Return of the Swallow

Yao Shi recalled the moments when he got along with Qin Yining, and said with a smile: "Father, you are afraid that you have been worrying too much."

"Oh?" Yao Chenggu put down his pipe and looked serious.

"Daughter looks at Ms. Qin as a smart person, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows etiquette. I deliberately said something awkward and she didn't bother her. She responded beautifully, and she has always respected her elders. She is not an arrogant person. He also seems to know the situation of the DPRK very well."

The more I said, the more satisfied the Yao family was with Qin Yining, and his smile gradually deepened, "I heard that Master Qin has only such an only daughter. Today, watching her talk about her temperament, it is clear that Master Qin's education is excellent. Presumably Master Qin should also be a smart People who know rituals do not look at the situation of the court, but only look at character. The Qin family is a good choice for relatives."

Ma snorted on the side: "You father and daughter are thinking too much and planning too much. From my point of view, how clever children we are, Dafu, who can be recognized by him, can be worse? You are not good. The girl came from thousands of miles away, but your father and dad deliberately went to test, are you afraid of ruining the big blessing?"

Yao Chenggu listened to the old wife talking louder and louder, and at the end he missed the table, not annoyed, just laughed and listened to her scolding.

After Ma said, he said gently: "Don't be angry, we also have to check for Dafu, and if Yuping's random trial can annoy Miss Qin today, it can only prove that the girl is not suitable for our family. Dafu."

"Yes, mother." Yao Shi also nodded.

Ma snorted: "Qin's girl is annoyed. That's because you have done too much. Can you blame others? You deliberately test, don't you let them be annoyed?"

"Mother, that's not what I meant." Yao explained in a warm voice, "Our Dafu is now in a tight position in the court. Don't look at him as a king with a different surname. The scenery is infinite, and the sacred jealousy is the hatred of those old officials in Beiji. And the existence of those great families is our embarrassment. Dafu has a shallow foundation and an awkward position. If we can’t have a smart and stable girl as a good helper, it will not only harm Dafu, but also our family. It hurts the Qin family."

"Yes." Yao Chenggu also said, "This is not to embarrass the Qin family girl, but to see if she is suitable to enter our house. If her temperament is not suitable, she will suffer from marrying in the future. It is better to pinch the source from the beginning. , You want to be the first. If Dafu’s wife is unable to hold her foot in battle, not only Dafu will suffer, but both families will suffer along with it."

"You two have a lot of truth." Ma is not stupid, but he is not as careful as the father and daughter. After listening to Yao Chenggu and Yao's analysis, he also understood their meaning in his heart, and finally said, "Yours The idea is good, and it is also out of good intentions, but the method is not bright. It's not a good idea to try it once. Ms. Qin, everyone, is not a commodity for sale. Can you still choose it by your trial?"

"What the mother said is." Yao Shi smiled and nodded.

Yao Chenggu also smiled and said, "I listen to you."

Ma snorted, thinking that Pang Xiao finally has a happy girl, maybe she will soon have a great-grandson to hug, and her mood gets better.

Qin Yining was holding hands by Pang Xiao and walking slowly on the path to the outer courtyard study.

The stone bricks on the ground are arranged neatly in the form of fish scales, and the snow is cleaned up very clean. Only occasionally there are white lines remaining in the cracks of the ground bricks. The thick white snow on the courtyard walls will be lifted by the wind and shattered. In the warm sun in the afternoon, it was very crystal clear.

If you ignore the servants and maids who often salute, in fact, Qin Yining is very willing to hold hands with Pan Xiao and keep walking.

"Didn't you say that I made an appointment with Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu? Shouldn't we hurry over this meeting?"

Qin Yining withdrew his hand, pretending to look away nonchalantly, deliberately not to look at her just now so as to look at her mother-in-law.

Pang Xiao laughed: "No hurry, it's okay for them to wait." Slightly rough fingers touched her auricle lightly, "Look, the ears are red. Are they cold?"

This person is asking knowingly, it's really bad!

"Anyone who does this is not afraid to make a joke if you look at it?"

"What's so funny? Now who doesn't know that this king has snatched the young lady from the Qin family home? It would be weird if I just treat you politely when I go to the house."

Pang Xiao talked about her long arms, grabbed Qin Yining into her arms, and leaned to her ears and said: "The more I am like this, the more real it is."

Qin Yining blinked and asked nervously in a low voice, "Are there many spies in your mansion?"

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "There are eyeliners in every way that doesn't matter. But don't worry, I know it in my heart."

Qin Yining nodded, if the iron barrel guarded by the king's mansion was generally impervious to the wind, would Emperor Zhou be even more worried, right?

Put in a few spies appropriately, you only need to control the channels through which these people get the news to control the situation.

Maybe these spies can be used for their own purposes at the critical moment.

Seeing Qin Yining nodded obediently, did not ask more, and looked like everything was clear to his heart, Pang Xiao couldn't help but squeezed her face, "You understand everything like this, it seems I am very useless."

Qin Yining laughed: "Is the prince's abilities still scarce? He wants to come back to'recovery', and pave the way for my father to watch in the future, and worry about whether the old man will make things difficult for me, and I have to think about making me happy. Your heart is almost broken into a few petals and used, is this still a useless place?"

"You all know?" Although Pang Xiao knew that Qin Yining would understand him, but he could not help but to hear these words from her.

"How can I not know what you did for me?" Qin Yining sighed lightly and stopped slowly.

Pang Xiao also stopped, looked down at her, smoothed out the broken hair in her ears, and tightened her neckline.

Qin Yining looked up at his smiling brows.

Every time this man confronts her, he will converge all his external vigour and show only the most special side in front of her.

Knowing that she was in danger, he knew that she might not be able to find someone, so he transferred his troops privately regardless of the danger of being suspected of by Emperor Zhou.

In order not to delay the development of the Qin family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he ignored his reputation and performed some bandits in front of others. He didn't care what others said about him.

The reason why the Emperor Zhou would absorb the surrenders was to balance the relationship between the elders and the upstarts.The descendants of the Yan Dynasty were headed by Qin Huaiyuan. Once the Qin family arrived, they would surely be reused.

The Emperor Zhou was so afraid of Pang Xiao, how could he allow Pang Xiao to have such a powerful Yue family?

If Pang Xiao re-entered Dayan today and showed a deep love for her, I am afraid that Qin Huaiyuan's career and the development of the Qin family would be cut off.

Qin Yining sighed and snuggled into his arms, pressed his side face to his chest, and put his arms around his thin waist.

Pang Xiao was surprised and delighted. This was the first time Qin Yining actively hugged her in front of others.He was stunned and didn't know where to put his arms. After a long while, he recovered, and gradually tightened his arms, his chin rubbed her forehead cherishedly.

"Cold?"

"Well. You are really cold here, Liangcheng is still cold. However, I am at ease now."

It is the greatest compliment to a man to make her beloved feel at ease.

His sister Yi is so caring, she has gone through a lot of hardships, she was almost killed, she was almost frozen to death in the mountains, starved to death, and after being found, she worked hard for his impulse and was not safe. When she met him, she never said any bitterness, and never showed a hint of grievance.As if all this is what she should bear.

He obviously didn't clear the obstacles for her and propped up a sky where she could breathe freely, but she repaid his imperfection with a sentence of "safety".

Pang Xiao closed her eyes and put a cherished and important kiss on her forehead.

"Anyway, you are by my side now. As long as you are under my nose, don't make my arm longer, don't make me afraid, everything is nothing."

Qin Yining smiled sharply, "What you are talking about. If you have anything to do, take it together, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Pan Xiao also smiled, rubbing her lips with her thumb, his eyes blurred by the soft touch, but she shyly stepped back and avoided it.

"Let's go to the study, it's rude to make people wait for a long time."

Pang Xiao nodded helplessly, holding Qin Yining's hand in his hand, warming her slightly chilly fingers with his warm palm, and smiling: "Although the palace is large, the only thing I often do is the outer courtyard study. He also stayed in the study, so you can come and find me directly if you have anything to do."

"After all, I was'kidnapped' by you, and I can't do too much."

"I want to'tie' you directly in the study room, but you are so frivolous, that my family will look down upon you when they see you. That's all."

When the two came to the outer courtyard study room while chatting, the tiger in front of the courtyard was standing with his hands and was freezing into an ice sculpture.

"Lord, you are here, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie have eaten tea three times." Huzi jumped on the spot, and came nearby to salute Qin Yining, "Good girl."

Pang Xiao said sternly: "We have something important to discuss, you order people to look around the study room."

Seeing that Pang Xiao was so serious, Huzi immediately corrected his expression and said, "Yes."

The study room is the same as the courtyard. There is a heated kang beside the window of the Nuan Pavilion, which is warm from the kang. The head is covered with soft dark blue mats, and there is a brazier on the ground, with good silver frost charcoal burning inside.

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao resolved their cloaks and just sat down, and Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, who had been waiting in the side room for a long time, came together. They followed dozens of people behind them, all dressed up.

Qin Yining said in surprise: "These are all your staff?"

"Yeah." Pang Xiao smiled and nodded, "Today I only invited some of the core people to let you know."

Qin Yining can't help but slap her tongue, there are so many staff members under Pang Xiao!

When contemplating, everyone had saluted together.
