Chapter 521: Fish Rolling His Eyes
Qin Huai agreed with Qin Xiaoxiao's words, but could not convince himself to believe Jing Heng.
If Jing Heng was born in an ordinary family of officials, with his identity as the Minister of Justice, he would be sure to suppress Jing Heng, so that Jing Heng would not dare to have any thoughts he shouldn't have and protect Qin Xiaoxiao from being wronged.
However, Jing Heng is the son of the Princess of the Guardian Kingdom and the nephew of Emperor Yuanhe. If Qin Xiaoxiao is disappointed in the future, he will be unable to do anything. Especially with Jing Heng's background, even if he will keep his promise and not take a concubine, Empress Dowager Jing and Emperor Yuanhe will not agree.
Now that the marriage imperial edict has been issued, there is no possibility of change. Qin Huai confessed his concerns to Qin Xiaoxiao, not to make her feel uncomfortable, but to hope that she will not indulge in love and love too much, so as not to suffer more in the future.
The conversation between the two clearly reached Jing Heng, who had not yet penetrated into Zaoyuan. While annoying Qin Huai's nonsense, he was moved by Qin Xiaoxiao's trust.
Mrs. Qin saw his emotional changes and said with a smile: "Don't blame Xiaoxiao for being indifferent to her words. In the future, you will understand his worries if you have a daughter."
Jing Heng's lips moved, and he smiled and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin has endless cases every day, so it is normal that he will not trust someone easily."
Mrs. Qin shook her head helplessly and said seriously: "You and Xiaoxiao have known each other for more than ten years. You should know that she is a person who can't rub the sand in your eyes. If you break your promise in the future, with her personality, you will definitely not forgive you, and you will never believe you again."
Jing Heng vaguely saw Qin Xiaoxiao's figure through the dead grass and bushes floating in the wind: "I won't do anything to be sorry for her."
Mrs. Qin could see that he was telling the truth, so she didn't say anything else.
Standing at the highest point of the Zaoyuan, the entire Zaoyuan doesn't look big, but after walking around the foot of the mountain, it can't be finished in two or three seconds. When the old and the young walked around the road for most of the time, Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Huai were already waiting there.
"Mr. Jing and I have something to discuss. Please help your grandma down the mountain first." Qin Huai thought of something and said to Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Okay." Qin Xiaoxiao didn't think much, blinked at Jing Heng and stroked the old lady Qin and left.
Dahuang and Meimei followed up happily and couldn't wait to follow the owner home.
When the backs of the grandparents and grandchildren were no longer visible, Qin Huai looked at Jing Heng with an expressionless face: "I agreed to what you mentioned last time."
Jing Heng was surprised for a moment, then understood why he changed his mind, and suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. However, there was no change in his face, and he said with a not sincere attitude: "Thank you, Lord Qin."
Qin Huai was not proud and his expression became rigorous: "This matter is not a one-day effort. When necessary, I need help from multiple parties. I hope you don't give up halfway."
When Jing Heng heard this, he also put away his dissatisfaction with him and said seriously: "But if you need it, Lord Qin will speak."
Qin Huai's face eased, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask his doubts: "Why do you insist on doing this? It's not of any benefit to you."
Qin Xiaoxiao's figure appeared in Jing Heng's mind, and his voice was as light as if it could be blown away by the wind: "This is Xiaoxiao's wish, so naturally he has to help her achieve it."
Qin Huai was stunned. Just as he was about to ask, Jing Heng turned around and chased him all the way down the mountain.
Qin Xiaoxiao helped Mrs. Qin to the foot of the mountain. When she heard the familiar footsteps coming from behind, she turned around and asked as if she was watching the show, "Is it time to discuss it so quickly?"
Jing Heng knew that she had misunderstood and did not explain: "Yes."
Seeing that he was unintentionally speaking, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't ask much, and cared about whether he and the Princess of the Guardian: "Would you and Your Highness return to the capital today or stay in the villa for a night before leaving tomorrow?"
When Jing Heng heard this, he unconsciously thought of what Zhao Xiuxiu said last time he went to the villa. He lowered his eyes and covered the anger in his eyes, and held Qin Xiaoxiao's hand as if no one was around: "Let's go later."
In front of Mrs. Qin, Qin Xiaoxiao was still a little embarrassed. She couldn't get away after making a profit. She secretly glared at Jing Heng and signaled him not to go too far.
Jing Heng pretended not to see it, and the force on his hands became even stronger.
Seeing that he was so abnormal, Qin Xiaoxiao had to suspect that he was stimulated by Qin Huai. Thinking that he had not yet fully pleased his father, and now there was another obstacle like Lord Qin, she laughed unkindly.
"What are you laughing at?" Jing Heng looked at her for no reason.
"No, nothing, I just think the weather is good today, and there will be moonlight at night. You and Your Highness are not afraid of traveling at night." Qin Xiaoxiao dared not tell the truth, so he lie casually.
How could Jing Heng be so easily fooled by her? She was going to ask about the embroidered handkerchief, but Mrs. Qin was watching from the side. He didn't want the third person to know about the exchange of love tokens, so he pretended to believe her: "It's good."
Seeing their friendship that could not be hidden while chatting and laughing, Mrs. Qin secretly felt relieved.
She was not prejudiced to Jing Heng, and he and Qin Xiaoxiao stood together, making people feel good when they looked at Jing Heng, so the look he looked at was that his grandmother looked at his grandson-in-law, and he liked him the more he looked at him.
When everyone talked for a while, the princess of the Guguo said goodbye to Mr. Qin.
Qinhuai was busy with official duties and could not stay in the Qin family for a long time, so he also offered to say goodbye.
Mrs. Qin was very reluctant to leave and wanted to stay here for two days, but she knew that it was inappropriate to make this request now, so she didn't say it out loud. She just reluctantly grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and told her to go to the capital and not forget to see her.
While they were saying goodbye to each other, Qin Xiaoxiao finally remembered her embroidered handkerchief and pulled Jing Heng aside and stared at him and asked, "Brother Li, where is my embroidered handkerchief?"
Jing Heng pretended to be stupid: "Didn't you put it away yourself?"
Qin Xiaoxiao said suspiciously: "I lost it, didn't you pick it up?"
Jing Heng shook his head: "No."
Qin Xiaoxiao still didn't believe it: "You must have picked it up. If someone else picked it up, they wouldn't let me give it."
Jing Heng frowned and looked at her with a look of "You are making trouble": "Search you for your body?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
Jing Heng's handsome face turned black in an instant: "How can you, a girl, search a man's body at will?"
Qin Xiaoxiao wondered: "We have been married. You are my fiancé, why can't you search?"
Jing Heng's face turned from black to red, and he was speechless.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him up and down, guessing where he was hiding the embroidered handkerchief. Finally, his eyes fell on his chest, and a claw was about to move.
Jing Heng couldn't bear it anymore, so he patted her paws and turned around and ran away.
Qin Xiaoxiao was afraid of being seen by the elders, so she did not dare to make too much noise. She touched the back of her hand that was hurt by being patted and muttered dissatisfiedly: "If you don't search, just say it, it's like I want to take advantage of you."
Jing Heng staggered, turned around and looked at his fiancée speechlessly, deeply doubting that there was a hooligan living in her heart.
After not being able to search this body, Qin Xiaoxiao refused to give up and turned over every corner of the house and asked everyone, but still no whereabouts of the embroidered handkerchief.
Now she must have been picked up by Jing Heng, but now the person has left, and she can't catch up even if she wants to chase him, so she had to toss and beat the person up and down several times in her heart at the Cat Fish Woodcarving.
On the mountain road, Princess Huguo walked in front with two guards, in the middle was Qin Huai's carriage, and Jing Heng and scissors and stone cloth fell at the end.
At this time, the big cloth driver immediately stepped forward and took out an embroidered handkerchief and handed it to Jing Heng: "Young Master, is this what you asked me to pick up?"
Jing Heng didn't even look at it, so he took it and stuffed it directly into his clothes, answering Dabu with practical actions.
"Young Master, I don't even want this ugly girl Qin. Why do you ask Dabu to pick it up?" asked Dabu with scissors, making Dabu no longer have time to block his mouth.
Seeing his son staring at him expressionlessly, the scissors thought he didn't believe it, and continued, "It's really ugly. Not only are the stitches thick and hard, but the embroidered fish rolling their eyes at people. The dog's eyes are still big and small. I have never seen such a bad embroiderer."
Seeing that his young master was on the verge of an outbreak, Shitou quickly reached out to pull his brother's neck over and blocked his mouth: "Shut up, the young master cares so much about this embroidered handwritten by Miss Xiaoxiao!"
The scissors suddenly widened their eyes, unable to accept the truth.
Shitou didn't care whether he could accept it or not, and he let go of a look of "seeking for self-blessing" and let go of the person.
Jing Heng ignored them, but was curious because of the words of scissors. He couldn't help but put his hand into his clothes and took out the embroidered handkerchief.
The scissors and stone cloth had a very eye-catching look. She pretended to look at the scenery on both sides of the road, but did not let her eyes fall on the embroidery handkerchief. As the scissors said, it was the worst embroidery worker they had ever seen. I couldn't help laughing at the first glance when I saw it at the Qin family.
They really haven't seen a fish that rolls their eyes.
When Jing Heng opened the embroidered handkerchief, he saw a fish rolling his eyes and a dog with eyes of one big and one small, with four legs of different thicknesses. He twitched slightly, and he endured it and finally couldn't help it. The handkerchief covered his face and smiled dullly.
Seeing this, Scissors and Stone Cloth felt relieved.
Jing Heng stared at the embroidered handkerchief for a while, until the white-eyed fish and the twisted dog were lingering in his mind, he put away the embroidered handkerchief and hid it in his clothes, and then glanced at the scissors and stone cloth: "The embroidered handkerchief is not allowed to mention it to anyone!"
If the little girl knows that he is lying, she will have to come up with old accounts in the future. Maybe he will be suspicious if he says anything else.
Scissors and stone cloth said in unison: "Yes, young master!"
The fact that the adopted daughter of the Qin family in Qingshan Village was given a marriage to the son of the Princess' Mansion by the emperor soon spread in all directions. Every day, there were endless people coming to the house to congratulate him. Some women even brought their daughter to the house to ask Qin Xiaoxiao how to catch a golden son-in-law.
For ordinary people, a six-yuan top student just changed the Qin family's family, so Qin Xiaoxiao's marriage to a royal relative would be a step to reach the sky, making the entire Qin family a transcendent existence.
Therefore, people who have nothing to do with the Qin family also flocked to them, praising Qin Xiaoxiao's shoes from hair to feet, and even implying countless words: You are successful, don't forget to support us poor relatives!
At first, Qin Xiaoxiao was able to entertain them, but after a long time, she couldn't stand it. She had to run to the mountain to hide from the quiet and practice embroidery skills, so that she could embroider wedding clothes as soon as possible.
On that day, Qin Xiaoxiao had breakfast and was about to bring Dahuang and Mimei up the mountain. He met Zhou Baoer and Meng Xiuran who came with gifts at the entrance of the yard.
"Auntie, uncle-in-law, why are you free to come?" Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't been to the Meng family for a while. He was very happy to see Zhou Baoer and his wife. He quickly took the gift and welcomed them into the door: "Why don't you see Wen Qing and Wanwan?"
"I opened a printing and dyeing workshop in the capital a while ago, and I have been busy with the new workshop. I just got idle and heard that you were given a marriage by the emperor, so I hurried over and take a look." Zhou Baoer explained with a smile: "Wenqing can't come to study, so she caught a cold night and night. It's been better in the past two days, so she didn't dare to take her out."
When he heard that Wanwan was sick, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't bother to ask about her workshop and said anxiously: "Wanwan is so young, isn't it serious?"
Zhou Baoer shook her head: "It's not a big deal, just lose weight, just raise it."
Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go fishing for some crucian carp later. You can take it back and make up for Wanwan."
Summer carp and winter carp are good things to nourish the body, but they are rarely sold in the market during this season.
"Okay, I'll thank you sister for Wanwan." Zhou Baoer did not refuse and agreed with a smile.
Compared to a few months ago, Qin Xiaoxiao's appearance grew a little longer. She couldn't help but sigh: "I still remember marrying your uncle-in-law that year. You went to my room to please the money, and in a blink of an eye, you will get married."
When others say this, Qin Xiaoxiao will pretend to be shy. In front of Zhou Baoer, she doesn't know what shyness is: "It's already early. My mother has forced me to embroider wedding clothes every day. I guess when the wedding clothes I embroidered can be seen, Brother Li will have to wait for the wrinkles on his face."
Lin Qiuniang walked out of the main hall and heard this sentence. She stepped forward and slapped her on the forehead: "I don't have any regular shape all day long. Your hands are as sharp as your mouth. My mother will not worry about not being able to sleep well at night."
After saying that, she drove the person aside and greeted Zhou Baoer and his wife: "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense. The wedding date is about next year. I'm afraid that there is not enough time to urge this girl to practice embroidery. Her current embroidery three-year-old child dislikes her."
Zhou Baoer felt aroused and asked, "This embroidery worker can not practice it in just a few days, why don't you find an embroiderer to embroider?"
Lin Qiuniang said, "Don't the girls' wedding dresses be embroidered by themselves. Will they be laughed at when they find embroiderers to embroider, right?"
Zhou Baoer shook her head: "If this is the case, no one in the wealthy family is proficient in embroidery. Most of them are looking for embroidery ladies to embroider. After adding two needles to themselves, it can be considered as embroidering themselves."
Lin Qiuniang said in surprise: "It can still be like this..."
Qin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed: "Mom, I can't practice my embroidery skills well for a while, so I'll just ask the embroidery lady to embroider. Then I'll add two more needles."
Lin Qiuniang glared at her fiercely and asked her to shut up.
Zhou Baoer couldn't help laughing, and recommended herself: "I asked myself that the embroiderer could still see it. It just so happened that I had free time during this period. Let me embroider Xiaoxiao's wedding dress."
