During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Qin Hexuan finally understood his mother's intentions and quickly said, "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do.
“Originally I said I would bring Qingtian to see you after lunch.
"But my mother should be accompanying my aunt this afternoon, so I won't bring her here."
Madam Qin nodded and said, "All the people here today are women, and there really aren't any playmates of your age. If you'd like to go find Qingtian to play with, that's fine.
"Okay, go change your clothes quickly, don't let your aunt wait for us."
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she sent her maid Yuetao to help Qin Hexuan change his clothes.
Qin Hexuan had just returned from outside the Great Wall, and he found it difficult to understand why he had to change clothes several times a day.
When I was outside the Great Wall, I would only change clothes in time if I sweated too much after practicing martial arts.
But what made him very strange today was that he didn't wear the clothes he had chosen yesterday in the morning.
After arriving at the garden by car wearing another set of casual clothes, he changed into the clothes he had chosen earlier.
I have only been wearing this outfit for half a day, and now I am just going to have lunch, why do I have to change it again?
Qin Hexuan asked Yue Tao.
Yue Tao had learned this since she was a child, and had been doing it this way since she followed Madam Qin. She had never thought about why, so she was stunned by his question.
"This...isn't this the case for all people of status?"
After hearing her say this, Qin Hexuan understood.
There is no reason at all, it's just that rich people have nothing better to do and want to show off.
Fortunately, these people are not so particular as to be crazy, so they don't need to change everything from inside to outside, just an outer robe is enough.
Qin Hexuan quickly packed up and went to the door to wait for Mrs. Qin.
Changing clothes for Mrs. Qin is a bit more troublesome. Not only does she have to change her dress, but she also has to change her head ornaments to match the color of her clothes, and finally she has to touch up her makeup lightly.
Fortunately, Qin Hexuan is more patient than his peers, and he doesn't show any impatience while standing at the door waiting.
Yue Tao watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I'm used to seeing all kinds of spoiled young masters from other families, so it's a bit hard to get used to meeting such a steady one.
No wonder the lady always felt that she owed the young master too much, causing him to lose the liveliness and playfulness that his peers should have at such a young age.
Because she was afraid that Princess Rui would be waiting for her, Madam Qin moved much faster than usual this time and managed the timing just right.
The mother and son came out of the yard and just stood at the door when Princess Rui came out of the yard.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No way, we just came out and haven't even stood firmly yet!"
The two sisters came to the flower hall chatting and laughing.
The flower hall in the garden is very large, and it doesn't feel cramped even with many tables and cushions.
The seat of Princess Rui was naturally at the top, Madam Qin and Qin Hexuan were arranged to sit closest to her, and the rest of the people were seated in order.
After most people were seated, Princess Rui asked, "Is everyone here?"
Mrs. Qin glanced around the flower hall and immediately found that the four missing people were Kang, Hong, Fu Rongqi and Fu Rongyue.
While Mrs. Qin was checking, the others were also looking around curiously, and soon they found out who was missing. A burst of murmurs of discussion was heard in the hall.
"I thought someone was late, but it turns out someone was embarrassed to come."
"After losing such a big person, if you can still come and eat as if nothing happened, that's really amazing."
"If it were me, I'd be on my way home by now, let alone eating."
"What do you think Master Fu would do if he knew about this?"
"Oh, that's going to be exciting. Everyone in the capital knows that Master Fu is trying to curry favor with Master Qin!
"Now look what's happened. I came to a flower viewing banquet, but instead of building any connections, I ended up offending people. If I were Master Fu, I'd probably be so angry that I'd vomit blood."
"Even if it's Master Fu, he has to spit blood. You forgot that she offended more than just the Qin family.
"The one sitting up there is Young Master Qin's aunt.
"My nephew just returned from outside the Great Wall and has already suffered such an injustice. Can Princess Rui just stand by and watch?"
After hearing this, everyone felt a deep sympathy for Master Fu Heng, but more of them were just there to watch the fun.
Fu Heng was a somewhat controversial official in the court.
In fact, in terms of ability, he is not bad, otherwise he would not have been able to reach such an important position as the Minister of Personnel.
But he has a problem, he likes to build relationships with people.
Even though it can be done impartially, he insists on using connections and asking friends for help.
It seems like he has friends all over the world and is familiar with everyone.
But in fact, even if something can be done directly, once you ask someone to find connections, you will inevitably have to rely on favors.
Because of Fu Heng's illness, the Fu family wastes countless dollars every year.
More than half of the government's annual expenses are spent on this.
A few years ago, after Qin Songyin suddenly rose to prominence and became a popular figure around the emperor, Fu Heng had always wanted to have a good relationship with him.
It's just that the two of them didn't have much interaction, and Qin Songyin didn't like Fu Heng's personality, so they never became close friends.
This year, the emperor suddenly appointed Qin Songyin and Fu Heng to be jointly responsible for next year's Spring Examination.
So Fu Heng stuck to Qin Songyin like a dog-skin plaster.
Although the capital is big, there are only these people in the circle. If there is something happening in someone's family, everyone else knows it very well.
