After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 891 The Younger Sister Gets Married [3]

"Second son, you stay home and keep an eye on things. I'm going to check on the Lü Family Inn." Grandpa Qin was worried and hurried off to the Lü Family Inn.

The imperial court immediately sent Miao Man and Miao Bo to protect him.

Grandpa Qin returned after half an hour and said, "It was a bit chaotic, but fortunately they are all smart children, and things have improved a lot now."

"Commander Zhong has also sent soldiers to keep an eye on the kitchens of the two inns, so there shouldn't be any problems. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaomi said to Grandma Qin, "Grandma, did you hear that? With the soldiers watching over us, the food, drinks, and students will all be safe."

Grandma Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, Grandma heard you, I'm relieved."

Life at home is too hectic right now, and the investigation into the hidden spy case is still in a daze. She's afraid that someone might tamper with the food and drinks, or harm a student, turning a joyous occasion into a tragedy.

"Grandma, Grandpa is overseeing the banquet, Uncle and Aunt are handling the guests, and Granny Xiao and Madam Yao are taking care of the betrothal gifts and dowry. You should just focus on keeping Aunt company and not worry about anything else," Qin Xiaomi advised, pulling Grandma Qin back to the inner courtyard and leading her to Aunt Qin's room.

In her boudoir, besides the maids who served her, Qin Mei, Qin Ertao, and Jiang Xiaozhu were also there to keep Qin Xiaogu company.

"Mother." When Qin Xiaogu saw Qin Grandma, she smiled and got up to help her.

"Fifth Aunt/Fifth Grandma/Grandma Qin!" Qin Mei, Qin Ertao, and Jiang Xiaozhu all called out in unison.

"Hey, hey, good girls, sit down." Grandma Qin looked at them, still feeling a little sad... there were still far too few people.

Before fleeing the famine, when I was in my hometown in Zhongyuan Prefecture, when a girl from my clan got married, all the unmarried girls in the clan would come to the house to accompany her.

Now, her youngest daughter is getting married, and there are only a few people accompanying her.

"Mother, this happy occasion was very joyous. I thank you both." Qin Xiaogu saw the sadness in Qin Grandma's heart and sincerely offered words of comfort. She then looked at Qin Xiaomi and said, "And Xiaomi, thank you too."

On the journey of fleeing famine, settling down and making a fortune, and achieving great merit by defeating the enemy, everything was thanks to millet.

"What are you thanking me for?" Qin Xiaomi smiled, then her smile faded, and she said seriously to everyone, "Remember this, everything we have now is what we deserve, and we should enjoy it with a clear conscience, understand?"

Qin Mei and Qin Ertao straightened their backs and nodded solemnly, saying, "Understood!"

This?
It sounded just like a workshop's morning meeting. Aunt Qin couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly added, "Auntie understands too."

"Really?" Qin Xiaomi was a little skeptical, after all, they were from ancient times and learned the ways of abstaining from pleasure.

Aunt Qin nodded and said earnestly, "I really understand... Xiaomi just wants us to enjoy life more and not believe that suffering is a blessing. Am I right, Aunt?"

"Yes, yes, that's right." Qin Xiaomi was satisfied: "So, Aunt, let the servants or wet nurses do all the housework and baby care. You don't need to do it yourself."

Nursing a baby?
Everyone in the room was shocked. Even Grandma Qin blushed for her, saying, "What do you mean by 'breastfeeding'? How can a young girl who hasn't even reached marriageable age say such things?"

Qin Xiaomi asked sincerely, "Grandma means that I can say it after I come of age?"

"You can't say it when she comes of age, you can only say it after she becomes a mother!" Grandma Qin's voice rose in anxiety, but Qin Xiaomi just laughed, which made Grandma Qin annoyed and pok her forehead.

The atmosphere inside the room became lively because of this commotion.

Jiang Xiaozhu asked, "Sister Xiaomi, Sister Xiaomi, I'm hungry, what should we eat?"

"Hmm, let's have hot pot." Qin Xiaomi looked at her aunt and asked, "Auntie, do you want to eat hot pot?"

Aunt Qin nodded: "Okay, let's eat this. There are many kinds of dishes, so we can eat slowly."

"Okay, okay, we'll eat this. I'll go find Aunt Xu and ask her to make the arrangements." Jiang Xiaozhu scurried off to find Aunt Xu.

Eating hot pot requires a lot of preparation, and the meal takes a long time, often lasting for two meals and continuing until dark, until Qin Mei and Qin Ertao return home. The entire backyard is bustling with activity.

Look, even though there aren't many people, it's still very lively. Seeing this, Grandma Qin didn't feel so sad anymore.

But then, an awkward thing happened.

Grandma Qin wanted to sleep with Qin Xiaogu and explain to her what the bride would face on her wedding night.

Qin Xiaomi's eyes burned with gossip, which Jiang Xiaozhu didn't understand, but she always followed Qin Xiaomi and also watched Qin's grandmother and aunt with a gossipy eye.

Qin Xiaogu, who was usually calm, couldn't resist the gossipy looks from the two women, and her cheeks turned bright red.

Grandma Qin glared at them: "What are you looking at? Once you're full, hurry back to your rooms and go to sleep. You'll have to get up in the middle of the night tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, let's go back to our room now," Qin Xiaomi replied, leading Jiang Xiaozhu back to her room.

But her loud laughter rang out, making not only Aunt Qin but also Grandma Qin blush.

After closing the doors and windows and dismissing several maids, Grandma Qin looked at her daughter and felt an urge to turn around and run away.

Qin Xiaogu couldn't help but laugh out loud. She patted the stove bed and called to Grandma Qin, "Mother, come up and sit down. Let me see what your daughter has to offer."

Aunt Qin pulled a box from the corner of the bed, opened it, and inside were many small boxes, each about the size of a palm, and each box contained quite a few things.

She pulled out another box, opened it, and asked, "Mother, take a look at these things. These are gifts for Old Madam Guan when we serve tea. Do you think they are appropriate?"

Grandma Qin felt ashamed... Originally, she was supposed to comfort her daughter and make her less nervous, but now it was her daughter who was comforting her.

Grandma Qin sat down by the stove, reached out and touched Qin Xiaogu's hair, and sighed, "You're like your eldest brother, always the most composed in times of trouble..."

Xiaomi's father, Sister Shu, and Xiao Gu all seem honest, obedient, and in need of protection, but deep down they are extremely steady and reliable people.

When something happens, it doesn't worry my family.

Xiaomi's personality is just like the second brother's... They both have an extreme crazy streak in their bones, which is frightening to think about.

Grandma Qin quickly shook her head, banishing Qin Xiaomi and Uncle Qin from her mind, and looked at Aunt Qin again, smiling, "Having children like you in this life is a mother's blessing."

Aunt Qin smiled, nestled into Grandma Qin's arms, and choked up, saying, "It's a daughter's blessing to be her parents' daughter in this life."

"Hey, what are you two doing? Mom, Qin Xiaomi and Jiang Xiaozhu are eavesdropping!" Uncle Qin's voice suddenly came.

Qin Xiaomi: "Nonsense! It was clearly Jiang Xiaozhu who eavesdropped. I'm here to take her back!"

Jiang Xiaozhu: "Mmm, mmm, I was the one who was eavesdropping. Sister Xiaomi came to catch me."

Uncle Qin: "Do you two think I'm an idiot?"

"Grandma, I caught Xiaozhu! I'll take her back to her room to sleep right away!" Qin Xiaomi and Jiang Xiaozhu ran off in a hurry.

Jiang Xiaozhu also shouted, "Grandma Qin, with Qingniang, Heniang, and Shanniang there, I didn't hear anything. I know I was wrong!"

Before she finished speaking, Qin Xiaomi had already pulled her into the house.

When Grandma Qin opened the door and came out, they had already closed the door and turned off the lights.

Grandma Qin said to the dark window, "Go to sleep, or you'll be exhausted tomorrow."

After saying that, he told Uncle Qin to let the couple rest early, and then went back to his room.

"..." Uncle Qin became anxious: "Mother, are you just going to let it go like this? You're not going to punish them?"

So the whole family is only punishing him?
