qin Huai felt very complicated when he heard his daughter say something he had never blamed him: "If you don't want to recognize your ancestors, I won't force you. I just hope that you can come back to see her because of the old lady's age."
Qin Xiaoxiao was very surprised. Looking at the old lady’s meaning today, she obviously had all the expectations for the recognition of her ancestors. She thought they were mother and son, so she would have the same idea. It turned out that she had misunderstood?
Thinking of this, she responded with almost no hesitation: "Okay, I will visit the old lady from now on."
"Okay, good boy." Qin Huai was very happy and couldn't help but touch the top of her head again. Seeing that she stopped dodging, she felt even happier.
He walked out of the study with three books in his arms. Qin Xiaoxiao came to the old lady's yard to say goodbye to her. Then the maid said that the old lady had not woken up yet, so she did not go in to disturb her. Qin Huai personally sent her out of the mansion.
What the two of them did not expect was that Jing Heng was waiting outside and was chatting with Qin Shan who came to find his daughter.
"You girl, you said you'll come back after the birthday party. I couldn't wait for you to come back in the inn for a long time. I thought you had something happened to you." Qin Shan finally saw his daughter and walked over quickly to complain to her.
Then he seemed to have discovered Qin Huai, and bowed to him with a fake smile: "I'm sorry, Lord Qin is welcomed, today the little girl has disturbed the house."
Qin Huai listened to his meaningful words, his original excellent mood disappeared most of his time, and his smile still said: "This is Xiaoxiao's home, so it's not a problem."
When Qin Shan heard this, he was so depressed that he grinded his teeth and wanted to yell at this shameless person: You call me laughing at my daughter, do you think she should answer?
In front of his daughter, he didn't want to lose his grace and didn't shout out. He fought back with a smile: "Five days ago, my daughter only learned that the old lady had celebrated her birthday when she received the birthday letter from the mansion. The birthday gift was prepared in a hurry, so I hope Lord Qin will not blame him."
In terms of slandering, Qin Huai has never lost anyone: "Xiaoxiao is the best gift."
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder grew stronger and stronger, Qin Xiaoxiao was really afraid that they would quarrel, so he hurried to La Qinshan: "Dad, we still have something to do, so we can't delay any more."
As she said that, she took pictures of the wrapped books and said to Qin Huai: "Mr. Qin, after reading these three books, I will return them to you in time."
Seeing that his daughter was so unfamiliar with Qin Huai, Qin Shan was in a good mood and said hurriedly: "Okay, get in the car quickly, let's go directly to the academy."
Qin Huai was also satisfied with his daughter's promise and said to Qin Shan with great regret: "Brother Qin, I should have invited you to have a drink together. Since you have something important to do, I can only wait for the next time."
When Qin Shan heard this, he wanted to slap the word "hypocrisy" on his face, but he couldn't really do this even if he couldn't read. He could only grit his teeth and say, "My Lord Qin is kind, I will definitely find out your alcohol tolerance if I have the chance!"
Qin Huai said in a gentle voice: "I will definitely let Brother Qin have fun."
During the "contest" between the two, they did not find another bystander taking their daughter into the carriage.
When Qin Shan stopped fighting with Qin Huai, he was about to whip the horse, but he found that the daughter who was climbing onto the carriage looked out, raised her hand and stuffed her in: "Sit firmly."
Qin Xiaoxiao was stuffed into his throat. The next moment the carriage started moving. She could only give up the idea of telling her father Brother Li in the car, and lowered her voice and said to him: "My father will find you in the carriage later, I don't know how to get angry."
Jing Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "This is just right, maybe Uncle Qin can see it himself, so he will be prepared so that he will not scare him."
Qin Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No, this can only be told to my father when my grandfather is present. Grandpa is best at 'instructing' my father and two uncles."
She was really afraid that her father would not be able to withstand the stimulation, so she rushed to the princess's mansion to settle the score with Brother Li. To be cautious, she would rather go back and talk.
Half an hour later, the carriage drove to Nanshan Academy. Qin Shan had just parked the carriage and called his daughter to get off the car. As a result, he saw Jing Heng coming out of it, and was so shocked that the boss stared: "When did you run into the car?"
Jing Heng said unexpectedly: "It's right at the gate of Qin Mansion, I thought you know."
I know nothing! Qin Shan was so angry that he almost swears.
Fortunately, he realized that this was a college, and there were scholars coming and going. If his daughter was swearing, he would be embarrassed. He stared at his daughter with a dark face and silently climbed out of the car, and his father's heart kept sinking...
