Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 201
Dinner is served in the lobby. There is a large round mahogany carved table full of delicacies, and all the members of the Qin family who can arrive have already arrived.

There are only three members of the eldest family of the Qin family, the eldest wife of the Qin family, Qin Xi and Luo Yunrui.Brother Jie was too young to participate in such a family banquet, and he was afraid that he would cry because of sleepiness, so he was carried back to the yard by the nanny early in the morning to rest.

There are many people in the second bedroom of the Qin family. In addition to the second master and the second wife of the Qin family, there are also two young masters and two young mistresses.I heard that they also sent people to invite Qin Yan who was married, but it seems that Qin Yan did not return to her mother's house.

Naturally, there were only the three of them, mother and son, at the aunt's place. However, the aunt sat next to the old lady of the Qin family early in the morning. The old lady didn't say anything else, and asked the two young masters of the Fang family to sit next to her.

Luo Yunrui and Mrs. Qin's family looked at each other, but said nothing.Although the position on this table is somewhat inappropriate, considering that the elder of the Qin family has passed away and Qin Shaotian is not at home.There were three men in the second room, but because the second master was a concubine, he couldn't sit next to the old lady, so he didn't speak.

This is also a family dinner, right?But Luo Yunrui feels that a place without Qin Shaotian is not a home.But in order not to spoil the good spirits of the old lady of the Qin family, Luo Yunrui still ate with a light smile.Luo Yunrui is actually pretty good. After all, even if she doesn't like the aunt and the two young masters of the Fang family, she has no reason to dislike them. At least both of them can sit calmly and even smile.

However, except for Luo Yunrui, the faces of the other people are not so good-looking.

The eldest wife of the Qin family and Qin Xi have been worrying about the issue of their marriage, eating so much that they don't know what to eat.

The second room of the Qin family may not be able to be happy either. The second master felt that the aunt sitting next to the old lady was sweeping his face, so he kept his head down in a muffled voice.The second wife was worried about Qin Yan, because the servant who reported to her told her that Qin Yan's complexion was very bad, as if she was ill.The Second Young Master, the Third Young Master and the Third Young Mistress (Miss Xue Jiabiao) are very aware of the character of the aunt, and they just want to curl up into a ball so as not to attract the attention of the aunt.Like Luo Yunrui, the second young mistress didn't know much about her aunt, but she was worried about something else.Now Luo Yunrui has brother Jie and is pregnant again.Although the third young lady was pregnant late, as long as she hasn't given birth, she still has a chance.only she...

During the whole family banquet, except for the old lady, no one was sincerely looking forward to the aunt, mother and son, right?

"Mother, I haven't seen Shaotian for a long time. Does he not come back until the New Year?" The aunt had been talking to the old lady in a low voice, but suddenly raised her voice, although her eyes didn't look at him. Luo Yunrui, but these words are clearly for her to answer.

Luo Yunrui was taken aback for a moment, seeing that the old lady had turned her gaze, quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand, and put on a polite smile: "Husband, it is true that he will not come back until the end of the year, but it should be soon." It’s over.” Now it’s only over a month before the New Year’s Eve, and it’s really coming soon.

The old lady nodded, she was not very satisfied with Luo Yunrui's answer, but she also knew that Luo Yunrui could not intervene in this matter.After all, Qin Shaotian is an official in Changzhou City, not playing around.The official's vacation is stipulated by the court, and no one can change it.

Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, the aunt smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I saw Shaotian, we may stay until the end of the new year this time, and I don't know if we can see Shaotian then."

Qin Shaotian can only take a vacation at the end of the year, which is the journey from Changzhou City to Luzhou City. Luo Yunrui doesn't think at all that his aunt will be lucky enough to meet Qin Shaotian.Unless, my aunt doesn't plan to leave until New Year 2829, because whether Qin Shaotian can catch up with Xiaonian is still a question.Naturally, she would not say such disappointing words. Facing the aunt who was looking forward to meeting her husband, Luo Yunrui smiled.Anyway, Qin Shaotian's itinerary was arranged by himself, even if he wanted to blame Luo Yunrui, he couldn't find a reason.

Although the old lady was a little displeased with Luo Yunrui because of Miss Xue's cousin.But it has been so long since Luo Yunrui gave birth to the eldest son and became pregnant again, and so long that Miss Xue's Biao became the third young mistress of the Qin family, and now she is also pregnant.Naturally, the old lady has let go of that matter.Because of this, even though there was still a trace of dislike in her heart, the old lady would not show it: "It would be the best if Shaotian can come back in time, but it's okay if you can't, just come back next time."

The aunt nodded again and again, and promised again and again that she would return to her mother's house often.It's just that what she said was just to coax the old lady. Don't you see that she didn't show up when the old master of the Qin family passed away and the old lady was seriously ill?God knows what kind of reason she condescended to go back to her natal home this time.

I thought my aunt would keep talking about Qin Shaotian, but she suddenly changed the subject and looked straight at Qin Xi: "Come on Xi'er, come over to Auntie, let Auntie take a good look at you."

Qin Xi was taken aback, and could hardly hold the chopsticks in her hand. Luo Yunrui touched her hand under the table, and then forced her to calm down: "Auntie." Qin Xi responded softly, but Qin Xi He didn't get up and go to his aunt.

"Xi'er, what's the matter? Come here, aunt." Seeing that Qin Xi didn't make any other movements, the aunt called again, with a hint of impatience besides a tired smile on her face.

Qin Xi was very hesitant, knowing that besides herself, there were two young masters from the Fang family on the aunt's side.Although they are relatives, cousins ​​and sisters are meant to avoid suspicion.

Luo Yunrui looked at Qin Xi, and reached out to hold her hand: "Is Xi'er shy again? Come, sister-in-law will take you there."

Glancing at Luo Yunrui gratefully, Qin Xi's body trembled slightly.Luo Yunrui took her hand and walked over slowly, but she didn't go directly to the aunt, but to the old lady: "Grandmother, Xi'er is still as timid as when she was a child!"

For Qin Xi, the granddaughter, the old lady still loves her dearly: "Yes, Xi'er has been timid and shy since she was a child. I also blame your aunt, who told her that she hasn't returned to her mother's house for so many years, so that Xi'er doesn't recognize her anymore. .”

The aunt hadn't returned to Qin's house for ten years, and ten years ago, at Qin Xi's age, it was impossible to remember the aunt, at most she had some impressions.

"Mother, let's see what you said." The aunt put away her impatient look this time, and raised her eyes to look at Qin Xi: "Xi'er has really grown up, look, how beautiful she is!"

Luo Yunrui felt that Qin Xi's hand in her palm was trembling all the time, so she took the initiative to pick up the topic: "Isn't it? I still remember the first time I saw Xi'er, she was still a little girl! Yes Yes, Yan'er was with her at that time."

The aunt doesn't seem to have any interest in Qin Yan at all. In fact, she doesn't have any interest in the second wife of the Qin family.As proud as she is, she even looks down on her own natal family, let alone the second master of the Qin family who is a concubine.Hearing what Luo Yunrui said, the aunt did not refute, but stared at Qin Xi with more interest: "Well, not bad, Xi'er has really grown into a big girl, my aunt rarely came back before, but in the future We can get closer."

Luo Yunrui vaguely felt that it would be a bit bad to continue talking about this topic, so she hesitated for a while: "Auntie, you must come back often in the future. That's all for Xi'er, this grandmother misses you so much that her hair turns gray .”

The old lady was amused by Luo Yunrui's slightly joking words. She is already at this age, and even if no one thinks about it, her hair will never turn black again.However, to be honest, since I fell ill that year, even though I was barely cured later, my bones have not recovered.God knows she still has a few years to live, so of course she is thinking about her daughter who is married far away.It would be best if the daughter married far away could come back to visit her often.

"That's that, that's that." Seeing the old lady's deeply appreciative expression, the aunt can only follow the topic, but the purpose of her visit today is not to reminisce about the past, so of course she must find a way to round up the topic Going back: "Mom, next time, I'll take my eldest and two wives back to my natal home, okay? There are also two children of the eldest, and the second daughter-in-law is also pregnant, so I will bring them together next time."

"Okay, okay, that's naturally the best." The old lady smiled blindly and said yes in multiple voices.The old man has worked hard all his life, isn't he looking forward to his children and grandchildren?The biological son has passed away, and the only daughter is the closest person to the old lady.

While coaxing the old lady, the aunt kept looking at Qin Xi with a look of estimating the goods, which made Qin Xi's heart skip a beat, wishing to hide directly behind Luo Yunrui.Seeing this, Luo Yunrui secretly felt something was wrong, and immediately said: "Xi'er, my stomach is a little heavy, please help me go back and sit down."

Although Luo Yunrui's voice was soft, it still fell into the ears of the old lady and the aunt, and the two of them couldn't keep Luo Yunrui any longer, so Qin Xi kindly helped Luo Yunrui go back and sit down up.After sitting in her seat, Luo Yunrui realized that her aunt looked at her with a hint of displeasure. It was also true that she had ruined her good deeds several times in a row.However, there is no other way, she can't possibly pay Qin Xi's life for the sake of pleasing her aunt, right?

I don't want to, Luo Yunrui has already led Qin Xi to avoid this, and the aunt still hasn't given up.However, probably also aware of Qin Xi's displeasure, the aunt's tone carried a touch of sarcasm: "Although Xi'er is still young, it's not appropriate for her to be so timid and shy. Our Fang family has been around for a hundred years. In an aristocratic family, even the youngest daughter-in-law should have the temperament of a lady!"
