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...
Mrs. Ye was choked by Qin Hexuan's words and could only smile awkwardly: "I'm just worried that she will cause trouble for you!"
Qingtian quickly said, "Mom, I will be a good boy."
After Qin Hexuan carried Qingtian out, he asked when they were alone, "Are your parents good to you?"
"Great!" Qingtian said without hesitation, "My parents love me so much. Mom is afraid that I won't be able to sleep well without her, so she always takes me with her when she goes out to work!"
Qin Hexuan thought, what's the good of coming out to work?
But if Mrs. Ye hadn’t brought Qingtian with her, he wouldn’t have been able to see Qingtian today.
"Do you usually eat well at home? Do you have meat to eat?"
"Yes, my father is a hunter. He has hunted sika deer, pheasants, and rabbits before. We always have meat to eat at home."
After hearing this, Qin Hexuan felt relieved and told Qingtian, "If anyone bullies you again, tell me, okay?"
"You're so far away. I haven't even been to the capital. Where can I find you?"
Qin Hexuan was stunned. This was indeed a problem.
"You shouldn't have returned to the village in the first place. It would have been much better if you went to the capital with my family."
Although Qingtian is young, he still understands some of these things.
"I'm going to Beijing where I don't know anyone and my family doesn't have money to buy a house. How am I going to make a living?
"Back in the village, at least I still have the house left in my hometown, and there are people of the same clan and surname who can help each other.
“When my family first returned to the village, we lived outside for several days!
"If Aunt Jiang hadn't gone, I don't know if I could live in my house."
Nanny Jiang only told Madam Qin about this matter and did not tell Qin Hexuan.
So Qin Hexuan only knew that Nanny Jiang went to Rongxi Village and came back saying that everything was fine with the Ye family. Why was it completely different in Qingtian's mouth?
Qin Hexuan asked Qingtian in detail and only then did he know the whole story.
"Are you saying that the son-in-law of that family is the manager of my family?" Qin Hexuan asked.
It’s also thanks to Qingtian’s innate good memory. If it were a child, there would be no way he could remember all these things.
"That's what Madam Jiang said. It seems like both of them work in your house."
Qin Hexuan asked a few more questions, memorized the names of the two people, and planned to drive them out of the house when he returned.
He is just a steward, yet he dares to use the name of Qin Mansion to bully others. He is really rebelling against him!
The two talked for a while, and then Qin Hexuan picked up Qingtian again and walked in the direction they had not gone in the morning.
"There are a lot of flowers over there. I'll take you there to see them."
The garden was much busier in the afternoon than in the morning, with many ladies and girls admiring the flowers.
Fortunately, Qin Hexuan is not very old, so it is not too embarrassing for him to mingle with them.
After a whole afternoon, everyone had basically figured out the origin of the sunny day.
Although no one knew why the daughter of a chef was favored by the young master of the Qin family, when everyone saw Qingtian being held in Qin Hexuan's arms, they immediately put aside her identity and praised her endlessly.
"The little girl is so pretty and fair."
"That's right! Look at those big eyes. They're like two black glass beads, sparkling and bright."
"Where was this dress made? Look at the cut and stitching, it's such a fine piece of workmanship."
Qingtian was a little overwhelmed by the praise, but after hearing the last sentence, he hurriedly said, "My second aunt made it. My second aunt's cooking skills are really good!"
Hearing Qingtian's words with an accent, many young girls around her did not have the same good self-control as the ladies, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
And in their opinion, there was nothing special about Qingtian's clothes, they were just slightly better than what their servants wore.
Qingtian didn't understand, but Qin Hexuan knew that they couldn't help but laugh at Qingtian, so he said, "Second Aunt Ye's craftsmanship is excellent. My mother specially asked someone to make my clothes for the changing season this year."
The few little girls who had been laughing just now immediately stopped smiling.
Although they didn't understand why Qin Hexuan was so protective of Qingtian, the lesson they learned from the Fu sisters that morning was right in front of them.
After all, Qin Hexuan had just returned from outside the Great Wall, and everyone was still unsure of his temper.
Princess Rui and Madam Qin were so protective of him that no one dared to provoke him.
The ladies who had been praising Qingtian before became even more excited after hearing Qin Hexuan's words. They surrounded Qingtian and praised his clothes, which were actually quite ordinary, to the sky.
She also kept asking Qin Hexuan how to find Ye Ersao to make custom clothes.
Qingtian is young and doesn't understand these superficial skills.
In particular, she sincerely felt that her second aunt's cooking skills were particularly good.
Moreover, since Second Aunt can make clothes for Princess Rui and Qin Hexuan, she can naturally make clothes for others as well.
So in order to help her second aunt attract business, she told everyone in great detail where she lived.
Seeing that Qin Hexuan was showing a little impatience, several people immediately stopped and after a few polite words, they said goodbye and left with their children.
After walking a distance, a teenage girl curled her lips and said, "Mom, you're not really going to go to those desolate mountains to find someone to make clothes for you, are you? If you want to make clothes, make them for yourself. I don't want them."
"Silly child, mother was just being polite to Young Master Qin.
"Young Master Qin is just bluffing you. There are so many embroiderers in the Qin Mansion, why would you travel all the way to a place like that to find someone to make clothes?
"He just said that because he saw you all secretly laughing at that little girl.
“It’s strange to say, I don’t know how the little girl fell into the hands of Young Master Qin, and he actually protects her so much.
