Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining's heart that had been hanging all day these days finally let go when he saw Qin Huaiyuan who was being led in by Qitai. However, seeing his father's embarrassed appearance, Qin Yining's footsteps stopped, and tears almost fell.

When he was imprisoned that day, he was ordered by the emperor to strip off his official uniform, boots, hats and accessories. Now Qin Huaiyuan only wears dirty clothes and silk trousers. The messy drape was scattered, and two straws were stuck on the top of the head, and even the beard was tangled into a ball.

Such a handsome and wise father, who was as exiled as an immortal, is now so embarrassed.

Qin Yining clenched his teeth and used all his strength to stop crying, so he quickly ran forward and knelt down, hugging Qin Huaiyuan's leg.

"Father!"

Qin Huaiyuan lowered her head and raised her hand to touch her daughter's head, but when she saw the dust on her palms, the dirt in her fingernails, and Qin Yining's neatly combed black and shiny hair, she hesitantly retracted her hand. , only smiled and said: "Get up quickly, it's okay for my father, isn't it a good time to come back?"

This scene, the servants on the side couldn't help but sob.

Qin Huining stood still, not expecting Qin Huaiyuan to fall into such a state.

Qin Yining rubbed on Qin Huaiyuan's knee with nostalgia, and blinked back tears. Then he stood up and smiled brightly at Qin Huaiyuan, "Does father take a shower first, or go see the old lady first?"

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Let's take a shower first, so as not to scare her old man." Seeing that Qin Huining was also there, Qin Huaiyuan said, "Sister Hui is back?"

Qin Huining came back to his senses, and came forward in three steps and two steps to bow and worship.

"Father, my daughter is back. In the past, my daughter was ignorant and did a lot of wrong things, which disappointed her father, and asked her father to be lenient and forgive her daughter." Qin Huining's forehead was pressed to the ground, very humble.

Qin Huaiyuan looked at Qin Huining with complicated eyes for a moment, and then said, "Well. Since Sister Yi asked you to come back, you can stay here and keep your duties in the future, and don't do that kind of thing again."

Qin Huining's heart skipped a beat.

It was the first time that he had intuitively recognized Qin Yining's position in the mansion since he returned to the mansion today.

Now Qin Yining is the person in charge of this family's inner house. The old lady, Mrs. Sun, the second lady and the third lady must obey her arrangement!

Why did she please the old lady at home in the past,

To please the Sun family? Isn't it because they have the right to speak?

Now that Qin Yining is in charge, she has just calculated Qin Yining...

Qin Huining suddenly realized that she and Qin Yining could no longer be rivals.

Because the opponent, first of all, must stand in the angle of equal opposition.

She and Qin Yining will never be equal.

Qin Yining stepped on her head so easily and proudly, and if she wanted to save her life, she could only rely on the Qin family. As long as she attached herself to the Qin family for one day, she could not offend Qin Yining.

This realization made her heart ache and she was helpless. But Zhuangzi had suffered enough. She didn't want to miss the day when she was harassed by war refugees.

"Father, my daughter knows, and she will definitely listen to the old lady, father and mother, and the fourth young lady's orders in the future."

Hearing her sincere tone and the change in her title, Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "That's good."

At this time, Qin Yining had arranged for people to report the news to various places in the inner house, and also asked people to prepare a fragrant soup to bathe in the side of the study in the outer courtyard.

When Qin Huaiyuan and Qitai went to bathe and change, Qin Yining instructed the kitchen to prepare a banquet, which was to be placed in the flower hall of the Cixiao Garden later. Qin Huaiyuan was safe and sound, and the whole family could be reunited, and they must have a good time.

Having ordered these, Qin Yining couldn't sit still for a moment, full of joy and excitement for his father's safe return, and stood outside the study waiting for Qin Huaiyuan.

After half an hour, Qin Huaiyuan came out.

At this time, his hair was half-dry, and it was held loosely on the top of his head. He was wearing a black net towel to fix it. He was wearing a jasper-colored hang silk straight jacket, and he was wearing soft cloth boots. Although he was thinner, he still looked the same as before. That demeanor is elegant, handsome and graceful.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Father, let's go back together."

"Okay." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, "Qitai just told me about the mansion, you did a good job."

"Father, don't praise me. For the first time, I was in charge of the house. I was in a hurry and didn't care about the tail. Thanks to the old lady and my mother, I was able to stay stable."

"You girl, you have also learned to be humble." Qin Huaiyuan laughed, "You are smart, courageous, and better at figuring out people's hearts. Very good. If you don't take in the refugees, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work for my father to come back."

Qin Yining was naturally happy to be praised by her father, but what she cared about most was the last sentence.

"Father, is the emperor angry?"

Qin Huaiyuan nodded: "I'm angry. After all, your house on Changchun Mountain is adjacent to the queen, so I won't go into details about what the people think. You can also analyze why the emperor is angry. But because of this, the folks When the voice became louder, Cao Guozhang was unable to attack me, and the emperor was a little bit afraid. Taking advantage of the Qingliu who interceded for me again, the emperor was relieved. It was just that it hurt your second uncle and was moved to the Ministry of Rites. Servant."

The same is the third grade, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites are naturally different. And the emperor was willing to release Qin Huaiyuan earlier, probably because he was afraid that Cao Guozhang would take the opportunity to attack, right? After all, even if the emperor was angry again, he still retained a trace of reason, and wanted to keep Qin Huaiyuan as a good helper to contain Cao Guozhang in the future.

In fact, the emperor did not take away all the official positions of the Qin family in one breath, Qin Yining was already very fortunate.

The most fortunate is that their approach is not wrong.

"As long as I can help my father, what I'm most afraid of is doing something wrong and doing a disservice."

"Where can it be." Qin Huaiyuan smiled, "Thanks for having you and your second and third uncles out there. I also received all the things you sent me. That anti-mosquito medicine is really good, otherwise I will say now. Might be bitten out of a bag."

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Thanks to the thoughtful thought of Zhong Da, the shopkeeper."

...

The father and daughter chatted, as if there were endless things to say. Qin Huaiyuan had never experienced this prison disaster. Their attitudes were normal, and it was as if these turmoil never lingered in their hearts.

At this time, the whole family gathered in the old Taijun's Cixiaoyuan, and even the eleventh cousin, who was the least frequent, was there.

As soon as she saw Qin Huaiyuan, the tears of the old lady couldn't stop, and her face was covered with tears and snot holding her eldest son crying.

The second and third masters also surrounded Qin Huaiyuan, patted his shoulders and comforted him in his suffering.

The female relatives smiled and wiped away their tears. Sun Shi even grinned and her eyes reddened from crying.

Not long after, the next person answered and the banquet was ready.

Qin Yining smiled and went to help the old lady: "Today, the whole family is together, let's have a reunion dinner, the old lady is a person with both blessings and longevity, and our family will be safe and happy in the future. ."

The old lady was happy to hear it, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

The whole family laughed and entered the table. Because it was a family banquet, Qin Huaiyuan was rarely in danger, so the old lady ordered the screen in the middle to be withdrawn. Although the family followed the rule of not saying anything about food, the atmosphere was very cheerful and harmonious after a meal.

After dinner, the servants left the table, waited for everyone to rinse their mouths, and then served tea, Qin Huaiyuan said slowly: "The whole family is here today, I have a few words to say."
