reborn widow

Chapter 26

Chen Lan pointed to two young women and introduced to Gui Qingqing: "Sister Qing, these are the first and second cousins ​​of my uncle's family."

Presuming that this eldest cousin is Qin Yanshan's wife, Gui Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward to salute, calling her first cousin and second cousin.

Along the way, Chen Lan had already introduced the situation of the Qin family to Gui Qingqing. There were four brothers and sisters in the Qin family. The eldest son, Qin Huaide, served as the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture. The wife lives with the eldest son in Qingzhou Mansion. Qin Huaide has three sons and three daughters. Qin Yanshan is the eldest cousin. The second and third are Qin Jingshan and Qin Qianshan. The second miss, Qin Ziyu, and the third miss, Qin Zijin, have not yet left the cabinet.

Qin Yanshan's wife, Mrs. Mai, was very enthusiastic about Gui Qingqing, and took her hand to ask her questions. Gui Qingqing answered each one with a smile.

Along the corridor paved with bluestone slabs, passing the Moon Cave Gate, you will see another courtyard surrounded by water-polished brick walls and clear tiles and flowers.There are five upper rooms on the front, and wing rooms on both sides, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings.The yard is full of roses, and there is a faint fragrance of roses in the wind. There are a few rocks dotted in the yard, several plantains, a crabapple, and many exotic flowers and herbs. , Hanging eaves around the columns...

There were a few little maids dressed in red and green standing on the steps. When they saw Maishi bringing the guests, they immediately divided into two groups. One group went to the inner room to announce the news, and the other group greeted them and saluted them. Li smiled and said: "The old lady has already read Miss Biao countless times."

Chen Lan looked at Gui Qingqing and said, "Grandma doesn't know whether she misses me or you, I think most of them want to see you!"

Before Gui Qingqing could speak, she heard a voice say: "You girl has no conscience! Grandma loves you for nothing."

I saw an old lady with silver hair on the porch in front of the door, and there were several women in brocade clothes standing beside her. I don't know their identities. Gui Qingqing thought, this old lady should be Chen Lan Grandmother Lang's, she does look five points like me in appearance, I don't know what their plans are, and what should I call myself?Since he came here as Chen Lan's friend, should he also be called by Chen Lan's name?Suddenly, he thought that he and Chen Lan had the same relationship with the Qin family. If they were called by the same name, wouldn't it be a bit...

Mrs. Mai quickly pulled Gui Qingqing forward, and Chen Lan took a few steps to wrap her arms around the old lady's arm, "Old lady, I worked so hard to bring Sister Qing, and you still say that about her."

"There are no rules, and you still don't introduce your friends to grandma!" Although the old lady was speaking to Chen Lan, her eyes were on Gui Qingqing.

Chen Lan smiled and said, "This is Sister Qing, Grandma, do you think she looks like Mother?"

The old lady's eye circles were a little red, her hands were trembling, and the sadness all over her body seemed to be forced to hold back. Looking at Gui Qingqing's face, she just felt that this was her little daughter when she was young. How can a mother's heart be calm?
Looking at the excited old lady, Gui Qingqing didn't feel much sadness. In her previous life and present life, maybe she has experienced too much, and her heart has gone through vicissitudes, right?Besides, for a person who has never met, although they know that there is a possibility of blood relationship, they are still talking about whether they recognize her or not...

So Gui Qingqing calmly saluted the old lady. Since no one told her what to call her, let's do it according to her own ideas!Gui Qingqing said: "Gui's Qingqing pays homage to the old matriarch, please forgive me for being rash."

A lady in her 50s next to her had been sizing up Gui Qingqing for a while, and seeing her graceful, she couldn't help nodding secretly, seeing that her mother-in-law was too excited, she persuaded from the side: "Old lady, it's better to invite the guests to come in and sit down." Well, there is no reason to stand in the yard and talk."

The old lady wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, pointed at the woman next to her and said with a smile: "Good boy, this is Lan'er's eldest aunt, you can call her..." The old lady didn't know how to ask Gui Qingqing to call her daughter-in-law What's so good, if you also call her aunt, who knows if it will make people think too much in the future?If there is something more...

Gui Qingqing had long guessed that she should be Qin Yanshan's mother, Mrs. Lin, and she hurriedly called on her again, calling "Auntie". The old lady sighed secretly, but did not correct her. Hand smiled and said: "Come into the hall and talk."

After taking a seat in the living room, Gui Qingqing glanced at the living room out of the corner of her eye, and saw something different. The four sides of the flower hall are carved with hollow and exquisite wooden boards. The patterns, the windows pasted with five-color gauze, look translucent and exquisite...

Song Ziqiao is a big family in Qingpu County. When Gui Qingqing first went to Song's house, she was amazed. Now she came to Qin's house to know that Qin's house is several times more exquisite than Song's house. Before Gui Qingqing had time to take a closer look, the old lady said: "I see you The pearl earrings on the ears are very nice, is there a branch of Xinshun Jewelry in Qingpu County?"

Gui Qingqing didn't expect the old lady to be short-tempered. She noticed her earrings at the first glance. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Qingpu is a small place, how could there be? This pair of earrings is a relic left by my mother."

"Can you show it to me?" The old lady's voice was full of eagerness.

"Okay." When Gui Qingqing left home, Li Song was afraid that she would forget, so he specially told her to put on this pair of earrings, just for this moment.She took off the earrings and handed them to the little girl next to her. The little girl held them and brought them to the old lady. The old lady looked carefully, tears were already streaming down.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly said: "Qingqing, you don't know something. Your appearance is very similar to Yanshan's little aunt, so the old lady is a little excited today." mean.

The old lady obviously realized that she was losing her composure, and she hurriedly said: "You and my little daughter look very similar, alas, she died at a young age. Among my children, she is the one I love the most. Unexpectedly, she left me early, and now seeing you, it's like seeing her, how can you not make me feel sad..." The old lady said, picking up the handkerchief to wipe her tears, while Handing the earring to the little maid, she said: "This earring is a good thing, since it was left by your mother, please keep it well."

Gui Qingqing could hear from her words that she didn't want to recognize her at all. Although she felt a little regretful, it was expected. If she wanted to recognize her, why wait until now?It's all her own fantasies...

Gui Qingqing put on the earrings, calmed down her mind a little bit, and persuaded with a smile: "Madam, let's express my condolences. The so-called death cannot be resurrected. If your daughter knows it underground, she will also be sad when she sees you so sad... "

Mrs. Lin next to her also persuaded her for a while, and the old lady gradually shed her tears and asked about Gui Qingqing's life. Gui Qingqing has lived for two lives and knows what old people like to hear, so she only picks up interesting things in the countryside. As I said, as for the hardships in her past life, when asked, Gui Qingqing just said it lightly, and refused to say a word, so that the Qin family present here looked up to her a lot.

Although Gui Qingqing has always wanted to lean against a big tree for shade, but she also understands that most of the time, she can't act too hastily. As it turns out, she has the right to be unaware of her own background, and to talk with the old lady in a dignified and elegant manner.

The old and the young talked for a while, and the old lady remembered that she hadn't introduced the people in the room, so she smiled and said: "Look at my memory, I'm really old, I even forget the serious things, Lan'er doesn't want to think about it." remind me."

Chen Lan said with a smile: "Sister Qing still has three cousins, second cousin, and third cousin that I don't recognize. They are all younger than Sister Qing, and they have nothing to do with it if you introduce them later. Don't be afraid, there is no place for injustice. sue."

When Chen Lan said this, everyone in the room laughed, and the old lady laughed too. She pointed to a handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen and said, "This is Qianshan, your third...brother." The slender young lady aged fourteen or fifteen said, "This is Ziyu, and the one next to him is Zijin." Qin Zijin was only twelve or thirteen years old. Although the two sisters were young, they could be seen as beauties now Blank.

The three of them went forward to greet Gui Qingqing one by one. Gui Qingqing was also prepared. The Qin family was very rich, so she didn't give any gold or silver.

Chen Lan suddenly smiled and said: "I suddenly found that the names of the third cousin and sister Qing match very well! One is called Qingqing, and the other is called Zijin."

Lin smiled and said: "It's true, the name is so coincidental." While talking and laughing, a maid said outside the door: "Old lady, madam, the master is back."

While speaking, a man in his fifties came in, wearing an official uniform. He had just come back from the Yamen, followed by Qin Yanshan. Gui Qingqing stood up quickly, and the old lady introduced with a smile: "Qingqing, this is Chen Lan's uncle. ,you……"

Gui Qingqing stepped forward to salute, "Lord Qin, Gui Qingqing, the daughter of the people, it's presumptuous to come here, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Although Qin Huaide had heard from his son that Gui Qingqing looked a lot like his younger sister, he didn't expect to be so similar. He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "What are you talking about? Since she is Lan'er's best friend, let's take it here. Treat it as your own home."

Gui Qingqing smiled and said: "In front of the adults, the little girl dare not hide it. Although the little girl and Miss Lan'er are very good friends, if there are no other reasons, the little girl should not take the liberty to bother her." The Qin family doesn't want to recognize each other. She, Gui Qingqing, also has dignity and integrity. I didn't come just because you wanted me, Gui Qingqing. I came for a reason!Gui Qingqing doesn't mind smearing Song Ziqiao now.

Qin Yanshan was greatly surprised and hurriedly asked, "What happened to your family? Why didn't I know?"

Gui Qingqing pondered for a moment, then said, "I was avoiding someone..."
