While Qin Xiaoxiao was nagging Qin Shan, two carriages, one big and one small, slowly drove into Qingshan Village and finally stopped at the gate of the Qin family's courtyard.

The villagers chatting at the door stared at the carriage curiously, guessing that this was another wealthy relative of the Qin family. When they saw Qin He, who was wearing regular clothes, opened the carriage and walked out of the carriage, then helped two elderly ladies down from it.

One is Mrs. Qin and the other is mother Liu.

The carriage behind them was carrying two maids. After the car stopped, they quickly got out and stepped forward to support Mrs. Qin.

The two guards at the door obviously knew Qin Huai. After seeing his face clearly, they were stunned for a moment. They hurried in and reported to the people in the main hall.

"This is where Xiaoxiao grew up!" Mrs. Qin squinted her eyes and looked at the small but clean farmyard in front of her, and felt infinite emotion in her heart, feeling distressed for her granddaughter and grateful to the Qin family.

"Xiaoxiao has lived a good life here, mom doesn't need to worry." Qin Huai comforted the old lady. This was the only thing that made him feel relieved for his biological daughter who had been away for more than ten years.

"Let's go, let's go in." Old Mrs. Qin smiled, and the sadness on her face disappeared. She walked into the yard with the help of Qin Huai and Liu's mother.

Looking at their backs, the villagers looked at each other, suspected that the visitor was not good, and couldn't help but worry about the Qin family:

"Will this Lord Qin be jealous of Uncle Hongwu and the others? He wants to take Xiaoxiao away?"

"It shouldn't be. He is a powerful and powerful official, and he is not very old. It's not difficult to give birth to a daughter like Xiaoxiao? What is he jealous of Uncle Wu?"

"You don't understand this. No matter how big the official is, can he be bigger than the princess? Xiaoxiao married into the princess's mansion, and that is the prince's nephew's wife, half a royal family! Tsk tsk, if I had such a promising daughter, I wouldn't change it to ten sons!"

This is sufficient reason, and other villagers who did not express their opinions nodded, thinking that Qin Huai's suspicion of taking over a daughter was even greater. What's more, this Lord Qin said that "that aspect" is not good and he cannot give birth to more children.

After talking for a while, someone misunderstood the title: "After that being said, Xiaoxiao was just picked up by Uncle Wu's family, didn't he join our Qin family genealogy? Now she is going to marry outside. Do you have to cross out the name on this genealogy?"

"This... I have to ask the patriarch for this matter. It is not easy to have a noble person in our clan. If it is crossed out, it is not considered a person in our clan. What a pity..."

"That's right, it depends on the patriarch's meaning."

Everyone discussed it all over the place. Most people hoped that Qin Xiaoxiao's name could be retained in the genealogy, so that they could brag about it with confidence and say that the emperor's nephew's wife is their cousin!

How majestic!

Mr. Qin and others were not surprised by the arrival of Qin Huai and his son. They invited them to sit down very politely and treated them as distinguished guests as they said before.

When Qin Xiaoxiao and the others heard the news, Qin Huai and his wife came to the main hall, chatting with Mr. Qin, the princess of the country, laughed and laughed. Mrs. Qin also eagerly held Mrs. Miao's hand, like an old sister who had not seen for many years.

In short, the atmosphere in the room is extremely harmonious, and it makes people feel weird.

"Xiaoxiao is here, come here and let grandma take a good look." Old Mrs. Qin saw Qin Xiaoxiao, and her eyes were filled with smiles and waved to her.

Qin Huai heard this and looked at her. Seeing that there was no lewd look on her face, she was still born with a smile as before, and she knew that as Jing Heng said that day, this marriage was as she wished.

"Grandma Qin, Lord Qin." Qin Xiaoxiao gave the salute and walked to her as Mrs. Qin's wishes, feeling a little relieved.

Before this, she had never thought about telling them about engagement. Now that the person has arrived at home, she feels a little uneasy about being questioned.

"I always thought you were still a child before. A few days ago, your father... said you were going to get engaged, but my grandma realized that you were already a big girl."

Mrs. Qin held her hand and said kindly, not mentioning why she hadn't said she had wanted to get engaged, but the regret in her tone was revealed inadvertently.

"In the eyes of you elders, I am indeed a child!" Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time he acted coquettishly in front of Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin felt aroused in her heart, and she wanted to hold her in her arms and rub her. But she knew the right way in front of the Qin family and didn't want her granddaughter to make things difficult for her, so she smiled at Mrs. Miao and said, "Look, everyone who has been engaged is still a childish spirit!"

It was obvious that she had no intention of competing for her granddaughter. Old Mrs. Miao was not as nervous as before, and she also laughed: "This girl has spoiled us and she spoiled herself as a child!"

Qin Xiao smiled and pretended to be ashamed and annoyed, "Grandma, stop talking, I'm not a real three-year-old child, I don't want to be faced!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room laughed. Lin Qiuniang put a fun together and revealed her daughter's shortcomings: "Who said just now that she is still a child in the eyes of the elders? Since she is a child, what else can she have to save face."

Qin Xiaoxiao really blushed and hugged Old Mrs. Miao's arm and asked for help: "Grandma, you love me the most. My mother burys me like this, you have to take care of it."

Old Mrs. Miao laughed so hard that tears came out. She patted the back of her hand and slashed it "ruthlessly": "Your mother is right, grandma can't be unreasonable."

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned, pretending to wipe the corners of his eyes, and sat on the chair beside him with a look of sadness.

After being fussed like this, everyone laughed more and more happily. The strange harmony that had been before disappeared without knowing it, leaving only real laughter and joy.

Qin Huai had never seen such a lively Qin Xiaoxiao. At this moment, he realized that in his short decades of life, he had missed many joys that he had never experienced, and finally understood what family happiness is and what color clothes to entertain relatives.

Such joy can only be experienced this time.

The food was almost ready. Lin Qiuniang and Zhao Caoer went to the stove to cook a broth, stir-fry two more dishes, and then set up a table to have a meal.

There are many people today, so there are two tables for men and women.

There is no need to drink at a man's table, and there are several dishes on the table.

The wine they drank was Shaw Brothers black wine brought by Jing Heng. They had been treasured in the winery for several years. As soon as the wine was smelling in the room, they caught all the wine bugs in everyone's stomachs, including the Minister of Rites who did not want to drink at the beginning.

At the women's table, everyone was drinking Shaw Brothers' peach blossom wine. The wine was soft and the wine was not as good as black wine. Women who could drink wine would not be drunk if they drank a few bowls. It would be impossible for Qin Xiaoxiao to do so. Lin Qiuniang only allowed her to drink half a bowl.

This half bowl of peach blossom wine is her bottom line. If there are too many, there will be no distinction between humans and animals. There is a great possibility of bleating and calling her father.

I remember one time, Chubu brought a rare prey, and its meat was very delicious. At that time, the family was very comfortable eating and drinking with peach blossom wine. She couldn't control the amount and drank half a bowl.

After drinking half a bowl of wine, no one noticed her abnormality. When Lin Qiuniang sent her to the stove to wash dishes, she waited for half an hour but didn't see her coming back, so she went to the stove to see what she was messing with.

As a result, as soon as she walked to the backyard, she saw her grabbing Mimei's two big horns and crying while accusing Lin Qiuniang, but she regarded Mimei as Qin Shan. After a long time of trouble, she realized that she thought her parents had a quarrel, so her mother drove her father to the cattle shed to sleep.

At that time, Lin Qiuniang was so angry that she grabbed her ears and washed her face with a veil soaked in cold water. Only then did she wake up and she was not allowed to drink more.

The food of the Princess's Mansion guards, the mother Liu of the Qin Mansion and the two maids were not missed. They set up another table in the second room next door, so that everyone could eat freely.

"These two dishes are made by Xiaoxiao. I wonder if they match the tastes of Your Highness and the Old Lady." Lin Qiuniang placed the mushroom chicken and crystal glutinous rice balls made by Qin Xiaoxiao to the Princess Huguo and Old Lady Qin, so that they could taste Qin Xiaoxiao's skills.

"This girl can cook, but her color looks beautiful and the taste is definitely not bad." The Princess of the Guguo understood Lin Qiuniang's intention, and praised Qin Xiaoxiao with great shame before she tasted it.

"You can barely get the word, if your highness likes it, use it more." Qin Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed by the princess of the Guardian Kingdom, and he really felt that he couldn't afford to praise this.

The Princess Huguo only thought she was modest, and gave in to Mrs. Qin for a while, then picked up a crystal glutinous rice ball and tasted it carefully.

After drinking a round piece, she praised again in Lin Qiuniang's expectant eyes: "It tastes great, I like it very much, Xiaoxiao is very considerate."

Lin Qiuniang and others heard this, their faces were filled with joy, and they quickly called the Princess Huguo to use the fresh and fragrant mushroom chicken.

Qin Xiaoxiao also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether your highness really likes it or says politely, at least he will feel that he is "unable to show off".

After all, in their eyes, her needlework is even worse. If her cooking skills are not good, she will definitely focus on "teaching" her in the next days.

Mrs. Qin, who was sitting beside the Princess of the Guguo, felt very distressed, and felt that if her granddaughter grew up in front of her, she could only be impressed by poetry and books, and there was no need to try this hard way to please the Princess of the Guguo.

However, it was normal to think that the Qin family was a farmer and had such an idea, so the discomfort disappeared. Especially after seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's study room full of books, I knew that the Qin family really treated her as a man.

This is also very rare among wealthy families.

Qin Xiaoxiao found that the old lady Qin did not move her chopsticks, but looked at her with a complicated expression. She didn't understand the meaning for a moment, so she said, "Grandma Qin, this glutinous rice is not easy to melt. Don't eat the glutinous rice when you use it."

Mrs. Qin didn't expect to get the concern of her granddaughter at the dinner table, and the smile on her face couldn't stop: "Okay, okay, grandma listen to you."

After saying that, she picked up a meatball and put it in her bowl, pulled down a layer of glutinous rice wrapped outside, and tasted her granddaughter's cooking skills in small bites, thinking that this was the best meat ball she had ever eaten.

"The taste is really good. Today, the old woman has a good taste." Old Mrs. Qin praised Qin Xiaoxiao with a smile, and ate several times in a row.

In addition to the crystal glutinous rice balls, mushroom chicken was also praised by Princess Huguo and Mrs. Qin, which made Qin Xiaoxiao feel embarrassed. In the end, not only did the two dishes on the women's table eat up, but also the men's table.

Who made Jing Heng and Qin Huai taste Qin Xiaoxiao's cooking skills for the first time?

Only the Minister of Rites thought that these two dishes were very ordinary. Seeing that they ate more than the other, they thought they had something wrong with their taste.

The guests and guests of this meal were all happy. Mrs. Qin sent two maids to the stove to wash the pots and dishes, hoping that Qin Xiaoxiao would take her around.

Before Qin Xiaoxiao went to Qin's mansion to visit her, she had proposed to visit Qingshan Village. This time, Qin Xiaoxiao naturally would not refuse. She said to others and helped Mrs. Qin to the old house.

Chen Feng and his son were chopping firewood in the yard. After knowing their purpose, they quickly put down their axe and avoided them.

Qin Xiaoxiao helped Mrs. Qin to the small house where he lived when he was young, pointing to a small bed on the west wall, his face full of nostalgia: "At that time, there was no separation. Sister Xue Ya and Sanbao live here. Sanbao is timid and sleeps with me on this bed. Every day, we hid in the quilt and secretly told each other stories. Sometimes when the sound was loud, it woke up Sister Xue Ya, and Sister Xue Ya scolded us..."

Most of the memories of childhood have flew away with time, and the little bit left behind has become a lifelong memory. It is impossible to forget them if you want to.

Mrs. Qin looked at the shabby little bed and the picture she described appeared in her mind. She didn't even feel that her granddaughter's life was hard: "I heard you frequently mention the Three Treasures before, and I think you have a great relationship with your siblings."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, his eyebrows and eyes were full of warmth: "Sanbao and I were born in the same year. I grew up together. When I was a child, he would follow him wherever I went. The villagers laughed at him and said that he was my little follower, but in my heart, he was my brother."

Mrs. Qin nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, it's good to have brothers."

This tone is no different from that of an ordinary old lady. Qin Xiaoxiao was so amused that he could not hear it. Naturally, he understood what was the good thing about this "good" and what was good about it.

The old house was full of traces of Qin Xiaoxiao's childhood. When he touched the black marks on the wall under the eaves, Mrs. Qin seemed to be able to see how Qin Xiaoxiao grew up from a yellow-haired girl to her appearance now.

After leaving the old house, the two of them walked along the village road towards the Qinghu Lake.

Under the corner of the wall, the cats basking in the sun on the roof saw her, "meow meow" and got up, lazily following her footsteps, rubbing her trouser legs from time to time, lying at her feet with all their legs facing the sky, intending to get her caress.

When they arrived by the lake, a few black wild raccoons jumped out from somewhere, scaring Mrs. Qin so much that they thought these beasts were coming down the mountain to harm people, so they pulled Qin Xiaoxiao and were about to run away.

Until he saw the black wild raccoons lying docilely like kittens, hooking her ankles to prevent her from leaving, and making pleasing cats, Old Lady Qin was stunned.

At this moment, the old lady's brain circuit reached an agreement with the villagers: Could her granddaughter be transformed by a mouse?
