Return of the Swallow

Pang Xiao admired Qin Huaiyuan very much.

He is a man who is calm and always knows what he wants. Faced with such a big change, he was not shocked, but looked for the best way to live a good life for himself and his family.

Moreover, Qin Huaiyuan proposed moving to the palace for the sake of his family.

In addition to Qin Huaiyuan, the Qin family only has the second master Qin Xiuyuan serving in the court, but he is also a temporary official with no real power. It can be said that whenever the Qin family does something big, Li Qitian will definitely find Qin Huaiyuan's head. Even if someone is assassinated and seeking revenge, it will be for Qin Huaiyuan. The rest of the in-laws' family has too little sense of existence.

So Qin Huaiyuan moved away at this time. Although he said it was for himself, he was actually afraid of causing disaster to his family and causing them trouble.

On the other hand, living with Pang Xiao in the palace is also convenient for protection in the palace. At least Qin Yining and Pang Xiao don't have to worry and distract themselves.

However, Qin Huaiyuan must be thinking about his family in his heart. Even if he moves to the palace, he will inevitably worry that his enemies will come to find him and persecute the rest of the Qin family instead. Qin Huaiyuan is Pang Xiao's father-in-law, and it is difficult to directly say that he will live in the palace with his entire family.

Pang Xiao heard the news and immediately said: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law must appreciate the honor, and there are many empty courtyards in the palace. It would be best if the second uncle and third uncle are willing to appreciate the honor and live together."

Hearing what Pang Xiao said, the second master, the third master, Qin Han, Qin Yu and others were all surprised, and then they were a little moved and flattered.

What is the status of Pang Xiao? He has always been the only one who admires and admires him, and it is rare to hear that he praises anyone. Unexpectedly, he is so emotional that he even calls them on.

Although their reactions were not as quick as Pang Xiao's, they understood Qin Huaiyuan's intentions after careful consideration, and they were all a little moved.

Qin Huaiyuan made a request to his uncle tactfully for the safety of his family.

The second master hesitated: "The prince's suggestion is certainly good, and we are very grateful. But if we just move in together, will it disturb the family too much?"

"Yes." Qin Han was a little afraid of causing trouble to Qin Yining.

The old lady is careless. If she goes to live in the palace, she might disturb the life of the palace and make her uneasy. Qin Yining also has a mother-in-law, a grandfather, and a great-grandmother. If Qin Yining is disliked by the elders because of this, it is their fault.

Qin Han considered it,

The third master and Qin Yu also thought that they had good intentions and they couldn't be too selfish, so they both declined.

Qin Yining smiled and said: "There are indeed several empty courtyards in the palace. Second uncle, third uncle and brothers, please don't be polite." He turned around and asked Pang Xiao, "The Xuemei Courtyard will be tidied up by then so that our family can live there." ?”

Pang Xiao smiled and nodded: "Of course," and then explained: "Xuemei Courtyard is on the west side of the palace. It is a separate courtyard with three entrances. It has a separate side door. If you want to go to the palace and don't want to go around the corner to the main entrance, you can go to the main entrance. The side doors can be opened individually."

Qin Yining said: "Xuemei Courtyard is included in the palace, but you can also close the corridor and open the side door to live your own life alone. This way our family can live closer and it is easier for the prince to order people to protect you. When you want to move around, open the corridor Once you open the door, you can visit the house at will, and you have a high degree of freedom."

Qin Huaiyuan was very satisfied with the arrangements made by his daughter and son-in-law, and turned to ask the second and third masters beside him: "Second brother, third brother, what do you think?"

The second master and the third master are actually already moved.

The two looked at each other and then said, "How about we discuss this with the old lady?"

Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "I won't go in. How about my second brother go talk to his mother?"

The second master nodded and sighed: "That's fine." He hesitated and then persuaded, "Mom is getting older, so she is inevitably a little confused. She acts like an old child on weekdays. Brother, don't be sad. In fact, I still love you the most in my heart. .”

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said: "Of course I know that at our age, we can't argue with my old mother."

When the second master and the third master saw Qin Huaiyuan's calm and calm smile, they knew that he was an open-minded person and really didn't care about this, so they went in to persuade him with peace of mind.

When the old lady first heard that Qin Huaiyuan was moving, she immediately scolded Qin Huaiyuan as a white-eyed wolf who had forgotten his mother after marrying a daughter-in-law.

But when she heard that Pang Xiao invited their family to move to the palace, she was also a little moved.

Where is the palace? If you refuse, you may never have the chance to enjoy life in the palace in this life!

Besides, with her status, she is also the oldest one in the palace, so won’t everyone have to support her then?

The old lady burst into laughter and said with some pride: "They still know how to be filial."

Then he asked with some worry: "What's the situation outside now? Will we get into trouble if we move in? I always feel that this time your eldest brother was dismissed from his official position by the Holy Emperor, and Sister Yi and him It’s related to the son-in-law.”

The old lady said this, which made the second master and second lady feel bored. Fortunately, the elder was not here, otherwise I would be sad to meet such a selfish person despite my good intentions.

The second master said sternly: "Mother, you must never say this again in the future. When we are officials in the court, we depend on the power of God. The power of God is unpredictable, and neither blessing nor disaster can be controlled by ourselves. Now this matter No one is to blame. If we are to blame, we should have this period in our lives. Sister Yi is a filial child, and the eldest brother is even more open-minded. He is also truly filial to his mother. Please don't say such words again to make people sad. No, we all feel chilled when we hear it.”

The second lady also smiled and nodded and said: "Mother, don't be as knowledgeable as us juniors. The master speaks straightforwardly, but he always means well. You are the most considerate and generous person. As the saying goes, 'The prime minister can tell everything in his heart.' "Pole a boat," and there is also a saying that "If you are not stupid or deaf, you will not be a family member." Mother is the elder, and we still need you to take charge of us, otherwise we will have no backbone in our lives."

The second master and the second wife, one of whom was a good person and the other a bad person, lost their temper after what the old lady said, and felt a little uncomfortable because of the daughter-in-law's words, so they nodded and said: "Okay, then our family will stay here for the time being. , if anything happens, we will move out immediately. We will order people to watch the house here. When the time comes, we will move back temporarily, and we can live in it as soon as we come. "

The second lady nodded, but rolled her eyes in her heart. She really wanted to say that this house also belonged to Sister Yi. The Qin family's belongings had all been robbed by bandits when they came here. How could she still have her own house? The old lady lived and ate at Sister Yi's house, but she didn't know how to be grateful. Even her, the second aunt, looked at her in disgust.

The second master went out to discuss the move with Qin Huaiyuan, Pang Xiao and others.

Once the matter is settled, it will be easy to clean up. The most important thing in the palace is servants. Pang Xiao's soldiers and Jinghu guards fight like little tigers one by one, and they are the same as each other when they move around.

The palace is fully furnished with furniture and bedding, so the Qin family only needs to bring their own clothes and supplies. So it was sorted out quickly.

A dozen carriages were prepared, leaving some people to watch the house, while the rest took their personal servants and headed all the way to the palace.

There were always people watching over the courtyard in Xuemei Court. When Pang Xiao came back, he only ordered the head of the palace to make arrangements.

The old lady followed the second and third bedrooms and settled in Xuemei Courtyard on her own. Pang Xiao ordered the manager to bring people to help. As for the rest, we will wait until we settle down.

Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun family, Qin Yining arranged for them to stay in Suxue Garden where she lived when she stayed in the palace.

The environment here is quiet and elegant. Although there is no separate door to the outside of the mansion, it is in an important position in the mansion. It is very close to the study room in the outer courtyard and can be separated from the inner house, which is convenient to avoid suspicion. After all, Qin Yining has a single mother-in-law. .

As for the eighth young lady, she naturally lives with the old lady.

Qin Huining is Qin Huaiyuan's adopted daughter, and the palace can only accept her. Mrs. Sun was afraid that Qin Huining would cause some trouble and she needed to keep it in front of her eyes, so she took the initiative and said, "Sister Hui will live with me. You can go to the old lady's place every day when you say hello."

Qin Huining had already been dazzled by the huge palace and the elegant and luxurious scenery of the palace, and the envy and jealousy towards Qin Yining in her heart was about to reach the sky. Seeing that Mr. Sun was guarding her against a thief, she felt even more aggrieved, but she also wanted to repair the relationship with Qin Huaiyuan and Mr. Sun, so she nodded obediently.

Mrs. Sun first asked her maid to serve Qin Huining and go to the wing to rest.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and a lamp was turned on in the house, which illuminated it as brightly as day.

Qin Huai saw that Qin Yining was already tired, so he said: "You are tired too, go and have a rest quickly. We will talk about the rest tomorrow." Then he said to Pang Xiao, "I have arranged for someone to escort the in-laws and family back. I believe they will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. .”

When Pang Xiao heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, thank you father-in-law. During my absence, you helped me take care of my mother and my grandparents under the supervision of the Holy Lord. It must have been a waste of time. Let's have a drink later. .”

Sun was surprised to hear what they said, because she didn't know these things. \u0026amp;bsp;\u0026amp;bsp;Pang Xiao took Qin Yining and left Suxue Garden.

It was completely dark. There is a maid in front holding a lamp.

Qin Yining's back was a little sore and she walked slowly. Seeing her like this, Pang Xiao simply picked her up.

Caught off guard as his body flew into the air, Qin Yining let out a soft cry and quickly put his arms around Pang Xiao's neck, "What are you doing? Put me down quickly."

"You're tired, be good, take a rest for a while. I asked them to prepare some porridge and side dishes, so you can use them when you go back later and then you can rest."

Qin Yining couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She rested her head on Pang Xiao's shoulder and felt his strong arms holding her up steadily. She walked towards the upper courtyard easily and without any bumps.

She was tired and didn't want to talk. She was grateful for Pang Xiao's arrangements today, so she rubbed his shoulder with her cheek.

Pang Xiao's heart softened, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly: "Be good."

After a while, Pang Xiao stopped and said, "Sister Yi, look."

Qin Yining was already drowsy. Hearing this, he opened his eyes in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Pang Xiao raised his chin.

Qin Yining followed his gaze and saw in the warm yellow light of the lantern a brand new plaque hanging high on the lintel of the upper courtyard, with the words "Siqing" written in familiar flying handwriting.

Qin Yining couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's your handwriting."
