Mrs. Ye put Qingtian on the carriage and said with some concern, "Mrs. Qin, if Qingtian doesn't obey..."
Mrs. Qin was staring at Qingtian with her eyes wide open and didn't hear what she said at all.
She grabbed Qingtian's little hand and said softly, "Your name is Qingtian, right? Come here and let me see you, okay?"
Qingtian looked at Mrs. Ye and saw her nod before he walked to Mrs. Qin.
Madam Qin hugged her into her arms, looked at her carefully and said, "Sister-in-law of the Ye family, no wonder I always feel that our two families are destined to be together.
"My dear girl, you look about 70% similar to my eldest sister when she was little.
“Even storytellers can’t describe such a coincidence!
"Leave the child with me, and you can rest assured!"
It was Qing Tian's first time riding in a carriage. She thought the mule cart she had taken in the morning was already very good, as it could shelter her from the wind and rain and it was warm to sit inside.
Now that I'm in the carriage, I realize there is such a comfortable place.
From the outside, the Qin family's carriage looked only slightly more luxurious and refined than usual.
Who knew there was a whole new world inside?
The carriage is covered with exquisite jacquard blankets and the walls are wrapped with thick felt. Whether you want to lie down or lean on something, it is fluffy and warm, and you don't have to worry about bumping into anything.
A few soft pillows with brocade surfaces were casually placed on the blanket for the owner to use at any time.
There is a square table in the middle of the carriage. The table should be connected to the carriage, because the table is still stable when the carriage is moving.
At this time, on the table, near Mrs. Qin, there was a box of snacks, a pot of tea and a teacup.
Near Young Master Qin, there was a book.
Mrs. Qin asked Qingtian to sit next to her and gave her a dessert.
"Thank you, ma'am." After thanking her, Qingtian held the snack in both hands and started eating it in small bites.
Mrs. Qin didn't have a daughter herself, so she loved Qingtian so much when she saw how well-behaved she was.
Not only did she bring her delicious food, she also took out her jewelry box and re-dressed her hair.
Qin Hexuan was originally concentrating on reading, but gradually, his gaze on the book became less and less, and his gaze towards Qingtian became more and more frequent.
After Mrs. Qin noticed her son's little action, she smiled and said, "If you can't bear to read it, put it away. I told you not to read in the car. It's bad for your eyes.
"Didn't you ask me before what my aunt in the capital looked like?
"Come and see Qingtian and you'll see. Her features are very similar to your aunt's."
Qin Hexuan closed the book in his hand and lovingly put it back into the bookcase beside him. Then he looked at Qingtian carefully as he was told.
Qingtian actually has a pair of standard peach blossom eyes.
Because she is too thin, her eyes appear even bigger.
When she is not smiling, her eyes are shaped like flower petals, with the corners of her eyes slightly tilted up, as if she was born with a smile on her face.
Once she smiles, her eyes turn into crescent moons, making people want to laugh along with her.
Below the eyes is a small, upturned nose, the tip of which is surprisingly round and fleshy, very cute.
Compared with eyes and nose, lip shape is the biggest highlight of Sunny Day's facial features.
Although her lips are thin, her lip peaks are clear and distinct.
When she smiles, two small dimples appear on her lips.
Qingtian was a little nervous when he first got on the carriage, but later he found that Mrs. Qin and Young Master Qin were both very friendly people, so he gradually relaxed.
Not only did he answer all of Mrs. Qin's questions, he also learned to recite a poem from Qin Hexuan.
There was a happy atmosphere in the carriage in front, but Mrs. Ye in the back was uneasy all afternoon and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look forward.
She didn't know for a moment whether she was worried that Qingtian would be sent back for being disobedient, or whether she hoped that Qingtian would be sent back to her as soon as possible.
They kept going like this until it was getting dark. The Qin family found a suitable place to stop the convoy. It was time to cook again.
Mrs. Ye had been standing on tiptoe for the entire afternoon. When she stopped, she felt her calves and ankles were sore and swollen.
But Second Sister Ye had already come over and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do with the fish tonight?"
Mrs. Ye calculated that there were still five big fish in the bucket. With so many people, it might not be enough to cook them all.
"Have your eldest brother chop up that wild boar rib, add those fish, and stew it in an iron pot!"
Mrs. Ye sat down on the flatbed cart and rubbed her sore ankle.
"Let the children look around to see if they can find potatoes or other wild vegetables. Then put them in the pot and top it with cornmeal pancakes..."
Before he finished speaking, Second Sister-in-law Ye and Third Sister-in-law Ye both sucked their saliva at the same time.
Second Sister Ye said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, you must be exhausted. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll go clean up the fish and call you later."
Mrs. Ye was straightforward and didn't think she had made a fool of herself. She smiled and said, "Just hearing you say that makes my mouth water. It's been a while since we've had fish stewed in an iron pot. You sit down and I'll go build the fire."
As soon as the Ye family started to build a fire, the Qin family's servants all looked over here.
The skeptical look they had at noon was no longer in their eyes, and was replaced by fanatical anticipation.
At noon, in addition to sending a bowl of rabbit meat to Mrs. Qin and Young Master Qin, Mrs. Ye also filled a full bowl and gave it to Li Fu, saying that it was for the servants of the Qin family to have a taste as well.
The Qin family has many servants, and a big bowl of rabbit meat is just a drop in the bucket.
Each person gets only two small pieces in their bowl, which are gone after just a taste.
But this little bit of rabbit meat, which was usually not enough to fill the gaps between teeth, suddenly conquered the stomachs of all the servants of the Qin family.
The two maids who were in the same car with Old Lady Ye took advantage of her kindness and ate a feast of rabbit meat at noon. They praised Mrs. Ye's cooking skills and were looking forward to having dinner as soon as it got dark all afternoon.
At this time, Old Lady Ye was also secretly delighted. She used a bowl of rabbit meat as a stepping stone and successfully opened the two maids' mouths.
That afternoon, under the subtle guidance of Old Lady Ye, the two maids told her a lot about the situation in the capital.
From customs and habits, human relationships, to taboos.
From small things like where to find work in the city to where to sell mountain products at the best price.
Old Mrs. Ye remembered everything that would be useful in her future life at home, and thought to herself that this bowl of rabbit meat was really worth the money.
Mrs. Ye rested for a while, and while everyone in the family was preparing dinner, she ignored her sore legs and feet and prepared to go and pick up Qingtian, who had been riding in the carriage for the whole afternoon.
She always feels uneasy when her daughter is not with her.
Who knew that after taking the child, I found that the two small buns on Qingtian's head had turned into two hanging buns, with two pearl flowers that looked not cheap inserted on them.
