Chapter 87

Qin Heng was getting impatient: "Big sister, you still need to nag me for such a small matter for so long."

Qin Yuan glared at him and said, "Then hurry back. I'll be waiting for cousin Siyuan."

Qin Hengxing went home excitedly and went straight to the upper room to talk to his parents. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his second sister and brother-in-law were there too.

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, you are here too." Qin Heng greeted them, then put down the package in his hand and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm back. This is what my eldest sister asked me to bring back."

Qin Jijiu frowned and said, "You went to Dingbei Marquis's Mansion to find the Marquis, and brought back something. Aren't you worried that your elder sister will be looked down upon?"

Cui also warned: "Don't take everything home. If you are short-sighted, you will be laughed at."

How could it be possible if the Marquis' Mansion looked down on the Qin Mansion? We must have a good talk with Qin Yuan in the future.

Qin Wan and Lin Ziqi always came empty-handed and kept silent when seeing this.

Qin Heng looked aggrieved and said loudly, "Son, I have refused many times. My eldest sister just brought some tea leaves and a piece of ink, saying they were for Dad. There were also two packages of snacks, made by the kitchen of the Marquis' Mansion. My eldest sister said that the family had never tasted this kind of flavor, so she asked me to bring it back to try. It's not worth much."

As she spoke, she took out the gift from Madam Gu and said, "This is a gift from the old lady. My elder sister asked me to accept it."

When Qin Jijiu heard that there were tea leaves and ink, he immediately opened it and looked at it. He exclaimed: "Wow, has your elder sister made a fortune? She actually gave me such good tea and Huizhou ink."

Qin Heng said: "This is the tea that the Marquis's Mansion serves to guests."

Qin Jijiu glared at him, then sniffed the Hui ink again and again, obviously unable to let it go.

When Cui saw Qin Hengde's gift, she couldn't help but say, "The Marquis's Mansion is really rich. The gift for a child is so generous."

Such a fine mutton-fat jade pendant, with a carving of a carp leaping over the dragon gate on it, is really a good omen.

The carving is exquisite and the jade is crystal clear. It must be worth at least a hundred taels of silver.

The Marquis’s Mansion is truly magnificent.

Every time it’s a generous gift.

Cui wanted to tell Qin Heng to keep it for him and give it to him when he grew up and knew how to cherish things.

But Qin Heng took out a bulging purse from his arms.

"what is this?"

"It's also a meeting gift. My son hasn't seen it yet."

Qin Heng opened his purse, which was filled with silver peanuts. As soon as the mouth was opened, a few peanuts rolled out.

Cui was delighted and sighed, unable to help saying, "My son, the Dingbei Marquis's mansion must be piled high with gold and silver. It's such a generous gift for a little guy like you."

"My son is not a child anymore," Qin Heng protested.

Qin Wan looked at these things, her expression changing again and again. In her previous life, Qin Heng did not receive such preferential treatment when he went to the Marquis' Mansion to see her.

As the saying goes, love someone and love their dog. How could Qin Yuan be so loved by Madam Gu? !
Qin Wan's hands were tightly twisting the handkerchief, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Qin Heng said proudly, "The old lady may have given more because she saw that I am elegant and handsome. My eldest sister said that the old lady likes good-looking girls. I have seen that the maids and servants in the old lady's room are all very beautiful and wear gold and silver. The old lady likes my eldest sister very much and has repeatedly told my parents not to worry and that she will never let my eldest sister suffer."

Then he turned to Qin Wan and said, "Second sister, don't worry about the eldest sister. Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion treats the eldest sister very well. In the eldest sister's Wutong Garden, everyone is very respectful and dares not make any mistakes. The maids and servants in the upper room don't dare to put on airs and greet me with smiles. The eldest sister asked me to come back and tell everyone that she is living well in the Marquis's Mansion. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Qin Wan said dryly: "Yes, really, that's good."

Cui glanced at her daughter's unhappy expression and sighed inwardly.

Such wealth should have belonged to this silly girl.

Who could be blamed?
Or he insisted on giving it to Qin Yuan.

Cui had been trying to be strong all her life, but failed in her marriage with Qin Wan. She couldn't figure out what was going on in the past few months, and even the incense money she donated to the temple was twice as much as in previous years.

Qin Heng danced with joy and said, "Second brother-in-law, eldest brother-in-law's sixth brother, I should call him Sixth Brother. The old lady said that he and you are very good friends, and they even agreed to start a poetry club together. The old lady asked him to come out and accompany me, but he was injured and said he was embarrassed to see people. We will meet each other sooner or later if we keep in touch."

Qin Jijiu glanced at Lin Ziqi.

Lin Ziqi also laughed dryly and said, "Gu Jingjun is an outlier in Dingbei Marquis's mansion. He likes reading and hanging out with scholars. He is different from Marquis Gu. I also met him at a poetry gathering. When we chatted, I found out that we are actually relatives. What a coincidence."

Qin Heng thought for a moment and said, "The Dingbei Marquis's Mansion is really too big. My sister's Wutong Garden alone is as big as the backyard of our Qin Mansion. I originally wanted to learn horse riding from my eldest brother-in-law, but he went to the camp... I have to go find my cousin. My eldest sister asked me to bring him a message."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone else to speak, he ran out of the upper room and went to the small courtyard to look for his second aunt and cousin.

"Come back," Cui hurriedly called him back, took a pack of snacks from the table, asked Qin Heng to take it, and said, "Take the pack of snacks to your second cousin and tell her that it's from Yuan'er."

Qin Heng responded and ran away.

Qin Jijiu pulled Lin Ziqi, who looked unhappy, and said, "Come on, let's go to the study and have a drink of the good tea in the Marquis' Mansion."

The father-in-law and son-in-law left.

Qin Wan lowered her head, unable to hide her gloom. Seeing this, Cui knew what she was thinking. She sighed and said, "Now that things have come to this, don't think about it. Just live a good life with Master Lin."

Qin Wan said stubbornly, "I just don't believe that Qin Yuan can have a good life in the Marquis' Mansion. That woman surnamed Zhao, her maidservant Bai Que, and Madam Gu Liu... How could these people let her have a good life? Could it be that Madam Gu really likes her? I don't believe it."

The more Cui listened, the more she felt something was wrong, so she asked, "What are you thinking about all day long? You don't worry about your son-in-law or the Lin family, so why do you worry about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion? Qin Yuan is good-looking and has a good temper. She is pleasing to the old lady. Isn't it good for her to live a better life? She lives a good life in the Marquis' Mansion, and she is good to you and your brother. God knows I couldn't sleep because of her a few days ago, fearing that she would not be able to stand firm. The Dingbei Marquis' Mansion is our best in-law. Your father has long said that Heng'er has a mediocre talent for studying, and he can only rely on his brother-in-law to help him in the future."

Qin Wan turned her head away and said disdainfully, "How much do you think the Dingbei Marquis's mansion can help my brother? Dingbei Marquis is just a warrior who can do nothing but fight. If the court doesn't fight anymore, what use will he have? I don't know how much money it will cost to support those family generals. The masters in the mansion only know how to enjoy themselves. For example, Master Gu Liu who likes to read is just a waste who can't even pass the examination for a scholar. He sleeps with prostitutes every day and has many concubines in the mansion. How much help can such a family help my brother?"

"One should have a long-term vision. It is better to treat my Ziqi well. In the future, he will..."
